FTISLAND- Take Me Now

This song is EPIC!!! I've been FTISLAND's for awhile now, and I love the direction that they have been going in since Pray. Pray definitely had a more rock and roll vibe to it, which I totally love, and I'm pleased that they are continuing on that rock and roll track. I love their old music, but I honestly believe that their new songs are just so much better and that have risen to a whole new level. Their music has evolved beautifully and I'm impressed with this song.

The video itself was pretty artsy and interesting to watch. The beginning of the video kind of gave me a shock. All the glitching and static sounds made me think that there was something wrong with my computer or my headphones. However, I was relieved that it was neither and it was all just the editing of the video. I love the lighting that they used during the video. the use of the different lightings, like the florescent lighting, red lighting, and the darker more natural lighting of the fire. It added variety and interest to video. The glitched throughout the video, like the white flashes and just plain glitches, I found kind of annoying. At the start of the song, the frame changes at the beginning of the song, before the vocals, were very fitting and they matched the music. Those changes I accepted. however the white glitches didn't really fit in and were a constant part of the video, that were frustrating.

I'm surprised by the large amount of English that they have in their lyrics in this song. I looked up the lyrics after watching the video and I found that a majority of the lyrics were English. It was kind of cool to have FTISLAND sing in mostly English, but I kind of wished that they sang in mainly Korean. Some of the pronunciation I found a bit awkward and I honestly think it with Korean lyrics, though I do find their attempt to be spectacular.

The instrumentals in the song was better than I ever heard FTISLAND play. The guitar riffs between vocal parts were phenomenal, but in general the guitar parts are really good. The drum part during the verses also added a nice, natural glitch-like sound. The blending were also really great and I totally love the full sound that they were making.

In general, this is my favorite song that FTISLAND has released thus far. I'm really looking forward to their album, Where's the Truth?. I read on other websites that the whole album is a direct response to rumors and I find that really interesting. Anyway, I hope that FTISLAND continues to make such amazing music in the future and I honestly can't wait to see what they come out with next. So.. um... yeah...

Produce X 101- Final Ranking

So, I was actually able to watch the entire finale. I'm still going to hold off on writing anything about the actual show portion of this episode until english subtitles are released. That being said the group name is X1. It's sweet and simple and basically sums up the premise of this season. Now onto the rankings. My current top 11 are: 1. Cho Seung Youn 2. Lee Han Gyul 3. Han Seung Woo 4. Keum Dong Hyun 5. Hwang Yun Seong 6. Kim Yo Han 7. Song Yu Vin 8. Song Hyung Jun 9. Son Dong Pyo 10. Nam Do Hyun 11. Lee Jin Hyuk I know I already changed my list from literally yesterday. I honestly happy with whatever the final ranking is as long as Cho Seung Youn and Han Seung Woo get in. If Lee Han Gyul get in, that's an extra bonus. I truly wish that all of the guys could debut in X1, which obviously is not going to happen. Anyway, onto the official rankings. 1. Kim Yo Han When they told us 1st place was down to Kim Woo Seok or Kim Yo Han, I was not surprised. I th...

LOONA- Why Not?

 I know this came out like a week ago, so I am a little late on this. However, I have been listening to this song a lot and watching a lot of stages for it as well as the music video and every time I watch one I just have more opinions. I feel like when it comes to Loona, I spend so much time talking about line distribution. That's mainly because line distribution is shit and its basically Heejin and her back ups, which is just really distracting. I understand that Heejin is a talented performer, but so are the other girls, and they deserve some screentime and lines too. That being said, despite Heejin's overwhelming amount of lines, I declare Why Not? Vivi's era because I am so psyched that she actually got lines, screen time, and a center position. Bless the kpop gods because I've been waiting for Vivi to got some recognition. The music video itself I don't really have anything to talk about, besides appreciation for Hyunjin getting some extra screen time because ...

NCT Dream- Chewing Gum

Ok, so, another sub group of NCT, NCT Dream, came out Chewing Gum. This might be favorite single that NCT came out with. It's so bright, fun, and cute. Every time I see the video I break out into a smile. The story is pretty lighthearted, and it's very entertaining to watch. I absolutely love the bright colors that they use throughout the video. It really adds to the group's cute and bright theme. I found the video quite interesting to watch. They had a variety of different sets, including the ones made by the computer, and all of them were of bright colors. I also enjoyed the electronic made backgrounds for when the members had the closeups. Each person had a different animated background, so it was interesting to see what was behind them. I also kind of funny that they were using those hoverboard-thingies. (I have no idea what they're called, but I think it's a hoverboard?) The song is quite catchy, and I could probably listen to it over and over again for hou...
