B.A.P. -Carnival

THIS ALBUM IS AWESOME!!! It's a short and fun album, that is so enjoyable to listen to. The songs are great and all give me such a good feeling. I know they tend to do strong hip-hop songs and they're awesome, but I absolutely LOVE this album, and the fun and happy feeling that I get from the songs. I love every single one. If I would have to choose a favorite, though it would be between Today and Albatross, but really all the songs are GREAT. And can I just that the cover for this album is the BEST! It's so cute and amusing, I absolutely LOVE it.

Today- This song is AMAZING. It's the perfect intro for the album. It makes me imagine entering an amazing carnival, with so many huge and exciting places for me to look at. It gives a feeling of excitement, and is beautifully made. The variety of instruments and the huge hit of perfect harmonies just hit you in the face. The vocals add that perfect finishing touch to it and that sort of lasting feeling. Even though this song is short it has a HUGE impact.

Carnival- I absolutely love the background music in this song. It has a sort of jazzy feel to it. The saxophone is FANTASTIC. There is so much energy and it's soo catchy. "Oh lala shake it shake it!!" I absolutely love it. The vocal part before the chorus as well as chorus itself, was sooo catchy and sounds great. It gives me the feeling of hanging out with my friends going to all of these different stalls, and just having a good time

Feel So Good- Ok, so the main song of the album. Of course, it's catchy and AMAZING! The guitar riff at the beginning of the song is great. there is also a large amount of energy I could feel with this song. The entire song is great, but I really love the chorus. It's really catchy and fun. This perfectly represents the rest of the album in sound and feeling. There's a huge amount of fun energy with these energetic instruments, insane vocals, and great rap sequences. 

Go- The instrumental melody in the beginning is SOOO CUTE. Actually, in general, the background music great. It gave me that sort of 80s feel with a modern touch. The song has a nice flow with the chorus, verse, and bridge. Unlike some other songs I've heard recently the rap blends well with the rest of the song, which could be said with the rest of album. I also really love the unanimous section near the end with the minimal background music, it really made you feel the excitement

Albatross- This song is GREAT! The guitar and clapping gets you into it, and then BAM a wild Zelo appears with this AWESOME rap. Then there's half time section which is fantastic. The bridge is perfect. This song also brings the feeling of a huge carnival, which I absolutely love. It makes me feel as if there's an airshow above. What I also love is the title of the song, Albatross. It's the perfect title for the song. An albatross it a sea bird and in the song it talks about rising above the people that put you down and being a bird, in a sort of sense, and flying high, which would mean being successful. It's a great sounding song and it has a beautiful meaning behind it. 

My Girl- It starts off with this soft guitar and then the vocals come in. The crescendo on girl and the cutoff was GREAT! the cutoffs in general in the song is really good. I absolutely love when modern artists use classic techniques. The bass in the part right before the last chorus was PERFECT. The part before the choruses have exactly build up to the chorus. This song is the perfect ending to the album. It gives a sort of satisfied feeling and energy that you have a fun day at the carnival. The memories flooding through as well as willingness to go home, since you know that you made good memories.

All in all, this album is definitely one of my favorites. There is such a fun and energetic energy throughout the album. They all add to the feeling of a fun carnival day that is absolutely perfect. What I love most about this album is the image of a huge carnival and going through all the awesome experiences and events at the carnival. It makes you feel like you are actually there and experiencing all of these amazing things. I honestly haven't been able to do this with any other album but this one, and I find absolutely AMAZING. Since this album creates such vivid imagery and gives off such strong happy emotions, I feel like it can be listened with your eyes closed imagining the day at the carnival or for dancing, singing, and grooving along. Anyway FANTASTIC album, I absolutely love it, and it is definitely my favorite of the year, so far. If any other albums that come out this year that are anything like this one, I would be SOOO HAPPY!

So... yeah...

Sailor Moon- Jadeite

After a watching a video on Sailor Moon that was constantly on my recommended on YouTube, I was reminded with how much I loved this show. This, of course, led me to rewatch the entire show because wasting hours of my life for no reason is my favorite past time. I also found that I seriously lacked anime content so that led me to want to write about it. I was trying to figure out how writing this would work because there are a lot of episodes which means I'm not going to review Sailor Moon as a whole because I would forget the beginning by the time I got to the end. I also would not review every single episode because again there are a lot and since it's a superhero show there are a lot of "throw away" episodes. (This also lead me to want to create an "essential viewing" list, which would include only episodes that I think is important in regards to plot or character development.) The arcs themselves are quite large and are split into even smaller parts with ...

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...

Astro- Baby

For those who might know, Astro is a somewhat new group under Fantagio that debuted in 2016. I have been fans of theirs since I watched To Be Continued, which is available on Netflix. 😉 (Check it out!) Sanha has to be my bias 💛, but Moon Bin is such a bias wrecker. 😖 I LOVE this song! It continues their fresh, sweet, and fun concept that they have kept since debut. However, this is less cutesy and right up my alley. It's smooth but still bright, which is absolutely perfect. It has that certain funk to it that is irresistible and insanely catchy. The reoccurring beat is sooo catchy and is great. The electric guitar at 2:43 is EPIC!! I'd have to say though that the ending has to be my favorite part. That beautiful harmony hits the spot, and is perfection. But, Sanha singing the 2nd chorus was really great as well (I really love his voice 💛) One thing I love about this video is how it's filmed in first person so it feels as if you are truly experiencing what's happ...
