Red Velvet- One of These Nights

I saw the preview a couple of days ago and was really looking forward to this video. So far I have loved all of Red Velvet's bright and fun songs like Happiness, Ice Cream Cake, and Dumb Dumb. Even though, I would have preferred one of those types of videos, I still liked this video. I loved the constantly changing scenes that Red Velvet tend to have. It definitely made the video interesting and just a bit quirky.

The first thing I noticed in this video, was Wendy's bright red hair. I didn't like it with the first hairstyle that they showed, but I loved it with the others. I also really love Seulgi's hair, I absolutely adore the color. I also enjoyed Joy's hair cut. I loved her hair before, but I actually thinks she looks more mature with this hair and she looks really looks good in it. I also loved the thick curls Irene had in the video. The curls in the high ponytail looked PERFECT on her. I believe that I saw Yeri with blond hair with pink tips. I also really think that was really pretty as well.

Talking about Yeri, I was disappointed by the lack of her in the video. I looked up the color coded lyrics for this song and found that she barely had any lines, 3 solo lines to be exact. I am also upset about the lack of Irene as well, since she also had only 3 solo lines, and was barely shown in the video.

Even though there was a lack of Yeri and Irene, I liked the song. It was very smooth and was nice and simple. I really loved the blending of their voices with melodies and harmonies. It definitely made the song so much more interesting with these harmonies.  I also LOVED that Wendy had so many lines. Wendy is my bias in this group and I love her voice a ton, so I was pleased that I could hear her voice so much in this song. I especially loved her singing in the bridge. It was absolutely PERFECT. Seulgi also did a FANTASTIC job. I love both of their voices, but I do wish that the other girls, Irene and Yeri especially, would have more parts. Here's the proof of how little parts they have and how great Wendy's and Seulgi's voices are.


The background music for this song was also on point. The strings in the beginning was beautiful and told helped you get into the mood. The piano by itself in the first verse was definitely helped the ballad and have the girls' voices stand out. I wasn't exactly a fan of the music when they go "Uri dasi manna", but it's growing on me. The bass part is just perfect throughout the song and adds so much. It really sticks out to me in the line right before the second verse, and it is just SOO AWESOME. I literally listen to that line over and over again. The vocal harmonies, the harmonies in general *swoons* ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. The part right before "Uri dasi manna" is also FANTASTIC. The piano part is fantastic and so is the melody. The music during the bridge is absolutely beautiful. The build for the final chorus is GREAT. The vocal harmonies and instrumental harmonies throughout the song is just FANTASTIC and completely makes the song absolutely PHENOMENAL.

In contrast to the music, I wasn't a huge fan of the outfits in this video. I liked all of Seulgi's outfits though. The white she wore at first was gorgeous. At first I was questionable but when I saw her wear it on the balcony I liked the dress. The grey dress she wore I also really liked, since it made me think of lolita style clothing. The dress she wore in the second verse was my favorite in the entire video. It really was such a cute dress, and I really want it. I would've liked Wendy's outfits as well if wasn't for the weird flares on her skirts. Irene's outfit during the final chorus was also SO CUTE. I wasn't a huge fan of Joy's clothing during this video. It just isn't my style. I really couldn't tell exactly what Yeri's pink dress looks like, since I don't believe that she stood up in that dress.

Overall, I enjoyed both the video and song in this video, but again I want more equal parts. I'm looking forward to the rest of the album, which I will be listening to ASAP. I definitely want to hear the other 3 versions of the song that they have in the album. I also that the other songs INCLUDE YERI AND IRENE MORE!! I really want to see the dance to this song, if there is one (there probably is). I really hope that at least in the dance, Yeri and Irene will be able to have more of a part.

So.. um.. 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...
