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...

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...
