EXO-CBX- Hey Mama!

I've been looking forward to this sub-group's debut since their promotional video. I was not let down by their debut. Hey Mama! is fun and catchy, definitely something I love to watch. I'm so excited my bias, Baekhyun, is able to showcase his abilities even more, that Xiumin is able to show us just how great he is, and being able to hear Chen's voice even more. I find this combination to be interesting and I feel that the song fits well with the personalities that these guys show us. I love watching this video due to how fun it is.

The song is funky and catchy. It has a nice guitar part with drums, which I really love. The "rap" part sort of confuses me since everyone in the group is a vocal in EXO, but it's fun to see them try different things. The rest of the music is basically vocals, which these guys rock at. Their ability to do harmonies and have different parts to fill in otherwise empty areas are great.

I feel that the parts could be divided more equally, mainly to give more parts to Xiumin. It appears that Baekhyun gets the most amount of parts and is focused more in this video than any other member, even though Chen is the main love interest for the girl in the video. Baekhyun tends to take the center when they dance, has more close ups, wears a pinstripe suit (which I LOVE!!) when the other two wear solid colored suits, and wears a completely different outfit when the other two wear vests and and glasses. I love Baekhyun, but I do believe that the parts should be split evenly.

The dance is fantastic! It ends flow to it with sharp parts and the dance in the chorus is great! I honestly couldn't believe that they dabbed. I didn't think that dabbing would actually be used in a Kpop video. But anyway the dance is very good and entertaining to watch, and I hope a dance version or a dance practice is released for this video. There's only one problem that I have with this dance and that's at the very end when the guys have their hands behind their back. Each member has their hands placed differently, which kind of bugs me, but other than that the dance is great and entertaining.

Anyway, I can't wait to listen to the rest of the album, and hopefully the rest of the songs are as fun and easy to listen to as this one. I also will be waiting for their performance on a music show so I can see more of this great dance. This is a great song that I can listen to on repeat to no end, and I hope that it does well, but hopefully it won't interfere with SHINee's comeback. I hope EXO-CBX does well and that this group and their debut song receives a lot of love. I put the video below for anyone that wants to see it. 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...
