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 happening in the video. I also love how they gave each of the boys a color and gave them a description in the menu, which is

Red (Moon Bin)- energy, passion, warm, love
Orange (MJ)- cheerful, lively, jolly
Yellow (Sanha 💛)- hopeful, happy, delight, joyful (get why I'm using yellow hearts?)
Green (Jin Jin)- youth, healing power
Light Blue (Eunwoo)- Sorry I couldn't see below green 😓
Dark Blue (Rocky)-                        ''

Another part I really liked is that they used those colors in the individual rooms (and the symbols the colors were shown with). I also enjoyed how each room has a different theme.

Red (Moon Bin)- kitchen, cooking
Orange (MJ)- outside 
Yellow (Sanha 💛)- bedroom
Green (Jin Jin)- sports
Light Blue (Eunwoo)- bathroom?
Dark Blue (Rocky)- boxing or dance

Can I just say that Moon Bin acting like it's ok to blend popcorn at 2:12 had me dying because no, it's not ok to blend popcorn, but it was really cute and humorous. I also appreciated how they continued the soda theme from Breathless.

The choreography is crisp and spot on, in which we can't fully appreciate without the choreography video, which Fantagio kindly provided. The introduction dance is on point! My favorite part has to be at 3:08, it looks amazing and is kind of cute. The set they use for the video as well is absolutely gorgeous with that ceiling.

Anyway, I love Astro's comeback song, and it's probably their best song yet. I hope that you guys check out this group because they are amazing. I adore their fresh and sweet concept. I provided both the music video and choreography video for this song below, please check it out! Soo.... umm... 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...
