The Unit- No Way

Ok, so I know I usually review new music videos, but I was thinking of doing a new thing where I talk about songs that I think are underrated. I plan on including songs that are not the title track of their album, songs from groups that I think are not really talked about, and songs like No Way that didn't win on survival shows. Now, onto No Way.

Personally, this was my favorite song from the Unit. I honestly continue to listen to this song religiously. What really moves me about the song is like emotion that I get from it. I feel like everyone really poured their heart into this performance. The vocals are just so powerful and emotional for me and I didn't really get this feeling from the other performances. This is probably because all of the other songs had more hype, cute, tough, or cool concepts, while this one was definitely more emotional and angsty.

I really think that the guys in this group really did a good job with this song, and it makes me kind of upset that they got last place. First off, this song was perfect for this group's vocals, and the range that they had. Kanto and Suwoong were able to hit those low notes, Timoteo in the middle, and Jeup and Taeho with those high notes creating these gorgeous harmonies in the end of the song. Also throughout the song, all of their vocals really shined. What I found really interesting (and I LOVED) was that all of their voices are really distinct and you can tell who is singing each part. Overall, the unique voices and varying vocal ranges was something that this song was able to provide which made it absolutely fantastic, and my personal favorite.

So, why did such an amazing performance get such a low ranking. Personally I think it is because they had the least amount of members and many of them weren't really high ranked. Like if you look, no one in this group made it into UNB, (which I'm kind of salty about because I REALLY wanted Jeup to get in. He was my favorite person in the competition.) Thus, I think that despite a spectacular performance this song was ranked lower than the others due to the lack of number and popularity of the members. For me, it makes me kind of disappointed because these guys are so talented and just, like, delivered with this performance.

Anyway, I heavily recommend this song. I put it below, so please check it out. I swear it's amazing and definitely worth the 3:55 minutes it takes to watch. 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...
