NiZiU Deep Dive #1/3: A 3 AM Review By A K-pop Fan And Her Friend
NiZiU is one of those groups that toe the line between kpop and J-pop, being a Japanese girl group under a Korean company, like JYP’s Japanese version of WayV. They mostly release Japanese music, but have done music in Korean too. They have nine members: Mako, Rio, Riku, Maya, Ayaka, Mayuka, Rima, Miihi, and Nina,…

Chung Ha Deep Dive #2/2: Why Don’t You Know Her?
Here are my credentials (again): I’d consider myself a casual fan of Chung Ha, who I know mainly through her friend Sunmi. I’ve heard a decent amount of her title tracks, and a few b-sides, but I’m looking forward to hearing more of her songs and forming a more accurate opinion of her work as…

BG Solo Ranking #5: Who’s The Best?
(Featuring Eunhyuk, G-Dragon, RM, Eric Nam, and Kangta) This time, I thought I would try something different on the blog. Instead of doing a deep dive into one group, I’m doing shallow dives into a bunch of soloists and their first mini albums, then comparing and contrasting. This time is male soloists, from Super Junior…

Lucy Deep Dive #2/2: A Kpop Fan And Her Dad Review K-pop…With A Violin?
Here are my credentials (again): Uh…very few, I’m afraid. Lucy caught my eye in a compilation video (or rather, the violin did), and I decided to check out their music. I know a few title tracks, but very few of their b-sides, and very little about the members themselves, so I’m looking forward to learning…

Cherry Bullet Deep Dive: A Retrospective From A Non-Fan
Cherry Bullet was created by FNC Entertainment in 2019, which means that (at time of writing), it’s about to be their sixth anniversary. They originally had ten members: May, Chaerin, Yuju, Haeyoon, Jiwon, Bora, Remi, Mirae, Kokoro, and Linlin, but the last three left due to various personal reasons soon after debut. The group disbanded…

QWER Deep Dive: Fresh Faces Or Fake Idols?
QWER are truly fifth generation, having debuted in late 2023 under Tamago Production. They’re a band with four members: guitarist Siyeon, keyboardist Hina, bassist Magenta, and drummer Chodan; all of them sing, and all were somewhat in the public eye before this, two being Twitch streamers, one being a J-pop idol, and one being a…

Married To The Music’s Gallery (Page SEVEN)
November 11th 2024 –> January 25th 2025 (See all Gallery Pages) In “honor” of the blog being a year old, I’ve decided to do these little roundups every so often, starting in September of last year. Here are my Top 2 songs of every artist I covered from November 11th 2024 to January 25th 2025,…

BoA Deep Dive #3/3: The Queen Of K-pop, 25 Years On
Here are my credentials (once again): Somewhat shockingly for someone who’s been a k-pop fan for going on six years now, I’ve never sat down and listened to BoA’s discography. So, I figured that, now, on the 25th anniversary of her debut, was as good a time as any. Let’s get into it! (Also, important…

BoA Deep Dive #1/3: The Queen Of K-pop, 25 Years On
BoA (whose real name is Kwon Bo Ah) is truly one of a kind in the k-pop industry. I’m not the first, or even the 100th, to call her the Queen Of Kpop; since her debut in 2000 at the age of thirteen, she’s never really left the hearts and minds of the Korean and…

What’s My Dream Job?
I’m guessing that a lot of people are going to guess I’d say something to do with music—-singer, blogger, reviewer, etc—considering how I currently spend a lot of my free time. But they’d be wrong. It’s true I’ve always loved music, and if I had to spend a day without listening to it, I might…
