Aespa's comeback was delayed bc the title track was about planting trees. The song contained lyrics like "just sustainability" "1 degree lower" "greenism." The Aespa members were distressed and the co-CEO agreed that the song should be cancelled.
well if this keeps getting likes i would just like to add... wasuta is a 4 member jpop girl group with a cute catgirl concept and rlly good music & their album wareware wa neko de aru is releasing on 8/17!
that tweet about why kpop stans avoid getting into jpop groups... i feel like it has to do a bit with jpop twitter like some ppl can be so grumpy or gatekeepy for no reason on here ๐ญ it's just not the same as kpop stan twitter
wasuta's new music video is so perfect ๐ญ the school uniforms, shoujo manga plot with japanese historical figures, schoolgirl nyakotan... this is peak wasuta!

most kpop group jpop releases are just objectively bad bcuz their companies don't care about their japanese promotions as much as their korean ones... like this isn't even me being a hater
The recent surge of K-Pop fans into J-Pop spaces has been interesting. Projecting K-Pop structure onto companies like Avex is kind of the reverse of stans projecting American industry structure onto K-Pop companies...
the more i think about it the more funny it is to me that random chika idols could have like 100 intl fans on here meanwhile groups that are fairly popular in japan will have like none

and a lot of the time there isn't the same structure of update accounts to help new fans get into a group? depending on what side of jidol twitter ur on it can feel a little scattered or inaccessible regardless of if content is on sns/streaming platforms or not...
a thing I find extremely cool about Chappell Roan is that she's blowing up in large part because she built a hot live show full of fun songs built with audience participation in mind, every bit of footage makes more people feel like they NEED to see her - it's so old school!
shh - after school
and no one has done it like them since. i could really inundate this list with songs from dress to kill, but iโll be nice to other groups
