  1. I'm going to ignore the fact that Uptown Funk in general brings back some unwelcome memories for us Moomoos, and say that that Fantastic Duo performance was incredibly enjoyable! Loved that they added UOAY in the end! And the other singer was incredible as well! They looked so adorable in those 1 cm reminiscent outfits. Another fun live performance to add to my Mamamoo list now ahmagahplz.png

     

    Also, the revamped OP looks amazing!!! The graphics are so pretty and the whole aesthetic is really nice. Really appreciate all the effort it must've taken, Thunderbae!

  2. My very short 2 cents on the book issue

     

     

    I am not for it. Mainly because apart from being a bit preachy, it can become a potential disaster as well. Translations being the most obvious pitfall. Also what is defined as appropriation. Who are the people trying to educate mamamoo, and is thier view the only view? Case in point - the bindi/hindu culture ruckus. What all are we even trying to educate them about? There are innumerable cultures out there with innumerable rules. We ourselves wouldn't know half the stuff then how are we qualified to make such a book?

     

    I have many other arguments against this initiative, a lot have been covered by previous opinions.

     

    Yes maybe more background on black/brown face and that earlier mv issue is something we could write on for RBW to consider and also the girls.

     

    But this compendium thing doesn't sit well with me.

     

    And if it is done, it will need a lot of peer regulation and review before we send it across.

     

     

     

    Am loving the black outfits this time. It's so different from the colorful tone of the general comeback that it makes for a nice change.

     

    Also am probably late to this but just caught up with mamamoos Hongkira appearance. Loved how they couldn't control thier laughter at the parts when Hongki burst out laughing. Especially hwasa in the Azegag performance. At this point I should be used to it, but I'm always in wonder of how watching them in any format brightens up my day considerably. I wish these promotions could go on forever :rlytearpls:

  3. These rants feel like they come from all of moomoos! Every word is true.

     

     

    This was such an anticipated comeback for us all. And instead of leaving us in peace to enjoy it and support our girls, we have these annoying trolls littering forums twitter and whatnot with thier nonsense.

     

    I'm especially done with people going 'mamamoo is cancelled'. Um, ok. I didn't know the universe gave you the power to cancel them. Like if you said this then everyone will agree and run away from Mamamoo *massive eye roll*

     

    Since they obviously cannot trash the obvious talent in the songs, more lame arguments crop up including that the song is not thier style, and that it's boring and a fail compared to competing groups. I find it hilarious and also a bit pathetic that these people have the time and energy to seek out the MVs only to hate on whatever they can.

     

    And when all fails, the broken record of 'problematic' plays on. Which at this point is not even worth commenting on because while if Mamamoo so much as breathe it becomes a racist thing to do; I'm noticing the same standards dont apply to other groups and performers. Who have been blatantly much more problematic that four girl who have apologised multiple times for thier ignorance.

     

    Though I'm used to malicious people coming after my faves, with the other group I follow having tons... I just feel so angry that people try to discredit genuine talent and hardwork with stupid baseless and shallow arguments.

     

    Why can't we just enjoy good music in peace. Or atleast let us enjoy it.

     

    I've been staying away from most of OH too because the odd troll is so tempting to reply to instead of just moving on. And feeding trolls is the last thing I want to do.

     

     

    Hoping this mindless negativity dies down once Mamamoo stops promotions, and we can all go back to what we came here for - the joy of music and our amazing beagles.

     

    On a happier note - I'm hoping this weekly idol appearance will include the 2x dance section that they do. I've been wanting them to do this for a while! Oh and also the new mamamoo song medley. That would be gold. :lub:

  4. Sooo, this is Wheepup coming home for dinner right?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VBBhbjs4e8

     

     

    I have this thought every damn time I see this video help me

     

     

     

    OMG, I cannot unsee the wheepup comparison now :cry: :cry:. This has to be the cutest thing I've seen in a while! 

     

    I've been missing all the Mamamoo live stages and music show wins because of travelling, but yay to our four wins!!! (and the many more that are sure to come). 

     

    And I'm so happy to see the adlibs in the performances already. Mamamoo never dissapoints :chu:

  5. My 2nd gen official MooMoo box is finally about to be shipped: ship standby - yay - !

    It has been already 98 years. I hope I get the box before I go away for a week or so.

     

     

    Unpopular opinion: In my opinion it's so wrong for us intl. fans to "mess" with the korean charts. I mean aren't those charts the koreans are supposed to "love"? If we vote or something like that, we (all fandoms) are practically manipulating the charts in what "we" think they should be listening to. I don't see koreans messing with our charts. Also why are YT needed for shows? Those who have a larger fancrowd internationally have an advantage, those with smaller intl. fans get belittled..

     

     

    Anyways, back to streaming MV and song .. damn I am exhausted .. I slept daily only 3 hours .. and it has only been 3 days since release. I hope this effort isn't left unnoticed and they atleast get a few wins. Those who didn't vote yet, pls vote. Thank you.

    I guess it is simply impossible to have segregated audiences and not influence the industry of different countries when everything is online these days. People have easy access to music and its sales. Plus companies would also not mind more intl participation at all levels because it means more profits.

     

    While in some way what you are saying is correct,considering the hallyu wave, and international exposure of kpop, it may not be practically possible or desirable to restrict participation.

     

    Also, the fact that all groups have international fans trying to win them music shows and such, so why not us?

     

     

    The starting of these fansign/ fan event updates always makes me so jealous. And now im even jealous of this adorable sounding granny :rlytearpls:

     

    Also looking at the way the girls are cycling through the outfits in the mv, can we possibly hope for a stage with the moosical outfits? I may not survive it, but it would be so good :lub:

  6. The day they drop the mv just had to collide with the day I have crazy amount of work in office!

     

    Took me so long to finally reach home and see the MV that I thought I'd go crazy in the process of waiting! Ugh.

     

    A couple of things before I spazz out. Because I was late to the Azegag party (*sob*) I didn't see the original video. Only saw the comments on yet another issue in a mamamoo mv.

    Considering how crazy some people were going on this 'bindi' thing, i thought it was some big deal.

     

    Though I've only seen photos of the deleted parts and hence I may be missing out on some crucial info that should make me feel bad, here is my two cents.

     

    Im a hindu and an Indian. That scene was cute. Bindis are not the sole property of Hindu culture. They are not religious symbols,but cultural only. They are worn by non Indians and non Hindus in India as well. And if those people get a free pass while in my freaking country to wear bindis, mamamoo should too. I personally don't find this offensive. If anything, I find this whole 'controversy' stupid (and a bit ignorant on the part of those people who are suddenly defending Indian culture. Wish they stood up when other groups/races/countries were actually appropriating or making fun of it. Yes appu from simpsons, I'm looking at you. )

     

    So yeah now that that is done, back to more important things.

     

    Literally how cute was that mv!! The whole premise fit so well with the video. Loved the dorky dancing shots in the middle. And holy shit but Hwasa looks like another level of amazing altogether! I think I will have to watch this mv atleast ten more times before I can fully appreciate it!

     

    Hope this stupid issue dies down and stops raining on our parade and we can get on with more important things like streaming this lit mv, and trying to stay sane when the album releases tommorow :ahmagah:

  7. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMAMOO!!!

     

    Three years of awesome music, touching sweet funny dorky and iconic moments, and having four absolutely amazing ladies to stan! I thank my lucky stars for the day I discovered Mamamoo, and hope for many many more years together with them QRLGYBO.png QRLGYBO.png QRLGYBO.png

     



    Since it's Mamamoo day, can I ask you guys since when you started to stan Mamamoo, what's your favourite song of them so far and why have you been hooked ? I want to learn more about my fellow Moomoos ilikeitplz.png

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I first got to know of Mamamoo in their UOAY era. But I was put off by their name and assumed that they were another generic cutesy girl group, so I didnt bother checking them out *shamefaced*. That was such a mistake because I missed out so much time based on my stupid assumptionrlytearpls.png

     

    Anyway, then I came across this youtube video of someone analysing YTB (don't remember the name). I clicked out of boredom, and in like ten seconds Solar had me going amgplz.png ahmagahplz.png fD4JAZe.png  followed by Hwasa.  By the time the song in that analysis video was over, I was rushing over to find the MV. Then rewatched the MV till I fell in love with everyone, their voices and the rapping, and everything about the song. Proceeded to watch and fall in love with other MVs. 

     

    But the conversion from appreciate listener and Solar fan to full fledged extremely dedicated Moomoo happened when I came across their first IS2 performance for me - Wonderful Confession. Literally no looking back after that and other jaw dropping IS2 performances were watched and rewatched and rewatched to death. (still rewatched regularly tbh)

     

    My favourite song is Your the Best so far, only because it was the very first song I heard. But seriously depending on my mood the list keeps changing, Every Mamamoo song is so listenable and loveable that its hard to have just one favourite.

     

    Why have I been hooked? because where else will I find such girl crushes who are also absolute dorks and aren't afraid to be themselves with heaps of talent to boot. Oh and the heavenly voices which slay me everytime I hear them (even when they sing about dad jokes, or their heights or whatever else. They could sing about the telephone directory and I would happily listen tbh.) And did I mention the fact that I never get bored of their concepts, and love that they take the risk to experiment and change their style and music every comeback. So yeah until I find another group at par with them (which lets be real is pretty much impossible), Mamamoo is a forever love affair for me deepstareplz.png

     

    Edit: Forgot to mention all you fellow Moomoos, who are as awesome as Mamamoo is. The fact that our fandom is a bunch of chill, funny and creative people is amazingly effective in keeping me hooked on to Mamamoo as well :D

     

     

     

     

    Lol, I now realise I've gone on a bit of a Mamamoo fan girling session. Putting my answer under a spoiler to keep things clean.

  8. My friend, you know I live far from India ... but I always order from YesAsia. I never had problems with them before, they all arrived safely, well packaged in bubblewrap but if you use free shipping it could take 1-4 weeks til the CDs arrive. So if you can wait, then I'd say..go for it. Posters are usually sent separately in tubes..atleast it was the case with my last order from them *cough* SNSD *cough*

     

    No, I was talking about the person who asked here in the thread where to buy the albums at.

    NOT that chendrella twitter person. Sorry if I was unclear.

     

     

    I live on the other side of the ocean lol but I do use YesAsia for most of my album purchases and I've never had any problems with them losing my package or anything! Yesasia is weird in a way that my package can arrive really fast like 2 weeks (which is a rarity) and other time it takes 3-4 weeks (normal) . I think sometimes they just pick and see which one to sent the fastest lol. My packages are always tracked and I use free shipping because I usually order all my bias groups albums together.

     

    Edit: Posters arrived separately and usually later

     

    Thank you for your inputs! The waiting thing sucks, but I'll bear it for the sake of getting both the versions of the albums with posters. Off to order!

  9. Hey, need a little help fellow Moomoos!

     

    Am planning to preorder both the albums on YesAsia (since they are offering free shipping to India which is a rarityrlytearpls.png )

    So I wanted feedback from anyone who has used YesAsia, would be great if its somewhere near/in India. How long did it take? And did the stuff arrive safely?

     

    Hoping I get a positive reply on this and can order asap! 

  10. I'm getting even more and more confused with each passing teaser/trailer. Literally don't know what direction the title song or for that matter the whole album will finally take. And all the theories of its a different video and different song, or not the actual song at all confuse me more!! Guess ill just reserve any opinion till the 22nd.

     

    But they all look and sound (wherever singing) fabulous so that helps.

     

    And those album covers are awesome! I am so tempted to buy both (goodbye all my hard earned money :rlytearpls: )

     

    ps- Moonbyul and Seulgi are so cute, they legit need their own badge at OH!!

  11. Im speechless after that trailer. They weren't kidding when they said different. As someone who enjoys edm a fair amount this will be right up my alley!

     

    But omfg that felt more like a classy commercial that a teaser! Mamamoo serving so many aesthetic and gorgeous shots in 23 seconds :ahmagah: :ahmagah:

     

    Seriously they go from goofy and witty in Azegag to plain stunning in this teaser...I can't even fD4JAZe.png

  12. Like many here have said, I'm happy getting good music from Mamamoo and not getting caught up in the hourly/daily chart wars as long as they improve their fanbase and achievements over their last releases. I have faith in Mamamoo and Moomoos to hope that we will hold our own against other groups.

     

    On a different note, Moonbyul looks gorgeous in Deep Blue Eyes poster/album cover/whatever it is :lub:

     

    idontthinksobetchplz.png soooooooooooooo like 1 hour and half ago...that little thing appeared

     

    DCL7x-KU0AADd1h.jpg

     

     

     

    idontthinksobetchplz.pngidontthinksobetchplz.png and now there is a Purple Playlist with that little thing again

     

    DCMLRY3VYAAQzkt.jpg

     

    rlytearpls.pngrlytearpls.pngrlytearpls.png

     

    will we have a new teaser today?????

     

    what is it??? ahmagahplz.pngahmagahplz.pngahmagahplz.pngahmagahplz.png

     

    I am going crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

     

     

    Omg! New teaser please!!! or the whole Azegag song +MV..the possibilities that I'm imagining now! :cry: RBW please deliver!!

  13. Tracklist looks promising, even though its only five songs. I was a bit disappointed at first especially when I saw Wheein's collab on the list as well, but then there are still three whole new songs!! (counting Azegag which I will count as new till I hear the full version in all its proper glory jCQ9zCm.png ) 

     

    Considering this is a mini album, and we get an Immortal Songs performance as well as numerous live stages to deal with over this month and hopefully much of the next...am a much happier and excited Moomoo now.

     

    On a much shallower note, If nothing else I would purchase the album just to own all that purple prettiness deepstareplz.png

  14. Ok, all the gorgeous purple is too much to handle! My favourite color and my favourite girls with that gorgeous styling....brain is melting!! Kudos to the stylist and the people behind the shoot.

     

    And I don't know what it is but this time Moonbyul is seriously stealing all my attention (sorry Solar, I'm trying to stay loyal but it's hard!) Love her rap in Azegag (especially when she says 'respect'. I don't know what it is but she sounds so cool and I do a mini internal squeal everytime i hear it) , the blue hair and just generally... I'm in absolute love with her this time :lub:
