  1. um so i still have xukun's songs on my favorite on spotify and i still could play them a few days ago but today i tried it and i can't? they keep getting skipped. he still appears on the search too but when i click play it says it can't. does it also happen too for any of you?

     

    I think they're no longer available/delated, because when I found Kun on artists on spotify there are no songs (and I know there were available 'cause I 've listened to his songs there).

    If you've them on playlists they'll be on playlist but you won't be able to listen to them [but Wait Wait Wait and it's you are available if you've them on artist section - at least I can, but only those two - another two are on the list but not available to play]. It's strange because I'm sure all 4 of them were still available 24 hours ago :/ 

  2. Okay, I'm not a new fan, because I listen to their music for a while, but since I've started earning my own money and I can afford going for concerts from time to time, I want to go on the concert. So here is my question, I don't really know where to find answer, so I've decided to ask here, since google didn't help that much. 

     

    Has Perfume ever went on a world tour? I've found that they were performing in Taiwan and States, but according to google it was in 2014. But what about Europe or other Asian countries (excluding Japan)? Does anyone know or at least can help me find more information? In Europe many Japanese bands performed in past few years, so maybe they will also come.

  3. Wait, wait, wait [ - hah, that's my new fav joke right now ;) well done CXK] are they in Germany?! That's like 5h away by car from the place I'm right now. Jesus, that's the closest distance from them I'll ever be :D

    But still, even if I was in Hamburg right now I wouldn't go just to find them - I would just hope to hit on them by accident. I like them, but I feel like this is like stalking and stalking is wrong. I want them to enjoy being here and not have to deal with what they had to deal with in US.

  4. Yuehua announced  agreement with Tencent that Mei Qui and Xuan Yi will promote with both Rocket Girls and WJSN. Will that mean that we can sleep peacefully when it comes to 9% Yuehua line future and 9% full group activities and their individual?

  5. now i'm hoping they won't push the JuriSaku rivality hard here too because i'm saying such ridiculous things after the elections, poor girls, both of them 

     

    Yes, I agree. Especially that (I hope that the info that I found is correct) and Jurina won elections and Sakura was PD center...

     

     

    Some of you mind find it controversial, but I need to ask:

    was I the only one irritated at both Japanese contestants (excluding the girls that performed Celeb5 song, cause you can see that they put some effort to prepare and meet korean standard also I'm sorry for the girl who couldn't sing) for not at least basic checking the Korean idols reality (seriously, I think that it doesn't even require knowing korean or english, cause I'm sure they can find those info in japanese), also they mentioned that when korean idols go overseas they got recognised for great performances, and jugdes (excluding Hong Ki since he showed that he knows something about Japanese idols reality) expecting them to be on point, not knowing even a bit about AKB (Especially this, they expected Japanese contestant to be prepered and they didn't even did their job checking basic things about AKB, when they got a job it was already announced that AKB is participating) and generally being like 'omg, I can't speak japanese, why don't they speak korean instead' (sorry, but I just get this thoughts looking at some jugdes attitude).

  6. Random but I was checking the list of best selling albums in China out of curiosity and the sales are way lower than I expected (except for that Fei Xiang person with +20M but that was in 1986 lol).

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_in_China

     

    I'm surprised that for digital albums, the best selling so far is a Luhan's album from 2016 and it "only" sold 3.48M. For comparison, EXO or BTS can easily sell 4-5M of total downloads for an album. So I wonder where 9% debut album would place here. I'd say 800k-1M would be already a good number for a debut group.

     

    Music in SK is one of the 'cheapest' in world and also kpop is getting global. So I wouldn't be suprised if more than half of the sales of BTS are getting overseas. Also we should keep in mind that we have already well established market of idol culture in SK, while in China is not that big yet. If we want to compare something we should choose popular domestic solo artist/idol group (propably girl group that is popular in SK but not that big outside - APink maybe?) and also we should consider population, all downloading etc. of the country and then compare to something similar on the Chinese market. But I'm not sure that would give us results that we could 100% rely on.

     

    Also SK has 'cheap' music so people are not that much into illegaly downloads, but I'm not sure how that works in China.

  7. Well, these days I'm quite busy so I didn't have the time to follow this thread closely for about a week and I thought that I'll have a lot new content, but I'm kind of sad that all I got are new endorsements and some moments from fanmeeting. Seriously, I need an album. Or at least single. Or at least a confirmed date of the new release. I feel that I may not be able to wait longer before I loose my interest in a group and I feel sorry for that. 

    I watched an Idol show so I want to see new music, performances and (occasionally) variety shows. If I wanted to see endorsements models I would watch Top Model. I understand that endoresements are a huge deal for idols, but that's the only thing we get about them for now.

  8. Mansae Team 1 busker buskered The Avengers and Justice League is the biggest plot twist of last season Produce101. 

     

     

    The advantage of not having any popular member so people won't vote against you

     

    Produce is a weird show

     

    Well, Manse team 1 opponents were the least popular guys (and also almost all of them were in F after reevaluation) in the whole show, so even if their popularity was not the highest they got votes because their performance was much better.

    At this show it's really important how popular is your opponent.

     

    As for JL - their opponents team had Yoo SoenHo and Mino (before his scandal, he was quite popular)

    Avengers - their opponents had Kang Dong Ho and Lai Guan Lin (also many people pointed that this group suited the concept more than Avengers team).

  9. As a fellow hardcore Once since debut (and one who hugely favours the foreign line at that) I'm gonna have to stop you right there.

     

    Jurina sucks at singing but she is definitely better quite a few members of Twice even now.

     

    When do you think Twice members that aren't Jihyo/Nayeon (maybe Jungyeon) will do a true full solo acoustic performance (no heavy backing tracks) like Jurina did here a few years ago.

    https://vimeo.com/237294401

     

    Jurina's main issues are pitch, limited range and breath control but she's fairly stable and projects very well. In the PR vid you can hear her sing clearly and loudly with no proper mic-speaker assistance. If she was in Twice I'd place her somewhere around

     

    Jihyo >> Nayeon >>> Jungyeon (honestly hasn't impressed me yet) > Jurina/Chaeyoung/Tzuyu/Mina > Sana >>> Momo/Dahyun

     

    Mind you I'm giving a LOT of credit to ChaeMiTzu given that ever since SIXTEEN ended we don't have any true full live performances to judge them by, only a few lines at a time and very rarely without backing tracks. I'm honestly inclined to put Jurina a bit higher.

     

    Mina has nice range and pitch accuracy but sings too softly most of the time. When you CAN hear her she cracks her voice on high notes quite often as well.

    Chaeyoung raps most of the time and her few singing lines are usually very easy.

    Tzuyu is the most stable and similar to Jurina in that they both lack range but Tzuyu still needs to work on her confidence and lacks flair.

    Sana's below those three but above the last two

    Momo/Dahyun basically avoid singing without backing track when possible.

     

    If you've been a long enough fan like me you'd notice that besides Jihyo/Nayeon/Jungyeon the rest of Twice aren't exactly enthusiastic about singing with the mic during fansigns (they usually do a few lines and then pass the mic away) and in V-lives they usually sing very lightly (much easier to sound nice). During encores Jihyo Nayeon Jungyeon sing the majority of lines as well.

     

    I mean this is probably the truest acoustic cover of Twice singing we'll ever get

     

     

     

    I'd love to see that they've improved since but considering this is one of their latest encores I'm not holding my breath

     

     

     

    Besides 'It's just an encore they aren't trying' memes, I don't think you can deny my assessment isn't far off the mark.

     

     

     

    OMG It's my first time seeing Twice fan admitting that some girls can't sing. 

    I think you did really good job comparing Jurina vocals (I wouldn't have done it better). Maybe with the help of mentors on the program we will be able see her improving the parts she lack in :D

  10. I feel like once the show starts (if the editing will be done right, without evil-editing or not giving screentime) Jurina may become KimSeJeong (pd101s1) of this season. Both are well known for their personalities (which helped them become famous) + skills. Jurina is already well known in Japan so she will get the screentime (because the program is propably also airing in Japan) and Koreans may fall in love with her.

  11. Could only wish that they'd come to Europe 

     

    I don't see it. Most of kpop companies have an ocean instead of Europe on their maps when planning 'world tours' and I'm afraid their company might borrow maps from them.

     

    I'm happy seeing all those pictures from fanmeeting - finally we have some photos of all 9 members together. Hope everyone had fun and I'm glad I haven't seen any news of fainting fans or other complains, because I was afraid that their company might try to make money as much as possible and do the same thing that W1 company did like holding concert with bigger audience than capacity of place.
