Finally finish the album I can get to bathroom now... LOL

I like Stairs in the North better than I thought I would

Tarot Cards is far more brighter than I thought it'd be, kinda like Labyrinth situation? 🤣

random thought but Stairs in the North sounds a little like a Fearless era Taylor Swift song and creme brulee's production reminds me of n*t 127 collaboration with marteen called What We Talkin' About

Ikr SITN reminds me of enchanted (not fearless era but anyway). Also sounds a bit like Avril Lavigne’s early works/00s Taiwanese pop songs. The highlight medley really didn’t do it justice. Glad that we already heard it live.

I’m still trying to understand how melon now works.

Basically a daily chart but updated every hour

E.g. 13/7 22KST reflects UL from 12/7 22KST to 13/7 22KST

So what do we all think about BH vs MBC/mucore?  It's been a little difficult to splice what happened, but we all know that GF was blocked from the gayo last year (probably bc of BTS and their new year's conflict, but I guess it could be something else), and since then haven't appeared on MuCore.  Do we think that BH is keeping their artists from mucore to punish MBC for blocking them from the gayo?  I'm a little bummed because it's my favorite music show, but at the same time, if this is the case I like that BH is standing up for the girls not being invited... like, if you don't want our artists to perform then none of them will.

Alternatively, since they do other MBC stuff, do you think there's something that happened more personally with the mucore producer that we don't know about?

 

Spoiler

I read somewhere that MBC said they invited S*v*nt**n several times but got rejected, so maybe it's BH who doesn't want their artists to perform there? The girls are still on Weekly Idol so I guess they're cool with MBC, just not with the MuCore director.

not so surprised by fingertip since LW and fingertip are my fave choreos from them hehe

but yes didnt think fever and crossroads would be above rough o.o

Rough's choreo is actually the ONLY choreo I fully learnt and remember from all of the title songs. Yes, it looks difficult but it's easier to remember than the others actually because it doesn't have many details, such as fingers and leg movements etc. 

I think it's harder than crossroads tho but I'm no pro so-

From the names, I think the subunits will likely to be slow songs? But not necessarily with the negative moods. And Night Drive sounds like giving a nostalgic soothing music? Something that Yujuna is likely to sing?

My bet is Secret Diary by Yerin and SinB will be something like Show Up in Time For Us, maybe a little less upbeat, not exactly chill but give a sense of "coolness" (for Yerin) and aloof (for SinB lol)

Better Me may actually be the surprise here, since from the song title we'd expect sth ballad-sy or slow, but it's produced by 13 which usually writes fast tempo songs for GFriend, maybe a chic song with a little rap here and there?

For Night Drive by Eunha and Yuju, from the name I immediately think of Yuju's Love Rain, so probably a slow-mid tempo R&B jam like that. But my bet (& personal hope) is on sth city pop, and they have the vocals for a more mature song like that too (oml imagine if they really do that I'll be dead)

And I'm ready to get them all wrong 😂😂

I bet you that’s all we’ll hear in the highlight medley too 😅

I think so too lol i mean if they show another part in the song, they’ll be spoiling over 45s of the song which is a lil too much tbh i can listen to that “mago mago” part forever anyway😂

we’ll maybe get another short part of instrumental in the highlight medley

4 hrs to go!!!! So hyped omg

I think so too but as I heard multiple time the pronunciation doesn't seems like waiting cause I kinda heard letter L in that word

My life is bleeding for you is kinda... concerning ya know 😂😂 

But I do think that the production (generally in kpop) makes it hard to listen to the lyrics

yes i agree!! it's refreshing to see how SouMu & BH invest in new ways to push Gfriend when one way doesn't work out best, rather than letting go, esp in favour of all the new groups coming aboard their labels in the coming year! and yep pretty sure we're on the same point hahah i guess i was just coming in from more of a - damn imagine if Gfriend had this kind of a push earlier on - angle.

having said that SouMu has always done everything they could and at the girls' best interests so i would never discredit that; i guess that's what makes Gfriend all the more special, how they managed to survive this long being the sole breadwinner of a once unknown company 🌟

it feels so surreal that we are getting Mago and Walpurgis Night at last aahhhh

Spoiler

Speaking of management, I think I'll be forever salty over the saying that fingertip was a "mismanagement" and that the girls shouldn't release it blablabla... I mean, if fingertip came out this year/even 2019, I believe it surely would become a hit. At least they had a comeback for digital charts for TFTMN, which shown that they are able to. Being a fan from Rough era (little bit TMI here, literally my first time hearing from them was Rough MV teaser... and I was immediately drawn to them to this day...) I'm glad the girls have found their way to get more involvement not just in composing/songwriting, but in the album production in general. Honestly we hear a lot from them saying that they want to be a long-lasting group rather than a top group. While I do believe they mean this, I don't think that anyone who went through a "peak" like them (arguably one of the largest in KPOP) can just throw this away like they don't care about it at all. I feel like the lyrics in Stairs in the North kinda relate to this. I guess as the girls are going through the contract renewing period now, this may be some uncertain time for us even tho I have confident they'll all resign. Just a little bit sentiment before their 3rd album is out. Hope this is not imposing any negative impression.

less than 16 hrs to go!! Can't believe we're getting a full album today:la:

Was anyone else worried people, especially Koreans, would judge Gfriend food the pole dance? The stigma around it worried me. It's perfect tho and Yuju slayed. 

 

Spoiler

Anyone who judge her is just because their butts are hurt from MS Yuju Choi’s long leg kick when she swings  on that pole.

On a serious note, yeh a little bit but it isn’t really really explicit so i think it’ll be fine.

Just a little bit thought after listening to MAGO a day. I may have gone a little overboard tho.

Spoiler

Okay after listening to MAGO like a thousand times, I've been thinking about the "nostalgia" that people are talking about. MAGO is definitely different from anything they had done before, but it somehow embodies their element of being melancholy while upbeat. They did it with TFTMN and Sunrise. But even Rough, its BPM is not slow at all and with quite strong drumbeats too. Look at the lyrics, it's kinda empowering but also give me the sense of "dance all night long to get rid of the sorrows, despairs and regrets even just for a while". The contrast between the brightness in the melodies and those minors which gives out the darkness in background synth especially in the chorus is interesting, it literally screams "apocalypsis disco" to me every time the chorus comes in.

Also, the bridge by Sinb and the Yeju/Leadmak part of "I'll fly on the bloom, look at me" "We can dance in this moonlight again, come with me" in pre-choruses resemble their earlier releases not in terms of musicality but lyrics, if you think about it, almost all bridges GF's single are yearning for answers or confessing their love with much passion. Except that this time they are not asking somebody else but themselves, it's like they're trying to comfort themselves "I'll be ok even if something bad happen".

And listening to the teaser I already thought of how they are gonna put the two hooks together because they are practically two choruses: My life is waiting for you... and Mago Mago. But they somehow manage to do that and it turns out amazing. Only the ending is a little abrupt to me but overall I haven't fallen THIS hard for their titles immediately since like Navillera. I've been playing it non-stop even as I wrote all these bullsh*t.

And for the Bighit concert

Spoiler

Bighit really says "go home, pack your things and get rekt, MBC" lol I love these shady business tactics they do.

Mago is #26 on melon 😭 correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this our song  peak since this new UL system? I don't remember Apple being this high. 

I think #26 is the old system (realtime) which is not shown on Melon anymore but you can find the data on www.kpopchart.kr. Both Apple and Mago debuted #11 in old system but then Apple fell off top 40 after a few hours while Mago stayed in top 20 until 9AM/10AM KST on the second day and then rose back to top 30 at night. So we can say that Mago is doing better than Apple so far. But in the Melon new system (counting UL) I think the two songs do more or less the same staying around 60/70.

I use kpopcharts and it was showing #26. I didn’t see any other chart for Melon so I assumed it was the 24UL huuum 🤔

Anyway like others said regardless chart positions, MAGO's status remained unbothered. And one thing I really like about buddies is they are chill with charts and numbers which does not make each other feel stressful at all

I know the girls have always been praised with their dance but the CRAZINESS in this video is just out-of-the-world level.

Their positions kinda didn't match but still synchronized while BLINDFOLDED and the way that 99% of their shadows matched after taking the eye mask off. OMG:omg::omg:

Thank God for these fancams because i needed a clearer look at that dance break !! 

Once again im amazed at how fast they re-arranged both Apple's and the dance break's formations (like with Mago and Eunha's sitting out) especially since it seems that Umji rehearsed this entire performance with them before having to drop out 

Never understand the camera works in these year-end performances... Anyway hope for MAGO in SBS's gayo.

And also they need to release a rock version of Apple on streaming platform!!! It's so good.

I would probably replace Fever with GRWM tho....... (although it fits so perfectly in Walpurgis Night lmao)

I wonder what made them chose Fever over GRWM tho... I mean Fever is not bad but it does sound a little bit 2016-ish. Sure, GRWM is BOLD but also it's fresh enough if they were going for a new concept in summer
