Unless they're filming from their dorm only. I'm assuming they already filmed this (whatever it is) a while ago and are only releasing it now??? There was this mysterious picture of them a while ago in the snow... did we ever figure out what that was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal glow 6,196 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Can Source Music hire me or something. I CAN'T at the poor word choices. GFriend's MEMORIAL ... Really? ... Aside from that, it seems like a reality show or some kind of travel documentary(?) to me and it seems pretty fun. Looks like it'll be from when they were in the snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it always seems that soumu is really strict and careful about gfriend's image and branding (rightly so). However, I feel that having been around the industry for well over half a decade, and since they all seem very well-spoken, they are in a good position to use their voice - their songs and their words - to make a stand. idk just my thoughts. Spoiler It's a pretty big gamble for female celebrities to speak about important societal issues so I honestly don't know how I feel about that. Celebrities have a lot of influence and with so many eyes on them, it's easy for things to get taken out of proportion and misconstrued. People tend to be very unforgiving towards female celebrities as well. Not to mention, with speaking up about "bigger issues", there's no way to please everyone and opinions can be divisive. I guess ultimately, if it's something they are really passionate about and want to do, I'm all for it but I don't want to feel like they are obliged to do something.

Super happy they changed the title. And calling it Memoria is cute too because of their song~~~ I assume it will be subbed since their Youtube stuff has been uploaded with subs in recent times which is pretty cool. I kinda wonder how long this show will be because the Weverse announcement says it was filmed on January 28 and 29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal glow 6,196 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 1 hour ago, spopo said: I know it's early to speculate, but what are you guys hoping for for their summer comeback? I've been saying this for a long time so I probably sound like a broken record at this point (sorry guys haha) but I really want them to establish a mature, signature summer sound which I don't think they have done yet because they've been experimenting in summer for the past few summers now. The last 'GFRIEND' summer song felt like too long ago. I think something like Flower is what I'm referring to when I talk about a mature summer sound as opposed to another Navillera in different clothes. Flower is clearly a fun song appropriate for the warmer weather, yet it is sophisticated, colourful and beautiful. The song is also catchy and dance is pretty cool. Definitely sounds like a GFriend song. Alternatively, RetroFriend is always welcome SouMu... *hint hint* I sound like I'm asking of them to not "experiment" but what I really mean is, they can do new things but do it so amazing that you can see why it was done by GFriend, as if it was made for them. I think something like Fever missed the mark with that and Sunny Summer wasn't even trying to be that so I'll give it a pass for being the 'summer special' that it was intended to be (or a 'filler' comeback if you will since they were so busy that year). Like @sergel said, I think SouMu/their composers need to stop trying to recreate hit songs. Overuse of Iggy Youngbae was a complaint from some but MGT, Rough, Navillera, Fingertip, etc were all different enough imo. The only ones being similar were LW and SR which was fine considering the intentional parallels (I think it was pretty neat tbh). However, I feel the whole 'trying to recreate hits' thing is very obvious with Noh Joohwan/Lee Wonjong. TFTMN was a fresh, interesting direction for GFriend at the time and it worked. The melancholy, longing, hope and wistfulness was excellently done. It was definitely growth from Rough. Sunrise? Excellent vocals and cohesive with the storytelling but I think the fact that it was musically similar to TFTMN is obvious. For the sake of the storyline, it'll get a pass since it was done well in that aspect. [casual listeners and general public probably don't care about the story specifics though] But Crossroads? I love the song and I still listen to it heaps. The Labyrinth EP is one of their best work. I've always defended GFriend against "their songs all sound the same!" comments because I think it's simply not true, but Crossroads was the first time I really thought that the similarity was too much. When we heard an instrumental snippet of Crossroads from a music show preview, I could have sworn that they had played me a bit of the instrumental of Sunrise. I also feel the Moon/Sun/Stars connection is passable but it felt a bit like having a storyline for the sake of a storyline with not enough to stand out and be clearly differentiated from the others. GFriend's storytelling is part of their brand and it's excellent but I just think not everything needs to be connected or be a trilogy if it doesn't need to be. Let the storytelling do its thing without forcing it or dragging it out needlessly. This is not so much for their summer comeback anymore (sorry to go off topic), but my hope for their winter comeback is that they work with another composer. Save Noh and Lee for the b-sides and leave the lead single to someone else. They've explored similar melancholic vibes plenty if we're including their Japanese tracks and using the same composers consecutively inevitably causes an exhaustion of ideas from the composers' side. They are all great songs to me and I love them. But if I as a fan can see the similarity, the casual listener or general public who doesn't care to listen more than a couple times can as well. If they don't think it's as good as their other tracks of the same vibe and similar sound, they'll just simply not listen to it again (which is what I think Crossroads suffered, unfortunately). Anyways, thanks for reading my essay folks, some of which is not even relevant to a summer comeback oops. I disappear for weeeeks and return with ramblings 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal glow 6,196 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 2 hours ago, sergel said: I did like Labyrinth and think the team for the song was good though it did feel a bit intense so I wonder if they’ll go somewhere in the middle. Even love whisper was more jack swing so they haven’t had a Gfriend sounding summer song in a while. Perhaps they can save winter for new sounds and summer for classic Gfriend? I think this is an interesting suggestion and I would love to see it happen. I know lots of buddies adore the melancholic songs. I do as well. There isn't a single GFriend melancholic song that isn't my jam. I just think it has been explored by GFriend so many times in succession of each other, especially as lead singles and a change would be nice. It's not a bad thing for fans to 'miss' the vibe/sound a bit and it also gives SouMu and their composers time to think about how they can elevate and bring new things to their melancholic songs. I think a return to classic GFriend for the summer would be a welcome change and it would be cool to see what an experimental winter track would sound like 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal glow 6,196 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 About a Japanese comeback, they can't travel to promote it so I maybe it's better to save it for when the situation improves anyway. I do adore their Japanese discography just as much as their Korean one. Fallin' Light got such crappy promotion that I'm still so salty because it was a top tier album. Their Japanese management just sucks ass so bad ugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's honestly a shame that all the gems in their Japanese discography don't get nearly as much exposure and appreciation outside of a portion of the fandom. I don't even think some buddies care about Japanese stuff as much which is a bit unfortunate. At least we know the girls go through each day knowing they have a flawless discography regardless of language Edited April 29, 2020 by eternal glow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love their tracks for GFriend. I think their songs are well-aligned with GFriend's identity and musically, are total bops. I will never stop going on about how Flower Garden deserved to be a title track. Not necessarily instead of TFTMN because Miss TFTMN is timeless and I wouldn't trade her for anything, but Flower Garden should have seriously been saved for another time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously the post two would've been so good as a "spring" comeback as well. Now we're speaking buried treasures, I'm surprised no one mentioned Vacation. Is it just me or if they release a song like Vacation as their summer comeback would be lit? Like maybe cut down a little bit of the cutesy-ness, but with the vibe of it. The song itself is pretty much very "GFRIEND-esque" with a retro sound, but not all that similar, with memorable melody and catchy lyrics. They can have a fun and interactive choreo as well. Imagine that I remember the title track wars omg. Sounds dramatic but I swear, when GFriend have such a top tier discography I guess it's just inevitable to have healthy debates over what could have been. I personally loved TFTMN from first listen. Flower Garden just... deserved to be more than just a b-side I am also a Vacation enthusiast!!! I'm infamous for being a Sunny Summer hater in this thread Personally, I still believe Vacation should have been the title track and not Sunny Summer (and I literally never feel this way about any of their comebacks). No shade to SS. She's cute and all but Vacation was IT. The performances of Vacation from their concerts really sold the song for me even more. I love the bright coloured outfits and the fun dance. The members always look so happy performing it, especially Yuju Edited April 30, 2020 by eternal glow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But welp it turned out- Spoiler Idk about anyone else but I feel like Vacation sounds more like a S*STAR song than SS which is interesting considering the different composers But anyways, at least Vacation gets the love and appreciation that it deserves being performed in concert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
