Hi B.A.P thread.

 

I think I'm starting to get into B.A.P and their music. I like Warrior and Power.

 

I really like staring at some of Himchan's pics. I find his face really captivating (although seeing some of his predebut pics makes me doubt it's all natural).but unfortunately that's like the only thing I really like about him. I'm not a fan of his voice which some fans really like.

 

Hello!! Oh gawsh your dp and signature are beautiful   Hehe I am a little read muchly obsessed with Jongup

This I like very much

 

 

 

Of course you do

I like to think he is taller than me, and I am 172cm.

 

But that's just wishful thinking lol

[A Cat On The Moon]

Aww lol 

 

 

I can't remember how he said it from the stream, but it took some time for him to form the words. It was cute 

 

 

We can be like Risa and Ootani

 

(i tried to find the gif of him standing on a higher step to kiss her lol)

Side B: Appreciating B.A.P’s Emotional Ballads

 

WRITTEN BY LINDSAY ON MAY 18, 2013

 

 

 

 

 

One of the top rookies of 2012, B.A.P impressed with their intense and masculine debut. After “Warrior†came “Power,†and then “No Mercy.†They became known as the hip-hop-influenced tough guys of the industry, but that didn't stop them from trying out a softer image as well.

 

Their next round of promotions, that included “Crash,†“Stop It,†and “Rain Sound,†generated criticism from many fans of B.A.P’s original tough image. Although these songs were seen as a huge image switch by some people, it wasn't actually the first time B.A.P had gone the more emotional route.

 

Despite their hard-core, full-on single tracks, B.A.P’s EPs have always include at least one ballad. Ballads are a tricky song style to pull off without getting overly dramatic or painfully boring, but the combination of emotional lyrics, catchy melodies, and B.A.P’s unique energy has helped their ballads stand out among the crowd. Each song is broken up by a rap section, which keeps the traditional ballad format from getting tedious, and with vocalists like Daehyun and Youngjae, it only makes sense that the group’s EPs would include some songs that showcase their specific talents. Without further ado, here are B.A.P’s ballad b-sides.

 

“Secret Love,†the ballad track off Warrior, is probably the best known of B.A.P’s slow songs as they’d delivered an unofficial MV for it on their debut TV show; the clip also featured Secret’s Jieun. The song is about being in love with someone but not being able to make your love known to the public. The Latin sounding acoustic guitar in the background gives the song an emotional feel that you don’t get from songs with a lot of heavy synth. Not only are the instrumentals enticing, the rapping and melodic singing also create a cohesive whole, which is important in a group that relies so heavily on rap members for their title tracks. Something about how the verses seamlessly shift into the chorus, and the background exclamation of “oh,†makes this song addictive as well as emotion-inducing.

 

 

 

“It’s All Lies,†from Power, is a particularly sensitive one, and a personal favorite of mine. The lyrics tell the story of a guy who wants to get back together with his past love. The song is a humble confession begging for a second chance, as he can’t seem to forget about her. From the lyrics, to the melody, to the vocal execution, this ballad ranks at the top of the list of emotionally expressive songs. The strong musical beat prior to the chorus hits right at the heart; what follows is the lilting composition of lyrics and Daehyun and Youngjae’s voices, which are enough to make the most stoic person cry (and does, if accounts of Daehyun singing this live are true). Although the instrumentals in this song are fairly typical of the ballad genre — guitar and slow drums — it’s how the singing is executed that makes this song special.

 

 

 

With lyrics of personal struggles, “Goodbye,†from No Mercy, comes from a slightly different place than most ballads. Despite having heartfelt, slow-paced, verses common of melodic ballads, the song clearly plays out as a rock ballad in the chorus. The lyrics talk about depression, sadness, and overcoming difficulties by never quitting. Overall, the song comes across as a little corny because of the dramatic piano that leads into the epic guitar and drums of the chorus, but the style of performance used for the singing and rapping helps maintain enough gravity for the song to be taken seriously. Although not a favorite of mine, it does have a good message and is worth a listen.

 

 

 

“What My Heart Tells Me To Do†is the most stereotypical of B.A.P’s ballads. Also off No Mercy, it sounds like it should be on the original soundtrack of a depressing TV drama. The song is about breaking up; the guy in question doesn't return the romantic feelings of this girl as he feels unworthy of her. If you’re a fan of K-pop ballads, then you’re likely to enjoy this song. Youngjae’s voice fits this style of song perfectly and he executes his solo moments with just the right amount of vibrato, and Daehyun carries the chorus with his powerful high notes. This tune would've stood on its own without the rap sections, but since this is B.A.P we are talking about, that simply isn’t an option. There isn't anything particularly innovative about “What My Heart Tells Me To Do,†but it’s performed perfectly and makes an excellent example of B.A.P’s vocal flexibilities.

 

 

 

“Happy Birthday,†off Stop It, is a one of those sickeningly sweet ballads about harmonious love, and nothing more. Basically a birthday love confession, this song is probably B.A.P’s most sappy b-side and requires the right mood to be appreciated. The melody is slow, sweet, and involves lots of background oooo-ing and ahhh-ing, as is expected from a romantic ballad. There is also the occasional random raindrop sound, which is the one part of the song they could have left out as it serves no purpose, distracting from the vocals in a negative way. It isn't an overly exciting track but it does its job of being feel-good. Also, who can resist Zelo’s kissy sound effects and mellower rap?

 

 

 

 

B.A.P has never been a one-trick pony, as these b-sides prove, and people shouldn’t expect them to be. Their execution of ballads, cute songs, and tough-guy tracks are all equally stellar and the group’s ability to be more than one-dimensional is an important strength in the K-pop industry. With rumors of their first full album bouncing around the internet, possibly accompanied with a new MV, I look forward to adding their newest ballad releases to this collection.

Time to revisit BAP's b-sides while we wait for more news of the boys and their next release. Good introduction to their ballads too for those who are new to BAP.

 

I agree with all of this. Oh god those raindrop sounds in Happy Birthday - I always think I have a fb notification or something when I hear it.

 

 

 

You would have written something similar too, won't you? So what's your favorite BAP b-sides ballad song? Mine would be Voicemail 

 

Mine is ...wait, what is Coma? I absolutely love that song. I'm not entirely sure what genre of song it is

 

 

 

Charley will also love Jongup's perky butt in the background lol

 

You know me too well

 

 

 

HOLY LORD  THAT'S RIGHT BOY,KEEP DOING THAT

 

 

mhm mhm

 

 

 

I voted for Zelo before i enter this thread. 

 

Hello Babys

 Our boys are having a day off! Look at MamaChan doting on his second youngest. 

 

His hair I can't

 

[A Cat On The Moon]

Himchan and Jongup are best used sparingly. It doesn't bother me that they don't get a lot of singing parts because they contribute to the group in other ways. One of the reasons that B.A.P is the best K-Pop band is because they're all very contrasting but yet perfectly cohesive and each member's best attributes are emphasized, while their weaknesses are covered by other members. Group chemistry and dynamic = win

 

 

I just want to hear my baby sing more :sad:

 

I was just watching through predebut videos to add to that thread and came across this again.

Charley  :sad:

I'm gone for a week

 

 

What. I did not allow this.

 

 

 

 

- Daehyun talk in Japanese 

 

- Himchan and Youngjae spoke Japanese the most

 

 

- Jong Up talked so little. he said ‘koe chichai’ means ‘your voice is little/low’

 

 

Oh this is not surprising really. I somewhat expected Channie to know the most Japanese.
