I like ADTOY. I like Take Off too. 

 

Also, can yall stop using this gif please?

It's ugly and yall use it so much. Whoever made it should be castrated, because I'm pretty sure it was a male Britney stan who doesn't understand the concept of ripping a video from the internet. Still living in 2003 I see, along with her career. 

 

Another thing, don't you think it's weird that it's called a re-lease? Like a lease is something you sign to own something for a while, so like a release should be re-signing the lease right? And then! If you mean like to let go, release, then that's silly because it should be unlease right? It's pretty weird, I think they should be a different words altogether.

Recent 2pm has done more stuff with Japan than old 2pm, and their selling point is their beastly image there so I love their Japanese stuff.

I'm Your Man<3

 

Yes I'm Your Man and Without You are great. The Japanese stuff they did this year is really bad though. It's weird because when they're shitty in Korea, they're great in Japan. When they're great in Korea, they're shitty in Japan.

I loved Winter Games and Give Me Love and the B sides Falling in Love & Just Stay and I can name so many songs on Legend of 2pm that I love.

re: re-

a prefix, occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, used with the meaning “again†or “again and again†to indicate repetition, or with the meaning “back†or “backward†to indicate withdrawal or backward motion: regenerate; refurbish; retype; retrace; revert.

Also, red-.

Origin:

Middle English < Latin re-, red-

 

re: release

Origin:

1250–1300; (v.) Middle English reles ( s ) en < Old French relesser, relaissier < Latin relaxÄre to loosen (see relax); (noun) Middle English reles ( e ) < Old French reles, relais, derivative of relesser, relaisser

 

re: relax

Origin:

1350–1400; Middle English relaxen < Latin relaxÄre to stretch out again, loosen, equivalent to re- re- + laxÄre to loosen, derivative of laxus slack, lax

 

re: lease

Origin:

1350–1400; Middle English les < Anglo-French (equivalent to Old French lais, French legs legacy), noun derivative of lesser to lease, literally, let go (equivalent to Old French laissier ) < Latin laxÄre to release, let go. See lax

 

TLDR: release is derived from relax, rather than directly to re+lease, but relax is related to release.

Legend of 2PM, apart from the title songs is a lacking album. Give Me Love and Masquerade, as Japanese releases, are the cream of the crop for me. Grown was a quality album, but lacked tracks as compelling as ADTOY. In that sense, their previous Korean albums are best.

 

I would say Japanese for the title tracks and Korean for the rest.

In terms of title songs, I've liked most of their Japanese singles, and about half of their Korean title songs. In terms of album tracks, I'd say it's pretty much a tie.

 

Some of their Japanese songs though are some of the greatest material 2pm has put out imo. I do like the fact they get more opportunities to experiment and release their compositions in Japan.

Depends on my mood, mostly! They tend to have very different vibes between their Korean songs and Japanese songs.

 

I usually lean towards their Japanese releases, but Grown and Legend of 2PM ended up about even for me.
