Apparently a random radio station wanted to do a "Kpop hour" but some BTS fans read it as other Kpop groups trying to ride the coattails of BTS's success, so they basically harassed the radio station to stop it from happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katsu curry chips 7,808 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 *waste swathes* ROFL Btw, Koreaboo writes about Sexy Zone's Sato Shori. Bandwagon or not? Or was it simply because SZ are in Fuller House? (Though the 'star' in the show is Marius, not Shori). HAHA! that was an oversight on my part but my point still stands somehow yea tbh usually i'd disregard it as a rogue fangirl allowed to do a minor fluff piece because Kboo is notorious for their click bait "journalism" so they'd usually count on a fair amount of traffic. but shori IS really cute, and has a kpop look to him (which is key - + we all know kpop fans love receipts like that... recently a certain top group was featured for like 5 min (?) on a hit cable show's episode soundtrack and everyone's going on about how they're *next level*. i remember when teen top (RIP) was featured in the soundtrack of a minor movie a few years back and everyone went apeshit. so yea it's totally a calculated move on their part. and i'm sure it'll bring some clicks in.

Sana Muñequita Linda 2,566 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Agreed. Kpop is a revolving door where masses of fans come and leave in a moments notice hence the constant bragging and quarrels online. The high turnover rate of idol groups also plays a role. Yes. Everything is new to them because they're pretty much always new. Kpop gets old very easily, there's barely a concept of "historical memory" and veeeery few survive. Jpop I think it's more about "respect for the elders"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidguy 2,527 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) I've ranted about this in a couple places now, but just so more people know: Never buy a music video from iTunes or Recochoku unless you want ass-quality videos. Having done some research, apparently iTunes doesn't sell HD music videos at all. I've seen a bunch of posts that go back years, of people complaining about how iTunes doesn't have HD music videos, and having just bought one for myself recently, I can confirm, it's 480p. For testing purposes, I also bought the same MV on Recochoku, which was much more expensive, I might add. The video was 480p. I spent 5 USD on a 480p music video in 2018. Just double check that it wasn't just a special case, I bought a different music video from a different artist. It was also 480p. So not only do Japanese companies have the audacity to try and convince people to buy their MVs, they don't even have the decency to sell you the HD version. It's slightly ironic coming from Recochoku considering they sell FLAC. I honestly don't know how Japanese people put up with this. This is seriously some ISP/net neutrality level of shitty business practices. Edited February 24, 2018 by davidguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
