And today,
John Powell- Coming Back Around (How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack)

In 8th grade, we did part of this song (along with other songs from the soundtrack) in band class and now I desprately want to find if anyone recorded that concert even though it's been nearly a year and a half :comeback:
 
I have been obsessed with Kanojo wa Tsumetai Hitsuji no Naka de from Linked Horizon for the past two months, When I knew Revo made a song for my favourite Shingeki no Kyojin character I almost cry, and I swear the lyrics and music are the most precious thing ever. God, even the title is damn beautiful. Love how being a sad song, is still so energetic and pasionate. Makes me wanna wake up and dance, and makes me wanna cry as well. The voice is great (not sure who is the singer tho) and the part with the violin and the saxo (I guess?) is GORGEOUS :dote:
I could fill an entire forum talking about it :love: Favourite song of 2017 so far
 
@Westkana : John Powell is a genius. One of my favorite American composers. The Paycheck is also an amazing soundtrack by him. I love Dragons though, miss watching the show with my brother. I don't think he does the show soundtrack though.

Hands down: KantanKantan-Kalafina (it's such a weird title that I want to say Katakata each time. lol) I love this song so much.
 
Sorry, double posting but I have been listening to the Hanako ost again and man, it is darn near perfect. I LOVED this track today though: 動き出す運命 Kajiura of course. I love the style. Kind of reminds me of the Spiral soundtrack. heh Such an awesome work by her.

this was the war track i named! haha yes it's great. listen to Crossroads too, it's magnificent.
 
F(x)- Rum Pum Pum Pum

This is one of the only other songs (much less a kpop song) that has given me that same Middle Eastern funk vibe that Tetotetometome gave me (Even though this one is significantly more electro-funk, though that's to be expected with Kpop xD).

I almost like it better than Tetotetometome in some aspects because of all the vocal layering and excellent harmonies going on, not to mention it's incredibly original and unique amidst the slew of generic Kpop out there right now.

Also, the pre-chorus lead in into the last chorus is amazingg

Hmmm, can't pick a fave today. a fruitless love, you can go your own way, a long goodbye (almost made me tear up), faith. All from RHH. When is there going to be another ost? Grr There's 5 Kala songs now, so where's the fourth and 5th soundtrack? heh

omg another f(x)'s listener! honestly i just listened to their whole discography this year (more like these past 2 months) and I honestly was really impressed. my sister has been their fans since 2012 and I used to mock her because f(x)'s songs are really 'different' and their title songs often have weird lyrics but after watching their DVD I honestly like almost 80% of their whole discography. They have the sound that I really really like, and most of their album songs are really great, especially their Red Light album. Rum Pum Pum Pum is a 2013 song though. I would recommend Milk if you haven't listened to it. If I've known them since 2015 I would've waited for their 4 walls (which is an another great album if you're into EDM) instead of fotw.

and Victoria is the queen. God she's the perfect woman. bye Keiko your place in my heart has been replaced.

f(x) - Cowboy is my favorite song of the day.

Yesss, f(x) is the best!!! I'm glad to see another fan here.
Since writing that initial post, I actually went back and listened to all of their (and all of SHINee's) discography and I was super impressed. Like you, I've been aware of f(x) for a while now, but all I really knew were Electric Shock and Hot Summer, which, now that I've listened to all their discography, are some of their weaker tracks, at least to me. Their album songs are just way too good. (Milk was one of my favorite tracks off Red Light lol)

I agree, they have a really unique sound compared to the rest of the Kpop groups I've seen. It's a shame they're relatively underrated though. :/ Them and SHINee are probably tied right now for my two favorite musical groups ever to be honest.
If you like f(x), I'd recommend SHINee if you haven't heard much from them already! They're kinda considered the sibling group to f(x), as they both have that really cool distinct sound (View is basically SHINee's equivalent to 4 Walls xD), and like f(x), their album songs are way better than their title songs. (Both them and f(x) also have some of the best harmonies ever, sorry Kalafina)

I loved 4 Walls too, definitely miles better than fotw haha.
And yes Victoria is queen I love both her and Luna so much

Favorite song today: tied between f(x)- Deja Vu and SHINee- Don't Stop

omg you liked SHINee too let's be best friends! I completely agree about Electric Shock and Hot Summer being some of their weaker tracks. Both of them are catchy though so I get why they became so popular and amongst the most well known tracks from f(x).

I've known SHINee because my some of my high school friends are a big shawol, so I've known them since 2009 actually but never really got around to listen to them because I was too infatuated by Kalafina back then (since 2008 - 2010 is Kalafina best era). Now that I played Superstar SMTown on android I've been actively searching for their musics because man they're really good. View is a BOP and yes that's SHINee's equivalent to 4 Walls. And yes honestly SHINee and f(x) have some cool harmonies on their tracks (sorry Kalafina) and overall their songs are really well-produced. The only advantage Kalafina have on them is that Kalafina also sings their harmonies live while Kpop idols don't sing in harmonies that much on their live performance, but when you compare the CD version SHINee's and f(x)'s won by MILES.

I am really sad that SM slept on them, though not as much on SHINee as they did on f(x), at least SHINee have been actively doing concerts while f(x) had their 1st concert after 7 years of debuting lmao. SM put a tons of effort to promote EXO and Red Velvet but not so much on SHINee and f(x). EXO at least became really popular because their members are good looking and the vocalists really can sing but man if their title tracks aren't annoying af. Red Velvet also have nice vocalists but they don't have their own style, their songs are mostly blergh to me (not catchy enough to get stuck on your head - I mean TWICE can't sing and dance but their songs stuck in your head, though sometimes not in a good way - and not good enough to be considered as good songs), and visually they're nothing compared to their older sisters (SNSD and f(x)) though they do hold their own compared to 3rd gen Kpop idols. It's been 4-5 years and they still don't have the aura of a star.

4 walls is the bop. Luna is also the love and man can that girl sing. I honestly prefer her compared to more known female kpop vocalists idols such as SNSD's Taeyeon, Tiffany, Seohyun and IU. Tiffany and IU, despite having nice timbre are the queens of strain though how can people stand hearing their voices so much I'd never known. I can feel my throat hurt just by hearing them :XD:

fav tracks today: SHINee - Replay and f(x) - Diamond (this song has been stuck in my head since yesterday).

sorry for making this a Kpop random rant lmao but I need to say this as I'm not active in any Kpop forums because the drama here is much tamer compared to the drama on Kpop forums.

Yes let's! :D
You have no idea how much I've been dying to talk to another Kpop fan who actually knows their stuff, half of my friends don't take Kpop seriously when I try to show it to them, and the other half are just the super annoying 'bts and blackpink armyyyy ' type ://

I actually went through a huge SHINee phase back in 2010-2012 (their first album was literally the only thing I listened to back then), but I kinda just stopped keeping track of them until very recently when I went back and listened to everything that I missed out on and I was SUPER impressed. (1of1 and Odd are so good)

Completely agree with the thing about the harmonies though. It's one of the main reasons why I still regularly re-watch old Kalafina and YK lives while I can never seem to get that same sense of enjoyment when watching K-pop lives. I honestly wouldn't mind if they ditched all the fancy choreography (never was one to care for that tbh) and just put more focus on the actual live singing and harmonizations. They're all perfectly capable singers, but it's freaking Kpop (and SM) so of course that would never happen lol

Also agree with what you said regarding SM. While they have some of the best singers in the K-pop world (not the biggest Super Junior fan in the world, but damn Kyuhyun can sing) they never seem to know how to utilize them properly. F(x) is so much better than the other 'big' SM groups, but they never get anywhere near as much promotion compared to what those groups get. (It took them like 7 years to get an official fanclub name wtf)
I'm at least grateful that they're treating SHINee better than that, but it's really not that much better tbh (still nowhere near the amount they're promoting groups like EXO and Red Velvet lol)

I do like EXO though, even though the first song I heard from them was fucking Wolf of all things, so it took me a long time before I was willing to listen to more of their music after that haha. They do have good albums/album songs though, my favorite album probably being Ex'act.

I never really liked Red Velvet though, their music is just kinda obnoxious to me and nothing really stands out about them either; it's like you said, they have no real style.

Completely agree about Luna too!! God I love her so much, she's probably my favorite female vocalist in all of Kpop (my male favorite is probably Jonghyun with Taemin being a close second).
I'm not the biggest fan of Taeyeon either, she has a good voice and all, but it doesn't really strike me as anything that special, if that makes sense. :XD:I do like SNSD, but I've only really heard the majority of their singles and not any of their album tracks, so I'm not sure whether those or worth checking out or not.

Agree with IU as well (I haven't heard enough of the rest you mentioned to really judge). My sister really likes her and I'm like...why. I like her collab track with Jonghyun and that's about it lol.

Haha don't apologize, I really appreciate your rants!
I've been dying to talk about SHINee and f(x) with someone for a while now, so much so that I actually am in the middle of writing a giant comprehensive guide to ALL of SHINee's discography (It's 30 pages now and it's still not done), including all their Korean, Japanese, AND all of Jonghyun's and Taemin's solo stuff (which are also REALLY good), so yeah... haha

Also, all the Kpop forums suck lol. So much stupid drama and whining, I'm far more comfortable sticking here even if I'm not as into Kajiura as I used to be

Today's favorite track: Taemin- Already
Love when Jonghyun composes stuff for other SHINee members. This track is really good and screams super early Replay-era SHINee, which I really like.
Also, Lollipop- f(x).
This track is super corny but it keeps getting stuck in my head and I can't bring myself to dislike it lol

your experience is almost nearly identical to mine I'm choked. I am also not the biggest super junior fan because their songs to me are just plainly weird and mostly annoying, though they do have some good tracks every now and then. Their weirdness is not (for lack of better word), aesthetically weird as f(x). I remember my high school best friends didn't stop listening and talking about Mr.Simple and Bonamana and I was like urgh why those songs are annoying af. But damn yes Kyuhyun can sing so damn well. The best SuJu unit is obv SuJu KRY because their voices together are just wonderful. Their rendition of Himawari no Yakusoku is breathtaking.

also yes to that bit on Kalafina. I nowaday do become more and more skeptic towards Kalafina and Kajiura but I still listen to them and watch their live performance from time to time but mostly their older performances. Kalafina imo should not have those forced and weird choreography. They can just move their bodies following the rhythm or have something much simpler. For example, let's just compare te to te to me to me from Red Moon 2010 live and Red Day 2015. The choreography from their 2010 performance was much better and more fitting to the song compared to the Red Day 2015. Not to mention how stiff the girls looked like when they had to dance their recent choreographies. They concentrated so hard to not mess up and that affects the viewer/audience as well.

I know SM also didn't promote SHINee enough but every other groups seemed to have better promotion compared to f(x), which is the sad truth.

AND OMG THE FIRST EXO SONG I LISTENED TO WAS WOLF TOO :XD: that song is super annoying and generally speaking, just plain horrible and I refuse to listen to them until I play Superstar SMTown (again, I kinda have to thank this game for introducing me to some good Kpop songs though only SM. but then again I was never a big fan of idols from other agencies like JYP and YG). Yes they do have some really good songs that I still didn't remember because I haven't listened to them all that much.

Also agreed on that bit about Taeyeon and SNSD. I haven't listened to their album songs too and only listened to their promotional songs but I think I'm stuck to their Jessica-era, as I don't really like their songs after Jessica got kicked. Party is a hella annoying song and their newest album is as boring as watching white paint drying. The whole Lion Heart single/EP is quite nice though for it has this vintage/retro vibe.

I'm listening to Taemin's Danger as I write this and man do I love his solo works. Danger, Drip Drop, and Play Me are really really good songs. And yes Jonghyun is such a dear and his songs are genuinely gems. Breathe is definitely one of the best ballads I heard since awhile and Sohyang's rendition makes me love that song even more.

It honestly feels so good to have someone to talk about SHINee and f(x) :") I mean most kpop fans nowadays are mostly into Blackpink and BTS. While I'm actually okay with Blackpink (their songs are quite okay but their voices are somewhat annoying to my ears), I totally don't get the hype for BTS. They're not attractive, their songs are annoying, and their attitude turns me off. Not to mention BTS Army is like one of the most vicious and exaggerated fanclub to ever exist.
 
Saeko Chiba's Kajiura discography is gold why wouldn't FJ performed her songs more

im still in kpop mood so
Danger - Taemin
