It sounds okay. I really don't hate a Nokubura release. They always have something on their releases that is solid. However, I am kinda of disappointed they haven't made a song in recent years thats on the same level as, say, Genesis or Sphere.

I am glad there are all new songs on this EP though! Their singles this year weren't like.. that good. Enjoyable but not that good.

He was also playing the drums for METRONOME  ever since they came back.

aka the inferior band tbh

But for real, this is unexpected. I haven't enjoyed a MUCC album since Shion but i'm sure their later music is at least tolerable (just not my cup of tea). I wish the band well in whatever happens to them in 2021. 

Some favorites:

Psycho (2019), their latest song. Highlights their fantastic vocals, minimal production.

Bad Boy (2018), another good song from them. It was, at the time, their biggest hit (until Psycho). It was popular enough for them to record an English version (which turned out not bad at all). I still prefer the original version. This song is more poppy compared to Psycho but it's still very much so mature and soulful.

Obsession (2019), EXO's latest single. A lot of fans consider this groups "Psycho".  A lot more hard-hitting than the past two songs I posted above. Really showcases the groups vocal range (especially near the end).

Tempo (2018), this is one of the groups most popular songs and honestly one of the songs that really got me into the group. Much more poppy than the other songs posted above. HOWEVER, this deserves a listen by everyone. This song is just incredible. You think it's just a straight-forward song but come halfway in, IT KICKS YOU IN THE FACE. Incredible, incredible high notes, harmonizing, true R&B that is reminiscent of 90's R&B. This sound is just ridiculous in a very good way.

@Furik I gotta ask what's your fav kpop artist or band? 

My fav band all-around? Hmm. Honestly, Red Velvet. They have incredible vocal range and I like their concept - they have two sides: Red, which is their poppy-upbeat side and Velvet, their more mature-smooth R&B sound. 

If I had to pick a boy-band counterpart, it would be EXO. They are like identical to Red Velvet (aside from the poppy side) in terms of vocal capabilities and the mature sound.

i am so blessed to be apart of a community that is hated by some. 💜 u all.

Here you go.

With that being said, stan A.C.E. The only promising kpop boy group now.

Kpop stans? 

Is that a reference to Eminem fans? 

Rap heads or just the song Stan? 

Lol I'm at a loss

Like you said, stan originated from the Eminem song. And it's used in not just kpop but all music fandoms now too.

For real I like it. They've gone so down hill but I still like everything they've released since they've become an anime-rock band.

フリク⭐

Wait. What is K-pop Life and how can I download it? 😬

It sounds like an OST track from an Korean drama.

Excuse me... HOW much?!

I don't remember my last post. Maybe 3-4 years ago.

Here's me with a real dinosaur at a zoo on Halloween.

This the most nu-VK we've had in a long time. The generic chugs, the synthesizer, the early 2000's Sadie Mao growling/screaming. I'm here for it.

YES! This past decade has been my FAVORITE! For real. 2000-2010 was much fun but I felt like I enjoyed this decade the most. And this was probably the "golden era" for me where artists were in their prime musically and a lot of new artists came out of nowhere and made good impressions. So, here's my list in alphabetic order. Bold releases are my ultimate favorite of the decade. I picked five.

I'm kinda upset they didn't announce shit ever since ruki's wuhan merch factory went on the covid quarantine hiatus, but it's the same band that blessed us with toxic and its lead singles back in the day.

You misspelled  Beautiful Deformity. But I forgive you.

If you have any doubts about it being corona, I'm just going to go ahead and say that it wasn't that. This one feels so specific, I've never been sick like this in my life. It's not comparable to influenza, the flu or anything else. But aside from how many old people, nerds and weaklings my droplets have managed to kill already, this wasn't bad at all for a healthy 27 year old. It is however, a very specific feeling when you have it, and I guess there is no guarantee if my sense of smell is going to come back lol

Dang, I'm glad you're okay. I've heard both horror stories and not so bad stories and yours is kind of a relief. But I also heard it affects people differently so you never know. As for your sense of smell like.... What's different about it? Can you like not smell at all or is it faint? I'm so curious. 

That's a surprisingly good line-up of artists. I will be tuning in for a lot of them!

Well, I just wanted the term to include everyone. But I guess gays is just a good term 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I was just overthinking it this morning. My bad. 

Wondering the same thing.  I'm just NOW getting into Discord. I found the vk.gy and RarezHut Discord servers but no MH.

Not shitposting here and I know clubs haven't been active in 3+ years. Just wondering and taking members thoughts and opinions to heart. Does the group name offend anyone at all? Should it be re-named to something more PC or appropriate? If so, suggestions are are open.

Just some random COVID ramblings:

I got pneumonia TWICE this year. TWICE and I was terrified both times it was COVID. Fortunately it was not and i've been tested for it three times and got the antibody test done too and it was negative. I've been so sick this year and I don't understand why. I rarely get sick.

And there's no reason to be sick.. I literally don't do anything. Ever since COVID, my job has become permanently remote so I just work from home. I do go out to get groceries, maybe some clothing, recreational shopping every once in a while but I rarely come in contact with people if I don't have to.

I am so over this year, the pandemic and the politics. I've lost three people close to me - my step-grandmother, my grandmother-in-law, and my brother-in-law's father. Some countries are doing so damn fine while there are some who are doing horribly worse since after lockdown. Why can't people just use their brains?! It's really not that hard. People fighting over masks. I don't care - just wear as mask. I don't care if they work as good as they do or not - better safe than sorry. People thinking COVID is a hoax. Then explain the 1.x million dead. People thinking COVID will just go away. It won't go away. It's not going to go away. We're almost at the ONE YEAR mark with this disease. It's changed our lives - how we act, how we do things outside of our homes, how we handle ourselves in public. For better or for worse. I'm still undecided about the vaccine. I honest to god don't think Trump got COVID. And I don't think he was given a vaccine. I think it was a ploy to publicly hype up getting a vaccine. Do I think the majority of his administration got COVID? Definitely. But last month just played out so weird for me.

Anyway, just random thoughts. I just had to get stuff out of my head.

It's hard to tell.

Their OHP is like... dead or not working but their last Twitter post was in August.

Their official merch site is still up and running.

They're supposedly doing two shows in Shibuya in January.

As much as this band gets shitted on, I really hope they continue to be active. Unpopular opinion but I really enjoyed MISC.
