Even though I know the correct pronunciation of "xTRiPx" now, I still read it as "eks trip" in my head every time I see it.

It's just "trip"

林檎飴 / Candied Apple
 
Lyrics: Takeru
Music: Yuuki
 
I’m getting dizzy, I'm so crazy about you!
 
Sorry, I made you wait!
What’s that, you’re even wearing just the right yukata!*
And it seems like you decided to put your hair up the perfect way too!
 
Me too – look, look, I’m wearing that yukata you wanted to see!
I wonder if I’ve tied the obi I can’t seem to get the hang of wearing neatly?
 
When the two of us draw closer to each other, is it you that’s making me feel hot?
I ask for a fan**
I like you! I like you! I like you! I love you!
 
When we join hands, I feel like I’m floating
My heart’s pounding, what should I do?
When I look at you, I get nervous
Am I making your heart race too?
 
When I look up at the night sky, it’s like it’s whirling around
Of course, it might also be because of your dazzling smile
I gaze at you, and it’s like I’m spinning round and round***
A candied apple that’s going to melt during the night
 
Hey, hey, can you hear it?
The sound of my pulse
I’m so unsteady on my feet, it’s like I’ve forgotten where I am
Rising up faster than the fireworks shooting into the air,
My feelings for you are ready to explode
 
Counting all those frustratingly slow days on my fingers,
I feel like if I tell you, it’ll all fall to pieces
 
But I want to tell you, I’ve gotta tell you! I want to say it to you!
I’m right on the edge of my capacity
I like you! I like you! I like you! I love you!
Ah, that’s it, I want you right now!
 
When we join hands, I feel like I’m floating
My heart’s pounding, what should I do?
When I look at you, I get nervous
Am I making your heart race too?
 
When I look up at the night sky, it’s like it’s whirling around
Of course, it might also be because of your dazzling smile
I gaze at you, and it’s like I’m spinning round and round
A sweet love that’s going to melt during the night
 
I’m getting dizzy, I'm so crazy about you!
 
Notes:
*I’m not sure about the “tte are”
**Not sure about the specific verb here
***Not sure what “kyurukyuru” means – I think I saw someone compare it to the kind of turning sound of someone rewinding a videotape on Japanese Yahoo Answers, but I don’t know if that’s correct

I don't have anything against K-pop, but K-pop fans on Twitter makes me cringe so hard sometimes.
When I clicked on the hashtag "YouTubeGiveUsOur10MillionBack" expecting to see some outrage about YouTube avoiding taxes or not paying content creators and found out it was just angry K-pop fans complaining that 10 million views disappeared (possibly only temporarily) from a video with 90 million views... Wow.

It kinda just looks like they all got TP’ed in their sleep and they just woke up

^Yeah, I've liked most of the tracks I've heard from them, so I'm sure the albums are worth a listen. I checked out their latest video the other day and thought it sounded really good, just never got around to a full release for whatever reason. I think I even had DEEPER downloaded on my old computer around when it came out because I liked One Me Two Hearts and Talkie Dance so much, just never seemed to remember when I had time.

RIP. Never got around to listening to a full release from hitorie, but I've always really loved this song and video.

While I've enjoyed some of the songs I've heard from them over the years, I've never been able to will myself to listen to a full GALNERYUS release featuring Sho on vocals.
 
I really should give their more recent stuff a shot, because I liked the theme they did for Hunter x Hunter a lot, but Yama-B's super earnest vibe and general goofiness were the main things I liked about them, tbh, so it's still kind of hard to force myself to make the adjustment...
 
 

I've been watching Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works. It's on Netflix and I always liked the look of the Servant characters when I saw fanart of them floating around, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
 
It's alright, but I'm getting really sick of every single battle ending in a draw or with one person going "Finish them!" and their ally basically going "No, that's enough... for now!" and walking away.
