PREVIOUS RECAPS: Episode One // Episode Two // Episode Three // Episode Four At the beginning of the episode, the Planet K and Planet C survivors were revealed to each other via a dramatic falling curtain flourish. I have no idea how they got everyone situated behind each side of the curtain without each other noticing (though I would bet good money that they did notice and had to fake shock). Gosh, the number of Planet C boys looked so small. This first performance round is made up of songs from artists who all won the best rookie award at…
It’s been a pretty lousy year for J-pop, but my favorite acts have actually remained pretty reliable. We’ve seen highlights from Ryugujo, Genic and Kis-My-Ft2, and co-ed group One Love One Heart has recently been churning out solid material as well. Best of all, they finally seem eager to draw upon their biggest strength: the blend of many different vocal tones and colors. New single Bagucchau Ne does this better than any of their recent work. The entire song unfolds as a sprightly duet — almost a call-and-response between the male and female members. In fact, the voices are so…
I last wrote about Queenz Eye all the way back in 2023 and can’t remember anything about their music. Such is the fate of too many nugu groups, under-promoted and given infrequent comebacks to the point where everyone but their most dedicated fans forget they exist. With new track Feel The Vibe, they’re back to remind us what they’re all about. We may be in the dog days of summer, but that doesn’t mean K-pop can’t still offer some refreshing bops to soundtrack the second half of the season. Feel The Vibes‘ music video is all palm trees and lounging…
Hyperpop has become a driving force in electronic music, and whenever a trend takes hold you know that K-pop is lurking right around the corner, ready to pounce on it. Yves has gone full bore into the genre with her new album, crafting the kind of quirky soundscapes the internet seems to love even as they often leave me cold. Title track Soap is another song that leaves me scratching my head and wondering what the big deal is. Opening with a sample from Rebecca Black’s Sugar Water Cyanide (off her incredible 2025 EP), Soap is eager to prove its…
