@MartijnMonster Mwave (and I guess YesAsia) etc are doing all member signed copies of CLC's mini

I think I'll get it. Are there reasons why I shouldn't get it from Mwave? Besides the risk of getting a smudged one and the slow shipping?

@PopReaper I have a new JPop artist for you to check out. Her name is WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA. Her music is like... pop but also kind of weird. And I feel like you enjoy pop/weird music :green:

Her new album, SUPERMAN, comes out next month and each song is about a different man in history or fiction who was sort of a hero or overcame stuff. Here's the single, "Ikkyu-san," which is the name of a fictional Buddhist boy monk who outwits adults (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikkyū-san):

This song is a lot more mainstream than most of them - a lot of her songs have a lot of rhythmic talking and other sort of non-melodic and weird vocal stuff going on, but the instrumentals are always really cool.

I love that her albums (there aren't that many, she just debuted in 2013) have themes. There was an album where all the songs referenced different films, for example. 

Unfortunately their Wikipedia page isn't updated for the past year, but there's a lot of stuff on iTunes Japan. I think I'm gonna try to get into them (I realized over the course of writing this post that WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA isn't just the woman who sings, it's a trio)

sis I've posted about WC/Suiyobi No Campanella here before (The "Ra" MV I think) :emma: They're great :legend:

Yeah, it's a trio: The singer (KOM_I), a producer and the guy who directs the videos if I'm not mistaken 

You should listen to Zipang tbh, it's a great album. Haven't listened to their other one about mythical creatures, just a few singles (like Chupacabra). Can't wait for their new one, that song w/ the bowling MV is great.

Fun Fact: The K in KPop stands for "Kate Bush"

HAHAHA as soon as I searched "Ra" I recognized the thumbnail immediately

I'm gonna listen to all the samples of their albums. Cuz the music is interesting even if some of it is a little :wtfga:  And I love how thematic the albums are

Nevermind, Mwave won't let me sign up :awkney:
Maybe it's better anyway, otherwise I don't know what to get from Ktown4U again next month :toofunny:

Also, the packaging is nice, but nothing special. Just the standard photobook with the cd in a paper sleeve, but the concept is exactly what I'm in to.

How would y'all rank SNSD's solos so far?

imo:

TaeYeon = Tiffany (TaeYeon's tracks have been slightly better so far but her sound/image is very inconsistent, unlike Tiffany who already has a very specific Korean Carly Rae Jepsen style) >>>>> SeoHyun (It's good but not that interesting)
