hmm, not really feeling them rn. Party looks pretty much like every SISTAR comeback, Lion Heart doesn't sound really single-worthy from what I've heard. You Think is def the most promising one, but it still sounds a bit outdated.

Maybe the full songs will change my mind tho :emma:

"Party" reminds me of "Love & Girls" (which I really don't like :emma:) and "Lion Heart" reminds me of "My Oh My" so I'm hoping they're actually a lot different.

You Think I'm guessing is the main single out of the three. :lmao: At first I thought it was like a 'throwback' video cause it's in an SM box and I seen long blonde hair and assumed it was Hyo... But, yeah... It wasn't. :flop:

But the real question is... How many copies of this album are SM gonna make me buy?
Dream Team just announced that Ring My Bell will also have five different SMC album versions, but I'm only gonna buy the regular albums. I got the SMC of I Miss You and Minah's solo - and ... the photo books for Minah's was the exact same as the normal album, but half the size.

Fave group song of 2015 so far:
FIESTAR's "You're Pitiful"

Fave solo song of 2015 so far:
Does Sunmi's "Full Moon" count since I first heard it this year? :emma:
If not then Shannon's "I Know", and if only singles count then... "Why Why"

Fave JPop song of 2015 so far: 
Erm... Um... Catch Me If You Can? :emma: 

Honorable Mentions (list all your fave songs here): 
Minah's "I Am A Woman Too"

Crayon Pop's "FM"
AOA's "Heart Attack"
Shannon's "I Know"
Erm... Might update later.

Overall impression of 2015 so far:
Good, but not great.

Most looking forward to for second half of 2015:
Er... SNSD and hopefully Wings and Purfles and f(x) and EXID

Who will dominate the second half of 2015:
Honestly... SNSD. Between their Korean promotions and the inevitable Japanese singles/album.

Other predictions for the rest of 2015:
RaNia disband
CHI CHI make a comeback (they have an Apple Music page, so...)
Wings either make it, or... disduo

More group lineup changes

Who won't make it to 2016:

RaNia :(

Fave group song of 2015 so far: Crayon Pop, "FM"

Fave solo song of 2015 so far: ANDA, "Touch"

Fave JPop song of 2015 so far: Koda Kumi, "Walk of My Life"

Honorable Mentions (list all your fave songs here):

4Ten, "Why"
NC.A, "Coming Soon"
Lizzy, "Goodbye PMS"
MinAh, "Colorful"
BoA, "Blah"
Namie Amuro, "_genic" album

Overall impression of 2015 so far: Not nearly as good as 2014, but the second half is looking promising

Most looking forward to for second half of 2015: Nine Muses "Hurt Locker," Poten's comeback (mostly out of curiosity, I have a feeling it won't be good)

Who will dominate the second half of 2015: SNSD. The teasers sound like the songs will be good enough not to give them any problems returning to the top of the charts.

Also, Big Bang will continue dominating as they come out with a few songs a month.

Other predictions for the rest of 2015: LAYSHA will make a comeback, this time with a video. (Their fancams have been doing pretty decently, so I think they'll get another release)

Nine Muses will do well, particularly outside of Korea due to the euro-style dance instrumental (I think their YT views will be higher than their recent releases)

BESTie will have another comeback by the end of the year.

Lay will leave EXO :green:

Who won't make it to 2016: My interest in kpop. (jk)

Ugh... Today has been such a great day!

First new teasers for Girl's Day and news/teasers for Girls' Generation.
I got to finish work early too, and got paid for the time I should have done!
Our elliptical machine got fixed, so... Um, yay.
And I just got my exam results... Got 2 As and 2 Bs, which isn't bad considering I didn't turn up to most classes... :flop:

:lmao: I was on this site that was really good pricing for CDs, and it got to the point where I exceeded the weight limit... :rip: I didn't add that many CDs to the cart.

Fave group song of 2015 so far:
Red Velvet's "Ice Cream Cake"

Fave solo song of 2015 so far:
Imma pull a Taylor and say Ailee's "Shut Up" bc I only found out about it this year and bc I try to squeeze this song into every music related list I make.

If it doesn't count I def pick Lim Kim's "Upgrader"

Fave JPop song of 2015 so far: 
Namie Amuro's "Golden Touch"

Honorable Mentions (list all your fave songs here): 
SHINee's "Odd Eye"
JongHyun's "MONO-drama"

UNIQ's "Listen To Me" (a.k.a. the best boygroup song ever)
Natsume Mito's "Colony"

Girl's Day's "Hello Bubble"

KARA's "Cupid"

Anda's "Touch"

Overall impression of 2015 so far:
Started off really well, now it has kinda declined quality-wise, but still delivering some bops. Better than 2014's first semester tbh.

Most looking forward to for second half of 2015:
SNSD, f(x), a possible TaeMin comeback, TTS's (or new SNSD sub-unit's) comeback, SHINee's repackage

Who will dominate the second half of 2015:
Probably SNSD and BigBang, but it's gonna be tough as A LOT of comebacks will happen in the next month and a half.

Other predictions for the rest of 2015:
Nugu/2012 groups disbanding left and right
Wings + TINT's ultimatum
More dating "scandals"

More inaccurate TOP 40 videos

Relentless Secret promo from YCH's part

Me defending Twinkle like my life depended on it when TTS comes back

"Not-so-subtle" references in videos "ruining it" for PoshLife

Taylor continuing to sustain the K-Pop Industry by buying 40 albums per month

Who won't make it to 2016:
Wings, TINT, Hello Venus, MBLAQ

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