Moving Voices - Hongjoong, Jongho, Sohyang etc

NOW YOU LOT CAN LET ME BE!! LOOL

I totally understand why it was highly requested though. There was a lot of great moments here. The best part really being Hongjoong, though he has some technical limits in his delivery and not a great range of dynamics because essentially he sings like rapper, he ATE.

I LOVE the tone of his voice and freedom he has. I think he picked great songs too that suit him, he's truly special.

Now, Jongho. When he gets it right, MY GOD it's like mag...

TWS (lol) Last Festival Recording & Dance Behind + itslive

Well, more TWS content LOOL!

It's great hearing their vocals more raw, I really am growing to love Dohoon's voice more and more! Kyungmin is also sooo full of passion, he's going to be a force to reckoned with for sure.

I got into the dance behind once Jihoon was doing the details more so. Really fascinating seeing those details being ironed out.

2025 really is the year of the boys.

Enjoy!

Universe League ep 9 & 10 (plenty of skipping)

Nearly forgot to edit these lol.

Tbh, it's quite a pity that a fantastic survival show ended up going a very predictable way after such a fun format. The global votes just held SOOO much power which is i guess refreshing but i think some were forgettable in the line up meanwhile all the stars in groove (besides park han) are neglected but nonetheless I see them debuting together in the future.

The quality and execution of the last episode was a little underwhelming as well. Tbh s...

NCT 127 The Momentum tour & Japanese Awaken Album

*PSA I didn't actually want my singing to be that loud SORRRY. I was juh vibin twin. I only just noticed as i was making the short for youtube oopsie. I can't make the music not bop! Please sing along too LOOL*

Girl. This tour. I've finally decided to edit it. I wasn't going to cos I found my mood lowering but i decided fuck it and added it to my Japanese album reaction.

Firstly fuck Beyond Live. They need to do so much better. That disgusting filter HAS GOT TO GO. LIKE YESTERDAY....

XDINARY HEROES Troubleshooting pt 1 & 2

It had been WAAAY too long. Don't think i've forgotten about my babies!

This was cute. I think I'd love to see them do something that gets them to casually sing. Maybe some of karaoke or singing quiz game show?? Would love recommendations if possible.

Otherwise I'll keep looking for other stuff anyway!

I enjoyed this.

DREAMCATCHER Intro:Save Us Album

SURPRISEEEEEEE!!

I had been asked to do this several times and I'm glad I finally did it. It's been toooo long since I've done DC.

Their harmonies and vocal layering is soo damn rich man and even if i don't LOVE the songs, I still am interesred. I kinda wish it was a full group album because the solo songs weren't as strong for me but I still enjoyed myself overall.

I'm now wondering if I missed any other albums. I was also surprised that the album tracks weren't very roc...

Younha Stardust live

I had to hear the song in full after the killing voice!

She's so amazing as per.

JB & Youngjae Mujin Service

GOD I love how open and relaxed JB is now, he's really matured into such a sexy teddy bear lol.

Hearing their voices side by side I'm impressed at how much more JB's has grown and what he can offer tonaly depending on the song and what he's aiming for.

Youngjae is skillful but at times feels generally tight in a way that's hard to describe. Maybe it's his placement that bothers me but I'm never eager to hear more from him even though he IS skilled.

Enjoy!

Treasure Junkyu Mujin Service

A VERY complex case.

I'd be honest, at the start I was thinking why the fuck did people beg for me to check this out but throughout, I absolutely got it.

He kinda forced me to enjoy his voice the way it is. It has sauce and r&b finesse that you don't really here in kpop. His low range has SO Much body, a pleasant surprise, as are his runs and how he finishes his phrases.

I need to do more Treasure content for sure cos I used to love these guys.

TWS Dohoon Mujin Service

And to THINK I didn't think this group had any singers??!?!

It really goes to show how producers and labels can do a disservice to talented singers when aiming for songs that are radio/mainstream and unfortunately the tasteless public continues to prove them right.

Dohoon's voice was a pleasant fucking surprises. I LOVE the way he belts. It's like he pops his voice through a crack into a free sounding belt that has a round and warm but kinda breathy tone similar to Haechan but a...

GOT7 Album Review

Like i say in the reaction, this was more a case of something is better than nothing for their fans.

Especially considering they are independent it's a lot of work and they did manage to execute it well but when I was listening it was purely as an outsider looking in. A part of wonders though why a short term contract can't be sorted to really fund something worthy of their status and talent? Than something that's just warm enough to be interesting but not assertive and leaving a mark ...

Kickflip Album Review

GWORRLLLLLLLLL!!

One thing about me. If you're gonna sing well, I am SAT.

It's a shame people are distracted by their "visuals" and not paying attention to the MUSIC. They're acting like this is Shrek and his children. These boys are cute and singing their faces off.

See you on tomorrow - whatever that means, is such a great vocal with some nice layered harmonies that add some nice moments of dissonance at times. Like who does that on a debut album??

On top of that...

ONEW Mujin Service

GOD this was SOOO goood!!

Even though I'm sooo familiar with his voice, he managed to showcase how versatile his voice still is!

Singing a full english songs and not avoiding any of the difficult parts was fantastic! I also LOOOVED the duet omg. I'd love for them to release that honestly. PLEASE!!

I gagged so much!

Enjoy!

[NEW] Universe League Ep 6(ish), 7 & 8 (Loads of skipping ofc)

LOOOL baby. The finale is in 3 days, I had to make sure I was nice and caught up.

Realistically I don't think my favourites are gonna make the group judging by the rankings. I can see the group having Woongki and Shuaibo for sure since they're super popular. I don't have anything against them but I don't think they suit the brand of the kind of group I'd love to see come from this. They're cute and sweet but don't scream cool and versatile to me.

If I can get JL, Park Han and St...

Street Girl Fighter 2 ep 1!

I JUST LOVE WOMEN.

Girl hood in full action I can tell I'm going to absolutely enjoy this show. The mentors are all fantastic and exactly what I want. I will probably watch the first one for Monika alone lol but we'll see.

The talent is of course on top form I'm like, these girls are HOW old?!

I do feel a little bad for some of the other crews who aren't as popular as they find it harder to scout talent but I'm pretty sure producers picked crews that'll be a fan of at lea...

Universe League Ep 3,4 & 5 (Loads of skipping - duh)

BABY.

I AM FUCKING INVESTED!!!! My HEART was literally racing when Team Groove were fighting to intercept Beat's song. That's how much I'm in love with these idols.

I'm so glad I was pushed to watch this although I could see prior, why so many of you liked the format of this show so much.

All this excites but also scares me when I think of wanting my favourites to make the top 7. I'm sure the others will still form groups if they don't make the final line up but I really ...

&TEAM Yukiakari Album

My new male SNSD. It's official after these videos.

It's a bit disjointed to experience the album this way, I hope they tidy up this process for future releases lol.

Deer Hunter is SOOO cunty, that's all I needed tbh and then falling in love with Big Suki! YES!!

YUMA IS THE FUCKING GOAT. He owns this whole era, I literally couldn't see anyone else. Reminded me of how I experienced him in Under the skin.

They have everything I want in a group and their music produced IM...

BABYMONSTER 'Drip' Recording

The biggest stand out for me watching this is how FREE Yg artists are as well as how casual and open everything feels which is quite refreshing. I loved being able to see the engineers/producer/writers faces.

These girls are wise and confident beyond their years and I think that's the beauty of YG's training which is about building up your ego and bravado which comes across waaay more authentic than trying to present fake doe like innocence at ALL TIMES.

I LOVE that their confid...

ENHYPEN - No Doubt, XO & fatal trouble recordings

YO.

Their vocals have GROWN so fucking much hello?!?! Though they do work WAAY too hard, it's clear it's benefited their vocals. They supported the voices and sing with such conviction and clarity it's great.

Jungwon, Jake and Jay are a dangerous trio. Different tones but their voices have developed beautifully.

Looking forward to watching more of these and their new albums this year!

Enjoy!

BOYNEXTDOOR Chuseok Karaoke pt 2 & MAMA 2024 performance

The part 2 wasn't as great as part 1 but still enjoyable, I'm in love with Sungho's voice man!

I'd watch more singing variety stuff of theirs though, i want to hear more. I Pray their music really has moments that showcase these vocals, they may have it already, I just need to discover it.

Now regarding that MAMA performance. I GET IT! They looked sexy, suave, gentlemanly and grown, it was perfect styling and they performed with such confidence and EASE!! You can see that they p...

My Non-KPop TOP 15 Releases of 2024

I've uploaded my top 26 K-pop releases on my hottakes channel.

Once again, a STRONG year for music. I've listened to the songs on this list SEVERAL TIMES and i'm STILL not sick of them.

I HOPE 2025 is strong too but 24 will be tough act to follow.

Can you guess my no.1 artist?

Enjoy!

"P1Harmony Dressed Me"

Glad I got my answer to the question regarding what "her closet" is lol.

This was really cute!

Soul is so CUTE I can't take it. Theo is also hilarious. Most of their outfits were solid too for sure.

I will be doing more of their variety stuff at some point I'm sure.

Maybe a concert too but we'll have to see.

Enjoy !

"Ateez Dressed me" ft a couple performance reactions & Yunho Oz performance

God San is SOO loveable and comes across sooo genuine I'd love to meet him.

This episode was fantastic. I'll always commend them for their liberal forward thinking especially coming from such a conservative country.

The outfits ate OVERALL!!

Loads of fun. I'm missing some ATEEZ variety shows.
