Do they ever release instrumental versions of kpop albums? There's a number of tracks I'd like to have instrumentals of.

My top 5 are:
Porter Robinson - The Seconds (224)
IU - Mia (160)
After School - Shampoo (72)
U-kiss - 0330 (68)
Adele - Set Fire To The Rain (52)
Trouble Maker - Words I Hate To Hear (44)

I included 6 because I think the Porter Robinson song was just left on overnight or something lol. Dont remember listening to it 224 times. Honestly don't know why theres not more trance in my top 5. Maybe because the songs are like double the length of a kpop song.

Lol. I had that happen with Mr. Big by Hyori. One night I accidentally left it on on repeat and it went from 50 to 150 listens up to #1.

My iPod started doing weird things for a bit where every time I synced it via the cord it would aggregate all plays and double count things to the point where my top ten songs were around 1000 listens and the rest were in the double digits or low hundreds.

My top 10 most played are:

HIZAKI Grace Project - Supreme Being
f(x) - Nu ABO
Versailles - The Red Carpet Day
HIZAKI Grace Project - Race Wish
Versailles - Silent Knight
2NE1 - Clap Your Hands
4minute - Muzik
Big Boi - Daddy Fat Sax
Lupe Fiasco - Go Go Gadget Flow
Shiina Ringo - A View of Happiness

Would probably be a lot of X Japan there if it was all time, this is only about 18 months old since my last format I guess.

And the only kpop instrumental I have is Yayaya. Probably better than the full song.

I don't use iTunes, but if I did, I don't think I'd have any kpop in the top 10. It would probably be filled with YUI... IU (probably MIA, but also Marshmallow from my daughter listening to it so much) would probably be the closest to breaking in to it. There is a lot of AKFG, Radwimps, Sambomaster, etc.. to get past though. hmmm

I listen to so many k-pop singles through youtube mvs... inferior sound quality ftw.

Watching newest k-pop right now, good times INDEED. Contestants split in three to undergo training at the three agencies. No surprise: SM's building is the lamest and inside there's none of the shiny flare of the others.. those guys don't spend a dime unless it's absolutely necessary.

Heard some talk about them buying a new building, though. Don't know if it's this.

When I'm not out I listen mainly to recordings of performances, kpop or otherwise. Although it's more important for me outside of kpop. That means I end up using youtube play lists a lot. lol It's a lot of effort to find the original file. v.v Low sound quality ftw indeed. :p

Flockaveli was an amazing, balls out intense album. Damn.. dude didn't want to let a song die even as it faded out.. he had to scream his name until he fainted.

Haha, definitely. Unfortunately, none of the other songs on the album stuck with me like No Hands. Flockaveli was kind of No Hands and then other songs that were good to listen to but none that I would actually actively play.

I think it would be easier to get people I know into kpop, if I let them hear instrumentals first and then the songs with vocals later.


EDIT: thank you based altair. hyomin so fine

atm mines like 90% trance 10% kpop, there hasnt been much that interests me lately. Maybe when the new big bang album drops it'll probably be the other way around haha, depends all on my mood i guess. I listen to anything really, my music collection goes from kpop to jrock to trance to instrumentals to rammstein (german metal?) so yeahhhh

I skip a lot of songs in the last 5-10 seconds as they quiet down and get boring, so that may be something that stops them from being counted. Not sure how much of a song has to play in order to count.

100% I believe. That's probably why..

Yeah. That actually really annoys me about iTunes. Cause I generally don't enjoy the last 15-30 seconds of songs, but it doesn't count as a listen unless i sit through it or move the cursor to right before the end.

Actually I mainly listen to alternative rock, indie rock, rock ballads, post grunge etc. ocassional pop music and mainstream hits.

I like a lot of the soulful songs of K-music but kpop overall doesnt grab me so much as the singers off the stage in variety or reality shows. Korea's style of variety shows and the personalites of the idols that appear on those broadcasts is what make me take another listen to kpop.

2NE1's Fire is one the few debuts that got me interested in following a group from the get go without prior knowledge of them. I liked their more punchy attitude compared to the cutesy stuff most girl groups debut with. CN Blue is another one I particularly like probably because of their more rock style.

No bad feelings here, just can't imagine a constant stream of opinionated chatting replacing the sweet joys of music in my life.

Not sure why the Miryo teaser was made private.

But what's this? Minah is... kinda hot? And seems to have dialed back the tryhard, but is it enough to compete?

Minah's always been hot when she isn't acting weird. That picture isn't too great though.

EDIT: Uhhh, wtf...
Unfortunately, Inkigayo’s TV cameras posed an even bigger problem, as they were focused on Hwayoung for a close-up shot just as the mishap occurred.

Furthermore, the fact that the incident went unnoticed during pre-recording and editing has led to Inkigayo’s crew being criticized by netizens.

Surely someone's gotta get fired for that.

Nope. The last 6 months? Sure. She worked out or something.

I was lazily pulling from tumblr. Right now I'm looking at albums from 걸스토커 and there are plenty of good ones.

Girl's Day is in desperate need of a good song.

Rain rain go away, that's what all my haters say. Haha, to be fair I think Wale and Roscoe make that song much more than Flocka. But I'm curious what songs you do like by Flocka if you don't care for No Hands?

I am, uh, currently unsure and need a lot more pictures of Yura to make a proper decision about this..

Surely you jest... She might look better with dark hair, but to base it on those pictures... Really?! In the first and third frame she looks downright ugly.

No jesting. I am a sucker for dark hair.
And sassy girls.
And she looks like she has both.
