This is exactly what I had hoped for based on the cover and genre tags: Unapologetically flashy and theatrical music that feels like it belongs in a villainous Tumblr sexyman musical number. It had me hooked from the first song, but later songs showed a surprising amount of range and nuance.

Got this album recommended by @Nagi111910 - Thanks for that!!

Thanks for the J-Pop rec from @Nagi111910

Cannot properly review this with it being in a different language, wherefore I will not rate it. But this is what I think.

My interest peeked at the first few seconds of the album. I'm not a fan of Asian Pop or most pop for that matter. But if it was 30 minutes of that swing stuff it would've AT LEAST been interesting. But ya, this is "I feel a song coming on🫰" ahh music. The production meets the J-Pop standard in every way, the ... read more
