ikr?? like, does sony japan not WANT people in other (large, wealthy) countries to buy their albums because they dont hear them in live promotions or concert set lists?

2024-11-21 01:26:07 +0000 UTCohhh i didn’t know their japanese releases didn’t “count.” i agree they definitely go HARD. their japanese songs are some of my favorites!

2024-11-21 01:21:28 +0000 UTCi hear it!! since this song came out, it’s felt so comfortable and familiar to me, and that’s probably why. what a JAM.

2024-11-21 01:17:34 +0000 UTCQuestion: does this song feel like some of their older stuff from like 2018/19? or is that just me? Edit: I think that it's both their story and also for the drama. It just seems to speak way too much "them" in it for it to only be from the drama. But that's just my opinion. I could be totally wrong. :)

2024-11-18 03:01:10 +0000 UTCThe track in this song scratches my brain in the best way possible, I can't even tell you. It's so good. The lyrics are great, but the TRACK!

2024-11-17 23:51:05 +0000 UTC"Why", stick like glue in my brain. As if I have headphones on. 😄 SKZ are feeding us an overload of content, almost hard to keep up. "Song by" just dropped a new ep. and Seungmin's sprinkles his emotinal voice and tone all over us yet again.

2024-11-17 13:11:47 +0000 UTCWe don't care about that. SKZ don't "dial in" their Japanese releases. They go hard and they are just as worthy of the "new album" and "new single" statuses as any other album. ❤️🤘😃 "comeback" is just an easy way to refer to it. ;)

2024-11-17 03:01:32 +0000 UTCThey announced a comeback DURING a comeback. I pre-ordered an album before the previous album even shipped! What is happening??

2024-11-17 02:58:11 +0000 UTCThat's one of my fav clips from their fan meet on that channel. Something about the power of this song in those outfits brings me the utmost joy lol

2024-11-17 00:44:54 +0000 UTCAside from "Giant" this is honestly my fav song currently off the album (subject to change, without reason lol) - and I already knew it haha. While it's an OST, I do feel like it's a bit between Megaverse and Giant - the song is just SO good! Why do their Japanese "rock" sort of songs go so hard?!?! I believe "Battleground" was/is originally in Japanese as well (don't recall if you've heard it yet). THE HAT at 8:12 - it isn't random. I also love the hat. And thought of your hat in the rewatch of the Thunderous I think it was; I also liked that hat, and you mentioned it was too small.... so now I wonder... is that orange hat small? Is it the style? Look I spent nearly 2 hours today looking for 1 shirt, I don't know fashion at all lol but I clicked on this and was like 'dang, nice hat'. Not trying to give you a hat Comflex or anything lol, I'm just happy that someone else was like 'dang - nice hat'. Tiny hat on a handsome sausage - boom, got your merch.

2024-11-17 00:37:44 +0000 UTCGiant wasnt really a comeback because it doesnt count towards Korean Music Shows, Billboard etc…

2024-11-17 00:13:57 +0000 UTCI'm so upset at myself for not seeing this, I officially need to quit my jobs to focus on comebacks and OSTs 😭

2024-11-16 21:21:10 +0000 UTCThey uploaded half of their Why performance from their Japan Fan Meet: https://youtu.be/-Ob9GmDSMg0?si=Xvx6V1tnTA2_1RQl Due to their JP discography being under Sony Music Japan, they can't perform their JP songs outside of Japan. There was only one instance of them performing a KR version of their Japanese tracks without it being released and it was Battleground. They are going to do a Beyond Live for DOMINATE in Japan later tonight, they added Giant to the setlist and majority of the songs will be performed in their JP versions

2024-11-16 20:33:03 +0000 UTCFYI for anyone who doesn't know..... SKZ's song, WHY?, is an OST for this Japanese drama: https://www.fujitv.com/drama/rerevenge/ The members got to personally meet with one of the drama's main actors, Akaso Eiji, who told them he really likes their music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_fJQAAJ8EI Akaso Eiji also got to see one of their live performances.

2024-11-16 20:17:32 +0000 UTCThey don’t sleep is my only guess. Because they also are performing and in shows and making skz code content. Like how? I love Why! It was my first “new” Stray Kids as a baby stay. 🥰 Saiyan is my favorite from the Giant album. Can’t believe they are releasing another CB already haha. My wallet. 💸

2024-11-16 19:55:33 +0000 UTCYay. So happy that you guys are finally getting into this. I am also glad that it's getting more attention now because truly it's amazing OST. I don't know what it is about their Japanese covers or their Japanese tracks in general, but they always hit so hard. Also D'some you look so cute with your beanie. Oh yeah, Binnie delivered some iconic bars in this. I absolutely love that. We got a 3-minute 40 seconds song. Because truly everything has been so short. I need longer songs. That is a very good question D'some because I also haven't seen the series but I also understand how this could very much be just a stray kids song. Like a song that they wrote that just worked well for the show like I could definitely see that happening as well with this one. HAN-C I LOVE HUS HAT TOO! Wait is that orange or red? I thought it was red. But Han-C said orange. You know what I can see it being red orange. I absolutely love that you are obsessing over changbin's line calling people trash and hypocritical because when the song first came out that is what every other stay who actually listened to it at the time also obsessed over. That and Seungmin's line in the bridge. Yes, when they do their tours in Japan, they play their Japanese songs. I didn't know that this was a thing, but apparently they're only allowed to play their Japanese music in Japan. Like they can't play it anytime they leave Japan and do concerts anywhere else. So like we will never get to see the song why performed in Korea or America. We won't be able to get to see the song giant performed in Korea or America and like honestly that's kind of selfish of Japan. I don't understand why that's a thing or why that happens but like low key annoyed about it. So we have to live off of very short fan cams of songs and moments from their concerts. Honestly, I'm surprised that they're going to be streaming this dominate Japan tour on beyond live. But I'm excited about it. But they won't have a restreaming of it. And I'm like you know what I guess a win is a win 😹.
