さぁ夢見ましょう♡

Soooo remember how I said in my last post that I was "sort of getting into kpop" but "just for the music" and I "have no interest in the members of BTS"? I LIED.

The backstory to this is that I desperately needed something to obsess over while I wait for the FMA live action to be released in a few months. (I'm just so excited for Yamada and I think the movie is gonna be great, okay?) Tried anime again; Nichijou is a pretty great series but nothing to obsess over. Games aren't doing it for me either. After the BTS DNA MV was dropped I was sorta feeling it? Initially I didn't think the song was as impressive as I had anticipated, but I still liked the song. Then on tumblr, someone posted the audio for the hidden track on the Love Yourself album, Sea. STRAIGHT. FIRE. I love that song so much. ;w; It pretty much sold me on BTS in general. So I decided to stop being an ~uncultured swine~ as the kids say nowadays and just stop being so goddamn stubborn about avoiding kpop. If the music is genuinely good, I'll just accept that I like it. I've been listening to literally nothing but HSJ lately anyway, so I saw this as an opportunity to find new songs. I listened to the other songs on the new album and even tried to learn the member's names. And that's when they just snuck up on me out of nowhere and pulled me into BTS hell. I don't know how or why. It just happened. I frantically tried to find a bias because let's be real, that's one of the best parts of being a fan of idol groups. Initially I thought maybe Jungkook? He seems to be the most popular. But eh, couldn't really get into him. Then I saw this performance of DNA and Namjoon's stupid red hat had me shook for days. DAYS. I think it's the way the red hat looks against his hair color or something, idk.

Buuuut then Yoongi was also at the back of my mind too. Don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but the very first time I found out about BTS was through Sakurada Dori, one of my favorite Japanese actors, who looks a lot like Yoongi according to the BTS fandom. At first I strongly denied that, but now I think he does depending on the pictures being compared. :< So yeah. Yoongi is my bias, and for kinda a dumb reason? A store that sells kpop stuff opened up close to my workplace literally the day before I really got into BTS, and so I went to check it out. They were selling pillows with pictures from the Love Yourself phonebook on them and of course my creepy ass wanted one. I was between Namjoon and Yoongi; I decided the Yoongi picture would seem slightly less creepy to anyone who sees my already creepy room haha. So then I decided to look more into him, and ugh, he's so freaking adorable. And he's so passionate about his music too. AND HIS MIXTAPE THO. A TRUE MASTERPIECE. Plus his personality is so relatable; he's just done with everything all the time and doesn't really show emotion all that much. ;///; Here's the Yoongi pillow along with the Love Yourself album and poster:



Also! Here is my ranking of the members as of now:

• Yoongi
• Namjoon
• Jungkook
• Jimin
• J-Hope
• Tae
• Jin

Though honestly, Jungkook, J-Hope, Tae, and Jimin are practically on the same level for me. Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with Jin yet so I can't say much about him other than I really like his voice. uwu;;;

So yeah, I've already sold my soul for them and it hasn't even been a week. ;w; I already own two albums, Love Yourself and You Never Walk Alone. It's SO much easier to get kpop stuff locally/on American websites than anything Japanese. Plus they put all their songs and performances on Youtube which is great. I now understand why people criticize how Japan is so old fashioned with their media. Plus subbers seem to be pretty quick, so my issue with not knowing a single word in Korean is no more. uwu

Agh I just like their music so much! It's so refreshing to hear something different. Some of my favorite songs are: (and I'm sorry for not knowing the Korean titles for some ;w; i'll link my favorite performance for the ones I've watched!)

• DNA
• Best of Me
• Sea
• Pied Piper
• MIC Drop
• Go Go
• I Need U
• Cypher 4
• Baepsae (the dance practice video was hilarious too; all I have to say is GET THAT PART YOONGI and lol at farmer!Namjoon)
• Wings
• 21st Century Girl (this dance practice is also gold; JIN IN THE HORSE COSTUME LOOOOL)
• RUN
• Blood Sweat and Tears

Sorry if I don't post much about HSJ for a while; I actually made a Yamada/HSJ instagram account to practice my Japanese but I'm feeling so anxious waiting for FMA to drop, or something new. ;w;
