Unwrapping Hyukoh

Yesterday we were chatting on the poster for Hyukoh. Seeing them not releasing any official merchandise whereas they really have great artworks is just hhhmmmm... And then one of the group members pointed out on the poster lyric book that the band put inside the album.

Guess what?

Me being me, I bought both 23 and 24 last year or last two years, I myself also couldn't remember. Just because I don't want to hurt the album (Oh my hearteuuu..😭 😭😭), I didn't open both albums. They were still wrapped and sealed nicely until yesterday. They said the lyric book was actually the poster. They posted it on the group.

And me being me was like, really? I never knew that. After I got home from work, I was still in dilemma whether or not to unwrap the albums. Both were kept nicely in a box. I wrapped it nicely so that nothing could happen to the album.

Gosh, that's so me 👀👀👀

I calmed myself, clear my mind and started to unwrap the box. And held the album in my hand, with the albums were still in sealed.

The box

Then I started to unwrap them.

😲😲😲😲

My heart! Oh my heart! Gosh. I was feeling so torn doing the unwrapping session. These how the albums looked like, the lyric book and also the posters.

Album 23

Album 24

Looking good there, huh.. 😏😏😏😏

They are all horizontal which is quite amused for me. Never came across such poster in such position. The artworks looking great too. Abstract. And the lyric. The fonts.. 👍👍👍

So this is how they looked like after unwrapped. Congratulation to myself for making such a brave move... Just to see the poster. 

The artiste who designed the cover album, I mean the artworks of both albums, you may follow the account on Twitter. Am not quite sure if am allowed to do this. 

This is the account: nemonan / @nemonannemo

Not sure whether the person is a he or she. But he/she posted such a nice artwork there. 

RM Mono: Playlist *update*

I just finished listen to his latest playlist. I wouldn't want to called it mixtape since he crossed the word and replaced it with playlist. So.... I need time to listen to it before I can say something. For now, please listen and enjoy. Will come back soon. See ya!

Reminder: This is not a review and am not an ARMY. Just that I've been following their music for quite some time. And mixtape is something that you should not missed out when it comes to music. And I just noticed I never write anything on JHope's Hope World. I just randomly posted a bit on his mixtape on Twitter more than here. Will take time to do one too.

*I'm back*

I posted this in 2018, October and only came back here today. How many months?... Gosh. Seriously. I ditched this blog for few months because I lost my interest in writing. Talking about Mono playlist, am glad this one station radio plays tokyo on their station. *clap clap*

It's my favorite on Mono. As for Hope World, am constantly listening to it.
When I feel something deeper, I listen to Agust D. When I feel light and need something to cheer me up, I listen to Hope world. And when I need to calm myself, I listen to Mono. They are all doing well.

And with just 5 days left before BTS comeback, aigooo... I watched Persona trailer. I guess because I grew up in the 90's, hip hop is just something that always drawn me. Feel so close to it. Hopefully, the album #MAP_OF_THE_SOUL-PERSONA get a hit just like the Love Yourself series. Or maybe even better than before. It is something that all people around the globe is looking forward to.

BOY IN LUV for JUST ONE DAY

Errmmm. Yup. Hi. Again.

It's the last week of lecture weeks before exam starts this Saturday. Work? So far so good. Still have works to complete, but naaahhhh. I'm taking my time to spend here. Again. For the past few days, I was thinking of deleting this blog. But then, rasa sayang pulak.....

I just found out the two songs I kept on humming and sang for over the past years. I immediately added them into my playlist before I forget about it. And only today I realized the songs were by BTS. Gosh. Talking of not being an ARMY. I only know those songs and whenever I heard the songs before this, I just kept on singing and humming to them. And I would be like, whose songs are these... And never found the answer till two weeks ago. And only today I found out the title.

Boy in Luv and Just One Day. I only remember the song keep on saying say what you want say what you want and the other one, the music, the rhythm is just stucked in my brain for the past years. So whenever the song popped out, I humming to it smoothly. 😆😆😆😆😆

I went to this particular shop about two weeks ago, before Raya I think, they played both songs. So while I was looking for things to buy, I just kept on humming and singing along to the songs. And I was like whose songs are these.

And yesterday I watched this YouTube on BTS history, these two songs popped out, and I was like, owh, those songs! After all these years... After many many years humming to the songs...
Only yesterday I found out about it. 😌😌😌😌😌 When I first listened to Fire and Blood Sweat Tears, felt like I've heard these guys before. It was so good how music can bring you back to past memories... No wonder they sound familiar.

You know it's good if you know the songs but you never know the singer. Why I said this? Because you will keep on coming back to listen to the songs. And without watching the mv, you can actually enjoy more on the songs. Seriously. That's how I remember those two songs. Never watch the mv, never care who sing the songs. So whenever I heard the songs been played, automatically I humming and sing along to it. Same goes to whatever songs that I keep on repeat and listen to. I just prefer to listen without watching the mv.

OMG. Wats this? Talking on BTS. Hahahaha. Is this post dedicated to them? Nahhhhh. Just something I want to type on. If there should be any ARMYs come across this page, you guys stan the best group. Appreciate the group and keep on supporting them. And I really love how they use their fame and influence for doing project with UNICEF. It's totally a great move that every influential people should follow.

So these two will be on repeat. Hahahaha

My Discover Weekly

If you want to feel what I feel today, listen to these.

Smile

Am working on my scoring now. But keep on stopping. Thought to type something. And yes, like usual, I don't really have things to type. They just accumulate inside my chest but they just don't want to show. They don't want to come out.

I post frequently on my Twitter. Not here, not on my Facebook. Am on Spotify too now.
My Discover Weekly for this week is just superb.
Seriously.

The songs are all *thumbs up*
They made me smile, can just feel like am smiling. Gosh. After such quite sometimes. It feels warm to smile. I guess I have a reason to smile now. I almost forgot the way to smile. Those songs make me smile today. Don't know why.

Have a blessed day to whomever cross this page! May you never forget the way to smile.

Reserved Seat

Since I don't read Hangul nor fully understand Korean, I think 24: How to find true love and happiness is the best among all Hyukoh albums. But still I have my own favorites. 😊😊😊😊😊

From 23, I love all the songs. But the most love one, all time favorite would be Reserved Seat. I don't know why but somehow I can just relate to the feel. It feels darker and heavy. It feels sad. Dunno how to describe. We have different ears, different tastes in music. This is just me. 

I got my album 24 last week or last two weeks. This time the vibe is slightly different than the previous one. I watched they performed Love Ya! live on YouTube. Good to see how the vocalist looking straight at the audience while performing the song. Before this, he just looked down a lot while singing. It's a positive progress for him. To convey the message behind the song, it just perfectly fit the title Love Ya! to look at the audience while singing the song. 

Aaaaa. Reserved Seat. You have to blast the song with earphones or headphones. And listen till the end. It just so so good. You'll know what I mean. Tell me how does that make you feel.
When you love music, language is not a barrier at all. The sense, the feel, the rhythm can just pull you into the song. If you know what I mean....

Drug Restaurant

Sitting on the bed while browsing some stuffs online. Feel tired but couldn't sleep.

Listening to Drug Restaurant mini online album. Before that I was listening to their latest album POMADE. Am not sure how many times did I brag about this band on my blog.... Loving their songs especially the English album, POMADE. You guys should give it a try.

Because of that I keep on telling myself that I need and I should go to at least one of their concerts. Attending one of their Europe concert tour would be great. That kind of vibe. Their music is just great to be played somewhere in Europe, not in Korea.
