IZ*ONE 2nd Japanese Single [Buenos aires] (2019/06/26)

this is confusing. i thought produce centers are fix

 

inb4 they get announced to be Visit Argentina 2019 ambassadors
(they'll hav lots of good meat to eat at least! Kwangbae will be overjoyed )

 

Well I happened to re-watch Pd48 ep.12 yesterday and they do say rank no.1 will be IZONE's 'first center'. So it's definitely possible we get different center next time around too. And this song... I loved Suki to Iwasetai but this one is on the opposite end of spectrum of what I prefer. Also the dance is too kakoii for it's own good.

 

Now that I saw the shoe, I'm confident, I know the concept of the costume. It's fashion terrorism. Glee Monsters were in street wears but theirs had same vibe and were mix&match. Someone got them in various styles and mix&unmatch.

You may watch the whole(?) Shibuya Note show here.

The choreo is pretty much La Vie 2.0. I think it's safe to guess the choreographer is the same Chae Dasom. I wished it had Latino flair to it.

La Vie en Rose - French
Violeta - Spanish

Voulez-vous - French
Te que bien - Spanish

If IZ's next Korean comeback has Russian title, will the lyric of its next Japanese comeback contain French, Spanish and Russian phrases?

Someone made a thread on Buenos first performance video on Pantip and every comments complained on the costume.
"Did my Yen fight with the staff? She had no solo line, never in the center and got neon aerobic dance costume."
- "The center spot wasn't needed. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She shone so bright"

"Looked alike they came straight from Tesco."

etc.

I can't remember which thread I saw this in, but I saw some people arguing about Minju being the center instead of Wonyoung. One of them said that Wonyoung didn't take off as much as some of the other Korean members in Japan. I just wanted to say that, even if she's the group's center, Japan never chose the center or lineup, so it's only fair that someone more popular in Japan gets to be center once, especially since we're going by the AKB way of things

 

If they are, wouldn't they rather make Sakura as center?

 

^
They have 2 more years to make it happen.

 

how da fq did this song got stuck in my head, lol. i was like humming buenos aires~ buones aires~ at work, didnt realize until a coworker pointed it out to me and ask me what i like about argentina so much

 

Good point. I think they're really trying to push the Korean members though

Rap, high notes, AkiP's team really follow the korean way now
.
Well I mean it's not bad at all. I like it. And as usual, the most unusual part (in this case the "Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires") will easily stuck in your head

 

Need to hear official ver for further judgement. But man, the rap part is kinda messy IMO.

 

there's an amazing dance break coming after the rap part

 

For your information, the composer is the one who composed Yamapi's Daite Senorita (and some Koda Kumi's songs!). So rather than Kpop, I think it sounds more like JE Idol's songs -or maybe Koda Kumi's?

 

The song actually not bad at all, I addicted to the Buenos Aires part already, but that rap part... like bruh

 

For what reason? The member most loved among J-WIZ1 is Chaewon and Minju comes in close second. Chaewon's merch sold out fastest followed by Minju. Their hi-touch slots also sold out about as fast as Sakura, right?

Maybe, the absurd lyric too? It's not a typical K-pop song without absurd lyric.

When I heard only the intro music, I thought it sounded K-pop but, after I heard singing lines, I started to question. Something about the melody sounded kinda J-pop. Also, the key was lower.

 

that rap is a mess wow
