I’m gonna start talking about twice but like critically from a consumers standpoint so...

Okay so going forward with the Twice Republic records thing everyone wants them to do cute concepts again but I want to know why?

Fancy you and Feel special we’re (to me) two of the best twice mini albums and two of the best Kpop mini albums released this generation

A part of me feels like some Onces want cute concepts back for marketability.

I understand, we’re used to All K!lls, and song of the year awards, and breaking sales records

However with last years releases the focus wasn’t on the girls and how cute they were and how catchy the songs are. Write ups last era were all about Twice’s technical ability

Twice has always put out amazing B-sides and the songs written by the members are some of the best. I honestly feel like people recognizing that is really something twice needs

So now that we’re going for a bigger push in the U.S. audiences that don’t know anything about Kpop won’t really vibe well with things like DTNA or Yes or Yes

Yes this may be due to implicit bias towards Asian artists die to preconceived notions and sexism and I feel like they or any other artist shouldn’t have to bend to those things

However I just feel like the current musical landscape and consumers need A sound like Feel Special
