That's the Grammys for you - they've done this to Black artists since the beginning, and then the Latin Grammys were created at that music was rising. This is just the latest iteration to keep artists of color from winning in the main categories...

[sophie @thvchapters]

the timing of a new “asian pop” category while a major asian act is having one of the most successful albums globally really exposes the problem: it’s segregation and not inclusion.

when non western artists are still underrepresented in major categories, it doesn’t feel like recognition for the asian music market, but containment. they deserve to win, but they cannot, so let’s give them a candy that excludes them a bit further. at least it looks pretty, right?

it’s unfortunate how the “how are you so shameless” line from aliens always hits.

@flowerworkpath Aww that cute 🥺 the chatting breaks during concerts are a kpop staple that I'm glad BTS have kept (makes for a good break from choreo and great for connecting with the audience) 🥺

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@junieskate Aww that's lovely. Makes sense why Aiba asked, Arashi's leader is the oldest, and I think several of the jpop boy groups from that era had the oldest member as the leader. I was surprised to find out Joon was the middle child!

@namunamu_desu Final kick being on beat too 🤭😭😭

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@cypherrrpartV Such a banger, one of my favorite demos from Proof (and since it was never released I bet it's lost to memory for a team that forgot that they performed On multiple times 😔)

[Mel @rhythmelia]

Any chance of doing a version that includes the MV outro? That haunting outro is my favorite part and isn't included in the official instrumental alas 😔

[dan⁷ @rkivetannie]

swim already has an official instrumental.

@ryuminating Maybe a random post to comment in but I think this is your most recent one for the most recent Weverse live, just wanted to say thank you so much for your hard work translating in the moment! Oh man the Tannies dropped so much info during it! 💜

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@BTS7pavedthegay @derangedvminie If they follow the Kim Seokjin school of nonsense and brazen cheating and rules lawyering, absolutely 🤣🤣 for reference, please recall the Run Seokjin episode 14 with Jonathan doing the MMA fighting, especially after the 26 minute mark 🤣🤣🤣

@Cute_Pie777 @cuntfortannies HIS VISION OF WHAT A CRAYFISH DOES 😭😭

@Meowliyy835 @hansa_dul_set Lol is it? He did attend college at Stanford, the way he writes feels like how I do and I'm a probably too-online millennial Bay Area native lmao

@creambunkoo *soft gasp*

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@creambunkoo Oh noes I must clutch those honey thighs (that I am reaffirming with my whole chest in 2026)

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@dashydefiance Thank you for sharing! I struggle to ever find (subbed) Japanese content before it gets taken down, this is so silly and delightful!

@feraljk Stanford University, Palo Alto! I'm gonna try for it but I absolutely dread the parking lot that El Camino and Page Mill and all the lil campus roads are going to become -_-

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@dx93b98c @trinhers If you're ever on reddit, the bangtan sub has an ongoing pinned thread at the top talking about eco ideas for freebies so we can make connections with other while reducing waste! (Basically not giving away things that just end up in the garbage)

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@creambunkoo Fabulous 😍 also a realtime demonstration of how the singing techniques/styles/delivery you might use in musicals really differs from pop music. Man I love hearing his vibrato and how full and round he can make his voice sound 😍

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@creambunkoo Delightful to watch how hard they work and also the zooming around like a pack of ducklings to stay out of frame (lol the director really didn't have to make the one take that hard but they all went hard for it and the results are amazing)

[Mel @rhythmelia]

@creambunkoo Thank you for your feelings 💜 reminded me to go watch the BangtanSubs English subbed video of the behind the scenes of the Save Me MV shoot again.
