"tOgether fOrever" - Kep1er                       Live performance      I think this is one of Kep1er's best b-sides to date, so it's a bit of a shame that it's a Japanese release. To me, this song feels like a quintessential k-pop girl group song with a little of Kep1er's flair. The acoustic guitar in the verses is a nice touch that I really appreciate. The chorus is   pretty and uplifting, but with a tinge of melancholic nostalgia that adds some emotional weight. Then, a nice dance break takes the place of the bridge and adds energy to the song. The instrumental for the dance break is pretty cool and fits Kep1er's sound well.  Kep1er is still set to disband this upcoming July, but I'm sure this lovely song will remain in Kep1ians' hearts "forever and ever and ever."

     As I said at the end of the last post, this was the hardest list for me to make. There were nearly 40 songs I wanted to put on this list, even with the 1 song per artist rule. So, there were quite a few songs I loved that didn't make it, unfortunately. That also means it was extremely difficult to order these songs, even without set rankings. Basically, I love all the songs on this list, so the order of this list is pretty changeable depending on my mood. ---------------------------------------- Rules 1 song per artist per list No set rankings (order is generally good to best) ---------------------------------------- " 기괴한 이야 Bizarre Story: The Game" - PinkFantasy             Official dance video (English subs available)             Music show performance      Not sure if anyone recalls my 2021 top 20 lists, but I placed PinkFantasy's "Poison"...
