Listening to another playlist I thought there must have been a Valentine's #kpopmonday - and there was - at the time I was trying to listen to all the songs (2024?)
It's finally happening. #BTS is returning to Manila in March 2027 for their upcoming world tour. After a decade-long wait, Filipino ARMYs are getting a full-group comeback live on stage.
So, from some BTS featurettes I've seen, Godzilla was a combination of a few partial animatronics on bigature (big miniature) models, and some CG. I'm not sure what was in use for the underwater scene, but I'm going to say bigature?
(Iguanas can swim, quite well, although I'm not sure what their dive time is normally like or if this is how they swim.)
Ah, here's a much more comprehensive coverage of the various 'how it was done' for the effects shots.
EDIT: With the whole chin thing, I feel like while the iguana thing makes some sense, there was also a bit of a trend around that time with the design of a lot of dragons?
Like, I distinctly remember that being a trend in the design for dragons for a while. I want to say that was 90s to 2000s.
So, Merry Christmas to all who make Thursdays full of musical joy. I hope you get to enjoy your favourite flavour of peace and happiness today, whether you celebrate or not.
Happy #ThursdayFiveList! This week's theme is #TheNightOfTheLivingBand and I'm thinking about #KPop artists/groups who have thrived after returning from hiatus (usually because of their compulsory military service).
So here's 5 songs that brought all the comeback joy.
Rewriting my intro post in honor of being on blorbo for a year now 🎉 (and making better use of 3000 chara limit this time lol)
Hello, I'm Micah! I'm queer and go by he/they.
I'm big into k-pop, j-pop, j-rock, and v-kei, though I post about k-pop the most. Some groups I like: SHINee, EXO, BTS, XLOV, ILLIT, RESCENE, Perfume, Reol, f5ve, most old Hello Project groups (MiniMoni, W, ºC-ute, Berryz Koubou, etc), 0.1g no gosan, ARLEQUIN, and UNiTE.
I love visual novels, especially otome games! One day I will come back to Cupid Parasite...
Currently playing through the Ace Attorney and Project Diva series. I want to pick Persona 5 Royal (and Persona 3 Reload) back up eventually,,, My other favorite games are Rhythm Heaven, DDR, Danganronpa, and Splatoon! Also very fond of the PS Vita and 3DS era and won't shut up about it.
I collect manga! Mostly my favorites Black Butler and Sailor Moon, but also Ima Koi, Kamisama Kiss, and a few other series I got volumes of from a friend. Perhaps Fangs and Death Note in the future...
My favorite anime are also Black Butler and Sailor Moon, along with Death Parade, Love Live, and Yuri on Ice.
I very casually collect k-pop albums/merch. I have most of BTS' Korean discography, a few SHINee albums, a Jonghyun album, and a Minho poster. Eventually I want to get lightsticks for both groups and more SHINee members' solo albums.
Also got hit with the yaoi beam so my interest in that is back in full force along with everything else. But tbh did it ever really go away?
I have a personal site now with my fanfics! Will do a write up about the Project Diva games on there eventually.
