Something strange is happening in the Music Elixir universe. Sarah shares a peculiar dream where she was Jin's girlfriend during wartime and Taehyung got a nosebleed after falling from a Segway—only for Taehyung to post about getting an actual nosebleed just days later. When the psychic portal opens between these Pisces hosts, the coincidences start flowing!
We dive deep into a Rolling Stone controversial ranking of BTS solo songs, where RM's "seoul" claims the #1 spot. Surprisingly, many tracks we gushed about during our Jin concert road trip made the top 10, including Jin's "The Astronaut" at #9 and SUGA's "Snooze" featuring Ryuichi Sakamoto and WOOSUNG of The Rose at #8. But where was V's "Love Me Again"? Some rankings left us scratching our heads.
Frustration boils over when discussing ARASHI's comeback strategy—why announce a return to the spotlight only to release content exclusively through their fan club that's closed to new members? Meanwhile, KAT-TUN plans a surprise one-night reunion concert despite having officially disbanded in March, and SUPER EIGHT secures their first-ever performance at the prestigious Nippon Budokan.
The conversation shifts to KCON LA's organizational disaster: eliminated panels, no three-day passes, endless lines, and a convention floor dominated by beauty products with barely any artist merchandise. What happened to the KCON we loved? On a brighter note, MONSTA X officially announces their new album "The X" dropping September 1st, and we reminisce about our canceled 2020 concert tickets, hoping they'll return to Boston soon.
