should i make this into a spotify playlist. is this something that would actually enrich people's lives. Lololol
My immediate thought, except I'm on Deezer. So, if that's alright with you, Imma switch apps right now :3 [Edit] : you know, coincidentally, last song I was listening to was animal farm by bibi ^^ thought it was funny
ayzrulesOP
i've never heard of that app but of course you are MORE than welcome to make your own playlist there too!!!
and yessss hahaha thank you for that suggestion on discord! i started making this list and every kpop song i knew just magically disappeared from my head ngl LOL
It's just like spotify except for french (although it might have been bought, I don't know, but the origin is french) I did the playlist, I can share it with you if you want, apparently I can export it in a way that can be imported to spotify - the magic of technology. Although, I could not find New Moon by cosmix, I don't know why, maybe deezer does not have it...? But I find that very weird. Of course, I'm happy my very limited knowledge of kpop could be of use 😁😁
ayzrulesOP
Ohh that would be lovely if you wanted to share the link for other French users on the site! And yeah COSMIX looks super nugu from the youtube channel lol i don't know if they have their stuff up on spotify either
Important Notice: i will shortly publish a book called "jopping" so i can add it to this list in honor of the extreme literary prowess of SM Entertainment and the act of "jumping" and "popping" at the "same time", please stand by thank you to @demon and @brandanadei for the genius idea of honoring this seminal piece of music
I love a very specific niche list omg
thank you thank you, i hope you will be happy to learn that my kpop chat has tracked down songs called "twilight", "breaking dawn", and "eclipse" for this list 💪 we are currently plumbing the most extreme depths of kpop knowledge for a song called "new moon"
now THIS is what I mean when I say community supports community !!! 🤩
As a K-pop fan AND a passionate book lover, when notbillnye comments HERE, that’s how you KNOW 🥺🥹🫶🏽
Would these count??
- Into the Magic Shop by James R. Doty
- Fake Love by Nova Gibson
ayzrulesOP
thanks for the suggestions!!!
I-dle 'Tomboy' = Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir I-dle 'Revenge' = Revenge Itzy 'Girls will be Girls' = Girls will be Girls OR Girls Will Be Girls: Dressing Up, Playing Parts and Daring to Act Differently LISA (Ft Doja Cat, RAYE) 'Born Again' = Born Again
Some suggestions of books that share names - not inspired by! Lisas 'Born Again' watergate scandal book connection is a wild one.
ayzrulesOP
the watergate book is so fucking funny lmaooo thank you ava!
I cracked up when I found it, the more outrageous the better
I saw this list, was delighted by how hyperspecific it is, and then browsed the comments thinking surely it does not get more hyperspecific.
Of course it does.
the way I saw this list title and came looking in here for Lucifer 🔍🥸
that song is FIRE honestly, would love to include it here! do you know of a book called lucifer? i tried searching but PB didnt give me anything lol
I saw some comics by Holly Black and Mike Carey I believe, but those sounded like they were extensions or spin-offs from Gaiman's Lucifer from Sandman. Not sure if you wanted that in, but that's an option! I'll skim around for more 2nd gen song titles and will report back on my findings 🫡
Girls Generation — Shine by Jessica Jung BTS – What I Leave Behind by Alison McGhee Red Velvet — The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed TWICE — To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han BlackPink — Dealing in Dreams by Lilliam Rivera ITZY – When We Were Magic by Sarah Gailey
ayzrulesOP
Oh!!! Do these groups have songs named after the books?
Actually I'm not sure those are just some I googled
I don't think BTS has any songs with that title. They do have an extensive discography, but I feel I would remember it if they did.
Oh my god I’m obsessed with this and patiently awaiting the jopping book
ayzrulesOP
i am very grateful for your support, my current pitch for this book is to have pages with one word only, which will alternate between "jumping" and "popping" in demonstration of how one could be "jopping", because "when we jumping and popping we jopping" i hope this is not too avant-garde of an approach to literature, i only aim to preserve the profound artistic vision of SM Entertainment 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Honeymoon - BAP = Honeymoon - James Patterson Cinderella - CNBLUE = Cinderella Days Gone By - DAY6 = Days Gone By (Walking Dead Vol 1) Red Queen - IU = Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard And I think COSMIX has one called New Moon if you're still looking. I'm sure I have 3428903 more but start with those lol
ayzrulesOP
Oooh thank you so much for these, super helpful!!
this is a really fun list!! some of these are a total surprise hahah
Maybe “CRAZY” by LE SSERAFIM? I think there’s a book for that one out there?
nmixx passion fruit!! there’s a book in the PB search with that title 🙈
OMG NMIXX MENTION (i love them sm)
wooo thanks demon 😈
this is incredible
i am OBSESSED and i await the jopping book 🙂↕️🙂↕️
ayzrulesOP
THANK YOU JOPPING MUCH FOR SUPPORTING MY WRITING CAREER I AM HOPING TO IMMINENTLY BECOME A BIG BOY THROWING 3 STACKS 💖❤️💯
we jumping we writing! we jriting!
oh my gosh 🤣 I love this!
I made the corresponding playlist, this link should work on multiple platforms like spotify, deezer, youtube etc... But I've never tested it though : https://link.deezer.com/s/31vlrnhw3xvqxIifMWGEb
ik the sherlock stories have separate titles but i think that works?
ayzrulesOP
omg i completely forgot about that! i love sherlock the song so much i forgot sherlock the books existed!
genuinely one of the BEST lists i’ve seen! wowwwww i LOVEEEEE
ayzrulesOP
oh my gosh hahahaha i'm so very flattered that you think so highly of my silliness!! ❤️❤️❤️
book rec: hush, hush by becca fitzpatrick song rec: hush by everglow
(OG everglow we miss u sm)
ayzrulesOP
omg yes WHAT A BOP (and rip everglow for real!)
I feel like such an old man when it comes to kpop i don’t recognize half of the popular groups anymore 😭 i need a primer but VIXX’s Hyde is inspired by The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde…they also did a 3-album greek mythology inspired project that was definitely inspired by the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice but I don’t honestly know how you would count that
ayzrulesOP
Omg hahaha I was just listening to VIXX on and on and thinking about the therapy lyrics 😂 honestly I’m having a hard time keeping track these days too…it seems like once you take your attention away for even 0.3 seconds, a million new songs and groups have come out in kpop!
SHINee also has "Romeo+Juliette" and "Juliette" (hoo!) on the Romeo EP 😁 (There's also "Quasimodo", but idk if it counts since it's not a direct match.) I'll be following your initiative and writing the Woof Woof book. Perhaps even The Rizzness! (taemin what the fuck)
So glad to be inspiring a new generation of literary geniuses, absolutely cannot wait to read all about the quality or state of possessing rizz! 💯🤓
First of all thank you for this glorious list! I stumbled upon it rn and immediately had to think of Odyssey by RIIZE!! I mean, yeah, that's a perfect fit ig. I also found a ton of books under the title "Tunel Vision" by ITZY or many romances for "Say My Name" by ATEEZ, you can choose one of them if you want to… 😅 There's also a book called "Eternal Sunshine" by LJ Shen which fits the ATEEZ song :)
ayzrulesOP
Omg hell yeah thank you for these! Hahaha glad you enjoy my silly list 🙂↕️
