Aaaaa I was using lastfm years ago too! I even tried logging into my old account, but it seems it's been purged lol. Pity, I'd love to see all the anime/vocaloid music I used to listen to 24/7 :') But also!! That's still impressive as heck, I've made my account in December last year (just in time to loop the fuck out of Ateez's Will) and had a couple of phases where I'd just listen to spotify's genre playlists, but I'm still at 964 artists... I wish my music taste was more diverse, but branching out is a bit tiresome for me OTL

I think the first Onewe song I've ever heard was The End of Spring, and then similarly I found the "Rain to Be" album and fell in loooooove. I love how they can be both dramatic and happy/silly ("Veronica"! 💗) And of course I loved the OFF ROAD single, all three tracks were a delight. ROCK MUSIC MY LOVE.

XDH MY LOVES their first couple of releases were wonderfully, hmm, how to put it? Wacky? Eccentric? They made you think "oh, whoever made this certainly loves Tim Burton's movies" lol. I gotta say I prefer their later music which lost a bit of that kooky style but gained in passion! Livelock is my beloved album of theirs, I can honestly recommend every single song on that album with special recommendation of "Freddy", "Bad Chemical" (the synths are Evil) and "PLUTO", which never fails to tear my chest open in the final chorus! Deadlock (technically the earlier album) is great too, it also explores different feelings without losing a cohesive sound -- I particularly like "Freakin' Bad", "Bicycle", and "Good enough". They released their first full album this year, and it's yet another top to bottom bangerfest (that sounded dirty.) -- "No Matter", "Little Things", "Money On My Mind", "until the end of time"... "Night of Fireworks" has almost Onewe-y lightness to it hehe. And then there's LIVE and FALL, and half of the mini is pre-release singles, but my faves are "LOVE and FEAR", "FEELING NICE" and "Boy Comics". Aaaaand that's how I ended up recommending you half of their discography, sorry ^^;;;;;

I'm not as well-versed in Taemin's discography but every once in a while I find something I haven't heard before that stays in my brain for a good couple days and refuses to leave lol ("Heaven"!). I also just realized I never gave a listen to Bones, and I told myself to check it out! Recently I've also gave a listen to someone's "SHINee BEST" playlist, and found Jonghyun's "Just for a day" -- what a lovely gem!

Ohh man I really hope "Guerrilla" will be in next year's concert setlist because I am EAGER to break that wall lol;;; Now that I think about it, Ateez remixes (the old ones on the Japanese albums in particular) are so good... Of course, Japanese "Utopia" with its guitars is a classic (to me.), and so is "Aurora", but "Promise" and "Say My Name" with Park Juwon's guitars, or the ones off the Halazia single? GENIUS. I'm listening to the concert version of "Stranger" now and ahhhh it really hits different!
