"Year 7 Class 1" Are The Most Adorable Rookies Ever!

Year 7 Class 1

Just before I made the plunge into K-pop, I was really getting into the 7 Member Girl Group FAIRIES with their song "Hero", as well as EXILE sister group HAPPINESS (also a 7 member act) with their song "Happy Talk"- both of these acts featured these perfectly crafted pure pop tunes, and if it wasn't for the advent of the Hallyu Wave, they might have gone on to become fave groups of mine! 
 But then my musical interest became focused on K-pop (ironically enough, it was on a forum for Fairies that I was introduced to KARA which of course was the group that began my Kpop addiction!), and it wasn't until CRAYON POP came out with their song "Bing Bing" that I remembered how much I loved and MISSED the J-POP sound.  AH, I was hearing those sweet pop perfect tunes again!

And now we have another new 7-member rookie group Year 7 Class 1 with the SAME jangly j-poppy sound that I heard in Crayon Pop, Happiness and even Fairies from before! The first song I heard from the girls was the fun "White Wind", a song already great in itself, but it was the frenetic and energetic choreography for the song  that just captivated me- (very much in the Crayon Pop vein) with all the cute synchronized shuffling, jumping, twirling and skipping, ya just gotta smile!

With piqued interest, I looked up their earlier songs, and their debut song from last year "Oppa Virus" just knocked me out with its OH! SO J-POPPY STYLINGS! Reminding me so much of songs like Nana Mizuki's "Pop Master", this song just makes you feel good with its positive charm! 

Man, the sheer happiness and joy they're exuding in these perfs surely shows you why I consider them the best of the new rookie groups! Definitely going to keep an eye out on THESE gals!
