MAN.
people’s expectations were high and let’s just say everyone was happy this album was GREAT
this shit lowkey took over korea ?? it was number one on melon for a few weeks and the music video got 15m views in the first 24 hours !!
a lot of the other songs charted really high too , like all of the solos basically and for you !!
let’s talk abt who wrote and produced what shall we
BLOSSOM : they all took part in writing the lyrics and producing !

LIGHT : written by sooyoung produced by hyunmi and areum !
I’M YOUR GIRL : written by eunji produced by hyunmi !
DON’T TEXT ME : written by areum produced by eunji and sooyoung !
all the repackages were produced by JKW so we don’t need to go over those
WITHOUT YOU : all the members took part in lyric writing and JKW produced it (the only new song that the girls didn’t take part in producing !)
FOR YOU : all the members took part in lyric writing and the guitar is areum !
also !!! all the solos got music videos !!!!! hyunmi and areum choreographed their solos so they had performance videos and sooyoung and eunji didn’t so theirs were more just them sitting but it’s ok they were all gorgeous
can we talk about stage outfits now because i think they were lovely
the blossom stages were gorgeous there was a lot of white flowy shit
not to mention THE MAKEUP it was like dewy and shimmery they looked like fairies
the destiny stages lowkey had cowboy vibes ??? it was great either way tho
and the one stage they did of for you they each had an outfit based around their representative colours and they each designed their own outfit :( they said stylists get OUT
they all dyed their hair lmao
hyunmi’s hair was black with a sorta blueish undertone
sooyoung’s was a vv dark red
eunji had black w green highlights (think psycho era seulgi)
and areum went back to blonde ! she dyed it back to brown like two weeks into promotions though lol
so it’s like a representative colours thing !!!! it’s cute !!!!!
the day the song came out they had like a five hour vlive where they sang all their new songs live and talked a bunch
they love interacting w blossoms so much it’s so cute :(
in each album they had a signed and handwritten letter and LOOK AT THEM THEYRE SO CUTE
so basically ? their best era yet dare i say 100/10
FRUIT BASKET - BLOSSOM mv visuals
cities at night, neon lights, four girls fuckin shit up around town, and some good vibes! not much of a story attached but that’s how they wanted it!
WITHOUT YOU is a digital single released by FRUIT BASKET on may 1, 2020. there was only one music show performance, because this single was a pre release for their upcoming album, FOR YOU.
track list:
WITHOUT YOU insp
era highlights:
lol that was unexpected
literally one teaser was dropped the day the song came out so there was no preparation
there rlly isn’t much to say bc a lot of it will come later when the full album comes out but they did already share a lot of stuff !!
they confirmed that the name of the album is FOR YOU, and the album has 14 tracks, seven of which are new full group songs, four are solos, and three are repackages of older songs originally released as digital singles
so eleven new songs heck yea !!
n e ways onto the music show performance !! it was mf ethereal
they all had these light coloured flowery ruffly flowy dresses and their makeup was light n dewy n shimmery and they all had their hair down and loosely curled it was so pretty they looked so pretty they’re so pretty
hyunmi’s bangs r back ! her hair is still dark brown but longer
sooyoung dyed her hair black and brought back the bangz aswell
eunji’s hair was a sorta dark reddish like burgundy auburn situation it was pretty
and areum’s hair was brown and long !
this is gonna be cut off a lil short bc there’s not really much to talk abt !! you gotta wait another two weeks for the full album !!
FRUIT BASKET - WITHOUT YOU mv visuals
this colourful music video depicts the four girl traversing a seemingly completely empty city, possibly searching for something. maybe the thing they’re searching for is each other.
SOOYOUNG - ECLIPSE mv visuals
most of the sets are pretty minimal, but still effective and get the vibe across. red and black, imagery of an eclipsed moon, sooyoung standing on a high platform and sitting on a globe, what does it mean? the only mind that knows that is sooyoung’s, and she likes mysteries.
ASH is a mixtape written by lee sooyoung of fruit basket, named after the alias she went by as an underground rapper in her late teens. it was released on april 20, 2020. the mixtape contains 7 tracks, plus one hidden track. none of the songs were promoted on any music shows, but still received success.
track list:
SATURNZ BARZ insp
ECLIPSE insp
MIRROR insp
ILJIDO insp
UHGOOD insp
TICKER TAPE insp
BUSTED AND BLUE insp
era highlights:
miss lee sooyoung. gabriella ashley lee. she SNAPPT
it was kinda unexpected she didn’t rlly talk abt it much she just uploaded a few pictures on instagram w a date and then was like “lmao here’s my mixtape”
also releasing it on 4/20 is such a sooyoung thing to do
every single track is completely written and produced by herself !! she hasn’t rlly done that before so everyone gets to see her style i guess ? some of her music is a lil weird but it slaps so it’s cool
along with the seven tracks there was a hidden one !! you have to buy the album to find it :)
honestly it was just so refreshing to see sooyoung do something she wanted to do it was great
she didn’t wanna record a music video at first but then she decided to anyway bc filming music videos is fun
a lot of the songs were like . depressing as FUCK like damn
i mean at least she’s in a space where she feels comfortable talking about her hardships and what she’s been through and her thoughts and feelings on all of it
the mixtape recieved a lot of praise because of that !
there’s still a lot of homophobic netizens that don’t like her but she didn’t address it at all . mostly
during an instagram live she went on a lil rant about how judging someone based off of who they love is stupid because like . it’s LOVE it’s a natural thing
and that got netizens more mad but she’s sticking to her beliefs bro
she had her sister on set with her it was cute :( their interactions are the cutest we love to see sibling banter in this house
sumin was so supportive tho fr she’s honestly really proud of her older sister
overall ? god tier 100/10
A LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF is the solo debut of kim areum, maknae and main vocalist of the popular girl group fruit basket. the entire song was written, composed, and produced by herself. she’s said this was the first song she ever wrote all on her own, and although it’s just a few simple ukulele chords for the most part, it took quite a while to get perfect.
track list:
a letter to my younger self insp
era info:
bro. she KILLED IT
the mv got nearly 20m views in the first 24 hours it was hyped up a lot
the song was completely in english which means more attention from western fans yea babey!!!
the song got so much attention she was asked to do a verified official lyrics and meaning video on youtube
baby getting western attention we love to see it!!
she didn’t promote this in any music shows but that’s ok it still got attention from people sharing it n stuff
man literally EVERYONE promoted this
chae definitely talked about it the most
#CHAE: THATS MY BEST FRAAAAAAAAND
ofc lai talked abt it too
“support my girlfriend and her new song pls :)”
areum uploaded a studio version and at the end there’s bloopers where areum is laughing at lai who’s sitting off screen
and then when the camera points at him he’s just staring at her with SUCH LOVE AND ADORATION it was the softest moment ever
himari and joowon from glass heart uploaded a cover too !! it was cute as hell @xox-crtv
ofc knowing areum she uploaded a million videos on the fruit basket youtube channel,, vlogs of her working on the song and the music video, the studio version of the song, and jus her hanging out with the girls waiting for the song to come out
this was the softest era ever
areum was so excited the whole time bc she had never put out music before and she worked so hard on it :(
she went on live right after it came out and she cried bc people actually liked it :( :((
she tried singing it on live for them but she was crying so it wasn’t her best which made her cry more because her fans deserve better
eunji literally had to come in the room and calm her down, and then eunji sang it with her it was so cute
bestest era. softestest era. 10/10
