PINK CRES. - "Roulette" PINK CRES has finally grown up. I know it seems odd to say that a pop group consisting of 24 to 27 year old women has "grown up," but that's how I feel listening to "Roulette," the A-side of PINK CRES's major label debut single. Whereas "Tokyo Confusion" was an inspired … Continue reading Always Bet on PINK

PINK CRES. — “Tokyo Confusion” single
Not sure how this release passed me by -- this being the Foremost English Language PINK CRES Blog, and all -- but I'm glad I found it. I'm happy to report that PINK CRES has finally arrived to the current day music scene!

The K-pop R&B that PC toyed with on crescendo is back, and once again it's a bit dated, although perhaps not so much as before. It's a nice hard-R&B stomper with a catchy chorus and … Continue reading PINK CRES – “Etcetera” Video

So, “Miyabi’s new group”. That’s what we were calling it for over a year, including five months after the audition winners were announced. Hell, even Miyabi herself got in on the joke, calling it “Miyabi Factory”. A year-and-a-half to name a new unit featuring one of H!P’s more storied idols? Who the hell is running … Continue reading PINK CRES. crescendo
