Last summer I wrote a post featuring two Filipino groups, boyband SB19 and girl group BINI. You can read that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/08/filipino-groups.html
I've also written about other Asian groups (East/Southeast Asian). I thought it would be fun to make a regular (or perhaps semi-regular like C-pop Saturday!) series, so today I'm featuring the Filipina girl group KAIA. :)
KAIA is a 5 member P-pop (Pinoy pop) group formed by ShowBT Philippines (like SB19) in 2021. The group name is from the Cebuano word "Kinaiya", a noun that describes your inner character. The fandom name is ZAIA.
The members are leader Angela (full name Charlotte Angela Caperas Hermoso), her twin sister Charice (Charice Andrea Caparas Hermoso), Charlotte (Charlotte Erica Fransdel Pendon Secretario), Sophia (Sophia Alexandra Ogayon Mercado and Alexa (Alexandra Pelagio Averilla). There was also a pre-debut member called Joanna Marie Lara, who left the group in early 2022.
The girls released their pre-debut single KAYA in December 2021 and then made their official debut in April 2022, with the single BLAH BLAH. They have also brought out 3 more singles- Dalawa, TURN UP and their latest, 5678.
KAYA
Here is the official performance video for KAYA, their pre-debut single. It's a mixture of Filipino (or Cebuano?) and English. Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on YouTube for English subtitles. :)
BLAH BLAH
And this is the music video for BLAH BLAH, their official debut single. English subtitles also available! :)
Also check out the official lyric video for their new single 5678, released yesterday (16th March): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgMqUxnBd5w
