Asian Groups- Thai Girl Group

Here is the first Asian Groups post of the year! (It's been quite a while since my previous one in September last year!) If you're new to the blog, it's a series featuring groups from Asian countries. Today's post is about Thai girl group VIIS. :)

The group is signed to Thai record label GNEST and originally consisted of 5 members- Atom (real name Pariya Piyapanopas), Cheers (Kotchaphan Kitkrailard), Plaifah (full name Plaifah Siraacha), Tara (Anantara Gibson) and Sonya (Sonya Proud Beeson). 

Some of the girls had previous experience in the entertainment industry before debuting. Cheers was a contestant on The Voice Kids Thailand in 2019 and Plaifah became a member of girl group TRIXX (now inactive) which was formed on the reality show The Next Boy/Girl Band Thailand in 2019. Atom started out as an actress in the web series Social Death Vote.

Atom announced that she was leaving last month, due to health reasons. She has still take part in group activities into the early part of this year but just posted a farewell video on Instagram.

VIIS debuted with the digital single Barbie (Oops! Oops!) in September 2023. To date they have released 3 more digital singles- Don't Mind, Thoughtless, MIRROR MIRROR and CHOP CHOP (in 2023 and 2024). They brought out their debut studio album LOVE & LOST in January 2025.

VIIS have also released 4 special singles- Don't Mind (Special Version) in 2023, Boom Boom Boom in 2024, and Thai title (I think "Go ahead and ask her out" in English) and Flirt in 2025. In addition, they collaborated with Thai actor and rapper Gulf Kanawut on the single The Great Celebration in 2023 and on a single last year with Thai singer and actor TIGGER and Thai boy group PERSES.

 

Barbie (Oops! Oops!)

Barbie (Oops! Oops!) was the group's debut single, which was released in September 2023 and later included on their debut album LOVE & LOST. It's an upbeat pop song about moving on after the end of a relationship. It's mostly Thai language with a few English lyrics.

Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on YouTube for English subtitles! :)  

 


MIRROR MIRROR

MIRROR MIRROR was VIIS' 4th single and is also on LOVE & LOST. It's about love and draws on the theme of fairytales. I like the breakdown around 2.35 mins and the way the song goes a bit more "rocky" afterwards!

It's a mix of Thai and English lyrics. English subtitles available!  

 



CHOP CHOP

CHOP CHOP was the group's 5th single (another one from LOVE & LOST) and came out in October 2024. It's also a mix of English and Thai lyrics.

 

 

Thai title (Flirt)

The English title of this song is Flirt. I believe it's a cover of a single by the Thai singer Nok Lamyong/Lamyong Nongninhao who sings Luk Thung (Thai country music). VIIS member Tara wrote a rap for the song.

Flirt was released in June last year and is an all-Thai language song. This is the visualiser video. There are no English subtitles on this one.

 


I think this is the original music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFtCmpnvQn8

 

I believe Flirt was VIIS' most recent single, although they did upload a dance practice video for another song (it translates as something like "Just a little pain...") on 5th December. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-eyXf5JcdM

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences. The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the D...
