AK@DW Exclusive! Highlights from the second half of January 2026

[hitokage]

Imma confess, I feel a little guilty about this wrap-up being almost exclusively sourced from Paradise Diner's collecting from the last 2+ weeks, but I've been on break, so here's the mainstream tracks from that span with my annotations and comments, and then next week, knock on wood, I'll be back to normal. But since this is already a paired down listing, there's no banner and no favorites. Not because I don't HAVE favorites, but because I already cut down the listing to major, so most of these are already well positioned.

( the listing: 39 MVs from mostly mainstream Kpop artists )

key:
