i gave KATSEYE a comeback

Instructions

_____________________________________________DISCLAIMER! I am not spreading hate about pinky up, nor am I spreading hate about KATSEYE. You are entitled to your opinion, and if you are a fan of pinky up, that is okay! we just have differing opinions. hello everyone! today i'm giving KATSEYE a fan made comeback in honor of pinky up's release, because I don't rlly agree with the musical direction that they're going in! 1. TITLE katseye's album names tend to deal with opposites/things in contrast to each other (SOFT and STRONG, BEAUTIFUL and CHAOS). so for this album, and reflecting the different sound i'd give it, I decided to name it "FANTASY IN REALITY". the concept of this album would have to deal with romanticizing life, making every day a fairytale, with a lot of princess, royalty, and disney references. the album cover is the thumb! 2. ALBUM DETAILS FANTASY IN REALITY would be a mini album, and it would have five songs on it. it would release on april 24, 2026. this day is a Friday, which i've learned is a good date to release in order to get on US charts, which is where KATSEYE is trying to be as a global group. additionally, this date happens to fall in the middle of national princess week, furthering the concept of the album! FANTASY IN REALITY's "official" album colors would be dusty pink, white, and black. 3. SONGS FANTASY IN REALITY would have five songs on it 1. CHARM the title track of the FANTASY aspect, CHARM would be a song about falling in love so fast, it feels like you're under a spell. it would also be a cute callback to the dream charms that KATSEYE has, and maybe they could do a merch collaboration and have the MV also be a disguised ad for the charms! there would be a lot of strings, winds, and classical-sounding instruments, making this song (at least its instrumental) sound like a GFRIEND song. 2. Call ME the title track of the REALITY aspect, Call ME would be a song about confidence and being ready for whatever comes next. it would be electropop with hints of synthpop, sounding a bit like "la di da" by EVERGLOW or "the boots" by GUGUDAN. 3. Fake Friends this song would be pop rock, with a positive message despite its title. the message of the song would revolve around knowing how bad a fake friend is for you, and hoping that your friends never have to experience that. the song would sound something like "pretty isn't pretty" by olivia rodrigo or "allergy" by i-dle. 4. Rich this song would be R&B, with a similar vibe to songs by SZA or Tyla. it would be about someone who thinks they're better than everyone (main hook: "that's rich"). 5. Like Me Like this song, the closer to the EP, would be uplifting dance-pop akin to Katy Perry or Ke$ha. the message of the song would be about accepting yourself with all your flaws, and liking yourself even though you're imperfect. "yeah, I like me like that". 4. PROMOTIONS the first hint at this new era would be when katseye changes their logo color to a bright pink. the first teaser photos would show each member's head, with a crown on their head representing who they are. the largest gem in each crown would be replaced by their dream charm. after this, an album trailer would be released, with only the initials of the album, "F I R" in the title. the video would show the members of KATSEYE (without Manon for now, trust she appears) living regular lives; they go to the bank, the grocery store, and other comparatively boring places. the color schemes are muted and lifeless. then, we see Manon holding her dream charm (which is a tiara). she puts on the tiara, and the colors become brighter and more saturated. smaller tiaras appear on each of the girls' heads, and they resume normal lives but seem happier in a way, as if they've found a way to make these boring tasks fun. at the end of the trailer, it goes to black screen, and we hear Manon saying the line on the album cover: "if princesses aren't real, who am I?" and the initials of F I R flash on the screen. soon after this, the album officially gets announced. two sets of concept photos are released, one for "FANTASY" and one for "REALITY". the FANTASY photos show the members in clouds, as if they're flying, with al while the REALITY photos show them in nature, with dark and saturated colors. after the album releases, the members do the standard music show run for one or two weeks. then, they run the FANTASY NEAR YOU event, where tickets are hidden in various cities all over the world that are redeemable for hand-signed albums. after the promotion cycle for FANTASY IN REALITY ends, the members announce the KATSEYE IN REALITY tour, a small Europe-only tour. this would increase their reach after the BEAUTIFUL CHAOS tour which was only north america. I hope you enjoyed reading through this projects! outfit ideas for music show promotions, as well as the new katseye logo for this comeback are included inside
