In 30 seconds: APRIL

Dream Candy, Muah!, Snowman and Tinker Bell hold the sweet early years, while Oh! my mistake and LALALILALA sound considerably more refined.

Start from the later singles; they are easier to like, and the early ones make more sense afterwards.

    Tinker Bell -Japanese ver.- opened a Japanese route, and Oh! my mistake left a city-pop-leaning signature song that late arrivals reach for.

KPOP DISCOVER's APRIL note

DSP Media sent APRIL out in August 2015, a girl group that ended as a six-piece. The brightness and cool air drifting off the debut work Dream Candy is exactly the meaning packed into the name, the start of spring, and the early Tinker Bell, Snowman and Muah! kept delivering videos and songs built on a fairy-like prettiness.

Three songs to put through your ears first: Oh! my mistake, LALALILALA and Dream Candy. Oh! my mistake has a texture leaning slightly towards city pop, which makes it work as a way in for late arrivals. LALALILALA and Now or Never show the polished pop and stage presence of later APRIL in a single sheet, and starting there makes the change sharp when you go back to the early songs.

From the lineup formed when Chaekyung and Rachel joined in 2017 came a stretch that layered fairy-tale storytelling over aching melody, through Mayday, Take My Hand, The Blue Bird and the work they named for the month itself. In 2018 a Japanese version of Tinker Bell opened Japan, and after LALALILALA and Now or Never set out the finished later form in 2020, activity closed in 2022. Dream Candy, then Oh! my mistake, then LALALILALA covers the early purity, the city-pop-leaning signature song and how complete the later pop became.

Editors' take Dream Candy / Oh! my mistake / LALALILALA — the change from a pure spring to a polished pop, across 3 songs from a DSP Media six-piece.

Japan activity score

KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 124/ 210 groups

No. 124 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 59%)

  • 2Japanese releases
  • 5Japan-related tracks
  • 0Members from Japan
  • 0Official Japanese accounts

The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
