I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break at work yesterday when Rikimaru’s new album announcement popped up on Weibo. The post showed this beautiful hotel-themed packaging for his album ‘ROOM’ – deep blue boxes that looked like miniature luxury suites, complete with what appeared to be a ‘welcome gift’ for fans.
You know that feeling when you see something so beautifully designed that you just want to touch it? That’s exactly what hit me. The album packaging had this textured surface in the photos, and I found myself actually reaching toward my phone screen, imagining how the material would feel under my fingertips – smooth but with subtle ridges, like high-quality paper stock.
But here’s the thing that got me thinking – my cousin in Vancouver messaged me right after I saw the post. She’d been trying to watch the album trailer for twenty minutes, dealing with that annoying buffering circle that just spins and spins. ‘It’s like trying to watch through a foggy window,’ she texted, adding three crying emojis.
I remember when we were teenagers, she’d drag me to every K-pop concert that came to our city. Now she’s in Canada, and we can’t even properly fangirl together over new releases. The time difference is bad enough, but the geo-blocking? That’s the real mood killer.
What struck me about Rikimaru’s album concept was how personal it felt. The ‘ROOM’ theme, the invitation to check into this musical hotel – it’s supposed to create intimacy between artist and fan. But when you’re overseas, that intimate connection gets interrupted by technical barriers that make you feel like you’re standing outside in the cold, peering through a window at a warm party inside.
My cousin eventually gave up on the trailer and asked me to screen record it and send it to her. The video came through pixelated and choppy, but she still sent back a voice message squealing about how amazing the choreography looked. That’s dedication – putting up with potato-quality videos just to feel connected to the entertainment content back home.
It’s not just about missing out on album releases either. Think about all the variety shows, the behind-the-scenes content, the live streams that cut out right at the most dramatic moments. It’s like being served your favorite dish but having someone randomly take bites out of it before it reaches you.
Anyway, seeing Rikimaru’s beautifully crafted album made me realize how much effort artists put into creating these experiences for fans, and how frustrating it must be for both sides when technical limitations get in the way of that connection. The album’s called ‘ROOM’ – but for many overseas fans, it feels like the door to that room is partially closed.
