  • Multicultural Pop Sensation Quadlips Celebrates ‘IDGA’ Launch in Manila, Eyes SB19 Collaboration

    Multicultural Pop Sensation Quadlips Celebrates ‘IDGA’ Launch in Manila, Eyes SB19 Collaboration

    On August 15, 2025, Quadlips, the first global unit of the AKB48 Group, held a press conference in Quezon City to launch their seventh single, “IDGA” (I Don’t Give A). The four-member girl group—Feni (JKT48, Jakarta), Hina (SKE48, Nagoya), Cole (MNL48, Manila), and Fame (BNK48, Bangkok)—shared insights into their latest release, their creative process, and their journey as a multicultural pop sensation.

    The group’s trip to the Philippines was part of a larger tour of Asia that included stops in Japan and Indonesia, showing how popular they are in the Asian region.The centerpiece of the press conference was the introduction of “IDGA,” Quadlips’ seventh single and second release of 2025, following their May 2025 hit “Wings Grow Back.” Described as a fun, empowering breakup anthem, “IDGA” blends hip-hop and R&B influences with English lyrics, embodying the group’s signature global sound.

    Quadlips also talked about how they came up with the idea for “IDGA” during the Q&A session.Fame, the Thai representative, talked about how the song has pop-punk overtones that remind her of classics from the early 2000s.Member Cole took the stage to highlight the song’s distinct vibe, contrasting it with the emotional depth of “Wings Grow Back.” She described “IDGA” as a track with “school vibes” and a lighthearted tone, perfect for anyone navigating relationship differences. “It’s about not giving a care and moving on,” Cole said, emphasizing its relatable message of confidence and independence.

    In a stunning turn of events, the group said they were fans of Filipino P-pop star SB19 and that they wanted to work with them on a project in the future.Cole said, “SB19’s energy is amazing; we’d love to mix our styles,” she also said that “IDGA” has “school vibes” and a lighthearted tone, which makes it great for people who are going through relationship problems. “It’s about not caring and moving on,” Cole added, stressing how relatable the song’s message of confidence and independence is.

    Feni, the leader of the group, explained the song’s meaning, saying it was about “girl talk” and having the strength to leave bad relationships. People really liked what she said, which shows that Quadlips can connect with fans through universal themes. Feni also teased the music video that goes along with the song. It was filmed in Tokyo’s famous Shibuya district and features colorful, TikTok-friendly visuals of the group having a fun day off.

    The release of the video on Quadlips’ official YouTube channel happened at the same time as the release of the single, which made “IDGA” even more popular.

    Feni’s Creative Leadership Stands Out Feni’s talk about how she helped shape “IDGA” was one of the best parts of the press conference. As the head of Quadlips, she thanked the management for giving her important creative tasks like coming up with the song’s idea, designing the costumes, and choreographing the dance. Feni said, “It’s a big responsibility, but I’m honored to help bring our vision to life.” People clapped for her leadership. Her participation shows how committed Quadlips is to being real, making sure that their music and videos show off their different identities and shared vision.

    With the launch of Quadlips in the Philippines, Creat8 Stories, one of the country’s leading design thinking and marketing agencies, has entered into a strategic management partnership with A-Nexus, the management company behind Quadlips, to create opportunities for Asian talents to break into the global market. This partnership strengthens Creat8’s mission of crafting culture-driven, impactful brand experiences that connect audiences across borders, enabling the agency to expand its reach and capabilities while supporting

    A-Nexus’ global initiatives in music releases, live performances, brand collaborations, and media strategies—all while celebrating diversity, artistry, and talent that unite fans worldwide.“This launch is a key milestone for A-Nexus, and we are eager to explore more opportunities in Asia, particularly the Philippines. We’re committed to supporting our artists and creating memorable experiences for fans, and this is just the start,” said A-Nexus CEO Nariaki Terada.

    As Quadlips continues to expand their footprint in Southeast Asia and beyond, the “IDGA” press conference served as a testament to their evolving artistry. With the single now available on all digital platforms, including YouTube where the official MV has already amassed views, the group is poised for another chart-topping success. Fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next—perhaps that SB19 collab or more international tours. For now, Quadlips reminds us: don’t give a damn about the haters; just keep shining.

    Kim Woo-bin and Suzy Star in Genie, Make a Wish on Netflix

    Get ready for a spellbinding tale of love, destiny, and wish-fulfillment with Genie, Make a Wish, the latest drama penned by acclaimed writer Kim Eun-sook, known for her gripping storytelling in The Glory. This romantic comedy promises to weave enchantment and heartfelt moments, starring Kim Woo-bin as Jinn, a genie awakening after a millennium of slumber, and Suzy as Ka-young, his emotionally guarded new master.

    Genie, Make a Wish follows the story of Genie — a magic spirit in a lamp who has come back to the human world after a millennium of his career being put on hold — encounters Ka-young, an impassive woman who goes through the motions of life by her grandmother’s rules and her own routines.

    Kim Woo-bin (Officer Black Belt, Black Knight) portrays Genie. Unlike the kind Genie everyone is familiar with, he is a Satan who tempts and corrupts humans with three wishes. However, he’s not just any Satan—he’s an eccentric character who has awakened after a thousand years and is naive about the world.

    Suzy (Doona!, Start-up) plays the role of Ka-young, the owner of the Genie’s lamp. She is an emotionless psychopath, but not just any psychopath—she is an extraordinary and beautiful woman raised with hope by her grandmother and the entire village, possessing wealth, education, and beauty.

    Supporting them are Ahn Eun-jin (Goodbye Earth, The Good Bad Mother) as the mysterious Mi-joo. Noh Steve Sang-hyun (Love in the Big City, Pachinko) as Soo-hyun, Genie’s brother and rival. Ko Kyu-phil (The Fiery Priest, Veteran) as Sayyid, Genie’s assistant who’s secretly a black jaguar. Lee Zoo-young (The 8 Show, Believer 2) as Min-ji, Ka-young’s only friend.

    Mark your calendars for October 3, 2025, when Genie, Make a Wish drops on Netflix, promising a magical escape filled with romance, humor, and a touch of otherworldly intrigue. Whether you’re a fan of K-dramas or simply craving a feel-good fantasy, this series is set to make all your viewing wishes come true.

  • Queen of Soul Jaya comes home with ‘Jaya All Hits’ concert

    Queen of Soul Jaya comes home with ‘Jaya All Hits’ concert

    Almost 4 years after moving overseas, the Philippines’ Queen of Soul Jaya is set to reunite with her Filipino fans as she marks her homecoming with a grand concert, “Jaya All Hits,” set to stage on September 14 at the New Frontier Theater. 

    Promising to take the audience to a nostalgic feeling with her iconic masterpieces,”Jaya All Hits” will be an extraordinary night of soulful emotions and legendary performances from Jaya herself, under the direction of premier concerts and events director John Prats, and produced by Cornerstone Concerts, L-Squared Productions PH, and CAL Studios. 

    The country’s Queen of Soul expressed her excitement for her anticipated homecoming, specifically mentioning missing the people and the nature of her work in the Philippines. “I missed the co-artists, makeup and hair people, friends and production people that not only makes my job pure joy but I missed the daily chika and learnings,” Jaya shared, recalling her experiences years ago before migrating to the US. “We have one another to really lean on and when we need to unload and talk stories, you would be so shocked to know what comes out of our mouths—just kidding, but not really,” she added.

    Meanwhile, Jaya is thrilled to be staging her homecoming concert in September, realizing all the changes that happened throughout the years of not being in the country. “This homecoming concert is quite exciting and emotional for me. Many of my beloved and respected mentors and friends have passed away, and the music landscape has changed since I last was in the Philippines,” she shared, then revealing personal changes she had to go through. “I have also changed in many ways when it comes to my craft. At 55 years old, I hope that you will still enjoy my song choices and delivery, though somewhat mature but heartfelt.”

    Inviting her fans to a reunion at “Jaya All Hits,” the country’s Queen of Soul expressed her gratitude and excitement to be performing in front of the Filipino audience once again. “I am filled with excitement to see my listeners and show them once again that I am still here, doing what I love and using the blessings that God has truly willed for me,” she expressed, promising a night of love and music. “ Let’s make September 14 our night together and fill it with love, stories and encouragement, which I know all of us need, and thank you in advance for your love and support!”

  • Iconic Filipino Band Music and Magic Reunites for a Cause at Music Museum on August 20th.

    Iconic Filipino Band Music and Magic Reunites for a Cause at Music Museum on August 20th.

    The iconic Music Museum in Greenhills, San Juan, Philippines, will come to life on August 20, 2025, at 8:00 PM with the nostalgic songs of the legendary Filipino show band Music and Magic. The concert, called “Music Museum Honors Sandra Chavez: Music & Magic & Friends,” will be a night to remember with music, memories, and friendship as the group gets back together to honor their former manager, Sandra Chavez. The band, which was fronted by the now-famous pop diva Kuh Ledesma, altered the way people in Manila listened to lounge music and helped Ledesma’s solo career take off.

    Formed in 1979, Music and Magic was a key part of the Philippine music scene. Their energetic performances and wide range of songs kept audiences interested until they broke up in 1986. The band had some of the best musicians of their time, like Kuh Ledesma, Bobby Taylo, Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, Fe de los Reyes, Jet Montelibano, Butch Elizalde, Nonoy Mendoza, and Vicky Sevilla-Pangilinan. They were known for their tight harmonies, theatrical flair, and ability to connect with audiences.

    Philippine Concerts was invited during their rehearsals in Pasay and got a chance to see and talk to the members of Music and Magic.

    The event, originally planned as a surprise birthday party for Chavez, has now become a fundraiser to help her as she recovers from her health condition, showing how much the group cares about her.

    “We want to check on her to make sure she’s okay,” Kuh Ledesma said.

    “We’ve been wanting to do a show for her as well; she’s recovering, and we’ve always wanted to do a show—a reunion, after all,” Fe added.

    Sandra Chavez is known as a legendary figure in artist management because she has had a huge impact on the careers of many artists. Kuh has shared that she first managed the Music and Magic artists, and it paved the way for her to manage artists, including Zsa Zsa Padilla, Gary Valenciano, and Sharon Cuneta. She has helped musicians, performers, and other creative people achieve great success by spotting talent and using a strategic approach. She is a legend at navigating the world of Philippine entertainment.

    To make the Music & Magic reunion a reality, Jet Montelibano cut short his vacation to join his bandmates, while Fe de los Reyes extended her stay in the Philippines.

    “I think you know, the universe went with us; it was meant to be. When your heart is there, walang kokontra,” Fe added.

    What’s remarkable is their enduring bond over the years. “We’re like family. Nagkikita pa rin kami. Nag-uusap pa rin kami. We have a chat group. So, we’re connected in more ways than one,” Fe shared.

    When they’re asked about the planning and conceptualizing of the reunion show, Vicky shared, “We just close our eyes; we find our body, our mind, and the words coming out. It just made our voice even better.”

    When a band gets back together after being apart for a while and spends time practicing, their musical and emotional connections come back naturally, along with their shared talent, story, and creative energy.
