So...
After the #arirang tracklist came out, I was using some body spray and thought about Body to Body...and I created my own fun project for the next 24 days....
"BTS Arirang Toiletries"
And! Lots of their song titles aren't original, so I've been checking out other songs with same titles.
I don't have a snappy hashtag though

Body to Body ( body spray)
Lots of people have used this song title, including 1990s techno group Technotronic, who had this as both a song and album title

Hooligan ( hair gel)
There are lots of other Hooligan songs, but the hip hop ones are quite explicit - so I've found a song from "Jump Up Calypso" by Count Lasher, which is the plural Hooligans

FYA - deodorant ( For Your Armpits!)
The song is by a group called FYA, and I picked a love song #WhatIsYourLoveSong "Must be love"
I also had a good look at the images that go on deodorant packages... Which are different to the packaging of a body spray #arirangiscoming

2.0 ( Shave duo)
It was tricky to find a 2.0 song, but there is one by a K-pop multinational group - Close Your Eyes ( I haven't heard of them)
Remember in the OT7 live, BTS were joking about making part 2of so many of their own songs?

No 29 ( eau de perfume )
I couldn't find anything on Spotify called No 29, but
N29 by Ezra Collective
https://open.spotify.com/track/4ctkK0owNqbS7mcVABDScc?si=CmYvl0K7TUmf9MMghdO8dw
The alternative was Now ( that's what I call music) 29, from 1994

Merry Go Round ( kids bubble bath)
A chaotic drawing
A bizarre song, by Kacey Musgraves - what will BTS song be about?

A song by Porcupine Tree
https://open.spotify.com/track/4VC5yXMaWBo6XN1V3V3Vpo?si=NyY2kfSQT3-3RYiDBKXHdA
I've tried hard, when I don't know the artist, to check they aren't AI stuff. Coming up in the last few days we have some song titles which have been used LOADS #BTS_arirang_art_fun #arirangtracklist
We are away tonight, but I'm hoping to get up and do day 10 as normal, because.... It's D6 today - - almost March 20 #SpringDay and really hoping for an upturn in the weather!! Sorry southern hemispherists now going into autumn 🍂

That's it - last one ..
Into the Sun ( sun cream)
I did this sketch a few days ago. If I'd known I'd have drawn a bigger boat. Maybe ARMY have lots of little boats, sailing to the Arirang ship?
There are loads of other songs already with this title, but I'm going to reshare the Diplo one
https://open.spotify.com/track/2Bl0e8nPs0PE1CBRcLc58T?si=zqIN03C6Rz-FYls6xhihwA
While looking for songs that already exist with the titles from ARIRANG, I had a think of solo songs that might suit the mood of transition from idol to Military Service and back again ( or a solo MV featuring a ship)
I have a very lengthy March 2026 Spotify playlist already, that I should be able to muddle into album streaming
I get no sense of pre album excitement from BBC Radio One
