1. ASTRO (아스트로) is a South Korean boy group formed by Fantagio in 2015. The group currently consists of 4 members: MJ (엠제이), Jinjin (진진), Eunwoo (은우), and Sanha (산하). They debuted as a six-member piece, on February 23, 2016 with the mini-album Spring Up along with its title track 숨바꼭질 (Hide & Seek).
The group's former members includes: Rocky (라키), who made his departure from both the group and Fantagio on February 28, 2023, following the decision not to renew his contract. Moonbin (문빈) passed away on April 19th, 2023.
The group had two sub-units, known as JINJIN&ROCKY and MOONBIN&SANHA, however they were both disbanded due to the subsequent departure of Rocky and the passing of Moon Bin.
2. Astro is a chilean indie-eclectric-electronic band, first formed in 2008. Astro released its first EP Le Disc de Astrou in 2009, the quartet released its first full-length album, Astro in 2011.
3. ASTRO is Hiroshi Hasegawa's solo 'space-noise' project. Hasegawa is best known as a founding member of Japanese noise legends C.C.C.C. (also Astromero, Astral Travelling Unity, Senssurround Orchestra, YBO²). He has begun his solo unit ASTRO with analog synthesizers in 1993 as well as playing in C.C.C.C. Though his solo focuses on music that stems from a similarly analogue mindset, conjuring feverish dreamscapes from primitive oscillators, ring modulators and field recordings. In this instance, Hasegawa's endeavours seem to marry Japanese harsh noise convention with more psychedelically charged sounds, throwing together a blistering arsenal of noise signals with Acid Mothers Temple-style far-out-ness.
4. Astro is a lofi recording project based out of New Orleans, LA. AKA Astronomical. http://thisisastro.bandcamp.com

Kafka
Astro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no sé que comer;
me hago una bola,
y a dormir.
Tengo amigos
que ladran por mí,
y muerden el frio,
al morir.
donde vivir,
una familia
para mí.
Quiero una casa
donde vivir,
una familia
para mí.
In Astro's song Kafka, the singer finds himself wandering aimlessly on the street, grappling with hunger and the overwhelming feelings of isolation and loneliness. He is at a loss as to what to eat and in his frustration, he curls up into a ball and goes to sleep. In the midst of his despair, he is reminded of the loyal friends in his life who bark for him and fight against the cold until death. The singer longs for a home and a family of his own, a place where he can find stability and belonging.
The lyrics of Kafka convey a sense of disorientation and searching for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. The title of the song is a nod to the renowned novelist Franz Kafka, whose works often dealt with similar themes of alienation and the search for identity. The singer's experiences of hunger and homelessness reflect the struggles of many in society who feel overlooked and marginalized.
