Welcome to the main channel! Let's just chill and have fun watching random videos. Also, if you're into gaming I have a second channel just for that if you guys want to head over there and check it out :)
For the guide the beomie bear channel actually has the guide uploaded in six shorter videos if you’d prefer to watch it that way - it’s really up to you, I’m pretty sure MOA will watch it either way. Also the guide channel is actually meant to be uploading an updated guide sometime next week so it should be very up to date by the time you react to it.
Hey hey! Thanks for the recognition. As far as the guide question goes, It is totally up to you. Whichever way you do it, I promise it will be worth the watch. Also you are so right about how TXT can do so many sounds. It's my favorite thing about their music because every genre feels authentic to them.
Lol of course girl! (i hope you dont mind me saying girl) You've been rocking with me since like the first TXT reaction! 🤞 YESSS thats the word, authentic! It's crazy how natural it sounds to jump around like that and with their demeanor fitting the sound!
The official songs are all in English, but the Tape series is English, Japanese, and even a little Korean. "Auto" captions are trash. It's RU-vid's algorithm trying to figure out what is being said, but with the music, the accents, and multiple languages, it just doesn't know what it's hearing. Tape 1 has no captions, at some point in the series they added captions but it's in whatever language they are using at the time. It's not until Tape #4 that we get full proper English captions. You can find color coded lyric videos on RU-vid made by fans if you want to know what they are saying.
XG Tape are their cyphers. They also have XG Vox videos where they do cover songs of other artists like TLC No Scrubbs. They have XG Move where each of them show off dance choreography with dance styles both as a group and as an individual dancer. One awesome thing about XG is that they always pay homages to the OG artists like Jay-Z. 😃 In their recent XG Vox #6 Losing You, they cover the song Losing You by Flo. They made the whole music video in the old school R&B style as an homage. Check it out! Fun fact, one of XG rappers is Cocona who was inspired by Lauryn Hill and TLC. Because of her inspirations, she started learning how to rap at the age of 3. Her parents notice this and they have supporting her ever since.
Omg I like that! You can def see the influence and thats so nice to see because its genuine! I'm def gonna check those out as well! Thank you for putting me on !
XG influenced by...or artists they listen to. TLC, Destiny's Child, Spice Girls, Mary J Blige, Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah, Keyshia Cole, Kehlani, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Billie Eilish, Justin Beiber, Ciara, Bruno Mars, Doja Cat, Ne-Yo, Tyler the Creator, etc.
It's more of a break up song, considering that towards the end they talk about wishing the other something better. Also the empty box can be a reference to the boxes that people fill up with the stuff of the partner whenever a break up happens. When you want to get rid of everything that reminds you the person you loved Also this is definitely a live performance, yes it's a MV but they performed live while filming it, it doesn't sound like the studio version trust me
Ahh okay so thats what it was! I knew it had to be in that realm by the lyrics. I knewwwww itttttttt I was so sure but then after I said it was a live performance i started to doubt myself lol BUT holy! They sound soooo good !
@@Simply_Reacts Yeah during live performances they sound way better than the studio version. You can almost feel their breathing in the mics. I watched a lot of Empty Box live performances, and in this special clip they sound exactly the same, that's why I know for sure they are singing live
I already gave you a list on your first reaction to them but i just want to say I am happy to see you are still enjoying their music! In my opinion, they have no skips, especially if you are the kind of person who can enjoy a variety of genres.
HOW DO YOU SAY NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THEM? XG TO BE FIRST PLACE ON YUTUBE, ALL REACTORS REACTED TO THIS VIDEO, AMERICAN AND WORLD RAPPERS PRAISED THEM A LOT. THEY ARE ALSO ON BILLBOARD, EXACTLY BECAUSE OF THE LARGE ACCESS NUMBERS. XG exploded in the world and detonated the internet. They are really extraordinary with all these multiple skills and talents (jpop, kpop, pop, r & b, rap, balladase etc ...), not to mention that they sing in 3 languages and their choreography, which are one of the most difficult today in Asia. In fact they are xpop pis are universal. Congratulations girls, you really deserve to be at the Billboard top, and now the world knows you and will be even more surprised by so much talent. "7 vocalists, 7 Versatiles, 7 dancers, 7 ASES, 7 rappers, 7 members, 7 queens, 7 visuals. XG Never disappoint. Fan Club Alpha, proud. Thanks for his precious reaction. 💣💥🔥🔥👏👏👏.
Like I said in my video, my social media don't mention XG. Which is why I was shocked and said their names need to be mentioned in more spaces. They are super talented and deserve WAAAYYYY more attention than what they already have. I'm really excited to see what comes next for them because this song and x-gene really hooked me. Thank you for watching and taking your time to comment. 🙂
I love 'Chasing that Feeling' unfortunately many in kpop have underestimated it, but to this day it's one of the songs I listen to all the time, perhaps because I also appreciate songs in this vibe from the 70s, 80s etc. In addition, the album it's part of is an exquisite musically speaking, in addition to bringing a more mature work both in their journey (lore) I would also say musically, in the album they present several musical genres and for me it's one of my favorites.
Whhhhaaaat how can this song be underestimated! It's good on every level :( . I love the sound and feel this song gives. Which is why its on repeat for me. Well that sucks. I love how they incorporated the 70s/80s feel in a modern song. Ugh I can gush over this song for hours lol
@@Simply_Reacts Yes... yes it's a shame, I feel the same way... Sometimes I don't really understand the taste of some kpoppers, but a lot of people also appreciate it and the album as a whole. Another song of theirs from the same album that has more or less the same vibe but I think it's more in the disco genre 🤔 is 'Back for More' which is also very good. The MV is full of references to Michael Jackson and it was a collaboration with a Brazilian singer, although she sings in Spanish in the song and in the production they incorporated another musical genre which is the Brazilian funk beat.
@@Simply_Reacts FYI, all OMVs feature all 7 members . The XG Tapes showcase the 4 rappers. The XG Vox's showcase the 3 singers. I highly recommend these as well!👊🐺✌️
@Simply_Reacts Alphaz. Goes with their wolfpack theme. (Unfortunately, they probably didn't know that the term was taken over by the man-o-sphere here in the west)
I'm jealous that I wasn't there when they debuted! Lucky you lol but they are def my favorite group now cuz both x-gene and woke up blew me away! It's on repeat at the moment! I can just imagine how crazy that world tour is gonna be !
Cocona has been wanting to shave her head but management did not allow it. . . Until this music video . .. Simon, XG’s manager had to ask permission from Cocona’s parents for her to do this and when given the green light, they decided to incorporate it in the video. . .I think that was a genius move! XG and this song has been blowing up and they are getting the recognition they deserve!
Yes I agree, this is what was needed, because like I said in the video, I've heard one other song but then I saw anything about else about them. XG def just became one of my favorite groups. They deserve so much more tbh. I can't wait to see and hear more. Oh wow! W parents I guess 🤣.
There isn't really a part one part two, part, three because their storyline has been present since their debut 💀 Its very complicated honestly I can't even explain it. The overall thing is the coming of age story. This particular song is related to Lore, but it's about being tempted by a magical fantasy, but it's not like what they thought it was. A false reality if you would say. Like Neverland. Their story has a lot of Peter Pan, Harry Potter, and The Little Prince elements. They have a lot of fairy tales reference in their songs and a lot of magic and fantasy. They also have a lot of dreamlike visuals and songs. I'm going to recommend some b-sides Dreamer Growing pains I'll see you there tomorrow The killa Tinnitus Happily ever after Farewell, Neverland These are all b-sides from their most recent album(s)
oh I see! So this is just one big story that if you didnt catch from the beginning it's already waaaaay too deep to just pick up and start new? I'll def check these out. Thank you for the recommendation!
@@Simply_Reacts Well if you wanted to start it you can I think the Lore isn't that hard, but it's mostly difficult to the average amount of MOAS. They have a webtoon called The Star seekers. That's their lore, but also they also just have txt storyline. It's kinda different, but they overall have the same message. Their lore is about growing, mostly NOT wanting to grow up. We officially got through that arc with their 2 recent comebacks. Now their lore is more about struggles of reality and adulthood. They were really young when they debuted so it's pretty on theme. Concert trailers, music video teaser (especially for older songs) animations they've made, and music videos are really good sources for lore. My favorite aspects of it are really the fairytale vibes. We usually call them fairies because of the vibes.
@@Simply_Reacts I don't know if you have time to do it but you would have to watch from their debut music video all the way until the recent ones WITH concept trailers 💀 Japanese version of music videos REAAAALLY contribute to the lore. It sounds like a lot but you literally just have to wacth their videos in chronological order. This is why I don't usually recommend unless they're a lore fanatic.
@@nomam_j LOL OH its that deep... Then nvm I'll just take your spark notes 🤣 BUt that's a good story progression and I love when lores do that. But I wont be doing a deep dive as of rn 🤣🤣 Thank you for being so informative
😍😍 this is my fav song to watch them perform ... i will be the first to admit that i dnt understand the lore at all but filler episode sounds like an interesting take
oooo I might just have to watch a video of them performing this song if it's your fav!! We in this together then cuz im tryin to put the pieces together😂
In 2022,Mubeat held a vote for best main vocalists in kpop. The results were #1 Baekhyun, #2 Jinho, and #3 Jongho, so hes6in great company. If you haven't heard Pentagon's Jinho, I highly recommend (his bandmate and leader Hui I'd great too). Jinho has done 1 cover a month for so long, he has over 50. They didn't do all of my favs, but then they would have needed to sing 40 songs😂. I especially missed Halazia, Aurora, and Inception.
Oh I didnt know they had votes like that! I'll def look it up because I wanna see who else is on the list and react to their music! And I wonder if they did another vote this year.. OMG I wish they did Halazia too!!!! I have to listen to the other 2 you listed. But hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for your comment :)
hey love your reaction and thoughs about ateez. Back when in was lesrning and try to analyze ateez lore I watched a few videos on a channel called eterniteez in case you want someone to explain their points of view (because i think mostly are theories). Basically on pirate king and treasure they are startung their adventure and they are talking about their way and their treasure. In say my name and hala hala they introduce their alter egos ( black fedoras ateez outfit) called halateez (atinys put the name and ateez loved it and start calling those halateez). On say may name their are talking about both of them and the fight between achieve your goals while hala hala are mainly talking about halateez (often refering fire to ambition). Of course this is just a small summary of the theories of ateez lore, in mvs afterwards they expand more the 2 worlds ( A and Z wolrd), but for the first MVs they are just introducing their storyline and their concept. Also important are the eras of ateez: treasure era, fever area, the world era and now with the new comeback golde hour era. In each era they talk specifically about a certain part of their story more. Treasure era I think is occuring in A world (normal one where ateez are trying to be succesful and achieve their goals). This part is maybe a bit strange but then ateez from world A can travel dimensions using the chromer to dimension Z (from where halateez are from, a dystopian world where they are washed brain and ateez are trying to fight the goverment and bring emotions back (this is what you have seen in the world era ( MVs of halazia, bouncy, guerrilla or crazy form) where they tell the sotry if how the fight the goverment. sorry for this long explanation of ateez lore, but i hope it will be helpfull, once again in eterniteez channel you havel full videos explaing this together with their entries on some of the albums (short stories pieces that ateez narrate in their diary version of the albums)m so a recomend you to watch them on your own time and maybe you can see a different point of view or references. THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ATEEZ LORE, they put small pices that makes you think and bring your own conclusions and sometimes i feel that is what ateez want us to do, think our own way and be our own self. Hope to keep following your journy with the , because for me they are 8 wonderfull people bringing good and energy music together with a good message.
Wow thank you for this breakdown! I’ll totally check that out and I might react to it. I love the lore so far, it’s a great story. I’m glad to see I wasn’t too far off in my theory lol. Halateez 🤣 I love that! I’m excited to see how the story develops so thank you for the summary! Plus you never have to apologize on my channel for “long messages” I welcome them. I love reading everyone’s thoughts and it’s something I look forward to every time I post. I hope you enjoyed the video :)
Please do yourself a favor and watch Utopia live (I recommend Utopia dunk version, which dates back to last year so pretty recent). You definitely want to hear Seonghwa's high notes in full power in a live performance. The dunk version is the japanese one, the same as the MV and that's why I recommended that specific performance. This song is among my absolute favorite b-sides, and that is because San and Seonghwa (my biases) have a great participation in this one in terms of vocals
Hell yeah I’ll definitely check that out! I lovvveee how they sounded in Japanese on this song! Thank you for the recommendation! Hope you enjoyed the video :)
@@Simply_Reacts I really enjoyed it, but I think I will enjoy your reaction to the live performance even more, because I'm sure you will be totally surprised by how good they sound live, even better than the studio version :)
If I remember, at the time of this video SeongHwa Yunho and San were the most fluent in Japanese. They have all become very good at Japanese over the years. You can tell as you watch their Japanese releases evolve over the years. I love their Japanese releases. They are all so good. Love your reaction. This song sealed the deal for me. I am a vocals person and if the vocals hit, I stan. Thanks for the reaction and Have a great weekend!!!
Oh WOW these guys literally are super talented! They sounded sooooo good on this song I was really speechless. Usually, you can tell when Kpop groups are signing in Japanese, but with ATEEZ it sounded so natural! I def added this song to my phone and on repeat alongside 'Say My Name'! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you have a great weekend as well! Be safe!
I feel like I say this about all their songs, but this song live is FIRE!!! Utopia was my 2nd ATEEZ song and sealed the deal for me. Vocals! Great reaction and looking forward to more!
Lol no because why ever since I started listening to their songs I’ve been saying the same thing and then I hear another song ! But I gotta check out their live performances!🤣 omg Utopia!!!! I just heard it and it did something to my soul😭😭. Thank you for stopping by and I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction!
Thank you! I’m really enjoying their music and you guys have been so kind/welcoming so I’ll definitely continue to react! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🥹
After 3 years journey with ateez i found that in present these black mask team was killed in destopian land where people not allowed to protest for their rights, in halazia song mv i found some story 😅 bcoz these halateez black mask suit dummy put on a instruments wheel cart as like scare crow man to show people if u raise your voice u will die like this ,but hongjoon saw that one halateez came from future or world Z ,in world A from different dimension 😅😅who was same hongjoon face to show him they are the future halateez team if u all got together and fight this time as they show them with safety, so they made a underground team in guerilla for fight.😅my bad😂 i m not good in thinking but in storylines little hard to me to understand 😊.
I dont understand the lore fully but say my name / hala hala is a prequel to pirate king / treasure ... Hala hala doesn't have a teaser because i don't think it was planned to be released as a full video [this is going off of the fact that the video seemed to be recorded in a day and that there is another shorter hala hala performance] I am enjoying the mv lore dive and loving your reactions.
We in this together then LOL! Wait, if this song is a prequel to those two songs.. then I might not be correct theory wise... LOL this messed me up 🤣 Thank you so much thats very kind of you to say! I appreciate you for taking the time to comment and I hope you continue to enjoy them!
Thank you for reacting to TXT! The MV is still something im trying to understand. There were elements of older music videos in this one, so that could be where some visual elements of dejavu come in. But so far I've gathered that they are in a dream state, hence the running backwards, the black and white, the weird figures in the beginning and then they are waking up from that dream state and asking you remember this past time and make everything okay again. And i believe at the end when Beomgyu catches Yeonjun from falling, that was representative of him remembering him and what they've been through. But I could be wrong. TXT usually has very deep concepts. Other songs I'd recommend are Sugar Rush Ride Chasing that Feeling Run away Good Boy Gone Bad And if you want to get to know them the user Beomiebear did a very detailed guide on them! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JZbB5euLtP4.htmlsi=0bBz9Gu4u0_UwS4k
OOOOOOO I didn't know this since this is the first song I've ever heard from them so that explains why I was so lost! Are the songs you listed part of the concept or just songs you like? Regardless I'm gonna listen to them lol. But that concept sounds fire and now I wanna see more lol. OMG thank for you also linking a guide because I literally have the WORST luck picking the right one lol. Thank you for taking the time to comment and I apologize for the low quality in the video I truly have no idea why that is! But I hope you enjoyed the video nonetheless! Again, thank you for the recommendations I'll put them on the list! :)
@@Simply_Reacts I thought I commented back but I didn't see it post so I'm going to try again. So they are songs that I like and are popular. They have a different concept every release but there is a story like that runs throughout all their discography. You'll learn more about it in detail in the guide. That guide is THE guide. It was updated right before their latest album. The MV for the song " eternity" has some elements in it that were used in DejaVu. It's more of an artsy MV so the music is a bit chopped up for acting and visuals. It's really cool though.
@@ericalovesto Awesome! So, I'll just start with the guide and then the music to help me understand them better and the concept. Shout out to you for putting me on! This is very helpful
It was hot! They filmed in Morocco in the Sahara desert. KQ was a very small company with little money. They realized that having two videos would allow them to show more sides of their music, but couldn't afford it. For awhile, their releases had one performance video and one official MV. Later they could afford to give both songs full MVs.
HOLY! firstly, that's so cool that they filmed this in Morocco! Secondly, that heat is no joke! That's crazy to think that KQ was small and had little money then fast forward to now and they have a very successful group! The vision that the company had is insane! But thank you for your comment! I hope you enjoyed the video :)
You're on the right track! The lore is revealed in bits and pieces, and it's not chronological, so don't get hung up in being exactly right, because there's a lot that's yet to come, even now. Good observation about b/w versus color, it is a motif that they use, along ther colors in their MVs. There are also key words that are used in lyrics fairly often and bits or choreo that they repeat. It's all intentional. Have fun with these talented guys!
Omg thank you for letting me know that it isnt chronological because I was STRUGGLING LOL i appreciate you! I knew the change in colors had to be something! Now I just have to read the lyrics way more. Thank you so much for this comment! I hope you enjoyed the video because I'm having a blast with Ateez. They are soooooo talented and I love it!
yes the first one was bangchan then han, then charlie puth at the 2:29 6:18 well skz always put "intros" in their comebacks so you can see them and understand some much, but just for answer this questions the mv is based on mermaids stories thats why the water and breath things.. they also talk about they singing in the song like is not a normal song for them like this pop ish rhythm and less rap so it was a challenge, and how it was working with charlie here the intro if you wanna see it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-udz0a5Wecxk.htmlsi=aGgkITZUJRm2yBOS One of the privileges of making their own songs is knowing the behind the scenes of each creation, we love these intros. oh I'm just now watching the end of the video and I see that you just discovered it haha well obviously I would like to see that reaction!
I had a feeling this was a different kind of song for them but I still like the vibe it's super catchy. Lol I'm glad you requested it cuz I'm def excited to see how they work. But again, thank you for your comment cuz you have been very informative and kind! 🥲
a long comment is coming haha sorry I just found your channel and see your reactions to skz, I would love for you to see a long guide to understand better, the one you saw lacked a lot of information, it was more of a meme guide haha. This mv is a bside from Rockstar (album) title track "lalalala" skz has many mvs of bsides In short, everyone does everything yes, although there are no official positions, some members are in charge of some things more than others: Bangchan: vocal, produce Lee know: vocal, main dancer Changbin: rap, produce Hyunjin: rap, dancer Han: rap, vocal, produce felix: rap, dancer seungmin: vocal Jeongin: vocal although this is what each one focuses on most, you can find anyone playing any role, then there are divisions within the group: - 3racha: pre-debut rap group, consisting of chan, changbin and han... so chan also raps quite well, only that in the group he usually focuses more on singing... this division remained as the production team of skz, they are in charge of composing and write all the songs of the group - danceracha: division of main dancers, lee know, hyunjin and felix - vocalstreak: main vocalists jeongin and seungmin It's like in other groups "rap, dance lines etc" but here they took the "racha" from "3racha" the main predebut team and added it to the other lines Hope it helps hahah Another thing I see is that you like monsta x and rap, so skz is definitely a group for you
Lol you never have to apologize to me about a long comment because I love these kinds! Thank you for breaking it down for me in a simple way so I can understand it lol you're a lifesaver ! I'll def try to find a better and updated guide because I knew half way watching that it wasn't a serious one. I'm also assuming that each sub-group have put out work? Do you recommend them? I def became a fan of theirs so I'm excited to find out more about them! Thank you for taking the time to comment and I hope you enjoyed the video even through the audio issue!
Halazia is one of my top 5 favorite songs by Ateez. The story is really detailed and i only recently started to understand it all. While Halazia does connect to the story happening in Guerilla (fight againt the government and all that to bring back emotions and self expression), the story in this song is a spin off. It happens in a completely different universe to the one in Guerrilla. In Ateez's lore there are multiple versions of them accross different dimensions. The ones you saw in Guerrilla were from Dimension/World Z. They are known as Halateez or the Black Pirate leaders. Halazia is meant to be set in a future where Halateez gained a lot of followers for their resistance but were captured by the enemy and were presumably killed, hence the scarecrow. The people who they helped are now lost and are looking for a sign of hope, a light at the end of the tunnel, "be the light, oh Halazia". This new Ateez group has come together to answer the call of the people and continue what the Black Pirates started. The black ball (some people have said it's a moon) was like the first step towards taking back control and it seems like they succeeded. The people you see at the very end are called witnesses. I think they are just around to observe and witness stuff happening across dimensions but i'm not sure. Guerrilla, story wise, links up with Bouncy more than it does with Halazia. The kid you saw at the end of Guerrrilla was wearing a uniform that you can briefly see Ateez wearing when they were dancing in this very white and sterile building during the bridge in Bouncy. Basically telling us they infiltrated the school and were taking it down from the inside. Sorry this was so long, i'm such a sucker for stories and lore
Trust me you don't need to apologize! Because I am too a sucker for stories and lore! This makes so much sense, I was sooooo confused on the black ball/moon and even while editing I was like that moment had soooo much significances but I just couldn't put the pieces together. But, now you have me looking at bouncy different because I thought that was just a regular hype song!... Holy shit I didn't even scratch the tip of the ice berg! All I know is that the water is cold LOL! Now I'm excited! Thank you for your comment and taking the time to explain it. Hope you enjoyed the video :)
