Damn, I didn't even mention how the outfits reminded me of Vision, but anyway, hope you guys enjoy this double reaction and I just realized that I left out the part about the deleted reaction file, there was a problem with the SD card and sadly I couldn't recover some of the files which included a reaction to Red Sun, it happened some time ago and I probably wouldn't have mentioned it until later but then I saw the nod to Red Sun in Endless night :( fml.
I figured someone else might mention this but since no one has: "Endless Night" was inspired by the crushing disappointment of MINX flopping and the depression and uncertainty that the members faced between the end of MINX and the reboot as Dreamcatcher. Not wanting their training and time in MINX to be a "waste of time", "Sleepless nights", "Tears for frustrations and struggles", not wanting to stop, don't look back, "Just dream it, and do it", "Failure is success' base"... All of the MINX members suffered from the failure of that group, and the song reflects their desire to continue but uncertainty about whether they would. When "Endless Night" was recorded, "Scream" had not yet been released and Dreamcatcher had not yet blown up to the level of popularity that they enjoy now, so their future was still uncertain (also Handong was in China competing on Youth With You 2, and at this point no one knew if she would return). The end of MINX still weighed heavily on the members, and only this year, with their first wins, global recognition and the growth of their second world tour, have they been able to put that experience to rest and embrace MINX as part of their history.
Endless Night was produced by Japanese guitarist Kuboty (who also provided the guitar & bass parts), while the drum parts was provided by Katsuma of Japanese post-hardcore band Coldrain.
When it comes to Dreamcatcher's songs in jap releases I can only say one thing to you: GET READYYYY TOOO RUMBLEEEEE! their songs are haaaard and get help from recognised metal artists. So yeah they are aaall pure 🔥
recommend 'Don't Light My Fire' Dreamcatcher sample the Halloween theme song. Dreamcatcher , 'Endless night', 'No more', and 'Don’t light my fire' are straight up fire metal songs.
The solo in No More (and many more guitar parts) was written and performed by Pontus Norgren from Hammerfall. It is unfortunate that there was no real MV for this due to the pandemic.
Interesting tidbit: according to Yoohyeon a while back, the "Endless Night" MV was filmed in one day while Dreamcatcher were in Texas, on a "day off" from their 2019 US tour. It's a shame that due to (I think?) copyright issues they (almost) never perform their Japanese songs during their concerts.
Probably due to contractual/legal reasons. I'm pretty sure their Japanese label that produced this restricts the songs to the Japanese domestic market. Many Korean artists that release music in Japan are restricted like this, so it's nothing surprising.
"Holy shit! ...hi... Holy shit!" Mood. Yup, the Japanese discography is where you find the HEAVY shit. Btw, while we're at the topic of ouf favorite ladies of darkness, Pixy just released a brand new song today! The first one with the new member Rinji. It's called Trick or Treat.
What I like from these two Japanese singles is that they attack you with heavy riffs right from the first note. It's like a statement of how bold they can be. Chase Me was as bold as a rookie girl group idol could be in SK, but these show what they can be in an unrestricted situation...at least that's my interpretation.
Endless Night - There it is, the start always catches people off guard and it's always amusing to see 😀 - Thanks for explaining the song/lyrics. I kinda was hoping you could explain what the printer was doing in this mv, cause I always think it's so weird. - Why do the lyrics "Just dream it, and do it" always remind me of Shia LaBeouf? 😜 No More - yeah this song has a similar theme to Boca (or the entire Dystopia trilogy). It's about the fight against defamation on social networks. Red Sun Ah bummer that the file got corrupt. Yeah reacting to a different version would be cool.
Holy Yes! I'm glad you did a Dreamcatcher heavy metal reaction. 🤘😎🎸💯🔥💖🎊 (I wish more Insomnias could react to this side of Dreamcatcher) thank you for this reactions. 💖 Insomnias
It was so amusing to see how surprised you were with the heaviness especially in the beginning overall a very interesting reaction with some great insights! They do go harder with their Japanese songs like everyone already mentioned, they also have some Korean b-sides that lean more towards this style (not this heavy but still definitely full on rock and maybe it could even be called metal in some instances). So maybe those are some songs that will interest you after all the remaining "title tracks" (I'm talking about songs as Tension, New Days, Break the wall, Mayday, and many more). If you don't mind songs that are less rock oriented you can choose from all of their b-sides :D (I love all). Great reaction!
Yaaaas I was waiting for this ahahahahah Japanese public allow them to go harder. I love it so much. Thank you for loving my girls. I think about One piece when listening to Endless night hahaha
i love japanese releases, and my favorite is "dreamcatcher don't light my fire", reminds me a little of the halloween theme and nightwish ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_r2LYookCz8.html
Oh I loved this video soo much. I find both of these songs extremely relatable and hearing your explanation of the lyrics literally made me tear up. Your analysis are always very good and informative, keep up the great content :)
I knew you were going to love Endless night. this song is right in your alley. I kind of songs that can satisfy your subscribers fans of kpop jpop and heavy metal. I agree there's a big Slipnot vibe, a bit of Sum 41 too. I would have seen Siyeon and Yoohyeon too much as a heavy metal band or a baby metal band like Nightwich
i love dreamcatcher japanese releases, it's awesome! seeing your reaction is also amazing hahaha i remember the first time i heard it, i had an internal meltdown, i was wondering why i didn't know about dreamcatcher before, holy shit!!! yeah 🙌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
It's sort of like a cross between Slipknot and some Progressive metal. Like Dream Theater or Avenged Sevenfold. Or maybe Power Metal like Amaranth or Dragonforce. I'm going have to harass my daughter for not sharing these with me. :D
I'm not sure if someone has suggested but I highly suggest watching Dami's cover of HYO's (Hyoyeon of SNSD) Dessert. If you do decide to react to it, maybe watch the original first then the cover. But always love your reactions! Keep it up!
First time seeing one of ur reactions and I loved it! I would like u to react to their latest japanese release "Eclipse" and also the B-side "Don't light my fire", They're great!
2:35 it's because of 2 things. The guitar tuning and the pitch harmonics. Slipknot uses pitch harmonics rather often and a dropped B tuning ( sometimes even the first string is another half-step or full step down )
8:15 Maybe you could do a new Red Sun video as kind of a retrospective. Obviously we won't be able to see the "holy shit" moments of you discovering it for the first time, but you could still discuss your thoughts on it...
Dreamcatcher Endless Night lyric is just 'ordinary', struggle and move on, but, when knowing who they are, it's like they just telling their story. "going rock is a mistake, just waste your time." and JiU part about second chance as leader of Dreamcatcher, Endless Night is about Dreamcatcher, if put out Dreamcatcher, the lyric just ordinary plot of most anime.
Actually if you react to the dance practice version of Endless Night, the arrangement was slightly different on Dami's part iirc. But yeah, Endless Night and NO MORE are heavy shits and honestly I still wish for them to do stuffs like this but it's hard for them to do it in Korea...
Just missing out on "don't light my fire" haha In my opinion that's their hardest Song and Most people don't know it even exists sadly :( Either way, idk about other groups japanese Songs but DCs japanese Songs are always so refreshing and fun to listen to 👏🏼
Dreamcatcher's Japanese releases goes HARD! could be because the Japanese are more accepting and appreciative of Rock and Metal as compared to the Koreans.
