Joji - Glimpse Of Us | LIVE MUSIC VIDEO REACTION/REVIEW 

I had the same look on my face watching it. I found out the video was created, all actors and everything, they showed behind the scenes. it seemed so real. but my take away is those guys are all friends and each one of them goes through a breakup throughout the video at different times but then i shows them all slumped over sad at random times. in between all that fun is true sadness. they are all going through it together and all they have is each other.

Joji used to be a RU-vidr and he’s basically a legend of RU-vid and an OG RU-vidr He made comedic videos and stuff like that where he had different characters that he would act as. Joji is apart of a record label named 88 rising Which is why some of his music videos are on that channel and not on his This is the first song he’s dropped in years which is why you haven’t heard anything from him in a while His singing obviously improved tremendously on this song and it sounds amazing in my opinion. Also I just found this channel and I love it so keep up the great work 🙌🙌🙌 Edit: this song is about how he found someone new that’s perfect and always there for him but he’s only with her in hopes of getting a glimpse of his past relationship. He hopes that she will one day find her way back to him as well.

The music video gives me a feeling of how young broken men act out in destructive ways when all they are really looking for is connection - often times in our society, the connection between romantic partners (say, a man and a woman) is seen as the ultimate bond - so a lot of energy is put into those connections, perhaps at the expense of reaching similar depths with your platonic relationships - your friends. When that relationship is done, there was so much energy and emotional input 'lost' that they spiral into self-destruction. All the men in the video are 'bonding' over destructive activities - either defacing their bodies with tattoos (not saying it's a bad thing, but it's essentially defacing your body in the same way that tagging is defacing a building), getting rid of all their hair, destroying everything (vehicles, houses), either play fighting or really fighting each other, burning things, but there's moments where their relationships are highlighted even if just for a moment - the texting, the shots of various women in conversation with some of the masked men, seemingly an argument between a broken couple. As the video progresses, the intensity of the externalized violence ramps up, but it only serves to counterbalance the intensity of the alienation of the various guys - you see shots of them alone, lying face down on a mattress (presumably crying) in a messed up house, or huddled up close to the skidding cars, or burying their faces on their hands while a car burns in the background. They're all alone, the friendships and the path they've gone down on, wanton destruction of property and even their closest relationships, they've sacrificed even their relationships for the cheap thrills of their adrenaline-fuelled lifestyles, the quick dopamine hits of new excitement. Perhaps regretting their decisions, or the circumstances that brought them here. The video's violence and quickly-edited nature contrasts with the almost serenade-like melancholy of the actual music - ultimately what they're looking for is that love story. Also, in psychoanalysis, the shaving of the head can be seen as a hint that the person completely gave up on its identity, regardless of the motive (which often happens when some people join a gang. They kill their old self and start living for something different, that's why the video feels unsettling).

Beautiful song and the MV in the beginning didn’t make sense at first but it mades sense as it goes on

I respect the long look back/analysis once the song was done, not many people on here do that after reactions and I respect it! My interpretation was the guy in the yellow/red that's shown through out is dealing with a breakup and is self destructing. He attempts to fill the void left by the girl through partying, violence, crime, substances and surrounding himself with people who only encourage his behavior and near the end his world crashes in around him. He gets more and more violent and destroys any semblance of the life he had or the person he was, that's why he's alone and isolate at the end. That's just my interpretation though and I liked yours as well. Great video keep it up! edit: just realized that the guy in red and the one in yellow are two separate people but I believe they're on the same path of destruction. I believe the guy in red is behind the camera and is the one that catches the majority of the shots and when he isn't it may be the guy in yellow that's just my theory though

88 rising is an entertainment management company focusing on Asian descent musician : Joji, Rich Brian, Niki etc.

The song and MV really resonates with men as we know this everyday struggle too well.

This is so unique. It’s actually a work of perfection. The way he decided to collaborate the song so mellow an such a beautiful song into a harsh and unsettled life of these individuals 🙏💯 perfection if you understand then you know. If not read about it man this is so beautiful

No cuz the lyric “I’m only here passing time in her arms.” Killed me 💔

It’s not auto tune It’s just reverb and extra melodies

You guyz are so humble and the reactionn was great...Had to sub...Hope u blow up soon❤🤝🏼

Love your videos guys!

Yes, he is DizastaMusic/TVFilthyFrank. He has albums under Pink Guy as well as the unreleased, "Chloe Burbank" album. For a short synopsis of what's going on here, listen without the MV for the romantic take on the song, the MV is more about how we need to reflect on how we all are as people. Hope this helps

"I looked at Jojis old videos and it's just similar songs. I'd like to know more about him.." Oh, my sweet boy.. You're in for a ride of your life...

Joji is in the video. He's at 4:39-4:40, guy in the white tanktop.

🎉

Wow

Its just a video of a dude living his life chaotically to nimb the pain of loss. Its hauntingly accurate

I know Joji from pink guy and this video just some of clarification of sad and suicidal thoughts

I know I'm 12 days late lol, but the clip was actually created by Joji. Here's a link of the behind the scenes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vturpIwaaz8.html

❤️❤️❤️❤️ nice video bro

So basically look up filthy frank and most of your questions will be answered on who he was... for the 88 rising it’s the name of the label company Joji was working with (idk if he still is)

it just 4 guy goes through a break up and form a Gang, thats it

Famous or not i loved your reaction guys (sorry but my english is so bad).

Bruh you GOTTA watch filthy frank, this is Joji before he became Joji

Idk if these 2 are in a couple or not, but i peeped that they didn’t even deep dive into the lyrics. They might be relating and avoiding sum potential truths. No hate tho

you might not know but joji started his channel for just posting random things he does in his life those who have followed him throughout knows how depressed he and his friends were he really have been through a dark time

He doesnt use autotune btw he just reverbs his voice barely

great video guys. can you guys react to "that"s hilarious" by Charlie Puth ?

Crazy Theory: It's Joji who filmed it all, and when he didn't he was the person in the film wearing the red NFL shirt with the 1 on the back..

two stone reaction

i don't get what music video and the songs message, anyone? what the message? the f.

Why make this video if your just going to say nothing get to the end and be confused
