Henry: She has a really American accent
Gwen: Dat head voice doe
Davis: that's some nice horn samples there
Shimon: This is a Korean group?
Hugo: I feel like the brother is my spirit animal
Yunyi: I think that's like the typical bouncy, happy go-lucky vibe Kevin: (Best vibes?)
it's just like...like major 7ths
Davis: that is really a nice subtle use of the horns
It just fits into it so nice like you just glide along and listen to this omg
Gwen: Waah
Davis: Yeah, it's cool Lindsey: I like everything about this because it's just very simple especially in comparison to everything else that we've ever watched
Lindsey: It's very, very lighthearted
Davis: Yeah no, but it's almost kinda quirky you know Lindsey: Yeah
Fiona: I like their harmonies a lot. It's really simple in a way compared to other kpop
Henry: This is like aesthetically so pleasing and the music is so good. It's just a bunch of seventh chords
Hugo: I don't understand
Lindsey: Omg haha Davis: What is she- XD
Yunyi: I like how they just put sporadic
Gwen: Ha they're so far apart
Yunyi: scatting in there
I'm not a jazz major
Both: Aaawww
Umu: What do you think of her voice
Hugo: That bus driver doe Gwen That bus driver says f*** that
Shimon: Really good
Henry: I love the brother
I like them both
Yunyi: Oh nice harmonization Kevin: Mhm
Fiona: She is precious
Yunyi: It's like playing with the vocalizations and the rap. That's really great
Leah: They should slam their ice cream in each other's face
Henry: I love him, I love his whole vibe
Fiona: I love her voice it's so clear, such a clear quality too Henry: Her shirt just says liberals all over it
Hugo: Oh she's got a really good voice
Gwen: Yeah I'm in love with her, i'm in love with both of them
Gwen: Oh sh*t Hugo: Ooh f*** girl get it
Fiona: Oh, she's-
Yunyi: There hasn't been a fixed melody right?
Lindsey: Woah!
Yunyi: They've just been kind of like singing
Both: *heavy gasp* (I feel you guys)
Yunyi: On top of the bass line
Fiona: Aw Henry: *gasp*
Hugo: Ohh No
Kevin: I like that effect. But Yunyi: Noo!
Yunyi: That's so upsetting
Yunyi: Aaww
But yeah that is so witty but
Fiona: Wow
Yunyi: That's so sad
Davis: See look at that, she's sitting by herself
Yunyi: Get out of here
Yunyi: you ain't cute enough *referring to the other girl*
Leah: Well that's kinda sad
Yunyi: You don't got the cheeks
Henry: Omg what
That was so sad
Kevin: What? That's it Yunyi: Aw what
Fiona: Ok I kinda wanna cry, that's relateable
Hugo: Why are you emotionally wrecking us ughh (don't let them watch kdramas then)
Umu: HAHAHHAHAHA
Gwen: Well we just got an ad to travel to Korea
Hugo: I mean I, Please I will do it
Davis: That music was so good
Umu: But what I love about their music is becuase there's only two of them
Umu: You can hear the harmonies so well Shimon: That's is true
Shimon: Because all the other ones are like 20, or 16 or 17
Hugo: What I really liked about it, it was super
Hugo: First of all her voice was hella dope Gwen: Oh it was beautiful
gwen: #clarity hugo: like ohmyogd
Hugo: Yeah no she's got vibrancy without being Wuugh
She's got that delicate thing, you can still hear it and it's resonate and her head voice game is so f***ing strong
When she did that riff up in the head part I was like ooh
Gwen: I said ooh
Hugo: And it's not like he can't sing either like he's also super, they did that harmonizing thing and that was just like ooh
Umu: I'm arranging a song for people to do a cover of a later song of theirs (Melted) and his arranging the harmonies that he writes- yeah Hugo: Can I?
Hugo: Can I please Gwen: Like who's singing
Gwen: I mean neither of us are as good as them haha
Hugo: and I am terrible at rapping but
Davis: Like 10/10, 11/10
Umu: It gets better
Davis: It was a really good use of percussion and all of the sampling was just really really nice
Very tasteful, very tasteful
Hugo: I really liked his rapping because it was kinda tinkering with the whole sing-songy rapping
I really enjoyed hearing his melodic line too because it wasn't just on one note the whole time, it did actually move around a little bit
and it followed the instrumentals in the background too
Gwen: It was like how you would if you're singing musical theater
Gwen: How you would start that Hugo: It fit into the song
Gwen: Yeah it was nice. I was into it I was super into it Hugo: Which is what I liked, it really fit into the song
Hugo: It was good
Yunyi: I mean It shows of their inventiveness because what they did was they just sang over a bass line and there wasn't like a
at least I didn't hear a standard hook chorus
I mean there kinda was but they took some tropes in there but mostly they were singing over it
So they didn't have like the definitive tune but i really appreciated that
Because it kept things really interesting and it just kept things really lighthearted
Ash: The next song that we're gonna listen to is the sequel to this music video
Fiona: Ok thank goodness because I can't Ash: Yeah
Yunyi: But first- Umu: The story line continues
Yunyi: But first we react to Olive Garden
Fiona: wait what if we did it in harmony
We'll just do one in harmony (Um i have a feeling of deja vu here)
You'll go one and I'll go one (I'm not kidding guys)
5, 4, 3, 2

They're like more expressive
Yunyi: I'm sorry I've definitely heard this song before and I'm 90% sure it was at a Korean supernarket (you should be 200% sure :D)
Kevin: I think I've heard the audio but I thought it was a bit more conventional compared to their other stuff
Lindsey: Good thing we go to music school and don't have to worry about math ever again
Davis: Dude i'm just waiting for the quadratic formula
Lindsey: Yeah me too
Kevin: A and B
Kevin: C- Oh Yunyi: Oh is she the hypotenuse (So much math. Why)

Hugo: Oh god I love her voice so much

Yunyi: Oh I'm gonna listen to this whenever I feel sad
Kevin: How tall is the guy. Because he looks, because of how light he is he looks like he's 6'8
Umu: I will look this up for you (She thought he meant the brother)
Kevin: Ok
Gwen: It's a little creepy that she's just following him around though I'm gonna be honest
Henry: I love this
Leah: No but it's at like a general we should- Shimon: No they are filming in Japan I knew it I knew it
Yunyi: This is like
Shimon: I knew it, I knew it
Yunyi: My favorite rapping

Yunyi: The dude rapping is so good
