Hello everyone, my name is Umu, I am Reacttothek's channel creator,
and welcome to my wEEEEEEEEkly
(laughs)
reaction!
I am aware they are PlayM GIRLS and...
FAVE Girls combined, right?
(affirming) Under PlayM Entertainment, yes.
I do have to admit,
I did take a sneak peek of this song,
and I happened to start right where
one of the members was shooting the other member with a tuba, and I was like,
"OH SHIT, now I have to react to this but oh, shit, I just spoiled myself!!!"
(laughing)
So... (inhaling laughter)
(crocodile tears) I'm sorry about that. My bad, my bad.
But 'Tag Me (@Me)'. Let's get it!
Okay, three, two, (hits play) one!
Oop!
(already hyped) Oh yeah!
There's something about, like, a funky bass and, like....
excited shouting over it, that's
so appealing to me!
It makes songs so much more fun.
The bass part's so quiet though! I wish the instrumentals were a little bit louder.
But maybe it's because they're gonna build in the texture.
Whose crunchy harmony is in the vocals?
(hyped over tuba cannon) AHHH!!
(in love)
Love it - the tuba was missing its mouthpiece!
And now we get the first - I think this is like the first...
full melody of the song?
We got a tiny bit in the verse.
But it's all around the same range - the shouting and the singing.
In the track, it kinda sounds like we have a little flute?
Or it could be a...
synth - oh, it's gone now.
(disappointed pout)
I'll talk about it when the chorus returns.
Cute hits with the-
the brass?
(surprised) Oh!
I like that they choose to include...
(so intrigued)
Like there's like a harp-esque instrument?
And some other higher synths?
(noting a shift) We have the color change
to a, you know, the more hip-hop rap section we catch some of the bright synths in.
Yeah, it's the pre-chorus and chorus [that] has more sung parts.
There's like this-
(siren noise)
(more attempts to imitate)
(what am I doing)
instrument.
(vocalizing the progression)
It's the progression.
And now back to a dark section!
(this kinda gives me Love Cherry Motion vibes)
Just taking out-
(satisfied) Whoo!!
(SATISFIED) I'll shut up and talk later!
Nice change!
Ooh, add some reverb to the end of the note!
And now we're building back up.
Finally back (to the chorus).
Do you guys hear that? It's kind of panned a tiny bit to the right.
It's like...
(mimicking synth noise)
(someone make this into a video game sound effect)
Do you hear that?
Oh my god! She was-
(imitating the tuba spinning girl)
going crazy with that tuba!
One last time (through the shout section)!
Yeah!!!!
Yo, this... this...
This type of song - like I was starting to say at the beginning,
sorry, I talked so much during this song,
Um,
was like - so we have, like, youthful shouting, over
electri- it's, like, a funky electric guitar, funky bass, horn line?
I LOVE this - this vibe!
It's like, it's perfect for summertime, and
it's always so fun to watch,
and it gives me a lot of energy.
Other songs that come to mind - is, like, Elris' 'Pow Pow'
And Nature's 'SOME (You'll Be Mine)'.
I love this really bright sound coming from girl groups,
and I'm really excited to see where this group goes!
So, I'm just gonna quickly go back to the bridge and then...
um, because I really liked the - the
(conjuring up word magic)
like the sonic change to
darker synth sounds where they take out the higher register synths.
(counting off)
Yeah, we start that off with like a - byuu!! - synth sound.
We have some chromaticism in the synths!
Where it like - goes up to smaller intervals.
And we change to a very elongated (soundscape).
The transitions are pretty darned seamless and, like, immediate.
This 'da-da-da! da da da!' - also, like, PRISTIN-esque sound too.
(confirming) Yeah.
It's like-
da-da-da-da-Da! da-da-dA! da-da-DA-da-da!
I love - I love the inflection,
that helps make the song become more playful.
And it's also catchy to say along!
(mimicking the inflection again)
You know? Stuff like that.
Um, while watching this music video, and when we reached-
(laughing)
the tuba part, let's see...
I had flashbacks.
(counting off)
Like, using the tuba as like a cannon?
I had flashbacks to high school with my youth orchestra,
where I think it was like during our lunch break or something, during rehearsal, when-
(laughing in band shenanigans)
I might have been - yeah,
I might have been writing for the newspaper from my high school on the satire section,
and all I did was write about band,
and - and orchestra.
And so we took this picture,
of my friend with a tuba,
like,
pretending as if it was like a cannon or like a gun, like, hoisted on his shoulders,
while, like, I was like dead on the floor with a French horn as my shield and a trumpet as my sword and then like...
my other friend was like fighting him off with more instruments?
Captioner's Note: As another former band kid? Double confirmation.
Good times, good times.
Classical instruments can be weapons both
(lost in tuba thought)
emotionally, for the soul...
And physically.
Because you - you don't want to be hit over the head.
I can't imagine how marching bands, um,
in all their choreography, might end up being whapped by, like, a trumpet.
That would be the most painful thing ever in existence.
(snapping out of it) Anyways! Anyways, the song, the song.
It was fun. It was nice.
Um...
At moments, I wish that the instrumentals would poke out a little bit more,
but I liked the contrast with the darker sections, with the brighter sections,
and the overall youthful vibe,
and I'm very excited to see this group grow and come back and...
thanks so much for watching!
I'll see you guys later. Bye-bye!
So we're going to start at 2:23-
(the classic 'oww my hair' face)
(headphones clatter to the floor)
(cue Jim from The Office)
(laughter)
