Ben: replaces the percussion yep, and that funky bass
Kevin: Yes Yunyi: Funky
Naoki: Oh let's go!
shimon: very upbeat
Davis: Nice
Kevin: It kind of reminds me of Growl
Yunyi: ohhh Kevin: Yeah i was listening to that today
Emiel: this is pretty good
Lindsey: I like this because I'm trying to think of what it sounds like and it just does its own thing
Lindsey: like i just can't even think of what to compare it to
Emiel: Not sure about the aesthetic but the tune is good, tune is good
Henry: ohhhh spicyyyy
Fiona: spicy that's a spicy boy Henry: Jesus
Kevin: I feel like if this was one of the first kpop songs that i heard, I'd appreciate the funk vibe way more
Kevin: Because I've heard so many ones with the funk vibe now this is starting to be a little mediocre still very good
Henry: Dude with the long hair Fiona: It got hollow
Henry: I feel like we are one <3
Yunyi: Oh!! that was like a mario Kevin: Yeah
Davis: Seventeen
they're making it warm in here
Naoki: That was cool harmony there
Ben: Yeah this guitar is also killin' yeah
Fiona: Gotta getcha getcha
Henry: I all of a sudden this just kinda reminded me of the Saplings, that is also not true cause I've been listening to them like ALL the time
Lindsey: I would suggest against playing basketball in vans
Ben: Okay the band is really good at this, really good at this, the bassist is PRETTY killin' it
Emiel: I want someone to just drain a 3 right now
Fiona: Three pointerrrr henry: THAT DUDE
Jeremy: I really like the choreography, ohh and the video concept Gwen: yeah
Fiona: You're gonna trip on those tennis balls, makin' me nervous
Kevin: Oh I like this bridge!!! yeah
Gwen: It's like, will you date me? Here's a bagel
Jeremy: Here's a bagel? I would say yes, what? Gwen: Absolutely
Yunyi: I love that little... chiptune part Kevin: yeah yeah
Ben & Naoki: Oh!
That's his way of flirting
Kevin: Oh oh that chord gets me...
Emiel: Basketball, what a bonding experience
Kevin: Then it goes there, which is also awesome
Yunyi: Oh you know what? is this... in minor?
Kevin: ... yes
Yunyi: Oh wow
Henry: That man is my spirit animal
Kevin: But then it goes to F a lot
Fiona: I like that rapping
Henry: Scoops
Yunyi: It was so happy I though it was in major this whole time
Kevin: Right?
Both: Woahhhh
gwen: she said
Kevin: That's VI that's V, i and then V/VI or 5 of... yeah and then it goes back
Yunyi: yeah how did they make it sound so happy
Yunyi: I think it's just the funk Kevin: Yeah exactly
Naoki: ... are they all tryna ask her to prom or something?
Henry: What Fiona: Mansae mansae mansae AYE
Davis: AYE AYE AYE Lindsey: This is so cute, I really like this
Kevin: Dang... uh huh Yunyi: I would love to hear instrumental, like acoustic version of this
Gwen: There was something way up there and it wasn't even falsetto, well I'm sure it was but like Jeremy: Yeah it was
Gwen: STRONG Jeremy: It was strong- really yeah
Gwen: It was like Jeremy: OMG they're so cute, I thought she rejected him
Yunyi: I'm pretty sure it's this, pretty sure that's what this symbol is
Yunyi:... it says... 71 lol
Jeremy: The melody was good, it was like catchy, it was catchy yeah it was very.. poppy? I liked it a lot
Jeremy: I wasn't paying attention to the background music but if it didn't bother me I guess that's good?
Gwen: It was. so it was a pretty standard, almost like rhythm section but then there was just the electronic stuff just on top of it
Gwen: Like I felt like they wrote the song for like piano and guitar and then they were like "now let's make it a pop sensation" and they were like "add some synth!"
Jeremy: I didn't even hear the synth Gwen: I'm sure it was there, I wasn't listening for it but I'm sure it was there
Lindsey: It was very unique, were there horns in there? It's not like there was some trumpet?
davis: I like the guitar
Lindsey: It was really catchy but it wasn't really like too
Davis: You know they found a way to like keep saying the same thing, but saying it differently
Umu: So what'd you think about the music?
Fiona: It was happy I really liked the rap dude and I like cotton candy hair
Emiel: I like the groove, the beat was good
henry: the dude with long hair was my spirit animal
Fiona: There's this one part where it got all hollow sounding like
henry: drums but not much bass...it was good fiona: it was cool
Ben: Chord progression wise I thought was pretty bland, it was pretty poppy
Naoki: Yeah, I liked it though
Ben: Yeah no it's good! Like it's catchy but you know, it was like... mildly predictable?
Naoki and Umu: Shimon:
Umu: But otherwise the instrumentals....
Ben: Yeah the instrumentals were cool the bassist was killer, that bass line like his solos in the beginning and the middle were really good
Shimon: Yeah I feel like when we speak in terms of music theory it doesnt necessarily mean that we like it or don't like it... does that make sense?
Naoki: Something can be plain and good
ben: sometimes some of the subtlest cool cuz i think
Ben: One of the hard things about pop is that it's pretty simple, when you like look at it just sheet music wise but it's because it's like really refined to like
Ben: The really basics to what makes it work cause it's very easy once you take out some of those things for it to sound really awful
Ben: So it's super hard to write really catchy really good pop music but I.. yeah I think... naoki: that was good
Emiel: This is the best band I've seen by the way
Henry: emiel has a stan now Fiona: He's gonna become a carat!!! I'm kind of a carrot
Umu: ok! So the next one is gonna be a little unique, I'm trying out something new so seventeen is really known for their choreography cause their
Everyone: THEY'RE REALLY GOOD
Naoki: I wish I could dance like that
Ben: DUDE so much Naoki: I'd be like... DOPE
Umu: And because it's my number one favorite and also my number one favorite choreography
Umu: I'm gonna be giving you so --- so no one will hate me, so I'm gonna be giving you the option, do you wanna see the dance practice or the music video
Umu: I originally planned for you guys to act on both but sadly I found out that I do not have time to react to like three whole videos--- it just didn't fit into my schedule
Umu: But again this is a unique situation only because this is my favorite choreo of all time, I won't be doing this for like every single reaction video for that
Ben: Sure, yeah, we can just see the dance practice Naoki and Shimon:
Umu: Dance Practice?
Fiona: Uh I'm gonna go with the second one

Henry: Oh that was cool camera....thing.
Gwen: That girl is so cute though,

Henry: That's still like...one of the coolest things about-- aHHH THE DUDE WITH THE LONG HAIR MY SPIRIT ANIMAL
FIONA: they're doing the guitar thing again
henry: I love him what's his name I need to be him
Fiona: I wanna be the girl in the shopping cart! Life goals
Henry: who makes people explode
Yunyi: woah
Kevin: Oh the suspense, you know how to do it you know how it's done!
Yunyi: That falsetto!
Ben: Big band feel, again
Yunyi: Nice, this is what I say to this Kevin: Very nice
Fiona: It means they have a crush- they're feelin the feels, they caught the feels, therefore they explode Henry: "some people say dating is just dating"
Henry: Why are they on a Piano, Piano's aren't for climbing they're for playing!
Fiona: Woman why are you on my piano
Lindsey: Yeah they're like omg they have a very very VERY strong sense of rhythm-all of them- it's very clear in this it's like
Yunyi: Aw that was so sad Kevin: what a bridge
Kevin: It just feels like it keeps on changing Yunyi: I get it I get it! Cause none of them can score lol
Umu: ... what

Both: Kevin: I can't believe it... this shouldn't exist
Umu: YEAH WHOOOOO
Ben: Dude I'd be so bad at this Naoki: I think you'd be really good at the hip thrusts it'd be really great Ben:
Kevin: OMG forget butterflies in my stomach more like my chest turns into a pillow and then it explodes feathers
Gwen: yeah Jeremy: this is like a fun song to like dance around to...with your friends
gwen: that's why said that this is her favorite hype song
Fiona: I like this Emiel: Just a lot of---
Everyone: OH WHAT WHAT WHAT
Jeremy: he disappeared....into flames... Gwen: oh what
Everyone: Fiona: Kpop in a nutshell
henry: WOW THAT WAS GREAT! BAH!
Gwen: everyone just disappears in kpop
Yunyi: This is so good
Ben:
Lindsey: Awwww that was so good Davis:
Umu: So you were definitely a lot into the dance
Davis: Yeah I'm glad that we watched the dance Umu: were you able to also focus on the music?
Davis: yeah Lindsey: I focus more on the music in relation to the dance but
Lindsey: But I did focus on the music like
DAVIS: i was noticing how they go together so well
I like the background like the beats, the way the beats move with the dance Davis: Yeah I would say the beats too
Davis: The melody was very impressive, their singing was very impressive Lindsey: and the brass was pretty cool too
Umu: So I saw you guys caught how it changed right before every chorus every single time
Both: yes
umu: YES
Umu: that was like my favorite thing
Kevin: And right after the first chorus there's this section where it's just like and you know that hasn't appeared before
Kevin: It's like they're more, because as I said like right from the beginning I can tell it was very layered and the layering of the instrumentals was very good
Kevin: and there was a section where like all you hear was the and then there was singing, so it became much thinner, it's all about how there's three things and much more sparse it was and it worked very nicely
Kevin: and how like the chorus with all the brass they're kind of just doing like parallel octaves and so it's very different from that big full sound of the verse and when everything and it's very funky it just works super well
Yunyi: Just watching this word vomit in front of me Umu: yeah lol
Umu: Does Yunyi have any word vomit?
Yunyi: ... nice
Umu: What'd you like about this one musically? Emiel: Same thing as the last one Henry: Pretty straightforward Fiona: I like when the guitar does the
fiona: like that menanananeh sound in guitars idk what the term for that is but I like it
Emiel: They kind of added like a brass synth to it actually, it kind of sounded like, like electronic brass
Henry: Yeah, they could've easily used real instruments to play it...but ya know Emiel and Fiona:
Jeremy: I liked the brass, I thought that was so cool b/c its not like any of the other songs we've watched
Jeremy: I really liked the music video I thought it was really cool and the dancing is like amazing
Umu: Are you glad you watched the music video? Both: Yeah
Jeremy: Oh now I know what you're talking about! With the exploding hearts and the confetti!
Umu: yeah lol Jeremy: I like that yeah I like that
Gwen: Again, it looked like they were just getting shot cause there would be like just a hole
umu: it was like an elegant ...
puff
Gwen: Tag yourself I'm an elegant puff
Umu: You gotta look straight--- Kevin: WHAT A DAY
Umu: You gotta look straight into the computer and say it Kevin: *Camera
Yunyi: Nice
Yunyi: I wanna listen to that again Kevin: Yeah Umu:Yes!
Umu: Which one did you like better
Lindsey: What was the first one Umu: mansae, mansae mansae mansae
Lindsey: I think I like the second one better Davis: second one was nice yeah
Gwen: The first one Jeremy: I like this one better

Naoki: The first one
