🙏🏼Thank you all for your comments :) I will be doing more from TWICE and other artists/bands and musicians from Korea. Thank you for your subscriptions and sharing this video too🤙
Please Reviews Album Twice Eyes Wide Open & Taste Of Love. Thanks
hi~ i loved the reaction video. also hope you can react to the side tracks from the same album 'Taste of Love' :)
if you want to do album review, be careful for copyright. you can go to other platform like Patreon or split the album to 3 songs max per part.
and it's would be really interesting when you review 'eyes wide open' and 'taste of love'
have a good day. :)
Great video, i recommend to you:
Twice - I can't stop me
TxT - Blue Hour
Bts - Fake Love
Brave girls - We ride
You’ll love KPop. There’s a great focus on melody and their production draws inspiration from different genres and even uses Western producers. If you focus strictly on musicality you’ll love it. I’m not a native Korean speaker either but I can appreciate the music for how it’s structured and you seem to be on the same wavelength. So enjoy!
Dad : I don't like kpop
Me : Try this one
Dad : Its actually really good
0:46 MV = Music Video
2:28 TWICE is the best-selling K-pop girl group. Their album sales exceeded 10 million copies (counting in Korea and Japan alone). They are the most awarded too. Their producer, JYP, is one of, if not, the most accomplished K-pop singer-songwriter/record-producer. He wrote and composed this song. He also happens to be the founder (and former CEO) of the company.
4:34 You might want to see the subtitles. I think it’ll help you see how the words flow with the music. (Particularly with the rap part in this video.) They usually mix English words and phrases in their songs. Also, I think people won’t mind you replaying parts of the song to read the translation, etc.
12:40 You’re in for a treat! TWICE’s discography is vast. They have hits after hits after hits. They even sound different each time but there’s always that TWICE feel to it. Their b-sides are even awesome.
Anyway, nice reaction! Enjoy the journey. Mahalo 💕
What she said.
As a songwriter and composer myself, I can really relate to how busy you look when you're listening; trying to find the sounds and connecting the dots. I find TWICE music to be very unique, and obsessive.
TWICE have different style and genre of music to their songs.
- I don't even know if the bossa nova has been used for a K-Pop single but there were latin songs. That's not rare to find this structure and amount of chords changing in K-Pop but the quality is certainly there with JYP, an experimented composer and creator of the company. TWICE is one of the biggest female groups in the K-Pop history and they also have consistent albums since a while.
- TWICE are versatile artists but regarding the production, they're only used to write their lyrics... for now.
- Let me know if you would be interested by something else. Maybe their previous single 'I can't stop me' (synthwave) and one of the 2 last albums. This single is part of 'Taste of love' and 'ICSM' from 'Eyes wide open'
Thanks for the reaction
Chaeyoung co-composed one of their songs in their japanese album, &Twice, titled, How you Doin'. That's her first time on it. Waiting for the future, if she'll continue to do so in their upcoming albums 💕
@@lizkidadle9732 Yeah true... I wanted to express that at the beginning but I gave up. I wonder when they'll do it again.
mamamoo's words don't come easy is bossa nova influenced!
@@comsatteur6893 I was talking about the singles but egotistic had latin inspirations
I love this song too but I very sad when someone said JYP should stop compose their song to TWICE or ITZY just they didn't like this song or think that it's too old style of JYP
I've seen a lot of reactions to this song, but reactions like these are the best kinds for me. You see other people enjoy and learn from them. Thank you for taking time to review and dissect the song, and the song was produced, written, and composed by the same person, the founder of their company JYP Entertainment - Jinyoung "Asiansoul" Park, credits goes to him and TWICE who sang and performed the song beautifully with the dance choreo.
I agree! Really appreciate the care and attention to detail in your reaction and review of the song! TWICE, and many other kpop groups have some really innovative and musically compelling songs I think you’ll really enjoy! I’m excited to see your reaction to more in the future! ☺️
0:55 M/V is basically a short form for Music Video. Kpop sometimes release teasers or different versions of the song and its a way to distinguish them.
Say Something by TWICE is a song I strongly suggest listening to! It’s one of their best songs and it’s beautifully composed!
Say Something is Twice's city pop hidden gem.
Say Something is great! When I first heard it I immediately remembered Miki Matsubara's Stay With Me. Didn't know Say Something would be a city pop song back when I try to listen to it for the first time, but now I keep on listening to it on repeat. Twice really are amazing artist who are not afraid to experiment with their songs' concepts and genre. Their discography is as diverse and inclusive as their group that consists of Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese nationalities, and 9 members with uniquely distinct personalities from each other but still functions perfectly and compatibly as one group.
As a brazilian, i’m so proud with this song bcs is Bossa Nova (it’s a Brazilian genre) I LOVE IT!
Twice is that one group who is really bold in trying new sounds every comeback. As an artist, I love how they continue to try new things, which made them the 3rd gen group with the most growth musically speaking imo. The guts it took to have this as a title track since they're in an industry where edm/heavy sound is the most prominent. Twice's discography is one of the most diverse along with Red Velvet's (another girl group). They have songs for every mood.
Yes they have songs for every mood. Thats what I love about these groups(diverse discography).
yesss 🥰
Yeah you right
I never feel bored with Twice because despite how many songs they release I never get bored. This year alone they’ve already tried so many different styles of music and each of the songs sound different such as alcohol free, SOS, Strawberry Moon, good at love and in the summer. People really underestimate how diverse and great their discography is.
Yes. They also have a very diversed discography along RV. But sadly, many people shit on Twice's music. I call then IDIOTS.
This is the complete opposite sound going on in Korea, Twice is one of the most unique groups in terms of doing all genres
Some notable groups would be LOONA and Red Velvet when it comes to diversity with their title tracks as well. It's kind of a nice break from all the trendier music we have going on
@@starlitsong8456 Actually, considering the whole discography of twice, if not the best, they are definitely at the top in terms of diversity in music. Them being the kpop girl group that has the most explored music genres, it makes them also notable as others
As for the source:
th-cam.com/video/53VIIHVmc3s/w-d-xo.html
@FIGHTFANNERD9 I mean, outside their title tracks? Not really. I doubt you could even say that if you haven't even listened to their b-side music.
@@salceds LOONA’s past three title tracks sound like every boy group song made in the past 3 years
@@samihanna7719 So What is just your standard 4th Gen alt. girl group song, Why Not isn't even close to anything I heard from any group in the past 5 years meanwhile PTT was definitely more boygroup-like it's still far more original with the Bollywood inspired instrumentation.
Most of LOONA's strengths come from their diversity within the mainstream and besides, if you want good music that isn't reminiscent of boy group title tracks they have 5 hours worth waiting for you.
TWICE has so many songs that hook many people especially their No.1 Hit Song from them "CHEER UP" and their most views in TH-cam "TT" which get 500+ Million Views
Such a positive reaction and you didn't even see the very visual mv which is half of their charm and success. I love Twice.
the thing with kpop is you’ll never know what’s coming. kpop producers would usually go over the top and would rely more on complexity, weird song structures, sudden rhythmic changes, etc rather than for a track to be predictable for the mainstream’s liking. there are a vast variety of genres that differ to one’s own taste. alcohol-free is a sudden switch of sound (bossa nova) which is very new for twice, as they’re known for their upbeat and energetic title tracks; it really takes on that bold move for them to release such a calm song like this that puts them out of their box and would lay out their versatility in their discography a little further. alcohol-free is just the tip of the iceberg, with that said, i really hope that you could dive in to more of kpop! it is a fun experience as a casual listener.
and to add, twice were known for their consecutive cutesy concept as it caters the asian market, but as they grow throughout the years, they gradually are switching onto their mature side which is the twice we know today. btw thanks for reacting! we really love the genuine reactors like you out there. keep it up 👍
The fact that the guitars and strings in this song are real musical instruments. This is pretty rare in pop music.
This really is a calming song to me.
Felt so happy and yet relaxed after listensing :-)
React more to TWICE please :-)
TWICE's Cry For Me, Feel Special, I Can't Stop Me, and Breakthrough MVs.
MV = Music Video.
react to TWICE MELODY AND PERFORMANCE PROJECT too
oh i'd LOVE to see him react to likey, TT or i can't stop me!!!
Quick back story = The "JYP whisper" at the beginning is for JYP the artist/composer/producer/song writer/ and owner of the label. He has written over 55 #1 hits (in South Korea) many of which have won "song of the year & album of the year & artist of the year". I only mention this because as a composer, you might get a lot of negative comments about the man. For some reason internet trolls have taken to hating on the guy for no reason. People can say whatever they want about him, but he is a brilliant song writer. He has written songs in many genres, one of his own recent releases has a "swing" vibe, and another has a "disco" vibe.
Interesting fact... the man loves American music. He even named all the studio rooms and practice rooms in the label's building after American artists... Madonna, Michel Jackson, Bobby Brown, etc...
Great comment, I'm so confused as to why international kpop fans have all decided to hate on him recently, it's absolutely ridiculous
@@afia7425 It just proves that (some) people just believe and follow whatever they read on the internet. For example = Dahyun and Chaeyoung did a cover of JYP & Rain's "Switch To Me". Kpop fans praise their cover, but don't even realize that it's actually a JYP song that they are praising. 😂
Switch to Me is actually Rain's song, JYP is the guest vocal on it. It wasn't released under "JYP Official", but under Rain. Good song either way. The thing I like best about DubChaeng's version is that it's basically a parody making fun of the fact that Rain and JYP (especially) are old.
@@robertlawrence2609 Do you think Rain made himself? He was a JYP artist. BTW se7en was actually more successful than Rain. Se7en is yge. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Migs True, but JYP has written tons of songs for other artists. By that logic, any time anyone praises most of Twice's, Wonder girls', or Miss A's songs, they're actually praising JYP. Where is the line supposed to be drawn?
New Rule:. From now on, anytime anyone gives credit to a song, they must search and find out who wrote it and give the author the credit, no matter who actually sings it.
I recommend listening to "I Can't Stop Me" from Twice. it's a different and refreshing music
Really entertaining! Thanks for choosing TWICE MV!
TWICE is a 9-member korean girlgroup and MV stands for Music video!
Great analysis!
I really recommend Feel Special. its the most unique song of theirs
this song's composer is Jin Young Park(jyp) . he is really famous singer and dancer in korea. also label boss of JYP entertainment. he is legendary artist in South Korea.
This sort of song is probably sort of an anomaly in the greater scheme of kpop, but the writer/composer/producer JYP (Jin Young Park) is a little more eclectic in his elements than many of the other kpop producers, who tend to have a more electronic or hip hop bent. But the mastering at JYP (the company not the man) is almost always well done. Edit: punctuation.
i REALLY recommend reacting to TWICE's new album Taste Of Love! The songs are all amazing and every single side track lyrics was written by members of TWICE! (First Time written by Jihyo, Scandal and SOS written by Dahyun, Conversation written by Sana, and Baby Blue Love written by Nayeon)
Reacting to the album will get that video blocked or get his channel striked with copyright. Better to set up a Patreon page for that.

Kpop caught my attention when I was 12 and now I am 22 and I find that in Korea music of all genres and times is overall really valued. There are variety of genres (hip hop, pop, rock, trot, rnb, ballads) that all get their moment to shine and are made with great attention to quality. Many really talented artists out there to explore 😊 I really like how you are so open to music and genuinely enjoy it and I enjoyed the technical breakdown and commentaries as well👍
Thank you for this reaction! It's unusual to find on TH-cam professional analysis! Thank you for checking on Twice. May I suggest you their previous album "Eyes wide open" : it's full of good and interesting songs!
I was smiling as I see you smiling and enjoying the song. I'm so glad you liked the song. I suggest for you dive more into kpop because they like to combine different genres that you don't usually hear and don't expect
Very refreshing to see and hear someone who knows his shit and is damn good at it critiquing music! Lovely channel!
K-Pop is really an amazingly vast genre. There's a reason why my playlist exploded from about 200 songs to almost 2,000 songs within a year of getting into Kpop. Welcome to the rabbit hole!
You've already received a lot of suggestions but if I may, I'll also give you my top 10 favourite groups:
10: *Twice.* The one you've heard here. Started off very cutesy but have recently become more mature. My favourite song is Love Foolish, a b-side from their 2019 EP Feel Special. It's vastly different from Alcohol-Free but still amazing, and also co-written by Momo, who's one of the members.
9: *Stray Kids.* A boy group from the same company, JYP. Completely self-producing, more hip hop oriented. They just won Kingdom, a big boy group competition show. Favourite song is Side Effects, the title track from their 2019 EP Clé: Yellow Wood. That one draws strong influences from Psytrance which is not something you get a lot of in Kpop.
8: *Everglow.* A girl group with a very strong girl crush concept. Favourite song is La Di Da, the title track on the 2020 EP -77.82x-78.29. La Di Da is not just my favourite Everglow song, it is the absolute best Kpop song I've ever heard. A straight up 80s synthwave banger.
7: *Red Velvet.* One of the most popular girl groups in Korea. They have two sides to them. The red side is more upbeat, poppy and summery and the velvet side is focused on RnB and some ballads. Favourite song is Bad Boy, the title track on their 2018 album The Perfect Red Velvet. An RnB track that I didn't like that much at first but really grew on me over time.
6: *NCT.* This might be cheating because NCT is actually comprised of 3 fixed smaller groups (NCT 127, NCT Dream and WayV) and one rotational group which chooses different members each time depending on the song (NCT U). All together, they currently have 23 members. Favourite song right now is 90s Love by NCT U, from the 2020 album Resonance, Pt. 2. As the name implies, it's a 90s inspired hip hop track.
5: *Oneus.* Another very diverse boy group. They went from the ultra agressive No Diggity in January straight to the groovy, Michael Jackson inspired Black Mirror in May. My favourite song, though, is A Song Written Easily, from the 2020 single In Its Time. A very strong EDM track that's still quite emotional.
4: *Mamamoo.* THE. BEST. VOCALISTS. IN. KOREA. PERIODT. Their live performances sound better than the studio recordings, it's insane. They started out in 2014 with very jazzy and swingy music, similar to stuff from the 30s. As a huge fan of Electroswing, I love that music so much. They have branched out into other genres since then and my favourite song is Egotistic from the 2018 EP Red Moon. Also a Latin inspired song with god-tier vocals. It would be an absolute dream come true to attend one of their concerts.
3: *Ateez.* My favourite boy group. I can't even really describe their style, you just have to hear it for yourself. Quite powerful, but also sometimes very emotional stuff. My favourite song is Take Me Home, a b-side from their most recent 2021 EP Zero: Fever Part.2. It's quite similar to Everglow's La Di Da, in the sense that it's also an 80s synthwave banger with a bit of a surprise at the end of the song. I won't spoil it, you'll just have to hear it yourself. Take Me Home is easily my favorite boy group song and a very close second favourite for Kpop overall.
2: *Loona.* A group with quite an interesting pre-debut periodt, where, starting in late 2016, they revealed each of the 12 members one at a time with her own single and MV. Along the way, they formed 3 sub-units and in 2018, they finally debuted as a whole group. Their discography is extremely diverse, including Jazz, Ballads, Classical, RnB, EDM, Hip Hop, various kinds of Pop, etc. Apparently, their upcoming comeback will incorporate elements from Bollywood? And then there's my favourite song, Why Not, the title track on the 2020 EP [12:00]. I don't even know what genre that is supposed to be. One of the weirdest songs I've heard and I absolutely love it!
1: *Dreamcatcher.* Not just my favourite Kpop group, but my favourite band overall. I watched their online concert in March and can safely say, if that had been an in-person concert, it would've been the best concert I've ever attended, hands down. All of their title tracks have a rock/metal-heavy sound but they explore many different genres on the b-sides. My favourite song is Black or White, a b-side on their 2020 album Dystopia: The Tree of Language. Similar to Oneus' Black Mirror, it's one big groovy Michael Jackson hommage. Even the choreography is very much inspired by him.
Sorry this got so long but I'm just very passionate about these groups!
now this is what makes this one unique. most kpop groups in korea release really loud edm tracks and it's just edm here, edm there. twice didn't follow the trend with this one and decided to release a chill bossa nova track as a summer song.
AS you have rightly mentioned, this is the tip of the iceberg.
Hope you will discover much, much about this industry, which is now popular across the world for its innovation, creativity and style. It transcends language and nations, and is exactly what music is about.
There are so many, but if i may, I would recommend the group Mamamoo.
They stand out for their strong vocals and incredible musicality. And most importantly, they stand against the tide of visually driven, music-video-dominant culture right now.
You can have a look at their most recent song "Where are we now"
and a look at their talent as they sing a compilation of their hits over the years, continuously for 15 mins, live, Acappella-style in the video "Mamamoo Killing Voice Dingo Music"
You've gotten a new subscriber! Hope you find more joy in this journey!
I love your quality review!
what caught me to this comeback is the background trumpet on its chorus, it's really satisfying to hear
I really love to hear comments from honest and reliable reactor. This was really nice. I hope you can react to the whole album, TASTE OF LOVE.
A year has passed and Still, one of the best honest and technical reactions to a KPOP song; ever.
You can see in his eyes and unconscious gestures, what a ride that was for him. And for us.
favourite comment here!
My favorite thing about music from South Korea (across pop, hip hop, R&B, rock, and even ballad singers) is the combination of so many different types of sounds, instruments, techniques, and even languages from all over the world and across many different genres. Everything that are you saying here just makes me want to scream *YES THIS IS WHY I LOVE K-POP SO MUCH* especially when you said "I LOVE STRINGS." I can't wait to see you see more TWICE and music from South Korea. TWICE is my favorite group, but there is so much good music coming out of SK that I know you will love if you enjoyed this.
You can turn CC in their Music Videos so that you can understand the lyrics 😊 thank you for being open minded in reacting to kpop 💕
As someone who grew up listening Latin music, salsa, merengue, bachata it's so cool having a song like this coming from an industry like kpop. There's so much ear candy, layers, textures that feel so familiar yet new which is what I love. Latin style songs in kpop more often than not are either a hit or a miss but this is THE highlight among them
you look really enjoy this music, thank you
I recommend listening to the album "Taste of love" ... my favorite song "Baby Blue Love"
same
Yessss
Mine is first time
Hey there, Decomposer!
Another Oldmann here!
As a young’un in Kpop, I think you would also appreciate the awesome arrangements of “Red Velvet.”
Such as “Dumb dumb” (big horn section feature), “Russian Roulette” (nice harmonies), and “Bad Boy” (awesome bad-girl lounge track)
You’d also like everything by the rock-Kpop girls Dreamcatcher. (Just start anywhere, or with “Boca”)
Rock on!
Subscribed. Such a good break down! I hope you try to listen to I Can't Stop Me by Twice. It's 80's synth pop. Twice's mix of organic instruments with digital synths make them have the best produced songs in modern pop and kpop.
Of the music I listen to Kpop has some of the most interesting instrumental tracks I've ever heard. The producers of these songs do a really good job of making the music engaging and it always has a lot of depth. I highly suggest listening to artists like ITZY, BTS, and Sunmi. Their music never fails to amaze me
I'm sure you would like i can't stop me as well! Their versatility is real! And they always keep it fresh while keeping the "TWICE feel" in every song
Twice is known to release music that is unexpected. You never know what type of genre they are going to sing next. That’s why they’re so famous. They can go from cute, to edgy and pop to bossa nova. One of the best discographies in Kpop. No song is alike.
I love the fact that i don't understand anything of the tecnical stuff your're saying, but this makes me wanna study about those terms. Also, TWICE, JYP and everybody that works with them are so talented, they are an inspiration for sure
b-side songs scandal and SOS are amazing 😀👏
As a fan of TWICE, I always cheer for you and thank you for your reaction video!!
Thanks for reacting to TWICE! Please react to their other songs, all of their songs are bop and catchy. I SUBSCRIBED~
Park jin young is the writer and arranger of this song, he has also written several songs for western singers, such as Will smith's song with titled, i wish i made it, Mase with the song the love that you need, and many more but i forgot, and Park Jin Young himself is the biggest fan of Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown and Madonna, and he is one of the best producers in the world. Anyway thanks for honest reaction to TWICE
Oh, you have just entered a huge new world. K-Pop is more a generic term with many genres and mixes of genres. Welcome in the rabbit hole!
This is one of my favorite songs from TWICE...as you said, I can't really say this style or sound is representative of KPOP, not even of TWICE themselves for that matter...be prepared for an eclectic genre mashing mix coming your way! But good to see you had fun! My other favs from TWICE are *Feel Special* and *Likey* to name a few
music by J.Y. Park, their own boss also senior in K-Pop scene, and the arrangement by J. Y. Park and one of JYP Entertainment's producer Lee Hae-sol, and I reccomended you to listen to one of J. Y. Park song like "Honey", "Still Alive", "When We Disco" with Sunmi, or "Switch to Me" with Rain
It is very enjoyable to watch the videos of people who are knowledgeable about music. thanks for this nice video. I enjoyed watching..
I enjoyed TWICE's music video reaction video! I love the choreography and rhythm of Alcoholfree!
I didn’t even know you had this channel sir, I’ve followed the other for awhile, so that’s my fault. These girls are really talented and have a great team behind them, putting arrangements together that just make their voices shine. Their latest album is a far cry from this type of sound, but they go into ballads, dance sounds, retro vibes, all kinds of stuff. Even some darker songs can be found here and there. I’ve only VERY recently taken a dive into their library, but I’ve loved every moment of the journey :) thank you for reacting to this!
From where I come, we pay respect to "old people" because they have more life experience! Just like in this video, I learned a lot, hope to see more reactions and analysis to biggest kpop songs (personnal suggestion of kpop group: twice, blackpink and red velvet)
thanks for reaction 😍🥰
TWICE is not only produce regular genre of Kpop song ,they try a lot of concepts and genres , they're amazing artist 💖
recommend you give Sohyang a listen...one of the best voices in Korea currently.
i think you would LOVE their new mini album! it has this song on it along with 5 others. it is sooo good
I wish you the very best of luck with kpop and so nice honest reaction
Eyes wide open side tracks have lots of good musics too like "hell in heaven" or "say something" for a classy vibes
i just keep coming back to this, truly a happiness pill for everyday
Great to see more people see how great Kpop is!
Small explanation about the Kpop scene: Kpop is an umbrella term for Popular Korean Music which includes Khiphop, Krnb, idol music(which is what Twice is) and more.
Idol music is characterized by being mostly groups, not restricted to one definitive style of music(I've seen groups go from heavy EDM drops, to fun reggaeton vibes then switch to a soft ballad, these groups be wild with their genre choices), and often include choreography in their performances.
Idol music recommendations:
B.A.P "Warrior", an older sing from 2012 that was a big hit in the community when it came out.
BTOB "I'll Be Your Man(Pray)", an underrated gem from a group known for their incredible vocals and with rap skills to match.
Red Velvet "Zimzalabim", a strange song that was not well received for how strange it was as a song before being accepted as one of the iconic songs of its year.
If you're interested in the Krnb and Khiphop scene, I'd be glad to drop suggestions, but I'll keep it at idol music for now! Please enjoy!
I’m also an old composer. I’ve been listening to Kpop since 2018, and quite frankly, I’m addicted. Everything you said about the compositions is true. Helpful hint: turn your subtitles on so you can understand the lyrics.
Omg sir i love your reaction! really love how you talk in depth abt the music, Hope you'd react to their Eyes Wide Open album,its one of the most critically acclaimed albums in 2020 and some of the songs were written by the members themselves
Twice have more beautiful songs like:
Feel special
Likey
More and more
Fancy and more songs hope you can react to them and other groups too like bts,itzy, straykids and many more and I'm also your new subscriber.
This genuine and honest opinion about the music is what I love the most. It makes me appreciate the music more. I love Twice and I love this video. Thank you.
Please check out the rest of their album. I think you'll love it
Obsessed with this song, and I feel even more justified now! Hahaha. It's so nice to hear an actual composer comment on the song. This is def one of my favorite Twice songs.
If you're into exploring more Kpop, "Next Level" by Aespa is one helluva ride. Many people say it's "3 or 4 songs in 1." They definitely do some crazy shit in it, including a complete key change (I believe) and time signature and tempo change! Would love to hear your reaction to it!
Fascinating to find this! I’ve been listening to your other channel for months… as a metal fan… but I’m also a Twice fan so great to see you react to them.
You mentioned the quality of the voice… actually Twice always have every one of the 9 members sing in each song - and there are TH-camrs dedicated to working out a ‘line distribution’ showing the % breakdown. Most KPop groups are carefully selected to mix vocal Timbres… and it’s quite easy for a fan to differentiate between them all (I usually manage it!).
If you wanted to try some more KPop, the group ‘Red Velvet’ has some interesting compositions. I’d recommend ‘Peek-a-boo’ or ‘Rookie’.
Your comments were well said, thank you for putting out some senses with regards to current music
I appreciate that the video creator likes every comment. Great video! It’s nice to see someone break down the technical aspects of this song.
this song is actually more of an experimental song from kpop
what i will say about kpop and their composers is that they have figured out a way to bridge different genres of music and cultural influences into one cohesive track and it's one of the main reasons why kpop has a such a huge appeal on a global scale
TWICE has A LOT of good song, excellent composition and the way they sing always bring something Extra! I really really love Taste Of Love but its a "summer song", and in kpop summer song are more "classic" composition, summer songs are light, fun and bright.
So, I think, as a composer, you would have more interest with song like, I Cant Stop Me, Fancy, Cheer Up, SIGNAL (this is a VERY interessing composition by JYP), Like Ooh Ah... Those songs are more "kpopish"!
I can tell you are really honestly in for the music. Never even gazed at the video. 👌 Actually as their fan this is their most raw and pure comeback musically.
You just won another subscriber, your reactions are so cute :)
this might get lost in the comments but i LOVE your energy dude. i love going in depth about why i love a song and to hear a composer go so in depth about what makes this work got me so engaged and excited - ive listened to this song many many times but when that piano kicks in i get giddy like its the first time. gonna go watch a bunch more of your stuff now :)
If you love TWICE's music please react to more. We would love to see more of you digging in to the "Nation's girl group". Twice has accumulated a lot of fans and supporters all over the world because of their breathtaking music.
please react to their b-side tracks too. I've been listening to kpop since 2010 but their songs and everything is all really unique. Their b-sides are really well worked. some are better than the title track. Their vocal range is no joke after 2019.
React more from twice please listen also to the bsides of taste of love(the album where alcohol free is in) the bsides were written by members💕
-alcohol free
-first time
-sos
-scandal
-Conversation
-baby blue love
Watching and listening to Alcohol Free is PURE JOY :-)
It was so fun to watch someone who's never experienced Kpop before enjoying it so thoroughly! This particular song is a little different to what is out right now in Korea but I hope you continue to react to more Kpop as I think you'll be surprised!
As someone who's passionate not only about kpop, but about music itself, this video made me really happy. I love to see a reaction video where I can leave having learned something. I really appreciate you taking the time to give your honest thoughts and break things down bit by bit for us. Really wonderful content.
I’m late, but when you see MV on kpop videos, it just means “Music Video.” ☺️
It would be awesome to see a reaction/breakdown of Twice’s ‘Feel Special.’ In my opinion it’s their best song of their entire discography, singles and B-sides.
you should listen to "Perfect World" also by TWICE! it's one of their Japanese singles and they released it right after this song
2:47 unfortunately, this sound and composition are rare in kpop, Twice happened to be one of few artists, or group, that are experimental and have the guts to try something different.
Fyi, edm based music or 'noise' music still dominate the kpop landscape.
definitely check the rest of the album, Twice’s “Taste of Love”
Try more of Twice or BTS, please. It's another world that you'll enjoy so much. And i'd like to see your reactions!!!
The reactions was just so heartwarming. I am crying 😭
While I can tell that you genuinely enjoy the song composition, I have to say "thank you" for being so respectful of this type of pop considering the other genres (ex. rock) you say that you usually enjoy. I greatly appreciate how you reacted to this song.
Kpop groups tend to try a lot of different styles and concepts (even within one album) so I think you will have fun checking out the korean music scene !
Your reaction video of this! Finally! Ive been waiting for a composer to do this to Twice. Like thier songs are great!
I'll subscribe, hope there's more twice reaction from u soon
I REALLY HOPE
This is the kinda reaction video I want more of, PAY ATTENTION TH-cam content creators, this is where it's at.
Instant liked and subscribed.
Thank you :)
oh my god this is what i've been saying!!! i've been looking for an alcohol free reaction video that brought enough attention to the instrumentals of this song for like a month now!!! my god this is some GOOD producing and using of instruments related to the latin genre of music. the most precious parts of this piece are the ones involving the acoustic guitar and the piano in the background. i've subscribed to you channel, thank you for this video!!
he looks so happy ahhhhh i love to see this
You should definitely look at the other songs from Twice ahah thanks for the knowledge you shared !
Hi! Thanks for reacting and dissecting this from your perspective!! It’s so interesting and I’ll definitely love to get your take on more Kpop!
I’d love to get your take on Stray Kids God’s Menu or Back Door. Definitely some of my favorites.
MV or M/V means music video.
