Japan and Korea don’t really like each other on a political level albeit they are Allies. So having them sing in Japanese boosts them to super star level in Japan as well as Korea. To me it’s staggering they can do a concert in Seoul in one language a language Rose had to perfect and Lisa has to learn from scratch and then go to Tokyo two days later and do it in Japanese a new language for them all growing up. That’s dedication determination unbelievable work ethic and beyond inspiring. Just amazing. And financially genius
You really need to check out their japan concert. Concert ver. always hit different! trust me. Their charisma and swag comes naturally when they're in their own concert which more relax.
He already reacted to that😅😅 he forgot lol Edit: i dont think he forgot, rather just wanted to reacted to the japanese mv instead of the remix concert.
This version is especially made for their performances in Japan as after Korea, Japan is the country k-pop idols perform the most. Almost every k-pop group has their japanese versions of songs Plus, BlackPink doing english lyrics for their raps is just them pleasing the international fans too You should check out all of their japanese versions out. Especially, Pretty Savage and How You Like That
@@The_enthusiastic_one i'm just really disappointed with how you like that's jpn. version of rap. i didn't hear the word 'cockback' being present in the original version. it's messed up.
Yes all Blackpink's album got a Japanese version and usually the rap parts are translated in English. I personally prefer the original Korean version but you should definitely check out some live japanese version like Kill This Love.
hiiiiii, I recommend you to watch Now United's Wave Your Flag, Now United is international pop group that has 18 members from 18 different countries, this song was played in Miss Universe 2021 and Tokyo Olympics 2020 and it has Indian (SHIVANI PALLIWAL) and Korean member(HEYOON JEONG),
Japanese version is basically for promotion in japan, since japan is one of the biggest k-pop market. And other groups release japanese single.. but in Blackpink's case their company only translate the Korean song to Japanese with same MV.
Yeah singing part is in Japanese and rap in English They filmed some parts of the videos in Japanese to do this versions Can't wait for more of these reactions Thanks for an amazing start of the week Knox

for the japanese versions, yes--the whole song is going to be translated to japanese instead of korean, but the rap parts have actually been re-written, not translated. the attitude is typically the same, and they'll use some of the same key words, but the content is different.
I just wanna add that Knox is literally one of the only few reactors who actually gives Jisoo some love over her vocals and I absolutely love that! P/s: React to all their JP album versions while you’re at it hehe
Thank you for another BP reaction! Please also check out Rosé’s live covers from this Korean show Sea of Hope, you’ll be blown away by her live vocals!!
some reasons why they are the best female k-pop group : lisa: best female rapper & dancer 2021 jisoo: main visual of korea jennie: the it girls of korea 2021 rosé: award for the golden voice of korea
Did you just disrespect Jennie. C'mon she is the rapper of the group, I totally understand she didn't rap much this year but that doesn't mean she ain't the best rapper in the group. She is not just the IT GIRL . ✌
To add to some comments on here sometimes they add in scenes in the Japanese versions of their songs. Lovesick Girls is an example where they added in I believe about 10 to 15 seconds of newly shot scenes for some parts. It's little tweaks they do, but they also like to release different looking albums for their Japanese versions too. THE ALBUM released solo covers of the girls and they look fantastic in them!
the japan market is the second most important market for the kpop Industrie since it brings big profits. That's why the most Kpop groups release Japanese singles and japanese version of their songs and since they want that the japan market give interest to them they need to replace the korean raps in english since the most kpop Idols can't speak japanese that fast to rap in japanese unless their native language is japanese and that's why they singing in japanese and rap in english. I hope you understand
Before advertising their music oversea the korean industry (idk if it's just a kpop thing or not) went to the japanese market which obviously was closer and I guess easier to reach - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. So that's why kpop idols make japanese versions of their songs, the same way some of them do english version now. The english rap is just a Blackpink thing tho and they did it in all japanese versions if I remember correctly.
Hey knoxhill, in all Japanese versions are the rap parts in English and different lines. That means the rap parts are not converted from korean to English. These are complete new English rap parts. P.s. love your reactions from blackpink and eminem. Keep going on bro ✌
Blackpink release their songs in Japanese as well. This is because of a deeper cultural and political divide between Korea and Japan. All kpop groups release Japanese-langauge songs at some point (either of an song originally in Korean or a completely new and different song) for the Japanese market. That’s why in the YG training camp, they are thought Japanese (I am not sure in other entertainment companies). It is usually considered offensive for a kpop group/idol to sing in Korean in a concert in Japan. Fun fact: technically, the first “full” album released by Blackpink is the Tokyo Dome concert album-it has all of their songs in Japanese. Also, The Album has a Japanese version. You may want to check out the Japanese MV of Lovesick Girls. Blackpink singing in Japanese hits different, especially Jisoo since her voice suits Japanese very well.
Japan is the second largest music market after the USoA, and they learned japanese as part of their training.

From what I've seen of the translated lyrics, some of the original meanings can be rather different, even sometimes rather more explicit.
They do all the Japanese versions with English raps. And some of the videos have slightly different camera work. But Whistle, Boombaya, Stay, everything is different. One of the best English Lisa raps is in the Japanese version of Kill This Love.
@@idolmongunderrated1855 my comment is from a year ago, when I was still amazed by blackpink in general 😂 and you right! It’s always the same, that’s why I don’t stan them anymore
Knox my man, you gotta do a full concert reaction, either their Tokyo Dome or The Show, that’d be so dope, man. Also, if you want to hear more from Jisoo, you should check out her ‘Habits’ cover she did for The Show, she actually wrote the korean lyrics! Hope you’re doing better, Knox, stay safe. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I love this music video so much along with so many of there other music videos!!! It’s so full of symbolisms and hidden meanings!!!❤️❤️❤️ Here are some examples:🤍🌹🌷🌺 1: A burst of pink smoke gives Lisa wings, which represent flight and freedom. This strongly connects her and the pink cockatoo that appears later on. 2: Jennie is dressed as a colourful queen, high above the other chess pieces, which suggests that the black and white rules of chess don’t apply to her. This suggests that Jennie has decided to live her life by her own rules and will play the game her own way. Also As queen, Jennie is in a position to defend the black king while putting the white king in check. She easily takes out the white king, winning the game. 3: The fennec fox represents a person’s core values, and indicates a solitary or independent individual. Someone with a fennec fox personality, like Jennie, is both a pioneer and a leader. These people can thrive in society while also living their life in their own unique way. In some dream symbolism, a fennec fox serves as a warning to watch out for false friends. 4: BLACKPINK has included bird symbolism throughout this music video. First, Lisa appears with smoke wings, then she appears with a cockatoo, followed by Rosé swinging on a chandelier like a bird in a cage. In general, birds can represent freedom, but cockatoos have their own unique meaning. Cockatoos are associated with change and the celebration of self-love. Their flashy crest encourages other the show their true colours. In this case, that colour is pink! Rose-coloured cockatoos symbolize spontaneity and fearlessness. 5: Historically, the katana was the best-known weapon of the samurai, a powerful class of warriors from ancient and feudal Japan. Lisa may be channeling her inner samurai here, or be making a reference to the badass, katana-wielding heroine of the film Kill Bill. Either way, this sword represents strength and the determination to face one’s battles head-on. 6: In this scene, Lisa is surrounded by an eclectic collection of objects, including a shelf full of books. One of these books is Escape from Camp 14: One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West. This book tells the true life story of a man who escapes from a North Korean prison camp. This adds to the video’s themes of perseverance and freedom. 7: Behind Lisa is a blackboard loaded with BLACKPINK hints, messages, and references to previous songs, such as “As If It’s Your Last”. 8: Lisa wields BLACKPINK’s unique lightstick like a hammer. Like the katana, this lightstick adds to the video’s fight imagery. 9: Two Rosés stare in this scene. The Rosé in black looks up at the Rosé in white, who is on display like a beautiful statue. The white Rosé has, quite literally, been put on a pedestal and represents the version of herself that the public sees. This Rosé is covered in crystals and has been crowned like a queen. She looks too perfect to be real.The Rosé in black represents Rosé’s true self. She moves through the scene like a shadow, dressed in a much simpler outfit. This Rosé is not crowned because, underneath all the glamor, she is just an ordinary human being. 10: Lisa plays the offense with her sword and hammer lightstick, while Jisoo uses her umbrella as a shield. Jisoo’s umbrella protects her from the sparks that try to burn her. She stands glamorous and strong in black mourning clothes. This suggests that she has, and will continue to, survive every trial the world throws at her. At the end of it all, she will walk out of the wreckage, unscathed. 11: Jennie’s glam tank is yet another weapon that supports this video’s battle imagery. Like Rosé, she is divided into a black self and a white self. Her white self gives off frivolous, diva vibes, while the black self demands to be taken seriously. White Jennie rejects her own stereotype by throwing down her expensive goods and allowing Black Jennie’s tank to crush them. 12: In this scene, we see two Jisoos. One is an unchanging, infallible image. The other is a living, breathing, real person. Fans take admiring photos of her image, but as soon as she makes a mistake, the “fans” turn their phone on her like guns. This symbolizing how photos and social media can be used to build someone up as easily as they can tear someone down. It also shows how one little mistake can damage an idol’s image and turn admirers against them. 13: Rosé swings on this chandelier like a bird in a cage. As she swings, she causes the power to flicker, suggesting that the situation may be becoming precarious. She may keep swinging until the power completely goes out, the chandelier falls, and she breaks free of her cage. 14: Since wisteria vines bloom in spring and early summer, these flowers symbolize new life. Pink wisteria can also symbolize blossoming feelings of love. The wisteria in BLACKPINK’s video, however, are growing outside of their natural environment in near darkness. In spite of this, the flowers are thriving while changing the world around them into a more beautiful place. 15: Black traditionally represents evil while white represents good, but BLACKPINK seems to have altered their meanings. In this video, white may represent a beautiful and beloved, but also false, self, while black represents the members’ true selves.
hiiiiii, I recommend you to watch Now United's Wave Your Flag, Now United is international pop group that has 18 members from 18 different countries, this song was played in Miss Universe 2021 and Tokyo Olympics 2020 and it has Indian (SHIVANI PALLIWAL) and Korean member(HEYOON JEONG),
Happy to see you everytime you upload some sort of reaction videos about blackpink. I just hope that you will make a reaction video (in the future) on 'BAZINGA' by SB19 a Philippine Boy Group consisting of Josh, Pablo, Justin, Ken, and Stell. SB19 is the first Filipino boy group to be nominated on Billboard Music Awards as one of the Top Social Artists alongside with Blackpink, Ariana Grande, Seventeen, BTS, and SB19.
There are several of their songs that have a Japanese version. Usually either Jennie or Lisa or both change their raps for those versions. Boombayah, Whistle, Playing With Fire, Stay, As if it's Your Last, Forever Young, Really, See U Later, Kill This Love, Lovesick Girls, How You Like That, Pretty Savage and You Never Know. The Japanese version of Whistle also has an acoustic version.
Most of their songs have a Japanese version! While this is fun, if you wanted to branch out in the future I recommend Stray Kids Domino and My Turn by Cravity, and more girl groups like Everglow (My personal second fave after BlackPink), Red Velvet, and Twice :)
@@KnoxHill now that you done most of the audio tracks for most of blackpink songs have you considered doing the dance practice videos to get the visual perspective on the song
Yeah Changing the language in kpop songs is a very common thing. (G)i-dle is a kpop gg you reacted before and some of their songs have up to four different language versions e.g. Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese. Usually, each language represents one dedicated market. Also, it is easier to do such things if they have foreign members in the group
actually Lisa and Jennie always help compose the lyrics of the song or change it but YG entertainment doesn't want to give them credit and I found out this info in an American interview
@@msnjs1939 th-cam.com/video/BsVlYoaAnfE/w-d-xo.html Look at this link and finish watching rose saying that he saw Lisa change the instrument and song lyrics and rose said that Lisa and Jennie are great songwriters
@@user-uf2km9vr3d I have seen that interview. They also said that the producer writes for them. They said they sit back and watch him go. I think changing a word or two is not writing lyrics.
Japan is the second biggest music market in the world. Thats why Kpop groups do japanese versions/albums for the japanese market. and yes, the "non english" parts are sung in japanese.
You're good with multicultural appreciation in music, id say check out Lexi Liu, she's also part of KDA as the new comer. A reaction to her 'Manta' would be cool!
hiiiiii, I recommend you to watch Now United's Wave Your Flag, Now United is international pop group that has 18 members from 18 different countries, this song was played in Miss Universe 2021 and Tokyo Olympics 2020 and it has Indian (SHIVANI PALLIWAL) and Korean member(HEYOON JEONG),
I have a suggestion, there’s a solo R&B artist in Korea named Zion.T He was inspired by T-Pain back in the day in maybe the late 2000s. He gradually became more R&B as he experimented with his very unique voice and decided he would keep it that way. I think you would really like him. A specific song I recommend is *No Make Up* since it’s a good starter Or his appearance in *Dingo Killing Verse* where he sings multiple songs
Knox, Thanks for this reaction to BLACKPINK, you should check out more of their JP version songs. I really really want you to react to more of TREASURE. I am sure you will love their music. These are the songs you can check out - 1. My Treasure 2. Be With Me (나랑 있자) 3. Slowmotion 4. Boy 5. Come To Me (들어와) 6. I Love You (사랑해) 7. B.L.T (Bling Like This) 8. Mmm (음) 9. Orange (주황색) 10. Going Crazy (미져가네)

The rationale for rapping in English in Japanese version of original Korean songs. Well, singing in Japanese for a Japanese audience in Japan (a huge market for the K-pop industry) is a given. For rapping, the best thing would be also in Japanese. The problem is that the best Japanese-speaker in BlackPink is lead vocalist Jisoo, not the rappers of the group, Jennie and Lisa. These 2 girls are only competent enough in Japanese to sing, and to say a few simple sentences and phrases to interact with the Japanese audience. But they are excellent English speakers, esp. Jennie who spent 5 years in a boarding school in New Zealand from age 10 to 14 years old. As a matter of fact, when she was a trainee, she was the only one who could speak English and did so excellently. For this reason, she was trained primarily to become a rapper. She is the main rapper of the group. The reason for Lisa's excellent American-accented English is a mystery. Being a child from very rich parents, Lisa was probably sent to top-notched primary schools in Thailand, where English are likely well taught. And the fact that she grew up with a Swiss step-father, the only father she ever knows, is a bonus. But where she got her perfect American accent is a bit of a mystery. Most Korean commentators in S. Korean news media and TH-cam video reactors have expressed amazement that her Korean accent is 99 to 100% good, after only 4 years of learning it from nothing, from the age of 14. So, it must be that Lisa has a gift for acquiring languages. Back to English, it is reasonable to expect the first foreign language a Japanese would learn is English, just like any non-English speakers around the world, not Korean. Therefore rapping in English in the Japanese version of their songs makes perfect sense for the 2 BP rappers.
Knox, the singing is definitely ALL Japanese. They always produce Japanese versions of their songs (and there is a full Japanese version of their The Album) for the Japanese market/fans.
Before YGE and BigHit started aiming for the western market, they always focused on the Asian market. Some companies and groups have Chinese versions especially if the members are Chinese, yge sticks to Japanese.
Japan has the second biggest music industry after U.S.A. That is why many kpop artists debut in Japan. Try listening to their Japanese version of Forever Young. Jennie raps in Japanese.
This was so interesting. My suggestion for next time is you watching the Korean (OG) version and right after the Japanese version of the MV of LOVESICK GIRLS
I see you're done with all Blackpink songs . I'll recommend you to react to other YG artists cuz most of the songs are produced by Teddy whom you know very well . Every song Teddy produces is banger , just react to Somi , Ikon and of course The BIGBANG . Teddy had produced most of their songs .
hiiiiii, I recommend you to watch Now United's Wave Your Flag, Now United is international pop group that has 18 members from 18 different countries, this song was played in Miss Universe 2021 and Tokyo Olympics 2020 and it has Indian (SHIVANI PALLIWAL) and Korean member(HEYOON JEONG),
Knox, you should check out Yoon Mi Rae - Black Happiness. You’ll appreciate and enjoy it. It’s an older Korean R&B/Hip-Hop song and the rap is on point. 👍🏽
Translated for their Japanese audience … the videos are slightly different, like How You Like That, they re-shot a couple of scenes to sync the lyrics with the lips. Must hear Japanese versions: Kill This Love (Lisa’s verse is 🔥) Whistle (Jennie and Lisa English rap) Boombayah (Jennie and Lisa English rap) Kick It See You Later Really Forever Young Playing With Fire To name a few … enjoy! BLΛƆKPIИK 🖤💗
Yes, they are singing in Japanese and English in these versions. By the way MV for this versions in not full here, so maybe you should react to the song only or color coded lyrics since they are finished
The Japanese Market is big enough to merit the release. Not only that, it is a market that still enjoys physical copies. They literally buy CDs to this day.
These Japanese versions are made for Japanese Tours and performances and even the JP version mvs are similar but with a few new scenes. Most of the verse are translated to JP but the raps are chourus usually remain the same or change to english. But honestly i personally find JP versions a little beter sometimes for certain songs. The change in language usually brings up a change in vocal tone and flavour and the raps is english hit much harder i really like the concept of JP versions and English Versions etc because each version brings out something new
was watching your bts cypher videos and id like to recommend the cypher medley live but also outro tear which features the rap line. also if you want a crazy mix they made a crazy mix of bp- ddu du and bts fake love i think you would enjoy
You watched an unofficial video that was cut halfway through. All the official Japanese M/Vs can be found on BLACKPINK's channel, they don't have captions tho. They do have extra scenes here and there, but it would be hard to notice them as a regular listener, only hardcore fans who have watched the videos dozens of times will notice the changes...
Knox, I would like to make a suggestion. Why not try to take a break from what you usually reacting to. Try something that you don't normally do, like reacting to dance performances. You haven't reacted yet to Lisa's Money exclusive performance. That is recent. I would like you to react to Lilifilms 1, 2, 3, 4 and blackpink dance practices. Try something that out of your comfort zone. You might like it and we might love your reaction, who knows.
Hey Knox, can you react to the "Christmas Truce" by Sabaton? It is a song that is based on real life events(ie Christmas Truce of 1914). The lead singer has an amazing voice, the visuals/cinematography of the music video is like top tier movie quality. At the same time, keep listening till the end. No spoilers for why. Merry/Happy Christmas! Keep up the good work!

Japan and Korea don’t really like each other on a political level albeit they are Allies. So having them sing in Japanese boosts them to super star level in Japan as well as Korea.

They do all the Japanese versions with English raps. And some of the videos have slightly different camera work. But Whistle, Boombaya, Stay, everything is different. One of the best English Lisa raps is in the Japanese version of Kill This Love.
You should check out the compilation of lisa and Jennie’s rap in english :)
OH HELL YEAA
There's nothing new, they will just be bored on lisa's rap, so slow and childish
@@idolmongunderrated1855 my comment is from a year ago, when I was still amazed by blackpink in general 😂 and you right! It’s always the same, that’s why I don’t stan them anymore
@@aideespinoza376 who cares? Idc about the 3 members i only stan jennie coz i have a taste
Knox my man, you gotta do a full concert reaction, either their Tokyo Dome or The Show, that’d be so dope, man.
Also, if you want to hear more from Jisoo, you should check out her ‘Habits’ cover she did for The Show, she actually wrote the korean lyrics!
Hope you’re doing better, Knox, stay safe. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I love this music video so much along with so many of there other music videos!!! It’s so full of symbolisms and hidden meanings!!!❤️❤️❤️
Here are some examples:🤍🌹🌷🌺
1:
A burst of pink smoke gives Lisa wings, which represent flight and freedom. This strongly connects her and the pink cockatoo that appears later on.
2:
Jennie is dressed as a colourful queen, high above the other chess pieces, which suggests that the black and white rules of chess don’t apply to her. This suggests that Jennie has decided to live her life by her own rules and will play the game her own way.
Also As queen, Jennie is in a position to defend the black king while putting the white king in check. She easily takes out the white king, winning the game.
3:
The fennec fox represents a person’s core values, and indicates a solitary or independent individual. Someone with a fennec fox personality, like Jennie, is both a pioneer and a leader. These people can thrive in society while also living their life in their own unique way. In some dream symbolism, a fennec fox serves as a warning to watch out for false friends.
4:
BLACKPINK has included bird symbolism throughout this music video. First, Lisa appears with smoke wings, then she appears with a cockatoo, followed by Rosé swinging on a chandelier like a bird in a cage. In general, birds can represent freedom, but cockatoos have their own unique meaning. Cockatoos are associated with change and the celebration of self-love. Their flashy crest encourages other the show their true colours. In this case, that colour is pink! Rose-coloured cockatoos symbolize spontaneity and fearlessness.
5:
Historically, the katana was the best-known weapon of the samurai, a powerful class of warriors from ancient and feudal Japan. Lisa may be channeling her inner samurai here, or be making a reference to the badass, katana-wielding heroine of the film Kill Bill. Either way, this sword represents strength and the determination to face one’s battles head-on.
6:
In this scene, Lisa is surrounded by an eclectic collection of objects, including a shelf full of books. One of these books is Escape from Camp 14: One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West. This book tells the true life story of a man who escapes from a North Korean prison camp. This adds to the video’s themes of perseverance and freedom.
7:
Behind Lisa is a blackboard loaded with BLACKPINK hints, messages, and references to previous songs, such as “As If It’s Your Last”.
8:
Lisa wields BLACKPINK’s unique lightstick like a hammer. Like the katana, this lightstick adds to the video’s fight imagery.
9:
Two Rosés stare in this scene. The Rosé in black looks up at the Rosé in white, who is on display like a beautiful statue. The white Rosé has, quite literally, been put on a pedestal and represents the version of herself that the public sees. This Rosé is covered in crystals and has been crowned like a queen. She looks too perfect to be real.The Rosé in black represents Rosé’s true self. She moves through the scene like a shadow, dressed in a much simpler outfit. This Rosé is not crowned because, underneath all the glamor, she is just an ordinary human being.
10:
Lisa plays the offense with her sword and hammer lightstick, while Jisoo uses her umbrella as a shield. Jisoo’s umbrella protects her from the sparks that try to burn her. She stands glamorous and strong in black mourning clothes. This suggests that she has, and will continue to, survive every trial the world throws at her. At the end of it all, she will walk out of the wreckage, unscathed.
11:
Jennie’s glam tank is yet another weapon that supports this video’s battle imagery. Like Rosé, she is divided into a black self and a white self. Her white self gives off frivolous, diva vibes, while the black self demands to be taken seriously. White Jennie rejects her own stereotype by throwing down her expensive goods and allowing Black Jennie’s tank to crush them.
12:
In this scene, we see two Jisoos. One is an unchanging, infallible image. The other is a living, breathing, real person. Fans take admiring photos of her image, but as soon as she makes a mistake, the “fans” turn their phone on her like guns. This symbolizing how photos and social media can be used to build someone up as easily as they can tear someone down. It also shows how one little mistake can damage an idol’s image and turn admirers against them.
13:
Rosé swings on this chandelier like a bird in a cage. As she swings, she causes the power to flicker, suggesting that the situation may be becoming precarious. She may keep swinging until the power completely goes out, the chandelier falls, and she breaks free of her cage.
14:
Since wisteria vines bloom in spring and early summer, these flowers symbolize new life. Pink wisteria can also symbolize blossoming feelings of love. The wisteria in BLACKPINK’s video, however, are growing outside of their natural environment in near darkness. In spite of this, the flowers are thriving while changing the world around them into a more beautiful place.
15:
Black traditionally represents evil while white represents good, but BLACKPINK seems to have altered their meanings. In this video, white may represent a beautiful and beloved, but also false, self, while black represents the members’ true selves.
KnoxHill The man great to see you again🎅 Merry Christmas
Yayyy😍 BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA!!!
Thank you for the reaction💕
hiiiiii, I recommend you to watch Now United's Wave Your Flag, Now United is international pop group that has 18 members from 18 different countries, this song was played in Miss Universe 2021 and Tokyo Olympics 2020 and it has Indian (SHIVANI PALLIWAL) and Korean member(HEYOON JEONG),
Happy to see you everytime you upload some sort of reaction videos about blackpink. I just hope that you will make a reaction video (in the future) on 'BAZINGA' by SB19 a Philippine Boy Group consisting of Josh, Pablo, Justin, Ken, and Stell.
SB19 is the first Filipino boy group to be nominated on Billboard Music Awards as one of the Top Social Artists alongside with Blackpink, Ariana Grande, Seventeen, BTS, and SB19.
Blackpink in your área👑🌟
Only Blink♡
Only Stay ♡
To answer your question the vocal verses are in Japanese and the rap bars are in English!
There are several of their songs that have a Japanese version. Usually either Jennie or Lisa or both change their raps for those versions. Boombayah, Whistle, Playing With Fire, Stay, As if it's Your Last, Forever Young, Really, See U Later, Kill This Love, Lovesick Girls, How You Like That, Pretty Savage and You Never Know. The Japanese version of Whistle also has an acoustic version.
U shud react to Jennie solo remix there's a new rap part
The only “complete” Japanese music videos they have at the moment, are “How You Like That” and “Lovesick Girls”.
Most of their songs have a Japanese version! While this is fun, if you wanted to branch out in the future I recommend Stray Kids Domino and My Turn by Cravity, and more girl groups like Everglow (My personal second fave after BlackPink), Red Velvet, and Twice :)
wow that intro is soo goood
Thank you! Song is called ‘Long Way Home’ from my new album - you can stream it here song.link/blacklistalbum
@@KnoxHill yeah the hook is really catchy thanks!
@@KnoxHill now that you done most of the audio tracks for most of blackpink songs have you considered doing the dance practice videos to get the visual perspective on the song
hope you can dive more into blackpink? there's lots of things about them that you haven't reach yet..
Yeah Changing the language in kpop songs is a very common thing. (G)i-dle is a kpop gg you reacted before and some of their songs have up to four different language versions e.g. Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese. Usually, each language represents one dedicated market. Also, it is easier to do such things if they have foreign members in the group
actually Lisa and Jennie always help compose the lyrics of the song or change it but YG entertainment doesn't want to give them credit and I found out this info in an American interview
Lisa said she doesn't write lyrics.
I think Jennie and Jisoo have, maybe Rose
@@msnjs1939 are you kidding he wrote an SG song in collaboration with DJ snake what kind of info is there?
@@msnjs1939 Didn't you watch their interview
@@msnjs1939 th-cam.com/video/BsVlYoaAnfE/w-d-xo.html Look at this link and finish watching rose saying that he saw Lisa change the instrument and song lyrics and rose said that Lisa and Jennie are great songwriters
@@user-uf2km9vr3d I have seen that interview. They also said that the producer writes for them. They said they sit back and watch him go.
I think changing a word or two is not writing lyrics.
Japan is the second biggest music market in the world.
Thats why Kpop groups do japanese versions/albums for the japanese market.
and yes, the "non english" parts are sung in japanese.
You're good with multicultural appreciation in music, id say check out Lexi Liu, she's also part of KDA as the new comer. A reaction to her 'Manta' would be cool!
Blackpink forever 💖💓💕🖤🖤🖤🖤

glad to see you‘re in such a good mood :) But one can see you‘re sick. Get well soon :)
Please react to Blackpink love to hate me and you never know live The Show!
Jennie and Lisa ENGLISH rap Compilation!
REACT TO BIGBANG FANTASTIC BABY PLEASE
Yes please react to FANTASTIC BABY 🥺
I have a suggestion, there’s a solo R&B artist in Korea named Zion.T
He was inspired by T-Pain back in the day in maybe the late 2000s. He gradually became more R&B as he experimented with his very unique voice and decided he would keep it that way. I think you would really like him.
A specific song I recommend is *No Make Up* since it’s a good starter
Or his appearance in *Dingo Killing Verse* where he sings multiple songs
When it’s different lyrics or language,they change the scene little bit….it’s hard to notice…but they added new scene
Knox, Thanks for this reaction to BLACKPINK, you should check out more of their JP version songs. I really really want you to react to more of TREASURE. I am sure you will love their music. These are the songs you can check out -
1. My Treasure
2. Be With Me (나랑 있자)
3. Slowmotion
4. Boy
5. Come To Me (들어와)
6. I Love You (사랑해)
7. B.L.T (Bling Like This)
8. Mmm (음)
9. Orange (주황색)
10. Going Crazy (미져가네)

The rationale for rapping in English in Japanese version of original Korean songs. Well, singing in Japanese for a Japanese audience in Japan (a huge market for the K-pop industry) is a given. For rapping, the best thing would be also in Japanese. The problem is that the best Japanese-speaker in BlackPink is lead vocalist Jisoo, not the rappers of the group, Jennie and Lisa. These 2 girls are only competent enough in Japanese to sing, and to say a few simple sentences and phrases to interact with the Japanese audience. But they are excellent English speakers, esp. Jennie who spent 5 years in a boarding school in New Zealand from age 10 to 14 years old. As a matter of fact, when she was a trainee, she was the only one who could speak English and did so excellently. For this reason, she was trained primarily to become a rapper. She is the main rapper of the group. The reason for Lisa's excellent American-accented English is a mystery. Being a child from very rich parents, Lisa was probably sent to top-notched primary schools in Thailand, where English are likely well taught. And the fact that she grew up with a Swiss step-father, the only father she ever knows, is a bonus. But where she got her perfect American accent is a bit of a mystery. Most Korean commentators in S. Korean news media and TH-cam video reactors have expressed amazement that her Korean accent is 99 to 100% good, after only 4 years of learning it from nothing, from the age of 14. So, it must be that Lisa has a gift for acquiring languages. Back to English, it is reasonable to expect the first foreign language a Japanese would learn is English, just like any non-English speakers around the world, not Korean. Therefore rapping in English in the Japanese version of their songs makes perfect sense for the 2 BP rappers.
How You Like That (JP. ver) is exist!
can you react to their "really" jp ver in tokyo dome? that concert is too good you should check that out :)
Knox, the singing is definitely ALL Japanese. They always produce Japanese versions of their songs (and there is a full Japanese version of their The Album) for the Japanese market/fans.
Man i love intros on this channel...hands down best on the platform
Yes they are singing in Japanese lol
Before YGE and BigHit started aiming for the western market, they always focused on the Asian market. Some companies and groups have Chinese versions especially if the members are Chinese, yge sticks to Japanese.
Japan has the second biggest music industry after U.S.A. That is why many kpop artists debut in Japan.
Try listening to their Japanese version of Forever Young. Jennie raps in Japanese.
Knox how long do I need to keep begging for a Jeon Soyeon Windy EP reaction ? I am sure you are gonna love it :)
Alot of people in Japan speak English so they did the rap parts in English only and the rest of of song Japanese. The regular version is all in Korean
There's a huge market in Japan for Kpop
“A lot of people in Japan speak English” lol
I dream of it from some point. I hope the day will come when Rosé features in your music.
Rosé covered wildfire you reacted that one she is so perfect
Please reaction to BLACKPINK DUDUDU THE SHOW,this is different ,so fire .
Please reaction i always love your reaction to BLACKPINK.
I really like you reactions and knowledge about music . And u should also try sea of hope rosé cover those really good
This was so interesting. My suggestion for next time is you watching the Korean (OG) version and right after the Japanese version of the MV of LOVESICK GIRLS
Please do LISA ENGLISH RAPS!!!!
I see you're done with all Blackpink songs . I'll recommend you to react to other YG artists cuz most of the songs are produced by Teddy whom you know very well . Every song Teddy produces is banger , just react to Somi , Ikon and of course The BIGBANG . Teddy had produced most of their songs .
Yeah I love to see more from BIGBANG
So Hot by BLACKPINK
Checkout Solo (The Show version). It has insane rap part. 💯✌️
hiiiiii, I recommend you to watch Now United's Wave Your Flag, Now United is international pop group that has 18 members from 18 different countries, this song was played in Miss Universe 2021 and Tokyo Olympics 2020 and it has Indian (SHIVANI PALLIWAL) and Korean member(HEYOON JEONG),
Their first song that reached 1B views
Knox react to BTS "JUMP" or "21st century girl" these are bangersss
Knox, you should check out Yoon Mi Rae - Black Happiness. You’ll appreciate and enjoy it. It’s an older Korean R&B/Hip-Hop song and the rap is on point. 👍🏽
Blackpink queens ❤
Translated for their Japanese audience … the videos are slightly different, like How You Like That, they re-shot a couple of scenes to sync the lyrics with the lips. Must hear Japanese versions:
Kill This Love (Lisa’s verse is 🔥)
Whistle (Jennie and Lisa English rap)
Boombayah (Jennie and Lisa English rap)
Kick It
See You Later
Really
Forever Young
Playing With Fire
To name a few … enjoy! BLΛƆKPIИK 🖤💗
Yes, they are singing in Japanese and English in these versions. By the way MV for this versions in not full here, so maybe you should react to the song only or color coded lyrics since they are finished
The Japanese Market is big enough to merit the release. Not only that, it is a market that still enjoys physical copies. They literally buy CDs to this day.
These Japanese versions are made for Japanese Tours and performances and even the JP version mvs are similar but with a few new scenes. Most of the verse are translated to JP but the raps are chourus usually remain the same or change to english. But honestly i personally find JP versions a little beter sometimes for certain songs. The change in language usually brings up a change in vocal tone and flavour and the raps is english hit much harder i really like the concept of JP versions and English Versions etc because each version brings out something new
was watching your bts cypher videos and id like to recommend the cypher medley live but also outro tear which features the rap line. also if you want a crazy mix they made a crazy mix of bp- ddu du and bts fake love i think you would enjoy
Knox you killed it with Blacklist man, pure 🔥🔥
I NEED to see your reaction to H-Mack’s Soulilloquies!! Please tell me it’s coming?!?
You watched an unofficial video that was cut halfway through.
All the official Japanese M/Vs can be found on BLACKPINK's channel, they don't have captions tho.
They do have extra scenes here and there, but it would be hard to notice them as a regular listener, only hardcore fans who have watched the videos dozens of times will notice the changes...
There’s more japan version of their songs to react. And the rap dude, the rap. You gotta react especially Kill This Love
The live version is even more sick
Knox, have you seen their Netflix special yet? Must watch.
Awesome as always just the way you break it all down that most people would even of thought of. I'm intrigued to what you think of babymetal bxmxc.
You need to checkout their Tokyo Dome Tour
💗💗💗
Knox, I would like to make a suggestion. Why not try to take a break from what you usually reacting to. Try something that you don't normally do, like reacting to dance performances. You haven't reacted yet to Lisa's Money exclusive performance. That is recent. I would like you to react to Lilifilms 1, 2, 3, 4 and blackpink dance practices. Try something that out of your comfort zone. You might like it and we might love your reaction, who knows.
Hey Knox, can you react to the "Christmas Truce" by Sabaton? It is a song that is based on real life events(ie Christmas Truce of 1914). The lead singer has an amazing voice, the visuals/cinematography of the music video is like top tier movie quality. At the same time, keep listening till the end. No spoilers for why.
Merry/Happy Christmas! Keep up the good work!
hiiiiii, I recommend you to watch Now United's Wave Your Flag, Now United is international pop group that has 18 members from 18 different countries, this song was played in Miss Universe 2021 and Tokyo Olympics 2020 and it has Indian (SHIVANI PALLIWAL) and Korean member(HEYOON JEONG),
The whole singing parts on japanese and the raps on English
Yes this is the japenese version where the rap is in English
I got such a dejavan, I was about to say "R u reacting to this again?" LOL XD, but Nah my Christmas was boring, btw Holidays! Yes just holidays coz 'happy" is a challenge
:(
