react to apple and mago too !! 🤣🤣❤
and labyrinth 🤣
Please react to Gfriend Mago too
Labyrinth
Mago
Please
The motive of the song is to makes you feel confused, heart racing, emotional yet inspiring. That's what they feel standing at the crossroads.
WOW, YOUR MIND
THIS
right
Up
❣
they truly are GodFriend
nah gaefriends more accurate😂
@@fromiizone Eyyy! LOL
hearing someone else geek over the half second silence before the yuju isolated vocal part makes me so happy it makes me want to listen to the song again and again
I just like how Kevin knows its a GFRIEND sound... like I'm so happy GFRIEND have their own sound 😍
They seem to have gone away from their sound in their recent title tracks "Apple" and "MAGO", though.
@@davidfrischknecht8261 there's still the GFRIEND sound there.. it's just that they added or tried a new one... either way I love it ☺
@@davidfrischknecht8261 Tbh, Mago is Gfriend sounding than what you would think. Apple is very distinct for sure but their summer comeback always tends to be experimental anyway, so there's that.
@@davidfrischknecht8261 Apple and Mago still have a GFriend sound to me but Apple is the most distinct one, I don't know tho, I still can feel it tbh.
@@SisselTheCat Yeah GFriend summer song is always like that
I really appreciate how they explained GFriend theories before they start reacting to the MV💜💜
Gfriend is one of the unique groups that you can't easily really stan musically but once you digest their song and get into them you will be obsessed and you will regret not to stan them earlier :))
i agree T^T basically i judged them before knowing them and i thought i hated them, then i gave them a try and got to know them and dang, i regret my ignorance.
So true
very true
facts
And that'a on fact!
god i love gfriend
ugh same✨
Same
Same!!! They always exceed my expectations every single time since debut.
Same!
Same
hearing everyone analyze like this now, I just have so much more appreciation. I'm finishing my first semester as a music major and my aural skills training is probably where I'm most lacking right now. watching the reactors now just really leaves me with some people to aspire towards and appreciate
You got this!!!
Noh Joo Hwan is one of Gfriend's best music Producer... He produces some of my favourites like Crossroads, TFTMN, Sunrise, Room of Mirrors, Three of Cups, and more! Love this guy, wish to hear some more of his in the next CBs
same but ngl i miss their previous collaborators (iggy, youngbae and mio)
loveeeee his stuffs so much
I remember Noh Joo Hwan won a best instrumental for TFTMN ♥️
Yes exactly but now the Main title track is Produced by Frants(bighit producer) not Noh Juhwan no more.
@@solehah.a7507 he still has some works in the album tho!! and he was in the list of apple producers. i guess thats great too that gfriend works with different producers
"You say anime, you owe me $5." LOL.
It's also interesting to hear about the impression of the composition from these musicians, after reading all the netizens' comment. The point about harmony to keep the listener engaged is a very insightful point. It's also so fascinating to hear about how Gfriend's music makes changes that musicians can pick up but not necessarily us commoners.
"It's not a key change, but when they started that line it sounded like they were in some other world" EXACTLY
Henry really don't want to lose the bet and Charlotte was just happy to be his 'anime' word buzzer 😂
Anyway, Crossroads is my top song of the year based in Spotify. Didn't regret it either, amazing release by them!
same! apple and mago are cool but i feel like i have a deeper emotional connection with this song
Yes!!! Honestly, Gfriend could release 10 songs that sound just like crossroads and I would drown myself in them
Labyrinth is my favourite album to date
Omg same!! Its weird cuz i only listen to it like 2 months, but it managed to be on the top 1. I must've put it on repeat a LOT, cuz its good
Same. I didn't expect it tbh. But I realize, I never skip it when it gets played from my shuffled playlist. It's soooo good.
18:42 OMG... I wish he can complete this melody, it sounds so good. He might predict Gfriend next song!
Next title track : composed by Kevin
i saw his frustration 😂
"They played too much among us, and it tore their friend group apart." As a buddy(GFriend fan), this made me crack😂😂😂😂
labyrinth is really THAT album, from track 1 called “the album” itself, followed by “crossroads” which is the majestic title track, then “here we are” that produces an anthem like feeling, then the peak of the album which is the track “eclipse,” eventually the album slowed down leading us to “dreamcatcher” and “from me” 2 ballads which showcase gfriends vocals through harmony, a great way to end the album.
But they wont react to that...😭😭
that's why I am into Gfriend, because of their different vibes in their songs that other groups don't have, this is what I am waiting for bcs Crossroads is a bop song of them, there's a lot of ppl don't know how this song is so good or there's some ppl are like this kind of music (CLASSICS) or more in instruments sounds ✨
This was my favorite release this year, I get goosebumps every time
I got so happy seeing this reaction! Crossroads is so beautiful and is often overlooked,, I'm glad to be able to see this reaction!
YALL SHOULD REACT TO MEMORIA BY GFRIEND THAT SH!T SLAPS
YES ITS ONE OF MY FAVES
@@hihigh1196 YESSSS
YESSSS
TOTALLY!!!!
Most likely theyd only do that on patreon cuz kings records aint gonna let them play that song
the fact that they can play the melody on the piano right after they listen to it for the first time just amazes me as a person who knows nothing about playing music :o
Please mago please 😂
They won't. It's on their not to react list. You can check the link on the description. 😊
@@beb071519 how about apple?
they won't react react to mago, since that was not musically interesting, enough. for apple, that was inclosed in 'not so sure' playlist.
@@minkrobbieloubastian7054 ahh so that was it lol makes sense tbh, its honestly the song I enjoy the most from GFriend but I agree with that
@@beb071519 i thought crossroad was in their “not to react”. Even sunrise, i saw it in the list but they have maybe “personal reaction”. Still hoping for apple/mago reaction...
the classic gfriend experience: ANIME
8:05 HAHAHHA same
the editing at 13:43 had me in tears too LOL
the bit about the common jpop/anime chord progressions is something i've noticed too, i'm a big fan of the sound
the silence before yuju's last chorus.... will forever be mad that its not in the actual song 😭😭😭 like its just TOO GOOD
Crossroads was my introduction to GFriend they all seemed so mature and "Unni-like" and then I found out they were all in their twenties and felt old (I'm 34) they were one of the first handful of groups (the others being Red Velvet and (G)-IDLE as well as Stray Kidz) that I got into when I first honestly decided to give K-Pop a try. So Crossroads will always be a GFriend era I have fond memories of.
Lack of resolution make it somewhat unsatisfying, but at the same time it also telling that "Crossroad" they are having in the tune. It is great song and my most listened song of the year.
I imagine what would be a next reaction to Apple since Crossroads it's well, really GFRIEND like lol because when was released I was like... amm.. well, let's get on the broom 👁️👄👁️
I think they already reacted to that
@@daybed6263 yup I've watched, also miss Isaac, hope his doing well!
I was saying about all the (new) classical musicians haha
They’re going to react to tarot cards but the date is undecided so far
@@catrina1589 $5 that they will say that sounds like anime so lmao
So:
Hook (intro) is in Eb minor, ending with a Bb chord (V of Ebm and bVII of Cm) to verse in C minor
Verse is in C minor, also ending with Bb chord (bVII of Cm and bIII of Gm) to hook starting with Eb, which may sound like a perfect cadence but it's actually bVI of G minor
Hook is in G minor, ending with D chord (V of Gm), and then use common tone Bb between Gm and Bbm to jump to Gbm chord (bVI of Bbm). Also chromatic movement (D to Db, A to Bb, F# stays the same enharmonically but becomes Gb instead)?
And in the end of chorus there's a picardy third (bVI - bVII - I) to Bb major, which feels like a resolution but resolves again to hook in Eb minor
Like how the hell did GFriend and their composing/producing team come up with a rollercoaster ride like this?
Some Indonesian musicians analyze the song on TH-cam also. They state that the modulation could represent the travel back in time.
That's why almost all musicians are a big fan of gfriend and their producer
"It's super complicated "
Even this song is difficult for a Musician 😌😌
Thank you for making a reaction about GFRIEND Love you guys 💜💜
I've always had trouble hearing Gfriend songs as anime songs, I really just think gfriend before anime. Also, I think almost any song can be in an anime, but the stereotypical genre for it in my mind is j-rock. The korean throws me a lot.
I’ve always loved how dramatic crossroads felt and I like how they also picked up that it feels like that and explained why
Ahh, its so educating when musician listen to gfriend songs, we can learn something from them, thank you
thank you for reacting crossroads. Now Im so excited for their reaction on Tarot cards.
they arent called AnimeFriend for no reason ;)
and to think they've yet to actually do a anime ost
@@seventeenyeojachingu4205 ikrr. King records really need to promote them better, maybe sign them up for an anime
I literally know nothing about music, but i love hearing people that do talk about gfriend heheh
crossroads is the most aesthetic korean music video in 2020 i guess
The Gfriend memes you've inserted in here... *cries in buddies TT*
The way she knows all the theory or story of GFRIEND!
I love the girl wearing red and black she appreciates it
React to Suju burn the floor MV pleaseeee... really love the song and the concept!
One of my favorite reaction channel, can you try to listen, or maybe even making reaction to Super Junior Burn the floor
Crossroads is like my long lost soul it was perfectly made for me.. when I first listening to it I was left with awe, like eh? it's finished I wanna hear more.. ahhh what a masterpiece!
'They seemed like they had their own musical theory'
This is something I always feel when listening to Crossroads (also Time for the Moon Night!)
That's GFRIEND, will make your life interesting, feels you that you are amazing, makes you happy and better! Stan GFRIEND for the better life!
Okay, I'm not sure why the reactors didn't really pick up on it, but I think the song sounds kinda like anime. :)
I kNoW RiGhT!
OMG😂😂😂
now you owe Umu 5 dollars
You owe Umu $10. Pay up. $5 is not enough of a punishment! lol
It sounds so much like the op for Madoka Magica: Rebellion !
Omg how they really appreciate this song. When i watch other reactors they onlu care about mv, girl crush and choreography. Thank you
Me as an anime & kpop lover. I really love the music of Gfriend.
Please react to super junior new MV "Burn the floor"🙏🏻
Pls react to burn the floor by super junior
This song is SO underrated this is the only kpop song that has given me chills from start to end.
Yesss been waiting for this one :)
Also GFriend usually uses real strings for their tracks
YES GFRIEND! Thank you for reacting to Crossroads! A song that really grew on me and is my most streamed song this year ;)
No way... I watched your Gfriend summer rain reaction yesterday and today I got this? Amazing!!!
THIS CHANNEL IS MY WHOLE LIFE
intrumental-wise, I love this kind of song from gfriend.
yall this song was stuck in my head for LONG....
Good. Embrace it.
can we request kevin to play songs for us? like the original song? what if the key never changed? things like that cause hearing him playing the same song without changing the felt so satisfying
Would you react to super junior-burn the floor. I really hope to hear how you guys breakdown the song..
Sam talking about the anime formula: 😍
Raffi listening to Sam talk about the anime formula: 😍
Me watching Raffi listen to Sam talk about the anime formula: 😍
Hope you guys will check out the new Super Junior performance video to Burn The Floor, it has really a strong classical influence and is so dramatic hahahaha
Honestly can’t wait for their comeback in January to see what else they have in store, if that is only a B-Side track!
As for 'Japanese cartoon' 😂
$5 is a lot of money 🤷🏽♀️
please react to their b-side "Eye of the Storm" and "Tarot Cards" please😭💕
SHUFFLE해봐!
Theyre gonna need a lot of 5 dollars cuz those 2 songs have the most anime vibes
They will react to Tarot Cards
Nooooo... Room of mirrors first 😭
I love how they got confused about the chorus
Super Junior just dropped their new performance video called Burn The Floor. Please do reaction to it, the video's totally grande that will blow your mind bcs it has classical vibes that might suits your music 🥰
Please react to Super Junior new song Burn The Floor
I missed this channel so much 🥺 I’m so glad you reacted to my favorite song from gfriend💗
“Echoed into the ether” lmaooooo
Uuh, I love how Kevin goes into the psychological resolution in the music. That's a great way of approaching the song.
It would be great if you could react to Super Junior's Burn the floor!! It's their new release for their 10th album. Such a good song!
I have to review for an exam later, well they uploaded so I might study later...or binge their old videos-
And now it’s being the memories
oh god i wish they could react more gfriend songs please musicians PLEASE REACT TO MORE GFRIEND!!!!
I'm satisfied with this Crossroads appreciation. It's my favorite 2020 song, Spotify says it.
He even got me saying anime towards the end 😂
Anyway, I love the way they explained the new approach GFriend took with Crossroads. I love listening to their songs and just knowing more of what could be taking place, makes me love them even more.
I think you should react to Super Junior's video performance BURN THE FLOOR.
You may find it interesting !
Oops I forgot 👀. Venmoing you now Umu 🥷🏻
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
Nah helping me move the equipment to-and-from film sessions has more than enough paid your debt!
lol you made this video so funny!
Next time please react to the newly released performance video by Super Junior. The song is titled Burn the Floor. It has very interesting elements of classic music and it’s a gorgeous performance. You’ll love it!
i'm living for this video editing!
i mean how could this video serve us with all those features, we got the music analysis, the humour and also the silence moment for that poor 5$ 😂
woahhhh I wasn't expecting this but thank you sooo much!
Noh Juhwan is my favorite Gfriend producer, I hope he is still working with them
He still working with them, his latest work is on Walpurgis Night b-side which is Three Of Cups, Secret Diary and Night Drive
I'm roughly 2 years late to this reaction, but to that reactor that said "Can we say this sounds like an anime opening?"
I would like for them to listen to Puella Magi Madoka Magica's opening in full. It just has a lot of similar elements. It's soooooo 🥰
The 4 key progression is called royal road, it's everywhere on a lots of songs, an example is Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley
Thank you for reacting to GFRIEND again pleas react to their japanese songs please!
I really hope more reactions of gfriend
Can you react "super junior-burn the floor" Please?
this is amazing and horrifying at the same time. for pro player / musician, gfriend is something they can geek over the music and all. but for the noob, the beginner or maybe the intermediate player..... this is one true nightmare because it makes us think.... wow, im playing that song wrong even more lol
Can you please react to "super junior - burn the floor"
I have to say the edits are really a nice touch.
The last clip of Kevin explaining chords really amazing bits.
I kinda agree..crossroads is something I wouldn't listen all the time...but the instrumentals on this is a masterpiece.
And I kinda wish Soumu would like compile the 3 *insert Labyrinth logo* Albums. They are all varied and worthy tracks. A very solid trilogy.
How about Eye of the storm, love Spell, room of mirrors,?
Thank you so much for reacting. Made me appreciate the music even more.
I'm waiting for this for a long time
Gfriend song are like anime n its complicated for someone who don’t understand music to like them with one listen except people who appreciate all kind of genre n vocal will understand why they chose tht style. Gfriend said they want people directly noticed that’s Gfriend once their song being play n look what? They did it! They’ve found their own sound which is not all group has rn. I’m proud of them
You guys should react to their Japanese singles! Fallin light (My Fave) and Memoria
May you please make a reaction to Super Junior - Burn The Floor and Raining Spell For Love Remake Live Clip? Those two are new songs for their upcoming tenth album ❤
