For more info League actually has 3 music groups. The first was Pentakill, it's the term for killing every member of the enemy team by yourself in a short timeframe, which is a metal band that has actually released 3 full albums now. K/da was second, it stands for kills deaths and assists which is your personal score in a match, which you know of. Third is True Damage, the term for the highest form of damage you can do ingame, which is a hip hop group. These aren't season cinematics, those will blow your mind, these are basically advertisements for skin lines. Almost every skin line is an alternate universe with its own story line and lore. Sometimes skinline lore is more popular that cannon lore. So basically they put out a hype song like these and make you want to buy the skins to play them ingame. I've watched your reactions for awhile and I think you'll dig True Damage but you're gonna go nuts for Pentakill, Mortal Reminder is the video to check for them and the K/da video Villian. I also think you should check out the season cinematics, which are also music videos but not by the ingame groups.
After Pop/Stars the internet was going nuts for K/DA. It had like 14mil view in the first week. It was a huge success and I think originally was going to be a one-off. But then all the comments were like "I need more of this." "MOAR!" "Please sirs, can we have some more." So the next song they released, about 2 years later, was called "More". And on its coattails was a whole album by K/DA called All Out.
Yeah, after watching the episode of Bridging the Rift, PopStars only came about because Riot paused development on Arcane to redo the scripts. During this time Fortchie needed work in order to keep the animation team employed.
@@ckhayne2 dope, i did not know this. i knew they were done by the same studio (the movement looks so incredibly organic in both), but i was wondering how a small studio like fortiche pulled off doing both at the same time. makes sense that this was the course of events.
KDA were created for the 2018 world's opening ceremonies (the video you mentioned at the end) in honor of the Korean fan base and that years games were in Korea. They were supposed to be a 1 time thing but were so popular that they did it again in 2020 for the championship games in China, and released a mini album at the same time.
@@GOTGames gidle is finishing a tour of the us and they have been preforming a cover of Popstars. The only videos are from fans but you should take a look at one of those. Also here is a commercial soyjeon wrote and preformed for shake shack korea. th-cam.com/video/n9oti9orTuM/w-d-xo.html
One of the concept video of the solo single of K/DA, Villain (for Evelynn), is wo well done that sometimes, you just wonder is what's on your screen is real. Should also react to this one ! Also, the lyrics and atmosphere of the song reflect really really well the character of Evelynn, wich is a demon that charm her prey before killing them.
- Ahri the Queen of a Fox Spirit, Distance range attacker - Evelynn the Diva of a Demon, literally (The one with 2 whips and has two claws. Her original skin has horns when she's just moving and attacking), close range attacker - Akali the Rebel of an Assassin, (The wrapper with the motor bike), close range attacker - Kai'sa the Huntress of a Dancer (the girl with the 2 rocket/ missile launchers), distant range attacker - Seraphine the Dreamer of a Songstress (The girl with the longest hair among the 5), distant range attacker.
The opening ceremonies are great. It is pronounced K D A, since it stands for "Kills Deaths Assists" that are in the game. Good reaction, always happy to see people enjoying this great group.
This follows Soyeon and Miyeon from (G) I-DLE through their making of the Popstars MV. Yes, there is motion capture involved. Also the lead-in to the live performance th-cam.com/video/8b2DjJ5iVgI/w-d-xo.html
@@babette5918 correct - Fortiche does their stuff old school by acting out the things themselves (at least the Arcane Behind the scenes shows that for Arcane).
You must react to the other songs! Badest - Rap (Akali) Villain - Dark but juicy vibes (Evelynn) Drum go dum - Booty shaker hehe (Kai'Sa) I'll show you - NIce kpop song (Ahri) I'd recommend you to watch all of these in one video if you want. They all have such different vibes, it'd be fun to watch you change your mood with every song haha in one video. EDIT: Btw, just so that it doesnt catch you off guard. Out of these 4 songs I said, only two of them have an actual music video, these are Villain and I'll Show you. I tell you this because people went crazy mad at the other songs because there wasnt any animation. Badest is a lyrics music video and Drum go dum is a dance music video. With that in mind, enjoy the songs, they're super good!
Yes, we say K.D.A, not K.DA (wich btw stands for Kill, Death and Assist, a stat/score in game). Also, this virtual band was created by LoL, like True Damage or Pentakill, and one of the main reason of their creation are for advertising the new skins (don't know how to say it in another way)
it is K D A ,it stands for Kills Deaths Assist when playing games, it's a very fitting name :3 i recommend checking one of the live shows, i know one that i saw a while back that used a pretty nice and suprising special effect ;)
K/DA is one of the biggest league things (before Arcane of course) so I recommend listening to all of kda first, I also recommend the true damage song, the eSport songs, and character songs (my favourite is Varus'), but these league band songs are all based on skins, or skin sets, different skin sets have their own universe and lore. And definitely check out the Arcane songs they're badass in a whole other way and if you're wondering how they manage that kind of animation for music videos for just a game you should check out that whole series because they blow themselves out of the water, honestly running joke is riot (the company behind league of legends) does all media better than game, which is how they started. Their music, animation, storytelling is all so much better than the game. I don't think league is the only game to do it but I think it's the only game to do it this well/successfully, I think overwatch do videos as well but I don't think they're music videos like this? Not sure.
So to answer some of your questions League does events through out the year. Typically at the start of a new season they release a cinematic (which is around New Years), April/May is the first of two huge Esport events this one being called MSI, a summer event and typically the biggest event or events are saved for the fall and this one is called Worlds. During Worlds Riot Games typically release hype songs and other content to get everyone ready for the games. They typically have hype songs like K/DA Pop/Stars or True Damage - Giants, then there’s the yearly Worlds anthem which is like the main theme song of Worlds within a given year. League has a bunch of songs that range in to all sorts of genres like you already know KPop, but they also have rap, metal and so much more! Def should check more of League!!!
Awaken first! Awaken still has some of the most iconic visuals in League - period. (Also, Curse of the Sad Mummy for the love of god, make sure you have tissues!)
*K/DA* has a 5 song album, not just promo. Next *League Of Legends* suggestion: - "The Baddest" by *K/DA* [ *(G)I-DLE,* Bea Miller, Wolftyla] - "I'll Show You" by *K/DA* ( *Twice,* Bekuh Boom, Annika Wells) - "Giants" by *True Damage* ( *Soyeon of (G)I-DLE,* Becky G, Keke Palmer, Duckwrth)
Time to check out League of Legends Cinematics 2021 - The Call (it's for the new season), this is something you would as you so well put it yourself, "the animation is something you might confuse with real life" quality, K/DA songs are usually released as marketing for the new skins.
i love that you react to K/DA and hopefully also to "True Damage" the other K-Pop esq. League of Legends band, but also to their World Songs, like "Warrior", "Pheonix" or just their cinematics with AMAZING BEAUTIFUL graphics and music to them like the newest one "The Call", please don't limit your reaction of League of Legends to only the Bands they created but also to their cinematics and World stuff, that's where you really will see and FEEL that Riot understood their assigment on Worldbuilding and giving us the feels for a fckn Videogame
Honkai Impact is another game that does something like this. They usually have animation of an in game moment with a song that really adds to the atmosphere. Moon Halo is an amazing song that shows the growth of the main character. The animation it takes place in is Everlasting Flames
They're a skin line in the game. From wikipedia: "The name "K/DA" is an in-game term in League of Legends that refers to a player's kills, deaths, and assists.[4] The creation of K/DA was based in part on the desire of Riot Games, League's developers to "see their company more as a full-fledged music label in the future".[11] Toa Dunn, head of Riot's music division, claimed in an interview with Variety that "[K/DA] was the most involved music project we’ve ever done".[12] According to Tantula, "We believe there’s a huge overlap between League of Legends, esports overall and the music industry", and as a result, they invested "in building [their] internal music team with both an artist focused creative studio full of composers, songwriters and producers, as well as people who can perform all the services that you would see at a standard music label, such as distribution, A&R and promo."[13] Patrick Morales (creative lead behind the Pop/Stars music video), Janelle Jimenez (the lead designer behind the K/DA skins) and Toa Dunn (the head of the Riot Music Group) were the main creators of K/DA.[7] The dances were choreographed by Ellen Kim, Bailey Sok, Stevie Doré and Eileen Harman.[6] 4Minute also served as a source of inspiration behind K/DA.[5] For singing "Pop/Stars", Madison Beer was brought on early, and Jaira Burns followed.[12] As many at Riot were fans of (G)I-dle and liked "the attitude they brought to the song, especially the rap section", Miyeon and Soyeon were brought on as well.[12] "
3:31 I completely relate About how I sit here like HOW. A year on listening to this for me and I’m still mind blown and puzzled that I feel this way about these animated queens 😂. A Year on and I’m still jamming out to this song
In this video, the KDA group welcomes Seraphine, who is the fifth member who in the world of League of Legends was a singer and a big fan of the group ... there are other groups within the musical world of League of Legends ..... but before reacting to them please react to "Lucas inutilismo - 2020 em uma musica"
K. D. A. Their group's name is KayDeeAye. Kills/Deaths/Assists. Basically, one's score in a multi-player Vs. game. Ya gotta check out Pentalkill - Mortal Reminder. Pentakill was the first LoL band concept. Heavy metal band.
There's also 4 more songs from kda : villian, the baddest, i'll show you and drum go dum There are also many other songs from league of legends that you can check out (warriors is my personal fav) All are amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Final Fantasy XIV releases all their main game and expansions. They even have music videos and live concerts. One of the bands that performs for FF XIV is The Primals (named after creatures in the game) are my fav, and their song A Long Fall is excellent, you get two of the band members and someone dressed up as one of the NPC's in the game performing all the dance moves you can do in Final Fantasy XIV. You should definatly check it out.
You must check this out then: Pentakill III: Lost Chapter - An Interactive Album Experience. There you will see the animation that LOL is capable of handling, and the interactive task of the players every time one of these online events takes place. By the way, the music is very good. In parts, those who give life to the animations appear, real people with sensors on their bodies.
League of Legends makes a lot of money by selling players different skins for their "Champions". They create music videos, lore, cinematics, and more to get players interested enough to buy the latest skins of the season. It's worked remarkably well for them but in turn they put out really stellar quality content! Plus they also put out a song to hype up their Worlds every year and the opening ceremonies for the tournament have all that years songs performed live, usually with some really cool effects.
K/DA's song 'Pop Star' was written for one of the opening ceremonies of a League of Legends tournaments, and they took 4 of their characters (Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'sa), assigned them positions in a K-Pop band (Ahri is the queen [lead vocalist], Akali is the rebel, Evelynn is the diva, and Kai'sa is the dancer [choreographer]). They then looked for singers from the nations where League of Legends is most popular - Korea, America, and France. The inclusion of Seraphine (the new talent) was to recognize that LOL is also big in China. There's a whole backstory of how Ahri formed the band, but I don't know where it is or if you'd be interested.
You MUST WATCH the opening ceremony. If you think the original video blew you mind, you are not prepared for the live version. I'm off to rewatch it myself. Side note on the characters looking so good. (or badass, amazing or just plain hot.) One of the characters from the animated movie "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" made #87 on Maxim Magazine's "Hot 100" list in 2001. It was the first CGI movie using photo-realistic characters. And to date she is the only nonexistent person to make that list.
K/DA has so many awards to, they also got a spot on billboards with Black pink & BTS. Also K/DA is the first 4th gen kpop girl group that reached 500 million views on TH-cam.
Btw if you like K/DA you should check out the opening cermonie of League of legends Worlds 2018 were the singers performt it live ( there is also a second song in there called Rise) it was the opening for The Final of the Worldchampionship from League
So like Chad said, there are 3 "music groups" made up of champions from LoL to promote skins they added to the game. The music is fire, the skins look fantastic. True Damage, lore wise was created as a side project by Akali following the success of K/DA. K/DA is K-Pop, True Damage is hip hop, and Pentakill is metal. But all the same, I love the content Riot has put out on the side. They more recently made a music video for the new Star Guardian skins with Porter Robinson, you should definitely go check that one out. The song is called Everything goes on
"How did they capture those bad ass moves?!" Motion. Capture. They had the girls come in and literally dance it on a mo-cap stage. There's footage out there of them putting on the golfball covered tracksuits. After they had the base dances in they went back in and refined it by hand keyframe animating them based on live action footage of them doing the dances. The production quality of the KDA videos is on par with the top music videos ever made. In some ways far exceeds most videos. They put in a lot of hard work to "shoot" the digital video like it was being done in the real world. They created digital camera rigs to mimic the motions of hand held cameras etc. And as always, the musical production is just through the roof. It's dense. There's a lot of layered tracks going on, but the one that kills me is the drop of everything to the rising thirds when Evelyn is singing "All, I've ever known... is life up on a throne." Those rising thirds are just heart stopping.
"the close up of one of their faces at the end is amazing i get that you won't confuse it with a real person but still" heh, if he watches pantheon in the call xD i wonder what his reaction would be like same for K/DA villain haha
If you're still unsure how they do perfect animated movements, I'd recommend looking up motion capture videos to see the process behind the scenes. It's interesting.
Bro checkout the first music video and the tournament final opening (live) you will be blown away. They used Augmented reality to bring live to the animated ladies on the stage, where you can see them through wearing special glasses.
kda was a one off virtual kpop band set up by riot and animated by fortiche productions, and recently we found out that pop/stars essentially saved fortiche from shutting down and they went on to make many many more productions, one is a quite popular series called arcane. Because of pop/star's success riot was essentially forced by the comunity to make... well... More, hence the title of this song.
If you haven't seen it yet another great K/DA song is Villain and it features Evelynn (The girl with the claws) and her voice is sung by two different people. Search K/DA - VILLAIN ft. Madison Beer and Kim Petras (Official Concept Video - Starring Evelynn) for the official video
Blind Guardian did an in game song called Sacred for the game Sacred 2. It also came with a quest line that rewarded the band's instruments as weapons....
7:38 Yes, yes they are more, like Villain also from KDA, or Giant from another virtual band of league of legends, called true damage which is a pop band, then there pentakill the virtual rock band of league of legends. Then if you like those try the resto of their cinematic, most have music those there aren't necessarily dancing to the song and stuff. But short answer to ur question, yes they are a lot more XD
If you want to check their story - th-cam.com/video/de-xgNEsE3I/w-d-xo.html just a fun background story with their dance choreography (*ehem* Kinjaz) - th-cam.com/video/pL6SUBXsNOU/w-d-xo.html
There is a whole album on spotify for K/DA. There is "Drums go dum", " The Baddest", "Villain", "I'll Show You". All of them are champions in league of legends and K/DA are a set of skins for these 5 champions. Ahri, Akali, Kai'sa, Evelynn and Seraphine.
Bro, you've had the exact reaction I did to KDA! I have a background in Hip Hop and RnB and the only K-Pop I had knowledge of is Stay Kids! This video (yours) is 2 years old by now so I don't know if it's been explained yet but from what I know it's like this: Imaging each character as "actors", they have an in-game persona (the Legends from League i.e. Ahri the nine tail fox, Akali the rapper, Evelynn the succubus and Kai'Sa the dancer). Now imagine the same characters in real life (even though they're 3d generated) as the "actors" who came together and formed a group, that's what K/DA is. There's online comic strips of each member that lead up to the ALL OUT E.P. and subsequent in-game skins for each character, you should check them out to get a better understanding. I've also never played LoL but I'm a 3d digital artist so have a great passion for game character design, when I came across this my mind was blown!
League literally put an entire budget and KPOP music video just for the release of a hero in this. Blizzard is like 'here is a screenshot of a new hero next year' Riot is like 'HERES AN ENTIRE KPOP BAND AND A MUSIC VIDEO ON A 4 TRILLION DOLLAR BUDGET'
This is actually a song just for introduce a new hero! XD I live performance you can see the avatars, and the new singer representing she. There you go: th-cam.com/video/_hugv0CBh-E/w-d-xo.html
Riot has been doing this for almost 10 years. They do them for new seasons, for new"skin" lines, for world championships and for new character intros. There are a few hundred videos, some with hundreds of millions of views. They have multiple animation styles as well as music styles. I highly recommend checking honestly most of them out. The vast majority are brilliantly done and all the music is amazing. I have been subbed to your channel for quite a while, and I am excited to see you doing League stuff!!!
league has probably highest quality videos.and they are either for skinline ingame like K/DA or world championships like "Rise".there is is other games that makes similar stuff but might be not on same level of quality because riot just trows millions of dollars into this..but my favorite would be "Honkai Impact 3rd" they make ingame cinematic that tells great story with AMAZING music in them (they have inhouse animation and music studios.content is copyright free).if you want you can check out "Will of the Herrscher" , "Final lesson" , "Selee", "Cyberangel" , "Shattered Samsara" , "Lament of fallen" (in that order)..or they have a fullblown concert featuring these songs and more
yes! check out their performance at the 2018 opening ceremony for LOL championship, the actual singers share the stage with their in game counterparts live via augmented reality it's great!
Please check out some of Kang Daniel’s songs he is a solo singer and his most recent album “The Story” even has MVs for some bsides. From him I recommend: Paranoia, How we live, Mad, Loser, Parade, Upside down and Ready to ride. Have fun 👍❤️
League of Legends has been around for a very long time and it is because of all the content they put out that is NOT the game itself. For years they have put out trailers to things that don't exist or music videos of parallel stories that isn't their actual lore or even a Netflix series. When you see all of this supplement material and you think about how you need to know more about this, that's why they spend so much money time and effort in them. It's all promotional, and a very good one at that. All of the extra stuff they put out is why the name League of Legends has stayed in the zeitgeist for as long as it has. It certainly isn't the game. Take K/DA for example. Wow they are super cool. What are their names? You go look that up and finds out those are alternate outfits to the characters from the game "skins". So you check out what they normally look like and think how awesome those look like. As you look that up you read their backstories and it mentions a whole bunch of other characters you want to learn about. Down the rabbit hole you go.
If you liked KDA and Pentakill, then you would be blown away by Riot World championship OST and Original Sound tracks like 'Pheonix', 'Legends Never Die', 'Warrior', 'RISE', 'Awaken', those will blow your mind, very inspirational songs too(yes hype inducing songs :) ). Plus Arcane Sound tracks are great too.
their not made for a new season, some of kda songs were released during world championships while others where released randomly. There's at least 3 music groups in league of legends: kda (currently one album), true damage (currently one song) and pentakill (metal band) (currently with 3 albums if I'm not mistaken). There also are more music videos dedicated for world championships, season openings and promotional music videos. All of the songs that comes from League of Legends music label are worth listening, so I would recommend you to react to them too.
Riot/LoL does one of these hype/inspiring/epic type MVs each year for their annual Championships. Some of my other LoL favorite songs: Rise, Taking Over, Phoenix, Bring Home the Glory, Giants, Villain, Warriors. It seems pretty common for game makers in Asia to do collaborations with singers/artists to promote a new game or season. I know that Dreamcatcher (Korean GG) has done two collaborations with games so far. Not sure about other games/groups. 1. 'Deja Vu' - Kings Raid 2. 'Rose Blue' - Girl Cafe Gun
Regarding your question about other games that do stuff like this, it depends. There are games that have made music videos, although not to the sheer quality of this one because they can't invest as much money as Riot Games can, but if you're asking whether there are other games whose soundtracks will leave your jaw dropped, oh yeah, easily. Some games nowadays have dedicated Opera teams and masters in charge of it's soundtrack, or ask very talented artists do to them, a few games whose soundtrack are great that come to mind are from the Persona series, more particularly Persona 3 to Persona 5, Final Fantasy XIV and Devil May Cry.
I just noticed that Seraphine (blue hair) is using a G733 headset K/DA special edition. Yeah, that's real and we can have one. I always thought it was just a generic headphone.
"keida" ... They say it in both videos, it's pronounced each letter separately, as it means "Kill/Death average" which is a score you get in the game based on how many kills you got and how many times you died
These girls are actual champions in the game, u can play them. This is a alternative universe for skin lines, so originally, in lore, Akali is a ninja, Ahri is a nine tale fox, Kai'sa is a girl in simbiose with a Void creature, Evelynn is a demon who eats people and Seraphine is just a singer. kekw
This is late, but some more background information to how it all started: There is one guy at Riot who really wanted to create an animated series, which we now know as Arcane (you should watch it if you haven't, it doesn't require any prior knowledge about LoL or the characters). They started developing Aracane and built up this small french animation studio, which back then in 2015 was run by like 5 people or so. There were some complications though, and they put Arcane on hold for quite some time. Soo, they had all these animators hired, that were meant to work on a show, who didn't have a job anymore, because the project was about to be ditched completely. They then started to animate music videos for Worlds (LoL's biggest professional competition), where we got songs like Rise. They did all these smaller projects like K/DA because Arcane was put on hold, without that, we wouldn't have all these amazing videos now. They recently released some videos about the production of Arcane, where they told about all this. And Popstars by K/DA was so popular, plus the skins they put in the game sold really well, so I guess it was more than worth for them to produce more of it. Also, League used to have different login screens, which are now called champion themes. They compose music fitting to the different Champs they create. If you want to check out some of those, I can recommend the themes of Jhin, Kindred and Camille as a few of the best (there are so many more though).
Trust me bro ! You will love playing them with these skins as they all make this melody when they use their spells . By the way, so happy to see your reaction. Love from Myanmar.
I really recommend looking up Villain by K/DA, is a song by my favourite champion in game Evelynn and the video in that song is INSANE. Absolutely love it
(G)I-dle was involved with "Pop/Stars", "More", and "The Baddest". When I say (G)I-dle, I mean Soyeon (writer/producer/main rapper) and Miyeon (power vocals). Soyeons fingerprints are all over those songs. RIOT brought in kpop group TWICE for "I'll show you" and you can really tell the difference. "I'll show you" is good but it sounds a lot more like 80's American pop. "Villain" and "Drum go Dum" are both excellent but again feel really different without Soyeons involvement.
Riot seriously produce some serious level of music when they tried to promote something. Remember arcane series from netflix? They get imagine dragons to sing for them. The song tittle enemy by ID make it to the top chart easily.
For more info League actually has 3 music groups. The first was Pentakill, it's the term for killing every member of the enemy team by yourself in a short timeframe, which is a metal band that has actually released 3 full albums now. K/da was second, it stands for kills deaths and assists which is your personal score in a match, which you know of. Third is True Damage, the term for the highest form of damage you can do ingame, which is a hip hop group. These aren't season cinematics, those will blow your mind, these are basically advertisements for skin lines. Almost every skin line is an alternate universe with its own story line and lore. Sometimes skinline lore is more popular that cannon lore. So basically they put out a hype song like these and make you want to buy the skins to play them ingame.
I've watched your reactions for awhile and I think you'll dig True Damage but you're gonna go nuts for Pentakill, Mortal Reminder is the video to check for them and the K/da video Villian. I also think you should check out the season cinematics, which are also music videos but not by the ingame groups.
100% agreed. :)
^ everything this dude says +1
The second this man hits play on a Pentakill song, he'll go nuts.
Oooo thank you so much for those recommendations!!
I will make sure to check them out! Seems like this is a deep rabbit hole to explore! 💯
@@EddyParera123 Kind of what I am expecting as well. :D
3:55 The moment Evelynn comes on screen and demands your attention, all you can do is hang your mouth open in awe lol 😂
😂💯
After Pop/Stars the internet was going nuts for K/DA. It had like 14mil view in the first week. It was a huge success and I think originally was going to be a one-off. But then all the comments were like "I need more of this." "MOAR!" "Please sirs, can we have some more."
So the next song they released, about 2 years later, was called "More". And on its coattails was a whole album by K/DA called All Out.
I can't wait for kda to come back
Yeah, after watching the episode of Bridging the Rift, PopStars only came about because Riot paused development on Arcane to redo the scripts. During this time Fortchie needed work in order to keep the animation team employed.

They were supposed to be a 1 time thing but were so popular that they did it again in 2020 for the championship games in China, and released a mini album at the same time.
Ah I love that they were only supposed to be a one time thing and now look! So awesome!
@@GOTGames gidle is finishing a tour of the us and they have been preforming a cover of Popstars. The only videos are from fans but you should take a look at one of those. Also here is a commercial soyjeon wrote and preformed for shake shack korea. th-cam.com/video/n9oti9orTuM/w-d-xo.html
One of the concept video of the solo single of K/DA, Villain (for Evelynn), is wo well done that sometimes, you just wonder is what's on your screen is real. Should also react to this one !
Also, the lyrics and atmosphere of the song reflect really really well the character of Evelynn, wich is a demon that charm her prey before killing them.
Oh yeah? Ah thank you! So much more to check out ❤️❤️
Vilian is great, a must see!
- Ahri the Queen of a Fox Spirit, Distance range attacker
- Evelynn the Diva of a Demon, literally (The one with 2 whips and has two claws. Her original skin has horns when she's just moving and attacking), close range attacker
- Akali the Rebel of an Assassin, (The wrapper with the motor bike), close range attacker
- Kai'sa the Huntress of a Dancer (the girl with the 2 rocket/ missile launchers), distant range attacker
- Seraphine the Dreamer of a Songstress (The girl with the longest hair among the 5), distant range attacker.
The opening ceremonies are great. It is pronounced K D A, since it stands for "Kills Deaths Assists" that are in the game. Good reaction, always happy to see people enjoying this great group.
K/ D/ A :)
@Pietro Dokkalfr Zanela *genre. Stupid smartphone. lol
Yeah but the slang for the band is pronounced K DA. Both are fine.
K D A alright! Thank you ❤️❤️
@@bowwing333 I have NEVER heard it pronounced that way until GOT reacted the first time.
These are just so so hype!!
There are 4 more songs from them
1. Baddest (Group)
2. Villain (Evelynn)
3. Drum Go Dum (Kai'sa)
4. I'll Show You (Ahri)

The motion capture is for the holograms in the live performance. I don't think they did motion capture for the MV
@@babette5918 correct - Fortiche does their stuff old school by acting out the things themselves (at least the Arcane Behind the scenes shows that for Arcane).
You must react to the other songs!
Badest - Rap (Akali)
Villain - Dark but juicy vibes (Evelynn)
Drum go dum - Booty shaker hehe (Kai'Sa)
I'll show you - NIce kpop song (Ahri)
I'd recommend you to watch all of these in one video if you want. They all have such different vibes, it'd be fun to watch you change your mood with every song haha in one video.
EDIT: Btw, just so that it doesnt catch you off guard. Out of these 4 songs I said, only two of them have an actual music video, these are Villain and I'll Show you. I tell you this because people went crazy mad at the other songs because there wasnt any animation. Badest is a lyrics music video and Drum go dum is a dance music video. With that in mind, enjoy the songs, they're super good!
YES VILLIAN IS A VIBE
Definitely will be checking them out don't worry! Can't wait to hear them 🤘💯
And their First Song KDA PopStars from 2018, it's amazing 🛐
Technically there is some animation just not 3D like More.
@@luiginaninan2507 he already reacted to it! Go watch it 😁
Yes, we say K.D.A, not K.DA (wich btw stands for Kill, Death and Assist, a stat/score in game).
Also, this virtual band was created by LoL, like True Damage or Pentakill, and one of the main reason of their creation are for advertising the new skins (don't know how to say it in another way)
its better to -say- write Kay - dee - A
Ah thank you!! ❤️❤️
true damage suck hairy donkey balls tho.
Each member of KDA also has their own song. I enjoy all of them but you should definitely check them out
it is K D A ,it stands for Kills Deaths Assist when playing games, it's a very fitting name :3 i recommend checking one of the live shows, i know one that i saw a while back that used a pretty nice and suprising special effect ;)
K/DA is one of the biggest league things (before Arcane of course) so I recommend listening to all of kda first, I also recommend the true damage song, the eSport songs, and character songs (my favourite is Varus'), but these league band songs are all based on skins, or skin sets, different skin sets have their own universe and lore. And definitely check out the Arcane songs they're badass in a whole other way and if you're wondering how they manage that kind of animation for music videos for just a game you should check out that whole series because they blow themselves out of the water, honestly running joke is riot (the company behind league of legends) does all media better than game, which is how they started. Their music, animation, storytelling is all so much better than the game.
I don't think league is the only game to do it but I think it's the only game to do it this well/successfully, I think overwatch do videos as well but I don't think they're music videos like this? Not sure.
So to answer some of your questions League does events through out the year. Typically at the start of a new season they release a cinematic (which is around New Years), April/May is the first of two huge Esport events this one being called MSI, a summer event and typically the biggest event or events are saved for the fall and this one is called Worlds. During Worlds Riot Games typically release hype songs and other content to get everyone ready for the games.
They typically have hype songs like K/DA Pop/Stars or True Damage - Giants, then there’s the yearly Worlds anthem which is like the main theme song of Worlds within a given year.
League has a bunch of songs that range in to all sorts of genres like you already know KPop, but they also have rap, metal and so much more! Def should check more of League!!!
If you liked that cinematic, maybe you should react to The Call. It's another League of Legends cinematic trailer. It will blow your mind. 🔥
Happy to 💯💯💯
Awaken first! Awaken still has some of the most iconic visuals in League - period. (Also, Curse of the Sad Mummy for the love of god, make sure you have tissues!)
Yay this is my favorite KDA song! Idle performed Pop Stars at their concert! Soooo gooood!!!!
*K/DA* has a 5 song album, not just promo. Next *League Of Legends* suggestion:
- "The Baddest" by *K/DA* [ *(G)I-DLE,* Bea Miller, Wolftyla]
- "I'll Show You" by *K/DA* ( *Twice,* Bekuh Boom, Annika Wells)
- "Giants" by *True Damage* ( *Soyeon of (G)I-DLE,* Becky G, Keke Palmer, Duckwrth)
Time to check out League of Legends Cinematics 2021 - The Call (it's for the new season), this is something you would as you so well put it yourself, "the animation is something you might confuse with real life" quality, K/DA songs are usually released as marketing for the new skins.
Fun fact: Bekuh Boom is the writer for K/DA and Blackpink hit songs.
Wait till he realizes that League has metal albums too. The metal band's name is Pentakill.
i love that you react to K/DA and hopefully also to "True Damage" the other K-Pop esq. League of Legends band, but also to their World Songs, like "Warrior", "Pheonix" or just their cinematics with AMAZING BEAUTIFUL graphics and music to them like the newest one "The Call", please don't limit your reaction of League of Legends to only the Bands they created but also to their cinematics and World stuff, that's where you really will see and FEEL that Riot understood their assigment on Worldbuilding and giving us the feels for a fckn Videogame
Honkai Impact is another game that does something like this. They usually have animation of an in game moment with a song that really adds to the atmosphere. Moon Halo is an amazing song that shows the growth of the main character. The animation it takes place in is Everlasting Flames
The entirety of Mihoyo/Hoyoverse/Hoyo-Mix just SLAPS lol. From Rex Incognito to Moon Halo to Fantasy Note, and so much more.
They're a skin line in the game. From wikipedia:
"The name "K/DA" is an in-game term in League of Legends that refers to a player's kills, deaths, and assists.[4] The creation of K/DA was based in part on the desire of Riot Games, League's developers to "see their company more as a full-fledged music label in the future".[11] Toa Dunn, head of Riot's music division, claimed in an interview with Variety that "[K/DA] was the most involved music project we’ve ever done".[12]
According to Tantula, "We believe there’s a huge overlap between League of Legends, esports overall and the music industry", and as a result, they invested "in building [their] internal music team with both an artist focused creative studio full of composers, songwriters and producers, as well as people who can perform all the services that you would see at a standard music label, such as distribution, A&R and promo."[13] Patrick Morales (creative lead behind the Pop/Stars music video), Janelle Jimenez (the lead designer behind the K/DA skins) and Toa Dunn (the head of the Riot Music Group) were the main creators of K/DA.[7] The dances were choreographed by Ellen Kim, Bailey Sok, Stevie Doré and Eileen Harman.[6] 4Minute also served as a source of inspiration behind K/DA.[5] For singing "Pop/Stars", Madison Beer was brought on early, and Jaira Burns followed.[12] As many at Riot were fans of (G)I-dle and liked "the attitude they brought to the song, especially the rap section", Miyeon and Soyeon were brought on as well.[12] "
3:31 I completely relate About how I sit here like HOW. A year on listening to this for me and I’m still mind blown and puzzled that I feel this way about these animated queens 😂. A Year on and I’m still jamming out to this song
In this video, the KDA group welcomes Seraphine, who is the fifth member who in the world of League of Legends was a singer and a big fan of the group ... there are other groups within the musical world of League of Legends ..... but before reacting to them please react to "Lucas inutilismo - 2020 em uma musica"
K.
D.
A.
Their group's name is KayDeeAye.
Kills/Deaths/Assists. Basically, one's score in a multi-player Vs. game.
Ya gotta check out Pentalkill - Mortal Reminder. Pentakill was the first LoL band concept. Heavy metal band.
There's also 4 more songs from kda : villian, the baddest, i'll show you and drum go dum
There are also many other songs from league of legends that you can check out (warriors is my personal fav)
All are amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Gonna check them out! 💯💯💯
Final Fantasy XIV releases all their main game and expansions. They even have music videos and live concerts. One of the bands that performs for FF XIV is The Primals (named after creatures in the game) are my fav, and their song A Long Fall is excellent, you get two of the band members and someone dressed up as one of the NPC's in the game performing all the dance moves you can do in Final Fantasy XIV. You should definatly check it out.
I love how there are three languages being sung in a single song.
What is the third?
@@barryallen2240 English, Korean and Seraphine sings in chinese. :)
@@abigailvalle6494 Thanks
React to VILLAN is a song by KDA
React to cinematics or other songs created by Riot
You must check this out then: Pentakill III: Lost Chapter - An Interactive Album Experience. There you will see the animation that LOL is capable of handling, and the interactive task of the players every time one of these online events takes place. By the way, the music is very good. In parts, those who give life to the animations appear, real people with sensors on their bodies.
League of Legends makes a lot of money by selling players different skins for their "Champions". They create music videos, lore, cinematics, and more to get players interested enough to buy the latest skins of the season. It's worked remarkably well for them but in turn they put out really stellar quality content! Plus they also put out a song to hype up their Worlds every year and the opening ceremonies for the tournament have all that years songs performed live, usually with some really cool effects.
True Damage - Giants has to be the next one!
Great reaction and i think nobody does it as good as Riot
You just have to check PENTAKILL! Not taking anything from K/DA but League of Legend's metal genre band is just simply epic. You just HAVE TO :D
He really needs to try "pentakill" Now i wanna see his baffled reaction on their song XD
💯💯💯💯
It's Crazy How They Made a Whole Game Just To Promote Their Musics
K/DA's song 'Pop Star' was written for one of the opening ceremonies of a League of Legends tournaments, and they took 4 of their characters (Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'sa), assigned them positions in a K-Pop band (Ahri is the queen [lead vocalist], Akali is the rebel, Evelynn is the diva, and Kai'sa is the dancer [choreographer]). They then looked for singers from the nations where League of Legends is most popular - Korea, America, and France. The inclusion of Seraphine (the new talent) was to recognize that LOL is also big in China.
There's a whole backstory of how Ahri formed the band, but I don't know where it is or if you'd be interested.
You MUST WATCH the opening ceremony. If you think the original video blew you mind, you are not prepared for the live version. I'm off to rewatch it myself.
Side note on the characters looking so good. (or badass, amazing or just plain hot.) One of the characters from the animated movie "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" made #87 on Maxim Magazine's "Hot 100" list in 2001. It was the first CGI movie using photo-realistic characters. And to date she is the only nonexistent person to make that list.
BTW, Imagine Dragons did a song for LoL, Their animated show to be exact. It is called Enemy for the show Arcane.
K/DA has so many awards to, they also got a spot on billboards with Black pink & BTS. Also K/DA is the first 4th gen kpop girl group that reached 500 million views on TH-cam.
KDA changed the marketing of the game, many developers started to make virtual bands like them
Btw if you like K/DA you should check out the opening cermonie of League of legends Worlds 2018 were the singers performt it live ( there is also a second song in there called Rise) it was the opening for The Final of the Worldchampionship from League
Thank you for the reaction. Great as always. Can`t wait for other music videos of League of Legends on your channel.
So like Chad said, there are 3 "music groups" made up of champions from LoL to promote skins they added to the game. The music is fire, the skins look fantastic. True Damage, lore wise was created as a side project by Akali following the success of K/DA. K/DA is K-Pop, True Damage is hip hop, and Pentakill is metal. But all the same, I love the content Riot has put out on the side. They more recently made a music video for the new Star Guardian skins with Porter Robinson, you should definitely go check that one out. The song is called Everything goes on
El resto de temas de KDA te encantarían!! gracias por tus videos y saludos desde España
Animations huh.. you havent seen the cinematics for the game yet, those ones are just gorgeous
"How did they capture those bad ass moves?!"
Motion. Capture. They had the girls come in and literally dance it on a mo-cap stage. There's footage out there of them putting on the golfball covered tracksuits. After they had the base dances in they went back in and refined it by hand keyframe animating them based on live action footage of them doing the dances. The production quality of the KDA videos is on par with the top music videos ever made. In some ways far exceeds most videos. They put in a lot of hard work to "shoot" the digital video like it was being done in the real world. They created digital camera rigs to mimic the motions of hand held cameras etc. And as always, the musical production is just through the roof. It's dense. There's a lot of layered tracks going on, but the one that kills me is the drop of everything to the rising thirds when Evelyn is singing "All, I've ever known... is life up on a throne." Those rising thirds are just heart stopping.
"the close up of one of their faces at the end is amazing i get that you won't confuse it with a real person but still" heh, if he watches pantheon in the call xD i wonder what his reaction would be like same for K/DA villain haha
If you're still unsure how they do perfect animated movements, I'd recommend looking up motion capture videos to see the process behind the scenes. It's interesting.
Bro checkout the first music video and the tournament final opening (live) you will be blown away. They used Augmented reality to bring live to the animated ladies on the stage, where you can see them through wearing special glasses.
Its K D A. It stands for Kills/Deaths, Assists. Its how League's (and most shooting games) player scoring work.
kda was a one off virtual kpop band set up by riot and animated by fortiche productions, and recently we found out that pop/stars essentially saved fortiche from shutting down and they went on to make many many more productions, one is a quite popular series called arcane.
Because of pop/star's success riot was essentially forced by the comunity to make... well... More, hence the title of this song.
Check another music from league of legend (true demage, penta kill) and also you sould check ENEMY by imagine dragon
If you haven't seen it yet another great K/DA song is Villain and it features Evelynn (The girl with the claws) and her voice is sung by two different people. Search K/DA - VILLAIN ft. Madison Beer and Kim Petras (Official Concept Video - Starring Evelynn) for the official video
all League of Legends World Openings Ceremonies are amazing
KDA stands for Kill/Death/Assist. Its your score in the game based on what happens. you either get a kill, die, or assist in a kill.
Actually, it's K/D A separated by letters, K/D/A actually stands for Kills/Deaths/Assists. that's where the name came from.
Blind Guardian did an in game song called Sacred for the game Sacred 2. It also came with a quest line that rewarded the band's instruments as weapons....
There's a official dance video of 1 million dance studio with members of KDA it's so freaking good
K/DA stands for 'Kills/Deaths & Assists', it's how a League of Legends match is scored.
definitely check out the LoL Worlds opening ceremonies from 2018 onward !
7:38 Yes, yes they are more, like Villain also from KDA, or Giant from another virtual band of league of legends, called true damage which is a pop band, then there pentakill the virtual rock band of league of legends. Then if you like those try the resto of their cinematic, most have music those there aren't necessarily dancing to the song and stuff. But short answer to ur question, yes they are a lot more XD
If you want to check their story - th-cam.com/video/de-xgNEsE3I/w-d-xo.html
just a fun background story with their dance choreography (*ehem* Kinjaz) - th-cam.com/video/pL6SUBXsNOU/w-d-xo.html
There is a whole album on spotify for K/DA. There is "Drums go dum", " The Baddest", "Villain", "I'll Show You". All of them are champions in league of legends and K/DA are a set of skins for these 5 champions. Ahri, Akali, Kai'sa, Evelynn and Seraphine.
You should watch the League of Legends cinematics videos as well. They are like movies. Amazing!
Bro, you've had the exact reaction I did to KDA! I have a background in Hip Hop and RnB and the only K-Pop I had knowledge of is Stay Kids! This video (yours) is 2 years old by now so I don't know if it's been explained yet but from what I know it's like this: Imaging each character as "actors", they have an in-game persona (the Legends from League i.e. Ahri the nine tail fox, Akali the rapper, Evelynn the succubus and Kai'Sa the dancer). Now imagine the same characters in real life (even though they're 3d generated) as the "actors" who came together and formed a group, that's what K/DA is.
There's online comic strips of each member that lead up to the ALL OUT E.P. and subsequent in-game skins for each character, you should check them out to get a better understanding. I've also never played LoL but I'm a 3d digital artist so have a great passion for game character design, when I came across this my mind was blown!
If u want a war theme reactions...just watch "The Call" one of the epic animation ive seen in LoL
League literally put an entire budget and KPOP music video just for the release of a hero in this. Blizzard is like 'here is a screenshot of a new hero next year' Riot is like 'HERES AN ENTIRE KPOP BAND AND A MUSIC VIDEO ON A 4 TRILLION DOLLAR BUDGET'
This is actually a song just for introduce a new hero! XD I live performance you can see the avatars, and the new singer representing she. There you go: th-cam.com/video/_hugv0CBh-E/w-d-xo.html
Riot has been doing this for almost 10 years.
They do them for new seasons, for new"skin" lines, for world championships and for new character intros.
There are a few hundred videos, some with hundreds of millions of views.
They have multiple animation styles as well as music styles.
I highly recommend checking honestly most of them out. The vast majority are brilliantly done and all the music is amazing.
I have been subbed to your channel for quite a while, and I am excited to see you doing League stuff!!!
Performance Capture is how they get moves of the idols and performers, 90% is motion capture 10% is Perfcap clean up and fill animation.
league has probably highest quality videos.and they are either for skinline ingame like K/DA or world championships like "Rise".there is is other games that makes similar stuff but might be not on same level of quality because riot just trows millions of dollars into this..but my favorite would be "Honkai Impact 3rd" they make ingame cinematic that tells great story with AMAZING music in them (they have inhouse animation and music studios.content is copyright free).if you want you can check out "Will of the Herrscher" , "Final lesson" , "Selee", "Cyberangel" , "Shattered Samsara" , "Lament of fallen" (in that order)..or they have a fullblown concert featuring these songs and more
yes! check out their performance at the 2018 opening ceremony for LOL championship, the actual singers share the stage with their in game counterparts live via augmented reality it's great!
Just supreme. RIOT have it down.. used to be Blizzard... RIOT has taken over... best ever... so good!
Please check out some of Kang Daniel’s songs he is a solo singer and his most recent album “The Story” even has MVs for some bsides.
From him I recommend: Paranoia, How we live, Mad, Loser, Parade, Upside down and Ready to ride.
Have fun 👍❤️
I started learning Korean, because of how much I love K/DA and blackpink, and German because of how much I love Rammstein
League of Legends has been around for a very long time and it is because of all the content they put out that is NOT the game itself. For years they have put out trailers to things that don't exist or music videos of parallel stories that isn't their actual lore or even a Netflix series. When you see all of this supplement material and you think about how you need to know more about this, that's why they spend so much money time and effort in them.
It's all promotional, and a very good one at that. All of the extra stuff they put out is why the name League of Legends has stayed in the zeitgeist for as long as it has. It certainly isn't the game.
Take K/DA for example. Wow they are super cool. What are their names? You go look that up and finds out those are alternate outfits to the characters from the game "skins". So you check out what they normally look like and think how awesome those look like. As you look that up you read their backstories and it mentions a whole bunch of other characters you want to learn about. Down the rabbit hole you go.
Valorant (another Riot game) has the song Die For You, which is pretty solid👌🏼
If you liked KDA and Pentakill, then you would be blown away by Riot World championship OST and Original Sound tracks like 'Pheonix', 'Legends Never Die', 'Warrior', 'RISE', 'Awaken', those will blow your mind, very inspirational songs too(yes hype inducing songs :) ).
Plus Arcane Sound tracks are great too.
their not made for a new season, some of kda songs were released during world championships while others where released randomly. There's at least 3 music groups in league of legends: kda (currently one album), true damage (currently one song) and pentakill (metal band) (currently with 3 albums if I'm not mistaken). There also are more music videos dedicated for world championships, season openings and promotional music videos. All of the songs that comes from League of Legends music label are worth listening, so I would recommend you to react to them too.
React to K/DA Villain, its a Evelynn's solo and its awesome
4:28 READ THE COMMENTS! So many people have explained how K/DA works in your last reaction. People have deconstructed the group already 👹👹👹
Riot/LoL does one of these hype/inspiring/epic type MVs each year for their annual Championships. Some of my other LoL favorite songs: Rise, Taking Over, Phoenix, Bring Home the Glory, Giants, Villain, Warriors.
It seems pretty common for game makers in Asia to do collaborations with singers/artists to promote a new game or season.
I know that Dreamcatcher (Korean GG) has done two collaborations with games so far. Not sure about other games/groups.
1. 'Deja Vu' - Kings Raid
2. 'Rose Blue' - Girl Cafe Gun
This song is to highlight the new member Seraphine.
Original member was 4 person. Now is 5 members
Regarding your question about other games that do stuff like this, it depends.
There are games that have made music videos, although not to the sheer quality of this one because they can't invest as much money as Riot Games can, but if you're asking whether there are other games whose soundtracks will leave your jaw dropped, oh yeah, easily. Some games nowadays have dedicated Opera teams and masters in charge of it's soundtrack, or ask very talented artists do to them, a few games whose soundtrack are great that come to mind are from the Persona series, more particularly Persona 3 to Persona 5, Final Fantasy XIV and Devil May Cry.
Was going to definitely recommend some FFXIV but after seeing you list Persona 5 all I can hear now is Life Will Change....last days at the palace!!!
It has always been K D A.
Even in the first group song before Seraphine joined in, the lyrics was "now its K D A, UH!".
Pentakill - Like K/DA, its a fictional band made by Riot, but its rock instead. They have both music-video and albums. Def 100% worth checking out
game? how about this, I remcomended cinematic movie/music list from game "Honkai Impact 3rd"
this game have a great and emotional music
I just noticed that Seraphine (blue hair) is using a G733 headset K/DA special edition. Yeah, that's real and we can have one. I always thought it was just a generic headphone.
well Blizzard does a great job with songs for their games. I still get goosebumps when I hear Warbringers Jaina
"keida" ... They say it in both videos, it's pronounced each letter separately, as it means "Kill/Death average" which is a score you get in the game based on how many kills you got and how many times you died
kills/deaths/assists
@@m5coate Yeah, well, the name is "K/DA" not "K/D/A" so it's Kill/Death Average
@@white-wind4167 no it was always kill death assist
@@toamszkozak8822 whatever makes u sleep at night, love
sorry trying to go to my setting to lower the bass is over done :/ cut out.
These girls are actual champions in the game, u can play them. This is a alternative universe for skin lines, so originally, in lore, Akali is a ninja, Ahri is a nine tale fox, Kai'sa is a girl in simbiose with a Void creature, Evelynn is a demon who eats people and Seraphine is just a singer. kekw
This is late, but some more background information to how it all started: There is one guy at Riot who really wanted to create an animated series, which we now know as Arcane (you should watch it if you haven't, it doesn't require any prior knowledge about LoL or the characters). They started developing Aracane and built up this small french animation studio, which back then in 2015 was run by like 5 people or so. There were some complications though, and they put Arcane on hold for quite some time. Soo, they had all these animators hired, that were meant to work on a show, who didn't have a job anymore, because the project was about to be ditched completely. They then started to animate music videos for Worlds (LoL's biggest professional competition), where we got songs like Rise. They did all these smaller projects like K/DA because Arcane was put on hold, without that, we wouldn't have all these amazing videos now. They recently released some videos about the production of Arcane, where they told about all this. And Popstars by K/DA was so popular, plus the skins they put in the game sold really well, so I guess it was more than worth for them to produce more of it.
Also, League used to have different login screens, which are now called champion themes. They compose music fitting to the different Champs they create. If you want to check out some of those, I can recommend the themes of Jhin, Kindred and Camille as a few of the best (there are so many more though).
K/DA strands for Kill Deaths Assist, a ration in scoring your performance in the game
Trust me bro ! You will love playing them with these skins as they all make this melody when they use their spells . By the way, so happy to see your reaction. Love from Myanmar.
I really recommend looking up Villain by K/DA, is a song by my favourite champion in game Evelynn and the video in that song is INSANE. Absolutely love it
(G)I-dle was involved with "Pop/Stars", "More", and "The Baddest". When I say (G)I-dle, I mean Soyeon (writer/producer/main rapper) and Miyeon (power vocals). Soyeons fingerprints are all over those songs. RIOT brought in kpop group TWICE for "I'll show you" and you can really tell the difference. "I'll show you" is good but it sounds a lot more like 80's American pop. "Villain" and "Drum go Dum" are both excellent but again feel really different without Soyeons involvement.
Riot seriously produce some serious level of music when they tried to promote something.
Remember arcane series from netflix?
They get imagine dragons to sing for them. The song tittle enemy by ID make it to the top chart easily.
