Classical & Jazz Musicians React: ARTMS 'Birth' vs 'Flower Rhythm'

[@ReacttotheK]

HELLO ORBITS!!! SORRY THIS ARRIVED SO LATE! I originally planned to post our Loossemble and ARTMS reactions the same day MONTHS ago, so I feel like I owe an explanation for the delay: Since none of our recently hired editors have edited a “vs” (2 song) reaction video before, I wanted to take on the task of editing both reactions myself. This would equal up to 100 hours of editing for me. But I was passionate to get these videos out at the same time, until, I damaged my external hard drive that had all my Loossemble editing progress on it (that was the reaction video I had started with/had the most editing done on). Then interviews and family stuff came up and took up the rest of my time, so I finally admitted to myself this was a challenge I could not undertake alone and gave one of my editors the Loossemble reaction to edit while I continued my ARTMS edits. Sorry the visual edits in this video are so minimal, I wanted to get this reaction out ASAP since you all have been already waiting so long for it. Our reactions to Loossemble’s Sensitive, Girl’s Night and maybe even TTYL will be released later this month! I aim to release Yves & CHUU reactions as well! Hope you had fun watching this reaction and look forward to our upcoming LOONA related content

[@5oyongdori]

thank u for the hard work

[@V_OmegA]

It's OURII guys, not Orbits ;) 💎

[@jamztheworld12]

@@V_OmegA they're kinda interchangeable, most ouriis are also orbits and vice versa

[@jamesrawlins735]

It's ok - we appreciate all the hard work these reactions take and sometimes they get delayed. I will admit I had painful flashbacks when I read that the hard drive got damaged last time and we never got to see the reactors reaction to the Seoul Philhamonic's version of Feel My Rhythm (I still think that is the reaction I was most looking forward to watching......but S happens.)

[@ReacttotheK]

@@V_OmegA I wanted to address any curious Loossemble, Yves and Chuu fans who clicked on this video as well, so went with “Orbits” :)

[@skyyyyyskyyyy]

Virtual Angel is needed

[@pikachu7572]

Think they have it on patreon

[@EmilyMusic3v3]

They talked about it/analyzed in their Patreon podcast!

[@dmitrypavlov9316]

an orbit needs to take one for the team and pirate them fr

[@EmilyMusic3v3]

@@dmitrypavlov9316 bruh reacttothek is already struggling financially, why would you do that to them 😭

Fr!!

[@sensasian9689]

Genuinely miss the days when we had the 2 song reactions

[@ReacttotheK]

What do you like about the 2 song reactions? :) I've always been genuinely curious, because in the past, family members and managers complained to me about how long my videos are when we compare 2 songs 🙈 So i'd love to know what draws people to them! :D

[@stellasketch2962]

@@ReacttotheKit’s interesting to see what song they like better especially if it’s from the same album but generally I just like to see people reacting to more music from my fav artists. so 2 songs per video feels like a special treat!

[@703elee]

nothing in kpop reactiondom (is that a word?) will ever beat when a reacttotkek reactor just plays what they just heard on the piano

[@proboffensive]

birth is one of the most interesting songs i've heard in a WHILEEEE

[@jinsolz]

artms really are doing something new in kpop. they are like early loona in the best way possible, which makes sense since they have said they will be continuing/evolving that sound.

[@cvill]

Birth might be the greatest piece of kpop to ever exist like actually

[@nabi_zzzs]

I absolutely love the artistic creativity in BIRTH. It has to be one of my favorite songs ARTMS has released alongside Virtual Angel.

[@za_wavbit]

5:48 yeah of course Best album of the year, best LOONA-related album since [x x], also DALL has probably my favorite b-side from non-OT12 LOONA (Distress). A lot of groups have done horror-ish concepts, and obviously that's Pixy's whole thing, but musically and visually, Birth is really in a league of its own.

[@pikachu7572]

@@za_wavbit My problem with pixy is lack of commitment - like you have to go all the way musically, vocally

[@maybemablemaples2144]

​@pikachu7572 this. But it seems like it's a problem with SK content laws. ARTMS talked about how horror concepts aren't popular in mainstream.😊

[@AnonVideos]

These songs are like impressionistic paintings 😊 They make my ears buzz in a good way

[@FranDurstYeah]

You were on point with the Neoclassical Darkwave comparison! Birth is like a K-Pop answer to This Mortal Coil.

[@yumenohoshi3303]

ARTMS debut album is just unbelievably cool. That’s just an insane way to (re)debut. Also, Air has ODD EYE CIRCLE’s Air Force One chorus’ melody 😁 like, they brought everything together

[@shikijaady4743]

The moment I first listened to Birth, I said that it would be great for your channel to react to it due to the intricate details and unique arrangements featured in this song. Thanks for letting that happen.

[@trainb4by]

artms is so ahead of the curve i know they will be big

[@landlockedlifeguard]

obsessed with the description of the melancholic, uncomfortable & alien content of the Birth MV as "girl stuff." that's the realest shit i've heard today. 👏👏👏

[@papagowon7849]

Not to be insufferably defending Birth from any and all criticism, but I do wonder if the ones who didn't get it would have benefited from knowing the lyric content, which has so much emphasis on illusion, delirium, not trusting memories, it really supports the unsettling and jarring construction of the song itself

[@0dd_ada]

Never clicked on a video as fast as I did with this one 😭

[@auleaf1210]

This is the first time I heard 'Birth' and it reminds me of jpop soundtracks from utopian genre anime back then like Departure by EGOIST in Guilty Crown. It's a jarring sounds but paints a unique picture overall

[@pretzel477]

5:49 YOU GET IT

[@maybemablemaples2144]

THAT'S ON PERIODT 💅🏿✨️

[@bluesoul06137]

10:38 Jinsoul has a friend at Digipedi that worked on this music video and that friend also said that it sounded like movie music

[@gingersongstress]

Literally pausing what I was watching to watch this bc it was THAT important lol I am always glad to see more Birth appreciators

[@lxyal8058]

cosmic reaction turned into a dream atp 😭😭 but im glad yall took a look at ARTMS!

[@yinandyangmix]

SUPER excited for the Loossemble reactions but also sad there's currently no Virtual Angel reaction planned! I do see why you chose these two b-sides though

[@ireneasare9552]

looks like they listened to it on the podcast

[@pearsfears]

i love how hype some of the reactors were!! 😭💖💖 "i hope it blows up and everyone gets to listen to it" YES THANK YOU, i'm so obsessed with birth!!! and i agree - i missed several songs being in one video! i loved when you did the whole loona discography and it just felt so good to share several of your favorites' strengths with you guys hehe

[@kdome9107]

such a long time since we had this two reactions in one video! love it

[@bellam2981]

i really love how it’s reactions to two songs, instead of just one

[@uniqueh4ndle]

I love ARTMS so far, modhaus is really just doing it the best at the moment. I saw some people complaining about how TripleS doesn't have enough experimentation and different genres in their discography, seems like they're testing everything out on ARTMS instead because they know us orbits will just love it

[@moonserafim]

kevin so funny with that 15 members 😭 my fav orbit from this channel

[@enniesways3635]

Wow I feel like I haven't seen such excited and strong reactions from yall in a long time!! so good!

[@zion.ocean1520]

I've been waiting for this since Birth was released. Birth is really unique, everytime I listen to it I'm still like "Wtf" 😅 I really wish they do a whole album with that dark wave vibe.

[@pikachu7572]

[@codename-pi]

its so funny yet touching as a long time subscriber to see umu growing from looking like your friend in college to a sophisticated business woman anw we've been waiting for the loona reactions♡♡♡

[@glassjawx10]

1000% agree with Henry’s comment about ARTMS being for the girls and the gays 😂 I feel like we don’t see Leon on the keys as much, but he was so good on the delivery of those melancholy chords. And 😢 when Taya mentioned appreciating LOONA for being trailblazers. I felt that so hard and it makes me so proud to be an Orbit. 🫶🏽

[@liltunwin]

Alright I finally joined Patreon. Appreciate all the reaction videos to Loona acts post-BBC 👍

Thank you so much for your support! 🥺 post-BBC LOONA releases continue to be TOP tier!! 🙌

hopefully you guys release more 'vs' type content. especially if they are songs from the same group... or maybe even songs from different groups that take different/similar approach to the same concept(?) just really love the comparison/contrast with 2 songs. will be waiting patiently for loossemble :D
