DANCE CHOREOGRAPHER REACTS - 第一生命 D.LEAGUE 24-25 ROUND.2

[@genkiYK_tokyo]

I was relieved to see how most of your opinions were similar to mine! ❤ About RAN, SP for Dip Battles, he is now a member of MAZZEL, the second boy group from BMSG after BE:FIRST. He was the finalist in the audition where BE:FIRST was born, so naturally good friends with SOTA and other members 😊 He and Kensei (dip’s director / ace dancer of R2) were teammates and even a duo from youth till 18 yr old. They won many dance battles / contests together! At the MVD speech of this Round, Kensei mentioned RAN as the actual MVD (but SP cannot play ace nor receive MVD votes😂). FYI Here are some YT videos of MAZZEL - hope you enjoy! “Mazquerade” Official MV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2avpYWwdr59lcUsi=SIX9c14qvtbbSv-a Dance practice ver.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5SpaJSodqpshbMsi=WR2o0yU_ghd3TRVm RAN is in black knit cap with white logo “K&K” (Dance practice only) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWW4f6ikZt96r9ksi=z4IXDGpx7tIoCLUT RAN is in black zip-up hoodie & black sweatpants, with black baseball cap

I hope to be able to watch MAZZEL in the near future! They look super fun!!!

@@jess_holyfield i’d love for you to check MAZZEL out! their dance line consists of very interesting individualities and quirks incorporated into their choreos like their song, Parade, has a breaking segment by one of the members SEITO in their choreo made by Quick Style!

Two straight wins! dip BATTELS seems totally different team from the past 3 years, Next round will be very important for them if they really aim to win this season. BTW SP dancer Ran and Legit Takumi are also very close friends, they used to dance together on 2vs2 popping dance-battles when they were teenagers. With Kensei, three of them were good old friends. Right before this 24-25 season, they worked together as teammate dancers on TV dance battle show that aired for 3 months. I think this reunion inspired Kensei setting him on fire to win D league🔥

[@jess_holyfield]

I’m so proud of them!! I’m hopeful for more successes this season for dip because they really have been taking great strides from last season!

[@suzu3775]

Thank you for the reaction😊🇯🇵

[@jess_holyfield]

Thank you for watching!

[@Hi-iq9jv]

Really enjoyed your reaction, I watched dleague live for the first time because of RAN but I really enjoyed this round I will definitely watch all rounds now. Will come back to your reaction definitely again.

[@jess_holyfield]

Thank you for watching with me! Excited to continue watching all of the rounds!!

MAZZEL調べてくれてありがとうございます❤

[@jess_holyfield]

Thank you for watching with me!

[@typicald4y]

The amount of times I gasped out loud during this round, judging definitely took me by surprise 😭

[@jess_holyfield]

I know right?! I mean you saw how I felt haha

[@lalapts4018]

I really enjoyed your reaction to the d-league round 2. Speaking of the Special Dancer RAN, he was a former popper and ended up being the member of j-pop boy band MAZZEL. There is a long story about ACE/Director KENSEI (dip) and RAN as you can see the other comments. So it's great to see them together dancing on the stage again😭

[@jess_holyfield]

@@lalapts4018 I am delighted if their reconnection and I’m so happy that we get to watch this season together!

[@lalapts4018]

@@jess_holyfield I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask you, but any chance you can react to some MAZZEL’s dance practice videos? There are some awesome dancers in the group. I recommend "K&K dance practice" and "Counterattack dance practice" to you. Please check them out if you like🥰

[@jess_holyfield]

Hey! So I’m glad I caught your request! So it will be a bit hard for now to look at some of their work, but in the event I request some material in the community tab (I do this usually when a subscriber count is achieved) would LOVE to look at their stuff!

[@jess_holyfield]

I also have a tier on Patreon that has guaranteed reaction requests as an option if you don’t want to wait around 😝

[@キョロ-j4s]

いつも動画ありがとう😊 毎回必ず見てます！

[@jess_holyfield]

Thank you for watching with me!

[@missjade1339]

I was hoping somehow Raiserz would get a sweep. : ( Also, RAN (special performer for DIP Battles) is a member from the boy group, Mazzel. They are managed by the same company as Be:First. I recommend checking out Mazzel. They have some nice choreos. ^^

[@missjade1339]

I decided to actually try to record my predictions and I am also wrong at so many of them.

[@sphinxxgaming1522]

I literally had the same reaction as you when Sega Sammy Lux won 😭😭. I genuinely thought it would be Fullcast Raiserz..but still congrats to Sega though

[@jess_holyfield]

So glad I am not crazy 😂😂 I’ve been losing my mind as each match happened 🫠 I thought I was just an idiot in how all these were being looked at 😂

[@jonjamdt]

I haven’t seen every single comment you’re talking about but I watched ALT-RHYTHM vs battles and it really interesting to see and hear commenting what you think and analyse. Anyway I’m so happy to see you are having and analysing about D.LEAGUE. I hope much more people coming to watch every single round either at theatre or streaming site from worldwide. ❤

[@jess_holyfield]

I hope that others can enjoy watching alongside us! LOVE this circuit!

[@ridlofirmanda3478]

There were a lot of upsets in this edition. I agree with your votes tho mostly.

[@jess_holyfield]

Thank you for watching with me!

[@Fuminori-el8ju]

I was paying attention to KANATO from CyberAgent Legit who appeared in the 4th Match because he is a childhood friend of TOMOYA from NEXZ. Thank you for your reaction!!😄

[@jess_holyfield]

@@Fuminori-el8ju super fun!! Glad to have you here and looking forward to more rounds!

[@aki_f43]

Thank you Jessica for your honest reactions. I was beyond frustrated when Raiserz lost this match. At this point, I'm still trying to figure out what the judges are looking for because half the time their scoring really doesn't make any sense to the general viewer, and even to you as a dancer. Unfortunately, without the judges' comments we can't even pinpoint what went wrong (in their eyes at least)

[@jess_holyfield]

I appreciate you and your feedback! I’m hopeful we will be getting some judges commentary at some point, because that does help in some way

[@pannatatchaumchit3983]

Okay, queen of speed haha

[@jess_holyfield]

haha! I got lucky this time haha!

much love!

[@pannatatchaumchit3983]

38:32 I dare to say that if Korea has Lip J, Taiwan has Chrissy Chou, Japan also has Calin. They are so strong in their Waacking style.

[@jess_holyfield]

I LOVED her feature moment here and our member from the beginning! SUCH FUN!!!! I thought Calin was more of a locker (based on her cypher performance from last season) but I may be remembering the wrong member!

[@pannatatchaumchit3983]

@@jess_holyfield That is what unique in Japanese Waacking! Japan has special groove called "Soul Dance" since many Soul Train dancers moved to Japan. Most of Japanese Waackers can do Soul Dance (Even from the Monoliz's match this round). Korea also have Soul Waacker such as Soul K, Jini, Pony, Leever and Jeem.

[@pannatatchaumchit3983]

​​​@@jess_holyfieldOh!!Another reason may because there is no disco song on the show​. I hope to see Calin more in the battle especially in Line Up 10 🤭 (Chihiro, the leader of Lifull Alt-Rhythm, participated in Line Up 8 as a guest battler)

[@cleitonmaximo2462]

I was watching the episode live on youtube, and i was SUPER LOOKING FORWARD to BOMs performance but i don't know why, it felt so underwhelming when it ended. I've never studied dance or anything, maybe i didnt have "the eye" for it. Now that I watched it again, i did not feel underwhelming at all... Maybe my expectations were too high ahahaha

[@jess_holyfield]

No I totally understand! Expectations can be hard to avoid when we become passionate about a circuit or know that a group kills it every time we see them. Very much looking forward to the next round!

[@Himayday-z]

Jessica, can you reaction to the show street dance Viet Nam? Plss It's been out for 2 years but no one has reaction 😊😊😊

[@jess_holyfield]

I hope to be able to one day!

[@サカハル-p6w]

ジャッジタイムのときに間違えてしまった時にあなたは残念がりますが、結果を当てることが全てではありませんよ！ それぞれの思い描く結果があって当然です！それが納得いかなくても、予想どうりであってもそれが個性でありダンスのよさなのでは？

[@サカハル-p6w]

考え方に個性はあっても間違いはないはず！楽しんで！

[@jess_holyfield]

Thank you for your encouraging words! This is the first time I have been as wrong as I was, so that’s why I was taken a back this time 😂 Means a lot to receive this feedback ♥️♥️♥️

[@アホ-w7w]

Why do you act so high and mighty when you're just a regular guy? Will you shut up because people will think you Japanese are crazy? Are you really Japanese even though you use Japanese?

[@アホ-w7w]

@@jess_holyfield You are not wrong, the D-League does not have any rules about viewing attitudes. The Japanese speaker who is commenting is lying. There are people who use Japanese but are not Japanese, and I don't know about you, but the D-League does not have any rules about the attitude to watch. You are correct in your opinion. Thank you for your interest in Japan.

[@pannatatchaumchit3983]

Okay, I thought I was the only one who not agree with judges lol. I have so many thoughts omg 🥹.

[@jess_holyfield]

haha! Losing my mind over here.. Bless it

[@kai-xm8tj]

About results of Raiserz vs Lux, most of the people said No way! Raiserz was really good! Why???!!! on live-chats of youtube. It seems only the judges were in favor of Lux.

[@jess_holyfield]

I am really hopeful to see some form of commentary so I can understand more !!
