GFRIEND | 'Rough', 'Navillera', 'Time For The Moon Night', 'Sunrise' MV REACTION | The strings!!

[@DatVideoDoe]

No matter how long it’s been, that ending of Sunrise ALWAYS gives me goosebumps.

[@ELmayberry]

😮 yesss 😍

[@catrina1589]

seeing people still reacting to gfriend warms my heart 🥹

[@Simi_broo]

💯

[@sophiaspells]

I can't be the only one who cries everytime I listen to Sunrise 😢😢

[@orbitingloonas]

Me too 😭 with any from them

[@ELmayberry]

Sunrise deserves tears 😊

[@okaysumin]

😢😢

[@alvyramses1201]

m eeither!!!😭😭😭😭😭

[@cloudybrains]

I cry every time I see TFTMN because Eunha is my ultimate bias and even her being hypothetically dead in an MV is too much for me :(

[@omarrenteria7388]

THE PRODUCTION, THE LYRICS, THE MELODIES, THEY DONT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE IN KPOP.

[@ananda_lim]

Yeah... I miss that honestly. 😢

[@Scylid]

In my opinion, maybe no other kpop groups tried, and maybe because they can't par on how GFRIEND delivered such style and music in kpop. This has became their trademark. A huge respect on how GFRIEND popularized and this style and once you hear something similar music like they did, you would instantly remember "oh it feels like GFRIEND".

[@yonasco14]

Rough is the one song that put them right up there with the big3 3rd gen girl groups (Twice, BlackPink and Red Velvet) like they were competing with the best at their peaks which was insane for such a small company.

[@arco__]

I was hoping for Crossroads 🥹😩

[@AtinyWalwalMoodz]

Crossroads is my favorite

[@chaemochi]

Part 3: Crossroads, Love Whisper, Fever 🩵🩵🩵

[@gisellekazakhgf]

​@@chaemochifever...indeed

[@bettinachan4224]

Gfirend has too many good song😂❤

[@Arkki11]

Maybe future video

[@Elnbl]

I'm really happy that someone is reacting to gfriend's song. Your "who is she?" The member who asked is yuju, he is the main vocalist. Gfriend -invented 2x speed dance -Mago blindfolded dance practice -random 2x speed dance

[@jorgesc04]

No one does it like gfriend anymore, love them sm

[@DatVideoDoe]

Rough is so iconic. Rough got them their 1st win and is still the Kpop girl group song with the 2nd most music show wins (APINK - LUV being #1). They went viral a few months before its release due to a video of the girls slipping and falling on their faces while performing Me Gustas Tu in the rain.

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

"Time For The Moon Night" and "Sunrise" never fail to give me chills.

[@ujang2365]

my god, this songs bring MEMORIES

[@majdmansour1876]

MEMORIA

[@peterhugo2078]

I felt sorry for you trying to understand the Time for the Moon Night video as Buddies were totally confused at the time as well. Later videos revealed that Eunha was the only one left alive after all the other members killed each other being jealous of each other’s special powers. Only Eunha with her magic power of time travel by releasing one of her 4 magic blue butterflies 🦋 can she try to correct the wrongs of the past. You will see a lot relating to this storyline in the Crossroads music video which is more like a movie. The Time for the Moon Night video has a series of flashbacks to Eunha remembering when they were all happy together, interspersed with Yuju visiting the grave of a deceased member and Yerin crying listening to a departed member’s voice on a radio cassete. Sowon the leader and mum to the group is seen comforting them throughout. You will see them fighting each other in the video for Fingertip. Later on in the video only Eunha is alive and she waits for nightfall, the Time for the Moon Night in the title, when she can be reunited with the deceased members in her dreams again. But she is scared of Sunrise when she will lose them again which is why that is the follow up song in their discography. This is the first song when Yuju gets a rest vocally and Eunha takes over for Gfriend’s legendary high notes. Yuju went missing for months from Gfriend’s schedules shortly before Sunrise was released and the company covered up why. We never did find out what happened but she certainly handed over the high notes to Eunha a lot more after that. She also had lost a little of weight when she returned for the Sunrise promotion so it appears that she had been ill but we can only speculate as their company seemed to delight in secrecy.

[@somebuddy.]

Gfriends passionate melancholy songs!

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

My favorite songs of theirs.

[@gcf.isabela]

Literally crying listening to time for the moon night

[@glitterriddler]

that's the group that made me realize i love sad and dramatic music

[@HeyItsMikaylaa]

Also in my opinion crossroads also explains TFTMN a bit especially Umji and Yuju. The basics of their storyline are that they're just a group of besties who get granted cute little magic powers by a lake (in Love Whisper) but they end up becoming envious of each other(e.g stuffed animals are associated with Yerin's power but often seen with Umji). Eunha is concerned about this and I don't remember the specifics but she ends up being given 5 butterflies and everytime she releases one, they go back in time but at the same time the glass bead (symbolism for innocence as we know) becomes darker and darker (and in apple when she releases all of them the glass bead turns red > apple > temptation > they become witches)

[@carterjones4675]

So when does Mago come into the story? I love that song, but it didn't seem to fit the story.

[@minolino2176]

​​​@@carterjones4675In Mago, they're free, they're modern witches. They don't need to be just evil, they can coexist with good and evil within them. The lyrics of Mago say "No more fairytale" (cause the whole trilogy of Crossroads till Mago was told in a way that it felt like a fairytale. They even had HQs) and "My life is waiting for you (yes, you), her smiling at me in the mirror" the word "her" in this context mean themselves. Anyways, they're free and making a party, to be more specific, the Walpurgis Night (name of the Mago Album), which in some places are related with burning stuff and dancing. It's also related to witches in a way... The concept photos to the Walpurgis Night album also explains some stuff, like them being business woman, or just having fun outfits. They're like any other woman, and they don't need to be pure an innocent forever.

[@carterjones4675]

@@minolino2176 Thanks for explaining! I'm glad that even though Mago wasn't expected to be their last comeback, it was still coincidentally a good ending :)

[@garlicandmayo]

gfriend mvs are irreplaceable. they really did an excellent job in embracing those aesthetic configurations particulary to the audience.

[@kyushuji]

GFRIEND is really such a legendary group for me. Their music is something else, and that feeling you whenever you hear their songs is something I can't find to other groups. They're irreplaceable, I miss them so much. You should definitely check their dance practices or choreos, they are one of my favorite groups to watch when it comes to choreography. They are also known as a group who have "Knife-like choreography" and as what everyone tells "Synchronization Queens"

[@gcf.isabela]

You neeeeeeed to check out their "blind" dance practice for mago. It's crazy how they get the choreography right even though they can't see

[@happinesss2]

Gotta react to all their dance challenges like 2x speed!

[@jokatsui988]

gfriend also has so many insane bsides like sunshine, trust, vacation, you are not alone, rain in the spring time and many more :)

[@rexpalparan8765]

what's unbelievable in Gfriend that they don't have rapper in their group but their songs always gets recognized everytime they made a comeback and always top in music charts 😊 proud buddy till now 😊

[@gabriellaaritonang8399]

gfriend to me is one of the best things to happen to kpop. glad i discovered kpop around the time they were active. THEY DONT MAKE THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN IN KPOP ANYMORE ISTG

[@yeahrightlol1]

Love whisper, summer rain and Sunny summer 🥹

[@singularity4828]

Time for the moon night, Sunrise and Crossroads, its like their dramatic emotional trilogy. All 3 are so well written and filled with emotional, every time I listen to it I get teary eyes

[@larabelfort6556]

Navillera inexplicably always makes me emotional, my eyes water everytime I listen to it and I have no idea why since is such a lively song

[@dem0nxx671]

5:22 If you pay closer attention to the Clock formation at the end, you'll see that each successive girl holds her head higher than the previous one. From Yerin's head down to Eunha's head held high. The song Rough, literally translated from Korean - Running Through Time. And the name Rough - indicates a Difficult Period in Life, when girls after school are forced to overcome difficulties away from each other, this is what the last Clock formation is dedicated to.

[@flwrlizz]

I'm happy to see you enjoying this nostalgic/magic sound that Gfriend songs have, just like i did when i heard them for the first time ☺Hope you go for "Fingertip", "Fever", "Love Whisper" and "Crossroads" in the next video 💖 PS: Just for notes, "Sunny Summer" and "Summer Rain" are more like *special songs* (a summer comeback and reckpage for an EP, respectively).

[@zavia973]

So glad you're gonna check out some dance practices. They genuinely have some of the prettiest and most synchronized choreo executions. Whether blind folded or dancing at 2× speed, they always manage to keep that execution (recommend those videos as well😭). I'm glad you enjoy their older music too. It's equal parts nostalgic, passionate, melancholy, and happy at the same time? So unique.

[@dem0nxx671]

8:30 this hand sign symbolizes a butterfly in Korean Nabi (there is no V sound in Korean), hence Navillera - a Korean poetic epic, describing the flight of feelings from one heart to another, like the flight of a butterfly. The blue butterfly is one of the main symbols of GFriend, and even the VIVIZ Fandom Name is called Na V.

[@peterhugo2078]

I am really looking forward to seeing your reaction to their dance practice videos. That is when you will notice their amazing synchronisation and be able to enjoy the beautiful formations they create. They make the difficult look so effortless it takes a while to fully appreciate just how unique their dancing is. They have pin point precision to the exact spot where they need to be at every second of the song in order to create the required formations perfectly, even if they have to hop diagonally backwards (as in Love Whisper) to find it or if totally blindfolded (as in both Apple and Mago). Double speed is no problem for them either and they literally created the concept for Weekly Idol when a viewer rang in and asked them to perform Rough at double speed which was unexpected and unrehearsed. They killed it so they got harder and harder variants to test drive a new concept in future shows they did. The presenters said if GFriend cannot manage it, we will forget it as it is clearly impossible.

[@thatPEARL]

I love their passionate melancholy and powerful innocent music! They stood out so much in kpop during their era. I miss them 🥺

[@binpham7319]

my 4 most fav Gfriend songs ❤ anime theme

[@life_of_a_simp1458]

Their dance practice are top tier! U gotta watch it

[@jamesrawlins735]

Rough is their second comeback but the first after Me Gustas Tu (Glass Bead was their debut). It was also The Song of 2016 - the best selling song of that year in South Korea and winner of 15 trophies. Time for the Moon Night was written by the same composer. Btw, I would really check out the dance practice for both songs because the dances are really amazing but you don't hardly see them in the mv. Btw, since you enjoy that style (with the strings), listen to Destiny by the group Lovelyz - it's another amazing song.

[@somebuddy.]

The korean title of 'Rough' is 'Running through time'. This song and its mv were inspired by the famous anime film 'The girl who leapt through time'.

[@rosy8772]

time for the moon night always makes me cry lmfaoo the nostalgia

[@marcelwannieck]

Time for the Moon Night is my favourite Gfriend song. It has this amazing sense of melancholy that very few other songs can give me. I was fortunate enough to see Viviz at the MIK Festival in London last year. And I could not believe my ears when TFTMN started playing. I cried my goddamn soul out that day.

[@yukuolee3562]

So glad to see you come back to Gfriend so soon - and the sooner the better. The selections you had for this video basically highlight the unique sound of Gfriend. The dominant presence of string and anime-like melody underscore the specific sound for a Gfriend song. The first two songs came from Gfriend's early part after their debut - bursting with youthful energy and anticipating the unknown future as they enjoyed each other's company during their formative days. This period is often endearingly labeled as the "Powerful Innocence" era. The latter two, although still carried their signature orchestra pop sound, delved into more somber themes in life. Both "Time For the Moon Night" (TFTMN) and "Sunrise" belong to this epoch often known as "Passionate Melancholy" to Gfriend's followers. Gfriend's MVs are often a tease that challenges their audience to form their own conclusion on the intended underlying message. There is a strong contingent among the fandom who believe TFTMN is about mourning after losing loved one(s), and Sunrise deals with the recovery after mourning. This is by no means the only theory and you could form your own if you are interested in brain teasers. Gfriend's music consistently deliver fantastic vocal, memorable choreography, and melodies that strike an emotional chord while deliver dramatic story-telling, whether sentimental or uplifting, as you noted. You are only in the midst of an satisfying journey that sates the appetite for quality music and curiosity to know the members better. Look forward to your next tranche of Gfriend content. Thanks for the reaction.

[@chaewonrise]

you kept commenting on yuju's voice and yeah her vocals are insane she is now a soloist you can check her out if you want she debuted with a song called play

[@happinesss2]

I miss her vocals from early era. She's regressed a lot imo but hopefully she can bounce back. I really miss her clear resonance.

[@beauregarden]

Damn even after all this time i still tear up 🥲 Never underestimate Gfriend's ability to hit you in the feels. Also Gfriend instrumentals are superior 😊

[@Caratdeul3]

They were like seventeen so talented they have the best choreos and the Synchronization and they are friends like the 98s line sinb and umji and seugkwan

[@703elee]

everytime i hear time for the moon night and sunrise i feel like the songwriters personally challenged themselves to do as many key changes as possible in the most unconventional ways possible while still making them pop songs and not modern jazz renditions (and not complaining whatsoever here)

[@yiri9259]

That voice u like is Yuju! She is a soloists now! pls react to her solo MV too!!!

[@alvyramses1201]

FUN FACT FOR EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW. THE TROPHYS THEIR USE IN NAVILERA MV WAS THE THROPYS THEY'VE GOT IN PREVIOUS COMEBACK (ROUGH)

[@alvyramses1201]

I MEAN NOT THE REAL ONE, BUT THE TOTAL OF THE TROPHY WAS THE TOTAL WINS ON THEIR ROUGH CB

[@rexpalparan8765]

im crying literally when Rough start playing 😢

[@avionugrohoomar]

Until this second every time im listening to Gfriend songs, my heart feels so hurt but im still smiling 🥲

[@Scylid]

When you get to their Japanese releases, i'm sure you'd be amazed more of their vocability and their concept. Thank you for exploring GFRIEND's music.

[@dvroble]

Yuju’s vocals are what drew me to Gfriend. Her voice is pure gold, especially in Rough

[@lexierimes123]

You need to check out the choreographies of their song!! One of the reason why they blew up was because of how intense and in sync they were with their choreo!!

[@lexierimes123]

My favourite choreos for them are glass bead, rough, navillera, mago

[@marirg2995]

i love Eunha vocals on Sunrise. I love reactions to Gfriend wainting for more

[@rubidrop]

You should check their summer songs- Love Whisper Summer Rain Sunny Summer Fever

[@hyunin00]

i need summer rain and fallin light on here ❤️❤️

[@nurullatifahbusrah7120]

we miss gfriend so much😭

[@hockeyfan-seyeyy]

You're a Buddy now forever. In the Rough mv they said that it was freezing cold and they were out there wearing little dresses. They said it was miserable.

[@mimbo15116]

Fun fact: the music show wins for the song 'Navillera' are as many as the number of trophies in its MV

[@Mayukirin08]

This is my top 4 songs of GFRIEND!! and here you are reacting to them!! I love them so much!!

[@nrrrsyyy7750]

No one doing like them 😢 imiss gfriend era sm

[@cosygracegames]

I still remember Rough and Sunrise being on my playlist back when I first got into kpop, and also navilleira is such a bop!!

[@angelnavidad3769]

Amazing reaction Sunrise Masterpiece 😢😢

[@Mogajaee]

Sunrise is one of my all time favourite songs. The vocals near the end of the song and Eunha's final part gives me CHILLS.

[@notsoptimistic]

oh wow reacting alongside you made me tear up I dropped kpop since GFriend disbanded and I feel so nostalgic listening to them after a while

[@Cyana_.]

Here some lists of their mv that you still didn't react^^ Fever, Crossroads, Fingertip, Flower (Japanese MV), Sunny Summer, Labyrinth (Performance On Stage), Fallin' Light, Memoria, Love Whisper & Summer Rain... I might missed more haha

I miss my 6 girls, they are so unique💖

[@JackyKY]

I miss gfriend so much😢no one makes music like that in kpop anymore, i'm so sad... I need someone to copy them asap

[@xberryxz]

I’ve always thought that all gfriend songs kind of reminded me of an anime opening idk why hahahaha You should definitely react to Fever and Fingertip and also watch all the dance practices cause they're so goood

[@MikaJikauro]

Ive been seeing so many gfriend reactions recently 😭

[@yeahrightlol1]

Its also great you could check out their dance practice as well.

[@임마머]

여자친구 노래는 지금 들어도 너무좋지. 청순 그자체!!

Amo las notas altas de sunrise, es una locura

[@liluda9636]

Aghhh i miss them soo muchh,this four songzz are ma best songzzzz

[@aiai_cha2817]

Watching this reaction make me urge to cry🥺.. missing them sm

[@itsuuke]

I really missed watching your GOT7 videos and when I saw you reacting to GFRIEND from your previous GFRIEND reaction, I was like OMG FINALLY I CAN WATCH HIS REACTIONS AGAINNN but really im happy you enjoyed theseee. cant wait for your dance practice reaction, theyre amazing

[@flowerbuds6]

gfriend lore, a tale of the glass bead: high school girlfriends - possessed glass bead powers - envying one another - separated - eunha changed the fate so many times - met again and became Mago/witches

[@beniez.kai12]

There's something special about time for the moon night.

[@lilsemanas]

sunrise gives me chills every single time

[@kendra4932]

Bro the apple dance practice is like heaven on earth it’s sooo good. Love your videos!!

[@Kormitt]

Rewatching these mv's with you was such a nostalgia trip! Reminded me of a simpler kpop time 😌

[@HeyItsMikaylaa]

It's not super clear but Navillera mv is actually where their story takes the first turn. Instead of it all being just happy yeyy besties (some of it still is) they're fighting and being a bit shady there. Also Eunha and Yerin are gay :)

[@mikanlin]

Another thing that I like about GFriend's song is because most of their songs sound like anime songs and I fell in love with TFTMN so much! I'm glad you liked it, too! ✨

[@peterhugo2078]

The snow in the music video in Rough referred to the album it was from as it was called Snowflake.

[@Angel-oj4zs]

The member's name that seemed to strike you the most is Yuju she is the Main vocal and one of the top in the industry imo

[@LennonB95]

Omg I feel so emotional all the video 🥲

[@somebuddy.]

23:10 i strongly recommend u to listen to the instrumental version of Sunrise. The strings sessions in this song are absolutely a masterpiece, esp in the chorus part. Also u said that u love piano, then u gotta be check out their other title track called 'Summer rain' ;)

[@somebuddy.]

Sunrise (inst ver.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6OWm5SZbdZpmZIsi=gi3_WAjFb7j4pSTo

[@Akemi_Rio]

5:08 I'm surprised that he caught on that crossroads

[@metwa9684]

I was sad there was no rough on the last video because Glass bead, Me gustas tu & Rough were their trilogy but we got Rough, Navillera & TFTMN back to back! Their songs with most wins. Hoping for their dance practices/2x speed dance

[@somebuddy.]

Thankyou for doing another gfriend reaction!

[@Minmarky]

there's only a few songs that can make me choke up over and over again, no matter how old the song is or how often I've listened to it. Rough, Time for the Moon Night and Ditto by New Jeans are songs I hold close to my heart. They make me tear up but at the same time give me this feeling...its not nostalgia but similar. I love Gfriend so much. I will cherish their discography forever!

[@gisellekazakhgf]

YOOOOI i was waiting for that , tysm 😔🔥🔥🔥

[@mimbo15116]

1:29 'Rough' is part and also the last chapter of gfriend's school trilogy theme along with glass bead and me gustas tu

[@crispychicken9298]

I'm glad you like them. I'm never getting tired of listening to these songs 😊

[@gfriendxviviz6078]

Love GFRIEND forever !!🥰🥰😍
