JAPANESE REACTING to Red Velvet レッドベルベット 'WILDSIDE' MV

[@baephroditeirene2960]

This is literally Irene's era!! Her visual, vocal, dance, and rap is on fire!!!!

[@niketsinha18]

Really loving a Japanese reacting to Japanese debut of RV. The song is absolute banger, the layering of vocals on the chorus is just 🔥

[@grapeintokyo]

Oh the vocals! ♥️

[@ao1fe]

this is not their jp debut, they have 2 jp title tracks already, #cookiejar and sappy ^-^

[@niketsinha18]

@@ao1fe I think I wrote it as it was their first full album in Japanese.

[@oliviawildefan]

From what I know, Seulgi do speak japanese and Yerimie too, like fluently. They released (before Wildside) 2 mini albums in japanese too ! Cookie Jar and Sappy (I love this song !) Cookie Jar is kinda creepy but i dont think the way you want? but the sound is not so bright, bubbly !

[@grapeintokyo]

Ohhh creepy song, I have to go check!

[@Gigizzz_]

Joy is very good in japanese and her fluency that's why she gets majority lines in Japanese single

[@oliviawildefan]

@@Gigizzz_ not as a speaker. Joy does know about phonetic? idk how to say it in english but that is one thing. Seulgi has proven in lives her Japanese ( conversational, basic) and Yerim practice with her friend. About Joy, more than having lines idk

[@arielgmelo]

"i dont want this song to end", this, its all about this...

[@mcneeeeeil]

With artists like BoA, Tohoshinki, and SHINee, SM keeps their Japanese standards high to not damage their veteran artists’ legacy there. They aim to not need translators when they promote in Japan. I also like that their jp title tracks tend to be on a lower key, so you’ll hear more members’ voices than you do in the kr title tracks. SM artists tend to do darker, rock influenced songs for their jp albums not just brighter pop tunes. For instance, Taemin is even more dramatic and dark in his jp discography. The Bloom album is a bit more upbeat than Feel My Rhythm, but it also has a darker vibe. The track Marionette is very classic haunting Red Velvet sound.

[@grapeintokyo]

Yea after filming I thought of this! They have all the artists who are so fluent with Japanese. Legacy. Ppl recommend the albums so I’ll make sure to go check 😉

[@DarkFoncho]

Also SNSD has great Japanese albums and some of their songs are a little dark.

[@pinkgangsta6157]

You forget SNSD Japanese album, their ballad is no joke

[@vkskms]

@@DarkFoncho snsd japanese discography is imo even better than their korean discography!

[@fairytalesrv7223]

Their Japanese album "Bloom" was released some days ago. It's always so worthy listen their whole albums. They're the b-sides masters for a reason. From Feel My Rhythm there's In My Dreams, Beg for Me, Bamboleo, Rainbow Halo, Good Bad Ugly. My advice, give them a try, you never know what you'll get from them.

[@yukitochan21]

At this point you just have to accept, your Blood is Pink. No one likes SM as a company, but my gods do they put out hit concept and song time after time. NCT, Red Velvet, Aespa, just all of their artists cannot be stopped these days. Always a pleasure to see your reactions.

[@grapeintokyo]

Thank you so much for the comment and yea I do agree with you. TIME AFTER TIME ❤️‍🔥

[@loveitftw]

Pink blood 💖 Ed: I honestly don't have any problem with the company. From what I know, nothing really bad or whatever has happened for a good minute now. I refuse to judge anyone based on now irrelevant issues from 10+ years ago. It's also just a company, I see no point in hating on everyone that works there if *someone* is an asshole. That's all I have to say about that topic, I think it's all in good time we let shit go now, move on and see what it is today. But people can think whatever they want. That was just my thoughts on it. 😶

[@pinkgangsta6157]

Your blood is pink 😂

[@yukitochan21]

@@loveitftw never trust a kpop company, they are a multi-million dollar corporation, they will always put themselves above their artists and it’s known that artists have had to MAKE SM defend them by leveraging their work in the past like with Chanyeol and Taeyeon. The situation with Lucas right now is also another obvious example of a company not defending their artist against proven-false allegations, here we are so much time later still waiting for him to return and WayV with him. So no, I have been in kpop for 10 years now, I will not be trusting any company ever at this point. It’s not about people working at a company, it’s about how the company treats its artists and workers, and all signs lead to: not that well unless they are forced to.

[@pinkbloodsquad7766]

@@yukitochan21 Yeah but you know ppl always like SM is the worst company and shit like that but honestly every company is the same, they are doing bussiness, big one, for SM to stand still on top place like that for almost 20 years isn't easy, ofc the company's benefit would come first. But I still think SM is a decent company base on a lot of their artist still stay with them for a long time unlike other from gen 2nd-3rd they already left company

[@georgef286]

Being talented as they are, Red Velvet performances are immaculate. Take a look at the Feel My Rhyrhm performance video 🤗. They will execute any concept to perfection. They are also known as the B-side queens. The non skip albums are incredible. They get to flex their vocals and even more experimentation.

[@grapeintokyo]

FMR performance video was on another level I must say.

[@caseya1480]

This is one of my fave RV songs of all time. Now that winter is leaving us and spring weather comes, I have been listening to the song on drives with windows down! The music video is amazing too.

[@grapeintokyo]

Must be so good listen to this while driving!

[@lootee4139]

I confirmed my love for RV after a week of listening to Wildside, then I listened to their discography. Their B-sides are so satisfying "Sunny Side Up" is an onpoint hit. Now I'm obsessed with their Japanese B-side "Marionette"

[@violetchemistry_]

oh yes their b-sides are superb

[@amorella02]

Welcome to the fandom, you made the right decision! HAHAHAHA Check out "In & Out", I think you'll like it

[@lootee4139]

@@amorella02 TYSM♥! That song has a cute concept too! There's something about their choruses that seems iconic and classy, like you've been missing out a lot if you haven't listened to them. My other instant hits are: "Parade" "Oh Boy" "Beg For Me" I think this will go on when I review everything again. I so love them. I wanna see them live. huhu.

[@pinkgangsta6157]

I love all of their velvet song soooo much

[@ismailhakim255]

Try check out their old release body talk .. just another banger

[@mrchow8025]

That’s the thing with sm they train their artists very well, even with languages everyone usually trilingual at least, korean, Chinese, Japanese & English are all taught, it’s how sm dominated Asian market back in 2nd gen.

[@kang_baechu6191]

Marionette snatched the 1st rank for me from their Japanese album. Pls check it out as well. Their B-sides are also fire 🥰💕

[@Yennipa]

Thank you for your reaction!♥ Feel My Rhythm is great in it's own way artistic way, but Wildside is 🔥🔥🔥

[@grapeintokyo]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@elifengin]

A couple hours later feel my rhythm, having this was like... DUDE. And seeing you with this calmly hyped reaction made me realize I'm not the only one out there, yes, we are right😌

[@grapeintokyo]

Calmly hyped 😂

[@riffgroove]

Red Velvet already have a couple of Japanese mini-albums under their belt. From what I read somewhere, Seulgi and Yeri are almost fluent.

[@haniyaya1026]

seulgi is fluent in japanese actually

[@thezircadia]

"I'm screaming inside." Me every time I hear this or watch this video. It's so much!

[@mbae123]

If you also listen to their Bad Boy English vers, their english pronunciation is also very good and smooth.

[@stupid_bingbing_sassyrevel222]

Let me explain a little.. WILDSIDE took even us Luvies by surprise we expected FMR b on the Velvet side Bloom on the Red but a usuall with RV we got clowned!!, as you said the others japanese releases are More cheerfull even when with RV nothing Is as cut as It seems, Cookies Jar, Sappy and Rookie are others tittle tracks japanese releases, but each Is very different for each others all in the "Red" side..Bloom álbum Is a repackage from all and 6 new songs Wich by the way are Cheff kiss Marionette and Snap Snap are reallly good really RV...Hope you continúe checking out RV discography ITS gonna take time to get used to that corky, eerie, creepy vibes that Is their signature but at least I can say you wont get bored ever!! Ty for ir reaction.

[@grapeintokyo]

Thanks for the comment 💕

[@drisshansfreetime453]

One of their songs is Aitai-tai that sounds very JPOP. But wild side is my new favorite

[@Natasha-26]

Get ready for Red Velvet 2022 Domination❤🧡💙💚💜

[@aprilpalero4358]

I think you may want to check the whole bloom album it self. It was such a serve. My favorite are swimming pool, marionette, snap snap and color with love. Favorite supposed to be just one song but I just can't choose only one. The album is superb

[@grapeintokyo]

Haha I’ll go check 😉

[@JeyDub08]

A few non "super cheer up/bright" japanese singles from kpop groups that come to mind are Perfect World from TWICE, Gimme Gimme by NCT, and Film Out by BTS

[@bophabun6683]

their concepts for 🇯🇵 are differently from 🇰🇷 a bit darker, look mature and sexy ! maybe nowadays most of kpop ggs are girl crush that’s why Red Velvet don’t make this concept as their 🇰🇷 comeback

[@grapeintokyo]

Ohh I see interesting!

Red Velvet's other Japanese videos are "#Cookie Jar" and "Sappy"

react to their japanese album please!

If you liked Wildside listen to their B-Side on the Japanese Album called Snap Snap

[@ianabrum]

I don't know if you're interested in k-rock but if you're open to it, I advise you to go listen to FT Island. Their songs are fantastic and mostly in Japanese (even though they are a Korean band). I love them completely and I consider myself a primadonna. As also reveluv.

[@jameoww]

I much prefered this to Feel My Rhythm

[@grapeintokyo]

Repeating both of them now, let’s see how I feel next week, I might be agreeing with you then 😂

[@pudgiibae8784]

from red (feel my rhythm) to velvet (wildside)

[@loveitftw]

Oh please can't you take a look at any of SHINee's japanese songs? I'm *very* curious about how their japanese sound now 😆 Get The Treasure comes to my mind, the MV is kind of fun. But I'm happy with anything😆 Shawol's are better at giving recommendations than me :')

[@grapeintokyo]

Oh SHINee! I’ll keep it on the list to react to!

[@deliasloan3481]

I think SM use many dark concepts for their artists in japanese songs, u have to listen all of it, cause i think they are wanna show the other side of the group when promoting in japan

[@grapeintokyo]

All of it! Haha I’m on the task 👌

[@baebae5189]

you should react the album too!!

[@grapeintokyo]

😉👌🏼

[@albedo0point39]

Go back and have a listen to Sappy. Also in Japanese, more of a ‘red’ concept, but with great vocals again.

[@sosadesiana2209]

please react to taemin's japanese discography bc i think you would like it. or just listen to the songs in the album and you'll know what i'm talking about hehe. anyways i enjoy your reaction! love the red velvet reactions ❤️

Oh I have to make a video dedicated taemin for sure 🙌🏼

[@rohanpatel767]

they put out colour of love lyrics video plz do also react to it that is the last song on the album fureaking my fave song from the album

[@pulsaltinglynx3627]

As far as I know, what most Japanese consumers want from idols is to give happiness with friendliness and warmth to viewers with a lower position and attitude rather than a chic and cool image reigning over the viewers. I think many Japanese idols have had that tendency since the success of AKB48. After a long time, it is expected that the influence of KPOP was also in Japan, but as a result, it is not known how much Japan will like this cool and intense music. I need your opinion on this. Do you think this trend of change is actually effective for Japanese viewers (the average person who has not had a tendency to like KPOP before)?

[@slowchan]

Hey, can you react to Seulgi's 28 reasons and maybe Seulgi & Irene Monster as you said you like darker concepts?

[@imjustbeme6984]

@grape RIGHHT???? IT'S GOOD ISN'T IT??? My only problem is why is this not trending harder than 'Feel My Rhythm'?? I mean this is easily a BOP track at FIRST LISTEN compared to 'FMR'. But I'm really curious if you genuinely think you could understand it at all on first listen since it's been a thing about K-pop singers trying J-pop and sometimes the sentence structures in their lyrics may seem weird to some Japanese. I'm really curious if you were able to hear their pronunciation, understand and enjoy their lyrics as a local Japanese. Also, I'm soooo disappointed you didn't react hard on the video edit during the bridge part. IT WAS SO BADASS. Like the buildup and when Yeri cut's off the red laser/string (Man, I want to know too if you liked that symbolism cause red strings are a thing in Japan, right?).
