YUTA ユウタ 'Off The Mask' MV and Prisoner reaction

[@sansoul_]

Still mad at SM for not even promoting him and he worked hard

[@itaintsaraah]

Why they didnt promote him?

[@neviemy]

Because he is japanese and SM is a korean company who only wants their korean idols to be successful, whenever they see a foreigner idol with a lot of talent and potential they try to hide him so he will not overshadow their korean artists​@itaintsaraah

[@dennnver]

im pretty sure he is promoting like a japanese artist, thats why it’s different. He topped the charts

[@4r4n3lm4l74]

@@itaintsaraah Yuta releasing a Japanese album, so the production and promotion are mostly under Avex Trax responsibility. SM only a kind of secondary promotion platform. but yeah, i agree with fans' complaint. the promotion should've been better. Yuta still deserves better.

[@ohbitnabi]

SM Doesn't like it when their foreigner artists are more talented than their koreans ​@itaintsaraah

[@gaetan3107]

I'm shocked he actually wrote, composed and arranged the song

[@maryaz3859]

PLUS 5 OTHER SONGS IN THE ALBUM ❤‍🔥

私が言いたいことを貴女達が全部言ってくれて嬉しい💕 YUTA は素晴らしい声を持っているのに　平等に機会を与えられなかった それは現在も続いている 昨日日本の福岡で行われたYUTAのコンサートは とても素晴らしかったし彼の歌もパフォーマンスも最高のもので　海外から駆け付けたファンも居た 自分の歌が歌える喜びでYUTAが幸せそうなのを見て 私も幸せだった 彼がPRISONERではなくなり解き放たれる時が来た　そう感じたし　これから自由に羽ばたいて欲しい❤

[@fumiyu2145]

I am Yutami from Japan. If we read the lyrics written by Yuta, we will understand his mind. how hard he was, how patient he was, how wise and thoughtful he was. And he never gave up. I want Yuta-kun to be rewarded, and I want him to be absolutely happy. There are many good songs on his album, please listen to them!

[@Swing0526]

[@jinmatsumoto7669]

the anger is so valid. as a yutami, I am also pissed AF.

[@DifferentlyAlike]

Its Yutami? 🥺 way too cute

[@Elef237]

​@@DifferentlyAlike yes it's our fandom name ❤

[@mona-y2s8u]

Yuta always expresses his gratitude to those around him on his own radio program. Kind, delicate, and reassuring He is truly a great personality. Everyone will fall in love with him once they know his true humanity! ! !

[@evilllpanda]

Yuta is doing a showcase tour in Japan, today is day two of the tour. Promo in Japan is supposed to be handled by Avex. What is SM doing (or not doing) in all of this, that is the question

[@Ladybugwaitingformrdarcy]

Apparently all the project is handled by Avex since it is a Japanese album... korea is not fan of rock music especially this genre (a proper Jrock album from a to z) so it might be q reason too... but it won't change the fact that it is criminal to not havea any promotions that showcase his vocals in general....

[@evilllpanda]

Interestingly enough, the mv has been posted on the SM channel, not the Avex one. In addition, a lot of the people who worked with Yuta on this album are from SM. So SM is def involved, yet promotion outside of Japan is minimal. Other than NCT Japan Twitter and NCT Instagram, I haven’t seen any promo

[@rebeckaroy6790]

@@evilllpanda That is not unusual for Japanese albums though. (Red Velvet is an example. Wild Side MV is on the SMTown channel. And it was also criminally under-promoted) We are used to companies that do everything in-house in kpop (from training, to music production, to distribution and promotion) but not everyone does it like SM, certainly not in Japan. So Avex might be in charge of part of the process but not others. I am not sure what the contract/agreement is (it varies group to group too) but it's better to compare Japanese releases to other Japanese releases than to releases entirely under SM. It's a different kettle of fish

[@pazgreatfinds]

Every single song is A NO SKIP. 1000%. It was SUPER hard to find the album on Spotify, too! They are doing this man dirty by not promoting.

[@gaetan3107]

[@nanakkuri1830]

I AGREE 💯

[@wesxvin]

he looked straight into my soul, found my 11yo self and said "emo is not a phase and def not a choice, kiddo! this is who we are!!!!!!" I'm so glad he got the chance to release an album and show more of his artistry, it was about time!!!!!!! SM needs to get it together ASAP tho they stay doing the bare minimum and my man deserves way much better

[@amandag1337]

Yuta's solo debut was everything we needed and more

[@rafiapark462]

He is actually doing a solo debut tour in japan. But the first day people could not even find his album on spotify, fans had to post his album links everywhere

that's my motherfing rockstar!!!! he's so in his element, he shines so much and I'm so proud!!!! i hope sm stops gatekeeping him after this and stars to put him in a pedestal he deserves ❤️‍🔥

[@user-gin-san1113]

reactionありがとうございます！私たちの悔しい気持ちを代弁してくれてありがとう！

[@mari-ka7873]

As a thank you for your reaction,some informations about YUTA: He said he had written 15 songs. 3 unreleased songs have already been performed at his showcase in Japan. 2nd album and concert tour are planned for next year. His movie,which finished shooting in September,will also be announced soon. When listening to the album,please pay attention to the lyrics he wrote. I felt his massage throughout this album. “Set me free” “I can fly” He has rarely expressed his complaints or pains, even on his radio show in Japan. He is so proud that when things go wrong, he acts like it’s nothing. Through the lyrics,we can feel that he has fought to be himself, and try to turn that pain into positive message.

[@Elef237]

Hes a superstar he needs to be known outside the kpop bubble, i need older audience to discover him

[@allyi9863]

[@Asya062]

I am so glad Yuta got a chance to showcase his full potential because NCT probably won’t ever have a real rock song for him to go wild

[@jazzzmine28]

He brought out my high school rock girly with his album. It's so good. I cried so many times because of the lyrics he wrote. The album is Yuta it's so good! And I'm so proud! All the neos really have taken their solos as a chance to show us them outside of 127 and it's been such a joy to experience! As a group as soloists they are so amazing.

[@tsiyaama4244]

The whole album is ❤‍🔥. He has credits on all but one song too! Yeah, I stumbled across the mv and fell in love. I stan WayV and will still support Yuta with this amazing album.

[@tanithrea]

I would love SM to explain how we got multiple appearances, teasers, album teaser, a pre release song for both doyoung and jaehyun but nothing bar a couple coming soon and it was two days before the album was on apple. The album and limited editions are all double price normal like they are making and selling out of Japan to maximise their profits when the other albums were widely available at usual prices. Years and years of SM not recognising this man for the dancer and vocalist he is as well as his lovely personality. I’m so tired of how SM do this crap. HE IS AMAZING. Album is all wow!! 2nd album in his plans with 10 songs as there is more he couldn’t release. 💖🦋

[@rebeckaroy6790]

I can't see a good reason that we haven't had more promotion although if you look at most Japanese releases, they definitely get less. (And promotion and decisions will be split differently between SM and Avex Trax but I don't know what their respective bits are) When it comes to albums, Japanese ones are always more expensive. In Japan prices for physical albums are much higher than elsewhere because there are laws about pricing and also stricter rules around streaming. And because their distribution channels work differently the export prices tend to be higher I think. (You used to be able to get versions from Taiwan that were a little cheaper...) Japanese releases always get less hype (at least outside of Japan) but I still can't understand why the promotion is sooooo low....

[@virgialcaraz9503]

I don't know him but he went so hard, I freaking approve

[@nataliah3243]

[@맨체스터트레블]

그러길바래요

[@totydely-br5014]

Yuta is Japanese and passed the SM Entertainment hearing when he was 15-16 years old and moved to Korea alone. And he's been a Kpop idol since then as a member of NCT127, but he really loves J-Rock, J-Metal, Japanese bands of look. He has always been attracted to rock and spoke openly about wanting to follow the genre to his own music. Whenever he shares songs on his radio show (Yuta at Home), there are always classic Jrock artists being recommended. Your covers are also all rock/jrock in recent years. He is a friend of his idol, Hyde, L'Arc en Ciel as well. This is his true color and self -expression he always wanted to have. He also wrote this song (in fact, 6/7 songs from the album) alone, so it's no wonder she shows her true self! His fans always play that he is different from any other idol, from his musical taste to his aesthetics. And I'm very happy that he is finally able to share this side of him with everyone without apologizing. Yuta is really a unique artist. Very happy for the strength emanating from my beautiful and talented Yuta..❤‍🔥👏👏.
