hii the context that i accidentally cut out was just that i wasn’t too familiar with loona when they were still loona so i don’t have the same emotional connection to the girls and their re-debuts as a lot of other people do but i was excited to finally get to experience their talent too! i also wanted to express how happy i was for all of these girls getting new opportunities and another chance on stage after all the shit they went through 🫶🏻

Flower Rhythm was based on Heejin Solo "Algorithm" and her intro to her album "Kehwa" I do believe, and Candy Crush was Haseul's song "Plastic Candy"

"in case for context if anybody's curios i." honestly same

"The sin of swallowing the sun" is a callback to LOONA.
Butterfly Effect has been kept in the LOONA vault for 6 years waiting for the right moment to release it.

0:13 i was curious

i genuinely love the way you pick apart these songs as you go through them, from one melomaniac to another, your ears are so keen and it's so great to watch.

Both Birth and Distress are songs voted by the fans to be added in their album! The first place of the voted song would be given a MV, which is Birth. There were originally 5 song snippets and both of those songs prevailed❤

haseul's voice makes me ASCEND

the weird vocal effect in flower rhythm is an edited version of heejin's intro to her solo mini album! (also it's just pronounced cherry) and candy crush is familiar because it's sampled from haseul's solo "plastic candy", which is in turn sampled from "plastic love" by mariya takeuchi

i still love birth so much 😭the whole vibe and scenario the song puts you on is from another world

LOVE when my reactors know what tf they're talking about <3 it's a pleasure to listen to you talk about music!

Still my personal album of the year with Virtual Angel being my current title track of the year. I think as far as post loona releases we have gotten this is the closest to being the "Loona Sound" that people know and love. They exceeded all my expectations and more with this release i couldnt be happier. I saw them on tour a month ago and it was so incredible to hear all these songs in a live setting. Im so nice to see them happy and living their best life and the same can be said for the rest of the Loona girls. It truly is an amazing time to be an orbit.

I wish I found your channel earlier, I love how you notice small details in the inst, and replay over and over to hear it  and give your honest feeling about the music

This album should win album of the year

Flower Rhythm and Candy Crush both sampled ARTMS stuff too! Flower Rhythm uses the instrumental of Heejin’s album K and the “na na na” part in the post chorus you liked was a sample from her title track Algorithm from that album. The instrumental part you liked from Candy Crush that you said felt like a sample actually was a sample from Haseul’s solo Plastic Candy. The pre releases (aside from birth) are meant to be kind of nods to the “predebut” works from ARTMS between the three members of Odd Eye Circle (Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry), Heejin, and Haseul. So i really do think that the reason the “da da da” part they used from AF1 in Air felt out of place to you (and to a lot of people when it first released) really is just due to knowing it’s from another song (and one that has a totally different vibe). After a few listens it re-contextualizes it and actually fits really well with the song I think!

ALSO the line that Jinsoul sings in the first chorus of Virtual Angel “The sin of swallowing up the sun” is a reference to her solo debut Singing in the Rain during the predebut phase of Loona back in 2017 where she sings a similar line! Honestly there’s so many Loona lyric references all over this project but that one in particular I really loved because that line has always stuck with me ever since I first heard it in her solo song.

url is actually so underrated like its SO GOOD

So glad to finally see your reaction to DALL omg! I’m glad you liked it, I feel like Modhaus consistently has some of the most interesting song productions and compositions. I think what they really excel at is setting the vibe for a song for a project, it shows in all their releases but especially in bigger projects like Assemble24 and DALL, which both have a pretty diverse range of tracks but each develop their own mood. Another personal favorite of mine is Muhan by TripleS Lovelution, it’s just so energetic, a tad bit hectic, and intensely groovy. I’m really excited to see how ARTMS and TripleS continue evolve.

i am obsessed with the way you edit your thumbails and honestly your entire aesthetic

HIIIII LOONA MENTIONED
