The most amazing thing is this is an entirely VIRTUAL K-Pop group, made of four League of Legends champions, voiced by real singers, made for the World Championship and to sell new skins for the characters, and ended up with an album, several videos, and a gold record.
I don't even like this genre of music but this song is so catchy it disturbs me. Like it was made in a lab to prey on the vibrations of my brain cells.
Didnt realize you had another channel. Riot Games/League of Legends has absolutely killer music. They have KDA which is a Kpop group, they have True Damage which is hip hop/pop, and they have Pentakill which is a metal band, kinda like Dragonforce. They haso have a number of songs that arent based in any of their groups like "Pheonix," "Awaken," and "Burn it all down"
The production value on this is through the roof. As good or better than some of the biggest names in music. The drums are ridiculously busy down there with multiple beats going on both filling out and backing each other. The singers frequently pop in an octave higher for the last work of a phrase to give a nice doubling of the sound for the main singer. The lyrics are all about how you'll never be as good as them, never get where they are. The camera, the entire time, every single shot, has them center frame, the focus, and moves away from them. Never getting to them. Reinforcing the lyrics visually.
Heebie Jibbie. ! Im so happy you listened to this. The KDA ep invaded my life last year and i was just enamored. Not one person i knew could appreciate how well this was assembled and mixed and performed. And ive Often twondered would would Jeebz feel hearing this ever since finding your other channel. So to see you smile along with each note fills my soul joyful. VILLAIN. Villain. vILLAIN villAin is a masterpiece. An AKG MUST!!!
Feel free to listen to each of the Worlds songs for League of Legends. There are one to two every year for season and worlds tournament, very high production and quality.
I can't recommend checking out (G)I-dle's music enough, as well. The one rapping in this is their leader, Soyeon, and most of (G)I-dle (pronounced Idol or Idle)'s tracks are written and produced by her. If you're interested, La Ta Ta is the group's debut song. Lion is an amazing showcase of all the good stuff, and Tomboy is their most recent comeback.
This might not be the place for it but this first K/DA song, in my mind, is the essential K/DA song. *THE* K/DA song. It has spunk. Gorgeous harmonics. An absolutely catchy tune with the attitude you’d expect from an underground artist trying to carve a path to success for themselves. Wonderful analysis as well :D
I believe you might be very interested in what Stray Kids are doing, they're a k-pop boy group that produce most of their songs themselves, and they are known for their "noisy" style :)
This was an absolute delight to watch! It's not strictly anime or game-related, but I'd love to hear what you think of the song REVERSUS by ELECTROCUTICA. ELECTROCUTICA is a music project started by Vocaloid producer Treow, and its sound is really something indescribable-but I think, based on your enjoyment of POP/STARS and KICKBACK, you might enjoy it!
I was happy to find your other channel, originally, as I binged a part of my musical history with you. I never expected to find you reacting to all sorts of video game and anime music that I love!
I'm having flashbacks to failing this song on Beat Saber for about 30 minutes until I got exhausted, having never played the game before while over at a friend's house
I don't even like league but I love this song. Look up "the cold below" from the warframe ost. It's best described as a space shanty. And even then there's a lot of warframe music. You should do a couple videos.
There are some AMAZING LoL musical pieces you should react to. The Jhin champion theme, Volibear champion theme, Light and Shadow and more of K/DA are all ones I 10/10 recommend. Love your content!
You should watch the Arcane (TV show made by Riot; Riot makes LoL) Documentation on the LoL channel. Riot has full-time employees just for everything music. Opposed to just hire an orchestra for a month and get the soundtrack.
If you liked this you should also check out Pentakill by the same company that take place in the same game. I recommend Mortal Reminder and it's more rock based that I'd think you'd like.
I would love to see you check out the group (G)I-DLE (pronounced, idle - a play on the word idol really). It's an an all girl Kpop group, with Soyeon and Miyeon (two of the girls in K/DA). Soyeon writes, raps, sings and produces their work and "Lion" or "Oh My God" are just structured so beautifully.
Would love to see your reaction to DREAMCATCHER - DEJA VU not only a beautifully arranged song but the music video is stunning as well. 🙏🙏OH It was created for the videogame KINGS RAID if that'll persuade you any more 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
totally different from this but check out Mid Air Thief - White Room. He’s a korean artist and one of the most uniquie guitarists and producers I’ve ever heard.
That first pause being right between Ahri's thighs. Unironically fitting for how sexualized some champions are. The accidentality of the pause just completely had me. The way your eyes go back and double check like "wait" and everything. What a funny timing man. Alright, enough of my dumbass.
if you're interested in rock at all DREAMCATCHER does some really good blending of genres. They're the only exciting thing happening in music rn. BOCA would be a good start.
Great reaction! This song was made to promote skins in the game, and the characters in the video are characters in the game wearing the skins. They also have another song called “more” that I recommend you also check out!
Suggestions: Video Games: ----------- *To zanarkand* by Nobuo Uematsu (source: Final Fantasy X) - beautiful piano piece *Simple and Clean* by Hikaru Utada (source: Kingdom Hearts) - j-pop (Japanese pop) note: there are both Japanese and English versions as well as an orchestral arrangement called "Hikari (simple and clean)" *Icarus* by Michael McCann (source: Deus Ex: Human Revolution by Canadian studio) - building of synths, percussion, & vocals as song progresses *Morrowind* theme, *Oblivion* theme, *Skyrim* theme by Jeremy Soule (source: Elder Scrolls series) - though these are 3 separate games in a series I would recommend listening to all 3 themes in one video, as they could be seen as 3 separate movements of one piece of music Anime: ----------- *Making cyborg* by Kenji Kawai (source: ghost in the shell) - iconic opening theme song, minimalistic percussion with haunting vocals *Rise* by Origa (source: ghost in the shell) *Tank!* by Yoko Kanno (prfm by: seatbelts) (source: cowboy bebop) - iconic opening theme song, jazz piece *Space lion* by Yoko Kanno (prfm by: seatbelts)(source: cowboy bebop) - sax piece *The Real Folk Blues* by Yoko Kanno (prfm by: seatbelts) (source: cowboy bebop) *Gurenge* by LiSA (source: Demon Slayer) - recent iconic opening theme song, rock/j-pop genre *God knows...* sung by Aya Hirano (source: The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya) - iconic anime song, rock *Guren No Yumiya* by Linked Horizon (source: Attack on Titan) - iconic opening theme song, considered definitive epic into *A Cruel Angel’s Thesis* by Yoko Takahashi (source: Neon Genesis Evangelion) - iconic opening theme, usually among the top of iconic anime song lists, if not THE top, but I've always been "meh" about it
Riot has been pumping out bangers for a minute - only thing i never liked is the unholy marriage of languages in a song. Call me old fashioned but i prefer english OR korean (i think) not both :p
if you're looking for more great anime music I recommend listening to Kevin Penkin. He's an Australian composer that has made some iconic anime OSTs, check out "Hanazeve Caradhina" from the Made in Abyss OST
League of Legends is interesting because they take characters from the game and make music groups out of them. KDA is their K-Pop band. League puts out a lot of music that is worth checking out. A lot of their music is not in the game at all, but is more of an advertisement or just supplemental material for the game's world. They have put out a whole EDM album. Another of their groups is their metal band "Pentakill" that has multiple albums. I recommend checking out Lightbringer or Deathfire Grasp from their first album first.
If YT algorythm have brought me here for K/DA that means you will soon discover Blackpink. Both groups have songs with incredible sound production, especially in lower register. K/DA is a virtual groups created to promote the game whereas Blackpink is very real and quite a big deal in recent days. 4 ladies just performed on VMA their new song "Pink Venom" and won 2 awards (member Lisa won Best K-Pop for her solo “LALISA” and as a group for Best Metaverse Performance for their PUBG collaboration “Ready For Love"). "Pink Venom" is still trending so I strongly recommend to watch music video for this song. 🖤🎧💗
awesome reaction! there is a kpop song by TWICE called "go hard" witch has a sort of similar low end as this track. it's not game music but i consider it to be in the same genre as this track. my fav TWICE song is "i can't stop me"
Hello! A while back I was listening to a song which immediately reminded me of your reactions! The song seems to have used some classical pieces so I really wanna know what you think of it. It's called 'Feel My Rhythm' by Red Velvet. I saw another youtube channel with classical musicians react to it and I learnt that they sampled one of Bach's piece. The music video is also filled with many different references to historic artworks. Looking forward to your reaction to it!
Another amazing League of Legends song: RISE (ft. The Glitch Mob, Mako, and The Word Alive) | Worlds 2018 - League of Legends ruclips.net/video/fB8TyLTD7EE/видео.html
I don't know if you've already listened to it. But Warframe has quite a few amazing songs. Some examples are: This is What You Are. For Narmar. We All Lift Together.
You should check out (G)I-dle songs, two of their members were in k/da (the rapper Soyeon and Miyeon was the girl with the tail) (G)I-dle are comoletely self made Group, they write, compose and producent their own songs, they also making the choreography for these songs
the joke is riot (the makers of league of legends) is a music company that made a video game to promote their music. funny thing is when you listen to their music you go "yep thats right". if you go down the rabbit hole of league music it is fun and long. oh last thing they dont have one sound. they have 3 virtual groups, one rock/metal, one kpop (here kda) and one hip hop and thats not all they colab with artist from all over the world so yea have fun.
Great reaction. New subscriber here :D If you like the creativity in this, than you like K-Pop (Korean Pop, which is all the craze these days). ;) You may be familiar with names like Blackpink (my personal favorite) or BTS? Be warned: It is an addicting endless rabbit hole, if you decide to go down that road with lots of crazy discoveries regarding composing music. Popstars and its MV is composed, produced and structured like a K-Pop Title Track and KDA is supposed to be a "virtual K-Pop group" (having four of the characters from the game as "group members"). Two of the vocalists voicing these characters here (including the rapper) are from the famous K-Pop Group "(G)I-DLE". Jaira Burns and Madison Beer are American singers. Riot Games, the developer for the game, is from the US but the game is also huge in Asia. This track was produced for the League Of Legends World Championship 2019 (?) which took place in Seoul. There is a nice live performance for this one from the opening of that event and a behind the scenes video. If you want to better understand what K-Pop is and how this industry works, I would recommend to give the Netflix documentation "Light Up The Sky" a go. It's about Blackpink, but it also is a great introduction into K-Pop and you get some insight in how these songs come to be (including hearing the thoughts of the producer and getting a glimpse into the work in the studio).
it would be amazing if you listen to the songs of one of the singers of this song, (G)I-DLE is a korean artist but the difference of this group is that most women in this genre don't write, but they do, so it's a good recommendation for react
If you love Metal/Rock music you should definetly check Pentakill (also made by League of Legends) they got only 1 music video but they got 3 albums and last album is a banger. Here is the list of all songs they made; ruclips.net/p/PLJP5_qSxMbkKqqBdEbSsaddwjKGcJ_pvv Music video one; ruclips.net/video/5-mT9D4fdgQ/видео.html

you just summarised it way better than I ever did before, trying to name it all.
Marketing is a magical thing isn't it? I'd say this is another case of sex sells.
I don't even like this genre of music but this song is so catchy it disturbs me. Like it was made in a lab to prey on the vibrations of my brain cells.
Didnt realize you had another channel.
Riot Games/League of Legends has absolutely killer music.
They have KDA which is a Kpop group, they have True Damage which is hip hop/pop, and they have Pentakill which is a metal band, kinda like Dragonforce.
They haso have a number of songs that arent based in any of their groups like "Pheonix," "Awaken," and "Burn it all down"
This song was very catchy but most LoL songs are meh.
"Apotheosis" from a game called Journey would make for a great breakdown. It was the first game ever to have its OST nominated for a Grammy.
The production value on this is through the roof. As good or better than some of the biggest names in music. The drums are ridiculously busy down there with multiple beats going on both filling out and backing each other. The singers frequently pop in an octave higher for the last work of a phrase to give a nice doubling of the sound for the main singer. The lyrics are all about how you'll never be as good as them, never get where they are. The camera, the entire time, every single shot, has them center frame, the focus, and moves away from them. Never getting to them. Reinforcing the lyrics visually.
League Of Legends also has metal music. They have another fictional band/group called Pentakill and they currently have 3 albums. :)
That pause placement tho. At 3:36. It was clearly an accidental freeze frame but still, dude.
Heebie Jibbie. ! Im so happy you listened to this. The KDA ep invaded my life last year and i was just enamored.
Not one person i knew could appreciate how well this was assembled and mixed and performed. And ive Often twondered would would Jeebz feel hearing this ever since finding your other channel. So to see you smile along with each note fills my soul joyful.
VILLAIN. Villain. vILLAIN villAin
is a masterpiece. An AKG MUST!!!
There's a new album btw and a whole lot of their songs. All bangers and all EXTREMELY unique! Do em all! mini series!
Your enthusiasm is infectious, I hope to keep my enthusiasm like you
Feel free to listen to each of the Worlds songs for League of Legends. There are one to two every year for season and worlds tournament, very high production and quality.
This video got me jamming to this song for the 500th time, thank you
light and shadow has some unbelievable music in it..i would recommend that one for sure....
I really like your review :) I recommend if u like metal to react to the "Pentakill" songs , created by League as well.
I just discovered your channel and I gotta say, keep it up. I'm enjoying seeing how you bring another dimension to the music I'm familiar with
The name, K/DA is a reference to "kills, deaths, and assists" which is a common piece of statistics for video games.
For a specific genre of videogames. You can be a gamer jumping through multiple genres and never see any reference to KDA.
I can't recommend checking out (G)I-dle's music enough, as well. The one rapping in this is their leader, Soyeon, and most of (G)I-dle (pronounced Idol or Idle)'s tracks are written and produced by her. If you're interested, La Ta Ta is the group's debut song. Lion is an amazing showcase of all the good stuff, and Tomboy is their most recent comeback.

Would absolutely love to hear this man's take on the entire Journey and/or Hollow Knight score.

Look up "the cold below" from the warframe ost. It's best described as a space shanty. And even then there's a lot of warframe music. You should do a couple videos.
i LIKE UR REACTION.... U DONT TALK MUCH WHEN THE SONG IS PLAYING 👍
more KDA please!
You may also want to check their metal band Pentakill :))
There are some AMAZING LoL musical pieces you should react to. The Jhin champion theme, Volibear champion theme, Light and Shadow and more of K/DA are all ones I 10/10 recommend. Love your content!
Try Bury the light from Devil May Cry, the song feels insane for a video game song
You should watch the Arcane (TV show made by Riot; Riot makes LoL) Documentation on the LoL channel. Riot has full-time employees just for everything music. Opposed to just hire an orchestra for a month and get the soundtrack.

I'd love to see you react to KDA Villain
Launrdomat scene bridge section: are those synths in the background Junos? I'm trying to learn my synth tones.
totally different from this but check out Mid Air Thief - White Room. He’s a korean artist and one of the most uniquie guitarists and producers I’ve ever heard.

As I watched this I was like "Oh wait til he gets to the good part" and that's exactly where you stopped it haha, brilliant.
If you haven't reacted to the Arcane soundtrack, I would love to see that!
Check out all of the K/DA videos. And then do yourself a favor and check out ALL of (G)-Idle. You will NOT be disappointed.
You should check out (G)I-dle songs, two of their members were in k/da (the rapper Soyeon and Miyeon was the girl with the tail) (G)I-dle are comoletely self made Group, they write, compose and producent their own songs, they also making the choreography for these songs
Can you please react to K/DA Baddest you will absolutely love it
