As a note. (with no spoilers). This show started out fairly anemic in Japan. For about a week and a half. This show along with a weekly "preview" from NHK were they highlighted 3 of the contestants. Nina at the end being one of the ones being highlighted on NHK news, made the show explode. Went from very little talked about to being the top show in Japan Hulu and made all the girls a national phenomenon in two weeks. Even the girls that didn't make it after the first round became national icons in Japan. The show was first broadcast in Japan when the entire country was on lockdown so EVERYONE saw it. Other idols started praising the show with big time streamers, singers, groups all commenting how great the show ws. It was the right show, with the right contestants, presenting the right attitude, at the perfect time. It first came out at the middle of January and by middle of march was the most talked about thing in Japan. Have fun it's going to be a great ride.
Thank you!! Oh wow I had no idea this show got that big!! I hadn’t been in the community yet when it aired. That’s crazy how huge it became! Thank you for telling me!! I’m excited to watch it!!
@@StayMultiverse Sorry to be THAT person, I'm a gingaaaantic fan of NiziU but this person is really overselling it a bit.. The girls that didn't make it in the first round did not become "national icons" and it was not the "top show in Japan". It was popular but I think this person is just a bit excited you're watching it hehe! As am I, looking forward to the next one!!
P.S. after watching: If you gonna upload nizi project videos once per week, at least react to full episodes (example, part 1 #1-1 and 1-2 combined), otherwise it'll take literally 40 weeks. A full episodes is under 50 minutes (most of the time), so in theory you could even combine 2 episodes into one video like you did with A2K.
Ahhhh okay yea that’s probably a good plan. I’ll finish the next half of this episode and then start combining them. Thank you for letting me know!! 🫶🏻
こんにちは、マギー😊💓 I was watching Nizi project and fell for kpop music(especially Twice) after watching this show. Now I am watching Nizi project 2 and started fall for Stray kids. Everything goes as JYP intended😂
Hello! ❤️ Aww I love that! I’m excited to get to know Niziu!! Haha JYP is good at making you fall in love with their music and their groups! At this point I listen to Stray Kids, Twice, Itzy, NMIXX, Xdinary Heroes, and VCHA. They all have good music ☺️
I remember watching NPS1 and getting introduced to ITZY, 2PM and Miss A (Already knew TWICE, watched the show coz Sana guested). NPS2 brought in STRAYKIDZ - now Backdoor, God's Menu and My Pace etc are in my playlist.
Great choice. I think between this, Sixteen, and A2K, I enjoyed this one the most in the organic way that was actually intended (I think the other two have unintended meta strengths, though). Compared to A2K, the talent pool is richer and has a stronger baseline (in A2K, I kept wondering if there was enough there to build a group with actual cohesive star power, and without really glaring weaknesses) and the feedback is a little less questionable and sugar-coated, but unlike Sixteen, it never feels staged/scripted, cruel, or downright unethical. Some of the performances and just the general drive on display also floored me and felt memorable in a way that I never felt from the other two shows, personally. The personal stories are probably a little cooler, too.
I’ve honestly heard so many good things about this series so I’m excited to see it. I haven’t seen Sixteen but the Stray Kids survival show also felt similar to what you’re describing. I’m very much looking forward to seeing how the performances go and meeting all of the girls!
glad to see you're doing this series. They originallly aired these on hulu but when it got to YT, each episode got split into 2 so you get the abrupt endings. so 1-1 and 1-2 make up the first episode.
ohh didn’t know that!! but yes, great to let Maggie know cuz i realised that she’ll probably take 10 months to finish nizi project if she go by half episodes 😢
We’re doing this together Maggie!!! I’ve never seen this either and I don’t know who’s in the final group so we’re both going in blind to this one. I can’t wait to watch, get attached, and see who’s in the final group!
참고로, RIO가 지역 오디션에서 춘 춤은 미리 준비되지 않은 free-dance였다고 합니다. 예선이 끝나고 며칠 후 본선 일정이 따로 존재하는 줄 알고 천천히 본선을 준비하려고 했는데, 1차 예선 직후 바로 당일에 JYP 앞에서 최종 심사를 받는다는 사실을 그제서야 알게 된 것입니다.
I watched your A2K reactions, and now I will watch Nizi Project Season 1 again, with you. I think this will be my 4th ot 5th time. Its absolutely worth it!
Desde que vi NIZI PROJECT 1 en 2020, NINA fue mi eleccion! me atrajo a ver todo el programa, me encanta su voz y su apariencia mitad japonesa, es muy talentosa!
I believe I only saw the first 1-3 episodes (can't remember well), but now that I'm rewatching it with you, I kinda remember Nina. And yeah, she does strike me as a Kendall type--the half Asian, good at expressions. 😃
i've watched this from the very beginning ! ❤❤❤ the ups and downs of the contestants until the final picking of member .. you'll surely love the whole series ..
@@StayMultiverse Actually all of the debut lineup appeared in God's Menu & Back Door MV haha but it's kinda not the main focus so unless you're actually paying attention then only you'll notice, just like how bangchan appeared in TWICE's Like Ooh Ahh MV when he was still a trainee.
Love Nizi Project. Seen it sooooo many times now. If you've only seen A2K then be prepared for much harsher comments by JYP in this show. The 1st part of the show is pretty raw with some good performances, but it gets a lot better in part 2 when they get more time to prepare and professional training.
I’m excited to go through it! I’ve heard he’s a lot more harsh in this one.. I’ll try to be ready. I know I can be a bit sensitive 😅 But I’m excited to see their journey!!
so exited! After reacting to my ult group Ateez, you are reacting to my fav girl group survival show! Just be prepared he is way more hard on the girls here then he was in A1K.. Also in all of the episodes in part 1 and 2 the performances are cut (for example here, Nina's audition was shortened), there are full versions available on RUclips if you are ever interested in seeing some of them fully :)) All of the participants are doing both - singing and dancing, they just don't always show it. Japan is the second biggest music market in the world, in comparison to it, the Korean one is waaay smaller. The group is really popular now, only this year they've sold 550k concert tickets without even going out of Japan! They are having their Korean cb at the end of the month and will be having Korean activities on shows etc which will be great as they'll grow more outside of Japan!
Ahh I’ve heard he’s tough on them.. I have a feeling I’m gonna have some hurt feelings along the way. Ahhhh I was wondering why auditions seemed so short, thank you for letting me know!! Japan does have a huge music market! And extremely dedicated fans!! I’m excited for Niziu making their Korean debut!! I won’t watch till I’ve gone through the show but I’m cheering for them!!
This is THE Nizi to watch. It is the best JYP talent show for me. And I’ve watched all. The eventual group is a very special one. As we already know from JYP projects, we do not have to be concerned with the technicalities at all during the regional audition stage. The true value is in witnessing their improvements and transformation under a very well oiled system. Also, it is often not those who are technically good right from the start who will excel eventually. JYP continually stresses on 2 things - trajectory and character. An excellent example is Gina from A2K - she is good, but doesn’t have much headroom to change or improvement - or rather, she didn’t improve much throughout. So in terms of trajectory, she has hit a wall and has fallen behind the others eventually. As for character, it’s debatable but it will 100% be the reason for Christina for me. Jyp likes her, but once the strong feedback from trainers and staff came in, it was so bad that he had to cut her out. And from my observations even during regional audition stage, I have reasons to agree. She was also the one I predicted to get the boot in the last round (though Gina was a real surprise)
It seems this is an incredibly popular show, so many people have said good things about it! I’m really excited to see their growth and progress! Ohh I love that! I love it when someone succeeds through hard work and dedication. I understand what you mean. Growth and potential for growth is very important, as is character.
Yes this is the priority for JYP in particular. Please continue to react to Nizi season 1. I will love to journey with you again. Yes no spoilers!!! @@StayMultiverse
I'm watching your reaction to A2K which I had already seen, just because I like what you have to say, but I haven't seen the Nizi Project so I'll be watching along. Good stuff. Yeah you're so right that NIna reminds me of Kendall.
There's a participant here who didn't make it & is still chasing her dream going on multiple survival shows, failed again (the one that formed kep1er) but currently in yet another survival show ("The Girls" which is a produce 101 series but Japan version), I hope the luck is on her side this time so she can finally debut. She's talented & have been improving well since, she's also been going in & out of kpop companies training with successful idols like the members of Lesserafim, even almost debuted in newjeans. She's still young but I guess these days the preference is kids around under 17 sadly. There's been issues going around how trainees worried they can't debut or no companies would want them bcs they're growing older, but like why must a 20 years old, hell even 25 years old feel that way, you're still in your early adult era, you should have a lot of opportunities. So I'm really rooting for her, it's just very inspiring to see her hard work & passion.
Aww I hope she makes it!! It know it’s not easy trying to debut… I understand what you mean. I’m 30, which is considered very old in that industry, but I don’t even feel that old..
Idk if you ever saw how many episodes there are (when the RUclips version splits episodes in half) but with one reaction a week you’re going to be here for 40 weeks… ummm anyway (I won’t spoil) but I think this show is a bit more in your face obvious than A2K as to who will make it so honestly if the plan is to go for 40 weeks you may as well spoil yourself haha. There’s technically 10 episodes per part (season 1 part 1 = Japan and part 2 = Korea), but on RUclips they’re in split in two so that’s 20 episodes per part, 40 total
Perfect timing cause their Korean debut is coming at the end of the month 😄
I saw that!! I can’t wait to hear it!!
The girl at the end, Nina, is a big Stay btw!
Aww cool, I love that!!
매기❤❤ 니지프로 시즌1 리액션 해주셔서 감사해요 너무 기다렸어요..😍😍
기다려주셔서 감사해요~~ ☺️ ❤️

this is gonna be far more emotional than A2k, r u sure that u r ready for this? 😯
Probably not 😅
I’ll probably cry a lot..
Yeah, this show is an endless torrent of tears (both happy and sad).

JYP is much more strict in NiziPro S1 btw, so get ready seeing the girls cry most of the time
Yes she so strict in NiziPros1 ..
Ahh ok.. looks like I’ll be crying along with them.
FR, he even commented on Riria's weight one time.
jyp는 표현력을 실력만큼이나 중요하게 생각해왔단것을 알수 있네요
네 맞아요!
Ooohhh just right on time since niziu is going to have their korean debut by october 30! 🌈❣️
Oh I saw that!! I’m excited for them!! ❤️
I believe nina's Audition went viral in japan and even kpop fans knew about her
Ahhh ok! I can see why!

Aw yay thank you!!

Hello!! Thank you for subscribing!!
I’m excited to to watch their journey to becoming Niziu!! ❤️
I am so happy you're starting your Nizi Project journey! I hope you have fun watching/reacting to the girls so many of them have so much talent.

Aww thanks for watching with me!! Im really excited to go through it!! ☺️
Nina는 KG를 닮았습니다.
정확히 말하면....A2K에서 KG를 보면서 Nina 닮은 참가자가 나왔다고 생각했습니다.
보컬만으로 데뷔시키고 싶은 참가자가 댄스에서 얼마만큼 성장할 수 있을지...
그런 관점으로 봤을 때 KG가 정말 대단하다고 느꼈습니다.
오 그래요? 잘 보겠습니다 ^^

Aww thank you!! 😆
You’re a real one 👊
@@StayMultiverse I also just subscribed to not miss the future installments. 😎
A lot of the songs in the NIZI project were very popular in Japan, so there were a lot of songs that I didn't know as Koreans
YAAAY, Finally! Really excited😊
also, as a stay, you've seen some of them in SKZ mvs already
