    I’m glad that TWICE are expanding more into the western market but I just hope that they keep their style. Even though their concept isn’t exactly cute now, it’s still upbeat and fun (Scientist, Talk That Talk) and I think that’s what makes them TWICE. I hope they don’t lose that or go straight-up girlcrush or whatever just to appeal to western listeners who like edgy concepts

      @mimininzurisana6925 probably one of the reasons why you think Korea is being passive with 3rd gen idols is because it's been quite some time since they had a comeback, bts are now in the middle of enlistment duties so no group comebacks from them for a while though their last comeback still did pretty good in korea (afaik they're doing solos now), blackpink's last comeback did pretty well in korea with pink venom peaking at #2 and bagging 7 wins while shut down peaked at #3 and bagged 10 wins, red velvet also had a good run with feel my rhythm peaking at #3 (though birthday didn't do as well as fmr, SM didn't really promote the comeback as much). there are still 3rd gen groups that are well loved and even some who are enjoying new found popularity there.

    If you haven't checked out Seize the Light, I recommend it, although the official subs are a little clunky at times but that's JYPE subs for you.
    But in it JYP talks about recognizing that Twice had something that was missing in the American market and he felt confident aggressively entering the US with their Twicelights tour in 2019 and I think they always intended on being just as aggressive in 2020 and 2021, but the pandemic derailed that. And Mina's anxiety hit regarding the pressure of nailing all the changes to the concert performances and left the tour, and then Jeongyeon's surgeries the following year... so in terms of their strategy in the west, I feel like they kind of regrouped and tweaked a little and had to put the full press on hold for a couple years. But they killed it in the US tour in 2022, they renewed contracts, and I feel like what we're about to get from Twice is the US Strategy 2.0. And I'm ready for it. Let's go!

    Since Fancy, all twice songs have been missing the sparkle for me. I miss when twice songs felt like an event, and when the song had such a big build up and an amazing pay off.
    We can see that after fancy they started using different producers, like lindgren, in this song, which has made twice really suffer in the Korean market, but I guess not so much the American one.
    I miss the first 4 years of twice. Not so much the “cuter” concept, but the style and composition of the songs. But they sell so well now, and the members have more of an influence in the music, that I feel like it will never come back.
    Also, why are these songs so short! I feel as though making the song 3:30 instead of 3:00 would really be able to flesh out the song.

      I agree with the songs being SOOOO damn short tho
      like they don't even have a "proper" bridge, and they could've had maybe a second verse or refrain that would've added atleast a few more seconds.
      Like Mina's part at the beginning of Set Me Free, I was preparing for a Fancy Jeongyeon-Momo verse where the song starts to pick up the pace but it went straight to the chorus which I dislike, it felt like the song was moving too fast.

    Personally, I still prefer Moonlight Sunrise right now. Both The Feels and Moonlight Sunrise feel like a TWICE song while appealing to Western audiences and I hope they keep that up, since it never feels like they're sacrificing the TWICE style.

    I quite like how recent groups are approaching promotions in the west, especially since the Wonder Girls in the US didn't really pan out for JYP before... he sent them over there for a few years where nothing really happened, which meant that they didn't get a foothold in the west and didn't release anything in Korea for several years either so sort of stagnated. It felt like such a waste of a really good group. I like that most groups now are sticking with a combination of Korean and English releases.

    As a hardcore once, I must admit Set Me Free sounds more like a bside off of their Formula of Love album, like F.I.L.A or something. It doesn't scream title track to me I guess I was expecting it to melt my brain on first listen like The Feels did but it's still a great song. Personally really happy to see them pursuing the western market actually. They dominated the Korean market upon debut, than rose to stardom in Japan, now appealing to the west makes sense imo, rather than immediately jumping into U.S promotions at debut like a lot of groups do now.

    Twice title tracks since Scientist have been slow growers to me but they do age like fine wine, their new singles are leaning more into the mature side which makes sense since they are all in their mid-20s now and the new sound they have is definitely what the western market will appreciate more (and the new potential fans from the asian market at that too). Now with Set Me Free, it's definitely a stronger track than Moonlight Sunrise (weirdly enough i did not like this until i started playing it again a whole month after) and I did like it at first listen, appreciate the fact that they released the english version for the title track this time because hot damn THAT VERSION HITS HARD. Now I'm lowkey hoping they'll release an english album (doesn't matter if it's a mini or a full album) because their english version songs are really good and I am ready to stream the shit out of that if it happens (for now I'll stream their new one lol).

      But that being said, opinions about music are subjective, so it might just not be your thing, and I'm not gonna try and say it's wrong, nor am I saying I think you should listen to it repeatedly to see if it grows on you. Personally, I *love* Can't Stop Me, and the only Twice TT (unintentional reference lol) that isn't really my thing is Alcohol Free.

    The song and literally everything else was amazing 👏 but the only reason I give the song a 9/10 is because I needed to hear Sanas signature high pitch voice somewhere in the song like in talk that talk, tt, cheer up, what is love, etc she makes amazing choruses with nayeon and jihyo. Everytime she goes lower, I feel like there's something missing. But either way it was still such a bop I love it.

    Kpop in general is not so popular in EU. But EU is just the another sleeping beast of the west. I'm realy happy that thay turned their heads towards the west. Maybe a big success in the US would open the eyes of European people too. Go go go Twice. We in EU didn't have the numbers yet, but we have the passion!

    my fav track is actually set me free ENG ver which neverrr happens but i feel like the song sounds & flows better in eng ?? also i seem to have the unpopular opinion that set me free is actually the best song on the album…i didnt really like the bsides except wallflower 😕 probably bc i dont like edm or rock, i wish the tracks stayed more like moonlight sunrise miami bass rnb vibes thats my shit
    i think the compositions & melody on this album are basic & clunky at times which is disappointing to me bc moonlight sunrise i felt was a very well composed & structured song
    absolutely love the styling & promo this cb tho

    JYPE has been known to play everything super safe which is why they probably didn't expand with Twice. They did so well domestically they probably didn't feel the need to risk it with a group with no English speakers. I guess the past US tour made them realize how strong their international market is and are now going for it.

      I'm a hardcore army that has a couple gg tracks inc twice on my playlists so take my opinion as you will.....but isn't it an obvious fact that TT are designed to lure people in. it is intentionally made acc to the trends in the market to interest newer audience. that's it's whole purpose, it isn't supposed to be representative of the album itself 🗿 as long as it reels in a new person into the artist and their album, then it's a job well done.
      it's actually the bsides, imo atleast, that need to reflect the artist's color. i feel if your bsides are good fuckin quality, the person reeled in by the tt will stay🤷🏻‍♀️ an english tt will atleast make sure those stubborn prejudiced ones will give the artists a listen....and well I've always thought it only takes one song to finding the rest so any start is a good start🤷🏻‍♀️ this is legit how other genres got more normalised too i still don't understand the uproar ngl

      @Mimi ni nzuri sana yeah I've noticed this tendency in k-pop fans in general they love "concepts" rather than actual growth and experimentation in artists when they have a fave. it's sad cos it limits the artists to certain boxes only. it's okay to not like a certain comeback but to question their entire identity over new experimentation just reeks of crazy. kfans do love the familiarity..... anything outside their box/reach and they lash/question or move on.

  • @Fuzzlekinz

    It's a good song, but my main issue is that it's too short! I really feel like having either the verses or the prechorus being double the length would be great. Maybe it's just because I've been listening to XG lately I've been spoiled by their prechorus segments.

    I appreciate your take on this as western audience. As an asian, my initial thought was 'hmmm... this sounds like it was made for the west'. So far I've only like maybe 2 b-sides from Ready To Be unlike their previous albums.
    The Feels is still best Western-centric song. I get that Twice wants to experiment and venture into new genres but for me if you're gonna release a song that's in a foreign language then it has to be at least catchy.

  • @tiredbylife.5589
    @tiredbylife.5589 Год назад +2

    It's pretty good. My biggest issue is that the Korean general public doesn't like change. My issue is not the song. Set Me Free is quite good. I saw the K-criticism and how the song didn't chart. They still want the Twice of old. It's annoying that artists, especially female artists, cannot grow and change.

    Twice is reminding me a lot on trajecyory to Apink. Started with a cute concept (or innocent in the case of Apink) and now evolved into a mature concept.

    This doesn't relate to Twice, loved the song though but Moonlight Sunrise is my kind of song though :) but what you mentioned about "if kpop wants to grow as a genre, it's necessary to take the west into count with songs" and "united states is the biggest music market" which I completely agree with btw, but one group that really popped into my mind when talking about this topic is, Itzy. Itzy has had a rocky road with songs recently, because I think JYP doesn't know what big of an impact the united states has on music, their 2 songs "Sneakers" and "boys like you" charted well and were liked domestically but weren't liked internationally made people think that Itzy has flopped, which mind you they didn't. But I feel like if JYP is taking Twice into count with the west, they should also take Itzy too.
    Itzy hasn't flopped, their songs are good and just because a song did good only domestically isn't an issue but I feel like JYP needs to understand the impact that the west has.
    Loved this comeback though

    I definitely understand why some fans don't want their idols to invest so much into western market. It's bcuz of the loss of their original musical touch. Like twice got this happy music style but when they go for USA they change it to a bit mature sort or more American pop style which tbh I don't like either. But the thing is, kpop can't remain inside the comfort zone of korean music for too long. Everyone's gotta evolve. I cannot bring same music expecting a lot from it. So u gotta expand and make something different even it's changing ur old identity.

They need to work with BEP again or an all new producer for the next comeback.
