Halazia, man this song is on a whole another level. Also the acting and the cinematography in this? Mind blowing, Ateez the movie when? I would gladly pay to see a movie about their storyline
this song hits way harder when you have a general understanding of the lore for sure haha (i was kinda on the verge of tears but that might just be me) basically, ateez from the hala hala dimension are rebelling against a government that bans human emotions, except *that* ateez (aka halateez) got captured by the government, and now ateez from the zero:fever dimension (aka feverteez) have taken on their mantle and started a new revolution using the arts, which is their world: movement album. if you watch the spin off: prologue video, you can see that halazia is basically about that period when people are looking for a new beacon of hope after halateez have been captured. some other fun lore references in this mv are san's escalators from the diary film, the broken answer mv set, and yunho *in* the cromer, among others that i've probably missed :,) (plus the instrumental from the end of the guerrilla mv during the final bridge, if you caught that) the @hala_loretiny team on twitter has made a massive google doc of lore if you have a couple hours of free time sometime! also, please don't stop nerding out about song structure i live for it :))
With Halazia, I wanted them to end the year in an epic way, they went beyond my expectations🤣 I think this song is gonna be one of my favorite. It's intense, emotionnal and full of surprises. I don't know much about music producing but I really love the way the song is made. The way it increases in intensity after the first verse, and when you expect an explosion of the chorus, there is this moment in suspend with the bells. And when you expect an epic chorus again, there is this soft part with "hala hala halazia". And only after that, the chorus explode with Jongho's voice. It gave me chills ! All of this is surprising, but that's what makes the strength of the song. And they are all on point. Their vocals, Yeosang's deep voice, the rap parts, their visuals.. And for me, this MV is their best ! The ambiant, the lights, the colors, the transitions, the visual, the set, the effects.. everything is so beautiful and it gave something really intense to the story they tell here. I'm get a little emotionnal when I remember their first MVs 😆It was visualy so simple at that time and now their MVs looks like a movies! It show how far they've come and I'm kinda proud of their evolution 😆 P.S : I hope I'm clear in my review, I'm not always confortable with english 😆 And don't worry, I think you'll looks cool with Mingi's hat 🤣 more like a detective than a grandma 🤣
Haha I'll make sure to keep that when I'm shopping for a new hat. 😂 But thank you for taking to leave your thoughts and know that your english is awesome! But I agree, their evolution has been something to behold over the years and they've just gotten better. It's crazy! 🤯
I love that they're filming outside!! Inside sets can look amazing, but the outdoors just has a unique vibe and feeling. The wide landscape POV shots are so cinematic and flows so well with the song. I'm mind blown tooooo!
and in Thailand, no less. They still got that on chaotical city/underground movement/guerrilla feel, but shooting there they really suit their more occult-ish kind of spin off (from the previous futuristic-dystopian city in Guerrilla). The budget and the scale ATEEZ has operating now is insaaane.
"They may resolve this freaking two years from now" is a weird testament to how amazing they are. This is my SOTY, dropping literally right before the end of it. They made something that combines the very best of all things ATEEZ: visuals, lore, vocals, rapline supremacy, YEOSANG DEEP VOICE, choreo, and a song structure that defies gravity just like that emotional ball that gets dropped on our mountain (San). It gave me everything I needed to wrap up a wonderful year of being a very proud ATINY. I hope it wins the heck out of awards this new year, but it's already getting numbers: most video views for a 4th gen boy group in 24 hours, largest first-day album sales for any ATEEZ album (and it's a SINGLE!), it trended all over the place, and is nearing 24M views. I hope that 2023 sees them break more records and achieve more recognition for their incredible talents. Looking forward to your cover and thanks for loving on them with this effort!
I'm so happy that they've been winning awards with this song and I agree, they straight up dropped SOTY right at the end, haha. I'm so freaking proud of them and I can't wait to see how they continue to develop and mature as musicians.
Lol your captions are always so funny. And you're right this song is soooo unique musically. They take "normal" structure and form and just throw it out. I love it
Yo, for real! I actually like the MV version with the extra down section more than the one on Spotify for that reason tbh. 👀 But thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my editing. 😁
@@ThatKpopGuitarist I like the MV version of the audio best as well. The complete subversion of expectations by sticking that bell section in there is so cool
Man, I love your videos so much. Your musical perspective is super cool to hear, and your love for ATEEZ is felt deeply. Makes me feel good to see people enjoying them as much as I do. Fanboys unite! 💪😈🤘
Ayyyy fanboytiny present. 😤😂 But seriously, thank you! I'm just a music and Kpop nerd and I'm glad that my perspective is something people can enjoy. Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I highly recommend watching the Prologue for this. They do explain a little bit without giving anything away. But this is basically when they broke the cromer after the Deja Vu video. It’s not right after Guerilla but more or less a “parallel” universe is my understanding. But they lost gravity when the cromer broke and that is what San is doing. It’s either the moon or an robe that is set to hold the human emotions that he’s trying to release. I hope that helps! ❤
I read a fan theory that said it could be because they are not the real Ateez (could be halaziateez? The Ateez on another dimension?) So like no Fix On before Mingi's rap, Hongjoong also didn't giggle before his part
@@miwa3354 Hongjoong knew atiny’s would over analyze it lol. I did too at first😭 But he clarified it in pm by saying sometimes they aren’t able to fit the giggle or fix on in the songs (at least in this case).
Thanks for reacting. I think Ateez is the epitome of doing the unexpected musically. However that one long pause with the bells isn’t that long in the recording it was for the video (but I kind of wish it was the studio version), Hongjoong’s rap is so good in this. This was filmed in Thailand. The indoor set is the dining room from Answer. The scarecrow is wearing Halateez clothes.
Yeah, I actually prefer the arrangement of the MV version over that of the studio one because of how unique it is. It's why I picked the MV version to cover. 👀🤘🏻
Your professional analysis is so refreshing!!! I really like your reaction🤣and can't wait for your cover!!!!This song is an absolute masterpiece Ateez just keep outdoing themselves with every single comeback So proud to see their growth❤️
GOSH YEAH THIS SONG IS SO EPIC!!!!!!!!! The double prechorus reminded me a lot of Thanks by SVT! It’s SOOOOO crazy how they can just keep building it up and building it up like that!!! And the big epic ringing chime hits…. CHEFS KISS so incredible I love the vibe. It rly is so ATEEZ, it’s sooo them, I love how fully they utilize everyone’s talents!!!!!! Cant wait to see your cover, I already know it’s gonna ROCK 🤩🤘
omg your reaction videos are my favorite ever AHAHAH i get excited all over again watching this 😭😭 6:37 BAHAAHHA YEOSANG’S ARMS 8:12 PDHSJSK same 😭 16:31 HALACROW HAAHSBSH
I've never loved a song so quick to this extent since Answer came out. how in the world do they always outdo themselves when it seems like they've already done their best. Anyways i love your reactions and the way you truly dig into the music and production, i cannot wait to see what you do with this song
Yeah, this song became one of my all-time favorites soooooo fast it's insane. 🤯 I'm so happy you always enjoy them though. I always really appreciate your support. 🙏🏻🫰🏻
The feelings that only ATEEZ can make you feel. I remember my reaction the first time I watched this. I was literally mind blown, in awe and broken all at the same time. I was a sobbing mess. 😂 they're the best hands down. 🔥♥
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a reaction video as I did this one. You're editing is 10000000 out of 10. Living in NC I appreciated the way you said sawng haha You totally rock the "grandma in the grocery store" in the hat vibe btw Ateez is really good at creating unique different music which is one of the many reasons they are my favorite. You definitely weren't alone in geeking out over the music aspect of it. I totally freaked over the organ part because it really makes it sound so epic and daunting. Its like they see the typical standard for a kpop song and throw it out the window. As far as the lore goes, you should watch the teasers because they do reveal some things but I think the kids at the end might be the witnesses and/or the kids that woke up from Guerilla. Good luck with the cover haha!
I totally forgot you are in NC now and I'm sure you hear accents like mine ALL the time haha. I didn't even realize my accent came through so much until I was watching the video back while editing. I guess it's what happens when I get excited? 😂🤷🏼♂️ But yeah, one of these days, I'm going to sit down and learn all the lore as deeply as I can. Haven't had the time yet, but it'll happen! Also, I agree. It really broken the typical kpop song mold. I love it!
The bell part after the first prechorus is just in the MV, it's not in the actual song, i kinda wish it was though haha, i actually didn't realize it wasn't part of the actual song until their MBC performance since i had only been streaming the MV and had the actual audio streaming muted in the background LMFAO
I look forward to your reactions every time ATEEZ comes out with a new video … and I just absolutely KNEW this would blow your mind. This is definitely top three - maybe even, dare I say it, absolute top - ATEEZ song for me. The words hit me somewhere in my soul and began to heal what I never knew was hurting. The music is a journey that takes us through so many emotions and still somehow leaves us wanting more. Looking forward to your guitar cover!
Yeah, this song was a surprisingly emotional experience as a whole for me. I genuinely wasn't expecting a song to hit THAT hard, but here we are. 😅 It's now my second favorite song from them and some days dethrones Pirate King. 👀🤯
I can't wait for your version of this song. Please hurry up with your arrangement of it ;-) From one (beginning) Atiny to another: I don't know if you noticed, but Mingi's part with the "Who are you - It's just me, myself and I" is the counterpart (presumably) to Cyberpunk ("Who am I? I, my, mine"). And - I'm desperately trying to learn Korean for my work, so I pay attention to such nonsense - in Hongjoong's rapline... there might be (if I'm not reading too much into it) a countdown. In the second part of the first rap ("Even love...") - if you take the first syllables, it counts down from 4. I love your clips. You are such a joy to watch and listen to!!!
ngl when i saw the first 20s i was like " what in the cult-...........sign me up". halazia EASILY one of the best titles that they ever made. everything is soo well made , unique and unexpected. for me yeosangs part and the second verse were just @*@^!€!^+£€+👏🏻 and as you said they literally did the meme ( Never let them know your next move) lol About the lore. well from what I figure I think this is what the " witness " describing from their prospective, halateez are not in the picture ( maybe de*d not sure) bc of that the resistance group against the tyrannical government are left without their leaders and are desperate so ateez after alot of ups and downs took halateez position at halateez request before they dies (?) soo ... yeah that's what we think happening. I knew you would like it 🔥
Hahaha you could sign me up too. 😂 But I agree, it's one of my favorite releases they've ever done. Not sure how it happened, but it's pretty close to taking my number 1 song spot. Like they just elevated everything somehow. 🤯 But thank you for that explanation! I need to spend some time going through all the lore at some point. 🤔
I await your guitar cover of this Sir! Hehe! Definitely seems like it will be challenging...BUT, I bet you'll figure something out that will sound amazing.
I know that's so random 🤣 but the colors and light behind you look so soft and comfortable...I'm in love with your camera quality everything looks crystal clear 😳 it makes me wanna watch your videos for hours 😆 Thank you so much for good quality and your reaction 😊💗 Keep it up!! ❤️ (Still waiting for the collaboration 🤭) Happy new year btw~😆
Ayy, thank you so much! It actually means a lot to read that because of the work I put into making my videos look the way they do. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your support. 🥹🫰🏻 Also, HNY!
Whenever I watch an Ateez video I have to watch it multiple times. It is always sensory overload on the first listen. The song is set in a dystopian time when they are emotionally numb and trying to find hope. You may want to watch the Prologue for the lore but I still can’t figure it all out. The lyrics are amazing-they speak to their lore but also to humanity today. I think this song is close to dethroning Answer and Inception for first place. This song feels like a religious experience. You also may want to watch either the fixed cam Gayo performance of their dance practice. This dance is gorgeous.
Literally me watching it lmao It keeps the suspense up at every turn and builds up so nicely throughout the whole song. You just never know where it’s gonna go and that’s so cool to me. It’s visually and musically AMAZING! Ateez never misses
Hi Andrew! Can’t wait to see what you do with this for your guitar cover. Wanted to put this first, in case you don’t want to read my ramblings. 😂 Aside from the ACTUAL lore (which is SO DEEP), lol… The song has so many hymn-like qualities. The organ, the bells, the vocals and lyrics that are almost like a prayer (they’re pleading for someone/something to be the light). Several points of the choreography also mimic prayer and the sign of the cross. Yeosang’s part comes in like a call to march. I live for that drum pounding out the pace… and if you look close, there’s a small heart on the side of the drum. He's like the “heartbeat,” reminding everyone they’re alive: it’s time for them to wake up and reclaim their voices. The effigy of HALATEEZ looks like a cross between a scarecrow and religious iconography (imagine the typical Christ on the cross above a church altar… the Prologue video even talks about how the people are waiting for “them” to return, knowing they never will). When they burn it down and it falls, it’s like letting go of old beliefs and making way for new ones (the new 8). San sacrifices himself (another religious parallel) to restore the lost gravity and emotion (omg, his acting? I’m not convinced he didn’t die). The quartet at the end… these are the witnesses? They are literal witnesses of the faith and determination ATEEZ have to restore light / gravity / emotion. Anyway… there’s such an interesting and dynamic structure to this song. I feel like ATEEZ is relatively unique in the way they build songs that seem meant for MVs. As amazing as this song is on its own, the impact when paired with the MV is like a knockout punch from Rocky.
Happy New Year, Andrew! Thank you for this reaction. I laughed at so many parts my boys thought I'm watching some comedy show. 🤣 This song is so powerful and addicting. When I stream ateez's comeback mvs, I don't always listen to the audio all the time but I just can't remove the earphones w this song ... must be the halahalahalahala halazia .. it's hypnotic err hypnotising err hype bye English Looking forward to the guitar cover!
i really like the way you analyze and describe the music and instruments being used in the song. thank you for another reaction and cant wait for your guitar cover!
Man your reactions and faces are soooo relatable!! 🤣 Like stank face squad right here 🤟Can't wait for the guitar cover, I KNOW it's going to be amazing!
What a great way to start the year: with an awesome reaction. I always come back because I love to watch your true and passionate reactions. (Oh yes, I also rewatch your old reactions from time to time and I think people should do the same 😂) Man, I hope your channel grows bigger and bigger this year!
Thank you for this. You are quickly becoming one of my favourite reactors. Your breakdowns of the song structure and your insights are fantastic. I think Halazia has taken the number one spot as my favourite Ateez song from Answer... I didn't see that coming at all!
Oh, you're so welcome! I'm just glad you enjoyed it and that I'm becoming one of your favorites! I'm not even a reaction channel, so it means a ton. 🥹 But yeah, Halazia us now in constant battle with Pirate King for my top spot haha. 😂
hey man!! hope you had a great time during the holidays~ so glad to see you reacting to halazia 😆 “never let them know your next move” “what kind of anime-“ lmfao!!!! that seems so accurate 😂 a lot of your reactions were similar to mine and i’m sure many other atiny
we always need more mad max in kpop, truly 🔥everything about this thing from the music to the video is STRAIGHT CINEMA!!!! thank you so much for the video i always enjoy the nerding out in these
I was waiting for your reaction..and your cover...hahaha..i love every piece of the song, the video, the intensity, the visuals, the lyrics. Every single thing. But now, it's the kage bunshin technique dance move on wy..hahahaha..
Обожаю ваши реакции, это прям отдельное наслаждение - смотреть, как вы реагируете на творчество ateez, их новые релизы, особенно с точки зрения музыки, аранжировки, переходов, вокала и пр. Спасибо! Будем ждать кавер!
You should definitely watch the prelogue video! It gives at least a bit more context for the lore and the mv (: HALAZIA was so unexpected and I wasn’t expecting anything but still they blew me away and outdid themselves once again as always
Happy new year!!! I’ve been waiting for your reaction 😂 thanks for explaining some of the musical parts especially with that build at the end!! Looking forward to the cover 😊
i’m curious as to what type of processing you do on your final videos for your audio because it seems to have isolated the main vocals of halazia in the mv as well! i was wondering why their voices seem so clear, and it’s because the backup vocals and instrumental are a lot quieter which is really cool
So fun fact, I don't do any processing on the audio for the MV. I isolate my voice itself to remove some reverb/reflections, but the MV audio is recorded straight from my computer and then I adjust the volume to taste. Not sure how it comes out like that, but I'm glad you enjoy it. 😅😂
I felt the same way about the song on the initial listen. I wasn't sure if I loved it but I didn't hate it. It was on the second or third listen that everything from the bridge to the end hit me emotionally. Everything together felt frantic and almost desperate compared to the beginning of the song which was more haunting like they were praying or cult worshipping XD. I'm so intrigued with the storyline right now but I am so confused. Anyway, this will be another one of those songs that will be amazing LIVE alongside Guerrilla. Thanks for the reaction and looking forward to the cover :)
Yeah, I've come to love it more and more with each listen for sure. I just love how different it is and I agree, I think it would be AMAZING live. All the stages I've seen of it so far have been. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The dinosaur hands! Lol i can’t 💀 And yes please 🙏🏻 I need a movie or tv show with their storyline 💯 can you imagine who would play them? Also if halazia made it’s way into anybody’s top 3, drop your top 3 below. Mine are 1. Precious 2. Aurora 3. Halazia BUT it’s really trying to come for Aurora’s spot! 😄
I cried when I first watched this video😂 the lyrics are so deeeep But still I was confused as hell. Like what happens to San? Why is Woo burning the hat? Do we have to worry about Yeosang? Who are the people at the end? What does the falling orb mean?
The cover is now LIVE y'all: ruclips.net/video/kBtk3P5o3NY/видео.html 😁
Halazia, man this song is on a whole another level. Also the acting and the cinematography in this? Mind blowing, Ateez the movie when? I would gladly pay to see a movie about their storyline
For realllllllll. I need a movie ASAP. Lol
But yeah, this song wrecked me and my top 3 Ateez song list. 💀
this song hits way harder when you have a general understanding of the lore for sure haha (i was kinda on the verge of tears but that might just be me)
basically, ateez from the hala hala dimension are rebelling against a government that bans human emotions, except *that* ateez (aka halateez) got captured by the government, and now ateez from the zero:fever dimension (aka feverteez) have taken on their mantle and started a new revolution using the arts, which is their world: movement album. if you watch the spin off: prologue video, you can see that halazia is basically about that period when people are looking for a new beacon of hope after halateez have been captured. some other fun lore references in this mv are san's escalators from the diary film, the broken answer mv set, and yunho *in* the cromer, among others that i've probably missed :,) (plus the instrumental from the end of the guerrilla mv during the final bridge, if you caught that) the @hala_loretiny team on twitter has made a massive google doc of lore if you have a couple hours of free time sometime!

Good luck with the cover haha!
I totally forgot you are in NC now and I'm sure you hear accents like mine ALL the time haha. I didn't even realize my accent came through so much until I was watching the video back while editing. I guess it's what happens when I get excited? 😂🤷🏼♂️
But yeah, one of these days, I'm going to sit down and learn all the lore as deeply as I can. Haven't had the time yet, but it'll happen! Also, I agree. It really broken the typical kpop song mold. I love it!
The bell part after the first prechorus is just in the MV, it's not in the actual song, i kinda wish it was though haha, i actually didn't realize it wasn't part of the actual song until their MBC performance since i had only been streaming the MV and had the actual audio streaming muted in the background LMFAO
Yeah, I had a similar experience with that whole down section in the MV too. I actually prefer the MV version more. 😂👀
I look forward to your reactions every time ATEEZ comes out with a new video … and I just absolutely KNEW this would blow your mind. This is definitely top three - maybe even, dare I say it, absolute top - ATEEZ song for me. The words hit me somewhere in my soul and began to heal what I never knew was hurting. The music is a journey that takes us through so many emotions and still somehow leaves us wanting more. Looking forward to your guitar cover!
Yeah, this song was a surprisingly emotional experience as a whole for me. I genuinely wasn't expecting a song to hit THAT hard, but here we are. 😅 It's now my second favorite song from them and some days dethrones Pirate King. 👀🤯
I can't wait for your version of this song. Please hurry up with your arrangement of it ;-)
From one (beginning) Atiny to another: I don't know if you noticed, but Mingi's part with the "Who are you - It's just me, myself and I" is the counterpart (presumably) to Cyberpunk ("Who am I? I, my, mine").
And - I'm desperately trying to learn Korean for my work, so I pay attention to such nonsense - in Hongjoong's rapline... there might be (if I'm not reading too much into it) a countdown. In the second part of the first rap ("Even love...") - if you take the first syllables, it counts down from 4.
I love your clips. You are such a joy to watch and listen to!!!
I'm so happy that you enjoy my videos and I really appreciate your support. 🥹
However, no, I didn't realize those things and that's CRAZY. So cool. 🤯
ngl when i saw the first 20s i was like " what in the cult-...........sign me up".
halazia EASILY one of the best titles that they ever made. everything is soo well made , unique and unexpected. for me yeosangs part and the second verse were just @*@^!€!^+£€+👏🏻 and as you said they literally did the meme ( Never let them know your next move) lol
About the lore. well from what I figure I think this is what the " witness " describing from their prospective, halateez are not in the picture ( maybe de*d not sure) bc of that the resistance group against the tyrannical government are left without their leaders and are desperate so ateez after alot of ups and downs took halateez position at halateez request before they dies (?) soo ... yeah that's what we think happening.
I knew you would like it 🔥
Hahaha you could sign me up too. 😂 But I agree, it's one of my favorite releases they've ever done. Not sure how it happened, but it's pretty close to taking my number 1 song spot. Like they just elevated everything somehow. 🤯
But thank you for that explanation! I need to spend some time going through all the lore at some point. 🤔
hongjoong himself said that halazia is a song that is only able to be done by ateez so good luck with that cover 🫡
Yeah, it was so freaking challenging. 😅🤯
@@ThatKpopGuitarist i just heard your cover and it was so cool!! It was so well done 😭
I await your guitar cover of this Sir! Hehe! Definitely seems like it will be challenging...BUT, I bet you'll figure something out that will sound amazing.
I appreciate that. 🥹 I'm going to give it my all!
I know that's so random 🤣 but the colors and light behind you look so soft and comfortable...I'm in love with your camera quality everything looks crystal clear 😳 it makes me wanna watch your videos for hours 😆 Thank you so much for good quality and your reaction 😊💗 Keep it up!! ❤️ (Still waiting for the collaboration 🤭) Happy new year btw~😆
Ayy, thank you so much! It actually means a lot to read that because of the work I put into making my videos look the way they do. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your support. 🥹🫰🏻
Also, HNY!
When I die, I wish I return as Halazia.
I believe we all do at this point. 😂
Whenever I watch an Ateez video I have to watch it multiple times. It is always sensory overload on the first listen.
The song is set in a dystopian time when they are emotionally numb and trying to find hope.
You may want to watch the Prologue for the lore but I still can’t figure it all out.
The lyrics are amazing-they speak to their lore but also to humanity today.
I think this song is close to dethroning Answer and Inception for first place.
This song feels like a religious experience.
You also may want to watch either the fixed cam Gayo performance of their dance practice. This dance is gorgeous.
Yo, for real. The choreo for this song is INSANEEEEE. GAH. But yeah, I really need to watch the prologue. 👀
happy new year! What a way to scramble everyone's top 5 at the end of 2022
Hahaha for real. I feel personally attacked and I don't know how to rank them anymore. 🤦🏼♂️
so i am not the only one notice ateez song have some idea from Hans Zimmer interstellar soundtrack
YES. I figured I wouldn't be the only one. 😁
Literally me watching it lmao It keeps the suspense up at every turn and builds up so nicely throughout the whole song. You just never know where it’s gonna go and that’s so cool to me. It’s visually and musically AMAZING! Ateez never misses
Yo for real. Always outdoing themselves. 🤯😤🤘🏻
Hi Andrew! Can’t wait to see what you do with this for your guitar cover. Wanted to put this first, in case you don’t want to read my ramblings. 😂
Aside from the ACTUAL lore (which is SO DEEP), lol…
The song has so many hymn-like qualities. The organ, the bells, the vocals and lyrics that are almost like a prayer (they’re pleading for someone/something to be the light). Several points of the choreography also mimic prayer and the sign of the cross.
Yeosang’s part comes in like a call to march. I live for that drum pounding out the pace… and if you look close, there’s a small heart on the side of the drum. He's like the “heartbeat,” reminding everyone they’re alive: it’s time for them to wake up and reclaim their voices.
The effigy of HALATEEZ looks like a cross between a scarecrow and religious iconography (imagine the typical Christ on the cross above a church altar… the Prologue video even talks about how the people are waiting for “them” to return, knowing they never will). When they burn it down and it falls, it’s like letting go of old beliefs and making way for new ones (the new 8).
San sacrifices himself (another religious parallel) to restore the lost gravity and emotion (omg, his acting? I’m not convinced he didn’t die). The quartet at the end… these are the witnesses? They are literal witnesses of the faith and determination ATEEZ have to restore light / gravity / emotion.
Anyway… there’s such an interesting and dynamic structure to this song. I feel like ATEEZ is relatively unique in the way they build songs that seem meant for MVs. As amazing as this song is on its own, the impact when paired with the MV is like a knockout punch from Rocky.
Thank you for writing all that out! It's so freaking interesting and I loved reading it. Their lore/storytelling is so freaking amazing. 🤯🤯
Happy New Year, Andrew! Thank you for this reaction. I laughed at so many parts my boys thought I'm watching some comedy show. 🤣
This song is so powerful and addicting. When I stream ateez's comeback mvs, I don't always listen to the audio all the time but I just can't remove the earphones w this song ... must be the halahalahalahala halazia .. it's hypnotic err hypnotising err hype bye English
Looking forward to the guitar cover!
Haha for real. I feel the same way! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you watching! 😁
i really like the way you analyze and describe the music and instruments being used in the song. thank you for another reaction and cant wait for your guitar cover!
I'm so glad! Thank you for taking the time to watch. I'll keep it up! 😁
Man your reactions and faces are soooo relatable!! 🤣 Like stank face squad right here 🤟Can't wait for the guitar cover, I KNOW it's going to be amazing!
Ayyyyy stank face squad unite! 😂😂
Yo that shot when they burn the scarecrow along with jongho's vocal on bridge is insanely beautiful
Right?????? 😭
I love, love, LOVE your reactions! You made my day!
Mission accomplished then. 😁 Thank you so much for watching! 😊🫰🏻
The amount of time you spend editing your videos is insane! thank you so much for your hard work ❤️❤️❤️ I’ll be always here supporting you
You're so, so welcome. I seriously appreciate the kind words and your consistent support! 🥹🫰🏻 I'll keep giving my best!!
What a great way to start the year: with an awesome reaction.
I always come back because I love to watch your true and passionate reactions. (Oh yes, I also rewatch your old reactions from time to time and I think people should do the same 😂)
Man, I hope your channel grows bigger and bigger this year!
Yo, that's so freaking kind of you. Thank you so much. 🥹🙏🏻
the whole thing on yeosang's arms had me laughing so hard. you aren't wrong tho it definitely looks like it would hurt a lot
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm glad someone appreciated it.
Everyone gets confused on that random drop but its just for the mv its not like that on the actual streaming platforms
I actually prefer the MV over the studio version. 👀
Can’t wait for your guitar cover for this song
So late to this comment, but I hoped you enjoyed it! 😁
I cant fkn wait for you to cover this
I hope you enjoyed it! 👀
Great reaction !!!! This song is just a masterpiece , brilliant!!!!Happy new year ✨🤗🤩
Ayy, happy new year to you too, Lilly! Thank you as always. 🥹
You will get more goosebumps if you know their lore and combine it with the MV
Oh, I most definitely did. 👀🤘🏻
Thank you for this. You are quickly becoming one of my favourite reactors. Your breakdowns of the song structure and your insights are fantastic. I think Halazia has taken the number one spot as my favourite Ateez song from Answer... I didn't see that coming at all!
Oh, you're so welcome! I'm just glad you enjoyed it and that I'm becoming one of your favorites! I'm not even a reaction channel, so it means a ton. 🥹 But yeah, Halazia us now in constant battle with Pirate King for my top spot haha. 😂
17.53 is the part after the Guerilla!!!
I realized that afterwards. 👀
La reacción, se nota que lo disfrutó 😆❤️
Oh I had a BLAST. 😂 Thank you for watching!
thank you for your reaction!!
You're so welcome!! Thank you for watching. 😁
yayyy was looking forward to your reaction, thanks for more atz
It's an honor and a privilege. Thank you for your support! 🥹
hey man!! hope you had a great time during the holidays~ so glad to see you reacting to halazia 😆 “never let them know your next move” “what kind of anime-“ lmfao!!!! that seems so accurate 😂 a lot of your reactions were similar to mine and i’m sure many other atiny
Haha I'm glad we're similar! I'm also really happy that you enjoyed the video. Atiny present! 😁🤘🏻
This reaction is TOP TIER HAHAHAH
As a fellow nerd, I am soo happy that you are pointing out those small music/mv production details!! Allows me to appreciate the song much more 🔥
Ayy, I'm so happy you liked it!! Yeah, I always think I'm too nerdy, but I'm really glad people are benefiting from it. I'll keep it up!! 😁
Thank you for breaking that down!
Ayy, you're so welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
we always need more mad max in kpop, truly 🔥everything about this thing from the music to the video is STRAIGHT CINEMA!!!! thank you so much for the video i always enjoy the nerding out in these
Oh, you're welcome! I'm just happy you enjoy them. 😁
But yeah, I wouldn't be mad if they made a movie about the lore. 👀
I was waiting for your reaction..and your cover...hahaha..i love every piece of the song, the video, the intensity, the visuals, the lyrics. Every single thing. But now, it's the kage bunshin technique dance move on wy..hahahaha..
Yesssssss I meant to actually include a Naruto reference in the edit and I forgot. 😅🤦🏼♂️😂
No puedo parar de ver y cantar HALAZIAAA
Same, haha
Great reaction man, I love your editing and I was waiting for it. Now I wanna that cover!!
Ayy, thanks, Luis! It's coming! I'm actually working on it right now. 👀
I need Halazia guitar cover in all possible variations you can get it
Oh, well I'm so happy to hear that! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos and I seriously appreciate the support. 🥹
I love your reactions ❤❤❤and your covers are PERFECT 🥰🥰
Can’t wait to hear your cover!
Super late to this, but it's out now!
Been waiting for your reaction, bro!
Ayyy, thank you!
Hehe I was waiting for this video
Обожаю ваши реакции, это прям отдельное наслаждение - смотреть, как вы реагируете на творчество ateez, их новые релизы, особенно с точки зрения музыки, аранжировки, переходов, вокала и пр.
Спасибо! Будем ждать кавер!
I'm so glad you enjoy them! Thank you so much for watching. 😁🤘🏻
Great reaction! An Happy New Year.
Yoo, thanks so much, Davis. Happy new year to you as well. 😁🤘🏻
I wish I had the strength to avoid the teasers and get the fully impact of this song. I was blown away anyways! Loved the reaction
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and for all your support. 🥹 The only way I avoided them as was because I was so busy haha.
thank you🥺💖
You're so welcome. 😁
You should definitely watch the prelogue video! It gives at least a bit more context for the lore and the mv (: HALAZIA was so unexpected and I wasn’t expecting anything but still they blew me away and outdid themselves once again as always
Yeah, I really need to just go watch that. That and some of the videos explaining the lore. 🤔
I am SO glad I came across your channel today. You absolutely crack me up and your guitar covers are everything. I can't wait for more!
Oh, thank you so much, Haley! I've got loads more on the way and I'll keep giving it my best. 🥹
Thanks for watching!!
You are literally me watching it for the first time too😂😭 think I may have went through a seizure ngl
Bruhhhh I hope you're okay! 👀
@@ThatKpopGuitarist I'm great hahaha just so many emotions ya know 😂😂
looking forward to your cover TT as soon as i heard this song i instantly thought about how you would cover this
I'm going to give it my very best and hopefully, you'll love it! 😁🫰🏻
@@ThatKpopGuitarist don't pressure yourself I'm sure it will be great 🥺🥺 thank you for your video 💗
Lmaaaoooooooooo that caption with Hongjoong at 4:58 xD Loved the reaction though dude, keep it up!!!!!!!!!
Ayy, thanks, Jake! I'm just glad you enjoyed it. I'll keep giving my best!
Happy new year!!! I’ve been waiting for your reaction 😂 thanks for explaining some of the musical parts especially with that build at the end!! Looking forward to the cover 😊
Ayyy, you're so welcome! I'm just glad I can provide a new insight for people, as limited as my knowledge is. 😅 I'm going to give it my all! 😤
Other atinys let me know if you heard it, but I think I heard jongho repeat the utopia adlibs during the part with san, wooyoung, and jongho
See now I need to go back and listen for that. 🤔
thank you for this videooo and yes yes i absolutely agree with all your thoughts🤣❣
You're so welcome! I'm just glad you enjoy them. 😁
The dino hands😭😂
Hahaha thank you so much for catching that. 😂
i’m curious as to what type of processing you do on your final videos for your audio because it seems to have isolated the main vocals of halazia in the mv as well! i was wondering why their voices seem so clear, and it’s because the backup vocals and instrumental are a lot quieter which is really cool
So fun fact, I don't do any processing on the audio for the MV. I isolate my voice itself to remove some reverb/reflections, but the MV audio is recorded straight from my computer and then I adjust the volume to taste.
Not sure how it comes out like that, but I'm glad you enjoy it. 😅😂
@@ThatKpopGuitarist sometimes programs just give fun surprises i guess ^^
the fact that Halazia was supossed to be a bside in the movement album still impress me
It couldn't be contained as a b side. There's no way. 😂
I felt the same way about the song on the initial listen. I wasn't sure if I loved it but I didn't hate it. It was on the second or third listen that everything from the bridge to the end hit me emotionally. Everything together felt frantic and almost desperate compared to the beginning of the song which was more haunting like they were praying or cult worshipping XD. I'm so intrigued with the storyline right now but I am so confused. Anyway, this will be another one of those songs that will be amazing LIVE alongside Guerrilla. Thanks for the reaction and looking forward to the cover :)
Yeah, I've come to love it more and more with each listen for sure. I just love how different it is and I agree, I think it would be AMAZING live. All the stages I've seen of it so far have been. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol, I enjoy you going out of your mind in a good way.
Haha I'm happy to entertain. 😁
My reaction was the same 😂 I was going through a lot of emotions watching the mv lol, lov ur reaction btw ❤
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it, reacted the same, and watched. 🥹
The dinosaur hands! Lol i can’t 💀
And yes please 🙏🏻 I need a movie or tv show with their storyline 💯 can you imagine who would play them?
Also if halazia made it’s way into anybody’s top 3, drop your top 3 below. Mine are 1. Precious 2. Aurora 3. Halazia BUT it’s really trying to come for Aurora’s spot! 😄
Ooooo
1. Pirate King
2. Halazia
3. Wonderland
I had the same reaction and the same face at the end of the music video! 😂
Yeah, I figured I wouldn't be alone. 😂
I cried when I first watched this video😂 the lyrics are so deeeep
But still I was confused as hell. Like what happens to San? Why is Woo burning the hat? Do we have to worry about Yeosang? Who are the people at the end? What does the falling orb mean?
Yeah, there are a few comments here that explain things really well. I need to get more versed on the lore. 🤔
I love you'r reaction
Thank you so much!!
Love your review and editing. The song is a bit different than the video so that may help your cover.
Thank you, I'm so happy you enjoy them! Yeah, I actually went with the MV audio for the cover because I like the audio more. 😂
18:50 - 19:05 THE EDITING HAS ME IN STITCHES AAAA 🤣
Hahaha I aim to entertain. 😁 Thanks for watching!!
Ateaser 😂
Haha I made myself laugh editing it. 😂
Nice
Thank you!
if i can marry a song i would marry halazia fr❤ i cried sm watching this too (TMI lol)
aaand Rengoku mingi is my love
I literally cannot see anything but Rengoku when I see Mingi from this era. 😂
HALACROW 😂❤
Yeah, it felt cheesy, but I stuck with it haha. 😂
And then somehow...San doesn't die. 😆
Sometimes I say thing and then laugh at myself when I'm editing them. 😂
Ily
I'm just glad you enjoyed it. 😁
ANNYEOHASEO HAHHAHAHAHAH
Haha I'm glad you enjoyed that. 😂
as an insomnia never really vibed w/ Ateez, i liked other BGs more i guess but this song is a BANGER!!! man, i was jealous they got this song lol
Yeah, I feel like this song will get a lot of people's attention. 👀
