    Fun fact: Tokyo in Korean is 동경 (pronounced like dongkyung) which is the same word as "longing" (동경). So the title "Tokyo" doesn't just mean the city. He's talking about constantly thinking about something you desperately want and long for.

    Joey, mono. is a really personal playlist that got the fandom shook. Namjoon (RM) shows us what's going on in his mind sometimes... He's doing what he asked us to do: he's speaking himself in the most sincere way he can, and that's through music. All the lyrics will be really deep. Thank you for reacting to this song! We, Nato Nation, love you and can't wait to see you reacting to the other tracks. Rest and take care of your health. 💜

    It's interesting that you mentioned feeling anxious because of his voice. I just read a musicians' discussion where they were talking about the composition of the piano chords, where on one end you have notes that are discordant and on the other side notes that are 'comfortable.' It's mimicked by the whistle, which has notes that are out of tune mixed with notes that are in tune, and by the raspy edge of his voice paired with the mellow intimacy of it. Also, a lot of Asian music doesn't follow Western chord progression, so there is some of that influence. Another person pointed out that part of the tune of this song is actually from their earlier song I Need U, only played backwards.

    Mono is really a masterpiece!! When you listen to all of playlist is becomes a one story. All of songs are deeply related to each other. When you listen to playlist in order, it felt like story is going on. Mono is really a mono tone. By the way my favorite is Moonchild!! I'm sorry if my English was not good or wrong...:)

    Love hearing your take on the production. I was actually surprised that you'd be delving into this playlist so quick but I love it. This song sounds like an Intro to me. And I appreciate you picking up his voice sounding like he just woke up and that it is has thought put into it as to why it sounds this way, setting the tone for the songs to come. Nobody was expecting the playlist we got, everyone was thinking we would get the same as the previous Mixtape he released. Him hyped up and spitting fire, so I think some were even disappointed because of their mind being set on that. But he has a heart of a poet and a love of words. Music is his outlet for his emotions and this playlist really shows this.

  • @le_kookie
    @le_kookie 5 лет назад +7

    perfect interpretation of the meaning. the fact that you can tell it from just the instruments tells alot about your skills. To be honest i dont know why society thinks that a song that refers to human qualities like laying right next to you is always about being in romantic relationship between a woman a man or a man and a man and woman woman but instead it's more of a friendship more of a family more within himself it's so much deeper than the being romantic and thanks to BTS I've learned that I've learned to look past the romantic stuff and I guess that's why I don't listen to American pop anymore because there's always always about losing the one that your romantically in a relationship with instead I want to learn how to love those around me not just someone that I'm romantically in love with and I feel like that's something that draws me into BTS . I completely agree with what you said but I really wish I really do wish that Society changes to your thinking and I appreciate everything you do I really do love your videos but I'm sorry I just needed to get this out of my chest sorry for the rant

    The whistling was interesting because on the one hand it kind of solidifies the loneliness-the echo. But they've also used the same kind of whistling in a few of their short films (Subs's First love & Jungkook's Begin).

    RM did it again w the wordplay and not only refers to the city Tokyo but also uses the Korean word for Tokyo= 동경 (dong kyung) which means longing.
    And “Torso” in Tokyo could bring several meanings too:
    1. upper body (Eng/JP)
    2. Corpse (躯)in JP
    3. Tree w/ a heart rot (躯)
    4. Sculpture of torso (ENG)
    5. Incomplete/Unfinished thing (ENG)
    6. Torn soul (abbrev.? Intentionally to be misheard?)

    Thank you so much for reacting to this album- this song in particular. The song is so introspective. It's so hypnotizing and really draws you into the mood RM's in. If this song came on in the middle of a party- BAM, sorry, hype gone. I would just feel like curling up inside myself on my bed, watching the rain fall outside the window, not wanting to do anything or talk to anyone for the rest of the day. RM did SUCH a good job on projecting the mood of this song. Also, love your videos Nato! Been meaning to comment for a while and say not many youtube reactors are doing what you do. They're mostly reacting to the artists themselves and not so much about how the music is actually produced. So many BTS fans have no idea what they're listening to and your channel is incredibly educational. I studied music and audio engineering myself years ago and it's so refreshing to see what you're doing. Keep it up :)

The whistling is so calming to me for some reason...it’s like we’re sitting beside him as he zones out and is just whistling to himself.

    I love Namjoon's album all the tracks.
    His voice is variously expressed in each song.
    Namjoon's vocals and rap are very beautiful and sexy.
    This album Mono is a very high quality.
    I'm surprised it's free.
    RM's lyrics are poetic and very literary.
    He is a literary boy and must be a genius.
    Namjoon is a great artist.
    Thank you so much reaction for RM's Tokyo 😍😍😍😍
