I'm going to miss the SQUAD this week! These performances were absolute fire!

Schaumkus

The second song was I.O.I - Very Very Very The group disbaned. Somi, who was in Sixteen, was part of that group. I think there were some rumors about them reuniting at some point. Don't know if that happened.

Bia M.

Very Very Very is a song from 2016, so you decide if you think is a Throwback Thursday material❤️

Props to you on the grading this week. It was close, but Sun Rise put on a complete team performance and looked like a legit group. The Seaside Fairies were great too, but the individual performances were more memorable to me than the entire team performance. Akari was great and Nina's vocals are no joke. Can't wait to check out EP 5 when you're back.

The song was "very very very" written by JYP. He first planned it for TWICE and they even started practicing for the song. The chorus that Ayaka sang (nomu nomu nomu) was Jeongyeon's part. But in the end, JYP gave it to I.O.I with Somi and TWICE got TT.

Puppy

I.O.I already disbanded (sad), so please give them love and support, and do this song for Throwback Thursday.

Jonah Passi

You definitely killed it with the judging this episode. 🤙🏾 I'm happy you got to see Mihii's performance before you left. Both teams did really well! All the group performances in the show are amazing. Can't wait to talk about the upcoming episodes when you watch em

A.D

Yeah I.O.I aren't much of a throwback, Somi from Sixteen was actually in the group until they eventually disbanded (the group was post Sixteen). I.O.I were also formed through a survival show but Somi is a solo artist now as u know. Next episode onwards are all my favorites! And yes we see the cuteness too! Miihi is also my bias shes pure talent

So I'll say this, the 2nd group just finished and I haven't heard your rating on them yet. While I felt the first team did a really good job, it seemed to me like trainees who did a really good job, the second team just seemed to be a step ahead (though I don't know the song either so maybe it just seemed that way), their timing, harmony and everything just seemed more in sync like a professional group. So if you gave 9 to the first group id give the 2nd group a 10.

Chewwwy

TooGrown, maybe it was only me who got double charged for Patreon earlier when there was a problem and an hour ago. I sent an email, hopefully it will get fixed. But I am so excited for this reaction, cause I know you will love Sunrise's performance. The song is Very Very Very, written by JYP. This was meant for TWICE but he gave them TT instead which we were happy he did. And gave this song to I.O.I ( Produce101 s1 group) since Somi was with JYP at that time. This could be throwback since the group disbanded (they are a group meant to promote for 1year only). This was one of the most iconic performance in Nizi season 2. So I am glad that you like it. I was bias in rating this since I watched it already and since Rima is performing so 10 for Sunriseand 9 for Seaside Fairies. And Rima took the whole rap verse which was originally performed by 2 persons.

Subtitle error. Said mako's team was against rima's team at the end lol

saz

Personally, I think the episodes on youtube have a better translation than these videos from kculture(?)

Syndicaterx

Props to Rima for her leadership skills as well during Miihi’s absence. I hope he gets to react to IZ*ONE sometime in the future as well (hopefully while they’re still active)

Scott Adams

Miihi said she wants to avoid Mako's team, Mako said she wants to compete with Miihi's team. lol

Scott Adams

When Nina's team drew DTNA you and I both shouted "YAAAASSSS" at the same time lol Now "Seaside Faeries" makes total sense. Also one thing I noticed watching Nina take lead while practicing vocals is that she's a really good team-mate.

PhanMann

Hey grown squad and fellow Onces. I’m going to end up with a couple extra vlive codes for World in a Day and got TooGrown’s blessing to give a them away here. Hopefully trying to help about a couple Onces/squad members who aren’t able to afford the concert. I won’t be receiving the codes from Yes24 (bought the bundles) until 8/7, but just leave a comment!

Scott Adams

Nina's team gets a 9 from me man. I'm biased for the song too! lol Plus Nina KILLED that Jihyo note. Also Mihi's team....just going off their outfits and their introduction I feel like they're going to do Nomu Nomu Nomu from IOI. (JYP made the song for IOI which is a group that had talent like Somi and Chungha in it)----EDIT: OH HELL I GOT IT RIGHT IT IS NOMU NOMU NOMU!!! Low-Key I'm sad you didn't recognize Somi in the front though. Looking forward to you reacting to her music since 15+1!

Scott Adams

My favorites are Miihi, Akari, Mako, Riku Ayaka and Nina. Eliminations are gonna suuuuuck, but if we could have all 13 girls in one group then there wouldn't be a point for the tv show right?

Theysandor

Man ... going on NOMU NOMU NOMU is a bit complex ^^ Some people will surely explain it in more details than me. If i had to resume that's one iconic song from I.O.I which is the girl group tha got formed after Produce 101 first season, which is a survival show (like 15+1) but with nothing but 101 contestant from many agencies. I.O.I had a limited contract time and disbanded after i think 1.5 years (so each agency could get back their now famous trainees). They were insanely popular and their last concert was really emotional (and the fans did everything they could so they stay together). They were a 2016-2017 Group ... so we can't really call them "throwback" material. but still they are now "officialy" disbanded .... And again, i think it's not the same experience if you just react to one song without all the context (the survival, their debut etc ...). I thinks that watching Produce 101 would be insane on your patreon ... but i also think that may kill you XD as i think that even 15+1 is not as emotionnal and nerve wrecking (the eliminations are brutal). And if you go on the Produce 101 route ... well you'll have to go for Produce 48 after (same program, but third season), where the candidates came form korea AND japan, and that's the program that gave us IZ*ONE, which time is also limited (2.5 years), but is also a major success (they are even tackling with Twice on album sales for example). they are absolutely incredible, cute, fun and goofy. So ... i think you'll love produce 101+I.O.I. and produce 48 + IZ*ONE on your channels, but i also think that's a lot of work and dedication. that'll be up to you and probably when you'll have finished the main content of your actual groups. The I.O.I disband also gave us many new groups (with one or two members and new recruits) and some great solo artitsts ... so that's even more content XD Maybe you can just react to Nomu Nomu Nomu and a thursday, even if it's not really a Throwback (as I.O.I is technically "younger" than Twice or RV for example), just because you've reacted to all the song covered in 15+1 and Nizi project. But it'll spoil every member that got in I.O.I and lessened the produce 101 experience if you want to try it one day (as it did for 15+1).

Theysandor

and well ... that' wasn't short at all ... sorry for the wall of text

Seaside Fairies (Nina, Mayuka, Akari, Riria) – Dance the Night Away • Vocal – 7 Riria consistently strong. Nina seemed to lose some stamina by midpoint of the song and was rushing, but easily delivered on the belting notes. Akari thin. Mayuka started flat but improved. • Dance – 9 Synchronicity was pretty solid, except for one small part where Mayuka was off. Energy and lines consistent across the girls. Pleased that the difficult tap section at the end was uniform between them. • Face – 9 Kept their stage faces on for the whole thing. Mostly static expressions with no dynamic flourishes, though. • Group Interaction – 7 Original choreo had more group interaction with members on periphery of stage, which seemed to be eliminated here. Aside from one brief moment, attention seemed to be mostly paid forward to JYP. Solid spatial awareness in both formations and transitions, though.

Carl Dungca

For real, while over the course of the series, we'll see Mako demonstrate a lot of the hard-to-teach "soft" leadership skills valuable to team chemistry, we'll also regularly see Rima demonstrate a lot of technical leadership and tutelage. She did so well holding the ship together while 1/3 of the team was absent, and then bringing Miihi into alignment when she got back.

Carl Dungca

Sunrise (Miihi, Rima, Ayaka) – Very Very Very • Vocal – 8 Ayaka still thin, but you can hear that she’s not flat. Rima feels like a confident, natural fit. The part given to Miihi ncludes the very breath-y part that sounds labored, but is actually part of the even the original, but her belt was good, if not goosebump-inducing. Really good harmonization at the a capella outro. • Dance – 9 Miihi’s whacking is a bit soft. Ayaka needs to manage her height difference a bit better when in formation (see Tzuyu for examples of adjusting body lines to get the front-facing silhouette in alignment). Proper energy modulation at all the right parts. I’d like to see some of the lines more consistent, but that could just be due to the low-angle shots exposing the inconsistencies, vs a straight-on camera. Spacing of the two wing dancers looked symmetrical from the center. • Face – 10 These are the dynamics that separate “good” from “great.” Not just static happy faces, but expressiveness-in-motion. Takes it from “we are happy” or “this is the energy of the song” to “we invite you to feel the energy with us.” See Rima’s winks and sideways glances or Miihi’s eye clutching as she takes the deep breaths. • Group Interaction – 9 Making physical contact, supporting the center. Casting glances to help guide our attention. Ended on a very nice symmetrical heart tableau. Choreo includes a few formations that require solid interaction with other group members (as opposed to just standing in your little zone), and they did it well.

Since I.O.I already disbanded because they were a temporary group you should definitely react to them on Throwback Thursday, Somi was in this group btw, they were formed by Produce 101, another survival show, and she ranked first! Produce series has been a thing for four years now and they’re latest group is IZ*ONE, Chaeyeon is in there (Chaeryoung sister don’t know if you remember her from Sixteen)

Mr Jackpots

Yes it does but the performances are edited. The JYP version is 5 minutes shorter than the KCulture one. Either way you miss something.

Mr Jackpots

I can't believe there are so many people here who didn't see this show when it first aired. JYP forming a new group! How could you miss it? I'll just keep my big mouth shut and sign off. No spoilers here, except that Mako will rock your world.

When I watched Nizi Project, I always had weird feeling If any one watched all of 99% Challenge Project, SuperStar Survival, All 6 seasons of Kpop Star, and Sixteen, may feel the same way JYP was using different standard of judging. Sometimes people said he changed from Sixteen, but he never changed After Sixteen, he was still same person when he judged at Kpop Star. JYP is the one who spent 8 hours to record Suzy's 'lo' of 'Hello' (Bad Girl Good Girl). Repeated only 'lo' straight 8 hours If people saw all of those shows may know he used different standard depend on the level of participant What he was doing during Nizi Prject was exactly same as what he did at 99% Challenge Project about 20 years ago. The standard for very young kids or amateur except those 4 JYP trainees. If he judged like all other auditions, yes, Akari still be the 1 of Nina's team and his point would be 80 - 82. However, Nina's team would receive 55-60 or might be he stopped the stage before they finished it. However, he said 'nothing to regretful' TooGrown said 'He really loves her'. Usually when JYP says like that, it means 'Now you're ready to be judged as audition participant' Rima got 100. I also agree she did well. But, if people know about JYP, his 100 is much higher than this one If anyone remember Jamie (Park Ji-min)'s 'Over the rainbow', that was 99/100 There were few things what JYP told I.O.I when he produced 'Very Very Very' Honestly say, I only saw one of them and could not see any other from Team Mihi. "It was much more than I expected" He kept saying this entire Nizi project. I think his expectations of Nizi participants were a lot lower than others.

I'm not a vocal or dance coach but I sing and play bass in my band so I feel confident to give you my judgement here. Nina's voice is absolutely flawless but since she's not a good dancer she has a problem with finding the right spots to breath during this very intense choreo. Riria's and Akari's voices were extremely shaky and flat during the practise session, so I had to agree with you. Mayuka on the other hand adapts pretty well and although she had difficulties in the beginning she did well later. There are some other issues I find are very important. Nina is the only member of this group who had a good sense for rhythm and harmonizing. Riria wasn't horrible at it but that's because Nina did a great job at teaching her all the lines. As for the performance... I liked it but they often rushed or dragged during the chorus. Especially the first "Let's dance the..." was rushed as hell. But it's a very difficult song so it's hard to evaluate it. I'd give it an 9/10 (I wanted to give it an 8 but because of their great teamwork I added a point). What surprised me the most is that Akari sang very well during the performance and although she was hurt you couldn't see it in her movement at all. I'm a fan of harmonization so I liked Riria's voice as well. But again... without Nina it wouldn't have been so good. As for Team Miihi... I really like Miihi but her "my pace" character (there are a lot of japanese idols who are like her) isn't made for her being a team leader. And since Ayaka is the same I was a bit worried. And when Miihi didn't come to the dance practise I expected them to fail. But I looove "very very very" by IOI (you should definitely react to it!) so I was still hoping for a good performance. Ayaka had a finger under her nose to feel the air while singing. When air comes out of your nose while producing a sound, it sounds nasal and not very good. You should try it :) Stop the air flow through your mouth while singing and the air leaves the nose. The produced nasal sound (represented with a tilde as in ã or õ) is used in french for example. But we don't want to have it in english, korean or japanese singing. But enough of my linguist nerding... I don't have much to say about their practise because they didn't show much but what I saw was good. Rima did a great job keeping Miihi updated with all the details and Ayaka had a very steep learning curve. But the performance? Oh dear... I might be biased because I love this song so much... But I'd give it a 10/10. There's literally nothing to say about it except that it blew me away. You could nitpick that their tempo wasn't perfect, but this made the performance even cuter. And that's what the song is about. It was the perfect choice for Miihi and Ayaka, but Rima didn't feel out of place either. All of them deserved JYPs praise. After such amazing performances I don't want to choose a winner. But for me Team Miihi was just perfect so they won. It's such a pity that you lose with such a good performance. Poor JYP... XD

I agree jyp has amazed me before even watching sixteen. I saw him on kpop star and when he was on the unnies season 1. Hes still the same pretty much and yeah the expectations for nizi participants were definitely much lower. I guess from all his experience he realised people will still like idols who arent that great skill wise and also he knows he can train them gradually to be better

Anonymous

the song was "very very very" by (I.O.I ) they are a disbanded group formed on a survival show. SOMI was a member.

Yarden00

the song very very is sung by girls who won another survival show called produce101. Now that group has disbanded but theirs a lot of idols in that group who are now in other groups or as a soloist. Besides somi, the most successful from that group ended up being chungha who is now a popular soloist

RushRush

The song is ( very very very ) by I.O.I .. Interesting facts about the song and group, after TWICE 16 show ended , there was another survival show on TV to make a new girl group but this time all the 101 contestants were trainees from different agencies like JYP Entertainment, Cube entertainment and others. There were judges and voting and different challenges the 101 girls went through until the final group was formed and the girls were chosen based mostly on votes. Somi was still a JYP trainee and she participated in the show and by the end she was the center of the group who got the highest evaluation and votes. when the final group was formed they went to JYP to produce a song for them and they made the song ( very very very ) and it was a hit.

You should take a look at the MV of Snow Flower (Yukino Hana) by the original singer, Mika Nakashima too😃
