“Shoutout” to Mr Jackpots for spoiling this episode

Trillium

Sana's speaking voice is so soothing. I would really like to see her get to MC more.

Trillium

Yes, all the final performance songs are on the pre-debut album.

Skitch____

That! or she can just read me a bed time story every night... Is that too much to ask? 🤪

A.D

not a spoiler but important: idk if anyones told you but the mv is actually their pre-debut (already over 100 mil views!) but they debut officially soon. also the stray kids bit is cut out of ep 10 for copyright so when you see a weird cut, you know what it was

Scott Adams

Sana's voice when speaking Japanese man...I could listen to her announce my whole life. MC Sana is best MC ever.

Scott Adams

BRO, at 11:10 I'm watching elegant MC Sana announce the girls and I just had a flashback to her in 15+1 doing the rice paper thing where she was so goofy and kiddish. She's so grown up now. (I mean let's be real she's still silly Sana but she can definitely turn on the switch when she wants to)

Scott Adams

Yeah having Mako on your team is a pretty big advantage. You know you've got a stable strong performer, singer, dancer who also has strong leadership skills. Basically she's an ace up your sleeve.

Scott Adams

27:00 I think BGM is background music

Scott Adams

The Mako team song really does feel Itzy too me too. Powerful choreo, strong raps and vocal lines, and very sharp changes in tempo/style throughout the song. That's Itzy all over. Also Akari really impessed me in this one.

Thao_p

Debut rap line🔥🔥

This is what I’ve been preaching the past 2 comebacks. SANA is sooo different now, like .. wow 😳😳😳

Anonymous

2PM’s Woo Young is actually a really nice guy. He don’t want to hurt the girls with his criticism but this is the survival show. I don’t see anything wrong with strong criticism. I don’t know but it’s just my perspective.

Jonah Passi

Sorry braddah. I was gonna warn you about the family messages this episode. But it would have been a spoiler. At least I felt like it'd be. I mean you got spoiled about Sana and Momo being here. So I just kept quiet about everything.

Kyle Twitch
>>43577147

Nothing wrong with the strong criticism I just thought only JYP would be doing it because I knew MOMO would say nothing harsh haha

Scott Adams

I actually like Boom Boom Boom better. And that shuffle step from Maya and Riku, the facial expressions and vocals from Nina, Rima doing her thing and Miihi bro...That's a tough group to pick a bias out of.

Kyle Twitch
>>43577469

haha no worries! I'm glad you didn't spoil it but also mad that you didn't warn your boy! haha

Thao_p

They have 4 songs in there album 1. Baby I’m a star 2. Boom Boom Boom 3. Beyond the Rainbow 4. Song next episode

SIMP4BORA

Sana sounds like a anime character like wht the hell she will be so perfect for a anime character role

JANVIÉR
>>43577777

Yeah BBB was also my preferred. The way Riku, Rima & Nina deliver the line is just so cool

Thao_p

And when you finish Nizi Project you have NIZI 9 Stories. Basically a deep dive behind the scenes interview style of each member during there time at Nizi Project day 1 - debut.🔥🔥

JANVIÉR

I am so ready for my comments for the next episode! I have so much to say! Hahah

Carl Dungca

I think having Mako on your team can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on how well you're able to rise to the occasion. Certainly her leadership and ability to pass on her years of training to other teammates can elevate a team and potentially shore up a person's weak points, but you're also sharing a stage with her, and if there's too far a discrepancy in skill levels, it can reflect poorly not only on the person falling short, but also on Mako's leadership abilities (as was brought up in one of the past episodes). Thankfully, we've seen plenty of the other finalists rise to the occasion, in leadership roles within their sub-teams, and there is a demonstrable difference in the girls who seek out help versus those unwilling to ask for it. What's arguably more important than single superstar is team uniformity. I'm an avid Dancing with the Stars fan, and that show has a wide gulf in capabilities of the celebrities that are cast. However, the approach that the coaches/pro dancers bring when designing choreography for their performances really shades how the overall package will be received. It's not necessarily the most fairly balanced show, but ostensibly, over the several seasons, any given pro will be given both naturally gifted partners and those that are less so. In cases of the latter, often times, the coach will "over-dance" to make up for the inability of the celebrity partner, in an effort to elevate the whole dance. In effect, this largely just exposes the weakpoints of the celebrity. You usually see examples of this as the celebrity standing in one place, hitting poses every so often, and the pro dancer doing flashy stuff orbiting all around them. Conversely, a coach may adapt their own "level" of dance to be more even with their partner, so that less of a disparity is on show. IMO, Derek Hough is one of the TOP young dancers in America because of this compassion for his partners and his often genius adaptations to that celebrity partner's capabilities. One of his partners was a double-amputee, Amy Purdy, whose legs were amputated below the knee. You'd expect that to result in the same kind of mobility problem as described above. Certainly, in early stages of the season, she was largely stationary, but he adapted his choreography around what she COULD do without much "walking around." In this performance, he has her largely sitting on a table, using her arms and upper-body to move around, instead. And without the need to remain balanced when standing, they implemented some swinging of her prosthetic legs for lower-body dynamics. https://youtu.be/Tp9kgtFcT5k

>>43580352

oh wow I'll have to check this out! And yes I also believe uniformity is very important when it comes to dance

Carl Dungca

BGM = Background Music Oh, and there absolutely plenty of warnings that the final stretch would be absolute sob-fests. Just as with pretty much anything in life, "the ending" is not just one moment, but a descending series of events. But you're right: Grown Squad is family, so let's all cry together! That's why we're all here watching the show with you!

Anonymous

I could be wrong, you seem so surprised about new songs going to them before they even debut. Isnt that the same as what happened at the end of 15+1? 1 new song for each and then the 2nd song they both performed?

Nifuruc

I'm really excited right now because I can't say anything specific yet... But your member choices were very interesting! Next week will be such a relief for you and us who don't want to spoil anything. So prepare yourself for dozens of detailed comments! Counting with fingers is pretty common if you want to reconstruct a song. All songs are in 4/4 so you want to know where the 1 is, what is happening there (downbeat, bass/snare, delayed beat, extended/shortened measure, etc.) and you definitely want to know where the singing starts and where you breathe. It's not perfect because there can be syncopated notes (between 1-4, usually stylized as "and"), but the song "over the rainbow" is pretty straight forward and easy to break apart. Those who are good at music theory can use it to bring structure into the performance and that's what Mako is doing there. But I guess all the members have learned the basics. It's also very important to note, that "breathing" is a percussive element in a song. In live performances it's important that every member breathes at the same position. For studio recordings you can edit it out, but it's a lot of work and it takes time. So you better do a good job at remembering it during recording or else someone will be very upset. Team Mako: Over the rainbow is an amazing song and you know what? You're right... it does sound like an Itzy song. Maybe it's even a leftover song because right before the show JYP wrote a lot of songs for Itzy for their album. That totally makes sense and I haven't thought about it. But as for the performance... I really don't know how to rate this because it's original and incomparable. We don't have to talk about Mako because she killed it as always. But beside her only Rio stood out. I'm not sure about Akari and I'd like to go back to watch it again to see what you saw. Maybe I'm also biased because now that I've seen it for the 3rd time I kinda focused on Rio and Mako way too much. They were also way too nervous, but who'd blame them? 8/10. Fun fact: The original title for "over the rainbow" is 虹の向こうへ "niji no mukou e". 虹 "niji" means "rainbow" and is indeed the japanese way for writing "Nizi". It's also the correct way to say the name. It's not a secret for Japanese but many western fans seem to pronounce the name wrong. And the song title also tells me that while the song might be written for Itzy, the lyrics are definitely not! You should check out the lyrics again. ^^ They're beautiful and perfectly fit the group. Team Maya: I'm not a big fan of that song. BUT this performance was flawless and they didn't show any nervousness. To make it short - this is a 10/10. I simply can't find anything I could criticize. If I had to pick 2 members who stood out it would be Nina and Rima, but Maya did a nice job as well although she didn't have many moments. It almost feels like she wanted the other members to shine like a proud mom. Their teamwork was absolutely professional and if you told me before this performance that they were professional artists I'd believed you. By the way, hearing JYP's evaluation shows me how much I suck at evaluating dancing. He completely ignored Nina and praised Riku, but that's fine with me. Can we talk about Sana for a moment? You know she's such a goofball but she sounded like a professional host as if she'd done nothing else in her life. She's come a long way and I'm so proud of her! And it must be hard for Momo to say anything but nice things to these girls... You can literally feel her struggle because you can't forget that she's a professional. She has been for 5 years now and she sees all the "mistakes" and the nervous ticks... Know what I mean? You just have to love Momo... P.S.: Sorry but not sorry... ^^ I'd never spoil anything that would change your reaction... I was even kinda angry that someone spoiled Sana and Momo in the comments last week! Now... Final stage... Let's do this!

Carl Dungca

Mako Team (Mako, Ayaka, Yuna, Rio, Akari, Riria) – “Beyond the Rainbow” • Vocal – 10 Look, Ayaka’s pitch is still a little flat, but her tone is consistent and getting fuller. You can notice the improvement every single performance. Otherwise, great vocals from everyone, and the vocal blend for the group is great. Even Yuna is delivering with power now; same with Rio. Mako’s breathing during her belting lines no longer leaves her thin. Akari’s voice has great soulful texture. • Dance – 10 Girls danced confidently, in synch, and with the right levels of energy at the right time. • Face – 10 Solo shots showed dynamic expressions when the girls were giving their lines. • Group Interaction – 10 Girls are hitting their marks in complex interleaving formation changes without any visible confusion. Shapes and levels look consistent. • Best Flavor – n/a, but probably Yuna I don’t know that I can really give a fair judgement here because each girl’s line expressed a different kind of correlating feeling, so they’re not really being judged on the same thing. However, because the song is about overcoming your self doubts and rising to the occasion, the person who embodies that kind of transformation most in this team is Yuna.

I kinda disagree... The way she speaks there is similar to news anchors in Japan. However, you might hear this in anime that don't take place in a fantasy world and has to do with japanese media. She uses "keigo", a very polite level of grammar, and even adresses Momo as "Momo-san" (which even sounded funny to me but is absolutely common). There is nothing comparable in English but news anchor have this very specific way of talking and phrases no one else would use outside of this context. "Back to you, [name]" ^^

Carl Dungca

For context re: Maya's video package: When her family mentioned her leaving home to go to Tokyo after finishing Middle School, she became a YG Japan trainee. IMO, at no point in either of these two seasons has she demonstrated that hard-edged, bad-ass vibe associated with YG artists, but I think she's been a great "nurturing mother" during the time we've seen her under JYP's training.

Carl Dungca

Maya Team (Maya, Nina, Rima, Miihi, Mayuka, Riku) – “Boom Boom Boom” • Vocal - 9 I’m NOT a fan of the vocoder effect used in the verses, and overall, I think the robotic vibe of the song makes expecting a well-blended vocal blend sort of antithetical to the point… What’s there though, seemed “right.” Of the team tasked with the low end (Riku, Miihi, Maya), I think Maya did the best, but probably just because her segment isn’t intentionally robotically monotonous. Overall, I think they hit what they needed to, and no one seemed “off.” That one point deduction for lack of dynamics is arguably more the vocal arrangement’s fault than the singers themselves. • Dance – 8 Maybe due to her tallness, but Nina was on numerous occasions just a little off-pace with her movements, and shapes not quite lining up. Also the major spread-out formation about 1/3 of the way in seemed a bit sloppy, but it could be because of the camera angle and how their costuming hid their silhouettes against the stage and lighting effects. I’m largely impressed by the quite consistent shapes during the two in-line ticking body waves. The foot spacing in that raised-fist two-step/Charleston combo was only about 2/3 consistent between the members. • Face – 8 I think only Nina and Rima (and to a lesser extent Riku and Maya) hit that ice-cold fierceness that the song required. Nina and Rima had truly excellent facial dynamics, though, largely in the eye looks. This song demands smirks, not smiles. • Group Interaction – 10 Several really nice illusions in this choreo, and the girls pulled them off cleanly and sharply. • Best Flavor – Nina and Rima (tie) So fierce. I wonder if it's because these two are the most "Westernized," where this kind of bad-ass attitude is de rigueur, versus the meekness of East Asian cultures.

Mr Jackpots

Woo Young said the same thing to both teams, basically, 'you're nervous, you shouldn't be nervous'. That's it. Not sure why he was even there.

Anonymous

I think you may have missed what JYP said for the end when they chose what team won, he did say that Maya's team did better but because he had such higher expectations for then he essentially said for them to not count on that for their choice in winner. He's been doing it the entire show, if a trainee isn't very good but she's doing way better she's getting positive reviews, the ones who are better but don't show it are getting negative reviews even if the latter is still performing above the former.

I'm biting my tongue and waiting for you to watch the final episode before I share comments. 🤐 The real question is: Are you going to watch/react to the pre-debut MV after you finish Episode 10? Oh and I believe they filmed episodes 9 and 10 on the same night (this based off the commentary from the Dance Trainers reactions).

Bunny AdiXion

So I'll keep it short or else it would be hard to not spoil for me haha :P Boom x3 was my fav perf among the 2 (and it has nothing to do with the fact that this song is my fav from the mini-album lol) There's nothing bad to say about the perf and it's clearly a 9.9 for me (can't say 10 since I still have Miihi's "Nobody" in mind) Also. your actual final 9 is pretty interesting ngl... Can't wait for next week and see your reaction :P

Chewwwy

So I guess he will have the same heartbreaking moment as I am when I heard his top9. Not gonna say anything, but I follow her IG posts and seeing her I am still hurting for her.

Nifuruc
>>43586931

But maybe he's right...? Who knows? For "not gonna say anything" you say a lot...

Chewwwy
>>43586931

Well it will still be hearbreaking to lose anyone right. And I said not gonna say anything which means spoiler. Godbless you.

Phion

Baby I'm a star performance video is out. You should react to it after the show is over.

pg.nt

I already watched this ep. but I still hope Day6 was also included when Sana introduced JYP artists, although I know they are in a band.

Carlo Cacho

Once please recommend TooGrown iconic Vlives in order as well. Those will truly help with early inside jokes and surely there are plenty of hilarious and amazing moments that cannot be missed. Here's a few off the top of my head from LOA era Kindergarten Concept Chaeyoung solo broadcast (Nayeon visits her bunkbed) Mina surprise broadcast (Ninja Mina) Momo dance broadcast (1st and one of the few times Momo shows all sorts of styles and covers) TWICE practice room (first vlive since debut in old JYP building practice room, legendary moment of members imitating each other's first impressions especially Nayeon's take on Mina) Jeju Island 1&2 School Meal Club going to school/arcade

Bennime

I wouldnt rly say that makos teams have an advantage. i feel like jyp always puts like the "weaker" performers on her team because he knows that if there is a person that can bring the best out of the people its her. She is the most experienced.

Bennime
>>43619671

also when jyp said mayas team had the better performance, that was just his evaluation. in the end he discussed it with momo and the 2pm guy for a final judgment.

James Mclean

It's actually 8 from 10,000 as 4 of them were originally in JYPE so didn't go through the Audition Process

Mr. Sandals

Just to help a brother out with the pronunciation. It's MAyuka and AYaka. Not MAYUkaa and ayAaaKA. So the weight should be on the first one or 2 letters in there names. Hope it's making sence spelling it this way :) It's basically short and faster pronunciations than what you do. Think Naruto(also huge fan here). Its NAruto and SAkura. Only when Susuke say narUTOOOOO for dramatic effects this word sound changes(when shouting angrily and stuff). Great reaction as usual :D

Anonymous

Do you plan on making the pre-debut mv reaction on YT or Patreon after you finish Nizi Project? Great reaction as always bro! Keep it up! ^_^

i thought everyone was auditioning even if they were JYPE trainees :o

I'm gonna stop you right there my boy :) I was born and lived in Japan for almost 15 years and grew up watching Naruto and can say it's pronounce "naruTO" and "SAkura" or "sakuRA" (both ways are correct) 👍🏻

James Mclean
>>43720296

The 10k mentioned are the ones went to the different venues to audition, so that's what I was referring to, the JYPE Trainees were fast tracked to the final stage of Selections, I forget how many got to that stage

AkoSiMax

Is that...the old TWICE dorm?

awendt

PLEAse react to their pre-debut album
