When BE:FIRST Stops Chasing Approval And Starts Owning The Room

WEBVTT
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.000
Thank you for joining us here at Music Elixir.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.559
I am Sarashi, and with me is Mr.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:27.679
Japanic.
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:37.759
If you are following us on Music Elixir underscore, that will be on X Twitter or on Blue Scan at Music Elixir Pod.
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:47.200
I actually or we send out a announcement just saying, hey, besties, we're going to be talking about be first.
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:47.759
Watch.
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:48.880
Watch me.
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:54.799
So I also wanted you or you or you you or besties.
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.359
Everybody, anybody to partake on this conversation.
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:06.879
So there was a questionnaire, five questions, and wow, we received 140 answers.
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:07.680
Not bad.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.640
140 besties participated in this questionnaire, and that's awesome.
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:13.359
Yes, definitely.
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:14.079
That is awesome.
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.000
Because we always ask, you know, hey, this is an open conversation.
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:24.799
And I think this time was I best more encouraging just because there's already the questions there.
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.719
They don't have I didn't ask for emails or anything that we don't need any of that.
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.519
I mean, if you want to, you know, say, hey, this is handle blah blah, that would be great.
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.120
But nobody did, which is fine.
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:46.959
Because I think people feel feel that if they answer anonymously, they're more free to speak what they feel about the songs or you know, of the question.
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:47.280
Yeah.
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.239
So yay, I like this.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:51.280
Well, you have to do this.
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.519
Well, so that's the that's the magic magic ingredient is to have an actual questionnaire.
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.400
Then people will converse.
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.280
So I that hey, we're still evolving on this podcast.
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:12.879
So from now on, if we are going to do that, we're just gonna go ahead and be like, hey, we have this questionnaire for these songs.
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:13.919
What do you think?
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.599
Send it over, you know?
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.080
Yep.
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:17.520
And that's awesome.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:23.680
But we all know, or I well, you and I know that Bestie is very passionate about Be First.
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:34.719
Oh, yes, they are, and it because even any given time when I am on OK Asia putting something out there, they are on top of it supporting their boys, and that is awesome.
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.080
Yes, it is, definitely.
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:41.280
So as I as I mentioned, we're gonna talk, we're going to talk about watch me.
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.520
Now, the past two episodes, we have been just answering questions.
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:52.479
We're not we're not doing the whole, well, I think the song B B B B B Idium Ma.
00:02:53.759 --> 00:03:01.280
So we have changed the approach for the past two episodes, and it has been giving some good feedback.
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.199
Yeah, there's actually more people listening.
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.400
Yeah, I think people like that sort of that format.
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.240
They've been enjoying that format.
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:15.199
Because it's yeah, it's more about just like the experience with the music as opposed to what is the music.
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:16.159
You know what I mean?
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.439
So yeah, because I I think everybody knows what is the song about or what John Drive is about.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:28.800
And well, people who weren't familiar with it, that might help a little, but people who already know the music, yeah, they're like, Well, what else?
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:29.360
What else?
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.080
So yeah.
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.960
I also think it's the answers might also or the questions might also spark like, really?
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:35.919
Yeah.
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:45.280
Maybe just go over there and be like, Well, I think when I heard it, da da da, which we had at least a couple of people participated on the J01.
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.360
Somebody did actually one of Jams actually answered to our question.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.680
They went on X Twitter and answered on that.
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:52.560
So that's yay.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.759
So maybe next time we'll do a questionnaire for Jam.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.639
And we can hear, you know, we we want to hear what they're saying.
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.120
We want let's yeah, yeah, definitely.
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:08.400
So also when we did the one for this and that, we didn't put a questionnaire, but somebody said, I like this.
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:09.840
So that was it.
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.759
So we went with that.
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.840
I'm like, see the questionnaire thing is good.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.840
Okay, so we're rolling with it.
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:17.519
All right.
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:23.120
Well, like I said, it is it's a little more spontaneous and a little more interactive.
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:23.600
Yes.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:24.079
You know?
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:24.560
Yes.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.240
Gets everybody thinking.
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:26.879
Yes.
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.759
Because even I was stumped a couple of times with questions.
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.160
I was like, oh, I hadn't thought of that.
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.560
Oh, let me think about that.
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.639
So now Sarah and I have different questions than Bestie's.
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:53.360
So, Bestie, if any of these questions that we are going to answer, you will like to participate, please let us know.
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:53.680
Yeah.
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:55.759
It sparks your interest too.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:57.439
And you want to respond?
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.879
If if you're like, how come that question wasn't on the questionnaire?
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:01.839
I want to answer it.
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:02.639
Go for it.
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:03.120
I won't.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.759
We will love to hear from you in your own language.
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:06.399
Doesn't matter.
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:07.759
We all we translate.
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:08.959
There's Google Translate.
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:10.879
We've been using Google Translate, you know.
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.279
We're not sponsoring Google Translate, but that's the most free available thing we have there.
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.160
We are not really tight budget.
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:26.720
If we can get something for free and use it for free, hey! And it works well, hey.
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:28.879
Works well enough, yeah.
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:29.680
Oh yeah.
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:35.920
Sometimes we've had issues, but uh but you know it gets the general idea across usually.
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.680
You know, when it's for free, don't expect something, you know.
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.319
If you do, if it works like splendidly, hey, that's that's a total win.
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:49.040
But I don't expect I don't expect that you know high quality for anything free.
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:50.639
But well Google tries.
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:51.519
Google tries.
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:52.160
They do.
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:52.720
Okay.
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:59.920
Anyway, so what grab you on the first listen of Watch Me, of the AP?
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.879
Like which song, or what in general happened?
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.000
Like you listened to the whole album and just the what grabbed you from it.
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:19.600
Well, what grabbed me was the sort of introductory song, the the first song, reminded me of like Master Plan.
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.560
So it sort of took me back and I was like, okay, this is reminiscent.
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.319
It wasn't exactly the same.
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.839
But so it was a familiar sound for me.
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.279
So it drew me in.
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.040
I was like, okay, this is good.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:40.800
But then what I noticed was that there were definitely two tracks that were to me completely different than the sound I was really sort of used to from Bee First.
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.040
So those really drew me in.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:51.600
And then so overall, I was like, there's a sense of familiarity, but there is also evolution going on.
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.959
They're they're mixing it up a little, they're trying something new.
00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:02.720
And then the other thing I noticed, there's at least three songs where they mention like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes.
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.519
I was like, what's with all the okay the brand ambassadorship guy?
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.199
So that's how grab you from the first listen was yeah, I was finished.
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:18.879
Well, because I was like in the in I think it's in Bruce Wayne's, you know, my Louis bag, and I was like, I think that's a reference to Louis Vuitton, whatever.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.959
But then like Watch Me, no, was it Watch Me?
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.000
No, Cagliastro with the the new Chanel.
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:26.959
I was like, What?
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.600
So so those two hit me on the first listen.
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.480
I didn't catch on to Hermes and whatever till like later listens.
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:35.600
I'm like, okay.
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:41.360
I keep hearing fashion icons throughout the songs.
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.040
Okay, okay.
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.160
What it grabbed me was actually like their attitude and their growth.
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.279
I mean, they've been together since 2021, but they beauted in 2022.
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:59.439
I'm just really just proud of their development since that time.
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.319
So that's what just grabbed me was their growth since then.
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.079
So I'm happy about that.
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.000
That was that that was that was my that was my my from the first listen.
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.000
I'm like, wow, since then until now, development and growth.
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:15.120
Yep, evolution.
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.399
Evolution.
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.240
Yeah, that's like I said, that's what really really caught me.
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.600
But like I said, when she was chanting, you know, the new Chanel.
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.000
I was like, what's going on?
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:34.320
Now with that being said, because you weren't going for songs, which song made you immediately hit replay?
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:44.320
I actually think it was Paper Scars because I there was something about it that was very alluring.
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:51.440
The the musically, their voices, the idea, you know, thinking about what paper scars means.
00:08:51.519 --> 00:09:02.559
So I wanted to hear it again, like almost immediately, and also that sort of just totally different sound from everything else on the album.
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:05.279
I really just something about that song.
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:10.480
And everybody knows, like, I'm the like, oh, I love those dance beats and I love the chant kind of stuff.
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.639
And I and I'm like, nope, I think my favorite song is Paper Scarf.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:15.440
That's a surprise.
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:16.879
The from yeah, right?
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:17.600
That's a surprise.
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.879
Because I'm like, I'm like the one that has the bass and the boom boom boom.
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:21.440
I'm like, right?
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.759
No, I really do, but something something about that song just I don't know.
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:37.679
It it brought all kinds of imagery to my head, and I was like, it's sort of dreamy, but also bittersweet, and sort of I was like, they're seem to just so it gave you image, yeah.
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:38.639
So it gave you image.
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.720
Yeah, it totally did.
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.399
Nice for me.
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:55.200
It was watch me with VI, just because of the the vibe, uh actually the vibe that I've been having lately, like the whole like look at me, you know, like just go.
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.279
I like the parts like let's go shopping.
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.279
Yeah, like I'll go shopping.
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.720
Anybody says, let's go shopping.
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.320
If you're buying, honey, go for it.
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:03.679
Let's go, let's go.
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.919
If any other members wants to go shopping with me and buy me everything, go for it.
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:22.559
But it's because I don't know, for some reason I'm resonating with it because of me in radio, music, elixir, the podcast, you know, the creating, the communication, and uh that just matters for me.
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.679
And then they're watch me, watch me, da-da-da.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:32.799
You know, so I'm like, you know, I'm vibing that because you know that's what lately my vibe has been going for me personally.
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:47.759
It's like creating the programs, communicating with fans, also making playlists, and just you know, just the words and the actions just really resonate within me, with what's I'm I'm currently vibing right now.
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.639
So watch me's been my my replay song.
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:55.600
Well, they're definitely the it's got a good like hook to it that watch me, watch me.
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:57.600
Yeah, boop, boop, watch it.
00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:58.559
You know what I mean?
00:10:58.799 --> 00:10:59.679
There it is.
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:00.879
It's a very cool song.
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.200
And when you're doing something, when I've been cre you know, creating playlists and whatever, and I'm like, watch me, watch me.
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.879
So I I'm like, yeah.
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.600
I'm kind of like be first, but not really.
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:18.320
I mean, I'm in the media, I'm in the public, you know.
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.720
So yeah, watch me, watch me.
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:21.919
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:31.360
And that attitude just gave me the umph of like, yeah, this is why I'm vibe is vibing so much because it's resonating with what I'm doing personally.
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.919
Yeah, no, it's definitely a good attitude song.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.360
That was right when you were about to say I was like, It's attitude.
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.600
Yes, it's confidence.
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.480
It's like, mm-hmm, here I am, you know.
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:43.120
So yeah.
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.200
Now, next question.
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.679
Is B first showing a new side of themselves?
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.200
I would say yes.
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:56.559
Because there's like I said, there's expansion going on, there's new sounds coming in.
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:02.240
They're definitely the confidence, the attitude is coming through more.
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:09.679
Like, I think that they're sort of noticing themselves now and being like, This is who we are.
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:17.919
Like, you think about Bruce Wayne and that that idea of the superhero and then just the man, like fitting into it.
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.639
So they've got their idol, and then they're I'm just a regular kid from the neighborhood, you know.
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:31.279
So I feel like they're sort of previously it was about reaching out and grabbing the world, and now they're sort of like, well, here we are.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:38.080
We want to be part of everything with you, but we also know we stand out a little now, you know?
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:38.799
Mm-hmm.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:53.519
So I like that analogy on Bruce Wayne because it's like you are a regular person, but then you have a persona that is out there, you know, vigilante, you know, that's supposed to be saving.
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.480
I know I I used superhero.
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:08.159
Yeah, he's more vigilante, but he's he has no mystical powers, he's just he's still a man going out and doing something, you know, to better the situation.
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:08.960
So yeah, right.
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.200
But yes, and that's how the idol versus the kid from the neighborhood, you know.
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.279
Yeah, so yeah, that's cool.
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.399
Um, I'm vibing with you, of course.
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:23.679
You know, they are you know changing themselves, the group is evolving.
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:32.960
They're not just the sound, I mean, from from 2021 to like I mean, they had to change their lineup significantly.
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.840
So that also is gonna change the rest of the group.
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:40.480
They had to pivot to create a different sound, create a new dynamic too.
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:50.399
You know, without that other member, they have to completely change not ranks, but like, okay, so now we don't have this tone, we gotta change it.
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.240
We don't have this, you know, type of attitude, now we gotta change it.
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.159
Like, not take the persona of the other one, right?
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.879
But we have to pivot to what we are, and they did that yeah, just beautifully.
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.519
Yeah, then this album beautifully, they have actually transitioned very well as as who they are right now.
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.759
They they're doing a fantastic job, definitely.
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:17.279
They are so yeah, showing a new side of themselves completely, yes, 100%.
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.200
Lady, okay.
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.840
All right, moving on to the next question.
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.559
Which song grow on you after multiple listens?
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.600
Ah I don't know.
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:41.440
I because I I pretty much liked them all from the beginning, and then I slowly developed like, ooh, I really like this one more.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.720
So my example, you know, paper scars really just something about it struck me right away.
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:52.960
Cagliostro really struck me right away, and again, because they were sort of more different sounds.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.279
So maybe I don't know.
00:14:55.519 --> 00:15:04.000
It's not so much that they grew on me, but that I sort of started appreciating everything differently for different reasons.
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:13.519
Like, I don't I maybe I would say dead eyes, because at first I was kind of like, this one's a little like I uh menacing.
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:30.960
But then I sort of was trying to think about it, and I'm like, you know, maybe it sort of made me think of like a reflection on society, how everybody's so busy being on their phones and on their screens and social media all the time that like you go to talk to someone and they're like dead eye like a zombie.
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:42.000
So I think maybe that one might have had to grow on me because I was just like, This what yeah, like when you said dead as somebody looking up on being on their phone, it's like why are you bugging me?
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.240
Like, I'm on this phone right now.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.039
You get me off that trance, like, yeah.
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.840
Yeah, they're just sort of like some people get like that.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.720
There's like way up, you know, like I know I get like that after a full day at work.
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.559
Someone talks to me, I'm like, what?
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:04.799
When that happens, and my the the computer, the screen is like, you know what?
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.919
Getting up, I'm getting up, walking away, walking away.
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:10.799
Even my coworkers are like, I'm walking away.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:12.240
It's like, oh no, what happened?
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:13.679
I'm like, I just need to go walk away.
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:21.919
Okay, need to walk away, take a breather, and I do because it's like it's like this this this machine is pissing me off.
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.360
I gotta walk away and then come back and tackle it again.
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:32.720
And then that works, and then we're like, oh, okay, so this is what you want me to do, because you don't want me to do what I want to do.
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.919
Anyways, for me was actually paper scars.
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:38.879
Oh, really?
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:46.879
Yeah, just because it sounded like familiar to the beginning, so I was like, oh, this kind of sounds familiar, you know.
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:54.559
But then after repeat listens and just focus on the vocals because the vocals were oh my god, yeah, they were so good.
00:16:54.720 --> 00:17:01.679
At the end, I just started to sing along to it because it's like, wow, okay, especially the whole I need you.
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.759
I'm like, oh, okay.
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:17.680
So Paper Star was like, yeah, the one that I needed to re because we were listening to it, so going to repeat, and then when it kept coming, I was like, okay, here comes the the whole like sad guitar thing.
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.440
I was like, okay, here's the ballad.
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:21.039
And I'm like, let's see how this is gonna sound.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.160
I'm like, okay.
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.000
And then again, I'm like, all right.
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.039
So I'm like, you know what?
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:25.759
Let me focus.
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.160
I'm just listening more to the production instead of the vocals and the delivery.
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.160
And I'm like, let me just concentrate on the vocals and the delivery.
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:53.759
And then I was like, okay, this is what I needed to listen to, not to the production, but more on the vocals on the guys, see how they'll deliver, and you know, if I can hear the sadness and the sorrow, the sorrow, and you know, the longing, and the like, I'm like, okay, now I get it.
00:17:54.000 --> 00:18:01.440
This is what I needed to concentrate with on the guys, not really the music, because for me, composition-wise, kind of it's familiar.
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.880
But I think I ignored that when I was listening.
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.640
It was because it was their vocals were so different.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.920
And like I said, the words and everything were what I was what I was catching, you know.
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:22.000
So yeah, so paper scars was the one that I needed multiple listens to I can get like, let me get what really is.
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:27.519
I'm like, okay, music composition the same for vocals, nice, just really good.
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.000
Very good.
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.240
Yeah, when they do the I need you, I need to.
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:30.799
Oh yeah.
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.440
If I didn't grab your heart, I don't know.
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.160
If I did not grab your heart, I don't know.
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:37.680
That was really nice.
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:38.720
Really, really nice.
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:45.920
It was now which song will you put on the repeat playlist, on your repeat playlist?
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:52.319
Which we all have that I have multiple now.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.599
You can have more than one.
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.720
I know it says what song, but I have two.
00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:58.799
I was gonna say watch me.
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:04.880
And as much as I love paper scars, it's more of a certain mood.
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:09.519
So on something that you want to play a lot, it would be watch me and cogliastro.
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.240
Hey, are those the same?
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:16.960
Yes, yes, yeah, there's something about both of those.
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:18.640
Watch me and cagliastro.
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.799
And I like that they go like, you know, one goes first and the other one goes, and you're like, yeah.
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:25.200
Exactly.
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.559
I was like, so oh, go ahead, because I didn't want to interrupt you.
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:29.680
Why those two?
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:36.960
I think that because watch me is sort of like that that confidence, that attitude, that it's an anthem.
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.640
It's definitely got that, you know, type of rhythm to it.
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:51.039
And I don't know, Cagliasho musically, the the production of it and the the way the sounds work together, it's just really appealing to the ear.
00:19:51.279 --> 00:20:00.480
I'm not saying like that it's pretty, but I'm saying is the the actual sounds, like the way it's put together is just it clicks for me, anyways.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:01.519
It clicked for me.
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.759
Obviously, it clicked for you too, because that was one of your choices.
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:06.400
Yeah.
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:16.880
Watch me has been, like I said, my I don't know, the one that I have been, you know, clicking or just like it it personally, it's like my song.
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.880
Uh Cagliastro was there.
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:30.400
You know what it reminded me after the girls did they're chanting like this is the new channel, da-da-da-da, and then the beat drops.
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:37.440
That beat reminds me of a song that I love very much from back in the early 2000s.
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.119
It was from Kelly's My Milkshake.
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:41.920
Ah, okay.
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:47.440
But then it's just not my milkshake.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.680
So I was just like, oh, that sounds very familiar.
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.400
What excuse me?
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:56.240
Love.
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.079
So I was like, I kept, I'm like, wait a minute, let me let me start this again.
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.559
And I kept starting, and I was like, Yes, it does.
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.920
Sounds like Khalis.
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.799
What?
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:06.960
Okay, I love that.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.559
Yep, that's what I mean.
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:10.960
That production, that something about it catches you.
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.279
So, you know, so those two are like my I love the production of both of them.
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.440
I love their lyrics as well.
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:20.000
I was dancing, I was singing along.
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.160
Hello, we're just doing that a little bit now.
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:30.960
Of course, the attitude and the vibes, definitely, just because this just has that my shit don't stink kind of vibe.
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:33.200
And it is great for parties.
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:35.119
Those two songs are great for to party.
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:36.079
Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:42.240
You know, oh, so yeah, those are like the ones that are going to be uh my repeat playlist.
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:42.880
Now I got it.
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:46.640
Uh uh uh uh It's in my head.
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:55.279
Now when you listen, if okay, so those who do not know who Khalise is or my milkshake, I will put a link somewhere.
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.759
Just listen to it, and it's just that little part, it's just that beat that.
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:04.400
It's very in infectious.
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.640
So, you know, if you want to listen to my milkshake, if you don't know, you know.
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:10.079
But check it out.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:11.440
Because she was she was good.
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:12.160
She was good.
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:16.559
She just didn't stay in the music industry long enough.
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:17.599
Anyways.
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:18.960
Moving on.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.880
Moving on, moving on.
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:26.799
Now, do you do these songs feel like a new chapter for Be First?
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:28.400
I think so, yeah.
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:39.759
Because they're evolving, because they're they're being a little bolder in their statements, in their lyrics, in the overall feel and vibe of the album.
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:44.079
I think it's very much that Bruce Wayne idea, right?
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.359
We are idols, but we're also just these guys.
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:55.519
And we they're trying to to create and find that balance and project them because they still want to project themselves out there.
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.359
They still want to to grab the worldwide global audience.
00:22:59.519 --> 00:22:59.920
Oh yeah.
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.599
But they don't want to get lost in the mix, you know what I mean?
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.519
So I definitely I feel some some transition here.
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:09.839
We are vibing the same.
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:12.880
We are vibing the same.
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:14.160
Yes, of course.
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.839
This is a new chapter for them.
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:19.519
Because you know, they have an ambition to go globally.
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:33.759
When you just said that, they're like they're playing, they're mixing it up with mixing up sounds, just trying to catch people's attention, and just hoping to attract as many as they can outside of Japan.
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:38.960
And they're doing it little by little, you know, just everybody gotta think about this.
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:43.039
Is this a this is a marathon, this is not a sprint.
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:50.480
If you wanna be if as an idol, as an artist, of what you know, whatever, this is the work.
00:23:50.559 --> 00:24:01.200
You gotta put in the work, you gotta put this blood, sweat, and tears, yeah, the disappointments, the the the not disappointments, the the the wins and the losses and whatever.
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:03.680
So, yes, they've been around for that long.
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:13.039
Remember, they were in that pandemic time, you know, they were creating a very difficult time of our lives for those who actually lived it.
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:21.759
And, you know, but so as a group, and of course there were other groups that were also created around that time, they're not around anymore.
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:27.359
We first have stayed, you know, through the rehearsals and they're in the long haul.
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:28.480
We're continuing.
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:34.720
The group has something in mind is to be recognized globally, and they're doing it little by little.
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:36.640
Fans, thank you very much for doing that.
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:52.559
Because, you know, if it wasn't for fans, putting it out there, sharing, and saying, Hey, look at this group, and also just going outside of Japan and getting a hold of radio stations, or getting a hold of me, you know, people, you know, or other radio stations, they're not they're going for everybody.
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:54.079
Hey, listen to this one.
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.079
Can your radio station play this?
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:08.559
And you know, so they have a really good fandom, and for them, doing musical music or creating music for global spandom expandment, yeah, definitely.
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:14.559
This this album will be the new chapter of their lives to reach to start reaching that, to start climbing that.
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:17.519
Because this is not gonna be like, oh yeah, this is it.
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.559
No, they're just they're still on that marathon.
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:21.599
Yes, we're running.
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:22.880
This is just the beginning.
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.200
Oh my goodness, yeah, they just started the marathon, especially in the US.
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:28.319
Exactly, yeah.
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:31.359
You know, so I'm I'm very happy and proud of them.
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:35.839
So and the fans are being amazing, they're just super supportive, yes.
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:43.519
Yes, so now now this is a question, but I'm sure we're gonna be answering the questions from fans from from Bestie.
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:48.400
Now, what are fans going to debate about these tracks?
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.039
Hmm.
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:50.160
Just an idea.
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:52.799
Then I'll then I'll go and the answers.
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.200
What are they gonna debate?
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:56.480
I don't know.
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:02.319
Maybe the use of the collabs, that would be something to debate.
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.680
Because there was a lot of like extra people on some of the tracks.
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:13.599
So that would be something maybe people would be like, why did they use so many?
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:15.200
Or why do they have this?
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:16.160
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:23.119
So because that was that was one thing I noticed, and I'm not saying it's a good or a bad thing, it was just something I noticed.
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:28.240
I was like, there's you know, a lot of other people working in on these as well.
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:35.279
Yeah, and sometimes that can be good, sometimes it can like create an imbalance in what's going on, you know.
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.559
But luckily I liked all the songs, so it's okay.
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:45.039
For us, but I think that would be something all the songs I yeah, too many collabs.
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:52.799
I want to say one song would be enough, but then of course I'm not in production in music industry or anything like that.
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:58.160
I'm going by being a music addict and feeling it, you know.
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:03.759
But for an E B, yeah, for just five songs, too many collabs, yeah.
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:05.759
Definitely, definitely.
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.759
So, but let's get okay.
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.680
It's not necessarily a detraction, just observation.
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.880
There were, you know.
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:13.759
Exactly.
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.640
If it were a larger album, 10 songs or whatever, you wouldn't notice this as much.
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:29.200
So we would like to hear from Bestie on that one, yeah, you know, but now I'm gonna be I'm gonna be talking about or telling you the answers of the questions that I put out there for Bestie.
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:38.640
So one of the first questions is uh which song on Watch Me grab you first and what made you hit replay?
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:43.759
So, so if there's five songs, I'm gonna go with the you know what came number five.
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:45.359
So, what was the least one?
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:58.559
Bruce Wayne, really, Cagliastro was number four, and number three was Dead Eyes Everywhere, number two, paper scars, and number one, Watch Me.
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:07.200
So the song Watch Me was the one that grabbed the majority of the 140 besties, Watch Me seems to be the most popular.
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:15.440
That's interesting because according to Spotify, I was like, I want to look and see where Spotify Bruce Wayne is the most listened to.
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:25.519
You need to list, you need to remember that Bruce Wayne came out before So I wouldn't go with that just because Bruce Wayne was already out there before the EB.
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:27.119
So everybody had to listen to it.
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:40.079
So then then it lines, it lines up because Watch Me, if you discount Bruce Wayne, Watch Me is number one, paper scars number two, Cagliastro number three, and Dead Eyes Everywhere number four.
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:41.839
So that lines up.
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:42.640
It lines up.
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:46.880
I know because I went to Spotify and I was like, oh yeah, duh.
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:51.200
That one was the leading track, so that came out first, so it's gonna have the most spins.
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:52.640
So I can't go with that.
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.160
So besties, I feel you because I do feel the same.
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:01.119
But for my number two, it will be Calliastro, you know?
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:02.880
So you'd switch.
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:03.839
I will switch.
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:06.240
Mine will be like, watch me, Caliastro.
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:14.000
Besties, I'm with you because that was my you know, I'm with Besties, watch me.
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:16.079
Watch me number one.
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:27.839
All right, so their second question which B First members surprise you the most on this EP, vocally, lyrically, or performance-wise?
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:32.240
Now, all I got, the majority were just names.
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:38.960
There was one bestie who actually gave me like a breakdown, not two besties, gave me a breakdown.
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:45.839
So I was like, okay, cool, but I'm just gonna read those two besties because I think they they got the question.
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:52.640
So for vocals, they have Leo, for lyrics, monato, and for performance, sota.
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:58.000
And the other besties said for vocals, Leo, because they like their low-key voice.
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:08.319
For dance, Junan, because he's like an emotional dancer, and then and sexy, and then for uh lyrics, we have Monoto.
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.920
So that's kind of cool.
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:14.880
Okay, so thank you to those two besties that actually gave me the you know, they're wrong.
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:22.319
Yeah, Leo and Monoto were the Leo and Monoto seems to be the the most popular, or at least for this question.
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:34.160
Now, the next question is if you had to describe the overall vibe of watch me in three words, what will they be?
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:43.039
Now, this one I have to go to the questionnaire and just look because there were so many multiple answers.
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:47.359
This one Bessie that said attracted, attractive, and assertive.
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:49.200
I'm like, okay.
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.880
Another one said cool, groovy, bop.
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:57.200
Then one says villain, dark, and cool.
00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:57.920
Okay.
00:30:59.119 --> 00:30:59.839
I don't know.
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:00.799
Villain.
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.279
Yeah.
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:01.920
Villain.
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:06.000
Then we have one that says edgy, groovy, addictive.
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:07.440
That's really good.
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.240
Ego, ambition, attention.
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:13.759
Well, like attention seeking, maybe, like I guess.
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:14.880
Wanting attention.
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:17.759
Because that goes with ego and right, you know.
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:20.480
The other one is like, it's very cool.
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.039
They are very cool.
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:26.960
And then I have another one saying, born to be everything.
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:28.480
Okay.
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:34.079
Then one gives me this a sentence saying, Be first can be anything they want to be.
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.400
They can be artists, singers, rappers, dancers, idols, and so much more.
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:40.319
So, okay, that's more than three things.
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.240
That's more than three words.
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:45.039
Oh, I like this one.
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:52.480
I mean, it's not three words, but their answer is they don't have to fit into one category.
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:59.599
They can be anything, and that limitless possibility is what makes them be first.
00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:00.720
Oh, wow.
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:02.559
That's a really good answer.
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:03.759
That is a really good answer.
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:05.920
That best is like, I love my boys.
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:11.359
We have one here, unique, challenging, and incredible.
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:13.119
And let's see, one more.
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.839
One more.
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:18.079
Cool evolution and originality.
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:18.880
Wow.
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:20.559
Nice, nice, nice.
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:21.279
All right.
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.640
Let's go with someone else who likes the evolution.
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.680
Yes, that is what artists are all about.
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:29.119
You know, they evolve, you know.
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.720
They just, you know, that's what they do.
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:34.480
I mean, that's what artists are.
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.039
Okay.
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:41.519
So, which track do you think deserve more attention from bestie and why?
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:43.680
People were going off on this one.
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:46.160
People were going off on this one.
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:51.759
I have this one bestie said, Dead Eyes Everywhere, featuring ATL Jacob.
00:32:51.839 --> 00:33:00.319
The lyrics feel so true to be first, and I love how the song embodies the idea of be myself.
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:04.000
It feels like such a powerful expression of who they are.
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:09.519
I have another one that is also praising Dead Eyes Everywhere.
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:18.559
Uh, saying, I saw the performance on the world tour and thought the choreography is was amazing.
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:20.240
Another one with Dead Eyes.
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:21.440
Wow, wow.
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.519
I want everyone to watch it.
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:25.839
Their performance is very cool.
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:28.400
Alright, we have a paper scar.
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:37.119
Their groove and express expressiveness truly shine in slower songs like this.
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:38.640
It's incredible.
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:43.440
I find myself just standing there, completely absorbed in the music.
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:46.319
I'm honestly left speechless.
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:47.119
Alright.
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:48.400
I'm with you.
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:50.799
That that was like exactly it.
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.039
It just sort of mesmerized me.
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:54.960
So I'm I'm with that bestie.
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:55.440
All right.
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:56.160
I feel you.
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:57.279
That she feels you.
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:08.719
I have another one that says paper scars saying, It's interesting how songs that can be listened to with vocals without rap are conveying to overseas people.
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:11.199
Sarah's one.
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.400
Sarah's like, me, me.
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.599
But I was gonna say with the dead eyes, though.
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:20.239
Remember, I did say that was the one that sort of grew on me.
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:26.719
They they make some good points about the whole because there's a line in there about this being a blessing and a curse.
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:27.280
Yeah.
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:37.840
So, like, yes, the the ambition and the drive there, and reaching their success, getting getting to that point, it can be good and bad.
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:40.079
Like the whole persona of Bruce Wayne.
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:43.840
Yeah, like the way everything ties in is really pretty, pretty cool.
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:45.599
So this one's for Watch Me.
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:56.559
Well, Bestie says, Watch me, because I think this track will become a key reference for Be First as they expand their global activities from here on.
00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:58.000
Yes.
00:34:58.239 --> 00:34:58.880
Let's see.
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:00.880
Oh, we got a Cagliastro.
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:08.800
Woohoo! I was um I was truly amazed when I watched the world showcase video.
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:22.320
But then I have another Cagliastro saying, to share this experience with a wider audience, I would like to post some fan shots footage from the world tour that captures the uh the crowd going wild during this song.
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.199
Okay, so apparently Cagliastro live.
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:26.400
It was okay now.
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.000
Something impressive, something we're gonna have to look for clicks.
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:32.960
We're gonna be looking around.
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:34.480
Share with us, please.
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:35.679
We will like to see.
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:37.840
All right, another Cagliastro.
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:47.840
It's just simply very fun and groovy, and not a lot of repetitive melody within the song with beautiful vocals and great rap.
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:50.159
Cagliastra again.
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:55.360
It makes me dance, and it does, it does definitely, especially with that beat.
00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:57.039
Love it.
00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:02.559
Cagliastra again, it's unique atmosphere and addictive sound, really draw me in.
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.760
I think it deserves more attention from Bestie.
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.000
All right, wow, okay.
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:10.800
There's some people going out there for Cagliastra.
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:27.840
All right, okay, so last question for Bestie, and they answer what does Watch Me show you about how Be First is growing or evolving as artists.
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:28.639
All right.
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:32.079
This one's I have paragraphs.
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:34.960
Like, I have paragraphs.
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:43.119
I didn't put a limit on it because I will like, you know, I wanted the fans to like put their heart out, you know, yeah, be sincere.
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:51.440
So this bestie said, I think watch me shows how much they have grown in confidence as artists.
00:36:51.599 --> 00:37:00.559
They are not trying to cater to the world, they are simply making the music they love and bringing it to people who connect with it.
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:02.639
That feels very B First to me.
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:05.760
Nice, yeah, that's very well said.
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:18.800
This other bestie said, I believe this EP allows us to express our unique identity, cherishing our musical roots while remaining true to ourselves as Japanese artists.
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:19.599
Wait a minute.
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:21.440
Is this one from Be First?
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:25.519
This sounds like an what, right?
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:27.679
This sounds like one of the members.
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:29.599
Wait a minute.
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:30.719
Right?
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:33.920
This sounds like one of the oh my god.
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:36.639
Was that one you had to translate though?
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:38.000
No, it's in English.
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:38.639
Oh.
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:42.320
I mean, it's not like they don't, but I mean, oh my god.
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:49.760
Well, because sometimes the translation does make it sort of a unless they translate it themselves.
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:50.159
Right.
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:50.400
Yeah.
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:51.440
And that's what happened.
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.880
But it's still that's pretty funny.
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:54.559
One of the it would be pretty awesome.
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:55.280
Oh my god, that one.
00:37:55.599 --> 00:38:03.679
One of the members is like, we feel that we yo, because it's not like one of the members' answer, right?
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:06.400
Yeah, the way it was phrased, yes.
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:10.000
Okay, if it was a messy, are you fooling us?
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:13.039
Or if it's really one of the members, oh my god.
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:14.800
I'm dying.
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.039
I want to know what it is.
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:22.000
Anyway, I'm sure some I'm sure one of the members knows English, either one or two.
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:22.719
Somebody does.
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:26.239
Okay, now I'm just I'm fangirling over here.
00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:31.440
Just because of that question being answered the way it is, I'm like, this sounds like one of the members' answer.
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:39.119
Okay, so another bestie said global expansion, but they enjoy it.
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:41.360
We enjoy watching it even more.
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:42.079
Aw.
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:47.199
All right, so I want to catch one that has like a lot of talking.
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:49.920
This one, I have like three paragraphs.
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:51.599
Let's see.
00:38:51.920 --> 00:39:00.159
This world EP made me feel an even stronger sense of commitment for be first as artists.
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:12.719
They are expressive, expressing the music they want to create exactly as they feel it, embodying it through their bodies, their vocal voices, and even their facial expressions.
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:16.400
I feel like they have only just stepped into the starting line.
00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:17.199
That's true.
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:21.039
And I said, you know, this this is just this is a marathon, not a sprint.
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:26.400
So they are still in the middle of an endless journey of evolution.
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:27.440
That is right.
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.400
And I don't think that evolution will ever end.
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:31.599
That is true, too.
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:37.119
They are always unfinished, always evolving, and always moving forward.
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:45.840
They are not afraid of change, instead, they embrace it, and because of that, they can become anything they need to be.
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:52.960
I believe they will have an even greater influence on the world as they continue to grow.
00:39:53.119 --> 00:40:00.880
And I truly believe that one day people all around the world will be completely captivated by Be First.
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:01.840
Oh my goodness.
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:03.360
I'm gonna end it like that.
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:10.639
That sounds like this fan is like very devoted and love, love this group.
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:15.199
That's just probably sums it up for what you know watch me is about.
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:16.960
So oh my god, thank you, besties.
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:17.840
You guys are amazing.
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:21.840
I mean, I'm I'm not there's a hundred and forty answers here.
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.920
I just want to say thank you very much for everybody participating, all those people.
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:28.079
Thank you, thank you, thank you for participating.
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:33.840
I can't keep continuing reading on and whatever, but I think the last one that I just read just sums up.
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:39.599
Yeah, that was a very heartfelt, very emotional statement.
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:41.280
And yes, and very true though.
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:42.400
Yes, you know what I mean?
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:46.079
Like they are reaching out, grabbing people's attention.
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:49.599
So yeah, just like the evolution will never stop.
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:50.239
That is true.
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:54.079
It's gonna be continue, and it's a marathon, not a sprint, you know.
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:54.639
Yep.
00:40:54.800 --> 00:41:02.320
Well, like we've said before, if artists don't evolve, they sort you know, yeah, nobody wants to listen to the same thing over and over again.
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:12.159
You want your artists to to grow and try new things, and whether or not it works, you know, at least they tried and they know where to go next, you know.
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:14.400
Yeah, shift to a new direction.
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:15.440
Exactly.
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:17.760
But I think these guys have been doing great.
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:18.639
Yeah, they're doing good.
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:21.679
This is a really good, yeah, good, good album.
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:29.760
But I have noticed Manato is pretty much my main lyricist, what I have seen from for the uh that, and of course, sky high.
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:31.599
Hello, Sky Hi.
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:32.239
Hi.
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:34.159
And I know you know English.
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:35.840
Maybe that was his answer.
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:41.119
No, the man is still busy.
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:45.280
Well, we've always though talked about Sky High has a very global vision.
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:45.760
Oh, yeah.
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:50.159
That guy is like throwing his throwing his people out there.
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:53.920
Like I'm sending you here, I'm sending you there.
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:56.000
We're gonna do this, we're gonna try that, you know.
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:58.320
He's he's got a very global vision.
00:41:58.559 --> 00:41:59.760
Yeah, he he yeah.
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:06.559
Without though, like totally transitioning to a Western idea of how you know what I mean?
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:13.360
Because that's what they've maintained that the Japanese English balance in like you know, lyrics and stuff.
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:14.000
Yeah.
00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:25.840
So without completely changing their identity, yeah, but you know, keeping keeping it appealing to all sides, all directions.
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:26.960
So very cool.
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:28.880
He's got a vision.
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:30.239
He's got a vision.
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:36.960
And obviously the boys do too, because they're they're going with it, they're grabbing it, they're running with it.
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:46.000
So yeah, they're you know, but he's he's just like, well, this is what's going on, and or no, this is this is an idea, or maybe just like what what what is your idea?
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:47.280
What's what do you want?
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:49.199
Well, let's polish it or do this and that.
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:52.239
I don't really don't know, but I mean he's in there working with the boys.
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:52.960
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:59.760
Actually, working with older artists, because even the other artists that under his company are he's also part of it, you know.
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:01.679
It's like, okay, what is your idea?
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:12.000
But he I what I have seen, he have been giving the guys full free range of like, so what is your idea and what would you like to pursue?
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:14.159
And okay, let's polish it this way and that other.
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:14.639
Oh, yeah.
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:16.239
No, he's like, here's the vision.
00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:18.480
Where are you gonna take it?
00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:21.199
I think I think he's he's guiding a little.
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:22.320
Oh no, yeah.
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:26.480
But definitely, like, he's like, This is the vision, this is the goal.
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:28.719
How are you going to get there?
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:29.119
Right.
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:40.159
I I'll work with you, I'll help you get there, but like I I think that the boys are the ones giving him the idea, and he's like, Okay, so let's polish this this way, or let's or what do you think of this way?
00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:42.719
Like, still giving them some free range.
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:46.159
