Deep charm that can be felt from the music video "What is Love?" (TWICE)
MV「What is Love?」から感じ取れる深い魅惑(TWICE)
TWICE's comeback D-DAY, will they set a new record with 8 consecutive hits?
Girl group TWICE is making a comeback. TWICE, who have produced 7 consecutive hits from their debut song "Like OOH-AHH" to their previous work "Heart Shaker", are aiming for 8 consecutive box office records.
TWICE will release their 5th mini album "What is Love?" through various online music sites at 6 pm on the 9th, and will make their comeback about 5 months after last year's "Heart Shaker".
The title song "What is Love?", which has the same name as the album, was written and composed by JYP top Park Jinyoung. It is a dance song that takes up the curiosity and imagination of a girl who learned about love from books, movies and dramas. The agency explained, "The song shows various musical changes in one song, with a bouncy and bright melody, an up-tempo dance beat and a rhythm that alternates between trap."
Park Jin Young produced "SIGNAL," which won TWICE the grand prize, so interest is focused on what kind of synergy he will create with this comeback.
The green light for eight consecutive box office hits has already been lit. With 350,000 preorders, they have broken the previous record of 330,000 copies set by "Twicetagram." TWICE's enemies have made the word TWICE a reality, proving the adjective "national girl group" that has captured both fandom and popularity at the same time.
TWICE, who have shown "girl power" that can never be overshadowed by boy groups, will be unveiled at 6 p.m. on this day to see what kind of transformation they will have this time.
(From K-POP News)
I immediately went to YouTube and watched the official music video for "What is Love?".
To be honest, I was surprised that the song that came out had the image I expected.
As I mentioned in my blog the other day, I predicted that the song would have an image somewhere between the Korean-style songs they've been doing since their debut and the Japanese-language songs "Candy Pop" and "BRAND NEW GIRL".
However, I thought that the Korean-style song, where they've put all their effort into it, might come out more strongly.
It turned out to be a little different in that respect. It gives the impression of being closer to the playful girly songs "Candy Pop" and "BRAND NEW GIRL".
You could say it's the last song in this trilogy, and it's relatively close to the innocent cuteness of "KNOCK KNOCK," the fourth in the Korean seven-part series that continued with "OOH-AHH ni," "CHEER UP," "TT," "KNOCK KNOCK," "SIGNAL," "LIKEY," and "Heart Shaker."
Towards the end of the song, they make a leg gesture that reminds you of line dancing. Everyone forms a line and twists one leg up at the knee.
When I saw this part after watching the MV all the way through, I naturally thought of Takarazuka's line dancing.
This is where I thought it was similar to "Candy Pop" and "BRAND NEW GIRL."
★The girls want to know what love is. They want that love to start now. But they know that there is no such thing as eternal love. Therefore, they are grateful for the love they receive now and cannot become tired. TWICE already knows love.
○TWICE members★ "We think about love too. We feel happy when we're together, and love is something we always remember. Our fans, family, and members are that love."
These are the motifs that form the backbone of "What is Love?"
What would it be like if they were to express this in their performance now?
As you know, they live together and put all their energy into their idol activities. Sneak peeks into love is not even possible.
If you try to express their "desire for love" from that point on...it will result in the birth of a "pseudo-romance" world that is like a rite of passage.
Teenage girls may feel an indescribable thrill from their beautifully synchronized performance.
Now that men and women are free to date, the embarrassment inspired by this world of videos can be felt as a surprisingly deep allure.
