You mentioned at the beginning it felt like Cover Me when it started, but I think it's more like Lonely St. I feel like that one get's looked over a bit for others so I have to make sure it keeps getting it's due. You can tell just by listening to Night that it belongs as a theme song, the way it's structured it's so theme song coded (as it should be I guess) I love when shows have theme songs that are actual theme songs and yet are totally listenable outside of watching the show (some of the old disney shows had this too, full songs as themes that just vibed). And Falling up was the perfect cool down song. Close enough to the theme to belong together with it, and yet with a different enough tone that it's not hyping up with determination, it's bring you back down to Earth to rest before going on again to the theme song again in the next episode. So you aren't left with the adrenaline at the end of an episode with nowhere for it to go. It's a great formula, those two are a great pair.

2024-10-12 03:38:37 +0000 UTCI don't know why but i just love "falling up". BangChan voice is great, and I really love the melody.

2024-10-08 10:58:26 +0000 UTCYeah, that was Bangchan and noone is talking about it! 😭🫠

2024-10-08 06:49:38 +0000 UTCUGH. Maybe D'Some and Han-C can suggest something? I hope so.

2024-10-08 06:08:43 +0000 UTCThe piano in Night reminded me *so much* of the Sailor Moon theme in the best way possible.

2024-10-08 05:48:21 +0000 UTCAnd this only started like a week or two ago

2024-10-08 05:26:36 +0000 UTCAnd it does this for every YouTube affiliated video so if it’s not already on YT I’m missing out on my early access

2024-10-08 05:22:04 +0000 UTCI’m talking about the reaction videos specifically. Well I just saw that this particular one is already on YT, but like the xdh video from earlier, I can’t watch. I push play here and a thing pops up saying I have to sign in (to YouTube) to prove I’m not a bot but then all I can do is press the YouTube button and it just takes me to my YT home page.

2024-10-08 05:19:43 +0000 UTCAre you having trouble watching the Patreon video, or the YouTube videos?

2024-10-08 05:18:40 +0000 UTC"I.N and Han's tones sound amazing on Japanese songs!" I would count Lee Know in there, too. His higher vocal tone fits so well, but also his pronunciation, especially since he's the most fluent in Japanese.
J.A. Moore
2024-10-08 05:17:51 +0000 UTCGreat insight, thank you!
J.A. Moore
2024-10-08 05:14:57 +0000 UTCseriously, why can’t I watch these 😭
rlm66
2024-10-08 05:04:26 +0000 UTCI said this when The Sound album came out and then again when they released Social Path, I.N and Han's tones sound amazing on Japanese songs! Of course all the boys kill it in Japanese, but there's something about their tones specifically that to me fits the Japanese tracks the most! Their voices are more piercing, not sure how else to put it I'm not good with technical terms haha, which goes really well with the style!

2024-10-08 04:11:48 +0000 UTCThey released the songs because, yesterday (Saturday) the second part for the second season of Tower Of God was aired.. NiziU sings the opening and ending of the first part of the second season (it was pretty amazing too).. I really need to read the novel, because damn, too much happening hahaha I really like the animation, you guys should watch and suffer with us :x hahaha Night is my new favorite and the total opposite of Slump which is my number 1 hahaha can I have both as number 1 in my heart? 😍 Oh the and lyrics are perfect for the anime.. Chan explained a little in a recent interview but I didn't find the link to send you guys, sorry! Now can't wait for the Arcane soundtrack... And maaaaaaybe if our theories are correct a song for One Piece? I'm gonna die 😭 our SKZ otakus won in life! hahaha 😂 Ohhh guys btw, did you see their tribut at AMA 2024? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FBoBz9HKKw

2024-10-08 04:09:30 +0000 UTCI really love Falling Up! And with my writer hat on, as you guys talked a lot about it, I particularly love the imagery of "falling up" as a concept. To use the phrase "falling down" is, overwhelmingly, a poetic redundancy, as in a literal sense, there's mostly no other way *to* fall. (Unless you're in zero gravity, in which case "falling" isn't really the right word in the first place.) In a more metaphoric sense, when we say something has fallen, we mean that it ebbs, depletes, lessens - or, conversely, that it happened by chance or accident, like saying an opportunity "fell into my lap." To be "falling up," then, is to be knocked down or suffer an accident that, by chance, turns into an advantage; to rise in the face of adversity. Or - given the conceit of the anime - in a metaphoric echo of a literal action, to fall *up* a flight of stairs. When we fall while ascending a slope, if we're facing forwards, our upper body lands on ground our feet haven't yet reached, and if we get a handhold there, we can pull ourselves onwards despite whatever caused us to stumble. This might happen again and again, but so long as we hang on - so long as we fall up instead of down - we'll continue to make progress, albeit painfully. So with just those two words, SKZ has managed to convey a wealth of meaning, at least to me!

2024-10-08 03:54:00 +0000 UTCI.N’s tone in "Night" had me in shambles. His voice suits this style so well. Also Han’s high notes always send me to the clouds. I hope we get a music video for one of these songs but regardless they never miss a song!! 🥹😍🩷

2024-10-08 03:51:34 +0000 UTCFor timeline info: Oct 15 - ITZY's comeback drops which includes the song VAY (ft. Changbin) - he also has lyrics and comp credits on the song Nov 13 - GIANT (Japanese album) drops Nov 23 - Arcane Season 2 OST drop - the song is called Come Play featuring Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko and guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave 3RACHA also appeared briefly on a live over the weekend for MMTG JaeJae's new project group, JAESSBEE (which includes JaeJae, SeungHeon, and GABEE). They are currently documenting their process towards debut on their channel. It appears that 3RACHA was assisting with JaeJae's rap (on live she was asking for the audience to pick which verse and delivery they liked best). I believe 3RACHA will be on an upcoming episode Sunday Oct 13 (I have not found confirmation for this yet). Monotree is part of the production of the song based on last Sunday's episode. The live is here (3RACHA appear at the last few seconds though you can hear Changbin talking off camera a few times): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1HVBQ6_H2w

2024-10-08 03:51:22 +0000 UTCI love your closing ment today It's so cute and funny🤣

2024-10-08 03:48:28 +0000 UTCthe super high falsetto at the end was actually bangchan! ofc han was also going high and his vocals were upfront, i also assumed it was him at first i actually just started tower of god (season 1 though) and hearing TOP/SLUMP every episode is such a treat. i actually prefer Night/Falling Up as an OST, it sounds more OST-y to me. I’m excited to watch the rest and see how all the songs tie into the storyline.

2024-10-08 03:47:38 +0000 UTCi feel like i’m the only one who prefers night 😭😭😂 but the first lee know prechrous in falling up 😍
Marii

2024-10-08 03:29:34 +0000 UTCI love these songs so much! I actually find that "Falling Up" reminds me of "Runners" but I couldn't really pinpoint why. Just the overall vibe?
Tristana Keauna
2024-10-08 03:00:21 +0000 UTCI prefer Falling Up, too. And that high note with harmonization???? That was INCREDIBLE.
J.A. Moore
2024-10-08 02:30:40 +0000 UTCIn FALLING UP, I'm glad you caught the references to TOP and SLUMP. I loved that tie-in to their previous OSTs for the original ToG series.
J.A. Moore
2024-10-08 02:29:16 +0000 UTCI LOVE these so so much. But I'll admit, like Slump, I prefer Falling Up rather than the opening song. I've had Falling Up on repeat practically on repeat since yesterday...
Estelle S
2024-10-08 02:25:17 +0000 UTCalso im pretty sure ive streamed falling up a million times since it came out edit: the high background whistle note towards the end is bang chan btw! han on the front vocal, chan on the ridiculously high note
kerolina
2024-10-08 02:25:11 +0000 UTCchangbin’s opening vocal in night gives me chills every time

2024-10-08 02:21:41 +0000 UTCOMG guys wtf jajajaj I’m was literally thinking “oh I hope sausages listen to Night and Falling Up soon” and you uploaded jaajajaj is a give thanks Update: I really LOVED THE SONGS, this time I can’t peak a favorite, I think skz can have an album of just pure rock and sound amazing, and love the lyrics, and you are right that high note was Han SOUND INCREDIBLE
Vale
2024-10-08 02:10:06 +0000 UTCAHHH YAYYYY❤️❤️❤️ My only wish is to see them sing these songs on the first take! Like imagine hearing Han sing that 'yeah' live and changbin's Night intro??🫠🫠🙂↕️

2024-10-08 02:09:25 +0000 UTCYes, absolutely. 100% yes. OOOOOH is thus what you were talking about when you said we shouldn't know what's coming up soon? If it is then you're absolutely right. We definitely should have known. But my brain did not put two and two together. In fact I got seven instead of four 😂. These songs are both absolutely fantastic. They knock it out of the park every time. I absolutely love how into the music you guys get 🤣. They never miss man. The music definitely reflected what they were saying in the lyrics. I mean I guess you could look at it as a kind of depressing thing that it ended with the descent. Or you can look at it that because they're back at the bottom there's that journey of the climb ahead of them once again. Because you know they're never going to stay down. They're going to get back up. They're going to keep climbing. So its kind of low-key hopeful. One, the cords are very delicious. I agree with you. Two, why do we keep getting the extreme close-ups on your face D'some 😹. Falling up is so beautiful. Lee Know and hus vocals are insane. I also really liked that they mentioned top and slump in this song. It's a lyrical way of connecting it to the previous closing song. Of course that was Han hitting that high note. When it comes to those high notes, it is either Han Seungmin or Bang Chan and it didn't have Seungmin's deepness. Oh so this song feels sadder than slump? Lol Han-C, "nike". Whatever! I enjoyed both of these songs so much. My face was stuck in like the stink face when listening to night it hits so hard. Oh I will say obviously it was meant for a Japanese webtoon so listening to it in Japanese is a must but they also released a Korean version and an English version. Are you guys going to check those out too? These were definitely some interesting usernames here 😂😂.
