Great and interesting video! Small correction: Everglow is not from a small company. Yuehua is as large in China as Sment is in Korea. And given they are from China it likely means they have more budget than Korea/kpop. This music market is larger due to it's sheer amount of people. China is the 2nd largest music industry after the US as number 1.

oop- my bad. I totally forgot Yuehua is Chinese. Should've used a different girl group as an example. Thanks for the correction!

I've always found it fascinating that MV streaming culture revolves around girl groups (BTS is the only boy group I can think of with fans dedicated enough to do this on a regular basis). From what I understand, allot of it has to do with western fans growing up during the digital age where CDs became obsolete. If they buy an album, they might buy one, but their primary way of supporting their fav gg's is to stream the MV relentlessly. Using your Everglow example, they debuted during the peak of streaming culture and I remember fans being pretty eager to pump up their MV numbers. All that being said, streaming culture has died down quite a bit in the last few years so the metric has changed.

It's also not Hybe's fault is other artists and groups can not put out the creative and content with depth that BTS does. Oh woe is me, groups crying . Suck it up. Creat content that has something to say besides jopping and popping . BTS paved the way and made it easier for other groups to be seen, heard, and invited to platforms in the States. If these groups can't Run with the Big Dogs, stay on the porch. 1:41

CDs should be cheaper. Streaming media isn't something you own. The platform could get hacked, or they can just decide to take away the content you paid for. Physical media is the only kind you actually own after you pay for it. Something really needs to be done about the cost of living crisis. It has a lot to do with neoliberalism and private equity robbing everyone, but it's hard for most people to wrap their heads around those concepts.
@purplepotato884925 күн бұрын
I've always thought that CD sales were a very outdated metric for charting, and I've thought that since at least 7 years ago (when the BTS YNWA album was released in 2017). Even then you would have been hard pressed to find a computer or laptop that had a CD player. We still did it to support them and get the photobooks and photocards (and I would watch unboxings online of album versions I couldn't afford to get), but yeah honestly who has the spare cash for that these days.

Despite alll the content being added up wouldnt even reach 30 minutes, the series is already good that I cant quite imagine it being anything more like an anime or a manhwa ( I guess I find a small pleasure in being updated on their community posts for small snippets/behind the scenes? ) Vivinos, Qmeng, the singers/VAs and the team all outdid themselves on this short story and I love that.

The Music here in this in Stage is emotions and stories told between characters the actual story is about aliens and humans in captivity.

nothing wrong with not liking alien stage but don’t discredit all the work that qmeng and vivinos and the LICO team have done just bc you don’t think it works as a short story. the animation has improved a lot since the first round, it’s not just static art. it IS a real animation. it’s licensed under a studio. it has merch. it’s their job. it’s literally listed on MAL as an anime. if you want a full length anime or manhwa then go watch something else
@@halcyon.x thats literally what im doing do thanks
and how do you recon it would've worked as a manhwa if the main focus is music?
@@yunqb1519 hm do you not know what the Kagerou project is? 🤔 Also other good example is Kono Oto Tomare! Sounds of Life or K-On or Bocchi The Rock!, written drawn stories about music. Music can tell its own story but you can absolutely embellish it with more context. The Music here in this in Stage is emotions and stories told between characters the actual story is about aliens and humans in captivity. Anyways I cant tell if you were serious and curious or you took it as offensive like the other person, regardless mayhaps in the future more different type of media may come of it to enjoy through other people preference. 🤷♀️
@@semekiizuio no I was genuinely curious because I have been following alien stage for a long time and I would love having a media like manhwa or anime too but couldn’t really think of how a manhwa would’ve worked. on the other hand I also appreciate this format too because it’s easy for people to get into and watch everything in one sitting however it needs lots of side content and comics to give nuance to speicific scenes. either way I appreciate vivinos and qmeng’s hard work as the sole key animators who started this as a duo as well
as someone who was a fan of vivinos since cherry b club, its so nice to see her content explode and get the attention it deserves, her art and stories and music all together make the perfect package. great video, i hope it introduces even more fans into vivinos’s stuff!
Well, this sucks ass
this just convinced me to watch alien stage for the 2000th time ❤️ okay but more seriously, that was a really good video! hopefully it reaches a lot of viewers :))
