Episode 310
Testa’s concert started with the underwater view fully realized in the concert hall.
And what unfolded... It was an unexpected performance for a gamer who came to the concert with a friend.
‘her.’
Usually, whether the subject is a singer or an idol, when you say ‘concert’, there is a format you expect.
A performance in which the performer presents his or her own stage.
After mixing and distributing the hit songs and the latest songs, the order is adjusted so that the tension of the performance does not drop.
And, in fact, Testa has also done such a concert so far, so her friends gave her a similar explanation.
-There are a lot of songs you know, so it will be fun haha
-Yes, and all the kids are really handsome and good at it. Ticket prices are unconditional!
But not now. Instead, this concert had a story.
[
I don’t want to get out of
the night when I’m slowly submerged]
Through the dry ice, the elegant choreography from modern dance unfolds as if floating in the sea.
Selected as the first song, it is ‘Midnight and Next’ arranged with a perfect orchestra.
It was a very unique choice.
This is because it is common for idols with a lot of hit songs over the years to skip the songs they performed a lot in the beginning of their debut as a medley at best.
However, Testa dared to use this song while arranging it.
Because this is the starting point of the narrative that will be shown in this performance. [
Forget all
the songs and dreams. It’s midnight here.
Your Midnight]
The boy who fell into the sea dies in the past along with his dreams.
The mainspring turns and the members sink into the sea and experience the past.
The members lay down in the deep sea at the same time as the grandfather bell signaled the end of ‘Midnight and Next’.
[Dang-]
And the stage background naturally becomes a classroom.
As if in a dream, the lighting changes and becomes clearer.
The song that connects naturally is ‘High Five’. A bright and cheerful rock sound that sings of cheerful youth!
The members get up and run around the stage doing a choreography where they grin and roll their feet after an interlude where they are slightly bewildered.
[My feet move
faster and farther!]
The boy who went back to the past pursues his dream, falls in love, and develops the strength to meet and overcome enemies.
In each context, Testa’s songs were woven into each one.
Of course, Testa is an idol, and the story was not as explicit as a real musical or opera.
However, I was able to fully understand the context through the lyrics, the atmosphere, and the VCR that appeared in between.
Especially if you don’t have a lot of background knowledge in Testa!
‘this... Is this the song you originally made to do this?’
It was to the extent that gamers were perplexed.
Fans were familiar with the song, so it was a little smoother, but in fact, the members put in an expression that matched the story between each song.
And gamers accepted all of the text in equal proportions to the song.
Embarrassment Joy Tension Boundaries... .
Because of his overflowing talent and expressive power, gamers quickly immersed themselves in unfamiliar songs.
The main character on stage, who has grown through the realization of love, puts on an intense performance as if showing off his strength.
[Bite and enjoy
Now Spring out!]
The narrative enhances the three-dimensional effect of the stage.
In the end, by the time the concert-type performance using guns and dancers exploded intensely, she was almost unconsciously applauding and cheering at the end of the stage!
“omg.”
It’s not like they’re cheering for idol concerts, but they’re reacting like these conditional reflexes?
Asking herself what kind of musical she came to see, she was dumbfounded, but there was no need for that.
Testa was more sincere.
The lights flickered at the end of the intense ‘Spring out’ ending, with high notes and strong choreography in harmony.
A tearing roar and heart-thumping epic upsurge.
But in an instant, everything stopped as if washed.
“... !”
After the song that ended with a splendid climax... It’s time for a break.
[~Intermission~]
[Act 2 begins soon.]
They even kept the format of the intermission alive.
It’s like asking you to think over what you just saw. As if to inflate expectations further.
[Yahoo!]
The gamer opened his mouth as he watched the VCR playing, with the members running around in animal pajamas, like some kind of public service announcement.
It wasn’t just her.
Like an intermission, when the lights turned on and the atmosphere loosened up, the fans started to run amok with the tacit permission that seemed to be a ‘break time’.
“Uh uh uh uh... .”
“What is this?”
There were numerous people holding their smartphones and frantically writing something down.
And gamers also got a message.
-The great genius, the great genius, the great genius,
-(collapsed emoticon)
They were two friends.
When I visually checked where they were sitting, it seemed that both of them were sending KakaoTalk messages with their eyes completely fixed on the VCR.
‘Huh.’
It was kind of scary.
But I got a little bit of understanding. ‘It’s well made so that even people like me who don’t know anything can enjoy it.’
A concert like this is worth seeing at least once. Saying that she knew the reason for the force, she admitted inwardly.
It was the first time that Testa had performed this type of performance, and thanks to this, she did not even guess that SNS was a mess. Unlike before, she waited for the second act with more excitement.
‘Am I just about to fight?’
Because she was familiar with the narrative of the main character of the royal road game! There was no fun without the colorful dancing and singing!
Soon, the performance resumed with lively announcements.
[Audience, were you a little surprised by what these guys were thinking when they put on a performance like this? Are you somewhat curious?]
This is Lee Se-jin.
When the audience is buzzing with laughter and reactions to that clever comment.
[However, you will soon see what happens to the testa. Then Act 2 begins now.
The lights go out.
When the light orchestra flows and the performers cut the tempo appropriately, people’s hearts are filled with anticipation again.
Now gamers are easily impressed.
‘Did you do it with the feeling that the audience is participating on the stage?’
There was an aspect of this perverted level of detail that stimulated the hearts of maniacs!
‘It was completely determined!’
For the unit stage inserted in the final build-up stage of the climax, the VCR turns off and the music starts playing.
Rrrrrrrrrrr!
It is the intense sound of a progressive rock band that was responsible for the end-of-the-century experimentation of the 90s.
‘Implementation may be good.’
A boy who was defeated at the decisive moment in a confrontation with the enemy.
The performance following the ‘Call’, which was a temptation for greater power, is ultimately an inner conflict.
The thunderous electrification that raged like an intense temptation soon fades away, and the elegant and agile sound that was active in the first act fills its place.
Orchestral violin solo and low vocals.
[A place to stay dizzy]
So, Sun Ah-hyun is the first to go up on stage.
Symbols that symbolize reason and intellect are all expressed through directing, and the characters gently cross the stage.
A white spotlight falls along with the motion applied to modern dance.
[Standing on tiptoe]
It was an experimental song, but it did not harm the performance performed with Seo on stage.
Because the delivery power was unbelievably good.
“and.”
“Cooool.”
Ahyeon, wearing a white outfit and drawing straight lines, perfectly portrayed the whole scene of the song.
The unshakable vocals even melt into one of the accompaniment, making the performance stand out.
[Even if the lights change, I have to keep my voice]
[Step by step]
The fabric flutters as she stretches out her hands, flips back, and lands softly.
The power of that proficiency level, which seemed to use up to one inch of remaining capacity, was extraordinary.
‘really... .’
The static climax that the audience falls in love with.
But the dissonance comes into play here.
thud.
the violin breaks
Rrrrrrrrrrr!
Elec rushes in.
Then, with a flashing spotlight, another person appears from the other side of the stage.
[Red light]
This is Kim Rae-bin wearing clothes tightened with countless black buckles.
He didn’t dance or anything.
Instead, they just moved forward slowly with head microphones.
slowly overbearingly.
[You’ll fall if you walk,
stop there and go back]
Then, the rap shot out.
The mixed rap in English and Korean started slowly and then got faster.
And an electronic crackle from the microphone.
It was a song performed in collaboration with a Korean rapper at a band concert in the 2000s.
At that time, the focus of the performance of this song remained in the interview.
-A song where you have to break in like an uninvited guest in the middle of the stage and become the owner,
and Raebin Kim did just that. He pushed the orchestra away and forced himself onto the stage to the tempo of the electrics.
[Tick-tock Tick-tock]
[When the lines change, you are not you.
Where your feet are, your heart is.]
The rap enters, the gestures grow, and the choreography expands.
take the stage
Accompanied by the sound of the orchestra, Seon Ah-hyun faced a short and intense performance like a final resistance, but it was already eaten away by all directing.
Thus, the orchestra disappears and Seon Ah-hyun falls impressively from one side along with the stage equipment and disappears.
Rrrrrrrrrrr!
The stage completely changed the tone. And only then, Rabin Kim’s short and intense choreography with dancers fills the stage as much as the time Seon Ah-hyun dominated in the beginning.
-Wak. Wak. Wak. Wak!
In the midst of the dancers’ group dance mixed with dominant and intense krump, Kim Rae-bin matched his feet and fluttered the hem of his coat.
Inwardly, impulses ruled.
In this way, the song was reproduced in the 2020s with the meaning of the original songwriter’s intention.
Except for the single ending.
– Um-um-um.
Jisung did not come back.
The only thing that stood until the end was impulse. -Ending of
Get off
song Raebin Kim turned back and disappeared under the stage.
* * *
Wow!!!
“Wow!”
The screams of the concert hall resonate as if they would shatter even the framework of the narrow hallway in the backstage.
Originally, I am generous with cheers, but this is enough to be honest impressions.
‘It means that unit’s cover song was as good as the original stage.’
It was a success. I was happy to open my mouth.
“It was good.”
“Thank you... !”
Seon Ah-hyun, who returned first, smiled while covering herself with a towel. And the one remaining has now appeared in the hallway. The members cheered generously.
“Kim Raebin!!”
“Really good job! It was so cool!”
“thank you... !”
Kim Rae-bin, who took off his coat, nodded his head with a flushed face.
‘I must have done quite well even in my own opinion.’
It’s rare to find someone so honest.
I chuckled.
“good job.”
“yes... !”
Without saying anything further, I tapped Kim Rae-bin on the shoulder a few times.
There won’t be any more time to do it anyway.
“Change your costume.”
“ah!!”
Kim Rae-bin opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but immediately entrusted himself to the staff to carry out the mission of ‘recovering in 20 seconds’.
“Now, there are 150 seconds left~ Shall we go to the parade?”
“Come!”
Yes, the concert is still not over.
And that wasn’t all I had prepared.
