How Republic Records Completely Outsmarted Sony​

I created this because it's animated (not Japanese anime), it's supremely trending, and the videos about it reveal issues in the animation and the music industry world of multiple countries (KPop - Korea, Sony, etc).

Canadian creator of KPop Demon Hunters didn't expect 'this kind of reaction'​

Interesting points about the focus of the show, how it was envisioned, and the focus on writing songs that could work as standalone tracks against the Billboard pop songs and also work with the storytelling in the show.

I thought it was kpop version of Demon Slayer based on the title lol. Also a bit corporation looking down on good music is nothing new, it happens all the time cause what they like to promote and sell is music that most people like cause it means .

I saw somewhere a small performance of the original singers and even they had to take it half a step down, so this is quite a feat

Interesting.

I would expect that Ejae can hit those notes with her falsetto (if head voice is not developed) just like Laco did. The key challenge is to do it with a mix belt or at least a focused/concentrated head voice that isn't too classical sounding. Of course most proper classically-trained soprano singers can hit it in head voice with power.

Singers I am confident can hit those notes with their heady mix: Tori Kelly, Sohyang.

Yeah, a semitone down it sounded like.

Funny! It brought the energy down a bit for everything surrounding Ejae's voice. There was also the effect on the voice to match the original.

The highest note in the Huntrix song "Golden" from the KPop Demon Hunters movie is A5. This note is known for being particularly challenging to hit, especially in a pop vocal context, and it's a standout moment in the song that showcases the vocal prowess of the performers—Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, who voice the fictional K-pop trio Huntr/x.

This is why i don't like going down a semitone many times. I guess it's that major to minor effect so suddenly everything sounds like evil mirror universesque.
