I filmed this one as a truly chaotic, first-time LIVE reaction to BTS “Swim” right in the middle of Tokyo (yes… Shibuya Sky), so if it feels a little unhinged, that’s because I was trying not to fully lose my mind in public. It had been years since I’d felt that “WE ARE SO BACK” energy, and I genuinely didn’t even know what to do with myself while it was playing. The biggest shock right away: it’s all in English, which I was not expecting at all—and it completely changed how I was processing the story and the vibe in real time. Concept-wise, I was also shook because it felt way more mature and dramatic than what I thought I was walking into, and I kept getting stuck on the visuals—especially realizing Lily Reinhardt is the star. I literally said it would be my number one accomplishment in life to be the subject of a BTS music video, because… come on. By the end, my main takeaway is that I need to listen again on proper headphones, because there was so much to take in at once: the look, the concept, and the “water falling off your skin” kind of imagery. I had no words, I was shaking, and I need round two to actually analyze it like a singer.
