&TEAM Samidare Era Deep Dive | 五月雨 Samidare, Scar to Scar, and Maybe MV, DP, and Lives

Continuing my deep dive into &TEAM with the Samidare era! This video covers just about everything from this release as I work my way through the music, choreography, and live performances to get a better understanding of the group and how this era comes together. In this reaction I'm checking out: • "Samidare (五月雨)" MV • "Samidare" Dance Practice • [STAGE CLIP] "Samidare" | 2024 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR SECOND TO NONE • "Samidare" Stage Cam @ AliExpress 2024 Weverse Con Festival • "Scar to Scar" MV • "Scar to Scar" Dance Practice • "Scar to Scar" Stage Cam @ AliExpress 2024 Weverse Con Festival • "Maybe" Official Track Video • "Maybe" Fancam (250607 ATB in Seoul) One thing I've really enjoyed about diving into &TEAM is seeing how different each version of a song brings out something new. The MVs establish the atmosphere, the dance practices highlight just how clean their choreography is, and the live performances always add another level of emotion and energy. With every era I watch, I feel like I'm getting a better understanding of both the group's identity and what makes them stand out. LUNÉ, I'd love to know which performance or version from the Samidare era is your favorite! ______ I got this lovely translation of Samidare from IG user rezamilani.official “Samidare” (五月雨) Pronunciation: Sa-mi-da-re Kanji breakdown: • 五 (go) = five • 月 (gatsu) = month • 雨 (ame) = rain Literal meaning: Rain of the Fifth Month (referring to the old lunar calendar — roughly early June in the modern calendar) Poetic Explanation: Samidare is not just a seasonal rain — it is a mood, a state of being, a whisper of time. It refers to the early summer rains in Japan, which are: • Gentle but persistent, sometimes lasting for several days without pause • Not stormy or violent, but soft, melancholic, and deeply quiet • They carry the scent of wet soil, of life beginning to stir, and of a subtle longing In classical Japanese poetry (especially haiku and waka), samidare symbolizes: • Waiting — often romantic or spiritual longing • The passage of time — slow, unnoticed • Growth in silence — in the earth, and within the self Emotional Resonance: Samidare evokes the kind of moment where: • You sit with your solitude rather than running from it • You watch the rain, not to escape it, but to understand it • And you realize that even as the world is hushed and grey, something inside you is quietly growing _____ Hashtags: #&TEAM #앤팀 #エンティーム #Samidare #五月雨 #사미다레 #ScartoScar #ScarToScar #Maybe #メイビー #FirstHowling #SamidareEP #LUNÉ #루네 #ルネ #HYBE #JPOP #JpopReaction #KpopReaction #DancePractice #StageClip #WeverseCon #ExiledReplicant Please make sure to go support and give the original videos all the love:    • &TEAM 'Samidare' Official MV      • &TEAM 'Samidare' Dance Practice      • [STAGE CLIP] 'Samidare' | 2024 &TEAM CONCE...      • &TEAM '五月雨 (Samidare)' Stage Cam @ AliExpr...      • &TEAM 'Scar to Scar' Special Performance V...      • &TEAM 2024 TMA 'Scar to Scar' Dance Practice      • &TEAM 'Scar to Scar' Stage Cam @ AliExpres...      • &TEAM ‘Maybe’ Official Track Video      • &TEAM - 君にカエル(Maybe) (250607 ATB in Seoul)   _____ 0:00 Intro 2:09 Samidare (五月雨) MV 13:26 Samidare Dance Practice 18:15 Samidare Stage Clip 21:36 Samidare WeVerse Con 2024 26:01 Scar to Scar Performance Video 30:11 Scar to Scar 2024 TMA Dance Practice 35:04 Scar to Scar Weverse Con Festival 38:35 Maybe Official Track Video 42:58 Maybe Fancam (250607 ATB in Seoul) 46:15 Final Thoughts/Outro ____ Fair Use Disclaimer This video is for entertainment, commentary, and educational purposes only.
