NOTICE: This was written on November 17, the day Magic Island's music video was released. Stuff is subject to change. <3
I have now watched Magic Island for the third time in a row. Once to watch it, once for theories, and once slowed down for theories. (Yes, I even braved watching it for a half hour on 0.25x for y’all. Yes, you’re welcome. Yes, it sounded very odd.) Now, it's time for theories. FIRST IMPRESSIONS I'd like to start with an overarching theory -- they know each other. You may be saying, "no, duh," but seriously. I think they all knew each other when they were much, much younger (kindergarten-ish, schoolwise). I think they used to play together, games with imagination and creativity, maybe even in a secret hideout-style place. Hence, Magic Island. I think something happened when they were younger, perhaps relating to the strange powers they have now. Something happened and they couldn't see each other anymore/weren't allowed to play together anymore. (Again, perhaps relating to the strange powers? Or maybe their make-believe play wasn't as make-believe as they thought?) But I don't think they remember WHY they had to leave, even after they meet again in what looks to be high school. I think Soobin and Yeonjun are the two that are remembering the most -- Soobin is dreaming and hearing things, and Yeonjun is seeing and hearing things. Now, with that out of the way, video analysis. This is liable to be all over the place because I'm not very good at organizing my thoughts, so you have been warned. So the beginning narration. (Fig. 1.1) It sounds like they've met before, but were separated. Also, notice the star--it's still whirring, whereas it isn't in NoaS (and then comes back on at the end). Fig. 1.1 - The narration...of the star? Of the cat? I have no idea.
