Of course Kana boon stuck to what their strengths are, but this was definitely a good change of pace from their usual openings. Notice how their formula has been a strong popping opening with a clean housing segment in the middle followed by a complex locking segment. They actually opened up with one of the most difficult housing choreographies I've ever seen this time around. Most of the time, their popping and locking segments stand out in terms of technique, but this time it definitely goes to the quality of their housing
It might feel subtle, but them switching the emphasis towards showing high mastery of house is pretty important for their long game, as in not just for this year's HHI but also for the succeeding ones. After all, they are very good already with popping and with locking since the mid-2010s, so they needed to show a different expertise, even by the late 2010s already if I'm being honest (which may have what costed them their gold in 2019 or as early as 2017). So it's definitely a good move that they turned up with this, but also turning up the year prior with a reminder of pre-pandemic Kana-Boon which is still effective at least for just one competition at that point in the 2021 online HHI. The sequence of improvements would have been what gotten them to the three-peat of 2023 when they then transitioned to a more smoothened out execution of house grouped with their already formidable popping and locking combo
i don't give a fck what anyone is saying. Kana Boon switched it up this time and it was sick 🔥 love that the piece has more house foundation, locking combos weren't the usual go to from past performances. good job 👏
As much as I don't care for Kana Boon , I can't stop thinking about their intro here. Just stunning and powerful. Clean and engaging. Their formations are nothing interesting but the choreography makes up for their weird use of space. They definitely deserved to place
@@imagineaxxtion3367 also swagganauts had loads of power throughout their first and last set especially, more styles, and their first set was super fast
Typical Kana Boon. Strong engaging intro then a boring anime opening sounding song with the same old locking and waacking. I can't... they deserved gold but enough already. They're as stagnant as Royal Family
Dumb comment. Did you read HHI CRITERIA? btw that's not theatrical. They used locking,housing,wack,pop ... And they mastered it.. they won the gold. Those judge are not stupid.... Kanaboon won! No hate
The ol' boring theatrical heavy locking-based performance again? That's fine. But this one is definitely a declining in Kana-Boon's quality. So messy. Not as clean as they used to.

呼吸を忘れるくらい見入ってしまいました🔥
Kana-Boon!優勝おめでとう🏆✨
That was hella good but the 2018 era with Souchin was something else
i don't give a fck what anyone is saying. Kana Boon switched it up this time and it was sick 🔥

1:05 i was thinking Yuto gonna did b-boying, but only backflip. He is a good b-boy anyway

Cual es el nombre de la Segunda canción? Whats the name second song?
Righto 😂

is this 3peat?
IN MY OPINION:
1st Swagganauts
2nd Alpha crew
3rd Kana boon
swaggnauts cool but not neat, kanaboon speed, power and syncronize is amazing
@@imagineaxxtion3367 but the chorey aspect wasn't there, and also kana boon weren't amazingly in sync this year

You dont know about dance if you say that😂

Great Theatrical performance. Isn't this a hip hop competition 🤔

@@imagineaxxtion3367 Hip Hop International?

Might as well be a locking and wacking comp…😪
there was literally no waacking tho lmao
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️❤️❤️
Im sorry, swagganauts deserved gold.
Exactly what I said. Although this was a solid performance
i guess 2nd isnt bad place for swaggy, cuz they r cool but not as fast and clean as kanaboon imho
@@imagineaxxtion3367 They are getting repetitive at this point. A very predictable routine, outfits, rotations, transitions even.
