totally forgot to leave a comment on here. i just wanted to say thank you to Wong Fu Productions for reuniting with me to make this music video. i'm so grateful to read all of these comments, bringing up the good times and how this video 'took you back'. love to all. what a special time to remember.
I feel old but I love you guys!
Thanks for bringing back the feeling of those days through your song. Love it!!!!!. I feel old. LOL
Thank you for the endless park karaoke sessions and nights jamming out by a make shift bonfires in the back yard. You were the reason I started singing. I remember I bought a uke and the first song I learned was you doing a tutorial for I just want you. Life was so much different back then, Just something about looking at today comparing it to this era I wouldn't be able to explain what that felt like. Its defiantly one of those you had to be there moments. We've come along way but life today is so focused on social status and perfection that the early UA-cam days of lip syncing, dancing, making covers in the living room with friends or even just recording what you thought was funny or cool no matter how random it was just for the memory. Those were the days T.T
A Wong Fu and AJ Rafael collaboration takes me back to the golden era of Asian UA-cam.
AJ, JR Aquino, Passion, Choi, Bondoc, Posis, Cathy Nguyen, Wasabi and JK productions, Wong Fu, nigahiga, Kevjumba, Dtrix.. so much more..
What a time to be alive. Time goes too fast…
Oh my lord, I forgot about Choi his music was the best!
Great work AJ, Wes, and WF team! The old days are always the best days :)
Man not me waiting for Cathy to jump in with that collab. This is what prime YT was all about - unique content purely for the joy of sharing a passion. Not a means of click baiting when not contributing anything.
Couldn’t help but cry watching this video. So many memories and so much time has passed since those good old days and I’m sure we have all experienced so much, good and bad, since those simpler days. Hope everyone is killing it in life, and if not, hang in there!! You’ve got this. 💪🏼
First second in, I started singing, "Something about the way, something about the way"
I miss this era of UA-cam also. This year, the nostalgia hit me the hardest. I miss seeing everyone together. This was a treat❤
3:16 David Choi's best dance movie right there
What's even more is beautiful, that you can make such a reunion. While time goes on and people drift apart, finding a path where you can meet eachother again with happiness is something precious.
Thank you for the memories and for what's to come :) .
The reunion we needed 😭
i didnt expect to cry watching this. i grew up watching AJ, wongfu, and so many other asian creators on YT. it's crazy to think it's been like 15 years
Thank you to WongFu and AJ Rafael for inspiring so many young asian american viewers thru our teen years...but most importantly, for just being there. Here's to the next 10 years
Man you guys made an entire generation of Asian late millennials in North America. I hope everyone is having a great day out there ❤
Love y'all!!! This is beautiful. ❤❤❤
The reunion we need.... So many memories in the old days... 😢 Great songs and mv
This was my childhood. I miss the old UA-cam days as well 🥹 Definitely shed some tears watching this especially when the OGs came up! Love this song and great job on the production
Watching this hit me with such nostalgia. From meeting AJ when I was in middle school and listening to all the songs, singing with friends, wanting to start a channel of my own... I'm glad I got to grow up with y'all.
Been watching since 2009. These are the videos I wish came back!! 2010s youtube was undefeated.
Make more videos like this again 🎉
Never stop experimenting wongfu! Never give up the videography!
I honestly would love to hear like an updated version of Red Roses album or even just a refreshed version
Tearing up!! 😭😭 so many of the OG’s 🥹🥹
i am so emotional, immediately transported back to my high school days 😭
2:55 omg my people!!! 😭 Maybe I'm indeed stuck in the past
Seeing every person on that couch together tugged out my tears man. Lyrically precious. Vocals, you already know and Wong Fu, you know you did an amazing job with the cinemography.
I've grown up now, I'm in college and I've just started to enjoy my life after a rough road, but nothing will ever beat me as a kid finding comfort and happiness in the videos by Ryan Higa, KevJumba, AJ Rafael, Wong Fu, David Choi (can't forget the UA-cam love song!), KINA (I was so happy seeing her in Crazy Rich Asians) , happyslip, Freddie W, D-trix.
It was a pleasure to grow up with you guys, thanks for this video! It was really great :)
giving hella nostalgia. the Meg & Dia medley feels extra special to me
OMG I love all the cameos ❤❤❤ we love you AJ!!
Love you AJ 😭😭😭😭
This is the most wholesome music video I’ve ever seen. Aj and the crew did their thing! 🥲👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This took me back to my college days when me and my friends had a special spot we would hang out at in the campus lounge. It was an odd spot, but it worked for us. We were in the hallway eating cheggo, making stupid decisions and just living life.
I love that it takes you back to a specific place!
This is so nostalgic. AH, Wong Fu, Happyslip, Kev, Ryan Higa and everyone were such a huge part of my childhood. It makes me so happy seeing you all create still in 2023 and beyond. Please never stop.
Thank you for bringing us back. ❤
What would make this complete, is a David Choi music video. So good guys! Makes me missing the old UA-cam so much! T_T
A Wong Fu and AJ Rafael collaboration JUICEBOX!!!
Wow. Take me back to the time I really want to be part of your circle of friends and singin all of your jams 😢😅
Don't you sometimes wish you can freeze an era of your life and just live it everyday at the same age..
Just hearing that GameBoy Advance sound had me bracing for tears. So much bittersweet nostalgia here, but so happy to see old friends still together. WF4L ❤
👾
God, I feel this so much, I miss those old days. AJ you've hit me right in the feels.
That "You good?" hit deep
AJ don’t ever think ur forgotten 💔 i will always love ur music and run back to it. I love this song so much 🥺
Loved this!! So fun seeing so many beloved and familiar faces! ❤❤❤
The vibes ❤💙💛
Great video, wish I can, take me back to the late 80s & 90s with friends we wish have kept in touch!
Ahhhhh. The memories!!! LOVE this!!!!
BROOOO MYSPACE 😥😥 Miss this era frfr
Yes!! 🎉🎉
what a throwback!! truly loved this :')
❤ love this guy still got them skills keep up the good work AJ
Beautiful music video! I remember hearing this song for the first time at one of AJ’s concerts a couple months ago and I cried then, and I cried now seeing his friends join him in the end ❤
Loved seeing everyone get back together in the couch scenes! That was so heartwarming
im crying this is for me
Great song, great singing, great collaboration with WongFu!
The throwbacks --oh we were so young!
David Choi 🥺❤
Love this! I remember when AJ's MV for Won't Even Start came out!
This song just proves that time is an illusion. At some points, one thing will feel like it happened yesterday. And at others, that same thing will feel like it happened 15 years ago. The mind is crazy lol. Thanks for taking us back with you AJ. Miss the "good ole days", but also can't wait for what's yet to come.
Omg this hit so hard. I love this so much!!
omg i am crying 😭❤
Watched it with AJ live on iG!!!! 🥹😍😍😍
In 2016, I stumbled upon WF's shorts, "The Last," which instantly turned me into a fan. From that moment on, I began binge-watching all of WF's content, fueling my interest and immense pride in Asian-Americans. I became an avid follower of the actors and actresses who starred in their shorts, getting to know them and their work. Surprisingly, believe it or not any Asian UA-camr who have gained fame later on, I had already discovered them through WFs shorts first.
ILY WF!!!!
WF prods. The best! ❤️❤️
When the video eneded I legit said, "boom!" LOL! 😆 Awesome vid. Btw I loved the slow floss looking dance move towards the end. 😁
David Choi 💛
Finna start having nostalgic tears
Golden Era. Now look where we're at; wreckless pranks, clickbaits, social media influencers thinking they're A-List celebrities, it's a damn mess.
This video was very wholesome. Thank you for bringing back the good old memories.
Took me back to a time where my friends would just hang on Friday nights and sit in a circle and just jam to AJ songs!
Brought all the right feels :)
Thanks AJ and Wong fu ❤🥲
Duuuude! Why did I just get so emotional! Love you AJ! Love you Wongfu! 🥺❤️
Loved it
Amazing work! Love the video 🥰

Ahh man, Meg and Dia Monster!!!
Always fun to see you guys all together in a video; reminds me of when i was young too, lol
Dang kuya been a fan forever. Class of 2001. Great song. Sharing with all the homies.
Yeah take me back to the dollar movies on 64th and Sheridan. Driving to Rock N Bowls on a Friday night, when I just learned to drive a manual in a new EJ Civic that week.
Thanks for the great song. Every Asian has their own memory regardless of where you're from. We just did Asian things and rolled with it back in the day.
I remember when wong fu prod was my life and the rest of the crew and all of their friends, take me back too
Love this!!
That was absolutely incredible. I listened to it four times in a row before going into the store. Great job AJ and Wong Fu.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
