The story in the MV for SHINee's "1000 years, Always By Your Side" is about how SHINee are the angels of death who guide the dead from the afterlife to Heaven. The pages of the book SHINee have are a record of each person's history and it shows pictures of meaningful or important moments in each person's life. Everyone who was boarding the bus are ghosts or spirits and the bus is taking them to Heaven. SHINee are there to make sure everyone makes it on the bus that is supposed to. We then see the little boy in the hospital and his mother is crying as the doctors tell her that her son is sick. The man we see is the boy's father and he is trying to cheer the boy up with the clown nose, the same way he used to do in the memories we see in the pictures in SHINee's book. But if you notice, the boy looks like he isn't even paying attention, and that's because he can't see his father because his father is dead. (The father died right before the boy became sick. I always feel bad for the mom because her husband has recently died and now her son is sick.) However, when someone dies, they have a short time to complete any unfinished business they have on Earth before they have to leave. So that is why we see SHINee looking at their pocket watches because they are counting down the time until the man has to leave. SHINee are just there observing what happens and routing for the man, hoping that he is able to accomplish everything he wants to before his time is up. The man just wants one more chance to see his son smile, so he comes up with the plan to launch all those balloons into the sky outside his son's window, as a way to say I am here and I will always be with you in your memory. And, as we saw, it was a success. We see his son happy and smiling as he sees the balloons floating past his window. After seeing his son smile one last time, the man has completed his business here on Earth, so he boards the bus and heads off to Heaven. Then we see SHINee's watches glow because everyone's time here on Earth is up and it's time for them to head to Heaven. Putting their fists in the air is something they used to do as a family, so we see everyone put their fists in the air to show their connection to each other and that they will never forget and that they are all routing for them, etc. You definitely need to see SHINee perform "1,000 Years, Always By Your Side" live. It's even more powerful when you hear them sing it live. SHINee's Japanese songs and MVs always hit differently. They are so powerful and they often have epic storylines within the song lyrics and MVs. "1,000 Years, Always By Your Side" is one of my favorite Japanese tracks.
SHINee is so good, and I'm very happy you watched this video. I don't think it gets the love and attention that it deserves. 💜 Thank you for your reaction!!
Roscoe, your ability to interpret a story is incredible. When this song was first released, Japanese people were confused, and I remember having many discussions with my English-speaking friends about why the father is already dead. At first glance, it seems like the son is ignoring the clown action his father performed. But in reality, he cannot see the presence of his father's spirit. Going back one more scene, neither the doctor nor the mother make eye contact with the father. He is an invisible being. At this point, Japanese people can easily understand that "Oh, he is no longer of this world." However, even people who can read Japanese still look at that old newspaper article and say, "What does that mean?" When I am called to heaven, I would like to ride on that Grim Reaper's bus while delivering invisible love to my loved ones.
SHINee's ballads and Japanese discography really got me following the geoup. this is my umtimate fave SHINee song and MV. (I'm a fil major, so i am biased to this mv😅)
I first heard this song not too long after my own father passed away. And I understand a good bit of Japanese, so the lyrics hit me too. You can imagine I bawled like a baby. I still cry whenever I try to sing along with this song. It's so beautiful.
Have you seen their MV for Kimi no Sei de? I know it's blocked in many countries (you can find it in full with English subs on my channel) but it's REALLY worth checking out. it LOOKS very simple, but the amount of emotions it still manages to convey is insane. I still cry every time I watch it....
I'm very lucky to have grown up with SHINee, they gave us so much ❤ Mv is so beautiful that the story is literally immersive, while SHINee also caresses his soul with their voice 😊
Shinee is really great. I hope you react to their music video "Countless" or "Our Page" sometime. And maybe also to BigBang's HaruHaru, Loser or Tell me Goodbye
SHINee es genial Ningun grupo del KPOP lo iguala. Sus canciones MV Conciertos otro nivel. 16 años con sus perdidas tropiezos haciendo brillar la industria. Como el significado de su nombre. BRILLANTE Siempre seran referencia para las nuevas generaciones en todo sentido. No embalde .es referencias de lo que debe ser un grupo en rodo sentido Gracias ROCOES por reaccionar a nuestros principes 😊

I can’t even hear this song without crying!
I'm glad to see your video didn't get blocked! This gem of SHINee's Japanese discography is beautiful. Thank you for your reaction 💜
their ballad songs never fail. thankyou for the reaction n always support shinee🥹🤍
HARMONIES, HARMONIES ,HARMONIES=SHINEE. NO ONE DOES HARMONIES LIKE SHINEE🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵SHINEE WILL ALWAYS BE FIVE🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵MISS YOU JONGHYUN.🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
This is my all time favorite SHINee MV (and I also adore the song itself), followed by the MV for Get the treasure.
You and me both! I dunno why but Get the Treasure is so unpopular 😢
@SHINeePotato it might be too painful for some people, being the last MV filmed as 5, I don't know...
This is probably one of my favourite SHINee songs. When it came out, I listened on repeat for weeks. lol
You missed when the Dad opened the suitcase the stairs behind him looked like angel wings.👼
This why it helps to know cultural references. This is great story storytelling. Whoever came up with this storyboard definitely needs a raise.
I love the live performance of this..
When the story transcends language…. Well done!!
SHINee is so good, and I'm very happy you watched this video. I don't think it gets the love and attention that it deserves. 💜 Thank you for your reaction!!
The vocals....subtle, powerful and emotional all at once...

So glad you watched this. This song and Password are my favorite Japanese songs from #5HINee
this and 'kimi no sei de' always make me cry
This one makes me cry every time.
I loved your reaction to this, it's such a good song, and their vocals always make me cry, but the video is also so good!
You have to watch SHINee -Kimi No Sei De mv from their live perform in Tokyo Dome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
One of my favourite Japanese track of SHINee.
SHINee's ballads and Japanese discography really got me following the geoup. this is my umtimate fave SHINee song and MV. (I'm a fil major, so i am biased to this mv😅)
As a shawol, your reaction was also chef's kiss 🤌

I'm not crying😭 you are
Love shinee
In the first half of the song, the MV looked like SHINee (shinigami) was waiting for the kid. So it became a shock when they took the dad.
Gosh, I forgot how good this song is... The mv makes mr cry but it's too beautiful not to watch 🥹
I put the end scene with them 5 raising their fists as wallpaper bcs only Shawols understand the reference (hopefully) 🥹
Shinee is really great. I hope you react to their music video "Countless" or "Our Page" sometime. And maybe also to BigBang's HaruHaru, Loser or Tell me Goodbye
Countless and Our Page coming soon 💜
@@ThisRoscoe Just be aware the lyrics are pretty necessary to fully appreciate Our Page - SHINee wrote them!
Who am I kidding, I still cried this time too 😭😭😭
I cried the first time I watched this MV. 😭
Amamos a shineeeee❤❤❤❤
This song is so precious ❤ I love it so much.... u should watch K.Will videos are so incredible and tell story amazing

Mission? He doesn't want to leave while his family is in crisis
Conheci kpop em 2012 com o grupo SHINee❤❤❤❤❤
I agree that the video is good. But I still love their live performance on 9/2013 more.
❤❤❤
💜💜
Good morning, Tam Tam. 💜
