They have a small genre of their songs that sound like Anpanman, their ‘this is quirky and upbeat but watch the lyrics and you might doubt it’ selection. They’re always B-sides so they’re not as well known but always fun. GO GO, Attack on Bangtan, Am I Wrong, and Spinebreaker are four of my fave Anpanman adjacent songs.

anpanman does have choreo! but this was an extension of the love yourself tour and they dropped it for these concerts to have fun instead. there are def live performances around with the original choreography, it's very good choreo if you want to check it out

While I like this performance of Anpanman, you should also check out an Anpanman performance with choreography. I love the Anpanman choreography so much.

Anpanman is a a comic Japanese superhero. He’s a red bean bread man Anpanman is a red bean bread man and the world’s weakest hero. He doesn’t have any superpowers like Batman or Superman, but is a kind hero who helps those in need and gives to hungry people pieces of his face, which is made out of red bean bread. If Batman and Superman are star heroes that can fly anywhere in a flash, Anpanman is a bourgeoisie hero who is always nearby and stays by your side for a long time. BTS uses the metaphor of anpanman. They’re saying “We don’t have any powers and we can’t fly, but we can give you hope and happiness through our music” It’s such a happy and upbeat song. I’m so happy I saw this live 💜 P.S: anyone remember during the ly tour when they performed this with the big jump house? Fun times lol! And it does have a choreography too, and I learned it for fun 😂

The choreo to Anpanman is one of the best from the Boys!!! It's extremely upbeat and fast paced!!! One of my absolute favourite from them! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

It's actually a very cute choreo for this song.😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Definitely watch the CITI MUSIC Anpanman performance. Its easily their best performance for the song. Full choreography and vocals crystal clear.

In a way you are like Anpanman. You offer your heart, a safe place to get together and just enjoy good music. I appreciate that you always end your streams letting people know you are there for them and whatever you can help or just listen you are there. We have our Anpanman! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I love that you pointed out the genuineness and the message behind BTS is all about being positive and humble. It is enlightening to see someone else shares the same view.

This song does have choreography. You should check out the live show where they do the dance!

I watched the entire tour and Anpanman was so fun because of the blow ups hahaha. They are truly so fun and crazy. Just being their playful selves. There's nothing like HAPPY Bangtan. 😂😂😂💜💜💜

The dance and choreo for this song is super cute and I love it. They perform it live on tv and they were all so cute and cool.

You would also probably enjoy the live performances of this song where Jimin runs away from RM when he’s trying to give him some Anpan. Too funny!!

I love it when they have fun with this song, but i also love the choreo it has!! 🥰🥰

their choreo for this is so good, too. on your own time, check out the good morning America performance.

anpanman is a fictional cartoon japanese superhero who tries his best to help his community although he gets hurt and made fun of in the process; that's what the song is about, they're calling themselves our (armys) anpanman

i freakin' love this song! On any given day I have one or many BTS songs stuck in my head. I've only been ARMY for a little over a year, so I'm still learning their catalog. But I cannot count the times I wake up in the morning & the first song I hear in my head is V singing "WAITING FOR YOU ANPANMAAN..." I've decided to believe my brain is telling me it's hungry so it's ok to quit Keto & Intermittent Fasting & eat carbs for breakfast when I get up & V is the only one who can get through to me! 😂

You should check out the KZfaq Mnet K-POP Anpanman. You probably enjoy it better. Also there is another live performance where Jimin runs away from RM. The look on RM face was hilarious.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, John, for watching the explanation to Anpanman! It's such a fun song, but the meaning behind it is what makes it one of my favorites. Super hype for the last 4 BTS songs of the month. 💜 Now just patiently waiting for "Best of Me". 😊 **Question: For "Go Go" on Halloween, will you be reacting to the costumed dance practice?? Because BTS's "War of Hormone", "21st Century Girl", and "Go Go" Halloween dance practices are iconic! 😄💜🎃 Bangtan chaotic energy at its very best!

This has always been one of my favorite songs. 😁💜

This song is in my top 5

This is my top 5 Bangtan performance 💜 I love dancing and all but i love more when they just have fun on stage🤷

This song is instant happiness 💜🖤💜🖤🖤💜

Yes. I saw this LIVE in concert back in May 2019 at MetLife Stadium. Got presale tickets for their next concert: MOTS7 the following year in same month, which would've been my 5th consecutive year seeing them LIVE in concert, but pandemic happened. 😭💜

AYYYYYYYY I love this song so much, specially live!! Thanks so much for all your reactions John! Unfortunately I can't afford patreon, so I can't see every reaction. But I love how much you love the boys 💜💜💜💜

Love this song and the choreography is fun as well! Thanks for this reaction.

Anpanman was actually the first BTS song and choreography I watched! I love this song sooo much. It made me wanna know about the members. That choreo is great. 😍👍

Anpanman is such a freaking vibe! So glad you’ve listened to it. ✌️

This is one of the best BTS songs in my opinion

Thank you ,bro 🥲❤️‍🩹🫂

Anpanman is such a unique hero that it makes the song even more unique. I love that BTS can take ideas that we've heard before a million times and repackage it in a new, creative, refreshing way. We've all heard songs about wanting to help or save people but this feels so different yet so perfect for BTS. Of course they would be the sort of heroes to admit their faults, refuse to let you see them as perfect, show that they are selfless and will give of themselves to help others. It's inspiring too. It reminds us that we don't need to be anyone special or powerful or affluent to lend a helping hand to someone.

Anpanman does have a choreo, also there are songs that they perform live that have a choreo but the boys prefer to just party with the fans instead of doing a hard choreography reason for that can be because they want to party with us with that song or because of the setlist, if the setlist have many songs with diferents choreographies the boys have to choose which of the songs to dance or not to dance otherwise they can get worn out.

That is the beat way I have heard the duality of BTS’s magic. The music is beautiful, fun, what have you and then if you get into the meaning of the sings they are so meaningful is so many ways and they touch on such a wide range of emotions and experiences. How do they know all this stuff to draw upon? Art, literature, history... I mean they started so young and they are still not that old. They are something else.

This song brought me to BTS ☺️

I went to this show and their energy is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I loved watching them have fun on the bouncy slide and it was definitely worth flying across the country to see them.

I live in Japan, and my husband is Japanese. Not only that Anpanman is huge in Asian countries, it's especially very popular in Japan because even older generation know about it; I think even more than Disney's characters. Everyone grew up with this character in their life, from toys, videos, songs and many franchised items (e.g. snacks, stationary, clothes, bags, utensils). Anpanman (and his friends) is a selfless character, willing to sacrifice themselves to help others, and having this positive uplifting personality. These values strike a chord within Japanese communal mentality, where the goods of the many is more important than oneselves. Parents continue to introduce Anpanman character to their children as a way to teach values. I got chill thinking about it, how BTS created this song as an omage to a beloved character. Remember that iconic Anpanman performance from MAMA 2018 ? Not only J-ARMY... Everyone there and their mamas love Anpanman💜

I simply LOVE all of their fun/message songs that aren't normally listened to!

Thanks for covering this! This is one of my "go to" songs when I need to energize up and face whatever I gotta face for the day (and I work in a hospital so it could be anything!). Anpanman just energizes me and reminds me I'm not in the fight of life alone!

I saw this at my first BTS concert at MetLife and I enjoyed seeing them have so much fun 😂🎉💜

I never seen Band like this my entire life Yes they are so different and Unique they are the cryziest and sweetest mixed together like HONEY😂😅

Boyz with Fun by BTS is so much fun too!

Just like apanman gives a peace of his anpan head(bread head) to ppl in need, BTS give us their good music and performances which is part of themselves to us with same sincerity it's really very nice and catchy song with some heartwarming meaning behind it uwu

I love your show! Keep up the good work!! Army 💜💜💜💜

One of my favorites for sure. Different from anybody else.

There is actually a beautiful version of this with choreo which they did for KBS or one of the other shows. It's one of my faves.

Actually Anpanman does have choreography they just didn’t do it for this tour, which is the Love Yourself Speak Yourself tour

You’re so right. The music is great anyway but the genuineness of their messages sets them apart . Another unusual one but in an incredibly sophisticated way is “134340 Pluto”. Only RM could write about a defunct planet. And kudos to the stylist who dressed them in Chanel for the live. 👌

I love live from Japan MAMA 2018, all songs that they performed at this award show were great, but Anpanman was great there, and bc it is japanese character I think japanese fans were even more excited.

they do this song in an award show in HK and the army bomps make this award like if you were in BTS concert. was awesome.

I love it when you have this reaction with the song explaination. I jever thought it would be that wholesome 😭 i know anpanman is that japanese character but woww that explaination 😭🌟 this song was one of the earliest bts songs that i've heard, it was my first fav song (i become a fans not long time, it was about april/may of 2023)

Exactly, that's the magic of BTS 💜

Next Go Go at an awards night its the coolest performance I've seen from sn awards night....lol 🤣🤣🤣

Gran reacción! Totalmente de acuerdo! Por eso amamos a BTS es más que buena música, cada canción tiene un gran mensaje y es real y auténtico como ellos!

Definitely added to my playlist. A great 'driving down the highway with a bunch of morons, so i better be in a good mood' song. 🙂

shucks!always miss the live . still happy just to watch it

They actually do have choreography for this song they just didn't do it here. You would love the choreography. It's really fun.

Loved your reaction. I love this song and they are so awesome that it makes you want to get up and dance. It’s so vibing music. Stay safe.❤😊

The BTS ability to take such a bizarre and wholesome superhero who is the “weakest” and make a stunning beautiful metaphor and also a total bop. Try to explain it to anyone in a sentence or two and you sound like a total weirdo too. 😂. “No this song about a bread head hero is Cathy and emotional and they play on slides live”. No other band I’ve seen has ever just decided to take an inflatable playground break just cause they are so whimsical and playful. Like other people use sex to sell BTS just decided to create the most unique stage just for LOLs but also to give them a play break a visually interesting stage but something you’ll never forget. It also totally fits their personality. When we say you never know what to expect with BTS the 7 weirdos (weird in the best way) go in every direction in the same damn concert. Adore this song and the meaning is so deeply important to me. Instant mood lift.

This is one of my favorite performances!! They look like they’re having so much fun. I absolutely love their dancing, but I love to watch them enjoy their own shows too.

I Love this Song 😊💜💜

The choreo exists and is amazing! Check it out yourself just for fun!

This is my HYPE SONG!!! It makes ME want to help others as well. This is a cold word anymore, but I want to help anyone I can, anytime

Dis-ease is a must hear. Written mainly by J-Hope with some chorus help from Jimin. Such a fabulous song

This song gives me a full energy

I think this song is GENIUS! The deceptively simple lyrics about childhood fantasies belie the deeper message of kindness as a superhero quality. And add to that the retro video game sound effects and it’s just pure perfection. To me, this song epitomizes BTS 🥰

Totally agree with everything you said. Love your reactions, always. 👍

There is choreography with a different live. Love it!

Anpanman man was one of my highlights of the love yourself your 😂 I loved it so so much 🥺

one of my faves.

Awesome Reaction! BTS has a song called MA City that I think you might like a lot. I love Anpanman and others song that remind me of it are as follow: Run BTS - recently song live at Busan Concert Spine breaker Silver Spoon GoGo 21st Century Girls Jump Come Back Home Dope

awwww i wish you reacted to the live performance on the music show where they danced the choreo! its really fun and theatrical!

BOOM LOVE YOUR REACTION ✌💜

Oh I wish you watched a live performance with the choreo and one without, the choreo is so fun and playful yet also really skilled. Maybe another time then? I hope you'll see one of those too at some point if it's not too much trouble 🙄💜

Me too, love her soothing voice. I love this song cause the choreo is so much fun You should watch the choreo. Yes BTS are our ANPANMAN. They feed our souls. My God, who could have thought of putting inflatables on a stage and do foolish things and slide while singing. They are our happiness for sure.

That is the magic❤️

They performed this in Good morning America with the choreo.

Like you've pointed out, Anpanman is really unique in the BTS repertoire - its hard to find another song similar to it. Like so many have commented, the choreo is really fantastic, with so many outstanding live examples like the Japan MAMA 2018 performance. Sure this live one is fun, with them playing with the inflatables but there's plenty of those in BTS Run. Do watch another live version with proper choreo, you would definitely appreciate it more.

I like this format. I appreciate you checking the explanation video. Always interesting to know meaning behind a song

Only BTS can be so chaotic and funny on stage...

It actually has awesome choreo! You should check it out!

Similar their song go-go very very fun light song that is actually a critique to some aspects of consumerism

To see the choreography go to Anpanman @ TODAY Citi music series. They could have just called it their MV for this song. Borahae BTS from Canada.

This is their most fun song…in my opinion!!!😁

The rose bowl stadium was the first of all the big success for bts 90.000attendants

BTS are just a different breed ! It’s really fun to watch them turning there concert to a playground !😂 Nice reaction tho!💜

That morbid thought is right as well.

This song definitely has choreo - have to watch another performance

Awww my 7 anpanman 💜 🥰

I love BTS' lyrics. The depth makes me keep on coming back

No one can do it like bts 💜

I saw it live in one of there concerts amazing

Love their perfomanses

Yaaaas i was waiting for this song, thanks John

Is pure joy!!!!

Esta canción me hace sonreír y querer bailar ¿A ustedes?

One of my top 5 favorite BTS songs! 💜 Well I mean there are way more than 5 favorites… Also the choreo version is so good!

I've been watching your channel from the shadows for a few weeks now--but at 7:48 I became a subscriber! Such a funny, honest, my-mind-is-blown moment. 😍😂

Ayyye anpanman 😆

I love this song. And I always love your reaction. Btw, have you see video "Jin drunk with Lee Young Ji"? You must watch it. It's hilarious. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

John , Anpanman does have choreo, you just checked one that has them freestyling on stage but you should watch the choreo its really really good as with anything BTS does, you know .. I just love the message You don't have to have muscles and superpowers to be a hero for someone .. being there for them in their time of need makes you a hero to them .. only BTS man 👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
