00:00How did you feel when you first heard about the show?
00:05Initially, going into the concert, we thought it was just a reunion.
00:13But after the show, it was also a reunion with everyone in the audience.
00:18Everyone was saying that they watch us every Sunday.
00:24We were able to actualize the relationship that we have with them.
00:32We felt and saw each other more.
00:34And to be able to see that and to partake of that.
00:38It was great.
00:40It's been a long time since our last ASAP.
00:43We haven't been together for a while.
00:46Everyone enjoyed it.
00:47At the same time, our banter.
00:50Not just the songs or the music that they share.
00:55But also just watching us interact with each other.
00:58Apparently, they're having fun.
01:00Because it's like they're just watching each other.
01:05And they understand the way of the sessionistas.
01:09We have a segment in ASAP before the sessionistas.
01:15We have a letter and a song.
01:20They know.
01:21They know what we're doing.
01:23They're reacting.
01:24So, they're not the type of people who just go in.
01:28They know what the sessionistas are like.
01:34What's your question?
01:35You have a good eye.
01:42Let me ask you.
01:43You've known each other for a long time, right?
01:45Individually.
01:46You've known each other for a long time, right?
01:48Who is he?
01:49He's here.
01:51So, in terms of your relationship.
01:54How did you avoid rivalry?
01:57There's a lot.
01:59Revelry.
02:01Revelry.
02:02Revelry.
02:03Revelry.
02:04Revelry.
02:05Revelry.
02:06Revelry.
02:07You just need to be good at plastic.
02:08At the plastic festival.
02:09We just need to be good friends.
02:12After this, we'll just be together for a while.
02:15After that, it's over.
02:16Just for money.
02:17Just for money.
02:18Just for money.
02:28You're right.
02:29What is that?
02:30I'm not wearing a uniform.
02:33It's like an invoice.
02:34I didn't do anything.
02:35I didn't do anything.
02:36Did you pay for this?
02:39Did you pay for this?
02:40It's just a GC.
02:43It's a labor massage.
02:45Actually, I'm still amazed until now.
02:51It's typical.
02:52I mean, I'd like to think that it's typical in a group.
02:56That there can be someone like that.
02:58But, I honestly, I don't know about them, but I can totally say that even when we started,
03:07I didn't feel that.
03:10What I felt was actually more intimidating because we're like the same scene.
03:17We're like the same scene.
03:18We're more arrogant than them.
03:19That's it.
03:20That's another one.
03:21That's really intimidating.
03:22You're laughing because you're arrogant now.
03:25But, to your other prod.
03:31But, maybe, I'd like to say that these guys are not zombies at all.
03:38And, I feel like that's why we're swamped.
03:41Because, it's really the love of music that brings us all together.
03:46You know, and because of the love for our music, it has grown.
03:53Sometimes, we have a better appreciation for each other.
03:56So, it's really like that.
03:58I don't know.
03:59I don't know.
04:00I don't feel that.
04:01There's another one.
04:02Just this one.
04:03He doesn't want to know.
04:04He's good at this.
04:07Oh, why?
04:08Oh, why?
04:09He's laughing.
04:11Maybe, he'll answer.
04:13You know, it's more on the back.
04:14Surprise!
04:17But, let's go back to how we came up with this.
04:20The concept.
04:23In 2019, I really wanted to do it.
04:26I mean, no.
04:27In 2020, I really wanted to do it.
04:29Because, even when there's nothing going on with the dog, we would still like each other.
04:34But, Duncan really doesn't feel anything for us.
04:38Whatever.
04:39I can feel it in my eyes.
04:42Big revenge.
04:43Yeah, big revenge.
04:44That's why I told him.
04:45Ninong!
04:49So, in 2020, I really wanted to do it because of the pandemic.
04:53He was just there.
04:55I don't know if it was a gig or something.
04:57I just wanted to be with the dogs.
05:01Because, this is how we are.
05:02We're together.
05:04So, I said.
05:06So far, we've done Fire and Ice.
05:08Last year, I told them that I really want to do Transitionistas for February.
05:15Then, we tried it.
05:17It looked okay.
05:19I asked them about their trip.
05:20They said, it's okay.
05:22So, that's how it started.
05:24Since the first show was successful, and then there's the second.
05:31Is there a chance to bring him outside the country?
05:35To Jun's house.
05:37We'll bring him there.
05:38Because, a lot of people are already doing shows.
05:39No, it's nothing.
05:40It's nothing.
05:41But, it's like,
05:43going in here,
05:46to bring the Transitionistas together again.
05:51Of course, everyone has their priorities.
05:54Of course, there's his family, his career.
05:56But, definitely, that's the plan.
05:59That he can go around.
06:01We definitely want to.
06:02Yeah.
06:03Yes.
06:05You understand English.
06:07We really want to.
06:08That's why.
06:10Thank you so much.
06:12It's trending, not just the sync, but the dance numbers.
06:18Will that be repeated?
06:20Yes, yes.
06:21Thank you to our choreographer.
06:23Sorry, dance captain.
06:25Dance captain.
06:27No, no.
06:28It's really fun because they have a lot of commitment.
06:32Yes.
06:35We have to review, guys.
06:36We have to review.
06:37But, our first rehearsal was in the morning.
06:42That's rehearsal.
06:44So, the choreographer was teaching us.
06:46Why is he a choreographer?
06:47Of course, he's a dancer.
06:49So, it's like we're a team.
06:52I told him,
06:54it's impossible.
06:56I really can't think of it.
06:57It's been three weeks already.
06:59But, we did it.
07:01I'm so proud of you guys.
07:02We were so nervous.
07:03The choreographer told us.
07:05Congratulations.
07:06We're in good condition.
07:07The choreography is different.
07:09Because, there's a study.
07:11I heard that there's a study.
07:13Everything will start well.
07:15During the band rehearsals,
07:17they tried to shout to help them memorize.
07:20So, of course, they'll dance.
07:21The middle to end types.
07:23No one will sing.
07:24No one will sing.
07:28We said, either or.
07:29If we dance, there's no song.
07:31If we dance, there's no song.
07:34We can't do it.
07:35At that time, it's the same.
07:38But, in the show.
07:40Wow.
07:41At that time, it's the same.
07:42At that time, it's the same.
07:46We're okay now.
07:47Is there any difference
07:49in our next show?
07:52Almost the same.
07:53Almost the same.
07:54Because, I think,
07:57we'll do it one more time.
07:59Because,
08:01a lot of people didn't watch our first show.
08:04If we change it too much,
08:06it'll be a waste.
08:08And Duncan and Kian, for sure,
08:10they'll be included in the clues.
08:13So, I'm really hoping.
08:16I'm really hoping.
08:17And I hope Duncan will be included in this jacket.
08:21I'll look for it.
08:22And for those who don't know,
08:23there's a lot of mistakes.
08:26You can't hide it.
08:27They're all serious.
08:28They're all in the backstage.
08:29Guys, if you know,
08:30there's a lot of people in the front,
08:32backstage,
08:33so many people are wearing it.
08:36So, usually,
08:37you'll hear,
08:39Where's Duncan?
08:40Where's Duncan?
08:41Duncan.
08:42Duncan will come out.
08:43Because, Duncan,
08:44of course, he's very protective
08:46of his body.
08:48So, he won't move around.
08:49He'll change quickly
08:50wherever he is.
08:51He needs to go back to his basement.
08:56That's the truth.
08:57That's what I'm trying to explain.
09:00No, but there's really one,
09:01the one who sings,
09:02the one who's on the stage,
09:03the one who's in your solo.
09:04Then, it's like,
09:05it's okay, it's okay.
09:06Then, it's like,
09:07your song is almost over.
09:09Duncan's not here yet.
09:10Go ahead.
09:11Call him.
09:12Call him.
09:14Then, someone will come in
09:15and jump on the set.
09:17Go ahead.
09:18They're our raw core.
09:20Raw core.
09:22That's the real one.
09:23That's the real one.
09:24Yeah, girl.
09:25She's a polydictorian.
09:26She's a polydictorian.
09:27I didn't notice that.
09:29At least, she's there, guys.
09:33She's already here.
09:36Love you, Doc.
09:37In your reunion,
09:39did your friendship level up?
09:41Oh, yeah.
09:42Definitely.
09:43That's how I feel.
09:45Because,
09:46I said,
09:47why did we keep it
09:49a secret for so long?
09:52Ever since the sessionist
09:53left ASAP,
09:55it's like,
09:56we'll see each other every so often.
09:58We'll know each other.
09:59But,
10:00when we're together,
10:01it's like,
10:02why didn't we think of doing this
10:03back then?
10:04Yeah,
10:05the sessionist left ASAP.
10:06No,
10:07because there's a pandemic.
10:08There's a pandemic.
10:09But,
10:10let's do it later.
10:11The video.
10:12Yeah,
10:13let's do it later.
10:14Let's do it later.
10:15The pandemic.
10:17But,
10:18I really feel that
10:19it leveled up because,
10:21me,
10:23I'm friends with all of them,
10:24but,
10:25I can say that,
10:26I've created new,
10:27new ways to connect with Princess,
10:30to everybody,
10:31to City,
10:32to...
10:33This is for Drew.
10:36Maybe because,
10:37we've gotten older.
10:38Yeah.
10:39So,
10:40we've learned more about life,
10:42about careers,
10:43family,
10:44relationships,
10:45so...
10:47This is it.
10:48Because,
10:49Sits invited me
10:51for her YouTube channel.
10:52So,
10:53we went to South,
10:54but,
10:55Sissy and I went to North.
10:56So,
10:57I said,
10:58let's go to Carpool.
10:59So,
11:00we went to Carpool.
11:01We listened to music,
11:02we chit-chatted the whole time.
11:04So,
11:05it was so good.
11:07What else did you do?
11:08Were you all still single?
11:10Yeah.
11:11You're still single, Sis?
11:12Okay.
11:13We all got married
11:14while we were still single.
11:16Yeah,
11:17you were the first one.
11:18Right?
11:19This one.
11:20This one.
11:21Then,
11:22yeah,
11:23then,
11:24at that time,
11:25Sits and I were still broken-hearted.
11:27Don't,
11:28don't,
11:29don't answer that.
11:31Why?
11:32Then,
11:33That's what we're talking about.
11:35Yeah,
11:36that's a good topic.
11:37People might think
11:38I'm a drunkard.
11:43She's not a drunkard.
11:44Yeah.
11:45We just drank tequila.
11:46That's the location.
11:47That's enough.
11:48That's enough.
11:51So,
11:52there were major events
11:53in your life, right?
11:54Yeah.
11:55That's where your obsession is.
11:56A lot.
11:57A lot.
11:58What else did you do?
11:59Did you fight?
12:00Yeah.
12:01Did you fight when Liza and I got married?
12:02Yeah,
12:03the candle holder.
12:04The candle holder.
12:06The ripper.
12:07The ripper.
12:08The ripper.
12:09The candle sponsor.
12:11You're right.
12:12You're right.
12:13You're right.
12:14You're right.
12:15You're right.
12:16You're right.
12:17You're right.
12:18You're right.
12:20Let's talk about
12:21why you're always out.
12:25What was that about?
12:26Seriously,
12:27there's a GC.
12:28She's fast.
12:31There are even women
12:33who are online, right?
12:34There are.
12:35This is beautiful.
12:36Where's the other one?
12:37It's because they talk
12:37one-by-one
12:40Yeah.
12:43There's a problem
12:44publishing quotation marks all over the place.
12:45There's a problem
12:46Situation mark.
12:48If no one's asking, is this what he's saying to you or what?
12:50So if Duncan sees the double digit message,
12:54he won't give it to you?
12:56Do you know if there's an emoji?
12:58Smiling face?
13:00So you don't know what emoji?
13:02Is it 58?
13:0458 messages?
13:0658?
13:08It's so easy.
13:10Maybe half of them are from YouTube.
13:12We don't have any.
13:14It's either like that or nothing.
13:16Nothing.
13:18It's like he's being jealous.
13:20But,
13:22aside from friendship,
13:24how does it feel that your staying power is still there in the show business?
13:26Of course, it's because of the show,
13:28the culture.
13:30I know a lot of people.
13:32I watch a lot of your TikToks.
13:34I said, these people are famous
13:36without TikToks.
13:38But you're still there.
13:40So for me, that's a blessing.
13:42Because I think,
13:44anyone in this industry
13:46can actually say that
13:48if they stay for a long time,
13:50it's a blessing.
13:52But blessing, at the same time, hard work.
13:54And I think that's what's good
13:56about them,
13:58about all of us.
14:00We made sure that
14:02whatever it is that we put out there,
14:04it is good, it's excellent.
14:06And that helps us
14:08stay current.
14:10I'm happy that all of us
14:12are there.
14:14And the songs,
14:16I think that's also important.
14:18The songs that we put out
14:20since then,
14:22that's what
14:24set us in the hearts of people
14:26that spans generations.
