1. SOUNDBITE (English) REI AMI, EJAE, Audrey Nuna, recording artists:
Audrey Nuna: “I just saw Rebecca Black, that was cool. Cultural icon.”
Reporter: “Cultural icon, what’s your favorite Rebecca Black, I should say, moment?”
Audrey Nuna: “Actually, I saw her at this festival in Dallas called So What Fest, and it was like a revamp. Like, I haven’t seen her newest stuff. So to see her evolution was so sick. She was just like twirling and dancing on stage. It was just her and a mic. It was fire.”
REI AMI: “Rebecca actually invited me to do a little set for her DJ set a couple years back, so that was really fun. She’s incredible and I just, it’s been so amazing to watch her journey, really, as an artist. I’m so proud of her.”

2. SOUNDBITE (English) REI AMI, EJAE, Audrey Nuna, recording artists:
Audrey Nuna: “You know, it’s insane. It’s been a crazy progression, I feel like, right over the past many years of seeing K-pop grow. But I think this is just another echelon, another level of global dominance. And as a Korean, I fell proud because, you know, I think we all agree we would hide our smelly lunches growing up, and now it’s seeing animated kimbap in the movie is just epic.”
EJAE: “Yeah, growing up, no one really knew where Korea was, for me at least, you know, I’m older, so like, but it’s just crazy to see a movie that just shows all sides of Korean culture, and again, I went to sing-along and seeing everyone, non-Koreans as well, singing Korean lyrics, that was iconic. That was, I cried.”
REI AMI: “It’s mind-boggling. These kids know every word, every line of a movie, like not even the songs. They’re making their own commentary. It is so incredible. They do the kakao. They’re so smart. And they’re so funny. They get the rhythm, the beat, the timing, all of it down. In the sing-a-long, it was just so insane.”

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Lenny Tavárez, recording artist:
Reporter: “When the designer was working on this design, the tailor originally that was supposed to work on the design was deported, is that correct?”
“He was deported, I think, like two weeks ago, so that’s put more into the design, you know. That’s why I’m very grateful to be here and support all the immigrants that are suffering in this situation for their families, for their friends. It’s hard, it’s hard for a lot of friends that I have that are deported.”

4. SOUNDBITE (English) YUNGBLUD, recording artist – on Ozzy’s influence:
“Without knowing it, four guys from Birmingham, with Ozzy at the front of it, created a whole genre that, I don’t know, your favorite 50 artists spawned from. And then for him to go from Sabbath, change the world, and then go and change the world again with Ozzy, and bring this kind of commercial sensibility to rock music, and metal, with Randy and then Zach Wilde, just like, as a 10-Year-old in the north of England who just looks like this (opnes mouth wide) I’m like like I was watching… you know I mean I studied that shit man.”
