Rain 51db, Sonatine and Everyday I Love You analysis/theories

(Because I love these songs)

I feel like Rain 51db has a bigger importance in the lore of the LOONAVERSE than people give it credit for. Namely in terms of timeline and influence/motives.

1. In the beginning we see moments from the debut solos and group song of 1/3 in the following order: Around You, Love&Live, Let Me In, Everyday I Love You, ViVid. Then the video starts. The description for Rain 51db (written in Sonatine’s description states that LOONA 1/3 time-travels back. So assuming LOONA 1/3’s timeline is linear, then the order of events should go like this:

ViVid —> Everyday I Love You —> Let Me In —> Love&Live —> Around You

(I cling to this a lot when I’m making timelines gesgkoihgdw)

(However, this won’t necessarily apply to all of my timelines)

2. The description for Rain51db also states that LOONA 1/3 have dreams that they do not wake from. This means that any ‘dreams’ they have reflect, even influence, their reality. Maybe they’re memories, visions of the future, lucid parts/places where the members can meet. And I think this ‘dream’ status is signalled by the way it’s filmed; namely if it is based on a VHS tape or not.

Thus we go to Everyday I Love You:

1. Now it’s universally agreed upon that the boy on the left represents Yves. But what about 1/3? Well if you know my views on The Colour Theory, then you can guess where I’m going with this. They’re Choerry and the rest of yyxy.

There are small details that appear in/parallel future mvs: notice how Haseul/Go Won wears a ribbon like in love4eva and wears no hat (or earrings), unlike the other yyxy (y) members; how Heejin/Olivia Hye and ‘Yves’ wear similar white shirts and hats like they wear similar white dresses in new and Egoist; notice how, while everyone else wears mostly monotone clothing, Hyunjin/Choerry has a coat with her signature colour, and also does not wear a head accessory.

This would make ViVi’s dream not just a memory of new, but also of The Carol 2.0, possibly more. In that case, what are the other members here for?

2. There are a few other parts of choreography that I find interesting also shown in the video: Yeojin making Chuu’s ending pose in love4eva, Hyunjin acting sadly as she claps her hands together, etc. But what got me is one specific bit: as the bridge leads into the final verse, we see everyone clicking in time with the music, except Yeojin, who despite wearing a mask, has it uncovered for the whole MV. What if ViVi’s dream is shared with all of the 1/3 members, and Yeojin sends a signal as if to try to communicate with them? How are they sharing this dream?

To answer that latter question, I’d like to bring up Sonatine and ViVid. ViVid is all about how Heejin wants to bring colour into her life, and she specifically asks for red, orange, yellow and green (Kim Lip, Yeojin/Chuu, Hyunjin, Haseul/Go Won). Say after this, Sonatine occurs; the 1/3 members are together but have not met, and Heejin, unknowingly or not, brings out their colours. ViVi, who has her galaxy eye, somehow takes all of their colours in, and ends up projecting them into her memory/dream (though Yeojin isn’t there, she is stuck in a place which may provide her with the power to have lucid dreams). This event then draws them together to form 1/3.

Of course this leads to more questions. Is Yeojin on the plane of another subunit? Where (or who) did ViVi get her galaxy eye from and why is she an android? Where do the other 1/3 songs fit in? I have no clue yet, but feel free to leave comments!

ooh i really like your looped theory! where do you think let me in takes place? on earth somehow? is it a vision that becomes real? is it just metaphorical? none of the above?

I’ll be honest, it was really tricky to place the MVs of 1/3 down just because their MVs are so stylised in different ways that they end up being isolated from the lore and each other.

My main reason for putting it in the Earth timeline is that it’s much more connected to Haseul’s animal than her colour, but tbh, it was also the fact that the 1/3 girls seem really... passive in most stories, and I wanted them to have SOMETHING to do rather than just be bystanders. And they don’t have the largest roles here either but at least they don’t have nothing.

There are some theories about Haseul being possessed by the bird spirit, which happens to some extent in the LOOPD theory, so I do think that Haseul chasing down that bird spirit had some level of realism. Also unlike the MVs I put in the dream timeline, Let Me In never has any video tape filters/edits on it. Long story short, Earth kind of gets funky with the arrival of non-Earth members, so Let Me In is real and takes place on Earth.

Anyway, I’m glad that you liked my theory! Hope it wasn’t too incoherent hrsbjbcrujng
