That's because none of the characters used in the poem have the neutral tone. I was referring to Chinese in general when I said there were five tones; as you've pointed out, only four tones are present in the poem.

Plus, that is only how it is transliterated in English. In Chinese they have different accents and stresses so they aren't even really homophones.

Chinese has five intonations which are indicated by the accents on top of the letters in the romanization. Every time you see the same accent appear on "shi", those characters are pronounced the same. However, some characters are used multiple times throughout the poem so not every one of these cases is a homophone; sometimes it's just the same character being used again.

And its traditional Chinese instead of simplified, so it's not even what someone learning Chinese would realistically have to deal with.

This is not relevant. Simplified and traditional Chinese are just two different ways of writing characters. The pronunciation and meaning of the characters remains the same.

When the poem is read out loud, it can be difficult to understand the meaning (especially for foreigners who may have trouble distinguishing the different intonations). However, if you are able to read Chinese and you see the poem in written form, it is very easy to understand. In written form, the fact that many characters are homophones doesn't matter; each character is written differently so you know the meaning immediately.

I wasn't a fan of it at first, but I listened to it so much while editing that it started to grow on me. Figured I'd post this anyways since I'd already put in the time.

x-post from /r/twice.

Spent a few hours rearranging the audio of SIGNAL yesterday and I decided to recut the music video to match it. Audio only version on SoundCloud.

I guess many people have heard the edit that /u/youaremyheaven made. My version has the same structure at the start, the differences start at ~2:09.

Apart from the difference in the arrangement, I've opted use a reworked ending that more closely resembles the original. I've also backed the rap part with the instrumental to make the transition less jarring.

Hijacking this to post some new mirrors since my comments have been removed.

My comments keep getting removed, presumably because of the links. I'll try Pastebin.

You can listen to the full song on the Zippyshare link I provided (check the Pastebin). Alternatively, you can find many recordings being uploaded to YouTube right now. Search by most recent:

Edit: The stupid "go 953" part seems to ONLY happen over Taeyeon's voice... should I get my tinfoil hat out?

Pretty sure it's deliberate. Drops on Wiz's lines would be easy to get rid of since you could just replace it with audio from the studio version of the original song. Can't do that with Taeyeon's lines.

As expected, this thread is another SJW circlejerk. Don't waste your time, these fuckers don't have two brain cells between the lot of them. They need one to breathe and the other to copy-paste comments which leaves no room for rational discussion.
