The most recent episode of YouTube Channel THE FIRST TAKE has been announced.

SB19, a five-member Filipino boy band, makes its debut on THE FIRST TAKE in Episode 449.

SB19 is the first Southeast Asian artist to be nominated for Top Social Artist at the 2021 U.S. Billboard Music Awards, where they will perform their song “GENTO,” which gained popularity on TikTok due to its addictive phrase and innovative dance techniques.

Enjoy the song, which emphasizes the concept that “it is the accumulation of small efforts that leads to success,” in a special rendition created only for THE FIRST TAKE.

“It was a true first take, so we were very nervous and overwhelmed, but it was fun and an amazing experience,” SB19 shares. “Above all, we are grateful for this opportunity and for being able to represent the Philippines by performing our song here. We are honored to showcase our music and culture to the world through THE FIRST TAKE.”

THE FIRST TAKE is a Japanese YouTube channel that has famous singers and performers from around the world performing a song in one take. The First Take videos are shot in a studio and feature the performing artist and a microphone against a white background.

SB19, on the other hand, is the first Southeast Asian group and the first Filipino artist to be welcomed to the influential music media site. Following the first announcement, HALA THE FIRST SB19 rose to No. 1, 2, and 35 on X’s trend list in the Philippines, Japan, and Worldwide, respectively.

Aside from this honor, the Philippines’ five-member boy quintet was just nominated for Favorite Asian Act at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
