黑方格BlackBlog (formerly known as Black Blorchestra),[1] is a music video channel that is operated from Hong Kong. Their most popular video is the music video of the unofficial anthem of Hong Kong called "Glory to Hong Kong", "Glory be to thee, Hong Kong", or 願榮光歸香港.
Glory to Hong Kong was created by an anonymous person (under the name "Thomas dgx yhl"), and unlike other anthems, this was an original song. The owner of the channel is unknown, and the people of Hong Kong are generally negative of the official national anthem of China.
The videos are two minutes long, and the video is in Standard Cantonese. Even though the video is in Cantonese, there are a lot of English language comments, and the video takes place in an orchestra. There are millions of views for the video,[2] and the video is in 4k.
The video is filmed in super widescreen which does not look natural on a 16:9 monitor, and there is overwhelming support for the video and movement. There is a dark theme to the video since the video is dark on purpose during the filming process.
The about page is currently blank providing any more detail,[3] and the music video is now privated.[4]
The flags are used by the protesters and the government which are shown below.
