    The Mixer has specifically asked Calli to Identify the Highest and Lowest note she could sing and came back with a "Tehe I included your entire range in this song! Have fun!" That's why those really high notes appeared. It was just the Mixer challenging our Reaper to pretty awesome effect I'd say.

    • @saynay302
      @saynay302 2 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      I think she does it to fit the mood she is going for at that part. Much like the somewhat off-kilter rhythm at one point, giving a sense of things going off the rails, only for it to snap back to the rhythm with the "I seize control" line. Perhaps those megaphone-esk lines are meant to signify unclear, intrusive thoughts or worries?

    • @SKy_the_Thunder
      @SKy_the_Thunder 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I prefer it over what a lot of Japanese produced music does, which often goes to the other extreme and treats the music like a throwaway background noise that only exists so the singer has some level of background. That might be since I'm mainly listening to anything adjacent to the Rock genre where every band member is a part of the song, not just the singer - but in my mind the instruments and lyrics should coexist and play into another, not drown each other out.

  • @dragonbretheren
    @dragonbretheren 2 ปีที่แล้ว +91

    12:16 One interesting thing to note is that this track was released hours after the first time she would perform on an actual stage with the rest of Hololive with her full 3D model in front of thousands of live attendees and thousands more watching the PPV live stream. Calli had performed small local venues like bars and nightclubs before joining Hololive, but the concert this weekend was a really big milestone for the Hololive English Gen 1 and Indonesia Gen 1 girls.
    Even then, she only got to perform one song (Red) during the concert, so this MV is also serving as a display of what her new 3D model is capable of.
    Speaking of vTuber models, the live person behind the vTuber avatar is often referred to as the character's "soul". So just my personal speculation that the chorus about "to move forward, the lore is I must be void inside" implies that conventional wisdom states she has to strip away her IRL self (and by extension her previous rap identity) and embody the character of Calliope Mori in order to be successful. But her final turn on the line is her denial of that ideal, holding tight to her personal identity.

    • @North862
      @North862 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I love that last part about denying the ideal of abandoning her IRL personality because her old Identity is resurfacing aswell in various other places. Definitely her trying to avoid losing herself as the Calli Identity.

    Her favorite weapons include her scythe (nicknamed "Ricky") and the flail, a medieval weapon made from a spiked metal ball on a chain.
    Calliope is noted for having one of the most lowest pitched voice in hololive, even more so than likes of Nekomata Okayu, Tokoyami Towa and A-chan. Although fluent in English, Calliope often fails to understand current modes of speech, such as the use of contractions or modern slang. She is easily flustered by romance, leading some to call her the "tsundereaper."
    When not on camera, however, she is described as air-headed and hopelessly forgetful. Kiara has mentioned that she frequently misplaces things despite leaving them in an obvious place, like leaving her cellphone in her jacket. She also works exceptionally hard, perhaps too much so.

  • @vision4860
    @vision4860 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    She actually said almost the opposite about the "numbing pain is numbing happiness" line.
    IIRC she said that basically earlier in her career as Calliope Mori, she ended up numbing herself to the measure of negativity that she got so that she could push through, but it also limited her happiness as she just worked. So she had to learn to live with the negative so she could feel the positive more fully.

  • @Kaikkster

    FYI, the entire album is already out for streaming on Spotify, YT Music etc. Unalive (title track) is the first to get a music video, most of the other ones will get one in the future. Dead on Arrival might be super interesting to check out, since it's in a genre I haven't seen you talk about much and an absolute banger. Going back to the first EP with a song like "Dead Beats" might also be a nice change of pace and return to a more "regular" hip hop style track.

    Love the Calliope reactions man! I like what you said about this one perhaps being one of those tracks that ages like fine wine, I think that's true. Personally I find many of her songs to have that quality that you can listen to them maybe even 10-15 times and still find something you missed during all the previous listens, whether it's in the lyrics or in the mix.
    If you're planning on reacting to more from the new album I'd recommend "Dead On Arrival", "Lose-Lose Days", or "Resting Power". All absolute bangers!

    chipmunk sound is her actually trying to hit the upper end of her range, doesn't quite get it imo, and the master doesn't do her any favors... great song, and the last rap segment is one of my favorite bits of writing and delivery she's done but the singing wasn't her strongest... it's def. come a long way from when she started but this would be a challange for anyone, the range asked of her is nuts.
    The off kilter delivery was def. intentional coupled with her doing some kind of exaugurated mix of idol dancing and rap performance at the same time, i think it's about streaching the lines and putting more in not sure it's 100% successful but it grew on me a lot after a couple of listens
    'envying the stage' makes me think she's looking at the rest of the idols at the company, performing live and to real crowds. It makes me think she's looking at other challanges she can take on even if she keeps being the character, maybe stepping towrds the traditional idol role more.
    Later in the song she mentions never thinking she's beg to be deceaserd -- maybe beg to stay the character? There's been some shakeups at the company she's at and some characters have been shirked into retirement and a lot of the stars had to come to terms with if they make mistakes the charcaters they've been playing can ultimately be taken away from them -- sure she could keep gong as an artist, but she sure seems to like being mori -- would she beg to stay if she fucked up? Would it come to that?
    btw, the tech they use to actually do the live shows is kinda nuts if you've never seen it. They actually project the vtubers onto a stage as 'holorams' (no idea what the right term for it is...volumentric displays? basically it looks like either magic or scifi.) using real time motion tracking, augmented reality, and some other magic to let them perform live in character to live music. as someone with the bare basics of mixing/music/ live show knowledge and a decent bit of tech it's kinda mind boggling what must go into making the show go off seamlessly

      The off-kilter part also meshes perfectly with the scenery in the MV, with the church (-> her world) falling to pieces around her as she spills out her dark thoughts, lost in this broken flow.
      But then she turns it around with "Take control!", transitioning out of that set (the only indoor/closed location) and not returning to it for the rest of the video. While it's not a perfect world she finds herself in and she has to fight herself even, it's open and free to explore - not as cold and restricted as the church setting was.

    I do like hearing people react to Calli's music, big fan of hers. Seeing other people's perspectives on her writing is super interesting. She packs so much stuff in there that I don't always catch the details, too - I absolutely the symbolism in the "Diamonds or Spades" line for example.
    On "Numbing Pain is Numbing Happiness" - I think it relates to the void inside stuff. She's supposed to be cold, emotionless, and that suppresses pain, but it suppresses happiness too.
    More of a fan of her slower raps too, when she goes really fast her voice does get lost a bit.

    Calli has a new song called CapSule with another Hololive member, Suisei. It's her first song under Universal Music which is absolutely wild if you want to check that out.
    If you're willing to dive into the rabbit hole, Tokoyami Towa's Palette which is her first original. Lyrics are in Japanese but they put the translations with through the CC.
    Also if you want to check out Suisei's stuff, she's also fantastic but also with Japanese lyrics. Stellar Stellar is probably my favourite but if you're looking for newer stuff, Template is one of her latest releases (doesn't seem to have the English translations on her lyrics as of this comment)
    Last recommendation for Hololive (honestly all of them are really good), Ayunda Risu from their Indonesian branch has an original called Alice&u. It has a lot of easter eggs in the song and her vocal range is AMAZING. The majority of the song is in English too with the few JP and ID lines translated through the CC as well. If you do happen to react to this song, I highly recommend looking at an external lyrics page for this because there is a hidden easter egg that is a lot easier to see if you can see all of the lyrics on one page.

    Absolutely love your reviews, so fun to see your take and insight. I would love to see you go through her album, but I also know that's asking a lot lol. I think you would love "Scuffed Up Age" the most and find it the most interesting. Calli also said that "SUA" was her favorite song she's made so far.

  • @alucard303

    Wow, that was a quick react. Her new Album is overall pretty mixed, style wise. But then again, Calli always said that she want's to keep things evolving, trying new things. Not wanting to have her music sound the same.
    As far as i know, here she specifically looked into the limits of her vocal range.

  • @lumski
    @lumski 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A common pattern I find in her lyric writing is that she often try to tell a story where the last verse is a contrast to the first verse and the last hook or chorus the is a slight variation but tells a completely opposite message to the first. Then everything in between ties these ends neatly together. It makes the song feel like a journey ot like her experiencing character development within the confines of the song. It is very masterfully made and just always works.

    @theneekofficial8829 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I heard someone mention during the “end of a life” i think it was called, the slow, lofi-esk song she did, that it was about her leaving her friends within underground rapping behind at the start of the pandemic, to follow this hololive route, whilst they all went to their 9-5 jobs. I think that long lost relationship you brought up at the beginning, relates to that. That’s what i got when I first listened to this song.

  • @Naurnedist
    @Naurnedist 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One thing I noticed when she went into the off-kilter section was that it almost feels like she's running too fast and tripping over the words until at the end she resolves that turmoil with the line "Take Control" and moves into a more controlled style.

    Her music definitely seems like the kind of thing that you listen to over and over and appreciate it more over time. I've noticed that in a lot of her music it's hard to understand and follow along with the beginning of the song, by the middle you're picking up on the flow and concept of the song, then by end you're jamming along. Then you go back and listen to it again and the whole song clicks.

  • @iDeLaYeD_o

    So in the most recent members only stream she did was a watch-along to the Hololive "Link Your Wish" concert and she said that before Hololive she would go perform infront of a crowd of 5 people usually and most of the time doubting they even liked her music but now that she's experienced a concert hall full (well as full as Japanese regulations allow rn). It came up when a fellow Holomem was performing and they had the same past just as an underground idol in Japan
    Also, since this song was written and done well before the weekend I believe she was feeling empty with the images of her past career before Hololive and all she got to see with Hololive was some number on the screen of how many views or likes but now that she experienced the view and the love given by fans as she performed it most likely helped her mentally. Now her along with the others who got their first taste of the stage have a drive to get back to that stage and do even better.

    that 'off kilter' deliver you were talking about in the C section is actually an odd time signature.
    you can either feel it as half time 5/4 or as 4+4+2. its not exactly common in rap but there are examples if look for them. its a severely underutilised tool in my opinion.
    edit: this will sound like a plug so stop reading if you dont care but I have a video visualising the time signature of that section on my channel.
