Queen Bee is a half African-American/Japanese singer born on Dec 25, 1993. Queen Bee has made many songs for animes like Devilman Crybaby, Dororo, Kokyuu no Karasu, Chainsaw Man, Tokyo Ghoul: Re, etc
Avu-chan’s outfit is one of the ones worn in the official MV for Mephisto, so it was likely chosen to be consistent with the character portrayed in the music video as well.
Really love about this is that they dropped it out of nowhere! I was shocked when I saw this in my feeds... She was wearing this outfit in Mephisto's official MV a must watch as well!
they did premiere it when this was released 😅 but yes! the mv is a must watch (although i do wanna advise for headphone users to lower their volume a bit when the chorus parts comes up in the mv)
I had the chance to go to the 女王蜂 (Queen Bee) live like 2 weeks ago. (I'm currently living in Japan) It really was incredible! Avu-chan has such an amazing voice. There was an acapella part as well. It really was stunning!
I had no idea who Queen Bee or Avu-chan were but moments after they started walking to the mic, I could tell this person was different in such an incredible way. Their demeanor, their stance, their expression, and their performance were something I don't think I've ever seen. I was left with my eyes tearing up.
Queen Bee is such a phenomenal artist... a lot of first takes make me so nervous on the behalf of the performer because it feels like they might be nervous about messing up or something, but I get none of that from Queen Bee, it just feels like they could play with this natural vocal range that they have, with total confidence all day long. they're just so impressive to me, and the combination of vocal style and visual presentation, even for a more behind-the-mic type video... they're just so cool to watch. also, I'm actually kind of glad this one didn't get as memed around and overplayed as Idol... because I think Idol kind of wore on people after a while, which is unfortunate because of how good it is.
OMFG!! The minute I saw Queen Bee performance on TFT, I thought "Luke should listen to it" Avu-chan ( that's how the vocalist is known, Queen Bee is the name of the band) she has an amazing voice. Her vocal range is insane🤯 And the instrumental... I love the orchestral instrumentation... and the fusion with modern music. I recommend you to check The first take version of "Fire" (Dororo Op) A great performance by Queen Bee. Have a nice day and greetings.🤗😊
I remember reading in some article that Avu-chan has to stop being human when she sings. Literally, I felt that Avu-chan became an angel or a demon and sang enchanting songs.
Honestly the one-two punch of Idol and Mephisto as OP and ED may have come the closest to the the one-two punch of the greatest OP/ED combo of all time: Tank! and The Real Folk Blues. Avu-chan was absolute fire in this cut. The acoustic take caught me off guard at first because it was so unexpected, but it drew me in the next beat. Oh, and "Mephisto" or Mephistopheles is the name of the demon Faust made his infamous bargain with in Goethe's play. Which is another tie into the themes of Oshi No Ko, "What are you willing to bargain with to get what you want?"
Just for clarification, Queen Bee is the name of the band, the singer is Avu-chan. Also, I highly recommend the Dororo opening, Fire, and her First Take version of that as well
The ending was the first time I'd heard of Queen Bee, and I was very surprised when I saw the First Take video show up. Everything about it surprised and intrigued me, from who Queen Bee is and their origins to their vocal range. Amazing prescence!
@@TheGamingTeam101Tgt101 you not understanding does not amount to it not making sense. she is transfeminine but also feels that there are masculine parts to her gender identity, thus identifying as nonbinary.
@@TheGamingTeam101Tgt101 "Non-binary people may identify as an intermediate or separate third gender, identify with more than one gender, no gender, or have a fluctuating gender identity."
Like what I've said before, there's a guarantee of a "Holy shit!!!" moment coming once this song was played from the start. Oshi no Ko truly set a new standard when it comes to anime OPs and EDs
not only are the opening and ending for Oshi no Ko very good, the b-komachi songs are also very good (both versions) and also the other songs from Oshi no Ko
Ai: I want to live like a perfect idol. I want the fans' love, and I love my son and daughter. I don't care how many lie I'm telling, even I will be deep in the abyss. Aqua: Ai is the only reason for me to live. I'll revenge for her. I don't care how deep I'm walking into the the abyss. Mephisto is a demon in the tale of Faust, who can give you knowledge and glory, but your soul must be paid. This song means so many things to both of Ai and Aqua. (Sorry for my broken English.)
After seeing their official music video, their official live video, and their FIRST TAKE video, it shows that Queen Bee likes to do things different stylistically. And as someone who listened to Mephisto many times, I immediately caught the modified lyrics in the end: The final "anata-tachi" (meaning 'you' (plural)) has been replaced with "watashi-tachi" (meaning 'us' (or "you and me" from the subtitles))
Avu-chan's state of mind when in performance is like what ancient people call a medium in a performer. Like entering a different mode, which is something great performers do :)
I truly enjoyed your reaction to the Mephisto's first take!! Just FYI, Avu-chan(the vocal of the Queen Bee) isn't hurt. She's just wearing the cast to match with the Oshinoko's atmosphere. Also, you should definitely check out Queen Bee's other first take videos! th-cam.com/video/gn-YwSmEzNc/w-d-xo.html (Fire by Queen Bee --- this is the Dororo song you reacted to briefly in one of your videos!)
Saw your comment on the video earlier when I watched this lol I knew there'd be a video for this here. I also wanted to hear this song in the First Take cause it's so good and I noticed the song is sung differently each version - the one for the show's ED, the MV, the live, and this.
Man how you react immediately to the First Take! Glad to watch right after the original video. As other comments point out, Mephisto is the name of a devil, and this performance clearly shows how Aqua made up his mind in the most messed-up way.
I heard this song on Spotify before learning from this very 1st take video that it was the ending theme of Oshi no ko and my word does it do the story justice! From Avu- chan's performance and star factor to the lyrics. It fits so damn well 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I watched the first take video of this song like three times in one sitting just to appreciate the hauntingly beautiful and striking way Avu chan performed, and remains in character from start to end. I noticed that cast as well and did wonder if its due to an injury, then when I watched the MV for the song and saw this same outfit (cast and all) in the second half of the video I thought "oh maybe it's just part of the outfit" though I can't say for sure
Mephisto is the name of a demon that appears in German classical lore, and has become widely known by great writers such as Goethe and Shakespeare. The official name is Mephistopheles. From the Japanese who love your reaction.
You probably have the first *legitimate* 100% verified "First time reaction" video on TH-cam. The First take video just came out an hour ago and this video at the time of writing this is an hour old. Nice weird flex :)
This song just makes me so sad still :( G.O.T If you still don't know the story about the cast, please go watch the actual MV to this song. It's equally amazing and i REALLY wish people would react to that more.
Day 61 of recommending the Beyblade openings. There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
It's possible that the ED doesn't get as much attention because I think some folks literally just stop the episode when the credits hit. Folks might watch the OP as it passes by at least once but may never listen to the ED at all. It's also not as "catchy" as the OP and perhaps the more emotional ones don't hook as virally. And while it's not quite the same, I think the actual insert tracks are super underrated as well. Kana's song, the B Komachi songs, they did a great job with all of the music they made for the show.
im guessing the MV is a no go? prob copyright issues? Chinatsu Matsumoto - Tonariawase here is an opening from a show from last season that like Idol and Mephisto, i never skipped an sang along with (or tried to) bit different from the others but good in its own right imo
Avu-chan shows what hormone transplant can do She has a masculine vpice that was changed to feminine to fit who they are But you can hear that change and it works so fucking well
Correction: There's nothing as "hormone transplants" - I think you mean hormone replacement therapy. And also, HRT (hormone replacement therapy), cannot higher your pitch, Avu-chan had to train her voice without hormones. So to correct: trans men (female-to-male) can take testosterone - which does indeed lower their voice; but it doesn't work the other way around for trans women (male-to-female), because their voice is already low. Therefore, the only way trans women higher their voice is voice training, but estrogen does not do anything. Just want to correct, as there is a lot of misinformation about trans people and our bodies, so hope this helps!
@@artistbervucci1716 ya. also blocking before puberty is the only way to not get the deepness. after that its all voice training, natural range and understanding bioacoustics, which avu-chan has all at once.
I need the bass and the drums, the guitar is too tame... his falsetto is sharper in the studio version, I prefer his nasal voice, this is too deep. I like how he made some variation just for "the first take", it gave more soul to the song. All considered great performance anyway.

火炎”fire” queen bee the first take version
YESSS OMG
yeah he definitely should imo first take version of fire is better than the original song. not that i don’t like the original tho
+1
Yup agreed
Queen Bee’s other The First Take are also amazing. When I first saw them I was so mesmerized by their eccentric style and very unique singing.
💯💯💯

It blow my mind the crowd control and the band just capture every one in the crowd.

Im still amazed how can someone have this big of a range shes just borned to be a singer
1:01 *Final seconds of Episode 7 starts replaying in my head*
???: Hey, Aqua~
Just for clarification, Queen Bee is the name of the band, the singer is Avu-chan. Also, I highly recommend the Dororo opening, Fire, and her First Take version of that as well
don't worry, avu-chan is (probably) fine. the cast is a reference to the music video where she gets pulled off the stage by a fan
The ending was the first time I'd heard of Queen Bee, and I was very surprised when I saw the First Take video show up. Everything about it surprised and intrigued me, from who Queen Bee is and their origins to their vocal range. Amazing prescence!
I actually like more the ending than the opening. I like deeper voices
The way Queen Bee changes the tone as he pleases is amazing
So it's a he I couldn't tell nowadays like the deep voice sounds male but singer and the name of the singer looks female
They're non-binary, although with a preference for female pronouns
@@reflett wym? they cant be non binary and use female pronouns that dosent make sense

Chainsaw man as well
not only are the opening and ending for Oshi no Ko very good, the b-komachi songs are also very good (both versions) and also the other songs from Oshi no Ko
They really put everything good in the anime adaptation. That's an anime of the year for me.
I can't say details, but the lyrics of Mephisto has deep meaning as well as Idol.
The official mv is also fantastic.
You should check it!😊
I didn't write this song, nor did I sing it, but I'm glad you complimented it. Thanks for the nice reaction. from Japan❤
Now you need to see The first take version of Dororo opening 1, also by Queen Bee
You should watch the official MV of this song to understand the outfit and the casted arm
Oohh you gotta check Queen Bee - Fire on the first take too! That's very beautiful
Ai: I want to live like a perfect idol. I want the fans' love, and I love my son and daughter. I don't care how many lie I'm telling, even I will be deep in the abyss.
Aqua: Ai is the only reason for me to live. I'll revenge for her. I don't care how deep I'm walking into the the abyss.

(Sorry for my broken English.)
thank you,i knew mephisto was a name for a demon,but couldn't remember where i heard it
Gotta be one of my all time favorite EDs
Also love how they made it 30 seconds longer in the anime
I like 100 times more the ending than the opening! It is awesome.
They have an official live version of this that would be worth your time as well.
Wow your reaction for this came out a lot earlier than I expected but I cant blame you
After seeing their official music video, their official live video, and their FIRST TAKE video, it shows that Queen Bee likes to do things different stylistically.
And as someone who listened to Mephisto many times, I immediately caught the modified lyrics in the end:
The final "anata-tachi" (meaning 'you' (plural)) has been replaced with "watashi-tachi" (meaning 'us' (or "you and me" from the subtitles))
4:13 That nearly scared the shit out of me!!!
It's my favorite everytime avu-chan does the growls 😅
Avu-chan's state of mind when in performance is like what ancient people call a medium in a performer. Like entering a different mode, which is something great performers do :)
At the risk of being pedantic, it is Avu-chan who is singing; Queen Bee are the usual band. Here they are replaced with a chamber ensemble
GOTGames reacting to QueenBee? Is this a dream come true?
i love this soooooooooooooo much, great vid!!!
You got to check out Kaen by Queen Bee on the first take too! Loved the acoustic first take of Mephisto too.
Este es el tercer video de Queen bee en first take, creo que deberías ver los otros dos son maravillosos
I truly enjoyed your reaction to the Mephisto's first take!! Just FYI, Avu-chan(the vocal of the Queen Bee) isn't hurt. She's just wearing the cast to match with the Oshinoko's atmosphere.

if you know, you know
lmao, not that Queen Bee
You should check others from him like Mysterious, Kaen...
Love 'Mysterious'.
It's First Take. There are often Musicians to play Instruments.

I have neve heard this song🤣cuz once it lights up mean end of ep😃
Avu Chan s clothes tho , Energy is 🔥🔥🔥
Recommend to listen to "kaen" first take ❤
This song just makes me so sad still :( G.O.T If you still don't know the story about the cast, please go watch the actual MV to this song. It's equally amazing and i REALLY wish people would react to that more.
You have to react to Hi Ren by Ren. I want to see you break it down. You will love it!

The lyrics always make me feel bad because they're a direct insight into Aqua's state of mind 😢
her name is avu-chan and she’s one of the only openly trans idols in japan if you would like to know
Please react Mephisto music video.
You can understand her appearance. The story of other idol.
It's possible that the ED doesn't get as much attention because I think some folks literally just stop the episode when the credits hit. Folks might watch the OP as it passes by at least once but may never listen to the ED at all. It's also not as "catchy" as the OP and perhaps the more emotional ones don't hook as virally.

Very true. I was very surprised when i first heard of the ED, didn't expect queen bee to perform it
It's ilegal to go down this rabbit hole, without checking mafumafu work, you're a criminal luke
im guessing the MV is a no go? prob copyright issues?
Chinatsu Matsumoto - Tonariawase
here is an opening from a show from last season that like Idol and Mephisto, i never skipped an sang along with (or tried to) bit different from the others but good in its own right imo
I’m feeling like you think Avu’s name is Queen Bee lol
the first time i heard it i thought the singer was a boy
only very rare contraltos can actually growl like avu. but many other fem singers actually want to if they had the range :P

Do we tell him about V-Kei culture?
