#YOASOBI #oshinoko
Everyone told me to watch the show asap! I just got back home not too long ago and checked out Episode 1! Here's the link if you want to watch with us! th-cam.com/video/_OvB81vZaj0/w-d-xo.html (original video got blocked, here's a reupload!)
Hey personal opinion u should read it's manga too it has more to it then the anime
copyrighted video :c
damn!
Yeah
bro should react to racing into the night by Yoasobi next
The bunny is a metaphor for lies. In Japanese, bunny is "usagi" and it sounds really similar to "uso" which means lie
Wow, they put a lot of detail in this!
@@TooPiece also 'sagi' is its own pun, as it means 'fraud'. It's really neat how Japanese puns work.
Oh no I didn't realize that even though I'm Japanese😭 Thanks for your information
That's too much thinking here lol.... Bunny is her mask as cute and fluffy getting all the love when inside she is simply sad and feels no love.
@@hankjw1111 the song itslef has at least 3 layers to it, both musically and lyrically so the MV most certainly does hide things too
If you watch the first episode, definitely re-listen to the lyrics, it adds a whole new layer to their genius
Oh my, I'm a bit scared now to see the first ep
@@TooPiece It'll be a blast
@mysticgames2591a blast of blood and knife :)
@@TooPiecedon’t be it’s a literal emotion roller coaster, literally
@@totallyahololivesimp stop spoilling.
So the name Ai, translates to Love, so her name has a double meaning as well. The mangaka, really thought this whole story through, not to mention Yoasobi's lyrical genius. It's insane.
Have been following him (Aka Akasaka) since halfway through Kaguya. Sometimes very conflicted about him. Oshu no ko has been sliding for a while now, Kaguya also deteriorated over time (final chapter was good at least). But the thing is, those earlier parts fucking slap (although for OnK, you have to get past the premise).
So it's not that he's not constantly putting out bangers, but when he's actually cooking we're eating good tonight.
A friend told me that her entire name is "Hoshino Ai", basically "hoshi" has as one of it's meanings the verb "want", what translates the name to somethig like "the one who wants love".
iirc her name is actually written with katakana and would more mean "Eye". I figure given her themes both meanings are meant to be taken away from it tho.
Also translates to indigo(or dark blue)
This guy is too good. He guessed the whole anime just by hearing the opening in both Sub and Dub. That's how you can see real talent.
No talent no talent! 😭 I appreciate you boss you’re too kind. I just checked the first ep out and there was hella twists!
@@TooPiece Actually, I like how you interpreted a generalized meaning of idols rather than the character as it was an hidden element.
ps. the dar part was not haters but companions, it was saying that although they feel jealous and inferior but still wants to work with that person who is the best of them.
The lyrics are going to hit specially hard right after episode 1 if you do watch the series, absolutely come back to this after the first episode
so true though, I love this song but when I hear it in english...
@@mllewhimsy1161lmao the English version is garbage
@@silent118 it sounds good, not much worse than Japanese
@@silent118 to each their own. I don't think it's better, but to label it garbage is quite harsh
@@w1nther930 yh ig your right
I just cringe really hard at the English version
The charm of Yoasobi is to make such upbeat and happy sounding soundtracks, but the lyrics are quite sad when you know what they mean
True..
Me and the boys who don't understand Japanese
@@chrispham6599They be vibing till they know what it means
@@w1nther930 wait till they see “racing into the night”
@@bogbog1119that songs hits you when you know the meaning
Yoasobi is a duo, a producer and a singer. They definitely are saucey and alot of their songs go viral like their song "racing into the night". They always cover hard topics.
the way i choked when he called aqua and ruby girlfriend and boyfriend 💀💀
😅I just read the manga... they're now engaged...🫨☠️
HE GOT IT RIGHT 😭😭😭😭
SAME
@@princessmimi6776that's just ruby though. Aqua isnt really encouraging it, but I'm guessing he finds it harder to be harsh to her now that they know each other's past lives
Ooff
You're really accurate in how you analyzed the meanings of the lyrics.
You really nailed the second chorus with "That's all the haters". To give context, she is in an idol GROUP, but she is the main star while the other are just her background actors.
Thank you for your comment! We’re about to find out for sure, I just watched the first ep
Oshi no Ko really plays on the idea that the eyes are the window to the soul, to the point where you can tell which characters are genuine and which are lying/hiding something just by looking at their eyes, which is probably why the MV focuses on the eyes so much
Also YOASOBI is a duo of a musicproducer called Ayase and the singer called Ikura
first time i heard this song i was shook! also seeing the visual in the anime op once you start the show, it’s just **chefs kiss** also seeing those lyrics after ep 1 has me bawling 😂
I just did the first ep, I’m going to rewatch the OP 😭
@@TooPiece rip dude
this song can be separated into three parts. The first part is Aqua and Ruby’s (Ai’s children) perception of her. The second part, the rap part in the middle, is from the perspective of her fellow group members. They’re jealous of her because they’re aware that Ai is the main attraction and they’re essentially forgotten. The last part is Ai’s own point of view. Hope this makes sense :D
if nothing else, at least try watching the first episode. its near movie-length and a genuine MASTERPIECE, so much so that almost immediately after the episode came out the anime shot to the number one position on the anime list community rankings, lol. plus, if you come back and rewatch the op after episode one, things suddenly hit a LOT harder.
Movie length?! yoooo! That's sick!
Yea idk some why ppl make anime episodes 1 hour long now
@@herozero8809may wanna delete that comment cos of spoilers (or at least edit)
@@jadedjade64 good point haha
@@putterchuangpongpun7540well the first episode was actually released in select theaters in Japan, so it makes sense
Simply put..oshi no ko is so GREAT. The Zombie saga idol anime is good too lmao. BUT OSHI NO KO is CRAZY. You have to atleast check out the first episode, trust me you'll be invested
I am now invested
@@TooPiecewill you upload your reactions?
@@black-gs8nk yes, i just reposted ep 1, it got blocked. ep 2 soon!
I think you would absolutely LOVE and appreciate this show with how they depict and critique the idol industry and the entertainment industry in general. This show is a rollercoaster of emotions....especially episode 1. Theres a reason why they made episode 1 being 90 minutes long. Also "Ai" is the idol's name. Her name "Ai" is the Japanese word for "love"
Also the Ending song "Mephisto" is an absolutely banger. But I recommend you check it out AFTER watching episode 1 (if you decide to watch the anime) so that you go into the show as blind as possible
Fun fact, this song Yoasobi - Idol hit number 1 on the Global Billboard charts. This show is literally advertised everywhere in Japan, you literally cant avoid this song that's playing in all the stores, on billboards in the cities etc
Would love to see you react to this show. I think its perfect for you
I just posted it, should I rewatch the OP and check the ending out in the same vid?
Ai is her name, not Artificial Intelligence.
lmfao, it's pronunced a-y
Oshi no Ko is very much revealing the darkness of the entertainment industry. Ai Hoshino, the "main character" is the best idol in Japan and then her children, the blondes in the Opening are enveloped in that life from birth as the secret kids of an idol.
This show is so good you have to watch it. Yoasobi also just released the live version of this song. It is epic. You should watch it too!
Is the live on their official yt?
@@TooPiece answer is yes xd
I actually love how "Your perfect Ai" can translate to Ai, Ai's name or Love. Its both her perfect love and the perfect Ai
Yes, this anime is the best of this spring season and easily made its way into my top 5 anime really quickly because of its amazing and intriguing story, amazing characters, god tier opening, and it always made me come back for the next episode eager for what to happen next, so I heavily recommend you watch it
You should check the anime too. 'Idol' will hit very different after you watch especially episode 1. It can be said that the song is the embodiment of Ai's story according to that eps which is more than 1 hour. The last verse of the song still haunts me to this day. 😔
Her name is Ai Hoshino and she is really loved and popular, yes the song in english says so. Yoasobi is a great japanese singer. Im also japanese and half of jamaican but i recommend you watch her other music videos❤
I love how he's enjoying the song it's like he's first time hearing a rap in an anime Intro.
So if you don't understand why it keeps showing her eyes it's because it has a star on it and the star in her eyes shines more meaning more lie she tells. Hope you understand
The rap part that you thought were the haters were actually the other members of the group being jealous knowing that she will always be the best member while they’re the step stools for that.
Basically the way that they always showing her eyes is behind a reason well in the anime oshi no ko star pupil is represented as lie the more you lie the more it glows in the anime her eyes glows more and more so that means every single word she talks with is a lie her smile her dancing and singing is when her eyes glow more . Thats why the eyes the more importantly shown in the anime.
😭😭😭
My respect. Few can actually describe the anime just from 30 s of the opening. U were right spot on.
I would love to have reactions to oshi no ko!!! This song definitely becomes more meaningful after watching the 1st ep so maybe re-listen with lyrics after starting the show. This show is so special, especially as someone who has followed idols in any capacity (kpop for example). Definitely well worth the watch!
Thanks for the video 💜
Let’s do it together! Ep 1 is up now 🙏🏽
@@TooPiece Thanks for letting me know!! Watching it now then 😊 (I don't think I'm ready to see THE SCENE again tho 😭)
the eyes she has is supposed to be a mark that siginifies ''perfect liar'' and the song explains how she has to lie about her happiness for her fans to love her. It makes her an even better liar when people think she is a bad liar by for an exemple she has to lie about what she has eaten today: ''what have you eaten today?'' ''ham- oh- u..uh fried eggs''
making her lie about her whole persona thats what i love abt her
edit: and what shows on her music video it isnt two different person thats maybe twins it is two side of her the real one and the loved one
Hits hard as a parent. I work a dangerous job helping others. I've been shot, I've been stabbed, I was resuscitated by my own mates once before and given a second life. Now with a son sometimes I linger on the idea of what if one day I don't come home. But just gotta bury it because folks need help and my son's future doesnt just depend on his family life, but the community and nation he'll live in. If I'm not part of the solution, then I'm just another part of the problem.
It’s hard to hear but the choir bits at the beginning are saying “your my savior, your my saving grace”
I noticed at the end in the English version
@@TooPiece it took me till watching the live version to notice lol.
You gonna *LOVE* Mephisto - Queen Bee
Even tho is an ending music, ir hits reaally hard
Bro did NOT just call aqua and rubi lovers...
As somebody who also loves this song and this show, it was such a joy to see you experience this for the first time. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Appreciate you Nick! Thanks for your time
his theory is actually pretty close to what the anime is about, good job on coming to the right conclusion at first listen :D
Thank you!
I love that you were able to interpret the vibe on first try and point out some themes.. Makes it satisfying to reveal the English version... I suspect you know Japanese or atleast heard of the gist of the song from someone else but I guess being updated on the kpop scene really helped with understanding the context
I wish I knew another language and also did not know of the song. The only thing I was told was to check out the show because it’s sad and has to do with idols. Appreciate ya!
I absoluley loved your reaction! it was so good how you were just vibing ✨
not only vibing but actually understanding the song 🙂
Trying to! 😭 I appreciate you, thanks for your kind words! Just did my first watch of ep 1 as well
Np 😉 @@TooPiece
YOASOBI also sings the theme song for "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury." If you watch the music video after watching the anime from the prologue to episode 24, you will be moved to realize that the meaning of the video is completely different from what you had imagined. The last line of the Japanese lyrics has an important meaning in the conclusion of the story. You will understand and be moved by the meaning of the images just as you were when you watched the MV for "IDOL" after watching the first episode of "Oshi no ko".
you should check out Trickle’s eng cover of Idol! imo it’s one of the best english covers done by a single *guy* . you’d be impressed by his vocal range
You def gotta watch it, I promise you'll love this show
I will when I get home this week!
the main character of the show... yeah, lets go with that.
Trust that I will be there when you drop that reaction to ONK. I just watched the season finale, and I can't wait for season 2! The spring 2023 anime season was STACKED. I have not had this much anime to keep up with during one season ever. Loving Yamada-kun at Lvl 999, Skip & Loafer, Demon Slayer, Dr. Stone, Vinland Saga, Hell's Paradise, Mashle, Sacrificial Princess & the King of Beasts, and Insomniacs After School has kept me fed. I also have to binge watch the new season of Tokyo Mew Mew New. I even rewatched Yuri On Ice because I wanted to feel nostalgic and also torture myself (I need Ice Adolescence 😭!)
At a glance it's very easy to feel the bunny suit is a metaphor for presenting yourself in public/on stage. It's a literal mask and suit that covers the body like armor, that won't let us see the actual person underneath, just the performer in front of us as they're meant to look from the outside. 7:49 BOOM, I just got to the part where you say it out loud.
The song sure hits different as a fan of actual groups, huh.
HEEYYY! I remember you when you made a reaction video for GFriend because Lil Uzi Vert is a fan of them! Glad to see you again in my other musical taste spectrum, the J-Music especially Yoasobi
Hey! Glad to see ya again!
[You're my savior! My true savior! My saving grace!] - the words in the chant.
The English verses were transliterated by Yoasobi, so it is more true to the meaning than a direct translation.
This anime is really really good, the first ep makes me cry every time. It's also like an hour and a half long for the first episode.
So so good
Hoshino Ai (The Main girl that appeared in the video) name can translate to Hoshino=Star and Ai=Love and it’s about the light side and dark side of being a Idol. Also the videos are talking about how she lies to her fan about saying “I love you” for them to like her. But the two blond characters are her children and she was finally able to say “I love you” at the last part of the video when she hugged them both.
his smile is the sweetest thing ive seen this month
idk if anyone explained it but the Aoi's eyes (the idol singing) represent star power, and her pupils are shape like a star shining bright in the night sky ✨️
Aoi? You mean Ai,right?
the lyrics have a lot of deep/hidden meanings which are more obvious when looking into the actual story and i love it
An actual concise and good music reviewer?! Subbed
Oh wow thanks! 🖤
Actually, the way that I got into this anime was this song I will see that the anime shows a lot about this song like you gotta pay attention to like the beginning in that. I will say a lot of the episodes are combined with the song like they’re so hidden through like there’s multiple events that happened to the anime series which are like wait that remind me of the song.
The first episode is a gut wrentcher ... it will set you up for what this show is all about.
Yoasabi made the intro and a movie named Oshi Noko and the movie the main one in the first episode the main character but she died she was a great mom 😢
Try listening the original and English back to back cuz they chose the translated lyrics super duper carefully to translate, fit the beats AND phonetically sound similar to the og Japanese, it’s super dope 😊
Ai, is an idol, who has never known what love was, so the only way she can love others is with lies, a quote from her manager "pretty lies is what the fans want". She hopes that one day her lies will become true. The two blonde people in the video are her children, the last lyrics "I love you", are true because her children are her only love that she ever had.
I watched the live performance of YOASOBI who really managed to sing it live also. So talented. Also the composer of BRAVE (Frieren).
I hope you prepare tissues cuz this anime absolutely broke me
It’s hard for me to cry!
BRO YOU GOTTA WATCH THE ANIME. It's straight fire, I wish that I could unsee it just to watch it again.
Just did ! 😭
dude i love this song, but i hadn't listened to the english lyrics before... i appreciate you opening my eyes to it's meaning lol
Her eyes represent how deep her lie is. Aqua and Ruby have different places where there star eyes are is because the set out 2 different paths one is path of Ai light and the other her darkness. The reason Kana has galaxy eyes is to refer to that she never lied about her love
I think the reason they keep showing the eyes are bc the more she lies the brighter the stars in her eyes grow
Edit: my fav ver is the English edm one😀
I appreciate how in the Japanese version he still picked up something was still very wrong despite most of the song sounding upbeat and happy. Then in the English version the light of understanding lit up in his eyes were he probably put together about 75% of what was going on when the song ended.
First show you mentioned with the guys turned into idols, its called backstreet girls: gokudolls. Becoming women through cosmetic surgery was their punishment for messing up in the yakuza. Series is like a fever dream
yoasobi is a professional of making dark song sounds catchy and wholesome lol
amzing analysis to the song, very on point. I really look forward to your ep1 reaction
Thank you! It’s up now!
Bro understood the lore of the show in 1 opening. Me needing at least a month to understand it
was that show you were talking about the one where those yakuza underlings owed their boss and he was like "Become Idols to pay me back" and they said they couldn't coz they were tough lookin ruffians so he says "Let's get a black market surgeon to make you into idols" so they got a sex cvhange and plastic surgery to become idols
Yeah that was one of them!! 😂
Backstreet girls
That one was funny as hell 😂
we're getting a season 2 lets goooooo
music:godly
simp: confirmed
when you open up smash: confirmed
dub version:sounds american
japanese version:godly
top yoasobi song:even confirmed more
The fact he described an episode without watching it is kind of impressive
You should react to Will Stetson. He does english covers of Japanese/kpop/vocaloid songs. He also did an english cover of IDOL! I think you would really enjoy his covers!
Him referring to Aqua and Ruby as couples is such a cursed precognition lol
If you don’t know ai has starveyes which represents their star talent. When it flames out the star turns black like when a star collapses it’s now a black hole. These are really rare and this song is about being the perfect idol then introducing the aspects of Oshi no Ko
This man is not ready
Definitely was not
Me at about 6:45:
*Sweet home Alabama*
I love the English version so much I spent hours learning the whole thing and so far I know how to sings half the song without any Mess ups!
Ayeeeeeee
6:26 about that, sweet home Alabamaaaaa 😬😬😬
god this show is so good. i get chills and teary every time i watch this video, they put SO MUCH into this video.
when i heard english version i immediately thought of amalee's cover- *SNIFF* i wasn't disappointed at all.
Ai is the mother of the two blonde characters
Wait til he finds out the 2 blonds are related
Hey I'm not super into music reactions but you seem like a great dude, keep going at it man
i appreciate you! i want to do some more music and eventually watch some anime with people. i always feel behind with the hype anime and stuff there's so much to miss on!
100% suggest you should bring this anime to your channel.
We’ll give it a try! Just posted ep 1
The moment u understand all the lyrics, it's another song😢. R.I.P. Ai
The boy and the girl are twins, his name is Aqua and her name is Ruby. the idol is their mother and she died.
Reactors have a similar job to idols, an artificial way to feel like you have a friend when you don't.
Damn that’s kinda… 🫠
I just realised another detail at 10:26 ai says "I'm Maria" does this like mean she's a mary sue like a perfect character if so damn man this show really pulls u in. ALSO AMAZING REACTIONNN
"Yaosabi" 😭😭 tho, i love your perspective on the song
That plant in the background hanging on for dear life, good video tho! U doing great!
It’s fake lol
i enjoyed the watch man. its such a powerful song in both versions
Probably the best idol react I’ve seen
Thanks for watching!
Oshi no ko makes me get up out of my chair and dance
The girls name is Ai Hoshino
The lyrics themselves provide a not-so-subtle criticism of the idol industry.
9:17 This Ai (愛) means love and her name is Hoshino Ai. And I think they intended to translate it directly using Ai. to convey both her name and love.
When you said that one of the shows that you watched were about men turning into idols, is similar to [ OSHI NO KO] because at the beginning of the first episode one of the main characters( a doctor) had died and Rencarted as her son( sorry if I spelled a word wrong)
Watching this in retrospect makes me chuckle.
A2R+: Y'all can't be in love.
Me: They're siblings...
6:38 bro dancing to this part but litetray he doesnt know the back story for this part , he says you cant be in love to ruby and aqua 😂😂😂😂 lmao , theyre siblings 😂😂
😂
