HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE! You guys are AWESOME, Thank you for watching🎉! This was a BLAST to film🔥 Make sure to check out our music below: Nile: th-cam.com/video/nKhl2rydHOM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NBTALENTED-Topic Ryan: th-cam.com/video/rlqFSIwt0ZA/w-d-xo.html Cole: th-cam.com/video/q833rK4FNyY/w-d-xo.html
yeah and most of his videoclips are inspired by Eve's manga, for example the cyclops in dramaturgy is directly out of the manga and the masks etc are from it as well
@@Milxno That is the opposite of the order. Eve started submitting music videos in 2016, and the manga was not published until 2020. The "How to Eat Life" novel was published in 2022. Originally, the characters and worldview of Eve's music videos were highly acclaimed, which led to a series of manga and novel adaptations.
@@Milxno In Japan, anime-style music videos are often created, especially for VOCALOID. At that point, only the characters and a simple plot precede them. It is not uncommon in Japan for songs that become popular to later be given detailed settings and stories to become manga or novels.
That last shot in dramaturgy always gives me chills Life as a drama, you as a character, putting on a mask constantly for those ariund you, but your mask keeps falling off and showing your true face, so you take off your face and replace it with the mask
EVE's Fight Song video is a story continuation of How to Eat Life! So congrats, there's more . Also like others have said, turn on the Closed Captions, majority of EVE's music has English subtitles available! (How to Eat life is my absolutely favorite EVE song aside from Yoruwa Honoka which you should also check out)
A little more context on Eve as you guys mentioned his MVs seem inspired by his anime song openings: Eve started out as an internet singer covering vocaloid songs (vocaloid are songs created by people who utilize a computerized program voice to sing their songs). Covering vocaloid songs is a very wide genre of singing that many individuals start with and several internet singers have gone on to become professional singers! Eve is one of these and he also entered the field by putting out his own original songs which are what you guys reacted to. He's a big fan of art and artists if I remember correctly, so he has indie producers and studios create the visuals for his songs. He actually started doing this a couple years before he first started getting used for anime song openings and endings! He still does this right now and every single original song on his channel are an absolute treat to watch. He also tends to provide english subs so i recommend watching the videos with lyrics turned on! Also you guys mentioned he rarely/barely shows his face: I'm unsure of the actual reasons why but most individual singers who start out from the internet singing side tend to keep their identities obscured for privacy or any number of personal reasons. Eve too keeps his face shadowed or wears a mask in any MV he's physically visible in. And in the songs, the character that tends to represent him is the One eyed-character with a top hat. He tends to appear in Eve's MVs either in the background or by simply dancing along to the song.
Minami is another great musician to check out. Her song Hollowness is a must. The music video also has great english lyrics which would be worth dissecting
you guys seemed to love how to eat life (totally shocking who wouldve known) so you should watch eve's fight song! you've already heard half the song in your chainsaw man reaction, its the 12th ending, but the full version also has an animation to go with it that is kind of like an episode 2 of how to eat life's visuals.
For those who are interested, Eve is writing a manga in which he explains what those beings that accompany the characters in their songs are. In this manga he also included several of his well-known characters, for example what or who is that one-eyed being that appears in several of his songs (such as Dramaturgy or Literary Nonsense, songs that, if i remember correctly are connected) what is that backpack of how to eat life and who is his carrier, etc. It's like Eve has created his own world with these creatures that accompany certain people and it's really interesting to see what is behind each one, I really recommend it.
@@illuminoeye_gamingUps, sorry xd. I was so focus on writing that in english well that I absolutely forgot to write that XD. But, at least is easy to find if you search Eve Manga XD
I really hope you guys do a part 2 of reacting to Eve, including his newer songs. Especially Fight Song, which while it is something you've covered in the form of CSM ending 12, the rest of the song is amazing too.
I could recommend so many Eve songs. But maybe if you want to look into his calmer/more emotional songs you could try Leo, Aisai, Yamiyo or Yuseiboushi. For more dance-like songs: Tokyo Ghetto, Last Dance, Yoruwahonoka (has a lot of base) or Raison Detre are all really nice. If you are interested in the different stories told in each song you might want to try to watch with lyrics on (most of his songs have really interesting and deep themes/messages). But if that distracts you too much from the music that's of course understandable.
My favourite thing is watching artists that indulge in a craft like music react to other musicians. Y'all so clearly respect every aspect of the production because you live and breathe the medium yourselves, and are so literate with the songs even on the first listen. No one appreciates art like an artist and its awesome.
Yesssss, I was waiting for this! After hearing Kaikai Kitan(the first opening to JJK) I discovered Eve, and he's become my favorite artist ever since. Also, the subtitles on his videos are usually pretty accurate, and some give you references to certain things that connect to his other songs
Eve is my favorite Japanese artist and I'm so happy you guys listened to some of his work. Hope you'll listen to more of his songs. I recommend Outsider, Literary nonsense, Last Dance, The Secret About That Girl, raison d’etre, and/or Heart Forecast (song for a Chocolate Brand) and you'll be able to see the different types of music they make.
@tejidotcom Love your vids, especially you anime music reactions. I forgot to mention that you guys should do 2 listens of each song next time, once without subtitles so that you don't get too distracted with reading while trying to listen to the song and the second time with subtitles so that you could get a better understanding of the visuals and lyrics.
How to eat life was the first Eve song I heard and I was instantly hooked haha. If you like the visuals, rewatch chainsaw man ending and the My hero Academia opening, the videos are full stories. Honestly all of his videos are 3 minute anime’s with Eve music attached. Love Eve, glad we gained more fans.
I hope this gets part 2, 3 and so on, because Eve's MVs just keep getting better and better. Can't wait for them to get to "We're Still Underground", "Living idly and dying as if dreaming" and, of course, "Fight Song" :D
Echoing a lot of others saying if you want to know the lyrics almost all of his songs have the English translations in the closed captioning :) A lot of his songs pertain to personal identity and both "As you Like it" and "Dramaturgy" are definitely under that category. The sketchier style you see in his older music videos is from the artist Mah, though he has returned for some of his newer music too. For the most part Eve does the music, lyrics, and vocals himself and the one who does the arrangement and mixing is a well-known arranger/producer by the name of Numa. Edit: forgot to mention because I wrote this before I watched the last part, "How to Eat Life" in case no one has said yet, is actually related to a manga Eve has by the name of "Empty Memories" (Kara no Kikou). Its ongoing and characters that have appeared in Dramaturgy, Literary Nonsense, Outsider, and Last Dance appear in the manga too! Eve also has songs that are more subdued than what you've seen so far in terms of music and they happen to be some of my favorites: Dark Night (Yamiyo) - ED 2 for Dororo, MV drawn by Mah, and I believe it was Eve's first anime song. LEO - MV drawn by Mah, has been said by Eve in a livestream to be influenced by the manga for Jigokuraku: Hell's Paradise Night is Faint (Yoru wa Honoka) - Funky baseline, besides that the song is only about 2 years old and I have it burned into my brain from replays lol Last thing, there's a couple of really good English cover artists for Eve's songs on youtube: Trickle and Will Stetson ✨
You should turn the closed captions next time. His songs can get very deep, symbolic and philosophical. He hires official translators to do the captions so they’re accurate. Y’all usually understood the songs’ general themes pretty well off the vocals and video alone tho so good job lol😂 Hope you do another Eve reaction and turn on captions! (Also rewatch Dramaturgy and As You Like It with lyrics) I recommend Tokyo Ghetto, Sister, Don’t Replay The Boredom, Yuseiboushi, Night is Faint (yoruwahonoka) and Last Dance
Here early Letsgo 🎉 Edit: glad you all are reacting to Eve. I was about to suggest listening to their music too. I would suggest Fight Song, another good one. Edit: I'll definitely be listening to the drops
I loooove your reactions to Eve's songs!! If there's a trademark that Eve is known for that he also accepts-- is that he likes destroying cities in the music videos. Oh, and that he also works with a lot of indie animators (and everyone just jokingly tells Eve to release his animators from the basement with how amazing quality the animations go with the songs) HAHA! Either way, Since you loved How to Eat Life, I suggest listening to "Fight Song" MV as well! It's Chainsaw Man's last ending song so you're familiar with it, but the whole versions also just as amazing! It features the same main character as in the How to Eat Life MV! I also highly suggest "Night is Faint", "YOKU" and "Living idly and dying as if dreaming" from Eve. They are allll so beautiful and captivating, and even more thought provoking if you do ever want to watch with english subs on! Once again, thank you for reacting to this and here's to more Jpop/ anime song reaction from you guys!
I think another great band you guys should check out is The Oral Cigarettes. They've done a couple of anime openings, but their other songs are also really good. Also really enjoying the content keep it up!
Love you guys' reactions as usual. If you're branching out to non-anime openings, I wanna recommend the Wozwald cover by Miyashita Yuu. Comes with a fully animated PV too!
The last song btw has another one that ties into it called "Fight Song" its literally so good. If you haven't seen the full thing already you should see it.
"As You Like It" was animated based on a manga or novel, but it was listed in the subtitles at the end of the song so I don't remember what it's called.
Here are some iconic opening, ending & ost recommendations from 2010 - 2018 anime, these songs became popular during the time they came out, some more than others and even became memes: - Attack on Titan OP 1, "Guren no Yumiya" by Linked Horizon - Attack on Titan OP 3, "Shinzou wo Sasageyo!" by Linked Horizon - Death Parade OP, "Flyers" by BRADIO - Kekkai Sensen ED 1, "Sugar Song to Bitter Step" by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN - Devilman Crybaby OST, "Devilman No Uta" by Kensuke Ushio - Shiki OP 1, "Kuchizuke" by Buck-Tick - Koi to uso OP, "Kanashii Ureshii" By Frederic - Kokkoku OP, "Flashback" by MIYAVI vs KenKen - Tokyo Ghoul:re OP 1, "Asphyxia" by Cö shu Nie - Tokyo Ghoul:re ED 1, "Half" by Queen Bee (I recommend watching the official music video) - Bakemonogatari OP 4, "Ren'ai Circulation" Performed by Kana Hanazawa - Noragami OP 1, "Goya wa Machiawase" by Hello Sleepwalkers - Noragami OP 2, "Kyōran Hey Kids!!" by Oral Cigarettes - Free! Iwatobi Swim Club ED 1, "SPLASH FREE" by STYLE FIVE ~~ With a special mention to Baccano! OP - "Gun's & Roses" by Paradise Lunch
sorry my brain is not working recently , i have to add up to this comment after send . But to make sure you not mistake that i not like your reaction music video (if you somehow do) . Music reaction video is more enjoyable to watch when a group of musician react/comment while listen to it. Plus the gang vibe is more fun to watch
Recommend “Living idly and dying as if dreaming” by Eve. The visuals are just absolutely stunning Edit: Don’t forget the subtitles since they tell a very important story for the music 😂
For the 2nd song. There's a theory saying that mask guy and depress guy are the same guy but different personalities. And the girl he likes fell in love with his fake personality(mask guy)
Great video! Hope you do more. Favorite reaction channel. Y’all did a great job at analysing the songs despite the lack of lyrics. Really nice to see your interpretations of the MV’s.
i love how all of you are trying to figure out Eve´s visuals, you should check out the lyrics, the visuals are gonna make more sense (also eve is a GENIUS with his lyrics)
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this yet but a lot of Eve's videos are either directly related to each other through story or share characters. Alot of these character's also appear in Eve's manga Empty memories (虚の記憶-Kara no Kioku).
see a lot of comments about the more popular Eve songs and def check them out, they're popular for a reason, but I HAVE to recommend WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES PLEASE, THEY ARE AVAILABLE: Heart Forecast, Living idly and dying as if dreaming, YOKU, This world to you (this one in particular hits right in the heart), Bubble ft. Uta, Ambivalent, We're still underground, Ao no waltz, White Snow, and theres a few I cant find the translated names of: (one with mv cover of girl w light pink hair and watermelon hair clip), (one girl with an expression similar to toga from bnha with pink eyes and greish pink hair), (and one with a horizontal reflection of a girl w long hair and dress, opposite sides being reversed colours so the top one has light pink bg and bottom has navy blue, looks like a big splash sort of) Yeah! yall have some fun and interesting reactions, as well as analysis (which I would appreciate more if yall turned on the subtitles please) and I've been a fan of Eve for a long time now so def hoping to see more!! :)
Bro all of Eve’s songs have their own meaning based on eves emotions and his actual life which is crazy to think about because most of his songs have very depressing stories
Don’t know if you know but Eve does in fact have his own manga and Tobio (the boy from how to eat life) is a main character. It’s really cool if you want explanation of the MV then definitely read the manga!
As youlike it is a really interesting song, sort of about a boy confiding in his other 'selves' to gain confidence. Eve has a sort of 'cinematic universe' related to his manga, the eye man is a main character in the manga, the boy (Tobi Otogiri) and his duffel bag (Noppo)are main characters as well.
I highly recommend Again, it’s the first opening of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. In addition to Let It Out by Miho Fukuhara, it puts me in my feels every time.
for sure recommend checking out the lyrics next run through; its fully translated in CC & the lyrics for all of Eve's songs are so so powerful. (SERIOUSLY powerful; he is a genius with storytelling, especially in Dramaturgy and How to Eat Life) As one good broad example, both songs in some way (along with many of their songs) deal with the idea of identity, and what it means to figure that out in the presence of both your public face and your inner self.
Fun fact: You guys can go for "Heart Forecast" cause this song is very colourful. Also "Fight Song" is a good song as well and the MV was so sick...fr so sick...
I've been waiting for this!! I adore Eve's music and seeing you all react to it made my day :) If you choose to react to more Eve songs, I have some song recommendations I'd love to see you all react to: 1. From the same album as "How to Eat Life" (Smile) - "Baumkuchen End". 2. From the same album as "Dramaturgy" (Bunka) - "Nonsense Bungaku" (or "Literary Nonsense"). 3. Two songs from a totally different album (Otogi) - "Tokyo Ghetto" and "Last Dance". (I have way more recommendations, but I can't just recommend all of Eve's music now can I... so these will do for now)
YAAAS EVE. It’s good to see people seeing and reacting to Eve. He has come a long way to get where he is and I am proud to see he is being appreciated. He has got his own manga if you are interested in him 😅
Nice to meet you, I'm Japanese. I recently saw your clippings and learned about it. I would like to thank all of you who listen to anime songs and listen to my favorite Eve songs. Thank you for always enjoying listening to Japanese music. We support you in the future. I'm using a translation app, so I don't know if I can understand what you're saying, but I'd be happy if it did.
I find this version of the definition of Dramaturgy to be more helpful within the context of EVE's song: "Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective on identity that employs a theatrical metaphor to explore issues of identity formation and reformation. As such, dramaturgy assumes a place, a moment, and an audience to whom the identity is being presented."
how to eat tells of a child who is given high expectations where the child himself does not understand what he should do, so he has to work hard to understand and learn on his own which is symbolized like eating himself like in the video
You guys got kinda close woth the song about the glove guy! The twist is that the boy IS the glove guy. But the glove guy is his famous persona. He likes the girl that loves the glove guy(that is him)
really recommend to watch more Eve mv! full version of fight song (csm ending 12) which also a continuation to how to eat a life, shinkai, yoku, yoruwa honoka, etc. Y'all reactions are very interesting and ejoyable, keep up the good work :)
Eve actually has a manga called Kara no kioku and a light novel about how to eat life i think one of the mc of the manga is the character in how to eat life his name is Tobi the boy with the big the story kind of continues to the fight song mv you get to see him and a amazing animation throughout the mv also the mv has the full song so you get the brake in the middle of the song it’s really good would love to see your reaction to it 😭🙏
I love okinimesumama partly because it's a really nice change of pace from a lot of the darker feeling eve songs, and the way I interpret it is just really heartwarming The boy (not eve btw, he's a fictional character) likes a girl, handman (the guy with the mask) is a version of himself that he doesn't get along with, he could also be interpreted as his anxiety. There are 4 versions of the boy, the main one who we always see in the middle, the blue one, the red one and handman. Handman is perfect, too perfect, he's the person the boy doesn't like but he tries to be in order to fit it and impress the girl, he imitates his dance where he kinda rolls his hand. Each rocket launch is an attempt at reaching out and expressing his true feelings to the girl, each explosion is a failure and sometimes turns into him fighting himself (the anime-looking fight scene between the boy and handman). The scene of the boy holding a giant version of his mouth open represents him forcing himself to speak and attempt to open up. In the bridge he sees his anxiety (handman) beginning to take his potential love away from him and unlike a certain other eve song it gives him the determination to push forward, take control of his anxiety and make up with handman, at the end we see the boy lying in a puddle of water with the mask of his anxiety that was drowning him popped as the girl his lying is standing over him with a smile on her face Is this the intended meaning? Probably not. Do I care? Definitely not. This is my interpretation and I put way to much time in this I totally don't have a problem and if you spent all that time reading this then I'm sure you don't either :)
Bro, believe me when I say that your interpretation is a lot closer to home than most of my interpretations. It may not be perfect, but it makes a lot of sense.
Kinda late, but I don't see anyone having commented it, so How to eat life and it's continuation "fight Song" are based of his manga (Kara no kyoku). No anime yet though haha (manga is very recent)
I can't believe you guys only watched 3 songs LMAO But I'm still super happy that you guys reacted. really hope you guys do a part 2 lol My personal favorites are 遊生夢死 (YUSEIBOSHI) and 夜は仄か (Night is Faint) The most recommended animation is ファイトソング (Fight Song) and 僕らまだアンダーグラウンド (We're Still Underground)
I suggest u guys doing part 2 cuz EVE has sooooooooo many good songs u haven't listened, here are my recommandations: White Snow Living Idly And Dying As If Dreaming Yoku heart forcast Tokyo Ghetto Bubble plz we need part 2 i subscribed and do click that like botton☺
Omg you guys looked like a flock of pigeons with all the head bobbing in almost perfect sync lmao. Jokes aside i totally agree with all the excitement going on, especially the big one in how to eat life lol, also Eve has a manga called kara no kioku and apparently another one tho i'm not sure.
Awww man, I wish you would done Raison d'etre and Tokyo Ghetto. Such good songs, with cool anime to boot. Easily would come back for a part 2 for this video.
ryan sometimes gets the most Baffled look on his face when he’s like, lost in the sauce of whatever you guys are reacting to lmao its really funny i’d like to recommend again soul eater op 1, code geass op 1, & gurren lagann’s libera me from hell!
Also something that as a single i always loved about Eve is the mfing armonies like this btch makes the Best armonies both in his songs and in his old covers

Eve songs are always amazing visually and musically, also if i'm not mistaken the song "how to eat life" became a novel
yeah and most of his videoclips are inspired by Eve's manga, for example the cyclops in dramaturgy is directly out of the manga and the masks etc are from it as well

Dramaturgy especially has some pretty deep lyrics. You can see them if you turn caption on
One of my favourite
I was annoyed that they didn't 💔🙂😭
Lmao this comment made me laugh so hard xDD
i was waiting for demon dance tokyo
@@neji1199That song is one of my favourites!
That last shot in dramaturgy always gives me chills
Life as a drama, you as a character, putting on a mask constantly for those ariund you, but your mask keeps falling off and showing your true face, so you take off your face and replace it with the mask

I suggest doing a part 2 cuz there are so many good eve songs. A few other songs are Tokyo ghetto, anoko secret, last dance, and nonsense bungaku
I can 100000% vouch for Tokyo Ghetto it's one of my absolute favorites!!!
I agree with these statements
I like bouto too

You need to do more he has tons more bangers. His music is just too good.
Here early Letsgo 🎉
Edit: glad you all are reacting to Eve. I was about to suggest listening to their music too. I would suggest Fight Song, another good one.
Edit: I'll definitely be listening to the drops
I loooove your reactions to Eve's songs!!
If there's a trademark that Eve is known for that he also accepts-- is that he likes destroying cities in the music videos. Oh, and that he also works with a lot of indie animators (and everyone just jokingly tells Eve to release his animators from the basement with how amazing quality the animations go with the songs) HAHA!
Either way, Since you loved How to Eat Life, I suggest listening to "Fight Song" MV as well! It's Chainsaw Man's last ending song so you're familiar with it, but the whole versions also just as amazing! It features the same main character as in the How to Eat Life MV!
I also highly suggest "Night is Faint", "YOKU" and "Living idly and dying as if dreaming" from Eve. They are allll so beautiful and captivating, and even more thought provoking if you do ever want to watch with english subs on!
Once again, thank you for reacting to this and here's to more Jpop/ anime song reaction from you guys!
I think another great band you guys should check out is The Oral Cigarettes. They've done a couple of anime openings, but their other songs are also really good. Also really enjoying the content keep it up!
Love you guys' reactions as usual. If you're branching out to non-anime openings, I wanna recommend the Wozwald cover by Miyashita Yuu. Comes with a fully animated PV too!
I'd love to see this🙏
The last song btw has another one that ties into it called "Fight Song" its literally so good. If you haven't seen the full thing already you should see it.
As someone who has been following Eve since his early years, i feel so proud that he's become such a big shot!
Yess I was waiting for this reaction video!! How to eat life is my favorite eve song ❤
Amazing video, needed that Tokyo Ghetto in there as well but you guys can keep that masterpiece for another time
Eve is on fire when it come to their MV ilustrasion and the lyrics the music everything is on FIRE 🔥
"As You Like It" was animated based on a manga or novel, but it was listed in the subtitles at the end of the song so I don't remember what it's called.
W. I was looking forward to this frfr!!

WE need a part 2
If you plan to make another Eve's music reaction, I recommend [Outsider], and [Fight Song] have connection with [How to eat life]
Not done with video yet, but I hope you can turn on captions for future reactions. I thunk it will add to the discussion
you actually do it , love the gang since my first video from your channel is with the gang
sorry my brain is not working recently , i have to add up to this comment after send . But to make sure you not mistake that i not like your reaction music video (if you somehow do) . Music reaction video is more enjoyable to watch when a group of musician react/comment while listen to it. Plus the gang vibe is more fun to watch
Man, I just love you because you show them Eve music
Eve, alongside ado are my favorite japanese singers at the moment. Really talented!
Recommend “Living idly and dying as if dreaming” by Eve. The visuals are just absolutely stunning
Edit: Don’t forget the subtitles since they tell a very important story for the music 😂
For the 2nd song. There's a theory saying that mask guy and depress guy are the same guy but different personalities. And the girl he likes fell in love with his fake personality(mask guy)
Great video! Hope you do more. Favorite reaction channel.
Y’all did a great job at analysing the songs despite the lack of lyrics. Really nice to see your interpretations of the MV’s.
I remember finding him out because of his vocaloid covers back in 2016, been a fan since then
So happy he became this famous
i love how all of you are trying to figure out Eve´s visuals, you should check out the lyrics, the visuals are gonna make more sense (also eve is a GENIUS with his lyrics)
E ve has an early start to a manga that ties in with a lot of his music videos that most of the lore is still in the music videos.
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this yet but a lot of Eve's videos are either directly related to each other through story or share characters. Alot of these character's also appear in Eve's manga Empty memories (虚の記憶-Kara no Kioku).
man I just remembered an old music video ME!ME!ME! you guys need to watch and listen to this cultured song
see a lot of comments about the more popular Eve songs and def check them out, they're popular for a reason, but I HAVE to recommend WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES PLEASE, THEY ARE AVAILABLE: Heart Forecast, Living idly and dying as if dreaming, YOKU, This world to you (this one in particular hits right in the heart), Bubble ft. Uta, Ambivalent, We're still underground, Ao no waltz, White Snow, and theres a few I cant find the translated names of: (one with mv cover of girl w light pink hair and watermelon hair clip), (one girl with an expression similar to toga from bnha with pink eyes and greish pink hair), (and one with a horizontal reflection of a girl w long hair and dress, opposite sides being reversed colours so the top one has light pink bg and bottom has navy blue, looks like a big splash sort of)
Yeah! yall have some fun and interesting reactions, as well as analysis (which I would appreciate more if yall turned on the subtitles please) and I've been a fan of Eve for a long time now so def hoping to see more!! :)
YEEESSS YOU GUYS DID EVE IM SO HAPPY!! and on his bday too!!
I'm glad you enjoyed eve! He is literally my favourite japanese artist and I'm glad his music can reach so many!
Bro all of Eve’s songs have their own meaning based on eves emotions and his actual life which is crazy to think about because most of his songs have very depressing stories
Don’t know if you know but Eve does in fact have his own manga and Tobio (the boy from how to eat life) is a main character. It’s really cool if you want explanation of the MV then definitely read the manga!
danggg i might have to watch all of eve's music videos after this one, both visuals and music went crazyyyy
As youlike it is a really interesting song, sort of about a boy confiding in his other 'selves' to gain confidence. Eve has a sort of 'cinematic universe' related to his manga, the eye man is a main character in the manga, the boy (Tobi Otogiri) and his duffel bag (Noppo)are main characters as well.
I highly recommend Again, it’s the first opening of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. In addition to Let It Out by Miho Fukuhara, it puts me in my feels every time.
There was something on Eves music that made me listen to it. The technique is actually very unique and catchy❤️
for sure recommend checking out the lyrics next run through; its fully translated in CC & the lyrics for all of Eve's songs are so so powerful. (SERIOUSLY powerful; he is a genius with storytelling, especially in Dramaturgy and How to Eat Life) As one good broad example, both songs in some way (along with many of their songs) deal with the idea of identity, and what it means to figure that out in the presence of both your public face and your inner self.
Fun fact: You guys can go for "Heart Forecast" cause this song is very colourful. Also "Fight Song" is a good song as well and the MV was so sick...fr so sick...
And also the guy from "How to devour life" is in that "Fight Song" too.
Loved the reaction, hope you guys keep reacting to Eve!
I've been waiting for this!! I adore Eve's music and seeing you all react to it made my day :)
If you choose to react to more Eve songs, I have some song recommendations I'd love to see you all react to:
1. From the same album as "How to Eat Life" (Smile) - "Baumkuchen End".
2. From the same album as "Dramaturgy" (Bunka) - "Nonsense Bungaku" (or "Literary Nonsense").
3. Two songs from a totally different album (Otogi) - "Tokyo Ghetto" and "Last Dance".
(I have way more recommendations, but I can't just recommend all of Eve's music now can I... so these will do for now)
Y’all should listen to that one song that’s like “love me love me” or something🤗
My favorite song by Eve is As you like it. The song resonates with me alot and is a banger especially the meaning
YAAAS EVE. It’s good to see people seeing and reacting to Eve. He has come a long way to get where he is and I am proud to see he is being appreciated. He has got his own manga if you are interested in him 😅
Nice to meet you, I'm Japanese. I recently saw your clippings and learned about it. I would like to thank all of you who listen to anime songs and listen to my favorite Eve songs. Thank you for always enjoying listening to Japanese music. We support you in the future. I'm using a translation app, so I don't know if I can understand what you're saying, but I'd be happy if it did.
You guys should just turn on English captions. The lyrics are really good
I find this version of the definition of Dramaturgy to be more helpful within the context of EVE's song: "Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective on identity that employs a theatrical metaphor to explore issues of identity formation and reformation. As such, dramaturgy assumes a place, a moment, and an audience to whom the identity is being presented."
how to eat tells of a child who is given high expectations where the child himself does not understand what he should do, so he has to work hard to understand and learn on his own which is symbolized like eating himself like in the video
You guys got kinda close woth the song about the glove guy! The twist is that the boy IS the glove guy. But the glove guy is his famous persona. He likes the girl that loves the glove guy(that is him)
How to eat life is a prequel to fight song
really recommend to watch more Eve mv! full version of fight song (csm ending 12) which also a continuation to how to eat a life, shinkai, yoku, yoruwa honoka, etc. Y'all reactions are very interesting and ejoyable, keep up the good work :)
Subscribed cause you guys are the First ones that does not only react to the opening song from Jujutsu Kaisen. Eve music anda visuals are just unique
pretty late, but one thing most people dont know is that dramaturgy's protagonist (kurukuru) is a dude. it surprised me as well
Please do a MINAMI reaction. The emotions, the storytelling, the vocals are just amazing.
I love seeing people’s reactions to the ending of Dramaturgy.
日本とEveさんを愛してくれてありがとう
Man, yall gotta listen to the Kengan Ashura intros and outros. They are absolutely insane and I think all of you will love them
Eve actually has a manga called Kara no kioku and a light novel about how to eat life i think one of the mc of the manga is the character in how to eat life his name is Tobi the boy with the big the story kind of continues to the fight song mv you get to see him and a amazing animation throughout the mv also the mv has the full song so you get the brake in the middle of the song it’s really good would love to see your reaction to it 😭🙏
bet you'll cry when you listen to either TUYU or YORUSHIKA
ps: read the lyrics as well, all of the songs has CC subtitles in english :D
Lezzgo!!! The Eve reaction is here! 🔥🔥🔥
I freaking love Eve was hoping you guys would check him out soon
Don't replay the Boredom is another really good one!
it would be a lot nicer if you guys react to the lyrics of the songs to have insights of musicians as well :D
I want more of this
Also fun fact, you can see in the beginning of how to eat life, the little yellow balls flash and turns into a finger
I love okinimesumama partly because it's a really nice change of pace from a lot of the darker feeling eve songs, and the way I interpret it is just really heartwarming
The boy (not eve btw, he's a fictional character) likes a girl, handman (the guy with the mask) is a version of himself that he doesn't get along with, he could also be interpreted as his anxiety. There are 4 versions of the boy, the main one who we always see in the middle, the blue one, the red one and handman. Handman is perfect, too perfect, he's the person the boy doesn't like but he tries to be in order to fit it and impress the girl, he imitates his dance where he kinda rolls his hand. Each rocket launch is an attempt at reaching out and expressing his true feelings to the girl, each explosion is a failure and sometimes turns into him fighting himself (the anime-looking fight scene between the boy and handman). The scene of the boy holding a giant version of his mouth open represents him forcing himself to speak and attempt to open up. In the bridge he sees his anxiety (handman) beginning to take his potential love away from him and unlike a certain other eve song it gives him the determination to push forward, take control of his anxiety and make up with handman, at the end we see the boy lying in a puddle of water with the mask of his anxiety that was drowning him popped as the girl his lying is standing over him with a smile on her face
Is this the intended meaning? Probably not. Do I care? Definitely not. This is my interpretation and I put way to much time in this I totally don't have a problem and if you spent all that time reading this then I'm sure you don't either :)
Bro, believe me when I say that your interpretation is a lot closer to home than most of my interpretations. It may not be perfect, but it makes a lot of sense.
@@ziadadel1427 thx
Kinda late, but I don't see anyone having commented it, so How to eat life and it's continuation "fight Song" are based of his manga (Kara no kyoku). No anime yet though haha (manga is very recent)
I would love to see you guys react to more of eve's stuff, but keep up the great work
I can't believe you guys only watched 3 songs LMAO
But I'm still super happy that you guys reacted.
really hope you guys do a part 2 lol
My personal favorites are 遊生夢死 (YUSEIBOSHI) and 夜は仄か (Night is Faint)
The most recommended animation is ファイトソング (Fight Song) and 僕らまだアンダーグラウンド (We're Still Underground)
There is kind of a continuation to "how to eat life", and it's the last Csm ending (fight song)
I suggest u guys doing part 2 cuz EVE has sooooooooo many good songs u haven't listened, here are my recommandations:
White Snow
Living Idly And Dying As If Dreaming
Yoku
heart forcast
Tokyo Ghetto
Bubble
plz we need part 2 i subscribed and do click that like botton☺
Omg you guys looked like a flock of pigeons with all the head bobbing in almost perfect sync lmao.
Jokes aside i totally agree with all the excitement going on, especially the big one in how to eat life lol, also Eve has a manga called kara no kioku and apparently another one tho i'm not sure.
Awww man, I wish you would done Raison d'etre and Tokyo Ghetto.
Such good songs, with cool anime to boot.
Easily would come back for a part 2 for this video.
They should have read the lyrics of the songs. That way they would not be so clueless about the songs it will help more when they have read it
ryan sometimes gets the most Baffled look on his face when he’s like, lost in the sauce of whatever you guys are reacting to lmao its really funny
i’d like to recommend again soul eater op 1, code geass op 1, & gurren lagann’s libera me from hell!
Also something that as a single i always loved about Eve is the mfing armonies like this btch makes the Best armonies both in his songs and in his old covers
Notice how the theme to How to eat life is orange and then in Fight song it changes to red
Eve is sooo good so happy you showed them
Eve actually has a manga with Tobi from How to eat life and Fight Club in it.
