I'm soooo excited to watch the MV! 🥳 It was a big honor and motivational opportunity that Calli spent a lot of her time to make this song perfect. Thank you Calliope-san and all the people who worked and helped me, and us really hard to make this happen!
I'm really glad that I could work for this MV!! "Scuffed Up Age" are one of my favorite from the album. I really love the flow of the music and especially the well written lyrics by dad !! Hope you guys enjoy the MV !!
"I choose to love it anyway" is a lyric that always hits me different. How Calli is able to love a world that has hurt her so much, is sign of true strength that no one can take away from her.
@@As8bakwTheSage When she signed with Hololive a lot of her friends in the underground rap scene in Japan criticized her for signing up with them saying that she "Sold Out" to them.
You know she barely means it right? She's an actor along with a being a singer. Also how many rappers do you know DONT sing about getting hosed over and having a shitty life. It's a thing to pretend you are downtrodden.
@@Berstich She's also a human being, and has spoken before about how her lyrics are often personal to her in their meaning. Is it that hard to believe that someone like her is capable of having bad experiences in life?
Lyrics: Lost in thoughts of frosted frame of mind Honest to god, it's just not our time Promises flawed by cosmic design Kore kurai doutte kotonai Demo namida no ato wa kesenai Coming of age, the stage doesn't light up Just right away, they told us it might've Yume wa mou akiramemasu This cynical mind says "why'd you try?"

Late nights, the city feels dead, sure, but like… The lights and sights and sounds are treasures.

What's your reason to stay? This shining world led astray Won't leave it all to decay I choose to love it anyway. We choose to know The struggles of this scuffed up age we live in So don't give in.
This, most of Calli's songs are always so meaningful if you read the lyrics. They are so well thought, usually depicting Calli's own thoughts & state of mind when she wrote the lyrics. She's not just randomly mixing rhyme words.
@@Cosmoman78 I agree, but I think her recent collaboration with UMG Japan really pushed away all out her creativity in her recent album. The latest album seems so "generic" even her lyrics, they did her so bad. Regardless she really is so good at coming up on lyrics, I love how metaphorical it is always. She always spoke deep and touching that sometimes I just feel goosebumps like she's really talking to me through her songs (excluding the UMG releases).
@@stein9459 well, if it makes you feel any better, this is UMG Japan, not UMG America. So there is a 0% chance they'll turn her into Doja Calli or Calli Minaj or Calli Thee Stallion or Calli B and Calli wouldn't have agreed to this if they didn't give her any lyrical freedom.
@@stein9459 this is a late reply but her first album (it's actually an EP since it's less than 8 songs) with UMG (shinigami note) seems so "generic" because that's how calli intended it to be. She literally said multiple times before and after her first EP that she made it different because she wanted to try something different and to maybe hit the mainstream a bit more but her recent album now is more of calli's style so hopefully you liked it more ^^
The lyrics kinda hits you hard at some point where you didn't even know you even had something that relates to the lyrics but it's there waiting to be found and man, it's kinda bittersweet
I AM SO IN LOVE with the art direction for this MV; it's doing an incredible job of reinforcing the gentleness of Calli's lyrics while still keeping the punk attitude of rejecting the harshness of the world around us. I legit teared up again watching this.
to Calli, EbiEbiShrimp, Camellia, & AstroSalt for all of the hard work on making this beautiful song and MV. The song is so pretty and heartfelt and has always been a favorite from the UnAlive album (and its always sounded great when performed live too). The MV suits it so well too. I really love the art style, its very cute and combined with the great choice in color palette, its a very pleasant & pretty MV to look at. The shift from the darker blue colors to the lighter pink colors towards the end of the song was a great stylistic choice to go along with the hope present in the lyrics. Another great MV has been added to the catalogue
This song is right up there with End of a Life as being my favorite songs from Calli! The lyrics really hit hard in both cases and never cease to get me into that kind of melancholic, yet hopeful atmosphere. The style of the MV was so good, really different from what we've seen in the past from you and that's appropriate for this song, it really fits! Ebi and Astro really killed it! It honestly does give me JRPG end credits vibes and I know I'm not the first to say that. Like, think a modern day set JRPG. Persona was indeed my initial thought when I first heard it, but I can also see these lyrics being used appropriately to end a new Caligula Effect game
These lyrics are just so fucking mood, although this world is full of pain and hardships, sometimes you just cant help but love it because sometimes, even the little wonderful things in life matter, always love yourself, no matter what. Thank you so much for this MV Calli ! We love you!
I really love the symbolism behind the grim reapers apprentice picking up the tired and dejected and encouraging them to live their life to the fullest. It is honestly such a beautiful relationship. Calli is great.
a couple things: I absolutely love Camellia’s work oml, this and Dead on Arrival are both produced by this amazing and underrated music producer, I just love their style so much. The artwork is absolutely beautiful throughout this entire MV, the theme fits perfectly with the song and the transitions are astonishingly smooth and well coordinated. I love the soft but slightly dark themes expressed in this song and the MV portrays this beautifully. I personally really appreciate the lyrics in the MV being in romaji. As someone who’s studying Japanese, this was just a nice touch that made the song easier for me to understand as I read along. Then of course, Mori Calliope’s amazing talent as a songwriter cannot go without praise. I personally really like lyric MV’s as they allow me to gain a better understanding of the song, this is especially the case with Mori Calliope’s works. Whenever she writes a new song they almost always hold more than one meaning, and manage to convey a lot whilst also leaving the message open to her audience. How she manages to do this is absolutely beyond me, it must take someone who really loves what they do to produce music as great as she does. Seeing Mori Calliope grow over these past years and learn new skills that she can use in her singing/songwriting has been an awe-inspiring experience for me personally, and I’m very excited to see how much more she grows. As a J-rock fan I am also particularly excited for her new jrock sing coming out in her next album iirc, I really can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us. TLDR: amazing producer, amazing MV, amazing song, amazing Calli.
I spent the first 19 years being alone and useless, doing nothing. Then I got a job and realized that no matter what you choose it’s all bound to hurt. That’s not to say it’s all meaningless but it’s to say choose wisely what you do with your time because if you don’t you’ll feel as though you’ve lived a meaningless painful life.
I sometimes see Jpop （Japanese music） includes English lyrics. But I hardly see weastern music includes Japanese lyrics. So I’m glad English speaking people sing Weastern musics include Japanese lyrics like Calli. （念の為に和訳）私は英語の歌詞が含まれている日本の歌は時々見掛けますが、日本語の歌詞が含まれている西洋の歌は殆ど見掛けません。 だからカリオペのように英語圏の人でありながら日本語歌詞が含まれる西洋の曲を歌ってくれる人がいて私は嬉しいです。
I seriously cannot remember how many times I have listen to this since the release, How is it every time calli release a new song my heart got easily captured? Amazing artist man such talent and emotions to the song
To this day, this song still makes me tear up, but not in a bad way. I cannot stress enough how many times your songs have helped pull me out of a bad mental space... I still haven't found my 'reason to stay'. But, I also haven't given up searching. Sincerely, thank you.
I love Calli's songs, especially their lyrics. It shows me a reflection of "Calli"'s thoughts, emotions, and inner struggles. But this one hit me on a personal level. So thanks a lot.
just looking at the most replayed bar. This whole song is such a vibe that we don't even bother replaying any specific part of it. Instead, they let the whole video play before listening to it all over again. Such a pretty MV too...
Really love listening to this song, the lyrics and Calli's voice range are powerful, and the beats makes you want to chill and also vibe to at the same time, so glad to see there's gonna be a MV! can't wait
Lately returning here more often. Easily in top-3 Mori songs. Vibe, emotions, jazzy melody, her vocal experimentations. Man, you really can find something new every time you listen to it. Спасибо, Калли
What an absolutely gorgeous MV for an absolutely gorgeous song. UnAlive is my favorite Calli album/EP and it's for a good reason. She explores so many genres in it, and excels in all of them. It has bangers in a traditional sense, like UnAlive, but also beautiful songs that make you stop and reflect, like this one. Really glad Scuffed Up Age got such a nice video, it's one of Calli's best works and this MV gives it the love it deserves.
Calli's voice is very unique in this song, in that she has a different tone and inflection in her singing. Not that it's bad of course, but this new original really speaks to me in some way.
Calliope Mori's best song by far; a perfectly paced rollercoaster of cool vibes and powerful lyrics. In a just world this'd be played on radio stations around the world, not relegated to a measly million views on CZcams.
You always seem to make music that resonates with me on a deeper level. The animation only adds to this odd melancholic feeling in my soul. I enjoy it.
Didn't mind it at first but now Scuffed Up Age is one of my favorite songs from the "UnAlive" album, and that's because of its message. There can be a lot of bad days but what matters is how you face them and how you face life and the world around you. You can either give up and let every problem step on you, or smile through the pain and keep on going despite the struggles. I used to be cynical and had a very, very negative outlook on the world and everyone living on it, and even after falling into the vtuber rabbit hole those thoughts still persisted, even on this year, but recently I've calmed down and realized I've been harsh to a lot of people, even for the tiniest of problems, and now I'm trying to correct myself into having better thoughts as well as trying to not be harsh to others, and not let the bad news fall into that same cynical mindset i had for years. Calli has been through a lot of tough times, but she persisted through them, reaching higher and higher and eventually getting to where she is now, and that, in and of itself, is *inspiring...*
Calli is definitely a lyric genius, and it is always very meaningful, were inspired by her own experience in life.. which resonates to all of us who live in this beautiful-messed up world.
On top of being my favorite UnAlive track, I think this is also the first Calli original that really made me cry, and it got me crying during the first few listens. And honestly, while I wouldn't mind the more hyped-up sounds I hear from releases like the Dead Beats EP and the Shinigami Note EP, I wish they had more of this sort of lyricism, these inspired words that express not only how sick and tired one is about life but also how they're using that frustration as a reason to love and not hate. I mean, even haters, with even me being able to be one of them, want to love right, right? And we're already living with more than enough pride, which we often mix up with love. So yeah, I think this song represents me as a Dead Beat the most right now, and I feel more assured about that as I know that the Dead Beats had some direct involvement in the writing of this song's lyrics. With all that said, thank you very much for also having a music video produced for this song, Calli. And again, I wish us all more strength and worthwhile times.
Something about the lyrical theme, as well as the art style and animation for this MV hits me the same way as certain kurzgesagt videos. It seems like a critical bit of wisdom to keep in mind for this age, recognizing that the world is much bigger than you, and that it might not want things to go your way-it gives you better perspective on what you CAN accomplish, and what's important enough to fight for. Absolutely magnificent song, now with an absolutely styling visual ride to go with it.
This is my favorite Calli song. Maybe along with end of a life, but definitely at the top. And is the message that I love the most. I'm not sure if this is exactly what's intended to understand from the song, but to me, it's truly inspiring and uplifting. The world is pretty bad a lot of the time, but that doesn't mean we should be the same way. Life is beautiful, and we should try to appreciate it. Even if we can't help but be sad a day, two days, a week or a month, we truly have something special in our hands. I don't want to sound too optimistic either, cause that would go against the message of the song, but don't be sad to feel sad. It's ok, it's normal and pretty common too. But tomorrow we should hope for it to be different. Even if in the end it doesn't happen. It's just the fact that we're constantly trying that will eventually bring us happiness. There's a lot of feelings of optimism and happiness that I get that I can't express my words fluently enough for it to make sense, and the fact that I'm almost asleep at this point probably doesn't help either. But the song is beautiful and brings me a lot of joy to my heart. I'm sorry I can't express that well enough, but thank you. For this and everything you make Calli. Thank you.
Man, it's crazy how like half of your songs that's come out I've had a crazy change in my life. Both positive and negative. Let's see what this one brings me 😌
This song isnt just fire on mute, it's fire on max volume too. Great song, I'm loving this art style. Kinda retro yet futuristic, like a pink panther cyberpunk or something.
Hi mori, just here to tell you this is my favorite song! And you're my favorite shinigami! My little pet turtle passed away, i hope the best reaper can lead Mr. Turtle to the other happy world. R.I.P. FOR MR. TURTLE 🐢
This MV version is different than the non-MV one that has been on CZcams for a while. It's missing the synth in the chorus which added a lot to the power of the song.
You always seem to make music that resonates with me on a deeper level. The animation only adds to this odd melancholic feeling in my soul. I enjoy it. Thank you.
Don't know if it's just me, but Scuffed Up Age always gave me Utada Hikaru vibes, like one of her songs that I'm sure I've heard before despite it not existing.
"Scuffed Up Age" is easily up in my fave from Calli's amazing list of songs. This just vibes so much with me and I love it. Plus, Calli vocal is always beautiful to hear.

This song is really great. I love it.
PERFECT SONG YEAHHH🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Congrats on the mv it was worth the wait to see
I'm really glad that I could work for this MV!! "Scuffed Up Age" are one of my favorite from the album.
I really love the flow of the music and especially the well written lyrics by dad !!
Hope you guys enjoy the MV !!
I hope to enjoy more MV in the future
Absolutely amazing!!!! It fits the vibe of the song SO good!! Awesome work!
That was really fantastic.
for you work on the MV.
It's one of my faves as well, thank you for helping to make it.
"I choose to love it anyway" is a lyric that always hits me different. How Calli is able to love a world that has hurt her so much, is sign of true strength that no one can take away from her.
wait what happened to her?
@@As8bakwTheSage When she signed with Hololive a lot of her friends in the underground rap scene in Japan criticized her for signing up with them saying that she "Sold Out" to them.
You know she barely means it right? She's an actor along with a being a singer. Also how many rappers do you know DONT sing about getting hosed over and having a shitty life. It's a thing to pretend you are downtrodden.
@@Berstich She's also a human being, and has spoken before about how her lyrics are often personal to her in their meaning.
Is it that hard to believe that someone like her is capable of having bad experiences in life?
@@Berstich 🤓
You are kidding me. This MV has not reached 1M views yet?? This is definitely her best song in the Album.
We did it❤
You should probably double-check
That is underrated
Finally made it
Hell Yeah. Scuffed Up Age is an incredible song and I’m glad it’s getting an MV
Sam a loose loose days mv would be awesome too
What is an MV
@@user-pv4ht7zv4x It’s an abbreviation of Music Video.
One of my favorite songs, it’s so beautiful both lyrically and musically. Words can’t convey how much I love this track
when I was listening, it was mix between lo-fi and calm rap song, amazing
A really inspirational song!
Lyrics:
Lost in thoughts of frosted frame of mind
Honest to god, it's just not our time
Promises flawed by cosmic design
Kore kurai doutte kotonai
Demo namida no ato wa kesenai
Coming of age, the stage doesn't light up
Just right away, they told us it might've
Yume wa mou akiramemasu
This cynical mind says "why'd you try?"
"Why not give up and play the bad guy?"
Wakatteru sa
Unmei ga nami tate nagara anata nomou to suru no nara
Kuzureochisou na karada dakishimeru kara
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we're living in
Kusa tta kuzu no hibi dakedo
Kono yoake could seem a lot like "not your day"
Sore demo anata wo sutete shimawanaide
Can't find a reason to stay
Some busted world led astray
Once trusted, left to decay
We choose to go on anyway.
Lost in thoughts of always changing pace
Allies and friends hiding more than one face
Not really surprising, why are you compromising?
The sun is rising A new horizon
With friendships lacking lies and
The knives in your back, so what are you prioritizing?
You aren't sick of crying? See, I don't buy it.
But here we are, hanging on, fighting strong despite it.
"hakanai" ja arawashi kirenai
Mou me wo tojite shimaitai kurai no sekai
This cynical mind says "why’d you try?"
"Why not give up and play the bad guy?"
Wakaranain da
Hokori mamire no machi de anata no tameiki no kage
Watashi no kasuka na hi de terashitai dake
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we’re giving in
Dosha ni yogorete Be real, it hurts to grow
Believing in a world of hate is overrated
Maa, demo anata wa utsukushii no dakara
Must be something surreal
An endless dream we can't heal
This rusted world wound up real
Still wanna love the way it feels.
Late nights, the city feels dead, sure, but like…
The lights and sights and sounds are treasures.
Konna sekai ni aragatte aruku chikara nante
Watashi ni wa nai kedo
Face up, this world can't kill that inner spark
Why don't we turn this scuffed up page we're writing in
Konna sekai jya Be real, I think we know
Kono yoake is rarely fair, decide your fate
It's your life anata wo sutete shimawanaide
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Like all those optimists say
But the truth is rather ruthless, it might be rain
The question is, will you bear that pain?
What's your reason to stay?
This shining world led astray
Won't leave it all to decay
I choose to love it anyway.
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we live in
So don't give in.
thank you
Is it possible to see the translation of the Japanese lines somewhere?
I swear Calli's husky tones when she hits that one tone/word area is always my absolute favorite parts.
YO SCUFFED UP AGE🙏🙏🙏
Finally!! Happy to see another song from the album get an MV. Mean while SN chilling in the complete column.
The musical development that Calli always keeps improving on is just so insane. I'm glad this song got an MV
Ever since I started to pay more attention to the lyrics, I am loving Calli's song even more.
This, most of Calli's songs are always so meaningful if you read the lyrics. They are so well thought, usually depicting Calli's own thoughts & state of mind when she wrote the lyrics. She's not just randomly mixing rhyme words.
@@Cosmoman78 I agree, but I think her recent collaboration with UMG Japan really pushed away all out her creativity in her recent album.

@@stein9459 well, if it makes you feel any better, this is UMG Japan, not UMG America. So there is a 0% chance they'll turn her into Doja Calli or Calli Minaj or Calli Thee Stallion or Calli B and Calli wouldn't have agreed to this if they didn't give her any lyrical freedom.
@@stein9459 this is a late reply but her first album (it's actually an EP since it's less than 8 songs) with UMG (shinigami note) seems so "generic" because that's how calli intended it to be.
She literally said multiple times before and after her first EP that she made it different because she wanted to try something different and to maybe hit the mainstream a bit more but her recent album now is more of calli's style so hopefully you liked it more ^^
The lyrics kinda hits you hard at some point where you didn't even know you even had something that relates to the lyrics but it's there waiting to be found and man, it's kinda bittersweet
Man, still one of Calli's best songs. Need more people to listen this, such a beautiful direction with this one
Scuffed Up Age had to be my number 1 song from Calli and it's getting an MV, I can't wait to see it
These lyrics HIT, and the beautiful MV to match. Thank you for your hard work Calli
It's weird seeing you here, lol
(in a good way lol)
I AM SO IN LOVE with the art direction for this MV; it's doing an incredible job of reinforcing the gentleness of Calli's lyrics while still keeping the punk attitude of rejecting the harshness of the world around us. I legit teared up again watching this.
to Calli, EbiEbiShrimp, Camellia, & AstroSalt for all of the hard work on making this beautiful song and MV. The song is so pretty and heartfelt and has always been a favorite from the UnAlive album (and its always sounded great when performed live too). The MV suits it so well too. I really love the art style, its very cute and combined with the great choice in color palette, its a very pleasant & pretty MV to look at. The shift from the darker blue colors to the lighter pink colors towards the end of the song was a great stylistic choice to go along with the hope present in the lyrics. Another great MV has been added to the catalogue
This is such an underated song
This song is right up there with End of a Life as being my favorite songs from Calli! The lyrics really hit hard in both cases and never cease to get me into that kind of melancholic, yet hopeful atmosphere.
The style of the MV was so good, really different from what we've seen in the past from you and that's appropriate for this song, it really fits! Ebi and Astro really killed it!
It honestly does give me JRPG end credits vibes and I know I'm not the first to say that. Like, think a modern day set JRPG. Persona was indeed my initial thought when I first heard it, but I can also see these lyrics being used appropriately to end a new Caligula Effect game
Imagine making a continuous trilogy of this song.
Hands down the most underrated calli song
These lyrics are just so fucking mood, although this world is full of pain and hardships, sometimes you just cant help but love it because sometimes, even the little wonderful things in life matter, always love yourself, no matter what. Thank you so much for this MV Calli ! We love you!
いやまさかこの曲のMV来るとは思わなかったよ…… もう嬉しさのあまり泣いてるよ……
I never thought I'd see a music video for this song. I'm already crying with joy.
My favorite song from UnAlive! Thank you and the crew for this MV!
A real underrated song
I really love the symbolism behind the grim reapers apprentice picking up the tired and dejected and encouraging them to live their life to the fullest. It is honestly such a beautiful relationship. Calli is great.
So goood!!!!!!
hope u cover this one too, king
Hope you guys enjoy more MV songs made by Calliope
age we're giving inがpage we're writing inになるのかなんかめちゃくちゃ好き
a couple things:

TLDR: amazing producer, amazing MV, amazing song, amazing Calli.
Bro said camellia was underrated… everything else I agree with tho 🫡
I gotta say Scuffed Up Age is one of my favorite songs! Can't wait to see what you do with the MV!
I spent the first 19 years being alone and useless, doing nothing. Then I got a job and realized that no matter what you choose it’s all bound to hurt. That’s not to say it’s all meaningless but it’s to say choose wisely what you do with your time because if you don’t you’ll feel as though you’ve lived a meaningless painful life.

（念の為に和訳）私は英語の歌詞が含まれている日本の歌は時々見掛けますが、日本語の歌詞が含まれている西洋の歌は殆ど見掛けません。
だからカリオペのように英語圏の人でありながら日本語歌詞が含まれる西洋の曲を歌ってくれる人がいて私は嬉しいです。
This needs more views! I don't get how a masterpiece like this hasn't reached 1M views yet?? Problem with YT algorithm or something?
一度聴いたときからずっとこの曲の虜です。
美しい曲と美しいMV、まさに幸せ。
I seriously cannot remember how many times I have listen to this since the release, How is it every time calli release a new song my heart got easily captured? Amazing artist man such talent and emotions to the song
I always came back when I have a bad day or some cynical thoughts. It helps a lot xD
何で今まで知らなかったんだろう、こんなカッコ良さ初めてだ
To this day, this song still makes me tear up, but not in a bad way. I cannot stress enough how many times your songs have helped pull me out of a bad mental space... I still haven't found my 'reason to stay'. But, I also haven't given up searching. Sincerely, thank you.
Ah finally a Scuffed Up Age MV. This incredible song can finally rack up some numbers.
Cammelia can make every type of music‼︎
ジャズ系の曲も作れるなんて多彩過ぎるw
頑張ってきたことが全て無駄になりそうで、とても辛かったけどこの曲はそんな自分を励ましてくれているようで元気をもらいました。ありがとう
I love Calli's songs, especially their lyrics. It shows me a reflection of "Calli"'s thoughts, emotions, and inner struggles.
But this one hit me on a personal level. So thanks a lot.
This is the kinda song I want play when I’m feeling tired or before bed. It’s both relaxing, beautiful, and inspiring all at the same time.
Glad this is getting a MV, I can listen to this song on repeat for hours it's such a great song.
Coming back again to hear this masterpiece.
just looking at the most replayed bar. This whole song is such a vibe that we don't even bother replaying any specific part of it. Instead, they let the whole video play before listening to it all over again. Such a pretty MV too...

Really love listening to this song, the lyrics and Calli's voice range are powerful, and the beats makes you want to chill and also vibe to at the same time, so glad to see there's gonna be a MV! can't wait
Right when i about to abandon another dream and another me. Thanks, Calli.
Lately returning here more often. Easily in top-3 Mori songs. Vibe, emotions, jazzy melody, her vocal experimentations. Man, you really can find something new every time you listen to it.
Спасибо, Калли
My favorite song from this album!!!
This sounds like the kind of song that you'd ride right into Los Angeles or Las Vegas with.
calli's best song so far
How does this one not have a million? This is one of Calli's best songs and she gave us a karaoke version with romaji! C'mon!
I am surprised as weĺl. This song deserved so much more views. How tf this MV is so underrated?
What an absolutely gorgeous MV for an absolutely gorgeous song. UnAlive is my favorite Calli album/EP and it's for a good reason. She explores so many genres in it, and excels in all of them. It has bangers in a traditional sense, like UnAlive, but also beautiful songs that make you stop and reflect, like this one. Really glad Scuffed Up Age got such a nice video, it's one of Calli's best works and this MV gives it the love it deserves.
Calli's voice is very unique in this song, in that she has a different tone and inflection in her singing. Not that it's bad of course, but this new original really speaks to me in some way.
Some of the lines and notes in this song are so beautifil it's unreal. I'm glad we're getting more chances to appreciate Unalive yet. 🙏
Calliope Mori's best song by far; a perfectly paced rollercoaster of cool vibes and powerful lyrics. In a just world this'd be played on radio stations around the world, not relegated to a measly million views on CZcams.
YOOOO LETSGOOO
One of my favorite songs finally getting the MV it deserves. Can't wait to see it!
You always seem to make music that resonates with me on a deeper level. The animation only adds to this odd melancholic feeling in my soul. I enjoy it.
テンションが上がる歌も大好きですけど、この曲はここ最近の中で一番のお気に入りです。大好きです！
カリオペの優しい歌声と優しいムービーがとても可愛い
Didn't mind it at first but now Scuffed Up Age is one of my favorite songs from the "UnAlive" album, and that's because of its message. There can be a lot of bad days but what matters is how you face them and how you face life and the world around you. You can either give up and let every problem step on you, or smile through the pain and keep on going despite the struggles. I used to be cynical and had a very, very negative outlook on the world and everyone living on it, and even after falling into the vtuber rabbit hole those thoughts still persisted, even on this year, but recently I've calmed down and realized I've been harsh to a lot of people, even for the tiniest of problems, and now I'm trying to correct myself into having better thoughts as well as trying to not be harsh to others, and not let the bad news fall into that same cynical mindset i had for years.
Calli has been through a lot of tough times, but she persisted through them, reaching higher and higher and eventually getting to where she is now, and that, in and of itself, is *inspiring...*
夜のドライブに連れて行きたいおしゃれな曲。好きだわぁ～
Calli is definitely a lyric genius, and it is always very meaningful, were inspired by her own experience in life.. which resonates to all of us who live in this beautiful-messed up world.
Glad this song could get an MV, really love the clean MV style! Ebi Ebi Beam! Thank you for the beautiful MV!!
One of my favorites from UnAlive! Can’t wait for the MV!
夜歩きながら聴いていい曲だなぁと思ってたのが、MVの雰囲気と近くてなんか嬉しい
英語母国語じゃないけどカリオペの書く英語の歌詞ってどの曲もいいなっていつも思ってます。バキバキにかっこいい奴もいいけど、こういう葛藤とか苦しさの混じった奴が特に好き。嫌でも頑張らないといけないときに向き合う元気がもらえる
absolutely incredible in any way.
On top of being my favorite UnAlive track, I think this is also the first Calli original that really made me cry, and it got me crying during the first few listens. And honestly, while I wouldn't mind the more hyped-up sounds I hear from releases like the Dead Beats EP and the Shinigami Note EP, I wish they had more of this sort of lyricism, these inspired words that express not only how sick and tired one is about life but also how they're using that frustration as a reason to love and not hate. I mean, even haters, with even me being able to be one of them, want to love right, right? And we're already living with more than enough pride, which we often mix up with love. So yeah, I think this song represents me as a Dead Beat the most right now, and I feel more assured about that as I know that the Dead Beats had some direct involvement in the writing of this song's lyrics.
With all that said, thank you very much for also having a music video produced for this song, Calli. And again, I wish us all more strength and worthwhile times.
This is peak Mori Calliope! It's dripping with her unique style and personality from beginning to end.
Top 3 song off UnAlive. Calli's vocals are just so smooth on this song.
Also never forget disturbingly fleshy CZcams premiere countdown.
Honestly one of my favorite songs I've heard in a while.
This song truly needed its own MV, buffed by 2 years of self improvements, we couldn't ask for more, thank you
アルバムの中でも特に好きな曲だから今回のMVはべらぼうに嬉しい
これもっと伸びて欲しい
I think one of the things I appreciate most about Calli is her refusal to stay inside the box of a single musical style. Keep being you, Dad.
Something about the lyrical theme, as well as the art style and animation for this MV hits me the same way as certain kurzgesagt videos. It seems like a critical bit of wisdom to keep in mind for this age, recognizing that the world is much bigger than you, and that it might not want things to go your way-it gives you better perspective on what you CAN accomplish, and what's important enough to fight for. Absolutely magnificent song, now with an absolutely styling visual ride to go with it.
This is my favorite Calli song. Maybe along with end of a life, but definitely at the top. And is the message that I love the most.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what's intended to understand from the song, but to me, it's truly inspiring and uplifting. The world is pretty bad a lot of the time, but that doesn't mean we should be the same way. Life is beautiful, and we should try to appreciate it. Even if we can't help but be sad a day, two days, a week or a month, we truly have something special in our hands. I don't want to sound too optimistic either, cause that would go against the message of the song, but don't be sad to feel sad. It's ok, it's normal and pretty common too. But tomorrow we should hope for it to be different. Even if in the end it doesn't happen. It's just the fact that we're constantly trying that will eventually bring us happiness.
There's a lot of feelings of optimism and happiness that I get that I can't express my words fluently enough for it to make sense, and the fact that I'm almost asleep at this point probably doesn't help either. But the song is beautiful and brings me a lot of joy to my heart. I'm sorry I can't express that well enough, but thank you. For this and everything you make Calli. Thank you.
Man, it's crazy how like half of your songs that's come out I've had a crazy change in my life. Both positive and negative. Let's see what this one brings me 😌
This song isnt just fire on mute, it's fire on max volume too. Great song, I'm loving this art style. Kinda retro yet futuristic, like a pink panther cyberpunk or something.
정말 아름다운 노래!!!
ㄹㅇ 정점
ドラムと歌のハマり方が最高に気持ち良い。
意識して聞いてみて
This lyrics really hits where it wants to hit, and it dealt a critical hit
Hi mori, just here to tell you this is my favorite song! And you're my favorite shinigami!
My little pet turtle passed away, i hope the best reaper can lead Mr. Turtle to the other happy world.
R.I.P. FOR MR. TURTLE 🐢
Very jazzy. Would be right at home in a Persona game.
うわーめっちゃおしゃれで最高
音が気持ち良すぎる
I still can't fathom how this MV is so frickin underrated?? How? Did YT algorithm screwed this MV?
Looping for at least a week
I thought this cute thumbnail was hiding something.. I didn't expect this
This MV version is different than the non-MV one that has been on CZcams for a while. It's missing the synth in the chorus which added a lot to the power of the song.
This song is so beautiful. Been playing it once everyday for a week straight now and I'm still in love with this. 😍😍😍
This is some cute Motion design
Calli continues to change it up and show that she is capable of more than just rapping.
You always seem to make music that resonates with me on a deeper level. The animation only adds to this odd melancholic feeling in my soul. I enjoy it. Thank you.
The second song of the UnAlive album to receive an MV. Makes a lot of people happy. Thank you.
Don't know if it's just me, but Scuffed Up Age always gave me Utada Hikaru vibes, like one of her songs that I'm sure I've heard before despite it not existing.
This type of song suit Mori voice more than Rapping with overblown EDM beat
これからの時期にぴったりなエモエモソング………
This artstyle is absolutely beautiful, I love the little motif of the scribble always reappearing to show that constantly present turmoil.
"Scuffed Up Age" is easily up in my fave from Calli's amazing list of songs. This just vibes so much with me and I love it. Plus, Calli vocal is always beautiful to hear.
この曲寝る前とか夜散歩する時によく聞く曲ですごく好き
