      " [MV] いじめっ子 Bully- Calliope Mori " a complete tone change
      and
      " DEAD BEATS - Calliope Mori " (dead beats refers to her fans) more of a Bar based meme song.

    You pretty much nailed most of the key points to this song.
    For context, Calli was part of the underground Japanese rap scene. But when 2020 hit, the bars closed down ("shattering the bars we played") and most of her friends, peers, and mentors from that scene were forced to return to their stable 9-5's, leaving the dream to wither and die. Meanwhile, Calli took a big risk at applying for Hololive, which at that point was heavily portrayed as cutesy idol/jpop-focused (a hard departure from underground rap). She undeniably found success there, but many of her former friends saw her as selling out and trading the integrity of her art for success and leaving them behind.
    This song is basically her love letter to those friends saying "I miss you, but I can't undo what I've worked so hard to accomplish. I can't go back to you, but I can wait for you to catch up and join me on the mountaintop."

    Fun fact: this song was almost gonna thrown to the deepest part of her folders and never be released. Calli felt kinda hesitant to release it because this song talk about her past life so deeply, it's too emotional for her. But she decided to soldier on and release it, and she glad that she did. There's also a video (stream archive) of her that dive deep into the lyrics and meanings behind it.

    This song's got some interesting layers, the most interesting to me is the death of a 'life' that was the indie/underground rap scene in japan over the last few years, -- "When the ladder fell and shattered every bar that we had played" covid literally killed bars. hundreds of them that will never open again, the scene will never completely recover all while she found insane success the world she knew was ending
    she not only got to meet and be around the heroes she had that got her into music in the first place, she got to befriend them and spend years of her life running around the city with them, doing live shows, making music, working together... only for them to treat her like the bad guy when her success hit as their world ended.

      This also came out just after one of the most popular members of Hololive had "graduated" (Moved on from the company, meaning the character is retired). Many of the members got pretty emotional to see her leaving, including Calli.

      Yeah, after watching that lyrics dive video and watching her genuinely cry because none of her friends or heroes congratulated her, or were genuinely happy for her. And how she wished so bad that just one of them said that.
      I can't listen to this song without tearing up myself since then, it's just such an emotional and melancholy song with such deep and personal meaning to her, and yet written in such a way that it could apply to so many other people and situations.

    @Tepid24 Před 2 lety +704

    Your breakdowns have been crazy on point. She made entire hour-long streams about breaking down her lyrics and you're catching a bunch of hidden clues. An interesting thing to note has been that she was heavily influenced by the Japanese rap scene, which helps with that very unique sound and flow you described. A lot of this song is also about that scene and how it has changed over time. On that topic, I'd absolutely recommend reacting to the song "Crown". It was a collaboration between her and a Japanese rapper/singer duo called 'Boogey Voxx' and can be found on their channel. I'd love to hear your thoughts on some more bilingual songs, especially the Japanese rap.

    • @xsithspawnx
      @xsithspawnx Před 2 lety +19

      Agreed. Her part in that song is really kind of a counterpart or a sequel to this song I think in how she's again looking at her past, but from a slightly different point of view. I also just love that song as well and it would be a great introduction to Boogey Voxx!

    This song hits home for me in so many ways. I'm a musician who chose /not/ to pursue music, so that I could keep taking care of my girlfriend (now my wife) as her health started failing. Yes, I could have chosen to break up with her to go after my own dreams, but the "me" that would have made that decision? No, that's someone I could never be friends with. That was 20 years ago, and while I have a great many regrets about choices I've made since then, that decision is not one of them.
    I've watched a lot of reactions to this song, but I have never seen anyone nail the meaning of it the first time around the way you did. You're fast becoming my favorite rap reactor. Like a nuclear reactor, but music is the fuel.

    This song is 100% my favorite from her with "Cursed Night" as a close second. She is easily one of the best lyricists out there today. As with all her songs, you can tell she put a lot of herself and her experiences into the song but this one she put a ton of emotion into as well. She did a stream after this released where she broke down the lyrics and in parts she nearly broke down talking about it. It mostly came down to her joining Hololive drove a large wedge between her and a lot of her old Japanese rap scene friends who felt like she'd sold out. You always think your friends will have your back no matter what, but then when some of those friends turn on you because they become jealous of your success, it hurts a lot. Such a good song.

    Hi! If I remember well, Calli was in a group underground, singing at bars, when the pandemic came the places like that got closed, and they all got ‘normal’ jobs.
    Calli found hololive, she didn’t think that she was really gonna end working there, it was a joke, but they accepted. In a video she explains that, she kinda wanted them to be proud of her, but no one tell her that.
    She felt bad because she was also thinking that some of them deserved more the famous than her, even though she’s telling herself that she shouldn’t feel this way because she got it with effors, still she think that way.

    I'm really happy to see you reacting and analyzing Calli so much, she is one of the most hardworking and talented people I know. I'm too proud of her, she is a role model for me tbh. I'm so happy to see you enjoying her music and "showing" the world her talent at rapping
    Aghhhh, seriously, you are amazing, it's amazing how you are able to catch so much stuff with so little info. She literally had to make many streams explaining ghe song, and you are getting almost all... of... it...
    I'm liking you more and more, I hope Calli reacts to some of these, or at least shut them out. Just like how much I think Calli deserves her success, I also think you deserve to reach to more people. You have a lot of talent and I want to see you grow. I'm forever grateful to you for opening my mind when it comes to rap. Before watching one of your videos for the first time, I just thought rap "sounded cool" and "I like how fast it is". Now I really appreciate the genre.
    My dream scenario would be a collab between you and her. I'm sure it would tur. out to be amazing.
    WELCOME TO THE HOOOOOOLE, enjoy your stay

    This is why I love your reaction man, compared to other reactions to her songs, you really break it all down and kinda have a revelation of your own the same way we do, and then we come to an understanding of what the song is really portraying.
    Your reaction is beautiful and really meaningful man!

    @starkiller99 Před rokem +2

    Just found this recently. As a fan of Calli's music, I really appreciate this break down of the song. You really nailed how she feels about herself and how she's taken that negativity and turned it into music. I hope you keep doing that for more of her music!

  • @XXSoulxEvans

  • @atomiccore75
    @atomiccore75 Před 2 lety +78

    Another great video man! Just to clarify the meaning of the whole song: so basically that song is all about Calli's past when she was just a foreigner rapper in random clubs with her friends. Life was harsh for them AND for her, most of her friends and idols("heroes" - how she views them) devoted their lives to rap but simply could not achieve success no matter how hard they tried. Calli, inspired by her "heroes", tried just as hard and couldn't achieve success in the same way at the beginning("I'll never find another chance to say "hey thanks for saving my life", I was hopeless.."). But things have turned when someday she actually became famous thanks to sudden hype around her. From that moment on, she began to climb the career ladder. At the same time, her "heroes" began to envy Calli, turn away from her, and she, in turn, began to take the blame on herself(calling herself a "villain"), citing injustice("you watched your heroes fade inti the rear view-mirror of the villain you portrayed"). The last factor was the appearance of the coronavirus, because of which absolutely all the clubs she went to were closed("there's nothing left back there for me"; "I'll never find my way back to you"), and all those "heroes" were simply forced to give up their dreams("And your friends grew tired of fantasy; you're wishing they had stayed?"; "laughing at our own dreams, haha.. just what the hell was so funny?") and look for other jobs. At the end of the song, it becomes clear that Calli overcame all this and stopped blaming herself for what happened, since it was not her fault that only she, having put much less effort into it, unlike others, became popular("Stop the pity party, listen you don't get to be dismayed
    . You don't get to be emotional, feel blessed you got it made").
    I think that's it, I really hope I've helped you with my explanation and I'm waiting for your new videos!!
    P.S. Sorry if my English is bad lol

    Another great Calli reaction! End of a life is a personal favorite of mine and it definitely hits deep everytime I listen to it. The breakdown on this was pretty spot on, great work! Would love to see a reaction breakdown on "Red" and/or "Cursed night" as well!

  • @r6sm043
    @r6sm043 Před 2 lety +2

    amazing breakdown as always Knox, from what I've seen from clips you nailed the whole point of the song (she was reflecting on her past and how she surpassed the people she used to look up to, the song was a sort of way to get it off her chest)

    I've only found you today and I am loving the reactions already. The last few Calliope reacts, you were basically on point with your deductions and stuff. Now I'm on the journey to listen to your music as well, and so far I'm loving everything. And if you want to react more to Calliope, I recommend you reacting to her English translated Japanese song covers, like Envy Baby and Roki Roki, those are bangers as well.

    So glad ya got around to this one Knox. It dropped at a very painful time in my life and helped me ride it out and has become one of my favorite songs. As other comments have said she almost didn't release it because it opens up on her real feelings about her path and hints at things that have happened. You're on point as always with the breakdown man, keep that mind sharp, and I hope you keep on checking out some dope Calliope tunes.

  • @imnobodyatall6577

    Man, I enjoyed your analysis and how you took this whole thing seriously and I appreciate that so much. I had fun listening to your analysis about Calli's songs as someone who also listens to it. In a sense, I'm glad that you aren't just outright praising it for the sake of not making enemies or for the sake of just praising it. I'm glad that you literally analyze the lyrics of her song, and the way her music is constructed to fit or make the narrative that she is going for and that is how you praise it by doing these breakdown or analysis. It's just good! Definitely subbing!

Thanks Knox, knew I could count on you for the quality breakdown.

    @dcresistance Před 2 lety +56

    You definitely need to do her entire "Your Mori" EP, her songs "Graveyard Shift" and "Crown" with Boogey Voxx (check for English CCs), "Live Again", and "Q" with another Hololive English member Gawr Gura.
    During Calli's lyric breakdown stream, she got really emotional talking about the rear-view mirror lines and onward, saying that a bunch of the people she looked up to turned their backs on her when she became successful in Hololive, how she felt guilty about it, and that she just wanted them to be proud of her. There's a clip about it, "Calli gets emotional when explaining the lyrics of her new song"

  • @ArchangelNashan
    @ArchangelNashan Před 2 lety +13

    Should really look into Hololive Myth's track "Journey of a Thousand Years" as it really shows how Calli's writing changes when writing for a Group with the members in mind while also showing off all of the Girls' Singing talents. There's also Myth or Treat that they did for Halloween and Calli wrote the Song in a night with a little help from some drinks. Also Gura has a Track called Reflect that really follows the image of this and Cursed Night in the sense of accepting who you were, who you are and moving forward with how you want to be.

  • @trentsims
    @trentsims Před 9 měsíci +1

    This song is so good, I love the very subtle lyric changes like how it goes from Crazy Dream in the beginning to Hazy Dream at the end. Or as Knox here pointed out, it goes from Running Roadless to Driving Roadless. It keeps these sections feeling fresh despite them being repeated.

    @girbles880 Před 2 lety +5

    I'm loving your Calliope reactions, this is my favorite of hers because she just flows like water on the track and there's so many layers of meaning in the lyrics. For more recommendations, I suggest Red. Another of my favorites is a song she is featured on, Crown by Boogey Voxx. For a tangentially related song, I recommend Wanting, Getting, Wanting by Demondice.
