    9:27 I mean the song is called "Mephisto"😅
    also I feel like it goes well with the lyrics

    i get why the random octave jumps are not everyone's thing, but i personally do think they fit the song. (especially because. as you said, stagecraft & performance art - she created a whole character for live performances of the song lol. an idol who's supposed to be unstable. & i think that came across in this first take)

      Very true. I wasn’t aware that that was the theme. I suppose it does fit in that sense.

      @@coversandcommentary yeah !! i recommend checking out their performance of "impregnable" on the first take (that they did shortly after this). they have the full band there & she's not playing a character so the vibes are very different.

    I think it does fit the tone, but queen bee as a band in general does songs and arrangements that are a little more brash and extreme to some people. I can see them not being everyone’s cup of tea although they do have some more understated songs

    The song “fire” by queen bee (the first take) is also super epic

    I recommend two other Queen Bee's performances from The First Take, songs "Fire" and "Impregnable". First one is first opening from anime "Dororo" from 2019, one of Queen Bee's best songs, insane high notes! In that performance are only Avu-chan (vocal) and Hibari-kun (acoustic guitar), I'm not sure if you know, but Queen Bee is band's name. And second song is their older song from 2012, it's very emotional song, you can see, hear and feel that is important for Avu-chan, and in this performamce is full band. In both videos are english subs, especially in second song it's important. ;)

    I think once you understand the meaning of the lyrics, you'll understand the way they sing it.
    I think the stars in the lyrics imply idols.
    Mephisto​(translation)
    My toes, hungry for a last chance
    Began to dance across the night sky
    An ordinary stance will never enchant
    Only stars can be the envy of jewels
    Tears and sweat float on the surface, the traces of blood
    To only swim in someone’s eyes is but a play
    But the stage won’t let me go
    I’ll seek for it forevermore, longing for it
    I’ve never seen such a liar.
    You must have been born with this level of depravity
    This lie is love. And this lie is a gift to the world.
    Remember who you lived alongside
    I’ll risk my life, I’ll give my life to you
    After all, you gave me time, didn’t you?
    Once I fulfil all my desires, ah, once I achieve them
    I want to see you
    So I wish upon a star
    Is something only precious when you can never go back?
    If you never start, it’s easier to look down on it
    But it’s never going to get any easier
    A sad light that gathers day after day
    You must have been born this way, with this level of depravity
    This lie is love. And this lie is a gift to the world.
    I’ve forgotten who I lived as!
    If life would only return to you, if it could reach you
    I don’t care what happens to me
    But it seems all things cannot be fulfilled
    If I can’t be with you, then I want to be you
    The stars shatter, then shine
    I’ll risk my life, I’ll give my life to you
    After all, you gave me time, didn’t you?
    Once I fulfil all my desires, ah, once I achieve them
    I want to see you
    So I wish upon a star
    Come, children of the stars, sleep well
    The light will not dim, if you’re the ones who shine
    Come, children of the stars, aim well
    No flickering allowed, if you’re the ones who shine

    The song fits the anime, some feels issues within, but it was done for a reason.

    この歌は医師の経験を持つ天才が高校に通いながら、母親を刺殺するよう指示した父親に復讐して殺害する過程を描くアニメ。つまり頭脳明晰な主人公アクアが綿密な殺人計画を立てて自ら母親殺害の復讐を実行するホラー小説です。世界最高の頭脳を持つ天才高校生が殺人計画を立てる過程を描くホラー映画なのです。従ってエンディングは必ず恐怖と不協和音が漂う音楽を作った。オープニングにも母親アイの物語を描いた「アイドル」。エンディングは子供のアクアを描いた。テーマ曲は人間の醜さに沿った歌、不協和音に集約する。この人間の歪みが歌の内容に反映する。明るい美しい歌はこの物語に反する。必ず頭脳明晰な主人公の不気味さと混乱を歌にする。人間の醜さと不協和音が物語のテーマなのだから。

    How do you not like the song being made more fun and creative

    • @coversandcommentary
      @coversandcommentary  Před 5 měsíci

      It’s great stagecraft! But there is such a thing as adding or changing too much. This was bordering on that line. It was a fun performance, but diverged almost a bit too much. But that’s just my opinion.

      @@coversandcommentary it is just queen bees style plus it fits the dark and dramatic song meaning about ai and aqua in oshi no ko. None of queen bees performances are the same and that’s what makes her so great

      Fair enough. I don’t have enough experience with this artist to know, but I’ll be sure to keep listening to more. 😁
