Calliope Mori - DEAD BEATS

[@shawtknight]

I think when she says "Rapping is easy, making music's hard" means its easy enough to rhyme words but hard to make it into a decent song. That's just my take though.

[@od_static]

Also possibly a subjective statement. She said before that she isnt confident in her singing yet, so rapping is easier for her

Random factoid: A common term for that massive juxtaposition between the cute anime girl aesthetic with the up-beat background against the morbid themes of the actual lyrics is "gap moe". "Moe" being Japanese and roughly translating to "cute". The meaning being that precisely because of the massive "gap" between what you get and how it is delivered, that's what makes it even more attractive.

[@h3lblad3]

Should probably point out to him that "moe" is pronounce "mo-ay" or something. Like, the E is an A sound and there are two syllables. He ran into it last time and wasn't sure how to pronounce it, so he pronounced it like the English name Moe.

Lol, so “Mori” has been an underground rapper for years. She only recently took on the stage name and is working in a company. You could tell by her older stuff she was heavily influenced by people like snoop and Eminem and was a lot more raunchy. People comparing it to the Gorrilaz are pretty on the money, working in the confines of a character can be restricting but can also force you to be more creative in your writing Vtubers are basically improve artist, they play a character that is just an exaggerated form of themselves. Works on the same level of the attachment to a fictional character while being as genuinely they can be without breaking the illusion. They use facial tracking software for the 2D avatar to mimic them on screen while they play games, sing, draw etc.

That's not true. The Gorillaz is a rock band, vtubers are people that use a 3d model to hide themselves while livestreaming or just in general, they are virtual.

[@foxywebb7384]

@@ohhhh technically, it is always livestream cause the character is real time recorded and captured into a video format, Gorillaz aren't real time recorded, they were motion captured and animated into a video format. That's why they look so much better in terms of movement, vtuber models don't have 100% realistic animation to it because it isn't animated, it's recorded and transferred directly through the software to make it into virtual movements so no. It's not pretty accurate. Some would argue mo-cap is the same technology but it isn't cause it transfers it to a computer which then proceeds to animate it, not in real time of course..

I would suggest "Cursed Night" or "Live Again" from Calli they are more on the singy side but are both good

[@TheUltimateShade667]

Live again is my favourite of hers. Though I have to admit the chorus for dead beats is quite the ear worm.

[@megasecptile3996]

I personally like Cursed Song over the others since it gives us a little insight on her "problems," per se, while also showing that people can convey emotions through music and not have it all be about money, drugs, women, death or anything artists talk about nowadays. She's sort of like Shizzy in a sense. Sure Shizzy hits harder but that doesn't mean Cursed Night won't. Idk, I wrote too much

[@Daikurobaraokami]

one thing is to be noted of her bubbly flow, she is an idol above all else. like, she was hired by hololive for her skills, but her actual job tittle is "idol" more than "rapper", that's why she encourages remixes of her songs and showcase em in her streams. edit: i should say "recruited" rather than "hired" since hololive is more of a management company, and every girl has a certain level of freedom on their content. 20+ girls doing shenanigans on the internet , all capable of singing and dancing while portraying the "pure girl" image. how they portray that its their choice, from a rabbit with weird laughter to Mori who's a "death reaper apprentice" that decided to slay people with her lyrics, and even a dragon girl that loves to say "m*th*rf*ck*rs"

[@Daikurobaraokami]

ah, also, shes still amazing live. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5XFq2eCpMx5mLs

[@ghosty918]

She was actually hired, while some were actively sought out Mori applied for the role

[@Daikurobaraokami]

I wanted to avoid mentioning "hired" because I'm not 100% sure how hololive works as a company. In the simplest of way, the girls create content and the company cashes in on a percentage used for promo and events to further develop the company. But given how things look, the girls are the ones bringing in the numbers by theirs own content, maybe given certain paths and instructions as to what to do and not to do to not hinder with each other's content. So on that perspective, Hololive other than providing the avatars what does is cash in, promo and HR management? Again, not sure how the operate, thus avoided the "hired" side of things. I personality think Mori is an awesome content creator with or without hololive.

[@MugenHeadNinja]

Actually, Mori was rapping before she became an idol, so sure, her job atm is being an idol, be she was a rapping first and will likely still make music after she retires from being an idol.

[@Dfso200x]

i want this at the top comment. this kinda explains the "bubbly" part, since is part of the theme around them. Want it or not, Hololive would keep their idols looking nice (that is why you wouldn't hear a full on diss track from her, at least not one that is not an inside joke for fans or something similar). Also, she also raps pretty well when working outside Hololive, but that is basically a different artist

[@CrescentSickle]

You asked about her being a "program" or something, but not quite. Virtual KZbinr was a term that got coined around Kizuna Ai, a mo-capped 3D avatar voiced by an actual person (and then multiple people later). The concept of Kizuna Ai - the character that is - is that she was an AI that was broadcasting on KZbin. This wasn't actual deceit, just a character story for viewers to buy into if they wanted. Now pretty much any KZbinr that has a stand-in avatar (3D model or 2D art or otherwise, with some neat 2.5D rigging having come out in recent years) is considered a vtuber, and many - though definitely not all - also play as characters with their own backstory for viewers to buy into. Everyone knows they're not actually those characters, but it's a great cross between a genuinely entertaining content creator and interacting with a fun fantasy character at the same time. A lot of the avatars of the most popular vtubers are in the Japanese anime art style, but that's because most of the most popular vtubers on the platform are either from Japan or are tied to agencies from Japan, such as Hololive. Quick aside about idol culture though, since that's also important context re: Hololive. "Idols" extend beyond just people that have a ton of fans for their music, at least in Japan and Korea. It also extends to a kind of "pure" perspective, where the idol is cute and innocent and wholesome and heart-warming, and they don't have any issues or problems that otherwise plague the rest of the world. This can and has caused a lot of toxic culture around idols as well, since a lot of fans can get really creepy and fucked up about it, and even harass their favorite idols because they found out that she had a boyfriend or something. Hololive as a company is trying to take the best parts of the idol culture (i.e. cute girls doing cute things that are really heart-warming to watch, as well as music, typically J-Pop and other culturally popular songs) with virtual youtubers to result in "virtual idols". It's a lot easier for the idols if that toxic culture forms, because they have a degree of anonymity and don't have to be in physical proximity to shitty fans like during concerts and the like. What Hololive and these other agencies have learned is that people like it best when these "idols" just drop the act and are just themselves. They still have their character backstories they play into, of course, but they're still actual people and can cut loose, laugh at dumb jokes, and shitpost with the rest of us.

This includes her being up for 36 hours between streams and working on music. She has also said on stream that the last part is kind of a look at the inside of her head when she streams or writes. Definitely suggest you hear Cursed Night. She doesn't go nearly as hard, but it's heavy lyrically and an amazing track in my opinion. As a side note, her 4 song EP went #1 worldwide on itunes charts. Make of that what you will. I tend not to follow charts very much, but I thought it was interesting.

Dead Beats, this one - The fast pace meme-y song. Reaper Ka Rapper - This one is more like an introductory rap, even the beat is more beatboxed. It’s mainly for fun, not serious. Live Again - Kinda like a love song and like her theme song, a lot different from the first two. Cursed Night - A more emotional, serious song. One for like getting stuff off your chest, I really like this one. Demondice is actually Calli before she was a VTuber, she’s not able to shout out her old channel due to her new persona, but she did music here as well, as well as actual animations. If you wanna see her old stuff, Alkatraz - a fully animated and rapped about a story of three inmates of Alkatraz prison with some creative liberties.

V-tubers are actual people who do YT content (but mainly livestreaming games, events, occasionally releasing songs) behind 2D avatars. Since they don't want to show their faces, they use a 2D body that tracks their face movements or body movements. The program mainly used for 2D live avatars is called Live2D.

funfact! mori's Voice is DemonDice, who already has many many songs since some years now! she's really good!!!

[@trstmeimadctr]

I think what she meant by 'rap is easy. making music is hard' is that it is easy to rhyme words together, but it is hard to make it flow and mesh with the beat perfectly

[@ryanhall5360]

Pop on Rocks by HoloBass next please!

[@torque244]

I’m loving the vibes you put out at the start of each of your videos. You’re just havin’ fun and I’m here for it. Thank you for being you.

8:15 I'm glad you found this video Scru because that line was better than just "throwing shade"

[@Tick-vq1fn]

React to Level 0 by DaddyPhatSnaps next.

[@DiscreetHobo]

That line "on demand homicidal circus" at 4:54 gave me a stank face too. Like that line was super stank. The amount of clear syllables at that speed is insane

[@steamworkfox4564]

OH GOD ITS SPREADING!!! S I M P ! XD That's what I am anyways, not sure bout scruface yet

[@l3nsman]

To explain how the whole vtuber thing works: There is an animated "2D" anime avatar rigged via a program called "Live 2D" to react to the real person's movements and mouth speech. The avatar can change expressions (sad, happy, angry etc.) via a number of keyboard shortcuts.

You gotta react to the Calliope Mori remix with Nonelikejoshua bro, it slaps hard

[@guy3480]

ive watched this vid so many times just because nobody else fully appreciated how complex those rhymes were

[@Contsted_x]

Welcome to the rabbit whole the infinite whole of void,darkness,happiness and simping all at the same time

[@munemori1755]

I simply love especially this one, because you can literally see how he falls down the rabbit hole. The moment she started rapping he jumped head first in... Welocme in the rabbit hole I guess! :D

[@noghaltz16]

Please do react to Pop on Rocks by Amelia Watson. She's from the same group as Calliope

[@breannbrum9882]

Her cheerleader-y attitude you mention is actually part of who she is. :) I love this girl

[@josephcarvil9474]

Fire! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Gumbus556]

I like how you break it down instead of going ...yo this shit hard, keep up the work bro.

[@wilsonwong8176]

God I love her, but this guy is cool too. He's respectable, he's not someone who's gangy or like heavy on the swear words. Well spoken guy

[@ryanbui2046]

He’s good with his words and doesn’t immediately throw out sentences without though, I respect that

[@oreore949]

Calliope's entire Dead Beats EP is really good. She's also released a single called 'Cursed Night', which is one of her best.

[@PBRatLord]

Watch her rap Godzilla, she can go fast af as well as rap clean, it's so fuckin wild coming from that avatar lmao. If you want a great combo of a good laugh and a bunch more anime rap, check out MC Virgins, hilarious dudes and drop bars to take it even further

[@erijonqollaku18]

*Jean is one of my favorite KZbinrs/Reacters* Me : Sees im not Subscribed Also me : * Intense Confusion *

[@NJCRiddickNJC]

[@TheBarbariangamers]

It's funny seeing someone who isn't in the vtuber scene try and explain vtubers. Love it lol
