CALLIOPE RETURNS! | 【ORIGINAL SONG MV】「Q」- Calliope Mori x Gawr Gura x DECO*27 (REACTION)

[@DenjaX]

The funny thing about this, Gura does not even speak Japanese. She was probably just practicing the syllables to record this song. xDD

[@HAMEL31]

jjajajaaajajaj true

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Ooo

[@Malfuntion89]

She can speak japanese but its not fluent

[@Fordrake21]

she might not be good at mathematics, but lil' sharky sure is smart and very talented

[@AzureIV]

Gura can speak Japanese, she just isn't fluent.

[@zebrion5793]

Gawr Gura is... an experience. She doesn't even speak Japanese, but can sing it near perfectly. She's a Vtuber in the same crew as Calli, but she's been around for a LONG time before that as a different persona. She hit 1M subs on his first channel before even becoming a Vtuber idol. She's basically an old school nerd/shitposter that is VERY in tune with internet culture. Last I checked, she had the fastest growing YT channel EVER. Hololive is a huge rabbit hole of content that you never really get out of once you start down that path. Choose wisely.

[@saeukanoch.8166]

[@smashbounduk3241]

"His" lol

[@bkaneshiro14]

Gawr Gura: Insanely talented at streaming, singing, rhythm games, etc. also gawr gura, with full confidence in herself: "5 times 5 is what? 5 times five is 35!"

[@marvlouslie2053]

Gura's one of us. She's a former Channer, so she is very much "Our" girl.

[@tehrickles1447]

It's dangerous to free time, there's so much and its produced at such a rapid rate it's near impossible to keep track of.

[@guy3480]

Calli really does make music in a difficult niche. I can understand a lot of the skepticism from sfj because its a brutal blending of genres. For me personally im captivated by how unfamiliar the beats and poetic bars are. There is a ton of really good hiphop and rap that is faithful to the genre's roots so its nice to have a few artists out there always making something wild. Calli is still a young aritst tho and i think after more experiments and refining she could carve a path for this subgenre to get really big.

[@flux_casey]

Mm. I've watched all of his reactions to Calli's stuff and the amount of times he's gone "I want her to rap over a trap beat". I mean, for one thing, she has, though she was a bit more hellish when she did it. But for another, isn't that a little boring? "Hey, this new and weird stuff you're doing is fine but I'd like it better if you did what everyone else in the game has been doing for the past decade or so." Respect to Scru for knowing what he likes, can't fault him for that. But I'd rather give it up for people trying new and novel ideas than something I could get from hundreds of other artists. Then again, just like Scru isn't big on the... "Kpop" sound, I'm really not a fan of trap beats. So maybe my desire for *literally anything else* makes me a little biased too. =P

[@1sb3rg34]

@@flux_casey i think it's jus he wants her to continue rapping like she does on demondice

[@failurextreme7084]

Their english cover of King is pretty fucking tough. Especially since Calli did a lot of the lyrics herself.

[@hybrid22003]

Their version of King fit really well with this song.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Yeah, that cover was great

[@tonypeppermint5329]

@@andrewpappas9311 Oh yeah. Just how they both got their own parts and the absolutely great ending of both them giving each other praise.

[@Flomen01]

"A lot of" meaning some filler text in the intro motif. The entire song is the same lyrics aside from that part.

[@Ravenleaf182]

yeah, but it only hits how epic it is if you know the original/how others did the cover. It's knowing that, that makes calli/gura's version so unique

[@panbosin]

DECO*27 is a vocaloid music producer w/ 10+ years experience, and there are seldom people don't know him in old ACG culture. Q is a great cooperation between traditional vocaloid and new vtuber culture, it's absolutely a first step to inspire more probability of Japanese music. Also, the animation is insane, shout out to Kay Yu, he took efforts on it very very much.

[@RuriGokouMadoMura]

Kay Yu's a she, but yeah, the animation's insane

[@theruder9]

Kureiji Ollie, an Indonesian member of hololive, released a rap song with Avilon, called 'Speed'. She rapped it in English, and then it was all edited together by Avilon. its probably a lot more in line with the style you like, would be great if you checked it out. (I believe Ollie wrote the lyrics as well.)

[@hiiragihasmanywaifu]

Yeah ollie's Speed!

[@WoeUponThee]

She also has a couple covers with original added rap lyrics.

[@erikzcp7301]

That one is a banger.

[@cylith5627]

People need to calm down on the Demondice mentions. Dice was open about it in her stream this week. SHE can't talk about it, but doesn't matter a lot if WE as fans do, within reason. And only someone who is seemingly deaf could NOT listen and hear the IDENTICAL voices.

[@andrewpappas9311]

After catching one of Demon's streams I do hear it in her original music, but Calli or not you can't deny that she definitely has some fucking killer bars

[@cylith5627]

@@andrewpappas9311 I never did deny her skill. Hazy Skyscraper is still one of my all time favorites of hers. And now with the skill she has built up, and connections, as Calli, Dice is even better for it.

[@andrewpappas9311]

@@cylith5627 Yeah, true

[@gorosaki1287]

fully agree

[@aghawkz]

@@zeanomourph1 In fairness, Scru never directly referred to Calli as Demondice, or vice versa, and I don't even think he mentioned the name 'Calli' in his Demondice reactions, just kinda insinuated like others have been doing. I do think it's unfortunate that he seems to *think* of them both as the same exact person, -- and while obviously that is technically true, one is a lot more of a character/avatar with a specific image she has to keep, whereas the other is much more loose and free to experiment -- so every time he hears Calli/Demondice's music, he compares the collective rather than the individual characters/personas. Just wanted to point out that he does at least seem to acknowledge the two characters' separation verbally most of the time, even if he gets a little ahead of himself and sees them as one person behind the screen/music, lol.

[@PogMcDog]

What I took away from this song is that the Stans have been a bit zealous recently. Don't bite the hand that feeds you( gives you content) when it's holding a knife (you'll get instabanned) guess you better gimme your life (basically gtfo). And Calli+Gura then joining hands in kicking the ass of the glowing red eyed deadbeats and shrimps. Pretty rudamentary analysis but it's what I got from it, also Gura looking like she came straight out of Skullgirls.

[@soulreaver6546]

Especially since for some reason their fanbases are the most toxic, the whole donating thing that lead to that stuff that happened on Twitter with calli, and gura's fans are just so entitled 99% of the time

[@karactr8361]

They are Bone Bros for a reason.

[@Sleepish_]

The way I interperated those same lines was actually the reverse :o Like a satirical look at their toxic fans' way of thinking. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you (gives you donations) when it's holding a knife (they'll try to make your life miserable) guess you better gimme your life (basically "you owe us everything"). Something like that ig.

[@redgeoblaze3752]

Maybe the fact that it's Calli vs Gura contributes to this message. in Hololive, they're numbers 1 and 2 in terms of sub numbers, but the only ones who really care about that are a minority of fans.

[@Eviltwin1]

Yeah, Gura also has a song titled Reflect. It does have subtitles and even some English in it (Still primarily Japanese tho). Its a banger and i would love to see ur reaction to it

[@Wanderer_of_Sol]

Gawr Gura, like gargoyle with a mouth full of water. Jean, you don't even know how close you are. Her character's a shark/girl from Atlantis who wanted to see what life was like outside of the ocean. Apparently "Gawr" is the japanese version of a growling or roaring sound, which fits her because she's a vicious little shark.

[@Fanimati0n]

The Apex Predator

[@joppa560]

@@Fanimati0n hydrodynamic even

[@Jmeon4eva]

Ina found that out in Minecraft

[@KagekiriToriko]

And regarding the "Gawr" part of her name, the pronunciation of it is a lot easier than people think and I wish more people would try that. For anyone curious, the proper pronunciation is "Gao" like you hear from Gura at the start of the song after Calli's bit. And before anyone hits the "mUh gRaMmEr nAzI" card, it was just an observation and addition to the original comment

[@blackfirehedgehog7725]

Calli has stated that this song was more for fun and didn't have much meaning, for what it's worth. But Calli being Calli, she still goes for all the rhymes lol. Definitely suits my taste in music, but I get it's not for everyone. I just realized I still haven't looked up the translated lyrics, I'll have to look for that. The "mouthful of water" comment is amusing to me because Gura's "lore" is basically her being an Atlantean shark girl. She hasn't made much music thus far (Reflect being her first original), but she's got an amazing singing voice.

[@MysteriumArcanum]

Given all the crap Calli's been going through lately with trolls and antis I wouldn't be surprised if some of the lines reflected that, especially "don't bite the hand that feeds you if it's holding a knife"

[@Souls4Roca]

well, she has some really amazing covers from the karaoke

[@MoralTruth]

“Whoever did the captions probably just gave up” 💀 Love your reactions on Calli’s stuff as always!

Was given the comparison on twitter, but Calli and Gura's design is inspired by Devil May Cry, Calli being Virgil and Gura of course Dante, cuz Gura loves Dante

[@sithis-kfp7804]

Been loving the reactions Scru. Gura has a cool song called Reflect, but it's more poppish than anything. Great lyrics and story tho. Calliope did one with Boogey Voxx along with that Halloween song awhile back called Crown that I really like.

[@saniharuo]

RIGHT

[@dudebroguyman]

I believe he did a reaction to that one with Voxx a while back.

[@Aederex]

Just so you know, DECO*27 (pronounced Deco niina) is one of the biggest names in Vocaloid music. His songs generally get millions of views on their own and are almost inevitably covered by tons of Vtubers, and he's done several other original songs for Hololive members. The animation was done by Kay Yu, who's a fairly high profile animator. He's worked on some big name anime the in the last few years, and happens to be a fan of Calli.

[@KagekiriToriko]

He also made the Hololive fan game Holocure: Save the Fans. Hence why the deadbeat and chumbud enemies share the same design as the fan bases here

[@natanaello7017]

I recommend you to react to REFLECT by Gawr Gura its pretty sick song with fair amount of rap and have captions

[@giorgibujiashvili3942]

the thing with closed caption is that there are 3 types, the ones that are bascially empty and have nothing in them, the automatically generated captions that are made by a bot and there the type that are written by the actual youtuber. this time it was the first one but it's worth checking the captions because some DO have REALLY well done captions

[@teo8446]

You missed it because it wasnt on her Main channel but Calli had another song with Boogey Voxx that i think deserves a lyrical analysis Crown by Boogey Voxx ft. Calliope Mori

[@YourKurohime]

Attempt seven to say react to Gawr Gura- Reflect. There's a whole story in it. You always talk about the duality of rapping both the character and the real ish. Gura just makes it a little more literal.

[@asmariamoon]

The fight between Gura and Calli definitely gave me Spike vs. Vicious vibes as well. What makes it better is that they confirmed it takes place in an alternate universe where they're both high-level Mafia members. Big Ups to Kay Yu and Riguruma, they did an amazing job animating this.

[@chibbersthesquirrel6189]

I'm sure someone probably mentioned it already but I don't think anybody typed those captions. It probably had no subtitles and that's just KZbin's attempt at an auto-translate.

[@markden.8272]

Love your reaction!! BTW Gura has a really cool song called reflect that's got pretty deep lyrics.

[@GrimOfLight]

Yona Yona Journey by Calliope Mori It's amazing, waiting your reaction

[@krystallinekris]

If you want more Gura, check out her first Original, Reflect. She raps a little in that one, too, and it's a song nobody expected from her for her first song in Hololive.

[@theultimatescrub7519]

I know I’m not the first but if you want to see more of Gura I really recommend Reflect. I would love to see your reaction to one of my favorite songs they made

[@ItsKagiVids]

If you're confused about the shrimps that's what Grua's fan base is called.

[@R3_dacted0]

There's no official captions for this song yet. You're using the "Auto-generated" ones, which is just Google trying it's hardest to understand what's going on. With how long they where producing this song for, I'm actually surprised there wasn't any official subs (or rather, I'm surprised that English subs haven't been added _yet_) Also, Gura actually only speaks English. She just likes to sing in other languages despite not understanding them lol.

[@Vasharan]

The animated sequences were all drawn by one guy. Hats off to Kay Yu for this outstanding work!

[@ShinyMew888]

I was so hyped to see Mori, Gura, and Deco*27 drop a collab Always appreciate Scru's reactiona to this sort of stuff

[@KishyTheFishy52]

Just want to make sure you know who Gura is. Gawr Gura is also a part of Hololive English same as Calli. Gura is one of the best singers in Hololive. Gura is also has the most Subscribed VTuber on the internet she is so popular she is so big. Gura songs are also great like REFLECT but Gura doesn’t constantly make song covers but you get see her singing talent and vocal range during her Karaoke Streams. In my opinion Gura and Calli have one of the best duo’s they relate to each other and Gura is such a troll and memelord. She has a big history when it comes to the internet same like Calli. I kind of do wish Gura was singing English instead of Japanese though

[@danielparnell117]

[@jeremygeller9145]

Kinda surprised you reacted to this, I like the song but this is more idol-ly and less heavy on the rap

[@BlackHayateTheThird]

K-pop is Korean pop- J-Pop would be more appropriate to call it, which is Japanese pop and definitely strongly takes on the music genre, and most anime openings use J-pop. Love your musical analyses! You have such great insight- wish there were better subtitles for you so you could've broken down the Japanese lyrics from your perspective too.

The term you're looking for with the Gura stuff is Jpop. Which was inspired by heavily by American 90's boy/girl band pop. It sounds a lot like Kpop because it also went on to inspire Kpop and other similar asian music cultures.
