Please react to BTS leader RM's new song 'Still Life' feat Anderson Paak which released today, it's beautiful💜🔥🔥 Also react to his 'Wildflower' MV, which is also awesome! His new solo album INDIGO dropped this Friday, it's can't miss!

[@Toto-yj8hc]

Thought you should know that the first spy family opening is the same band that you watched a couple days ago from the tokyo revengers opening

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@nash3112 It goes up in 30 mins! Thanks for the suggestion. I had fun doing it

[@luffyvoldigo9273]

Please do the opening and ending of OVERLORD NEXT

[@MrValvoja]

If I wanted to nail the vibe differences between openings 1 and 2 in their contexts, 1 is "Spy" and 2 is "Family". We get a ton of classic jazzy, big band heist elements in the first opening to establish the father's career as a covert agent trying to build a false family to suit their persona as an honest, reliable doctor. With season 2 we then transition into him slowly becoming a family man with genuine attachment to his ditzy fake wife and oblivious peanut-loving daughter. S2's opening just fills me with this feeling of nostalgia for a time that I never actually experienced even in its relative simplicity.

[@purpleponteran2805]

Hey, don't know if you'll see this comment but I just wanted to say that I don't normally listen to anything with headphones too often (just b/c of the hassle of them). But when your videos come out, I make it a point to plug myself in so I can hear all the layers you mention during your breakdowns. Definitely gives me an appreciation for these songs that I didn't have before! Keep it up!

Bump of Chicken is a great band. They also have an OP and ED for march comes in like a lion (Answer, Fighter) and an OP for kekkai sensen (Hello world). a couple other great songs by them are Gravity, and Acacia. I'd love to hear you listen to any of these

[@HugeFrigginGuy]

Absolutely am more of a fan of OP1 myself, but they are both great. In the first half of the season it's a lot of chaos as 3 disparate individuals are forced together through unlikely circumstances to make a family unit. In the 2nd half you still have chaos, but they are finding their groove and rhythm as a family. The two OPs definitely reflect the shift. It's a very cute, and sweet show btw, an easy recommend especially if you need something light hearted to chill out with.

I love your videos !! It made me appreciate openings in a deeper way ! I now learned many words in the musical vocabulary and the way songs are made ❤ keep up

I love your channel! I’ve been listening to Japanese music for decades. It started with anime opening and endings and it progressed to seeking out the artists involved with anime music other work. My current favorite band of all time is Asian Kung-fu Generation (openings for Naruto, Shippuden, Bleach, FMA, and a bunch of other shows). Your breakdowns are helping rediscover my favorite music and growing my appreciation for their talents! Truly a gift, and it means a lot to me. Keep up the good work!

[@shinichi4476]

Hige dandism and Bump of chickens are my two favourite J bands, so it was a real treat to have them for the ops of Spy x Family. I’m glad to finally have you react to them !

If you're ever looking for a pure Jazz OP than you should check out Great Pretender OP/Main Theme. If you want to hear from the Japanese King of love songs than check out Love is war OP1-3.

[@cabbage_cat]

Official Hige Dandism has been active since 2012 but begin to gain popularity overseas since signing a record deal with major label, skyrocketed in 2019 and ended up in the Japan Hot 100 Billboard (that's how I know the band) While BUMP OF CHICKEN has been working on various anime, games, TV shows, but I think the most famous works came from their collaboration with various products in advertisement projects. I hear them a lot in TV ad breaks or ads in general.

[@silvrash8349]

I love both Openings a lot but i would say i prefer op 2 a bit more since Bump of Chicken is one of my favourite bands. On a side note, would be awesome if you could check out some of the songs from the anime "Bocchi the Rock", definitely one of the contenders for best anime of the season alongside Chainsaw man in my opinion.

[@kikiwi9227]

I'm so happy that you reacted to these songs!!! BUMP OF CHICKEN is my favourite band ever and it's true that their song was simple compared to Official HIGE DANdism's song, they most of the time have quite a simplistic characteristic to their songs with some exceptions such as Hello, Word and Gekkou (although I don't know a lot about music soooo maybe you can be the judge of that?). I understand why you would give all your points to Mixed Nuts but I have to amiably disagree :p I hope that you can react to some other songs by BUMP OF CHICKEN, mainly Hello World, Gekkou, Gravity, Acacia and Nanairo??

[@violetskydiver7684]

You should really review a few of YOASOBI's songs. They have a couple dozen songs and most have pretty different and unique vibes to them which I bet would make reacting to them really fun!

[@faithshelton1450]

The same artist for this song also sang “Cry Baby” which is an opening for Tokyo Revengers. It’s one of my top favorite Japanese songs. I hope you check it out cause it’s unique in my opinion.

[@Charlottlette]

So joyful to hear these songs appreciated in their entirety! 💕💕💕💕

[@vanjansampath5753]

Both the opening represent different things in my perspective First opening is all fusion and mixed up coz the opening is from the perspective of the daughter of the family(Anya). As a child with wild imagination ( you can see the wild and wacky cartoonish stuff happening in the opening) this is how Anya sees the world always hyped about the cool detective cartoons she watches and imagines her life being a part of it (now that it is a part of it). The 2nd opening is tame and straight forward cause it's from the perspective of the father of the family (Loid). He's a spy with two lives and in this opening you can see both anya the daughter and yor the wife going on with their lives ( it's to be assumed we are seeing them with loid's perspective), what he wants is to keep up the normal family appearances whilst also working towards the peace of the nation. The song's name "souvenir" and the lyrics itself hint at the possibility of change in heart of Loid after meeting his family like it's an gift for someone who grew up alone.

[@-redz00]

I remember listening to Bump of chicken for the first time in song called 'Gotcha' pokemon collab music video.The song is okay but man that music video for that is something else. I check their other collab like ad and anime op/ed mv and from that moment on i see Bump of chicken as a visual art based band.Souvenir music video in particular are so good especially the second chorus so if you have time go check it out.

[@ndhdysu5933]

[@spyrosgkoumas5339]

Honestly the second ending to me represents the ideal afternoon after work with your roomates/partner family. You get back you make a nice dinner together, you talk about your day, whether it is laughing about the silly stuff or venting for the annoying stuff it sharing always makes you feel better, enjoying the dinner with some light alcohol and then dosing off while in the comfort of each other’s presence

Next we need Ranking of Kings OPs 1 and 2 full! 🙏🙏🙏

[@Naruto1341]

What do you think about the nature of the Japanese language being about to fit more musical options? I have observed that due to the syllables they can fit the lyrics to the instruments. Also, each word ends in vowel sounds, making it easier to rhyme. I was only able to observe this by listening to English covers of songs.

[@SkitsyCat]

I'm just a random commenter, not some lyrical expert either, but I have to agree. I think the Japanese language is just hits the right mix of smooth and syllabic, so it really helps and adds to the melody of most music. I've heard some Chinese songs (I'm half Chinese, so my mom puts on some Teresa Teng for gramma sometimes) and I just find Chinese syllables so grating sometimes 😅 (Though Teresa Teng is a lovely singer in both languages, my ears just prefer her Japanese versions better) In a similar vein, Korean feels better than Chinese, though I do still feel some chokes to the melody sometimes on syllables that end in hard consonant sounds. Again, this is just what I think from the stuff I've experienced.

[@turtleme4811]

@@SkitsyCati really have to agree with you on that Chinese being grating lol

[@にゃんちゅう-f3h]

Official Hige dandyism, who sang op1, is good at making songs that match the worldview of the work.✨ In Japan, their new song "Subtitle", the theme song for a drama about a deaf man and woman, is a big hit. I would love for you to listen to that as well♪

[@pariahfnm3365]

Opening 1 is the same band (Official Hige Dandism) as the one that did Crybaby from Tokyo Revengers

[@VexVeilian07]

Bruh mixed nuts is a masterpiece imo

[@nihongotheo4808]

"That's nuts" perfect expression here

[@miitei]

Some, a little bit of context, this anime is about an undercover spy having the mission to create a fake family to get to investigate someone that's trying to get to nations on war again. First part (op 1) it kind of presents all the cool stuff the spy does, it's more focus on the mission, part 2 (op 2) it's when the fake family is not that fake anymore and it's more chill with the story even, not so much spy missions and more family things. So I think that also explains the vibe change on the 2 openings. Great analysis, I do appreciate your comments, I get to know more things about music, even if just a little!

[@MPG2014]

Both great songs. You should do the actual music videos for the bands since it makes it more enjoyable to watch

[@mlm5150]

Also if you are looking for a Jam of an ending song, Check out Lost in Paradise by Ali. It's the ending to Jujutsu Kaisen. Super fun, jazzy fusion mixed with Hip Hop. That year, Ali won Anime ending song of the year as well as Best anime opening of the year with Wild Side from Beaststars

[@jameshanus3813]

Yeah Official HIGE DANdism is a great band tbh

I liked the opening here more mainly because of the straight ahead jazz section. They were playing really well. But I can still hear the music on my head for the other one so that says something. Overall I think the band is really good

[@tomassoejakto]

I'm no musician but I adore music with strong percussions and mood that just 'takes you away'. Between the 2 openings, Mixed Nuts is still my favorite by far; it just goes up and up and up, while Souvenir has this strange way of holding itself back while I thought it was going to go up... but Souvenir is still so fun and groovy nonetheless.

[@MrDoogels]

Bump of Chicken is definitely one of the greats. Check out Hello, World, it was the opening for the anime Blood Blockade Battlefront and it slaps!
