Hakos Baelz of HOLOLIVE (Play Dice, Psycho, RxRxR)/ BBJ Reacts

JDON MY SOUL 🎲

[@xxeed1608]

Her album zodiac is a treasure chest. Forgot to say pandaemonium too but like literally every song from her is a banger.

[@trentberrie6129]

"YOLO is my ninja way."

[@mapotofu1427]

Bae's main skill is dancing that don't really shows up outside of 3D videos/lives. So I hope you can get to see more of that sometime or in the concert, since home motion capture can't fully capture her movements. Hope you enjoy your time!

[@Earliersphere]

her and Kiara are truly meant to be on stage and in 3D, they're full package performers.

[@KluhTheBarbarian]

If you want to see a completely different side of Bae, I strongly recommend you listen to her cover of "A Million Miles Away" from the Belle movie. In my honest opinion, her best cover of all and mayhaps even better than the original.

[@SteelPokeNinja]

In a similar vein, I also highly recommend EIEN, as it truly blew me away the first time I listened to it.

[@benedict_tamago]

Or Blooming in the Mud cover alongside Towa

[@tkb1467]

Nah nothing beats the original, Kaho Nakamura voice is just beautiful

[@leydong]

I personally love La Roja and Gekiren in the latest album. Psycho is my top still tho, the growl esk type vocals hits me like a truck

[@Bentonomikon]

The Duality of Bae is what is crazy. This was all her hyper fast and fun songs. She can sing emotionally and tug at your heartstrings as well. Akatsuki no Yona is so good and A Million Miles Away and Blooming in the Mud with towa had me nearly in tears. She is EN's master of genres and I daresay even Hololive as a whole. Watame might be the close second.

[@UmiSuzuko]

I know you don't have enough time for this but one of the guess for the concert is suisei, she's one of the best singer in hololive and also the first vtuber to perform on "THE FIRST TAKE". her latest mv hit 77m as of this comment.

[@BLUE_Edition]

Bae's very good at dancing. I highly recommend you watch her 3D live or the KDA performance (riot event). Take your time. There's so much more in this rabbit hole.(hololive EN/ID/JP) Enjoy! :D

[@Shaehl]

Just fyi the karaoke clips you watched from a stream where she was mostly playing around/dancing rather than focusing on singing.

[@mafukas1432]

would really like you to do Bae's 3d concert reaction as Bae is also famous for her dance skills

[@Bobbias]

Fun bit of wordplay in the lyrics for play dice. There's a line "we don't give a chu" (and plenty of others). Chu is the japanese onomatopoeia for a kiss, but chuu-chuu is also the onomatopoeia for a mouse/rat's squeeks.

[@Karanthaneos]

Hence the name of Pikachu. Chu from the mouse noise, and pika from the onomatopoeia for electric sparks

[@aznravechild6i9]

JDON MY SOUL!

[@luckyshark32]

At debut Bae was initially presented... Upside down. Her lore says she's a universal embodiment of chaos. Also I'm surprised I havent seen people mention the multiple KDA covers by various groups of talents that have popped up. Including one that was led by Bae.

[@mrmxypltk]

Hell, she was part of the group who did K/DA covers at an official Riot One event! And also realized that K/DA stands for Kills Deaths Assists a few days after that while streaming a game. She's a bit of a zoomer sometimes.

[@Bobbias]

Fun fact, Psycho was written with Tom-H@ck who wrote the first K-On opening song, and is a member of Myth & Roid, who did a bunch of songs for Overlord. The lyrics were written by ZAQ, who has written/arranged/sung music for "Classroom of the Elite", "Love, Chuuninyou & Other Delusions", "Non Non Biyori", "Sound Euphonium" and others. She also oversaw the vocal recording too, meaning she was directing/recording Bae in the studio. If you're not familiar with her ZAQ is a seriously great singer and songwriter in her own right.

[@92berlinthunder]

funny that you mention bae chaotic in play dice because lorewise she is the Avatar of Chaos^^

[@aizo4321]

Bae went crazy on psycho at the connect the world concert. I think you can still find a live recording from that time. It was so intense when I was there.

[@shrimplynaive]

Her Psycho performance was around 1:20:30 of the free preview. Unfortunately all her clips of her first solo performance of "God-ish" at Holofes was wiped out; however I found a fan dance cover of her routine at: "[God-ish - PinocchioP] Hakos Baelz Choreo Cover" Bae created her own choreo of both performances!

[@phiefer3]

It's kind of funny that you say near the start that you're not worried about any of the music being bad as long as it's not like the abc's or something on your video checking Bae out. Because Bae does have a habbit of singing The Wheels On The Bus on her karaoke streams because she thinks it's funny.

[@TheNewbStyle]

oh hey, it's my Oshi (well one of them) :D Nice reaction vid bro 👍

[@redemption2]

Bae is easily my oshi in EN. She has really entertaining variety content. She speaks 3 languages. She does dance choreo. She sings and raps. I would Tnolize this rat.

[@ThiagoABarbosa]

Besides annoying her... she can very well make you a sleeping pill (She has a degree in pharmacology).

[@epicblue26]

You have to see her 3d concert, her dancing is amazing

[@abellinns4013]

Bae was part of the group that sing KDA songs in a Valorant championship, watch they 3D performance latter.

[@arkimana]

my favorite singer of council here.

[@sya2711]

also talking about seoyung ?( pardon my spelling idk how you write it) from (g)idle , the holo girls did a cover of 2 kda songs iirc. def recommend watching those aswell. beu did do the rap part in those xD

[@dragonbretheren]

Each of the members of Council/Promise representing abstract concepts: IRyS = Avatar of Hope Sana = Speaker of Space Fauna = Keeper of Nature Kronii = Warden of Time Mumei = Guardian of Civilization Bae = Avatar of Chaos Ironically, despite being Chaos Incarnate, Bae is the least chaotic member of Council/Promise, often acting as the sole voice of reason or comedic straight-man to everyone else's antics. Talent-wise, Kiara mentioned that Bae has officially dethroned her as the dancer of HoloEN. That said, Bae is also HoloEN's resident Zoomer (having a very famous collab of Boomer vs Zoomer with Vesper Noir, the (now graduated) grandpa from Holostars (the boys' branch). Bae is also one of three (to my knowledge) members of Hololive English who reports also being fully fluent in Korean. The other two being Ina and Kronii. Iofi from Hololive Indonesia is also fluent in Korean (along with Indonesian, Japanese, English, and German)

[@Tan444]

you should have watched the riot one clip

[@reversecero9673]

Man you really need to check out Bae's cover of A Million Miles Away if you're looking for something more somber that really shows off how great of a singer she is!

[@IndonesianGaming]

i can recommend you to listen to Alice & u by ayunda risu, q&a=e by airani iofifteen, jollie jollie by kureiji ollie, hinotori by takanashi kiara, night sky by yozora mel (terminated o7), mantra hujan & oh asmara by kobo kanaeru, born to be a BAU dol by fuwamoco, cant wait to see your reaction, ❤️ from indonesia

[@sya2711]

i hope when you eventually get to the suisei one, you add the song `cinema` (3d live performance) with astel and izuru. that song is such a bop and has some dance moves with it. if not, can always react to it after the concert xD

[@NousagiBrat]

Should definitely watch her duet with Towa- Blooming in the Mud. both the 3D live and the MV

[@Larus_The_Lock]

Bae is top tier in my opinion

[@jupiter926]

You should see some musics of her 3D lives ( dancing and singing ) she's amazing

[@timewizardphil]

To my memory Bae actually isn't a trained vocalist and came to Hololive not fully confident in her voice. What she is, however, is a trained dancer. That stream all those clips you saw at the end was more of a silly dance stream as compared to her seriously trying to sing, but even that i feel doesn't tell the full story. Bae is the best dancer in Hololive. She shines her absolute most on the big stage during live shows, so you're in for a treat when its her turn sunday. Her performance at Hololive 5th Fes, the biggest live Hololive did in Japan this year, veered into interprative dance it was so involved. And while her singles tend to be hype and in your face, you are right in that she really can do it all. A lot of her covers are ballads and the songs in her EP and album cover a whole collection of styles. If you return to her after the show i recommend checking out her cover if Blooming in the Mud she did with Tokoyami Towa (a JP member who won't be there sunday, but is definitely worth getting to know) for some truly impressive vocals.

[@Warglein]

in bae's song is allways so much goinmg on at once

[@wild5065]

Bae is one of my favorite singers in Holo. BTW if you ever want to do "deep dives" for the members with a lot of music, I think it would be better to check out their YT Music pages. Because there are many original songs that don't have official MVs, so you won't find them on their channels. But I understand that you're in a rush now so you can do it later.

[@peternqvu]

I'm glad i'm watching this live. love it so much. Bae is mutitalented idol, she can rap, she can dance (in 3D) and especially she can sing her vocal range is insane.

[@matthewwilliams3579]

Bae is one of those that took a good while to get on her feet musically speaking, for most of her first year working she couldn't sing well, she couldn't dance well and she thought she wouldn't be able to do it. But out of all of all of the girls in her generation she worked harder and harder to become better. Until she found her "rhythm" and once she did she become one of the best out of all of the Hololive girls period it was an amazing growth. Another thing you will learn about Bae is she is also one of the most emotional girls too out of the bunch. JDON my soul!.

[@thelostone6099]

🙏

[@kylerqaz22]

Woah woah woah woah, what do you mean she couldnt dance well? Im pretty sure Bae has been a dancer for most of her life

[@Kimcirac]

@@kylerqaz22 I think he meant she couldn't sing well

[@matthewwilliams3579]

@@Kimcirac Sorry you're right I meant she couldn't sing well while dancing I just typed it up to quickly.

[@92berlinthunder]

The singing part true but the dancing part is wrong she always talks about how she loves dancing and to perform as K/DA was one of her greatest because she practice the K/DA dances when they were realeased way before her hololive time

[@K42U]

The Chaos herself!!!

[@Light4656]

Oh a fellow Soyeon enjoyer.

[@lareolanKFP]

After hearing these 3 songs, lister to her cover of A Million Miles Away. You'll get such whiplash you would wonder how many freight trains hit you! 🤣🤣 FYI, Bae loves KPop so much, she has actually been studying Korean (even had a few study streams), and she's pretty good at Korean already (not to mention near-fluent in Japanese and JDON).

[@bigbombjosh]

Yeahhh she is effin amazing

[@Korandon]

I wanna see your reaction to blooming in the mud, the duet she did with Towa.

[@vnrobbie1896]

I think Bae might actually be the best singer in HoloEN besides Elizabeth. Whenever I hear her singing, I genuinely feel like crying.

[@truedryad]

You should listen to La Roja. My fav song from Bae of all time.

[@TheCanadianGuy56]

No matter what music comes out of Hololive, psycho is still my favourite. Such a banger

[@Light4656]

If you are speaking of Idol, Kiara was a Idol in the Past.

[@matthewwilliams3579]

No she tried out for many idol groups AKB48 was the major one but she never passed auditions. She even became very depressed and shut herself in because of her rejections. That was when she found Hololive and then heard about the EN auditions and decided to pick herself back up and try again.

[@Light4656]

@@matthewwilliams3579 no she was in a group for a time, i know her past live, she was in a 3 Girl Group.

[@matthewwilliams3579]

@@Light4656 Yeah I looked into it further and she was in a 3 person group that's my bad, although the rest of what I said is correct she did try to get into other groups specifically AKB48 and received many rejections which did make her spiral until she joined Hololive.

[@matthewwilliams3579]

BTW it was horrible what happened to her recently in her alt life wasn't it. I can't believe it got that bad for her but for her to be able to jump back so quickly and even do this concert must be pretty rough for her, I hope she takes a break after the concert for a while.

[@machinronii]

It was a only a one time thing, but Kronii sang Hip from Mamamoo in this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKTddYF3iJd0e8k

[@CyrusMajin]

Since you are hopping into Advent next that means that we have Biboo (Koseki Bijou) coming up. So beyond her cover of "Kyoufuu All Back," I'm going to recommend her meme/parody songs: "Bury the Cringe" (parody of "Bury the Light") and "Gyatt for Nerizzler."
