mashle : nuts of steel

[@SergeantDaynes]

Admittedly, the beat just really fits the nature of Dandadan really well. I think it’s more happenstance that it was also used for Bling-Bang-Bang-Born than any sort of genuine laziness or repetitiveness Edit: Yeah, this is more of a “lightning struck twice” situation than anything else

[@dmcpartlin17]

True, I digested it as their style rather than falling back on a previous creation.

[@snazzysammi87]

I fully agree. I was going to come here to say this: The music fully embodies the craziness, chaos, and catharsis of Dan Da Dan. I think it was true happenstance as well. Mashle: Magic and Mayhem-the protagonist is so gangster that Jersey Rap was very fitting for the second season OP. This isn't Jersey Rap, as the bed squeak is a vital genre characteristic.

[@ziiia]

this, this exactly. it feels like they began with a similar start point for both tracks, and while both have plenty of their own merit to stand alone as good songs (not just good OPs), this one feels like a 100% completely perfect fit for dandadan. vs w/ mashle where i felt like it was more "cool song for cool popular anime". and creepy nuts has a unique style, i dont feel like that should be a knock against them either.

[@MartHommes]

Also, I just think that a lot of people don't realize that that's just how this genre sounds (jersey). Songs are bound to sound similar if it's in the same genre. But a lot of people don't know what jersey is so they can only come to the conclusion of "it's very similar" instead of "oh it's jersey, it's supposed to sound a bit like this"

[@freddybell8328]

Lightning strikes twice isn't really fair when they used two very similar beats. If it was two very different sounds that were great it would be more impressive.

[@donskun3260]

Actualy that background sound in the 'dandadan dandadan dandadan' part is a clasic japanese horror theme sound. That flute 'fwuuu wooo' sound then followed by some kind of ghost slowly coming out of the darkness is very cliché japanese

I don't mind the similarity because it has its own quirks and it develops later on into different parts of the song. To me, all the parts just feel nice together, so I can't say it's the same song as the last one.

[@germanshepherd2701]

It’s also a completely different song for a whole newer, bigger audience so who cares. Might as well be eternally disappointed in ALLLLLLL music as you recognize patterns everywhere.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@germanshepherd2701 What a dramatic comment for a small amount of music assessment. One should be able to discuss and critique music without resulting "eternally disappointed in ALLLLL" music as being the reaction to the observations pointed out by someone. You will come out the other side finding a lot more value in what you put in your ears. This is still a great song that deserves the praise I put to it as well.

[@germanshepherd2701]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts lol I think because this is your video, you’re read too much into my comment and made it more “dramatic” in your head. Re-read my comment more like a normal person is saying it, and you’ll see your response, to me, is the one that appears more dramatic. i.e. it’s not that deep. I understand your critiques, I just think saying them a couple times maxed would’ve sufficed but it seemed to ding your opinion on the song more than it should’ve imo, which includes dinging the mood. No need for that, it’s meant for a much more expanded audience - a one-off in that sense - and it works great. Review the song based on itself and it’s own merits, not based on a meta-analysis of the band’s discography. That’s all I meant to convey with my message. Peace brother 🙏😁

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@germanshepherd2701 ....uhh that's what this video is. We observed the A and B section from a musical standpoint. Comparison to ONE song is not a meta analysis of their discography but happens to be somewhat in order here as the hype was SOLELY based around the release of a new anime....Dan Da Dan. It's only natural to include the discussion of Mashle's OP as Anime drove both their recent hits.

[@mr.tentacles8660]

​@@DrumRollTonyReactsChill guys atleast we all agree that this is a cool song and i can easily listen to it on repeat especially the later part

[@drumandbassonvinyl]

The big difference comes through the tempo. Otonoke being 170 bpm pulls its intro into the realm of footwork (which is related to hip hop, ghetto house and drum and bass). Bling-Bang-Bang-Born (the Mashle op) is at 157 which pulls it towards house and breaks (to which I know I’m stretching it a bit). Plus, the song completely changes its feel midway through where as “Bling-“ more or less keeps the same theme throughout. Although they invoke similar thoughts, I think each tune is unique enough to stand by itself.

[@anklo7904]

[@polyphoniphilia]

[@MstrNel]

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@MstrNel Relax MstrNel, no need to be rude. I asked in the video about the tempo differences between the two songs as well as a question about what people generally thought between the two compositions. This person was simply answering that. My videos are about observations of the music on a first time listen. You seemed to not like that I was the tiniest bit critical and somehow think its about envy. LOL, trust me I think its cool that cultures around the world are inspired by American club music and make their own variations on it. That is how it should be. Envy? The music styles and musicians I am envious of are ...VERY different than this its not comparable. I did laugh out loud when I read your comment tho. Have a good one.

Creepy nuts have been releasing music to millions of views for 14 years and even between the mashle OP and this one they’ve been releasing songs so it doesn’t bother me if there’s a similarity here. This song fits the anime perfectly and that’s something creepy nuts take very seriously and (I think) do very well when coming up with a song for a piece of Media. 2 way nice guy was a song they did for way of the househusband and I think they did an equally good job there too

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

It does fit the weird alien 👽 perved out vibe for sure. I need to check out more of their catalog tbh 🎶 Millions of views is not my qualifier for quality but just what the masses intake. We all know how that goes 👀😅. I'm not familiar with 2 way nice guy, I'll have to check it out 🤘

[@FilthyPagan-g3r]

In the context of this being written primarily as an anime intro, I think the repetative rhythm sounding like the name of the show that stays constant throughout the song is a stroke of genius. Its as if you can hear the name of the show you are about to watch on every bar. I don't know ofcourse but I suspect that this was deliberate and therefore some very clever song writing in my opinion.

This rhythm is a separate genre in fact. It's called Jersey Club. This genre also includes bed squeaks, rattles and other sounds

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

It's a hard sell to say that a rhythm alone is a genre. This rhythm is not unique or new by any means, but when used combined with the bass tones and vocal/hip hop stylings...it gets closer.

[@eastiezz]

​@@DrumRollTonyReactsI think what he meant to say is that the rhythm is a part/characteristic of another genre, which is correct. All Jersey club songs use that kick pattern, much like all reggaeton uses the same drum rhythm.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@eastiezz I already replied to this. so Im not sure why there is follow up. Their quote was "this rhythm is a separate genre in fact".... in fact rhythm is NOT a genre. It takes multiple factors to make a genre. Four on the floor is present in so many genres I cant possibly list them all.

PLEASE listen to the Blue Box opening! As a percussionist it tickled my brain bc it’s so unique compared to regular anime openings!

[@JacobWenters]

Up until the second half of the song it really just feels like one of those free style background beats you'd have someone doing the the background when just hanging with friends or in school. This whole song is just pure street beatbox vibes and I feel like it's way better if you understand the words, but the vocal harmony still flows through if you don't. Then it just ascends to heaven lol

[@ninjaspyman]

One thing I like about this song is at the end of the rap, he says otsukaresama which can be used as a goodbye to a friend or coworker. Its at the end of the rap and then transitions into the really different pre chorus. Just hits me right man

[@davidsiatatgaming]

Except for the video making references to the plot by stylistic choices and what's shown, the lyrics are also full of references to japanese occult stuff and traditions regarding that. -"kuwabara kuwabara kuwabara" refers to a saying used to ward off misfortune from others -sada-chan (Sadako) and kaya-chan (Kayako) are ghosts from a popular horror movie franchise in japan -R-Shitei keeps repeating the number 4 (yon) at one point, as one of the ways it can be read can also be interpreted as "death" (shi), the reason they usually avoid the number 4 like americans avoid 13 -"haireta haireta haireta" is translated as "i'm inside" and refers to the phrase a monster from a popular 4-chan story would repeat after possessing people () -the title (otonoke) is also a reference to a creepy pasta monster called yamanoke ("mountain monster") where they replace "mountain" (yama) with "sound" (oto) -those are not bedsqueaks, they're meant to mimic those uneasy alien transmission ufo sound things -those are just a few

[@MyMainMan90]

Good points Tony. I will say that Jersey Club music genre in itself has this distinct drum rhythm. For me its infectious and there is enough variation in tone, which here ranges from dark, minimalistic and tribal to chill, fun, open/epic/pseudo-ballad and finally melodic to the Mashle opening which feels more fun but goofy. Although someone with a golden ear which requires stimulation to keep the brain excited will find something like this almost copycat in nature which again, the jersey club genre is.

[@repHAWAIIxJPN]

I also feel that the beginning was crafted in a way that would work well as an anime intro . The second half usually gives artist the chance to have more fun with it at least imo . I only listened to the full version once but would be curious what your thoughts are , especially if it's a First Take version

[@CassidyListon]

I agree. When they drop the drums and start the "hei data. hei data. hei data." keyboard section that's when I really fell in love with the song. Also, dig the Seahawks.

[@oldylad]

Hairatai

[@twixchexmix]

melodically i think also that guitar riff in the chorus almost echoes the melody of the vocals which helps stick the vocal dandadan melody as the “main” syncopation to follow follow compared to the 3:2 polyrhythm in the second half of the dandadan phrase. great insight from the rhythmic perspective from someone who is admittedly more tunnel visioned on melodic lines as a sax player!

[@MattLeIdjut]

Love that your not super pressed to praise the track to the max because it's popular. I have 0 musical production knowledge, but, as a normy, I'd like to share a quick thought. Personally, this song speaks to me as a fan who's been reading Dandadan for years. The feelings I get in the progression that the song gives is like a microcosm of how it feels when reading the series itself. The way these guys make songs is almost like they were tailor made to star this opening for the series. The creepy (ha) instrumentals with thumping, unusual baselines and snappy lyrics transitioning into melodic strings and vocals. They bring out those memories of reading certain chapters for the first time effortlessly, and I think those moments have now been enhanced for me, since I'll likely be thinking back to this track on subsequent re-reads.

[@JickAudio]

That beginning part with the highs and lows is reminiscent to paranormal sounds, specifically UFO’s/ghosts which is a recurring theme in the show. It’s a cool little Easter egg in the intro.

3:52 the thing is acually saying "Sara-chan Gaya-Chan" (Or something along those lines i cant remember exactly) Which is a direct reference to two japanese Yokai. Also "Kuwabora" is a term that was commonly used to word off evil Yokai. When they repeat the word "Haitia" multiple times is a reference to a legend where a young girl and her father had slept in the mountains for the night due to exhaustion (Im pretty sure thats why) and the girl was possessed by a Yokai that would randomly start to repeat the words "Im inside" to her multiple times, so when they say "Haitia" they are saying "Im in"/"im inside". That is all the references i can remeber rn.

But I totally see where you are coming from that it sounded very similar :) Also I enjoy your reaction videos

[@Tora_thor]

4:02 i love listen to music but i dnt know sht about music, as long its catchy and makes my body move itself, well u got me. nice reaction btw sir😄

[@ChiefBret]

I always love your constructive opinions. I personally agree with you this time, but even in the past when I disagreed with you, I understood your point of view and I think you always make valid points.

[@wildwesley9328]

I’ve been listening to this song near nonstop for the last few days. It’s so good Yeah, it’s similar in composition to their previous opening for Mashle, but the differences change the vibe drastically. I personally prefer Otonoke, because I am all caught up with the Dandadan Manga and the vibe of this song fits the story perfectly. I loved Bling-Bang-Bang-Born a lot and it fits the opening for Mashle well, but it feels more like a club song (they both could be played at clubs don’t get me wrong), but I’m more likely to get up and dance for Bling-Bang-Bang-Born, while I could dance to Otonoke, but it’d be a very different style of dancing and I am just as likely to vibe to that song bobbing my head.

Can someone help me with counting this? The song is clearly in four, but the "dandadan"s are doing some kind of three-against-two(?) thing that results in every alternate "dandadan" starting on the beat. The notation at 1:25 gets the relative lengths of the notes right (except I am not hearing sixteenth rests at all?) but as written can't be in meter. Dotted triplet followed by two sixteenth triplets maybe?

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

It's in 4. It's 16th note triplets or 8th note triplets depending on how you count the quarter note tempo. The notation I showed at 125 was just for long vs short note duration bc it's easier to read. But that's not the rhythm for this. It's 1st, 3rd and 4th notes from a 16th note triplet grouping. I could make a video on it tbh

[@Vergilius314]

@DrumRollTonyReacts thanks!

[@DealwithitHand]

That horn you're talking about is meant to sound more like a freaky demon vocal. It's on theme.

[@LongXue]

Ok I'm not the only one who didn't really like the first rap that much, only when the switch turns up that I got hooked to the song.

[@Sameeer_Saker]

Love how you break down the song and the functions/influences of each instrument

[@baddragonite]

I like how they incorporated the Title of the anime into the rythm with that Dan da dan dan da dan da dan

[@nafishasnain4114]

Fun fact regarding the pikmin sound that you mentioned being similar to bed squeak noises - someone just discovered that the sound is actually sampled from Bill Murray's Floating Down the Old Green River song - the lyrics being "the schooner went past", "the ship got wrecked with" and "the captain and crew". The "captain and crew" is clearly audible in the second verse of the full Otonoke soundtrack around the 1:58 mark. All props to @Schnozinski who discovered this haha. Edit: edited the timestamp for the full Otonoke soundtrack where you can hear "the captain and crew" lyrics

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

is it tho

[@nafishasnain4114]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts Yeah - seems to be the case. I didn't believe it until I listened to the full soundtrack.

I thought that the second part where the artists starts rapping sounded like Godzilla by Eminem a bit

Seeing Turbo Granny makes me happy everytime ^^

[@jamesrangel9494]

The original song is actually around 3 min it's just smaller as you are watching the intro

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

i LOATHE the bed squeak sound and really that entire section but I love everything else in the song. Reminds me of being younger and liking really heavy metal but hating screemo and you'd have these bands like I remember trivium that would have super nice sounding melodic parts and I'd be so into it and then they'd start screaming and I just wished I could music that was only the melodic part but I couldn't find any back then.

[@Lordgenome944]

Out of the three openings and endings these guys have done that I've heard, the Mashle one is definitely the most catchy, and this is a capturing lightning in the bottle, but honestly I like the first of the three I came across, and it's very different from these two (Call of the night ending 1 Yofukashino Uta) Edit - Didn't realize they did the opening too for Call of the Night, Still like that ending the best of all the stuff I've heard by them lol (Some reason I can't find the clip from the series, but the full song is Yofukashino Uta by Creepy Nuts)

[@bakabaka73]

I am addicted to the first part of this song, until it passes to the lighter singing part. That part is good too but something about the beat, the lyrics, and that background noise is so pleasing to my ears. I have never heard any of there other stuff, but I love this.

[@DaiDaiShyGal]

Bruh I can not get enough of this song. 🤣 I honestly hope they keep this theme for future anime openings.

[@ultimatereward]

Definitely feeling the vibe of this OP I loved it! I honestly just love all of Creepy Nuts' work

[@adrianbalboa9246]

Would have loved to hear your thoughts on the full version. Love this song!

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

When I'm done with the anime series reactions I will definitely do the full version

[@woolfel]

when i first heard it, I got the impression it was a call back to mashle. it just to quick nod to "hey, it's creepy nuts". then it switches to a different mood. I've been listening to their last album and their other music is much more varied and diverse

[@salvationindustries]

I am happy that I am not the only one who notices this but Mashle OP created a trend here.

[@PrometheusXV]

Personally I actually look for songs frequently that have that "Similar, but not the same" vibe to them. Whenever I hear some new sound that I haven't been exposed to, I get excited to try to find similar songs but often struggle with just getting the exact same song on repeat with new lyrics. A lot of artists I listen to really like to experiment, and I appreciate that, but it can result in songs that are vastly unrelated and often aren't the style I was excited for when I found them. It's a sweet spot for my personal tastes.

[@Macabre_facades]

That ostinato beat is just jersey club, that rhythm as well as rhe bed squeak is a staple of the genre

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Yea, I'm familiar with the genre. I was in college when it was popular... it's old

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

But rhythm itself doesn't define a genre

[@strummania9134]

Earned a sub because you actually have critiques and don't just praise everything, feels more real.

I love the drumline bits please keep them in!!

Been patiently waiting for this song to officially drop so I could hear a proper analysis by Tony the GOAT 🔥
