I discovered this music few days ago and it was a masterpiece. Then I started to listen to other arknights music, and it's incredible how a mobile game can have such beautiful musics. I discovered this ost that I highly recommend you to listen to : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3LHgYaXZrmdbsU

[@tearaterranean6401]

"Lappland the Decadenza" is her name/codename, "Unmask" is the song name. Sometime people just stick character's name to that specific character song to have chance to reach the search algorithm more than just song name alone, that's why you see that confusing title lel

[@mythril7976]

Yesss more Arknights for the soul! Thank you for the request and love love the reaction

[@SoulWhiteAngel]

I heard my name?

[@Reldan]

They do a fantastic job of having these character themes fit the character as well, and not just in a lyrical sense. Lappland is unhinged but rational, wild yet refined, and she exudes confidence and danger. I think the nature of the song is perfect to communicate that. It's erratic but precise, frantic but never out of control. I remember when Marco reacted to Under Tides, a song with no lyrics, and correctly guessed about 80% of what the game context it was written for was about just off the music alone.

[@HittingBandy]

it's insane how recognizable Marco's voice is.

[@hazarulsutoto5374]

YES!!!! Finally Arknights Content!!! So about the different title is because 'Unmask' is the theme song for a character named 'Lappland the Decadenza'. This song is released when there is an event continuing the previous event where 'Wlfmaster' played. (You already react to it)

[@spiritus_noctis]

Adam Gubman composed some of the most creative and interesting tracks for Arknights. Always love to listen and watch others react to his songs

[@gonoki888]

Im glad that you found the full version. Since most only watch the one with PV and it's the short version

[@horrorshow8718]

I mean most reacted when it released and I don’t think there was the full version yet so I understand why some people didn’t react to this and watched the PV instead

[@abduhzuhdi8391]

oh my god, didn't expect ak new song will appear here again, love reaction as usual can't wait to see your another reaction

[@SarahPinzon]

Hey, nice Kingdome sweatshirt. 😎 I sang on this track and I'm from Seattle, too! Loved your analysis. The vocals may be high in the mix, but you don't want to sleep on how much awesomeness is going on behind it. You nailed it.

[@woodywoodpacker9051]

Yooo hi !!

[@Piquliar]

They have to bring their A game if they're performing this for the next Ambience Synesthesia, it's a piece of work!

[@SoulWhiteAngel]

Marco should be there!

[@Piquliar]

@@SoulWhiteAngel That would be EPIC!

[@Razor4884]

The wild unpredictability of the song definitely goes hand-in-hand with the wild unpredictability of the character it's portraying. Love it for that.

[@weisswind2411]

an awesome watch as usual, i'll never get tired of hearing your insights! i kept this one on repeat practically for days and STILL learned so much. it's a whole new level of appreciation every time, cheers. The theatrical/broadway vibe is very intentional. the theater in their hometown is a major location and they speak frequently through the story in terms of playing roles, everyone in Siracusa acting along the grand play of their mafioso society. the distorted transitions between the different feels in this track i think are a really good representation of how Lappland herself is. Antagonistic, conniving, full of black humor, but all the while she's a perfectly capable Operator, professional and respectful even with the object of her obsession. She knows everything about Texas, and not out of simply hating her guts. There is a scene between them where Texas is imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit. Lappland shows up to break her out, but first offers Texas some fancy chocolate as a token of goodwill. It is Texas' least favorite flavor. That's a good microcosm of their dynamics, Lappland knows /exactly/ what button to press while Texas is a master of keeping her reactions in check. Unstoppable force vs the most stoic object. these are some of my favorite characters so i won't get too in the weeds, i'm just happy to give a little more context behind the mind this song is about!

[@SoulWhiteAngel]

A wild song for a wild character. Love em both

[@thejackals4611]

The music name is UNMASK, but Lappland the Decadenza is name of character in arknights that use this music for trailer

[@水晶-s4v]

each variation is a whole song in itself. it feels like a course meal where each spoonful is a massively tasty bomb. if there's an album of each part as a song i'll be fighting my way to the store for it. the shocking thing is this song piece along with all other contents of the highest quality are for free.

[@Teerasakk]

Looking forward to watch you react to this event's boss theme "Ambiguous Morality"

[@Vasharan]

There are a lot of Myth & Roid style references in the song, which is cool since Myth & Roid did the Arknights anime S2 OP.

[@reaperandyel]

That's why I got "Overlord" OP ED vibes from it. 😅

[@Vasharan]

@@reaperandyel I know the one you mean! Voracity, S3 OP, by M&R, right?

[@NahNoWayy]

Such an incredibly fun song, it's insanely cool the swerving path this song took. Hadn't heard the full version until now! Not to mention Marco had a cameo. Beautiful

[@Immensity0O]

Gosh, just how much good music does arknights have? Really impressive

[@ebel6321]

And yet they are still cooking

[@derp4581]

It's a music studio making games to market their music

[@hideandslide4586]

its one hell of a theme, its really fun to listen to ad you expaining the why is great

[@gonoki888]

The song is wild which probably not for everyone as you said, but it fits with the character portrayed on this song (it's a character's theme), Lappland. Because she's wild chaotic yet still elegant.

[@KebinKaslana10]

This piece is incredibly unique, it’s composed by Adam Gubman, but sadly i don’t knownthe name of the singer. It’s not really my taste but i can definitely appreciate how they integrated so much different stuff into a single song while still making it work. Thanks for the reaction and insights, really appreciate it!

[@Wolf-dn7uo]

i love how chaotic it is lol very much fits Lappland's madness

[@vp7877]

Arknights songs are usually distinct from each other so in that way it is in line

[@Piquliar]

This feels like the largest scale song I've heard in Arknights honestly, it's a full, fat 5 course musical meal and I'm cleaning my plate! ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

[@TheDjdeath45]

Lets go more arknights, one step closer to field in the light 🙏

[@reaperandyel]

This song fits so well with the chaotic nature of Lappland. Anyway, "Unmask" is the title of the song and "Lappland the Decadenza" is the character's name. This is Lappland's theme/promo song.

If you havnt already you should check out the osts for Limbus company and library pf ruina. Especially the songs made by mili for the games

[@_Kasta_698]

"The Golden Age" calls upon you Tony also maybe you'd be down for a drum solo as AK cameo? 👀

[@Neengen]

Yo Tony, wondering if you have Sawano's Kill La Kill soundtrack in your future analysis plans? I had fun trying to analyze all the details by myself, but would love to see yours as well. p.s. thank you for all your work so far, I learned a lot and can't wait to learn even more!

[@abduhzuhdi8391]

anyway, adam gubman is the one who compose this song

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

"Anyway" 🤔

[@abduhzuhdi8391]

@DrumRollTonyReacts well, he's pretty often release song for arknights. he also compose one of your Arknights reaction, "wolfmaster" aka signore de lupi boss

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@abduhzuhdi8391 Good to know. That wasn't the vibe I was getting from your initial comment

[@Petterwass]

Shame you didn't include the music video for it; its pretty fun.

[@bittersuet]

​​@@DrumRollTonyReactsI think they were referring to the video you stumbled upon from Marco's tweet. Titled "Lappland the Decadenza EP..." from RiverV Workshop channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX3YgaV8dsR0pbcsi=XI_UgE442U0l6Eao

[@BobtheDestroyer69]

​@@DrumRollTonyReacts kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKXGZIx9ZbqbjZo The thing with the different names comes from part of the song being shown during the announcement livestream but we don't get the song's name so people just put the new character's name and/or the event's name for the title. We learn the song's name when MSR uploads the song like a week after the livestream.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@BobtheDestroyer69 Yeah but that is not the full song. This person requested the full song

[@Spectacure]

This low-key sounds like an overlord op🔥💀🔥

Don’t know anything about this game. But that’s pretty epic

[@charizardgamez447]

"What in the Voracity by MYTH & ROID is this song?"

[@trungcaycanh5156]

ohhh

[@Rokillope]

Now is a matter of time that tony enters the project moon brainrot, that or react to a Mili song.

[@jeownek]

Ye I thought about Marco too but I thought maybe it was someone, I don't visit twitter for the sake of my mental health

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Very wise decision about Twitter

[@xZeke97]

The music video version you opened when checking on Marco is a lot less... erratic, there are still jumps but not as many as this complete song, I prefer it to be honest.

[@Shuhua-milk]

More arknights thank you! We’re starved lmao

[@X1andra]

you HAVE to check out the songs in arcane season 2🔥

[@helikopter007]

Day one of asking Tony to react to "The Words That Came From Deep Inside My Gut" from the jjk soundtrack.

[@infamousshinkicker6924]

Can someone please recommend this man Buck Tick or Malice Mizer

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

You just did

[@Melantic]

More arknights please!

[@Lamorte1000]

React to the ost ( to Ashes and Blood) Arcane

[@zunikanu1087]

Honestly I don't think Arknights really has a style. They just make a wide variety of themes, hence the "music company" community joke. The only part that would be consistent is probably the in game music for the main story.

[@edwarddean7]

Still waiting for your reaction to Ado's: - Cover of "Villain" 원곡 - God-ish 「神っぽいな」

[@galihadam96]

Maybe you can watch the actual arknights concert ?

[@kitsune9237]

Can you please react to Aporia by Yorushika?

Can you please REACT to New blue Lock op?
