Musician's Reaction to 'Yuusha' 「勇者」 by Yoasobi - Frieren Beyond Journey's End OP

[@woodstockjoseph]

Thanks for reacting to Yoasobi’s songs. They do every piece of music or song based on a novel or story. So, we can always read the novel or story and feel how it attaches to the music. Yoasobi call themselves as using music to tell stories. 😊

[@alberato]

この「勇者」という曲、曲自体は言葉の壁も関係無いけれど、歌詞には言葉の壁がある。 どのように各国で訳されているのか。また、アニメもどのようにセリフが訳されているのか非常に気になる。 そもそもタイトル「葬送のフリーレン」の「葬送」がしっかりと受け取られているのだろうか。 そしてこの曲の歌詞が、どれだけ本編と連携している切ないものなのか。なんとか世界中に伝わって欲しい。

[@yutahkotomi1195]

ちょっと遅い返信だが、少なくとも英語においては魔族を葬ったという意味では「葬送」は全く反映されていませんね。

[@taufiqm_tube]

I vote for Frieren too after Bocchi. I'm a fan of its manga and really delighted by the anime adaptation.

[@Roninmann]

That is definitely going on the list!

[@shadoweclipse69]

Both are good

[@taufiqm_tube]

@@shadoweclipse69 yup! Btw both have the same director, Keiichirou Saito

[@pedrosouza3552]

Andthey are made by the same director

[@nyanpasu2351]

Bocchi was the most entertaining anime last year for me. Frieren I've been reading and purchasing the manga since release. I'm happy that it will be 2 seasons with such high quality.

[@383MAX383]

勇者 まるで御伽の話 終わり迎えた証 長過ぎる旅路から 切り出した一節 それはかつてこの地に 影を落とした悪を 討ち取りし勇者との 短い旅の記憶 物語は終わり 勇者は眠りにつく 穏やかな日常を この地に残して 時の流れは無情に 人を忘れさせる そこに生きた軌跡も 錆び付いていく それでも君の 言葉も願いも勇気も 今も確かに私の中で 生きている 同じ途を選んだ それだけだったはずなのに いつの間にかどうして 頬を伝う涙の理由をもっと 知りたいんだ 今更だって 共に歩んだ旅路を辿れば そこに君は居なくとも きっと見つけられる 物語は続く 一人の旅へと発つ 立ち寄る街で出会う 人の記憶の中に残る君は 相も変わらずお人好しで 格好つけてばかりだね あちらこちらに作ったシンボルは 勝ち取った平和の証 それすら 未来でいつか 私が一人にならないように あの旅を思い出せるように 残された目印 まるで御伽の話 終わり迎えた証 私を変えた出会い 百分の一の旅路 君の勇気をいつか 風がさらって 誰の記憶から消えてしまっても 私が未来に連れて行くから 君の手を取った あの日全て始まった くだらなくて 思わずふっと笑ってしまうような ありふれた時間が今も眩しい 知りたいんだ 今更だって 振り返るとそこにはいつでも 優しく微笑みかける 君がいるから 新たな旅の始まりは 君が守り抜いたこの地に 芽吹いた命と共に

[@kuronekohidekuni6445]

I would be very happy if you choose to react this anime. I've watched 4 episodes. I think one of the key element of the story is death. If you have lost somebody important for you, this anime will give you sort of healing effect.

[@陳威麟-q7o]

This is very awesome. The series is to show how short people live and shine, when the time flows and seems still even its ever-changing. Those little sparks and memory just came out as so precious, and how humanity can be prestige if a man could hold the bravery, wisdom and kindness. This strikes hard even a nihilist like me.

[@futon1832]

Frieren's director is the same person as Bocchi's actually.

[@Roninmann]

Oh really? They did such a great job with Boochi.

[@EthNet34756]

damn they cookin

[@teren60]

Recomend listen to the official english version of the song.. since you already watching it..

[@game-rlife2571]

Hey loved your reaction good to see you’re well also this show is great definitely recommend to watch ❤

[@Roninmann]

I’ve been hearing only good things about the show! Thank you for watching!

[@KebusuNiisan]

And for the first time in their career, some people, specifically bandwagoners started shitting on Yoasobi for some reasons like it wasn't as banger as Idol. But for me, this song truly fits the anime if they will just put an effort to look at the lyrics.

[@Roninmann]

That’s so strange since both songs are great and came from the same group. I think watching the show will only make me like the song even more than I do now.

[@Meinyaa]

People aren't hating on Yoasobi because it's a bad song. People are hating on the anime staff for choosing Yoasobi because of their fame even though their sound doesn't match the vibe of Frieren at all.

[@cirnotheicefairy3609]

@@Meinyaa it doesn't match the vibe of Frieren only if you look at it only at a surface level. Thematically and lyrically speaking, it fits Frieren to a tee. The opening isn't like that just to be happy, for it is a song that celebrates the hero, friend of Frieren that once lived and had died a long life worth living. It is a song that chooses to be happy that they had existed and lived their lives, rather than being somber in the fact that they have passed. There will be many regrets towards those you love, many things you wish you'd have said when they were alive, but in the end, rather than wallowing in sadness, you should celebrate the fact that they were a part of your life, that they brought color to your world.

[@Meinyaa]

@@cirnotheicefairy3609 that's just your interpretation of it, symbolism is subjective so there's no right or wrong here.

[@cirnotheicefairy3609]

@@Meinyaa not much room for symbolism when the very lyrics of it combined with the tone of the song is a pretty obvious tell of what kind of story they're trying to portray here.

[@みっちぃ-s8s]

エルフという架空の長寿者が人間にしてみれば1ヶ月冒険魔王倒して解散一年後来てみれば勇者が老いぼれ😅死んだからの始まりを表現した歌アイドルと同じく1話を観るとよく心に突き刺さります😢

[@akasa8jp]

The lyrics are really great. 😭 The greatest respect for the story.

[@danielantony1882]

Ðe song in general is just Frieren's vindicative and proud atittude towards her time spent wið Himmel, and her expression of affection.

[@kuon8405]

I think so too. If he didn't know the lyrics, the appeal of this song would be cut in half. I wish he would react to it again with English lyrics after watching the anime.

[@rudhias]

YOASOBIは、小説等の物語を、楽曲にして歌うユニットです｡ Ayaseさん単体に依頼するなら別ですが『YOASOBI』で活動してる場合の曲は基本全て 小説等の元が有り其れのイメージから作曲してます。 YOASOBIのアイドルですら原作者が小説を書き起こした物が元になってます。 原作者の赤坂アカ先生がこの曲の為に書き起こした物です。 『葬送のフリーレン』もライトノベルと呼ばれる枠組みに含まれる小説の一つです｡ YOASOBI is a unit that sings stories such as novels as songs. Unless you request Ayase alone, but basically all the songs when you are working on "YOASOBI" There is a source of novels, etc., and I'm composing from that image. Even YOASOBI's idol is based on what the original author transcribed the novel. Akasaka, the original author, transcribed it for this song. Funeral Freelen is also one of the novels included in a framework called light novels.

流石ＹＯＡＳＯＢＩ！表現力が高い！いい音楽に国境も言語もかんけいないんだなあ

[@danielantony1882]

Frieren's message in ðe OP is definitely romantic.

[@J.Inkwell_art]

That piano is sooo good!! I wonder if the red bird carries significance since it showed up throughout the intro, but it is hard to guess how it played a role. Maybe it means the freedom that the journey brings. I like the collaboration and maybe Yoasobi will continue to collaborate with other animes. I just feel like her voice is versatile and the anime just helps visualize the tone.

[@Roninmann]

Ayase is from another planet as far as I’m concerned. I’d be happy to have 1/100th the piano skill he has haha

[@sweetmeloday5935]

I do wonder what kind of bird it is. I did like a google search, about like the meaning of a red bird and found something about a Cardinal and it's symbol and according to Birds and Blooms it means "an uplifting, happy sign that those we have lost will live forever, so long as we keep their memory alive in our hearts."

[@raffaele94full]

@@sweetmeloday5935 it seems very fitting to the message of the show. So it is probably correlated

[@Roninmann]

I'm not sure where you're from, but when I lived in TN in the States we saw a lot of Cardinals. The locals would tell me if I saw one, that it was like someone who passed away was watching over you.

[@J.Inkwell_art]

That’s actually a really sweet way of how it is interpreted there by the locals 🥹

[@Qwert-4960]

Beyond journeys end is great it go some people crying on the first episode especially older ones who mature more to understand losses it's a calm and peaceful state and thrilling state and those tiny laughs that gets you to have blowing air out your nose it's those tiny jokes it looks great and it's of course unique

[@Roninmann]

I'm looking forward to watching it!

[@danielantony1882]

勇者 does not mean brave. What means brave is 勇気ある者(Brave one), which is ðe core word, and ðey associate bravery wið heroism so we got Yuusha(勇者).

[@西森寛]

私達は、コロナで大切な人達との沢山の別れを 看取る事さえ許されない月日を生きた。1000年を生きた魔法使いは、短命な勇者の死で 滅ぼされた一族にですら持てなかった愛に目覚める。勇者を愛せなかった後悔と、勇者を産み出す旅が始まる。唄にするには、時代も世界情勢も最適な悲劇に満ち溢れている。

[@DodacLA]

Yushi indeed mean Hero and is interchangeable with the noun Brave and does not refer to the adjective of being brave. Basically Brave is a different word for Hero in this context and is used interchangeably depending who localises/translates something.

[@VerchielxKanda]

It means Brave. I- It LITERALLY says Frieren Beyond Journey's End in the video's title... It's about a long-lived elf dealing with the passing of not only her comrades, but the passing of time as a whole.

[@HaloseBetaM14]

Sad to see how a subset of Frieren fans is sending hate towards Yoasobi for the song "not fitting" to the show. Fantastic composition and lyrics for a breathtaking anime based on a period defining manga. The stars have aligned and we are fortunate enough to witness it.

[@Roninmann]

That sucks that some fans are being weird about it. I’ve only heard good things about the show!

[@HaloseBetaM14]

@@Roninmann Every aspect is great! There is just this unexplainable distain for this song in particular. As always it is the so-called vocal minority but we all know how loud they can be on social media these days.

[@Meinyaa]

Frieren is by no means a period defining manga and I'm saying it as a long time fan of it. It's way to overhyped for the type of show that it is.

[@sixstringinmyfinger9975]

it is true tho that the song is not fitting, well to be more clear I mean the MELODY PART. The lyrics is good and fitting, but the melody is just too hypie and techno, which is not really fitting to the series. People dont hate on the song and Yaosobi, the song itself is amazing, but not fitting. Also, I am not a professional music artist, so if you are going to reply that I do not have any right to criticize the song because I am not a professional music artist, there you go.

[@Roninmann]

I try to promote the idea that it's okay to have different tastes. We don't have to all like the same things for the same reasons.

[@ashtonkhan8763]

What is that choirish/ operatic part in the chorus called? It's like my fav part

[@Roninmann]

I think it's okay to just refer to them as a choir. They seem to come in to signify the change between the chorus and post-chorus. The post-chorus can help have a smoother transition to back to the next verse. I think later the choir does come in to extend one of the later chorus's.
