Reaction to 【ORIGINAL SONG MV】「Q」- Calliope Mori x Gawr Gura x DECO*27

[@jakehellstrom2314]

Mori being the reapers apprentice. Her fanbase is deadbeats. Gura being a shark. Her fanbase is called shrimps. The video is about diffrent fanbases fighting eachother over stupid shit. And sometimes they fight their idols over stupid shit.

[@KagekiriToriko]

Aren't the Shrimps Gura's members? Or is "Chumbuds" unofficial?

[@KishyTheFishy52]

Just want to make sure you know who Gura is. Gawr Gura is also a part of Hololive English same as Calli. Gura is one of the best singers in Hololive. Gura is also has the most Subscribed VTuber on the internet she is so popular she is so big. Gura songs are also great like REFLECT but Gura doesn’t constantly make song covers but you get see her singing talent and vocal range during her Karaoke Streams. In my opinion Gura and Calli have one of the best duo’s they relate to each other and Gura is such a troll and memelord. She has a big history when it comes to the internet same like Calli. I kind of do wish Gura was singing English instead of Japanese though

[@louiswangtw315]

gura is the queen in the vtuber world

[@freakysquirrel7218]

Honestly, Gura and Mouse in a duet would probably break the internet considering both their talents and vocal ranges

[@jordasauris5508]

Also her fans are called shrimps. Thus the shimp guys in the video. 🍤

[@karactr8361]

@@freakysquirrel7218 Gura and Ironmouse in a duet written, mixed and produced by Calli!! If we push them, we might make it happen.

[@LuckySevenSamson]

As of a few days ago, Gura hit four million subscribers. What someone said about her being the Queen of V-Tubers is definitely no cap.

[@AnimeSquirrel]

The MV depicts Cali and Gura as rival gang bosses with their fan base, the deadbeats and the Shrimps/chumbuds respectively. They have a battle and the fans get to a point where they've had enough and revolt and Cali and Gura bond over beating up all us fans. They wanted a song that was less if a coherent story and more of a fun scheme.

[@TobbRobb]

Almost became an accidental REFLECT reaction on Gura's channel. Damn, he got away this time

[@beefy2110]

ngl, I thought he was about to react to it and got kinda hyped lol

[@artsykero]

Calli and gura are part of the same generation of hololive, they’re the number 1 (gura) and number 2 (calli) in all of hololive as well Gura streams as well & she speaks English but sings in mostly Japanese for official stuff, her English covers however are amazing! Try listening to some of her karaoke streams if you ever get a chance

[@dcresistance]

She said there isn't any meaning behind it, it's just a fun song. And yeah Deco*27 is an awesome producer. There are a lot of Vtuber covers of their songs

[@NayLubu]

Not a deep personal meaning, but I wouldn't say there is no meaning. It is just something that you wouldn't need to meticulous dissect the lyrics to figure out what the song is about.

[@zerocopy8407]

The shrimps are guras fanbase. Like how calli's fanbase are called deadbeats, gura's fanbase are called chumbuds.

[@vkarvanzer4243]

I really forgot about Chumbuds. All this time i call ourselves Shrimps lmao

[@tinyvodka8907]

@@vkarvanzer4243 well, to be honest, most chumbuds called themselves (including me) Shrimp. And with this MV, I think it's finally gain recognition officially

[@guywithaclappedphoto946]

"Gura's"

[@AnimeSquirrel]

Officially we are Membershrimps (or just shrimps for non members), but Gura has lovingly nicknamed us her chumbuds because she thinks it's cute.

[@Vasharan]

@@AnimeSquirrel And because sometimes, we deserve to go into the chum bucket.

[@Zerochroma15]

You should definitely react to Gura's original song REFLECT. It has subtitles, and that song will give you a ton to analyze and breakdown, because it is about her breaking away from her pre-Hololive personality where she was expected to make one type of content and said content was literally harming her health (both mental and physical).

[@benl.ofthegamecatarmy]

He almost started Reflect; worth listening to, I'd turn the subtitles on though. Both Calli and Gura are part of the Hololive EN: Myth branch (there are 5 streamers in Myth, 5 in the Council branch and then Irys is the 11th member of the Hololive English set, so far anyway)

[@stungunnotapplicable1953]

IRyS was actually the 6th HoloEN streamer, she came in separate from Gen 1 (Myth) but before Gen 2 (Council), so she was between generations as she doesn't seem to be counted among either generation.

[@razier5299]

@@stungunnotapplicable1953 I think she is like what Susei and Aziki (correct spelling?) who are just considered Hololive singers who aren't apart of any gen

[@benl.ofthegamecatarmy]

Frankly, my comment was just already long enough without trying to explain the difference between the 10 streamers and Irys who is an Idol Singer and member of Project: HOPE.

[@ImFrelled]

@@razier5299 I'd include Sora with those two. Especially since she is the OG of HoloLive.

[@remforrest]

If you haven't listened to Calli’s and Gura's King Cover yet I know you would like it. Gura's Reflect is also really good. These 3 are the fastest viewed hololive songs to 1 million views all under 20 hours.

[@burns0100]

Cali basically wants us to make what we want to from her music. So for me this is mostly a song about how fan bases can fight each other or start to fight the people they support but in the end you just need to stick together and support each other. Gura and Cali are both insanely popular and good friends so even if their fan bases fight they end up working it out in the end and being "Queens" together.

[@breakzw]

If you're interested since Gura's in this song, you should check out her original solo song, "Reflect" as well! It has CC's, unlike Q and there's definitely a deep meaning behind it. A good watch. Q is up to the viewers interpretation as far as meaning goes btw, at least that's how they wanted to put it forward to us, the fans. And yes! Deadbeats are characterized in this short, as well as the Shrimps which are gura's fanbase.

[@C.N.A.C.]

「Q」was originally "Queen," but their manager reminded them that searching for "Queen" on Spotify would bring up a certain British classic rock band and not leave a whole lot of room for anything else.

[@LethalShadow]

Howdy! I just wanna say, your interpretation of any song is just as valid as someone who has the full context for it. That's the beauty of music, and Mori specifically says that she wants people to draw their own interpretations about all of her songs. Keep up the good work sir!

[@themadking5835]

The title is just (Q) they said it's like that so it's easier to find instead of Queen which was what the name was gonna be

[@Motivated_Mf]

You got it right, there has been a recent controversy with some people over exaggerating about stuff and as always there was a group of people that tried to cancel Calli. Great reaction to a great song, I highly appreciate your reactions to the stupendium and Mori. You might want to check out reflect by Gura it’s a good song, keep it up.

[@matthewvest5191]

Idk if the controversy in particular is part of it. Depends on how far into production it was since I know they have been working on it for a while

[@Motivated_Mf]

@@matthewvest5191 yeah I don’t know either but the message of the song is clear so I assume that it refers to that

[@Mathtron5000]

The best part of the song are 1) the animation and 2) that hecking key change

[@karactr8361]

The base behind this is simple, really. It's a fan based response. These two are friends. When it comes to entertainment, they are almost paired souls in their understanding and devotion to their fans. They have little problem squabbling, fighting and going at each to entertain those fans. But it is all play, and if their fans play along, it's all good. But if those fans become toxic, if they get out of hand? These two have zero problem with bonking the fans to get them back in line. They are the QUEENS! They are, and probably always will be, the Bone Bros.

[@firevx32d38]

I would recommend for future reactions for you to react to REFLECT from gura, so yea Gura and Calli are like a powerful duo by being both of them amazing singers, they did a Cover together called King (also pretty good too)

[@captaingarvielloken2319]

Deadbeats vs Chumbuds (Shrimps) but your analogy is something I was thinking along the lines of as well.

[@5mihs]

Guess the whole thing starts as a fight for the title"Queen of the Night", as they are the two big streamers of their generation. But as the fandom demads what they should be, they unite to make clear who´s got the power in this.

[@lillykraus238]

I dont know if anyone said this yet but Originally they wanted to name the song Queen but with it already being so popular because of the band Queen, and since they didnt want any problems regarding that, they decided to just name the song Q.

[@avatar_of_battle4735]

Maaaaaan what I wouldn't GIVE for DDR to be a thing again on consoles. The PS3 game was so bad I regretted buying a mat for it. Dave's about to have me dig out the PS2 and play Max 300 for hours lol.

[@Yuethefallen]

I'm pretty sure this was answered but if it wasn't the skeletons are the dead beats which is what calliope calls her fans and the shrimps are what gura calls her fans so it's the whole video they had their seprete legions before uniting at the end.

[@godzillaenthusiast9687]

those barbed wires in the background are bringing up Gintama flashbacks, wonder if it's a similar message

[@helper_games]

2:16 theses are gura's fans, because shes a shark we are her shrimps

[@mickyflint]

dont bite the hand thats feeding you if it has a knife seems to me not to turn on someone helping you if they will still have power over you. like insulting your boss only for him to fire you, or dissing an old partner during an interview but then that old pal releases a bunch of dirty secrets or in a vtuber sense an entiteled fan attacking a streamer only to get banned.

[@helper_games]

4:10 its meant to be us, calli, the deadbeats Gura, shrimps we the fans are helping fight

[@wessltov]

Maaaan this song was infuriating me for having barely any subtitles! It sounds so cool, so naturally I wanted to know what it mean! One of Mori's most catchy releases, and a great collab with how it put them on equal footing

[@your_olive]

Gura calls her fans shrimps and I think the skull refers to calli's fans so its kinda like that.

[@godzillaenthusiast9687]

bro, when you brought up dance dance revolution my brain exploded

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

It’s basically the two of them fighting for fun but the fans went crazy so they worked together to put them in their place. The fight was fun but the fans took it too far.

[@titanmachine2005]

Great breakdown! Though Calli claims it is just fun, I think you found some of the unadvertised meaning in the song. I have to say it again, great breakdown!

[@kurokamideri]

They were battling each other, but then some gas came in and infected the Deadbeats and Shrimps causing them to team up and fight them instead

[@oQuindo1]

Funny that you brought op DDR cause DECO*27 is a producer who makes Vocaloid and a ton of his stuff is in games like DDR.

[@ColdRoland]

You managed to derail your own commentary in less than a minute. Wow. This flew over your head so far you couldn't see it in slo-mo.

I love the animation for this video so much lmao

[@pamounier]

Really good analysis my friend without having watched their streams! Yep, Yep, Yep.

[@SHlNRlKlARU]

You should look into Groove Coaster as it has a lot of VTuber songs! If you're really into DDR-style games look up DJ MAX respect on PS4/PC, it has so many different styles and SUPER challenging! Found your channel through the Calliope songs you looked at and you're awesome dude! Keep up the dope content!

Great analysis.

[@eruantien9932]

You struggle with her first name? But it's so easy, カライオピー /s Seriously though, the word itself is ancient Greek; I think you're allowed to get it wrong a few times until you have chance to wrap your head around the pronunciation.

[@toosmoofoyou]

Fun Fact, there actually was no meaning behind the song! It was just a little fun song they did together

[@stungunnotapplicable1953]

But then again, Calli has often times denied intentions behind songs that have been crystal clear what they mean... Gotta remember she's working for Cover, so she's beholden to their directives like all of them are, and may very well have no choice but to plausibly deny certain things.

[@tinyvodka8907]

well, TBH, sometimes we ( fans ) fight with each other over stupid shit, and even sometimes we fight with them over stupid shit too. But anyway, no matter what, it's undeniable truth that this song is Sick and super catchy
