Wow, you posting up VODs of Oshi no Ko s2 watch parties was not on my bingo cards lol. Guess I'll delay watching the eps from now on and wait for your VOD releases since I find your commentary and takes very enjoyable to listen to

Yeah Template has an interesting MV, and I've thought about it a few times to try and figure it out. I think you're pretty much in the right area, being about different types of toxic fans. Obsession or, as you put it 'white knighting', and whatever else might be going on. A very interesting contrast for me is one of Towa's songs, Reimei, which IIRC came out around the same time. It seems to be more about needing the support of fans (who aren't toxic, hopefully, lol). On that note I'd be curious to see you analyze some of Towa's songs sometime.

Autoplay brought me back to this after watching your latest Suisei song analysis. It really was love at first sight, huh?

👀

yey

When I heard the words "maths" and "physics" my brain perked up. My next thought was "ah no, why is THAT what draws my attention?" I do have a bit of a math&science brain lol

Hibike Eupho RAHH🗣️🗣️🗣️

no matter how many times I tried I just can't get into Mushoku Tensei. maybe cuz it's not as "controversial" as people made it out to be. I dropped it halfway through S2 when it bored me out of my mind

Wow did not expect this at all but I am very thankful!!

We need a Mushoku Tensei live reaction. That series has had an amazing adaption and I'm sure you'd have hilarious reactions to it.

Wow, this came out of nowhere! I'd never have guessed we'd get a S2 reaction for a show that wasn't even in your AniList, especially when it's just started airing! Oshi no Ko is a series I have mixed feelings about. I really liked the beginning of the story, but everything after Tokyo Blade is a blur in my memory, and I have been actively disliking the current manga arc, so I wasn't planning on keeping watching it, but now I guess I will. Following the theme about adaptations, I believe they skipped the setup for the arc, which feels odd, and I find the opening segment questionable, with its numerous character shots, but I've generally liked the rest of what I've seen. Regarding the other mentioned anime, I've heard a lot of praise for Mushoku Tensei, but even fans of the series tend to go "yeah, understandable" if someone doesn't wanna watch the show because of the MC. Everything I heard about him is... rough, really rough. More than just flawed, he seems to be very uncomfortable to watch. I haven't watched The Promised Neverland in a traditional way, having seen just anime reactions to it, but having read the manga, I'd say that while there is a significant difference between them, I think the anime is passable/enjoyable as its own experience, just likely less so, if you read the manga. One thing I remember, though I might be misremembering, is that the anime has its characters voice out their inner thoughts, which considering the setting, is REALLY stupid, but again, I think it can be enjoyed. Season 2 is just... beyond awful, and this is coming from someone who dropped the manga in the arc that S2 was supposed to cover. Back to Oshi no Ko, I also enjoyed what I heard from the ending. Unlike you, I don't think I have a musical ear, so you may find these unimpressive, but I'd recommend checking out Kira Kira no Hai from Dungeon Meshi, Wareta Ringo from Shinsekai Yori, and Dear Future from Mawaru Penguindrum. I usually like anime songs, but hardly put them into "wow, these are really good" territory, these three are some of the ones that I actually really like.

this videos a year old but the translation for FACT is very correct

Welcome back

この後の曲たちも楽しみにしてます！

What the heck this video was so fascinating! Especially the part where you laid out all the chord for the various ayase songs. That feeling I had about ayase songs finally made sense. That said I still love them, but it’s incredibly interesting to have the insight on the structure. Probably one of the coolest videos you’ve put out so far! Really looking forward to the rest of the series!

good analysis... holding on for fate/zero👉👈🥺

Japanese song writers actually uses very similar music techniques. I don't know if it's cultural, but the underlying tone hasn't changed very much through the last 10 years... Mumei's Mumei is always a good song to listen to. But if you're looking for slower songs, Ninomae Ina's is pretty good too.

This song was one of the biggest letdown on the album with all the hype it received. It was supposed to be the "Main" track. But felt the track was so uninspired and unpolished. So I'm glad I am not alone in that feeling.

I'm sorry, I love frozen yogurt. Please don't post a 1h expose next year on why fro-yo is an abomination. I don't know if I'd survive.

template was composed by tatsuya kitani who also did her trail on the celestial sphere, 2 very different songs tonally but just proves how skilled he is. i have to imagine that he's happy suisei didn't quit after her trail on the celestial sphere and he got another chance to write a song for her

The final product sounds pretty Yoasobi-ish enough for me 😂😂😂😂 Wonder how that stands up to the YT algorithm, would it be struck for copyright?

I've always felt his songs sounded the exact same but THANK YOU for the analysis and putting it into words

Oof

ive had the absolute luck to have michizure be the very first ayase song i've ever heard 😂the second one was idol, which is one of the most distinct as you've pointed out i have no music theory knowledge at all (and slowly absorbing yours via these vods, rly looking forward to my fav true girls show!) but when i checked out other ayase songs after listening to those first two a bunch i could tell immediately how similar they were, and seeing it dissected here was mindblowing! now, for my Opinions(tm): -the brass in michizure doesnt sound 'plasticky' to me, just... distant, far in the background, so a lot of the lows get lost? i think they're very expressive but mostly sits back so suisei's vocals can sit very nicely on top of everything; also, now with having seen ayase songs be strung and laid out like this, i think suisei's vocal take for michizure really lets her personal flair shine through, so now i appreciate it even more -the key changes in mister actually sounds like a progression to me (my very first time listening to it here) and i just gave it a full listen... a song about a robot apparently? so the jarring key changes does serve to fit the lyrics (it drops right as it's revealed that the girl is a robot, 'my mechanical heart'), and the instruments and singing feeling like it's very precise and stilted in a way does fit the theme... then again i am a dissonant melodies enjoyer -re: music industry, it's definitely the reality of 'comissioning art for commercial purposes', with deadlines to meet and a 'strong identity' required to market... i went through the 'lets produce a brand -> well that limits me to this and this and i wont be able to do that -> ah f* it lets just go indie' circle of hell myself, now on to the circle (currently practicing guitar to get good enough to record) i'm in HSH if you'd like to chat about music analysis!

I have listen to the drum part for the longest time and TIL the bass drum are on 2 and 4 I always thought of it as the bass drum part were doing slow 4/4 with snare on the upbeat of 4 every 2 measures 😂 The analysis on the stress is so interesting. Also the drum part at the slow part had irregular tempo for hi-hats and the bass and snare rhythm are dragged longer with 2 different set of rhythm. So many cool parts about the song.

I'm very happy that after all this time, I've found someone who really reacts to their music. Still waiting for part 2, try reacting to their live concert in 2010. There are 3 songs that they performed live and they actually played the instruments. Pure-pure Heart, U&i, and Fuwa-fuwa time with an adjusted tempo or slightly slower than the studio version or cassette tape. Pure-pure Heart = ruclips.net/video/JGaaSoqrLDI/видео.htmlsi=LACmJbFFsq2LAi7o U&i = ruclips.net/video/bIwkxU7iW-w/видео.htmlsi=Dxr_1Fj9QBmWwI7C Fuwa Fuwa Time = ruclips.net/video/x5JCVdS1Y-8/видео.htmlsi=UgkwNhAsThjbhYZr Come With Me 2010 live concert in full Disc 1 = ruclips.net/video/7fwAWsQFsfE/видео.htmlsi=OoRzmuVYrfChBgUZ Disc 2 = ruclips.net/video/OWzK4lQ6JCc/видео.htmlsi=TF69ek7FFdzlfPRU

I was wondering why I could almost instantly recognize that it was Ayase who composed something, it just has this certain flavor that kept being added in every single one of his songs. Because of this video, I now know why lmaoooo. Thanks for the analysis!

Huh, you did not react to the MV or the First Take version.

She did a first take for this song, you might have heard that.

For Michizure I was just digging the drum and the big band vibe. Completely unaware how any why so many YOASOBI songs sound the same. I just went to listen the beginning of Yuusha and immediately burst out laughing from hearing the rhythm 😂 I do remember Michizure wasn't an instant hit to me and took a while before I want to go back to listen to it once or twice, unlike TEMPLATE and GHOST which immediately got me hooked. Thank you for the insight as always.

She also sang this one on the First Take after she did Stellar Stellar.

Not that I’m someone who would ever notice these things on a conscious level but I guess the upside of not listening to anything Yoasobi is that Michizure is still unique to me as a listener lol

'Why Every Yoasobi Song Sounds The Same' this just makes me think about some1 pointing out these songs to me : What an amazing swing /Tsunomaki Watame , korone doggy god's street and okayu`s Orange parade. Pretty much being the exact same song with different lyrics. why not try and check those out xD

THE GOAT IS BACK AT IT AGAIN! Love your reactions, super informative and very chill. Please do more Holo Songs reactions, they're pretty dope!

Interesting. I always enjoyed Michizure, but I haven't heard that many Yoasobi songs either. It's kinda funny to see such a different reaction to the song.

I hadn't noticed how similar Yoasobi songs were until listening to your explanation. But when you played Ayase (by Ayase), I was interchangeably singing Michizure and Yoru ni Kakeru on top of the melody haha. Very interesting analysis as usual.

I love Gunjou (the first song that made me look out for Yoasobi songs), and enjoy other Ayase songs before Kaibutsu and Idol i.e. when every hit anime gotta have an opening by Yoasobi . But lacking any musical understanding, I just attribute my dislike for Kaibutsu or Idol to my feeling that Ikura voice doesn't really fit these songs.

The first time I heard Yasobi/Ayase was watching anime and I liked it, but over time Yasobi began to appear in more and more animes and the more I listened to his music, the more boring and long his songs became for me. Unfortunately Michizure is no exception and I found it boring and long to listen to. Thanks to your analysis I think I understand why I don't like this song very much. I really like how you express your analysis in a way that someone who doesn't know much about music as me can understand. (sorry if the English is poor, I'm still learning)

Hey! did you know that Moona Hoshinova has been releasing three new original songs since the last time you reacted to her? Here's the list: “Who’s Toxic? It’s You!”, “Taut Hati,” and “DEJAVU.” Each of these tracks has a different styles to one another. I would love to see you react to some more of Moona's songs and also give your thoughts on it.

Very amused that I watched for a reaction and end up sitting through a class of how to make an ayase-like song and i enjoyed it :D Personally, i like yoasobi songs because they are usually quick paced and until you pointed out, it didn't occur to me how similar they were.

Great analysis as always, and very educational! I hadn't listened to enough Ayase songs to notice the sameness, and without that knowledge I'd say Michizure is a decent track but not the strongest on the album. However, when you played the clips back-to-back the "Ayase flavor" became super obvious, and halfway through your song creation process I couldn't help but hear parts of Michizure in several of the examples.

Hai raven, i like every your reaction and analysis of holo songs. 💯 It's always fair. But have you heard pleiades from subaru? I like to recomend it to you it's a banger. 🔥 And if i can add some is, Oh Asmara from Kobo. These two have same energy that maybe your like kind of music. 😁 Thanks for your reaction and analysis. 💯💯

This might be my favorite music analysis of yours so far. I always had similar feelings towards Ayase songs, but I never had the musical understanding to explain why. I feel like you helped me understand why I feel the way I do towards his music.

I personally find Ayase's template catchy so even though it's basically the same song, unless you are a musically trained to listen, you forget the previous song fast enough that it falls within the easy listening category.

Silencio, comenzó mi novela 🚬

I'm so excited to watch your reactions and analysis of Debutante Ball and Aseta Hanamidori, they're my favorites in this album!

As much as I enjoy Ayase's songs, I do get Yoasobi fatigue and I think you explained it why

Kept us waiting huh? Well worth it though. Hope all is good with you. Can't wait to see the rest of the videos. And of course Suisei would be fine dropping off a building, she is the center of gravity after all.

8:44 honestly thats kind of explain what that itchy feeling that i feel bout this kind of song its all on the bakery jokes aside, love the way you explain it.

I like Michizure, but mostly because I kinda like the techniques that Yoasobi abuses. Just a matter of personal taste honestly. If you like it every new Yoasobi song is awesome because they are all similar.
