This is sooo beautiful song about bae's past and present, all os the creatures and animals that you see in the color section are all the mascots od all the Hololive members be it jp, English or Indonesia, she included all of them, even the retired ones and that is another reason she is a beautiful cover because is showing what deem respect and love she have for all her senpai's and genmates ♥️
Bae is literally chaos, her music is a good example, when she releases a new song you don't know if you're going to get a fun gremlin singing or you're going to get complete pure talent that hits you like a truck
Bae is in general extremely underrated as a singer. All of her covers deserves a lot more attention. highly recommend checking out her solo covers of Hontou No Oto and Dawn as well as her duet cover of Blooming on the mud with Towa. Her singing style is generally deeper register emotional songs showing off her range. Hopefully she will gain some more attention after 4th fes and her 3D debut.
This song is _huge_ in so many ways. Its sheer length makes it unusual already, breaking the standard 3-4 minute "radio" format. But it and the MV are so well paced that you don't notice how much time passed until you realize that it's already over. Not only did Bae get some of Hololive's top vocal talents to chime in for the chorus (check the song's description for the full list), the colorful part of the MV that follows it also features/references _EVERY_ talent active under the Hololive banner by the time of its release (plus the shadow of a dragon, carrying someone on her shoulder) - starting with the EN girls as little fairies, over "Gamers" in their animal forms, HoloStars, into a wild mix of JP and ID talents across several scenes... There are _SO MANY_ references in those ~30ish seconds, it's crazy. The video also marks the "ascension" of a fan animator into an official project. *AliceMagic* is fairly well known in the Holo EN fandom for their amusingly random and very expressive animated shorts - often involving voice clips of the girls put into new context. -They're also pretty obvious about their fetish, which tends to be a core component of these videos...- And then of course there's Bae's voice. Her musical releases are mood whiplash incarnate. This is her fourth release, coming right off the heels of her original "Play Dice", which was preceded by the covers "Happy Halloween" and "Hontou no Oto" - which make for an up & down of happy-go-lucky bangers and slow melancholic ballads, honoring her lore as Chaos incarnate... Not only does Bae have an amazing voice, the huge range of _mood_ and _character_ she can embody so naturally is what truly makes her great.
Bae is so underrated sadly... her Cover of Blooming in the Mud is something you must see, It is a duo Cover with Towa! It sadly gets outvoted in the Twitch votes, but its definetly worthy!
Glad you enjoyed it, Bae's one of the most diverse in styles - she did Play Dice which you checked out before which was pure chaos and then she can do this. Her voice is versatile enough that she's even created her own mini visual novel series where she voices six or so different characters before. In terms of views I think it's more to do with the pace and length of the song, as Play Dice got a lot more. Typically slower, longer songs don't generate the same view count even if they're as beautiful as this one. Really hope her duet with Towa Blooming in the Mud is voted for in the near future because that is a vocal masterclass from both of them. It moved me which is notoriously hard to do.
You're one of the most genuine reactors I've ever seen. never have I felt like you were putting on a show for the camera. I love when someone has the bravery to cry on camera simply because of the beauty of something. I love watching you, and you have a beautiful soul. Never change.
Bae spoke about this song in an after-premier stream and brought up how after showing this video to Irys, Irys commented on How that crystal looked like her crystal from her first Song MV (I think it was Caesure of despair) which Bae was surprised at since both she and the animator had not thought of that as an idea or as a reference to Irys since she is featured in the segment with the other members (though it would have fit thematically given Irys represents hope as part of her character lore). Also, this mv or her recent one with Towa were part of her goals for that year.
Bae's stylistic range is so good. She can sing the high-energy stuff just as well as she can sing the really heavily emotional stuff. The chorus in this is absolutely stacked too, consisting of Tokino Sora (Hololive member #1, the OG of Hololive), Suisei, Towa, Watame, Risu, IRyS, and Amelia Watson plus three members of Holostars JP (the Japanese branch of the male side of Hololive): Hanasaki Miyabi, Astel Leda, and Kageyama Shien. Like, I'd challenge you to find a more stacked chorus. Bae did an incredible job putting this ensemble together, from her vocals to some of the best vocalists in HoloPro. The animation is also so, so good especially when you get to the color part at the end. There are literally references to EVERY Hololive member including past members like Coco (the dragon in the sky), and it chokes me up every time I watch it. It's so good!
My hope is, that the Festival in March will show a lot of People how much of an amazing Singer Bae is, the same for Anya from the ID Branch, both are so good at singing but their Covers are so underrated.
I love Bae and yes, not too many views is because she is one of "smaller" Vtuber but with gorgeous voice ( and her voice has a rly wide range) and with big yet chaotic voice. This song made my drop some tears back then and now it did it again. She and Towa are for sure my number 1. That's why I recommend another beautiful song covered by Bae and Towa "Blooming in the Mud" ^^
As I first listened to the song, I was literally crying. This song, the performance of Baelz, the instrumental all together made tge probably most emotional song you can get. Hakos Baelz the embodiment of the concept "Chaos" truly fits her character. She is so talented yet underrated. She plays herself down a lot as well as that is what I see. Then I look at her 2 completely different songs "A million miles away" and "Play Dice" and think that it is all in her mind. If she would do more songs like that she would be just as popular as Suisei or Calli in my opinion. But I am just rambling. If you truly read all this thanks.
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS!!!!!! This cover is wonderful!!! I'm glad you enjoyed this. The ending has a lot of easter eggs and references to other Hololive Members, even those that aren't there anymore.
Agreed. Bae and her music are way underappreciated. That’s true of a number of Holo mems though sadly. Speaking of Holo Mems, since you seemed curious, the description of the video does list out who specifically was singing during the orb chorus, and it’s quite the line up. For starters, you may have been able to discern there were male voices in the mix-those would be three HoloStars members, Miyabi, Astel and Shien. For the girls included, from JP Bae enlisted Sora, Suisei, Towa and Watame-which as you know by now are four of the heaviest hitters she could have asked. To put it even more over the edge, from Holo ID Risu was included, as were two Holo EN members. The first of those makes sense for wrangling the best singers in Hololive and especially for Bae-IRyS, who if you don’t know is one of the Holo mems Bae is closest to (the running joke being they are or were married); note in the video, when the mini-Holo member fairies come up to greet her, the little IRyS is the focus. The final chorus member is the weirdest selection as it is one whom, though she has improved a lot and recently released a super fun original, is definitely not considered to be of the same caliber as the others as far as vocal ability goes-Amelia Watson.
Always proud of Bae. Not only her amazing vocals, that gets me to tears. But the animation, and the representation of every hologirl by the end ❤ I really don't know how is not one of the most watched MVs in holo
I've been waiting for this one. This has such a special place in my heart, it solidified that Bae is just my favorite member of hololive. She's so hardworking and I just respect her so much. When she puts out any music like covers or her originals, it's always so good. She's super versatile and it's amazing how she uses her voice
From top to bottom (singing, MV, composition, etc.) this goes beyond the expectations of many people. But since you have listen to Bae's singing you know what she is capable of. Bae herself did request this song to cover, it's one she personally likes and resonates with on an emotional level (you get that if you paid attention to the lyrics) Almost 5 minutes of Bae singing by herself and then the chorus in the later harmonies truly elevated the song to amazing levels. A stunning performance, as fans we were spoiled. *Also Fun Fact* : Bae said that it wasn't intentional that the crystal at the beginning refers to Irys. But we know those two too well, plus in the context of the song it's obviously Hope. It's not that she's underrated (for me, she is definitely in the top 3 singers of all the girls in the EN branch, alongside Irys and Gura) but more that she is overshadowed by more highlighted/popular talents (like Gura or Calli). She is no less talented.
Actually Luke, the distance between Aki's hips and this song is much shorter than you might think. Aki is a huge fan of the film Belle and covered 2 songs from it on her last live Rose from the Lamp.
That this song hits as hard emotionally as it does is both a testament to Bae's skill as a singer and how emotionally resonant the original song is. If you aren't familiar with the anime film "Belle," this song is sung by the female lead at the climax having using her real appearance instead of her full dive VR avatar. The part that the other holo members sing in the cover is emotionally sung in response by practically the entirety of the user base of the VR service in support of the female lead. I would love to post a link to the clip, but for the life of me I can't find it.
I don't tend to watch Hololive cover songs and stick to their originals, but I happened to catch this one as it premiered and I'm so glad I did. The entire song is beautiful, but the part that really got me is the pan up to the dragon flying past the sun watching over everyone. All of the various creatures and in some cases objects in the final segment of the song represent the various Hololive members. The dragon is of course for Coco and I was so pleasantly surprised to see her included. Coco left Hololive a few months before Bae even debuted but her impact on the company has been impossible to forget. She is and likely always will be my favorite Hololive talent.
Your reaction to this song made me smile. Thank you for reacting to Bae here. This video is not well known sadly. I was stunned hearing and seeing this video for the first time.
This cover is beautiful and Bae really did an amazing song with this. The original song is from a movie called Belle, which I haven't seen myself, but heard a few songs and all of these songs were amazing. A little fun fact about the MV: The video contains references to every single Holomember (both Hololive and Holostars, the male group) that were active at the release of this video and even some members that were already gone. Certainly something to go back to, when you know everyone. Talking about Holostars, I really want to recommend the male group, because they are absolutely amazing as well. I suggest the song "We Are The Holostars", which contains the remaining 9 members from the original three generations and showcases a good amount of their vocal capabilities. I hope you'll give them a shot soon.
Please listen to "Blooming in the Mud" by Baelz and Towa. Both of them are at full power singing in that song which is really awesome as Bae is actually one of the few members of Hololive that can keep up with Towa's powerhouse of a voice.
In all honesty, the reason it doesn’t have more views is unfortunately probably due to the length of the video. Most people weirdly won’t listen to longer songs even when they are willing to watch other youtube videos for hours on end. I agreed that it is an amazing song. Despite being a cover, it almost feels tailor-made for how a lot of Hololive members have described their lives before and after joining.
I think this song has fewer views than other hololive songs because it's more of an experience than the other songs. Reflect, Violet, Red, Live Again, and even Bae's other songs all have a replayability that this doesn't, they're catchier with choruses that you can dance along to, but this song hits so much harder than those other great tracks. As much as I love this song for making me feel something and it's beautiful animation and vocals, it's not something on my playlist when listening to songs while doing other things.
A month or two ago I recommended reacting to Bae's songs - Play dice and this song.. to show contrast between songs she can do.. I am so happy and blessed now that you reacted to both of them.. I'm so happy you loved this song so much, as much as I loved it. Thank you and thank community on twitch who managed to get tie between this and howling.. Thank you
I'm so glad you reacted to this. Don't worry, I absolutely teared up listening to this too, the first time around. Hell, I teared up watching your reaction now.
I am a big tough guy, I lift heavy things for fun and am typically cold and analytical. I am incapable of making it all the way through this song without crying.
Well, we're finally here Time to get the tissues Since you uploaded today both Towa and Bae, react to the cover of Blooming in the Mud from both of them!
Strange, I never got notified of this video until now. Bae is VERY quickly skyrocketing to become my favourite Hololive member. Her passion, her talent and her ambition are utterly insane. This song was a collation of everything she is. The fact she's Calli's "sister" is true in every sense that she has that same insane work ethic Calli does. Hell the girl is currently working on multiple projects, preparing for the 4th Festival, doing dance lessons, streaming EVERY SINGLE DAY in February as part of her FeBAErary month, she has two covers with IRyS that just came out for Valentine's Day, AND her birthday stream at the end of the month all to plan and work on. She's an incredibly fun streamer to watch, she interacts a lot with her chat, plenty of teasing back and forth, is incredibly fun and creative with her stream ideas and generally tries to collab and get along with everyone, even the Holostars boys who she's a big fan of. She doesn't shy away from that divide between the two branches, even when she gets a bit of stick for it from some people, which I respect. Vocally she's shown with her Blooming in the Mud cover that she can match Towa's power. Let that sink in. She matched TOWA'S power. She can sing beautiful ballads like this, and she can also do fast paced songs and raps like her original song Play Dice. She will be one of the biggest Hololive singers as she gains more experience, mark my words. I plan to be there to see every second of it. My advice, keep your eye on her.
Seeing you fight the tears is reminding me of my friend and I sitting in the theater watching this movie. This song and scene was so impactful. It was beautiful
Part of the reason why this video isn’t as viewed is not just because Bae is a newer Hololive member but also because it’s a cover of a song from an anime movie called Belle. So people are more likely to just listen and watch the original version than her cover of it. Also not everyone in Hololive was doing the background chours, if you check the video description you will see a list of everyone from Hololive that helped along with the other credits for making the video. There’s also a link to the original version of the song Bae covered as well too. Basically you should read the video descriptions more often after reacting to a video to get more information not mentioned in the video itself.
I just got myself in the Hololive rabbit hole this last December due to Bae and I just got more emotional listening to this song the more I know about Hololive. Try Blooming in the Mud that she sang along with Towa.
Bae really has one of my favorite voices in all of Hololive. Not just for singing, but just her speaking is a constant joy to listen to too. Never know what to expect from the chaos rat either. Keeps surprising us!
She's going to blow everyone away during the 4th Fes soon and she deserves this moment. The duality between her being a chaotic gremlin and her releasing a voice like this is just insane.
From what I've been told by others, Bae seems to have polarised some potential followers by her age. Officially her age is "roll a dice" but she has started stating that she's 12 years old. 12 as in 12 billion, but also because her birthday is February 29, so she only gets older once every four years. Its also because she's a zoomer and has that mental age, but some people take one look at that and see a problem. In case people who didn't know this start worrying about her actual age, she drives and drinks legally IRL, and that's all you need to know. "Blooming in the Mud" is another recommended song, "Hontou no Oto" is the first cover she did that demonstrated she could sing like this, and for a complete tonal shift, I recommend "Strange". Bae is celebrating her birthmonth again this year, streaming every day. She has another cover song coming up, and on the 28th she will be dropping her 2nd original song.
I really enjoy Bae as a streamer quite a lot, but I hadn't seen this yet. I'll definitely go give her some views on it and add it to my likes! Maybe it's because Play Dice wasn't really my thing, I had no Idea she could sing like this! This is right up my alley!
Man you reacted to AKI!?!?!?! she's one of my top 4 holomem that I watch(Mio,Aki,Ina,Kaela) sad I can't watch it live and that there's no vod but hope you upload something from her in teh near future. subscribed, waiting for it
The "crystal" motif appears in many Hololive materials, such as Towa's "Palette" video, which is also one of the songs about a personal journey to becoming oneself. A game in the video is to identify all the Hololive members in the colourful animation sequence!
We all know how amazing talented are the girls but can we stop for a moment and think how talented is the group of people in charge of the recruitment? These people have a touch to select this amazing girls. XD
Not many have said it, but this version is a cover of a song from the movie "Belle". The music from the movie is amazing, just like this cover. I recommend reacting to both the original Japanese and English versions of this song as well, or even the movie considering how underrated it was.
Hard to believe this is the same little chaos rat that sang "Play Dice", isn't it? Bae is an amazing performer and streamer! I was one of the people who kept screaming at you to react to this song, and every time I did, I warned you to have tissues ready! 😂 Now you owe it to yourself to also react to Bae's cover of "Hontou no Oto" (also will require tissues), and "Happy Halloween" (her very first cover) as a palette cleanser to be reminded that she is not just a diva, she's also just a tiny chaos rat! Forgot to mention that once the color returns, pretty much EVERY item, object, animal, anything you see is a little Easter egg for the fans as the chad animator (the amazing Alice Magic) put in a reference to EVERY SINGLE Hololive and Holostars member both past and present! Additional Recommendations: "Shallys" by Aki Rosenthal is an absolute MUST "Hinotori" by Takanashi Kiara "4BLOOD" by Takanashi Kiara "The Narrow Way" by Amane Kanata (A male/female duet with herself) "The Hololive MEDDLIE" by Kureiji Ollie
Man everytime I see the dragon. o7 As others have said, the ending of the song has every single holopro talent at that current time. As well as the retired ones Also any chance you can react to HoloX’s Chloe’s song, Marionette?
I was there when this song first premiered, and everyone was crying. If you hadn't paused the video when you started crying, I was going to start crying again.
I think a reason for the few views (which currently by coincident is almost a 1 to 1 to her subs) at least in part is due to a low number of replays. This song demands your attention for the whole duration and beyond to reflect on what you just witnessed. It's not something one just casually throws on for background listening, while voice chatting or gaming or doing chores. Also Bae is incredible. She rivals Ollie in just how supportive she is, is an amazing vocalist (acting and singing) and yet when she streams she's incredibly down to earth and seems easy to approach.
Gonna have to Second this! I think he's seen enough of the featured holomembers to recognize most of them, and the few he won't will help lead him further down the rabbit hole!
I would second this... but given that fully appreciating the "medllie" depends on knowing the source material, it helps to have seen all of the songs used in it first... currently we are at 6 reactions out of the 36 songs referenced. So quite a way to go...
Idk why the backing chorus being other Hololive girls hit me harder than how it goes in the film. Feel like what it was there would be more impactful. The animation was just an extra gut punch. Let me explain. In the vid you see directly or a reference to girls that "graduated" from Hololive (either stopped streaming for some reasons or left the agency) seeing them in this... with this song?! Yeah My heart was not ready 😢😢😢
I've never heard a singer who could truly make me think that they have the voice of a goddess not only because of how good they are a singer, but from the very tone of her voice as well Truly a voice of incredible beauty, ironically attached to the a rat who is supposed to be the embodiment of chaos Of course some of this is due to song choice, audio processing and such, but there undoubtedly has to be something in her voice to create this
I'm really surprised that Bae is still under 700k subs. She's very active, her streams are really varied, she does podcasts, gaming, she used to do "rate my ..." kind of videos which she would do drunk, yet she's not yet beat the 1 million mark, and she speaks a bucketload of languages, including Korean and Japanese. I wonder if YT is not really promoting her videos or something, like they used to do with Sana because of the hashtag she used for her streams...
This song is from the movie called ryū to sobakasu no hime or belle in short english. I really recommend you to watch it as it is kind of a musical movie inspired on beauty and the beast. While the Japanese version is so good already. It has an english dub that is if not, on par with the original voice. Thank you for the reaction as always luke!!
I think people are not as interested in watching an 8 minute video/song unfortunately, that can only be the reason why it has so "little" amount of views. They are F'n missing out, because this is one of the best works to come out of Hololive.
You asked why that video doesn't have more views -- you should watch Belle and see if you don't cry even harder for the original scene. The movie has its flaws, but that scene is unbelievable. Great reaction!
Bae's cover is excellent. I would really also recommend checking out the original version of this from the anime film "Belle" - though I'm not sure if there is a good upload of the scene on RUclips. The film's visuals are incredible and this is such an emotional climax of the movie, and the original singer Kaho Nakamura is just incredible
You need to watch the movie this song is from "BELLE" that movie broke me, such an amazingly emotional masterpiece, I bought 3 different editions of that movie that's how much I fell in love with it, also went and saw it 5 times at the cinema.
Such a different song from Play Dice, Bae sung an amazing cover, I really recommend other songs from the original movie it came from Belle. Gutted that movie didn’t win awards for its soundtrack

This is sooo beautiful song about bae's past and present, all os the creatures and animals that you see in the color section are all the mascots od all the Hololive members be it jp, English or Indonesia, she included all of them, even the retired ones and that is another reason she is a beautiful cover because is showing what deem respect and love she have for all her senpai's and genmates ♥️
Watch the original if you can. You'll understand the "silent" period before the coros
Bae is literally chaos, her music is a good example, when she releases a new song you don't know if you're going to get a fun gremlin singing or you're going to get complete pure talent that hits you like a truck
Amber is finally popular in the comments let's go!
'a fun gremlin singing' 😂
Bae is in general extremely underrated as a singer. All of her covers deserves a lot more attention. highly recommend checking out her solo covers of Hontou No Oto and Dawn as well as her duet cover of Blooming on the mud with Towa. Her singing style is generally deeper register emotional songs showing off her range. Hopefully she will gain some more attention after 4th fes and her 3D debut.
Oh thank you! After this performance I am so excited to hear more of her songs!!
This song is _huge_ in so many ways.
Its sheer length makes it unusual already, breaking the standard 3-4 minute "radio" format. But it and the MV are so well paced that you don't notice how much time passed until you realize that it's already over.

There are _SO MANY_ references in those ~30ish seconds, it's crazy.
The video also marks the "ascension" of a fan animator into an official project. *AliceMagic* is fairly well known in the Holo EN fandom for their amusingly random and very expressive animated shorts - often involving voice clips of the girls put into new context. -They're also pretty obvious about their fetish, which tends to be a core component of these videos...-
And then of course there's Bae's voice. Her musical releases are mood whiplash incarnate. This is her fourth release, coming right off the heels of her original "Play Dice", which was preceded by the covers "Happy Halloween" and "Hontou no Oto" - which make for an up & down of happy-go-lucky bangers and slow melancholic ballads, honoring her lore as Chaos incarnate... Not only does Bae have an amazing voice, the huge range of _mood_ and _character_ she can embody so naturally is what truly makes her great.
The moment you played the video, the thought that went through my head was "oh, sweet boy, you're so not ready for this..."
Bae is so underrated sadly...
her Cover of Blooming in the Mud is something you must see, It is a duo Cover with Towa!
It sadly gets outvoted in the Twitch votes, but its definetly worthy!
I will absolutely be reacting to more and that one!!! 🔥
@@GOTGames Glad to hear that, reading the Subtitles of the song is very important!!! 🔥
Just in case you missed it, all the little animals and the ufo and the dragon in the later part of the video represent many various Hololive members!
Holostars as well
🥹❤️
Glad you enjoyed it, Bae's one of the most diverse in styles - she did Play Dice which you checked out before which was pure chaos and then she can do this. Her voice is versatile enough that she's even created her own mini visual novel series where she voices six or so different characters before.
In terms of views I think it's more to do with the pace and length of the song, as Play Dice got a lot more. Typically slower, longer songs don't generate the same view count even if they're as beautiful as this one.
Really hope her duet with Towa Blooming in the Mud is voted for in the near future because that is a vocal masterclass from both of them. It moved me which is notoriously hard to do.
That duet is very high on my list! I cannot wait to hear it!!
I doubt he’s seen it but this song was from a recent anime movie Belle. I cried three times seeing it in theaters, this was its main song
Just looking back at that scene and listening to such song made me cry so hard the first time...
I haven't seen it but would like to?
You're one of the most genuine reactors I've ever seen. never have I felt like you were putting on a show for the camera. I love when someone has the bravery to cry on camera simply because of the beauty of something. I love watching you, and you have a beautiful soul. Never change.
You are so kind! Thank you! 🥹❤️❤️❤️
This song had me in tears when it premiered, glad to hear it again! I can't understand a single word in it and it still has me in tears
Bae spoke about this song in an after-premier stream and brought up how after showing this video to Irys, Irys commented on How that crystal looked like her crystal from her first Song MV (I think it was Caesure of despair) which Bae was surprised at since both she and the animator had not thought of that as an idea or as a reference to Irys since she is featured in the segment with the other members (though it would have fit thematically given Irys represents hope as part of her character lore).

Bae's stylistic range is so good. She can sing the high-energy stuff just as well as she can sing the really heavily emotional stuff. The chorus in this is absolutely stacked too, consisting of Tokino Sora (Hololive member #1, the OG of Hololive), Suisei, Towa, Watame, Risu, IRyS, and Amelia Watson plus three members of Holostars JP (the Japanese branch of the male side of Hololive): Hanasaki Miyabi, Astel Leda, and Kageyama Shien. Like, I'd challenge you to find a more stacked chorus. Bae did an incredible job putting this ensemble together, from her vocals to some of the best vocalists in HoloPro. The animation is also so, so good especially when you get to the color part at the end. There are literally references to EVERY Hololive member including past members like Coco (the dragon in the sky), and it chokes me up every time I watch it. It's so good!
You are not wrong that line up for the chorus is insane!!!
You already heard her Play Dice. Her song variety very wide.
She reached strong Towa's voice in duet with her "Blooming in the Mud"
My hope is, that the Festival in March will show a lot of People how much of an amazing Singer Bae is, the same for Anya from the ID Branch, both are so good at singing but their Covers are so underrated.
Which festival? I didn't heard about it.

💯💯🔥
I love Bae and yes, not too many views is because she is one of "smaller" Vtuber but with gorgeous voice ( and her voice has a rly wide range) and with big yet chaotic voice. This song made my drop some tears back then and now it did it again. She and Towa are for sure my number 1. That's why I recommend another beautiful song covered by Bae and Towa "Blooming in the Mud" ^^
I was tearing from the start of the song... I listened to this on release... I got so emotional on this one and your reaction was amazing! =D
As I first listened to the song, I was literally crying. This song, the performance of Baelz, the instrumental all together made tge probably most emotional song you can get. Hakos Baelz the embodiment of the concept "Chaos" truly fits her character. She is so talented yet underrated. She plays herself down a lot as well as that is what I see.

If she would do more songs like that she would be just as popular as Suisei or Calli in my opinion. But I am just rambling. If you truly read all this thanks.
How crazy is it the contrast to her wild energetic song 'Play Dice' to this? I forgot how emotionally heavy this song is.
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS!!!!!! This cover is wonderful!!! I'm glad you enjoyed this. The ending has a lot of easter eggs and references to other Hololive Members, even those that aren't there anymore.
Agreed. Bae and her music are way underappreciated. That’s true of a number of Holo mems though sadly.
Speaking of Holo Mems, since you seemed curious, the description of the video does list out who specifically was singing during the orb chorus, and it’s quite the line up. For starters, you may have been able to discern there were male voices in the mix-those would be three HoloStars members, Miyabi, Astel and Shien. For the girls included, from JP Bae enlisted Sora, Suisei, Towa and Watame-which as you know by now are four of the heaviest hitters she could have asked. To put it even more over the edge, from Holo ID Risu was included, as were two Holo EN members. The first of those makes sense for wrangling the best singers in Hololive and especially for Bae-IRyS, who if you don’t know is one of the Holo mems Bae is closest to (the running joke being they are or were married); note in the video, when the mini-Holo member fairies come up to greet her, the little IRyS is the focus. The final chorus member is the weirdest selection as it is one whom, though she has improved a lot and recently released a super fun original, is definitely not considered to be of the same caliber as the others as far as vocal ability goes-Amelia Watson.
Always proud of Bae.
Not only her amazing vocals, that gets me to tears.
But the animation, and the representation of every hologirl by the end ❤ I really don't know how is not one of the most watched MVs in holo
Bae seriously keeps surprising me. I was overwhelmed the first time I heard her sing in this style, too. So happy you experienced it, too.
Belle was such an under appreciated movie and Bae did a beautiful job
I've been waiting for this one. This has such a special place in my heart, it solidified that Bae is just my favorite member of hololive. She's so hardworking and I just respect her so much. When she puts out any music like covers or her originals, it's always so good. She's super versatile and it's amazing how she uses her voice
Bae is very criminally underrated.
Facts! She's amazing!
After hearing Play Dice (which is good) this one slapped me in the face (with how different it was and how beautiful her voice is)
From top to bottom (singing, MV, composition, etc.) this goes beyond the expectations of many people. But since you have listen to Bae's singing you know what she is capable of.
Bae herself did request this song to cover, it's one she personally likes and resonates with on an emotional level (you get that if you paid attention to the lyrics)
Almost 5 minutes of Bae singing by herself and then the chorus in the later harmonies truly elevated the song to amazing levels. A stunning performance, as fans we were spoiled.
*Also Fun Fact* : Bae said that it wasn't intentional that the crystal at the beginning refers to Irys. But we know those two too well, plus in the context of the song it's obviously Hope.
It's not that she's underrated (for me, she is definitely in the top 3 singers of all the girls in the EN branch, alongside Irys and Gura) but more that she is overshadowed by more highlighted/popular talents (like Gura or Calli). She is no less talented.
Actually Luke, the distance between Aki's hips and this song is much shorter than you might think. Aki is a huge fan of the film Belle and covered 2 songs from it on her last live Rose from the Lamp.
That this song hits as hard emotionally as it does is both a testament to Bae's skill as a singer and how emotionally resonant the original song is.
If you aren't familiar with the anime film "Belle," this song is sung by the female lead at the climax having using her real appearance instead of her full dive VR avatar. The part that the other holo members sing in the cover is emotionally sung in response by practically the entirety of the user base of the VR service in support of the female lead.
I would love to post a link to the clip, but for the life of me I can't find it.
I don't tend to watch Hololive cover songs and stick to their originals, but I happened to catch this one as it premiered and I'm so glad I did. The entire song is beautiful, but the part that really got me is the pan up to the dragon flying past the sun watching over everyone.
All of the various creatures and in some cases objects in the final segment of the song represent the various Hololive members. The dragon is of course for Coco and I was so pleasantly surprised to see her included. Coco left Hololive a few months before Bae even debuted but her impact on the company has been impossible to forget. She is and likely always will be my favorite Hololive talent.

Your reaction to this song made me smile. Thank you for reacting to Bae here. This video is not well known sadly. I was stunned hearing and seeing this video for the first time.
This cover is beautiful and Bae really did an amazing song with this. The original song is from a movie called Belle, which I haven't seen myself, but heard a few songs and all of these songs were amazing.
A little fun fact about the MV: The video contains references to every single Holomember (both Hololive and Holostars, the male group) that were active at the release of this video and even some members that were already gone. Certainly something to go back to, when you know everyone.
Talking about Holostars, I really want to recommend the male group, because they are absolutely amazing as well. I suggest the song "We Are The Holostars", which contains the remaining 9 members from the original three generations and showcases a good amount of their vocal capabilities. I hope you'll give them a shot soon.
Please listen to "Blooming in the Mud" by Baelz and Towa. Both of them are at full power singing in that song which is really awesome as Bae is actually one of the few members of Hololive that can keep up with Towa's powerhouse of a voice.
Definitely will be listening to that one 💯🔥
Bae's vocal range is absolutely insane. She can be an insane gremlin or channel a voice of a goddess.
In all honesty, the reason it doesn’t have more views is unfortunately probably due to the length of the video. Most people weirdly won’t listen to longer songs even when they are willing to watch other youtube videos for hours on end.
I agreed that it is an amazing song. Despite being a cover, it almost feels tailor-made for how a lot of Hololive members have described their lives before and after joining.
i think it's slightly more that people will listen to a long song once, and put a shorter song on repeat
Loved the references to her JP senpai's, especially to the one's no longer around like Coco.
It's not a song this one more of an experience. Bae is an absolute champ!
I love how you just kinda froze at 1:20 when Bae started singing. Her voice truly hits _different,_ doesn't it?
your reaction is everything i thought it would be
one of the greatest cover's in hololive history.
love you man, you're a real one!
I think this song has fewer views than other hololive songs because it's more of an experience than the other songs. Reflect, Violet, Red, Live Again, and even Bae's other songs all have a replayability that this doesn't, they're catchier with choruses that you can dance along to, but this song hits so much harder than those other great tracks. As much as I love this song for making me feel something and it's beautiful animation and vocals, it's not something on my playlist when listening to songs while doing other things.
I'm voted in Twitch and waiting 15 days to see this reaction.
A month or two ago I recommended reacting to Bae's songs - Play dice and this song.. to show contrast between songs she can do.. I am so happy and blessed now that you reacted to both of them.. I'm so happy you loved this song so much, as much as I loved it. Thank you and thank community on twitch who managed to get tie between this and howling.. Thank you
I'm so glad you reacted to this. Don't worry, I absolutely teared up listening to this too, the first time around. Hell, I teared up watching your reaction now.
I feel like the best song to follow up this one is Tsukumo Sana's Astro Girl.
We really need to bae to see this reaction, think it would make her so happy too see someone get hit so hard by this song! Great reaction!
I watch it at the live premiere, I was crying so hard that time....
I am a big tough guy, I lift heavy things for fun and am typically cold and analytical.
I am incapable of making it all the way through this song without crying.
Well, we're finally here
Time to get the tissues
Since you uploaded today both Towa and Bae, react to the cover of Blooming in the Mud from both of them!
🥹❤️🔥
Strange, I never got notified of this video until now. Bae is VERY quickly skyrocketing to become my favourite Hololive member. Her passion, her talent and her ambition are utterly insane. This song was a collation of everything she is. The fact she's Calli's "sister" is true in every sense that she has that same insane work ethic Calli does.
Hell the girl is currently working on multiple projects, preparing for the 4th Festival, doing dance lessons, streaming EVERY SINGLE DAY in February as part of her FeBAErary month, she has two covers with IRyS that just came out for Valentine's Day, AND her birthday stream at the end of the month all to plan and work on.
She's an incredibly fun streamer to watch, she interacts a lot with her chat, plenty of teasing back and forth, is incredibly fun and creative with her stream ideas and generally tries to collab and get along with everyone, even the Holostars boys who she's a big fan of. She doesn't shy away from that divide between the two branches, even when she gets a bit of stick for it from some people, which I respect.
Vocally she's shown with her Blooming in the Mud cover that she can match Towa's power. Let that sink in. She matched TOWA'S power. She can sing beautiful ballads like this, and she can also do fast paced songs and raps like her original song Play Dice. She will be one of the biggest Hololive singers as she gains more experience, mark my words. I plan to be there to see every second of it. My advice, keep your eye on her.
Seeing you fight the tears is reminding me of my friend and I sitting in the theater watching this movie. This song and scene was so impactful. It was beautiful
if you like this one Hakos baelz and towa's blooming in the mud is also impressive
Definitely coming soon 💯
Part of the reason why this video isn’t as viewed is not just because Bae is a newer Hololive member but also because it’s a cover of a song from an anime movie called Belle. So people are more likely to just listen and watch the original version than her cover of it.
Also not everyone in Hololive was doing the background chours, if you check the video description you will see a list of everyone from Hololive that helped along with the other credits for making the video. There’s also a link to the original version of the song Bae covered as well too.
Basically you should read the video descriptions more often after reacting to a video to get more information not mentioned in the video itself.
I just got myself in the Hololive rabbit hole this last December due to Bae and I just got more emotional listening to this song the more I know about Hololive. Try Blooming in the Mud that she sang along with Towa.
Bae really has one of my favorite voices in all of Hololive. Not just for singing, but just her speaking is a constant joy to listen to too.
Never know what to expect from the chaos rat either. Keeps surprising us!
She's going to blow everyone away during the 4th Fes soon and she deserves this moment.
The duality between her being a chaotic gremlin and her releasing a voice like this is just insane.
im glad yah enjoying the hololive hole. and im here for all of it!
From what I've been told by others, Bae seems to have polarised some potential followers by her age. Officially her age is "roll a dice" but she has started stating that she's 12 years old. 12 as in 12 billion, but also because her birthday is February 29, so she only gets older once every four years. Its also because she's a zoomer and has that mental age, but some people take one look at that and see a problem. In case people who didn't know this start worrying about her actual age, she drives and drinks legally IRL, and that's all you need to know.
"Blooming in the Mud" is another recommended song, "Hontou no Oto" is the first cover she did that demonstrated she could sing like this, and for a complete tonal shift, I recommend "Strange". Bae is celebrating her birthmonth again this year, streaming every day. She has another cover song coming up, and on the 28th she will be dropping her 2nd original song.
as an MV it might be the best holo cover of all time
It's ok this song made me cry too. Love when Bae breaks this out, it's insanely beautiful.
I really enjoy Bae as a streamer quite a lot, but I hadn't seen this yet. I'll definitely go give her some views on it and add it to my likes! Maybe it's because Play Dice wasn't really my thing, I had no Idea she could sing like this! This is right up my alley!
Man you reacted to AKI!?!?!?! she's one of my top 4 holomem that I watch(Mio,Aki,Ina,Kaela) sad I can't watch it live and that there's no vod but hope you upload something from her in teh near future. subscribed, waiting for it
The "crystal" motif appears in many Hololive materials, such as Towa's "Palette" video, which is also one of the songs about a personal journey to becoming oneself.
A game in the video is to identify all the Hololive members in the colourful animation sequence!
We all know how amazing talented are the girls but can we stop for a moment and think how talented is the group of people in charge of the recruitment? These people have a touch to select this amazing girls. XD
I'm so glad you finally got to this song and that you liked it.
Not many have said it, but this version is a cover of a song from the movie "Belle". The music from the movie is amazing, just like this cover. I recommend reacting to both the original Japanese and English versions of this song as well, or even the movie considering how underrated it was.
Oh boy oh boy i have been waiting for this!!
Hakos, actually requested to do this cover and not only did it showcase her incredible range but also the emotion that the song conveys.
Yessssss, I asked for this many times XD
Hard to believe this is the same little chaos rat that sang "Play Dice", isn't it? Bae is an amazing performer and streamer!
I was one of the people who kept screaming at you to react to this song, and every time I did, I warned you to have tissues ready! 😂
Now you owe it to yourself to also react to Bae's cover of "Hontou no Oto" (also will require tissues), and "Happy Halloween" (her very first cover) as a palette cleanser to be reminded that she is not just a diva, she's also just a tiny chaos rat!
Forgot to mention that once the color returns, pretty much EVERY item, object, animal, anything you see is a little Easter egg for the fans as the chad animator (the amazing Alice Magic) put in a reference to EVERY SINGLE Hololive and Holostars member both past and present!
Additional Recommendations:
"Shallys" by Aki Rosenthal is an absolute MUST
"Hinotori" by Takanashi Kiara
"4BLOOD" by Takanashi Kiara
"The Narrow Way" by Amane Kanata (A male/female duet with herself)
"The Hololive MEDDLIE" by Kureiji Ollie
Man everytime I see the dragon. o7
As others have said, the ending of the song has every single holopro talent at that current time. As well as the retired ones
Also any chance you can react to HoloX’s Chloe’s song, Marionette?
I was there when this song first premiered, and everyone was crying. If you hadn't paused the video when you started crying, I was going to start crying again.
I think a reason for the few views (which currently by coincident is almost a 1 to 1 to her subs) at least in part is due to a low number of replays. This song demands your attention for the whole duration and beyond to reflect on what you just witnessed. It's not something one just casually throws on for background listening, while voice chatting or gaming or doing chores.
Also Bae is incredible. She rivals Ollie in just how supportive she is, is an amazing vocalist (acting and singing) and yet when she streams she's incredibly down to earth and seems easy to approach.
Check out Kureiji Ollie, her "hololive special medllie" is amazing even if it is nearly 20 minutes long, it's a mashup of 36 hololive song samples
Gonna have to Second this! I think he's seen enough of the featured holomembers to recognize most of them, and the few he won't will help lead him further down the rabbit hole!
The reaction video of this would be over half an hour....
@@adamaulia1945 My body is ready.
@@adamaulia1945 exactly, half an hour of luke having fun, sounds like a good video
I would second this... but given that fully appreciating the "medllie" depends on knowing the source material, it helps to have seen all of the songs used in it first... currently we are at 6 reactions out of the 36 songs referenced. So quite a way to go...
ty to react to this song a know ist brock you ^^
Idk why the backing chorus being other Hololive girls hit me harder than how it goes in the film. Feel like what it was there would be more impactful.
The animation was just an extra gut punch.
Let me explain. In the vid you see directly or a reference to girls that "graduated" from Hololive (either stopped streaming for some reasons or left the agency)
seeing them in this... with this song?! Yeah My heart was not ready 😢😢😢
I was absolutely waiting for this
Now I really want you to react to the rest of the Belle Movie songs
Animation made by Alice Magic. He doing a lot of hololive fan animations on his channel
i think partially its the length of the song that held it back from getting the views it deserves. one of my favorites
I've never heard a singer who could truly make me think that they have the voice of a goddess
not only because of how good they are a singer, but from the very tone of her voice as well
Truly a voice of incredible beauty, ironically attached to the a rat who is supposed to be the embodiment of chaos
Of course some of this is due to song choice, audio processing and such, but there undoubtedly has to be something in her voice to create this
I'm really surprised that Bae is still under 700k subs. She's very active, her streams are really varied, she does podcasts, gaming, she used to do "rate my ..." kind of videos which she would do drunk, yet she's not yet beat the 1 million mark, and she speaks a bucketload of languages, including Korean and Japanese. I wonder if YT is not really promoting her videos or something, like they used to do with Sana because of the hashtag she used for her streams...
I think you should check more of Belle itself too. It's a treasure box filled with masterpiece music and art.
This song is from the movie called ryū to sobakasu no hime or belle in short english. I really recommend you to watch it as it is kind of a musical movie inspired on beauty and the beast. While the Japanese version is so good already. It has an english dub that is if not, on par with the original voice. Thank you for the reaction as always luke!!
"who are we gonna see in this song?"
"yes"
If you want to hear Bae voice acting skills you can react (probably better on stream) to her video series Baewatch (she has a playlist).
I sometimes listen to this on loop when I am going to sleep
Yeah I've seen the movie twice in Cinema. This cover took me off guard so much I had tears running down my neck 😭
I think people are not as interested in watching an 8 minute video/song unfortunately, that can only be the reason why it has so "little" amount of views. They are F'n missing out, because this is one of the best works to come out of Hololive.
Bae is instantly telented on emotional songs with her crystal-clear voice, please aslo react on her cover "Hontou no Oto"
You need to watch the english one too. They choose the English VA perfectly
I like the cover of this song by MindaRyn alot too. Btw MindaRyn is also the singer of That time I got reincarnated as a slime op4
You asked why that video doesn't have more views -- you should watch Belle and see if you don't cry even harder for the original scene. The movie has its flaws, but that scene is unbelievable. Great reaction!
Bae's cover is excellent. I would really also recommend checking out the original version of this from the anime film "Belle" - though I'm not sure if there is a good upload of the scene on RUclips. The film's visuals are incredible and this is such an emotional climax of the movie, and the original singer Kaho Nakamura is just incredible
You need to watch the movie this song is from "BELLE" that movie broke me, such an amazingly emotional masterpiece, I bought 3 different editions of that movie that's how much I fell in love with it, also went and saw it 5 times at the cinema.
the cover by bae and towa of blooming in the mud is also a great recommendation
Of all the things in this, seeing a certain dragon is what broke me.
Such a different song from Play Dice, Bae sung an amazing cover, I really recommend other songs from the original movie it came from Belle. Gutted that movie didn’t win awards for its soundtrack
This is a cover of the movie Belle, it has beautiful songs, the same or more than this cover, you should react to the original ones qwq
