The beep at 5:41 is Gura saying shindeiru which in Japanese means dead. They tend to beep out words pertaining to violence or death bc suicide rates are really high in Japan.
@@Fighter11244 Ah yeah the latter part, it tickled in the back of my brain lol one neuron was trying to explain to me what you just said. "Her entire PERSONA! What don't you get!?" The rest of my neurons just blinked back stupidly. Thanks for explaining. Fight on
Awesome that you're having fun with this! If you'd like to see this pairing a second time, they have an original song called "Q" Which is lovely and super fun.
Great video. Lot's of covers of King, but I think Callie & Gura really put their own style on it, more than others (who stayed closer to the original). Mature older sister and bratty kid energy - both just having a ball with the song. Two buds kicking it.
When it comes to the credits, they're not inherently specific to vTubers, it's mostly in how one decides to produce their track and MV. In the case of this MV: All of the art (Calli, Gura (and their variants used throughout the video), the backgrounds, etc.) was drawn by LAM. The Music Video (the changing between different pieces of art (such as lighting up the colored side based on who is singing) as well as the lyrics on screen) was done by Calli herself. The song was originally created by kanaria but the specific arrangement of instruments for this version was done by たかはし. The mix of the instrumental and vocals was done by なつめ千秋. Really, that's a reasonably sized team. You need someone to produce/arrange the track and someone to mix it. You need someone to draw the art for the MV and you need someone to put the MV together. You could have people wear multiple hats if you wanted, such as a track producer/arranger who also mixes the track, or an MV maker who creates their own art for the MVs, but each project calls for a different team composition based on circumstances.
Well since you asked for a recommendation for a song. I would suggest ERROR covered by Tokoyami Towa. She was one of my first introductions into the Hololive rabbit hole. And this was before Holo EN was announced. Been blown away by the whole group ever since.
Alright, so I realize last time I apologized for the long comment, but this time it might be quite lengthy, but I'm gonna try to answer as many of your questions as possible. *Anyone who has conflicting knowledge can please correct me. One quick thing is when pronouncing Gawr Gura, people normally just call her Gura, but you can pronounce Gawr as if there is no "w", more or less (Gar). From my understanding, when it comes to Hololive, Nijisanji, or other company/contract based VTubers, they don't always get to choose the model that they use for streaming. They may have some say in certain aspects of the design creation, but its mainly up to the company or artist creating the model. But honestly I believe that is what makes the streamers even more impressive is how they can embrace and completely embody their models and make them their own. Another quick note is the beep that you heard in the video is most likely them censoring the word "Shindeiru", which I believe means "Dead" in Japanese. This was likely not necessarily their decision but the fact that it might've been censored in the original song. Or their Japanese company may have wanted to censor the word. Now, as far as songs go, there are quite a few very good songs across all of the Hololive JP (Japanese) girls, a lot of them have one or two songs that are very catchy or very fun/popular. 1. "Say Fanfare!" by Shirakami Fubuki 2. "Donten Hitsuji" byTsunomaki Watame 3. Nichijou Cover "Hyadain No Joujou Yuujou" by Inugami Korone and Nekomata Okayu 4. "PekoMiko Daisenso!!" by Usada Pekora and Sakura Miko 5. "Ahoy" by Houshou Marine All of these songs, while different are very showing of each of the different personalities of the girls singing them. Weather, remaining positive, being expressive, showing support for others, battling their rivals, or just being a happy, horny, pirate (Ahoy), if you know you know, they are all awesome songs! Like I said, long comment, but I hope you were able to get a lot of possible questions answered, and I'm glad you enjoyed their cover of King, as it is definitely one of the most personality filled renditions. Either way, great video, and can't wait until the next!
As far as the models go, you are largely correct for those companies. They own the models and characters, which is why they disappear after "graduation". The only one I can think of that breaks that mold is Suisei. Her model and character predate her joining Hololive and she insisted they allow her to keep it as a condition of her hiring. She is also an artist that I would gladly recommend her entire catalog for reaction.
Hololive jp you can check out suisei and kanata , their vocal range is insane.For suisei stellar stellar or next color planet .For kanata the narrow way. Every hololive member had their own unique talent ,they all are great.
To answer your question about Vtubers, agency vtubers like Calli and Gura tend to have a measure of physical accuracy, elsewise when they get their 3D model there are issues with rendering their correct size. For instance Calli and Noel both have large breasts. Matsuri has very large and deep-set eyes. Kara's mouth is actually pretty big, etc etc. (Also of note its typically taboo to talk about the person behind the avatar, but for the sake of this message im only mentioning vtubers who have streamed as themselves willingly). Other vtubers, especially independents, dont have this restriction. There is even a vtuber on twitch that is literally just a gun with eyes. If you can design it you can become it. My personal favorite Vtuber, Snuffy, has had several different models over the years ranging from Pink UwU Catgirl, gray stoner raccoon, to flat and athletic cyberpunk girl, to massive mommy milkers, to even a pony in a jar. Vtubing is freedom.
Okay so just some help for ya! Gawr is pronounced more like Gar. I mean it's actually difficult for Westerners to pronounce without being told it multiple times because it has a Japnese inflection that we don't really use in English but Gar is fine! She just goes by Gura tho. In Japan it's family name first, given name second so the reverse of what we're used to. So her name is actually Gura Gawr so that's why she just goes by Gura! Calli and Gura are both insanely talented. All the EN girls are but Calli, Gura and Irys are basically the singers of Hololive EN, that is to say they do the most musical work. Calli and Irys have released multiple songs, Irys and Gura do a ton of karaoke streams and all 3 have released the most music related content out of the EN girls so far! If you see people talking about EN singing, Calli, Gura and Irys will be the names you'd see the most because they're basically always singing/karaoke streaming!
I think you definitly need to add Kiara to the singers of Hololive EN list. She also does a lot of karaoke and has the most original songs and covers after Calli and Irys. Gura really doesn't do much music beside karaoke streams. For comparison Gura has only one original song (and one feat. with Calli) and did this Cover with Calli and one with Kiara (maybe I forgot something, but she definitly didn't release that many songs), while Kiara has three original songs and did a collab cover with every HoloMyth Member and a few solo Covers. And they both are part of the two Holomyth original songs with all members. Sorry for the mistakes I definitly did. English is only my second language.
Yeah. The art for this one is really cool. The artist for this, LAM, actually is the character designer for another Hololive member called Ollie. When it comes to the designs, as another commenter said it’s really more the decision of the company and the character artists they hire, but one interesting thing that does seem to always be dependent on the performer, at least for Hololive, is size. Because Hololive has the talent perform on stage in live shows and probably don’t want to have to constantly rescale everyone, the vtuber character is always the same height as the talent behind them. So for Gura for instance, she really is quite small (4’7”). Calli on the other hand is more of an average height (5’6”). As for JP recommendations, I believe I suggested some Watame songs before. A few others I recommend would be: Ghost by Hoshimachi Suisei The Last Frontier by Hoshimachi Suisei and AZKi Kotonoha by Roboco Shallys by Aki Rosenthal Howling by Ookami Mio Mogu Mogu Yummy by Nekomata Okayu Weather Hackers by Kiryu Coco Madoromi by Amane Kanata and Tokoyami Towa Blue Clapper by Hololive Generation 5 Kiseki Knot by Hololive Generation 4
To try to answer your question about the vtuber designs, the vtuber would commission artist for the model and rigging for the model. Side note: some vtubers will call the model artist and rigger their pseudo parents. If they are in an agency like hololive, then the company might own the rights of the model. If you are independent, so long as you have the license to the model and rigging it's all yours. Just remember you can't steal other models as they are protected by copyright laws. I hope that answered a couple questions of yours. They are basically like any other content creator with a vitural avatar.
I highly recommend you check out Hoshimachi Suisei. She just released a new song today for her birthday called Template. 0:41 Illustration refers to the main concept art for the music video, movie refers to the actual animation, and arrangement refers to the person who did the instrumentals. This is a cover of the original vocaloid song by Kanaria. Tbh, it’s not my favourite cover of this song. I get that they were just having fun with it, but it just didn’t land for me. Also 5:38 they beeped out the word “shi” which means die. That was done in the original as well. The translation of the lyrics there according to the vocaloid wiki is “when you laugh admirably, all of my pain disappears and I’m able to die clumsily”
I love so much how in the art, Calli is only doing the pose with one hand because she's keeping Gura's crown from falling off. Adorable detail :3 Edit: "You. Are. KING." "Oh thank you! :)" oh you are just delightful
I've heard a few covers of King before Calli and Gura gave their take on it. Many wonderful Hololive voices brought different vibes and tune to the same song, but when it comes to Calli, she always puts some sort of a twist and a portion of extra Rap to the covers she does. So you'll know - the english part was not there originally, it's all Calli's doing. And honestly, without that rap I can't watch other covers of King anymore, they don't feel complete! And of course, I can't go without a healthy dose of samegaki (brat-shark) energy that Gura provides aplenty. :D She was the one that came up with whispering layer and boy it gives me shivers every time I hear it. x3 You're gonna LOVE their original duet-song [Q], I'm sure of it. It's just FULL of their energy, badassness, drive and dorkiness bundled together.
To pronounce Gura's name correctly its GAWER GURRA is how you say it. She even says it in her and Calli's Q cuz I figure people keep mispronouncing it a lot. I had a hard time then I finally heard her say it and it stuck finally.
You should check out IronMouse. She’s a vtuber from Vshojo. She has an amazing voice. She has a cover of this song and tons of covers over on Vshojo Sings channel. Check out operatic Mouse first imo.
Good reaction, but man, when reacting to songs do not pause, you're interrupting the intended flow for yourself. That's not the way a song it's meant to be experienced. At least the first time do it in one go, later if you want to address specific parts it's good to go pausing and giving breakdowns.
some japanese songs i would recommend are odo and ussewa. theyre both made by an artist called ado and im pretty sure theyre her most popular songs. if you wanna spice it up a bit tho, loveka is a big favorite of mine
I found this by random as a vtuber fan lol, But Gura is a shark and Calli is a grim reaper, Gura and Calli are in Hololive English Myth group with three more girls with them, They are gen 1 of Hololive English, There is gen 2 of Hololive English called Hololive Council you might see them later on if you want to hear there music from the girls, Btw both of them are American, Calli is fluent in Japanese but lives in Japan, Gura's Japanese is not that good but she is good when she practices for covers and her own music like Reflect :)
In this case. The company tends to ask for designs similar to their actual body types. Gura is small irl and so is her model. Calliope too, she is big. Though as independent vtubers they get a better pick on how their models are designed.
As a nice baby step into Hololive JP people, I'd suggest "Getcha" as covered by Hoshimachi Suisei and Calliope Mori. Suisei is one of the best, if not *the* best vocalist in Hololive JP and she collaborated with Calli for that one.
The artist for this video, LAM, has a characteristic style, with a contrast of colors with gray, wioh worked really well here. The artist behind this song (the original, not this cover, I mean), Kanaria, works with Vocaloid, wich you might know, are synthetic voice banks for digital singing. There's a culture of cover songs, especially with vtubers, where one artists releases a song, and it makes a wave effect with lots of covers, and an increase in originality in the videos and covers. In the case of King, it starts with a 'simple' video wich ends getting a lot of cool video renditions (like Hololive Indonesia Reine's cover with a remix, or PochiMaru's with a really cool 3D video) and over the top vocals (like Nijisanji's Banderas one, or Zen's rap version) For more songs recomendation I'd say: - Kanaria's "Eye" (or covers of it, like Hololive's Tokoyami Towa or Takane Lui) -"Goddish" (covered by Hololive's Murasaki Shion, Laplace Darkness and Kanata&Aqua) -"Error" cover by Towa As for Hololive Originals I'd recomend: -Any Mori Calliope originals (especially "Red" and "Ijimekko Bully") -Tokoyami Towa's “Pallette" -Gawr Gura's “Reflect" Enjoy the music! C:
To answer the question that you ask at roughly 5:00, In some cases in Hololive the talents did have the ability to choose / create the design the character that they would be personifying, but in most cases the design has already been done. Cover (the parent company to Hololive Production), holds auditions for the different branches of HoloLive (JP, Stars [JPs male branch], ID, and EN) to find the one person who will fit the characters perfectly or as perfectly as possible. After the individuals pass through the auditions, they have the ability to make *small* changes to the existing design or suggest changes. But Cover and the artist have all rights to refusing to make those changes. After roughly 6 months or so the newly debuted Hololive talents will get new outfits (such as casual outfits). Those outfits the talents will have more creative control over. A perfect example of the character design and its details already existing would be Gawr Gura. The character is very short. Shorter than 5 ft. She is the 3rd shortest Hololive character. The talent behind Gawr Gura is also short. While we dont know her true height, the stories she has told us suggest that she is very short. Such as security stopping her at the air port because they think she is a child. So that leads us to believe that her height and the height of the character is nearly identical. Matching the height of the character to the height of the talent is also important because all Hololive talents will get 3d models eventually and to avoid 3d rigging scuff, it helps if the talent is the same height and proportions as the model in question.
First of all sorry for any mistakes, I'm not fluent in English. That said, I really really enjoy your reactions. People in comments have already recommended to you some good songs by hololive artists, so i will not repeat the same songs (would put a like in their coments instead 😁 ) but I would like to recommend a couple more: 1. "My Roar" or "FACT" by Tokoyami Towa from Holo JP 2. Alice&U by Ayunda Risu from Holo Id. The last one has some japanese and indonesian but is almost full english, anyway its sooo beautiful and incredible that i just hope you would reatc to it.
4:44 Actually, they don't get to choose the design of the avatar, they only apply for the job and if they get in the company gives them an avatar, i suppose that the company has to think a lot about which avatar is good with their voice personality but idk
i would recommend ahoy by marine as it is the most popular ( by views when you check both versions of the song) original song released by a member of hololive
If you enjoy our shark friend Gura, these two also collabed on an original song called [Q], and Gura has an original called Reflect! Also Calli did a cover song of Usseewa with her friend Milky Queen which I think you would really dig if you like King. Also Calli's English cover of Envy Baby. Honestly with Hololive there's.... kind of too many epic songs to count in a single comment
Well I decided to search a random song for reactors. Looking forward to the rest of your stuff. Idk how you feel about only Japanese songs but you should check out Towa for her songs. They are always so good. Edit: just heard the part about suggestions. Maybe like Fact or Palette by Towa
I was actually wondering why all the hololive songs, especially for your "other language" category are by Calli and Gura from Hololive EN and not any from Hololive ID or JP. I recommend Tokoyami Towa, Tsunomaki Watame and Hoshimachi Suisei, as they are my favourite from JP musically speaking. Towa's original song Palette, and her cover of ERROR are both great, Watame's original songs Ai Mai Chocolate and Mayday Mayday are two personal favourites of mine, and there isn't much you can go wrong with Suisei, but my choice would be Stellar Stellar for her. I also highly recommend Ado, for Japanese music. Her songs Ussewa (うっせぇわ), Gira Gira (ギラギラ), Odo (踊) and Readymade (レディメイド) are all amazing, and I think most of them have english captions available if you were interested in knowing what the songs say. Readymade specifically kinda has that swing music vibe similar to Graveyard shift that I think you'd enjoy. I also thought it was interesting that one of the most unique versions of King is the one you reacted to, so you don't even have the baseline for how different it is LOL Like, the english rap at the start and between verses is completely original to their cover.
Yeah I originally wanted different language songs and then ppl recommended these. So at this point it’s just for any kind of other language/vtuber work. Still a small channel so there is def gonna be some reformatting. Def gonna try a JP song next week 💁🏻♀️
The beep at 5:41 is Gura saying shindeiru which in Japanese means dead. They tend to beep out words pertaining to violence or death bc suicide rates are really high in Japan.
And just culturally. "Die" is sort of like the Japanese equivalent of "fuck you".
And yet Calli's raps exist. I'm CONFUSED
@@wren7195 Probably because most of Japan doesn't know English or maybe because they know Calli uses words that relate to her being a Reaper. Idk
@@Fighter11244 Ah yeah the latter part, it tickled in the back of my brain lol one neuron was trying to explain to me what you just said. "Her entire PERSONA! What don't you get!?"
The rest of my neurons just blinked back stupidly. Thanks for explaining. Fight on
@@Fighter11244 The "beep" is likely just part of the original composition and recording, so it's done on all of the covers too.
Awesome that you're having fun with this! If you'd like to see this pairing a second time, they have an original song called "Q" Which is lovely and super fun.
4:57 gura has said it herself, her hololive form is that short because thats her irl hight
Great video. Lot's of covers of King, but I think Callie & Gura really put their own style on it, more than others (who stayed closer to the original). Mature older sister and bratty kid energy - both just having a ball with the song. Two buds kicking it.

The song was originally created by kanaria but the specific arrangement of instruments for this version was done by たかはし.
The mix of the instrumental and vocals was done by なつめ千秋.
Really, that's a reasonably sized team. You need someone to produce/arrange the track and someone to mix it. You need someone to draw the art for the MV and you need someone to put the MV together. You could have people wear multiple hats if you wanted, such as a track producer/arranger who also mixes the track, or an MV maker who creates their own art for the MVs, but each project calls for a different team composition based on circumstances.

1. "Say Fanfare!" by Shirakami Fubuki

4. "PekoMiko Daisenso!!" by Usada Pekora and Sakura Miko
5. "Ahoy" by Houshou Marine
All of these songs, while different are very showing of each of the different personalities of the girls singing them. Weather, remaining positive, being expressive, showing support for others, battling their rivals, or just being a happy, horny, pirate (Ahoy), if you know you know, they are all awesome songs!

damn I love seeing genuine reactions of a dude just boppin. good reaction, I love it.
I highly recommend you check out Hoshimachi Suisei. She just released a new song today for her birthday called Template.
0:41 Illustration refers to the main concept art for the music video, movie refers to the actual animation, and arrangement refers to the person who did the instrumentals. This is a cover of the original vocaloid song by Kanaria.

5:35 Japanese swear being censored
I love so much how in the art, Calli is only doing the pose with one hand because she's keeping Gura's crown from falling off. Adorable detail :3
Edit: "You. Are. KING." "Oh thank you! :)" oh you are just delightful

Need to check out wicked by Suisei ft. Cali and Capsule Cali Ft. Suisei. Suisei is a great artist from Hololive.
You should check out IronMouse. She’s a vtuber from Vshojo. She has an amazing voice. She has a cover of this song and tons of covers over on Vshojo Sings channel. Check out operatic Mouse first imo.
I recommend baker the legend Cartoon Network rap or baker the legend Nickelodeon rap
Good reaction, but man, when reacting to songs do not pause, you're interrupting the intended flow for yourself. That's not the way a song it's meant to be experienced. At least the first time do it in one go, later if you want to address specific parts it's good to go pausing and giving breakdowns.
If you can't read gura You can just call him Shark by his name.
you should look at hololive rap i think youd like that
IMHO Ironmouse have best "King" cover of all times =))
ill add it to the list!!
Another thing you can do is react to gawr gura experience video to better understand her personality and who she is.
some japanese songs i would recommend are odo and ussewa. theyre both made by an artist called ado and im pretty sure theyre her most popular songs. if you wanna spice it up a bit tho, loveka is a big favorite of mine
There are a ton of Hololive covers of King that you could check out in one big video, which would be awesome. There's a ton of variety in them!
I found this by random as a vtuber fan lol, But Gura is a shark and Calli is a grim reaper, Gura and Calli are in Hololive English Myth group with three more girls with them, They are gen 1 of Hololive English, There is gen 2 of Hololive English called Hololive Council you might see them later on if you want to hear there music from the girls, Btw both of them are American, Calli is fluent in Japanese but lives in Japan, Gura's Japanese is not that good but she is good when she practices for covers and her own music like Reflect :)
In this case.
The company tends to ask for designs similar to their actual body types. Gura is small irl and so is her model. Calliope too, she is big.
Though as independent vtubers they get a better pick on how their models are designed.
As a nice baby step into Hololive JP people, I'd suggest "Getcha" as covered by Hoshimachi Suisei and Calliope Mori. Suisei is one of the best, if not *the* best vocalist in Hololive JP and she collaborated with Calli for that one.
the beep was to censor 'shinde iru' which means 'dead' in English
The artist for this video, LAM, has a characteristic style, with a contrast of colors with gray, wioh worked really well here.
The artist behind this song (the original, not this cover, I mean), Kanaria, works with Vocaloid, wich you might know, are synthetic voice banks for digital singing.
There's a culture of cover songs, especially with vtubers, where one artists releases a song, and it makes a wave effect with lots of covers, and an increase in originality in the videos and covers. In the case of King, it starts with a 'simple' video wich ends getting a lot of cool video renditions (like Hololive Indonesia Reine's cover with a remix, or PochiMaru's with a really cool 3D video) and over the top vocals (like Nijisanji's Banderas one, or Zen's rap version)
For more songs recomendation I'd say:
- Kanaria's "Eye" (or covers of it, like Hololive's Tokoyami Towa or Takane Lui)
-"Goddish" (covered by Hololive's Murasaki Shion, Laplace Darkness and Kanata&Aqua)
-"Error" cover by Towa
As for Hololive Originals I'd recomend:
-Any Mori Calliope originals (especially "Red" and "Ijimekko Bully")
-Tokoyami Towa's “Pallette"
-Gawr Gura's “Reflect"
Enjoy the music! C:
If you like this cover check Ironmouse version it is unbelievable good.
To answer the question that you ask at roughly 5:00, In some cases in Hololive the talents did have the ability to choose / create the design the character that they would be personifying, but in most cases the design has already been done. Cover (the parent company to Hololive Production), holds auditions for the different branches of HoloLive (JP, Stars [JPs male branch], ID, and EN) to find the one person who will fit the characters perfectly or as perfectly as possible. After the individuals pass through the auditions, they have the ability to make *small* changes to the existing design or suggest changes. But Cover and the artist have all rights to refusing to make those changes. After roughly 6 months or so the newly debuted Hololive talents will get new outfits (such as casual outfits). Those outfits the talents will have more creative control over.
A perfect example of the character design and its details already existing would be Gawr Gura. The character is very short. Shorter than 5 ft. She is the 3rd shortest Hololive character. The talent behind Gawr Gura is also short. While we dont know her true height, the stories she has told us suggest that she is very short. Such as security stopping her at the air port because they think she is a child. So that leads us to believe that her height and the height of the character is nearly identical. Matching the height of the character to the height of the talent is also important because all Hololive talents will get 3d models eventually and to avoid 3d rigging scuff, it helps if the talent is the same height and proportions as the model in question.
First of all sorry for any mistakes, I'm not fluent in English. That said, I really really enjoy your reactions.
People in comments have already recommended to you some good songs by hololive artists, so i will not repeat the same songs (would put a like in their coments instead 😁 ) but I would like to recommend a couple more:
1. "My Roar" or "FACT" by Tokoyami Towa from Holo JP
2. Alice&U by Ayunda Risu from Holo Id.
The last one has some japanese and indonesian but is almost full english, anyway its sooo beautiful and incredible that i just hope you would reatc to it.

Actually, they don't get to choose the design of the avatar, they only apply for the job and if they get in the company gives them an avatar, i suppose that the company has to think a lot about which avatar is good with their voice personality but idk
i would recommend ahoy by marine as it is the most popular ( by views when you check both versions of the song) original song released by a member of hololive
If you enjoy our shark friend Gura, these two also collabed on an original song called [Q], and Gura has an original called Reflect! Also Calli did a cover song of Usseewa with her friend Milky Queen which I think you would really dig if you like King. Also Calli's English cover of Envy Baby.
Honestly with Hololive there's.... kind of too many epic songs to count in a single comment
Calli is really good at Rap while Gura really good at slow lounge songs. For the Hololive JP side, Suisei is the one to look out for.
Im pretty sure that beep was because she cussed
Well I decided to search a random song for reactors. Looking forward to the rest of your stuff.
Idk how you feel about only Japanese songs but you should check out Towa for her songs. They are always so good.
Edit: just heard the part about suggestions. Maybe like Fact or Palette by Towa
I’m looking forward to the Japanese songs! I wanna do one next week!
I was actually wondering why all the hololive songs, especially for your "other language" category are by Calli and Gura from Hololive EN and not any from Hololive ID or JP. I recommend Tokoyami Towa, Tsunomaki Watame and Hoshimachi Suisei, as they are my favourite from JP musically speaking. Towa's original song Palette, and her cover of ERROR are both great, Watame's original songs Ai Mai Chocolate and Mayday Mayday are two personal favourites of mine, and there isn't much you can go wrong with Suisei, but my choice would be Stellar Stellar for her.
I also highly recommend Ado, for Japanese music. Her songs Ussewa (うっせぇわ), Gira Gira (ギラギラ), Odo (踊) and Readymade (レディメイド) are all amazing, and I think most of them have english captions available if you were interested in knowing what the songs say. Readymade specifically kinda has that swing music vibe similar to Graveyard shift that I think you'd enjoy.
I also thought it was interesting that one of the most unique versions of King is the one you reacted to, so you don't even have the baseline for how different it is LOL Like, the english rap at the start and between verses is completely original to their cover.
I can't believe I forgot to mention Ahoy! and Unison by Houshou Marine!
Oh, I totally paused the video right before you said you were overwhelmed and to only say the song we recommend and why we like it... Oops.
Yeah I originally wanted different language songs and then ppl recommended these. So at this point it’s just for any kind of other language/vtuber work. Still a small channel so there is def gonna be some reformatting. Def gonna try a JP song next week 💁🏻♀️
This was a pretty good one
Gwar gu-ra
Not my favorite King cover in Hololive, but definitely the funnest. Every time I listen to it it sounds like they're having a hell of a time.
I'd love to see you react to their other collab
Def gonna have too!
@@Mattables yes
Can you also do a reaction to usseewa by ado. It's a really good song. Also the caption work so you can understand the lyrics too.
