Mori Calliope 5 Song Study Volume 2

What he only reacted to half of the song DONMAI there was so much more going on later in that song as well its a very technical and complex song that was put together perfectly and he just skipped over the entire 2nd half why

I came here because I love Through the Blue. That song got me through so much. And it's such a beautiful song.

If you liked through the blue then would recommend Live Again, Scuffed up age and Shuuden

One of her songs that I think is amazing and flex's alot of Cali's vocal toolkit is the song "Six feet under", the chorus never fails to give me chills every time.

I would love to hear a deep dive on Overkill. Phantomime is my favorite album of hers with it having some of my favorite songs such as Donmai, Cult Following, Skeletons, and Through the Blue, with Cult Following being my personal favorite of hers. While I can't say I have a deep understanding of her work like others, I would also recommend Red followed by Left for Dead Lullaby as they kind of go hand in hand with each other.

If you want to see some of her live, she has free parts and uploads of songs from her solo lives! First one is New Underworld Order (free livestream part and uploads on her Videos tab), and the second is GriMoire (free livestream part) And on Through the Blue, she said it was inspired by the lot of blue balloons released at her close friend's funeral And for another Hololive artist you'd really love, check out Omaru Polka! Everblue, Saikyoutic Polka, Hologram Circus, Super Viper, and Puppet are ones I'd recommend. They all have music videos with English subtitles except Super Viper

Would love for you do do a deep dive on Nerissa Ravencroft at some point. Very much a diva singer and has done quite a lot. Personally I like her city pop and jazzy songs more. She also has a great cover of Down by The River from Baldur's Gate 3. The others I recommend are "In My Feelings" "Say My Name" and "Sweetest Scarlet".

Did the video cut at some point or did you not finish Donmai? The metal part after that is so good.

I really thought her stuff was fun when she first debuted, but it was "Cursed Night" and the "End of a Life" that really cemented for me how good she really is. I know a lot of people would hate on her early on because she was doing a lot of fun quirky songs and never gave her a second look. I'm glad to see more and more people learning how wide her talents are.

And to your question at the end of the video, I'd love a full album listen of Phantomime! Diasterpiece is also great, but I love the experience of listening to Phantomime beginning to end. It has a really natural flow of highs and lows. It reminds me of the times when more artists put so much creative effort into the flow of their albums from song to song, rather than just slapping together a number of singles that were each created with the algorithm and playlists as the priority.

I would absolutely love a deep dive of Overkill! I see it as her punching back at an industry that dehumanizes and objectifies young girls, chewing them up and spitting them out. The comparison to Ado's Ussewa is pretty spot on, but with Ado's criticism in that song aimed at society more broadly (but with similar intensity).

oh man, Youtube comments are right. You only watched half of Donmai, went back to discuss things happening and then I think got so overwhelmed by all the details you forgot to finish the song. :P

Weird I didn't get a notification for this... 23:52 I love how in this start you can really hear her Texan accent come through. I'd love a deep dive on Overkill. To me 40:40 All we actually know is her issue has to do with management. She didn't specify if it was Holo or Universal (she has 9 managers between the two companies). It's speculated to be Cover do to what her genmate said but that's it. In Japan, yes they still do Blu-ray. Live concerts are streamed to Youtube for a free section and the rest is streamed on a platform called "SPWN" which allows for pre-purchase of tickets and leaves the vod up only for a month. They use sales of the Blu-ray and concert merch to determine if a talent can have another concert, or in her case whether or not she can have a tour. I have to agree with Kakatsu, Phantomime and Disasterpiece are both good albums to cover. You've already watched 3 songs from each. Overkill, DONMAI, and through the blue from Phantomime. Orpheus, LET'S JUST CRASH, and Gold Unbalanced which are the first 3 in Disasterpiece. Calli usually releases albums in the last quarter of the year and she already hinted at a new one already.

Overkill deserves a full unpack.

A deep study of overkill would be pretty awesome

Overkill was the most metal up to that point.

In terms of albums, I really love Phantomime which has some good songs. Skeletons and Last Days being more emotional and Go-Getters and Cult Following has more of that fiery personality you were mentioning. Disasterpiece being her newest album has a good bit of diversity to it so I do recommend listening to those songs at some point. The ones I'd recommend starting with are Ningen Dakara, Die for You, and Shuuden and Memento. But I can make a case for all the songs. Lastly some standalone songs that would be interesting are Red, and CapSule which is a collaborative song between Mori and Suisei! Was not expecting another Mori Calliope study so soon, but I'm all here for it! Thanks for the video Tim! 🩷💀

i'm happy for you to do a deeper dive to overkill

I love overkill, it hit me like a truck when I first heard it. Being a Mori fan, it was like whiplash and I really got an idea of her range and artistry after hearing it. The longer I listen to her, the more I appreciate her as an artist. So happy you've spent the time checking her out Tim. Would love a deep dive on overkill.

More Mori!!! Lets goooooo!
