I LOVE THESE TWO TOGETHER!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ALSO!! Make sure you are following on TWITCH to be entered into the future channel GIVEAWAYS! www.twitch.tv/gotgames_tb 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Also, all UNBLURRED reactions are uploaded early to PATREON! www.patreon.com/gotgames 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
one thing people tend to not understand with music is you dont need to be able to speak the language to nail all the vocals and lyrics for the song. its just like repeating someone someone said. you can not understand a single word but you can still pronounce the words. though these 2 are good at speaking japanese so it doesnt apply to them.
if you want to hear Callie sing I recommend her song Dawn Blue - the music video put together in anime style of different hololive members is amazing as well [Dawn Blue】 ホロライブオルタナティブPV、ホロアースPVまとめて見たいAMV ua-cam.com/video/0L4YAeqHbPI/v-deo.html
If you are liking Calli's music, then I could not recommend "End of Life" enough. "Excuse my Rudeness" is her most well known song, but in my opinion End of Life is her *best* song. It's also more of a song rather than rap, so you'll get a better idea of how good of an artist she really is.
I think one of the best descriptions I've given someone to explain "end of a life" (yes, there are no caps) is to call it a "Rap Ballad." The singing in it is very similar to how I think of ballads (which I might be wrong about), and there is still wrapping that even at it's highest syllables per second or at it's most emotional still has a feeling of being somewhat subdued. Link: ua-cam.com/video/BXB26PzV31k/v-deo.html
Fun fact: These two didn't record this in the same studio at all. Calli was living in Japan (which was under travel lockdown at the time) while Gura lives in the US. Their "jam session" lasted over several days or weeks, with them sending back and forth the different tracks, adding new things and building off of what the other did with the song. The result is a cover that is considerably different from the original, with a more fun tone to it, added rap sections and a different instrumental interpretation. For both Calli's singing voice, as well as an animation starring several Hololive VTubers in one, I'd recommend checking out the "[hololive Alternative] Teaser PV (full ver.)" on the official Hololive channel.
It is interesting to compare "Dawn Blue" (the track used in the first Hololive Alternative PV) and Calli's recent cover of "The Worlds Continuation" to see just how far her singing has come.
Oh okay! Thank you for the recommendation! And that is crazy! Considering how well they click on this song! Usually when the artists aren't together it's more separate with verses, this really felt like the two of them were right next to each other 💯
@@GOTGames The group has met more recently for what is called an offline collaboration back this past June. That marks the first time that the 5 girls have actually met each other in person all together since they started working together 2 years ago.
Someone describe Gura perfectly... she has this uncanny ability to just mimic sounds and the way people speak. Not only is she able to read the lyrics, but she's able to had accent and general dialect - the stuff that makes a language truly fluent - into her speech. It's a scary talent to have and that little agent of chaos thankfully uses it for entertainment.
This exactly gives her the edge of sounding like a native Japanese despite not being close to fluent. This means that she can act with Japanese speaking lines or singing like a Japanese person just by ear. Seems like the perfect little package for Hololive to further their entertainment brand. You might have noticed Gura’s ability to mimic Japanese pitch in her original song Reflect. If you want to hear more of her covering of Japanese songs, check out her cover of _Sorairo Days_ with Natsuiro Matsuri.
Gura is like a human Lyrebird. Play her a song in any language, and she will be able to remember and reproduce it, even long, complicated musical passages. In her karaoke songs, she has sung spanish, french and portuguese songs, and sounds amazing in them despite not speaking any of those languages. This may be linked with how good she is at rhythm games, she can not only remember complicated passages after a single listen, but also tune in to and predict the flow of the music naturally. This does come with some downsides, though. Once she "learns" something, she has a very hard time unlearning it, even if she learnt it "wrong" the first time. After Kiara taught her some uncouth phrases to say in Japanese, she was able to remember them a year later when interacting with her JP senpais.
@@Vasharan Dunno if this is a member info or not, can’t remember, but she said when she practices her singing she would listen to various versions per song to pick up the right pronunciation for her iteration. Shork is precious.
Calli is fluent in Japanese, not the most fluent in HoloEN but more than she gives herself credit for. Gura is learning Japanese and can probably have a very basic conversation in it, but both are very good at singing in Japanese. Please check out Tokoyami Towa next! Either Pallette or Error
To complement, it's a well known fact that Calli lives in Japan, so it's kinda out of necessity that she learned japanese, though she isn't fluent enough to be fully confident in it. *Irys and Kiara,* both her friends in HoloEN, are fully fluent. Irys lives in Japan and Kiara used to live in Japan, but moved back to her country.
KING is one of the most popular songs for VTubers to cover, probably because it’s “safe” in terms of getting copyright strikes on it. Because there’s so many covers of the song, it’s become a challenge for covers to add individuality and stand out from the bulk. The Calli + Gura cover achieved this by modifying the lyrics, adding to them (such as adding raps in the instrumental parts) and turning the song into a duet.
So true, between VTubers and utaites (Japanese cover artists) there's hundreds of covers of this song out there if not more, and yet Calli & Gura managed to create a definitively unique take on it. Though I'd also say that Reine's cover of the song is pretty distinct as well, and Suisei has definitely put her stamp on it with her powerful vocals.
Gura and Calli first language is English. They are even in the English branch of hololive. Calli is extremely good at Japanese bc she moved to Japan a couple years back. Gura is still learning but can hold up a conversation with the Japanese branch.
Calli speaks Japanese, quite well actually! She is humble enough to say its not that good, but she collabs with the Japanese girls just fine! Also writes music with japanese parts and keep the good flow! She lived there for quite awhile, got back to the US because paying taxes twice is an absurd! XD Gura knows the basic weeb stuff and a bit more It shows she studied a bit but she is far from knowing how to speak Japanese, but its alright, Japanese is very hard to learn for english speakers! She has a very popular stream that the JP audience loves that its she learning Japanese through Duolinguo! And recently she had a JP learning collab with Takane Lui, a japanese girl who can speak english quite well!!
Gura does speak English despite singing primarily Japanese. Just check out her youtube channel :P. King isn't their song, but is a popular song to cover among vtubers and they put their own spin on it. Calli's raps aren't in the original. More songs to check out - Moona Hoshinova - High Tide, Mori Calliope - End of a Life (especially since you mentioned wanting to hear a slower song) & Hoshimachi Suisei - Stellar Stellar.
@@lareolanKFP Every cover of "King" saw the vocalist's personal twist, and there are loads of them, even if just within Hololive. It's unfortunate that Kanata pulled her version though.
@@GOTGames By the way, dragonguard666 mentioned a few numbers in the epic category, but there are some others which are not meant to be but quite wonderful nonetheless. Suisei's "Bluerose" is a favourite of mine, and Okayu's as well.
At this Point in times it's almost like a Badge of honor to say that you've been able to cover this song and Do it well. A number of the Hololive girls have all done a cover of it but Gura and Calli are the first ones to do a Duet cover.
For a Calli Signing or like more poppy style song look at Mera Mera from Shinigami Note or Resting Power from her Un-alive Album bothI feel really show off the work she's been putting into her Signing talent to add another weapon to her arsenal as an artist.
@@GOTGames If you want to hear another cover, Suisei has one as well. There is also the version by Ayunda Risu that I have seen many people claim as their favorite from Hololive.
King is a vocaloid song originally, which is a whole new rabbit hole in itself. The english rap in this was Calli's invention, but the rest sticks close to the original (with their own twist on it). To add on to others suggestions, Calli's "End of a life" has both her singing and the slower pace you were asking about (plus some sick saxophone).
Gonna drop my usuals here: Palette by Tokoyami Towa, Hide Tide by Moona Hoshinova, Stellar Stellar by Suisei, End of a Life by Calli, I'm Your Treasure Box by Houshou Marine. Gura and Calli are both Americans, part of Hololive's English language branch. Suisei, who you also reacted to, is part of the main Japanese branch. At the time this was recorded, Calli was still living in Japan full time, and Calli and Gura had never met in person. They both recorded their portions separately, with additional bits then added in over time, which apparently caused this cover to take a long time to actually come out.
I love Vampire. I love Deco27 but that song specifically is so funny. The English cover by Rachie is great. ua-cam.com/video/QFlCSMlpQIQ/v-deo.html Is this about Vampires or oral sex? Yes.
Yeah one of the things about King/Vampire is they're under particular licenses that are not difficult to get so you tend to see vtubers doing a lot of those songs. When one of them happens to be popular they just kind of explode. Much easier to deal with NexTone than most labels like UMG, Sony, Victor Entertainment, etc even if those labels have some more popular songs.
Still going to plug I'm Your Treasure Box by Marine for the interesting reaction it would cause 🙂 I'll also through out Towa and say you should check out both Error and Palette by her! If you want to see Gura and Calli doing nonsense as friends you should check out their regular streaming clips 😉
I don't know man. *I think he will feel fairly uncomfortable.* It's looks very erotic for someone who isn't used to ecchi stuff. (I mean, he thought something as mild as some of the Fairy Tail's openings were erotic. How do you think he's gonna react to Your Treasure Box? XD) As I see it, the reason Marine can do a song like that for Hololive is because everyone is in on the joke. But if you watch it without context...
@@cry9438 *He can, but he doesn't want to and that's fine.* I've watched at least 5 reaction series to Food Wars and 7 to Cyberpunk here in UA-cam. All you have to do is hide the screen whenever something you *think* might be bad shows up. *AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T CENSOR IT, sincerely, I think you'd have less trouble reacting to Prison School (which is pretty heavy on erotism) than to Naruto for example.* _UA-cam cares more about copyright than about how erotic is the stuff on screen in their platform._ Hell, if you look hard enough you can find even uncensored hentai games' gameplay here in UA-cam. Those I believe would be blocked if bots found them though.
They recorded this half a world apart from each other. At the time, Calli was living in Japan and Gura was in America. Yet as you said it sounded like they were in the same studio riffing off of each other. Their synergy is just that good.
You should watch the rap duet between Mori and Watame, it is called "Reaper vs Sheep" and it is a duel language rap battle style song. There are two versions, the one I recommend is the Ouen versions.
A very creative take on KING. Can't do this with a lot of songs because there are a lot of problems with getting permissions to alter them. Also once again recommending "My Song" from Tsunomaki Watame. It's one of the best you'll find in Hololive and a heavy song about her history with music. It's a must see. Amazing anime level animation as well.
I recommend Towa next please 👀 Her cover of Error , her original Palette,Her version of King , her cover of Eye and also her cover of “Black Sheep” and from her ep, Fact
@@x149te i wanted to suggest my roar aswell but i thought it would be best to hear her in general first, as My Roar is a very unique type of song and not something she *Usually* does
Gura is not a Japanese speaker. Calli can speak English and Japanese but her first language is English. Gura is currently learning Japanese. Calli and Gura are genmates ;).
this is probably my favorite collab between those two I'll go ahead and recommend a couple more covers: Calli's Roki and Gura's Believer. Gura does such a good job every time she sings that, and Roki is just really freaking cool. Wagakki Band's version of Roki is also worth checking out if you haven't already
You have no idea how good it feels to be in different time zones and waking up to your reactions. From the English Hololive side, I would like to suggest all of Myth collaboration as well as Council. "Country Roads" cover by Myth was the first time they worked toghether on a song and it was beautiful. Lot's of love to Skid, he's great. Can't wait for him to drop his own album lol.
Thank you as ever for a great reaction. I really love the energy and enthusiasm you bring to your reactions! For a singing song for Calli I would say End of a Life is probably the best one, it's also a deep dive into her past. For Suisei I'd recommend Stellar Stellar (with English Subtitles) which was the lead song for her first album.
Calli has lived in Japan for several years and is fluent in Japanese, which is why it’s so easy for her to switch between languages. Gura has a talent for pronunciation and, while she only knows a little Japanese, she can just nail sounds (even the little differences between spoken and sung Japanese).
To answer your question, neither is a native Japanese speaker. Another topic you touched on is that you felt they had fun recording the song together. Based on what I understand, they've only met in person a couple of times and likely didn't record the song in-person. They have collaborated extensively on their streams, however, and do have great chemistry. To echo others' recommendations: Moona's "High Tide" and Calli's "End of a Life" would make fantastic next stops.
I hope people make sure to credit the original artist. King is originally a vocaloid song by Kanaria, originally sung by GUMI. I know it's listed in the video and Luke mentioned it, but they are so talented as well. Thanks for another great reaction. :)
The really COOL part about this cover is just how they really made it their own! The original is very different, Techno/Punk, and if you listen to the IronMouse version it's surprising! Gura has done DOZENS of covers and had a weekly sing-along nearly ever week in mid 2021.
Your reactions are fantastic! I really enjoy how you have your own way of recording these and your own method! What I'll recommend first though is checking out Demondice's track "Soundless". The second recommendation is for more Hololive which would be checking out the cover of "Ochame Kinou" by Hololive EN. As for Kanaria, they do Vocaloid tracks which I believe you're familiar with. Which ever way you go, I'm looking forward to your next video!
The song king is on of my all time favorites all versions king is a song many people interpret and cover i love the jinja the most or iron maus version
On the topic of covers, ironmouse also has a cover of this song that's pretty good. As for speaking Japanese, Gura is learning I think? Calli however lives in Japan and speaks it pretty well, but she's originally from the US. Just remembered, for Calli singing there are a few, but they released a song not too long ago called "Non-fiction" where you get to see and hear each member of their group, so Calli, Gura, Ame, Ina, and Kiara all in one song singing together.
Singing "King" is a well know tradition for Vtubers, you can find a version of it for each one of the Hololive members, each one having a different style matching the singer theme, wich is fun and deepens the tradition, its not only a "cover", is technically a statement of their creativity. By the way.. i cant wait you cover Marine, her latest song "I’m Your Treasure Box" its a must, "Unison" is an otherworld see experience, and "Ahoy!" the best song ever made XD
@@lareolanKFP ofc, i like all Marine songs, she ironically have a mature artistic taste in music styles XD for a 18y idol XD. Beside her theme shenanigans, she is a well rounded artist.
2:34 - yes, she doesn't know japanese but few phrases. She has really good ear and tongue. Very talented. She sings many karaoke streams, "The Last Stand" by Sabaton for example
Dang, sad it's not Ayunda Risu's cover of it, but at least this version's pretty unique in how they chose to cover it! Really hope to see you checking out more of the talents from Hololive, especially if you get a chance to hear their original songs!
I don't know if someone has already mentioned this as there too many comments for me to readily check, but King is a song originally written/produced/mixed by an EDM artist named kanaria using the Gumi voicebank. As such it is an excellent electronic vocaloid work which tend to have very forgiving "free use with attribution" terms so covers are generally safe to record. He has quite a few original pieces that are in the same set which also get a lot of covers, but none quite as many as King.
As someone who recently became one of your subscribers in the last month or 2 when you popped up in my recommended section due to one of your reactions, I'm glad you got into the anime/Vtuber rabbit hole of music. It's been fun seeing such a genuine reaction to each of these songs. My dad refuses to listen to this stuff because he's stuck in liking songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Good songs but as you've found out there are plenty of songs such as this one that really are great. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions in the future :)
Just so you know. This is a cover, not an original. The song is from Kanaria and sung by a virtual singer named Gumi. It’s also part of a series if I remember correctly.
Sounds like my playlist to be honest, from 'Hatsune Miku - Lucky Clover Club' to 'Disturbed - Down With the Sickness' and everything in between. You like what you like and i'm the same in that regard. Genre be damned.
These two are awesome together because they just have fun with what they do. They're both goofballs and it shows, and that's why people love their content so much. Another track from the HoloLive lineup that I absolutely adore is a cover by Hakos Baelz called Hontou no Oto. Absolutely stunning song.
You should definitely react to "End of Life", "Excuse my Rudeness" , "DEAD BEATS" by Calli and also Villain Vibes by AmaLee, feat. Calli its a total banger also a honorable mention to "RED" also by Calli
My suggestions Hololive Myth (Calli & Gura's generation) - Journey Like a Thousand Years Hoshimachi Suisei- Template Moona Hoshinova- High Tide Ayunda Risu - Alice & U Tokoyami Towa - Pallete
i think it would be a crime not to mention suisei cover of "Saga Jihen"...also as for Halloween hololive EN group released song "myth or treat" where u can hear all of the EN group sing (first group)
I would recommend checking out some of the other Hololive King covers. My favorites are probably Sora's, Risu's, Watame's, Shion's, Towa's, and Suisei's. There are more than that though 😂.
Since you're at it, I think I can add Reine's, and one foot outside the Hololive universe, her mother Pochi's version as well: Pochi's version might not be on the same level as Reine's in terms of vocal virtuosity but the video is eye-popping with Easter eggs aplenty.
I've never heard this version of king. I've heard Ironmouse and suisei( might have spelled that wrong) sing this as well. If you haven't reacted to it you should react to "off with their heads" by calliope mori and "villain vibes" by Amalee featuring calliope mori. There is also lewdtubers because of projekt melody showing up on orange UA-cam.
You should check out High Tide by Moona Hoshinova, absolutely amazing original song with stunning visuals. Moona is from Indonesian branch of Hololive and she's amazing, as well as the rest of the girls from HoloID.
Oh you have to watch Myths Bad Ending, it was put out in installments while it was being created and they finally finished it, you would do well to know some of the lore assosicated with Holomyth girls but its awesome anyway if you don't know. Its a cool animation someone made that has blown fans away.
9:54 One of Calli's deep ,slow music is "end of a life". That song is talking about Calli's personal life before joining Hololive. Not only the lyrics, the beat and music is sooooo beautiful. You must react to this song, trust me.
First of all, you MUST check the original MV in Calli's channel with all 5 of the Myth gen called "Non-Fiction" . At this one Calli does NOT rap. For other recommendations: - Suisei, has stuff like Comet. - Towa(-sama), has stuff like Error and Palette. - Marine, I see is mentioned mostly because of her recent original Treasure Box song. - If we want to talk recency bias, we have Sora that did a cover with Calli - Suisei - AZKi - IRyS. - Towa(-sama) also did a cover of Hikaru Nara with Chloe - Lui - Robocco - Mel. - Mel has a rap cover of Luvoratory with Kanata and Calli. - Watame did a two sides song with Calli. Each side on their channels. - Personal favorite of IRyS is Berserker. - Then you have Moona with High Tide. - Risu with Flos. - Reine with two sides cover with Risu of Kakumei Dualism.
Calli is one of the best rappers of Hololive. The other one is Watame. They both have a Rap battle called Reaper vs Sheep. I really recommend it, it has two versions, btw.
Holomyth's Bad Ending is a fan animation about Calliope, Gura, Amelia, Ina, and Kiara (Holomyth, Hololive EN's fist generation) that was just finally completed over a year of work. It speaks to Hololive lore and is a modern great work of art. A reaction to that would be much loved by the fans.
Check out cover by Axel Syrios called yoidore shirazu. He is from holostars EN. They are not as popular as hololive EN girls but this song is his first cover. It's great you will like it give it a try
End of a Life by Cali. Stellar Stellar by Suisei. Both of them also have songs with Taku Inoue that are awesome. Yona Yona Journey is an upbeat Jazzy kinda song with Cali, and Sanji Juunihun aka 3:12 with Suisei is a very mellow song. If you want something a little closer to a Halloween vibe there's Myth or Treat which Cali wrote the lyrics for and is sung by all of her genmates including gura. Also Graveyard Shift with Cali and Boogey Voxx.
Check out Baby Metal, their genre is "Kawaii Metal" which is basically a mix between J-pop and Heavy Metal. I recommend "Megitsune" and "Ijime, Dame, Zettai"
Slipping in Recommendations for my favorite singing Vtuber Hoshimachi Suisei. My favorites from her are Stellar Stellar her 1st track from her first album. Next Color Planet from Suisei is another one, this was the song where she decided to seriously pursue music due to positive reviews
I feel obligated to pitch some of the less promoted Hololive singers and their amazing songs: Sakura Miko: "My Name Is Elite", "Sakurakaze", "Baby Dance" Amane Kanata: "Tokusya-Seizon Wonder-la-der!!", "Tenshi no Agape" Shirakami Fubuki: "Say! Fanfare!", "KONKON BEATS" Oozora Subaru: "Pleiades!" Honestly I could keep going for a while but those are some standouts for me.
Wow a year already? well, with a genuine reactions like that, it's easy to see how much you like music! you channel gonna grow "Even further BEYOND" (that's a famous anime quote btw). You're awersome dude!
Another great reaction. Thank you for always bringing energy to it, it is refreshing after hard days! As recommendation for this rabbit hole I will keep pointing out Tokoyami Towas' Palette. There is a lot to discover in Hololive. Even if you look aside the usual "singers", most members have original songs and they differ vastly in style .
Since you understand the greatness this dynamic duo and the epicness of Calli raps. Time to react to "REFLECT" by Gura original mv. This song brings down mens to tears.
For next steps into the rabbit hole i would suggest; "Im Your Treasure Box" by Houshou Marine "Ahoy" (short and full version) by Houshou Marine "Palette" by Tokoyami Towa "ERROR" cover by Tokoyami Towa "High Tide" by Moona Hooshinova "Alice & U" by Ayunda Risu "Shallys" by Aki Roshenthal (this song isn't in japanese, it's in a elven language that lore-wise is the language spoken where this half-elf comes from, and is very interesting to hear) As for some group songs: "Non Fiction" by HoloEN 1st Generation (Calliope Mori, Gawr Gura, Takanashi Kiara, Amelia Watson and Ninomae Inanis) "Stardust Song" by Tokoyami Towa, Amane Kanata and Shiranui Flare "Suspect" by Aki Rosenthal, Nakiri Ayame and Roboco "Shiny Smiley Story" last version with all 6 generations from Holo Japan (anthem of Hololive) "Ochame Kinou" by 24 Hololive Japan members (the most viewed song from Hololive and a classic) And if you want to check more from Calli and Suisei "Stellar Stellar" by Hoshimachi Suisei "Saga Jihen" cover by Hoshimachi Suisei ft Hololive JP 3rd Generation "End of a life" by Calliope Mori "Off with your heads" by Calliope Mori "Wicked" by Hoshimachi Suisei ft Calliope Mori "GETCHA!" cover by Hoshimachi Suisei ft Calliope Mori Hope you enjoy going down this rabbit hole, there are some amazing and very differenta and unique singers in Hololive so im sure you will enjoy this journey!
The language Distribution for Hololive EN and Holostars EN are this: MYTH : Mori Calliope - English, Japanese Takanashi Kiara - German, Japanese, English, a bit of Korean Ninoname Ina'nis - Korean, English, Japanese Gawr Gura - English, learning Japanese Watson Amelia - English, learning Japanese PROJECT: HOPE : IRyS - English, Japanese COUNCIL : Tsukumo Sana - English, I think she knows Japanese I forget.

The quality of this song is so goated, hundreds of artist have covered it. Have a listen to the original King as well!
Please remember to try to turn on CC for Subtitles for any Hololive video.
Can you react to Noragami openings 1 and 2?
one thing people tend to not understand with music is you dont need to be able to speak the language to nail all the vocals and lyrics for the song. its just like repeating someone someone said. you can not understand a single word but you can still pronounce the words. though these 2 are good at speaking japanese so it doesnt apply to them.
if you want to hear Callie sing I recommend her song Dawn Blue - the music video put together in anime style of different hololive members is amazing as well
[Dawn Blue】 ホロライブオルタナティブPV、ホロアースPVまとめて見たいAMV

If you are liking Calli's music, then I could not recommend "End of Life" enough. "Excuse my Rudeness" is her most well known song, but in my opinion End of Life is her *best* song. It's also more of a song rather than rap, so you'll get a better idea of how good of an artist she really is.
I think one of the best descriptions I've given someone to explain "end of a life" (yes, there are no caps) is to call it a "Rap Ballad." The singing in it is very similar to how I think of ballads (which I might be wrong about), and there is still wrapping that even at it's highest syllables per second or at it's most emotional still has a feeling of being somewhat subdued.
Link: ua-cam.com/video/BXB26PzV31k/v-deo.html
indeed highly recommended
I agree with "end of a life" being one of, if not her best, but another singing song I'd recommend is "Scuffed Up Age."
@@effortlessfury got "end of life" on my fav playlist on spotify and listen like at leats once daily . its so chill ,kinda sad but still uplifting.
In my opinion, End of a Life is her best song, cuz the deep meaning
Fun fact: These two didn't record this in the same studio at all.
Calli was living in Japan (which was under travel lockdown at the time) while Gura lives in the US. Their "jam session" lasted over several days or weeks, with them sending back and forth the different tracks, adding new things and building off of what the other did with the song. The result is a cover that is considerably different from the original, with a more fun tone to it, added rap sections and a different instrumental interpretation.
For both Calli's singing voice, as well as an animation starring several Hololive VTubers in one, I'd recommend checking out the "[hololive Alternative] Teaser PV (full ver.)" on the official Hololive channel.
It is interesting to compare "Dawn Blue" (the track used in the first Hololive Alternative PV) and Calli's recent cover of "The Worlds Continuation" to see just how far her singing has come.
Good call! Hololive Alternative teaser is an amazing example of Calli's singing!
Oh okay! Thank you for the recommendation!
And that is crazy! Considering how well they click on this song! Usually when the artists aren't together it's more separate with verses, this really felt like the two of them were right next to each other 💯
@@GOTGames The group has met more recently for what is called an offline collaboration back this past June. That marks the first time that the 5 girls have actually met each other in person all together since they started working together 2 years ago.
This cover of "King" is so good that all others seem boring in comparison, even if it's fantastic.
Someone describe Gura perfectly... she has this uncanny ability to just mimic sounds and the way people speak. Not only is she able to read the lyrics, but she's able to had accent and general dialect - the stuff that makes a language truly fluent - into her speech. It's a scary talent to have and that little agent of chaos thankfully uses it for entertainment.
Jeez... That is crazy!! 😮
This exactly gives her the edge of sounding like a native Japanese despite not being close to fluent. This means that she can act with Japanese speaking lines or singing like a Japanese person just by ear.
Seems like the perfect little package for Hololive to further their entertainment brand.
You might have noticed Gura’s ability to mimic Japanese pitch in her original song Reflect. If you want to hear more of her covering of Japanese songs, check out her cover of _Sorairo Days_ with Natsuiro Matsuri.
Gura is like a human Lyrebird. Play her a song in any language, and she will be able to remember and reproduce it, even long, complicated musical passages. In her karaoke songs, she has sung spanish, french and portuguese songs, and sounds amazing in them despite not speaking any of those languages. This may be linked with how good she is at rhythm games, she can not only remember complicated passages after a single listen, but also tune in to and predict the flow of the music naturally.
This does come with some downsides, though. Once she "learns" something, she has a very hard time unlearning it, even if she learnt it "wrong" the first time. After Kiara taught her some uncouth phrases to say in Japanese, she was able to remember them a year later when interacting with her JP senpais.
@@Vasharan never put that together but holy hell is that comparison scary accurate..
@@Vasharan Dunno if this is a member info or not, can’t remember, but she said when she practices her singing she would listen to various versions per song to pick up the right pronunciation for her iteration.
Shork is precious.
Calli is fluent in Japanese, not the most fluent in HoloEN but more than she gives herself credit for. Gura is learning Japanese and can probably have a very basic conversation in it, but both are very good at singing in Japanese. Please check out Tokoyami Towa next! Either Pallette or Error
To complement, it's a well known fact that Calli lives in Japan, so it's kinda out of necessity that she learned japanese, though she isn't fluent enough to be fully confident in it.
*Irys and Kiara,* both her friends in HoloEN, are fully fluent. Irys lives in Japan and Kiara used to live in Japan, but moved back to her country.
Gura could probably sing in any language pretty well. She just has a natural talent for that kind of stuff.
I also want him to react to Pallette!!
You'd really think they were both Japanese in some songs, they're incredibly talented 💯
KING is one of the most popular songs for VTubers to cover, probably because it’s “safe” in terms of getting copyright strikes on it.
Because there’s so many covers of the song, it’s become a challenge for covers to add individuality and stand out from the bulk.
The Calli + Gura cover achieved this by modifying the lyrics, adding to them (such as adding raps in the instrumental parts) and turning the song into a duet.
So true, between VTubers and utaites (Japanese cover artists) there's hundreds of covers of this song out there if not more, and yet Calli & Gura managed to create a definitively unique take on it.
Though I'd also say that Reine's cover of the song is pretty distinct as well, and Suisei has definitely put her stamp on it with her powerful vocals.
Gura and Calli first language is English. They are even in the English branch of hololive. Calli is extremely good at Japanese bc she moved to Japan a couple years back. Gura is still learning but can hold up a conversation with the Japanese branch.
Calli speaks Japanese, quite well actually!
She is humble enough to say its not that good, but she collabs with the Japanese girls just fine! Also writes music with japanese parts and keep the good flow! She lived there for quite awhile, got back to the US because paying taxes twice is an absurd! XD
Gura knows the basic weeb stuff and a bit more
It shows she studied a bit but she is far from knowing how to speak Japanese, but its alright, Japanese is very hard to learn for english speakers!
She has a very popular stream that the JP audience loves that its she learning Japanese through Duolinguo! And recently she had a JP learning collab with Takane Lui, a japanese girl who can speak english quite well!!
Yeah Calli is solidly conversational in Japanese, even if not quite technically fluent.
Gura did good when she was playing Rust, she found the jp girls by chance and stood there interacting. Of course it was hard for her but she did it
@@jorex4011 she did great yeah! She used translation tools and kept really simple, but she did amazing indeed!!
Oh thank you so much for the breakdown ❤️
Gura does speak English despite singing primarily Japanese. Just check out her youtube channel :P. King isn't their song, but is a popular song to cover among vtubers and they put their own spin on it. Calli's raps aren't in the original.
More songs to check out - Moona Hoshinova - High Tide, Mori Calliope - End of a Life (especially since you mentioned wanting to hear a slower song) & Hoshimachi Suisei - Stellar Stellar.
Might also check out Suisei's cover of King while he's at it, just so he can see a different take on the same song.
@@lareolanKFP Every cover of "King" saw the vocalist's personal twist, and there are loads of them, even if just within Hololive. It's unfortunate that Kanata pulled her version though.
Thank you for the recommendations ❤️
@@GOTGames By the way, dragonguard666 mentioned a few numbers in the epic category, but there are some others which are not meant to be but quite wonderful nonetheless. Suisei's "Bluerose" is a favourite of mine, and Okayu's as well.
King is such a fun song isn't it
Non-Fiction is still my recommendation, Calli and Gura sound amazing and the rest of HoloMyth as well!
I love non-fiction so much
At this Point in times it's almost like a Badge of honor to say that you've been able to cover this song and Do it well. A number of the Hololive girls have all done a cover of it but Gura and Calli are the first ones to do a Duet cover.
For a Calli Signing or like more poppy style song look at Mera Mera from Shinigami Note or Resting Power from her Un-alive Album bothI feel really show off the work she's been putting into her Signing talent to add another weapon to her arsenal as an artist.
I can't wait to hear some more covers to it!
@@GOTGames If you want to hear another cover, Suisei has one as well. There is also the version by Ayunda Risu that I have seen many people claim as their favorite from Hololive.
King is a vocaloid song originally, which is a whole new rabbit hole in itself. The english rap in this was Calli's invention, but the rest sticks close to the original (with their own twist on it).
To add on to others suggestions, Calli's "End of a life" has both her singing and the slower pace you were asking about (plus some sick saxophone).
Another song by Kanaria, "Envy Baby", also got the Calli treatment.
Gonna drop my usuals here: Palette by Tokoyami Towa, Hide Tide by Moona Hoshinova, Stellar Stellar by Suisei, End of a Life by Calli, I'm Your Treasure Box by Houshou Marine.
Gura and Calli are both Americans, part of Hololive's English language branch. Suisei, who you also reacted to, is part of the main Japanese branch. At the time this was recorded, Calli was still living in Japan full time, and Calli and Gura had never met in person. They both recorded their portions separately, with additional bits then added in over time, which apparently caused this cover to take a long time to actually come out.
I'd recommend Play Dice by Hakos Baelz. Its...well, Bae is supposed to be the embodiment of Chaos and the song is a perfect demonstration of it.
king and vampire are two of the most covered songs by vtubers, doing those two songs well is like a badge of honor
I love Vampire. I love Deco27 but that song specifically is so funny. The English cover by Rachie is great. ua-cam.com/video/QFlCSMlpQIQ/v-deo.html Is this about Vampires or oral sex? Yes.
Yeah one of the things about King/Vampire is they're under particular licenses that are not difficult to get so you tend to see vtubers doing a lot of those songs. When one of them happens to be popular they just kind of explode. Much easier to deal with NexTone than most labels like UMG, Sony, Victor Entertainment, etc even if those labels have some more popular songs.
Still going to plug I'm Your Treasure Box by Marine for the interesting reaction it would cause 🙂
I'll also through out Towa and say you should check out both Error and Palette by her!
If you want to see Gura and Calli doing nonsense as friends you should check out their regular streaming clips 😉
Agreed! The animated MV video first, so he can turn on CC for subtitles.
I doubt he can react to NSFW content, I remember he said he can't react to Food Wars because it's just food and bxxbs.
This MV may be uncomfortable for him.
I don't know man. *I think he will feel fairly uncomfortable.* It's looks very erotic for someone who isn't used to ecchi stuff. (I mean, he thought something as mild as some of the Fairy Tail's openings were erotic. How do you think he's gonna react to Your Treasure Box? XD)
As I see it, the reason Marine can do a song like that for Hololive is because everyone is in on the joke. But if you watch it without context...
@@cry9438 *He can, but he doesn't want to and that's fine.* I've watched at least 5 reaction series to Food Wars and 7 to Cyberpunk here in UA-cam. All you have to do is hide the screen whenever something you *think* might be bad shows up. *AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T CENSOR IT, sincerely, I think you'd have less trouble reacting to Prison School (which is pretty heavy on erotism) than to Naruto for example.* _UA-cam cares more about copyright than about how erotic is the stuff on screen in their platform._
Hell, if you look hard enough you can find even uncensored hentai games' gameplay here in UA-cam. Those I believe would be blocked if bots found them though.
This song is covered by a lot of people vtuber or not, so you could probably check out other people's covers.
They recorded this half a world apart from each other. At the time, Calli was living in Japan and Gura was in America. Yet as you said it sounded like they were in the same studio riffing off of each other. Their synergy is just that good.
You should watch the rap duet between Mori and Watame, it is called "Reaper vs Sheep" and it is a duel language rap battle style song. There are two versions, the one I recommend is the Ouen versions.
It's better watch them both in one go, as you can compare them.
Duel Compliment rap battle
A very creative take on KING. Can't do this with a lot of songs because there are a lot of problems with getting permissions to alter them.
Also once again recommending "My Song" from Tsunomaki Watame. It's one of the best you'll find in Hololive and a heavy song about her history with music. It's a must see. Amazing anime level animation as well.
and dont forget to turn on the cc on that one
Would strongly recommend "Red" by Cali.
I recommend Towa next please 👀
Her cover of Error , her original Palette,Her version of King , her cover of Eye and also her cover of “Black Sheep” and from her ep, Fact
I really want him to listen to Palette. It's SUCH a good song that you don't need to know the language to feel what it's trying to convey. 😭
@@puffy1700 thats sooo true even without knowing the backstory and just listening to the song and lyrics u can just tell
If Towa:
Pallete - emotional
My Roar (マイロア) - guitars
Fact - drums
@@x149te i wanted to suggest my roar aswell but i thought it would be best to hear her in general first, as My Roar is a very unique type of song and not something she *Usually* does
THIS PLEASE 🙏
If you want to hear Calli sing listen to her song End of a Life, its such a good song.
Gura is not a Japanese speaker. Calli can speak English and Japanese but her first language is English.
Gura is currently learning Japanese. Calli and Gura are genmates ;).
this is probably my favorite collab between those two
I'll go ahead and recommend a couple more covers: Calli's Roki and Gura's Believer. Gura does such a good job every time she sings that, and Roki is just really freaking cool. Wagakki Band's version of Roki is also worth checking out if you haven't already
Personally, seeing as you are quite liking Ironmouse, I do recommend reacting to her cover of KING its very good in my opinion
You have no idea how good it feels to be in different time zones and waking up to your reactions. From the English Hololive side, I would like to suggest all of Myth collaboration as well as Council. "Country Roads" cover by Myth was the first time they worked toghether on a song and it was beautiful. Lot's of love to Skid, he's great. Can't wait for him to drop his own album lol.
ilysm 🤣
If you want a song where Calli really shows how amazing her singing has gotten, check out her cover of World's Continuation.
Thank you as ever for a great reaction. I really love the energy and enthusiasm you bring to your reactions!
For a singing song for Calli I would say End of a Life is probably the best one, it's also a deep dive into her past.
For Suisei I'd recommend Stellar Stellar (with English Subtitles) which was the lead song for her first album.
If you want a song that is mostly Calli singing then it has to be "End of a Life". Just prepare for emotions when you do listen to her.
Calli has lived in Japan for several years and is fluent in Japanese, which is why it’s so easy for her to switch between languages. Gura has a talent for pronunciation and, while she only knows a little Japanese, she can just nail sounds (even the little differences between spoken and sung Japanese).
There are so many covers of this Music. I recomend versions by Enna Alouette, Ayunda Risu and Hoshimachi Suisei.
Let's gooo! These 2 are a sick ass duo. VToobers taking over the world! ❤️
Check out IronMouse and Nyanners “Getcha” and Omae Wa Mou with Ironmouse and Caleb.
4:01 - For a "singing song" of Calli's, check out End Of A Life.
To answer your question, neither is a native Japanese speaker. Another topic you touched on is that you felt they had fun recording the song together. Based on what I understand, they've only met in person a couple of times and likely didn't record the song in-person. They have collaborated extensively on their streams, however, and do have great chemistry.
To echo others' recommendations: Moona's "High Tide" and Calli's "End of a Life" would make fantastic next stops.
Still recommend Kiara Takanashi's Hinotori, it's damn good! Best song in Hololive for me.
I hope people make sure to credit the original artist. King is originally a vocaloid song by Kanaria, originally sung by GUMI. I know it's listed in the video and Luke mentioned it, but they are so talented as well.
Thanks for another great reaction. :)
The really COOL part about this cover is just how they really made it their own! The original is very different, Techno/Punk, and if you listen to the IronMouse version it's surprising!
Gura has done DOZENS of covers and had a weekly sing-along nearly ever week in mid 2021.
Your reactions are fantastic! I really enjoy how you have your own way of recording these and your own method! What I'll recommend first though is checking out Demondice's track "Soundless". The second recommendation is for more Hololive which would be checking out the cover of "Ochame Kinou" by Hololive EN. As for Kanaria, they do Vocaloid tracks which I believe you're familiar with. Which ever way you go, I'm looking forward to your next video!
❤️
I see what you did there 😄
@@DarkG7X What? Advertise the room mate? They're both excellent at music.
I also highly recommend "Graveyard Shift" from Mori and BOOGEY VOXX in my opinion a banger song. And also right on time for Halloween :)
The song king is on of my all time favorites all versions king is a song many people interpret and cover i love the jinja the most or iron maus version
On the topic of covers, ironmouse also has a cover of this song that's pretty good.
As for speaking Japanese, Gura is learning I think?
Calli however lives in Japan and speaks it pretty well, but she's originally from the US.
Just remembered, for Calli singing there are a few, but they released a song not too long ago called "Non-fiction" where you get to see and hear each member of their group, so Calli, Gura, Ame, Ina, and Kiara all in one song singing together.
I think youd like Guras cover of Target for Love which I believe is her first and only solo cover so far
Singing "King" is a well know tradition for Vtubers, you can find a version of it for each one of the Hololive members, each one having a different style matching the singer theme, wich is fun and deepens the tradition, its not only a "cover", is technically a statement of their creativity. By the way.. i cant wait you cover Marine, her latest song "I’m Your Treasure Box" its a must, "Unison" is an otherworld see experience, and "Ahoy!" the best song ever made XD
Don't forget "Marine Shukkou!" 😁
@@lareolanKFP ofc, i like all Marine songs, she ironically have a mature artistic taste in music styles XD for a 18y idol XD. Beside her theme shenanigans, she is a well rounded artist.
2:34 - yes, she doesn't know japanese but few phrases. She has really good ear and tongue. Very talented. She sings many karaoke streams, "The Last Stand" by Sabaton for example
5:32 - If I remember correctly, they recorded the track via discord, sending pieces of the song to each other.
Minami - main actor
"High tide" from Moona Hoshinova is really good
Ironmouse also did a cover of King and its pretty damn great as well. Definitely worth checking out
Dang, sad it's not Ayunda Risu's cover of it, but at least this version's pretty unique in how they chose to cover it!
Really hope to see you checking out more of the talents from Hololive, especially if you get a chance to hear their original songs!
Mori-chan is an amazing artist. You should listen more of her mainstream songs
> Mera Mera
> Let's end the World
> End of a Life
> Red
> Holy嫉妬
I don't know if someone has already mentioned this as there too many comments for me to readily check, but King is a song originally written/produced/mixed by an EDM artist named kanaria using the Gumi voicebank. As such it is an excellent electronic vocaloid work which tend to have very forgiving "free use with attribution" terms so covers are generally safe to record. He has quite a few original pieces that are in the same set which also get a lot of covers, but none quite as many as King.
mumei's cover of dilemma by deco*27 is amazing
As someone who recently became one of your subscribers in the last month or 2 when you popped up in my recommended section due to one of your reactions, I'm glad you got into the anime/Vtuber rabbit hole of music. It's been fun seeing such a genuine reaction to each of these songs. My dad refuses to listen to this stuff because he's stuck in liking songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Good songs but as you've found out there are plenty of songs such as this one that really are great. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions in the future :)
Gura's thing is being able to almost perfectly mimic any language and accents, it's pretty scary actually lol
I suggest Calliope Mori's songs "Oroboros" and "Make 'Em Afraid"!
Ironmouse did a cover of KING as well
0:25 I'm looking forward to this to see his face
Just so you know. This is a cover, not an original. The song is from Kanaria and sung by a virtual singer named Gumi. It’s also part of a series if I remember correctly.
Sounds like my playlist to be honest, from 'Hatsune Miku - Lucky Clover Club' to 'Disturbed - Down With the Sickness' and everything in between. You like what you like and i'm the same in that regard. Genre be damned.
These two are awesome together because they just have fun with what they do. They're both goofballs and it shows, and that's why people love their content so much. Another track from the HoloLive lineup that I absolutely adore is a cover by Hakos Baelz called Hontou no Oto. Absolutely stunning song.
You should definitely react to "End of Life", "Excuse my Rudeness" , "DEAD BEATS" by Calli and also Villain Vibes by AmaLee, feat. Calli its a total banger also a honorable mention to "RED" also by Calli
My suggestions
Hololive Myth (Calli & Gura's generation) - Journey Like a Thousand Years
Hoshimachi Suisei- Template
Moona Hoshinova- High Tide
Ayunda Risu - Alice & U
Tokoyami Towa - Pallete
i think it would be a crime not to mention suisei cover of "Saga Jihen"...also as for Halloween hololive EN group released song "myth or treat" where u can hear all of the EN group sing (first group)
I would recommend checking out some of the other Hololive King covers. My favorites are probably Sora's, Risu's, Watame's, Shion's, Towa's, and Suisei's. There are more than that though 😂.
Since you're at it, I think I can add Reine's, and one foot outside the Hololive universe, her mother Pochi's version as well: Pochi's version might not be on the same level as Reine's in terms of vocal virtuosity but the video is eye-popping with Easter eggs aplenty.
How about you react to Gawr Gura Shark d. It's a animated short on her channel about when she first came to the surface from Atlantis.
"Stellar Stellar" from Susei is a great song to get back into her music.
This version of KING almost feels like a remix, and that ain't a bad thing.
I just noticed on this listen through that when they say "Left Side, Right Side" the side the sound comes on for headphones matches
Calli's song "graveyard shift" is very nice as well, quite the jam.
I've never heard this version of king. I've heard Ironmouse and suisei( might have spelled that wrong) sing this as well. If you haven't reacted to it you should react to "off with their heads" by calliope mori and "villain vibes" by Amalee featuring calliope mori. There is also lewdtubers because of projekt melody showing up on orange UA-cam.
You should check out High Tide by Moona Hoshinova, absolutely amazing original song with stunning visuals. Moona is from Indonesian branch of Hololive and she's amazing, as well as the rest of the girls from HoloID.
Oh you have to watch Myths Bad Ending, it was put out in installments while it was being created and they finally finished it, you would do well to know some of the lore assosicated with Holomyth girls but its awesome anyway if you don't know. Its a cool animation someone made that has blown fans away.
Don’t know if anyone has said this but ironmouse has also done a cover of this song, which I suggest checking out
You should check out the Hololive Alternative PVs. There's 2 of them and probably the closest you can get to anime openings to Hololive.
9:54
One of Calli's deep ,slow music is "end of a life".
That song is talking about Calli's personal life before joining Hololive.
Not only the lyrics, the beat and music is sooooo beautiful.
You must react to this song, trust me.
First of all, you MUST check the original MV in Calli's channel with all 5 of the Myth gen called "Non-Fiction" . At this one Calli does NOT rap.
For other recommendations:
- Suisei, has stuff like Comet.
- Towa(-sama), has stuff like Error and Palette.
- Marine, I see is mentioned mostly because of her recent original Treasure Box song.
- If we want to talk recency bias, we have Sora that did a cover with Calli - Suisei - AZKi - IRyS.
- Towa(-sama) also did a cover of Hikaru Nara with Chloe - Lui - Robocco - Mel.
- Mel has a rap cover of Luvoratory with Kanata and Calli.
- Watame did a two sides song with Calli. Each side on their channels.
- Personal favorite of IRyS is Berserker.
- Then you have Moona with High Tide.
- Risu with Flos.
- Reine with two sides cover with Risu of Kakumei Dualism.
Ado - Crime and Punishment, you will not regret it!😊
Calli is one of the best rappers of Hololive. The other one is Watame. They both have a Rap battle called Reaper vs Sheep. I really recommend it, it has two versions, btw.
Holomyth's Bad Ending is a fan animation about Calliope, Gura, Amelia, Ina, and Kiara (Holomyth, Hololive EN's fist generation) that was just finally completed over a year of work. It speaks to Hololive lore and is a modern great work of art. A reaction to that would be much loved by the fans.
Check out cover by Axel Syrios called yoidore shirazu. He is from holostars EN. They are not as popular as hololive EN girls but this song is his first cover. It's great you will like it give it a try
Yeah, these two together are a dream team!
End of a Life by Cali. Stellar Stellar by Suisei. Both of them also have songs with Taku Inoue that are awesome. Yona Yona Journey is an upbeat Jazzy kinda song with Cali, and Sanji Juunihun aka 3:12 with Suisei is a very mellow song. If you want something a little closer to a Halloween vibe there's Myth or Treat which Cali wrote the lyrics for and is sung by all of her genmates including gura. Also Graveyard Shift with Cali and Boogey Voxx.
Cali's latest cover song focuses more on her singing so that's the one you want to check out next if that's what you're after😃
Check out Baby Metal, their genre is "Kawaii Metal" which is basically a mix between J-pop and Heavy Metal.
I recommend "Megitsune" and "Ijime, Dame, Zettai"
Next is Marine "You're Treasure Box?" YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH
Slipping in Recommendations for my favorite singing Vtuber Hoshimachi Suisei. My favorites from her are Stellar Stellar her 1st track from her first album. Next Color Planet from Suisei is another one, this was the song where she decided to seriously pursue music due to positive reviews
I feel obligated to pitch some of the less promoted Hololive singers and their amazing songs:
Sakura Miko: "My Name Is Elite", "Sakurakaze", "Baby Dance"
Amane Kanata: "Tokusya-Seizon Wonder-la-der!!", "Tenshi no Agape"
Shirakami Fubuki: "Say! Fanfare!", "KONKON BEATS"
Oozora Subaru: "Pleiades!"
Honestly I could keep going for a while but those are some standouts for me.
Wow a year already? well, with a genuine reactions like that, it's easy to see how much you like music! you channel gonna grow "Even further BEYOND" (that's a famous anime quote btw). You're awersome dude!
Hololive alternative full version has cali singing on it song is called dawn blue
Another great reaction. Thank you for always bringing energy to it, it is refreshing after hard days!
As recommendation for this rabbit hole I will keep pointing out Tokoyami Towas' Palette.
There is a lot to discover in Hololive. Even if you look aside the usual "singers", most members have original songs and they differ vastly in style .
Since you understand the greatness this dynamic duo and the epicness of Calli raps. Time to react to "REFLECT" by Gura original mv. This song brings down mens to tears.
For Calli I would recommend: End of a Life, Red and Scuffed up age.
For next steps into the rabbit hole i would suggest;
"Im Your Treasure Box" by Houshou Marine
"Ahoy" (short and full version) by Houshou Marine
"Palette" by Tokoyami Towa
"ERROR" cover by Tokoyami Towa
"High Tide" by Moona Hooshinova
"Alice & U" by Ayunda Risu
"Shallys" by Aki Roshenthal (this song isn't in japanese, it's in a elven language that lore-wise is the language spoken where this half-elf comes from, and is very interesting to hear)
As for some group songs:
"Non Fiction" by HoloEN 1st Generation (Calliope Mori, Gawr Gura, Takanashi Kiara, Amelia Watson and Ninomae Inanis)
"Stardust Song" by Tokoyami Towa, Amane Kanata and Shiranui Flare
"Suspect" by Aki Rosenthal, Nakiri Ayame and Roboco
"Shiny Smiley Story" last version with all 6 generations from Holo Japan (anthem of Hololive)
"Ochame Kinou" by 24 Hololive Japan members (the most viewed song from Hololive and a classic)
And if you want to check more from Calli and Suisei
"Stellar Stellar" by Hoshimachi Suisei
"Saga Jihen" cover by Hoshimachi Suisei ft Hololive JP 3rd Generation
"End of a life" by Calliope Mori
"Off with your heads" by Calliope Mori
"Wicked" by Hoshimachi Suisei ft Calliope Mori
"GETCHA!" cover by Hoshimachi Suisei ft Calliope Mori
Hope you enjoy going down this rabbit hole, there are some amazing and very differenta and unique singers in Hololive so im sure you will enjoy this journey!
You should watch some clips of gura karaoke streams, they are hilarious lol
Gotta be Moona - High Tide reaction coming up. Such a strong performance.
They both can speak japanese Calli lives in Japan. But they are not native speakers.
You need really to hear all the King Covers from hololive and if not all then at least Suisei, Risu, and Sora King Covers
