I dunno, man. This reaction was kinda shit. If feels way too TikTok-y. Like, you're fighting for your life to give some substance to the video-and you're losing Edit: if you don't even say "Sorry for pausing. Back 5" its not even worth watching IMO
Admittedly, the beat just really fits the nature of Dandadan really well. I think it’s more happenstance that it was also used for Bling-Bang-Bang-Born than any sort of genuine laziness or repetitiveness Edit: Yeah, this is more of a “lightning struck twice” situation than anything else
I fully agree. I was going to come here to say this: The music fully embodies the craziness, chaos, and catharsis of Dan Da Dan. I think it was true happenstance as well. Mashle: Magic and Mayhem-the protagonist is so gangster that Jersey Rap was very fitting for the second season OP. This isn't Jersey Rap, as the bed squeak is a vital genre characteristic.
this, this exactly. it feels like they began with a similar start point for both tracks, and while both have plenty of their own merit to stand alone as good songs (not just good OPs), this one feels like a 100% completely perfect fit for dandadan. vs w/ mashle where i felt like it was more "cool song for cool popular anime". and creepy nuts has a unique style, i dont feel like that should be a knock against them either.
Also, I just think that a lot of people don't realize that that's just how this genre sounds (jersey). Songs are bound to sound similar if it's in the same genre. But a lot of people don't know what jersey is so they can only come to the conclusion of "it's very similar" instead of "oh it's jersey, it's supposed to sound a bit like this"
Lightning strikes twice isn't really fair when they used two very similar beats. If it was two very different sounds that were great it would be more impressive.
Actualy that background sound in the 'dandadan dandadan dandadan' part is a clasic japanese horror theme sound. That flute 'fwuuu wooo' sound then followed by some kind of ghost slowly coming out of the darkness is very cliché japanese
Can you please give me more info about this? I wanna know more about the originao melody and I've been racking my head because I know I heard that melody somewhere else!
This anime was blessed with the perfect trinity of having Science Saru animating, Creepy Nuts singing the OP, and VA's who fit the characters to a tee.
I don't mind the similarity because it has its own quirks and it develops later on into different parts of the song. To me, all the parts just feel nice together, so I can't say it's the same song as the last one.
It’s also a completely different song for a whole newer, bigger audience so who cares. Might as well be eternally disappointed in ALLLLLLL music as you recognize patterns everywhere.

One should be able to discuss and critique music without resulting "eternally disappointed in ALLLLL" music as being the reaction to the observations pointed out by someone.

@@DrumRollTonyReacts lol I think because this is your video, you’re read too much into my comment and made it more “dramatic” in your head.

I understand your critiques, I just think saying them a couple times maxed would’ve sufficed but it seemed to ding your opinion on the song more than it should’ve imo, which includes dinging the mood. No need for that, it’s meant for a much more expanded audience - a one-off in that sense - and it works great.

@germanshepherd2701 ....uhh that's what this video is. We observed the A and B section from a musical standpoint. Comparison to ONE song is not a meta analysis of their discography but happens to be somewhat in order here as the hype was SOLELY based around the release of a new anime....Dan Da Dan. It's only natural to include the discussion of Mashle's OP as Anime drove both their recent hits.
The big difference comes through the tempo. Otonoke being 170 bpm pulls its intro into the realm of footwork (which is related to hip hop, ghetto house and drum and bass). Bling-Bang-Bang-Born (the Mashle op) is at 157 which pulls it towards house and breaks (to which I know I’m stretching it a bit). Plus, the song completely changes its feel midway through where as “Bling-“ more or less keeps the same theme throughout. Although they invoke similar thoughts, I think each tune is unique enough to stand by itself.
@@MstrNel Relax MstrNel, no need to be rude. I asked in the video about the tempo differences between the two songs as well as a question about what people generally thought between the two compositions. This person was simply answering that. My videos are about observations of the music on a first time listen. You seemed to not like that I was the tiniest bit critical and somehow think its about envy. LOL, trust me I think its cool that cultures around the world are inspired by American club music and make their own variations on it. That is how it should be. Envy? The music styles and musicians I am envious of are ...VERY different than this its not comparable. I did laugh out loud when I read your comment tho. Have a good one.
Yeah, the rhythm is kinda similar with bling bang bang born but I see it as their identity or uniqueness as an artist. They always make my head bob whenever I listen to their song.
haven't seen their other songs but whenever I hear a similar beat or rhythm from an artist's previous song into their new song I would assume it's just their style
Honestly, I feel like it was made as a request. Like, the director or producer saw BBBB and thought, "THAT'S IT! THAT'S OUR OPENING!" It's just very fitting for Dandadan, when I first time saw the news that Creepy Nuts handling the OP I wasn't even surprised, more like, "yeah, makes sense" lol
The title of the song “Otonoke” means “Monster of Music". It is thought that he compared the way his music touches the listener's heart to a monster that haunts human beings.
i don’t know much about music but i always love hearing his takes and expertise, i really like this song and get what he means about it being similar to the other song, he didn’t say the name of it like it’s voldemort lmao
I like how they built the whole song around the rhythm inhereny in the name of the manga. The way he emphasizes the rhythm when he raps it really makes it legible and comprehensive too
@@TimberlyPL yes I know. I especially love yofukashi no uta but just that and daten didn't have even a quarter of the effect as bling bang bang born or this.

You're one of two people I really look forward to seeing op reactions from. It's because you actually have musical commentary. You're also the only one who scratches the part of my brain that misses hearing the word paradiddle.
Creepy nuts have been releasing music to millions of views for 14 years and even between the mashle OP and this one they’ve been releasing songs so it doesn’t bother me if there’s a similarity here. This song fits the anime perfectly and that’s something creepy nuts take very seriously and (I think) do very well when coming up with a song for a piece of Media. 2 way nice guy was a song they did for way of the househusband and I think they did an equally good job there too
It does fit the weird alien 👽 perved out vibe for sure. I need to check out more of their catalog tbh 🎶 Millions of views is not my qualifier for quality but just what the masses intake. We all know how that goes 👀😅. I'm not familiar with 2 way nice guy, I'll have to check it out 🤘
@@DrumRollTonyReactshell yeah please do! From their catalog I highly recommend their super popular Yofukashi no uta, daten, to us former prodigies, loss time and biriken but I think you’d really appreciate Gouhou Teki Tobi Kata No Susume. That’s a lot sorry 😅 but there’s so many songs so maybe all of this can give you a starting point!
@@broctaeshi4everthey had quite a few songs together before they were signed and releasing songs under their label as creepy nuts. Unfortunately because the way a lot of Japanese music tends to be, it’s very hard to find outside of Japan
I’m grateful that you’re bringing up criticism as well as parts you enjoy, it proves how genuine your reactions are and that you truly care for the content you make. I feel I need to leave a like for that 🙏
Ive been here since your first AOT song react/breakdowns and as much as i appreciate the entertainment, man, ive learned so much and do everytime. Ive played drums for 30 years and i feel like a kid learning back in the day. F*in appreciate you bro
What a nice break from hurricane stuff today (been dealing with Milton stuffs last few hours). 30+ min break in Milton’s bands, so I can finally relax for a bit. Can’t wait for the reaction
You are one of the most knowledgeable and underrated reactors (not really at 287k subs) I've ever watched. I had no one else to talk to about the musical technicalities of Creepy Nuts' work from Bling Bang Bang Born and Otonoke and you have such an extensive knowledge in composition that made me instantly subbed. Thank you for this video! I enjoyed it a lot and I learned new things especially when it comes to delivery and composition. Will definitely use this for the songs I'll be working on in the future. I can't wait to watch more of your videos and learn more!
In the context of this being written primarily as an anime intro, I think the repetative rhythm sounding like the name of the show that stays constant throughout the song is a stroke of genius. Its as if you can hear the name of the show you are about to watch on every bar. I don't know ofcourse but I suspect that this was deliberate and therefore some very clever song writing in my opinion.
The producers of Dan Da Dan most likely requested a similar theme to Mushle. Nothing less, nothing more. They have a rich repertoire of themes in their songs.
its insane how well trained your ears are to be able to pick up such minor details(to me) in music. you definitely love your craft man! pros are the pros for a reason
Up until the second half of the song it really just feels like one of those free style background beats you'd have someone doing the the background when just hanging with friends or in school. This whole song is just pure street beatbox vibes and I feel like it's way better if you understand the words, but the vocal harmony still flows through if you don't. Then it just ascends to heaven lol
I love this song so much i play it in loop for hours... it's like waking you up , getting you to move the at the end you feel spiritually fulfilled. Happy
I didn't even look at Tony's channel name. As a former marching band kid, I love hearing from a drumline guy 💜 I didn't realize why I loved that rhythm until watching this video-- it reminds me of the battery in band ❤❤
I love how "Dandadan" could be perceived as the beat of the heart in adrenaline filled situations. Whether that be running from ghosts, being attacked by aliens, or falling in love.
The lyrics have some crazy cool meanings that fit Dandadan's theme, that high pitched sound effect is a sped up lyric from like a 1915's song too, which is just awesome.
I agree. When they drop the drums and start the "hei data. hei data. hei data." keyboard section that's when I really fell in love with the song. Also, dig the Seahawks.
melodically i think also that guitar riff in the chorus almost echoes the melody of the vocals which helps stick the vocal dandadan melody as the “main” syncopation to follow follow compared to the 3:2 polyrhythm in the second half of the dandadan phrase. great insight from the rhythmic perspective from someone who is admittedly more tunnel visioned on melodic lines as a sax player!
That beginning part with the highs and lows is reminiscent to paranormal sounds, specifically UFO’s/ghosts which is a recurring theme in the show. It’s a cool little Easter egg in the intro.
The songs they make to match the anime's theme are so on point, like what they did for Call of the Night, Mashle and many others! Plus it's the animation + ost combo is what makes the adaptation peak! It's rare these days that we get a good combo of animation, music/sound design, and a good manga story to begin with!
@@prajwalwankar1826 I personally like the op more but the Ed is very good, I’ve even made a guitar cover of it in a day cause I liked it that much lol.
Ooh I've been waiting for your reaction to Otonoke! I think your music reactions have the best depth/info to them rather than just "oh that's nice" of a lot of the other creators. Also, Go Hawks!
It's a hard sell to say that a rhythm alone is a genre. This rhythm is not unique or new by any means, but when used combined with the bass tones and vocal/hip hop stylings...it gets closer.
@@DrumRollTonyReactsI think what he meant to say is that the rhythm is a part/characteristic of another genre, which is correct. All Jersey club songs use that kick pattern, much like all reggaeton uses the same drum rhythm.
@@eastiezz I already replied to this. so Im not sure why there is follow up. Their quote was "this rhythm is a separate genre in fact".... in fact rhythm is NOT a genre. It takes multiple factors to make a genre. Four on the floor is present in so many genres I cant possibly list them all. The rythms in Jersey beat is present in other stuff.. the rhythms in reggaeton is present in other stuff as well.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Yea Ik, I was just tryna i guess "reword" the original comment in a way that would make the statement more credible or have a stronger argument. But I agree with everything you said
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Where else do you hear the Jersey kick rhythm anywhere near as prominently as in Jersey Club tracks? With the squeak sounds and the way the samples are arranged, I don't think it's a stretch at all to call this a Jersey Club song.
I feel you, Tony. If one of their songs sounds similar and you heard that first, it would make sense that it wouldn't have as much of an impact. That can happen with any artist.
I also feel that the beginning was crafted in a way that would work well as an anime intro . The second half usually gives artist the chance to have more fun with it at least imo . I only listened to the full version once but would be curious what your thoughts are , especially if it's a First Take version
hige dandism released a new song for an anime called "blue box" called "Same Blue". That would be a fun react if you're interested. The full version adds a lot to the song.
I think the similarities can be a good thing at certain level, it's how you know you are listening to Creepy Nuts whithout checking, or you know it's Linkin Park when you hear Linkin Park, etc. It gives identity to the artist/band. Daft Punk also has great similarity across their music.
Good points Tony. I will say that Jersey Club music genre in itself has this distinct drum rhythm. For me its infectious and there is enough variation in tone, which here ranges from dark, minimalistic and tribal to chill, fun, open/epic/pseudo-ballad and finally melodic to the Mashle opening which feels more fun but goofy. Although someone with a golden ear which requires stimulation to keep the brain excited will find something like this almost copycat in nature which again, the jersey club genre is.
Love your in-depth analysis, your verbalization and visualization of it for simplicity. Thanks as always for a fun one. I agree with the nitpicking part. There are indeed similarities, I won't even sugar coat it, core is as close as it gets, not the same but still a slight alteration. I think it is kind of love or hate thing. I personally dig that but if your works get oversaturated with similar pieces it may start to bore your listener in the long run. The thing I like about these similarities the mindset that lead to these similarities. Like humbleness and earnest effort of artist, having a little bit of inferiority complex towards themselves with their perfectionism, believing that they are only good for this one trick. Then without putting that single piece they made aside, they keep building on it with each piece, so each piece becomes a masterpiece, whole set of pieces become a single piece, progress with time between them becomes its core progression, core keeps expanding and more keep getting built on it. Whatever last becomes that one piece, squeezed from that giant one piece consisting all pieces. It also becomes the signature of that artist, %98 of the time you can't mistake them with anyone else for. IDK I see that kind of joy in that, very intricately done art through a whole journey it tells, fingerprint of its soul. Of course this fundamentally applies to all kinds of art progression. But I have a different admiration for ones having balls and determination to stick with THE ONE against all odds. It is their world, their story. Not just progression of skills or musical elements as compartments, but progression of the art itself as whole. Somehow that gives it life. Or maybe us humans reach a threshold where we see validity to see it as something alive. It is there though.
Dude he has had multiple hit songs even prior to the last one, this is just his style of music which for japanese is somewhat unique, no one over there sounds like him
I also find it interesting when you can draw parallels with the pace of the song to the pace of the show. The source material sorta starts with a bunch of crazy then has a period of calmer exploration leading into adventure and the song flows that way.
I appreciate that you actually critique it. It feels like a lot of people that react to anime OPs just hype them up without really giving any criticism. Whether listeners agree or disagree with your thoughts is entirely personal, but it's refreshing to hear
Fun fact, the high pitched background melody during the rap part, got sampled from an old song called "I've been floating down the old green river" by billy murray. They changed the speed and the pitch of the vocals.
The vibe of the song ( like the show) is something like, I’m doing a thing here and you’re not gonna like it if you ask questions. Then it gets serious and hits some expert notes and moments, before insisting it is what it is.
They do have another song called Daten that was another anime opening. The ending for that show was also done by the and was the song that inspired the Manga. The ending was called stayin' up lullaby.
Love that your not super pressed to praise the track to the max because it's popular. I have 0 musical production knowledge, but, as a normy, I'd like to share a quick thought. Personally, this song speaks to me as a fan who's been reading Dandadan for years. The feelings I get in the progression that the song gives is like a microcosm of how it feels when reading the series itself. The way these guys make songs is almost like they were tailor made to star this opening for the series. The creepy (ha) instrumentals with thumping, unusual baselines and snappy lyrics transitioning into melodic strings and vocals. They bring out those memories of reading certain chapters for the first time effortlessly, and I think those moments have now been enhanced for me, since I'll likely be thinking back to this track on subsequent re-reads.
I feel like the 2nd part of the song is underrated. You see plenty of TikTok’s and reels of the first part but not the second part. The whole song is 🔥
I am addicted to the first part of this song, until it passes to the lighter singing part. That part is good too but something about the beat, the lyrics, and that background noise is so pleasing to my ears. I have never heard any of there other stuff, but I love this.
Yeah that is correct but I think showing that grouping to average folks is more difficult to understand. It's definitely 16th note triplet based within the song which is why I went further to say we use that pattern within paradiddlediiddles often. Huh gah dahs are fun. The idea here was to show isolation of note values with a simpler visual.
As someone who watched both anime (Mashle and now currently Dan Da Dan) I enjoyed the fact that I was able to recognize the artist. As in to me it wasn't repetitive but kind of like a obvious signature? Because I don't follow opening song artists outside of the openings it was kind of cool to me that I was able to instantly recognize it was the same people. But I totally see where you are coming from that it sounded very similar :) Also I enjoy your reaction videos
And we have to talk about how many lyrics relate to occult or paranormal things which just makes it a bit nicer for an anime with such themes! Creepy nuts has been blowing up like crazy lately and LUCKY FOR THEM!! While yes this song does have some parts where it sounds similar to bling bang bang born, they still delivered a great song with great lyrics
The reason it’s so comparable to Bling Bang Born is because Creepy Nuts just adopted a standard Jersey Club beat and added their own personal flourishes to them
when i first heard it, I got the impression it was a call back to mashle. it just to quick nod to "hey, it's creepy nuts". then it switches to a different mood. I've been listening to their last album and their other music is much more varied and diverse
Honestly, Idrc how similar it is to Bling Blang Born, but man, some of the visuals in the opening makes me feel a certain way. I love how they made Jiji goofy. Just like he is in the series 😂

It does fit the weird alien 👽 perved out vibe for sure. I need to check out more of their catalog tbh 🎶 Millions of views is not my qualifier for quality but just what the masses intake. We all know how that goes 👀😅. I'm not familiar with 2 way nice guy, I'll have to check it out 🤘
Creepy Nuts first EP was back in 2016 so idk where the 14 years come from? But yeah 2way nice guy is an amazing song.
Didn’t they form in 2015? but maybe you’re referring to when they were solo artists?
@@DrumRollTonyReactshell yeah please do! From their catalog I highly recommend their super popular Yofukashi no uta, daten, to us former prodigies, loss time and biriken but I think you’d really appreciate Gouhou Teki Tobi Kata No Susume. That’s a lot sorry 😅 but there’s so many songs so maybe all of this can give you a starting point!
@@broctaeshi4everthey had quite a few songs together before they were signed and releasing songs under their label as creepy nuts. Unfortunately because the way a lot of Japanese music tends to be, it’s very hard to find outside of Japan
I’m grateful that you’re bringing up criticism as well as parts you enjoy, it proves how genuine your reactions are and that you truly care for the content you make. I feel I need to leave a like for that 🙏
Ive been here since your first AOT song react/breakdowns and as much as i appreciate the entertainment, man, ive learned so much and do everytime. Ive played drums for 30 years and i feel like a kid learning back in the day. F*in appreciate you bro
What a nice break from hurricane stuff today (been dealing with Milton stuffs last few hours). 30+ min break in Milton’s bands, so I can finally relax for a bit. Can’t wait for the reaction
Sorry to hear about that. The news has been very scary regarding the hurricane
WE'RE GETTING OUR BALLS BACK WITH THIS ONE!
You are one of the most knowledgeable and underrated reactors (not really at 287k subs) I've ever watched. I had no one else to talk to about the musical technicalities of Creepy Nuts' work from Bling Bang Bang Born and Otonoke and you have such an extensive knowledge in composition that made me instantly subbed. Thank you for this video! I enjoyed it a lot and I learned new things especially when it comes to delivery and composition. Will definitely use this for the songs I'll be working on in the future. I can't wait to watch more of your videos and learn more!
Thank you for appreciating what this channel is really about
In the context of this being written primarily as an anime intro, I think the repetative rhythm sounding like the name of the show that stays constant throughout the song is a stroke of genius. Its as if you can hear the name of the show you are about to watch on every bar. I don't know ofcourse but I suspect that this was deliberate and therefore some very clever song writing in my opinion.
The Dan Da Dan rhythm was primo genius
The producers of Dan Da Dan most likely requested a similar theme to Mushle. Nothing less, nothing more. They have a rich repertoire of themes in their songs.
its insane how well trained your ears are to be able to pick up such minor details(to me) in music. you definitely love your craft man! pros are the pros for a reason
Up until the second half of the song it really just feels like one of those free style background beats you'd have someone doing the the background when just hanging with friends or in school. This whole song is just pure street beatbox vibes and I feel like it's way better if you understand the words, but the vocal harmony still flows through if you don't. Then it just ascends to heaven lol
Heavenly 😅
the second i knew creppy nuts made this i came straight here to see your reaction much love man love your vids
i always love your reactions and analysis, makes me notice and appreciate the small details 💜
i bet you'll also really enjoy the ending, its so fun! 👌
I love this song so much i play it in loop for hours... it's like waking you up , getting you to move the at the end you feel spiritually fulfilled. Happy
The great thing of these lyrics is that they all rhyme with Dan-Da-Dan (An-A-An), the title of the anime.
I didn't even look at Tony's channel name. As a former marching band kid, I love hearing from a drumline guy 💜 I didn't realize why I loved that rhythm until watching this video-- it reminds me of the battery in band ❤❤
I love how "Dandadan" could be perceived as the beat of the heart in adrenaline filled situations. Whether that be running from ghosts, being attacked by aliens, or falling in love.
I'm following you from Italy, Grest job man!
The lyrics have some crazy cool meanings that fit Dandadan's theme, that high pitched sound effect is a sped up lyric from like a 1915's song too, which is just awesome.
I agree. When they drop the drums and start the "hei data. hei data. hei data." keyboard section that's when I really fell in love with the song. Also, dig the Seahawks.
Hairatai
the little dance at 6:50 is everything to me
PLEASE listen to the Blue Box opening! As a percussionist it tickled my brain bc it’s so unique compared to regular anime openings!
melodically i think also that guitar riff in the chorus almost echoes the melody of the vocals which helps stick the vocal dandadan melody as the “main” syncopation to follow follow compared to the 3:2 polyrhythm in the second half of the dandadan phrase. great insight from the rhythmic perspective from someone who is admittedly more tunnel visioned on melodic lines as a sax player!
We all have our main music focus as related to primary instruments.
I think this song sounds completely different than Bling as a whole, any similarities just feels like its a part of Creepy Nuts' identity.
Same, honestly was trying really hard to hear the similarity, and the only thing I noticed was the Jersey Club kick
That beginning part with the highs and lows is reminiscent to paranormal sounds, specifically UFO’s/ghosts which is a recurring theme in the show. It’s a cool little Easter egg in the intro.
The songs they make to match the anime's theme are so on point, like what they did for Call of the Night, Mashle and many others!
Plus it's the animation + ost combo is what makes the adaptation peak!
It's rare these days that we get a good combo of animation, music/sound design, and a good manga story to begin with!
I like imagining creepy nuts eyes turning into dollar signs the moment they realised they could use the name of the manga/anime as a beat & lyric!! 🤣
Everytime a new episode comes out, the intro is a first time reaction lol I love it
React to the ed dandadan by zutomayo
I 2nd that 🙏🏽
Yes yes!
Hell yeah
hot take :ed >>>op
@@prajwalwankar1826 I personally like the op more but the Ed is very good, I’ve even made a guitar cover of it in a day cause I liked it that much lol.
Ooh I've been waiting for your reaction to Otonoke! I think your music reactions have the best depth/info to them rather than just "oh that's nice" of a lot of the other creators.
Also, Go Hawks!
GO HAWKS! Big game tomorrow night
This rhythm is a separate genre in fact. It's called Jersey Club. This genre also includes bed squeaks, rattles and other sounds
It's a hard sell to say that a rhythm alone is a genre. This rhythm is not unique or new by any means, but when used combined with the bass tones and vocal/hip hop stylings...it gets closer.
@@DrumRollTonyReactsI think what he meant to say is that the rhythm is a part/characteristic of another genre, which is correct. All Jersey club songs use that kick pattern, much like all reggaeton uses the same drum rhythm.
@@eastiezz I already replied to this. so Im not sure why there is follow up. Their quote was "this rhythm is a separate genre in fact".... in fact rhythm is NOT a genre. It takes multiple factors to make a genre. Four on the floor is present in so many genres I cant possibly list them all. The rythms in Jersey beat is present in other stuff.. the rhythms in reggaeton is present in other stuff as well.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Yea Ik, I was just tryna i guess "reword" the original comment in a way that would make the statement more credible or have a stronger argument. But I agree with everything you said
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Where else do you hear the Jersey kick rhythm anywhere near as prominently as in Jersey Club tracks? With the squeak sounds and the way the samples are arranged, I don't think it's a stretch at all to call this a Jersey Club song.
I have been waiting for this since the very minute I first heard this opening.
I actually thought it was way too simplistic of an arrangement for him to get a good reaction video out of it 😂 but glad he did anyways
Definitely listen to the full version and it also has an instrumental version which both of them are very good
好きな曲を具体的に理解できるきっかけをくれてありがとう。
1:59 Nah I liked the drum line sidetrack, loved playing in my hs band. Keep up the good work dude
Thank you for your honest input. I've been loving to listen to this song but I do appreciate a professional look into it.
I feel you, Tony. If one of their songs sounds similar and you heard that first, it would make sense that it wouldn't have as much of an impact. That can happen with any artist.
The rhythm of the vocals during the verse are super polyrhythm, which I love... You can find that a lot in Djent types of music.
I also feel that the beginning was crafted in a way that would work well as an anime intro . The second half usually gives artist the chance to have more fun with it at least imo .
I only listened to the full version once but would be curious what your thoughts are , especially if it's a First Take version
hige dandism released a new song for an anime called "blue box" called "Same Blue". That would be a fun react if you're interested. The full version adds a lot to the song.
I think the similarities can be a good thing at certain level, it's how you know you are listening to Creepy Nuts whithout checking, or you know it's Linkin Park when you hear Linkin Park, etc. It gives identity to the artist/band. Daft Punk also has great similarity across their music.
Good points Tony. I will say that Jersey Club music genre in itself has this distinct drum rhythm. For me its infectious and there is enough variation in tone, which here ranges from dark, minimalistic and tribal to chill, fun, open/epic/pseudo-ballad and finally melodic to the Mashle opening which feels more fun but goofy. Although someone with a golden ear which requires stimulation to keep the brain excited will find something like this almost copycat in nature which again, the jersey club genre is.
Love your in-depth analysis, your verbalization and visualization of it for simplicity. Thanks as always for a fun one.
I agree with the nitpicking part. There are indeed similarities, I won't even sugar coat it, core is as close as it gets, not the same but still a slight alteration. I think it is kind of love or hate thing. I personally dig that but if your works get oversaturated with similar pieces it may start to bore your listener in the long run.
The thing I like about these similarities the mindset that lead to these similarities. Like humbleness and earnest effort of artist, having a little bit of inferiority complex towards themselves with their perfectionism, believing that they are only good for this one trick. Then without putting that single piece they made aside, they keep building on it with each piece, so each piece becomes a masterpiece, whole set of pieces become a single piece, progress with time between them becomes its core progression, core keeps expanding and more keep getting built on it. Whatever last becomes that one piece, squeezed from that giant one piece consisting all pieces. It also becomes the signature of that artist, %98 of the time you can't mistake them with anyone else for. IDK I see that kind of joy in that, very intricately done art through a whole journey it tells, fingerprint of its soul.
Of course this fundamentally applies to all kinds of art progression. But I have a different admiration for ones having balls and determination to stick with THE ONE against all odds. It is their world, their story. Not just progression of skills or musical elements as compartments, but progression of the art itself as whole. Somehow that gives it life. Or maybe us humans reach a threshold where we see validity to see it as something alive. It is there though.
Dude he has had multiple hit songs even prior to the last one, this is just his style of music which for japanese is somewhat unique, no one over there sounds like him
And? Are we are not allowed to discuss the music because "dude he has multiple hit songs"
I also find it interesting when you can draw parallels with the pace of the song to the pace of the show. The source material sorta starts with a bunch of crazy then has a period of calmer exploration leading into adventure and the song flows that way.
I appreciate that you actually critique it. It feels like a lot of people that react to anime OPs just hype them up without really giving any criticism. Whether listeners agree or disagree with your thoughts is entirely personal, but it's refreshing to hear
One of the first openings I don’t skip this song fits and sets the mood perfectly and I love the “dandadan” at the end
Fun fact, the high pitched background melody during the rap part, got sampled from an old song called "I've been floating down the old green river" by billy murray. They changed the speed and the pitch of the vocals.
Because reddit said so. Lol. Must be true
@DrumRollTonyReacts i dont use reddit but theres a video on youtube
The vibe of the song ( like the show) is something like, I’m doing a thing here and you’re not gonna like it if you ask questions. Then it gets serious and hits some expert notes and moments, before insisting it is what it is.
Bruh I can not get enough of this song. 🤣 I honestly hope they keep this theme for future anime openings.
Love how you break down the song and the functions/influences of each instrument
They do have another song called Daten that was another anime opening. The ending for that show was also done by the and was the song that inspired the Manga. The ending was called stayin' up lullaby.
4:02 i love listen to music but i dnt know sht about music, as long its catchy and makes my body move itself, well u got me. nice reaction btw sir😄
Fiiinally someone who does honest reaction videos! None of those overly optimistic fake reactions
I like how they incorporated the Title of the anime into the rythm with that Dan da dan dan da dan da dan
Love that your not super pressed to praise the track to the max because it's popular. I have 0 musical production knowledge, but, as a normy, I'd like to share a quick thought.
Personally, this song speaks to me as a fan who's been reading Dandadan for years. The feelings I get in the progression that the song gives is like a microcosm of how it feels when reading the series itself. The way these guys make songs is almost like they were tailor made to star this opening for the series. The creepy (ha) instrumentals with thumping, unusual baselines and snappy lyrics transitioning into melodic strings and vocals. They bring out those memories of reading certain chapters for the first time effortlessly, and I think those moments have now been enhanced for me, since I'll likely be thinking back to this track on subsequent re-reads.
The “little voice” in the beat is actually a lyric from “the schooners went past” sped up
Definitely feeling the vibe of this OP I loved it! I honestly just love all of Creepy Nuts' work
I watched the first episode and i was surprised how entertaining it was 😂
the first subtle tones in the opening part sounds a little alien-like, so fitting!
I feel like the 2nd part of the song is underrated. You see plenty of TikTok’s and reels of the first part but not the second part. The whole song is 🔥
待ってた！！！
5:39 Totally true, that rhythm has been stuck in my mind for a month
That horn you're talking about is meant to sound more like a freaky demon vocal. It's on theme.
studio probably told them we want the miracle recipe from the last opening
I am addicted to the first part of this song, until it passes to the lighter singing part. That part is good too but something about the beat, the lyrics, and that background noise is so pleasing to my ears. I have never heard any of there other stuff, but I love this.
Thanks bro appreciate you this is another new banger
Hey, nice vid!! I believe in minute 1:25 the beat is divided by 6 notes, every beat playing 1, 4 and 5 respectively. :)
Yeah that is correct but I think showing that grouping to average folks is more difficult to understand. It's definitely 16th note triplet based within the song which is why I went further to say we use that pattern within paradiddlediiddles often. Huh gah dahs are fun. The idea here was to show isolation of note values with a simpler visual.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts in that you are right. Thanks a bunch! :)
As someone who watched both anime (Mashle and now currently Dan Da Dan) I enjoyed the fact that I was able to recognize the artist. As in to me it wasn't repetitive but kind of like a obvious signature? Because I don't follow opening song artists outside of the openings it was kind of cool to me that I was able to instantly recognize it was the same people. But I totally see where you are coming from that it sounded very similar :) Also I enjoy your reaction videos
YEEEEEEEEEEEES when i first listened to the opening, i was thinking about how i wanted to see you react to it. Sooooo happy about this
The Blue Box OP is the opening of the year.
Not making a reaction video is a crime.
2:48 they used a sample from "I'Ve Been Floating Down The Old Green River" by Billy Murray (Minutes 2:17, 2:20, 2:22)
Been patiently waiting for this song to officially drop so I could hear a proper analysis by Tony the GOAT 🔥
Seeing Turbo Granny makes me happy everytime ^^
And we have to talk about how many lyrics relate to occult or paranormal things which just makes it a bit nicer for an anime with such themes! Creepy nuts has been blowing up like crazy lately and LUCKY FOR THEM!! While yes this song does have some parts where it sounds similar to bling bang bang born, they still delivered a great song with great lyrics
I love the drumline bits please keep them in!!
I am happy that I am not the only one who notices this but Mashle OP created a trend here.
I WAS GONNA REQUEST THIS IN COMMENTS BUT ITS ALREADY HERE
The reason it’s so comparable to Bling Bang Born is because Creepy Nuts just adopted a standard Jersey Club beat and added their own personal flourishes to them
when i first heard it, I got the impression it was a call back to mashle. it just to quick nod to "hey, it's creepy nuts". then it switches to a different mood. I've been listening to their last album and their other music is much more varied and diverse
Would have loved to hear your thoughts on the full version. Love this song!
When I'm done with the anime series reactions I will definitely do the full version
This needed to be a full length
there is
@@reyhugo4879 the reaction to the full length I meant
mb
Honestly, Idrc how similar it is to Bling Blang Born, but man, some of the visuals in the opening makes me feel a certain way. I love how they made Jiji goofy. Just like he is in the series 😂
