I am going to be doing Kafka pulls on Wednesday at 8PM EST over on Twitch!!! LET'S SEE HOW MANY COPIES WE CAN GET OF OUR MOTHER!! www.twitch.tv/minaaoyama
@@StreamerOfTheCentury The beginning Part is actually "Winter" from "The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, if I am remembering correctly Edit: My bad that is just a different name for the same piece lol
Blade's trailer was the best they had done. And now this one is the best they've done. Also the song is Vivaldi's "Winter", out of the Four Seasons concerto
1:52. I doubt anyone remembers this but during the shot of kafka using threads there was a character from an anime called Needless who's name was also Kafka and he had the power to use strings like a weapon his power was called Kandata Strings.
At this point, HoYoVerse is going to be the leading vanguard in the music industry by revolutionizing classical music, and bringing them to another level. Kafka's trailer soundtrack is one of the most perfect and noticable examples for that. Not to mention the perfect usages of colors, spiders, rose petals, and other elements in this one adds to the mysterious atmosphere around Kafka, and that deadly beautiful aura that she emits.
yeaa the reinterpretation of classical songs from hoyo-mix is suchh a jam - fusing EDM & classical, 2 things I love + the mixing (from audio engineering standpoint) is just... wow! I'd argue the mixing it's miles better than Genshin OSTs p.s.: I got a new set of Bose latest QC Ultra headphones - the bass reproduction is insaneee during the drop, I legit was immersed into the trailer 😂
I don't usually talk to myself, but when the kabedon happened, I literally, vocally, went "me next?" >.< miHoYo trailers are too powerful. I have no idea how they consistently manage to put out such good trailers every couple of weeks for 3 separate games o_o
Glad i got into HSR over the last couple of weeks because I pretty much got into it because of Kafka *cough Mommy. But yeah i cannot wait to start pulling for her, been saving quite a bit for it as well.
@@_dxksh did you use anything on other banners or use jades on standard banner because 2 weeks with main and side quests is plenty of time to get 14,4k stellar jade also 10 free tickets from login
@@Deathclaw6364 Nah, i haven't used anything at all, but I'm stuck on boulder Town, can't find the mine cart parts to progress. Also, for some reason, after i re-downloaded HSR (my phone crashed after some time for some reason every time before when i tried to play it) so now, I don't even have access to the daily login warps😭😭😭
@@_dxksh well I don't know what is with the crashing issue but the minecart part of the story will have a quest marker and even if you can't find the cart follow the rails it drives on and besides Kafkas banner stays 30 days even if you restart from scratch now you'd realistically get her before it leaves
I mean, Blade's character quest told us that Kafka was a master assassin who joined the Stellaron Hunters because Elio told her that following him would eventually make her actually experience fear, which until now is something she's never felt and desires to feel.
Why was this so much better than my hyper inflated expectations? Not in a million years did I think I'd be even more sold on a character I picked up the game for. (months in advance of her release btw).
Something i noticed. When Kafka is on a mission she is wearing make up and lenses, but on that clip on her lying down (0:40 of the trailer), She wears no make up and with no eye lenses
It's the first time for me in a Hoyoverse character demo/trailer where a character's voice gives a very significant impact in the watching experience in the most pleasing way. God bless her EN VA.
I literally subbed to you just to see this reaction video LOL I dont think ive been this hyped for a character in a gacha in a long time like I started playing HSR for Kafka
Dude, the fuckin Vivaldi sold this trailer for me. I knew I loved Kafka ever since I picked up the game for the first time, but by God, making her a classical music enjoyer is one of the best design choices I've ever seen.
This is the 20th time I've seen this, and I still get chills hearing "Wasn't it you... Who INVITED me?" And then the beat drop. Uughh. Hits me as hard as "Elio didn't put it in the script...so it doesn't MATTER!!"
The classical music featured in the trailer is from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. I believe it starts with Winter and then transitions to Summer around 1:30.
Ah, Vivaldi's Winter, the best violin piece. If anything made musical middle school and high school tolerable, it was great classics like these... The remix was very satisfying.
There are many things I like in the trailer, and one of them is the use of Macguffin, Non-linear structure, and Oneiric structure(the 3 words that flash in the trailer).
@@SabeehaFarheen Macguffin - an object or device in a movie or a book that serves merely as a trigger for the plot. This would most probably be Kafka breaking/exiting the Belobog Museum(I doubled checked, unless they just reusing assets) Non-linear structure - storytelling technique in which a narrative is told out of chronological order. If you pay attention, Kafka direction of escaping isn't linear, the start of it has her already at the museum ground floor walking towards the exit and the elevator going down midway into the video. Oneiric structure - cinematic story using dream-like visuals, exploring the structure of dreams, memories, and human consciousness. All those cool visual effect whenever she takes control of the guards as well as the Roschach ink test similar to a spider.
@@giandarc8297 Dang I never noticed that in the trailer. I'm so happy they are implementing both classical music and film terms in her trailer adds so much more to her personality. Thank you for explaining.
i think they were dropping hints of us going back to belobog potentially? the projector they use looks like the same one from the museum (i could easily be wrong and just over thinking) also ARF ARF ARF WOOF BARK GRRRRRR WOOF AWOOOOOOOOO BARK BARK
For anyone curious, the song is Vivaldi - Four seasons, obviously hoyo remix it and made it fantastic. Curious note, same song was used on one of John Wick movies if I'm not mistaken Edit: wanted to add, they took a lot of inspiration in 40's Mafias movies, Godfather, John Wick and Black Widow to make this trailer and blended it with psychological themes so well, probably Hoyo's best trailer so far!
I swear Chad Stahelski directed this trailer I mean from the action choreography to the use of Vivaldi's four seasons, she literally became John wick in this trailer
Goodluck to everyone who is pulling for Kafka don't lost your 50 60 to anyone bro song it makes me feel powerful 😅 bro i will whale for her if i don't get her i don't care how much money i spent i want her i will do anything for her
Hi mina!!!! The piece is four seasons by vivaldi, and despite what some people may think, it is a baroque era piece, not a classical era piece. I believe its specifically Winter.
I love how they show her without makeup a little, clearly hinting that we don't know much about Kafka and her real self. I hope her companion quest will tell us more about her
Ahhhh i knew youd make a reaction for the trialer as i just watch it a few minutes ago and i saw this ahhhhh kafka hope yall get kafka to come home. That end though normal anime would put their hands against the wall but kafka went ahead and place her whole foot on the wall ahh the hype XD
Hoyoverse knew exactly what they were doing when they made kafka, we all knew exactly that they knew exactly what they were doing, and they knew exactly that we all knew exactly that they knew exactly what they were doing
Antonio Vivaldi- Winter with other parts of his "the four seasons" classical piece dispersed within aswell. I really hope Hoyoverse releases this rendition of it tho since it is sick.
also at least e2 for kafka. i have been saving since i started this darn game! i mean i roll for banners here and there but never hard (hardest ive rolled for was 50 for yukong and 30 for sushang light cone) im ready for this banner. currently at 252, i aiming for 260 before she actually goes live
I started playing just for her 2 weeks ago, but don't have enough even for a 50/50😭😭 Hope she comes with what i have🤞🤞 Also, how do you get the mine cart parts in Boulder town?
@@_dxksh its been a while so i may be misinterpreting this but is that the part where you have the findie device? if so just keep using it until you find the parts. it points you to the right direction
I think you nailed with the KDA reference - the vibe is very similar to their song "villain". And yes, I also love that song. Her JP voice is even better tho, imho I pulled and got her. Mostly because she is freaking Kafka and also a role I havent had yet for my team comps.
On my third rewatch and I just noticed how the floor indicators on the elevator is basically referencing how many guards were left on the corridor as Kafka was going John Wick on them one by one LMAO

E6 or bust!
Well I am not rich enough to pull E6 but I definely get her a least once. And her lightcone of course.
Banner comes in 8 pm, I’m so ready.
@@VylaStarZero Well I'm not... I got less than a half of materials needed...
It is surely violence heavy
*Sampo is a criminal* --> Mina : "He is a red flag"
*Kafka is a criminal* --> Mina : "I don't see the problem, she is perfection"
i see no problem
I see your point but she's really hot.
She is being blamed she is not a criminal HOW AN ONE PERSON CAN DO This.
She is a Woman thats all
If evil, why hot?
My cultured comrades, the hour is nigh. Let us all stop being Kafka-wanters, and finally become Kafka-havers!!!
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen!
Ever since Kafka's reveal when the game came out, I said to myself "Oh yeah, I'm definitely getting her"
I'm going broke for her 100%
Same here but I don’t have outside cash 😭 I can only hope I win the 50/50
@@ShadoxasI know that feeling, I hope you win your 50/50!
I'm like: yeah she's the one
ah here it goes, my entire life saving
Kafka: *slaughtering a bunch of soldiers*
Mina: "God I wish that was me"
...same.
Remix caught me off guard in a good way and the animation was insane 🤯
What is the name of ost?
@@mitanshp5818 Vivaldi- Winter, the remix idk
@@mitanshp5818 the original piece is Vivaldi no. 4 in F minor I believe
@@StreamerOfTheCentury bro is the music connoisseur
@@StreamerOfTheCentury The beginning Part is actually "Winter" from "The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, if I am remembering correctly
Edit: My bad that is just a different name for the same piece lol
I'm just imagining Mina frothing at the mouth over this LMAO
Oh we were all frothing
we literally fell to kafka's domination since start of the game
Agreed
The original ost is Vivaldi no. 4 in F minor 👍
Yes the Vivaldi sample was so fire
AKA 4 Seasons - Winter. That was such a good mix though.
Vivaldi was wilding bro, 4 in a fkin minor
When i heard the vivaldi in this trailer
GUNS, LOTS OF GUNS
Man Hoyomix never disappointed
Blade's trailer was the best they had done. And now this one is the best they've done.
Also the song is Vivaldi's "Winter", out of the Four Seasons concerto
I do remember them during the tutorial as well playing canon in D, good taste in classical music from Hoyoverse, not to mention I don’t actually Kafka
3:55 Kafka really went "Imma kabedon you, with my FEET."
I wish you all good luck on pulling for Kafka, the mommy we have been waiting for
Good Luck to you too comrade!
I got her in 2 10 pulls
The way kafka started trending again as soon as her trailer dropped. Not even surprised cause it’s Kafka 🧎♀️
Also IT SHOULD’VE BEEN ME NOT HIM!!!!
Same
1:52. I doubt anyone remembers this but during the shot of kafka using threads there was a character from an anime called Needless who's name was also Kafka and he had the power to use strings like a weapon his power was called Kandata Strings.
Its been years glad people still remember this anime

miHoYo trailers are too powerful. I have no idea how they consistently manage to put out such good trailers every couple of weeks for 3 separate games o_o
kabedon using feet at that the impact must be more powerfull
I got chills literally, it's so beautiful😭😭
Glad i got into HSR over the last couple of weeks because I pretty much got into it because of Kafka *cough Mommy. But yeah i cannot wait to start pulling for her, been saving quite a bit for it as well.
Started playing a bit more than a month ago I logged in every single day so I could check ingame and I've saved 180 pulls for her
I started just for her 2 weeks ago, and don't have enough for even the 50/50😭😭. I just wish she comes with what i have.

She went full John Wick. Even her music sounds like it came straight out from the movies.
I mean, Blade's character quest told us that Kafka was a master assassin who joined the Stellaron Hunters because Elio told her that following him would eventually make her actually experience fear, which until now is something she's never felt and desires to feel.
Kafka is pretty much what you get when you give Yelan, Yae Miko’s personality
Now I understand why I love them so much
"Red Flags? Nooo~ Those are fun facts about me"
- Kafka probably
God this trailer was so good. The music, the action, the visual effects, Kafka! Just one more day
The Classical Music: From Vivaldi's 4 Season Summer.
Vanessa-Mea made a cover of Summer. It is called Storm.
Kafka: *appears on screen
Mina: climaxes
Getting her at least to E2 with Light Cone. I haven't prepared her gear nor her mats nor her team! Let's gooooo!
I have enough to get her e0 guaranteed but will try to get her LC and if I get it I will try for e1
did u get her
"UGH...IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME NOT HIM... IT'S NOT FAIR!!"
That soldier at the end tho😂
Literally everyone's mind after watching the trailer:
MOMMY?! SORRY MOMMY? STEP ON ME MOMMY!!!
She will make you question your sexuality if you are a girl and question your lack of mommy issue if you are a guy
I already knew how Mina was going too react and my exceptions weren’t low
Goodluck too everyone that will be pulling for Kafka.
this was THE best trailer from star rail so far. Kafka is everyhing. Thank you for your reaction)
using Vivaldi four seasons winter movement as her base theme music is Hoyoverse best move, chef kiss
In the service of M kafka.
Kafka: heads or tails.
Me: Feet. Step on me 😂
Why was this so much better than my hyper inflated expectations? Not in a million years did I think I'd be even more sold on a character I picked up the game for. (months in advance of her release btw).
Also, did you notice that when Kafka dominated the guards and started shooting each other, rose petals came out of them instead of blood?
Pretty sure that's just artistic liberty. Doubt her strings actually cause petals to come out of people.
Jhin vibes fr fr
Good ol "nah they're petals not blood trust me"
Smiles, everyone. Smiles!
Honestly, the rose petals would look helluva lot better and more marketable than actual gore. We all get the idea so why not make it beautiful?
Something i noticed. When Kafka is on a mission she is wearing make up and lenses, but on that clip on her lying down (0:40 of the trailer), She wears no make up and with no eye lenses
Kafka be like: "Step aside John Wick. My turn."
very perfect edited, kafka's personality and vivaldi's music its just perfection.
Kafka went full John Wick on that building.😂
Imagine within the first minute of her banner release the servers break
Apparently they did with jing yuan so possibly
It's the first time for me in a Hoyoverse character demo/trailer where a character's voice gives a very significant impact in the watching experience in the most pleasing way. God bless her EN VA.

This is the 20th time I've seen this, and I still get chills hearing "Wasn't it you... Who INVITED me?" And then the beat drop. Uughh. Hits me as hard as
"Elio didn't put it in the script...so it doesn't MATTER!!"
the piece is winter, written by vivaldi
i keep on replaying this because HER ULT IS LIGIT ON BEAT-
sanest Kafka Enjoyer
kanon was the violin piece on the HSR intro
Hype train for Kafka, baby!! Let's GOOO!!!!!
The piece they used for this trailer is The Four Seasons (Winter) by Vivaldi.
"I have waited Aeons" pun intended lmao
The classical music featured in the trailer is from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. I believe it starts with Winter and then transitions to Summer around 1:30.
2:27 11 000 000 000 credits for Kafka :))
Ah, Vivaldi's Winter, the best violin piece.
If anything made musical middle school and high school tolerable, it was great classics like these...
The remix was very satisfying.
now watching this during another kafka rerun, the trailer (and yes ur reaction as well) never gets old 😂

Kafka is such a red flag, too bad red is my favourite colour.
Yes she is a red flag and I am colour blind
When I saw this trailer I came to your channel because I knew you'd put your entire expletive into this. Ahhhh
The trailer actually had me holding my breath by the end. Holy.
A dramatic irony it is
The classical inspiration for the trailer's music is Vivaldi's Four Seasons: Winter!
That violin made me scream, without the s.... In a metaphorical sense..... Totally didn't falter or anything
Those violin chords are my heart strings being strummed!!!
as a Blade and Kafka simp, I can't wait for mo- I mean Kafkas banner
and yes I got Bladie
Can I sign a petition to act as the ipc member at the end? I'll pay them, they don't need to pay me, I'll do it for free.
Hi mina!!!! The piece is four seasons by vivaldi, and despite what some people may think, it is a baroque era piece, not a classical era piece. I believe its specifically Winter.
This is the one and only trailer who gave me goosebumps so much i passed out
THE TIME HAS COME
i'm saving since day 1 (BP & Rail Pass) and 49 Pity with 376 Pulls rdy. I will go all in on her!
kafka theme is vivaldi - four season - winter, in case anyone want to know
I love how they show her without makeup a little, clearly hinting that we don't know much about Kafka and her real self. I hope her companion quest will tell us more about her
VIVALDI The four seasons Winter and Summer! This is great. 1:12 Winter and 3:42 Summer. Love It.
Nah the Stella Hunters animation and trailer are so crazy I definitely going to try to pull her
When i heard pachelbels canon.. at the start.. I immediately knew i needed this character. The song itself has been my favourite song all my life.
Ahhhh i knew youd make a reaction for the trialer as i just watch it a few minutes ago and i saw this ahhhhh kafka hope yall get kafka to come home. That end though normal anime would put their hands against the wall but kafka went ahead and place her whole foot on the wall ahh the hype XD
I pradge for your having of Kafka, Mina. May no one who's going for her suffer a 50/50 loss, let alone a constant streak of them
LET'S GOOO ITS TIMEEEEE
I told myself over and over again I was saving everything I had for Jingliu (and I’ve saved up quite a bit)… but damn it they got me.
Hoyoverse knew exactly what they were doing when they made kafka, we all knew exactly that they knew exactly what they were doing, and they knew exactly that we all knew exactly that they knew exactly what they were doing
3:33 I don't know if anyone has but none of the people ive seen react to this have pointed out/mentioned the spider
3:57 - I suspect there has been a sudden increase in amount of people who want to be a faceless goon from this one scene alone.
First part of Kafka's music is Vivaldi - Winter. Near the end is Vivaldi - Summer specifically the 3rd part
The song is (at least the classical parts) Vivaldi, four seasons: winter if anyone cares to look it up, have fun listening
It was Makima then but now it has to be Kafka who is Top Anime character that people are down bad horrendous.
Antonio Vivaldi- Winter with other parts of his "the four seasons" classical piece dispersed within aswell. I really hope Hoyoverse releases this rendition of it tho since it is sick.
The original classical piece is "The Four Seasons: Winter" by: Vivaldi. Not thinking about going broke for Kafka though lol
The song is Vivaldi Winter, and good luck to all pulling for Kafka!
also at least e2 for kafka. i have been saving since i started this darn game! i mean i roll for banners here and there but never hard (hardest ive rolled for was 50 for yukong and 30 for sushang light cone) im ready for this banner. currently at 252, i aiming for 260 before she actually goes live

And yes, I also love that song.
Her JP voice is even better tho, imho
I pulled and got her. Mostly because she is freaking Kafka and also a role I havent had yet for my team comps.
Mind blown, everything was fire in this trailer but that countdown and her asking yes or no. Well Kafka the answer is most definitely YES!!
The music used was Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", Concerto No. 4, "Winter":
