The song Raden covered is called Shinigami (死神). It is a really cool rakugo-based song, so it fits her naturally. Both Mori and Vesper covered it as well if you are interested to see other takes on it.
Chimera is typically pronounced ky-meer-a. Kiara is using something closer to the Japanese pronunciation, キメラ, but with an added リ sound thrown in I guess just to make it more melodic. She is pronouncing the キ throughout, but i guess it does kind of blend in in such a way it could be mistaken has an h sound.
Little background info on Kiara's MVs: in the Chimera video the background dancers are just like copy-pasted versions of herself, just with different textures. However, for the Mirage video she actually got some real background dancers. That's also why you can see her actually interacting with them sometimes as part of the choreography. She also commissioned that outfit by herself, it's not an official Hololive outfit, but it's highly possible we'll be seeing it again in the future. Oh, and don't forget to press 4
Tierwha, Press 4 in chimera and mirage You‘ll see this pose every time xD The „Press 4“ meme originated here, even though it was pure coincidence and wasn’t planned. Later she added it intentionally in Mirage. Little off trivia: one of Marine‘s song also have a „Press 4“ feature ^^
The quality goes up and up, it's insane how good any of the songs are recently. Highly recommend Kanade and Ririka's cover of 絶絶絶絶対聖域 / Zezezezettai Seiiki and Matsuri's cover of プロポーズ / Propose.
I can't think of a better reaction to Mirage When I hear this song I get goosebumps too. Kiara has created some incredible masterpiece, she sounds amazing 🧡
I like this song collection, I heard them a lot. Apparently according to YT Music Raden's cover is my most heard/favorite song of the year 😅 It's very well done by her what can i say
Thanks for the reaction today, it was a nice pick me up to wake up to. I've known how good Reine is, but Raden really surprised me when I heard this song. I like Calli's cover of the same song, but something about Raden's spoke to me. Then of course I had to put in Kiara's newer songs. Like others said, you should press 4 on these 2 songs lol
Kiara shows off her vocal range in her backing vocals and it has driven both Chimera and Mirage. Her EP shows this off as well. She sounds generically poppy, but those backing vocals make the songs sound so interesting to me.
Kiara isn't just my Tenchou, she's my Queen. I know she gets a lot of recognition for her talent but I still don't think it's enough! Loved your reaction as always Tier!
14:40 Kiara mixes the English pronunciation of "chimera" with the German one a bit. In English the "ch" is basically a hard "k", but the German (softer) "ch" is probably best described as a hissing sound. It's not formed in the throat like an "h", but you position your tongue as if you're pronouncing a "y" (as in "you/yes" - middle of the tongue constricting the air flow towards the roof of your mouth), and then give it an un-voiced breath like you'd use for an "f". (There's also harsher, guttoral German "ch", which is produced with the back of your tongue against the back of your throat, and pressing air through it so it vibrates. And if you give it a voiced breath instead [the difference between the "th" in "thing" vs. "this"] you get the German "r" instead.)
11:30 Tier woo face was brilliant.
I felt related

Yeah, and now it's spread to Biboo who has a "Press 9" in her HoloGra.

11:03 she pronounces it "key mer ah" (although in English is often pronounced "kai mer ah")

you need to hear kiara-mirage only vocals version (its on kiara channel)...IMO it makes that song even better...10/10
It at least brightened our day with the news before
Mirage is probably my favorite Kiara song yet
Kiara isn't just my Tenchou, she's my Queen. I know she gets a lot of recognition for her talent but I still don't think it's enough!
Loved your reaction as always Tier!
Bro got astounded by my WIFE. Raden has been practicing a lot with a singing teacher and she has come a LONG way. Happy for her.
The Neuron Activation face at the Press 4 moment of Chimera 😂, all I will say is, same girl, same
You heard Sip some Tea in the 5th Fes
Kiara with mirage really gets me back to telenovela era
Next time you listen to Chimera you should press 4 for respect
