Some things to think about: 1. Al's full name is Ai Hoshino. Her name can either be interpreted as a field of stars (including the stars in her eyes) (Ai = Eye, Hoshino = 星野 = Star field). It can also be interpreted as "desire for love" (Ai = 愛 = Love, Hoshino = Hoshiino = 欲しいの = want). The second one is very accurate to her character considering the fact that she's spent all her life wanting to love and wanting to be loved. 2. The rabbit costume represents lies. It's a mask for Ai to hide her true self, and it's also a play on words. Rabbits are called うさぎ (usagi) in Japanese. Lies are called 嘘 (Uso) and fraud is called 詐欺 (sagi). So, うさぎ = うそ + さぎ = 嘘 + 詐欺 = Lies and fraud. 3. When Ai calls herself as "Maria", she is referring to Virgin Mary. (In Japanese, Mary = マリア = Maria). She does this mainly because 1. Ruby thought she had a virgin birth (lol) 2. she's supposed to be a "pure and untainted" idol. 4. The edgy rant part is from the POV of another girl in B Komachi. The part (and whole song actually) is based off of a short novel the author wrote called "45510" which is in the POV of an anonymous member of the group. The novel talks much more than her jealously of Ai; it talks about how that other member was also a huge fan of Ai and had her own image of Ai she created in her head. She deletes both the video and blog that Ai made/wrote that showed her vulnerability because the Ai she knows is someone who is uninhibited, not dependent on anyone else, doesn't regret anything and is the strongest of all. That's why in the end of the edgy rant part, it says "完璧な君じゃ許さない / 誰より強い君以外は認めない" (I won't allow anything else but the perfect you / I won't acknowledge anyone other than the strongest you). This is her way of saying that Ai can only be the strongest Ai she knows of, which gives more depth to the other B Komachi characters, rather than having them just be shallow, jealous people.
Absolutely agree! She definitely had that IT factor and it's interesting to now see aqua and ruby try to navigate this world in a very different way with differing attitudes to her too.
It's been months but ... That part of the lyrics is based off of the "special" story, i forgot the name but it was her phone password. It's about the member of b komachi and how she deals with ai as their star
That part (and the whole song itself) is based off of a short novel called "45510" (the password @akiko2559 was talking about) which is from the perspective of another B Komachi member. The novel talks much more than her jealously of Ai; it talks about how that other member was also a huge fan of Ai and had her own image of Ai she created in her head. She deletes both the video and blog that Ai made/wrote that showed her vulnerability because the Ai she knows is someone who is uninhibited, not dependent on anyone else, doesn't regret anything and is the strongest of all. That's why in the end of the edgy rant part, it says "完璧な君じゃ許さない / 誰より強い君以外は認めない" (I won't allow anything else but the perfect you / I won't acknowledge anyone other than the strongest you). This is her way of saying that Ai can only be the strongest Ai she knows of, which gives more depth to the other B Komachi characters, rather than having them just be shallow, jealous people.
That bunny suit ai wearing has another meaning. In Japanese,rabbit is read as"usa”,and lie is read as "uso". So wearing bunny suit on stage means wearing lie suit on stage. If you have noticed that Ai's marks on "B komachi" is a rabbit mark, that means lies. And Ai appeared on stage third times without bunny suit in vedio means she dont need wearing lie on stage. I'm Taiwanese, if the English expression is not good please forgive me. 🙏
Youre close, Usagi is the word for bunny and uso means “lie”. Sagi also means “fraud” so the bunny costume and the word usagi are an intentional play on words
There's also a play on words in her name. Ai can be interpreted as "eye". Her last name is Hoshino (星野) which means field of stars, so the star being in her eye and her last name meaning field of stars is a play on words. The less obvious one is her name meaning "desire for love". Her first name is Ai, which can be interpreted as 愛 (love). Hoshino can be interpreted as Hoshiino = 欲しいの = want. So, her name can be interpreted as desire for love. This is pretty accurate to her character considering the fact that she's spent all her life wanting to love.
There is a mini one off side story to the manga where tht "creepy" part of the song is actually referring to the viewpoint of one of the girls in Ai's idol group. The feeling of jealousy tht she gets the "spotlight" and not any of them in the group. Bc she is the "ultimate idol" but the girl also realizes tht no one can b like Ai. Tht they do need her and respect her in a way tht no one can come close to her. She is THE Idol.
More than "respecting" her, it's more like she admits that there isn't anyone else who can take that role, so she won't forgive her if she shows herself as an imperfect being
I think the bunny costume represents Lies, when singing in front of fans, she wears full bunny costume while saying I love you means it is a lie, at the ending scene, she finally dropped the bunny head, and hugged aqua and ruby from behind while saying I love you means it is the truth.
Also, a rabbit is called an うさぎ (usagi) in Japanese. 嘘 (Uso) means lie, and 詐欺 (sagi) means fraud. So うさぎ＝うそ＋さぎ＝Lie + Fraud. It's a great play on words :D
I also watched the music video after watching the first episode of the anime, and I was deeply moved. It's unfortunate that many people, without experiencing the original work or the anime, solely watch the music video based on its high view count, and as a result, they are unable to understand the content and miss out on the emotional impact, ending up with little to no reaction to the video. Please also inform those people that they are missing out on a wonderful experience of being deeply moved. The great thing about the English versions of all of YOASOBI's music videos is that they match the Japanese sounds, but also match the meaning. In most cases, it matches the sound of the end of the word. For some reason, in some places the English sounds like Japanese. After listening to the Japanese version several times, please listen to the English version. Please listen and compare and find out. MV time count 0:55 english「That emotion melts」→ japan「daremoga mewo」 MV time count 1:35 「Completely deny」→「kanpeki janai」 MV time count 1:41 「That emotion seized」→「daremoga shinji」 MV time count 1:55 「Dammit Dammit」→「dame dame」
@@dawnseeker176was about to say the same thing, lol. I do agree with what they're doing though. I feel that every reactor to the show and/MV should know this and the comment itself is quite well written. I did get a sense of deja vu when I read it though coz the words were too familiar 😂. Not sure about other reaction channels but this is the 2nd time I'm seeing this comment. I forgot where I saw it the 1st time though.
I did really like a singer. Yes, indeed my idol. But after hearing this such song, I feel so depress and have such feeling that I can't recall. So breathtaking, so magical, so heart stopping...
Maria is an interesting term. Depending on the kanji, it could mean different things. Including Girl/woman reaching godliness or highest excellence; being authentic in love; or even girl giving love. There is also the pure holiness version that is in reference to the Virgin Mary, as well. Take your pick!
@@asheeon That is my point. By using katakana, there is ambiguity in the meaning. YOASOBI are transcribing a foreign sound into Japanese which can be interpreted in many ways. By not using kanji with rubi on top and crystallizing the meaning, it was left ambiguous intentionally. One of the unique aspects of Chinese and Japanese language is that even if you may not be able to pronounce the word written, one can understand its meaning based on the radicals of the kanji. In other words, there is little room for ambiguity aside from idioms. In most alphabetic languages, pronunciation is simplified by having each letter make a (mostly) unique sound. Sometimes words with the same spelling mean different things (homonyms) and sometimes the same sound has different meanings (homophones).
The darker part of the song is from the view from other member from the original B-Komachi. There's a short novel written by the Manga author name "45510" related to this song.
It's refreshing to see a reaction of this masterpiece from someone who fully understands the background of the story. Nice reaction! Just a few point, the genius who translated this was Konnie Aoki, who made it possible to fit a japanese tune with english lyrics and make it sound so alike Also, Ayase-san stated in the teaser before OnK was launched, that he's a huge fan of Akasaka-sensei's work, he received the short novel 45510 and put all his effort into making this song a work that would make Akasaka-sensei proud So this is basically, from a fan, for fans, thank you Ayase-san
I wouldn't say that Ai's actually intelligent, maybe smart, but more like she learned to be smarter as she joined the idol life. Ai didn't know emotions like other children did, her mom left her when she was a kid and because of that she didn't have the chance to understand love and other feelings, so she basically started to adapt herself and fake it basically every single second of her life. Her whole life was built around this skill that she got, where she could know exactly what people expected from her (which is something Aqua's knows how to do as well), faking emotions to fit in, kind of. Pretty cool still! Wish I could've seen your reactions to the other episodes, especially episodes 6 and 7, as a manga reader I can say they just made it even better in the anime!!
Just a note, YOASOBI is pronounced like yo-ah-so-bee :’) Also, it is the same singer in both versions, YOASOBI (duo consisiting of song writer Ayase and singer ikura) and the person doing the translyrics are insanely talented and always manage to make the Japanese and English versions of their songs sound incredibly alike, I recommend checking out some comparisons people have made. But otherwise really good video, loved hearing your thoughts!!
I think the dark part is the pov of specificallyi Ai fellow team mates because Ai outshines them all to where when ai died they couldn't even continue being a popular idol group after her death because she's the main jewel that shines on top of them
The maria part is something else, in japan maria means truth and blessing, meaning that Ai wants to be truthful but she can't and how Ai was blessed for her talent and skill
Thank you very much for your wonderful reaction! I want you to know the Japanese image of Maria. The name Maria conjures up images of "tolerance" and "unconditional love" for the Japanese. And it is a symbol of the Mother. This is not a religious thing. It is more of a cultural thing, and Maria has been cited as a symbol in many dramas, movies, and novels that depict "tolerance" and " love". In a shocking scene in this cartoon, Ai said. "I still want to love you". This is nothing but "tolerance" and "love" for the Japanese. On the other hand, there is also the image of worship = Maria in Japanese otaku culture. Please continue to enjoy Japanese anime and J-POP.
in case you wanted to know the first "dark part" is from the view of the people who are idols with her the side idols if you will the ones who get onstage with her
also the bunny costume is her "guise" of her performance self and at the end its her explaining how she wants to be her true self up there and truly love everyone hence is the reason she is not wearing the bunny suit
Yeah, i really like how Ikura sounded amazing in both versions! Glad you're able to watch at least the first episode and upload it, what a ride. I do have some anime openings and some endings as well that i think it would be cool if you checked: Mephisto - Queen Bee (The ending for "Oshi no Ko") Tombi - Kvi Baba (Opening for "TRIGUN Stampede") Cry Baby - Hige Dandism (Opening for "Tokyo Revengers") Kaibutsu - YOASOBI (Opening for "Beastars") Shukufuku - YOASOBI (First opening for "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury") Seimeisen - ReoNa (Opening for "Tsukihime") Nainai - ReoNa (Opening for "Shadow House") Shall we Dance? - ReoNa (Opening for second season of "Shadow House") Fakeit - Sawano Hiroyuki (idk if this will be a OP or a ED, but it was the music for the trailer of "Fate Strange Fake") Yeah, i better stop here, these are waaaay too much, sorry. 😅
Спасибо за реакцию! Слова в конце песни при понимании контекста и правда пробивают на слезу. Вы в конце (если верить субтитрам Ютуба) попросили совета открывающих и закрывающих тем, так вот : Закрывающая тема этого же аниме с лирикой - прекрасна. Я бы посоветовал вам глянуть визуал с аниме версии песни(эндинга), он так же имеет смысл! Oshi no Ko - Ending Full『Mephisto』by QUEEN BEE
For interesting OP/EDs: - Chainsaw Man is a goldmine with a top shelf OP song/animation and 12 different EDs that are all fantastic albeit spoilery in some later ones - Raven of the Inner Palace has an OP from Queen Bee, who did Oshi no Ko's ED - Kaguya-sama has very strong OPs - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is pretty much legendary for the songs and variants in its OPs, and the use of Western rock/pop music in its EDs
Aqua is also like Ai. Aqua's acting is always perfect even though he always says he is a terrible actor and try to compare himself with Ai, when he acts he is exactly like his mom. Ruby signifies Ai's pure side and Aqua signifies Ai's dark side. Ai lives on through her children: Aqua and Ruby.

The first part of the song is the fans viewpoint. The second part of the song is B komachi’s viewpoint and possibly other idol groups. The third part of the song is the viewpoint of Ai herself
When she said aishteru I know what it meant because I watch to many romcom anime’s and it means I love you so when the English version came out I watched people react to it and it was funny seeing their reaction to the last line of the song because a lot of people didn’t understand it
The difference of Japanese vs English for the kids is curious. Aqua as in the sweat she saw while working, and red as the blood under her eyelids, like when she closes her eyes… it’s pretty Oof when you think that’s all she could think of when she tried to name her kids. Again could definitely be deeper.
Jojo gonna change you, legit is a life changer of a show, its bizarre nature and style will put you under the influence of Araki's stand ability, it just gets a grip on you.
Allow me to be honest here I am going to be honest I think Oshi no KO the first episode of any anime on the first episode is the first one that ever made me almost cry I'm not even kidding this is the first episode at the end I almost literally teary-eyed no other anime up to this point has done that that proves how cool the story is and stuff and I hope it gets better during down the line and there's a possibility that AI might have been reincarnated as well
Let's see shows you might like Fruits Basket (pretty short and very emotional), Bleach is a long one but if you haven't watched it before it's incredible, Claymore is amazing but older and niche, and my final recommendations are Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.
I watched the OG fruit baskets back in the day but not the remake so that's a good shout! Bleach I have seen most of but the newer stuff I do have to watch! Claymore YES 🤣 love Claymore haha but the last two are firmly on the to watch list 😁 thanks for the recommendations!
Here's the real thing though I had a feeling that that stalker that came to her door to killer was actually the father of the two kids you know Ruby and aqua actually now we know that it's The Reincarnation of the dude who is The Doctor Who died and the girl who died earlier on I still don't remember the name so forgive me on that
Either way it's for me when I do the song in the Japanese I bought my head to it when I hearing in English I wonder really this song makes me feel like I'm going to probably cry get this when it's in Japanese I'll buy my head and feel great to it so I don't know a thing about Japanese I can't I can't actually understand it show me it just sounds like a cool song but the English version I understand that so it makes me go oh that's what I've been hearing this whole time and I've been Poppin my head to this
Spoiler For Episode 1 Maria is refference to Virgin Mary she is maria in many languages in slovak its Mária á is a bit longer a so it is really not that diferent word but point is Mary has son jesus that too isnt son of her husband and is pretty much son of god so its same as aqua and ruby if religius peaple read this stop religion is lie to that is why she said I am maria and lie is best form of love bacause we are lied to so we have perpose in life
If you are a Christian or have a minimal knowledge of the Bible, you will know who Maria is.Maybe you have to be Spanish or Portuguese to understand it.Well, although I am Japanese and not a Christian.
It definitely depends a lot on where you are. In most English-speaking countries, she is called Mary, so many of them may not get the meaning of the line unless they know that she is also called Maria in other languages.
You know if you think about it this anime really yours the song anyway really mirrors what celebrities face in real life the answer everything what I mean by that well what's your favorite book what do you like to eat what do you have this do you have that with your personal like who are you marrying are you pregnant you see I'm saying they want to know absolutely everything about you as a celebrity
Song sounds so happy but the lyrics are pretty dark. Criticisms of the idol business, pointing out idols straight lie constantly and how the other girls in most groups are just window dressing to push whomever the label has deemed the star and management controls their lives.
Ai? INTELLIGENT? Did you watch the show? XD She's an amazing liar, but I wouldn't say that she's "intelligent". She couldn't even remember which of her kids were which. XD
You think this is sad??? Go back to one piece and watch enies lobby arc. They made grown men cry over a ship dying. Then go to thriller bark and learn brook's backstory.
The song is basically the whole episode 1. The last part with 3 of them always got me every single time.
Made me tear UP I thought I was gonna cry again! Such an emotional moment but so impactful ah 😭 thanks for watching :)
The first part before the rap is about the short novel about Ai
??? Where did my comment go? 😢
@@georgieegames I don't know why but what also kills me at the end is how tiny Ai is compared to even Ruby.
fr
Some things to think about:
1. Al's full name is Ai Hoshino. Her name can either be interpreted as a field of stars (including the stars in her eyes) (Ai = Eye, Hoshino = 星野 = Star field). It can also be interpreted as "desire for love" (Ai = 愛 = Love, Hoshino = Hoshiino = 欲しいの = want). The second one is very accurate to her character considering the fact that she's spent all her life wanting to love and wanting to be loved.
2. The rabbit costume represents lies. It's a mask for Ai to hide her true self, and it's also a play on words. Rabbits are called うさぎ (usagi) in Japanese. Lies are called 嘘 (Uso) and fraud is called 詐欺 (sagi). So, うさぎ = うそ + さぎ = 嘘 + 詐欺 = Lies and fraud.
3. When Ai calls herself as "Maria", she is referring to Virgin Mary. (In Japanese, Mary = マリア = Maria). She does this mainly because 1. Ruby thought she had a virgin birth (lol) 2. she's supposed to be a "pure and untainted" idol.
4. The edgy rant part is from the POV of another girl in B Komachi. The part (and whole song actually) is based off of a short novel the author wrote called "45510" which is in the POV of an anonymous member of the group.
The novel talks much more than her jealously of Ai; it talks about how that other member was also a huge fan of Ai and had her own image of Ai she created in her head.
She deletes both the video and blog that Ai made/wrote that showed her vulnerability because the Ai she knows is someone who is uninhibited, not dependent on anyone else, doesn't regret anything and is the strongest of all.
That's why in the end of the edgy rant part, it says "完璧な君じゃ許さない / 誰より強い君以外は認めない" (I won't allow anything else but the perfect you / I won't acknowledge anyone other than the strongest you). This is her way of saying that Ai can only be the strongest Ai she knows of, which gives more depth to the other B Komachi characters, rather than having them just be shallow, jealous people.
@@lyrablack9169 damn didn’t knew that, thanks for clarifying
I still love how the male choir represents her fans, and makes her a holy image like she is a saint.
"Oh my savior, my true savior, my saving grace"
Ai was in another league like they say in the OP, she's like the incarnation of the brightest star itself
Absolutely agree! She definitely had that IT factor and it's interesting to now see aqua and ruby try to navigate this world in a very different way with differing attitudes to her too.
The rap lyrics in the middle of the song describe the feelings of the other b-komachi members towards ai, that's what I think
You are right. That part was written in the pov of an unnamed former B-Komachi member
@@derweeblord 😳🤯😲
@@derweeblord I mean it fits they literally don't even tell you their names even in the anime

That bunny suit ai wearing has another meaning.
In Japanese,rabbit is read as"usa”,and lie is read as "uso".
So wearing bunny suit on stage means wearing lie suit on stage.
If you have noticed that Ai's marks on "B komachi" is a rabbit mark, that means lies.
And Ai appeared on stage third times without bunny suit in vedio means she dont need wearing lie on stage.
I'm Taiwanese, if the English expression is not good please forgive me. 🙏
That's perfect English man, thanks for the rabbit explanation 🫠👍
Youre close, Usagi is the word for bunny and uso means “lie”. Sagi also means “fraud” so the bunny costume and the word usagi are an intentional play on words
There's also a play on words in her name. Ai can be interpreted as "eye". Her last name is Hoshino (星野) which means field of stars, so the star being in her eye and her last name meaning field of stars is a play on words.

More than "respecting" her, it's more like she admits that there isn't anyone else who can take that role, so she won't forgive her if she shows herself as an imperfect being
I think the bunny costume represents Lies, when singing in front of fans, she wears full bunny costume while saying I love you means it is a lie, at the ending scene, she finally dropped the bunny head, and hugged aqua and ruby from behind while saying I love you means it is the truth.
No, you're totally right, that was a sick reference to the whole story
Also, a rabbit is called an うさぎ (usagi) in Japanese. 嘘 (Uso) means lie, and 詐欺 (sagi) means fraud. So うさぎ＝うそ＋さぎ＝Lie + Fraud. It's a great play on words :D

Esta canción me encanta por como separa la primera parte a los fans, luego a la industria opinando sobre ella y al final es sobre la propia Ai ❤
in case you wanted to know the first "dark part" is from the view of the people who are idols with her the side idols if you will the ones who get onstage with her
also the bunny costume is her "guise" of her performance self and at the end its her explaining how she wants to be her true self up there and truly love everyone hence is the reason she is not wearing the bunny suit
i was so sad when you said that you hadn't continued reacting to the show on your channel but im glad you're enjoying it
The Key term is "parasocial".
Entire negative side of the song is centered around the audience being parasocial towards Ai on a toxic lvl
Yeah, i really like how Ikura sounded amazing in both versions! Glad you're able to watch at least the first episode and upload it, what a ride.
I do have some anime openings and some endings as well that i think it would be cool if you checked:
Mephisto - Queen Bee (The ending for "Oshi no Ko")
Tombi - Kvi Baba (Opening for "TRIGUN Stampede")
Cry Baby - Hige Dandism (Opening for "Tokyo Revengers")
Kaibutsu - YOASOBI (Opening for "Beastars")
Shukufuku - YOASOBI (First opening for "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury")
Seimeisen - ReoNa (Opening for "Tsukihime")
Nainai - ReoNa (Opening for "Shadow House")
Shall we Dance? - ReoNa (Opening for second season of "Shadow House")
Fakeit - Sawano Hiroyuki (idk if this will be a OP or a ED, but it was the music for the trailer of "Fate Strange Fake")
Yeah, i better stop here, these are waaaay too much, sorry. 😅
Спасибо за реакцию! Слова в конце песни при понимании контекста и правда пробивают на слезу. Вы в конце (если верить субтитрам Ютуба) попросили совета открывающих и закрывающих тем, так вот : Закрывающая тема этого же аниме с лирикой - прекрасна. Я бы посоветовал вам глянуть визуал с аниме версии песни(эндинга), он так же имеет смысл!
Oshi no Ko - Ending Full『Mephisto』by QUEEN BEE
For interesting OP/EDs:
- Chainsaw Man is a goldmine with a top shelf OP song/animation and 12 different EDs that are all fantastic albeit spoilery in some later ones
- Raven of the Inner Palace has an OP from Queen Bee, who did Oshi no Ko's ED
- Kaguya-sama has very strong OPs
- Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is pretty much legendary for the songs and variants in its OPs, and the use of Western rock/pop music in its EDs
Aqua is also like Ai. Aqua's acting is always perfect even though he always says he is a terrible actor and try to compare himself with Ai, when he acts he is exactly like his mom. Ruby signifies Ai's pure side and Aqua signifies Ai's dark side. Ai lives on through her children: Aqua and Ruby.
Maria read in Japanese backwards is also Arima. Not sure if it means anything though.
Wait.. you might be into something.
To the Guys who don't understand the meaning of the lyrics
Just watch episode 1 and listen to this song again!
Japanese dance group Avantgardey returns with a mind-blowing performance to "Idol" by Yoasobi! UA-cam: Avantgardey's UNBELIEVABLE dance is unlike anything you've ever seen! | Qualifiers | AGT 2023
Every time I see the last part of that song I get goosebumps
Dark side part is other members from B Komachi's point of view.
The first part of the song is the fans viewpoint. The second part of the song is B komachi’s viewpoint and possibly other idol groups. The third part of the song is the viewpoint of Ai herself
Did you reacted to the new arknights side story in Laterano?
Not yet, Arknights stream is tomorrow so am continuing story then 😀
If you want a really great and totally slept on OP that’s got a ridiculous amount of symbolism I’d recommend Magical Destroyers.
When she said aishteru I know what it meant because I watch to many romcom anime’s and it means I love you so when the English version came out I watched people react to it and it was funny seeing their reaction to the last line of the song because a lot of people didn’t understand it
"I do know so ..." ... we know too and it breaks us !
The difference of Japanese vs English for the kids is curious. Aqua as in the sweat she saw while working, and red as the blood under her eyelids, like when she closes her eyes… it’s pretty Oof when you think that’s all she could think of when she tried to name her kids.
Again could definitely be deeper.
Or Ruby as in the blush she might be using or eyeliner.
the song is just ep 1 and the hidden novel story combined
Are you not gonna continue posting reactions to the show?
Jojo gonna change you, legit is a life changer of a show, its bizarre nature and style will put you under the influence of Araki's stand ability, it just gets a grip on you.
Allow me to be honest here I am going to be honest I think Oshi no KO the first episode of any anime on the first episode is the first one that ever made me almost cry I'm not even kidding this is the first episode at the end I almost literally teary-eyed no other anime up to this point has done that that proves how cool the story is and stuff and I hope it gets better during down the line and there's a possibility that AI might have been reincarnated as well
Let's see shows you might like Fruits Basket (pretty short and very emotional), Bleach is a long one but if you haven't watched it before it's incredible, Claymore is amazing but older and niche, and my final recommendations are Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.
I watched the OG fruit baskets back in the day but not the remake so that's a good shout! Bleach I have seen most of but the newer stuff I do have to watch! Claymore YES 🤣 love Claymore haha but the last two are firmly on the to watch list 😁 thanks for the recommendations!
Here's the real thing though I had a feeling that that stalker that came to her door to killer was actually the father of the two kids you know Ruby and aqua actually now we know that it's The Reincarnation of the dude who is The Doctor Who died and the girl who died earlier on I still don't remember the name so forgive me on that
Either way it's for me when I do the song in the Japanese I bought my head to it when I hearing in English I wonder really this song makes me feel like I'm going to probably cry get this when it's in Japanese I'll buy my head and feel great to it so I don't know a thing about Japanese I can't I can't actually understand it show me it just sounds like a cool song but the English version I understand that so it makes me go oh that's what I've been hearing this whole time and I've been Poppin my head to this
at the end🥺
Spoiler For Episode 1
Maria is refference to Virgin Mary she is maria in many languages in slovak its Mária á is a bit longer a so it is really not that diferent word but point is Mary has son jesus that too isnt son of her husband and is pretty much son of god so its same as aqua and ruby if religius peaple read this stop
religion is lie to that is why she said I am maria and lie is best form of love bacause we are lied to so we have perpose in life
If you are a Christian or have a minimal knowledge of the Bible, you will know who Maria is.Maybe you have to be Spanish or Portuguese to understand it.Well, although I am Japanese and not a Christian.
It definitely depends a lot on where you are. In most English-speaking countries, she is called Mary, so many of them may not get the meaning of the line unless they know that she is also called Maria in other languages.
I have a Recomneded songs The anime Full moon wo sagashitenthe song I recommended is eternal snow
Yohsohba?
You know if you think about it this anime really yours the song anyway really mirrors what celebrities face in real life the answer everything what I mean by that well what's your favorite book what do you like to eat what do you have this do you have that with your personal like who are you marrying are you pregnant you see I'm saying they want to know absolutely everything about you as a celebrity
Make sure to say "yoasobi (night play)" instead of "yoasoba (nighttime soba noodle)"
Song sounds so happy but the lyrics are pretty dark. Criticisms of the idol business, pointing out idols straight lie constantly and how the other girls in most groups are just window dressing to push whomever the label has deemed the star and management controls their lives.
Ai? INTELLIGENT? Did you watch the show? XD
She's an amazing liar, but I wouldn't say that she's "intelligent". She couldn't even remember which of her kids were which. XD
There’s literally nothing sad about the song.
don’t pause while watching the MV pls
Japanese one is better
You think this is sad??? Go back to one piece and watch enies lobby arc. They made grown men cry over a ship dying. Then go to thriller bark and learn brook's backstory.
