      yo my man,
      bocchi the rock has traction as an anime.
      it came put during the hype fever of CSM/ChainSawMan release season and still almost outclassed it in terms of memes amd held its ground. it is popular.
      The team behind Bocchi the Rock is basically the same core team behind the production of "Frieren" even though they are technically made by different studios... only reason Bocchi has not gotten 2md season yet cuz frieren got too popular and the team is busy making its season2 , thats actually it. thats literally it.
      Bocchi is incredibly popular both in Japan and international audience
      also hope you are in better health now. let us all be healthy and stay hyped for Apothecary Diaries

    Some fun details to point out: Their second song, "To Be a Constellation", requires only one solo to be played. However, when Bocchi was having equipment trouble, Kita stepped in and ad-libbed over the section that was supposed to be Bocchi's solo. For the drummer and bassist, that means they would need to repeat their section once Kita is done and Bocchi recovers. We can see this at around 5:24 where Ryo turns to face Nijika and nods/signals to her, pretty much saying "Hey, we have to repeat that part one more time."
    Also, the lyrics to the song "To Be a Constellation" perfectly illustrate the mentor-friend relationship between Kita and Bocchi and how they both admire each other for possessing abilities/skills they respectively lack: Kita admires the hard-work, dedication and skills to the guitar that Bocchi has and Bocchi wishes to be more outgoing and positive like Kita. They are each other's constellation.

      She won't. Doesn't really make sense why she would be singing at any point also. She's the lead guitarist. Bocchi doesn't know how to sing also. And in general most bands only have one singer at a time. Only other "singer" is Ryo who does back up. And seems like in the manga that Bocchi hasn't sang or even ever considered it.

      @ReklawLah Bocchi the character doesn't know how to sing. Bocchi's voice actress can sing. They have established roles in the band. It just doesn't make sense for bocchi to sing. Think of how many rock bands have multiple singers at the same time. Hardly any. Kita has shown to practice singing a lot, and Ryo is very musically talented. Bocchi and Nijika only play their one instrument and are only interested in that instrument. Pretty far in the manga, and again, bocchi has shown no interest in singing.

    once again, this show just fully understands what it's like being a young musician down to the nitty gritty details:
    1. having a string break mid song is not necessarily the end of the world. most notes are doubled on the lower strings, you just need to play them higher up the neck. the problem is that when a string breaks, all the other strings go out of tune due to the change in tension. that's why Bocchi thinks that as long as she gets the B string (the one below the high E) in tune, she can adjust her playing. and obviously, having to actively rethink your playing on the spot instead of relying on muscle memory is not an easy task either.
    2. a fretted guitar is somewhat of a fixed intonation instrument. that means if the string is out of tune, every single note on the fretboard along that string will also be out of tune. using a "bottleneck" (normally a short metal tube) eliminates this issue because the bottleneck functions as a "moving fret" in a way. you kinda slide into the notes and adjust the exact position by ear, which gives it this whobbly, scratchy sound. it does in theory fix Bocchi's tuning issues, but it's a ballsy move. not only does she completely have to improvise the entire solo on the spot - you can't just play a normal solo with a bottleneck - but you absolutely have to know what you are doing to pull it off. thus the comment "who whips out the bottleneck at a time like this?"
    3. Kita's improv is exactly the kinda thing a beginner guitarist would play. nothing fancy, just a few chords and octaves, but played with absolute confidence, and that's what sells it.

    To quote something I read elsewhere that I loved:
    'There's a horrific catch 22 with severe social anxiety, where being hypersensitive to anything that might cause social embarrassment means that a) you are absolutely fucking terrified of being cringe, and b) you can't actually tell if you're being cringe. Your cringe alarms are always blaring at maximum volume anyway so you have to override them to do any social interaction at all, and then while they're overridden you go and do something so absolutely mortifying that the memory will torment you for decades.
    Bocchi the Rock is the only time I have ever seen this accurately depicted in any form of media.'

    Loved it! As a guitarplayer who was often playing in local bars with my band, I often used that old trick to pick up a consumers' glass or beer bottle to play slide on my guitar. So seeing Bocchi saving the day by doing it out of necessity slightly wet this old guy's eyes. This has been written by a guitar player for sure!

  • @HaibaneRakka571
    @HaibaneRakka571 2 дні тому +6

    Bocchi's Slide trick is actually really cool due to the way it works. Guitars are "technically" never in tune at every point on the fretboard, the frets are spaced apart in an approximate ratio to the length and tension of the strings, pressing down on a string shortens the amount being vibrated and changes the pitch of the note. The variance between a "true" pitch and the pitch of the frets is so small that it's almost never a problem, but trying to do a solo with a broken string and another string that's out of tune would be ridiculously hard to adapt under pressure. Using the bottle as a slide allows her to functionally play the guitar like a fretless fingerboard (similar to violins), changing the pitch to match the notes based on her ear training.
    And here's the BEST part: The reason Bocchi was able to do that under pressure is because she has clocked THOUSANDS of hours of training, she's definitely practiced that technique and the presence of mind to rely on her skill and training to control the pitch is proof of how much of a professional guitarist she really is. She EARNED that moment through years of hard work

    So glad you got to enjoy this peak show.
    As many pointed out, season 2 has been announced but considering it is CloverWorks and season 1 is still INCREDIBLY popular (I was in Japan this December and all the main stores still are overflowing with gadgets and memorabilia plus they just released the OAV of the first season and another EP...they won't prioritise a season 2 while they can still milk season 1 this much )
    As for the face father...I don't think you'll ever see his face lmao.
    Bocchi was originally published on a magazine mainly targeted to girls, with all-girls casts. All the recurring men cast members are always shown either without facial features or with their face hidden.
    That's how great this director is ad adapting material from paper to screen

    Fun fact about "To Be A Constellation" is that it was written to be playable with a broken string after Bocchi's slider solo. One of the music arrangers for the show, Ritsuo Mitsui, actually uploaded a video showing him playing the whole thing after cutting one of the strings.

  • @fraker12

    It might not have been as big as it deserved but this anime had a huge impact for people that wanted to learn music, introverted or not. This show literally drove sales of guitars to the point that (a few) music stores were solding out in Japan. Also afaik there are two Bocchi guitar collaborations, one of which is the guitar she bought at the end of the episode which previously wasn't a real model (the colorway) in the real world until Yamaha made the limited-edition Pacificas in celebration of the show. (They may have planned it from the start, but still cool.) The other's the Epiphone copy of the Gibson Les Paul Custom (the guitar that his dad lent to her) with Bocchi's signature of it.
    Also, fun fact: Most, if not all, of the instruments and equipment on the show-- amplifiers, guitars, pedals and all -- despite them not rendered with much detail are true-to-life and has already been catalogued by hobbyist on the internet, and I think there's an official one out, for the fans to check out. The details are just amazing on this show.

    The ending song is a cover of "Rockn Roll, Morning Light Falls on You" by Asian Kung Fu Generation, who are well-known for performing one of the Naruto openings. This series heavily references the band; each episode title plays on a song title, and each Kessoku Band member's last name is taken from a member of Asian Kung Fu Generation, matching the instruments their namesakes play. I highly recommend checking out some of the live performances Kessoku Band has done. They are all fantastic, especially the two songs they performed on The First Take. Asian Kung Fu Generation also performed "Rockn Roll, Morning Light Falls on You" on The First Take recently, too.

    I'll admit to being a softy when it comes to emotional movies, shows, anime, whatever - what I did not expect to gut-punch me with happy tears was the moment Bocchi improvised a slide with one of Kikuri's dirty glasses. Arguably the first rock and roll song "Rocket 88" came to be because the Delta Cats had to stuff newspaper in their busted speaker. There's nothing more rock than making due with broken equipment.

    K On! is a similar series from 2009 about High School girls forming a music club, but largely involved a lot more cute wholesome antics instead of music. But it was very influential in getting students, girls especially, interested in music. I recommend it if you liked this one. There is also "Ya Boy Kongming" which is about a historical chinese tactician (think Sun Tzu) waking up in modern Japan and becoming a music manager. Its not the same as Bocchi of course, but it has a similar vibe of starting out in the music business in a silly way.

So even though the extra wait sucks, what we got in return is worth it! Finger's crossed he can pull a 3-peat with Bocchi s2! (somehow, Bocchi is the first show he's ever been the showrunner for. He's a regular Steven Spielberg of anime!)

    The manga is still going, and they probably have enough material for two more seasons.
    I think the popularity of the show took the producers by surprise, so they didn't have any plans for any kind of continuation, but Kessoku Band's album was one of the top selling albums on 2023, the live shows of the band (the voice talent along with a band of session musicians) sell out every concert, and apparently the two compilation movies were successful, so there should be more Bocchi on the way.
    Scheduling is a problem though since Bocchi's director is also Frieren's director, and Frieren sold even better than Bocchi, so odds are that Frieren season 2 will come along sooner than Bocchi season 2.
