[FIRST TIME HEARING] :失礼しますがRIP♡ || “Excuse My Rudeness, But Could You Please RIP?” - Calliope Mori 

"Murder is so fucking kawaii" Kawaii means Cute in Japanese

Welcome to the club man! Hololive has some BOMB talent. If you wanna hear something more “conventional” from Mori you should listen to “end of a life”. It’s more relatable while a lot of music on her EP has “Lore” to go with her online persona.

Calliope Mori is a virtual youtuber, and she works for a company called Hololive. Virtual youtubers usually livestream with anime avatars that have their own character/personality. Calliope Mori is a grim reaper/goddess of death. She calls her fans dead beats which is a great play on words. I highly recommend you check out more of her songs. "Red" and "Dead Beats" are two I recommend the most. It is impressive how well she can rap in both English and Japanese. Also, Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute.

Calli is actually American but has now lived in Japan for a good while. So her secondary language is Japanese. And watch out you will soon fall in to the rabbit hole that is hololive and vtubers and there is no turning back. Kawaii means cute. So that line means murder is so fucking cute

Calli is sick. She's the dad we all need! Love her raps! (Her fans call her "dad" lol.) EDIT: If you do another one, you MUST do "Off With Their Heads".

Welcome to the rabbit hole. There is no way out. People already recommender good songs from her. She also made a few cover of japanesse songe, some of wish she rewrote in english. Some I like King., "Q", Roki, End of a life.

Kawaii means cute. Moe is like... it's a concept of innocence or cuteness that is used for fiction female characters, usually in anime. Seiso is actually referring to a humble appearance, or clean/tidy in Japanese but now it's essentially been adopted as slang meaning wholesome. Her character is a reaper of death, so she essentially says she uses cuteness to help 'slay'(both bars and souls). Dead Beats is what she calls her fanbase. Also when she says 'Come a little closer Kusotori, then laugh at me,' and that other character pops up for a second, the other character is part of her lore, and is another member in her Hololive group. Calliope is a reaper, and Kiara(Kusotori, or "Shitbird") is a phoenix who she keeps killing, but you know... phoenix rebirth and all that. Her DemonDice stuff will probably be easier for you to breakdown, since as Calliope she uses a lot of Japanese and references that are difficult to understand if you haven't been a fan for a while/know her character's lore etc. (You might like 'Q' by her and Gura tho. It slaps. The only lore you need to know there is they're kind of the 'unofficial queens' of Hololive, but they were both getting a lot of bullshit from fans.) DD is her, Calli is her character. She uses them both to touch on a lot of similar topics, but her DD stuff is a bit more serious, and you should def check it out. Oh, but if you do, don't mention that they're the same person. Legality and shit. If you ever want a rundown of this stuff to better understand why her shit is so good, DM me. Been waiting for you to want to break these down, lol. Hope you're well, man. Stay safe.

Suggestions for other songs: End of a live Off with their heads Dead beats Cursed night Red

I knew it you would like it :) So little explanation to most stuff First of all, she's Vtuber (virtual youtuber). Most vtubers (or everyone (don't know didnt check)) are originals characters. Yea similar to anime but not from any anime. They usually stream stuff like any other streamer but instead of webcam, they use that original character. Calliope Mori represents grim reaper/death god (Shinigami). Her fanbase called "dead beats". Company she's from "hololive en"

I'm not going to over explain this since everyone else has me covered on that, check out "off with their heads" from Calli I think you'll love that, it's mostly English and easier to parse.

Waaaaaah I've been meaning to ask you to look at Mori for ages! I'm so glad you watched this; definitely watch more Mori - maybe "end of a life" or "bully". But as for context, Mori is otherwise known as the rapping reaper; basically, she's a virtual youtuber with the persona of the grim reaper, her fans are called "deadbeats" so that comes up in songs a lot. She's known for mixing japanese and english into her raps, sometimes they're memes sometimes they're more serious. Also kawaii means cute

Hi! I am a day one Calliope Mori fan. One of my favorite things to do is to watch people who make reaction content discover Mori for the first time. That's what brought me to your channel. I am more than happy to explain to you what is going on. First off, Calli is a Virtual RU-vidr, also known as a VTuber. A VTuber is a real flesh and blood person, who chooses to use motion capture software and wireframe rigging to create a virtual avatar. This avatar is the pink haired anime character you see in her video. This avatar is then used to do things like livestream, or make videos, much like you do. Often times, these Avatars are designed around a certain theme. In Calli's case, that theme is that of a Grm Reaper. This is why you see scythes and skulls, and a lot of death stuff in her videos, because it is on theme. Some VTubers operate independently, much like you do. Others work for large organizations. Calli is one of the latter, as she works for Hololive, which arguably is one of the most popular VTubing companies in the world. Hololive is based out of Japan, which is where the VTubing movement was popularized. Calli lives in Japan, and speaks both English and Japanese fluently. She will oftentimes have both English and Japanese lyrics in her songs, and sometimes she'll even fuse the two together. the word Diejoubou in the Please RIP song is an example of this, as it uses the english word die to make a pun based off of a Japanese Phrase. Daijoubou. Calli has a large Catalog. She has released 2 EPs and a couple stand alone singles. If you want to dive more into her music, I suggest starting with the song "End of a Life." It is all english, and contains some of her best songwriting yet. The beat is also really good, and she sings on the track as well. VTubing is a broad and multifaceted topic, so it's kind of hard to encompass it all in one post. If you have any questions, please just reply to this comment, and I will do my best to answer any you have.

"Calliope" has two valid pronunciations, but you nailed the English one (which is the one less people get, actually, so good job XD). She's an incredible artist who tackles a wide variety of genres so every track'll bring something fresh to the table. Others have already commented with a few suggestions. I agree that "end of a life" is probably one of the least lore-dependent songs and one of her best. "Off With Their Heads" is also one of my favorites and isn't particularly lore dependent, either.

for some context, calliope (calli like california-oh-pea[the vegetable]) is a shinigami apprentice (death god, soul reaper, grim reaper). The fanbase are called deadbeats (im sure you can guess the double). this rap was one she debuted with. she idolizes eminem and has done some streams mastering godzilla, rap god, etc.

Kawaii means cute in Japanese, so the line was murder is so cute. Incidentally, a year after this dropped, a channel named Mori covered a story about a bunch of TikTokers wanting to free a guy convicted of vehicular homicide with the claim that he was "too cute" to be locked up. The internet is a weird place. If you want to dip your feet in the nerdcore waters, my favorite artist is Rustage. They all do a bunch of cyphers, so you can branch off from pretty much any of them. Might I recommend YONKO RAP CYPHER to get your feet wet.

Her song End Of A Life is one of my favorite songs on RU-vid. You might really like the most recent four songs by Demindice, who sounds very, very similar to this, but there's less lore involved.

See a lot of good recommendations here. Personally think you would really like "Off with their heads" though, think that would be a good next song for diving into Caliliope.

I'm so happy when music from our fairly niche vtube community starts getting more plays and attention in the "outside" world. Hope you look into more of her stuff, and more of Hololive nusic in general.

I would recommend End of a Life for the song that I think is most relatable generally. A lot of her music is extremely good but also a little niche to her industry, that industry being v-tubing.

What amazes me is that this song was IN HER DEBUT STREAM! She was at the beginning of the English branch of Hololive and showed from the very BEGINNING that she was quite a bit different from her JP seniors. Now she's become only the third Vtuber in history to pass 2 million subscribers on RU-vid behind the very first Vtuber Kizuna Ai and her genmate Gawr Gura.

Started watching you because of Bo. So happy that you're reacting to Mori now!

in the song she says Seiso and its a word meaning wholesome.

Watch her End of a Life Video it’s literally one of my favorite videos on RU-vid

I haven't checked your channel in a while, but I'm super happy this popped up in my recommended. Oh boy do you have a journey ahead of you if you take the plunge down the rabbit hole. To explain Hololive is a v-tuber agency with dozens of members. Granted most of them only speak Japanese, but there are 11 primarily English speaking members now.

Calliope is the apprentice of the grim reaper turned v-tuber and her fans are called dead beats. A lot of her songs are about dead but she has some lighter songs

Impressively, you pronounced the name correctly first try! You should definitely check out Calli’s song “Deadbeats” next! (Context: “Deadbeats” is the name of her fanbase.)

You have to do Red next! Calliope is so fire

A couple puns I missed for the longest time: "DIE suki" (like DIE) is a pun on "daisuki" (love). Also "DIE jobu" (not really meaning anything) is a pun on "daijobu" (Being okay/good).

For background it's worth looking at Calli's vtuber debut stream, all the way back in September 2020, where she introduces herself, debuts her first original song: "Excuse My Rudeness, But Could You Please RIP?", and announces her debut EP. Since 'RIP' was from back then, that was really all the context it had...

*Welcome brother... yes, we'll show everything you need to know*

she actually has alot of good music

Wow first Knox and now cliff beats nice thank you for the great reaction

Yo gotta check out Rustage and Daddyphatsnaps for some amazing Nerdcore artists.

I've been scrolling and haven't seen anybody explain it in detail to you. so... here you go 1. Mori Calliope is a Vtuber. Vtuber are people who are hired virtual idols to live double personalities and should never reveal anything without the consent of their producer. Like personal information, face, and specific past, it's all a no-no. 2. Mori's double persona is a rapper grim reaper. So there is the part she was talking about it in the lyrics like "Modern-day killers", "Cute as all hell, in a literal sense", "SHINIGAMI SENSEI＋~CALLIOPE~" (master grim reaper calliope) 3. She is a rapper grim reaper, so her fans are all skeletons (aka dead people). But calling themselves like that doesn't have impact enough so they are named "Dead Beats" as in the lyrics Dead Beats, listen up! It’s whatcha want? Me coming in the night for ya! 3. This song is half about trashing haters (as they hate how she likes to go crazy over the limit) and many of them don't like her personality or how she treated her viewers. Many people are accustomed to Vtuber acting cute, humble, and sometimes mad but never going too far (except for Coco, but she is not a Vtuber anymore so Nah). The fact that Mori is sooooooooo different from the other Vtuber creates the "haters" in this video. One of the reasons she was hated is because of their belief. They said that Mori didn't really care about this career, and she was a failed artist so she joined this society only to promote herself and her music. They said that she was selfish and she didn't care about her fan (which is also opposite to other Vtuber). You can listen to the rapping again and you will see Mori dissing her haters Jealous haters out there, high-five! I see you~ "No one’s gonna buy this.” bxtch, I believe you! ... A bitter pretense, but the views are all tell, no show, dollars, and cents ... Not what you expected? Better tell you straight-forward Hear you all the way in hell, slamming on your keyboard Go ahead and BE sore, but I won’t run. ... Gonna take a first-class master V to blast me Humans, come at ME ... 4. Mori is an American but she lives in Japan so she likes to play words in both languages. For example: (1) But the other saying that I like so much more It is along the lines of “you reap what you fuxxin SEISO” instead of writing it as "says so" she writes it as SEISO which has two meanings in Japanese. The first is an act of cleaning away the impure, if she goes with this, it means that she said they tried to put her down but they failed. The second meaning is that these words represent how a woman must have a humble character and a clean personality. So with this meaning, she is saying that the more they hate her, the further she will go away from that. (2) "Gotta know, ain’t it so, could ya let go of your soul for me? Sugoi DIEsuki~" In these lyrics, she told us to give our soul to her and write it like that because "d.i.e" reads the same as "dai" in "daisuki" (which means "really really like it" in Japanese). So she is happy that we are giving it to her.

Mate the next song she release was reaper/rapper, hella good too. Even tho her most recent songs are even more amazing I would recommend to follow the songs by release, this shows how much she has improved.

"I'm gonna butcher this name" he says right before being the first reactor I've ever seen to pronounce Calliope correctly without having to look it up or hear it said multiple times

How did I miss this!?

The lyrics will make more sense once you understand that her character is a Shinigami / Grim Reaper (thats why she brings scythe).

Realize this is a bit off topic, but what happened to therealak reactions? Was he being copyright blocked hard or something, would love to see more of him. Let loose for example, lyrical rap in your lane. Understandable if you chose not to though, just adding my 2 cents.

Check out her other persona “demondice”

YES. FINALLY.

Callipoe Mori is a vtuber. She portrays an apprentise reaper. Essentially the song is her character's story. She made a song for her fans about who she is. Couple japanese word that help to understand the lyrics : Moe = cuteness Seiso = pure of heart Kawaii = cute Shinigami = reaper Sensei = teacher/mentor "dead beats" = her viewers

I wanna know who recommended this 😂 Someone put me onto this artist last year and I weren't overly impressed but at the same time I found the whole thing pretty intriguing so I ended up listening to a few of her songs. This one was actually the only one I sort of liked. Definitely a bit too much on the weird side for me.

Demondice - wanting getting wanting I fairly certain that demondice is her as well

This isn't anime. But if you do want to get started with Anime? I didn't see anyone suggest anime but start with 'Death Note'. I was going to say either Death Note or Attack on Titan but Death Note is much more on topic for Calliope Mori. Death Note is about a notebook where you can write anyone's name and they will die. It's dropped on earth by a god of death or Shinigami. It's picked up by a highschool honor student.

her whole gimmick is being a cute anime girl that embodies the reaper, which obviously is an oxymoron, hence the line "murder is kawaii" anyways if you don't know what vtubers are by now this will take forever to explain lol

react to Uniteam! their gbb showcase just got posted, its one of the greatest

Kawaii means cute and Shigami is a Death God or a Reaper so to say.
