SPAMMING IN CAPS FOR ANIME/MANGA/GAMES LOL

Calli may not be the best singer or the fastest rapper, but honestly I think her strongest strength in her songs are her poetic lyrics writing

MOTIFS

One of her catchphrases for when she ends a stream was

"I'm your Mori, hope you'll remember me" which is a reference to Memento Mori = Remember that you must die

The two strongest themes in Calli songs are "Death" and "Time"

Excuse my rudeness, but please RIP

I think this song is self explanatory xD

Live Again

It's not the end of your 森 [Mori] 'Cause every closed door is just the intro of a brand new story!

But maybe it's deliverance? From the pain I know is coming on when my old soul's finally gone

'Cause we're immortalised forever in the songs that we write, ya know

Red

Tonight the moon is rose in a crimson red But roses gotta wither so I'll live forever instead

[Chorus]

Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition As petals fly, I'll dance your tune But hold your breath, guess who's running the show? And when this red runs black I'll ask you Was I everything you imagined? When my time's finally up, the sun's falling down I'll turn to stone again

end of a life

[I can't quote the entire song so you're better off just listening to the song!]

UnAlive

[Chorus 2]

Numbing tears and heartache, sorrow, hate Running endlessly through time again Still deprived UnAlive Like I've always been

My home A place I'll never know until I'm satisfied To move forward, the lore is I must Be void inside

[Chorus 3]

Your home Is more than just a place you're never satisfied I'll move forward toward something rewarding By your orders, I'll never be soaring I'm ignoring the lore 'Cause I won't be void inside

もう戻れない In Death, I'm somehow more alive

Internal Rhymes

So I know this is not unique and probably most raps have this....but I only really started to appreciate them after watching Hamilton musical. Calli's songs have a lot of internal rhymes that honestly gives me eargasms LOLOL

End of a Life

BANGER LINES

Off With Their Heads - HAS SO MANY BANGER LINES

Just some of my fav lines from the song [just listen to the song!!]

Welcome to the mountaintop Those your fans you're counting? Stop

'Cause bet this blood be melted iron, but I still be like water You'll get some muddied up perspective if you senselessly slaughter

Those with devotion to the mission straight devour the weak An ocean full of competition, get your actions to speak You can't be strong if you give up from just a miss in ya streak

You gonna throw in the towel and quit As soon as your body starts bleeding? You'll say goodbye to glory Next "hello" to never succeeding

You want a balanced following? Then start creating, stop tweeting

All like "Easy for your to say, Little Miss Company Hire" As if these moves did not take heartache and these tracks are not fire As if this back did not break over and over I near expired As if a million skeletons hit that "Subscribe" for satire

I ask you, take up the sword and swing until it is unbearable And wear your scars with dignity when raising something shareable The strong, the safe, the terrible-progress in these eyes Expect no less than Earth shaking when these Dead Beats rise

Absolute god-tier smackdowns but also giving a lot of supportive words xD

One of my fave is "The strong, the safe, the terrible-progress in these eyes" - Create content, Calli says. Make ANYTHING, even if it's terrible, it is still progress.

guh - [aka Give Up, Haters]

I'm sensing a 戦争 [senso = war] and can't express how

Who's the one who smacks herself for fun without a lick of hesitance "Damn, My Content's Only Decent" Club and I'm the President

There's a lot of thoughts I can't say outright I've got my chords, you've got your keyboard, both us got all night Try again, I'm wishin' you well! But you will never roast me better than I roast myself

Hang 'em high Cuz you won't take my life, cuz l ain't got none So sorry, I'm hardly, just getting started But why? Have you misplaced your life? I'll help you find it Just follow, my shadow, Guess what? I'm on your side.

Have you misplaced your life -> Cuz haters have no life xD

OK honestly PLEASE ALSO LISTEN TO THE LOFI VERSION OF THE 4 SONGS FROM YOUR MORI - THEY ARE AMAZING [I CAN'T LINK CUZ I CAN'T POST MORE THAN 10 VIDEOS -CRY-]

FUNNY MEME RAP

Calvin [C-Man] aka Guy version of Calliope that she streamed with on April Fools Day 2022 was absolutely hilarious xD Calli even released a mixtape as C-Man and everyone lost it.

Sometimes she gets forced to freestyle [which she says she's not good at] but this one is a punishment game with Kobo

---

IDK why you're still reading but THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME SHILLING ABOUT MY FAVOURITE VTUBER RAPPER CALLIOPE MORI

Also sidenote there used to be a ship called TakaMori [Kiara and Calli] but that sank cuz it got too overwhelming. But it was fun during that time xD It's where Calli being a Tsundereaper came from

BUT IT'S OK CALLI IS OUR DAD AND KIARA IS OUR MUM....SO IT KINDA STILL WORKS RIGHT????

Until she says we're adopted and goes to buy milk and never comes back :'D

---

tldr: CALLI IS THE BEST DAD AND I'M SO HAPPY FOR HER THAT SHE FINALLY GOT TO DO A LIVE CONCERT AND BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS SHE IS NOW AND AS A DEAD BEAT I CAN ONLY HOPE SHE'LL KEEP RISING FROM HERE

Please watch her concert, she honestly practiced so hard and absolutely NAILED IT

Alright I'm done with my sales-pitch LOL

SCHYPH

Another thing you learn from Calli's songs is that "CRINGE IS HER BRAND" [from Huge W - UnAlive album], and a lot of self depreciating jokes xD

She's very self aware and tend to make a joke out of it xD

Though what you'll learn is that she actually has a MULTI-LEVEL GAP MOE, really....it looks like this

Pretend Idol Cutesy voice -> Hardcore Edgy Reaper [also Tsundereaper + sheriff] -> Actually Humble Adorkable Entertainer -> Wholesome and the most supporting DAD

CLIPS INCOMING:

Calli's History

Her dad is a pianist and mum is a singer - so Calli never felt like she was good enough at singing. She was praised for her poetry writing as a child, and decided to go down the rapping path instead

Studied art (actually does animated music videos as a freelancer I believe!), didn’t study music (did theatre in HS) but still was invested in rap, especially Japanese rap

Had to work multiple jobs to earn enough to travel to Japan back and forth when she was younger. She worked as a waitress - talked about her worst job experience

Came to America trying to get into the Japanese underground rap scene

Calli Workaholism

When she debuted, she aimed to release 1 song/cover a month. Since Sept 2020, she has released over 40+ songs, including 1 Album and 4 EPs

She was working 3 jobs when she first joined Hololive, and basically barely sleeping at all (She calls her other job Scythe swinging class). She's one the hardest working ambitious talent, esp on releasing music.

She works to the point where her manager has to bargain with her to get her to stream less

Some of her advice that shows her work ethic:

"If you quit when you suck, you'll suck forever."

"Please, make content, DO IT!"

"I see a lot of young aspiring vtubers, I'm really excited for them and I want them to succeed. I want to see them do their best."

She released a song "Off With Their Heads" as a tough love support for those who are trying and smackdown to the VTweeters who hate on her but don't make content xD

Even when she first started out, she held a REMIX Competition for RIP to engage with the community

^ My fav from the remix competition

Honestly Dead Beats are so talented and gotta thank Calli and KokoroBeats going through them all to show them off!

OK PART 3 FOR THE MUSIC

Calliope’s Debut - Sept 2020

OK let me start by giving some context from back in 2020 before EN vtubers were big. Noone knew whether they would be popular or not, esp when there’s a big community who “hate dubs”. There were a lot of opinions flying around thinking that Hololive EN may not work cuz it’s too “cringey” to try and act cutesy like the Hololive JP girls. Basically I went in with ZERO expectations when they debuted.

Clip of her debut:

As you could see from above clip, you could see she was ultra nervous and really trying to act cute. I think a lot of people were like “ehhh okay english trying to act cutesy IDK it’s a bit off….oh this cutesy pink reaper wants to rap….?” …. and then “FUCK IT” AND DROPPED THE BEAT! It really blew us all away because none of us expected it at all!

Below are some evidence that it’s not just me and I’m not making shit up xD [Comments on reddit about her most recent concert]

“Excuse My Rudeness, But Could You Please RIP?"

What’s truly genius is that Calli really played an entire skit of her pretending to be super moe/cute + Seiso idol for 40+ minutes just to pull the rug underneath us to slay us with her TRUE GAP MOE POWER. You can tell she knows her target audience and capitalizes on the weeb culture by mixing English with Japanese + weeb memes xD

Lyrics from RIP:

*'Keikaku means plan' reference xD

SUGOI DIE-SUKI ↑↑↑ Don’t mind, DIE-JOUBU ↓↓↓

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GAP? FUCK IT, SEISO!!

GOD DO I LOVE BILINGUAL PUNS

Also love her calling out all the haters IN HER FIRST SONG

Moving on to Part 2 because I can't post anymore screenshots :'D
