#with insanely bopping bgm too

[cryptid-condor]

why is shagaru magala literally the coolest animal to ever exist. it's whole christian/angelic aesthetic is very appropriate because I feel some kind of catholic frenzy whenever I look at it

#if u can't tell me and my bro just fought it for the first time in rise #hes so fun and chaotic man #with insanely bopping bgm too #i will not be getting his armor tho managing the frenzy sounds too stressful #back when i was farming for golm armor i joined a quest with someone who i think was testing out the shagru armor #and he fainted 3 times cause he wasnt managing the health loss very well

What're your favorite holo original songs??

oh my GOD this is a tough question 😭

thank you for asking for songs and not ONE song bc that would've been impossible. Actually... this is gonna get a bit long OOPS so I'll throw it under the cut

I love pretty much everything in Suisei's discography, girl constantly putting out win after win. I can't choose one favorite of hers! I'd say out of all her songs I especially love Ghost, Template, Wicked, Stellar Stellar, Tenkyuu, and NCP, as well as 3:12/Sanji Juunihun. All her stuff is just on a whole 'nother level like. Words cannot express how she NEVER MISSES

I'm in a similar boat with Calli's songs, too. Lots of super godly stuff, super crunchy on my ears! My favorites of hers are probably Red, Off With Their Heads, End Of A Life, Ijimekko Bully and Dead on Arrival. Mera Mera is quickly shooting up high on my favorites list, too. Love her lyrics, reaper queen is popping off constantly!

Towa's songs I also love a lot. My top three? Palette's a classic, Born To Be Real is a banger, and My Roar goes off HARD; iirc they got Utsu-P himself to work on My Roar so no WONDER it's awesome. Towa's got an incredible voice especially when she's doing more heavy rock stuff and belting like GIRL. Oh, I also love Madoromi and Over Time - the songs she did with Kanata.

Oh, and I love all of Marine's OG songs. Ahoy and Set Sail make me want to join her pirate crew and go off and do funny hijinks, and Unison is so musically trippy (I almost didn't believe it was in 4/4 time the first couple of listens!) yet addicting! The MVs for Set Sail and Unison too are just so GOOD

Here's a lengthy list of other songs currently in my favorites playlist:

Doggy God's Street: A total jam. Like, the fact they got FAKETYPE to work on it?? Instant banger! It's an earworm in the best way possible and the MV is super cute too

High Tide: It's just. Holy shit wow Moona popped OFF you could put this song in a League of Legends trailer or something and it wouldn't be out of place. And if you haven't seen the MV I am SHAKING YOU. Go watch it she's got me - a lore enjoyer - scrambling for so many crumbs it's insane

Astrogirl: Sana's new OG song is so adorable and I love every damn second of the song itself as well as the MV. They got Snail's House/Ujico* to work on it and it's just so wholesome and cute, really made me love Sana and Council even more ;-;

Wonder-La-Der: Kanat's OG song is so high energy and upbeat and perfectly encapsulates our PPT's energy and it's constantly on loop for me; I love how she got almost all of Holopro to cameo in it

Violet: ohhhhhh it's so pretty and elegant and ina's voice is so gentle and the sound mixing is so pleasing on the ears and the mv is beautiful all of it is just *chefs kiss*

Sparks: Probably my KIRA bias kicking in but DAMN this song is a banger. Kiara's voice really fits songs like this and it's also a really solid workout song too LMAO it's my favorite of hers, it slaps! STREAM SPARKS.

Suspect: You may now recognize it as the default BGM for the Holocure game, I just really really love electro swing songs and this is one is no exception. Total bop!

Kiseki Knot: I will never not get emotional over this. The song itself is so good, I love the inclusion of their names into the lyrics, the emotional context regarding the song made it a million times sadder though; oughh I love Holoforce so much, 499 more years to go, gamers.

Inochi: Honestly EVERYTHING of AZKi's is super underrated, but this is my favorite of hers. It's just such a damn good song I can't word good enough to describe it, it's got me with the feels

Po: popopopo popopopopo popopopopopo popopopo popopopopo popopopo po

Shallys: Holy SHIT. If you have not listened to this, I am begging you go NOW. I'm dropping the link HERE. RIGHT HERE GO GO WATCH IT YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. Aki is so damn underrated and this song is so pretty... the MV is beautiful too (and so is Aki, and her dancing). The coolest part, though? Aki basically made a freaking pseudo-conlang just for this song, based on the language of her original homeland (since in her lore, she's a half-elf from another world and all)! Girl did NOT have to do that for us and yet she did.

There are so many other amazing songs made by super talented individuals that I haven't mentioned here; I really HAVEN'T covered all my favorites yet. I love Hololive for a lot of reasons but their range of musical talents is one of the big reasons. Honestly I just go out of my way to listen to almost every song Holopro put out because they're all so GOOD

LOVEHOLIC Album Review

gimme gimme: first of all the mv? Rude. But probably one of the best line distributions that I've heard in an NCT 127 song in a long time. I really liked the rap flow from Johnny to Mark to Taeyong. Also really happy to have Taeyong back. Missed him. Yuta looked so...villainous in the mv and I am LIVING for it. I really like this song. It was on reply all day when it came out (which was on my birthday so that was awesome). It's a very NCT 127 song. Also, can we talk about Taeil's RIDICULOUS high note? Like sir, the sopranos in my choir WISH they could belt notes like that and MAINTAIN it

Lipstick: Ooo, I like the traditional music in the background. Sounds like it could be a the BGM for a fight scene in a jdrama or in an action movie, like during an action-packed car chase? I also like the switch from a very fast paced song to a slower bridge then right back to the fast paced beat. I really like this song as well. This would be great BGM for a fight scene

First Love: Gives me like...90s vibes? It's very fun to bop your head to. The harmony between Taeil and Jaehyun was really pretty; like Taeil's higher range to Jaehyun's lower range. Also, it seems more like a ballad; I didn't hear too much rapping

Chica Bom Bom: Oo, I'm getting bad boys vibes from this song. I swear, every NCT album has at least one "club" sounding song and that's THIS song. Am I complaining? Fuck no. I think if they ever perform this, the choreography is gonna be INSANE.

Right Now: The opening kind of threw me for a moment, cuz I wasn't sure what to expect and the more I listened to it, I still don't know what to think. It switches back and forth between a strange rap part and a more mellow electric/synth melody, and I think if anyone else but NCT did a song like this, it wouldn't work but somehow NCT makes it work. Don't know how they do this, but they do.

Overall: Probably one of the BEST line distributed albums I've heard from NCT besides RESONANCE PT. 1 & PT. 2. I'm glad SM is recognizing that Johnny can rap and that he's good at it, so they've been giving him more parts, which is amazing. Also, Yuta has so many lines which is amazing as this is his native language. Overall, I love the album, it's fire. I have to say though, I really like "gimme gimme, Lipstick, and Chica Bom Bom". This album is gonna be on repeat for a while.
