I have to say as a big fan of Calliope's music and a moderate fan of Gura who still liked Reflect enough to listen to it dozens of times, that I am oddly underwhelmed by the cover. It sounded like Gura is phoning it in and I'm concerned she's already getting bored after only a year.

I'm honestly amazed by how many people take the singing quality on a KING cover seriously. This late into the fad going for a more goofy, less serious approach was definitely the right tactic imo.

I thought it was a fun cover, they sounded like they were goofing around. My twitter feed is mostly Nijisanji fans and they all liked it too.

Gura absolutely phoned in Aikotoba, Country Roads and Sorairo Days. If you listen to how Gura talks about the cover compared to those ones (and Mori talking about how into the process of making it Gura got) it's pretty clear that this was a real pet project for her. You can shit on it if you want sure, but it's kind of silly to say that Gura just phoned it in.

I have to say as a big anti of Calliope's music and a moderate hater of Gura who disliked Reflect enough to create several bait threads on /tgl, that I am oddly impressed by the cover. It sounded like Gura is getting more used to recording and I'm bummed that she's getting more confident after only a year.

I usually enjoy every king cover since theres some that add new stuff into it like roboco's chorus during the dead sections but man, i dont really enjoy the random english vocals during it, especially when mori goes from english a little bit and then rewinds the lyrics back to continue the song normally. Making it probably the second worst king cover, just ahead of the SOULFULL noel one.

For people who think this isn't the best version of King

First, you're wrong, but you are entitled to your opinion.
Second, I'm genuinely curious why would you put any other performance over this one?

I honestly couldn't tolerate this song at all before this cover, not just because it's overdone, but because the original was bland and lifeless (expected, it's a vocaloid song) But all of the other covers... are also lifeless. That's not to say no energy goes into them, but there's no punch, no drive, no action or dynamics, they're just dry takes of vocals. That goes completely counter to the upbeat, pounding bass and fast-paced lyrics. This song NEEDS energy, and this is the only cover I've heard so far that brings what it needs.

This cover took a song I couldn't stand, and made it into a song I can't stop listening to on repeat. It injected the fun, the melodrama, and the actual dynamic changes needed to make it a proper earworm, and you can tell people agree based on the view counts already. Now sure, those are inflated a little bit due to being the first week of release, but the cover has almost matched Risu despite Risu's cover being out for half a year. This cover has only been released for 4 days and six hours.

Overall average song repeats could drop to less than 10% of what they currently are for the next year, and the total number of replays would surpass Kuzuha's current number. At less than 20% for a whole year, they could top the current position of Kanaria, who has been out for exactly that much time.

Will that happen? I don't know. I don't imagine 100% of the Deadbeats and Chumbuddies who are currently blasting the jam will be doing so 6 months from now, but if less than a 30th of Gura's Current subs and Less than a 30th of Calli's subs, to say nothing of other Holomem fans or just fans of the song in general keep listening to it daily, it'll more than hit those numbers.

You might say "That's not fair, that's just math and using big sub counts to bully others with, that doesn't mean the cover is objectively better."

Well, sure, that's opinion, I'm not saying that having more subs constantly watching would make it better, but you also have to then ask, if the other covers are so much better, with view counts in the millions and tens of millions, why can't/couldn't they maintain similar growth?

TL;DR
The girls Johnny Cash'd this one. If you still like others more, then fine, you're allowed to like what you like, but you're weird and I don't understand your tastes.

Both did great but the experimentation of mixing mori's style with gura's goofiness didn't really land for me. It's not going to work for everyone but as a King cover it *has* to attempt *something* different or what's even the point, we have 1920525 of those already.
