i think we can all agree that SHOCK!’s music video is 100% related to buddy daddies.
please pay attention to the lyrics that i note during each section 👀
it’s lengthy but i think it would be worth reading. the music video offers a lot of similarities to buddy daddies and more that hasn’t been yet been similar to any part of the show we can see, which opens up many possible theories.
—reblogs appreciated (o><o)
it begins with a lone reaper (rei) meeting an angel (kazuki) by chance from a crane game.
(lyr: “hey, i want to love you, is this true? > i showed you my heart.”)
there is an entire montage dedicated to just showing them interacting, with the reaper in blue and the angel in pink. at the end of it, they hold hands, but now the reaper is also pink.
(lyr: “hey i want to love you, is this true? > im being tossed around again”)
next shot — they chillin, holding hands or whateva, and then badoom a gigantic ufo (the organization) looms over them, and starts to chase them around. hand-in-hand, the two are running away.
(lyr: “i locked it up so it wouldn’t hurt > it won’t change, and i know, but…”)
the ufo knocks down and captures the angel in its huge hands, and the reaper’s eyes water as it reaches out to save the angel, but the angel then disappears. in very brief shots, the reaper sheds a tear and then sprouts wings.
(lyr: “i know that i don’t want to lose anything anymore > gives me a good laugh”)
in a series of beautiful✨ shots, the reaper is trying to escape the ufo with determination and it’s newfound wings.
(lyr: “let’s love and be loved > let me see if this is love”)
there is a shot of the angel, pink, and the reaper, blue again and far away. there is another shot of the reaper letting a tear fall.
(lyr: “from now on, swing me around as you please”)
the reaper, although with wings, is falling through the sky with great speed. its eyes tear up. in the next shot, it reaches out towards the camera as it falls back into the grasp of the ufo.
(lyr: “swing me around as you please, forever”)
the lights on the sign on the crane machine powers off. a small reaper and angel plush are won by and picked up by a girl wearing pink (miri) from a crane machine (the same one).
(no lyr)
———
so many things in this video make so much sense after i really gave it some thought. here is what we know for sure as of episode 8:
rei was a lone killing machine before meeting kazuki (wandering reaper).
kazuki was trapped by his guilt until he taught rei to live, which in turn helped himself (angel trapped in crane machine).
kazuki and rei met by chance (crane machine).
he changed rei for the better, even if he doesn’t realize it (turning the same color as kazuki).
they are dependent and reliant on each other, for work and personal reasons. they lent each other a helping hand (holding hands).
but we saw that when something personal interferes with the professional commitment people have to the organization, the organization will make sure it doesn’t stay that way (huge ufo with big eyes and hands chasing the two).
as for the rest of the music video? shit gets sad…
the angel is torn away from the reaper and trapped in the ufo’s grasp. it then disappears to become a plushie again.
the reaper sprouts wings and does all it can to escape the ufo, but it meets the same fate as the angel. being separated from the angel makes the reaper blue again.
the two, in a helpless and immobile plushie state, are picked up, by chance, and by a little girl this time. however, this might put the girl in danger of meeting the ufo as well.
———
i think i don’t need to explain my theories for that part. it can speak for itself…
but it’s got me seriously worried about the direction of this show. since we know that the beginning can be well-explained by rei and kazuki’s first encounter and a little past that, there is a chance that the rest of it reflects the rest of the series as well.
or who knows, maybe the music video is only extremely resemblant of the show it ops for by coincidence!! 😭 maybe buddy daddies has a happy wholesome ending…!!!
thanks for readin (o^^)9

Best of 2023 Music #21: YOASOBI “IDOL”
If there is anything else that can be mentioned about Oshi No Ko, it’s that rocking opening song that sets the tone.
AI’s legacy passed down to her twins Aqua and Ruby as they enter the world that she knew is imparted on through the metaphorical visuals and inadvertent plot hints.
What YOASOBI does here with both this and its original Japanese counterpart is somewhat awe inspiring.
Idol culture never seemed more deconstructed than the opening sequence set here.
SUM 22: The duo of YOASOBI sets the tone for teenage Aqua and Ruby as they enter the world that their mom lived for.
