Hey about the groups name, it was the name of Ai's group & the name is kinda a play on "B-Ko" (Bε) and "Komachi" (ε°ηΊ). Komachi is almost like a term when you call someone a "beauty" in Japanese. It originated from the poet Ono no Komachi who's known to be very beautiful. Idolm@ster has a group named "Ryuugu Komachi" which they translated to "The Beauty and the Dragon Palace" so I guess that's the easiest way to interpret it in English. B-ko (lit. Girl B) is often a placeholder name that newspapers or journalists use for victims (or culprits, I'm not sure) with names they haven't identified or choose to not reveal. Usually, it goes from A-ko, B-ko, C-ko, and so on which is pretty much Girl A, Girl B, Girl C, etc. Of course, as any first anonymous victims that are mentioned, they'll start with A, and a lot of Japanese media uses "B-ko" (Girl B) as an "analogy" for someone who's only secondary to Girl A, despite they're both are kept anonymous. So literally, you could say that B-Komachi means "Beautiful Girl B" or "Girl B the Beauty" or something. A bit hard to get that in English, but I like the analogy as if this is a group of girls who are technically anonymous or nobodies, but the main appeal is how beautiful they are. apologies if this has been broken down before or if I'm incorrect in some parts. and for the long comment, hope it was insightful! PS. By the way, there was also an idol group from the '90s whose group name is "Strawberry Record", and their vocalist name happens to be Komachi. Wonder if that's a coincidence or reference.

2023-05-12 21:27:35 +0000 UTCTbh when i watched it alone, the moment i saw him i was like - OH HELL NA, then he spoke..... BUT at the end of the day, i think he is perfect representation for the popular youtubers who make kid content these days (annoying AF) - so props to them for that, they nailed it!

2023-05-12 19:24:22 +0000 UTCThe translation for the opening is not perfect at all idk who tf did it. Like every 3rd or 4th sentence could be translated much better to make more sense in english. The full song is translated much better i think, the one you reacted too, thou even that one has some weird translations
