>>31513717King was obviously going to pass Reflect because it's an established thing. Weirdo motherfuckers want to see and hear every vtuber's rendition of the song and video and King was both Calli's and Gura's. Q has much more of an earworm quality to it. I like the meaning behind Reflect, but it's not a song that sticks with you. There's no real chorus, no real hook, it just lacks replayability like a lot of Hololive orisongs do.
I think Q, Violet, and Astrogirl are the 3 best EN orisongs so far and it's no coincidence that they were composed and written by well known figures in the industry (nor is it coincidence that the worst part of Q was Calli's lyrics which she of course elected to write herself). The lesson here, unsurprisingly, is that if you want a good song hire good people and then let them do the job they were hired to do. I don't know if Reflect was the result of not hiring good people or not staying out of their way, but it just didn't stick.
