YMMV / YOASOBI

• Adaptation Displacement: Go into the YouTube comments section for "Yoru ni Kakeru". You will see many comments reminding people that the song is based on an obscure story called The Seduction of Thanatos, an extremely short work posted on a Japanese short story site. In fact, the entire point of YOASOBI is to create songs based on stories submitted to the site, almost all of which become vastly more popular than the originals.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: YOASOBI is very popular in Indonesia, they finally get to come to 88rising's Head in the Clouds Festival 2022, which was held there!
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Yoru ni Kakeru"'s chorus became a MASSIVE meme for YouTube and TikTok for its Lyrical Dissonance and becoming a standard of parodying anime intros.
  • "Gunjou" became popular at the tail end of 2021 for Rickroll-esque Bait-and-Switch memes, often cutting the screaming of a video into the song's chorus.
• Woolseyism: Some of the popular songs that got their English-language version are subject to this. Instead of going for literal translation, the English lyrics are rewritten based on pronunciation of the original Japanese text while still keeping up with its theme.
