곡 소개
홀로라이브 EN 1기 'Myth'의 일원으로 데뷔한 모리 칼리오페(Mori Calliope)는 사신(死神)이자 래퍼라는 이중 정체성을 내건 버추얼 아티스트입니다. 팬덤 이름이 곧 이 곡 제목인 'Dead Beats'인데, 죽은 자(dead)와 비트(beats)를 겹쳐 사신과 래퍼라는 두 얼굴을 한 단어에 담은 말장난입니다. 곡은 그 정체성을 그대로 선언하는 자기소개에 가깝습니다.
가사 속 화자는 '귀여운 사신이 당신을 모십니다(可愛い死神 at your service)'라며 영혼을 거두러 온 저승사자를 자처합니다. '점선에 사인만 하면 돼, 아마 괜찮겠지? 천만에, 네 영혼은 내 거야'처럼 계약으로 영혼을 가져가는 사신의 농담이 랩 위에 얹히고, 다섯 자짜리 큰 낫(scythe)과 붉은 와인 같은 이미지가 살벌함과 능청을 동시에 굴립니다. 한편으로는 '난 돈은 필요 없어, 그냥 네 목숨이 갖고 싶을 뿐'이라는 협박조와, '랩은 쉽지만 음악은 어렵다', '나는 아마추어니까'라며 스스로를 깎아내리는 자조가 번갈아 나오며, 살벌한 컨셉과 솔직한 자기 의심을 오가는 균형이 곡의 묘미입니다.
DEAD BEATS는 2020년 발매된 동명의 데뷔 EP에 수록된 곡으로, 이 EP는 오리콘 디지털 앨범 차트에 진입한 것으로 알려져 있습니다. 일본어와 영어를 자유롭게 오가는 랩, 사신 컨셉을 끝까지 밀어붙인 가사가 맞물려, 버추얼 아티스트가 음악 시장에서 진지하게 받아들여지기 시작한 초기 사례로 꼽힙니다.
