That laughter that turns into singing? Pure art.

3:03 Ok but does everyone agree that the laughing-singing was ICONIC

when the actor said "literally either" i felt a surge of violence rushing through my spine lol he did a good job being detestable

I hope Rina makes more songs like this in the future. This nu metal vibe is amazing

You know he's a good actor when you literally wanted to kick his ass. Btw i LIVE for this song

No one gonna talk about that smooth transition from her laughing to singing??? Tf

As an Indian born in the UK, it was these kind of remarks that are one of the many reasons I left the UK. Whew... A great video and super tune!!

this is not a song, it's an anthem

“Sandra Oh or Lucy Liu?” “Literally either”

"sandra oh or lucy liu?" "literally either" OMG

As a tired old man this is my very first exposure to Rina besides her Metallica cover (which I just heard 5ish minutes ago)... She's amazing & fun and an absolute talent. Rina you have a new "old" fan! 😅

Rina is a pillow and the world is just sleeping on her like she isn't THE f*cking GOAT. Lyrics, visuals, she brings it all, maybe I'm being biased but pleeeease, she deserves much moreeee

That man is the purest example of "I'm not racist I have black friends"

She didn't miss the grammy's, the grammy's missed her.

Imagine hearing this live omg

Just discovered this and this is so relatable. They weird micro-agressions and just plain racism in a "casual convo" are portrayed really well here.

when she laughed and turned it into a note, *I DIED*

Tbh that dude’s acting was so good... I HATE HIM 😂

She should be so much bigger in this industry this woman is literally making a incomparable work in pop music

I hope we get blessed with an album with this metal edge to it in the future. This is insane and such a huge song. Well done you beautiful human

He’s just acting he’s just acting he’s just acting he’s just acting he’s just acting he’s just acting

see the racism at the beginning of this video doesn't sound forced at all- he's being casually tone deaf and shes being polite and listening to his words kindly. It's not a loud scene or a debate and from across the room you'd think it's just a normal conversation. Racism hides in normal every day interaction. This is very teachable vid

I had the worst week of my like, i was tired of my job, I've got catcalled 3 times the same f day. This masterpiece started playing on my headphones and when I tell you this song saved me, I'm not joking, it relieved me of all that was on my mind, thank you queen.

Lyrics incase someone wants them Let's go I want to know, I want to know, yeah I want to know, I want to know, yeah I want to know, I want to know, yeah I want to know, I want to know Silence finally in my head But it's too late, you already left You're preaching even though I'm dead You're like the first time under my pride How come you don't expect me To get mad when I'm angry? You've never seen it though I know I'm not the only one How come you don't respect me? Expecting fantasies Leave our reality, why don't you just sit down and Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up (you, uh-huh) Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up (you, I see you) Shut the fuck up Have you ever thought about taping your big mouth shut? 'Cause I have, many times, many times I want to know, I want to know, yeah I want to know, I want to know, yeah I want to know, I want to know, yeah I want to know, I want to know Patience, overrated If you want it, come and get it The feeling, need to mention Rips me open, rips me open I'm not being naturally negative, no I don't wanna be that girl again, 'cause I've been done and been through more friends Than I can count on my fingertips How come you don't detest me? I am your medicine And your reality, why don't you just sit down and? Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up (you, uh huh) Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up (you, I see you) Shut the fuck up Have you ever thought about taping your big mouth shut? 'Cause I have, many times, many times Have you ever thought about taping your big mouth shut? 'Cause I have, many times, many times Like the first time, like the first time Like the first time, like the first time Like the first time, like the first time Like the first time Like the first time, please Like the first time, please Like the first time, please Like the first time, please

As a Hong Konger who study in uk I can tell you I have a tinder date that goes exactly like the intro, but with chinese stereotype.... I did throw a cup of water on him...

Guy: This date is totally hitting off. Girl:

After watching this I-don't-know-how-many-times now, I just realized and really appreciate that the "version" of Rina with the best lighting, best focus, best framing, and overall easiest to see is the real Rina sitting at the table.

Crazy how rina invented acting and singing in the same day

how it is possible for her videos to get better and better when they're already everything

That dudes acting was so good i literally squished my popcorn

I love this video, song & Rina. Sending empathy, love and solidarity to my Asian siblings.

The metal turning into a soft ballad turning back to heavy metal??? And the scream turning to a high note??? Insanely ICONIC

This banger hit me like a truck sending a main character into another world.

he's such a good actor that when i heard him say the first few lines i immediately skipped to the song because i knew i wouldn't handle the bs he's spewing ❤

Not a big video watcher so I hadn't seen this before, but whoever wrote the script deserves a massive raise! Painfully relatable and hilarious

omg imagine being the actor and getting this script and realizing all of the horrible shit you have to say haha.

I just realized she portrayed 3 versions of perceived Asian women: The ghost, the edgy, the dark, and the sexy femme fatale.

The date sketch is hilarious and the song is a banger 😄🤘

this entire album is killer ! cant believe it look me this long to get into her stuff

A guy actually told me he wished my eyes were more “funny looking” because I reminded him of his ex. I never ghosted someone before him, but he made it really easy to.

When that guy had stabbed that sushi roll with his chopsticks I felt like something has died inside of me

The way he uses the chopsticks will forever haunt my dreams.

"Why do you wear abayas and head scarf?" "You look like a nun!" "Don't cover up so much. You look like a drum." "You're fair, you don't look like a South Indian. You seem like you're from Malaysia or someplace North." "Oh you can speak Tamil! Even good Hindi! And fluent english!" I had a rush of all these terrible memories when I heard this. So relatable girl!

i was NOT expecting that when the music started holy SHIT this is epic

If Rina could get in touch with Rico Nasty and combine their energies for a collab, I would love that for me, and them.

I find it amazing how this song is just basically canned frustration and rage just let loose in a shopping mall. Love it so much!

this reminded when i introduced my best friend (she's Korean) to one of my new friends. and the first thing this new friend said was "wow you speak English very well" and i was so baffled that she said that just straight up to my other friends face. Needless to say i haven't talked to the new friend since for obvious reasons.

I've actually had a white dude tell me "wow you're Arab? That's really in right now."

crazy how rina invented singing when she started laughing at 3:04 & then switched to a perfect note

As a Japanese having studied abroad in the UK, lived in Europe for several years as well as in the Middle East and Africa, this conversation is fairly commonly experienced by East Asian women and men staying in the UK or having conversation with British persons, especially when meeting with new people without introduction of your friends. Having lived outside Europe and Japan, I can equally confirm that globally speaking, Europe is the world's major Mecca of racism against Asians - they are the top above all regions in this name, which needs a little bit of sincere reflection of its citizens in the region for their advancement of education, civility and civilisation. Bravo to Rina!

This is relatable. In school I’m always hearing annoying dang people who don’t shut it talk trash about race, religion, the LGBTQ, and people who didn’t even do anything to them. I sometimes just want to go off on them but I’m always scared to. This literally just makes me feel like I can do it and one day maybe I will go off on those fake ahh people. Thanks Rina ur a queen

A dude tried to make me feel special by letting me know I’m “much darker than the girls I usually go for”

What's your favourite genre? *When women make scary songs*

this conversation is a summary of what many descendants or people of East Asian who live or were born abroad suffer .... SHE IS INSANELY ICONE 🤯🤯 HOW HAVE I NEVER LISTEN YOUR SONGs BEFORE?! She's so versatile, she goes from pop to rock ... i loved it

the way he stabbed the sushi at the start was great it was so subtle but it was like the sushi was my heart

I'm triggered by the man in this video. As a Japanese woman living in Europe, this kinda conversation by men is super typical. Everyone should know that fetishising a certain race is also racism.

Are we just gonna ignore how much of a SERVE the ponytail and bralette look is😭

Let's be real, this was the one that got her cast in John Wick! Get it, Rina!!

I got goosebumps when the music kicked in after the intro. So many friends have been recommending Rina Sawayama recently and now I get why!

Wait did she just melodize that laugh???? Edit: Thanks for the corrections under this comment☺️☺️☺️😘😘😘

she literally sang her laugh i can't

Oh your music is amazing! I love how interesting your melodies are. Yours are unpredictable but also they sound really catchy.

ok. this is the first time i am ever hearing her music and omg. i am now obsessed with her music. i love this so much ❤️❤️

Rina is back and she’s cooler then ever

"Are you just black" "you don't look black" "why is your skin color different from your siblings" "You speak so well are you trying to be white" "You don't sound black " "where are your people from"

I miss this Rina Sawayama so much

So happy your music found me... I love you Rina

"Oh you're Indian? You don't have a long name? Do you speak Hindi? All you eat is curry?" Guess what song I'll play to them.

The actor was amazing I hate him so much

him talking over her literally every time she speaks is also just - rage

Lovvvvve this! The metal sound is class mixed with the softer pop

funny how Mozart hasn’t released anything since Rina made this...

The way he never lets her finish a sentence makes me so MAD, like i know this is acting but-

"Are women allowed to game in Japan?" - "huh yeah, yeah" - "That's GREAT! I'm glad things are changing." - "I think it's always been like that." GOLD!

Not a single thing he said was a compliment. Didn't expect a nu metal instrumental sound. \m/

I once dated an asian girl and i remember that she asked me "why i was into asian women". I didnt realized at the time that she was worried that i was with her just because of that. btw 10/10 acting for the guy. I cringed so hard lol

Whoever wrote that script is a genius. Every sentence makes me wanna throw up.

Loved this song for a while- what an incredible artist.

How he just talks over her. And their banter at the end 🍶🍚plus a whole entire banger in between 💗

"Aw, that's a shame, I love Pon Pon Pon" I DIED

this reminds me of how somebody was friends with me just because they thought i was korean (i’m half chinese half vietnamese) and when i told them i wasn’t korean, they blocked me and stopped talking to me :)

Never heard this woman before but this shit is pretty tight. Her singing reminds me of 90s but has that metal behind it. Shits pretty wild.

Reminds of of the band 𝒮𝓁𝑒𝒾𝑔𝒽 𝐵𝑒𝓁𝓁𝓈, with the incredible switch from sweet singing to Ḱ̵͈̥̫͈̊̑̈E̴͕̦͂̊̈́R̶̢̦̯͔̩̥̫̂́̄̆͆̍̚͜R̸̡̳̖̻͙̦͒̎̚A̴̺̙͇͖͇͈̫̞̩̅͊͐̒̏͋̃̚͘N̷͙̗̹̠̫̟͉̓̊̇͊̂͊̏͐̓͝G̶͕̫̀G̵̡̢̳͙̰̩̯̮̘̿̈̾́͑́G̶͓̙͙̬͚̮̅̈̏ͅG̷̢̙͝Ġ̷̢̗̠̯̮̗̪̽̎̿G̵̦͔͕͓͎͔͖̮͒̏̿͌̃̑̋̈́G̴̲̩͊̀Ģ̸͇̦͛͂ and back again. Love it 🤘🤘

Rina, sweetie... let me BREATHE. You cannot go THIS HARD

when he said he's "culturally indebted to kill bill" and "kamikaze mission", i cringed so hard

I knew intellectually what micro aggressions were but holy shit this is the first time I really understood emotionally

It’s the first time I heard any of Rinas music and I’m hooked!

RINA LITERALLY SAID LADIES OF COLOR WE ARE ANGRY TODAY ‼️‼️

That intro brought back YEARS of microagressions. "You dont look mexican" " can you speak your native language?" "omg, why arent you celebrating 5 de mayo? its your peoples holiday" "do you, like, know any drug dealers?" "Are you an illegal immigrant?" along with people making comments about my butt, lips, and hair 🙃

This song just keeps getting better every time I listen!! Thanks for inspiring young women to be boss. ☀️✨🍀

Rina is basically my favorite artist of every genre ❤️

I just love how theatrical everything looks. The evil stare transitions into the crazy laugh, then the metal elements.. I'm all in.

"I was into Pokémon before the Japanese were" has got to be the funniest thing I've heard this month.

What an elegantly produced video! 👏👏

Literally shaking in my chair trying to get through the beginning because it's so real

I’ve never heard of her and I wasn’t expecting a rock song omg?? A stanning today!

“Oh your not mixed... your hair is pretty and long for a black girl. Is it real? Can I check?” First time seeing this video and I had war flashbacks.

im forever indebted to rina sawayama now

I think she is an amazing artist 🎨 😍

I’ve never heard of her until I found this song and I couldn’t be happier that UKposts recommended me this!!!!!!!
