At the concert I attended she messed up the lyrics and shouted "AH FUCK IT." and skipped a few lines to catch up to the song. Loved it.

[@CoreTendency]

Cool thing for us non-Japanese speakers to realize while listening to this song is that she's flipping between sounding like a "pillar of society" and sounding like a delinquent. The song is about being fed up with societal expectations. She's effectively voice acting in her songs to bring out those emotions.

[@ragesggaming]

honestly thing i love about ado is how it seems shes just having fun and doing what she wants but still aligned to the song

[@フルーツぶどう-h8q]

彼女はこのLIVEで、自分ぶっ壊しをしているロックで歌に対し真摯な素晴らしい感性の人です。

[@Wonka0998]

Chris always does a great job "imitating" Ado's sounds, but I think he couldn't keep up on this one 😂 Trully unhinged. Great video.

[@chrisliepe]

Ado is insanely talented.

[@Olkam-w5u]

@@chrisliepe I wonder what she will be like in 5 years...

[@Kinokokotaro]

Like Chris said, Ado is rock n roll. She's also punk, she's metal, but interestingly, she didn't grow up on that kind of music. She basically grew up listening to Vocaloid music like Hatsune Miku , listening to other singers doing cover versions of Vocaloid tracks, Disney theme songs, and Japanese rock. She's also a big fan of K-Pop. If you listen to her All Night Nippon radio show, you can tell that the way she sings is an extension of how she speaks. When she gets emotional or upset when she's speaking, her voice flips like the way she sings. Hope you get to see Ado live and maybe even interview her about her technique. Keep the Ado reactions coming!

[@Olkam-w5u]

She also listened to Quinn and Kiss, her dad had a CD collection

[@jackmanleblanc2518]

And today I learned that Vocaloid has been around long enough for people to grow up on it now. Wow, that's crazy. I'm only 29. Why do I feel old?

[@Olkam-w5u]

@@jackmanleblanc2518 How many interesting things there are in the world that we didn't know about... Vocaloid has existed since 2004. Since 2007, the virtual singer Hatsune Miku has appeared. And who knows what else the Yamaha corporation has done in secret laboratories )))

[@jackmanleblanc2518]

@@Olkam-w5u Oh, wow! I can't remember when I first heard of it but it wasn't back then.

[@Shanahra-ok1ne]

I have to admit, Chris Liepe became my most favourite reaction channel for Ado songs. His analyses are always on point and hearing his professional opinion and break down of Ado's voice is very entertaining AND educating. I learned alot here which enriched my enjoyment of Ado's songs and her incredible talent. It feels like I didn't really knew why Ado's voice had such an amazing impression and effect on me and now I see the reason behind it. Like as if someone knows why a masterpiece of art is a masterpiece not just because it looks pretty for one but also because one knows the difficulty behind the creation of it and how much talent, technic and work got put into it. I often wonder if Ado's voice and analyzing it had any influence on Chris' job as a vocal coach and if he was able to learn anything new from it which he may use in his lessons. Something like that would be really cool.

[@renbowo]

One thing I love about ado is that she does know what vocal techniques are, she knows the importance of them, but she literally just don't care when singing live, she wants to express what she is feeling, she wants for you to know what is in her heart and mind through her voice, when she is singing, she is just materializing her emotions through her voice.

[@AremZzZ]

Quick bit of context! The video you just watched doesn't just show how good and unhinged her usseewa performance is, but also demonstrates her progress as an artist over time, as this is a recopilatory video of her performing this song in four different tours over the years, I love this video because it not only shows how much she has improved her voice, but also how much more confident she is as a performer, as well as the venues getting bigger and flashier over time

[@ツシッジ]

Ooooh, I was wondering how her outfit and the cage (or lack there of) changed so fast

[@Jamie-A]

the face you made when she starts straight up screaming is the same face i made. unhinged, but somehow controlled. i truly can't wait to see how she matures as the years go by. Ado is really something special

[@smthspshl]

I'd love to hear more singers like Ado, they are absolutely free with their music

[@Shinje_Scraw]

Just look for visual kei bands, this style of singing is normal in japan, you can start with the best search DIR EN GREY

[@Shinje_Scraw]

@@smthspshl ok you are talking about new and young artists, just keep following japanese music that they will show up just like Ado, she sings like this because she grew up in a country full of singers like her, japanese people are used to this, I know so many singers like her but they are not 20 years old anymore.

[@yoshirakanon3525]

try Stacks. The band name is something like Akashic records.

[@diegoperez4224]

Ado doesnt sound like a sick goat.

[@CanaldoPortador]

Am I the only one who thinks Ado would make for a legendary metal singer?

[@chrisliepe]

I think so too

[@viivre]

the live version is so incredible. i love it bc of how raw her voice is, it expresses much more. glad u like it!

[@パワースポット-117]

自分はAboがまだ高校生の時のピアノバージョンの方が好きです。 ピアノ以外の音がないのでより生々しく感じます。

[@YuriiMercado]

Her live version of Tot Musica✨

[@itachi_was_not_wrong]

That long note singing " Mondaiwanaaash" at the end literally totally sounded like Ado saying " Yep I did all that and yes Im totally fine, here's your perfectly placed long note " like fkn salute bro I can only wonder what the nightmare the stage musicians had to go through in this performance, we should give them some credit too if they actually kept up with this all hell breaking loose

[@Fiftycentis]

I don't know if they were the same in these previous concerts too, but the ones at the world tour went as insane as her, especially the girl at the keyboard danced along the songs for the whole concert

[@Olkam-w5u]

In terms of taking care of her voice, she said in an interview: training, for example, I run every day. Be sure to sleep more after concerts. In another interview, she said not to repeat her screams with her vocal cords, otherwise there will be problems, because it is done differently (I did not understand how exactly in Japanese)

[@chrissi6097]

what i love about Ados live performances is that it feels like shes delivering the songs like she's reinacting a memory and letting her audience be a part of it (if that makes sense)

[@AS-kr3lu]

Adoの発声や表現に関してクリスさんが一番的を射た分析をいつもされてると思います。 テクニックより感情を優先してるというのもAdoの核心をつく指摘だと思います！ この動画は３年にわたる4本のライブを切り貼りしたものなので、後半に行くほどunhingedになっていきます。 私は実は最初の方のクリアな歌い方も好きなんです。メロディや音程がしっかりしていて本来の歌のうまさがよく分かり、声質の良さも存分に味わえるので。 最後のライブでは完全にライブ向きの力強いパフォーマンスに進化していて、もはや曲の原型をとどめていません(笑)。その分すべてを解き放ったような爆発力が人をひきつけて離しません。 年を追っての歌い方の変化やAdoが身につけた技、それによる曲の印象の変化なんかにも注目して頂いて、どう思うか感想を聞いてみたかったです。やっぱりクリスさんは後半に行くほど良いと感じるのでしょうか。好みの問題でもありますが曲の表現として感想を聞いてみたかったです。 今日は日本語で失礼しました。

[@フルーツぶどう-h8q]

技術的な事は此方の発言に賛同します。ここでADOは自分の持ち歌の型にハマった歌い方を嫌い（？）一度破壊し再構築しているなど、彼女はロックでカッコイイです！

[13:15] While I was trying to Mimic the "Intensity" without hurting my Voice, I did it FINALLY! NO STRAIN! My Testing and Practicing over and over for that Punch in my own Style of Singing finally paid off, I cannot explain the joy of getting to where I wanted to be without hurting my voice has gotten me so ecstatic! I'ma keep at it though to really Hone in on that feeling for that little bit of what my voice can do. Thanks for explaining what Ado is doing in depth because I am for certain and sure that you really helped me out there! If you have read this comment thank you, I'm one of your students by the way and so far things are going well for me! Aric Reyes-

[@danelyruiz1086]

Congratulations! May I please hear how did you get there? I've been practicing as well, but hurting my voice really fast 😢

[@iamo_san]

it's funny how metal music isn't mainstream now in Japan as it used to be back in 1980s~1990s or the early 2000s but her techniques are so influenced by metal-ish vocal cracks and distortions and she's one of the leading singers in the current Japanese music scene.

[@nicholasniap2720]

I had the previlege to listen Useewa LIVE. It was mindblowing. Anyway awesome vocal analysis as usual.

[@TheAmazingSultanessYT]

[@Olkam-w5u]

In general, with her voice, she could just sing, and she would be famous, but she does extreme things, tries, studies, she is interested (if you listen to her songs in retrospect, then a lot of what she does now, she didn’t do before did)

[@Olkam-w5u]

It's funny that at the same time, she can sing beautiful traditional songs, and also at a high level

[@gku8744]

It looks like a combination of several live concerts. Amazing performances. Great analysis as always.

[@reeel4915]

Yes, the first 1-2 minutes were from her tour "campanella" while the rest was from a tour called "Mars" iirc Edit: there is a more detailed reply, maybe check that out

[@ANDOR-]

Actually the first 50 seconds were from her first ever concert at ZEPP DiverCity, Kigeki (喜劇) ; then 30 seconds of her Campanella (カムパネルラ) two day show at Saitama Super Arena; then 30 seconds from her first real tour Shinkirou (蜃気楼), also from a ZEPP venue; and the last 90 sec were from the Mars (マーズ) Tour Final at Yokohama Arena.

[@reeel4915]

@@ANDOR- oh yeah, thank you. I was commenting on my phone so I couldn't read the title at that time and simply wrote what I could remember. Probably unrelated but I saw multiple live performances of that song and I find it amazing how it sounds unique every single time.

[@cathysnider8717]

Wow 🤯 As I pick up my jaw from the floor… Love this performance and your reaction and analysis. “Her voice is reacting to her emotions.” Ya, that’s what your courses have been unlocking in my voice over the past year. That and so much more, the vocal budgeting, the abandonment, the safe sustainable techniques for aggressive vocals, try everything judge nothing, it’s all there and more. Seeing and hearing performers like Ado sing like this while hearing your commentary helps drive home what you do and what you teach. So helpful so inspiring. Keep them coming 🙏🥰

[@包子扛大麥]

🤣🤣🤣 I love the way "As I pick up my jaw from the floor… " that you expressing the amzing performance of Ado. Totally agree. She is an amazing artist. Cannot wait to go to her Lives in Japan again.

[@Ruteru01]

(preface) this is a live footage from her first to 4th live concerts joint together so you can see the scenes changes 4 times. One thing to observe is from the 1st to the 4th concert you can hear how she just lets it go more especially the 4th one, its crazy. as someone who so far has been to all her concerts, the thing I lost the most about ADO is the fact that when she sings live there's always a twist compared to her recording, sometimes its a different mix, different screams or grits here and there and during her latest live she said she tries to convey different emotions all in her songs, ussewa is described as ”Anger" and she really does show it. Lately she has been so much more free compared to before, more movements, more improvisation and like Chris says, shes not always on pitch but she leans into the off pitch so bravely and freely it creates such a cool sound, I do wonder how her throat or lungs works lmao.

Great analysis. Just so you know the very last word of this song "mondai-wa-nashi" means "no problem at all".

[@megapede3000]

My favorite part of watching your Ado reaction videos is the dramatic irony. I've listened to her music so much that I know what insane things are coming that will excite you, and as you PAUSE and appreciate all the subtleties and techniques in the earlier parts of the song, the anticipation of seeing your reactions to later parts just builds and BUILDS. 9:16 could not have been funnier nor more perfect of an example for what I mean!

[@alexanderporrasgraciano3561]

This kind of AMAZING artists makes me grateful of being alive, tbh.

One of the Japanese voice trainers said that Ado has a conversational voice like the exercise he gives to students to develop resonance.

[@ITs_f1zzY-]

He’s such an ado fan, and I’m here for it🤤

[@AmariKeiko]

Omg! Im so glad you got to hear this amazing performance from her! It is seriously absolutely frickin’ amazing! I think you’d really like Unnämed, they have a very similar singing style to Ado and I think you’d love them! I’d definitely recommend their “God-ish” or “Show” covers!

[@lidiapiermattei9788]

thank u for continuing react at Ado 😭😭❤️

[@lyrea8111]

ado is fucking awesome and the instrumental parts, the drummers, especially that guitar part yall know what im talking bout

[@Daiya_What]

so glad you reviewed this, her usseewa performance is one of my favorites of her live performances (along with unravel because those CHILLS down my spine) especially since I get so nervous with people reviewing ado and disregarding her due to her unique techniques (though I haven't actually seen any vocal coaches do this) you're course has also genuinely helped me a bunch, especially in regard of teaching me proper form and placement PLUS giving me the much needed motivation to pursue my vocal goals!! I think i've said this before but I think you'd enjoy readymade by ado (though this might just be bias because its my all time favorite ado song) and also faouzia, who uses vocal techniques that are prevalent in speaking arabic in her singing to create some stunning vocals, and she also has an absolutely WILD vocal range :D anyways another great video, I'll be looking forward to the next one!!

[@VickSekhmet]

09:17 bro was blown away

[@spipher]

she does something to my soul with the live version and i love it

[@iamo_san]

i had goosebumps all over and almost had tears in my eyes on the last part where her voice totally went "unhinged", like "anata ja wakaranai kamo ne. ah tsumaranee, nankai kikaserunda sono memory" actually means "for you, it might make no sence at all(because you're too numb/dumb to understand)). ah it's so lame/boring how many times do you have to make me listen to your memories(by memories meaning all that nonsense you're showering me with)" and the last line "dou datte iize, mondai wa nashi" means "it doesn't matter to me, there's no problem at all(because i don't care less)" and the way she ends the song with that shouts truly gives the sensation of her not caring about singing words clearly but more focused on projecting core feelings or emotions. i think the technique she's using is somewhat similar to how metal singers sing but how she's utilizing it is almost like listening to emo/screamo style vocal.

[@barbara8062]

Amo a Ado me encanta como juega con su voz en vivo y como nos sorprende cada vez más.

[@owenlee7808]

That point you made about her not caring when she was screaming is really funny because when she looked back at her live Odo performance she definitely did care 😂

There is another interesting version of Usseewa, released not far after the original. It's a piano version, so it's much easier to hear Ado there. She's not as unhinged as during the live performance but it's still impressive since it's a piano and voice only cover and she makes it so intense

I'm Brazilian, and I can tell the pace of this song is very similar to what they play on the "trio elétrico" that is a truck with giant wall of sound boxes where "axé music" singers play for hours during carnival parties. The pace of the songs they play is always very fast. The breath control has to be beyond perfect to keep up with the beat while you're bouncing at the same time. I guess this singer can do that with no effort.
