Can you react to "VALSHE - BUTTERFLY CORE"? She has a unique beautiful voice. Oh by the way, Valshe looks like a boy, but she is a woman. Valshe is my favorite singer! She is the one who made me fall in love with music. 😍🔥💕

[@Kriss_941]

You should check out Architects - Gone With the Wind Live from Alexandra Palace (video uploaded by "TerWebz") It's a live performance that's heavy in more than one way, The song is from the last album written by guitarist Tom Searle before he lost his battle with cancer. This album and these songs were written by him as his last moments were playing out, he knew he was going to die and these are his last words and thoughts that he left behind... It's so fucking heartbreaking and seeing Sam (vocals) break down in tears on stage while the audience picks up and sings in his place is one of the most powerful moments I've seen from a music performance...

[@ChromicReads]

Can you react to her first take version of Mephisto or even the original version? Its so good!! We need more Queen Bee

[@pjesek]

You should react to Mephisto by Queen Bee on The First Take, it's so amazing!

[@RudeXII]

I second this! Her performance for Mephisto was much closer to the original song. I personally didn't like this first take performance of Fire, the original recording is just so good on it's own but she killed Mephisto 2x in a row

[@Maxwellish]

heck yes!!

[@mymemoriesofgoldenricefiel6472]

Wow, as a Japanese person, I'm really happy to have discovered new people overseas who are listening to Queen Bee. thank you. In Japan, the voices of various singers can be heard from the smartphones of parents working from home, or from the ceiling speakers of supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, and libraries in town, or during lunch time at daycare centers, elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools. Queen Bee is one of the most famous singers in Japan, which is full of music that can be heard every day from classroom televisions and speakers. Although many Japanese people are not good at dancing or expressing their emotions in a flashy way, there are many people who love singing and listening to music with family and friends so much that they invented karaoke. Later, I heard Ado's singing voice, and then I started listening to Kenshi Yonezu, LiSA, Yuuri, YOASOBI, Milet, Ameir, Official HIGE Dandism, ONE OK ROCK, BURNOUT SYNDROME, aina the end...I started listening to various genres since I was a child. It has become a habit to absorb singers and songs. Maybe if someone overseas saw the comment section of First Take, they'd think, ``Japanese people love music so much, and on top of that, they can be so talkative when it comes to written communication.It's completely different from the image of them being quiet and calm.They're very bright and energetic. I'm sure you'll be surprised and think, "They're curious and fun-loving people." Sometimes there are singers like Wednesday Campanella, Okazaki taiiku, and asmi who write interesting lyrics. Welcome to the free-spirited, fun and chaotic world of Japanese music. Enjoy it to the fullest.

[@specificsoup]

So do most people in Japan know the band Queen Bee? I first saw their video for Desco sometime in 2012. I'm from the US. My friend showed it to me and I said to him "How did you find this?" because I thought the band must be so underground/unknown. I've been so happy and amazed by their success and popularity increasing over the years, but I'm still surprised to see someone say Queen Bee/Avu-chan is one of the most famous in Japan.

[@Kuroshiki_55]

Im happy to say as a Belgian i got to know all these amazing artist names u mentioned through anime. I love how these artists get a way to get known here too. Absolutly love it ❤arigatooo 😊

[@Geulissitarin]

I remembered the first time i hear this song in Dororo.. I have goosebumps and never skip the opening.

[@emmamiller3993]

This is such a great dive into this. I’ve seen so many reactors completely disregard this artist because it isn’t what they conventionally think is “good singing” even though it’s a complete mastery! You’d probably enjoy their “Mephisto” First Take as well. (As many other commenters also have said haha)

[@Magdalena-rh4mu]

Avu-chan’s voice is so rich 🥺🥺🥺

[@192palmforest]

I literally dropped everything and clicked this video right away after I saw it.

[@lilwombat]

I love her I was losing it the first time I heard this song, there was so many colours

[@Bluray2]

You mean his? :D

[@myld73]

I'm glad you enjoyed how Avu flows between and mixes different textures of their voice! Honestly, every time I listen to Queen Bee it just feels as if the singer is having fun/enjoying themselves and that's so enthralling to me. Great insights to what is happening with the voice as always!!

I'd love to see you react to Mephisto by Queen Bee on the first take because there's a lot of things happening and your explanations would thus be very interesting!

[@WaterYaDune]

One of my favorite First Take performances, this is gonna be a good one :)

[@kimia9]

you always react to so many interesting (and my fav) younger japanese artists, it's funny you didn't react to the mother of them all yet~ shiina ringo. i'm pretty sure your audience mentioned her by now since you reacted to her song being covered by ado. pliiiiz get to the queen of the queens sir😆😆

[@EverCloser]

I never listen to Queen Bee and her singing voice really suprise me too

[@myld73]

aaa omg you reacted to queen bee!!!!!!!!!! thank you!!!

[@tasogarerubica]

Avu-chan is an one of a kind multitool of vocal range

[@herokenzan2231]

My QUEEN!!!!

[@gnir1925]

Watch also Queen Bee's Mephisto in The First Take. Great analysis btw.

[@lyra5396]

Loved your first take videos! They gave a ton of insight into the vocal and how much more impressive it is while knowing what to focus on listening to, thank you ^^ I think you might enjoy Creepy Nuts - Bling Bang Bang Born from first take too. It's absolutely nuts song in the positive sense (pun intended), The vocals without looking at the video with singer made me think there's more than one person singing which gave me a big surprise. Definitely worth checking out

[@user-ut4fr4pj8g]

Personally, I think Chris's tension will be higher with the Queen Bee's Mephisto and the first take version! ❤Also, it's not as unique as Ado and Queen Bee, but Lisa's Gurenge and Homura's first take version are also the best! I recommend it!😂

[@ahii_4u]

Mephisto next pls🥺the first take by Queen Bee also

[@user-wj8hl1rp3r]

メフィスト！！ Please please please please please!!!

[@Maxwellish]

100% do her Mephisto First Take performance, it’s so good!

[@user-ut4fr4pj8g]

The disturbing (Jama) that Ado was singing at the age of 16 when he hadn't debuted yet also has a great expression. This is for myself who cares about the eyes around me. It's a song about being disgusted with the people around you who are wanted. When I was 17 years old, I was singing a song on the theme of jealousy that I wanted to admit but didn't want to admit that if there was no person named bocca della verita. Since my debut, I've been singing a song similar to aishite. I'm good at expressing emotions according to the lyrics. It's interesting, so I recommend it.😊 It's an interesting video to know about Ado in the past❤

[@user-pu3jw8rs6z]

お勧めの2曲！ ReoNa - ANIMA / THE FIRST TAKE T.M.Revolution - WHITE BREATH / THE FIRST TAKE

[@ChrisSings]

Betelgeuse by Yuuri on The First Take please! He is a recently exploded singer songwriter (much like ed sheeran) with excellent use of grit, falsetto, engaging and disengaging compression, phonetics. Very dynamic baritone voice!

[@Someone-wx9lq]

Late for the party 😅, but thank you for the reaction! As always it's great to hear your insights! i'd love it if you could check out Supercell's "My Dearest", but I'm not sure if that would fit the channel that much. But as other comments said, basically any of Queen Bee's songs are easily worth a video of their own.

[@statodis3383]

[@Hepheat75]

After months of practice and weekends of sore throats, I taught myself to sing like Avu-chan. So happy I discovered this legend.

[@essac1]

Hey man, love your videos! I just wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind checking out/ doing more of a deep dive in Shaun Morgan's voice from seether ? I love his rasp and really would like to learn how to get that sound. I love the song "Pass Slowly" cause of his range in it but in the song "Like Suicide" he does some screams which are super impressive! Thanks!

[@chrisliepe]

Hey! do you have a direct link I could check out? I've done a video on Shaun, and I really like Seether... I have to be choosy on revisiting artists and kinda test how the audience responds when I do a new (to the channel) artist as well... Good ole algorithms :(

You should do a reaction and vocal analysis to Red - Part That's Holding On I think you'd like it, cause it's awesome

Can you please check out another amazing japanese male singer YUURI - BETELGUISE from first take too. For me he's another top notch vocalist on par with Taka imo. He got techniques and mainly rock ish voice too

Hi Chris great video, can you react to Mrs green apple Boku no koto? It is a great song with seemless falsetto and head voice chest voice connection, great range

[@fatal1103]

pls you should also react to Mephisto by Queen Bee on the first take

[@BloodyShedProductions]

Different genre but you should check out Ice Nine Kills, Spencer Charnas has amazing clean vocals and screams

[@DanceWithAmps]

How do you sing softly and connected? I can sing high notes full-bodied without tension but when I try to sing it softly (like the bridge in The Weeknd - This Hills) my voice is really unstable and it just doesn't sound good.

[@Fatalistic_Viking]

I can't wait for your next reaction to some heavy ONE OK ROCK. One song that's incredible is "One by One" live at Saitama super arena 35xxxv tour. Taka's harsh vocals in the performance makes it feel like a Linkin Park concert.

Can you do a reaction/breakdown for Caskets!? Glass Heart, Guiding Light, Lost in Echoes, Believe, or More than Misery (feat. Telle Smith) Are all great listens and i think Matt does some awesome things with his voice that are a different and create a cool approach to metalcore music :) (totally unbiased opinions of course xD)

On a completely different note, i think you should check out Maximum the Hormone. They were a very big band in Japan in the 2000s- early 2010s, and the screamer has one of the most unique screams ive ever heard. They are like a Japanese System of a Down

[@sheeptar-8362]

if you ever accomplished anything in your life (which I sincerely doubt) even close to this artist's craft, you didn't deserve it and you will lose everything as soon as people once again learn to stop hating each other for simply living different lives than they do. Reconsider why you need to leave such comments. What's the point? This person is simply trying to live their life and bring joy to others with a skill they have honed to a point most of us will only dream of. Even if you don't enjoy some aspect of their sound, attacking them personally based on their lifestyle or even any other part of their performance like this is twisted. Whatever connection you have with some God or group of similarly narrow-minded people that makes you think this way is broken and I hope you find some path away from the road of hate.
