[@andr_w]

Gurenge does mean 'red lotus' but it's the Japanese version of the Chinese characters. In the "red" of gu-renge in English we would probably describe as crimson - which happens to also be a color motif in the performance video - the color of her dress, the hue of her hair, and the detail on her headset. I think Lisa is a fan of crimson, too. Gurenge - crimson lotus - is an important image for songs like this, as the lotus is an important image to Japanese culture, in particular Buddhism. A lotus is known as a flower which only blooms in muddy waters and cannot thrive in clean or sanitized waters. Thus, a lotus is often used as an image of something which thrives in spite of the dirt/dirtiness. As for the CJK languages helping with pitch - in Korean - there is not the same time of pitch accent or pitch tone as in Japanese or Chinese. In Japanese, pitch accent in phrases is important - the same word have different meanings based on the pitch of the mora/syllables of each phrase and in Japanese pitch is standardized in phrases/sentences. In English, we stress (make louder) a syllable or word to change the meaning. Thus, in Japanese, "ha-shi" means different things if the first part of the word has a high followed by a low pitch, a low pitch throughout, or a low followed by a high pitch. While, a sentence doesn't sound "right" if the pitch-accent in the sentence is incorrect. Meanwhile, in the Chinese languages, the pitch-tone of each word changes the meaning. Thus, "ma" can mean different things based on the pitch. This does mean that Chinese and Japanese speakers are listening for pitch in a way that English speakers are not. So, Chinese and Japanese speakers and singers are likely to be better at hearing for pitch. Not sure if it means that singing is any easier, but, it does mean that their ears are likely to pick-up on pitch quicker than an monolingual English speaker.

[@kaku_zato]

Yeah, I'd say it's "crimson" in English not "red".

[@VzDeath]

I am glad that there was someone else who could explain this in such detail. I was cringing at his explaination but I gave him a pass because I know he isn't very versed in other languages and cultures because he doesn't originally speak English or any Asian languages.

[@PantsuMaster]

“Japanese version”. A lot of people misunderstand. Japanese Kanji is literally Traditional Chinese characters. None of the characters are different. So I don’t think they can be considered as “Japanese version” when both of them are the same as each other… Edit: Which is why Google translate mistook it as Chinese because it is literally chinese characters.

[@VzDeath]

@@PantsuMaster Not all of the kanji are the same as the chinese characters because there was an era of simplification in china after they were brought to Japan. Example 風 and 风. He was just somehow mistaking a song from a series which he "knew" was an anime which comes from japan but still for some reason didn't pick japanese to get the actual translation correct.

[@andr_w]

@@VzDeath To add to what you said, when the Japanese started using Chinese characters for written language, not only was there different forms of writing simplification, the meanings behind the characters diverged. A classic example is that the characters which make up the title "Mister" 先生 in Mandarin today mean "teacher" in Japanese. Or that "Teacher" 老师 in Mandarin would be "elderly pastor/master/teacher" in modern Japanese. So, while the character systems may be related, they are not necessarily equal to each other in meaning, use, and even writing.

[@duckmcduckins8475]

She invented her own breathing style that's why she sound so amazing

[@dienekes6420]

*Approvingly nods in Inosuke*

[@cyberpotato63]

No autotune on the voices on "The First Take". The show features live vocal performances to either live accompaniment or backing track. No vocal filtering or enhancement programs allowed. It must be done start to finish, in one take. It's a great place to get familiar with many of Japan's best popular music singers.

[@Rosannasfriend]

She’s incredible. There’s another song that she sings that is slower, called “HOMURA” I believe. Fantastic ballad.

[@DixxyV]

I still remember her debut anime song in Angle Beats back in 2010, it was my favorite song. She has come really long way.

I've been her fan ever since!

[@reyniitaxd1]

yeahhh!!! i have so many song form Lisa in my phone since her beginnings ❤️

[@MegaRaikou]

Yes you're right the actual theme song for the anime has more instruments and it sounds great in that version too. Whether you make a video about or not you should still listen to the original! :) oh yea and if you watch anime then Demon Slayer is def something you should watch as the movie after season 1 just finished but is still available to watch and season 2 is coming in the fall so this is a perfect time to get into it and anyone else that's interested in picking up a new show as Demon Slayer started in 2019. It's a great gateway anime if anyone hasn't watched anime before, it was for me and I've only seen Death Note before this one

[@HofTheStage]

Death Note is amazing. I've also watched Naruto, Full-metal Alchemist (and brotherhood), Death Parade, Claymore, Castlevania... A lot of great anime out there

[@scelohead8596]

Honestly I like some anime and started with fruits basket but the theme song for this anime is amazing I can’t say it enough it’s amazing 😭😭😭😭😭

[@tsuyuasui7727]

My first anime was Soul Eater, quite the start to my love for anime, but it took me a long time to start watching Demon Slayer. Since then, though, I can confidently say that Demon Slayer is one of my favorite anime of all time (Out of the shows I have seen, at least). The music, the characters, the story, the animation, all of it is absolutely incredible to me!

[@pmxlp5905]

I love her so much! she makes me feel so much emotions when she sings. I recomend you to hear her singing first take "Homura". That song... omg, Im sure you will love it.

[@Yezaworld]

Next Homura ~Lisa

[@SLKRR]

LiSA has perfect voice control, and she can switch her technique so effortlessly from note to note. Everyone else has already mentioned it, but if you want to react to more LiSA, your next song should be Homura.

[@Luffy_D_1999]

When he said " I feel nervous for her for some reason " i laughed inside because i knew he was gonna blown away by her performance 😀

[@lochlaw]

Lisa's voice is so characteristic, and so good, that you know when it's her song.

[@wa5636]

You’re right the original track has more instruments

[@Viviz_94]

The way she flip her voice just like how we flip our scrambled egg on the pan mean she made its look easy but that’s the hardest singing style to do if you’re not professional or beyond it

[@johnpaulasilo7338]

Homura by lisa also.. plsss.. she's a great japanese singer.. and it's japanese not chinese..

[@christopherMprice]

I don't care how many times I hear this version, it brings me to near tears everytime

[@jjrbenis07]

I've seen LiSA burst into tears during a live performance of "Ichiban no Takaramono". She really gets into her performances.

[@alylyyyyyyy4304]

i love that song from angel beats! it makes me cry everytime i listen to it.

[@burns0100]

Most of her music does have a deeper more emotion driven meaning behind it. It's why like you picked up, she sings it like she wants to burst out. LiSA really does give it her all for all of her songs.

[@T._.liu.]

For the record I'm just gonna say that this is a Japanese song and while it translates to red lotus in Chinese, it means the same thing in Japanese

[@meff841]

I notice you keep referencing “Mandarin languages” when talking about pitch, but that’s not a thing. There’s only one Mandarin language and Lisa’s singing in Japanese, and the two languages belong to complete different language families. Chinese languages such as Mandarin and Cantonese are Sino-Tibetan. Japanese is generally regarded as part of the Japonic language family, though there’s some debate that it should be considered Altaic instead.

[@bazilio8258]

I guess he wanted to say "tonal languages". And Chinese/Mandarin is just first one that come to mind (thou there are way more than few of them)

However, I just wanted to point out that the "mandarin languages" you pointed out does not include japanese. japanese is in its own language family and is not related to other languages :) Google translate only said the title is chinese because japanese has three alphabets, and the chinese alphabet is one of them.

She's the best Japanese singer imo, if you want your heart to be touched this is THE girl. She oozes emotion and passion on every note. I'd recommend LiSA~Homura on The First Take channel too, that's the ending song to the Demon Slayer movie which is a direct sequel to the first season and btw the anime is fantastic. I'd also like to recommend a check out on the singer of my favorite band ever, which is Japanese too. Name's Band-Maid and the singer is Saiki Atsumi, an underrated voice chameleon that while not being the craziest singer you'll ever hear she's still a powerhouse with a wide range of vocal techniques, such a complete vocalist that adapts to anything her insane band throws against her. Check out the acoustic versions of Anemone or Puzzle, and well if you don't mind, on the rest of the band too. They're awesome 🤘🕊️

If you have any interest in the Japanese language, you could learn to hear the pitch in words like Japanese people do.

That happens a lot in English as well. Take the phrase "I speak english" If I asked what language you speak, they would use the word 'ga' before English to emphasize that it is opposed to other languages. We would emphasize the word 'english'. If I asked if you spoke or wrote english, they would use 'wa' to emphasize the word 'speak', as we would pronounce it differently. Imagine saying "I SPEAK english" if I asked which language you spoke. It would sound like you're a foreigner.
