Dimash Kudaibergen - Autumn Strong REACTION

I was halfway through editing my first reaction to this performance when I found out Gloria Wu made a fantastic translation and history video for this performance, so I have included her translation and link to her video below.
Gloria Wu's video: • Dimash translated: the...
Gloria Wu's translation:
Dimash: To master a Chinese song in one week is really too difficult for me.
The lyrics are especially profound. I am truly moved when I listen to the song. That’s why I chose this song. My accent is the most problematic. I worry that members of the audience may not understand what I am singing.
For the sake of the audience, I must devote one hundred percent. That’s the only way for the audience to respond in kind, to accept me one hundred percent. In order to show gratitude to the passionate audience, I am performing a Chinese song on stage for the first time. No matter how much hard work I have to put in, my only wish is for everyone to witness the result.
Song lyrics in English:
Autumn settles in my heavy heart
Wine mingles with a thousand feelings
Farewells are as many as fallen leaves in this season
With your hand clutched at my heart
I need you to remember our unspoken promise
I do not fear longing
But your sorrow haunts me
We have but the wind to blame for our parting
I do not fear solitude
But your loneliness haunts me
No one will hear of our desolation
Autumn settles in my heavy heart
Wine mingles with a thousand feelings
Farewells are as many as fallen leaves in this season
With your hand clutched at my heart
I need you to remember our unspoken promise
I do not fear longing
But your sorrow haunts me
We have but the wind to blame for our parting
I do not fear solitude
But your loneliness haunts me
No one will hear of our desolation
I do not fear longing
But your sorrow haunts me
We have but the wind to blame for our parting
I do not fear solitude
But your loneliness haunts me
No one will hear of our desolation

DIMASH e FORMIDABIL !

[@patriciapalmer1377]

My eyes are burning, my throat choked up, you can hear a pin drop in the audience and emotion and respect is palpable in everyone.

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

Sweet, beautiful angel Dimash. Never disappoints. I’m glad you’re back on the Dimash train. There’s a Chinese artist on KZbin called The portrait art, who drew a really beautiful picture of Dimash and he also reacted to this song, according to him Dimash’s pronunciation is really good. He also talks in depth about the lyrics. Worth watching.

[@sallystubbs7417]

Actually, Dimash was the ONLY foreign competitor on “The Singer” in 2017. And the youngest. And totally unknown in China. The other competitors were all established Chinese singers with substantial fan bases. Thank you for returning to Dimash!!

[@joyvoice8754]

Again, this intensity touched me ... every time... like shocked... what a deep real artist... gratitude that we can experience this... The woman at the end is her! The woman the song is telling about! This was a photo of her, as an old woman!!!!!

[@TreMcLeod_]

That’s so beautiful!! 😭😭

[@debbienockels7255]

So good to have you back with us, Tre! You’re right, this is one of Dimash’s finest performances, on many levels. The Gloria Wu backstory is not exactly complete, based on other things I’ve read. For one thing, Yoshiko did return to China, albeit many years later as an old woman. For another, her Japanese identity was officially revealed in order to prevent her execution by the Chinese government for treason, due to her supposedly degrading portrayal of Chinese women in a few Japanese films. Because she was of Japanese origin, she was deported instead of being executed. Something along those lines anyway. Ironically, in Japan she was frequently reviled for being too Chinese. None of which detracts from the haunting beauty of this song, or Dimash’s equally compelling performance. Truly one of his best! A Florida Dear.

[@suedouglas5455]

Chinese reactors have said his Mandarin was brilliant, so much so they thought he was a Chinese National! His outfit is how they used to dress in China, that’s why the audience were delighted to see how he was dressed when he came on to the stage!

[@juliaclementfontaine3506]

I miss you!!!! please continue!!! Dears Love You!!!!

[@oscargovea5487]

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

Hello

[@davidbangtson3109]

I have probably heard this song at least 50 times, and it makes me cry every single time. So beautiful and sad and so beautifully sung. Dimash just hit it out of the park! I saw a video done by an artist who speaks fluent Mandarin and he stated that Dimash pronounced the lyrics EXACTLY like a native Chinese person would have pronounced it.

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

Very nice reaction...

[@qing5432]

Such great comments bro!! I love your reaction and your words!!

[@dearlydears5301]

Masterpiece that no Japanese nor Chinese singers would ever be able to surpass. Couldn't even dream of surpassing. This song was composed and originally sung by a Japanese. Then various Chinese singers (not necessarily from China) did covers on this song.

[@floracuentas5261]

Bravo 👏

[@greenstar7492]

He is magical....thanks for this reaction

[@sandrahurtado8096]

Es hermoso 💞💞

[@tuttasb5338]

So nice to see you back with Dimash, thank you.

[@mtcreations4218]

The cameo at the end is Toshiko Yamaguchi, the subject of the song.

[@lusiak7840]

I'm glad you came back to Dimash, Tre. This is one of my favorite Dimash songs. Watch another version of it at the Arnau Kiev Concert 03/11/2020. You can easily find it on Dimash's channel in a separate video. It is something...

[@wilkvanburen]

Just shows how phenomenal his voice really is; he can make, not only audience members emotional while singing in THEIR language, but also competing contestants! Truly amazing!

[@pamscarr8696]

The song writer was her love. They showed him in the first minute or so.

[@bettychang5114]

Excellent reaction. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@feniks310368]

I really love your reactions to Dimash and this one was great...you noticed so many details that I didn't see in 4 years watching this performance and after so many reactors it is always interesting to hear a new way of seeing and hearing this beautiful song and meaning of it. This is btw still one of my favorite performance by Dimash and it always make me cry. I am glad that your plants are doing great and can't wait for next reaction to my angel Dimash. Greetings from Croatian Dear :))))))))))))))

[@Snarky_Tart]

Welcome back, Tre, you've been missed. This performance of "Autumn Strong" has stayed in my Top 3 of Dimash performances for 4 years. After watching probably hundreds of reactions to it, your reaction is one of the best I've seen. I've always thought too that the soprano section represents the actress, and that the pure artistry of Dimash's cry on "NO ONE" is soul piercing. Thank you for taking your time with this one, and for bringing your heart to it. You've noticed and said everything I could hope to hear about this performance. (Plants that have music played for them grow better than those without, and evidence shows that they do best of all with classical music. I think if you play "Autumn Strong" for them every day they will be happy.)

[@heathercronkhite4568]

Welcome back Tre Please react to Daybreak from Dimash. You definitely need the backstory so watch on Gloria Wu's channel and then watch his performance at Bastau . As for the plant's your doing awesome your a great Dad

[@chriskorn2238]

It`s very interesting which songs Dimash chose to reborn them in a new way. This song is about 20 years old like many others he sings. This is a wonderful song, beautifully sung by him.

[@jacks9624]

Hi, Tré, good to see you listening to Dimash again, I love your reactions! This is a farewell song, and we all know how hard the loss is, so we all can feel this song very deeply. I mean, yes, we do know that changes in life are inevitable, but it is only human to mourn our losses… Now, about Dimash “showing off” as it is often misinterpreted… Hope this would not sound invasive or rude from me, I mean it in the gentlest possible way of explanation. Please remember he comes from classical music background, therefore, (more often than not) the format he uses to construct a song is the format of La grande aria. It took centuries to develop in such a way which gives the most pleasure to the audience, and this is what it looks like for the last couple of centuries: Aria consists of three parts. First part is ‘recitative’ - introduction part, almost speech-like. Second comes ‘cantabile’, lyrical part, and then ‘cabaletta’ - the climax of the peace. Now, there is also an unwritten fourth part, called ‘cadenza’, which is the free part left to the creativity and skill of the singer, so he/she can give their contribution. Cadenza can be inserted between 2nd and 3rd part, or sung at the very end of the aria, it can even be a part of another aria (remember that Ave Maria bit inserted in Love is like a dream). This is what Dimash does. Not to show off, but to give more of himself to his listeners. And finally - the plants! They are lovely, good for you to have taken them! Mind you, the baby and aloe need much less water, like once in 10 days, and not much base to grow in, so don’t re-pot aloe yet When you do, use the ceramic pot because it’s heavier, so it’ll provide more stability. Both like the sun too, direct sunlight will not be bad for them. The third one does need somewhat more water but don’t drown it either :D And keep it at east facing window, or in shade somewhere, does not like much of direct sunlight . Good luck and have fun growing them!

[@Ratile_]

Love your reactions to Dimash. 💕 Waiting for more... 🤗

[@MrGlad2beme]

I've missed your reactions. This was the first time Dimash brought me to tears too. ❤️❤️🎼❤️

[@ИринаКаримова-с5р]

Спасибо за чудесную реакцию на эту прекрасное выступление Димаша! Вы и сам, незаурядный, мыслящий человек, спасибо , Вам, ещё раз:)

[@isabellesurf]

👏👏👏💕💕💕 Beautiful reaction to this gorgeous song !! 💕💕💕

[@lbrounen]

So glad you are back with Dimash and with my favourite performance as well! I have watched it like a hundred times and you have pointed out things I had never seen or heard before. Kudos to you for that. From a Chinese reactor I know he did a great job on the pronunciation which is so hard, because it us a tonal language and to fit that in with the melidy is quite something. I recently discovered the origjnal Japanese song , Ikanaide , by Koji Tamaki. I will send you the link in case you might like to listen to that version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJuWkpVtmNqSaZI

[@barbarasaracini1271]

Beautiful song and performance. I just love Dimash ..... he's such a special person in so many ways. You are also very sensitive and I really enjoy your Dimash reactions. Until next time....

[@zackoneandonly]

Hello Tre, welcome back. Every time I watch and listen to this performance, I go through at least two sheets of tissue. I see you are well connected with tender human feelings. Good for you. I don't know whether you have reacted to his "Qargym-ai". If you haven't, I recommend it. It is dedicated to his principal music teacher who died a short while ago of COVID-19. Talk about emotional vocal rendition of grief ! Well, if you decide to react to this, you will understand what I means. Good luck and stay safe.

[@laurajeffs3019]

Hey Tre`..so happy you're back reacting to Dimash! Missed your intelligent and enjoyable reactions, and your sense of humour..Thank you for this brilliant and sensitive reaction to one of my favourite songs ❤️

Hi Tre.....glad you're back and glad to see you in good health. Stay safe!

[@davidbangtson3109]

For your plants, be sure to let them dry out between waterings. Succulents don't like their roots to be wet. But when you do water, give the plant a good dose and then wait for it to dry out again before watering it again.

[@lolawants2008]

There’s a Chinese reactor I think called theportraitart or something that does a long breakdown & he was blown away, like seriously he said Dimash sang this song as if he was a native speaker of the language, & stressed how hard it was to do that. I think a lot of their shocked faces in the 1st part was his command of the language as well as his face

[@splatteryou]

I watched a Chinese American do reviews for Autumn Strong and Daybreak. ThePortraitArt did these and said not only was Dimashs articulation perfect, but that he actually sang the essence of what the songs were about. You were right in saying you thought he hailed it by watching the people watching it.

[@aisharachmalia9583]

I followed him almost 4 years now,, but dimash per usual still shakes you to the core,,nice reaction,,please also kindly react to rainych she did a cover to doja cat song,,say so,,and doja cat her self gave her a huge credit,,in her instagram story reaction,,

[@user-Kiwi49]

Love your reactions Tre.

[@randyshinn1151]

Hi Tre, If you would like to understand a bit more of Dimash's motivation for the song check out the original very emotional version by Koji Tamaki. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJuWkpVtmNqSaZI From what I understand from a Japanese couple that does reactions too (Mama Clare). The Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung adapted the song (Akanaide into Cantonese, calling it Li Xiang lan, with the meaning of the song different from that of the original song by Koji Tamaki. In 1993 Jacky Cheung adapted it again to Chinese Mandarin, calling Late Autumn. The Chinese name Li Xiang lan, rendered in Japanese as Ri Koran but her Japanese name is Yoshiko Yamaguchi. It is the Late Autumn version that Dimash used to create his "version" of the song, but the original song Ikanaide is what motivated him emotionally.

[@Ginger_Cat2604]

Love your reaction and comments as always! "Something so painful may be so natural" - very thoughtful! Thank you for your continuous insight into Dimash's music!

[@evalundstrom7972]

Hi Tré! Good to see you too 😀 Long time no see. Take care and 💖 from a Swedish Dear.

ПРЕКРАСНО !!!!!!!!!!!

[@lolawants2008]

Ok so I just saw another performance of Autumn Strong he does in a red suit. Don’t know if you’d have the same reaction, at 1st I was so in love with this specific performance, the crowd. But he does something with it at points (one especially) that just literally knocks the wind out of me every time. I think most people only see this version and that one should be right next to it it is amazing. Arnau tour

[@KitaBelle23]

Where you been chil'? So glad you did this version of the song. Like Snarky Tart, have been following Diko for four years, and heard soooo many reactions of this song, and it still makes me cry.. yea I'm just a silly ol girl.

[@sking51]

Probably the best reaction to this song! You have had the most perceptive insights on emotion and class, among all the reviewers! (Love ya style😘

[@JoshKoehnapolyglot]

A great time spent with you, (your reaction, feelings are special) and an phenomenal singer / humble human being!

[@ruthmarcotulli]

Great to see you again with a well articulated Dimash reaction. This will always one of my top three favorite songs, even though the other two probably change daily 😉. Congratulations on being a plant dad, I hope it is very fulfilling for you. The only advice I have is don't over water, make sure you talk to them, and play Dimash for them 🥰. I have a whole room full of potted plants from a small cutting I took of my mother's plant, which was at least 50 years old when I cut it 40 years ago. So a living legacy almost a hundred years old. Be well♡

[@jaljal8913]

I came back to see your beautiful dimash reactions again ❤❤❤❤

[@jeannebarzydlo5654]

You're doing all right! Love from the Marshall Islands.

[@bn4826]

So glad you took a break to re-charge, but I'm happy to have you back and recording your beautiful, intelligent video reactions. You take your time to comment with knowledge and understanding. You notice things nobody else sees. You don't just praise Dimash and that's it. Of course we all agree that Dimash is fantastic and his voice is out of this world !!! By the way, love your new look, pretty stunning. And you are doing well with your 3 plant babies. Kudos to the plant "Daddy".

[@seanstevenson9891]

What a performance....Dimash was good too. Best reaction to this song I've heard. (and I've heard a lot.) On to your other Dimash reactions.

Hi Tre , you are a sweetheart.... it is always so nice to see your reactions to our Angel of Music..

[@danicacvetko5621]

I missed your reactions to Dimash and was glad to see you back. Your reactions are not superficial, but you have enough knowledge and undestanding to go deep into the lirics and other aspects of the song, the artist and other things, connected with the performance. I also appreciate that you love not only Dimash's voice and his interpretation of the song, which of course is unique, but also his human side that is of such consolation to people. I hope to see more reactions to Dimash from you. Greetings from Slovenia.

[@andrewwells3367]

I find Gloria Wu's video misleading. Yes, the original song 'Ikanaide' by Koji Tamaki was about the actress, but though the music is the same the lyrics have been re-written so that it's now about Autumn.

[@kenhamaker]

That was Yoshika

[@joymcvey8331]

Seriously, Tré...you *have* to see this performance in London of this song with the vocal gymnastics at the beginning. It's a fancam, but very close up so you can see every detail while he's singing. It's mesmerizing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6TXaYimjbGGrck

[@TreMcLeod_]

I’ll check it out!

[@kenhamaker]

This is the Chinese version of Ikanaide

[@cathrinschuhmacher331]

Dearest Tré , I would like to recommend the channel of ThePotraitArt. He has wonderfully translated the lyrics in their meaning from Mandarin into English. It will touch you a lot more.

[@juliusangawa802]

It's like with Kz Tandingan

[@kenhamaker]

Yes all that she considered herself Chinese not Japanese so being cast out was being cast out of her home. She was born in the Manchurian area of China, not Japan.

Hello La Paz Bolivia again Why didn't you react to screeming? I would have liked to see and hear your reaction. I do not want to know anything about religion so I will not see at all and from anyone that song Ave Maria hurts my being that Latin America has been identified with that silly song.
