Cmon Bro Skiller vs Alem

[@kevinkaslana13]

From Hololive too, i recommand Hakos Baelz "Psycho", a really good song and i think you will like it. The song give me some "Ado" vibe (like the odo song).

[@SenseofNoneYT]

All I can say having some experience as a drummer in a band in my younger days is that this song never fails to make me air-drum. It's just so fun to play all those grooves that keep changing every other bar.

[@donovangill3138]

The a typical drumming arrangement is so good.

[@t3mas17]

Omg no way! She is one of my favorite artists. You have to check out Stellar Stellar too, it's such a crazy song!

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

This was my first song of hers. I def liked it!

[@erwinkruger9988]

​@@DrumRollTonyReactsdid you watch The First Take?

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@Nicopear oh well... LOL.. the old streams were not really any form of analysis. I didnt even stop the songs to rewind. I have no memory of her

[@Nicopear]

⁠@@DrumRollTonyReactsyeah sorry. I got too excited and woke up too early.

[@ErgoProxy12345]

​@DrumRollTonyReacts if you check out Stellar Stellar, there is the original version and the acoustic version she performed in The First Take channel which is definitely worth looking at too.

[@BlueDog15391]

16:39 As a more casual-ish listener with untrained musical ear I really appreciate how your comments guide my attention while listening, so I am actually very excited when you make long analysis/breakdowns of short songs.

[@iameverywhere254]

it really helps you to learn to appreciate and look out for things like this on other songs

[@jetman2045.]

An ALGORITHM BOOSTING COMMENT for the man in the culture of music.

[@teo8446]

Suisei's drummer and bassist always on sweaty mode on her songs ngl Edit: You should definitely react to the studio version of Stellar Stellar And the song Next Color Planet, even as someone who doesnt know music, i think the bass on that song is sexy af

[@Batmans_Pet_Goldfish]

Don't worry about Next Color Planet, that was my Patreon request this month.

[@LixienXIII]

6:56 I don't know if you know who 8bitDrummer is but he did a blind drum cover of this live on stream (I think is highlighted on KZbin somewhere) and he was so confused when it suddenly went into a drum roll. It's great. Definitely check Stellar Stellar, drums go crazy there.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I do know him. I follow him on Twitch. I'll check out his cover

[@Bobbias]

​@@DrumRollTonyReacts he's covered a lot of hololive member songs. Though I'm not a drummer, I'm under the impression he does quite a good job, considering he's often going in blind.

[@irwansigieo2362]

Yeah sudden giving a drop of drumroll in the part is kinda out of nowhere but it's fit so well n this kinda rare on music of this days or even back then in "mainstream common music in any genre" so it's fun. . N the most fun there's a lot of variety but blend so well, and yeah there's musician who doesn't like a bunch of variety as well in the 1 music bcs the vibe of music changes so fast n can't be predicted, but musician or people who love with music n hear bunch of them, n can see what's mainstream pattern of the beat n rhytm from bass drum n licks from guitar etc. . A bunch of variety is kinda good for took us surprised bcs we can't read what's music gonna flows so we get the surprised. (If they can blend so well) . But if they can't, this bunch variety will kill them for sure. . But for people and musician who love (can read n predict the music flows of the beat rhytm pattern) will not like music with a lot of stuff, bcs the indication of music who can't be predict's a messed bcs they go in anywhere (not stay in the 1 theme genre root of the pattern) . I'm the people who love a bunch of variety, rather than "strict" following the pattern. Just following the pattern it's boring. Ofc it's had a positive such as easy to memorize etc. But if u alrd hear a lot of music like that, it's boring, bcs it's alrd in anywhere mostly in major label music. so hearing bunch of variety and blend so well n can't predict the flow of music is good and feel the freshness

[@elil.3175]

Love this artist, top of the line in her agency. Can't wait for the reaction!

[@mikeqc3559]

Man I remember hearing this song for the first time. This was the song that made me fall in love with Suisei's music. I'm really glad you reacted to this. Love your videos man

[@b0unce805]

This song grooves so hard man. Band is just killer and such nice pocket even in the spots where they are going at it. Awesome analysis Tony! Would love to see more suisei on the on the channel, her ghostwriters/band are phenomenal

[@Riggs0320]

I remember when this song dropped, was blown away by her vocals, the incredible diversity in the instrumentals, and just how clean the mix is. In my opinion, the production value of this song felt like a step up from her previous work (still love her older stuff too tho), and acted as a sort of turning point, setting the new bar for her music releases that followed. In terms of other recommendations, Stellar Stellar gives off a similar vibe and is just as incredible, and wii-wii-woo (silly name I know) has some sweet bass lines you might enjoy

[@zura7069]

My favorite singer is definitely Ado (and it’d be cool to see more from her on your channel) but Suisei is a close second, I’m so happy to see her here! Suisei is part of a vtuber group called Hololive, while I think that you wouldn’t be interested by most of their activities, they have some amazing singers! I won’t list all of them because there are really a lot of great singers there lol, but I’ll leave my suggestion of checking out Tokoyami Towa, I’d recommend Anemone (a recent song coming from her), Palette (her first original song, it’s beautiful) or U.F.O. (If you go with this one, check the comments for the lyrics after you finish hearing it, you’ll probably laugh quite a bit after finding out what the song is about for such a banger) Suisei is a really bright star even among them, or maybe I should say a shining comet, basically every piece of music coming from her is a gem, my favorite one is probably Template Man, being a Hololive fan and watching them completely break the bubble and grow so much is crazy, specially on the music field

[@lazzy1208]

bro you can't even imagine how much happy I was when Suisei appeared in FIRST TAKE, I was almost crying 💀

[@zura7069]

@@lazzy1208 same dude… then she appeared A SECOND TIME, I almost fainted, it was amazing Hope we get to see more Holomem there too

[@mermaid_hina2713]

Honestly seeing Suisei on First Take was amazing and honestly.... I think she can be as big as Ado is someday, she honestly is that talented and I freaking love her voice!

[@lazzy1208]

@@mermaid_hina2713 ikr, I always believed that if she wanted she could pursue a solo career and do well too

[@quacc9470]

Anemone is 🔥 Yuyoyuppe with Towa was something I needed to hear

[@YakoffShmirnoff]

If there's one thing that defines Suisei's music, it's unique drum beats and lots of change ups in rhythm and time signature. Always keeps her songs feeling fresh every time you listen.

[@iamelvio]

Finally, I been waiting for this

[@renoslash1890]

This is Suisei's standard. Musical as heck and great grooves. She works with some of the best in Japan to ensure her songs are as well written/performed as they can for the genre. She's a class act in the vtuber music space.

[@kiiturii]

v-tuber stuff has always been hit or miss for me, but this genuinely bangs, her voice is great too

[@Shrimp4Gura]

If you want more of just her voice without backing vocals or audio mixing, i gotchu kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3LWg6ekl6mmY5Isi=irBYSxbpZdMGo_3h

[@silver7215]

Same, idol-type music has never been my thing, but I as I got into vtubers and the company-types like hololive where they’re “meant to be idol-like” (but are usually just a bunch of jokesters) in general, I was surprised that there was quite a bit of range on the music they perform Edit: some clarification

[@kohenm]

six feet under by Mori Calliope has some great arrangements

[@user-st2hg1yf7n]

her songs are all AMAZING! I really like her other song "Soirée" and stellar stellar as well

[@stevemanart]

Hoshimachi Suisei is oft cited as one of the best best music artists in all of vtubing, and its a hard statement to argue against. Yet, I still think she is grossly underrated. Her range is beautiful, and her original songs have powerful meaning behind them. If you have the time I truly do recommend looking into her other stuff, including both of her appearances on The First Take.

[@nitsuji6705]

Suisei’s drummers man, her songs really put them to work. Stellar Stellar for one also goes ham with it. I’m not a drummer or musician but definitely a big appreciator (lmao I’m stunted and never really got into it despite being passionate about it; college did a number on me). I relate to your ear on drums and bass because that’s also where my ears gravitate to (the beat basically) and Sui-chan’s songs are always on point with it!

[@scuffedgravyboat]

This is one of my favorite songs from her, this definitely made me have a new appreciation for it. There’s was always *something* about this song that felt a little different from other vtuber/hololive songs and made it stand out, and I think you nailed it perfectly.

[@nightstalker9792]

HELL YEAH ! Suisei reaction? Let's gooooooo! Respect! You will not be disappointed by her other works, I can guarantee that. Just wait till you hear stellar stellar... Also be careful of the rabbit hole, it goes only one way...

[@OOZ662]

It's fun seeing a band-side interpretation of this song. Suisei is the headliner and us fans come for her voice, so many of the reactions made to her music (at least the ones that contain knowledge and substance and aren't just bros on the couch going WHOAAAA) focus down completely on her vocal movements and techniques. Don't apologize for pausing; the learning is what we are (or at least, I am) here for. Keeping my eyes open for Stellar Stellar, her key piece, and if you're looking for another talent in the same agency that also has a beast of a band behind her (and yet another bassist that should be illegal, or maybe it's the same guy, I dunno) I would point you toward Tokoyami Towa's "AKUMA" and "My Roar." EDIT: I should add that "AKUMA" unfortunately has a really bad oscillating whine through it, perhaps a snare ringing. Drives me a little nuts, might drive you insane, or it might be a teaching moment.

[@weldy00]

I love this song for so many reasons, Suisei's story as an artist is so special and this is a really early song for her. Not only that, but it was written by an artist that would go on to be the bass palyer and writer for one of my favorite bands Sajou no Hana (and wrote and performed the JJK op Ao no Sumika). It genuinely makes me so happy that you liked this song as much as you did, hopefully your intro to vtubers was worthwhile! I'd love to see you do ANEMONE by Tokoyami Towa, what tier on patreon gets a guaranteed react?

[@LetholdusKaspyr]

Suisei's music is incredible, but there's a video out there explaining how much blood, sweat, tears, and perseverence she put in to have a career at all. You should check that out. This woman is a sensation, and she earned every last bit and more.

[@Bumi808]

Wasn't sure if we'd ever see suisei on this channel but what welcome surprise. Suisei has some really good music I definitely recommend watching her other stuff.

[@Aureolelegends]

One of my favorite singers ever! You should listen to her cover of King, and her single Stellar Stellar, both the studio version (which has Wnglish lyrics), and her performance on First Take.

[@naraicat]

couldn't have picked a better introduction to enter the rabbit hole

[@KrailCarden]

As a massive fan of Vtubers, and a personal fan of Suisei's, and even further as a lover of drumming and percussion, I fully appreciate your thoughts on this song. Don't worry about the pauses to analyze and absorb certain segments. I can't speak for everyone, but I appreciate your input, for what that's worth. I think a lot of the feeling of not wanting to pause comes from that desire to catch your raw, unedited reaction to the song all in one shot, as some of the pacing for both you and the viewer is lost on pauses. I'm sure you're well aware that people are very dedicated to their favorite songs, and they want to see you get dive in and get swept away by the song full on that first listen. If I could make one suggestion as an Idea I don't think I've seen anyone try yet, is to record your reaction to the song in its entirety first, then record your analysis and breakdown after. Then when editing the video, show the opposite with the analysis first and the raw reaction after. This might help save retention while still offering the viewer that raw reaction moment. There may be reason's I'm not considering on why this isn't done. I'd like to know what people think about this in particular if anyone wants to leave a reply.

[@Gabls]

Seeing Stellar Stellar(also by Suisei) would be so hype!

[@aressenpai5421]

Ain't no way I'm about to see this bro!!

[@RoyFarrite]

Dang, it seems like you're reacting to all of my favorite songs and artists! Found you through your Kyoumen no Nami reaction, and just watched your reaction to The Cabs, and now this? I love hearing a more knowledgeable musician articulate why these songs are incredible. Thanks for the videos, man!

[@yrosan]

This song encompasses everything I love about Japanese music. In the kind of successful music we have in the west, it feels to me that bass and drums are often relegated to "rythm machines", while the vocals and guitar take predominance over the course of a piece. I'm not a musician so I'm not sure if I'm spouting nonsense, but in this song for example, each instrument gets one shot at being at the forefront of the song in the mix, especially in the chorus where the drums are insane and then get subdued to let the synth shine. Oh and get ready, the VTuber fandom will probably find you now, and we stick like leeches when people react to VTuber content lol.

[@Grey4953]

Listening to this again and man I would love to see more Suisei in the near future

[@HowardAltEisen]

What a great patreon request! Glad to see you covering more out there music on your channel, wonder if more vtuber songs will get recommended soon!

[@Keledai_tampan]

Woahhh, finally Suisei's song. I suggest you to check out Suisei's Stellar Stellar too, it's crazy

[@kagephenex]

Inb4 Tony falls into the rabbit hole

[@timewizardphil]

This was really cool. When I listen to this song it’s so much about Suisei, her voice and the lyrics she wrote (which if you look them up are very personal to her and her story). I’ve always been aware that I like listening to the music too, but still I really appreciate a breakdown like this kinda highlighting all the moving pieces in the arrangement that I don’t actively think about as much. Would love to see reactions to more Suisei (I really like a somewhat less recommended song of hers called Kakero, which has a great drum line). Also would love to see other Hololive talents gets this treatment. Maybe something like Mori Calliope’s recent track Six Feet Under.

[@plazzz]

Man I've been hoping for so long that you'd do a reaction to this song, I love this song so much

[@nevmiku]

[@froilanm_]

My oshi❤ nice seeing her in the channel lol. Highly recommending "Stellar Stellar" Studio ver.

[@Leonlion0305]

I really love Suisei and one reason is the drum parts 9/10 is absolutely amazing. This song probably is a lot of drummer's dream with how many fills going around in this song, but also mixed with a lot of interesting grooves that isn't the simple snares on 2/4, always a little off or a little more than that. Another really good one is Stellar Stellar. This is the song that brought her to being the first ever VTuber to be on "The First Take". Even though "The First Take" version is nice to hear how good Suisei is as a singer, the original version has even more fun stuff on drums, practically the whole song.

[@zaichik4329]

So good

[@craigfenson]

a little fun tokyo garden theatre fact: january 2023 was bookended by two sold-out concerts -- band-maid and suisei.

[@sauciine]

appreciate the suisei love

[@Kristhanos]

Suisei is IMO the most cracked VTuber Musician I've ever encountered. She's so great of a musician, she is the first VTuber featured in THE FIRST TAKE, a Japanese KZbin channel that invited numerous Top Japanese Singer/Band to record 2 videos of their songs in only one take each. Usually one videos of their most popular song and the other one is their latest single release to promote their album. Beside the music composistion, I fell in love with this song because of how personal the lyrics of "GHOST" to Suisei. The lyrics portray all the struggles she felt during her career as a VTuber. The emotion was very well delivered and I love it!! If you want to find out more about Hololive's artist, I suggest to look up on Mori Calliope (Hololive English: Myth [1st Gen]), Moona Hoshinova (Hololive Indonesia: Area 15 1st Gen), AZKi (Hololive Japan 0th Gen, Suisei's Genmate), and of course the OG: Tokino Sora (Hololive Japan 0th Gen, The 1st talent member of Hololive)

[@nakedpotato9894]

I just realised that Suisei probably wrote the song Ghost, when she was actually the ghost of hololive, (where she was in near neglect, because the resource was pooled to Azki)

[@thewizardninja]

Eh, she wrote it much later than that. It's more to do with her struggling with being taken seriously as a music artist while also being a vtuber, because she chooses to represent herself with a virtual avatar she's hidden away in her little corner of internet away from the eyes of people that may actually like her music. This is why Stellar Stellar was such an amazing follow-up, because it was her declaration that she was going to shine so god damn bright that she couldn't POSSIBLY be ignored - she's not going to be like a ghost drifting on the outskirts of the mainstream, she's going to make Hoshimachi Suisei a household name, because she IS a star.

[@WaifuTrashWeeb]
