Enna Allouette singS Japanese Enka style song!

[@tenki-no-ko]

As a fan of Enna who came across your channel from your Skyfall reaction, I really appreciate your technical comments. I don’t know much about the technicality of singing and love learning about it.

[@poldonez8081]

She has a naturally real nasal voice, so much so that she sounds completely different while talking. I also recommend one of her friends: Ike Eveland, a metal singer with a magical voice as well. Here is their duet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kImpnHeOlq9laZY Here is Ike alone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoS6m5KkrranpJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJvXpJuJlMd8jtE

[@Anikane]

About the comments, they were using baguette emotes cause they sort of look like lightsticks lol. Lightsticks are usually used by fans in the crowd of Japanese Idol concerts to cheer for the singer. But to emulate a cheering audience they just make do with a baguette haha

[@ashfloosh]

someone should suggest the karaoke stream that she dedicated to her grandmother!! mononoke hime and ethyria were especially good songs showcasing the higher end of her range. boku ga shinou to omotta no wa and sukinanosa were also great examples of her lower register and vocal agility. i think 3/4 of these songs should have lyric translations

[@ashfloosh]

here’s the link to her karaoke! kzbin.info4QptregL4YU?si=ZgYszvHuzwaJTsXw livestream timestamps and original singers: sukinanosa (hibari misora) 35:03 mononoke hime (yoshikazu mera) 41:21 boku ga shinou to omotta no wa (mika nakashima) 53:00 ethyria (enna alouette original song) 1:00:53 ethyria studio version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIS9k6F9f6aso8ksi=Vl5mZUouPhwyStsj

[@vendarca]

Enka is a fairly traditional style of Japanese music, much of which is done in this ballad style. The nasal tone is prevalent in these, you'll hear it from pretty much any Enka singer, but as other commenters have said, Enka involves a lot of flipping between head and chest voice quickly, and almost has a Theatrical or "Musical" quality in how the lyrics are expressed. I think much of it doesn't click with western audiences due to that trademark nasality, which for the most part isn't utilized in western music, but I do wish more people would be open to it. Tons of cultures use nasal tones for expression in music, and I think it would be great if more could appreciate the beauty of it. Enna's voice is incredibly well suited to the Enka genre- and clearly, many others. Thanks for the review!

[@momochora]

the nasality is a fairly common feature in the enka style i think. as well as the agility to quickly jump around when other styles might be holding a long note. i think you can see that skill being used in skyfall for example in the "yodel" you discussed

[@TheXDayDreamerx]

This is one of my absolute favourite covers by her, Enka is a genre that never fails to amaze me and Enna performed it beautifully. Your comments were very interesting and insightful, thank you so much!

[@kiryukaimemorial]

I've been a fan of everything 'Japan culture' for my entire adult life, enjoying everything musically from Koto, to Enka, to City Pop, to Jpop, to Jrock, and more. Enka is as you describe, VERY nasally and incorporates a warble in the throat while singing, much akin to yodeling. If you ever hear traditional enka in your journey, it had a big boom in the 70's and resurfaced thanks to Hollywood. The latest group I can think of that made it popular again would be Wagakki Band.

[@argo6433]

Thanks for reacting to more of Enna's karaoke songs, she's a hardworking vocalist and my favorite singer among vtubers. She has an amazing range and taste in music, I wasn't familiar with Enka until she sang those types of songs and had karaoke streams on them (her family loves the genre so its something she's grown up with if I remember right.) I hope you can analyze and listen to more of her singing! I personally love her entire Higurashi fan concert, it was one of her passion projects.

[@0bviouslybella141]

I am a singer myself and honestly love Enna’s voice and as well watching your videos reacting to it!

[@Irish_Wristwatch101]

Let's just say that vtubers seem to have an unusually high number of great singers with many of them self taught.

[@avery5160]

It would actually be really cool if you dive more into the world of vtubers, there's a lot of amazing and talented singers and such a variety as well. Ren Zotto is one that is another amazing singer from the same company as Enna, he has a lot of original songs, his debut one being 'Blue Sugar', but my favourite songs of his are 'Wanderer' and 'Casket'. If you want another Enna song to react to, one of her originals is called 'Mushroom' (originally a song she randomly sung in a game, a fan made music for it and it became an official thing) or her first song which is called 'Wish of this Songbird' all these songs are found on their channels.

[@Yui_myemi]

Unnämed also known as u-San is also a vtuber, they are independent singer and have an absolutely power vocal in my opinion! I really recommend them His covers of god-ish and his original song know as summer song is also incredibly 💙🤍 Also his new cover of CH4NGE is also very good

[@zi.a]

the song is called amagi goe by ishikawa sayuri and everytime enna sings it, i'm astounded. thank you for reviewing her singing! there's a lot of vtubers that are skilled at singing and enna is my favorite female voice in their company. it was nice hearing your technical comments and glad you enjoyed her singing despite the language barrier 💗

[@flet7355]

You should react to Enna singing “Odo”, that’s definitely one of Enna’s best live performances!

[@verlynvanessa3208]

A fan of enna's voice ❤❤❤❤

[@unattributed1641]

Personally I've been enabled of Enna's singing since she debuted.... The song from her debut is called "Wish of this Songbird" and is really worth checking out for all of the harmony vocals she does: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHWZXn2gpNutY9Esi=x8mFRRSO0swvRzqq

[@Berrycat7781]

As a fan of Enna, I am so happy you do another reaction for Enna's singing!

[@AmariGem]

I love how you react to all the goings on in the stream. It’s very interesting to hear both your technical comments and your impressions on streaming as a creative outlet and product. Thanks to the Aloupeep who recommended this. I never heard this cover before! ❤

[@ResNullium]

Another Enna vid wooohooo! Personally, seeing other people especially the pros appreciate my faves is really validating. Thanks for the vid!

[@TheJemsen]

welcome to the wonderful world of vtubing, dont think too much about it and just follow us into the rabbithole. some of the most unique and skilled live performers are waiting for you to discover them.

[@Louis_2568]

You should do a reaction to one of her official covers or original songs! These have all been karaoke covers so far and I want to see what you think of her voice when it’s properly mixed and polished

[@Vastfill]

Let's go, another Enna video! I recommend listening to her original song "Ethyria" the lyrics are completely made up meaning there isn't a language being spoken, so appreciating the song is completely different. It's a VERY beautiful song, if you don't decide to make a video on it, please listen to it offline at the least. Thanks for the Enna reacts! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIS9k6F9f6aso8ksi=bXUuQVNzcZgnLZX-

[@liz1383]

I love how the comments are full of singing vtubers recommendations I’m seeing a few familiar names which I’m happy are there Hoping to see more vtubers reactions ❤

[@cynthiayoung176]

Any time Enna opens her mouth to sing, I get butterflies. 🦋 Thanks for another great video Ken! Hope to see you react to more VTuber content in the future. Subscribed! 🎉

[@Velmakinz]

So excited to see you review more of Enna’s singing! It would be cool to hear more of your commentary after doing a deep dive into the musical style of Enka ❤

[@RandomUserX99]

it's really strange for hear reaction of Enka songs by people who's never heard Enka recommended by fans whose never heard Enka except when Enna did it... Enka is the pop music of Japan and rest of Asia during the last century; right now it's the music of the older "boomer" generation. The popular Kohaku year end singing contest still feature a lot of Enka along with pop music. As someone who has heard a lot of Enka, all I can say is that everything Enna did is exactly how an Enka should be performed, including the vibrato and the nasality. Don't conflict Enka performance with any Western pop song performance.

[@CygnusSonolumen]

Hearing you mention 'Immediacy' is a word that just opened up my views on singing I had a feeling for it but now there's a way to label it by So big thankyous for this new piece of knowledge

[@grey57]

Enna is a real power house im glad youre going down this hole i hope you continue to find these gems

[@gonosoi]

Your reaction are very interesting thanks for the video 😊, i really was unfamiliar woth enka before even listening to Enna cover and i was interested in the style of if because i feel it express a lot of emotuon just by the amount of pauses and style of singing i never heard of, so what they were commenting was a baguette 🥖🥖 basically it's a way of cheering they represent light sticks like for concerts of idols 😂

[@lalalalasmith4903]

You should check out IronMouse. She’s also a vtuber. She’s a classically trained singer. Check out her cover of “When I look at you” or really anything. She’s amazing.

[@user-lArannl2]

エナーの歌う演歌がだいすき Thanks for the reaction video🥹💜

[@umichips]

thank you for your reaction to Enna's karaoke!! She is one of my fav virtual livers and her singing voice is amazing!

[@chimatta]

KZbin recommended a great video! I'm not usually one for "react" videos, but Ken is a great commentator and definitely knows this field. I'm tempted to send some Machita Chima videos over... Maybe her opera singing.

[@nwjnslover0504]

watching your commentary on enna's singing helps me further understand and develop my own, i love enna and i love when you react to her lovely voice!

[@chisaki703]

I remember listening to this cover many times because I loved it so much (still do) her voice is so powerful and unique that's why she's the songbird of Hel- Heaven🛐

[@Renyuru]

What Hel- what is it huh?

[@norikoyokoi544]

as someone who likes enna and grew up listening to enka songs bc of my father she sounds so much like those old grandmas singing especially with the changes of her voice on certain times reminds me of a certain singer i forgot the name of

[@HK-hz5jr]

Wait more of Enna ❤ let’s go!!!

[@Rari2232.]

Of all the Japanese songs she sang/covered, Goddish is my favourite, and I think it showcase how great her singing voice is. First time I heard her sing the song is on live karaoke: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGaxlWiOqMeDjdEsi=TDQB-3Q6k2Mk-goi Fans really liked her singing the song (the original clip reached millions of views but is now deleted) She made a music video cover of the song. Here's the link for the MV version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epiZlXppipuhY8Usi=3K1GrNZqKNAnvZBg I think you will like the MV. It shows how serious vtubers, and utaite are with their song covers. I'm glad more people are able to see, hear, and appreciate Enna's singing = )

[@mariokart9406]

Enna is an amazing singer and one of the songs that really shows the top of her range is her God-ish cover! Thank you for the video!

[@absoscribblesart2020]

Now you really have to react to the vtuber Ironmouse singing! She has a chronic disease which heavily affects her body but is trained as a classical singer and oh boy, she can do some magic.

[@chaossupreme4810]

She sings so well. Until about a month ago, I had no idea some vtubers were so talented.

[@bubbles000]

YES MORE ENNAAAA

[@ntsuka4568]

“ENKA SONG” is funny. In Japanese, "ENKA" is a compound word of "EN" speech and "KA" song. It began during the Meiji period when people gave speeches to the tune of music. So, your “ENKA SONG” will be “speech song song” wwwwww

[@C4yne]

ANOTHER ENNA JAM! THANKS!

[@creatrotera]

You should def check out Enna's godish cover too! It's amazing :D

[@sunwukong3158]

Hey Ken if you were surprised by Enna singing voice vs her speaking voice then checking out Ironmouse's singing "When i look at you" will be a real interesting too.

[@GoldenPeaches]

Nasality is a staple of enka. It's essentially one of its biggest defining characteristics.

[@bubbles000]

Since vtubers are not off the table could you watch a recent cover akuma no ko cover from Lucien Lunaris It is a song I never thought a male voice would suit and he did it really well.

[@shuuyamino]

i love enna aloutte

[@IsonDaya]

An interesting thing you might not think of when it comes to Enna as an artist is also something that you pointed out at the end - vtubers get treated "as the character" when on stream, but the movement and reactions to everything using the motion capture is a type of puppetry!

[@Ukitsu2]

IIRC, because of the difference between her speaking/gremlin voice and her singing voice, the first time she sung on stream some people thought she was playing some else's recording as a joke. I remember I turned into pure confusion and amazement.

[@siekensou77]

If you enjoyed Enna, i want to recommend you another virtual singer, Isekai Joucho. She has a soothing yet strong and powerful voice that she uses and has been said by her group mates as she can be your angel or devil whenever. An example of her being an angel would be a song like Arcadia or Heart of Sirius. And a great example of devil would be a song like Pandora's Call. Heart of Sirius is a brilliantly crafted love song. See if you can pick out all the unique points

[@acediatet9]

It is live! Same with the previous, those comments on the bottom right corner are all live people!

[@obake6290]

If you want to keep going down this rabbit hole, I recommend the cover of EXEC_PHANTASMAGORIA by Maria Marionette, Enna Alouette, and Seffyna here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZeWY2l3rMtsa8U Vtubers covering a video game song, and it is excellent. I also second another commenter's recommendation of Ike Eveland.

[@DuoLingoJP_098]

Enka style of singing is more in nasality as a japanese these the more you use your nasal in your voice it gives you a capacity to go to high notes and sudden drop to low notes and twist the notes and also these is the way you express your emotion in my own perspective.I don't know literally the enka style.

[@ByRoyalCommandV]

And this is one of the many ways into the rabbit hole... One of us! 😂

[@DanaeisPumpkin]

you should hear her original song Mushroom

[@h0taruhikari]

Please react to Enna's Mushroom song!

[@gaarashomee]

Ethyria, original soundtrack, great choise kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIaqh4SnfNSNptUsi=QJsOcdFU1dmNxu2Y You can also listen to something Japanese with subtitles kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4PWf5uZfq1geJYsi=xSEBhG65nWuK9BzA This song is from a stream dedicated to her grandmother

[@Sonada.]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXnFmJKrgrh3h9Esi=Z6sp7bWe3SggjYMz Not the best example of vocals, but a funny cover

[@Miguel_Macias1]

The emotes in the chat are breadsticks 🥖 back when she didn't have membership open and no custom emotes yet! Lol Also that wasn't 100 dollars, it was 100MXN which is about 5 USD 😆 Man her voice is so beautiful, i love her so much 🥺

[@kii_tsune]

I love your reviews of ennas live singing! she has an incredible and enchanting voice. and if you would like to look at other vtubers who sing, I highly recommend the gremolin queen herself Iron mouse. She's a trained Opera singer whose speaking voice, vice her singing voice is HUGE. unfortunately due to her becoming severely ill, she had to stop pursuing music for a while /watch?v=ZFpfqk_jmDA

[@Ikxi]

7:40 that's Mexican Pesos as far as I know So not quite 100 in freedom dollars Basically those are stream donations, like when people play on the street and have a hat there for coins, that's basically the same

[@Gray888-hg4wy]

Looks like you are getting into a Vtubers rabbit hole =) There are some Vtubers who is very good at singing. One i'm really like is Ironmouse, her performance of The Ballad of Jane Doe form Ride the Cyclone is very good, worth to check out.

[@roach931]

Seconded! Honestly it's amazing hearing Ironmouse sing anything at all, I always love hearing her revert to opera singing, especially knowing what that means in terms of her battle against CVID and the life she had before it

[@seirushiel]

I just across your channel from Skyfall reaction and I didn't expect you would do reaction for this song 😮 Thanks, it's so cool to always learn vocal technicall from vocal teacher. Anyway, if you want to know more about her range, I think her God-ish cover (kzbin.info/www/bejne/epiZlXppipuhY8Usi=aXBVUNop9jtuA4cI) and another cover of an OST game by her, Maria and Seffyna (her co-liver from same agency) did pretty well go potray it!

I would love your thoughts on one of my favorite Vtubers’ original song (also in Japanese but in a very different style): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHPKdJ6PeqiUps0si=qgIhlBkNVullqkX5 . Her name is Ririsya and the song is called Close to You

Hi I need to hear your reaction to the song Ya Wafiyya by Kazem El Saher

[@XCanG]

I can say that VTubers has been blast in last years, there a lot of talents amongst them and they produce a lot of music! Not just a covers, but their originals too! There is so much going on at the moment that it wouldn't fit in one comment. Rather than that instead of long explanations, I think I would rather suggest you reacting to Enna's original song! Song called *ETHYRIA* and it have 2 versions: normal, just *ETHYRIA* kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIS9k6F9f6aso8k and *ETHYRIA // TRUE END* kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIaqh4SnfNSNptU If you gonna react on it it would be better if you listen to both in one video, so that you can compare them as well. This is also one of my favorite song from Enna, but I actually have a lot of favorites from her (about ~35 songs) Lastly if you like her singing, make sure to check other talents, because there just a lot of talented people within VTubers who have their own original songs as well as a lot of covers.

[@heavenlyfather110]

should checkout ironmouse another vtubers she is an amazing singer who probably has the most insane range of any vtuber

[@josephcordova8553]

Would you be able to check out a another vtuber called Calliope Mori i suggest End Of A Life to listen to loving your reactions

[@ItsDeefer]

Sod it, if we're throwing you down the vtuber rabbit hole, I'll toss my suggestion for Nerissa Ravencroft - Love me Love me Love me, or Godish.She has amazing talent that I think you'll enjoy

You have to react to ironmouse
