[@jordanatherton3672]

Direct title translation: love me, love me, love me. Though to keep the meaning and syllables consistent in English would be: I want your love, I want your love, I want your love.

[@marakevans3984]

May want to look into the "Japanese Underground Rock" scene. Saw that a lot of vocalists may have come from these, literally, underground performances.

[@Olkam-w5u]

@@marakevans3984 I’ll immediately name "Maximum the Hormone", their ideas shaped what we see in Ado, Hanabi and many others

[@TsarShaw]

THAT TIP HELPED SO MUCH TYSM

[@michaelwestetfield8204]

And to think she is only 21. Yet to have such amazing talent

[@Khann_2102]

Damn and here I am 22 and being mocked by my family for having no stable job haha 😢(only as an artist, and struggling)

[@lilili765]

​@@Khann_2102Don't let them talk you down, just keep going and you'll succeed. Have a nice day

[@DarkblooM_IO]

I always have a hard time believing she's 3 months younger than me

[@rurikaruri]

She must've started off young! Because for me, I started to sing when I was 4-5 I think? (Just light songs nothing crazy) And now I'm 14, made a LOT of improvement:)

[@rurikaruri]

​​@@Khann_2102please dont let others' comments make you back up, you're gonna reach the top and do not stop! 💪

[@lllucasm]

a lot of Japanese people wanted her to release this cover since the time she sang it at a karaoke livestream

[@Ravioli638]

When does she stream?

[@jinhiro3]

The name of the Japanese group is Number_i. Please listen to their debut song Goat, and their KZbin music video has been listened to 30 million times in less than a month. THANK YOU❤️

[@davidtollefson8411]

She is intense and subtle, child-like and warm, but at times almost sounding like an unhinged demon.

[@HectorCorium]

Witch is ironic since she's basically a vocal godess. 👍

[@No_onespecial]

Kikuo + ado = the combo we didn’t know we needed

[@4ytherium]

Reminds me of Kikuohana (Hanatan + Kikuo) Both are amazing vocalists.

[@margrette5386]

[@Olkam-w5u]

1. People created Vocaloid to mimic human voice. 2. People trained Vocaloid to sing in a ways impossible for human artists. 3. People started covering Vocaloid and learned how to sing in a ways previously impossible for human artists.

[@tenyearsinthejoint1]

That alone is AMAZING to me. I'm so glad Ado gets the recognition she deserves for her amazing voice

[@raccoonchild]

Can confirm, I learned so much about what I was able to do with my voice just singing along to VOCALOID songs a lot. The most fun I've ever had singing, I owe to this community.

[@AnIntrovertedArtist]

@@raccoonchild LITERALLY!!

[@originalyrandom6471]

bcs PPL ARE AMAZING!!!!

[@ChiiVocaloid]

True, but I think it's more about giving composers a platform untethered to what will sell. That platform is also open to any genre anf is constantly being searched through~ Kikuo's songs have gotten me through a lot but I never would have found them if not for searching for new vocaloid songs

[@r3.4ct]

Ado's shifts and transitions Like Crime and Punishment where you feel like you're in a very rough, tight compact room and next thing you know.. you're in an wide empty cold room. Or you're running under a summer heat and a cold breeze suddenly hits you in the face..

[@Ai_yara]

Yes

[@magicalmiraii]

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT LOVER ALSO? ITS SO HARD TO MAKE PROPLE KNOW WHAT YOURE SINGING ABOUT DESPITE THE LYRICS (JUST TONE) BUT SHE DOES IT OERFECT IN CRIME IN PUNISHMENT

[@Nobody00008]

​@@magicalmiraii js bought the book gonna read it soon😜 so great to see the Crime and Punishment lovers!

[@cryzals2953]

A lot of people currently are on a hate train because of how she does things recently, people go oh its just screaming, there's nothing special about it, she just screams, but to get to that point you have to be extremely persistent and continuously learn, mind you ado is only 21 years old as well

[@stefanknauer7180]

This song is just something else... The way she sounds rather "crazy" in the beginning but it turns more and more into something that sounds like vulnerability or even pain, especially towards the end in one of the last screams... Absolutely wild...

[@neppnepp]

6:03 Something really cool I noticed about this part is that the lyrics say "Kurushii" in Japanese which roughly translates to "I can't breathe" and the fact that she sang this part so tensely is really freaking cool

[@HoshiHikari]

In Japanese it describes suffering which is truly how that feels when she sings it

[@Shiori9]

Hearing Aishite live was one of the most amazing things i ever experienced. I hope you get to hear it live in person yourself someday.

[@farhaanahmed7440]

I am jealous of you lol

[@angrygingadude5594]

The fact that we dont have to understand a thing she says too know what she is doing is amazing speaks volumes and makes you understand why she is so popular and still growing. She is only 21 we are witnessing the beginning.

[@just_violet]

I like to call her the "closet princess". She started her career by singing in her closet, and she admitted that she always wanted to be a princess. She is really the goat of music

[@rainnyy]

I was privileged enough to be able to go to her concert in Bangkok, was able to listen to this song live! She has a gorgeous voice, my friend and I were incredibly ecstatic when this song came on!

[@milkyiewai]

Being an ado fan, hearing someone really praising her and being hyped up because of her makes me really happy ❤❤

[@Leonlion0305]

Breaking down Ado's cover for this one really let me take in the emotion for each technique she use. This song title is "Love me, Love me, Love me" and is essentially about the insatiable desire of wanting more love and the person this song is directing to "isn't enough". So it really gave a mentally unstable vibe, which is what I get from Ado's choice of using very contrasting techniques from one part to the next. Ado is really good at putting emotions on lyrics imo. So even without understanding the lyrics, we can still get the vibe of the song.

[@YourlocalweirdfriendLia]

1. I like your rating 2. Some of your reactions make me suprised and burst out laughing 3. Good video and song

[@bladegaimin]

I saw Ado sing this live and there's actually not enough superlatives on how insane her vocals are. The scary part to me is how she nails every note live just as well as she does in her recordings lol. I'm glad that her talent is being more recognized, I feel like what she does with her voice will have quite a large impact on how people approach creating music. Thanks for the vid Chris that was cool to see your analysis you broke it down in such a way thats so easy to understand.

[@Whatisgoingonnnnn]

That last scream was stunning!

[@Marcondirondirondello]

She's amazing, she gives me this "freedom" vibe, and that's what I love about her, can't wait to see her live finally in a month 🤩

[@m.an.s.m]

I'm a simple person. I see Ado in thumbnail, I click.

[@ductilesorcer392]

I think that when people go over songs in languages they are unfamiliar with they should look at the lyrics in their language, because for aishite aishite aishite, the way ado sings these lyrics are because of the meaning behind what is being sung, like when she’s having louder tones it’s to pack a heavier punch in the lyrics, and I think knowing the lyrics plays a big part in talking about her singing voice.

[@AnungooMunkh]

5:40 bro looks like hes discovering music for the first time

[@Nahida69]

I saw her live in Düsseldorf 5 days ago singing this song as well! It is even more amazing live! She is crazy talented, I love her voice

[@414southpaw]

Just saw her concert in LA. This was one of my favorite songs of her set. Not just the beautiful singing but the combination of the lighting effects and the background display really matched perfectly. With Ussewa, Tot Musica, and Rebellion hitting so wonderfully hard, Aishite was just a different feel. VERY VERY excellent live performance.

[@ヤーマン-o8n]

日本から見させてもらってます👍

[@hannahb4100]

Really like your Ado reactions and I think you practicing how to get your voice to sound like hers in these clips is really fun and inciteful! You are really good at breaking down how to achieve similar sounds

[@caoshuan748]

Her performance of Aiishite and love and punishment reminds me of Sheena Ringo's crazy high pitch distortion.

Bro their voice is literally SO cool. Immediately started ascending while listening to it.

[@elena3362]

im just so blown away since i never really listened to Ado in this way, i just enjoyed her music and kept listening to it until this video, i had goosebumps go over my body the WHOLE time while listening to this and i sure will listen to her songs and covers with way more attention then i ever did before, glad i watched this video!

[@ねるさん-c1k]

I would also appreciate a Vocal Analysis on the AiNA THE END ”Red:birthmark”. She is another Japanese singer who sings anime songs and has quite a unique voice.

[@joeLULW]

an incredible artist as well!

[@stefanknauer7180]

Yeah, she is amazing and especially that song. I think there was a live version of it which is even better than the studio one

[@NO_333]

Absolutely dont get how singers have that raspy undertone. Especially the screams in this song and also the "Please stay" in Beautiful Things

[@Bungo_Rabbit]

I really love your reactions and analysis bro!!

[@Olkam-w5u]

From more than 12 reviews of Ado's songs, I can say that Chris is the only one who explains everything clearly and in detail, and even repeats it. Anyone learning to sing, go to Chris.

[@angeldavidpinango4914]

I believe that the changes in Ado's tone of voice are a thousand times better when you read the lyrics of his songs and realize that each way of singing is in accordance with what he is saying..

[@catalystguitarguy]

I love it when musicians and vocalists find wild creative music like this. When it goes from “huh?” To “how” to “this is nuts!” And lands on “I need more” Especially when you know what she’s doing and just get to sit back in awe and enjoy it.

[@happy-gq2kw]

4:40 Yes there are at least 2 types of people, some will say they can never be that good and give up, others may be inspired by such a high level. Personally, I'm the second type, I'm comfortable when there is someone so high that I don't have to look for someone else, that's the living motivation, one of the highest levels a person could achieve. I am personally motivated and inspired by such a person. Thank you for analyzing

[@NicoNicoNessieSub]

If you want to see full range for ado, check out her cover of god-ish, (assuming you havent already seen it) because she changes singing style soooo many times in it

[@chrisliepe]

I’ve done a video on it! It’s in the playlist linked at the end of this video. I hope you can watch it :)

[@vv_choco_vv203]

Ado's "tokyo cannibalism " is also vocally AWESOME (also, "RAMSEN" is really good)

[@Xeno7241]

13:06 Her inconsistencies and vulnerabilities are her charm in my opinion, it sounds so raw and real.

[@user-op2bg1yi3b]

Ado’s the goat

[@ronnieperkins6760]

YES! He's done it! Been waiting for this video for a long time!!!

[@Awidferd]

Thanks for providing such great insight on how she sings, my mom is a vocal instructor as well and she could not figure out how Ado is able to do this casually at her concerts! When I was younger, I taught myself how to switch between head voice, chest voice, and mix, but the most I could get out of my 12-year-old voice was a mix. Now (much later) I realize that where my scream is best (so it doesn't hurt) is at a *very loud* mix. I had to do several sing/metal esque/screams in a music/show/play/thingy (very difficult to explain, it wasn't really a musical), and one of my songs had several Ado-like screams in it. It was really fun but after a few hours of rehearsal it was hard to talk.

[@m..na.]

ADOMINATION!

[@Ravioli638]

World Adomination yeahh baby!

[@fabwolves6461]

I just subbed! Love it when people who react know what they're talking about :) i bet you'd be impressed with Annapantsu's covers, she nails the build up and high notes

[@evevzu]

Amazing voice analysis! I suggest looking into Miyashita Yuu as well, specifically Wozwald.

[@ordi8725]

I've struggled with performing harsh vocals and your single comment "finding that vulnerablity between head voice and chest voice and exploiting that" made it all click for me. I finally managed to do harsh growls without damaging my voice. Thanks Chris

[@skittlemuffin]

Omg I was waiting for this!!!

[@Shyieko]

That "ne?" at 9:45 isn't just an exhale, "ne" means "right?" or "isn't it?", she's talking about the this "perfect" ideology (I don't recall the translation exactly), like, "isn't this perfect? right?" and then completly changes tones to contrast and deny it. It's so "hidden" yet is so delicious to hear... I Ado I cry listening to your masterpieces :')

[@m1raclw08]

I'm no vocalist or singing expert at all, I'm just a big fan of Ado and good singing, and I love seeing analyses of Ado's singing. With little singing knowledge, I enjoyed Ado a lot, but I get a new appreciation for her every time I see your explanations of the technicalities of what she does

[@yomieq1630]

I love this song myself cause not only is Ado's singing amazing, but she's using it to tell a story, and if you know the lyrics, the story is really heartbreaking. That's what I love about artists like this, telling stories with not only your words, but also your voice

[@dustyr112]

Absolutely fascinating listening to you break down such a remarkable voice as Ado's. Subscribed. 👏👏👏

[@elkapi7764]

My god this guy actually did a full and understandable explanation of Ado’s psycho voice. How did he understand all those weird things she was doing?😂 Ado also scares me with how she was able to sing a song designed for a voice synthesizer💀

[@amyrark]

Hi Chris, I enjoyed listening to your reaction of this song. I always loved Ado's vocal range and this cover just made me sink deeper in the rabbit hole. I just wanted to appreciate how you pointed out all the parts I loved on her song. I tried getting my friends to appreciate this song as much as I did, but was not successful. Your passion on music and knowledge tones drasticaly increased my interest on voices itself. I look forward on watching more of your content. Thank you.

[@ShmellowChan]

Can you please do an analysis on miyashita yuu too? His vocals are insane!! Wozwald and grain are amazing!

[@romzen]

Hey Chris, I am not a vocalist. More of a electric guitarist and I only take an occasional shot at mimicking some of these interesting japanese songs with my acoustic or the piano. But as little as I may understand about vocals I still think you are doing one of the best jobs at analyzing these pieces. Have watched a number of reaction videos on the same Ado songs as you did react to and noone points out as many of these interesting intricacies and techniques. Love it. Keep it up!

[@muhdhadi5550]

This is in the studio, during live she'll scream whenever she want😂,proud ado fan❤️

[@MrBattlekiwi]

It's actually really cool that you noted that Ado's screams near the end were almost like old rock singers because while Ado started out as a vocaloid cover artist, she said she first found her love of music with bands like KISS and Queen! I know this is a pretty late comment, but just a fun fact for a fellow Ado enjoyer!

[@Olkam-w5u]

I can live even more, with a vocal range even more similar to Freddie Mercury

[@fairytonic]

This is the first video of yours that I stumbled across and I must say, your analyses are so good and entertaining to watch! You definitely gained a new subscriber. As a huge fan of Kikuo, the original creator of this song, I'd suggest you look into KikuoHana, a musical project with both him and an AMAZING vocalist called Hanatan. Her voice is so powerful and she has an insane range. She manages to switch up to different voices with such ease. I would definitely recommend Desert Theater, Climb Advance to the High Tower and Hitogawari from the duo. Thanks for the great video:)

[@raccoonchild]

I love that the community is so diverse my two favorite covers of this song are Kusuri Maibyou's super soft yet subtly deranged one and Ado's one-woman stage play.

[@megarockfreak]

I've seen them all. Great ado videos! And your tip to sing from chest to head and not be afraid for cracks or jodles helped me with my higher belts and mixed voice. Never thought I could learn so much after almost? 15 years of singingin my academie. I think I learnt more from you then someone else.

[@cocobear9955]

I love videos like this. the way you not only listen to the song giving your reaction, but also walking us the viewer through it as well. I always feel more educated watching these but just as entertained as if it were any other video. Your passion and love for her music and talent really shows and can be felt. I don't normally comment on videos but I thought you were fun to listen to with and should know :)

[@crecelia3181]

hi, I'm French and I don't undersrand all you say in your analysis, but I don't care I love that, I like you and I'm crazy of Ado so it makes a good mix and I can train my English. Thanks you 🙃

[@iimvchax]

it feels like she has so emotion with her voice as a whole, amazing control. I wish to be an artist like her she has incredible skill. Her voice makes me tear up i feel the emotions in my heart.

[@MikaHamtaroLover]

i think you should take a listen to mafumafu's cover of "the disease called love" by neru ! the highlight is around 3:30 of his cover, where he just screams with his entire body 😭😭 considering that the part hes screaming in does Not exist in the original version

[@Honzy87]

i feel like the "ne" at 9:55 is a breathy exhale as a part of or addition to the sentence before, not an inhale

[@holdeenyo8914]

you should do Fleeting lullabye. She really plays around with different characters and it's probably my second favorite song of hers besides this one!

[@zuboracko]

"Aishite" = "Love (me)" This song's written from the perspective of a woman who's going mad/psychotic because of her twisted love and need for affection. The way she sounds literally crazy in this performance might surprise you at first, but it's all intentional to convey this feeling of madness. Another example of songs that you appreciate more if you know what the lyrics are about.

[@mikapiika]

I thought it was about a child wanting attention from their parents?

[@acevanitas1143]
