I'd love for you to get ahold of a few Prince tunes and break down the recordings & techniques.

[@auxtaku3449]

Can you do a reaction and breakdown of the Japanese rock band coldrain and there song MAYDAY

[@Emangelilian]

There is this italian band called "Deathless Legacy"... it seems to me that the singer got a peculiar way of singing... I suggest the song "Moonless Night" (more on the melodic side) or "ritual of black magic" (more "rock" and maybe more interesting to analyze)... but if you want to make a first time reaction to one of those, try to listen some other song by her\this band... just too see if "her way of singing" could be interesting to analyze ! Thank you for those analysys videos Chris Liepe, very entertaining and with good tips\lessons !

[@Magdalena-rh4mu]

My go to karaoke song! Finally listened ado live singing it on her concert last week 😍

[@Fiftycentis]

I'd love to see a reaction to Amane Kanata cover of Mephisto. Or her Unravel cover, to use a song you already know. She keeps a note for insanely long in both with a pitch change, and i'm really curious to see the thoughts about that of someone expert in singing.

[@Olkam-w5u]

Ado said in an interview: "Look at the lyrics and sing pretty when the content is pretty, and sing like you're afraid when you're scared. I continued to sing in that way, and that's how I ended up with the style I have now".

[@Ryroe]

She's a visionary of the art form

[@nabilonso]

She is a literal voice actor

[@Ryroe]

@@nabilonso She is not. She's a singer. Uta was voice acted by another person.

[@nabilonso]

@@Ryroe I know. The way Ado can inflect her voice in so many ways so flawlessly would make her the perfect voice actor. The emotions in her singing know no language barriers. That's the one quality I absolutely fucking love about Ado.

[@Ryroe]

@@nabilonso Completely agreed

[@Olkam-w5u]

The composer of this song is Hiroyuki Sawano, who composed the music for Attack on Titan. The song's chorus (gah zan tak gah zan tat tat brak) has no translation, it's not Japanese, it's a literal pronunciation of ancient German runes, futhark, spell

[@TalesStahl]

i am also 90% sure that the Tot is from the german word Tod (Death) that is written Tot in some contexts

[@SoramimiKeiki]

@@TalesStahl The word "tot" means as much as "dead" as in "being dead".

[@711jastin]

i was lucky enough to get a spot in her recent world tour, at the FIRST row, right in front of the stage. her lungs are so strong you can hear her actual voice over the loud speakers.

[@christinavernon2277]

I would love to go to a live concert of her’s someday!

[@alxD-ayy]

Lucky 😭😭😭😭

[@Little_Freaky]

Her singing sounds realy like a person going insane. She did such a good job, comunicating the troubles the character going through

[@RyuHardGore]

She really makes you feel the madness, the desperation and any feeling she wants to convey.

[@voidlaser02]

Last weekend I went to see Ado live in Düsseldorf, Germany for her world tour. She was even better live than I could've ever dreamed off. Especially Tot Musica was amazing. The opening notes of the song send me shivers through my entire body during the concert. It was the first time that I ever felt something like that, it was so unreal to experience.

[@Kitkat1.3.]

Why didnt I know that she Was live so damn near my own City 😭😭😭😭😭

[@DrOctavius99]

By far one of my favorite songs and sold me as a fan of Ado when this song came out. The fact she was brought in to sing for the One Piece Red movie was an amazing experience

[@loveyourwaifu1035]

honestly, ado is one of those people where they're just so amazing at melding classical singing and scream. it's so amazing and fluid, even for those who have only a basic understanding of singing can immediately recognize her skill

[@MaeFaeCh]

I’m always happy when I see you do another vocal analysis of Ado. 🥰 Fleeting Lullaby surprised me the most with how quick she changes her voice! I think she had a lot of fun with that one and plays a lot more with the characters you talk about.

[@ZxroFromAsia]

Amane Kanata's Live Unravel Cover Performance is also really impressive! Especially considering she's deaf in one ear.

[@Quinmael]

Hell yeah! her vocal chords and lungs are something else!

[@Poyopuff1]

When I was driving at night a while ago, my eye contacts were getting really dry. I put on Ado's music and I have tears within 30 seconds. I don't know what it is about her singing, it's not that I'm sad, but her singing is so unbelievable that it makes me cry. Definitely my favorite artist

[@mitrikgaduk347]

It's also to be noted that rolling R's isn't something that happens in Japanese, actually it's not just incredibly rare, it's an anomaly. When I first heard Ado roll her R's, I was dumbstruck. I'm a Latino so rolling R's is something I've been doing since childhood, she rolls her R's insanely naturally. Anyone who speaks a language like Spanish or other that use this will take note immediately.

[@Jeebeo7]

It's not that rare in japanese, it's just situational, it's called "makijita" and it's a speech pattern a stereotypical "delinquet" or "thug?" would have, but it's not that uncommon for someone angry to roll their R's or rowdy kids might say something like "ORRRAA".

[@mitrikgaduk347]

​@@Jeebeo7 Yeah, I've heard in those connotations, but never to the degree that Ado does it, there's a certain "force" and "ruh ruh ruh" (like the tongue slapping around if you know the sound, like mimicing a helicopter blade, it's almost "puffy") sound that she makes, that I feel is very faint in many of those cases I've heard. I've heard LiSA do it in the documentary when she's practicing, but the "popping" or "puff" noise is a lot less pronounced than when Ado does it. It's also the way she incorporates it that I solemnly hear in Japanese music. I've heard a range large quantity of musical styles from Japan, some of the biggest names around, and Ado is the only I've heard to get the "roll" "rolling" if you understand. (Like, there's the "airy" roll, there's the "pitch bend roll", and the "fast roll" where the distinction between the rolls is very little, which is commonly when you hear with the "ORRRA", it's usually a very quick roll with very little "staccato".) A perfect example is in "Show", the "rrra-ta-ta-ta-taaa", the initial "rrra" roll, you can hear the staccato of it, there's a delay between each roll, but there's enough force that each hit pops. An example of the "ORRRA" style roll is at 0:58-0:59 of the song, it's more faster, less "pops". This is the more common one you hear.

[@DyonisX]

Never listened to Reol?

[@mitrikgaduk347]

@@DyonisX Indeed! I've heard her roll her "r's" a fair number of times, but due to issues with storage capacities, I haven't been able to have my entire music library in a consistent place, otherwise I'd likely still have her entire discography. "404 Not Found" is one of my favorite tracks from her, she's one of the most overlooked artists when it comes to reactions.

[@itslll7245]

I can’t roll my R’s ✋😔

[@Olkam-w5u]

An interesting thing, Chris will also be interested, they told me that they tried to make covers of Ado’s songs using AI. But it didn’t work, it doesn’t sound. We are entering the era of artificial intelligence, and if a singer does not want to be surpassed by AI, he needs to master many extreme techniques, introduce emotions, dynamics and tonality. Ado's style was also developed in overcoming vocal synthesizers. We need to free ourselves from traditional patterns.

[@reed3274]

8:40 as someone, who will defend this single note with his LIFE....THANK YOU. The absolute joy I felt from your guttural AUGHHHHHH. Thank you, holy shit this made the entire video 3 times better.

[@tendoubear]

I really enjoy your reaction/vocal analysis of Ado it really makes me appreciate her more! I also can't wait for your reaction to Value its quickly become one my favorite Ado songs.

[@Hsxzn_]

Yeah!! When value is released it automatically become my favorite ado song😆🫶🏻

素晴らしい解説、すごく面白いし勉強になります。ありがとうございます

[@adlib2560]

ado never fails to impress 😭 my queen

[@andrefiliks]

Honestly, if you react to all of One Piece Film Red songs it would be amazing. To this day many of my favourite Ado songs come from this movie, especially fleeting lullaby, new genesis and backlight. Listening to them in order is also a great experience because we can hear the progression of the character's emotional state through the songs, be it happiness, sadness, anger, madness, optimism and many more

[@TwilightWolf2508]

7:35 This is the best I've ever heard anyone explain this. I've heard so many people talk about using that specific placement, but they always just explain it as engaging your false folds without ever mentioned HOW to engage them. I don't think I'm capable of doing it now, I got sick a few years ago with a bad cough and choke anytime I try and do the slightest distortion now, but it's nice to finally know how anyway.

[@Gabeeys]

THIS GUY IS LITERALLY WHAT I’M SAYING. THE FACT THAT ADO SINGS SO FREELY IS WHAT I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO BUT BECAUSE OF NEIGHBORLY CIRCUMSTANCES I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO. BUT NOW THAT I’M TRYING TO USE HER TECHNIQUE (In my tight closet locked up in my room), IT FEELS SO GOOD TO.

[@kpbmsv]

Time for her new song Value. It's a totally different vibe and in a good way. You'd most definitely love it. As for Tot Musica, it's definitely one of my favourite Ado songs. It's a deadly combo to begin with. The composer is well known for several of his works in the anime industry and literally all of the projects he contributed to are known to have amazing musical performances. Especially so with this "epic" and even sinister vibe this song also had. Add Ado to the equation and you just know it's gonna turn out amazing without fail.

[@shiraishiberry]

I would next recommend Fleeting Lullaby, Backlight, or Rabuka! All amazing songs where Ado uses many different cool techniques.

[@elindayana8174]

ADO IS AMAZING! Her voice is miraculous! I love Ado so much. What a FANTASTIC singer! 😍🔥💕

[@romzen]

I do understand that vocalists really need to develope confidence more than any other musician. After all their instrument is literally their own body. As an electric guitarist I can somewhat relate. Many sounds can be perceived as goofy, stupid, ugly, dirty and completely useless when out of context and not placed into a harmony. Even some of the best guitar tones created by some of the greatest guitar heroes can sound unpleasant in isolation. But once you actually experiment with them on a backing track all the dirt gets lost and the beauty of electric guitar starts to manifest. Whenever Chris tries to copy some of Ado's techniques for the purpose of demonstration it may come off as funny but I can guarantee that every little goofy exaggerated soundbit he creates with his voice would sound phenomenal in the right context and situation.

[@lazyluu5558]

im so happy you reacted to tot musica! this is one of my favorite ado songs

[@beembess]

her voice is the first and only voice that’s genuinely given me shivers down my spine. her voice is amazing

[@Elisabeht-Swan]

I saw... this was long time ago. It was an interview or could have been a discussion of one in whish Ado had been asked about how she could make so much varity in her songs or something similar... In which she had answered that she is trying to be the character in which the song is centered. And I believie that because you can't get the emotion out unless you're in character that is suppose to feel a certain way.

[@Shortlovey]

I just saw this and I was so excited that I stopped what I was doing to watch 😅 I'm so glad and hyped that you liked it!!!

i love watching people who know what the hell theyre talking about review people like ado. and chris is probably the best cuz of how concisely he breaks everything down, and also experiments the way she does things while also just lookin incredibly surprised when he learns something he didnt know he could do before. she redefines what people probably consider is possible in music.

[@luna-chan9465]

watching this analysis made me realize just HOW INTENSEEEEE it is with her using her voice so perfectly i hope after singing such songs her voice won't be gone one day D: sound very painfull especialy when doing these extreme notes trying to sound rough af they sound rly cool but i can imagine me her sore throath afterwards ...

[@qman6834]

If you want to hear more from the soundtrack of One Piece: Film Red, then I recommend "Backlight" and "The World's Continuation." Backlight is a kickass rock song that's exactly what you'd expect from Ado, and it's probably my favorite from the soundtrack. The World's Continuation is a much softer and slower piece, but she's still able to convey just as much emotion and demonstrate how beautiful her voice can be.

[@Louriii]

I love your vocal analysis of ado cuz I can effectively copy her singing style a little bit now 😭 I’m still bad at controlling the distortion, it’s kinda 50/50 still but it’s getting there. I always rewatch your videos to remind myself to get certain sounds out of my vocal cords.

[@Olkam-w5u]

And yet, what a cool metal singer she would be...

[@paulthesavage_21yt85]

im a begginer voice actor, and self trained metal vocalist. in one of the projects im part of, i have a screaming role that requires me to get right om the edge of losing it, while still presenting the character as deranged, and having to come to a sudden stop, its hard, but ive trained myself to the point i can do it with little effort, and still go right into subbing for someone with a smoother voice. I started not even being able to carry a pitch, if you think you cant sing, or control yoir voice, with enough good practice, even listening to yourself, you can achieve great things with yoir voice.

[@holdeenyo8914]

trust me, fleeting lullabye will blow your mind. It's so different from other ado works

[@dianeking2223]

Thanks for doing this song

[@Kaderu_]

i kindly suggest you to hear her "annoyance" cover, she was really young (around 15/16 years ) but her voice was already SO GOOD, she always had so much voice power and so much control. Also, that cover came out before Ussewa, that means she wasnt very famous at the time ^^

[@Akaryusan]

i think ados silver bullet when it comes to singing is that she doesnt just sing the song she voice acts it, when she is singing this song she is the character Uta going through her breaking point feeling nothing but bitterness and rage at everything coming undone around her despite her best intentions

[@ozzi9816]

Would be interesting to see your reaction to Mashio, he has a pretty similar style. In particular I'd recommend "あの夏が飽和する"

[@DrAcula-os1nz]

When Sawano is involved, it often signifies the inclusion of German elements, such as the chorus and title in this instance.

[@alfrenenriquez1931]

You should try to check out some of her ballads, as we are very used to hearing her screeaming her heart out, you'd be surprise how well she can sing on her ballads songs like "The World's Continuation" and "Where the Wind Blows" but I highly recommend "Eien No Akuruhi" it's my favorite.

She sings on this street even in live. It is recorded in Ado Live "MARS"

[@ananastuss]

From older Ado songs I'd recommend Lucky Bruto & especially Motherland. For a change from the usual upbeat songs The World's Continuation and Where the Wind Blows (especially the first one) are great for showcasing her voice with slower songs. Another singer I can recommend if you like Ado is Mili.

[@archster4]

Another one of my favorite artists is Tsukuyomi! She also has an insane vocal range. My personal favorites are “reason for existence”, “Gyakutengeki”, and “sing the moon”!

Ado sang this one live yesterday, it really is something special :D

[@TheSquishypig]

Interesting note, she actually sings the music video version as the character represented in the mv, so you could say shes 'voice acting' here. While in the live version of tot musica..she performs it quite differently and more towards her own interpretation of the song, theres more desperation or a feeling of frustration and anger.

[@この太郎-y2z]

This song was made by a famous composer named Hiroyuki Sawano, who worked on the BGM of the anime Attack on Titan when the darkness fell. His songs are characterized by a profound, speedy and dynamic sound, and a fleeting sound using stringed and wind instruments. The two songs I recommended are bright songs. The Feeling Lullaby was written by a rapper named Totham Hutt, and unbelievably written by a band called Mrs. Green Apple✨She didn't make my own song, but it was original. I did. The singing voice is wonderful. 😂
