I’m new to your channel and I love it, but I would deffo recommend the songs she did for one piece. Tot musica more so, it’s by far one of my fave songs. The vocal range she has is so good in it

[@carbonslice8160]

It should be noted that the growl in the "huh?" is because "huh?" is a very aggressive way to express confusion in Japanese

[@FutureAIDev2015]

Yep, the way she says it, はぁ?! would be closer to "EXCUSE ME?!?!"

[@envykki]

cultural differences like this are always funny for me to learn bc i’m south viet, but english is my main language, so when i say “huh?” it comes off sounding indignant/aggressive to others lol (did not realize for the longest time)

[@KUENTIN102]

Ado recently released an album where she covers a bunch of songs. Her cover of “Aishite Aishite Aishite” is definitely something to take a look at. She does so many things with her voice, and it’s just so addicting!

[@steveee_0]

That song is crazy. Really good as well.

[@KenjaTimu]

Kikuo (who made the original Aishite) is great. I think I like Hole Dwelling and Dance of the Corpses better than Aishite.

[@neppnepp]

Syudou (the guy who wrote and produced the usseewa track) Is actually an amazing vocalist himself! You should check out his songs Noroshi and yattyattawa (my personal favorites). He sang and wrote them all by himself and I really think he deeds more recognition for it

Would really like to see your reaction to Aishite Aishite Aishite by Ado. She was crazy for this. That song is everything why we love Ado.

[@ronnieperkins6760]

My jaw literally dropped when I heard her sing that. Can't wait to see Chris listen to it!

[@Allupertti]

I'd also love to see this! I think there are even some new (?) techniques that the previous songs didn't have (at least as prominently)

[@Yusio]

I love seeing you return to Ado! This song was really interesting because Ado expresses her frustration and criticism of the social mannerisms and the pressure to follow them in Japan, a sentiment that resonated with much of Japan's youth to the point that it has even been called 2021's youth anthem. However, some of the older folks were concerned by the vitriol in the delivery and found the message too crass. I remember hearing her voice for the first time and reading along with the lyrics, and it was so cathartic haha! I'm sure I mentioned it before, but you should take the time to see the music she did for the movie, One Piece: Red. She plays an international pop Idol character named Uta, who is introduced to the audience as a charismatic performer with a gorgeous, soaring, and uplifting vocal (New Genesis). As the movie continues and with each subsequent song, Uta sheds her pop idol persona into something more authentic and almost psychotic ('Backlight' and 'Fleeting Lullaby'), with the height of her dark rage culminating in the song 'Tot'. Ado is the perfect voice to represent Uta: her angelic high notes, textured screams, and heartfelt delivery perfectly encapsulates Uta's character as a desperate, terrified woman who wants to set the world on fire, but doesn't want to admit that she still wants to be saved.

[@sanitarycockroach9038]

Honestly, it has the exact same spirit as the punk rock movement over in the US. Screw the old guard, they got us in this crappy situation to begin with!

[@この太郎-y2z]

You saw Ado's debut song✨It's a song that complained about the manners of Japanese society. Other famous songs that became famous at the age of 17 are the song bocca della verità on the theme of jealousy and the song Loveka on the theme of blind love. When I hear it for the first time, the expression of negative emotions is amazing enough to make me feel scared. After that, the song called Giragira with the theme of overcoming from inferiority complexes, I think these three are worth seeing as the strongest.😂 You might enjoy it better if you watch it with subtitles lol😆

[@yrense]

just a heads up, bocca della verita and rabuka are both covers of vocaloid songs, not her originals.

[@この太郎-y2z]

That's right. The character written “歌いました"in the song of ado means cover. Even if it's not an original song, I love how to arrange it, and I think it's something I can't give to others✨

[@jp-dx6829]

​@@yrenseseriously? I thought those were what you would call a "commisioned song" that is a song singed by a vocaloid to later be singed by the main singer just like what happens in the game Project sekai, because producers don't have that much direct contact with the singers i guess.

[@yrense]

@@jp-dx6829 yep, as you can see in the title of those songs, it says '歌いました' (utaimashita), meaning 'I sang'. that's what she puts in every one of her covers

[@suzukinkun]

この作曲家のSyudouさんによると 曲内の声色や歌唱法の変化は全てAdoさんが自分で考えて作ったそうです。 (デモテープは初音ミクの平坦な声でアレンジをAdoさんに任せた) syudouさんが話すには、彼女はセルフディレクション能力が超一流だそうです。そこに声が付いてきているそうです。

As others are saying, Ado's cover of Ashite Ashite Ashite is absolutely stunning. Believe it or not, it shows even more depth of character and versatility. It's a completely different voice from anything you have heard so far.

[@another_eu_player8035]

It made a 4/10 song (I hate vocaloid) into an insane 9/10

[@Olkam-w5u]

I could be wrong, since I’m not a singer, but it seems to me that her secret (for all her natural abilities) is that her anonymity gives her a lot of time to study and train. And she is definitely learning, because in an interview she told how she learned to yodeling, and that she had to “turn her head over” to master it. By the way, she said that the "Show" was the most difficult song, and she had to practice a lot

[@Thorgalium]

難しいdistortion controlを簡単に聞かせる。という分析に納得しました。 あなたの分析は素晴らしい。

[@steveee_0]

I think that Gira Gira is a very nice song to check out as well. It's sung amazingly (like all her songs) but it gives you a small glance into what's (been) going on inside her. If i remember correctly, she said that the song is a love song she wrote for people like herself who are not meeting the beauty standards. It should also have english subtitles and it's just a great, sad, emotional song.

[@パワースポット-117]

Adoは10月に21歳になりました。 「うっせぇわ」は自宅のクローゼットにて１人でレコーディングしたそうです。 そして21歳に現在でもいまだに１人でレコーディングしていると言ってました。 この「うっせぇわ」はピアノバージョンもあります。 その解説も観たかったです。 Adoにピントがなかなか合わない映像が楽しめます。

[@watercolon]

since you've been tackling ado's songs of her screaming and growling, i really recommend to look over her songs where she's in a more sad-emotional state like "Eien no akuru hi", she really brought out her emotions in that song its worth the listen to for the chills

[@tyrallius-3581]

Alright my guy. This is the second reaction vid I've seen on your channel, and the amount of depth and enthusiasm you put into your reactions are absolute gold. Also the fact that you are not afraid to test out the vocals yourself, mad respect for your technical knowledge, your clear love of the craft, and your lovely jawline. hahaha!

[@spoopyvirgil4944]

I'd honestly love to see you react to some of Will Stetson's covers of some of these songs. He's an english cover artist and his covers completely rearrange my brain chemistry. His Aishite rock cover is especially really good.

非常に分かりやすく解析されていると思います。丁寧に説明してもらったのでなるほど！っとなりました

[@brandoncastro845]

you should.. no, you MUST read the lyrics

[@KenjaTimu]

2:00 Not her debut recording. Ado had been doing Vocaloid covers that were very popular. Useewa was her first original song and possibly first song after she was signed by Universal Japan?

[@renren0714]

In Japanese, vowel pronunciation is important, and all letters end in one of the letters "a.i.u.e.o". Thanks to the characteristic of the Japanese language that you have to pronounce "aiueo" clearly, it sounds powerful and beautiful, and the listener can also feel good about it.

[@Заникизвините]

Usseewa "Mars" live ver is total fire. Ado went complete metal there.

[@KenjaTimu]

Nemophila covered Useewa and Hanabie covered Odo. Hanabie and Nemophila are great Japanese metal bands.

Oh, great reaction and analysis as always. I really appreciate that you highlight her very "simple" things that actually are really hard to do! I've checked a lot of vocal analysis channels but now yours is my favorite!

[@Olkam-w5u]

Someone put the live version of Usseewa from her Mars tour online, and it's the craziest shit I've heard in a long time. It made the "I don't like society's rules" lyrics into an absolut "fuck the system" song. Now she has such a screeching that the listeners really got scared

[@mathmols8835]

You have to react to her songs” Tot Musica and Fleeting Lullaby” aswell!

[@IzzFar9661]

i want to suggest 'Love ka?' or ラブか？ (you can copypaste it) which features Ado and is two years earlier than Usseewa if i'm not mistaken. The song is entirely sung by Ado but produced by another producer which is kinda in the same world as the Usseewa's producer. And also the song give a bit spotlight to Ado's different singing's style.

[@trxpmine]

[@fizzyb0mb]

I'm so glad you're having a lot of fun listening to Ado! I'd really like to recommend Eve as well, another Japanese singer who started out kind of small too but has blown up within the recent years! I really recommend Fight Song, How to Eat Life, Adventure Log, & Living Idly and Dying as if Dreaming! I don't really know how to describe his voice other than a bit ethereal, and I feel like it gives me hope when I listen even if some subjects are dark haha. I guess it's just because he's breathy, but I love his songs!

the simplest way to explain ado is ado ft ado ft ado ft ado ft ado with harmony by ado. in all seriousness ado hard work to master her voice is amazing like you said the sound of her voice is a balance of contradicting freedom and following a set of rules and she is not worried about sounding silly when signing, even is she feel like it is silly/cringe afterwards

[@Nevermind445]

Kenshi Yonezu is a really phenomonal artist that you could check out, really any of his music, but ones I'd personally recommend is ""Pale Blue", "Lady", "Moongazing" "Orion", "Campenella" and "Lemon".

Did you get you to read the lyrics with this? They are one of the main reasons it was such a hit with younger people in Japan - they are harsh but kinda funny too lol. They wouldnt be a big deal in the west- but in Japan? Its no wonder the older gens were a bit up in arms about it. p.s I hope you get to check out the piano version to hear it live with just a piano - i think she sings it even better :) (And you will kinda get a partial glimpse of Ado :) - at least enough to see how physically engaged she gets etc)

[@notfunny6606]

Your excited reactions and comments are getting me excited!

[@McWanderer13]

This wasn’t really the start of her career, this was when she debuted. Before ‘Usseewa’, she would make covers of countless other songs which can go all the way back to when she was 15-16. Most of the covers she made weren’t really recognized because most of them were sung with a high pitch and completely smooth voice, but she sung them in her own unique way with vocal distortions and a deep voice.

[@Mo-xn4cx]

ado is such a exceptional vocalist. I love japanes music if you are in this anyway right now I would love you to react to LiSA first take performance she is also such a unique japanes vocalist with an absoloute astonishing singing technique

[@Esteves2102]

Chris, there's a growing rock band from Utah called Citizen Soldier. The singer, Jake Segura, attempted suicide in late 2015/early 2016 and is now a therapist who writes songs based on personal experiences, things said by fans and things said by some of his therapy clients. Not only are the songs awesome but his voice carries a huge amount of emotion in each song. I think that a great song to introduce his voice to you is Reason To Live since it's one of the most emotional ones and has a lot of different vocal qualities that he uses.

Another fun Ado analysis! Thank you for helping me understand 'how the sausage is made.' It helps me understand why I like her songs, and gives me some tools to appreciate them in a new way. You might try 'Freedom.' Of all her songs, it seems the most similar in structure to an American pop/rock song, so it might be an interesting way to compare her to Western artists that I'm more familiar with.

[@AS-kr3lu]

You gotta do Ado’s ”Tot Musica“! It's another mind blowing piece! I've been enjoying your analisys soooo much. your professional explanations are so interesting and I'm amazed at your technique to give out any kind of voice at once. Ado’s singing is not only playful but closely related to the lyrics and emotion lying there. She is a master of using her voice and also a master of dragging out the raw emotion and conveying it so straightforward to us no matter what it is. (Usssewa was an example of a rebelling song) She can easily make me cry solely with her voice. (like in “unravel“) So for me Its interesting and exciting when you refer to her different characters or her acting with the voice without understanding the lyrics. Her voice conveys so much. You'll find another completely different character，emotion and drama in Tot Musica. I believe the song itself is a difficult one that not every singer can express its world so well. It was sang in an anime film (she did the song parts). I haven't seen the film but understood what was going on from her song. Her voice conveys everything so dramatically. For me Tot musica is one of her master piece. Would love to see your analysis.

I remember this song got some criticism in Japan cuz politicians were claiming that it went against Japan's peaceful order and civil manners....

[@cyndrift]

I think one thing that helps the growls a lot in this song is that japanese is a language primarily spoken in the back of one's mouth. it gives the vowels a lot of resonance and makes it more conducive to growling. of course she is mad talented regardless, I just think it's interesting how the language itself can affect the music in more subtle ways.
