Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction - YOASOBI「アイドル」(Idol) from 『YOASOBI ARENA TOUR 2023

[@ilhamalbasith2618]

This was the encore of the whole concert, so you can imagine the crowd Also the guy who was hyping the crowd was Ayase, the composer of YOASOBI. He wrote the lyrics and the music for YOASOBI songs!

[@ElChacrax3]

[@megg734]

Japan has the best audience.

ありがとう

[@and_rei1020]

Facts bro most of the concerts in America especially the more famous ones always has some people just watching the concert through their phone while recording like wtf

[@Nunnunnovember]

That is Ayase.He is a member of Yoasobi along with Ikura the singer. He is the one who makes all of Yoasobi's songs. He is also a singer even though he doesn't sing in Yoasobi. If you watch a lot of their performances you will notice that he is always there with Ikura on stage.

[@Kriss_941]

yep, yoasobi is a duo and he's literally the second part of the duo lol

[@TheLeomarti]

@@Kriss_941 and arguably the most important part since he creates all of Yoasobi ahah

[@nr1877]

yes. he's the music composer and lyricist. yoasobi's style of music also affected by his style bcs he makes vocaloid. in yoasobi, his music and ikura's vocal try to match and blends well wiyh each other. i love when he's also hyping on the stage. his energy is lit.

[@cdl209]

He should listen to ayase’s self cover..he has an amazing voice❤

[@kino5402]

Ikura also has been a great composer and lyricist since her schooldays.

[@resolutelament]

It's definitely her real voice all the way. Please do yourself a favor and check out Yoasobi's Gunjou on the first take. Her voice is angelic, Yoasobi is so amazing

[@howardlam6181]

yea they don't play recordings. They have other people to join in on the chorus .

[@正人西脇]

ありがとう😃

[@porschenathara7147]

I love the chorus part so much in gunjou like i could listen to it the whole day

[@az639]

This is why I love Japanese concerts. They usually don't use recordings at all or just a really minimum amount so you get to hear the singers actual voice which often results in the live version being better than the studio version.

[@user-hm1fu3xd9k]

[@reco-q4o]

わかるよ。コンポーザーがayaseだしね

[@aztigkj]

Well, ayase is also a composer of vocaloid songs so that's why there's a similarity to the themes.

[@elevown]

Im suprised as a vocalist you didnt mention the most impressive thing about her singing this- the incredible breath control needed for this song! Its like 50 words a minute non stop all the way through- with almost zero pauses- there isnt even a second long pause between chorus and verse - or anywhere else for most of it - tons of long fast runs etc.. Without fantastic breath control and breathing technique this song would be impossible for most singers to pull off as it is.

[@JohnReavesLive]

There Is so much going on with this performance, I honestly dont know how I missed that, thanks for pointing it out!

her speaking voice is the same with her singing voice you can search her videos here in youtube where fans uploaded her singing IG live sessions... She is well trained singer and a former member of PLUSONICA.. That group all members can be main vocalist and play different instruments too where Lilas Ikuta (a.k.a Ikura) discovered by Ayase to form YOASOBI duo

[@seaweed1128]

🤔 i don't think the same with her speaking voice. This voice is kinda like 'squeezing' and make it a kawaii feeling, the 6:47 part sounds more similar to her actual voice

[@Adjuz]

@@seaweed1128ike to make the pitch higher?I don’t think there’s a way around it

[@seaweed1128]

@@Adjuz no i mean she's like voice acting (should i say that?) in the song. That's not like her usual voice in pther song, this one is a cuter one to close to the 'idol' theme. but in some part that's the vioce we usually heard.

[@roddy222]

Every time I go to Japan I always try to get into a concert, the crowds are just as awesome as the idols/Groups. Just an amazing mix of music culture. Cheers.

[@jamie4993]

Japan apparently does not do arena shows by half measures.

[@GomuRoux]

Something important most people dont seem aware of, Yoasobi is the name of the duo Ayase (the hype man he talked about but mostly the writer of their songs) and Ikura the singer.

[@McDudes]

not only are the band so in sync but also the crowd and even the live video editor swapping from camera angles perfectly

If go to a live concert of ADO and LiSA and YOASOBI in Japan, you fall down by excitement; will do it

[@shinigami656]

japan concert is another level

[@PachirisuDaDawn]

Lilas Ikuta is a world-class singer. The only reason why you have ever doubted her voice technique and reaching is you didn't know her before, but now you do a little. She first sang Racing Into The Night (Yoru Ni Kakeru), their first hit, when she was just 17. Check that out live in The First Take and you'll have a better idea of how ridiculously talented and trained she is. She sings so well it feels like a robot.

[@Tcuczikeh]

Yoasobi basically became idol herself

[@ruuowo]

FAX (its ikura tho, yoasobi is the band)

[@kenshinflyer]

What actually drew me to YOASOBI was "Shukufuku" from "Gundam: Witch from Mercury." Hearing "Idol," that's just pushing it to a new level.

[@OrangeCheasy]

bro autotune needs her 😭. Shes crazy good.

[@158477158]

Best crowd is in japan with the best song! Omg, I would be love to being there! They are really in to the concert no matter the band and the audience! There are no cell phone at all!

[@MahadiputraSugiharto]

nice reaction, thank you for the work ♥ The opening of the concert are 祝福 (shukufuku) or The Blessing (OST M.S. Gundam: The Witch From Mercury) and the closing are アドベンチャー or Adventure Idol are Encore session in the end of concert after closing, thats why its really hype the crowd, if you are in the concert in person you can hear so many people singing and cheering with the song when this comment posted, its no.1 in Japan Billboard for 11 weeks, no.1 in global chart excl. US for 2 weeks (its no.2 for 10 weeks on global chart until june 24 2023 and 1st time japanese-language music in top 5 global chart) the one who hype the crowd are Ayase, he is the core member of yoasobi and songwriter/composer of アイドル (idol) this single really close to his root as creator of vocaloid music and i really love Ikura singing this song ♥ i fyou really want to see Yoasobi, they will come to US on Head In The Clouds LA on August 2023, the ticket are around 312USD

[@REAL-fd1ip]

JAPAN Quality This is J-POP

[@user-bf7td1gn3t]

The "hype person" at 3:03 is actually Ayase, a well known Japanese producer and he's also in the brighter white colored outfit since Yoasobi is basically a duo consiting of Ayase and Ikura (the singer).

[@WaxWorxRecords]

The energy in this song is so intense, it feels like a sonic punch to the gut.

Ayase is amazing as composer of YOASOBI but also he sings really good ❤ He sing the OP of Buddy Daddies (Shock!) and made self cover of songs that he produce for vocaloid. You can also watch live of their hit songs Yoru ni Kakeru, Monster (OP of Beasters), Gunjou.

[@az639]

Wait what?? Ayase sings the op of Buddy Daddies? How did I not know this when I have been listening to both YOASOBI and that song for month now.

[@derweeblord]

Despite being considered being one of the world breaking songs of 2023 having charted at no. 7 at Billboard Global 200 (highest rank of any Japanese artist so far) and no. 1 on the Global excl. US, "Idol" did not make any significant impact on the US singles charts or in any European singles charts, which is unfortunate. It was Yoasobi's really first international breakthrough though, having charted outside of Japan in South Korea, Singapore and Vietnam for the first time. In November, the duo will open for Coldplay on their two Japan shows at Tokyo Dome as part of the Music of the Spheres World Tour. Before that, Yoasobi will perform the USA for the first time in Pasadena, CA in August.

[@OliveOL_98]

I want to get tickets for the Coldplay show in Lyon, France in June 2024, I would have been so hyped if they would open for them here as well (I know it’s not gonna happen 😭)

[@joelmartincrawford]

I’m a huge metal head. The stereotypical fat guy with a beard, arms crossed at the back, if it has clean vocals I don’t wanna hear it. But man, I’ve fallen deep down the Japanese music scene rabbit hole. So much amazing talent. So much musical innovation. I just absolutely can’t get enough. And man this woman has pipes. That high placement she’s using, to be able to hold that and sing that clearly. Damn. That’s some vocal skill. Her diction is just insane. Very clean and clear. Her pitch accuracy is really solid. She’s definitely live because she misses a good number on here (which is cool and normal) and she overshoots the high jump several times, even getting almost a squeak on one of them. There are some other clips of other concerts where you can hear some fatigue. Not to criticize, just highlighting that she’s legit. So yeah. Now I’m a big metal head/Jpop fan. And better for it.

[@davidenessuno1285]

It just makes me wish to buy a ticket and go to Japan right now.

here the lyric of Idol in english ---- Couldn't beat her smile, it stirred up all the media Secret side, I wanna know it So mysterious Even that elusive side, part of her controlled area Complete and perfect All you say is a bunch of lies Dear miss genius idol, unmatched What did you eat today? What book do you love? Whenever you go out for fun, tell me, where do you go? Haven’t eaten anything It's a secret, unknown Any questions you're facing, always acting so vaguely So unconcerned, although you brightly glow Any seemingly unveiled secrets are as sweet as honey Confusing, why, why, why? Essential lie, lie, lie So, what is your type of guy? Any partner? So, now, answer this "I don't have any idea how I could love anyone” “I don't seem to know what it signifies" Cannot find out if it's true or it's a lie Once again, there's somebody who's fallen for the words and cues Made him lose his head over you That emotion melts all hearts, all eyes on you Cause you are perfect, the most ultimate idol Unrivaled, will not appear again It's the brightest star reborn, yes, indeed Using that smiling face That "I love you" again Now, everybody is lured and captivated by you The pupil that you got The words you vocalize Even when untrue, it’s your perfected Ai Right, right, we all know she's very special, yes We had lost the fight before it started, so impressed Miss I'm such a star We're serving as support to her grace Cannot tell me everything was because of her No, it's not right Out of line How can we not feel jealous while being around It's not a joke, you know, right? So, I cannot forgive you for that Completely deny Imperfect you that I sight Myself, no pardon allowed I won't allow anyone if it's not you, strongest of all That emotion seized all hearts worshiping you Yes, indeed So strong, it's you, unrivaled idol There cannot be weaknesses to find The brightest star is residing in you The gaps and shortcomings, don't show’em Dammit, dammit Parts nobody wants to know should remain hidden One and only If it's different, no way, no way Such a true love, it's the realest Ai Showing this smile, my own weapon Boiling media Keeping everything about my secret deep inside "I'm in love with you," my career is built on such a lie It's the way I know to show my love, without a doubt Running down, my sweat is flowing Cleanest aqua, right? Ruby hidden under my eyelids where it resides I sing and dance around Look at me, I'm Maria So, lying surely is the greatest kind of love I recall no one that loved me whole before And I've not been in love with anybody before Now, the lies I'm making up I'm hoping that a day comes when they all become true And I keep wishing they do One day, I will hold everything that I pursue Yes, I am so greedy, true voracious idol So, sincerely, what I'm wishing for is to love each of you with all my heart And so, today, I lie again The words I vocalize inside of me I'm wishing that one day they come true Up to this day, I've not been able to let you And you hear me saying those meaningful words I said it at last I know it's not a lie as I'm voicing these words I love you ----- maybe do you want make metal cover from it ??

If you go to a concert in Japan, escape from the norm and try to hit a Hololive 3d event. The crowd is insane. The Bang Dream concerts are also insane. The anisong festivals are also amazing. I wish I could afford to drop my life and experience all these events in person but adulting is hard

You should check out more live performances because they are all amazing and in a lot of cases the live version of the songs are better than the studio version. One thing I love about Japanese concerts is that they usually don't use autotune at all or just a really minimum amount so you get to hear the singers actual voice which often results in the live version being better than the studio version.
