First time reacting to Domestic Girlfriend - Crying for Rain - Minami
I am a former full time musician with professional experience as a performer and as a studio recording artist.
One of my viewers on Twitch asked me to react to Domestic Girlfriend - Crying for Rain
Here I explain what I hear and feel. Trying to make sense of what the singer is doing and what is happening with their voice
This video is purely a reaction and I have no rights or affiliation with the song. All rights to the musicians that made the song

[@FLagstarMusic]

There are A LOT of insane singers from Japan. Besides Minami and TK, there's LiSA, Ado, Aimer, Aoi Eir, Konomi Suzuki, Reona, yama and so many more. Japan is really passionate about their music and there's a whole new world to discover if you're new

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

That's why I have my Discord channel so people can recommend the music to me. Thank you so much for the comment!

i absolutely love seeing people react to this song for the first time. because i know there is no way that anyone could dislike this song

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

It's truly a masterpiece!

[@arthurdukapell2796]

basically my fav opening, this one is so good

[@objectobject410]

What Minami lacks in quantity she more than makes up for in quality. She is my personal favorite singer, and I can absolutely recommend any one of her songs, all of them are masterpieces. (She does have a lot more older songs, which unfortunately aren't on her KZbin channel anymore, but all of the ones that are there are worth checking out)

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

I streamed last night and reacted to 3 of her songs. Hollowness hit me so hard in the feels

the music & the anime/manga it's masterpiece✨

[@andriansapoetra798]

her voice smooth asf

[@notsure3294]

The song is probably the objectively best part of the anime in term of quality. The show is a carwreck, but it's a masterpiece of a carwreck that you can't help but stare and watch until the fire burns out

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

People have been divided with this show. Some people say it's amazing, others hate it. I haven't seen it yet

[@notsure3294]

@@StrangeSinceBirth Personally, i love it, but it's a carwreck. So, i'm on the amazing side, but i know it's not good

[@farleylai1102]

According to Animenz, "unravel" and "Crying for Rain" are linked:「It’s hard to explain, but this song feels like a "lost twin" of another song: “unravel” from “Tokyo Ghoul”. The similar chorus melody, the similar chord progression, the similar song structure with the “soft” part at the beginning - the similarities are astonishing.」

[@sakaraist]

The almost reverse emphasis you hear in the vocals at the end of a sentence is often referred to as "fraying", It's insanely hard to do without damaging your vocal cords, hence the name fraying. The only english vocalist that comes to mind in a similar manner would be Ronnie Radke of Falling In Reverse. You can especially hear it in the reimagined track of 'the drug in me'. Once again though, Unbelievably hard on the vocal cords. Very few people can consistently do it without doing permanent damage which is quite the testament to Minami's talent.

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Agreed! It took me years to be able to do it which is why I can appreciate it so much!

[@dirac_dydx1830]

This is music for the soul.

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Agreed!

[@EinTheVariance]

Minami is great, btw all her videos have English CC, so you can turn it on and see what she is saying, which is really important since she is always saying something important in her songs. I recommend Hollowness and Lilac as well from her

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Thank you for the comment! I am checking out Hollowness this week. I also don't like having cc on with my first reaction cause it distracts me

[@daveys_gaming_corner]

Minami is so goddamn talented, I have a japanese maple tree and i named her Minami

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

I wanna listen to more of her stuff, but I don't wanna spoil to reaction to it. I honestly love her song hollowness so much

[@Sunflower_SM64]

Love this op. You described it perfectly.

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@GeorgeWBush468]

ella es cool , ufff minami tiene un vozarron , Amazing

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Her voice is super powerful!

[@paulp9653]

you need to listen to more of her staff! My favourite song by her and probably by anyone ever is hollowness. Relly recommend it to you. Really enjoyed your reaction btw

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Thank you sooo much! I'm gonna put it on the list and react to it next stream! Your comment means so much to me

[@ImNeca]

Not really, "Crying for Rain" is my fave, but if this one is a 10/10 any other of her song is AT LEAST a 8/10 so yeah she's GOATed

[@anbui2154]

My fav is eternal blue, best minami song forever

[@rubiepie]

What's more insane by this that THIS SONG was used on the anime Domestic Girlfriend. Which is an anime where A guy did a one night stand to a girl she met on a mixer. Then later found one that It's actually going to be her Step Sister, and her teacher which he have a crush on. Is also her step sister...

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

I heard so many people talk about it, so I have to watch it now

[@platdragon9526]

@@StrangeSinceBirth Please don't, its so laughably bad. I don't even associate crying for rain with the anime anymore

[@g76agi]

wait so you watched (or read it) and you are saying its "laughably bad"....? You sure you are just on the "haha weird show bad give me internet points" train? 🤣 I mean, even on MAL (which already suffers from people like that) the manga and the show have an "ok" rating, so thats saying something@@platdragon9526

[@masudashizue777]

I also recommend the artist group Soutaiseiriron, which is translated as Theory of Relativity.

[@shivarampersaud6799]

Even though its popular, this song doesn't get as much love as it deserves. Probably some of the best vocals I've ever heard in a song EDIT: I'm glad you see the beauty in this song and how it's tied with Unravel for best anime openings lol

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

It is my favourite anime opening now. I listened to it again today and fell in love even more. But thank you so much for the comment! I was recommended Hollowness from the same artist. So will react to it on my next stream

[@shivarampersaud6799]

@@StrangeSinceBirth Of course man! And I'd love to see that.

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Thank you!

[@BenganGamer]

id say this song is pretty properly popular, the rest of her songs are underrated though.

[@raulalbertocolandurand1679]

Hollowness of Minami is a masterpiece

[@GroovyCODM]

the lyrics is what that propel this song as a freaking artwork, by the way watch dometic girlfriend (uncensored) and thanks me later

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

I'll have to check it out then! ^^

[@Dmknight117]

A great show but an amazing manga, it a drama so you get some over the top moments but still really good. But the song does a really good job at hitting the feel of the IP.

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

I've been hearing mixed reviews about it, but I'm gonna have to check it out myself

[@NomikatoDeko]

Make reactions to the songs Ado - ODO/ New Genesis / Bocca Della Verità / Tot Music and Ussewa, please. Probably, this is the most promising singer I've heard, her octave range is just huge, the style of her voice changes almost every sentence

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Now I am SUPER excited to react to it. Putting on the list as we speak! Thank you for suggesting it!

[@NikoCat11]

​@@StrangeSinceBirthAdo's probably the most famous singer in Japan nowadays, and she's still 20 yo lol Trully a genius. You'll absolutely love her. She and Minami are my faves, but Japan has a bunch of insane musicians, it doesn't even make sense.

[@NomikatoDeko]

@@StrangeSinceBirth Thank you for reading the comments, we will be glad to see your reaction/reactions to the Ado songs. Believe me - you won't regret it )

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

I read all my comments, even if I don't respond to them always, but I def need to check it out. Everyones been requesting it!

[@NomikatoDeko]

@@StrangeSinceBirth I forgot to mention songs like Backlight and Gira Gira, if you like some of her songs - watch or listen to these clips, I've been choosing which songs to pick up for possible future reactions for a long time, and I've agreed on 8 pieces at the moment (an Ado fan since 2019) that could suit all kinds of music listeners

[@coragon42]

These aren't all from anime (the last one is), but here are a few Japanese songs that I personally recommend: Yorushika - Deep Indigo

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

Blooming in the Mud such a beautiful song, i would love to see more reactions to it. Very underrated

[@paimonemergencyfood3392]

Unravel next pls you'll love it

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

I did check unravel, actually my most popular video, but I got a lot of requests to check the live version

[@mitrikgaduk347]

Here's a quick synopsis for the Anime... Dudebro guy has a one night stand with some chick, dudebro guy finds out his dad found a new wife, dudebro guy finds out his new sister is the teacher he has a massive crush on, and her sister is the one he had a one night stand with. So dudebro guy, the chick he had a one night stand with, and his teacher he has a crush on, all live in this house, with a rather anxiety ridden relationship. If you watch it, I recommend going in blind, without any preconceived notions. By the end you will question a lot of things, like is right for you to bang your new stepsister if you've already banged her previously. Yes, I am being incredibly coy about this, being this Anime tore my fucking heart out, and I love it to tears, I have to joke and meme about it as a defense mechanism, as I am still dealing with PTSD from the hell I had unleashed upon myself those many years ago.. Fuck I need to watch it again.

[@StrangeSinceBirth]

I'm actually planning on watching it, some people say it's a masterpiece while others say it's garbage. So have to give it a shot

[@user-rt4sb8ko8f]

I recommend these songs: Cry baby from Tokyo Revengers Stand proud, Bloody stream from JOJO’s bizarre adventure Kick Back from chainsaw man; full ver. by Kenshi Yonezu. I hope you enjoy them :)
