This song is so beautiful, even that insane scream was painfully beautiful. who would have know that something so harsh could be so pretty at the same time

[@L2_Impart]

Welcome to metalcore and Deathcore music

[@sr_ian]

Forever one of my favorites anime OP*. Love the pure rawness of emotion and voice control, this man is amazing.

[@SparkyTM]

not my fav OST but probably my fav opening song

[@awesomeanime3644]

It is op only not ost

[@pote-take]

I live in Tokyo. It's a shame, but I didn't know there was a singer like him in Japan if I hadn't seen your channel. It was my first time hearing the title "Tokyo Ghoul", but I was able to understand the despair and loneliness that comes from having a ghoul inside of him. "Don't look at me" "But don't forget me". What a deep lyric. Your videos always broaden my horizons. Thank you.

[@JeusAlprime108]

To me, Tokyo Ghoul is more of like a metaphorical way of describing a kind hearted naive youngster living in Tokyo, being forced by society or poverty or gangster or etc. and becoming someone he has been hated all his life. And in this manga and anime, this tokyo community issue has been metaphorically substitute as becoming a cannibal ghoul. That's why it put so much effort on describing the taste of every food he taste almost as if this is a food/chef related manga.

[@andhikasurya5902]

@@JeusAlprime108 thank you for explanation, it take me several years to know meaning of this anime, now i understand why some character in this anime look like "depressed edgy emo kid" rejected by society.

[@JeusAlprime108]

@@andhikasurya5902 np, I'm glad this comment age well and help somebody figuring something out too. 😁

[@maoushiki8506]

yeah. he is out of common , here we got 2 or 3 like that but they are pure gold sigers that our countries should protect. the 1 i like is nahuel pennisi

[@sainouwanai]

That's just TK s style , even when it's just his songs and not anime related he likes to crack up his voice intentionally, like strain his voice , he's done this throughout the years and I assume his voice got used up to going to the limit and over , the insane thing about TK is that he also plays the guitar at the same time when singing like that and screams , which is very impressive in my opinion, many say they don't like his voice but I think it's his style and fits perfectly , his range and technique is impressive and for me his voice is very beautiful, and sometimes it's like he cuts you with emotional waves when he's singing , I recommend you check this live performance of his . kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnuuZGatbptgaM0

[@Nukerunin]

He's got an extremely unique voice. It's almost like he's permanently in falsetto. He's not a countertenor I don't think, since he doesn't sound like a Mezzo and still has masculine qualities to his voice, but at the same time he sounds more feminine. It's just tough for me to place, but I love how much emotion it brings.

[@L2_Impart]

Scream singing it's actually a technique used by metal vocalists. Including myself. It isn't even hard to do, everyone can do it. The thing is, please don't hurt your voice now.

[@L2_Impart]

@@Nukerunin he's a soprano countertenor, those exist.

[@incredibleguy4620]

Couldn't say much better than this about TK, much love y'all

[@nhiedre]

@@Nukerunin I think a big part of his singing is how breathy or clear he sings and in this song, mostly it's a very breathy but still high and to the note. If this makes sense :D I really couldn't say about his voice range, I wouldn't place him as contra tenor either (or countertenor) but he sure is very skilled at different ways of using his voice. On the higher end of male vocals at least I'd say but if he hasn't done any classical singing it can be really hard to say. I've had some classical training and for me the hard things are a: breathy singing and b: any type of growling :D

[@elrondmcbong467]

I think the scream is so much more emotional in the unplugged version. This dude really has perfect control over his voice.

[@khaos8049]

Absolutely one of the best anime and anime songs ever made!!! TK and Lisa are on a different level. Lisa's Homura first take is amazing as well.

[@albiflora]

You should check out Aimer's Us Live performance. Its composed and written by TK but sang by her. Her vocal range and her voice is just incredible.

[@pink_alligator]

Some might think this one isn't as perfect as the demon slayer one but they're so very different when so much of this song relies on him pushing and lying just on the edge of breaking his voice. I'm amazed he can pull it off this well like this all in one go

[@user-ny7nk5nk8j]

i believe this is quite better

[@pennyinheaven]

The way he sang the song was like he was literally crying, wailing, sobbing. The gasp in the end just syncs when you gasp while crying. Not me syncing my crying to the song, I’m just interpreting it that way…….😶

[@alisonrenaud6432]

I never clicked on a video so fast!! Tokyo Ghoul is one of my favorite animes of all time next to Death Note. The way TK embodies the main character with all his anguish and uncertainty of being half hunan half ghoul against his will. Ive never seen a singer portray a character so beautifully just from his voice alone. His voice gives me chills every time.

[@user-dokuzetsukun]

Thank you for great reaction!! Love from Japan💕

[@sheenamaejaco1396]

Ugh. This song reminds me again of the time when I was so freaking in love with Kaneki in Tokyo ghoul era. This is one of my favorites anime OP.

[@jayweyplays3293]

Love the reactions man! :) TK has such a unique voice. There is another performance of his on THE FIRST TAKE with a song called Copy Light. I also recommend that one :)

[@tpost117]

Check out his live concert version of this song. It’s incredible as well. His Copy Light first take is awesome too.

[@nhiedre]

I absolutely love this version of the song, with just the piano and strings 🖤

[@Athy12-12]

Lately you've been reacting to a lot of my favorite groups and I love it 🥰

[@frostyfb7290]

One of my favorite anime OSTs and videos from First Take. I've re-watched this video so many times, so I'm so glad you reacted to it! Also, not sure if you already saw, but he did another song, "Copy Light," on the same channel that was good

[@TrixiPB]

He has so many great songs also with the band, they have good songs. Check out another one of his first take performances, he plays his guitar in that one, it is a slower one, but so emotional.

[@masaki901]

This is in the top list of the anime OST. Got me hyped when I saw the thumbnail.

[@MiwaChann]

This song always makes me cry, even when I sing it.

[@nathanbanos1049]

Fits the show so well too love this song ❤

[@gaaragresnik4140]

TKs Band is "ling tosite shigure" and they do really insane stuff ^^ also Tks Guitar Skills remind me of Jack White, very unique.

[@SnowMoonheart]

I will always love this song. First time I heard it, I had to download it

[@CN-zi4gs]

I freaking love your reaction!

[@Akkarri]

On this channel he also did live his song Copy Light. that one is like power ballad. My fav song by him is Signal though. fully recommended.

[@makeda6530]

His song Signal (it was used as an opening for 91 days) is amazing too!

[@hical9341]

Since you already watch this. You should his other video on First Take which Copy Light. In this video you see him playing the guitar while singing which still get me chills everytime i hear. Especially his lyrics. Have a nice day.

[@danavic9007]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍

[@Fang0rr]

TK performed a song called Copy light on The First Take and if i remember correctly it was also really good.

[@samaustenmacaro7881]

Finally!! Review.... Of this song

[@fikrisham3081]

Addicted to this song currently

[@SonGoku-dj2rd]

Es lo más Unravel sobre todo en Tokyo-ghoul 🔥🎶

[@Lostbomber]

This is my personal favorite first take.

[@fair6646]

BRO Tifa theme in the Background! I wanted just the reaction but you earned my subscription

[@konisie55]

So happy you starter discover japanese music too.TK isgreat and his band Toshite sigure. Check them out too. If you live guitar. Maybe Miyavi or Marty Friedman would make your ears and soul sayisfied

[@necromontys.]

insane 💜

[@Madchris8828]

Tk is as amazing at singing as he is at guitar. Dude is just an impressive human being with equally impressive talents. You should also check out his band Ling Toshite Sigure. Very cool math rock/ improv craziness

[@user-fl5qd7tb1d]

you should see the Home Take version it was insane!!!

[@SYMDUNITED]

Abnormalize and kartharsis are songs that you will probably enjoy, both from him and his band loved your reaction btw :)

[@keyblades2]

I’ve seen one episode and this op well over a dozen times before I even saw it . This theme is known far and wide

[@kllojn]

Since you've already watched babymetal and they're amazing performance. It amazes me how many male fans attend and participate in singing for these little girls. I remember beside them I used to watch another good group of 2 girls and one unusual member(they'recalled ladybaby). Who could of thought it was a success. It blow my mind. That person left now ,replaced by two new girls. Well I suggest you watch their old songs first then their new version. Some people still like the new them.

[@Tartarus-xj7du]

Love the song and the Final Fantasy background music ;)

[@cactuarizard]

Yes he has another song called Copy Light on First Take

[@sarahbraine7372]

Copy Light By TK also on First Take, and he does Katharsis another Tokyo Ghoul OP

[@Luna-vn8vo]

after that 'unravelling the word' I could just hear that electric guitar & drum fills.

[@user-ny7nk5nk8j]

my favorite anime for sure

[@yugen.111]

New subscriber, Sir John!

[@camillarodezno3345]

Try 'Abnormalize' from Ling Toshite Shigure too

[@wiinnnn___]

🔥❤️🔥

[@alexthegs2624]

If you like this you need to check out his band, ling tosite sigure, it'd probably be up your alley even more

[@yveodstruxn]

If you're curious and have a minute, check out ling tosite sigure, TK's band, they're really good.

[@mila1195]

Oh yes. I recommend you, all TK from 凛として時雨 songs are fucking amazing!

[@chicken.fine.7716]

i watched another channel react to this and they considered themselves "vocal coaches" and were calling him a "participating artist" calling his voice a joke and i just- my blood was boiling, yes they were allowed o react BUT THEY WERE SLANDERING HIM. "his voice is a joke" im mad right now... is 4am and i just- IM MAD

[@poppy69420]

They left for like 9 months after that and just recently did a “re reaction”

[@Mike20we]

You really need to react to the song Katharsis by TK as well. You'll love it as well and it's literally one of my favorite songs pretty much ever.

[@arisvalast7803]

Wow!That song is so emotional and beatiful!! Hey, you should react to the song Fuyu no Hanashi, of the anime given. I think you would love it.

[@SparkyTM]

you should react to 91 days opening "signal" its also from tk

[@celineblondeau7526]

My favorite anime 🤩 And amazing singer ☺️

[@JohnReavesLive]

For real though! It’s so good!!

[@albiflora]

You have good taste but manga better.

[@ritwikdobriyal6751]

Katheris is also from tk you can listen to it

[@oneeyed4127]

You should react to TK from Ling Tosite sigure copy light first take version

[@taedidthat2809]

YES! My world’s are overlapping on your channel! This song is so badass! If you haven’t already I recommend reacting to Gurenge by LiSa (first take) it’s from the anime Demon Slayer!

[@emirgameplaytr2164]

my favorite ost is glassy sky.

[@clarissathedyan]

I hope you'll check out co shu nie, a math rock band, i highly recommend their performance on first take fes (song: zettai zetsumei)

[@sarcasticuno3976]

you should ract to Babymetal Arkadia and Katharsis by TK, you'll love them. Also love the reactions

[@puccamaiden]

talking about pitching voice you should listen the first take of fire by queen bee is just awesome and its the song for dororo opening also a very good anime ❤

[@mitrikgaduk347]

Honestly, I don't know who sings higher, Craig Owens of Chiodos/D.R.U.G.S or TK. It's a question I've been asking myself for a long while now. I actually think they both use the same screaming technique (Vocal Fry) as hearing TK scream it's incredibly similar, especially Craig's old stuff. There's some wild talent in the Japanese Metal scene, some of the deathcore and harsher metal is outright stomach turningly good. Mind you, I listen to just about everything, so I'm well versed in J-Pop, J-Rock, etc. So this is all coming from someone who's a massive fan, hah.

[@IRONSIDE45282]

Pls react to TK-COPY LIGHT ,first take version it's very good ,it emotional and he cries in end.

[@johnwong7562]

If you like this song, I recommend you check Zhou Shen’s version as well, you will also find that amazing

[@ChelseaFC1996_]

!!

[@whendarknessfalls6969]

The metal scream followed by repeating the same line, but in a crying voice

[@Paul_Abbott_Landsraad_Project]

Heya bud, good work. Where is the original video?

[@dcarillotes]

React to copy light it’s so good ❤😊

[@marielacuello7909]

React op3 full Tokyo goul tk 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@paolapaola6945]

Check this band CN BLUE SONG LET IT SHINE.

[@anyrussenberger9562]

Please check BIJIN, of Chanmina. The First Take version AND the MV... She's another asian beast!

[@ShadowCatGambit]

Yeah, I found a video where 3 people didn't like his voice, but I don't think they got it at all. There should be a wavering like on the verge of tears, there should be a brokenness that tries to find healing, there should be a burst of anger that questions the validity of the world and why it is the way it is. The voice can't have a perfection to it, there must be the imperfection of humanity portrayed against the gentle and beautiful notes of the music.

[@liza_pet]

PLEASE REACTION TO OST D.O. "BITE" 2022.

[@teehee4112]

Can I get the link to your first reaction to tk, can't seem to find it

[@njpponari]

Check out "Dir en grey - Vinushka" from the Kaya channel. You could like it.

[@nate8930]

Ahhh, reminds me of the emo days. When we were young eh? lol. Great voice he does have.

[@paulbongcas1494]

Please react to his next FIRST TAKE LIVE Copy light wanna watch your reaction based on his past lovelife hahaha

[@danielclough9544]

Tk - the first take - copy light, that ones even better I think

[@LaRubiaCantante27]

Nana Mizuki - Eternal Blaze OR Phantom Minds

[@phaeron]

Without question, this is a brilliant version. But I wish there was a collaboration between him and the band 'Asterism', who in my opinion have delivered the best instrumental cover of this song so far. 3 young musicians with tons of talent who are specialized in metal instrumentals. There is also an MV of that cover on their channel that I can only highly recommend to you. _____________________ 【 _Till I return to dust I will stand alone in the dark with my pride at the end of time_ 】--- *Nemophila* - '徒花 -Adabana-' 💮

TK has a high pitch voice. Kpop fans hate this type of male voice.

[@watertatsuya]

K pop was inspired by j pop lol

[@brunolheritier8829]

And speaking of vocalist scream, you should really try Nemophila if not already done, for example with this one : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGfEfqiXnd2tbsU You will be blown away. 🙂

[@djentleman4712]

Copylight one take

[@ItsZekken]

Unravel is a great song, but isn't even one of his best. There's another TK performance in the same channel, the song is Copy Light. He also plays the guitar and shreds. You'll love it.

[@brunolheritier8829]

You should really try the stunning instrumental version performed by this insane trio ASTERISM : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYubkn2Gq5tkbMU 🔥🔥🔥 Regarding this track, I prefer the other version also performed by ASTERISM with the singer Pellek: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJPWoJarfdONkK8
