MUSIC DIRECTOR REACTS | 【Ado】 Show（唱）

[@adolinkholin]

You know an artist is good if Tony has to stop to talk about the vocals, Ado really is on a whole other level

[@trcgodllo]

Recommended Ado "SHOW" and "unravel" LIVE version, it will shock you even more

[@asaurusrex9165]

At this point ado's voice becomes another instrument and she plays it so well

[@marktheshark5733]

She wasn’t always that good. Early in her career she was more rough and less refined with hitting those notes but she’s almost mastered her craft now which is insane. I listened to her but wasn’t a fan but I’ve been one since 3 years ago

[@FendiSubro]

Fun fact: this song played during the event of Universal Studio Japan, Halloween Horror Night. At certain time and location, every 30 minutes, this song will be played in speakers, and the actors (either zombies, vampires, possessed dolls, mythical creatures, etc. based on your area/location there) will dance on the middle of roads like a parade while trying to scare/interact visitors. The center is the big stage where white female zombies and the vampires dance the same song there. That's why you will see YT shorts from Japanese people there are some snippets of the dance with different dancing actors using this song. You don't have to react the videos on camera, but it is quite entertaining and fun to watch since they are so good at it. Some of them encourage kids, teens, even young adults to come nearer to the streets to dance with them if they memorized the choreography.

[@ShadowNeverDie]

Man that is crazy cool. Really, Universal Studios and Ado together was the best thing that happened in my opinion

[@FendiSubro]

@@ShadowNeverDie it is, well, US Japan shows that Halloween is not about scaring people, but have fun and dance together- music is an universal language, and dancing is part of art- they successfully make the trip more enjoyable and fun. Even the zombies actually have soft spots to children (they will interact with them more nicer, even willingly to break in character to interact with them) I wish other Universal Studios learn this memorable event, it will create an unique experience.

[@AnonymouslyForgotten]

You could never pull shit like that in America 🤣 We’re too damn lazy and boring

[@Jaedi3100]

You apologize for going back to look at stuff, but you going back for the second, third, even fourth look to really get into what is happening is what sets you apart from other react channels. Thanks for the great breakdown, and for giving us viewers a new appreciation for the song!

[@pietrov1335]

Exactly my thoughts. There are reaction videos where you just vibe with someone getting hyped on things you love. And there are Tony's reaction videos, where you have "quality hype", backed up with knowledge you can soak in like a sponge. That persistent going back and musical knowledge he shares with us - common people - is what really sold me on his channel. Thank you Tony for your work!

[@OPGMitaki]

Ado is the god of vocal chords. Considering how fun it sounds like she has in her songs I hope she actually finds her career to be a fun one as well. All hail Ado! ❤

[@TheGamerbeasts101]

hail ADO!!! ✋

[@Joseph_413]

Yes she have fun There's one stream where she react to her own concert and she cringe so much, she always thinks she need to do something better ❤

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Her and Freddie Mercury are my favorite singers ever!

[@Khn_2102]

​@@Yuki_Ika7Both have that similar energy ngl

[@Wingnut353]

Well I mean she did to a giver who's title can literally be translated to "I tried to sing like a god"... its kind of a play on words sort of. I'm referring to her cover of PINNOCHIOP's Kamipoi Na.

[@MeIsHaku]

Teddyloid and Giga are like the dynamic duo of electronic music production for me. Any song they're both working on together (and when they're individually working alone) always turns out amazing. But this song definitely wouldn't be so amazing without Ado's masterful vocals over it. Just straight up musical perfection

[@methos4866]

Let's also give some props to FAKE TYPE for the lyrics. That man knows how to write bangers.

[@JandCanO]

And for me those 2 + Ado are the dynamic trio that appear in lots of my favorite songs haha

[@MeIsHaku]

@@JandCanO I don't know many songs that feature all three of them together. I know Odo had them both producing, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[@mirageowl]

@@methos4866 yeah especially that writing something so percussive for that one part I can feel the THHK and Iwasaki's signature

[@tsunamininja]

​@@methos4866the eenie minie mo segment is the most distinct touch he has on the song imo - great lyricist, so fun to listen to!

[@Tony_SSBM]

I'm so glad you checked this song out, please listen to more of her songs!

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Definitely

[@acevanitas1143]

​@@DrumRollTonyReactsmaybe do odo next! It's by the same exact producers!! and also you like chainsaw man's 5th ending and it was by syudou, he has done "usseewa" for ado, please check that out too!!

[@MikoYae]

No need to apologize for going back, I needed a replay on this song 🔥

[@naliem12]

I feel you may be the only reactor to get almost all intricancies that goes into this song and I can see you really enjoy this one with the constant going back and smiling just at what was going on. It may be not her best vocal performance (Crime and Punishment or the live uranvel cover may be her very best vocal performances) but as a composition point of view, this is by far her best work. Kudos to the whole team behind producing this.

[@rei.gnheart]

I say this is a whole Ado appreciation video😂 God I just love her

[@resolutelament]

Oh dude you need to see her perform this song live. She kills that mid section and it’s unbelievable. Currently in Japan, you hear this song everywhere. Ado is unstoppable!

[@pega7550]

Ado as vocalist, Tophamhatkyo as lyricist, giga and teddyloid for the mix, this is a certified garanteed banger, every single one of them is goated and worth checking out their individual productions.

[@Mischievalrous]

Glad that you reacted to this artist again! Would love to see more of Ado content here, Tony. Especially the breakdown of the most popular ones. Keep up the good work!

[@A40El1teAssass1n]

The live version on her channel is really good too. It's crazy to see her do some of those parts live and not miss a beat.

[@Soul_Jam]

I first read about "Show" because she wrote it in collaboration with Universal Studios Japan for their Halloween events. Did not expect it to go so hard as a standalone song, probably my favorite from Ado now too!

[@penguin-tc1cx]

didn’t know it was for usj woah 😳

[@anothercreature7666]

bro was shocked at the greatness of 8:50 to 9:15 straight up vibing felt dude felt 😂😔👌

[@snakewatch5468]

I'm one of the people that requested this reaction, thank you Btw Ado said that this song was the most exhausting song of her entire career up to this point

[@AleekZZ666]

I feel like Ado is just flexing her vocal skills on every song she releases

[@markberry9233]

So much happening in this song. I love Ado's vocal variety and change-ups. I scored a ticket to see her sold-out show in L. A. in March (wasn't easy). Can't wait to see her live... 😀

[@ozerune]

This song was a massive collaboration between many producers. The main two of this song I believe are Giga and TeddyLoid who are also responsible for Odo, as well as many, many other songs by many artists.

[@tsunamininja]

Been waiting for this - the guitar bit at the beginning is so sick and the song as a whole feels like a spiritual successor or sequel to Odo

[@fernandaoXD]

this is much better than Odo, it's the best ado song for me too. PinochioP(the producer of thiis song) is fucking awesome.

[@astraboi_gramn3192]

​@@fernandaoXDPinocchioP is not the producer here!

[@tsunamininja]

​@@fernandaoXD pinocchio p is goated but this is not even close to his style lol. it's teddyloid and giga

[@fernandaoXD]

@@tsunamininja oh, thanks. Someone said in other video it was produced by PinocchioP. My bad. So it was produced by teddyloid and Giga, I probably have to check them out now.

This is absolutely my favorite song from Ado, she is getting better and better omg. Her vocals are simply outstanding. Love her songs so much. And congrats to Teddyloid and Giga for amazing mix arregement with Ado Vocals, especially on the Jabarabadabi part.

[@Jingoa]

The first time I heard this song, I wasn't really paying attention because it's all upbeat and dance-y.. but once we got to that sick-ass drum part in the middle I was like "oh shit", they'd better get Tony to react to this because it's amazing. Today, that wish was fulfilled.

[@brad22499]

Awesome dive man! For some extra context, some of the folks working on this piece are worth looking at on their own. Giga is a producer known for his creative and "busy" beat making, sample use and inspired use of multi-cultural drum styles. Teddyloid is a producer known for making club music that is wildly polished for how experimental his signature sound is. The two work together quite a bit, notably on another Ado single "Odo". Both also frequently work in collaboration with other producers and vocalists, they never miss. Finally FAKE-TYPE, a lyricist-rapper/producer duo who have a very unique flow/style. They are known for their electro-swing inspired sound and crazy rap flow. Such a fun world to explore man, glad you're enjoying it!

[@b0unce805]

We need more Ado Tony! She’s awesome. Her and the producers Giga/TeddyLoid are a mean duo. Would recommend Odo(for similar edm style) and also her tracks from the one piece movie! Or just any of her music, they are all different. One of the few artists where I actually go for the vocals not just the music

[@gaara_of_the_desert1118]

To be fair I haven't listened to a lot of new music this year, but regardless, this is easily the best song I've heard all year.

[@chimeradev]

I don't think I'll be able to find anyone else give this much care to a song and actually explain the interesting things about it. Lovely work Tony, Keep it coming! :)

[@hatakegon5922]

I have been waiting for this reaction since I heard the song for the first time, its so good.

[@tyrallius-3581]

Sir, sir. I'm gonna need you to stop apologizing for going back on the song. Because every time you did, it just gave me another reason to fall in love with both this song and Ado. Hahaha! Dude, it's awesome how you've been geeking out like the rest of us to her music, she's seriously amazing and I love to see someone really dig into what makes her music great. HotDAMN her vocals are insanely good.

[@Rin_404]

Ado has released the official instrumental to this song and it's so insane to be able to clearly hear all the intricate parts of it. the sound design is truly incredible

[@levelbos6691]

[@lucasdefruita6429]

Ado amazing vocals as usual, Teddyloid and Giga killing it producing another banger

[@PROyaegerist]

ado is so good

[@ishtarrak13]

The live version of this is incredible as well - shows the true vocal strength of Ado. She hits all her parts even harder and edgy yet never loses vocal quality.

[@Daveystokhof]

This was one of the main songs at universal studios Japan during Halloween and my kids (students) will dance it during our Christmas Pageant so I am hearing it every day and I am still loving it❤

[@KingJH0510]

Show is probably my favorite song of 2023 Not only is it fun and upbeat to dance to but the vocals are easily the most difficult out of any ado song (source: ado herself) which makes it a great challenge to sing

[@methos4866]

Giga and Teddyloid always make heat when they work together and with FAKE TYPE on the lyrics and Ado on the mic there was never a chance this wouldn't be great.

[@acevanitas1143]

I'm so happy to see you reacting to this!! I've been waiting, this will be great

[@Zachattack1cub]

I've gotta be honest, I've binged this song for so many months now since it first dropped, and I'm still learning/hearing new things in it that I'd not noticed at first which makes me love it ever more! My current fave part of this song is that, at 1:41 in the original video, Ado rapid-fires off a little onomatopoeia wordplay in the "Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Moe!" part while adding her natural voice distortion, and bouncing back and forth between her head- and chest-voices with each syllable!!

[@LocTran-sc7mm]

any songs that Giga and teddy-loid touch are freaking bangers, throw Ado into it and this masterpiece is the result

[@zach99999]

I love this song and your breakdown was amazing, don't apologize for making it so long!

She is only 21! its insane! She does amazing work.

You don't need to apologize for any pause,if I just want to see a few people scream,I wouldn't choose to see a musician analyze it.

Ado as wells as the music producers Giga and TeddyLoid are a deadly combo. I highly recommend checking out their older song "Odo" with the same people

[@silis_pap8473]

This song is godlike! What a production. Ado is just pumping out banger after banger.

[@jadetaylor6093]

I love the transition in that clapping section. It starts in a flat, rap like verse, then she doubles her vocals up and the piano chords, brings the melody in, im not sure but maybe its in g? Just so cool.

[@flozbi4401]

Man I hardly comment on anything, like once every 1-2 months, but I enjoyed SO MUCH how, as a music director, you were so BLOWN AWAY by this masterpiece. Thanks for reacting and analyzing🙏

[@ConManAU]

While you were geeking out over the percussive rhythms in that middle section, I was loving how the melody switched from focusing on lots of smooth tone and semitone transitions to some amazingly sharp octave jumps.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Semitone transition and octave jump makes sense to me. What do you define as a "smooth tone" transition?

[@audreyholmes9751]

Not only that, but sometimes when the background or other objects in the current scene glitch? it sounds like an alarm or an air raid siren, it adds to the already building anticipation, and spikes it even further. So the when the beat drops it's even more satisfying!

I've just realized recently that ado's songs were mainly produced by Giga-p, one of the big producer of vocaloid genre Giga-p has this signature sound in his most songs like hand clap, and the word giga out of nowhere, so it's easily recognisable.

When I first heard this song I was like “I dunno if this is my thing” but then I paid attention to the details in it and realised it really is a banger. I then wondered “how am I going to convey this to my partner without him writing the song off as just another party song.” …a Tony video will do, methinks. 🤔

[@ikkue]

Kanji has two (types of) readings, the native Japanese kunyomi put on top of the borrowed Chinese characters, and the Chinese reading onyomi received from various periods of time that Chinese languages have evolved. The kanji used for this song, 唱, has an onyomi reading of "shō", which sounds like the English "show", but the kanji itself means "chant; recite; call upon; yell".

Is it like word play?

@@elenaekanathapetrova2282 It is wordplay! Japanese people love to make wordplays and puns, and the Japanese language using and having three scripts to write all with different purpose and nuance makes it so easy to do so.

Could it be that now you were finally abducted by Ado? I really love her, I think she's the best singer I've ever heard, absolutely perfect technique and interpretation, she seems like she's playing with the music and her voice. Ado is the representation of freedom in music. She sings anything, any style, always perfect and always surprising even her biggest fans. I don't know how much influence she has on the composition of the songs she performs, but she alone does what she does. It's simple, replace her with any other singer, the music changes completely. Another detail is that she seems to bring her soul to the music, the emotion she manages to convey is surreal. I recommend listening to the live version of Unravel, perhaps the best live interpretation I've ever seen.
