MUSIC DIRECTOR REACTS | Minami "Hollowness"

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

⏩ Video Question: What is your favorite Minami song??? For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony

[@Immensity0O]

My fav is "Waiting for Rain". The last one released "Good Lucker" is awfully dope as well

[@sendisaputra3819]

My favorite is Lilac and Drop for sure, the lyric is very deep

[@anonymous-wu9md]

waiting for rain for me

[@LongXue]

Def Honest Diary

[@objectobject410]

I love all of her songs but I'd say Honest Diary left the biggest impact on me. And then there are also some of her other older, more acoustic songs, where it's just her singing, playing the guitar, where she sings live versions on her livestreams, and they just hit on a completely different level, just because how much the focus lies on her absolutely amazing vocals, so a live performance of Water Reflection is also up there for me. So I'd say in general it's mainly songs where it's really about her going all out and focusing on her vocals, which is more the case with lots of her older songs, especially performed live a few years later where really improved with her singing.

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

Minami's vocals really pack a punch all the time. Her own voice and how she uses it is just so damn good and filled with emotion

[@Sarge23]

The way she uses her breath like a guitar scratch is always so good

[@abhiswarakumbhare5468]

Yes! I can't even try and come near that, and I've tried so many times!!

[@bellona621]

[@MrShagification]

More Minami please, she's my favorite female vocalist. Any track is fine, but maybe ”konomachi ni hare wa konai" or ”Main Actor". And from what I've seen, Minami writes most of her stuff with a guitar.

[@vignesh306]

You forgot DROP my man

[@calistusjay60]

DROP, Lilac and Main Actor are a must

[@Taru1393]

Im shouting here saying: “WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW MINAMI IS HER OWN SONGWRITER! SHE BASICALLY DOES THE MUSIC, LYRICS N MUSIC ARRANGEMENTS OF HER SONGS!!” I wanted to see your reaction when you know that she did everything herself and how amazing she is! Yes she has people play each instrument but she composed it and if I am not wrong she plays bass and piano but not for this song. She was around 20-21 when she made this! Lately the newest songs has not only her but the bass guitarist arrange together. if Im not wrong she still does songwriting it all herself. Tbh I only like “hollowness” and “crying for rain” the most. her newest songs dont hit as much like those 2.

[@ImaLk64]

lets go, this song is SO underated ! 30M views isnt even enought for a talent like this, this is my fav song from her and it hit hard everytime i listen to it

[@Amorak1234]

This is my favourite Minami song! I just love how passionate she sounds in all her music

[@atharvakarawade9054]

FINALLY !! Dude I really want you to react to ALL of her songs, Especially Lilac, Waiting for rain and Main Actor. They are straight up bangers!

[@Tessegg]

Ahh I love main actor. However with minami songs I think vocals and lyrics are the best part of the music (ofc the rest is amazing too). But I think tony focuses more on the background instead of the lyrics most of the time

[@Sckeza]

I love DROP, Waiting for rain, Main Actor, Hollowness, just their whole discography is genuinely mind-blowing to me.

[@abhiswarakumbhare5468]

After Hollowness, Lilac is my personal favourite, followed by recent drop and even recent blue grass

[@Denovis]

Yes! Sadly there is not enough content from Minami on KZbin, i love her voice and all stuff she makes. Great reaction, i loved it!

Thanks man :) yeah she is still so underrated outside of japan :/

[@aidangoodwin7031]

Minami is easily one of the most talented singer/song writers around. Great to see you react to her.

[@RevnaVarea]

Haven't heard this song before, that ending gave me chills for a second, just wow.

[@KingPandeh]

Yup! It’s the same artist for the Domestic Girlfriend opening, she’s one of my favorite japanese artists and I would recommend listening to a couple more of her songs like “Main Actor” or “Waiting For Rain.”

[@Chocobooo92]

Holy moly! I let my guard down for a second and almost cried. The music is great, but it's the vocals that blow me away the most. It floods with emotions like a tsunami. I absolutely love this song! Definitely one of my favourite japanese vocalist. Thanks to you I can appreciate that song even more.

[@onlygameplay134]

She is literally the most beautiful sounding female vocal I ever heard... The fact she is not well known everywhere outside the anime community is just a crime against art and humanity...

[@hazimroslan260]

OMG, I'm very excited for this

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

this one took me out at the end

[@danielduarte6802]

OMG YES MY FAVOURITE, THANK YOU! I even discovered her music thanks to you man 🙏. You, Minami and Zutomayo have probably been the most entertaining artists I've found this year

[@falkarios2944]

Glad you really appreciated this song for what it is, great input and breakdown. I'm blown away by the emotion Minami delivers in her vocals.

[@keydmon]

minami es por mucho de las mejores voces que he escuchado y elegiste una excelente canción, muy bueno tu video y análisis

[@objectobject410]

Thank you for this. Minami has been my favorite artist since I first found her 4 years ago, but this reaction and analysis made me go through her songs again with a new added perspective and fall in love with all of them all over again. I'm really happy to see how much you appreciate this song, and it made me in turn appreciate all of her songs even more.

[@sushi_bea1448]

I always love watching your video because you always point out some things that i always didn't notice and make me listen to music in different way

Its really entertaining to see your detailed breakdown and opinions bit by bit. The enjoyment you're getting out of the song as you do this is obvious and I'm glad that more people can appreciate how talented of an artist Minami is. She is criminally underrated despite all the love she gets.

[@psychotherabbit5997]

Got lucky to hear KAWAKI WO AMEKU randomly in a video back in the beginning of January/2019, before was make the anime song (that i had no interest to watch). After that ive immediately search for more songs and completely fell in love with her music. The way she writes her lyrics and songs are already outstanding but her voice is just out of this world. I, personally, never heard anyone translate the emotions of the song with such perfection like she does. For me, is all around the most perfect MV ive ever seen. The animation, the melody, the instruments, the lyrics and her voice just makes u feel all those emotions as if u were there. Pure magic.

[@Todo_akaicyhot]

OK. Let's gooo. I remember requesting this song a couple of days ago and seeing this vid just made my day. This song is so underrated and it deserves as much love as crying for rain, or maybe even more. I do have another request. Can you react to all the Banana Fish openings and endings? They are so good and extremely underrated. You're definitely gonna love them

[@cassiusbrutius]

Minami and ReoNa are two newest and wonderful Japanese singer that I love so much. They will shine more. ReoNa doing great and will do better.

[@bandanotes]

This is my favorite song from my favorite japanese female vocalist ...♠️373♠️... Thanks for that react!!👊

[@official_ninjadoc]

I must say really in-depth reaction (some thing you pointed out I hadnt really noticed like the guitar in the background almost sounding like a chorus) also combined with some normal "human" reactions (which are usually missing from musicians reacting) and all that for one of my favourite songs. This song is too unknown and you have my "like and subscribe"! There are also layers of meaning in this song in the lyrics and the visuals. This song alone also deserves a story analysis. Mostly at the end, begging to try one more time and then the voices in the background with her other self and in the end trying to strangle in the end strangling her own self. My god is this song powerful.

[@yook1341]
