SOKONINARU - KURENAI - Ryan Mear Reacts

[@2abug]

8:28 Mikasa is a fictional character from Attack On Titans 😄 But since Misaki did bungee jumping, she should be able now to join the Special Operation Squad 😆

[@RyanMear]

Yep, I admitted I confused the names😄

[@CrowsRevenge1]

Fun thing is that the drummer that left in 2021 is usually the one recording these. Hes credited with a link in the description on each of the videos to his personal youtube. So they obviously still have a great relationship with him if he's still assisting behind the scenes.

[@RA57727]

Ryan, you did it again!!! I love Sokoninaru, but I had not heard this song. Thanks for the setup with X-Japan video beforehand. It just showed how talented and amazing Sokoninaru is. Wow!!

[@exit1368]

😎🔥 This is one song I will always listen ‘till the end - no matter who is playing. Great choice on including the X Japan Live on the Intro! RIP HIDE ❤️X❤️ WE ARE X!!!!

[@mlm5150]

This is another band that is on my bucket list to see! I hope one day they tour the US! It always amazes me how full they sound being just a three piece band!

[@RA57727]

I'll be in line as soon as they come to the U.S.

[@nobbynobbs207]

I don't think there are many rock bands from Japan who have not done Kurenai at least once, at least live. This is one of, if not the signature song for X-Japan, and probably the most well known metal/rock song in Japan. Cacharic Spin have it on their KZbin channel with two of the small kids in a kid band (seen that band both as the awesome kid band, mini mini kid band, etc.- think the bass girl is 7 in that one, and her brother on guitar 8, or 9).

[@michaelthain4488]

Great cover. They are all incredible musicians and you are correct Misaki's voice is lovely

[@maidthehormone]

All of their covers are insanely good...love Sokoninaru🤩

[@Kinashikun]

Nice reaction! 日本語字幕ありがとう🤘🦊💕

[@sammyboykin5624]

I just now noticed how her thumb never goes over the top of the neck.

[@davidcampbellii6342]

My goodness Ryan, the Last Live clips bring back so many memories. Hide was awesome, hard to believe its now been 25 years. The cover is stellar and your reaction is fantastic! 🤘 You know...perhaps you, Alan, and Wave could consider a cover of the song...maybe???? Digg'n the new subs. どうもありがとう

[@JuanSan66]

Damn, what a show! These guys have bribed the god of talent. What a riot in the drums!. Insanely good.

[@killiansred1000]

These people are nuts.

[@RA57727]

Nuts, in a wonderful way.😂😂

[@cholatse6745]

Sokoninaru is simply musical genius personified. Absolutely love this Band. With Band-Maid, Sokoninaru, GacharicSpin and Hiromi Uehara, I could survive musically until the end of my days I guess ... well let's add som Rory Gallagher and SRV to it for nostalgic reasons 🙂 Thanks, more Sokoninaru please, they also did a cool cover of Megitsune of Babymetal.

[@sammyboykin5624]

I've listened to nothing but Soko for about 3 months now. Every time I hear something new.

[@KB-hs4go]

Yes, once you get in tune with Soko, just want to repeat forever❤🎉

[@sammyboykin5624]

@@KB-hs4go Between them and Band Maid, my music card is full for the foreseeable future.

[@patrickmagrady3563]

Great cover. Nemophila's version is also excellent.

[@exit1368]

No contest, ❤️ them all - watch SHOW YAs live covers of this, too. 🔥🔥🔥

[@schelin1447]

X are legendary! Sokoninaru are becoming legendary, more than great musicians!

[@powbobs]

Love them so much.

[@niiru4336]

Wouldn't mind seeing a double header gig Sokoninaru and Asterism.

Kurenai by Classical & Rock Guitarist Ami Inoi ....🤘🎸: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iae3coyMmK-XqKs Classical : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIGpfIith6-KjdE

[@guitarandy2406]

This is definitely a Luna Sea tinged arrangement and then some, Juko's FX and phrasing-wise is channeling Sugizo's style more than hide, the bass tonally & in terms of melodic function is being used in similar way to J's with Luna Sea and the drum fills are more Shinya in style than Yoshiki. Luna Sea were effectively X-Japan's 'little brothers' kinda band starting out, hide mentored them and got them signed to Yoshiki's indie label for their first deal and these days Sugizo has also taken on the role of hide (RIP) in X-Japan. They had some similar influences but also were/are massively into the 80s shoegaze & psychedelic scene, so it makes sense for SOKONINARU to do an arrangement more in their style. Unfortunately the Nemophila rehearsal studio cover is the version of the song with full English lyrics that really hamstrung mayu vocally, they just don't flow nearly as smoothly as the original. Show-ya version is pretty good.

[@TheGlashare]

Aaah.. .Misaki's voice.. I can listen to her sing for hours on end (Absolutely nothing against Juko and Saito's voices either). Their instrumentals are always spectacular, but their vocal arrangements are always top notch too.

[@rocotocloc]

Yeah, this cover of Kurenai is pretty bonkers lol

[@fikriharswa1429]

Different tempo also, i think sokoninaru faster than original. Double bass and guitar solo ia dope

[@carlatapia9210]

Nueva seguidora este grupo me encanta soy fan, son unos genios gracias por la reacción

[@KB-hs4go]

Sokoninaru is a 3 piece band ….. really? They must be hiding other people😂 Amazingly talented 🎉

[@momok9263]

wow amazing 🤘 Maybe if you interested, try listen Raise of Sulien ( outsider rodeo ) and Roselia ( FIRE BIRD ) for next content. Another Japanese female rock, Unique and great performance 👌😁

[@muto4055]

I think I love this much more than the original :)

[@Miraie93]

Female japanese did it again. Crazyyyyyy

[@spinnymathingy3149]

Thanks for checking this version by SOKONINARU, brilliant,,,, but,,, NEMOPHILA did a better version of it, to me it is Nemofila best cover ever !!! On another note, for the absolute best SOKONINARU cover, by far, search “suspended 4th” (they mash up 3 songs, live in 1 take ) you will be speachless, even after watching it 10 times, there are no words to describe it 👍🇦🇺🤘

[@powbobs]

Nope

[@FabioMarzin-jt6zt]

Good cover, but i prefer NEMOPHILA style!

[@steveratcliffe2181]

Its really good but i prefer the power of the Nemophila and Show Ya versions.
