[@caitrose2198]

the fact that she doesn't feel the need to change her voice at all, that she's trans and shes not gonna even try to hide it cus she doesn't feel the need to, she's just gonna sing it out and not care, is soooooo important to me i love that this song mostly hangs out in tenor territory but flexes her whistle tones, its perfectly written for her voice

[@A--_--M]

Which would fit better for this song? Male voice or female voice? Me: Yes

[@Angel..L]

My favorite thing about Avu-Chan is they always sing the same song a bit differently from the studio version. The original version of this song isn’t orchestral. Some parts will be higher and more aggressive than the original and it’s always so cool to hear. I think their Song “Fire” comes to mind . 1St take, live,studio are all great and slightly different in how the words are sung.

[@corenisveryconfused]

And in some songs she changes up the lyrics sometimes ! I like Avu's lives best because of that It's a performance on every level and pulls you in

[@toshi-chi8166]

avu chan is one of the most unique singers in japan, she refers to her style as a punk rock

[@Katriinka]

oh I see, it fits well with the genre!

[@girlgroceries]

she's referred to it as fashion punk in the past ! cute term

[@raccoonchild]

​@@girlgroceries Now THIS actually makes sense. I guess OP has never heard punk rock in their life.

[@girlgroceries]

@@raccoonchild to be fair a lot of their earlier stuff is punk/noise rock.... but mephisto definitely isn't lmao. it's probably their most typical j-rock-sounding single to date

@@bergkatze3186 true. Theyve now been on first take 3 times though I feel like people (outside of Japan) are just waking up to QB. Like lots of anime fans have heard the music but don’t know it

the singer is called avu-chan (theyre actually openly trans and use she/they pronouns !!) and the guitarist is hibari-kun , also a member of queen bee !

thank you so much :)

[@sandpaperunderthetable6708]

Never understood the people who complain about pausing. Like, if you don't want the pausing, just go watch the original????

[@Lunasera]

Avu-chan has an incredible range and quality. When the anime came out there was a youtuber reacting to this song and he was wondering why the opening got so many covers and english covers while this ending hardly got any. I believe it's because this range is quite intimidating to tackle and few can manage. The covers that are here on youtube hardly reach that range and while they are not bad, they are nowhere near as good. With other songs covers canoften match the quality, some might even sound better depending on preferences of the listener. But this song is a statement that is really hard to pull off.

[@yj-mero397]

このお姉さんも歌うますぎてびっくりした

[@nyutomatito6845]

Ever since The first take’s video came out I like forward to seeing vocal coaches react to Avu-chan but all I got were people saying how amazing their voice is and that’s it. So seeing you break the song info techniques, truly appreciating every single detail they put when singing warmed my heart, so thank you so much for this, it’s truly amazing to see Avu-chans vocal range and variety brought out by such an amazing coach like you!

[@rimurutempest6170]

I love seeing someone who actually knows their stuff like you reacting to her singing, I've always found her singing impressive and it's really cool to see an actual professional on the matter also agrees

[@user-ii6gk9ue1x]

こうやって色んな人が女王蜂の音楽に触れてるところを観れるの嬉しい☺️❤️

[@rinz5027]

What is also great with this song is, the title is called Mephisto which is a rather dark theme to it, and her performance perfectly encapsulates that darkness to it. Even the lyrics also reflects it when translated to english. Considering this is used in the popular anime Oshi no Ko which is a rather dark anime too, it all just fits in place.

[@eliasprint7677]

The lyrics. combined with the plot of the series and that voice gives me chills in a positive way

[@kupo3569]

omg you've finally reacted to QUEEN BEE !!!!! I was lucky enough to see them live in Japan and honestly, Avu-chan is one of the best performers I've ever seen. Her charisma and technique are amazing and she has such an ability to captivate her audience. I hope you will react to more of their performances !!

[@redkarma6636]

Can you react to Miyashita Yuu, Wozwald? His voice range is crazy high. He has such an enchanting voice. I feel like you woukd enjoy it a lot

[@loki2715]

[@venerac2759]

This performance was so good! The theatrical aspects made it so engaging and I love to learn from you just how they create those effects and emotions. Thanks Kat! 🔥

[@techi4584]

so excited for you to react to her other first take performances!

[@cylexia]

was super excited for this video!! glad you enjoyed their performance!!

[@entreases]

I loved seeing your amazement with Avu-chan's control and aesthetics as well! I've been obcessed about the Queen Bee and it's delightful to see someone put into words why the performance is so good.

[@jmaikeru]

Love to see my recent favorite song reacted by my favorite reactor❤ both of them are amazing!

[@21units]

Just watching her perform in this video is so hypnotizing. I can't imagine how amazing of an experience it would be to see the band perform live

[@eljonathan8962]

Thank you for reacting I was looking forward to it

[@SerMon22]

Finally! I've been watching at reactions to this video, and everyone says "the whole orchestra". One would expect musicians to identify this is just a string quartet. Thank you.

[@HopeeInk]

Avu chan is that girl. They have such a variety that even the same song never sounds the same, you can hear their mood and the emotions they wanna portray that specific day. It’s extremely theatrical on the sense that they have the ability in their voice to make it exactly sound like they want and it’s amazing. I love Avu Chan so much, such a talented singer and performer

[@anon-vk9du]

Queen Bee is soooo worth reacting!!! I was extra shook with their first take version for Mephisto to the point I've been switching to the first take ver than the studio one😂😂 also it surprises me that you haven't reacted to Fujii Kaze yet!!! if you will, pls react to his Shinunoga E-wa performance at Nippon Budokan or Matsuri performance at Panasonic Suita

[@prod.thxmxs6431]

We neeeed that flame/fire reaction from Queen Bee

[@zero2champion419]

I would love if you reacted to the MV for this song it tells an entire story and I love what they do with the song that I don't want to spoil the secret.

[@ceska_cheesecake]

I really love your reactions especially the first take videos, and I was just taking a look on their account recently and found out that one of the singers I idolize sang there, and I just have the thought that you'd like her, her name is Reol and I've been listening to her songs from when I was still in highschool, and I would love to see your reaction to her singing, if it's alright to you that is, and if you have time. Either way thank you for doing reactions like this, I've learned a lot from it hehe❤

[@xotai]

Yesssssss! Reol is such an inspiration and would to see a reaction to Reol’s first take video!!!!

[@mungethekpopstan]

I kept seeing this all over my tiktok and finally checked it out. So glad I did! Avu-chan is an incredible vocalist!

歌っているのは女王蜂というバンドのヴォーカルアヴちゃんです。性別、年齢、血液型、生まれた星座などこの世にある概念は無意味であるという考え方をもっています。 また、女王蜂というバンドはこの世に対して怒りの感情を持って作ったバンドであるとアヴちゃんは言っていました。 彼だとか彼女だとか関係なくアヴちゃんはアヴちゃんとして、1人の人間として認めてもらいたいという気持ちがあったのだと思います。

Chaotic thinking like that is simply irresponsible and weak. No need to call your flaws and lack of commitment an identity. It's just terrorism.

[@berserker788]

Great reaction video! I'm surprised your channel doesn't have anything about Fujii Kaze yet, who's (maybe?) the most popular rising male singer in Japan. It would be very interesting to hear your vocal analysis of Fujii Kaze's "Shinunoga E-Wa", specifically the live version at Nippon Budokan.

I love this song so much and your reaction that I just watched it again and will be commenting over my last comment below, once again hopeful that you would watch the MV and speak to the lyrics of the song. I believe Avu-Chan put her all into this song, channeling a deep souled spirit of emotions and channeling, personifying the meaning behind this song.

[@nhiedre]

I've also been blown away by Queen Bee and I'm quite surprised of those comments stating the they are they, the commenter already used the proper pronoun for the singer :) I happily come from a language that does not push these gender pronouns all over the place, we have words for he/she etc that are not gender specific. So we can really just normally talk about a person without automatically asigning a gender to that person. Quite a few languages are like that. Japanese in some way included, altho their approach (as far as I understand) is to either use the persons name or some sort of abstract "they" unless is it's absolutely clear who they are talking about. Or a title or some such.

Hi, i'm not sure if you were aware, but just fyi, Avu (the singer) is a trans woman who uses she/her pronouns.

[@Timotarius_]

not sure if it was a mistake on your part but im pretty sure the singer of Queen Bee is not reffered to as "he" but i totally understand you didnt mean to misgender. sources say the correct ones are She and they. sources are less clear on if she is non binary or a trans woman cause she has never really publically stated her gender.

[@dogmuncher_69]

No offence but transgender isn’t a thing. You can’t change your gender. She’s female because she was born female.

[@Skyuni98]

i think it's safe to just refer to their singer as avu-chi since i see most use the names when referring to avu-chi

[@aMereHooman]

umm, but she referred avu-chan as 'they' tho

[@martini7845]
