Thanks for watching 💙 Here’s my jumpstart singing lesson on Singr for those who want to learn - appreciate you hanging with me on YT 🙏🏼 singr.tv/justin

[@KeysOfMyMind]

Does it teach you to PAUSE a performance when you wanna talk about something?

[@dsan17]

You should react to clips of her live concert and see how epic those are.

[@dannypohlmann2411]

you guys should really react to "gurenge" aswell to really feel the power of her voice

[@darklord2222]

Ikr... This song was meant to be rigid, gurenge is the power house

[@powbobs]

They will freak out on that one.

[@baby_mochi7187]

Right. You really should, the live of gurenge is so amazing, like her grit and power will definitely shine through in that song.

[@kpopismylifeuuu9522]

I was going to say the same thing 😂

[@margaritacoutinojimenez8187]

Yes 🥰🥰🥰

[@NHPFan1]

Lisa is a veteran and extremely experienced vocalist. Her voice is so versatile if you listen to her records. She's very intentional with the way she sings to tell the story of her songs.

[@jumbeaux1]

The lyrics is deeply philosophical about losing someone. The way she sang reminds you of the same emotions that the main protagonist in Demon Slayer felt during the climactic scene in the movie that this OST is referring to. Sadness, anger and determination. She is the best anime OST singer.

[@Jooca03]

also I think this was during or after she divorced her husband who was cheating on her so it has to resonate somewhat with that.

[@xo4709]

Yes

[@AstroIsWatching]

the song still makes me cry :(

[@0neyetmany-0]

@@Jooca03 i think this was before that

[@UMadUCauseBad]

@@Jooca03 who the fuck would cheat on LiSA....are they fucking crazy?!?

[@SparkShining423]

Sorry for broken english: It's sad that when she toke this video, she had a marital problems with her husband. That was the most painful and difficult time in her life. Then she toke emotion and energy to her job and stay alive under high stress. She was the most strong-hearted I've known.

[@ToraBalthumanS]

True

[@sarcastism637]

Japanese singers are completely insanely insane in their own whole. They are in their own class. For me my favs are LiSA, Ado, Kenshi Yonezu. All are so great.

[@Zi4_Tin4]

Try to listen Aimer "zankyou sanka" from Demon Slayer entertainment district and TK "Unravel" from Tokyo Ghoul (the anime opening version for me is the best but there is also the first take if you want) 😊

[@MasterofPlay7]

i love mika san

[@kevinrafaelriverabueso1419]

There is another song from her in this same show, called "Gurenge". In this other song she flips entirely all the things she does, and a variety of tones and vocal tricks are used there. You can't miss it, the performance is as charming and awesome as in this song.

[@danchoi5425]

Lisa is one of my favorite Japanese singer and hopefully you react more of her singing 💜

[@antonialeal4119]

Japanese music is just so emotional and touching, is totally diferent from the music we used to listening, the swing the time the tone of voice, is just unique and different, You should listen more of the firts take saga! Lisa is the best!!

[@ZeyTheGamer09]

I think you mean Japanese

[@mimagp3179]

that's the thing i love the most about Japanese music. You may not understand the lyrics, but the melody always take your soul away and you feel like you understand the feeling just by hearing the dynamics of the notes and instrument

[@mr.dirtydan3338]

I wouldn't say it's totally different. Yoi can find a lot of similarities between early 2000s punk/emo and j rock

[@wknolly941]

she sang with tension and compression throughout the song.. it is emotional and she conveyed desperate, pain and anger indeed but on the other hand we felt sense of tired... she definitely took the song personally and almost cry at the end of the song

[@belenquintero3019]

Lisa has an excellent vocal range and I personally love her songs. I hope you keep reacting to it you won't be disappointed... one of the most popular songs on the first take is "Gurenge"

[@ivee3338]

Yassss!!! Finally Lisa!!! I've been requesting about her for ages now and I'm so happy you finally reacted to her!!

[@ほののの-p2x]

As a fan of LiSA in Japan, I'm so happy to see her commentary and introductions like this! I would be very happy if you could introduce her song "Catch the moment" on the same KZbin page!

[@hangingtree9637]

The first take channel is amazing, I recommend you to watch more from the channel. Japanese music industry is really diverse, and the first take got some of the best to perform there. Thank you for the reaction as always

[@aprilsarah9238]

Whenever I listened to Homura sang by Lisa, my tears just tearing down. I can feel the pain by the song and Lisa is such a wonderful and amazing singer. Thank you for reacting to her.

[@danielturchan4092]

I’m so glad when someone else realized how well she just plain ROCKS. LiSA is a fantastic singer, straight up

[@harper8918]

After all the notifications that this channel has sent only this has caught my attention. Glad you loved it it's actually a theme song for the sacrifice of a swordsman to save his two alies and then this sacrifice was the driving force of the other swordsman to finish their mission no matter how injured, hurt, how many died and it all paid off because in the end they were victorious and the line "kokoro o moyase" is probably the most iconic. Edit: oh and also Homura means "flame" or "fire"

[@bibekdebnath7369]

Rip rengoku. 😭

[@kiyokotokito3628]

R.I.P Kyojuro Renguko our beloved flame hashira🔥😭😭

[@aranduriel11]

what's best about homura is that not only does it mean flame which we can see the obvious link to rengoku, the flame pillar, but the word also means a heart that is fulled by strong emotions and desire, which we could see by Rengoku's desire to protect the people on the train and his belief that the fledgings he protects (the protagonist trio) will eventually soar through the sky and protect people just like him (nezuko included)

[@brisacelayes818]

Homura is one of my favorite songs ever, and knowing the context of it from demon slayer also adds to the pain that song makes you feel lol. Incredible singing as always, Lisa is one of the most talented singers out there in my opinion. I would really recommend you guys to listen to the first take of "Gurenge" from Lisa as well, love your content!

[@introverted_mixmasher]

Since you guys have gone to the First Take which is a rabbit hole in finding amazing singers, here's my suggestions: More LiSA - unlasting, Gurenge, Catch The Moment Reona - Niji no Kanatani Masayuki Suzuki - DADDY! DADDY! DO and GIRI GIRI Ryokuoushoku Shakai - Shout Baby I hope you check them out as well!

[@juxqe]

yaosobi !

[@Mismark82]

This song touches so many of my heart's strings I always find myself in tears, with goosebumps and slightly trembling just by listening to her voice. I don't know if you know about her personal feelings behind this song (she says something after the end of the song and I think it's related to her ex husband cheating on her) but you can clearly tell this song means a lot to her, too. I love her voice since 2009, she keeps getting better and better. LiSa is incredible to me.

[@joaniewwh3502]

i'm quite familiar with technicalities that's why i also enjoy this channel. i was in a choir. but as a band vocalist when i was younger, i leaned more towards raw singing... sometimes when you go too technical, the performance can be close to perfect but also a little less emotional... this is why i love lisa and especially this performance... how can someone be this talented and creative to make each note that's in a phonetic language always sound interesting and captivating... each syllable! her singing pierces my soul. please do her gurenge performance too. 💜

[@abbiec3687]

LISA did a first take of her song called "catch the moment" and it has completely the opposite feel of this song. It would be interesting to see your reaction to it.

[@jordangrail9639]

I cry every time I hear Lisa sing. Our Goddess 😩

[@TheOniraf]

I feel you, life is hard but we keep on fighting!

[@奥木敏行]

I like SAIKAI which is also in "the first take" as a LiSA's performance. I would be happy if you could react. SAIKAI is a duet with a singer named Uru, and they recorded the song separately, so this "The first take" was not only the first time they sang together, but also the first time they saw each other. HOMURA was very moving at the end of the song, but the performance in SAIKAI made me feel happy. It is a song that shows a completely different side.

[@shicelle635]

Yay finally! 😍 can you also pls react to one of the best male singer in Japan, Taka from One Ok Rock. He covered the song Hello by Adele. Or you can react to him singing Renegades piano version.

[@that_anime_music_gaming_fan]

You should definitely check out a lot more from THE FIRST TAKE. There's no shortage of incredible performances on there.

[@hedaayah]

Finally. I've been waiting for this for so long. I don't know how many times did I recommend this to you..

[@carine8535]

You guys just NEED to see her performance of "Gurenge" at First Take too (I hope y'all understand, I'm still learning)

[@ghiblikami5329]

When Lisa says Sayonara in the beginning, Rengoku comes to my mind first thing and then instant goosebumps!! I guess I'm never getting over Rengoku's death. 😭😭😭

[@lilldea]

This song, as others pointed out, is used in a anime movie for Demon Slayer. Even though I had heard the song before watching the movie and thinking it was good, it just came alive when I watched the movie. It made me cry and I just sat there taking in the lyrics on a whole different level.

I like how you guys were expecting/ waiting for her to go either wail the next vocal or she was building up to a huge crescendo, only for her to pull back a bit and go in a different direction. The surprise on your faces was great and I love the fact that she surprised you with that.

[@shadowtheimpure]

This song always makes me cry, there is so much raw emotion in it.

[@hao9631]

Man you have to watch the anime and you'll understand why is this song so tense. I literally cried on first listen of this version (after watching the anime) This is actually much more touching than the original MV because of the raw live emotion she put in. She mentioned that there's alot going on in her life, (not gonna say much about it) but there's so much hurdles in her life around this time and ppl around her. Normal person would've break down but she use that as a strength and create this masterpiece.

[@sumitpradhan9207]

Ikr I was in the theatres controlling my tears and then this song played

[@MrHehaaw]

The fun thing about The First Take is that the artists only given once chance to sing the song, whether they make mistake or sing it perfectly, it will be all in the video.

[@TheHeroRobertELee]

I have my degree in piano performance, so I don't know a whole bunch about singing. But I do know a lot about music. I listen to a lot of Japanese music and one thing I've noticed, and you notice it here with LiSA and her vocal melodies, js that they have the most unique, interesting, and enjoyable melodies ever. I'm not sure where all the interesting melody writing comes from in Japan, but it's so different than anything else you hear around the world and so damn enjoyable to listen to.

[@hayek218]

Whose melodies do you like from Japan apart from Lisa?

The song 'Homura' was co-written by Yuki Kajiura , who is considered a master in the Japanese anime music world, and LiSA. And there is a group that Ms Kajiura organised himself in pure pursuit of musicality. The group is called KALAFINA, which has overwhelming singing ability and high musicality. All of the group's songs are provided by Ms Kajiura. The following is very similar to the image of this song, so I am sure you will like it.

[@architbanerjee9500]

Pls also react to Gurenge by Lisa..

[@clausstudioproduction]

the delivery of this song is just that perfect so even a mistake is adding the salt to the wound, for example, the 2nd phrase of the chorus, 1st chorus she's using falsetto, and at the final chorus she's using chest voice which add the emotional damage to those who watch the anime and understand the lyrics. plus speaking of the composition of this song is out of this world imo. the modulations are insanely perfect for the lyrical journey. and after the 2nd verse, the music goes into interlude instead of chorus with 5 semitone modulation just.... perfect
