Vocal Coach reacts to YOASOBI 群青 THE FIRST TAKE

[@genegenesis3010]

The song is generally about individualism, finding one's own uniqueness from your passion. For me, it's a very inspiring song as an undergraduate as I'm still searching and struggling in my studies.

[@oreki4746]

I relate so much with your comment ._. I was obsessed with Gunjou last year (was in year 1 undergraduate). That was when I was struggling with studying and catching up with lectures (not that im not struggling this year lol) and during the hardest time, I was looking at Gunjou's lyrics and I suddenly started to cry without realising.

[@genegenesis3010]

@@oreki4746 It is exactly the same experience with me. I’m happy to know there are people like us inspired by the song itself.

[@PUETmusic]

Just do the thing you love and have a happy life 🤤

goodluck! :)

That's one of the uniqueness of japanese songs. They deliberately make happy sounding music with sad lyrics. That's the art, and I love songs like these.

Yess, LiSa Homura from the first take also give goosebumps

[@angeldavidpinango4914]

Yoasobi defines itself as a band that turns stories and novels into songs. This specific song is for the blue period anime. and is about the protagonist's difficulties in making his way in the world of art and how to find his essence and the place to which he belongs despite all the difficulties and problems that follow his passion for art entails. art. although I have always thought that this song is perfect to define Ikura lilas, the vocalist of Yoasobi, since her story is that of a girl who sang in the streets and attended hundreds of auditions and despite all the rejections she did not give up and She is now a world-renowned artist. just a wonderful girl...!❤❤

[@steblatipaymanyazeeds.1294]

The serious and sad lyrics to an upbeat tune is really common for YOASOBI songs, they do this to convey sad feelings with a strong impact, like the song is shouting what it really feel and what it is trying to convey, and most of those feelings is sad in YOASOBI songs. They aim to inspire those who are experiencing this sad emotions mentioned in the lyrics and give them some sort of energy to stand

[@ranggaadhi9440]

This was my 1st yoasobi's song and i become a fan in a heartbeat. Their music is so gooooood!

[@a-2-z856]

This my first song for yoasobi as well.. and i search for their song after that..hahaha

[@jayvhoncalma3458]

Mine was Yoru ni Kakeru

[@squiddy_bee]

I think a lot of joyful-sounding songs bear a sad but hopeful nuance. They end up moving us because they make us think of a person who is trying to break away from whatever is holding them back and the soaring melody communicates those ambitions and hope as it rises. I understand that you guys are listening to the vocals and trying to react as much as you can to the song but I do think if you give it a couple more seconds, you can hear that ambiguity in the melody itself. The song encourages the listener and seeks to inspire us.

[@MasterJ30]

I loved the Chorus!

[@anonymous-in5fp]

Also the fact that she's just 20-21, still such singing

[@dooshmasta]

The context of the song is a manga / anime called Blue Period and it’s about a soon to be high school graduate who is pretty good at academics, but have not decided on a major and one day finds himself becoming attracted to art. He’s a beginner but chooses to dedicate his senior year to pursue getting into art school, and he experiences doubt, struggle, illness, and much more to get to the point where he feels ready to compete with his collègues who have been doing art for much longer. This song captures the feeling and even moments of the show in such a poetic way Ayase is an incredible songwriter.

[@dooshmasta]

Also, Gunjo is the color ultramarine, and in the story, the character paints Shibuya at dawn where the buildings have a blue hue to his eye, and is successful at conveying it to others who understand what he was trying to communicate, and this first painting becomes the trigger to follow a future in art. When the color blue shows up in the lyrics, it’s a reference to what he felt when he made the painting and the commitment to the path he has chosen.

[@ronnieketchum1241]

For everyone who was praising Ikura san's voice, OFC she deserves it. She IS the voice of YOASOBI. But man, the composer! The Composer is just next to her man!

[@ihsubad69]

日本語ではmusicを「音を楽しむ」と書いて「音楽」と呼ぶけど、これだけ楽しんで聴いてるreactionは正に音楽ですね！観ていて気持ち良い♪

[@JOHN-ng9xw]

that song is like an Anime song

[@Urufii]

This is the uniqueness of Japanese songs, the lyrics can be completely depressing or sad, but the music itself can sound super upbeat and exciting. Which is why it becomes a completely different experience (a lot more emotional) when you know Japanese and listen to Japanese songs.

[@-imtooawesome-2591]

It's a complete dichotomy from the music and lyrics 😂

[@clydeines8548]

The music of Gunjou isn't rlly sad tho

The ”monster” by Yoasobi is also great。 I also hope you to react “Homura” by LiSA（the first take）。It made me cry every time I heared it。 The singer “Ado” is one of my favorites。She is crazy！

[@bright_lion_films]

Bruh have you tried yama or ReoNa anyways Reol’s boy album is pretty great I can’t believe you only knew Homura and monster 三原色 is pretty great too. Try my suggestion it’s great.

[@noakinn]

they should also listen to yorushika. my all time favourite band

Great video! Great Channel!

[@xenorayy]

Common trope in YOASOBI's songs is a banger song with depressing lyrics. Really recommend you listen to more of the duo's songs, they're incredible with very consistent quality in their pieces, both from the trooper producer Ayase and the beautiful vocalist Ikura.

[@nhr3107]

When I first heard her voice I thought it was a V idol, you know, not a real voice, because her pitch and sound is perfect! Sounds fake because it's very good! I then searched more of her and I love it all! Now I admire her so much!

I love the First Take! Performers on the first take are allowed only one take on their recording, whether they get it right or not. Yoasobi did a fantastic job. Please also react to their song Yasashii Suisei (gentle comet) also on the first take. It’s a sad but very beautiful song 🎶..

[@蘇睿淳-d1v]

Yoasobi's another song ,moshimo inochi ga kaketara, is also a sad story in joyful beats, but the combination between plots and music is more excellent. Recommended. Additionally, Yoasobi is a group transforming novels into songs. Ayase, the composer, and Ikura, the singer, are the main members.

[@whuangjaison6931]

I think the reason the song is "happy", because the main character in the story(yes they wrote the song from a novel which turned to an anime as well), was about to step out for the first time with blue color and he start to see his world with colors from the blue, instead of colorless.

[@Seissmo]

[@kawaiitomato9560]

Japanese songs usually have happy music even though the lyrics are about some dark sad thing. There's even a meme about this :)))

[@門奈泉-s9t]

In Japan, rock music is still very popular and there are so many bands. Many women are also in bands. One of the most popular female groups is "Band-Maid", whose popularity overseas is even greater than in Japan. It would be great if you could react to their "DOMINATION". Please send me requests from Japan.

[@gabrielzuniga6815]

Please react to the song "Shout Baby" on The First Take. You will be amazed by the singer`s a capella singing.

Japanese songs nowadays typically use very happy chords and tones to sing sad lyrics and vice versa. Or they could even use minor chords and make it sound happy but still sing sad lyrics

[@権兵衛-e8u]

Please listen to Shiina Ringo! She is a female musician who has had a decisive influence on Japanese music, and YOASOBI has been influenced by her. Her band Tokyo Jihen is also highly recommended. It's hard to pick just one, as the songs she writes transcend all genres, but we'd recommend her most famous, "Marunouchi Sadistic"! also my most favourtite song of her is "The narrow way" and "Kamisama Hotokesama"

[@joshuacapuyon4609]

Ayase really love to put different kinds of beat in one song. Like usually he put at least 4 beats changes.

[@kei.i6921]

It's a good reaction. Your smile is beautiful. Next time, please listen to Mika Nakashima's (Yuki no Hana First Take).

[@anjasrendra]

You all should see "PLUSONICA" they are the Chorus in that video. And Ikura is one of the former member there. Sadly Ikura just graduated from there after become a member from 2017. yeah maybe she just want to more focus on Yoasobi from now.

[@qianse22]

This is also one on the first take but you should listen to Saikai which was produced by Ayase (guy who produced this one and was on keyboards) and sung by LiSA and Uru.

[@spada..]

If you guys think this song is good, you should check out the anime called Blue Period. This song is based on that anime, so it's very interesting to see the similarities between the lyrics and the song. From a YOASOBI fan in Japan
