About Kioshi Warrior:
Meet Maya Tomlin a.k.a KioshiWarrior! She's had MANY life experiences and she's sharing them with you! She LOVES pop culture and reacting to new music, tv shows, movies and more. She's multi-talented and can't wait to give you EVERY OUNCE of your life!
I can't pick favorites honestly...I love the whole thing, but stream STFU, XS, Akasaka Sad and Love Me 4 Me for clear skin.
KioshiWarrior the taste that you exuded in this and the video is beyond impeccable
React to summer walkers ep and shes dropping a music vid on thursday
Your taste is IMMACULATE
There's also a Japanese bonus track "Tokyo Takeover" - you should listen ❤
omggggg i cried when u took a walk after stfu lmaooooooo
i love u thank u for this video !!!!!!!
😂 Love you so muchhhhh!
OMG RINA ILYSM ❤️
Queen 💕💕
LOVE YOU QUEEEEEEEEEEN
My fave reaction channel reacting to my fave artist. RINA CMON REP US LONDONERS!!
You're absolutely right about Snakeskin, btw, it quotes the victory fanfare from Final Fantasy!
BRATZ AND MYSCENE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD YES LOL I thought I was alone omg
i just listened to this album and i thought it was (for lack of a better term) *dope as fuck* so i wanted to see what other people thought of it and honestly YOURE LIKE. SO LIKABLE ITS KIND OF INCREDIBLE? like watching this reaction was just about as enjoyable as listening to the album itself which NEVER happens so like kudos man
Thank you so much 😩✨
LOVE that you finally reacted to Rina!! Pleeeeease do reactions for all her music videos!!
you should try the harmonizing challenge/game with ur sister!
Rina has writer credits on every song and that's why we stan.
sometimes artists don’t write they’re songs and i think it’s ok (ex: Rihanna ✨ don’t write most of her songs) Some musicians are good performers and don’t write well and that good as long as they don’t pretend to write all their songs (like Drake 😣)
@@MYayoyayo she wrote all the songs its in her documentary on her youtube page and it took her almost 2 years to finish the album
@@Thibow_Nova i never said that she didn’t ahah i think that’s really impressive ! and we can see that because the album is very personal
@@Thibow_Nova they never said she didn’t write them or anything, they’re just saying that writing doesn’t always make a performer the best, as in, performers who don’t write are still valid.
can we get into the first four tracks?
Dynasty tackles generational struggles she's trying to break.
XS is her speaking in first person whilst mocking people's ideas of success. Shitting on materialism and capitalism, basically.
STFU is about the sleuth of stereotypes / micro-aggressions that people (mostly men) pin on women of color.
Comme Des Garçons ( Like The Boys ) is her poking fun at men and the toxic way they carry themselves, successful or not. It's also named after a clothing store for women, I believe? don't hold me to that, I could be wrong. 😅
this album has LAYERS. ugh, Rina gave us what we needed.
PERIOD.
And the way you can connect Dynasty to XS because Captialism can play a huge role in affecting generations
@@kamronwashington And building your confidence in the famous brands you can buy...like the boys? Ugh, her mind.
@@soaribb32 EXACTLY.... I just love her
Absolutely. It's telling a story lyrically and sonically. It almost feels spiritual. And the last song Snakeskin brings it all together.
hold on... the way you explained the japanese diasporic pain in her songs to me (a japanese-american person) & made me understand her musical perspective more.... and made me love her even more. your power
ALSO if you want more of that early 2000s/pop/r&b style, you should definitely check out her mini-album RINA. it’s so damn good
As a child of immigrants (not Japanese) I also have that feeling of being caught between worlds, not really belonging to either place
Chosen Family is specifically about being part of the LGBTQ+ community since so many of us are abandoned by our birth families.
And I love that she is supporting every single one of us ❤
@@Who_is_this_da_heck well she’s pan so she’s not only supporting the lgbtq+ community but she’s part of it lol
@@moonlightisgreedy1027 I mean she is supporting people with their songs 😂 And espacially about her experience as a LGBTQ+ member
@@Who_is_this_da_heck yeah lol
XS was about captialism, bringing politics in her music is amazing!!
Oh my god yesssssssss 😩✨
Rina has definitely to watch this reaction, 'cause this is exactly what the most of us felt with this album. It is a masterpiece!
Tag her on Twitter pleaaseee, I would CRY
I'm here because Rina tweeted about this video
The way Snakeskin is about the commodification of emotions and creating art in a capitalist system, basically selling your emotional growth to an audience. A SERVE
The way Snakeskin is underrated GENIUS. An ARTIST.
OMGGGGG, THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSEEEEE 😭
Sawayama AOTY, she really did that
Grammy is rigged 🙄✋

@@readingobsessedRAH OMG YESS THATS IT. I LOOOVE IT SM
Garçons*
yes she's a song writer! she has credits in every song she's released. this is actually the first album she allowed others to write with her. You should listen to her RINA ep!
She didn't get nominated for any awards?! Is you serious?!
It was because she doesn't technically have British citizenship. She's still British and should be eligible. The rules are xenophobic.
basically the system is rigged, who wants to gather the youtube music reviewers to hold their own bc it’s so tiring
By far album of 2020. Ridiculously underrated commercially. What an album
yh she wrote every songs
Of course she did 🤦🏾♀️ a phenomenal artist
“Not gonna lie, trying not to do some self-deprecating in my head right now” the way Rina got everyone questioning if they’re a bad friend 💀 Also it was so satisfying to see you connect the lyrics in Tokyo Love Hotel!! Once I understood the song...that shit hurted 😔
Bc its what she really wants to say, that we’ve all kinda been the Bad Friend sometimes and that’s OK bc it happens and we just have to realise when and get better. A SERVE.
GIRL YES ITS FROM FINAL FANTASY JSKSKSSKSKS, SHE REALLY GAVE THE GAYMERS THEY'RE ANTHEM 😭😭✊
Istg😭
15:15 why did you look like that Scarlet Johanson gif while you were bopping 😭
Ngl that gif of her is me every time it comes on shuffle
Scarlet’s best role yet
LMFOSAISOO
At the minimum she deserves at least one Grammy. It’s my AOTY.
11:56
She has a japan exclusive song on the album called "Tokyo Takeover" about embracing her Japanese heritage. So your wish of her embracing both sides of her came true, at least partially :)
It also slaps to the suprise of no one
yess i love tokyo takeover
snakeskin has such an interesting song structure but every time i listen to it i get intense chills
Album of the year, that's all I wanna say
WOW. If anybody is on the fence with fully loving every song on this album- I will turn them to this video because.... any song that I didn’t fully love, I know FULLY love after watching this video. WHAT A REWARDING AND SATISFYING JOURNEY
Thank you SO MUCH 😩
You need to listen to her first album too, she’s so damn talented dude! I’m also so glad you did this!! Did you ever react to Dua I don’t see it here so like in your own time?
Daniel Coria lol my bad! Regardless it’s good 🤷🏽♀️
Your understanding of this album is remarkable! Even at the first listen you were able to get those little cultural implications and details she sings about. YOU POPPED OFF SIS 🔥🔥🔥
ok a few things i wanna say, sorry if they've commented something before!!
1. the videogame quotation in snakeskin is from final fantasy cause rina is a huge fan!
2. speaking abt that, how come you got every little quote, reference and wordplay???? im gagged cause i had to google everything LMAO
3. i have no idea why but you reacting so intensely to this album made me really happy lol you got a new sub
i like how you interpreted tokyo love hotel! she said on apple music that in Tokyo there's places called love hotels that you quite literally go for s*x and she's basically saying i want a true connection. but i think the connection you made to her made sense!
I really love seeing people react to this album for the first time and getting their life cause it's such an experience
GIRL PLZ REACT TO JESSIE WARE'S ALBUM WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE
I ALSO WANTED TO BE IN A ROCK BAND!!! BUT LIKE THE BLACK VERSION OF PARAMORE, WITH JANELLE MONAE’S VOICE/VIBE!!!!
I’m so happy! Rina deserves so much praises! Thanks so much for taking your time to listen to her album! Me and the rest of the Pixels appreciate it💕
This album is so fucking good. I don’t know how people can say pop music is dead when we have this!
That what I’ve been saying!! Though from what I’ve read from other people, the production and semi-hyperpop aspects might be kinda overwhelming? (even though I think it’s the pretty accessible) But I feel like that’s just a general criticism for any sort of electronic/pop music that usually comes from an older demographic (yes i’m generalising lol). But even if the production isn’t people’s thing I reckon the vocals and lyricism make it an essential pop album. Go Rina!
Rina puts a *lot* of detail in her songs, you should listen with headphones for a better experience, nice vid 💖
YES!!! HELL YES!! We are breaking generational trauma and cycles!!! i have noticed my family specifically my mother’s toxicity and abuse traits and i refuse to let that carry on to my future childern. My children will have a beautiful amazing family and they will NEVER be forced to be someone they’re not. they will never EVER be manipulated or gaslighted or guilt tripped to do AND BELIEVE certain things. They will NEVER be emotionally or mentally abused like i was / still am. and they will be their own individual with their own beliefs and dislikes and likes and opinions. One day i’ll have a beautiful family with my future husband and i won’t let my past or family trauma stop me . 👏🏼
If you like the pop/rock mix you should check out Poppy’s albums Am I A Girl and I Disagree
YEEEEES! 😍
YAAAS PLEASE
so... three more things. sorry for the spam, Kioshi 😅
first: Maya is better than me at expressing exactly how I feel on these songs. 🤣 she'll give a full explanation on how it resonated with her in a way that perfectly explains how I felt on my first listen. but my mind is mush and I'm just like 'it's.... LEGENDARIC😵' 😂
second: I would have NEVER made that New Edition connection with LM4M but it fits and I can't unhear it now.
and third... MEEZ WAS A MOMENT!!
When she said “....this is the first song omg”
.....I felt that 😔😂😂
I love discovering new music and your joyous spirit is very infectious.
My faves are :
Dynasty, XS, STFU,Comme Des Garçons, Paradisin, Snake Skin
But that's like 1/2 of the album so I just love the album lol
You gotta listen to her EP too, just called Rina !! It's a lot of rock/pop fusion and it HITS
Ik im late, but you sound really smart in this video so I’m subscribing
THE WAY I CLICKED THIS SO FAST
I was watching another video and then I saw this in the recommendation and I was like BYE
Girl, listen to Cherry by Rina. You'll love it.
Yes finally , she is so good
Off topic but love your pfp
@@pinkberry57412 omg I love yours to
I come back here to re-experience wisdom, positivity and joy.
hi! please react to her new album Hold The Girl it’s beautiful)❤
The thing that i adore about her is that she's just a normal person who makes music she's not some industry plant
Like she's out here watching ppl react to her album amd just see her vlogs it's so refreshing
Top 5:
1. Dynasty
2. Bad Friend
3. Chosen Family
4. STFU
5. Paradisin
taste
omg it’s like..I always wanted u to react to this album but I never commented it but you did anyway. you snapped
I love how you immediately get the meanings of the songs it’s so refreshing and the way you connect to it
Your energy is IT! So fortifying. This is exactly what it feels like to listen to this album, whether it's the first time or the fiftyeleventh time. Please react to Rina's music video for "Cyber Stockholm Syndrome."
YES YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT SNAKESKIN! IT ACTUALLY USES A SNIPPET OF THE FINAL FANTASY VICTORY/FANFARE MUSIC IN ONE PART!
if u loved this album listen to her sophomore album hold the girl!!!!
Should be a contender for Album of the Year
YES I haven´t seen anyone talking about the Final Fantasy "Victory Fanfare" resemblance in "Snakeskin". That was the first thing I remembered when I listened to the song.
React to the "XS" music video!!!
Rina co-wrote every single song on her album🤗🤗
she saved 2020. Love this reaction! love from Philippines!
If Grammys won't put her to nominations for Album Of The Year I will stop to believe in justice. She's genius! ❤️
I've beennn WAITINGG FOR THISSSSS! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
You boutta love it!
WE LITERALLY HAVE THE SAME MUSIC TASTE ! 😂 i loveee rina !!!! She deserves better !!!!
As an Asian American woman, that was heavily into screamo/emo music (since a lot of rock subcultures and genres were heavily "white"), I feel seen through Rina
omg yessss and also the bad friend lyric was carly rae jepsen ! rina's a fan of her
could you listen to her RINA EP? it's just as good as SAWAYAMA some say it's even better💖
Eagerly awaiting your Hold The Girl reaction! No surprise, it's another STUNNING album!
could you please react to What's Your Pleasure album by Jessie Ware she gives us disco bops
OMGGGG STOPPPPP WHEN YOU LISTENED TO PARADISIN YOU REFERENCED MYSCENE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD. THATS LITERALLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT OMG
React to WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE by Jessie Ware AOTY
omg please react to her first project "RINA", it's literally perfect. it's a 9 track EP with two interludes so it's pretty short, but my god is it just flawless
You should listen her ep rina!!
IT IS FINAL FANTASY
Edit: on a Spotify podcast Rina and Clarence (Clarence Clarity who she works with a ton as a producer and songwriter) talked about how they included it and weren’t sure if it was okay lmao
the album was produced by clarence clarity and he brought in (with rina’s input) a lot of the ‘weird’ production sounds and beats and he has his own music which is also really cool!!
3 of my favorite musicians released albums this year but Sawayama still AOTY by a M I L E
the Dynasty guitar solo was inspired by Beyoncé’s I Care
I WANTED YOU TO REACT TO THIS SO BADLY. I LOVE THIS. THANK YOU.
I found her a week ago and I am SO OBSESSED. I’m with you all over this. LOVE.
I SCREAMED!!! When I tell u I been waiting for this one... hope u love her!
1:30 1:42 1:50 2:48 2:55 4:40 5:03 5:20 5:47 5:58 6:35 7:35 7:55 12:30 19:32 20:15💀 20:30 23:46
It is final fantasy!
So happy you listened to this!! One of my favorites releases of the year for sure, but my favorite tracks by far are Dynasty and Snakeskin. I'm a black femme living in the US and that stuff about intergenerational trauma? Of learning forgiveness for your own growth and not letting anger consume you? I gravitate most to the songs with the most personally relatable lyrics and those get me every time! Thanks for posting!!
Also! Know this is super late but if you haven't listened to it, I highly recommend Magdalene by FKA Twigs. After seeing your reaction to this I think you may like the work that went into that album!
New Edition!!!!! Thank you, that’s the group I was trying to think of when I heard that song. I was like...Tevin Campbell??
When Maya drops a rock song>>>>>
I think she wrote on everything!
AHHHHHHH just got to the part where you cop the final fantasy tune in snakeskin!!!! And I totally agree, this is definitely in my top 3 albums of the year too. YES YES YES
AAAAAAA I’m honestly so happy that more POC reacting to Rina are popping up in my recommended, I found her just before she released SAWAYAMA back in April and I became OBSESSED. Anyway, I really enjoyed this vid and the fact that you liked the album, I hope I see more of this stuff soon!!💙
if you love her rock/metal influences maybe you should react to poppy! her am i a girl album is mostly pop with some rock/metal influences and her I disagree album is like fully metal/rock :)
Dynasty and Tokyo love hotel fighting for SOTY
It's the UA-cam algorithm suggesting black creators that I enjoy for me. ❤️💫🌟
I love seeing people geek over albums I love. I've been listening to SAWAYAMA almost exclusively for like 3 weeks. She is keeping me alive tbh.
I wish I could like this 1000x
BITCHHH IT WAS INDEED FINAL FANTASY! AS AN AVID VIDEO GAME FAN I LOVEEEE YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THAT!! 😍 ♥
the way you got the meaning of tokyo love hotel after one minute of listening ... thats big brain energyyyyyy !!! that’s almost exactly what it says about the song in the apple music description ahhh
the way u can really singggg omg im surprised
Thank you so muuuuuch 😭
Anyway, did u notice that first announce in "Akasaka Sad"??
It says "doa ga shimari-masu" and means "The doors closing"
You can heard when you use elevator in Japan!
And, this is my image tho....I think "Paradisin' " vibes is photo booth in Shibuya.
How come i know this is? Yess, I'm Real Tokyo Girl!!!!!
