Interesting tidbit I discovered: Many shorter people may have greater control over their voice simply due to how much closer their vocal folds are to their mouth compared to tall people. A lot of opera singers were short and stout for instance.
@@alecoram7874 Had not really considered that. Normally we associate people of more curvy stature linked to Opera singing. I don't its a thing. Just coincidence maybe.
These two nights at the Budokan (in January 2010) are legendary. The setlists, the performances, the lighting, the screens, the whole vibe of the concerts is so captivating. Definitely one of the bands' best concerts.
This was a really interesting time for the band. They were re-working a few songs to be MUCH MUCH darker than they were before, and Kyo was changing a lot of lyrics. I can't sing along to this version at all, because he almost seems to make up the lyrics as he goes, haha. This is one of the first songs that a lot of people see when coming into the DEG fandom, so it's interesting to see you guys do it after having already reacted to so many other DEG songs.
Actually my favorite version of the song too! This is technically the "original version", but over the years a ton of improvisation found its way in until it was barely recognizable. Maybe 20% of what Kyo sings here was in the original recording, and most of that with completely different techniques.
Yeah, can't see why so many dislike the new one. I feel this performance with all the growling is more similar to the new version than the original to be honest =P
@@gustavhjertman3551 I mean I hear of just as many hating the original version so it checks out. Some like the funkier more atmospheric version, others like the heavier more metal-centric version. I personally think this is the closest to a blend of the two that sounds good we have
It's a pity you guys couldn't react to the original music video. Even though, I think you guys should check it. That mv was restricted in many countries haha
0'17" Impressive amico Jon ; 0'48" 👀👁😍😛😘 . 2'21" TOP 2'34"-2'36" A good "raspy" bluesy voice . The beginning seems extreme metal and the drum tempos "composti/Scomposti alias IRREGOLARI" (ahah) are really cool . 4'43" Jon and Travis are the man . 5'07" to 5'10" The growls are the extreme of the extreme ahah and the screamings are really original and hilarious around 5'15" and at 6'20- 6'21" ; 6'27"-6'28" . Original histeric and with "an appeal" . Look at Jon's face during those moments ! 6'39" Nailed it Trav ! The drumming is really clear around 6'58" till the End ! An Effect Ending bytheway ! 7'39"-7'40" Travis is happy another time 😛 Around 9'15" Jon is inspired another time !
This song has changed so many times over the years, they've made like 20 versions of it, and each one is fire
まじぴえん
This was the version they should have re-recorded in the studio. The original Vulgar version and every live version make the remake sound so weak.
He has a insane vocal range. Very poetic also. Writes all his own stuff. What come out of him is crazy considering he is barely over 5ft
And 45 years old! ;)
@@androgynousmaggot9389 very tasty and very talented. Mad respect

@@Areyousayingidontknowmyname It may be a coincidence. In rock bands the singer is often the shortest member.
It feels good to listen to Obscure again, idk why
When i listen to the lotus version
I always come back to their 2003 lives though
Nostalgia for a solid classic. Such a strong groove too
cos they're awesome. :)
I follow this band for 18 years i could say this band is beyond any band, they always has something new.

Budokan has the best crowds too

i HATED it at first when they changed this song up cuz its a classic but now I actually dig it

There's no way zan can get darker then it's og it's a shizo nightmare

Obscure is soo nostalgic. one of the very first UA-cam vids I've ever watched.
He was having issues with his vocal chords during this period, too. Though you'd never know it.
I definitely want you to see the new version!

I would recommend Reiketsu Nariseba from the same live. One of their most brutal song

Im pretty sure they'll get Demonitized idk.
No joke most people don't know kyo is like the godfather of visual kei rock no
joke listen to all of his music dir en grey, sadie Mona Lisa
THIS is one of the best versions of Obscure
Kyo is a fucking God
Most people can't handle him
Ryo from Crystal Lake is a strong contender now
Conozco a Dir en Grey desde hace 11 años, una de mis bandas favoritas!!!
I'm glad Liberty left in Kaoru at the end. I love when he does that. I miss him.
ちんこ
Y'all should react to Dir en Grey "Ranuculus" (live version), "Soshaku", Embryo (live version) and "Midwife".
You guys should react to their live version of Rasetsukoku at House of Blues Sunset Strip 2011

Kinda... earlyyyyyyy
Maybe a good thing you didn't react to the musicvideo... It's a bit... Obscure lol
That old version of Obscure was SO MUCH better than new one... DEG butchering a great song. VULGAR's version still amazing.
左の人の反応が嘘くさいw
DIRのリアクションめっちゃ良い反応しますよね笑
PSA: This song is about abortion
glad you've found the REAL version. the remake was meh.
Why did you not watch the normal video?
