if you like to hear more Japanese music , especially from The First Take, I recommend TK - Unravel, and TK - copy light. TK is famous for having unique vocals, so people either hate him or love him. I would love to hear what a vocal coach would have to say about his unique singing style.
That's because the tones alone already carry a lot of emotion. The sound, without needing to understand the language, tells a story. That's why I love japanese songs. I don't understand jack shit, but western music just rarely hits that for me. And then there's the opening of Death Parade, an opening to an anime about questions of life and contemplating the concepts of right and wrong. And the beat is just 🎉🎉🎉🎉
FACTS!! Anime Songs ALways HAVE thing your can Seen and unseen.. But the reflection Emotion from the Singer Undisucribe Because all that HAppend inside their Head, that's what make it's powerful Massage Every Single Words and Note.. #Respect🙏🙏🙏🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️🥺
I've never heard this song. Never heard of her. Never heard of the Anime. I bawled my fucking eyes out. This was beautiful. Thank you for introducing me to something that I would otherwise have never found
Well now that you've discovered this song i highly recommend watching the anime especially the movie just know that if the song itself made you bawl your eyes out the movie combined with this song you'll probably lose your eye's
As a long time anime watcher. there's just something about Japanese music that the emotions just hit you harder than other music. Even so, Lisa is still a league of her own.
Well, the thing is that, even when you haven't seen the movie, she can transfer all the flow of emotions in a few words over a song... But, if you have already seen the movie, this song hits pretty much harder... This is what makes LISA one of the most amazings singers of all time...
That's the reason why I don't want to hear homura again after watching the movie not because its bad but because its a masterpiece the feels is so deep and hard just from the first line of the songs I'm already tearing up so much TvT
Japanese singer are always expressive and thats what makes them great but Lisa is especially amazing in expressing this emotion. When Lisa started i got goosebumps on my whole body.. She is just too remarkable
"I don't wanna be overreacting" oh honey, it's absolutely fine. I completely understand. The first time I heard (and read the lyrics along) Homura, I cried too. I sobbed. And then I saw how LiSA got emotional in the acoustic version, I cried again
This might just be me but the reason I find it so beautiful is because you don’t know what they’re saying so you have to feel the emotion in the song rather than just listen to it
As someone whose first language isn't English, I can safely say English is the "weakest" language with respect to a song's lyrics. I suppose it's because there aren't many different ways you can express something in English.
@@axlrose5082 think there’s also an over abundance of focus on heartbreak and drama songs. While this song for example is about blazing forward towards a brighter future.
I cry almost everytime I sing this song... for my luck or not I can speak and understand fluent japanese and the lyrics speaks to me in a different level. If you liked Lisa you should check out Yoasobi. Ikuta Lila's voice is just amazing, She, Lisa and the corean singer IU are my absolutely favorites
-｡-ボクは日本人です。 Do you like LiSA and Yoasobi? I also like ! I introduce JPOP . If you like rock, Bluehearts , Zelda , Ado Regallily , Peggys etc... If you like Idols, fairly☆elements PoppinParty etc.... I like also NiziU. JPOP never know American! I hope to understand JPOP you! 貴方はいつか通に なるでしょう=(+｡+)=
Its sad how people don’t see the pain from Tanjiro’s perspective. If yall have watched both the series and movie, then read the lyrics twice then you guys will understand.
You can see that she is just natural in her element despite being so difficult what she is doing, she seems to be in the zone since the very begining and takes you with her into her world.
This song is so emotional, and Lisa is also very skilled. This one also from Lisa but she didn't do it alone, and this song is also very good. Please react to Lisa x Uru / Saikai
A cry baby, sounds like a badge of honor to me, tells me you are able to feel what the artist is trying to convey, never be ashamed of crying when the music moves, love your reactions and analysis, keep them coming
I can understand but is it weird that it doesn’t really have an impact on me unless I really listen to every lyric (and by listen, I mean read. I don’t know japanese)
O my heart. So hard. Very emotional performance of lisa and react of yours. Just want to hug both of you. Why im getting emotional too. " you just have to keep on living no matter how hard it gets" english trans. Heavy. Feel her. Thank u for your emotional and insightful analysis, it's ok to be vulnerable were just humans. Love this channel
Lisa is one of my favorite singers and I’m so happy that more people are appreciating her talent 🥰 she’s so incredible. I’ll admit that this video also made me tear up
I, honestly, truly enjoyed your video, and so much. When I first watched "Homura" by LiSA on First Take, I cried like you did. The emotions she put into her words, her singing, are incredible. And what you said in your video, "if music help you, that's great. But if you are able to help others through your music, it's absolutely unique gift", I felt that. And many people, artists, are doing it. I'm so thankful that music exist. Thank you so much for your video, I wish you the best
This movie set my heart ablaze. LISA did the most amazing job and perfectly created the emotion needed for this song. She's incredible and very passionate when she sings.
It's one of those songs where you don't have to understand what is being said to understand and feel the emotion behind it. She is an absolutely stunning and amazing singer.
(Spoiler) People said that Homura song is a gift for our hero Rengoku Kyojuro. And that’s make sense for all of us to cry when hearing this song. Rengoku is our hero. Gone but never forgotten, Rengoku Kyojuro. Hope you rest in peace our hero

Hello, Katriinka. What catch my attention is her breathing. The way she gasp air resembles like she is "crying", and the reality is that she is holding her emotions, not to cry and ruin the song. At the end of the song, she releases it. And yes, as a man, she got me... I let my tears roll down. 😅
Homura is an emotional song and Lisa kills it so perfectly and flawles,she is a great performer and this is a great reaction Katrinka. Check out also another Japanese female singer and songwriter Aimer, I'm sure you'll like her.
I remember watching this movie. One thing, when this song came on. The scene the lyrics just hit different. I cried like a baby. Water works wouldn't stop. Just kept going. My friend and I just understood and hugged it out. Nothing was said. What a wonderful reaction.
As someone who has followed LiSA's career for the last few years now (originally heard her many years prior however in Anime, always loved her songs in the openings/endings) this has got to be my absolute favorite performance by her. It's my favorite performance of any musician honestly, it never ceases to take my breath away, and every time I hear it I always end up misty eyed (the first time I heard it I literally sobbed). Back in 2015 she had an interview about her Budokan Live Performance, she talked about how she finally felt she could sing naturally as she had issues with singing Ballad style songs previously. Through the encouragement of her fans she sang the song Shirushi at that said performance and dedicated it to her fans "As I can sing naturally at last, I want to send a ballad to my fans". Since then I've seen her grow so much as an artist and what was once something very rare for her has now become one of her greatest strengths. There's a reason why she's one of Japan's biggest and have been featured in so much media (Homura being a song from the massive Demon Slayer: Mugen Train film). I'd highly recommend Shirushi, in a way it's the very catalyst that gave her the strength to give us such an incredible performance.
I still remember LiSA forgetting lyrics at live stage in the beginning of her career like it's yesterday... , look at how much my girl has grown... T._T
Honestly, I’ve watched animes JUST bc LiSA wrote/sang their opening and/or closing piece/s… I literally went to see mugen train in theaters JUST to hear this song on theater speakers 😭😭😭 This song gives me chills every single time I listen to it and hearing/seeing someone else who understands and appreciates everything she’s doing with her voice and with the lyrics and just the music in general as much as - if not more than - I do is something that’s really amazing and interesting for me to see. Thank you for sharing your reaction to this song (and to this version specifically) and spreading awareness of this amazing artist and her music.
Please excuse me but the spell of her name should be "LiSA" (with S and A in capital), as an acronym for "Love is Same All", the band she was in when she started her singing career in Tokyo.
U understand how expressive a music can be when we can realize that we feel and understand the music and the emotion behind it without even knowing the language it's sung in
thank you for your honest reaction and expertly analysis, katriinka. I agree 100% with what you said about her and want to add: she really has class and style. and also a beautiful personality. this song makes me cry almost everytime I listen to it too. my favourite japanese bands have just made songs for an anime: wagakki band for anime "mars red", songs name is "mars red", eight musicians who mix traditional japanese instruments and modern instruments. bandleader yuko is an awesome singer too. lovebites for the anime "Vladlove", the song is called "winds of transylvania". all female band, probably the best metalband on the planet right now.
Rira Ikuta has such a sweet plaintive voice. Her pitch control and clarity of vocal timbre are extraordinary. The way she can quickly bounce her voice up and down in pitch is crazy. The first few listens I was thinking, that's not autotuned. She's doing that herself.
I heard the “goodbye” and “thankyou” and just began waiting even harder than I had throughout the whole movie ... thankfully my sister was there to comfort me and let me cry as much as I needed. And I’m going back to rewatch it later this week ... I’ll probably cry just as much
Besides Homura, I'd recommend you to listen to "Ichiban no Takaramono" and "Shirushi". Both were emotional songs by LiSA as well. Really loved this video. It only shows that you don't need to fully understand lyrics to appreciate good music. ❤️
I have a fan of Lisa and her incredible voice for years and discovered this video as a suggestion from YT after watching (again) her "Homura" performance for The First Take. I immediately subscribed to your channel. You was describing exactly what I feel every single time I listen to this song. Isn't it crazy how a song can make you emotional even without understanding the lyrics? Great video and thank you for putting all those feelings into words! It means a lot for someone like me that may be considered by others a very cold person. It is just that I don't know how to express my feelings and emotions :)
GRacias por traer a LISA, para mi es una de las cantantes mas actuales de japon, bella, y una voz hermosa melodica, que puede cantar desde baladas hasta rock y tan agradable. Thank you for bringing LISA, for me she is one of the most current singers in Japan, beautiful, and a beautiful melodic voice, who can sing from ballads to rock and so nice.
I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it while watching Demon Slayer anime. Then, I watched Lisa's acoustic rendition so many times and each time, she never fails to evoke the intense emotions in me! Beautiful song and person.... Lisa was so authentic when she sings and shares about the song, "Homura"
A wonderfully emotional song you can find on first take is copy-light by TK. He really goes all out in it, not only with his voice but also his guitar skills
Finally you reacted to Homura! I'm literally crying when I first heard the song! Lisa really portrayed the emotions well! I have high respect for her. When the movie was already so sad then the soundtrack was added. I'm depressed
You were moved to tears just like i was moved to tears, especially at the end. It was so raw, she put so much emotion into it that she drew us into her inner space. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
OMG, my throat hurts so much to keep my self from crying. This reaction and that lyrics which I didn't knew is possible to be enabled before and watching this video of Lisa all over again is a completely different and emotional experience. I know the song is great just basing it from it's melody but actually understanding it and connecting it to the performance of Lisa made a strong connection in me that makes me want to break in tears. Holding up your emotions, experiencing grief and doing your best to move on... this is the longest comment I made since I've been watching youtube from day 1 but it just feels so good to express this things. Thanks for this video.
this is such as good reaction video, you have the video you're reacting to up the whole time, you explained what she's doing, how she's doing it, why she's good, why you're impressed, and most importantly, you talked slowly and clearly and got the whole message across, instead of just "omg" "wtf" "laughing really loud" etc. Much better than some other reaction videos I've watched tonight. Good job, keep up the hard work!
If you want another really beautiful emotional song in the Japanese/anime area I think Dareka, Umi Wo (live) by Aimer is a hidden gem I haven’t really seen anyone else talk about( as I know all the popular recommendations have probably already been done). It was the ED for Zankyou no Terror and ever since it has stayed with me because of how hauntingly beautiful it is. Aimer is a WONDERFUL vocalist and I think you may like it
I was waitinf so much for this!!! I also cry with this song, you could really feel the emotions there. I love Lisa so much, I love your reactions to her too!!!
these first take episodes of LiSA, i watched it alot of times already and i still cried over and over again. her voice is a blessing, her songs are blessings. they're just too good so good
Homura is honestly a favorite song LiSA has ever done. Its extremely beautiful and powerful. When I watch The Demon Slayer movie and I heard the song for the first time I legitimately bawled my eyes out. LiSA has such a strong and powerful voice, I love her so much!
I love your reaction to LiSA! I feel you, the emotions just build up and just explodes 😭. I would recommend other First Take videos TK from Ling Toshite Shigure - Unravel and Copy Light. Queen Bee - BL, Fire Co Shu Nie - asphyxia It would be great if you also reacted to the other LiSA videos from first take - Unlasting, Catch the Moment
10:19 I guess the lyrics on this part has been changed. It was "Set your heart ablaze!" Really emotional song which in reference to a character in Demon Slayer (Rengoku) who has Flame as his power. Also no need to look far for Anime songs. LiSA got tons and tons of Opening song themes for anime. You might want to do a LiSA Anime song series :D
Ahhh LiSA is amazing! I definitely recommend checking out Minami's music, specifically 'Main Actor' or 'Crying for Rain', her voice is very raw and unique and I think you'd like it :)
Spoilers: I cried
You cried buy whyyy
it's okay, its homura we all cry
T^T
We all cried more hearing this song after watching the movie😭
if you like to hear more Japanese music , especially from The First Take, I recommend TK - Unravel, and TK - copy light.
TK is famous for having unique vocals, so people either hate him or love him. I would love to hear what a vocal coach would have to say about his unique singing style.
LiSA's song "Homura" has won the grand prize, the "Japan Record Award," at the '62nd Japan Record Awards.'
so well deserved!
@@toybungcasan2329 Was she also not the first anime singer who won this award?

Agreed. I'm hooked on most Japanese songs from anime or not even though I don't speak the language at all.
"I don't wanna be overreacting" oh honey, it's absolutely fine. I completely understand. The first time I heard (and read the lyrics along) Homura, I cried too. I sobbed. And then I saw how LiSA got emotional in the acoustic version, I cried again
Acoustic version??
Exactly. Just what you expect when a friends has her/his first encounter with that anime song you love so much....
You are not crying, WE ALL ARE CRYING TT_TT
Yeahh 🥲
Yup T_T
yeah
We cry and cry again every time we listen to this song anywhere or rewatch the movie
The pain bro
You will feel even sadder when watching the Demon Slayer Movie
Mugen Train make me crying even the film is done and go home, i am still crying lol
Was this the song that was used in the end
Yeah I wasn't expecting to cry during hat movie
Everyone, even my brother in the theater was crying. Except for me, as I later cried BUNCHES!
@@gsegarra21 yeah it was
Let's admit japanese songs have the most beautiful lyrics. It's hard to find in other songs

I'm so glad someone sees her like I do. She's an amazing, extremely talented human being. ❤
Great review. Thank you!
Lisa always gives her best performance
Please excuse me but the spell of her name should be "LiSA" (with S and A in capital), as an acronym for "Love is Same All", the band she was in when she started her singing career in Tokyo.
U understand how expressive a music can be when we can realize that we feel and understand the music and the emotion behind it without even knowing the language it's sung in
thank you for your honest reaction and expertly analysis, katriinka. I agree 100% with what you said about her and want to add: she really has class and style. and also a beautiful personality. this song makes me cry almost everytime I listen to it too.
my favourite japanese bands have just made songs for an anime:
wagakki band for anime "mars red", songs name is "mars red", eight musicians who mix traditional japanese instruments and modern instruments. bandleader yuko is an awesome singer too.
lovebites for the anime "Vladlove", the song is called "winds of transylvania". all female band, probably the best metalband on the planet right now.
thank you so so much for your recommendations!
9:50 This always gives me goosebumps omg 💛
her voice and expression gives me goosebumps every single time...
誰か訳してくれ～。
数あるボーカルコーチのコメントを観て来たがこの人のコメントには(意味は解って無いんだが)伝わるモノがあって初めてシビレて、泣けた。
はじめまして、ボクはボーカルコーチさんの動画を初めて見たのだけど、そのコメントを見たらアメリカ人ばかり....汗。そんななか珍しく日本人がいたので返信しました。 鬼滅を映画館で見たけど
泣いてしまいました。どうやらアメリカ人も同じようですね。コメントにもcryingがいっぱいですから....あともうちょっとで
DVDが出ますが、ボクは絶対買おうと思っています。ふたたび煉獄さんに出会えるのですから...｡,｡..
全部は難しいですが😅日本人たくさん来てると思うので概略だけ✨
高音が難しい母音(い、え)での高音のコントロールと口の開け方、感情的になって声のコントロールや歌のテクニックを失わずに歌に感情をのせることができているのが歌手として素晴らしくて彼女のファンになったというような内容です☺️最後にずっと語っているのは、特に感情を込めることと技術の両立は、歌手ならみんなやりたいことだけど多くの人ができることではなく、このボーカルコーチが歌の途中で涙ぐんでしまったように、アーティストの感情が伝わりつつも技術が完全に制御できているのはLiSAさんの特別な才能だと。普通は感情的になると喉が閉じてしまうので、感情のドアを閉めたままそこに感情を溜め込んで、歌い終わってドアを開けた途端に感情が雪崩れるのですが、LiSAさんは自分の感情を流しながら技術的に歌い続けるすごいアーティストで、この曲を知ることができてよかった、という感じです☺️👍
hellooo~ i love your reactions to japanese singers, im a fan of j-rock and j-pop
Rira Ikuta has such a sweet plaintive voice. Her pitch control and clarity of vocal timbre are extraordinary. The way she can quickly bounce her voice up and down in pitch is crazy. The first few listens I was thinking, that's not autotuned. She's doing that herself.
@@cyberpotato63 yes, her voice is really sweet and she controls it very well. I also love her falsettos and she has a clear voice :>
We all cried to it, especially when it played at the end of the Demon Slayer Movie
I heard the “goodbye” and “thankyou” and just began waiting even harder than I had throughout the whole movie ... thankfully my sister was there to comfort me and let me cry as much as I needed. And I’m going back to rewatch it later this week ... I’ll probably cry just as much
Yeah I sobbed, Rengoku was and still is my favorite character
Besides Homura, I'd recommend you to listen to "Ichiban no Takaramono" and "Shirushi". Both were emotional songs by LiSA as well. Really loved this video. It only shows that you don't need to fully understand lyrics to appreciate good music. ❤️
I have a fan of Lisa and her incredible voice for years and discovered this video as a suggestion from YT after watching (again) her "Homura" performance for The First Take. I immediately subscribed to your channel. You was describing exactly what I feel every single time I listen to this song. Isn't it crazy how a song can make you emotional even without understanding the lyrics? Great video and thank you for putting all those feelings into words! It means a lot for someone like me that may be considered by others a very cold person. It is just that I don't know how to express my feelings and emotions :)
GRacias por traer a LISA, para mi es una de las cantantes mas actuales de japon, bella, y una voz hermosa melodica, que puede cantar desde baladas hasta rock y tan agradable.
Thank you for bringing LISA, for me she is one of the most current singers in Japan, beautiful, and a beautiful melodic voice, who can sing from ballads to rock and so nice.
I've heard it over 200 times and still cry every time. A beautiful tribute worthy of Rengoku-san's sacrifice
Lisa's "Rising Hope" rocks as well. It's a fast paced Rock song. Really enjoyable!
I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it while watching Demon Slayer anime. Then, I watched Lisa's acoustic rendition so many times and each time, she never fails to evoke the intense emotions in me! Beautiful song and person.... Lisa was so authentic when she sings and shares about the song, "Homura"
my God, LiSA is my favorite singer. She es really amazing.
A wonderfully emotional song you can find on first take is copy-light by TK. He really goes all out in it, not only with his voice but also his guitar skills
Each times I hear Lisa's voice, that give me chills. (Her voice is juste so impressive and carry lot of emotions)
Finally you reacted to Homura! I'm literally crying when I first heard the song! Lisa really portrayed the emotions well! I have high respect for her. When the movie was already so sad then the soundtrack was added. I'm depressed
You were moved to tears just like i was moved to tears, especially at the end. It was so raw, she put so much emotion into it that she drew us into her inner space. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
OMG, my throat hurts so much to keep my self from crying. This reaction and that lyrics which I didn't knew is possible to be enabled before and watching this video of Lisa all over again is a completely different and emotional experience. I know the song is great just basing it from it's melody but actually understanding it and connecting it to the performance of Lisa made a strong connection in me that makes me want to break in tears. Holding up your emotions, experiencing grief and doing your best to move on... this is the longest comment I made since I've been watching youtube from day 1 but it just feels so good to express this things. Thanks for this video.
Your tears are so beautiful. Lisa wrote this work with various thoughts, but I think you will be impressed.
when you've watched the movie, then every line in the lyric would cranked up the feel by x100.
my heart..this song..lisa is incredible
I cries the first time I watched this performance. Lisa is so talented! I love her so much. I loved your reaction to her sooo much❤
this is such as good reaction video, you have the video you're reacting to up the whole time, you explained what she's doing, how she's doing it, why she's good, why you're impressed, and most importantly, you talked slowly and clearly and got the whole message across, instead of just "omg" "wtf" "laughing really loud" etc. Much better than some other reaction videos I've watched tonight. Good job, keep up the hard work!
If you want another really beautiful emotional song in the Japanese/anime area I think Dareka, Umi Wo (live) by Aimer is a hidden gem I haven’t really seen anyone else talk about( as I know all the popular recommendations have probably already been done). It was the ED for Zankyou no Terror and ever since it has stayed with me because of how hauntingly beautiful it is. Aimer is a WONDERFUL vocalist and I think you may like it
I was waitinf so much for this!!! I also cry with this song, you could really feel the emotions there. I love Lisa so much, I love your reactions to her too!!!
This song hits even harder once you watch the movie and read the lyrics to the song. LiSA is just so amazing.
these first take episodes of LiSA, i watched it alot of times already and i still cried over and over again. her voice is a blessing, her songs are blessings. they're just too good so good
I was crying with both of you too😭💗love her voice
A LiSA song I like that always makes me tear up when I see the specific performance is her singing Ichiban no Takaramono.
Homura is honestly a favorite song LiSA has ever done. Its extremely beautiful and powerful. When I watch The Demon Slayer movie and I heard the song for the first time I legitimately bawled my eyes out. LiSA has such a strong and powerful voice, I love her so much!
Too much... You have to be a demon to not feel this
@@Panic0funraver exactly!
This is so beautiful to see you connected with her thru music.
She's such an amazing singer and she's absolutely gorgeous, i love her sm
Her voice and the way she sings are amazing, emotional, & give us goosebumps even if we dont understand any word she speak... Awesome ❤️❤️ LEGENDARY
I cry before i watch mugen train, now after I watch the movie damn its hit you harder I barely cant stop my tears
日本人です。
アニメの内容に沿ったものとはいえ、日本語の歌詞、しかも比喩も多くて死生観も日本のものだと思うのですが、
英語圏の方にも伝わるものなんだなと驚きました。
音楽に国境はないし、Lisaの歌の力は素晴らしいんだなと感動しました。動画ありがとうございました。
I love your reaction to LiSA! I feel you, the emotions just build up and just explodes 😭.
I would recommend other First Take videos
TK from Ling Toshite Shigure - Unravel and Copy Light.
Queen Bee - BL, Fire
Co Shu Nie - asphyxia
It would be great if you also reacted to the other LiSA videos from first take - Unlasting, Catch the Moment
i just love her! the voice and shes even so pretty! but the voice! nonstop chills and wanna cry even
That fact you cried, it's so cool as well. Like so talented and as a vocal coach and professional singer, this is really impressive to you
10:19 I guess the lyrics on this part has been changed. It was "Set your heart ablaze!" Really emotional song which in reference to a character in Demon Slayer (Rengoku) who has Flame as his power.
Also no need to look far for Anime songs. LiSA got tons and tons of Opening song themes for anime. You might want to do a LiSA Anime song series :D
LiSA is so amazing! You should check out her live performances doing rock songs.
Ahhh LiSA is amazing! I definitely recommend checking out Minami's music, specifically 'Main Actor' or 'Crying for Rain', her voice is very raw and unique and I think you'd like it :)
I totally agree with you... she is blessed with her voice
Very few singers can really immerse themselves in their own songs. She is one of them
