She's a gem for sure, so glad I discovered her some time back! I'm slowly making my way through her songs one by one. Though not every song is as impactful as this or some of her other songs, like Human Scramble or Hitogoroshi or that one called Jisatsu shigansha no uta which she sings in the dark almost, and I kind of have a feeling as to why she does that, it's very dark, but as in all dark songs she's done so far there's a glimmer of hope in the form of a flower stubbornly growing among the concrete buildings, a beautiful sunset or similar... She's very good at writing impactful lyrics from real life experiences and she delivers them with passion
she is a person who has surffered a deal of trauma. and she is a nurse and musician who look after many hurting people and many people who have gone far away.
Again, thank you for telling me about her. Although experiencing these things, such as trauma is bad, and shouldn't be wished on anyone. I guess it can also help you find passion, grit, and emotion as well.
I understood how amazing she was when I listened without knowing the lyrics (The emotion and the voice! Chills!), then I turned on the subtitles and... She broke me ;_;
🥰You are exactly where you need to be! All I listen to for the last 8 years is JRock ... Thank you Band Maid for introducing me to the Scene🕊👀Hi from the UK an OG Black Sabbath fan😁
One reason I prefer Japanese singing (coming from Babymetal) is that English has diphthongs (combined vowels) while Japanese Vowels are singular and sound much more "pure". English vowel sounds less nice to hear.
we Japanese seem to unconsciously think that we can acquire a sense of beauty and ethics by pursuing skills and techniques. in other words, mastering your chosen field is the means to approaching transcendence. it's a journey that never ends.
Yes I love her voice! There's also an english version! If you want another artists with an amazing voice (I think the best in the world right now) is Ado. She's a vocal gymnast! able to go from a scream to a whisper. Check out her live version of Unravel. She does a lot of genres too. She goes from Rock to EDM to Electro Swing. Sometimes all in one song lol.
Her voice is very reminiscent of Keiko Kubota from Kalafina/Fiction Junction, they are both so beautiful to listen to. I made the mistake of playing Upiko's mix in the background whilst working, I stopped working to listen
Japan music scene absolutely smokes whats going on in the US. The talent is endless and she is incredible !!!!!
Thanks for featuring UPIKO.
We are very proud of UPIKO.
there's something special about UPIKO.. her deep voice.. melodies and her singing from full heart.. feels somewhat french
worth going back and watching but with the lyrics on, might make you drop some tears.
I found out she also sings in english.
@@JohnnyReacts1The impact is 10x with Japanese version with the lyrics. It's much better than the English version.
@@fastskipper777 I wish I put the lyrics on, what a numpty.
@@JohnnyReacts1 Yes, it has fantastic impactful sad lyrics! Tho it didnt effect how great her voice stil sounds :)

Blown away by both her voice and the lyrics. Wow!
Please understand the lyrics and listen again. I can understand how amazing she is.

I'm glad you found this song. The pain is real and she makes you feel it.
Thank you for reacting to her. There is an English version but the Japanese version is better.

Turn the lyrics on!!!! You messed up. You will be floored.
She is a nurse. She's seen and experienced many things.
You are right, I should have.
I don't understand why people can't just enable their subtitles. They're missing out on basically the whole context and content.
