Thank you, Detrucci, for your reaction to this song. Watching you react to WB songs and how excited you are makes me smile. I love the call-response style of this song in Japanese and English, and how the shamisen is driving this melody (Everybody loves Beni - WB shamisen player). The female lead vocalist for WB is Yuko Suzuhana, who also conceived and assembled the band, and writes most of the ballads, but all of the band mambers contribute to song composition and arrangement. The song was inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, and is a song designed to inspire people to stay strong, and remind them that the pandemic will end and people will be able to move freely and be with their friends and loved ones again, hence the images for hospitals, and how the western character (yellow hair) and the Asian character (maybe representing Amy and Yuko) are separated, then are reunited at the end. In animation, Japanese artists usually depict westerners as having yellow hair, so the yellow-haired character probably represents western people or Amy Lee in particular. 'Sakura' is Japanese for cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are symbolic of spring, renewal and the fleeting nature of life in Japanese culture, so 'Sakura Rising' is probably symbolic of emerging from the tradegy of the pandemic and beginning a new cycle of life, or moving forward after renewal. To see some more variety of WB styles, you should check out my favourite song of theirs, 'Ignite', which is almost punk rock, with staccato rap from Yuko and Machiya (lead guitar & most male vocals), and Yuko's warbling vibrato in the chorus; and 'Synchronicity', which is a jazz / swing duet from Yuko and Machiya. Thanks again, and I hope you keep exploring the Wagakki Band catalogue with some of their older vocaloid covers like 'Senbonzakura' (Thousand Cherry Blossoms), 'Tengaku' (Music of the Heavens) and 'Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogatari' (A Tale of Six Trillion Years and A Night), as well as more recent tracks like 'Ikusa' (War / Battlefield), 'Valkyrie', 'Okinotayuu' (Albatross), 'Strong Fate', 'Sabaku no Komoriuta' (Desert Lullaby), 'Aria of Life', 'Izana' (Powerful Woman) 'Sun Wheel', 'Kishikaisei' (Return From The Dead), 'Singin' For ..., 'Hangeki no Yaiba' (Counterattack Sword), 'Yoshiwara Lament', 'Hanabi' (Fireworks), 'Appare ga Seigi' (Praise Righteousness), 'Hagane' (Steel), 'Sasameyuki' (Snowflakes), 'Nadeshiko Sakura' (Pink Cherry Blossoms), 'Ame Nochi Kanjouron' (An Emotional Argument After Rain), 'Hoshidzukiyo' (Starry Night), 'Kagerou Daze' (Heat Haze / Mirage), 'Yukikage-Boushi' (Snowy Silhouette), or for something really different, their cover of 'Noushou Sakuretsu Girl' (Brain/Spinal Fluid Explosion Girl).
Wagakki Band and Amy Lee is such a cool colab. 1 day before this video (last Thursday) they uploaded a Liveperformance with her of a song you know😉 和楽器バンド *WAGAKKIBAND / Bring Me To Life with Amy Lee from their Symphonic Night Vol. 2 concert. Just had goosebumps & chills. ua-cam.com/video/hk1GtYK7BJM/v-deo.html
They made the song during the pandemic, so there is influence. Yuko Suzuhana is the name of the vocalist. As for the old and current thing, a different way of looking at it could be, you can start exploring a band chronologically seeing their evolution this way. But either way is not wrong.
Yes, you right, this collaboration is really great, great song and Amy and Yuko sounds amazing together. I would love to hear collaboration of my favourite japanese band The Gazette with Tarja Turunen, this would be something incredible, but this is just a dream that will never come true. ;)
Waggaki Band...they arent just musician but they are Gods and Goddess and engineers of their own musical instruments... Suzuhana Yuko - Vocals Machiya - Guitar Asa - Bass Wasabi - Drums Beni Ninagawa - Tsugari Shamisen (traditional 3 string guitar) Kurona - Wadaiko ( traditional drums) Kiyoshi - Koto ( traditional harp) Daisuke - Sakuhachi ( traditional flute) ...sir i recommend to please do comment to their other songs.. -Ignite -Sunwheel -Valkyrie -Okinotayuu -Zenbonsakura -Perfect Blue ( live ) -Subaku no Komoruita -Tengaku -Ame Nochi Kajouron -Sasameyuki -Yuki kage boushi and still more.. I be following your reactions sir..... im not a japanese.....I one of their Fans.... Im a Filipino... Thank You and God bless..
Just like how the music is a collab of an American singer and a Japanese band, The music video is made from a collaboration between Japanese and American illustrators.
Omg that's why the characters are drawn in different styles. I deduced they were different animators but I didn't know it was an international colaboration as well.
For a different far east offering, I'll give you The Let's Go's. They are three women from Tokyo who play fun, fast-paced, very energetic punk - hints of The Ramones with their classic 70s punk style. I'll offer two suggestions - "Feel Like It" ua-cam.com/video/Za98RjpKnK8/v-deo.html and Kaiju (Monster) ua-cam.com/video/o7boTXBbGpQ/v-deo.html because the two combined will still only last three minutes! Enjoy.
I agree. The chorus part just sends goosebumps. I can see it from your reaction 😊cos that's absolutely my favourite part.
Think the song is about the fight against Covid 19 but can also include other aspects of things people are dealing with. Fantastic song! Love it!
Shamisen played by Beni is really satisfying to listen and the vocals are amazing
