I have never seen a vocal coach or reactor who analyzed her technique in as much detail as you did, like the comparison between speaking tone and singing one and such. 👍 from Japan
Just found your channel today from this video- I agree with many others here. Gurenge is great (not that LiSA is ever anything even approaching "less than stellar") but Homura... Homura's really a masterpiece. And the part where she talks after singing always gets me on that video. I weep.
LiSA!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤ I was waiting for you to check out LiSA! She's so good. So good! On my very short list of artists I absolutely have to see live. Going to watch your reaction and then comment: Great reaction! I really liked how you went back and connected her speaking voice to her singing. I hadn't thought about that before, but one of the reasons (of many) that I like First Take is seeing the warm ups and, sometimes, the few remarks by the singer(s) afterwards, as well as the stripped down nature that just focuses primarily on the voice. For all LiSA's musicianship, craft and perfection, her superpower I'd say is her ability to carry intensity and emotion into a song, to the point sometimes that it comes into her tone. I very highly recommend Homura on First Take if you decide you'd like to revisit her (recommend listening to the bit afterwards). Thanks for the reaction!
The thing I love about Gurenge and Lisa's interpretation of it is that the song is about human pain and suffering and the desire to fight through it to move on. That is why in certain instances it is very soft and low in volume since she is singing about how you get beaten down and cower from the oppression. And other times when she blasts out the music, it is where she is singing about the need for the human spirit to fight and move on. This is not a unique technique to Lisa and others have shown similar techniques (like Madonna or Pat Banatar) but how well Lisa's interpretation of the song fits the lyrics of Gurenge and of course the entire Demon Slayer theme is really well done IMO. For example, the way she sings the chorus at 6:11 where she says "If I can get strong enough to save someone or make a positive difference, then I will thank all the pain and suffering I endured" is so well done as it goes from the soft airy singing in the beginning of the phrase to the blasting energy at the end of the phrase. Similarly at 7:06 when she says "just kindness alone cannot protect someone from evil" you mention how it goes from soft to hard, the soft part is when she is singing about kindness, and the hard part is when she says "you cannot protect someone with it".
Whenever I listen to this "First Take" by Gurenge or Homura, my eyes start to water... It's a lot of emotion conveyed in her singing, which ends up touching deeply those who are listening to the song!
Whenever I see someone reacting to disturbed, I check for either or Gurenge or Homura. LiSa is definitely one of my favorite artists. These two songs are newer, but she has a long discography to check out. Easily one of my favorite voices. She is such a.... vital person I suppose.
Omg i am happy you include her omg she is like one of the first singers i begin to listen to them bc she sing some of the greatest openning of animes of all time humura in first take she deliver even more of her sound range and emotion also next time read the traslation of the song pls you will love thanks you so mush for doing this video we dont have videos like this everyday
I highly recommend looking at the English translation for this song's lyrics. You can truly understand why she went so far and beyond with her singing.
Omg yes! If you listen to LiSA, then you have to check out ADO, too *_* she will blow you away. So many japanese vocalists with power and viarity in the voice you wont be disappointed by them! I'd recommend LiSA ("Homura" from the First Take, "This Illusion" with Wakana from Kalafina live or "Doctor" live) And ADO ("Usseewa", "Backlight" and "tot musica") Just subscribed to see where this goes :D
just found this video in my recommended, i love this song & this first take so i think that’s why. but can i just say your energy and excitement over lisa’s singing is so heartwarming to watch 😭 there’s something so enjoyable about seeing someone watch something you love for the first time and absolutely love it 😭❤️ especially as you’re a vocal coach & can fully appreciate the greatness 😁
Great reaction! I really enjoy watching the first take and I think another group who’s really worth checking out is Stray Kids’ first take performances. They have three: scars, slump, and mixtape: oh. There are 8 members and they all have really unique voices that are great to listen to and analyze and they all bring something unique and special to the performance
From watching so much reaction videos specially from Philippines, your the first reactor I've subscribed so far, the sole reason for that is the timing of the pauses, which right before the climax, typically i hate that kind of things, but because of you reactions, it doesn't bother me, it feels weird actually. So keep it up😉
I'm seconding the requests for her first take performance of Homura. It's a much more emotionally expressive song than this one (and yes, that's saying something). Also of note is that Homura means something like flame, or blaze, often referring to intense emotion.
Lisa is great! Like many others have recommended, Homura by her on the same channel is amazing. Definitely explore more on that First Take channel few other suggestions from the same channel TK - Unravel TK - Copylight Dish - Neko
Dear Ms. Bethany, I am grateful, perhaps if i didn't find your channel i would have never ever heard about these artists since i m on the other side of the world. Thanks to the internet, thanks to youtube and special thanks to you.
I feel like western singers don't use as many layers in pop music for example when compared to a lot of eastern singers, mainstream music in the west feels very manufactured compared to the massive variety that singers like LiSA provide.
Dunno if anyone else said this but a lot of times there's english Closed Captions available to turn on in case you don't know the language and want to see the lyrics. LiSA is amazing! Hearing any song of hers on your channel will be golden!
@@kaije7art interesting, I went back and watched a portion and yup, you're right. They're there but "disappear" when the progress bar hides after she presses play again.
Gurenge and Homura are great but u really aught to listen and react to Unlasting... my fav. Lisa is the best concerts, closed free style sessions, her voice carries the song at all times. incredible talent.
as J and K pop/rock fan for almost 30 years now its always fun see more people in west see how great the artists are from the east! Id love to see you do a video on Masayuki Suzuki singing Koibito from the The First Take. He's know as the "King of Love song" and has been top of the charts for over 40 years now
Great commentary & insight on LiSA! I hope you might consider either "ANIMA" or "Niji no Kanata ni" ("Over the Rainbow") by ReoNa - both can be found on THE FIRST TAKE's channel as well. Both of them are two of my favorite Japanese singers.
I'd like to request you check out the Japanese artist Aimer (pronounced "eme", it's french for "to love"). She has a very unique voice, which is the result of completely blowing out her voice when she was 15. She went through silence therapy as treatment. I won't bother requesting any specific song because honestly everything she's done is great.
Acoustic Metal "cover" of this song by Maki Oyama : ua-cam.com/video/sqnlXhO2aDk/v-deo.html Japan is the country of Metal princesses, may i suggest you LOVEBITES "Edge of the world" live 2020 ua-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/v-deo.html Mari Hamada (EB3 to F6) “Stay Gold” live 2014 ua-cam.com/video/hiiUKlu-7U0/v-deo.html
Oh, I wish you’d react to “Tot Musica” that’s really popular right now with some anime enthusiasts ❤ Weird thing about the singer is that she doesn’t show her face and is supposedly pretty young in their late teens or about 20? 😅
i always love watching your reactions because you give so much insight about vocal technics, it helps me understand a bit more my own voice, thank you😭😭 I would love it if you could react to Co Shu Nie's Asphyxia in this same format THE FIRST TAKE and The Amazing Devil's Battle Cries in their live session with For Folk's Sake, they are a very niche and indie folk band so they only have a handful of live performances😭😭 But their vocals are amazing, especially when they harmonize, it's crazy how hard their songs are
Hi. How about these Japanese songs from “THE FIRST TAKE” ? “Homura” LiSA ua-cam.com/video/4Q9DWZLaY2U/v-deo.html “Gunjyo” YOASOBI ua-cam.com/video/NyUTYwZe_l4/v-deo.html “Omokage” milet x Aimer x Rira Ikuta ua-cam.com/video/Z2Z9V-4DMGw/v-deo.html “Zankyo Sanka” Aimer ua-cam.com/video/bnzPJhW9XQg/v-deo.html “Daddy!

Hi Bethany..you have to react to Denz Gonzales covering a karaoke version of the song from Steelheart whose the titles is ''I'll never let you go'' you'll surely be amazed to hear his high voice.
Would love it if you could do a reaction to novelbright tsukimisou on The First Take also! I find that not a lot of people have reacted to his video even though it is really great! Please give it a watch! :)
You should def check out lisa's other songs like Unlasting and Homura from the same youtube channel! Also recommend the song Unravel by TK from the same youtube channel The First Take
hello! I would love to watch you do a reaction video on Franz Rhythm cover of Always Remember Us This Way or What's Up. this is a humble family band from the Philippines composed of the Father and his three kids aged 10, 14 and 16 years old. thank you.
Is there any chance you could do one of this woman's covers? Her name is Ai Mori and this is one of her videos ... Tokio Hotel - Monsoon RUS/РУССКИЙ КАВЕР
I would be super grateful if you would react to Marc Martel performing Nessun Dorma as both Pavarotti AND Freddie Mercury (search for Marc Martel Mercurotti). It is one of the most magnificent things you will ever hear! Thank you!
I have never seen a vocal coach or reactor who analyzed her technique in as much detail as you did, like the comparison between speaking tone and singing one and such. 👍 from Japan
That’s what I like about the First Take… there’s no do over. If you make a mistake, it’s recorded! And LiSA always nails it!! 🎶
Just found your channel today from this video- I agree with many others here. Gurenge is great (not that LiSA is ever anything even approaching "less than stellar") but Homura... Homura's really a masterpiece. And the part where she talks after singing always gets me on that video. I weep.

It was such a great recommendation! And I completely agree. I love seeing artists warm up and prepare before they sing. And yes... the intensity!! 😍
aint reading allat😹
Bethany: "Today we are listening to LiSa..."
Me thingking : "Now she found another long list of song to react a.k.a Anime Song"
I Like It...
The thing I love about Gurenge and Lisa's interpretation of it is that the song is about human pain and suffering and the desire to fight through it to move on.

H0ly crap u writing an essay
有難うごさいます。
素敵なリアクションでした。
Lisa is just beautiful inside and out. The voice matches the face perfectly.
Whenever I listen to this "First Take" by Gurenge or Homura, my eyes start to water... It's a lot of emotion conveyed in her singing, which ends up touching deeply those who are listening to the song!
I really love this first take... I always tear up as I really can feel the emotions with the song...
I firmly believe LiSA is one of the greatest gifts bestowed upon mankind.
What about me?😢
Whenever I see someone reacting to disturbed, I check for either or Gurenge or Homura. LiSa is definitely one of my favorite artists. These two songs are newer, but she has a long discography to check out. Easily one of my favorite voices. She is such a.... vital person I suppose.
Omg i am happy you include her omg she is like one of the first singers i begin to listen to them bc she sing some of the greatest openning of animes of all time humura in first take she deliver even more of her sound range and emotion also next time read the traslation of the song pls you will love thanks you so mush for doing this video we dont have videos like this everyday

I'd recommend
LiSA ("Homura" from the First Take, "This Illusion" with Wakana from Kalafina live or "Doctor" live)
And
ADO ("Usseewa", "Backlight" and "tot musica")
Just subscribed to see where this goes :D
please react to LISA - Homura in (First Take) too :)
just found this video in my recommended, i love this song & this first take so i think that’s why. but can i just say your energy and excitement over lisa’s singing is so heartwarming to watch 😭 there’s something so enjoyable about seeing someone watch something you love for the first time and absolutely love it 😭❤️ especially as you’re a vocal coach & can fully appreciate the greatness 😁
I’m just happy to see you. You make me feel better.
One of the best vocalists ever ....such a hard song to do live first take
Great reaction! I really enjoy watching the first take and I think another group who’s really worth checking out is Stray Kids’ first take performances. They have three: scars, slump, and mixtape: oh. There are 8 members and they all have really unique voices that are great to listen to and analyze and they all bring something unique and special to the performance
Ok Next Lisa - Hommura
Very cool. Really enjoyed that!
From watching so much reaction videos specially from Philippines, your the first reactor I've subscribed so far, the sole reason for that is the timing of the pauses, which right before the climax, typically i hate that kind of things, but because of you reactions, it doesn't bother me, it feels weird actually.

absolutely amazing and wonderful y🥺🥺💜💜🇯🇵🇯🇵
I would suggest Ado - 罪と罰 (Crime and Punishment)
You can tell Lisa put her all into this performance, it was emotional for her and for us too
along with all the homura recommendations I would like to add unravel -first take its soooo gooooooooooood
Lisa is great! Like many others have recommended, Homura by her on the same channel is amazing. Definitely explore more on that First Take channel
few other suggestions from the same channel
TK - Unravel
TK - Copylight
Dish - Neko
homura by LiSA from the first take. that one definitely put you into another dimension.
I'm Japanese.
Your reaction and thoughts was so good.
Dear Ms. Bethany, I am grateful, perhaps if i didn't find your channel i would have never ever heard about these artists since i m on the other side of the world.
Thanks to the internet, thanks to youtube and special thanks to you.
That is a great breakdown of this performance!
I feel like western singers don't use as many layers in pop music for example when compared to a lot of eastern singers, mainstream music in the west feels very manufactured compared to the massive variety that singers like LiSA provide.
You should react to Homura and Unlasting by LiSA!! She is gorgeous, she is so expressive! and with the lyrics is even better! Great Video!
Love thank you
Dunno if anyone else said this but a lot of times there's english Closed Captions available to turn on in case you don't know the language and want to see the lyrics.
LiSA is amazing! Hearing any song of hers on your channel will be golden!
It looks like she has the bottom trimmed off, cuz when she pauses, you can see the subtitles.
@@kaije7art interesting, I went back and watched a portion and yup, you're right. They're there but "disappear" when the progress bar hides after she presses play again.
React to "Saikai" its a song on first take with Lisa and Uru. Uru has such a weirdly deep voice for a women.
Gurenge and Homura are great but u really aught to listen and react to Unlasting... my fav. Lisa is the best concerts, closed free style sessions, her voice carries the song at all times. incredible talent.
You have to check out Homura by LiSA on F1RST TAKE. It's just amazing.
next of Lisa has to be homura first take song. Also would love to know your breakdown of "Chaap Tilak" by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen
DEFINITELY have to react to her singing "Homurs"
Please react to Lisa homura she does amazing job at it
as J and K pop/rock fan for almost 30 years now its always fun see more people in west see how great the artists are from the east! Id love to see you do a video on Masayuki Suzuki singing Koibito from the The First Take. He's know as the "King of Love song" and has been top of the charts for over 40 years now
Now "homura" please 🙏
You should also check out Yoasobi - Gunjo
and Yoasobi - Yoru ni Kakeru
Can someone tell me what technique to use at 12.08? "Kisenai yume mo"
Thank you for reaction.
Gurenge is so good song.
I want you to listen if you don't mind
singer「ado」
Im not sure if your explaining her singing or how a food taste like. I'll take it any way you describe it. All I can say is its magical.
I recommend you to react homura too from first take
next Omokage in THE FIRST TAKE please
Messa di voce at 8.32 into a softer vibrato !😮
Its OST of top grossing anime in japan titled " Demon Slayer" one of the best sound track in anime for me.. ✌️😁
Great commentary & insight on LiSA! I hope you might consider either "ANIMA" or "Niji no Kanata ni" ("Over the Rainbow") by ReoNa - both can be found on THE FIRST TAKE's channel as well. Both of them are two of my favorite Japanese singers.
Please react to Ado “God-ish”(cover) and TAKA(from ONE OK ROCK)”Hello”(Adele cover)
Imagine having her react to Minami's Crying For Rain
Yet another video where i complately get lost in your beauty and forget about the topic for 13 min straight
I'd like to request you check out the Japanese artist Aimer (pronounced "eme", it's french for "to love"). She has a very unique voice, which is the result of completely blowing out her voice when she was 15. She went through silence therapy as treatment. I won't bother requesting any specific song because honestly everything she's done is great.
Please listen to the unanimous applause sung in LiSA's The fast take!
diana Navarro...el perdón 🥰🥰🥰

She has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard.best singer ever in my opinion and I can’t understand a damn thing she says.
