If I remember correctly, the 1 minute long moment of silence was for Chester Bennington. Chester was a HUGE inspiration to Taka.They knew each other, had multiple interactions and were supposed to perform together not long after Chester passed away.
the 1 minute moment of silence is to underline the words coming after, "can you hear me? im trying to hear you, silence strikes like a hurricane" as if the silence of one minute was hard to endure
Every time when someone said Taka (or OOR)'s voice reminds them Chester Bennington, I'm sooo glad to hear that. Cuz Taka respects Chester and OOR had a special relationship w/ Linkin Park.
I'm japanese and I've read some of his interviews. He was born as a son of famous singer in japan(called Mori Shin-ichi an Enka singer) and was told to keep his voice in his childhood, so he had naturally known how to pull out his best voice without learning theory of mixed voice and such. Also he said that ''I can't figure out why i can sing like this and in high note." There in Japan are great rock or pop singers like Taka(Masato of COLDRAIN, Shinya Ishihara from Saucy Dog, Satoshi Fujihara from Official Hige Dandism, etc…). If interested, please listen! Sorry for my poor English…
I never get tired of watching people geek out over Takas vocals I'm gonna be that good someday I love the emotions he releases while simultaneously having this huge range and agility
The fact thet this man cried after covering Linkin Park at the memorial concert, because he felt that his peroformance wasn't good enough to honor him, speaks volumes. He is a great artist who takes his craft very seriously.
When he is subtle and soft it's extreme and when he is aggressive it's extreme... he is really pretty amazing . most aggressive singers struggle to be subtle and vise versa.
Thanks for your insight into his vocal technique! We fans know hes great but you give us the vocabulary to describe his greatness. Would like to point out that Taka's voice wasn't the best at this concert since he was sick. There are definitely other live performances that would be good to react to, as well as his cover of Adele's Hello - the perennial favourite for YT reactors.
Thank you😊私はONE OK ROCKがだいすきです。そしてTAKAの声がだいすきです。ｺﾒﾝﾄでたくさんの方がﾗｲﾌﾞｵｰﾄﾁｭｰﾆﾝｸﾞしたﾛﾎﾞｯﾄのようだと批判していますが本当なのでしょうか?誰かおしえてください。私はみんなにAdele Hello by TAkaをきいてもらいたいです。from JAPAN💌
and just that the fact that he wasnt happy with his performance bc he was sick is just amazing. like i wasnt able to hear it! only after i read it.... 🤯 god i love his voice
What could've been if Taka actually got to tour with Chester. Those two are a few of my all-time favorite vocalists and you can definitely hear the influence. Their respective bands all together would've been a complete monster of a performance.
they were supposed to. It got cancelled because of Chester's death. But he did sing with LP during the memorial concert, albeit it isn't his best performance, he was really nervous and had too much pressure on him.
I love, love how educational your reactions are. I'm a big OOR fan. I would love to hear your break down of some of Taka's older songs. Like Mighty long fall Liar Deeper Deeper
I love your vocal analysis of this song, you’re saying all the things that I’m thinking & wow yes Taka has one hell of a voice & as a singer myself his range, tone, & the length of time he can hold a note with zero strain, is insanely good! In this song in particular, his voice is put in front of the music & allows the listener to really listen & feel! Everything about this arrangement & performance was exceptional!
Finally, I’m so happy that Taka is getting more attention and appreciation for his vocals. It’s been 4 years since I discovered them, but his vocals still make me so emotional
Back in my senior year my art teacher heard me playing LP and started a preaching to the class about how that music is essentially "bad" and those vocals are just ppl yelling randomness. I argued back, of course. Never have I changed my mind about Chester being on of the greatest! Glad you're implying Take is up there too....My 2nd fav vocalist I draw my motivation/inspiration from
I'm a singer and every time I went to freak out about something Taka did with his voice, Chris reacted the exact same way I did and I'd respond to him like we were having a conversation lmao, love this reaction video!
I was just impressed by their singing voice, but I am glad to know their technique as singers through your consideration. Right now they are in the middle of their Japan tour, 10 shows in stadiums with 50,000 people and I couldn't get tickets. I was the 800th on the waiting list, so I gave up. Glad to share on your channel 🌱🌱
You should also listen to MISIA, the Japanese diva who ignited the R&B boom in Japan in the 1990's. With a five-octave voice, she is popular in Asia and sang the national anthem at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. I recommend the song "Higher Love" from The First Take channel🎵
He got a special voice, even when he is screaming, I don't feel uncomfortable and still early. Few singers can do that. Please react to them "Good goodbye"" live version.
Ok this just SOLD me on you and your content 😂🙈 yeah I'll be enjoying their concerts way more and I'll definitely ask my teacher if she can show me a few techniques to get that grit and rasp in there 🙈
Both his parents were Enka singers, he was apart of journeys, which is like a boy band training camp, so he grew up rich, but b/c of problems with his dad and parents divorcing he left home at 16 or 18, resulting in this song, Toru, the electric guitarist, stalked him at the restaurant he was working at and they made one ok rock as a result
I am loving even more his voice than I already did cause you are stripping it into these gorgeous pieces of vocal theory I don't really know about at all You are really cool too
I used to hate this song when it came out..Thought it was too poppy at the time. Then went to go see One Ok Rock live...Taka sang his guts out.. now i love the song lol. Taka sings that song with the same emotion almost every time..Dude is unreal.
Hello Chris ! Thanks for what you done, In all your reactions/teaching in the same time, you help me learn a lotswith my voice, even just by reacting to your videos! You ALSO make me discover The Charismatic Voice and Will Ramos, a HUGE thanks for that ! Honestly i adore all you expression and explications through all you teach us ! I have a request, i don't have seen any of Jacob lee Video Out There ! If you can do a Reaction to - Jacob lee - Demons (Hollow sessions) - i Would LOVE to see what you think about him ! a Recent discover for me and he Inspired me a lot into my music ! I hope you get to it ! Thanks again for all you do ! (Sorry for my bad english im French Canadian :) )
also people have interviewed him of this performance and he said he was sorry for it because he was sick and thought he did not sound good which is crazy
@@chrisliepe of course!! I've been playing guitar since I was 12 and I'm 40 next month, I'm pretty good at figuring most everything out on guitar except for maybe some crazy solos and eruption lol, but for the most part songs are easy enough to figure out. Bass guitar drums piano that's all super fun too and I understand the concept. But vocals are something I've always tried and was never able to quite get past a certain point until I started following Chris. 2-3 years I've been following as a fan and picking up anything I possibly can from this channel. I've been fortunate to join the class the last 2 months and I gotta say I'm learning alot. I'm also witnessing new students and old to singing getting hats in the ring and doing what they love even if it sounds weird they still do it and I'm seeing improvement from everyone, it's so neat to watch. Getting to my point lol, I've followed many many vocal coaches on you tube and they all might be great but I didn't get a single nugget of technique from any of them. What I love about Chris's channel and with his courses is that he literally sings and makes crazy weird noises and explains what he's doing to get these sounds and it's so eye opening. Being more open to doing these things because he's doing them.
Thank you for your reaction of their song again. FYI, He had a trouble with his throat at this time(though I LOVE his voice in this performance) Pls react their songs more in his best condition. I highly recommend "Ending story??"orchestra live,and "Mighty Long Fall"Day to Night acoustic sessions.
If you really want to listen to his range, check out his cover of Adele's Hello. OR all of these songs in the "studio jam sessions" because those are acoustic :) But this band is AMAZING. Keep it up reacting to them!
I think this was the show where Taka was actually sick and the show almost didn't go on. I can't believe he was able to sound like this, and it brought out one of the most touching and vulnerable shows they've ever done.
We've gotten Jonny Craig covering him on Seven Years on your channel, but I'd love to see you do a breakdown of any of Anthony Green's projects (Circa Survive, Saosin, TSOAF, or his solo stuff). His control is great, his timbre is unique, and his full voice range for a male singer just goes so insanely high.
He is the heir to the Chester lineage. He is the Next Chester Bennington and the first One Ok Rock Taka。Thanks for explaining about Taka's vocal technique! Still lots of their great songs
I'm so happy you're getting into one ok rock!! I'd love to see your analysis of another Japanese singer called TK (Toru Kitajima) He has a super unique way of singing where he's constantly in his head register, using either this really soft airy falsetto or a powerful mixed voice. I think his style is an amazing demonstration of vulnerability/emotion through imperfection. This is his most popular song with a full on scream in the middle (Unravel): ua-cam.com/video/GsLsBs4oW30/v-deo.html This one is a super emotional performance that made him tear up at the end (Copy Light): ua-cam.com/video/UMh0yLzNF2U/v-deo.html And this is his most recent song and it's just pure insanity (First Death): ua-cam.com/video/38ZkQcR1ZTs/v-deo.html
I was surprised by your polite explanation. I was thrilled with the commentary on my favorite song!" ! thank you! We think you'll be able to hear our exciting commentary on their song [Ending Story??], so please do!
I'd want you to hear Inochi no Tabekata to analyze Eve's voice (he's a male singer) Even though his voice changed since that time (it became less brash but still looks like he's hitting high notes easily in his latest release "Bokurano")
Thank you, Taka has a wonderful voice and talent ❤ He can sing live and acoustic at the same level. Please react "Adele Hello" (cover by Taka) I want my vocal coach to listen beautiful cover song he sings in the original key That's Incredible Blow away!
Hi Chris! Glad to see you discovering Taka! There are some amazing Japanese bands. Check out Loudness a classic rock 80's band from Japan "let it go" would be one of the many great songs. Great high pitch distortion I'm sure you'll like it.
If you like this vocal style Chris you really should check out Holding Absence - their singer Lucas Woodland is insanely good live and has this kind of emotion in his voice too. But he definitely uses lots more abandon in his style!
His family is all musicians, and his father and mother are singers that everyone in Japan knows. Taka's younger brother also works in a band called MY FIRST STORY and his name is Hiro.Listen to his brother's music, too
I think you should definitely check out their heavier songs like Cry out or Make it out alive, where he goes full metal scream :D and then goes back to angel Taka in a split second. I know he is modest about his vocal abilities (at least that's what he shows in interviews) but there's gotta be training there, I cannot imagine that he just naturally can control his voice to such subtleties without hundreds of hours of practice and getting vocal training. Also that he is consistent concert after concert, big or small venue, doesn't matter (I saw them in a 1000 people concert hall in Budapest. He still sounded the same as in these videos). There must be an understanding of techniques and how the voice works. Can't imagine some is just born with all these techniques :)) and if you listen to very early OOR performances from the early 2000s, you can actually see how much his vocal abilities changed over the years. he was NOWHERE near this good when OOR started out.
5 Seconds Of Summer did a collab with One Ok Rock on this song, but they never played this song together. Which is a shame because Michael Clifford has some rasp too especially on songs like Jet Black Heart which I highly recommend you check out (the version from the 10 year anniversary show is awesome).
I don't know if it's my attention span but i love the quick and snappy explanation rather than the one that feel like they're purposely dragging it to make the vid longer
This is awesome. Is there a little bit of live tuning going on it this? It kinda has that sound to me, although it might be tuning on the reverb. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I'm guessing it's there to get that modern vocal sound people are used to hearing.
One of the least offensive uses of tuning I've heard in a while. I actually like hearing voices wobble in and out a little. I'd really like to hear this without tuning
Thank you 😊 I love Taka's voice with One Ok Rock ❤ Auto-tuning in the comments??😢 Their live performances are amazing!! (Adele Hello Cover Bye From One Ok Rock) Please listen 🎵
What kind of delay or reverb effect is it used to get that kind of sustain? Specially in that long note of the song. You should resume those tutorials where you address that kind of things Chris, not only from the singing perspective but also production.
Chris liepe One ok rock just released a new song called make it out alive just a day ago. it has a linkin park or bmth vibes in it. would love to see you react on it
If I remember correctly, the 1 minute long moment of silence was for Chester Bennington. Chester was a HUGE inspiration to Taka.They knew each other, had multiple interactions and were supposed to perform together not long after Chester passed away.
This make a lot of sense why this felt similar to One more light. I mean the atmosphere
the 1 minute moment of silence is to underline the words coming after, "can you hear me? im trying to hear you, silence strikes like a hurricane" as if the silence of one minute was hard to endure
This song always give me chills
Taka's voice is amazing.
YES
Every time when someone said Taka (or OOR)'s voice reminds them Chester Bennington, I'm sooo glad to hear that. Cuz Taka respects Chester and OOR had a special relationship w/ Linkin Park.
Thanks Chris! These little studies of Taka’s voice are really inspiring!
Glad you like them!

Shinya Ishihara from Saucy Dog
ua-cam.com/video/1Ickywa4GBs/v-deo.html
Totally agree with you, there really are a lot of amazing Japanese singers, especially Rock Bands
There's too many grat vocalists from Japan, and each of them has their own unique vocal too. But my favorite will always be Kyo from Dir en Grey.
There is also his brother who is also a very good singer in his own right too
@@rileygshep7606 MFS?
I never get tired of watching people geek out over Takas vocals
I'm gonna be that good someday
I love the emotions he releases while simultaneously having this huge range and agility
The fact thet this man cried after covering Linkin Park at the memorial concert, because he felt that his peroformance wasn't good enough to honor him, speaks volumes. He is a great artist who takes his craft very seriously.
I think it is even more impressive that during this live Taka was sick yet he still gave one of the best live performances. period
When he is subtle and soft it's extreme and when he is aggressive it's extreme... he is really pretty amazing . most aggressive singers struggle to be subtle and vise versa.
This band is amazing it is so cool seeing you checking this out!
この時TAKAはひどく喉を痛めていました。かすれながらも絞り出された声はとても美しいです。
Thank you! What a great analysis. I hope you continue to their videos.
This band is really on another level. Even Toru, Ryota and Tomoya is on a different level. 🥺
Dude, your energy and excitement is so fun and contagious.

Mighty long fall

ONE OK ROCK never disappointed, i love them
He was sick during this performance. My fav band always
Wut? This is him when ill? Daaaaamn...
@@yueshijoorya601 yeah the concert was delayed cuz he was sick. he has insane control over his body.
Finally, I’m so happy that Taka is getting more attention and appreciation for his vocals. It’s been 4 years since I discovered them, but his vocals still make me so emotional

It's their texture and thoughtfulness about what they sing ultimately that makes it so amazing!
I'm a singer and every time I went to freak out about something Taka did with his voice, Chris reacted the exact same way I did and I'd respond to him like we were having a conversation lmao, love this reaction video!
im so blessed to see them live tomorow. itll be my first time and im so so so excited. taka is such an amazing singer-
BIG BIG recommendation is to listen to their 'studio jam sessions' , the accoustic versions of their songs are amazing and takas voice is so cleannnn
Awesome video with amazing analysis.
Taka’s voice is phenomenal! He’s a masterpiece himself🤘❤️🔥

I love how passionate you seem! Great reaction!
SOOO GOOOD !!!!
The expressiveness in his pained singing at the beginning is literally bringing tears to my eyes
Thanks you for One Ok Rock reaction ✨

Always a pleasure and really to see the next about taka

Another good performance of his mighty long fall from Japan live tour and documentary

thank you Criss because on this channel I am more daring to experiment with my voice
Yes. He is a very good thecher
Yos. He is the bestest thecher out here
I can easily say he's the best teacher on you tube lol, if your interested you should take his singing course.

Amo esta banda y pocas reacciones he visto de ellos pero son espectaculares y en vivo son superiores!!
I'm looking forward to watching your next OOR's reaction! I recommend you to watching "Stand out fit in"orchestra version.
I think this was the show where Taka was actually sick and the show almost didn't go on. I can't believe he was able to sound like this, and it brought out one of the most touching and vulnerable shows they've ever done.
oh ho, you must go to one of their lives, you can feel it more. chef's kiss 😌
We've gotten Jonny Craig covering him on Seven Years on your channel, but I'd love to see you do a breakdown of any of Anthony Green's projects (Circa Survive, Saosin, TSOAF, or his solo stuff).

9:01 my fave most beautiful vocal part... gets me every time
He is the heir to the Chester lineage. He is the Next Chester Bennington and the first One Ok Rock Taka。Thanks for explaining about Taka's vocal technique! Still lots of their great songs
Waiting for the next video from fans one ok rock ☺️
Check out his brother Hiro. He also sings in a rock band called My First Story
Thank you for your reaction✨

I think his style is an amazing demonstration of vulnerability/emotion through imperfection.

Hello by adel, this guy sang it more than you could ever imagine. Try it
I'd want you to hear Inochi no Tabekata to analyze Eve's voice (he's a male singer)
Even though his voice changed since that time (it became less brash but still looks like he's hitting high notes easily in his latest release "Bokurano")
Thank you, Taka has a wonderful voice and talent ❤ He can sing live and acoustic at the same level. Please react "Adele Hello" (cover by Taka) I want my vocal coach to listen beautiful cover song
he sings in the original key
That's Incredible
Blow away!
Hi Chris! Glad to see you discovering Taka!
There are some amazing Japanese bands. Check out Loudness a classic rock 80's band from Japan "let it go" would be one of the many great songs. Great high pitch distortion I'm sure you'll like it.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Taka's cover of Adele's Hello. It's a beautiful cover.
Taka and Gerard. You could easily have a long-running series about those two, for sure! Loved this video!! 😁
If you like this vocal style Chris you really should check out Holding Absence - their singer Lucas Woodland is insanely good live and has this kind of emotion in his voice too. But he definitely uses lots more abandon in his style!
Man alive... I'd love to hear u hit at that line at 5:45 in your own voice and really break it down for us
that silent moment was for Chester
Their Ending story?? and All mine Please!!
His family is all musicians, and his father and mother are singers that everyone in Japan knows.
Taka's younger brother also works in a band called MY FIRST STORY and his name is Hiro.Listen to his brother's music, too
I think you should definitely check out their heavier songs like Cry out or Make it out alive, where he goes full metal scream :D and then goes back to angel Taka in a split second. I know he is modest about his vocal abilities (at least that's what he shows in interviews) but there's gotta be training there, I cannot imagine that he just naturally can control his voice to such subtleties without hundreds of hours of practice and getting vocal training.

Next time react to Clock Strikes, more precisely in the 2017 Japan Tour, he hit a very long high note
bro... taka is just fawking good...
5 Seconds Of Summer did a collab with One Ok Rock on this song, but they never played this song together. Which is a shame because Michael Clifford has some rasp too especially on songs like Jet Black Heart which I highly recommend you check out (the version from the 10 year anniversary show is awesome).
Do a reaction to his hello cover for a real mind blow
Omg... I cried
I don't know if it's my attention span but i love the quick and snappy explanation rather than the one that feel like they're purposely dragging it to make the vid longer
ボーカルのTAKAはバンドを組む前、アイドルでした。しかし、そこでは彼の良さが100%出せなかったのでバンドを組み、世界に飛び立ちました😊
今の彼らは最高です！
Wow. you mimicking those vocal choices effortlessly is superb❤
I came here for heavy metal, I stayed for Chris liepe :D
Next for
Deeper Deeper live at yokohama stadium
or Liar live please!!
You should check out another Japanese band called " my first story " too , they have a wonderful vocalist .
ボーカルのhiroはtakaの弟です😊
His musical roots are in Linkin Park.
Taka is so so amazing
Next please One Ok Rock - Clock Strikes "Mighty Long Fall at Yokohama Stadium" LIVE
This is awesome. Is there a little bit of live tuning going on it this? It kinda has that sound to me, although it might be tuning on the reverb. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I'm guessing it's there to get that modern vocal sound people are used to hearing.
there is definitely some lite live tuning... you can hear it on some of the quiet parts especially.
One of the least offensive uses of tuning I've heard in a while. I actually like hearing voices wobble in and out a little. I'd really like to hear this without tuning
Thank you 😊 I love Taka's voice with One Ok Rock ❤ Auto-tuning in the comments??😢 Their live performances are amazing!! (Adele Hello Cover Bye From One Ok Rock) Please listen 🎵
What kind of delay or reverb effect is it used to get that kind of sustain? Specially in that long note of the song. You should resume those tutorials where you address that kind of things Chris, not only from the singing perspective but also production.
Chris liepe One ok rock just released a new song called make it out alive just a day ago.
it has a linkin park or bmth vibes in it. would love to see you react on it
