She is a nurse. She seems to have had many difficult experiences at work. Her very gentle and strong singing voice probably comes from her experiences. She is not well known in Japan yet, but she is a dynamic singer, so she may become popular overseas.🙏🙏🙏
Hello Mr.JohnReaves. My name is 4K.makoto and I shot Upiko's MV. Thank you for featuring Upiko. Her songs and singing voice are amazing. Please continue to pay attention.
I’m Swedish but I’ve been living in Japan for 27+ years. There are so many hidden gems in this country. Once you can get over the language barrier, you’ll enjoy it. Including all the crazy good anime
An American metal vocalist introducing this beautiful, mesmerizing young Japanese female artist to an ordinary Japanese “obasan”-middle aged woman😂 What a wonderful world we are living in today ❤
She is my favourite Japanese singer. Powerful and unique voice, emotions on point and simply by listening she manages to make me feel like I'm in a battle I can actually win
The song is good, the singing is good, the voice is good, and the lyrics are superrrr.. hits yiu eight in the feels. And when you actually imagine the scene portrayed by the lyrics, it adds so much more impact to the whole song. Makes me wanna cry listening to it.
I'm Brazilian and I've been consuming Japanese music for over 12 years. I can say that I listen to many incredible Japanese artists, but Upiko has become my favorite. She is insane.
From the moment I heard this song, it spoke to me in many ways. She is another artist who can capture emotion and feelings in her music. Such a gifted vocalist and songwriter. I can't listen to her enough and have listened through her entire catalog on you tube.
I'm a big fan of ``UPIKO'', so thank you for featuring her CROW and explaining it to me. At her live performance, she sings with 100 times more power than this MV, giving you goosebumps and tears. I think her songs are a necessary message in this day and age, and she will be performing live in Kassel, Germany on October 4th and 5th. CROW is great, but ``Lotus'' and ``Human Scramble'' are also great, so please give them a listen.
Fantastic reaction John! I found Upiko a couple of months ago. Subsribed to her immediately. She is phenomenal. I want all her music! Her latest song is Human Scramble. It is heart wrenching. Her voice expresses so many feelings with such range. Her livestreams are on UA-cam. Her personality is so engaging, it's hard not to fall for her. One in a million.
I just found her yesterday! I’m blown away! Finally, found my crush! 😂 there’s another song called Human Scramble! That will leave you in tears! Great emotions and excellent delivery
Thank you for your comment. What's amazing about her, of course, is her singing ability, but she also writes and composes the songs herself. The content of her lyrics represents life itself, and she is able to express the content of those lyrics through her songs. It's a wonderful song. (Translation software was used.)
I got to know her on instagram like 5 years ago when she did some sweet short song covers. After some time, she moved to UA-cam where she had a slow start, but steadily moving up. Still, she rises. She sings with so much emotions and is able to channel them through her voice. There are many talented singer-songwriters in Japan, but I believe she is only one TikTok hit away from becoming one of the best known in her country (these days many talented Japanese musicians get famous through TikTok; it doesn't even have to be a dancable song). Once she did an amazing cover of Maru no Uchi Sadistic (丸の内サディスティック), which doesn't seem to be online anymore.
OK, now that she's got you warmed up, check out this new release she dropped 9 days ago. You will need a box of tissues (maybe 2) for this one. She goes next level in the passion department. Really intense! I watched Wave Potter do a reaction to it. He normally has a lot to say, but his face was just frozen through most of it.

Instantly hit the subscribe button after hearing this song 5 months ago. Her other songs are also dark, sad, and brutal, but she presents them elegantly. This カラス song gives me goosebumps literally every single time hearing it. Amazing woman. It's a shame they took down majority of her songs on Spotify.
this, is a reaction... not because of the song reacted (amazing on his own), but because of the honest reaction. sometimes not some dude who lived under a rock reacting to the most famous songs of music history pretending to never heard of them.
Her voice is really amazing !! She’s releasing an English version this week (June 5th) but unfortunately her English needs a lot of improvement yet. Anyway, Japanese version is wonderful and made us feel the whole emotion even though I don’t understand anything she’s singing 😅
Her live streams are on her YT channel, every Tuesday and Friday at 7 a.m. PDT/10 a.m. EDT. If you wanna communicate with her you'd better write in Japanese or use a translator app.
This song man, jesus it hurts me every time, even after a hundred listens. She is insanely talented, as other mentioned her recent song human scramble is.... a lot. the way she wrotes her songs idk it touches you everytime
I HATE YOU JOHN!!!! First you got me to listen (and fall in love with Band-Maid) and now you just added another Japanese artist to my list. My colleagues in Japan are going to think I have lost my mind. It also reminded me I need to start studying my Japanese more because I really want to "feel" the lyrics.
Japanese always had insane musician and vocalist with crazy unique vocals and they always had original work
She is a nurse. She seems to have had many difficult experiences at work. Her very gentle and strong singing voice probably comes from her experiences. She is not well known in Japan yet, but she is a dynamic singer, so she may become popular overseas.🙏🙏🙏
Where did you find this info, I also saw this kind of info on other videos but when I try to find for sources on the internet I find nothing…
Hello Mr.JohnReaves.
My name is 4K.makoto and I shot Upiko's MV.
Thank you for featuring Upiko.
Her songs and singing voice are amazing.
Please continue to pay attention.
Ohhhhh I love your channel!! I’ll be in Tokyo 9/13-9/17 if you know of any good street shows to check out!
I am Japanese.It's a song that should be spread to society.
How can I not agree?! That’s brutal, raw and so transparently honest

よくある外国人が日本のアーティストをリアクションする動画のように、途中でブツブツ切って止めてコメントするようなことをせずに、ワンコーラス聴いてから間奏でコメントしてるところが、アーティストの楽曲へのリスペクトも感じられて非常に好感が持てる👏👏
Seen her yesterday and today at a festival. She was absolutely astonishing. The voice, the power, the person absolutely mesmerizing. Big fan of her!!
She stunned me with her voice, her eyes, the poetry in her lyrics and her style. What a woman. Japanese musicians are something else.
Wow! What a brutal song! So easy to relate to! Damn! I’m blown away!
The song is good, the singing is good, the voice is good, and the lyrics are superrrr.. hits yiu eight in the feels. And when you actually imagine the scene portrayed by the lyrics, it adds so much more impact to the whole song. Makes me wanna cry listening to it.
For people interested she also got a new song that came out recently Warriors with broken wings. Just as good if not better.
うっぴーが外国の方に知って頂き、日本人として誇らしいです。

うぴ子は過小評価されてるんじゃないですか？あまり知られてないから、特にうちの国で（日本ではわかりませんけど）。
こんな立派で天才的な歌手はもっと知られてほしい。
@@phianzzz これは本当に奇妙なことですが、私は友人を通じて彼女を知りました。私は日本の作家の曲を毎日聴いているにもかかわらず、UA-cam が私に彼女のチャンネルを勧めたことはありませんでした。
i never knew vocals could make me cry until i listened to this song
Thanks for featuring UPIKO.
We are very proud of you.
This amazing lady is unbelieveable 🔥❤️🙏🏻 Her ” Human Scramble”-song hits me hard. What a voice, what a performer.
I can't describe how amazing it was.Amazing!!
From the moment I heard this song, it spoke to me in many ways. She is another artist who can capture emotion and feelings in her music. Such a gifted vocalist and songwriter. I can't listen to her enough and have listened through her entire catalog on you tube.
She also does excellent live streams with guitar and vocals. Truly a gem.🤩👍👍
I'm addicted to Upiko's Crow song. It's so good, it's hard to find a word for it!
I can't watch this music video without crying.

Thank you for sharing ❤. I’m a Japanese and OOR😊 I haven’t know her. I dropped her voice‼️

When the first time i heard this song, i've got goosebump bro...she's just simply amazing 🔥❤
The crazy thing is how young she is. She has that much richness in her voice at only 20 years old.
@@pigeonchatter4536 Really? In one of her live streams she said she was 20 earlier this year.
@@pigeonchatter4536 She said it in English to a question in English in the chat. Maybe she made a language mistake.
Amazing. Her voice is similar to Muyuki Nakajima💕
Great reaction, she’s awesome, watched this performance many many times
ive seen a people who dont like the last run but ive been obsessed since the song came out, its insane i absolutely love it
Adoro a Upiko, la conocí por casualidad

😮 wow thank u for reacting to this song..🫡
It's one of the most amazing songs out there.. but so overlooked and not that appreciated✨
thank you🎉 I love UPIKOsongs
arigatou🍻🌸
Not gonna lie... This song had me in tears, it broke me when I turned on the lyrics... I mean the singing alone is amazing but the lyrics...
cool, thanks, i subscribed upico

si escuchas la canción es como si hubiera una orquesta o fuera una guitarra eléctrica acompañandola y un piano, es arte
La mejor parte es cuando dice un cuervo herido separado que vuela lejos donde se pone el sol y dice no es demasiado para que muramos tu y yo

i think you should do broken by lund its an "emo" song lol but the beat and his vocals are amazing
솔직한 감상평으로는 이분 다른 노래는 별론데 CROW란 곡은 진짜 찰떡임. 목소리랑도 너무 잘 어울리고....
One of my favorite songs to listen to lately.
Wao!! Thts everybody reaction!!! Upiko 🔥🔥🔥
For me is her vibrato... 🫠
this, is a reaction... not because of the song reacted (amazing on his own), but because of the honest reaction. sometimes not some dude who lived under a rock reacting to the most famous songs of music history pretending to never heard of them.
I saw her first !!! Don't try to steal !!!!!
😁😍
3:40 this is my favorite part of her song❤
Her voice is really amazing !!
She’s releasing an English version this week (June 5th) but unfortunately her English needs a lot of improvement yet.
Anyway, Japanese version is wonderful and made us feel the whole emotion even though I don’t understand anything she’s singing 😅
Reminds me of the golden age of French Chanson. Piaf, Brel, Bécaud and Aznavour.
She has just released the English today
Just for your information she just released the English version. So you should check it out.
Wow. I´ve never heard anything like this.
This song should be in the new crow movie!
You need to check out her newest song HUMAN SCRAMBLE, it’s unbelievable
Her live streams are on her YT channel, every Tuesday and Friday at 7 a.m. PDT/10 a.m. EDT.
If you wanna communicate with her you'd better write in Japanese or use a translator app.
And, after all, this is her song, her music, her words
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
She should do First Take.
I'll take a ring, take a plane to Japan and take a proposion 😍
Great emotional reaction. There is an English version of this song that Upiko sings, also.
And her outfit literally resembles a crow.
I would love to see what her and Minami can do working together.

I HATE YOU JOHN!!!! First you got me to listen (and fall in love with Band-Maid) and now you just added another Japanese artist to my list. My colleagues in Japan are going to think I have lost my mind. It also reminded me I need to start studying my Japanese more because I really want to "feel" the lyrics.
