ABSOLUTELY LOST FOR WORDS - THIS WAS BREATHTAKING. ENDLESS RAIN? MORE LIKE ENDLESS AMAZEMENT. Be sure to check out ChaseAndRem.com for exclusive content!
The pianist, Yoshiki (58) from X Japan (a metal group), wrote and composed this song. It was released in 1989 as their first ballad. The story goes that some Sony execs saw him playing Tchaikovsky on a piano at a club while waiting to perform and asked him to create a ballad. Yoshiki has been playing piano and learning music theory since he was 4. He was in his first band at 12 in 1977 (I think a couple of years after his father committed suicide) and later created X Japan. This is basically their signature song. The group's lead singer (Toshi) was also pretty awesome. I found live performances from them 30 years ago. I think they even have one at the same venue (Tokyo Dome) from back then. Someone said Yoshiki left after this performance to go to the funeral of one of his bandmates that passed late October. If so, maybe this song was in honor of him. The singers here are the 2 youngest of TXT (21)... Taehyun (in black) and Kai (stage name HueningKai, in white). They said they don't usually like to perform covers, but when they found out who it was with and what song, they felt honored to do it. They said the sad song made them choke up a bit while singing it. They also wanted to take the opportunity to showcase how their vocals have improved from singing on tour. They are some of the few strong vocalists in k-pop that could sing this song so beautifully (with emotion, softness, power and control) and show such stage presence. This awards show was just last week. I'm not sure how long all the artists had to prepare, but it was lovely. Recommendations: TXT did an all live intimate session at Tiny Desk Korea recently where they performed 3 songs off their last album. They also have a whole concert posted on their UA-cam channel from when they headlined Lollapalooza (Chicago) this year. A little further back to March, they posted the first performance of their 2nd fan song Blue Spring, that they surprised everyone with during the first date of their world tour, on their channel. It's raw and emotional. It was also among the songs they performed at Lollapalooza. When the camera scanned the audience, it was so beautiful to see all the lights in the dark.
I didn't know he was attending to HEATH's funeral directly after this performance, and yes this ballad is one of the most iconic X Japan songs, beside of that is one of Yoshiki's most iconic compositions. About the video you say, yes there is one if I'm not wrong from the Last Live Concert in 1998 before Hide's death and I think there are some from the concerts before the Last Live and the one they had in 2004-2007 (I don't remember the exact year) when they reunited
@@nuriiaCR I don't think it's Heath's funeral? The news said the funeral was held right after his death. But I know in the morning of the same day of MAMA, it was Heath's flower giving ceremony, and Yoshiki played endless rain in the ceremony. The Last Live was in December 1997. Hide's death is 1998. Before the disbandment X used to hold concerts in Tokyo dome annually. There are so many versions of Endless Rain (in or out of Tokyo Dome) because it was their signature song. There is even a version with Paul Stanley and Sarah Brightman 🤣. My personal favourite is the Tokyo Dome 1992.1.7 version, which is the last performance before the former bassist Taiji leaving the band. It was a very emotional performance and I love how he played the prelude, the bass sounded amazing along with Yoshiki's piano.
@@lininrabbit Wow. I didn't know if the other person's comment I saw about the funeral was true or not (thanks for clarifying 😉), but it felt like it would be a wonderful gesture for him to play it there in memory of Heath.
@@lininrabbit Ohh okay, sorry I didn't search much about Heath's funeral and I didn't know when it was, for the flower giving ceremony I saw news with the video of him playing Endless Rain but I didn't know it was on the same day, maybe is the ceremony the other comment is explaining as well. Thanks for correcting me on the Las Live's date, yes it was on December 31st 1997 instead of in 1998. I like as well the version of 1992 before Taiji's leaving X and the vibe on that concert, but personally I still prefer the one of Las Live as in the moment I saw it for the first time I didn't know X Japan came back in 2007 (I was 11 back then). For the version with Paul Stanley I think I haven't heard that (so I'm going to search it 😂) and for the version with Sarah Brightman the one I know is the one they made on TV during covid with her, Sixtones, Baby Metal, LiSA, Milet, Brian May and Roger Taylor from Queen (they actually is one of my favs as now this ver at MAMA Awards is too)
@@fimefave I think most of the times he plays songs like Endless Rain or Tears (that wrote to his father), Without You (that wrote for Hide) and now Angel as well (that recently wrote for his mother) he performs all in memory of his beloved family and friends that are no longer with him, and in this case as the most recent lost was Heath's it would be in his memory
Taehyun, guy in black, of TXT, has trained in vocal grit addition, and has that beautiful high voice to carry us away. Hyuening Kai, in white is also of TXT. He has that strong confident voice.
Another praise for hueningkai, I'm so proud of him👏, the thing is not only does his voice sound like AI generated but his face is also like an ai generated angel which is so perfect 😭
Txt member yeonjun soobin and beomgyu were really enjoying their performance and yeonjun told taehyun and hueningkai that he was so proud of them ❤ I really loved this performance it was really great, when the whole crowd was singing and they showed the idols you can see soobin and yeonjun singing to the song they really loved it
17:11 it's such a rare technique indeed especially in kpop! other than k-rock bands i really don't see much of other's having the same execution as Taehyun does...he has been nailing those scratches since their iconic 2021 punk rock era but still manage to do it healthily 🫶 I'm glad to hear such perspective from someone who got musical background because people tend to dismiss their capabilities for not fitting in usual standards
Taehyun and HueningKai which were the singers in this collaboration are members of the 5 members kpop boy group txt! They're all so talented, and their music is absolutely one of the best in the industry, I need more txt reactions

I know how surprising and wonderful Taehyun's voice is but especially in this performance I felt very happy to see that more and more people are attracted to Taehyun's unique voice. 😭❤ My man is too talented he is an precious diamond, not for nothing he is the best vocal of his generation, I love you sooo much Kang Taehyun 🤧❤ thank you sm for the reaction. 🥲
Anton with the cello man all my respect for him 👏👏👏he play cello sense he was kid!!! nou with 19 year old playing in mama with "yoshiki a leyend"!!! Anton and his group having so much sucess so talent group Riize!!! i sing and play piano & guitar!!! music its most beautiful thing in this world ✨✨✨!!!!
The two vocalists are the maknaes(the two youngest members) of TXT. Them & the other members have very versatile voices which is why their pull many different genres & sounds. They are worth checking out, I suggest Their Song ''Skipping Stones''
the way i cried during the performance... it really pulls your heartstriings. Thank you Yoshiki for this song and kudos to TXT Hueningkai and Taehyun for delivering those heartwrenching and amazing vocals
What amazing about this performance that korean general public don't pay much attention to male idols fron the newer generations but this went kinda viral and they were surprised there are multi talented male idols out there
Thank you for reacting, kai n taehyun are the greatest vocalist of their generation imo. Somehow they give their rocky grit flaire on it makes me remember november rain from gnr. ❤
The endless rain performance by taehyun & hueningkai really changes lives. Bcs they embodies the original songs really well with their rock vocals but they also manage to make it melodic. Love that sm❤
txt are such a good vocal group the 2 members singing are part of the group you shoud react to their song blue spring! theres a studio and live version both are really great
Endless Rain was composed by Yoshiki (on piano) for his band X Japan. That's the reason why Anton (from Riize) needs to read the musical notes for the cello on this one, since this is not "his/their" song, it's more like him together with the boys from TXT and ZB1 are paying homage to Yoshiki-X Japan by singing-dancing-playing the cello with him on this performance.
Thanks for your analysis! I ask your viewers to PLEASE REMEMBER The Kpop artists featured on this special stage are *YOUNG* and appear in age order (oldest to youngest): TXT Taehyun 21 (vocalist), TXT HueningKai 21 (vocalist), BND Jaehyun 19 (rapper), RIIZE Anton (cello), 18 and ZB1 Hanyujin 16 (dancer). [International Age]. Their talent and performance skills defy their young ages. No matter which group(s) you may stan, please show them all some love for this brilliant performance. 💙 And love too to our not-quite-as-young leader Yoshiki !!!🎹
In X Japan's Last Live, the crowd of 50,000 at the Tokyo Dome sang the chorus repeatedly for 12 minutes, even after the band had stopped performing and left the stage
Thank you for reacting to this!!! I love when people talk about how singing works because I have no idea myself, I already knew Taehyun and Hueningkai were amazing vocalists but knowing that they're still working hard and practicing to be able to be this good and that they'll get even better in the future just makes me so proud ^u^
Hi, I loved your reaction to this performance! Taehyun and HueningKai which were the singers in this collaboration are members of the 5 members kpop boy group txt! They're all so talented, and their music is absolutely one of the best in the industry, I need more txt reactions!!🥹"
I'm so impressed by this performance. I knew the TXT boys can sing, but this is top notch. If you are interested in more music using a chello, I recommend the Korean band Hoppipolla. I think you will enjoy their song "Enough", the MV is almost 7 minutes, with lots of chello.
I'm glad to see that you are also talking about Yoshiki's greatness here, since there is not much about him in the comments of Mnet's videos. Taehyun said that he had a hard time deciding how much originality to put into this performance. Since it is a very famous song (especially since this is a performance in Japan.), he practiced while wondering how he should sing it or if he should put the essence of X JAPAN's way of singing. He sang in his own way, but I think he added some rock style singing at 16:05. It was so great. Their performance was so amazing and beautiful. I was in the audience and got goosebumps.
Thank you for the wonderful reaction, actually if you dive more about TXT you will actually amaze how talented this group is they all have beautiful distinct vocals and dance skills, so yeah they are really talented
I watched the clip over and over and still get goosebumps and tears. The young K artists are so outstanding to be able to collaborate with Yoshiki. Bravo to all!
Thank you so much for reacting to this! This performance was the best out of the whole show, absolutely breathtaking! I think you two would love Growing Pain by TXT. Please check it out! 🥰
The two vocalists, Taehyun and Hueningkai, are both really amazing singers and performers. They are the youngest in a five-member boygroup called TomorrowXTogether or simply, TXT.
Guys TXT is an awesome group please react to theur songs as well, especially their songs, frost, loser lover, back for more, skipping stones(entire freefall album if possible)
Yoshiki is leader for X Japan. H e wrote Endless Rain He lives in America, speaks fluent English and loves the country.Suggest you to check out more for X Japan and Yoshiki, they,re legendary.
@Countryroad__ OH wow! He's so young! Thank you for answering :) The only ppl I know from this collab is Taehyun & Kai, and I KIND OF know Jaehyun (I think that's his name) from seeing him cover Jungkook songs.
Wow you guys are the best reactors I've seen. I love your attention to details and analysis. Taehyun and Hueningkai, the two maknaes of TXT, are vocal powerhouses. Hueningkai plays a lot of instruments too. And they are both good dancers! Hope to watch you react to TXT.
I really loved learning about the vocal techniques they used! Fascinating and thanks for sharing. I would recommend giving a listen to their It’s Live performance of Farewell, Neverland. It’s live, but there is no audience - so no sound interference.
It will be YOSHIKI of the Japanese rock band X-JAPAN. YOSHIKI plays drums and piano. The song was EndlessRain and the two singers of TXT as well as the other participating artists were truly amazing. The location was Tokyo Dome, Japan. It is a baseball stadium with a capacity of 55,000 and Coldplay recently performed there. I have been there several times for live concerts, and it is a wonderful dome stadium with excellent acoustics and facilities.
I happened upon your channel today because of this reaction. This level of staging is very much the norm for the MAMA awards performances (although this performance in particular was IMO one of the best) - they always have elaborate lighting, sets, and amazing performers. If you look up the MAMA awards, you can find more excellent performances from this years show as well as previous years when groups like Stray Kids and BTS performed as well. The guy playing the cello was Anton (age 19) from the rookie group RIIZE and the dancer is Han Yujin (age 16 or 17) from the rookie group ZEROBASEONE. Both groups shared the rookie of the year award. You might want to give their groups MVs a listen as well (or watch their performances from the MAMA awards). To think both of those teenagers only just debuted this summer yet have such composure is remarkable. The rapper, Jaehyun is from another rookie group "BOYNEXTDOOR." recommendations: RIIZE "Get a Guitar" Zerobaseone "Crush" or "In Bloom" Boynextdoor "Serenade"
On a newly-released vlog, the cellist, Anton, said that he was just given the music score, but how it was played was all left to him. I’m utterly proud of him.
This is the MAMA Awards (Mnet Asian Music Awards) if I’m correct it the BIGGEST music award show in Asian. If you are performing at this you bring your biggest and best performance this is also why there are so many people and everything looks so expensive. This is also taking place at THE Tokyo Dome which is one of the biggest concert venues in Japan and for Kpop idols it is a HUGE deal to perform and even sell out at
Thanks so much guys for reacting to this incredible performance! I enjoyed your discussion of all aspects of the performance. As other's have commented, Yoshiki is an amazing musician, the composer of this piece and the founder of the heavy rock/metal band X-Japan. He has performed at Madison Square Garden with X-Japan and has had several orchestral concert performances at Carnegie Hall in NYC (all or parts of these are on UA-cam). As was mentioned by another commentor, this song is about Yoshiki dealing with his father's suicide, which occurred when Yoshiki was 10 years old. A second song he wrote about the impact of that event on his life and dealing with the aftermath is "Tears". Here is a link to X-Japan performing that song with Yoshiki on piano (although his principle instrument in X-Japan was drums) and Toshi on vocals (with English subtitles!): ua-cam.com/video/p7Si-UqvVv8/v-deo.htmlsi=TSWrZA6yHXbD1BAD In the 1990s X-Japan's record label, Sony, wanted to launch them in the US. They brought them to the US and arranged a large press conference. The US press was so ugly, criticizing them for not speaking English (although Yoshiki does) and telling them they couldn't hope to be successful in the US without speaking english. They actually intimidated the band who, as a result, decided not to launch in the US. So grateful that K-Pop has broken through, although sadly the US press is not a whole lot better than they were in the 1990s. Keep up your great reactions!
Toshi is the singer of the rock band x japan...yoshiki is the composer and the pianist of the group, x japan was one of the most popular rock band and not just in Asia for music lovers, endless rain is usually played only by x japan because yoshiki didn't like anyone to accompanying him beside toshi. This collab is probably the first time that yoshiki played infront of a public after the death of most of the members now.....(toshi is still alive 😊)
Hi!! BOYNEXTDOOR's fan here! Myung jaehyun's rap! (10:23) Was his own self written rap for the song! Here is the lyrics translation : Now wake from the dream Even though it’s a pity sometimes You smile when you don’t want to, you don’t have to do that It's like losing the last rose in the desert Even if you water it belatedly, it's a name that can't bloom I'm standing at the extreme point Spring will come soon Is it the winter that I've been waiting for that won’t pass You who have to grow up to be a child Stay with me until the rain stops, It's okay Thank you for reacting to this!! Everyone in the stage was amazing. I'm not entirely sure but I think it was a sound effect you guys were talking about, not back up vocals as it was his own voice. A little behind the story about his rap part is that he wrote it for the youngest member of the group who was having a tough time then! Its really special 🥺 You guys should definitely check out more from BOYNEXTDOOR, maybe tracks like "one & only" & "but sometimes" or "serenade" we hope you like it!!
Listening to both the original audio and the live version by X JAPAN has deepened my appreciation for this collaborative performance. I am especially moved by how Taehyun and Hueningkai have done justice to the song through their singing; it was truly magnificent, and impressive, and evoked strong emotions! ✨👏...I'm so proud of them 🥹🩵
I really enjoy these songs from awards ceremonies where different groups get together to do a performance. I had heard this song before I think but it never hit me as much until this rendition. After hearing it I looked up the lyrics and also looked up the original video by X Japan (the pianist was part of that group). It is a really good song and although I like the original I think I like this version better but that is also because of the mixed performance and instruments etc.
tbh with the sheet music thing, as someone who was in choir and an orchestral/marching band, singing is sooooo much easier than playing an instrument. its so much easier to mess up when playing an instrument vs vocals. most instrumentalists end up not needing the sheet music because they end up memorizing the song with practice, but its there just in case. and honestly memorizing songs for singing is a lot easier than with instruments too, it takes a lot less effort and time imo, and considering Anton is an idol he probably didnt have much time to memorize the song.
I wonder how performers for these songs are chosen. Yoshiki’s name is on the piano, so I knew something was special from before he started playing. I can’t imagine singing for the composer. I guess you figured out that the song was originally sung by the accompanist.
Yoshiki Channel has playlist of his classical works. X Japan has official channel with album songs in playlist, not all the albums are there. Yoshiki composed a classical anniversary piece for the Emperor of Japan. His new rock band called The Last Rockstars also has 2 singles out with MV. He composed the song Imitation Rain for the debut of JPop group Sixtones and Crazy Love for debut of XY. Does he stop there? No, he's flown to UK & Paris for premier of his movie Yoshiki: Under The Sky (he's the director) which features many other singers and groups. He did a premier in Japan of his movie and was joined by Godzilla! How many can say the did a photo op with Godzilla on the red carpet!😮 Also he composed I.V. the soundtrack for SAW IV. 😅😅
If you love the violin in Yellow Card I highly recommend the Korean band LUCY! Their UA-cam channel is called Lucy Island. They just released a new single Boogie Man, but can’t go wrong with any song. I love Flare, Snooze, Play…
Heuningkai voices is so amazing, It always gets me when kpop stans and moas try to discredit kai meanwhile the trained vocal coaches always praise his vocals.
The pianist, Yoshiki (58) from X Japan (a metal group), wrote and composed this song. It was released in 1989 as their first ballad. The story goes that some Sony execs saw him playing Tchaikovsky on a piano at a club while waiting to perform and asked him to create a ballad. Yoshiki has been playing piano and learning music theory since he was 4. He was in his first band at 12 in 1977 (I think a couple of years after his father committed suicide) and later created X Japan. This is basically their signature song. The group's lead singer (Toshi) was also pretty awesome. I found live performances from them 30 years ago. I think they even have one at the same venue (Tokyo Dome) from back then. Someone said Yoshiki left after this performance to go to the funeral of one of his bandmates that passed late October. If so, maybe this song was in honor of him.
The singers here are the 2 youngest of TXT (21)... Taehyun (in black) and Kai (stage name HueningKai, in white). They said they don't usually like to perform covers, but when they found out who it was with and what song, they felt honored to do it. They said the sad song made them choke up a bit while singing it. They also wanted to take the opportunity to showcase how their vocals have improved from singing on tour. They are some of the few strong vocalists in k-pop that could sing this song so beautifully (with emotion, softness, power and control) and show such stage presence.
This awards show was just last week. I'm not sure how long all the artists had to prepare, but it was lovely.
Recommendations: TXT did an all live intimate session at Tiny Desk Korea recently where they performed 3 songs off their last album. They also have a whole concert posted on their UA-cam channel from when they headlined Lollapalooza (Chicago) this year. A little further back to March, they posted the first performance of their 2nd fan song Blue Spring, that they surprised everyone with during the first date of their world tour, on their channel. It's raw and emotional. It was also among the songs they performed at Lollapalooza. When the camera scanned the audience, it was so beautiful to see all the lights in the dark.
I didn't know he was attending to HEATH's funeral directly after this performance, and yes this ballad is one of the most iconic X Japan songs, beside of that is one of Yoshiki's most iconic compositions.
About the video you say, yes there is one if I'm not wrong from the Last Live Concert in 1998 before Hide's death and I think there are some from the concerts before the Last Live and the one they had in 2004-2007 (I don't remember the exact year) when they reunited
@@nuriiaCR I don't think it's Heath's funeral? The news said the funeral was held right after his death. But I know in the morning of the same day of MAMA, it was Heath's flower giving ceremony, and Yoshiki played endless rain in the ceremony.
The Last Live was in December 1997. Hide's death is 1998. Before the disbandment X used to hold concerts in Tokyo dome annually. There are so many versions of Endless Rain (in or out of Tokyo Dome) because it was their signature song. There is even a version with Paul Stanley and Sarah Brightman 🤣. My personal favourite is the Tokyo Dome 1992.1.7 version, which is the last performance before the former bassist Taiji leaving the band. It was a very emotional performance and I love how he played the prelude, the bass sounded amazing along with Yoshiki's piano.
@@lininrabbit Wow. I didn't know if the other person's comment I saw about the funeral was true or not (thanks for clarifying 😉), but it felt like it would be a wonderful gesture for him to play it there in memory of Heath.
@@lininrabbit Ohh okay, sorry I didn't search much about Heath's funeral and I didn't know when it was, for the flower giving ceremony I saw news with the video of him playing Endless Rain but I didn't know it was on the same day, maybe is the ceremony the other comment is explaining as well.
Thanks for correcting me on the Las Live's date, yes it was on December 31st 1997 instead of in 1998. I like as well the version of 1992 before Taiji's leaving X and the vibe on that concert, but personally I still prefer the one of Las Live as in the moment I saw it for the first time I didn't know X Japan came back in 2007 (I was 11 back then).
For the version with Paul Stanley I think I haven't heard that (so I'm going to search it 😂) and for the version with Sarah Brightman the one I know is the one they made on TV during covid with her, Sixtones, Baby Metal, LiSA, Milet, Brian May and Roger Taylor from Queen (they actually is one of my favs as now this ver at MAMA Awards is too)
@@fimefave I think most of the times he plays songs like Endless Rain or Tears (that wrote to his father), Without You (that wrote for Hide) and now Angel as well (that recently wrote for his mother) he performs all in memory of his beloved family and friends that are no longer with him, and in this case as the most recent lost was Heath's it would be in his memory

I'm glad to see that you are also talking about Yoshiki's greatness here, since there is not much about him in the comments of Mnet's videos.
Taehyun said that he had a hard time deciding how much originality to put into this performance. Since it is a very famous song (especially since this is a performance in Japan.), he practiced while wondering how he should sing it or if he should put the essence of X JAPAN's way of singing.
He sang in his own way, but I think he added some rock style singing at 16:05. It was so great.
Their performance was so amazing and beautiful. I was in the audience and got goosebumps.
Thank you for the wonderful reaction, actually if you dive more about TXT you will actually amaze how talented this group is they all have beautiful distinct vocals and dance skills, so yeah they are really talented
I watched the clip over and over and still get goosebumps and tears. The young K artists are so outstanding to be able to collaborate with Yoshiki. Bravo to all!
Thank you so much for reacting to this! This performance was the best out of the whole show, absolutely breathtaking!
I think you two would love Growing Pain by TXT. Please check it out! 🥰
At 10:53 myung jaehyun (the rapper) actually wrote his own rap for the song and was made for one of his members (woonhak) who's having a hard time🥹
The two vocalists, Taehyun and Hueningkai, are both really amazing singers and performers. They are the youngest in a five-member boygroup called TomorrowXTogether or simply, TXT.
Guys TXT is an awesome group please react to theur songs as well, especially their songs, frost, loser lover, back for more, skipping stones(entire freefall album if possible)
That ending note was beautiful, especially adding to that the vibrato
this performance literally put me in tears 😭 it was damn good
Thans for reacting, you should watch more from txt they're and incredible group with a great variety of genres and great vocals❤
If you love rock, they also have a new song that they did called 'Growing pain' of their new album. Would love to see you check it out ❤
Yoshiki is leader for X Japan. H e wrote Endless Rain He lives in America, speaks fluent English and loves the country.Suggest you to check out more for X Japan and Yoshiki, they,re legendary.
18:54 M so proud of Han Yujin, he is a lil kid and dancing in front of this big crowd with these big names ,he ll definitely be a big name in future.
How old is he? 🥺
@@MandyMoon12 hez 16 years old
@Countryroad__ OH wow! He's so young! Thank you for answering :) The only ppl I know from this collab is Taehyun & Kai, and I KIND OF know Jaehyun (I think that's his name) from seeing him cover Jungkook songs.
If you like music, please check out txt's recent album The Name Chapter: Freefall. The album is a masterpiece.
Wow you guys are the best reactors I've seen. I love your attention to details and analysis. Taehyun and Hueningkai, the two maknaes of TXT, are vocal powerhouses. Hueningkai plays a lot of instruments too. And they are both good dancers! Hope to watch you react to TXT.
time to go rewatch the performance for the 100+ time since it was released 🚶🏻♀️
It was held in the Tokyo Dome I think. That place is massive
it wasss
I really loved learning about the vocal techniques they used! Fascinating and thanks for sharing. I would recommend giving a listen to their It’s Live performance of Farewell, Neverland. It’s live, but there is no audience - so no sound interference.
More txt they’re amazing ❤ you should check out their tiny desk performance!
18:40 and he is only 16!!! His name is Yujin. the youngest member of Zerobaseone
Being a army so proud of Kai and taeyan
from txt. I love BTS and there younger brothers TXT.So beautiful classic song.
It will be YOSHIKI of the Japanese rock band X-JAPAN.
YOSHIKI plays drums and piano.
The song was EndlessRain and the two singers of TXT as well as the other participating artists were truly amazing.
The location was Tokyo Dome, Japan.
It is a baseball stadium with a capacity of 55,000 and Coldplay recently performed there.
I have been there several times for live concerts, and it is a wonderful dome stadium with excellent acoustics and facilities.
I happened upon your channel today because of this reaction. This level of staging is very much the norm for the MAMA awards performances (although this performance in particular was IMO one of the best) - they always have elaborate lighting, sets, and amazing performers. If you look up the MAMA awards, you can find more excellent performances from this years show as well as previous years when groups like Stray Kids and BTS performed as well.
The guy playing the cello was Anton (age 19) from the rookie group RIIZE and the dancer is Han Yujin (age 16 or 17) from the rookie group ZEROBASEONE. Both groups shared the rookie of the year award. You might want to give their groups MVs a listen as well (or watch their performances from the MAMA awards). To think both of those teenagers only just debuted this summer yet have such composure is remarkable. The rapper, Jaehyun is from another rookie group "BOYNEXTDOOR."
recommendations:
RIIZE "Get a Guitar"
Zerobaseone "Crush" or "In Bloom"
Boynextdoor "Serenade"
the one dancing, han yujin is just 16 years old btw, our baby
Hi! please react to Growing Pain by TXT ❤
Yeah you’ll really love it ❤
A multilingual song,only in Asia .
On a newly-released vlog, the cellist, Anton, said that he was just given the music score, but how it was played was all left to him. I’m utterly proud of him.
This is the MAMA Awards (Mnet Asian Music Awards) if I’m correct it the BIGGEST music award show in Asian. If you are performing at this you bring your biggest and best performance this is also why there are so many people and everything looks so expensive. This is also taking place at THE Tokyo Dome which is one of the biggest concert venues in Japan and for Kpop idols it is a HUGE deal to perform and even sell out at
Yoshiki he the leader of X Japan the legend j rock in Japan 😊 sorry for my English 😅
This performance was the best!! As a moa I'm so proud of Huening kai and Taehyun and that song is so beautiful!!
you had the exact reaction I did... I was blown away
Anton from #riize ❤
Thanks for sharing your genuine opinion as always! Respect 🙏💜🥹.
Thank you for the excellent recommendations as always. And thank you so much for your support for our show!
Thanks so much guys for reacting to this incredible performance! I enjoyed your discussion of all aspects of the performance. As other's have commented, Yoshiki is an amazing musician, the composer of this piece and the founder of the heavy rock/metal band X-Japan. He has performed at Madison Square Garden with X-Japan and has had several orchestral concert performances at Carnegie Hall in NYC (all or parts of these are on UA-cam). As was mentioned by another commentor, this song is about Yoshiki dealing with his father's suicide, which occurred when Yoshiki was 10 years old. A second song he wrote about the impact of that event on his life and dealing with the aftermath is "Tears". Here is a link to X-Japan performing that song with Yoshiki on piano (although his principle instrument in X-Japan was drums) and Toshi on vocals (with English subtitles!):
ua-cam.com/video/p7Si-UqvVv8/v-deo.htmlsi=TSWrZA6yHXbD1BAD
In the 1990s X-Japan's record label, Sony, wanted to launch them in the US. They brought them to the US and arranged a large press conference. The US press was so ugly, criticizing them for not speaking English (although Yoshiki does) and telling them they couldn't hope to be successful in the US without speaking english. They actually intimidated the band who, as a result, decided not to launch in the US. So grateful that K-Pop has broken through, although sadly the US press is not a whole lot better than they were in the 1990s.
Keep up your great reactions!
Great reaction & dissection, Guys! Thanks! ❤❤
Toshi is the singer of the rock band x japan...yoshiki is the composer and the pianist of the group, x japan was one of the most popular rock band and not just in Asia for music lovers, endless rain is usually played only by x japan because yoshiki didn't like anyone to accompanying him beside toshi. This collab is probably the first time that yoshiki played infront of a public after the death of most of the members now.....(toshi is still alive 😊)
And it's Tokyo dome😅 they were in the biggest stadium of japan.
Hi!! BOYNEXTDOOR's fan here!
Myung jaehyun's rap! (10:23)
Was his own self written rap for the song! Here is the lyrics translation :
Now wake from the dream
Even though it’s a pity sometimes
You smile when you don’t want to, you don’t have to do that
It's like losing the last rose in the desert
Even if you water it belatedly, it's a name that can't bloom
I'm standing at the extreme point
Spring will come soon
Is it the winter that I've been waiting for that won’t pass
You who have to grow up to be a child
Stay with me until the rain stops, It's okay
Thank you for reacting to this!! Everyone in the stage was amazing. I'm not entirely sure but I think it was a sound effect you guys were talking about, not back up vocals as it was his own voice. A little behind the story about his rap part is that he wrote it for the youngest member of the group who was having a tough time then! Its really special 🥺
You guys should definitely check out more from BOYNEXTDOOR, maybe tracks like "one & only" & "but sometimes" or "serenade" we hope you like it!!
"Truly elite" 🥺
Listening to both the original audio and the live version by X JAPAN has deepened my appreciation for this collaborative performance. I am especially moved by how Taehyun and Hueningkai have done justice to the song through their singing; it was truly magnificent, and impressive, and evoked strong emotions! ✨👏...I'm so proud of them 🥹🩵
Please react to more TXT songs (Black and White Vocalists are members)
So proud of you Anton. He is very Talented guy
Anton's Riize😊😊 so handsome 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I really enjoy these songs from awards ceremonies where different groups get together to do a performance. I had heard this song before I think but it never hit me as much until this rendition. After hearing it I looked up the lyrics and also looked up the original video by X Japan (the pianist was part of that group). It is a really good song and although I like the original I think I like this version better but that is also because of the mixed performance and instruments etc.
Thanks for reacting to this performance!!!
tbh with the sheet music thing, as someone who was in choir and an orchestral/marching band, singing is sooooo much easier than playing an instrument. its so much easier to mess up when playing an instrument vs vocals. most instrumentalists end up not needing the sheet music because they end up memorizing the song with practice, but its there just in case. and honestly memorizing songs for singing is a lot easier than with instruments too, it takes a lot less effort and time imo, and considering Anton is an idol he probably didnt have much time to memorize the song.
Next ZeroBaseOne 's MAMA performance plz
Thank you so much for reacting ❤❤
Hi the one dancing is Han Yu-jin he
Is the y
Sorry youngest member of zerobaseone
They only debut 10TH July 2023 . He is only 16 and he have only 2yr of dancing under the belt 😊
I wonder how performers for these songs are chosen. Yoshiki’s name is on the piano, so I knew something was special from before he started playing. I can’t imagine singing for the composer. I guess you figured out that the song was originally sung by the accompanist.
Yoshiki Channel has playlist of his classical works. X Japan has official channel with album songs in playlist, not all the albums are there. Yoshiki composed a classical anniversary piece for the Emperor of Japan. His new rock band called The Last Rockstars also has 2 singles out with MV. He composed the song Imitation Rain for the debut of JPop group Sixtones and Crazy Love for debut of XY. Does he stop there? No, he's flown to UK & Paris for premier of his movie Yoshiki: Under The Sky (he's the director) which features many other singers and groups. He did a premier in Japan of his movie and was joined by Godzilla! How many can say the did a photo op with Godzilla on the red carpet!😮 Also he composed I.V. the soundtrack for SAW IV. 😅😅
Documentaries "We Are X" & "Japan's Most Controversial Band"
Also RM from BTS is a fan of Yoshiki.
My boy Anton is really talented
So proud of TXT Taehyun and Kai 💖
Please react riize mama performance, cause it soo lit :)
If you love the violin in Yellow Card I highly recommend the Korean band LUCY! Their UA-cam channel is called Lucy Island. They just released a new single Boogie Man, but can’t go wrong with any song. I love Flare, Snooze, Play…
txt members taehyun and hueningkai never disappoint, their voices are amazing.
Heuningkai voices is so amazing, It always gets me when kpop stans and moas try to discredit kai meanwhile the trained vocal coaches always praise his vocals.
Taehyun has a UA-cam channel named academy reincarnation
I hope to see your reaction to the episodes he has dropped soon
I loved todays reaction
I think a MOA posted a clip from this video on Twitter. Or I dreamt it lol
Please react to TXT vocals more!!!!
You should watch colour code lyric ....
