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.

This song always give me chills Taka's voice is amazing.

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…

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 really on another level. Even Toru, Ryota and Tomoya is on a different level. 🥺

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

Thanks Chris! These little studies of Taka’s voice are really inspiring!

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。

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 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

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

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.

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

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

It's their texture and thoughtfulness about what they sing ultimately that makes it so amazing!

Taka’s voice is phenomenal! He’s a masterpiece himself🤘❤️‍🔥

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

ONE OK ROCK never disappointed, i love them

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.

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

Thank you! What a great analysis. I hope you continue to their videos.

Vulnerability... That is the perfect word to to explain it... I'm so amazed and in love how you explained what Taka was expressing

Dude, your energy and excitement is so fun and contagious.

TAKA'S emotional voice♥️ More ONE OK ROCK please.

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.

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 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!

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-

Awesome video with amazing analysis.

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

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

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🎵

more ONE OK ROCK please!!

Thanks you for One Ok Rock reaction ✨

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 🙈

How lovely you mentioned chester here 🥺 taka and chester know each other and supposed to have a live show together before chester gone

This performance is amazing too Another good performance of his mighty long fall from Japan live tour and documentary

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 🎵

Please react more on ONE OK ROCK...i can't wait!🔥🔥🔥

I love how passionate you seem! Great reaction!

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

Love it how he explains everything regarding to taka voice also very nice reaction 👍

The expressiveness in his pained singing at the beginning is literally bringing tears to my eyes

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!

Keep'em coming, Chris!

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.

Always a pleasure and really to see the next about taka

i love your vocal analysis.

Taka's from another world

SOOO GOOOD !!!!

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

Check out his brother Hiro. He also sings in a rock band called My First Story

Amo esta banda y pocas reacciones he visto de ellos pero son espectaculares y en vivo son superiores!!

i love, that you arent affraid to analyse singers from japan, singing in other languages! amazing work!

Thank you for your reaction✨

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!

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

Please give your reaction about ONE OK ROCK 'Good good bye' Live 2015 Tour 35xxxv ,please!

Waiting for the next video from fans one ok rock ☺️

I'm looking forward to watching your next OOR's reaction! I recommend you to watching "Stand out fit in"orchestra version.

Taka's voice always make me goosebumps

Hello by adel, this guy sang it more than you could ever imagine. Try it

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).

@@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.

Their Ending story?? and All mine Please!!

that silent moment was for Chester

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!

oh ho, you must go to one of their lives, you can feel it more. chef's kiss 😌

thanks! from japan

I would love to hear your thoughts on Taka's cover of Adele's Hello. It's a beautiful cover.

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

Taka and Gerard. You could easily have a long-running series about those two, for sure! Loved this video!! 😁

I noticed that Taka reminds me of Bon Jovi sometimes.

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 :) )

His musical roots are in Linkin Park.

Next time react to Clock Strikes, more precisely in the 2017 Japan Tour, he hit a very long high note

Do a reaction to his hello cover for a real mind blow

very nice

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")

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

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!

I came here for heavy metal, I stayed for Chris liepe :D

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.

Taka is so so amazing Next please One Ok Rock - Clock Strikes "Mighty Long Fall at Yokohama Stadium" LIVE

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): kzread.info/dash/bejne/eaeA1aSsZNK9Y5M.html This one is a super emotional performance that made him tear up at the end (Copy Light): kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4GcktuFqrGsYrg.html And this is his most recent song and it's just pure insanity (First Death): kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWyOzbOcgpTAhNY.html

bro... taka is just fawking good...

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.

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.

Next for Deeper Deeper live at yokohama stadium or Liar live please!!

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

Judging from your reaction, you def. have to analyse Conor Mason from Nothing But Thieves. If I had that vocal ability I'd be happy. (Edit: just saw that you did haha)
