As many have said, Lisa is a grandmaster level singer with years of experience. Yeah, she's just that good. The emotion was real. The world and her found out her husband was cheating on her with groupies around this time. She was singing to someone.

There are many great Japanese singers and bands in all different types and styles. Some that are notable are Wagakki Band (traditional Japanese music mixed with rock, award wining singer/poet asked for help keeping Traditional Japanese music alive this was the result), Band-Maid (Hard Rock juxtaposed with maid outfits, excellent singer/musicians), Lovebites (Power Metal with Thrash, clean vocals, excellent singer, excellent musicians), and Nemophila (Generic Metal/Metalcore, clean and harsh vocals, excellent singer, excellent musicians), and Babymetal (JPop crossed with Metal, excellent singer).

The amount of times this woman has made me cry still astounds me. She’s such an amazing artist. I hope you dive deeper into her discography

I think jts funny that Rach talks about the breathing and how important breathing is.... Because of where this song is more or less highlighted. Rengokusaaaan!

you understand this artist more than most of us even if you don't know our language.

I think you were trying to say that "her articulation sounds very precise even if it is in a non familiar language"

i love how every person that comes across Lisa on THE FIRST TAKE just fall in love with her., your awe is what everybody felt the first time listening to her<3

Don't miss Gurenge on The first take from LiSA.

Lisa is amazing i love her and i feel so proud is one Idol awesone ❤

If yoy know the anime this for.. Its a super sad song it hurts remembering the moments of the sad parts of the anime

"Lucky" you that you dont know the context of this song. Cant listen to it without crying.

Ex audio-tech here, the thing she has her hand on is a personal monitor mixing station.

No other performer ever gives me goosebumps like LiSA her voice is one of the best out there.

LiSA is amazing. You're right that it was very clear and precise. She's a perfectionist. Everything is perfectly crafted and enunciated. That said, her superpower is that she sings with all of her emotion, and it comes out in her songs, and it is fascinating to see that perfectionism come up against her desire to sign with emotion and give it her all, because a couple of times towards the end, her voice cracked a little as she was almost overcome by emotion, which made the performance, so, so much better. She talks about it in the end, where she said she gave it her all, like she would at a show. She's not kidding. There's a video out there of her completely losing it and collapsing in tears during a concert at the end of a song, but to her credit, she made it through the song, despite the fact that you could tell she was completely overcome in the last verse. Another video, same song, she almost loses it, but doesn't. What a beautiful soul to be able to sing and be that vulnerable.

The look of anticipation on your face at the start was priceless. Another genuine reaction.

Just found your channel today and you have great taste in music. You have a very honest reaction keep it up.

I've noticed that sometimes listening to a song in a foreign language results in concentrating on the emotion intended as you can't really get that from the lyric even with subtitles as you don't know what syllable the emotion is directed at. This singer was able to convey her feelings quite well.......loved the little speech about what the song meant and did to her, and her ability to evoke emotion, I was tempted to call her the "Japanese Ren" (or "yen" beat you to it) Interesting choice to use a side shot of her singing rather than the traditional front face view.. Wonder if that was the choice because the language e would be foreign to many or most viewers. Regardless, if you won't say it, I will say this about the performance;://

Please do more Lisa, she is an awesome artist. Would love to see more reactions to her. She also has other songs on the "First Take" channel.

vibed with that so much. unmatchable energy. 😵

I didn't know LiSA before so thank you for bringing her to my attention! I subscribed to your channel just two days ago but it's totally worth it!
