Toe is pretty incredible, although I think my favorite song of theirs is a from the Sonny Boy anime OST; "Sonny Boy Rhapsody". Part of my love for that song is due to how brilliantly the show uses it, but I think there's no denying that the song itself is excellent. A little bit more simple than Goodbye, but ridiculously catchy and beautiful. My only problem with that song is it's not on Spotify, lol.
Toe is mainly an only instrumental band, which occasionally invites a vocalist for a song or two. But where there isn't any singer, their main lead or "vocalist" for a lack of better term is the drummer. Normally in an instrumental band, the lead is a melodic instrument such as a piano or guitar. Not with Toe, you can see even in this song the drummer is the one who filled up the empty space, where the guitar mainly becomes a supporter. In some other songs, the bass also steps up too, and they do call and respond but with bass and drum pretty cool stuff
It's fun to see Toe falling into the mainstream, been one of my favorite bands for years, I'm glad that they're having more (well deserved, I'd add) notoriety. I appreciate this
i wish they were more mainstream 😅 i found them in 2006 with their "new instrumentality album" because i was big into Shugo Tokumaru and they were lumped together on iTunes. i was in a math rock band a decade ago (in seattle as well!) and it was just a small community there as far as we knew. friend still plays the same kinda music, though i've went in a different direction; but the only time i hear about toe these days is when looking at sonny boy stuff.
Yesssss. Be sure to check out their “the Book About my idle plot on a vague anxiety” album if you want some of their harder stuff. Drummer goes hard like always, but the other members join in on it too. Great stuff. They’re the perfect blend of energy, vibe, groove, emotion, chill, and meditative layering that’s just so fun to listen to in pretty much any mood. Nostalgic, sad, playful, hopeful, so many feelings one can take from any of their songs. Some are harder, some are more chill electronic-y, some are nice n acoustic. But they all have the heart that is Toe. Sick band, really glad you checked ‘em out.
I'm so happy you're reacting to Toe. One of my favorite bands. I saw them live 4 times, their live shows just hits different. I was literally tearing up during their shows.
Duuude I can't believe you're reacting to this! Found this band in highschool when the sound manager at a venue my band was playing at was playing them over the speakers. They've became one of my favorite bands since then. This was the song that got me into them
I want to add that this performance is 1 hour and 40 minutes into a 2+ hour show :) (the whole thing released on DVD, called "Cut DVD" highly recommend it all).
Sonny Boy Rhapsody is a recent song by them that featured not so long ago, also their first song featured in anime. It's also very unique and has great vibes to it.
ohh shit im a massive fan of toe, wasn't expecting a reaction on them but awesome to see. some other great songs by them are 'sonny boy rhapsody' (which is actually what i discovered them from, one of my favourite insert songs of all time), long tomorrow and two moons. they give the drummer so much freedom to just go off its amazing.
I never expected you to react to this. The drummer goes off!!!! If you want another video with great live drumming migh I suggest you a cover of the song from Persona 5 "Price" by J Music Ensemble?
you should check out another live version of this song, TOE LIVE AT THE REGENT: Goodbye. I'd give ANYTHING to be able to go back in time to be there live. quick edit: In the live version i suggested, the drummer is on another level in that show.
Instrumental done right. They actually tell a story and it's the minor variations in the repetative bars that make it so engaging. Every instrument gets a chance to stray from the core which keeps me coming back.
Because the drums feel like there at the "bottom" (or perhaps the core) of music, I think chaotic drums underneath ostinatos and chill stuff captures the feeling of a complex roller coaster of thoughts or feelings that are internal and not shown on the surface.
I've been listening to music my whole life and know many great drummers. But there was never any song or drummer. That inspired me to learn to play the drums like he did.
i hope you go far enough into this rabbit hole to eventually try Uchuu Conbini or the cabs (or österreich since im mentioning the cabs, especially the less known songs like Swandivemori and ill take you everywhere)
Patrons are suggesting good stuff, love to see it! Why the acoustic guitar has the hole blocked? And would it make sense doing that if it wasn't plugged in?
I have a recommendation sir, There is a video game called "Omori" known for its great sound tracks, And one of the most memorable tracks in the game "final duet " i would love to see you react to
I think you should check out delete insert they’re a small time band that don’t make any music anymore but they have one of the most talented drummers I’ve ever heard. If you’d like to check them out some of their best songs are chess and also this too shall pass
yo Tony, whenever you do another big anime reaction you should definitely check out Vegeta's Super Saiyan theme by Bruce Faulconer. It fucking slaps (I'd recommend a more extended version since some versions are only a minute). I recommend Friedrich habetler's cover of it since it's just as sick as the original in my opinion
I assume you have no experience in performing music. The term "Music Director", aka "MD" is a completely normal position globally. I have worked with other music directors from all over the world that have the same title with similar roles. It's not an "American thing". Let me elaborate for you. Think of the conductor of a band or orchestra or more specifically the MD in a pit setting for a musical. Think of anyone that is in charge of leading a music ensemble or show design and handling multiple musicians. That is the MD position. Speaking of that position, that is what I do as a career. Heavy in MD as well as music education teaching beginning musicians. Maybe research before automatically assuming negative intent?

I want to know your analysis of "tricot band"
ruclips.net/video/-rZWdolJfgk/видео.html
Please react to Casiopea - Again Live 1982 - Midnight Rendezvous. I promise you, you will enjoy it very much.
The best way I ever saw Toe described, "They're one of the rare bands, where the Drums are the main instrument."
In my opinion it’s less about the drums being the main instrument and more about the tension between the shy melody/harmony and the intense drums
Math-Rock, Post-Rock. Yeah... For Toe, their technical Drumming is awesome.
Toe is pretty incredible, although I think my favorite song of theirs is a from the Sonny Boy anime OST; "Sonny Boy Rhapsody".

Yeah masterpiece
long tomorrow and our latest number are great too
for real shoutout sonny boy that anime is simply something else and the music does so much
I didn't even know that was Toe
Honestly is really hard chossing one best song from toe
Whoever recommended this has goated music taste. Need more math rock reactions 👀
Ifkr
YO WHAT! I was not expecting you to listen to one my favorite song of all time. Toe is seriously one incredible group of players.

this band is like heavensent as a beginner bassist
@Denzel which song you decided to learn?
@@denzelherrman for an intermediate bassist id suggest looking at tricots red album and "THE" album
@@MozeXI already listened but thanks

Toki Asako usually does lots of funk stuff, so I was surprised to hear such gentle instrumentation in this song
I want to add that this performance is 1 hour and 40 minutes into a 2+ hour show :) (the whole thing released on DVD, called "Cut DVD" highly recommend it all).
This song means a lot to me, everything goes together so well.
Thank you for reacting to this song. I hope you love this band.
This performance by Toe is one of the most passionate / well performed I have ever seen. I enjoyed your break down of it!
thank you joe, for asking him to react to this! i love asako-san's voice
Toe is Post Math Rock Band. Of Course the drums are gotta be badass 😅
Sonny Boy Rhapsody is a recent song by them that featured not so long ago, also their first song featured in anime. It's also very unique and has great vibes to it.

Toe is an amazing math/post rock band, they have influenced a lot of Math rock bands
There is a reason why they are called the grandfathers of math rock
太棒了！这是我最喜欢的数学摇滚！终于有专业音乐人分析了。
I never expected you to react to this. The drummer goes off!!!! If you want another video with great live drumming migh I suggest you a cover of the song from Persona 5 "Price" by J Music Ensemble?
I could NEVER imagine you reacting to Toe, but i have to say it makes me full of joy
Damn those dudes became the vibe lol
you should check out another live version of this song, TOE LIVE AT THE REGENT: Goodbye. I'd give ANYTHING to be able to go back in time to be there live.

Instrumental done right. They actually tell a story and it's the minor variations in the repetative bars that make it so engaging. Every instrument gets a chance to stray from the core which keeps me coming back.
TOE!! YESS! I love this band sm. Amazing creators of math rock

Dope reaction, learned new stuff about this song from your explanations. Good luck in the Superbowl man
Merry Christmas and Padoru Padoru
Omg thank you so much whoever requested this it was my absolute jam
I like it with this vocalist, just saw a different version on their channel with a male vocalist but this love version sounds so goooooood
You should watch Goodby by Toe live at the Regent. An absolutely incredible performance.

Have you reacted to Stone Ocean op 2 yet? If not any plans too?
Patrons are suggesting good stuff, love to see it!
Why the acoustic guitar has the hole blocked? And would it make sense doing that if it wasn't plugged in?

Kashikura Takashi on drum , he is famous in Japan drummer
Ohh BTW did you check out Ado´s Tot Musica ? Hiroyuki Sawano teams up with Ado . What else can it be than an absolut Masterpiece.
You have to react to the live version of Long Tomorrow by Toe its absolutely Amazing, it has to be one of my favorite song of all Time

I think you should check out delete insert they’re a small time band that don’t make any music anymore but they have one of the most talented drummers I’ve ever heard. If you’d like to check them out some of their best songs are chess and also this too shall pass
It is know exaggeration to say that Toe goes ballistic on this song.
It looks like Toki thinks it is hysterical.
You reacted to this 5 months ago?????? How did I just find out?
I can tell you toe help me from though times
you should react to 'Gurenge' by Lisa. It is the op 1 of Demon Slayer
Could you react to ado one piece film red songs?? All of them are good, especially tot musical, fleeting lullaby and backlight.
SONNY BOY RHAPSODY please
If you’re still interesting in reacting to JoJo themes I definitely recommend Anasui’s theme.

Well you definitely need to listen to TOE or just watch the entire SONNY BOY anime
Please listen to anime seven deadly sins all openings thanks man 👍
The original vocalist for this song is better IMO but I still love Toki Asako's works
Funfact グッドバイ translates to Geddobai or goodbye. Its not actually a Japanese word.

music director must be an american thing. Talent is talent and no one needs a music director
