- Greatness is often in the subtleties. This is certainly true for Aimer. I can't believe the control and nuances she adds making her voice one of the most interesting voices I've heard in awhile!

I really loved the original video. Watch again without interruptions:
• Aimer - 残響散歌 / THE FIR... 
Видеоклипы
I'm sure Aimer said in an interview that when he was about 15 years old, she practiced singing too much and got vocal cord nodules, and she didn't treat it completely, and became this characteristic voice😂❤She said that she had a hard time until she mastered it well using a voice different from her previous voice.😅
She didn't want the surgery cause she was afraid that she won't sing anymore and she used silent treatment as a solution and didn't use her voice cords for the whole 6 months completely. Later she developed her own way of singing to not overwhelm her cords and that's how her singing style was created. Now after almost 2 decades since that situation she's still singing and has a huge audience. I attended her live concert in Osaka this last year and she's even more unreal live. For the long time similarly to Ado she didn't want to show her face cause she wanted to be recognised by her music not the looks. She's one of those people who just simply love music with her whole heart! My favourite part of her career is album "daydream". She collaborated a lot with Taka from One Ok rock at that time.
that's how the legend born
Great video. Aimer is an artist that got damage in her voice after an accident with her vocal chords, which made her high-pitched voice from then become the deep voice that characterizes her today. This happened to her when she was 15 years old. To even be able to sing again, she had to do absolute silence therapy for 6 months. Finally she would debut as an artist at the age of 21. I think it's incredible that after damaging her vocal cords she didn't give up on fulfilling her dreams. It is an inspiring story.
japanese music is so fruitful compared to our pop music nowadays love it thanks for the insights!
Agreed
Eme (Aimer )also very popular✨I think Lisa's Gurenge first take, super beaver and Haruko Nagaya's Tokyo first take are also worth recommending✨& I recommend Ado's cover of "aishite aishite" because it's the craziest and scariest ever.😂
Really agree on Ado's "Aishite Aishite Aishite"; I think it might be her best one yet
Aimer is a great singer. You should also check out LiSA in the First Take channel on "Gurenge" and "Homura". Both songs also from the Demon Slayer anime like this song by Aimer. LiSA and Aimer are both awesome singers.
You need to react to the collab Omokage, by Aimer, Milet and Lilas Ikuta (from Yoasobi). These three at that time are like the biggest pop female vocalist in japan. The song is also composed by Vaundy another hitmaker there (like literally one of the biggest soloist there), the collab is a special made by Sony and The First Take I think. Their voice are so different to each other, the way they make the song happen is truly a once in a lifetime experiences. It would be fun to see what you think about it
My favorite song ❤
Chris實在太厲害了,看過許多講評,只有Chris有注意到Aimer的聲音是走在節奏前緣
OMG your finally reacting to Aimer! Awesome
All hail the Queen!
Oh man thank you for reacting to my Queen! The pronunciation is the French one as her nickname is from French! You should definetely react to her song "US" live at budokan which was written for her by TK (the guy who created "Unravel")
I would also appreciate a vocal commentary on the AiNA THE END ”Red:birthmark”.
She is another Japanese singer who sings anime songs and has quite a unique voice. "Red:birthmark" is the ending theme song for "Gundam: Witch from Mercury".
Aimer is great. Beautiful voice. Loved the analysis.
Aimer (エメ [Eme] pronounced eh-meh) is up there as one of my favorite artists. Due to her unique vocals from an early age vocal cord injury, the natural raspy and husky nature of her voice is so unlike anything that you often hear in jpop, particularly from female jpop artists.
I absolutely love this new segment to your usual vocal analyses and diving into the amazing world of Japanese music. The First Take truly does wonders for allowing these artists’ true vocals to shine!
My all time favorite First Take’s would have to be Homura (炎) by LiSA, Gunjou (群青) by YOASOBI, and (as of today bc I just watched it and it was breathtaking) Where Our Blue Is (青のすみか) by Tatsuya Kitani.
The sheer emotional output by LiSA and Tatsuya Kitani in their respective performances is nothing short of breathtaking. Despite both of them starting to get emotional during their performances, they power through and deliver such powerful vocals. I’d LOVE to see your reaction to either one of them, if not both.
YOOO thanks for the great technical breakdown for this! Loving to learn more about my favourite artists!
i always enjoy how you take time to appreciate and break down each singer's peculiar singing techniques!
i feel like you might find queen bee interesting, their vocalist Avu is an amazing performer and you can always expect them to surprise you with the melodies or voice tone, amongst many other things.
my personal favorite is this song, it's one of their slower ones: ruclips.net/video/js5Kl9FGCn8/видео.html (there's eng subtitles available if anyone wanted to know what the song is about), while others might recommend their other first takes such as Fire or Mephisto (which are just as great)
yes please
Just answering your question at the beginning, Aimer is from a French verb meaning "to love" and her name is pronounced the same way in Japan, "エメ (EME)".
I love hearing all of your comments on different vocalists and the descriptions on what exactly they are doing with their voices!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the artist Yuuri! He has a lovely voice with great control! He has a few songs on THE FIRST TAKE, all of them are amazing but I def recommend taking a look at Dry Flower and Betelgeuse!
Would cool if you do LiSA Vocal analysis next, Good video btw 🔥
Go for Lisa gurenge & homura First take next that would be fun to analyse
Aimer has the perfect voice, I love your analysis so much.
I would highly recommend checking out vocalist Ishihara on The First Take.
He is the vocal of the band Saucy Dog. He has a very clear voice and beautiful treble.
I think you'll enjoy his song "Itsuka" from The First Take
@ChrisLeipe
I have sudgested reaction if you haven't seen it already, of course.
First Take; Hiroshi Kitadani song: We are. The first One Piece opening which had premie earlier today.
Pretty cool video! Nice to see a breakdown of a song i listen to all the time! I was wondering if you have ever heard of naoki? He has a really powerful rock voice and has done vocals for a lot of guilty gear songs. Some good ones are storyteller and the name of heaven
Since you're listening to the Japanese songs, I really recommend you listen to; LISA, YOASOBI, Kenshi Yonezu and Eve. LISA - Homura. YOASOBI - Kaibutsu. Kenshi Yonezu - Kick Back. Eve - Dramaturgy (or literally anything else (Eve is good))
Very awesome that u reviewed her song.. Hopefully U can also review Re:project - once again... A collab song of top japanese singers, incl. Aimer
You have to do a reaction to crying for rain by minami it will make you stunned the bset voclas you will ever heard
Chris, I'm surprised you don't have Sohyang on your channel. If you're unaware of her, she's perhaps one of the best female Korean solo artists currently. I think there would be quite a lot for you to unpack from both a vocal analysis and musical arrangement viewpoint. I'd recommend her covers of Bridge Over Troubled Water, Arirang Alone (a Korean folk song), and Lean on Me. I think you would an entertaining time if you haven't come across her yet.
Her cover of Everyone should also be on your list. But yes, he absolutely should check her out.
I love aimer, i recommend you to listen her song "I beg you" it's very nice song.
Since you are enjoying Aimer and Ado, I highly recommend checking out some of Ryokuoushoku's music, especially "Be a Flower".
Your vocal analysis is always so insightful.
She was huge with theme song of anime show but I got blown away when I heard her cover of Poker Face (Lady Gaga).
Please react to the first take of Mephisto by Queen Bee, she goes absolutely crazy playing around with her voice, and her range is incredible!
LiSA up next!! The QUEEN of Jpop and of The F1rst Take!
I would highly recommend checking out vocalist Kuroneko. She's the female lead singer of the band Onmyouza (sometimes romanized as Onmyo-za). The song they're most well know for is "Kouga Ninpocho" which served as the theme music for the anime Basilisk a number of years ago, and was on their 2006 album Garyou Tensei. They did a live performance a few years ago for a King Records showcase of many of their artists who recorded anime theme songs, and you'll get a good idea of just how talented a vocalist she is, and the level of control she has over her instrument. Plus they're my favorite band, so I could be a little biased 😉
OMG you should watch MISIA's Higher Love!! Easily the best performance and talent I've watched on The First Take
Loved the video! If you're ever looking for another fun voice to dissect, I highly recommend Suisei's Stellar Stellar on the first take
エメは10代の頃喉を潰して半年間声が出せなかったので、この様な歌い方にしたそうです。
Its "ayy-mer". Very enjoyable breakdown!
Great video as usual! I’m going to throw my hat into the ring of recommendations with another The First Take video. Give Suisei Hoshimachi (星街すいせい) - Stellar Stellar, a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised :)
Please react to "晩餐歌" (Bansan Uta/Dinner Song) by Tuki.
Lots of Japanese singers are singing covers of this song these days so its decently popular in the JPOP industry.
Not to mention the singer's beautiful voice despite being 15 years old.
I just realized how funny a best of of Chris Sounds would be, like out of content.
Hi ! I have watched all of your ADO's serie video and do REALLY LOVE YOUR COMMENTS !! They are very very descriptive,deep and helpful with progress and interesting to listen to ! I would like to recommend the music called " Hakujitsu " from King gnu ! It's a famous band from japan ! The music has 2 main singers that really carry all the parts of the song ! hope to see it here one day !!
Aimer has so, so many amazing songs that showcase how unique her voice is. I like to compare her to Ado because while Ado is often all out and almost 'savage' in how utterly creative she is with her voice, Aimer is very controlled and feels almost restrained. They're both incredibly expressive artists in their own ways and my favorite artists at the moment.
You should give "I beg you" a listen. I'm not sure how interesting it is from a vocal perspective alone but the melody and how it weaves an emotion into the listener when coupled with her vocal style is really interesting.
Would love to see what you think of Yama!
Specifically her performance of am321 in this video: ruclips.net/video/lij8RpaZKZ4/видео.html
I looooove Aimer's voice. All of her songs are amazing. She's remained consistent as an artist, which is something I look for. My favourite songs of hers are Brave Shine and Last Stardust, would highly recommend checking those two songs out 💯.
My journey with her started with those songs. Right now I have many more which Love more like insane dream, Haru wa Yuku, chouchou musubi, falling alone, torches, ever after or the one with Vaundy called Chikyugi.
About last stardust check her performance from live concert at Saitama arena from 2021. She singed it acoustic as an encore. Best performance of this song I've ever heard
@@RoadVlog I love all those too! There's not a single song of hers that I can say that I dislike which is rare. I'll check out her performance at Saitama arena, thanks!
@@cmartin1409 yeah. I agree about that songs. There are only ones I love and ones I just like 😂 not surprised I was in top 0,05% of her listeners ok Spotify in 2023 😂 I'm literally obsessed with her music!
wooooah im early lets go!!!
Aimer is indeed amazing, gotta love her range.
Would love if you also checked out Uru on The First Take, she is my absolute favorite singer at the moment and i think she is very underrated. She has a more calmer, soft, soothing voice. Here's the songs she has on The First Take:
Uru - Furiko - ruclips.net/video/ue4irL_g-UE/видео.html
Uru - Soreo Aito Yobunara - ruclips.net/video/zVOqiEQJj0w/видео.html
Uru feat Lisa - Saikai (absolutely amazing harmony between the two) - ruclips.net/video/impSuIygMiQ/видео.html
Finally Aimer!
Listen to this too ⇒ milet×Aimer×幾田りら - おもかげ (produced by Vaundy) / THE FIRST TAKE😗
You need to be focusing on LiSA (risa oribe) her first takes are the most legendary nd epic of all first takes
Hey! You should do a video on Eric Martin’s voice… singer of the band Mr. Big. They have some really awesome live vids from the 90s. Would love to hear your take on his voice and how to get his sound!🤘🏻
Aimer, TK (more so LTS but also solo TK), Minami and Ado are my favourites! Also I believe her name is pronounced as you would in french for "aimer" as in "to love".
Yess Aimer is my fav Japanese female singer, love her unique voice. Please react to her song 'Brave Shine'
And for Japanese male singer/band, please react to :
- Yuuri ( 'Betelgeuse' )
- Official Hige Dandism ( 'I Love' , 'White Noise')
Thanks!
I would recommend escalate by aimer it’s another one of her amazing songs
So interesting! Have you considered reacting to Queen Bee as well? They have performances on The First Take as well that i think you'll find very interesting.
Do the Queen Bee The First Takes!
She has the PERFECT VOICE for Jazz Music. She sounds like Ella Fitzgerald or Nina Simone.
Have you reacted to Yuuri - Betelguise from the first take video? To me he is another top notch male japanese vocalist i would say as close as Taka! Check him out please, coz his vocal gets very technical!
Please do LiSA’s First Take of Homura!! I suggest turning on the CC during the performance and also watch til the end :)
more aimer
if you have the chance have a look at Hiroshi Kitadani, as he did a First Take for 'We Are'.
chris it would be soo cool if you could analyse Queen Bee's song called Mephisto, there's a ''the first take'' version of it as well and it's incredible
Never thought I’d run into Kimetsu No Yaiba here somehow 😂🤘
I love you delving into Japanese music sir ❤
Betelgeuse by yuuri the first take version is amazing
Hey Chris, thanks for covering her, very nice insights to her singing style. She has such a unique husky voice for a female vocalist thats just so nice and juicy.
Also Aimer is pronounced as [eme] with the E sounding like in "Eh". You can refer to this video for the pronunciation ruclips.net/video/_Jp-36qkCR8/видео.html
Amazing reaction.
Pls react to King Gnu - Hakujitsu
I really think you will like the song😊
Would be interesting if review the song from yoasobi😂
彼女は喉の病気で
この歌いかたにしています。
以前、コンサートで声が
出なくなった事もありました。
enjoy watching your reactions!
Listen to "MISIA", a female singer with excellent vocal technique.
- MISIA - 明日へ / THE FIRST TAKE ( ruclips.net/video/jqd0wnW_HCI/видео.html )
Aimer means to like/ to love in French
You should watch T-Pains new live show or more specifically T-Pain doing war pigs such a good fkn cover
Lisa - homura first take will blow you out your socks
you should listen to kokoronashi by majiko
RUclips recommended a song cover that a buddy of mine sent me a while back, not asking for a video on it or anything, but a great one to check out if for nothing else but to do yourself a favor; hearing the second vocalist come in at the 0:48 mark. Both vocalist are great, but the second guy coming in..... You can only hear it for the first time, once.
Tom's Diner (Cover) - AnnenMayKantereit x Giant Rooks
｢DEEP DOWN｣
search👍
I think aimer is french for to love or something like that
Please react to WINTER WITHOUT YOU by XG first take
Great video. I enjoy how you analyze the songs. You should check other artists like, Yoasobi, milet, Yuuri. Also there are talented Vtubers like Tokoyami Towa and Hoshimachi Suisei. Hope you will be able to check them out.
Please react to Samurai heart the first take
I totally agree, I love variety in music and singing. And that's one of reasons I'm so addicted to Jinwook's voice. I never get bored of it, because it's like listening at least a dozen of different singers. Especially noticeable in his k-pop covers, where he's covering the whole band, for example aespa "Spicy": ruclips.net/video/bb4LA_jyKV0/видео.html
Thanks for another really interesting analysis and a new artist! :)
REACT IS GABRIEL HENRIQUE - AND I AM TELLING YOU I-M NOT GOING COVER JENIFFER HUDSON
Please, can you breakdown "Hollowness" by minami I assure you you won't find anything like it and worth your time
Please react to “Sleep Walking Orchestra” by BUMP OF CHICKEN
First takeなら個人的には下記の２曲がお勧め！

That was really awesome! The name is pronounced (according to Wikipedia) Eme (エメ, similar to the French word). Also would be great if you could react to this song: ruclips.net/video/btbQRq-YStA/видео.htmlfeature=shared
REACT IS LUCAS INUTILISMO BRASIL - 2022 EM UMA MÚSICA 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Really wish you can start on reaction to eve's songs, I don't think he has a first take video but I recommend listening to "how to eat life"
these first take videos, feel like music in general stripped to its very core, being focused on the vocals with a minimum of acoustic instrumentals to keep the feeling of the original song going.
rather then it being a grand spectacle/lightshow.
demon slayer..
You people here who have the power to make Chris check out japanese singers dont you guys know singers like Kyo (DIR EN GREY), Gackt (Malice Mizer) or even Hyde (L'Arc-en-Ciel)?
not the best song for first acquaintance, does not reveal her voice 😢
what would you suggest as a better revelation of her full abilities?
@@chrisliepe I think this video better reveals her vocal abilities, the song is called “Us” live ruclips.net/video/nzEkPyKVfGg/видео.htmlsi=jPQNSE9MPSanSHSi
@@user-gs5tt4mi9syeah. She even told once that TK pushed her to her absolute limits with this song and it's hard asf for her to perform it live. Even though she nailed it like she always do!
Aimer is kinda pronouced like Eye-myrr
No it isn't, it's from the French verb for "to love", which is pronounced like eme (エメ in katakana).
