"is it weird that Ayame's voice makes me smile"
whole fandom : I feel you on personal level
she is now addicted to Nakirium
@@Kimcirac wait till she listens her natural giggles
She can make anyone smile
thats ojou for you
was ayame's version cut out from this video???
Also, Suisei has a wild story. Suisei was apparently TOO talented and was rejected by many idol agencies (She can sing, dance/choreography, 3d model, create videos, pro level Tetris 99 player (she lasted almost 20 mins in a game against the #2 player in the world online), etc) so she made herself an idol (including her original model which has now been updated)! She was independent for about a year or so before joining Hololive. Suisei, Sora, and Miko (who you didn't see here) were all independent before Hololive and the only ones who OWN their character (Cover/Hololive technically own the rights to all other girls' characters) and are seen as "Gen 0" along with Roboco who was the first "idol"/talent that Hololive themselves debuted since none of them debuted as part of a Generation of Hololive technically speaking, although Sora is basically the original and "first" Hololive member I believe. Sora and Suisei are basically certifiable stars/idols and everyone in the agency basically bows down and admires Sora as she is everyone's Senpai. Also, Sora WAS classically trained and trained in opera for a while. There is a lot more about each of these talents but this is to just give you a jist of the Suisei and Sora situation.
Sora and Miko were both part of Cover (Sora being the founding member of Holopro), so Suisei is really the only independent vtuber to join and keep her character. I mean that as in she fully designed everything on her own
Miko doesn't own her avatar, she was originally an independent blonde vtuber on Nico together with Pekora, hence she love blondies like Hachama and Ame.
It's absolutely wild to me that someone can be rejected for being 'too' talented/multi-talented. Talk about carving your own path where there is none.
I'm also incredibly happy Sora does actually have classical in her and I wasn't hallucinating haha that is awesome.
@@Adiarby13 ah okay, that is what it was. Must have misremembered
@@ravenclawreacts yeah, it's a cultural/idol thing because they can't stand out TOO much in the group. They need to "fit" but you get a few like Suisei who don't fit that mold and fall through the cracks. I have a feeling some others in Hololive are like that in one way or another but she is just well known for this and in a unique position since she is not hiding a previous identity (like almost all the other members) since Suisei is largely her identity since before hololive, just not her real name haha
"She just straight up murders me and just sends me to the holy gates with that ending"
She has somehow described the general fan perception of Suisei perfectly, without ever seeing anything else from her aside from this cover song.
She has no clue just how correct her description is. The madlass has done it!
Sasuga moment
Welcome to the Suisei Supremacy
Suisei is truly a psycho...
She can still murder with her songs, and she's killing it...
Only one thing, she described her voice as like a sword. Suisei doesn't use a sword, she uses an *axe.*
"This version is like two bros got together....."
Funny that Calli & Gura named their unit as Bone Bros, because Calli's fans are depicted as skeletons, while Gura have fish bones as one of her design elements.
and the fact that they’re boneheads
@@cosanchez124 And also because they bone--wait no.
If you like that, you should check out Gura's original "Reflect" and Calliope Mori's raps. I recommend "RIP" and "Off With Your Head". She also has some original songs too!
@@grondorr [Q] is really nice too
@@minifeebas8911 oh yes I love that one!
The moment I saw her face when Suisei started singing I literally went “YES!! YOU GET IT, YOU *GET* IT!!!”
Meanwille : ayunda😏
@@txlegion5746would admire from afar lololol
@@JohnSmith-hm8xllet me guess, like your dad right?
"WAIT HOW CAN I FALL IN LOVE WITH EVERY ONE OF THESE GIRLS?"
Welcome to the rabbit hole. You're never getting out of here. :)
If you like Suisei here, you should listen to LITERALLY everything she does. Completely mind-blowing.
Suisei's original songs practically documented her progress as a person, and as a singer. From the starry-eyed dreamer in "Comet", through the disappointment of not progressing and yet marching on in "Celestrial Sphere", and then the whole world opened up for her in "Next Color Planet". Then she was able to explore the darker side in "Ghost", and resplendent in "Bluerose"... all wonderful works.
I found her cover of the Frozen song so fucking impressive and powerful
Very yess
I mean, she's literally can sing like this while playing tetris on a professional level.
Completely agree, Honestly anything Suisei sings seems to turn to gold.
It's kind of wonderful how accurately RC managed to read the individual Vtubers' personalities just based on their performances. Ayame and Suisei especially.
I haven’t even gotten 20 seconds into here but based on your comment alone I subbed.
even she correctly get sora is some classical type of singer.
Um what do you mean about Ayame? she wasn't even in this video
@@MistressMillie strange. Did you consume so much Nakirium that it slipped your memory?
You might wanna watch it again. Lots of us in the comments definitely saw ayame and heard her sing.
Edit: I done goofed. Cryst Marces Supplied the details and technically I was correct in the past. The video has since been edited per the request of ayame and/or her manager (since we don’t really know if it was ayame herself)
@@Filcayra72 read the description. and if you really follow Ayame you know the reason why it gone now in this video.
-"King" is so covered by the fact that has a very permissive licence (like all the other vocaloid songs).
-The sometime bleeped word is "shinderu" aka "death" in english. They were extra safe really.
-Shion has a cute voice, but is more know for being a smug brat in her streams. And yes, she is a witch as character.
-Watame is a sheep (right) and she does the "pa pa pa" part as "ba ba ba" (that a sheep verse in japanese). And yeah, she has a very unique voice. She is very active as singers, and most of her songs are usually very personal (she has a very interesting... IRL background).
-Matsuri, the one without a character, she is simply a herself, a very multi-faced girly girl and idol. And yes, she has a great singing skill. And with a prominent pervert side.
-Towa is know for her much lower tone voice. It's her natural voice. Many love her voice for being so different from the others Hololive JP girls. She is a devil as character.
-Ayunda Risu... oh, boy, I'm a fan of her, so... she is know to have a very large vocal range, and about 6 different "voices" she can use effortless. You hear a little of her "risu" (more nasal, close and squicky) voice, most of the song is in her "ayunda" voice (more deep and open). The little effect on the "king" is harmonic with herself (in a tone highter). The mixer of that king version is a youtuber himself, and has done a video step-by-step how he mixed it. And, she is a squirrel as character, but it's basically herself on stream now. She's indonesian (and part of Hololive ID).
-Ayame is the most cute in Hololive, in general. And very polite. Her cuteness is so strong that she's the source of what her fans call "Nekirium", aka cute happiness. And she is really incapable of being "bad ass". Her character is a Oni.
-Roboco, yup, she is as character a robot. She has a very sweet voice but she is know that she can really add gothic and yandere tones if she wants.
-Sora is the OG of Hololive (she was the first girl in Hololive, and Hololive is born in part thanks to her). She is the most idol and trained singer in Hololive, doing live concerts and albums. And yes, it's probabile she has a classic training too. She is very very good in vocaloid songs.
-Reine is more the excellent work of Redshift in remixing and giving a very different spin of the song. Reine sings is clean, she has a very indonesian style of singing (both are part of Hololive ID). She is a peacock queen.
-Suisei, she is simply the most talented and skilled singer in Hololive. She recorded this while she was recovering her voice. She is another without a true character, having started as an indipendent vtuber and then integrated in Hololive after a long journey. Her most know skill, aside her singing, is her "psycopath" personality and her skills in tetris. She has two albums now as a true singer, plus one collabs with a famous japanese producer first album.
-Flare is a "big sister" one. She is a dark elf. Her voice is on the low tone, and she is know for being very flirty and friendly with the other girls (so much, that is a joke that she has an harem in hololive).
-Calliope is a true rapper (literally, she was an indie rapper before Hololive), and know for being very "cool" and "daddy". And yeah, that's a southern accent (she has grow up in Texas). Gura is very cute and cheeky (and a true memer). They really had fun recording this, with Gura literally experimenting with her voice, and the usual added english rap of Calli. The most of the higher parts are by Gura, Calli has a more deep voice.
-Hololive EN is much less formal, the girls have much more freedom usually.
-Kanaria is the composer/songwriter, GUMI is a vocaloid software he/she (not sure) uses. So, yeah, it's NOT an human voice.
Lastly, some rec for Suisei: my favorite is "Tenkyuu", other originals are "Stellar Stellar" and "Ghost", for covers "Kakusei" and "Cry baby".
Just one note in Flare: She has stated a couple times by now that she's not a dark elf, but a half-elf.
Also, Pieces by suisei
(it's the end credit song used in "Story of Suisei")
@@monduvdsan Right, they changed her "character backstory" to an half-elf.
@@caretakerITA Wasn't she always a half-elf though?
As far as I know she has never liked it when people called her dark elf.
@@caretakerITA Flare is always half-elf...
fun fact: her skin color is now more darker than her first model but she always considered herself as a half-elf.
Regarding Sora and classical training, once in a piano and singing stream she was asked to perform Hololive's signature song Shiny Smily Story... She spontaneously arranged that song for piano, from memory, in a few minutes, and then performed it. If she doesn't have formal music training, I am a martian.
Is there any clips of that? I would love to see that
She plays piano, and can improvise?! There is a god.
@@ravenclawreacts Sora is called holo goddess for a reason
She's not only the first Hololive idol, Hololive was Made for Sora.
She hard carried hololive in early stages, reached 100K subs on her own at the age of 17 and when Roboko (second holo girl that joined) she was already 100K+ subs.
So she's literally everyone's Senpai but she's also one of the youngest girls, and very down to earth.
Everyone treats her like a celebrity within hololive but she just wants to be like normal holo girl and wanna be friends with everyone. She cares about everyone in hololive, one of the most wholesome members of the group.
I think there's a clip where say she's practice classic music when she's more young, just don't remember when ...
Yeah, there is a clip where she is singing "Caro Mio Ben" and she talks about how she practiced clasical music and piano from child and how her dream was be a singer, unfortanly her doctor told her that if she continued singing that (You know, like opera) shes going to lost her voice so she had to let that and then she decided to be an idol and with A-chan's help talked to Yagoo in Cover and that was how HoloLive was made.
P.D: This is just a sumary of a lot of clips and facts and my english is not that good, so there can be a few errors, sorry.
I can't believe you called out Calli's Texan accent so easily.
Honestly, your commentary is so fun to listen to; very insightful.
"She sounds so cute here, but she is an absolute monster"
That's Suisei, also known as the 'Suicopath', for you. The cute murderer with the voice of a goddess.
I'm pretty sure this is officially the most insane way I've ever encountered for someone to fall into the rabbit hole. I love this.
Also, that moment a Hoshiyomi was born.
One of us!!! One of us!!!
I found a deadbeat.
I'd say you have listened to [Q]
@@ODDnanref And Reflect honestly
I'm a universal shrimp...
I have no faction...
As long as it's Vtubers, I'm in...
you can actually see the moment and change as a hoshiyomi was born at 45:50
Risu's chorus is generally considered the favorite amongst Vtuber fans cuz it has a Paramore style punk rock flair that really makes you root for her
Also "suave" is literally the best way to describe Flare's personality
for suisei id STRONGLY recomend her cover of Saga Jihen. its just absolute perfection. that is all
100% agreed
The only time a hololive girl needed a full generation to keep up with her as backing vocals, lol.
I second that.
Y E S
@@caretakerITA right she’s just too powerful
aka Suisei flexing for ~3 minutes straight.
ima talk a bit about each girl
Murasaki Shion: her voice not as versatile as others, but she is a master of them highs, definetly one of the girls who can reach the highest notes in hololive. This is easily perceived on her duet of Ms Pumpkin alonside Okayu. Another honorable mention and personal favourite of her is the cover of the song called "hakujitsu".
Tsunomaki Watame: Yes, she is indeed a sheep. Her voice is sweet and warm, but strong at the same time, less sharp than Shion but more versatile at the same time. Her range is kinda wide actually. She has loads of original song, each one different than the previous one, her voice do have a lot of facets i recomend her cover of "hello, how are you" a truly adorable song.
Natsuiro Matsuri: she has a very strong voice and wide range, able to sing in both a low and high pitch, with a plethora of covers and a couple original songs she is quite an experienced singer. she is also an absolute master when it comes to emotional songs. her cover of "kokoronashi" and her accoustic cover of "Kataomoi" are 100% recomended and a testament of my previous statement.
Tokoyami Towa: An absolute powerhouse and one of the strongest voices in the entire hololive. No one can avoid faling for her singing. She is able to hit those powerful and strong notes effortlesly and one of the few girls that can do a proper metal growl. Definetly one of the most loved voice and girl in the west. Her cover of "Error" is her cult classic and one of both most emotive and strong performances in the whole company, Even the original artist praised her for that cover
Ayunda Risu: OH BOY, where do i start with her. Absolute queen of the 1001 voices, her voice range is wider than the ocean and she is able to hit those really high notes, she is not as good with the deeper register but still does a prety solid job with it. able to change her voice in the middle of a song just to change it again in a completely different one. Risu is one of the most proficient singers in hololive in my opinion. Her self duet cover of "snow halation" is a good example of the duality of her voice,although she is capable of much more.
Nakiri Ayame: The personification of cutenes, probably the cutest being in the world. her cute and cheerful vocals are the joy of hololive, but cutenes is not her only quality, she is quite an excellent singer by herself too. Her cover of "shoujo rei" (cannot find it on her channel, it was lost when her account on bilibili was closed, fans has uploaded it on youtube but it is an oficial one) is i would dare to say one of her best covers, if not the best. But if you want a real beast, that is her cover of "goodbye declaration"
Roboco: i will say it clearly, probably the most unique voice in hololive, her singing has this extreme breathnes and kinda lazyness that it is unmistakeable everytime it appears. But, not only that, her higher register is quite impressive aswell and she can sing outside of that breathiness too in an extremely cute manner making her voice actually much more versatile that it seem. her cover of "bocca de la verita" is an incredible assortment of her singing skill, but i would also like to give a mention to her duet cover with Rikka (another robot, a male from the male branch of hololive, called holostars) of the song "song of sketch"
Tokino Sora: First talent of hololive and one of its best singers, the versatility of her voice is astounding, her range is wide and her technique is impecable, the most solid singer in the company and by far the one with the most songs, both covers and originals. Named human vocaloid for her inhumanly high notes despite the fact that her normal register is actually kind of deep. Curious you name the opera, because she has trained in opera and is able to sing quite well in an operatic voice. For popularity, her cover of the song "alien alien" is one of her most noteworthy works and a testament of her absurdly high notes, but you can pick literally anything from her and discover how the many techniques that she used work everytime.
Pavolia Reine: Another of the indonesian girls. And man REDSHIFT is a madman. But back to Reine, i feel she still has a lot more to show as she does not has as many songs as the others, but has more than enough to show that she is the real deal. A proper singer in every aspect, her voice is pretty powerful all thorough despite the fact she sounds kind of cute and does not even use a deeper/cooler register which impresses me as is not something you see everyday. She do have a kind of wide range tho and uses a handful of techniques i am not knowledgeable enough to identify but are definetly there, probably you could do a better job than me on that. I do recomend her covers of "useewa" and her duet of "Ai dee" alongside Momosuzu Nene, two very different songs but with A LOT of details to talk about.
Hoshimachi Suisei: i mean... i do not think i need to say anything right? I would not say unarguably, but it is very hard to find someone able to refute the statement that she is the best singer in hololive. Her masterful execution alongside her astonishingly powerful voice, joined with her wild use of vocals techniques makes her an absolute unit of a singer. Throw anything at her, she will sing it effortlessly. her karaokes have the quality of a studio recorded session and her live concerts are often even better. This is also the first time i will recomend a non-music thing, i recomend watching the video named "the story of Hoshimachi Suisei" a very detailed story of her journey from being nobody to being the musical power she is now, told by herself. A living experience of how hard it is to prosper as a singer, and how little it takes for the possibility of such a talent never existing. About her music, pick ANY of her originals, and you will end up devouring her entire discography. For me personally, she is one of the best singers you can find out of the thousand of vtubers out there. And the most scaring fact of all, she never cease to grow and become even better.
Shiranui Flare: Cool, cute, strong, sweet. There are hundred of ways to name her voice, and all of them are right. Her voice reaches quite a wide spectrum of styles, she has shown a lot of power and versatility on her karaokes, but mostly stay on her comfort zone during her official covers. Although i must say, unhinged Flare on karaoke is a sight to behold. One of the big underrated figures in hololive, but with an incredibly loyal fanbase, myself included. Almost all her covers are quite a masterpiece and has high production value MVs. I definetly recomend her cover of "dakara ongaku wa yameta/ that's why i have up in music" this is the song that made me and lot of people realices how actually good she is at singing, and how you cannot judge a talent by her sub number. A powerhouse in a different sense of the rest Flare is a really good and solid singer.
Gawr Gura & Calliope Mori: we got sweet smol shark in Gura and badass rapper in Mori. I dunno if it is me, but i have the hunch that people do not take Gura seriously as a singer, and while it is true that this king is very playful, Gura do have a very delightful singing voice that truly shines the most when she sing city pop music, making her unboubtedly the best singer of that genre in hololive. While Mori is esentially a rapper, she is not to take lightly when singing either, her raps are sharp, badass, absolute killers, but her singing can actually sound incredibly sweet and cute, a reaper with many faces and a plethora of skills that shine more and more the more fun she gets while doing it. Gura has not sing too much yet although she ispicking up the pace lately, while about Mori you has quite a lot of original songs and a few covers to go for. Definetly recomending her original "end of a life" and incredible masterpiece of slow rap with a meaningful message that, in context, can maku your eyes water out.
I won´t coment about the original Kanaria as i am not knowledgeable enough for it and do not understand much about the technicalities going on there to be able to put up a good comentary.
A few words for the end: Firstly and foremost, much thanks for the absolute delight of reaction and comentary, you have no idea how many years i have been waiting for someone able to react, identify and name all the techniques and details i always pick up but i hardly ever see people noticing or talking about them. i have not enjoyed watching a music reaction like i have today in a long time, much less writting such a lenghty coment. It has been a blast really. You have most certainly a sub in me, and if you keep reacting to music like this (specially vtuber as it is what i am most into rn).
A bit of a request: they are not all the members in hololive, there are A LOT more, but i am most intrigued if you could react to the music of one of my favourite singers in hololive, Ookami Mio. Her voice is an absolute treat and has lot of details i would really love to see you breaking down like this. Would love to hear your opinion of either her original song "howling" a pretty strong one, or her cover of "sparkle" a really popular cover of the song and one of the most perfect covers i have ever heard. I am pledging my loyalty to you if you make this littlewish of mine come true, if you have time ofc.
Now ending for real: again thanks,specially if you read this far, I hope my words have made you decide to check up some of this girls, they are definetly worth it as both singers and streamers and entertainers. I do love this girl dearly and wish them success, it is a hard work for them and if i can help bringing some people to them i would be inmensely happy.
i even had to cut a part of the coment because it was too big to let me post it XD i always do the same. BTW about the original kanaria one is not that it is distorted, it is that is a synthetisation of a real voice, a vocaloid basically. Dunno if you are familiar with that term but is is another completely different hole arguably deeper than the vtuber one
Edit: okay now that i am by the very end of the video and i have heard you talking about Suisei saying she could have make it as an idol i will tell you a bit of her story. She actually wanted to be an idol irl, but was rejected by all the groups she applied for. the reason they gave her is that she was actually too good at so many things, and needed someone good at only specific things to cover for the rest of the group. She literally got rejected for being a girl that would outclass the rest. That is the reason she started as vtuber
As for gura (sadly it's only karaoke) Ride on time and Fly my to the moon are amazingly done by her
nice wall of text. read them all and you captured them all perfect.
@@SomeBuddy555 glad to know, i mean i have been watching them for 3 years now, it would be really embarrasing if i were wrong
Gura's karaoke of Toxic is legit amazing, a lot of her karaoke covers of more soft tone songs really showcase her voice and control.
Risu version sounds so wild and"evil". I love her version the most
she just released her original song last month. Alice&U you can hear more of her voice"color"there
peoples tend to over glorifying the famous branch like JP or EN while forgetting ID also full with talented girls
no one underestimates Moona
Lowkey ID Gen1 might be the best singers out of any gen. Granted there’s only 3 of them, but it says a lot about Risu and Moona (haven’t heard Iofi doing yet). It’s either then or JP gen0
@@Souls4RocaThere are out there like old me and my friends who invite me through holoEN never appreciates HoloID till late.
no one...but the fact is, a lot.
a lot of people when seeing the label"ID",they instantly/automatically ignore. unlike when seeing EN or JP label, peoples instantly wooooooo,it must be gooooood.
it's a harsh fact,that many of non ID fans don't want to admit.
Moona's recent original song is great, audible improvements compared to her vocals in the K/DA covers
16:21 "Matsuri's just a smooth criminal"
You have no idea...
"I would sell my soul to her voice"
You're not the only one.
The facial change at 49:57 is the genuine reactions of all of us who watched her KING premier on youtube. And now every time you listen to this, at the 2nd last "You are KING", you will smile knowing what's coming up next.
sent my soul straight to heaven
Since you liked Towa's voice, try listening to her cover of Error. Her voice is phenomenal in it
True. Also palette sounds wonderful with all those emotions she put in it
For Suisei there's a full video on her journey and history. It's called "The story of Hoshimachi Suisei": ruclips.net/video/LZ87zuPkqMs/видео.html
But basically, she is a multi-talented artist, and started doing vtuber to propel her singing.
I second this
Nice story
That's how i start see her with a different eyes
Didn't watch anyone but Coco and Botan from Hololive till I watched this on a fluke. Fell hard for Sui and got introduced to the music side of Hololive. Now I listen to all of them.. No escaping the rabbit hole. 🤣
Wasn't singing secondary objective?
Ah yes. The original is sang by Gumi. Just like other vocaloids, Gumi is a voicebank that you can edit and change around to make a unique voice. So technically she isn’t human. But her VC is an actual human. Kanaria is the creator of the song and uses Gumi’s voice.
Suisei does indeed finish her recordings extremely fast thanks to her amazing talent, based on infos from her vtuber friend Miko, and Taku Inoue, the producer of some of her songs.
I'm honestly shocked by how much you understood about all these vtubers from a single cover song.
Okay is Suisei not overly OP? Damn.
I've been surprised by the comments saying how accurate the tea leaves readings were lol, but credit to the girls for putting so much of their personalities into the covers. Made a lot of difference.
Pretty sure the original King by Kanaria is a vocaloid song with Gumi's voice.
My personal favorite vocaloid artist is KIRA, especially the songs he sings in.
Using the english voicebank as well, that's why the japanese parts sound so stunted.
@@lootyy
Indeed!
And Kanaria is only 19 years old as far as I know, so either 17 or 18 when KING was released (don't know Kanaria's birthday)
Vocaloids are new to me. Fascinating concept.
@@ravenclawreacts
Indeed. Some ppl can make really cool stuff.
You mentioned during Sora's King that she sounds like she's going to break into an opera. Fun fact, Sora actually sings opera, so you got that spot on.
It is honestly very impressive that you’ve managed to nearly perfectly describe the different Hololive Personalities based solely on a single song they all covered, pretty much the whole fandom will agree with your point of view of them. All of the talents that actively sing always love to put their own twist on covers, if I remember correctly off the top of my head, each of the Hololive singers you’ve seen on here have made their Own Original songs. Hint Hint.
>Voices I would crack a beer with
>Calliope Mori
Yes, that very much aligns with why we collectively call her 'dad'.
It makes me happy but at the same time scared at how accurate your description of Suisei was. Btw She really made us wait for her version of this song. She is so good at singing. It got to the point that she was of the few that hadn't done this song yet so people we anticipating it heavy and she delivered.
I also love how she put shion in the highschool category.
And not many voices scare me (in a good way), but.. yep. Suisei.
Risu’s cover is one of my favorites and it’s for the chorus. This song is meant to be aggressive and I feel she really brought it in the chorus the most. I love how aggressive her voice sounds when she goes high.
Very glad that you liked Suisei's voice! She's a very talent person who complements it with just as much hard work.
As a long time viewer of Suisei, I want to share some info about her to a new fan. She is indeed talented enough to be a "normal" pop star or idol, in fact, ever since she was young she dreamed to be an idol. She practiced and practiced, dancing and singing to the tunes of her favourite idols. When she was old enough to be an idol, she auditioned but was rejected multiple times. It was allegedly because she was "too talented" that she was rejected. It sounds absurd but Japanese idol agencies really have very strict criteria for their talents.
Suisei first debuted as an independent Vtuber in 2018, she continued to work independently for another year, amassing a comparatively small subscriber count of 10k. Some time around 2019, Suisei would submit her first application for Hololive which was sadly rejected. After a few more tries, Suisei was given a chance to perform with fellow member AZKi of INNK MUSIC (inonaka music), a music label under Hololive. After their performance, Suisei then announced that she would be officially joining INNK MUSIC. This gave her channel a massive growth in subscribers, tripling from 10k to 30k in just 2 months. After a few trips and bumps, it was decided on December 2019 that Suisei would officially be transferring from INNK to Hololive's main branch as one of their live streamers.
Her channel saw a massive boom in 2020 together with other Hololive members as Vtubers were starting to get more attention, she ended with 600k subscribers that year. Fast forward more to September 2021, she released her first solo album, hosting a countdown stream for her viewers to watch. This Album was a huge success topping several charts including Oricon's daily album rankings. The album, "Still Still Stellar", would then become the best performing solo album from a Vtuber.
I wanted to say more but this is the most I could do for now. I'm just glad I saw someone be mindblown by Suisei's talent so I was a little excited.
Hearing her voice in this cover alone made me curious about Suisei; reading through these comments and hearing about how insanely talented and how hard she worked is definitely fueling the fire. It's inspiring to know there's been so much struggle and overcoming it behind the brilliant voice. Thank you for letting me in on the legend! I'm very keen to listen to more of Suisei's music, especially her originals. I'm sure her life experience bleeds into those a lot more than covers, so would be great to get that perspective too.
Thanks for the Suisei documentary...
Suisei just build different, she's out of this world 🔥
A shooting star, if you would.
"Suisei is like slicing air with a samurai sword." Close, but her weapon is an axe.
If you liked Suisei and Towa's voices, you should watch their collab together. Their duet was divine.
I'm guessing you don't know about Vocaloids, like Hatsune Miku? Because yeah, the original from Kanaria uses the Vocaloid named Gumi -- so indeed, it's not human, but a Vocaloid, which is indeed music software, as you suspected. It's a software that allows for programming vocal songs using prerecorded syllables, and is how a lot of independent music producers in Japan (and worldwide, at this point) have gotten their start.
You would be correct! Although having read this and other comments, I've embarked on a crash course. The concept itself is pretty awesome, but also how crazy popular Vocaloid songs are on the jpop scene is fascinating.
@@ravenclawreacts Yeah, Vocaloids are one of those phenomena that could really only have come from Japan, but man, the perfect storm of the software + the characters associated with it, and all the opportunities that have been created by that whole endeavor, is just incredible. Enjoy your crash course, because you're sure to find a lot of amazing things in the process!
@@Wyrdwad Vocaloid influences so much that it's probably one of the biggest influence in anime-jpop recently. Music wise, it helps a lot of producers to go professional with their unique styles (Yoasobi, Yorushika, Kanaria, ryo, to name a few). Vocaloid also is probably the first that popularize virtual character and virtual concert too, indirectly giving birth to vtubers.
@@ravenclawreacts Hatsune Miku had 3D concerts all over the world at 1 point. They were pre-recorded videos that a live band plays to. Not a stretch to say Miku gave rise to the idea of 3D virtual idol and eventually Vtubers.
Roboco has a stunning cover of the vocaloid song "Bocca della verita" that has a lot of that flirtiness and sexiness in her voice, along with the cuteness and some growling. You'd absolutely love it.
If you want another style of song from Sora, she sang "Caro mia bien", an opera song. She trained to sing opera, but had to give it up because she was told that it'd wear out her throat so much she'd only last 10 years. She also did a cover of "Alien Alien", where she has some insane high notes.
Suisei also has a song called "Stellar Stellar" with some fantastic vocals kinda similar to her King cover
Thanks for pointing those tracks out! Checking out extreme high note Sora and more sexy Roboco are most definitely on the to-do list.
@@ravenclawreacts If you want more sexy Roboco, listen to Suspect. It has bonus sexy Aki Rosenthal and Ayame... trying to be sexy
@@ravenclawreacts Roboco Vermont Kiss is also highly recommended! I fell in love from that song.
Im hoping for more Hololive Music Reactions , Especially Calliope Mori and Hoshimachi Suisei .
Respect to Shion in chat. Usually one of the trendsetters for covers, and outstanding vocal perfomances !
Your analysis is very on point, giving more info to the things I love.
Your smile is dashing.
Also your speechless-ness during Suisei's part is the best compliment you can give to Suisei
Also the analysis you have given without prior information is very scarily accurate, *Thumbs up*
No wonder it's an hour, detailed. You figured exactly how the duet went down in the process. And truly, Suisei's voice is orgasmic.
52:30 It’s hilarious you say that it seems like she just sang the song so easily on the first try because one of her original songs where so collaborated with a famous producer, the producer was so surprised by her amazing voice on their first recording that that version was what he used for the official song. She literally nailed her singing on the first try of a recording, lmao
mixed the Risu king cover here! just found this video, risu is wonderful!!! thank you for checking out her king cover in this mix :D Loved seeing your reaction
if you want a mixer's insight, realistically speaking at the time, Risu's highs needed a bit more work, hence your mentioning of her "closed off" sounding voice in the chorus. aside from the fake harmonies we had to make at the time, the biggest challenge was getting her to reach up there haha
She's definitely got a beautiful lower voice! Much better now than she used to be, but yeah!
Wow this vid is too old.. I’m embarrassed I knew so little about hololive (and Risu! who I AGREE is stellar). Thank you so much for dropping by - appreciate the insight and it makes total sense.
Also thank you for lending your awesome talent to the musical side of things of hololive! Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll be keen to look out for your work.
Every time Suisei drops another banger I love coming back to this and seeing someone react to Suisei for the first time because I assume after every new songs it’s happening thousands of times.
RUclips's Hololive algorithm brought me here, but I think I'll be watching more of your vids.
I loved your tier list at the end. Your analysis matched a lot of their backgrounds like ayunda risu's high pitched 'risu' voice and sometimes low 'ayunda' voice used in her streams. You seem like you could be a vocal detective. Amelia Watson from hololive english is hiring.
Also, please continue as one of us.. down this hololive rabbit hole
Suisei seriously hits different. This is the best musical analysis/reaction to Hololive music I've seen. You're incredibly insightful as well and were pretty much spot on about everything.
Would love if you reacted to more Suisei stuff. Particularly her Karaoke covers. Professionally mixed songs are one thing, but I get the feeling you'd love hearing just raw vocals. Some of my favorites of hers are Tsumi To Batsu, Namae no Nai Kaibutsu, Rain Stops Goodbye, Unlasting, Again...and the list just keeps going lol.
Another excellent song covered by Suisei during karaoke is Unravel.
All of her Karaokes are too good, I really like her A perfect sky, Sakura nagashi, and Rain stops goodby.
If you enjoyed Gura and Calli's King cover, they recently collabed on an original song that's a spiritual sequel, called 「Q」(they originally wanted to call it "Queen", but would have generated too may hits on Queen songs, so condensed it to just 「Q」).
Gura and Calli are both members of Hololive EN, Calli is from Texas and is a professional rapper when not on Hololive, whereas Gura is the #1 VTuber in the world, and is infamously cute and bratty. Calli lives in Japan and is fluent in Japanese, whereas Gura has basic proficiency in Japanese but nails all her lines. The MV was animated by a single guy, and yes, they finally get to do the fistbump at the end.
Diving deeper into the Vtuber rabbit hole, Australian Hololive EN VTuber Hakos Baelz recently released her own song/MV "Play Dice", by Japanese EDM composer Camellia, which is also worth experiencing.
I do hope you check out Suisei's "Andromeda" or "Ghost" and Moona Hoshinova's "High Tide". They're some of my favorite songs from Hololive.
There are 2 more covers of King from Hololive Productions.
The first one is by Amane Kanata who you reacted to before. However, she has privated her video because she was not satisfied with it and wants to redo it sometime in the future (although others have reuploaded it).
The second is by Kageyama Shien, the only member of their male branch to have covered it.
Great reaction. Its always nice to listen to someone with genuine Knowledge about music and singing.
I can tell when i like or dislike a song, but i couldnt tell you why.
I personally would say Suisei has a music career. There is a translated video about her journey on youtube.
She does have original songs, including one original album and there is even a top 50 songs video.
Actually Kanata did cover King a while ago but privated the video a few months ago because she was planning on covering it again
Ayame's laugh is considered a drug for us fans, she is so heckin cute, and Sora does have a lot more of a traditional training; she's also the first hololive member.
Just a quick thing to add about Sora. She did have training for opera singing, but she was told that her voice was more suited towards being an idol. So you were right on picking up on that quality to her voice and its background.
Knew there was something special about Sora. Ah, what could have been..
It's rare to get deep analysis for Hololive song reaction
I'm impressed by how far you can get only from their cover song, not only their vocal but also their music taste and personality
I found that you got interested in reine remix cover, all your point is correct. Also the one who in charge in that remix is Redshift, they got decent popularity among Vocaloid producer, they also did most of reine cover and nijisanjiID,
thanks for the good Content
Saying Suicopath's "Happy show" voice is like slashing to the air with a samurai sword never been any more truer, except maybe when it's an axe instead of a sword.
on matsuri rolling her r "that's kind of hot actually" honestly, yeah
glad i'm not the only one who sees someone do random stuff like that and goes 'that's kinda hot'
and i feel exactly the same as you on Suisei's voice by the way, it's incredible
also, the original is exactly what you thought, vocaloid is basically a software that uses a voicebank of a vocaloid to let you produce your own music with an 'instrument' for the vocals
The fact that you didn't put periods at the end of your sentences are kinda hot...
Definitely the opposite of me who always puts three dots at the end of every sentence...
Lol...
it's unbelieveble how i watched all this 1 hour video like, i cant believe it. this is a really good video, i enjoyed it
I hope you will do more Hololive related reactions. I'm still in mid way through the video, and I'm amazed how you could pin point every member's personality and styles, even pointing out Sora's opera vocals. Your vocal analysis is one of the best I've seen.
47:26
No, not a samurai sword. An axe.
Ok your Suisei reaction made me think, YOU NEED TO REACT TO HER SAGA JIHEN COVER.
Hoshimachi Suisei is dangerously good.
I've watched multiple of these covers multiple times and you taught me something new about most of them just after one listen! Very impressive, keep up the reactions :D
so.. at this stage.. i have listened/watched through your entire video about 20 times since you released it. your enthusiasm makes everything even better and is infectious! And your expert ear and clear musical know how is a very nice addition too. All the respect for this!
Yeah the Gura/Calli cover was one of the last ones released way after everyone else had, so I think they were more just having fun with it than anything since it had been done so many times as a way to make it stand out or be more original. It was a ton of fun as a result haha
That moment at 49:56 when she was pierced by Suisei's voice ... impressive.
Native Japanese speakers are often very impressed with how well Gawr Gura sings Japanese songs, especially when she isn't a Japanese speaker AT ALL. Currently, she knows some phrases and I believe she's trying to learn, but she isn't close to being conversational in the language. She's just excellent in being able to repeat verbal sounds she hears.
Gura also sang this on a karaoke stream and she did her own musical accompaniment on a ukelele, which she's very proficient with. It was sung much slower and in a soft, very pretty voice. If you haven't heard it, it can be found on a clipper channel since her karaokes aren't archived.
"She sounds so cute but she's an absolute monster" Yes, very accurate, that's the Suisei experience XD
and thus, a hoshiyomi was born
Risu one of gems in hololive ID branch, so good
Guess I found a new channel to binge while at work. Great video, I really like your positive attitude and how you deconstructed the songs in such an easy to understand way. Thank you
It was a lot of fun seeing your take on all the different covers. I would love to see you dive into the different artists of hololive even further!
I loved how you broke down the songs the way you do. You pointed out so many things I've never noticed before. I'd love to see you cover more Towa, & Suisei songs.
Fun Fact: Suisei is supposed to be a comet, which explains why her voice is out of this world!
Probably some of the comments already clarified but wanted to share that Kanaria is the producer of the song while the one singing: GUMI is actually a vocaloid which is basically a singer made in software or a singing synthesizer which is why it doesn't sound like a person at all because they aren't but there are many different vocaloids singers out there and they can sound different from each other too.
I can kinda understand why hearing vocaloid vocals can be surprising for a lot but after giving more songs a listen it really delivers a different type of listening experience and a lot of the stuff the producers make are genuinely solid but for me I would definitely prefer the covers of the hologirls.
this was such a fun and informative vocal breakdown! i remember going through my own obsession with hololive king covers a few months ago, and it was awesome revisiting it again with your musically trained perspective (i would also sell my soul to suisei's voice haha)
thank you for your insight, appreciate the aussie lingo lesson, and hope you enjoy your stay in the vtuber rabbit hole! :D
It's amazing that you can pick up so much from one listening. I have listen to some of these versions so many times but you can still point out a new thing for me.
Gura is the one who hit that high note you liked. I think you'd really dig her original song "Reflect" as well. Beautifully sung and a great message.
I don’t think Risu has a filter, her voice actually has an insane range
This.
Also, she typically uses one of two "voices." Her "Ayunda" voice is her deeper voice and I believe is used in most of her singing. Her "Risu" voice is higher pitched and is what I've heard more frequently in stream clips, but it is also the higher voice that we are hearing in the chorus and doing the "Pa pa pa."
Of course there is a distortion filter on her voice... This has nothing to do with vocal range it's just that her voice gets super trimmed and filtered during the chorus with some distortion filter. That's a kind of voice noone can make without a filter.
And just to catch you up with reality... Any recorded and edited song from any singer out there uses voice filters, reverb, enhancers and other kinds of edits all the time. The voices of singers in official music are almost never unedited and unfiltered. And that's not because the people aren't good at singing, but because you can make a good singing voice sound even better with filters and edits...
@@mojin7470 I thought it was obvious that they were hamming up the "tehe I'm a squirrel" angle of her character. I've had four or five separate people attack me over the years for daring to say that isn't her unfiltered, natural voice and I have to just tilt my head in response.
@@OOZ662 Yeah absolutely. Its just a headscratcher honestly, the fact that people are so blinded and delusional by being a fan of something, that they don't realize that filters can be a musical enhancement and stylistic choice, instead of something negative...
Especially because these filters were probably chosen by Risu herself, because she wanted to sound like that. Which in turn means that these people in fact disregard and disrespect Risu's own artistic choices by being so ignorant and pretentious, which is very ironic.
This is really enjoyable watch. Subscribed to watch more, can't wait.
this is mostly just stream of conscious rambling. so sorry if its a bit hard to read and quite long xD
Wow! I hadn't listened to Towa's before, that was quite something to listen to! Brilliant catch on that B flat.
Interestingly, Risu is quite well known for her vocal range, both talking and singing. I think part of that, is she does most of her speaking in a very high pitched cutesy voice, but is able to pull out a much deeper, sultry voice at the drop of a hat. Tho from memory im not sure how deep that is, compared to the average female voice. the gap between the two is pretty incredible though.
No worries about describing Ayame repeatedly with Cute. everyone else does that too xD
Interesting that you should compare Reine and Risu as both having a pop quality to their voice. Though I have no clue if it actually has any bearing at all on this, they do have a connection in that they're both from Hololive's Indonesian branch. Although I have no clue if that actually has anything to do with it, or if it's just a coincidence. could be either.
Gura and Cali's cover of king is quite something. that's to be sure. Cali is the one handling the rapping, she's a *very* accomplished rapper and songwriter. Though both of them are excellent singers.
I'm sure someone has already explained GUMI and vocaloids at this point, in the comments. It's really interesting where you said though, that 'everything is so chopped up and mixed together. where she's pronouncing every single syllable. like they spliced together each of the japanese syllables with music software.' because you were basically spot on! That's almost exactly how vocaloid works.
I'd love to say that that sound is a stylistic choice, (and have no doubt vocaloid is capable of sounding very much like a real voice in the right hands) but well, the software is very hard to tune well, and so a lot of songs go for a more robotic sound simply because it's easier to make, rather than sound better.
I'd like to mention that, while most will explain vocaloid as a singing software that anyone can use (which it is) it might be better to think of the singer's voice like an instrument. A very good producer can manipulate Gumi, or any other vocaloids voice, in a huge variety of ways, to sing sweetly, softly, harshly, realistically... any number of ways. However someone who is inexperienced with the software will have difficulty getting the voice they want, and it often comes off as unatural or robotic. However a lot of people make that sound work in their songs very well... so overall its very complex.
I should also mention that vocaloid is very popular in part, because it has a massively strong indie scene, because any producer can have a variety of well known 'singers' who will gladly work on any song, regardless of skill or content or fame. Honestly, vocaloid is a whole 'nuther rabbit hole, one that's near and dear to my heart. But is also pretty off topic for this vid, so I'll leave it there. With the last piece of advice that vocaloid music is hugely varied and come in every genera under the sun, from pop to punk to metal to jazz, and every producer has a different style of tuning their chosen vocaloids. If you're interested. I would suggest looking at MitchieM (famous for realistic tuned pop songs), PinochioP (my personal favorite producer) and maybe stuff like Giga, or songs like Lagtrain or Roki.
15:15 'I like when singer's sort of vary their tone a lot, even just within a song.' If you're interested in suggestions for further songs... That brought to mind another song sung by a hololiver, Houshou Marine's 'Unison' which is a very very unique song. It has at least four separate tones, though more subtle than the feat that Matsuri's 'King' showed off. As well as that, the song has prominent polyrhythms, treats marine's voice as another instrument.... and honestly is musically so above my head that I would love to hear someone as well versed as yourself break it down. (It also has incredible visuals and interesting lyrics, there's a *lot* in that song to unpack)
Anyway, that shameless suggestion over, that was an *excellent reaction! I don't get to watch well made breakdowns of things im interested in very often, and im hugely impressed. Thank you so much for this surprise!
Ayee another insightful post! By now you will be well aware I'm maaybe slightly more into this rabbit hole than I intended to be, so it is very helpful to have suggestions to work off of.
Mention of the word 'polyrhythms' has immediately triggered an interest - there's not much pop stuff out there that goes anywhere near that stuff (unless Marine isn't a 'pop' artist as such, but something else?)
@@ravenclawreacts It was very much an experiment for Marine--she was basically like "I know this probably wasn't the type of song you're expecting, but I think you'll really enjoy it."
As the video goes on, im patiently waiting for Towa, Suisei and CallixGura versions 😊 more hololive please 😍
Her reaction to Suisei ddnt disappoint me 😍 Suisei is by far my favorite singing voice in HololiveJP, shes singing "Let it go" for breakfast 😂 Note: she has western influence for her singing prowess 😊
"You are King" that high register you heard is from Gawr Gura, the blue shark, shes known for her incredible singing voice. The one rapping is Calliope Mori, the pink haired Death Reaper 😊
1h20m of hololive king covers? yes thank you!
loved your commentary easiest sub ever
Enjoyed seeing your reactions and analysis/breakdown ~
Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Towa's Palette is a must listen. That and Error. And for more radio friendly stuff, FACT and Akuma.
And King gets covered a lot because it's copyright free. Essentially, the creator allows covers as long as they're credited. Those songs get covered a lot.
I love how in a single listen to all of their covers of King she literally figures out every single one of their personalities. It’s amazing from both sides.
you'd be surprised how deep and high towa's voice can go
morning voice Towa from that one minecraft stream ^_^
@@skuld8985 Well, morning voice + having a dry throat from turning up the heater to high the day before does that, I guess
Thanks for doing this. You pointed out things I missed.
I hope you listen to more of these amazing girls music.
Fascinating video. Really enjoyed how you touched on all the little musical styles and choices made by each member.
And yeah...Towa and Suisei hit me the exact same way. Welcome to the hololive rabbit hole!
"If you're ready to listen to the same song for 30 minutes or so"
*checks timestamp*
1:20:04
...I got time.
An hour and twenty minutes of Hololive King covers? Let's go!
Absolutely amazing read on everyone. You did a wonderful job!
thank you for CC in a clip, that helps me a lot for learning English.
your reaction is great! :)
"She sounds so cute here, but she's an absolute monster"
Well yeah, that's why I love her
I'm one of Suisei's "Hoshiyomi's" when you listen to her at first I was kinda like wow she's speachless and as a Hoshiyomi im proud of her
I've just arrived here through the power of the RUclips recommended videos algorithm, and I have to say that was an absolute pleasure of a couple of hours (between this and going back to your Kanata reaction video). It's seriously so wholesome and faith-restoring to see someone truly giving a new thing a chance, and taking it seriously. By which I don't mean not having fun with it, but that you treat the impact these people have on the lives of many, their incredible talents, and the variety of the people themselves with the respect they deserve! It's so easy for people to look in from the outside and not give it the time of day; assuming a toxic culture, throwing around the "simp" accusations, just not seeing things for what they truly are for many people; but you took the time and gave the thought to explore this, and I thank you for that.
You are evidently a very skilled and talented musician and musical theorist, and yet you aren't in any way a snob about anything presented to you - it's so common for people with training and passion in fine arts of any kind to diminish the value of anything outside of their field, but here you were, getting genuinely hyped up over a dub-remix; and why the hell not? All music and all art has its place and its value, and I love and respect it all too!
In conclusion, I just think you're a very cool human being and I'd love to see and hear your reactions and deeper musical knowledge than mine turned to the rest of what the world of Hololive has to offer! Anything from pop to rap, vocaloid to celtic/waltz fusion, there's a lot out there from a lot of really talented Holomembers :)
Amazing ear to pick out that Sora is classically trained. Spot on! I enjoyed your reactions to all the different variations of King
Your reaction to Suisei's voice has given life! Yes, I seriously recommend literally everything she has ever done. Suisei is probably my top go to for music in Hololive followed closely by Calli, Watame, Kanata, and Towa. Gura is also a great singer but she only has one original and hasn't done any solo covers, shes the one that did the high note in the King cover.
"King" has to be one of the most covered songs in recent years; it's quite odd that Kanata pulled her version which is quite superb, but you can still find it mirrored around here. Kagura Nana and Iida Pochi, Ayame's and Reine's "mothers" (character designers) respectively, also recorded their versions as well: obviously inspired by Reine's version, Pochi ramped it up even more.
Kanata will record again the King cover, but she intends to make the version that is private available on membership after she releases the new one.
I just found this channel and I gotta say I really liked this reaction. I'm kinda looking forward to seeing you react to more hololive content!
Love how she detect that callo came from south
I wish you reacted to Noel's cover of King, its the best one hands down!
My man go up there and it known
Amen
Facts
fr
Having listened to this an unhealthy number of times and being a moderate Hoshiyomi, it's really fun how much of an impact Suisei had while sounding like she was on the other side of a wall from her mic. The "she got out of bed and recorded this" bit might not be far off the truth; I can't imagine a studio would muffle their mic that much. Though I also have a _very_ fleeting memory (like, 95% chance I'm misremembering) that this cover was recorded when she was suffering a lot of vocal pain and that was one of the main drivers of the tone shift down; while she already includes a lot of those "harsh stops" that Raven equates to the sword through the air in her natural/unhindered singing style, to my unprofessional-but-spent-all-of-school-in-choir ear a few of them sound almost like a crack before crying or forcing out a last note before pain makes her cut her take.
The section at 49:37 strikes me the most: the last syllable of "mukidashite" (just before the pa-pa-pa) is strained and falls ever so slightly flat, the following "jamakusai" is similarly strained, then the last syllable of "tsukidashite" (just before the final pa-pa-pa) sounds like she's on the edge of tears, her throat almost completely closed up, she doesn't sing the whole length of the note, and is even further down in pitch than the former; it doesn't sound like it's autotuned, but almost like something was put behind her (like a backup vocalist kind of thing) to "harmonize" it up a little bit.
Or I did indeed misremember and she's just hamming up the edginess of the song. Both are entirely possible and plausible with Suisei. I pray that the surgery she just had on her throat heals well and eases the pain she endures regardless.
Loved the reactions to the covers and I've surely learned something from it. It was interesting how you tried to describe a vocialoid song without being familiar at all with the concept of vocaloid itself , also shows how we're so used to extreme use of filters on singers voices too
I had a huge smile watching through this video waiting for you to witness the amazing voices of hololive.
