The mic is real, this was filmed in the studio. The only 3D render is Sui-chan and the headphone she is using. They imposed the model on her post-production, and she used the motion capture suit and face reader, so she is singing this one take in the studio, and killed it. She said in her Twitter space she did after the video went online, that during the meeting for The First Take, the staff and manager said that she should just went for it without doing warm up or introduction like others, since there would be people who don't know what Vtubers are and it would be good just to blow them away with her singing, which it worked, people in the waiting room and before she began to sing, there were comments already saying not so good thing that she was an "anime" and pissed off at the fans for posting comet emoji (her oshi mark) thinking it was spaming, after the singing, she shut them up for good.
Now add to this that she had throat surgery in september, and she does this without warmup now a mere 4 months later. Suisei isn't just fantastic she is out of this world.
imo people who think that it's overhyped don't understand how much of a big deal the first take is for japanese musicians in general. suisei is amazing ofc, but she's now standing not just on top of vtuber youtube, but on mainstream japanese music industry, alongside big names that you'd often see on animes and oricon charts. she's now being taken seriously as a musician. not just a "vtuber who can sing" but a true *singer*
Not only was this a big deal for Japanese musicians and vtubers, but a big leap in what the future will hold for anonymous avatars. Virtual avatars are becoming a more popular medium to communicate not only music but other social activities. I hope these types of interactions can get even more popular and I think that both the Vtuber and VrChat industries are the pioneers of this idea.
What really get's me is the weight of this moment... I can't even imagine how she felt doing this. So many Vtubers out there want to be taken seriously as true performers, entertainers and artists, but because of the social stigma that comes with being a part of this community and being seen as nothing but a group of weebs, most people on outside looking in can't take them seriously. Imagine knowing that, going there with the weight of thousands and thousands of Vtubers wishing the world would see them for what they truly are and only getting ONE SHOT to prove to the rest of the world how talented they are honestly brings me to tears. That first breathe alone shows the pressure she felt at that moment and that first note already made me cry.... And of course she killed it!
Still, "First vtuber to appear in the channel, representing the potential of the whole community, carrying hopes and dreams on her shoulders. Nervousness level = I Sleep. Mario Kart tournament nervousness level= Real Shit!!!!"
Surely all those V-tubers will be thankful! Surely they'll see Suisei as their hero and won't hate or attack her for being the first and the only V-tuber to perform on First Take, right?
@@satousuzuki8997 afaik, JP vtubers are surprisingly respectful with each other, or borderline don't want to do anything with each other lmao but who would be stupid enough to attack her anyway. EN vtuber? Who knows.
@@satousuzuki8997 from the amount of Stellar Stellar cover by vtubers after this First Take, I think most of them choose to follow her. That's the smart choice, right?
@@satousuzuki8997 I can totally see them doing that. BUT if there's anyone that I'd bet on to be able to touch the hearts of even those folks with a performance it would be Suisei.
I've been suggesting vocal coaches react to this, since there are surprisingly few reactions by actual vocal coaches, and this is the perfect performance to get their attention.
Check out ravenclaw reacts she talks about technical stuff and shes a hoshiyomi too, she did suisei and towa's album too Edit : ps. She always do a long video so watch it on your free time with a cup of coffee/tea
Watching people's reactions to suisei's first take has been a rabbit hole for me as a Hololive fan. Commenting about it with knowledge and suggestions for people who clearly want to know more. I'm excited for the second song she has coming soon on the first take
@@syaondri Of the reactions Ive seen 95% are completely and utterly positive. The few that aren't, they have things to say about the lack of facial expression which is true, and the lack of understanding of why Vtubers don't show their faces. This is coming of course from people who have no idea what a Vtuber is as well as zero understanding of Japanese.
Suisei did say in a stream that 'Stellar Stellar' at 12pm (the time this TFT was apparently filmed) would kill her. While you can hear her voice sounding a little strained in some parts, she definitely killed the song
@@Spice iv seen a vocal coach reaction to it and she was positive that the strain was planned to add the emotion of the song that would otherwise not be there.
One thing I loved about all this is that Suisei explained in a stream afterwards that she had once told her manager in Hololive that she was thinking on doing an MV where she pretended that she was on THE FIRST TAKE singing a song. The reply of her Manager was a big no, explaining to her that she should continue forwards with the objective of one day being on THE FIRST TAKE for real, not pretending. Suisei agreed with her and the rest is history.
To clarify about the warmup thing, it HIGHLY likely that Suisei did her own vocal warmups off-camera. It's not good for the vocal chords to start singing, especially the way Suisei does, without doing so. Understanding why a lack of warmup is significant requires some context on how the other videos tend to start. Most of their videos start with some vocal warmups and maybe a little light chatting, to set the mood and also establish some personability. The reason Suisei ended up not doing this was because there were concerns (mostly from management) that people who looked at her with curiosity, and perhaps doubt, would be dismissive of her during this pre-music segment before she even had a chance to start singing. So, to take advantage of people's curiosity without giving them any time to become disinterested, they decided she should just immediately start with vocals to grab their attention. Maybe it was undue concern, but I think the idea still worked regardless. It's also worth noting that this wasn't so much about "doubters" and "haters," people who are actively negative or antagonistic toward the idea of vTubers or virtual anime girls or what have you, but the multitudes of people who were going to see this video who would genuinely have no idea what they were looking at and be passively dismissive. No one cares about the doubters and haters, they're already doubting and hating. Also, the person on GUITAR (Taku Inoue) is the composer/producer of Stellar Stellar, not the person on piano. The person on piano is, however, a part of Midnight Grand Orchestra, Suisei and Taku Inoue's collab project.
Starting the song without any lighthearted talk is also quite strategic to capture people's attention the fastest. 1. Viewers of FIRST TAKE are mostly people who enjoy Japanese music, so understandably, there will be a part of the audience who knows little to nothing about Vtubers. So, capturing their attention with pure talent should be a priority. 2. The song choice is important, too. 「Stellar Stellar」 is arguably one of Suisei's most popular songs, but it's also one of the songs with a powerful opening - no instruments in the first few seconds, just raw vocal talent. Best way to draw attention. 3. Generally, people take about 3 to 5s to unconsciously decide whether they are interested in a topic. If Suisei has started with some small talk, some viewers may have just clicked off the video since she's not a famous singer, as compared to people who had been on the channel. Ultimately, the choice to perform 「Stellar Stellar」 is a good move, as the first Vtuber to perform on FIRST TAKE.
I first heard this when I had youtube just playing whatever (mainly vtuber clips cause I just started leaning into the rabbit hole at that time) while I was cleaning and as soon as she started singing I had to stop what I was doing to listen cause I was blown away. Suisei literally kicked me into the rabbit hole that day with her singing alone and I couldn't be happier ☄️☄️☄️
The First Take is a prestigious opportunity for any singer. It showcases the immense talent of anyone singing in the video. I would say that it is no joke that only perfection is in these videos. I especially love Uru and Lisa having a duet. I can't wait for Sora to be in First Take. Just thinking about it gives me chills.
To that one guy in chat asking if warm up is harmful for the voice. No, it is like a warm up before an exercise. It is so you don't injured yourself, but also so your muscles perform at their best.
@@effortlessfury I mean, she probably did do a warm-up, just off camera before the recording as they wanted her to sing without spending time with introduction or warm-up so that people with negative preconceptions of Vtubers could hear her before they decided to leave and could judge her on her singing and not on being a Vtuber.
@@gokbay3057 Yes, that is the case. I made a separate comment about it to help clarify for Koe. I just wanted to clarify here that someone in chat wasn't suggesting that what everyone else does is somehow harmful.
I know I shouldn't be judgemental of others but the dude in chat that said "it's neat but the performance doesn't have any impact on me" must be dead inside. I teared up in the first 2 words. I felt Suisei break through a barrier for VTubers everywhere with a single song.
A lot of the impact from a performance like this is from the context. Personally, I am not at all familiar with the music side of vtubers and this performance didn't really make me think anything other than "That was pretty good." It's definitely a great performance, and the impact it will have on the mainstream recognition of the music aspect of vtubing will be huge. Especially so for Suisei as an artist.
@@E.G.1005 "it's neat but the performance doesn't have any impact on me" - what from that comment gives off the impression that the guy is familiar with vtubers?
@@midknightcrisis8612 well mostly the fact that he willingly engaged with a streamer reacting to vtuber content. But the original comment even admits they are aware what he is about to say is in the minority. If they were completely ignorant there wouldn't be clarification or context like that. There's also the possibility the commenter was doing the exact same thing I did here. Say something slightly controversial, while fully understanding the implications of it, to see if a completely banal comment will get a rise out of people. Or they were just a curious normie who doesn't react emotionally to a musical performance unless a real life human is shown. Or at all I suppose. But that reality is even more cringe to me.
I hope YuNi makes it there one day. She did a few months of First Take inspired performances on her own channel, and moved from up8 to Toy's Factory, a JP record label whose roster includes the likes of Babymetal, Livetune, and the very famous Bump of Chicken.
I feel like there could be a godlike anime/manga about someone that composes songs for vtubers. Basically the piano guy here. Following the process of getting to know the talent and writing a song to their strengths that encapsulates whatever it is they are trying to convey with the song. Each arc would be a song for a different person.
Aaaaaaand! She's not done! She'll comeback this Wednesday! Ngl I don't watch her Livestream but I do love her songs.. I really love how her stubbornes paid up.
There's something satisfying and eargasmic about Suisei's high notes that is just perfect to listen in. That's what captivated me every time she sings. I don't see her just a VTuber, she's always be an artist.
To all my knowledge The First Take channel is all about first takes, so every thing is first take, I think that by warm up is meant like that aaaAAaaaA they do. They usually talk a bit an cam too, etc.
I love the First Take concept so much. It showed your singing prowess directly. No autotune, no backup singers. They even invited Western singers as well like Avril Lavigne and Harry Styles.
There are some incredible singers in Hololive, Suisei is absolutely among them. She's right there along with AZKi, IRyS, Calli, Risu, Moona, Reine and many others. But this just shows the dedication and hours Suisei put into learning her lyrics, to be able to perform them so well within 1 take and not even having to warm up beforehand.
I heard of First Take a while ago when some other big names appeared on it... I think it was YOASOBI like a year ago. Seems like a pretty significant thing. Either way I kinda maybe cried when I heard this version of Stellar Stellar. And the subsequent times I heard this version. There's something to the fact that I've been following Suisei since before Stellar Stellar was released, I think - It's super exciting to see her reach things like First Take now.
its not that the performers warm-up with songs, but i usually see them vocal exercising before everything starts, to make sure they would sound their best. But suisei here, just fuckn flew, and belt it out on the first syllables. gotta say this was very insane to see, because you can see LisA doing vocal warm ups and exercises before she stars, truly a star.
me over here realizing i hadnt listened to anything on the first take for a bit. went to their video page and she popped out immediately to me. "Hol up, she made it on? Lets peep-HOLY SHIT"
I've been watch Suisei since march 2020 and seeing how far she's come, and how she's managed to not only dominate the vtubing space musically, but also break out into mainstream circles too makes me so happy and proud of her. I bet the producers she auditioned to in the past, who told her she was too much of a generalist and rejected her are kicking themselves for doing so now. I can't wait until this Wednesday when we get her second First Take song. Now that people know what to expect it might not get the same numbers / catch people off guard, but hopefully it'll take a lot of those people who were impressed by her, and turn them into fans.
the "practice" mentioned was the vocalization at the start before they give the signal for the intro. most of the artists do that but suisei just went on with the song. so it's just a first take.
cant wait for her new one to come out, suisei said its always the newest song on her, maybe it wont be 3:12 but i hope she does that one anyway for future first takes.
Im telling you, Suisei has always been great but in 2023 it feels like the stars are aligning for her in a lot of different ways. We saw her First take, her album, and her 2nd solo live! And that was just in the first month. we’re also gonna see Holo Fes, gonna see another First take tomorrow, and also gonna see a 3rd solo concert “coming soon”. Suisei is an incredibly hard worker and someone who shoots for the stars every single tike and im telling you This is her year and it makes me emotional and incredibly excited to see her accomplishments in 2023
Cali is making her own way(her target audience being more EN focus helps give her that wider audience exposure), and all the credit to her for that, but she's a clear 2-3 factors off Suisei when it comes to her singing. Risu has the vocal range, but I'm uncertain if she has the temperament/mental toughness to do what Suisei does. Sora might've helped open up the industry and paved a path for Suisei, but she doesn't have the charisma Suisei can pull(I don't think we can knock her temperament, she did trailblaze Hololive, but she's a bit too chill/relaxed vs the lengths Suisei will go to for her singing). AZki has some talent too, but she's more mainstream in her appeal(which makes her marketable, and probably why she was chosen as the focus for Inonaka music, but the downside to that is she's not quite as impactful). This appearance on first take is kinda both a sign of more mainstream acceptance of virtual performers into the industry, as well as a bit of a flex/statement message from Suisei herself(that proving doubters/haters wrong thing, which is ballsy in a way not many in her position would be able to pull). Here's hoping that more of the talents in Vtubing will find their way onto the bigger stage Suisei is now opening up(if we go by history, it might not even be Suisei who takes the grand stage first, but we'll soon see where inter-industry politics will take things).
Mori's not really a singer and hadn't had that kind of training until Hololive. She's always been a hip hop artist first and all her music has roots in that.
The story of the song and what's behind Suisie's history makes this truly epic. She's finally getting the recognition she deserves and she's proving she truly is stellar.
This reminds me of the time towa did a full concert with a live band I'm not sure if they did it like first take style or if they did multiple live recordings and took the best ones for the broadcast but it gave off similar vibes of kickassery
Their are a few that can match suisei in power and skill but her range is something unnaturally talented that she's sadly losing slowly and only a few people (not just vtubers but like only a few hundred people) are at her level
Suisei is such a damn pro. Her voice, control, projection and the way she just kills those long notes is just way too good. I adore this toned down version of Stellar Stellar too. I never thought that song could get any better but she just killed it here. I really love how Vtubers and their music is starting to filter out into a larger audience, one that isn't exclusively people who are already Vtuber fans. Sasuga Comet ☄
For Risu to get on there she'll need to release another banger song but it has to be a next level banger, the few foreign artists they've invited to TFT have already been previously established world stars so Risu would need to focus a lot more on making music(Which I'm 100% down for!)
It's not just the fact that the performance was amazing. It's Suisei, of course it's amazing. It's the fact that this is a first and it is HUGE not just for hololive but for the vtuber scene as a whole. That being said, i think Suisei is the perfect vtuber to be on the frontlines of this whole thing.
She's going to have a second FT coming Wednesday, tune in there! That's Tuesday for US. She hasn't mentioned which song is it going to be but I think it's going to be Pathfinder, her latest song.
the thing about the first take is that they have to perform it like just one take whatever happens and not auto tuned no lipsync no nonsense and I think the channel is owned by the same company that handled YOASOBI and somewhat sponsored or co-owned by sony
Risu probably needs more songs, before she does such a thing. Its such an unfortunate thing that ID is a poorer region and she has all the issues she has, less opportunities. Suisei knocked it out of the park and the 2nd song is coming in a few days!
Well we can see this situation in a positive light, like..... imagine.....if somehow Risu actually got invited to perform on First Take despite all the "debuffs" that she's suffered and killed it..... imagine how that'll change her current status quo....
More original songs, working together with big-name producers or records, and maybe a solo concert. Just being good at singing is not enough for ONE FIRST TAKE, you had to build a name for yourself too.
I feel like the only person in all of Hololive who would argue that Suisei isn't the strongest voice in the company is Suisei herself, who would if pressed hard enough say its Callie, Watame, IRyS, AZki, and/or Risu.
The Hoshiyomi want to thank you for your service! Stay tuned for the SECOND The First Take coming THIS WEDNESDAY! Also, Hoshimachi Suisei 2nd Sololive, Shout in Crisis is Available on SPWN and so is her 2nd Album, Specter, In Store Now!
I agree Liking a vTuber doesnt mean they are a good singer Gura has the most Kareoke songs in English and Japanese but she tends to screw around a lot while singing but when she just sings people question if its even Gura as her voice deepen out of character or she hits Saprano like when she sings "See the light" from Tangled(She tends to nail Disney Songs, no surprise since Hololive nabbed her from Disney) singing out of character range
You should honestly give Blooming in the Mud cover done by Hakos Baelz and Towa a listen. It’s an amazing performance that I think will honestly blow you away.

I hope YuNi makes it there one day. She did a few months of First Take inspired performances on her own channel, and moved from up8 to Toy's Factory, a JP record label whose roster includes the likes of Babymetal, Livetune, and the very famous Bump of Chicken.
Toumeiseisai damn that shit hit like a train
Toy’s Factory is also where Suisei and InoTaku’s MGO is.
I feel like there could be a godlike anime/manga about someone that composes songs for vtubers. Basically the piano guy here. Following the process of getting to know the talent and writing a song to their strengths that encapsulates whatever it is they are trying to convey with the song. Each arc would be a song for a different person.
Would be super fun, love the idea. Kinda like a Dress-Up Darling but for Vtubers, except each one could only get one. Dress-Up Darling x Golden Boy? 😂
Suisei returns to the first take on wednesday for another song!!!!!!!
Koefficient being in this community is one of the best things that happened to us, thanks for the reaction, and of course thanks suisei for existing💙💙
Aaaaaaand! She's not done!
She'll comeback this Wednesday!
Ngl I don't watch her Livestream but I do love her songs..
I really love how her stubbornes paid up.
I never heard any suichan song before the medley shuffle then I check her playlist, this girl when she hits high notes holy guacamolee beautiful
I think it’s also terrifying that Suisei said she was Less stressed about recording and was more Stressed to stream After it released
She also said before that she feels 30% nervous at lives and is far more nervous with Mario Kart.
There's something satisfying and eargasmic about Suisei's high notes that is just perfect to listen in. That's what captivated me every time she sings. I don't see her just a VTuber, she's always be an artist.
To all my knowledge The First Take channel is all about first takes, so every thing is first take, I think that by warm up is meant like that aaaAAaaaA they do. They usually talk a bit an cam too, etc.
for song, should check out Kaf from Kamitsubaki. she held her 3rd one man live at budoukan. suisei has yet to go there.
I love the First Take concept so much. It showed your singing prowess directly. No autotune, no backup singers. They even invited Western singers as well like Avril Lavigne and Harry Styles.
There are some incredible singers in Hololive, Suisei is absolutely among them. She's right there along with AZKi, IRyS, Calli, Risu, Moona, Reine and many others.
But this just shows the dedication and hours Suisei put into learning her lyrics, to be able to perform them so well within 1 take and not even having to warm up beforehand.
Suisei has a great voice, but I started listening this song from Miko and now I can't stop laughing everytime I heard the introduciton.
Koe reacting to this so late, then again I watched what I believe was the first reaction video for Suisei’s first take from GOT Games
GOT Games was in the chat of the First Take Premiere so yeah, it was probably the first reaction posted.
As a longtime Hoshiyomi AND massive fan of FirstTake I almost fuckin balled my eyes out when I saw this was releasing.
The inhuman effort I make to not cry during this session is incredible...
Stellar Stellar never fails to bring a tear to my eye, there is just so much raw emotion that Suisei POURS into that song.
I heard of First Take a while ago when some other big names appeared on it... I think it was YOASOBI like a year ago. Seems like a pretty significant thing.
Either way I kinda maybe cried when I heard this version of Stellar Stellar. And the subsequent times I heard this version. There's something to the fact that I've been following Suisei since before Stellar Stellar was released, I think - It's super exciting to see her reach things like First Take now.
its not that the performers warm-up with songs, but i usually see them vocal exercising before everything starts, to make sure they would sound their best. But suisei here, just fuckn flew, and belt it out on the first syllables. gotta say this was very insane to see, because you can see LisA doing vocal warm ups and exercises before she stars, truly a star.
me over here realizing i hadnt listened to anything on the first take for a bit. went to their video page and she popped out immediately to me. "Hol up, she made it on? Lets peep-HOLY SHIT"
"My hair follicles got boners!"
-Koefficient, 2023
I love the little hand gestures she’s doing as she sings
I've been watch Suisei since march 2020 and seeing how far she's come, and how she's managed to not only dominate the vtubing space musically, but also break out into mainstream circles too makes me so happy and proud of her. I bet the producers she auditioned to in the past, who told her she was too much of a generalist and rejected her are kicking themselves for doing so now. I can't wait until this Wednesday when we get her second First Take song. Now that people know what to expect it might not get the same numbers / catch people off guard, but hopefully it'll take a lot of those people who were impressed by her, and turn them into fans.
It was at over 7 million when I saw it!
The moment I finished watching this I just yelled “BOI… GADAAAAM… HOOOLYYYY FUCK THATS A VOICE!!!”
the "practice" mentioned was the vocalization at the start before they give the signal for the intro. most of the artists do that but suisei just went on with the song. so it's just a first take.
cant wait for her new one to come out, suisei said its always the newest song on her, maybe it wont be 3:12 but i hope she does that one anyway for future first takes.
and now Koe needs to react to her 2nd First Take this coming wednesday haha
Doesn't matter the language the voice is exceptional ❤❤❤❤
Just want to put it for anyone who just saw this. Suisei is doing a second one.
2 hours from now
Im telling you, Suisei has always been great but in 2023 it feels like the stars are aligning for her in a lot of different ways. We saw her First take, her album, and her 2nd solo live! And that was just in the first month. we’re also gonna see Holo Fes, gonna see another First take tomorrow, and also gonna see a 3rd solo concert “coming soon”. Suisei is an incredibly hard worker and someone who shoots for the stars every single tike and im telling you This is her year and it makes me emotional and incredibly excited to see her accomplishments in 2023
Cali is making her own way(her target audience being more EN focus helps give her that wider audience exposure), and all the credit to her for that, but she's a clear 2-3 factors off Suisei when it comes to her singing. Risu has the vocal range, but I'm uncertain if she has the temperament/mental toughness to do what Suisei does. Sora might've helped open up the industry and paved a path for Suisei, but she doesn't have the charisma Suisei can pull(I don't think we can knock her temperament, she did trailblaze Hololive, but she's a bit too chill/relaxed vs the lengths Suisei will go to for her singing). AZki has some talent too, but she's more mainstream in her appeal(which makes her marketable, and probably why she was chosen as the focus for Inonaka music, but the downside to that is she's not quite as impactful).
This appearance on first take is kinda both a sign of more mainstream acceptance of virtual performers into the industry, as well as a bit of a flex/statement message from Suisei herself(that proving doubters/haters wrong thing, which is ballsy in a way not many in her position would be able to pull). Here's hoping that more of the talents in Vtubing will find their way onto the bigger stage Suisei is now opening up(if we go by history, it might not even be Suisei who takes the grand stage first, but we'll soon see where inter-industry politics will take things).
Mori's not really a singer and hadn't had that kind of training until Hololive. She's always been a hip hop artist first and all her music has roots in that.
Still can't believe we're getting another First Take vid with her when the original *has only been out for only like a week*
It's actually a fairly common thing for The First Take to feature the same artist twice within a few weeks. Still hype, though.
The story of the song and what's behind Suisie's history makes this truly epic. She's finally getting the recognition she deserves and she's proving she truly is stellar.
dont forget folks, This wednesday, the 2nd song will be premiered on the first take channel,
This reminds me of the time towa did a full concert with a live band I'm not sure if they did it like first take style or if they did multiple live recordings and took the best ones for the broadcast but it gave off similar vibes of kickassery
Their are a few that can match suisei in power and skill but her range is something unnaturally talented that she's sadly losing slowly and only a few people (not just vtubers but like only a few hundred people) are at her level
Indeed bro, one time I actually thought Suisei was Ado, when I heard the One Piece Red movie songs.
I saw some comments on the original video complaining about the "cartoon character". Have people just forgotten about bands like The Gorillas?
Glad you're starting to warm up to their music and the huge effort and talent behind it, mate.
Suisei is such a damn pro. Her voice, control, projection and the way she just kills those long notes is just way too good. I adore this toned down version of Stellar Stellar too. I never thought that song could get any better but she just killed it here. I really love how Vtubers and their music is starting to filter out into a larger audience, one that isn't exclusively people who are already Vtuber fans.
Sasuga Comet ☄
so proud of her shes my favorite singer in hololive
For Risu to get on there she'll need to release another banger song but it has to be a next level banger, the few foreign artists they've invited to TFT have already been previously established world stars so Risu would need to focus a lot more on making music(Which I'm 100% down for!)
Our shooting star really started from the bottom, now she’s here.
personally i like stellar stellar but my favorite song from suisei is "ghost"
She did another first take live video today on
2/1/23
It's not just the fact that the performance was amazing. It's Suisei, of course it's amazing. It's the fact that this is a first and it is HUGE not just for hololive but for the vtuber scene as a whole. That being said, i think Suisei is the perfect vtuber to be on the frontlines of this whole thing.
She's going to have a second FT coming Wednesday, tune in there! That's Tuesday for US. She hasn't mentioned which song is it going to be but I think it's going to be Pathfinder, her latest song.
Ghost maybe
It's at 22:00 JST which is will be Wednesday morning for the US.
the thing about the first take is that they have to perform it like just one take whatever happens and not auto tuned no lipsync no nonsense and I think the channel is owned by the same company that handled YOASOBI and somewhat sponsored or co-owned by sony
When i first saw this i was really blown away and amazing, i said it once and I'll say it again this is why i love the girls for what they do
literally chills
So nice they had to have her on twice
Suisei IRL legs. I am finally achieved heaven
Oh man, you should see her new concert outfit. I think she's using it for her next First Take video on Wednesday.
Seeing as how Suichan was placed in her element we should get Miko in a comedy show.
Risu probably needs more songs, before she does such a thing. Its such an unfortunate thing that ID is a poorer region and she has all the issues she has, less opportunities. Suisei knocked it out of the park and the 2nd song is coming in a few days!
Well we can see this situation in a positive light, like..... imagine.....if somehow Risu actually got invited to perform on First Take despite all the "debuffs" that she's suffered and killed it..... imagine how that'll change her current status quo....
More original songs, working together with big-name producers or records, and maybe a solo concert. Just being good at singing is not enough for ONE FIRST TAKE, you had to build a name for yourself too.
First take is more about prestige than talent imo. Being good is not enough, you gotta be big too.
She even beat Harry Styles already.
her song reminded of her vtuber journey
I feel like the only person in all of Hololive who would argue that Suisei isn't the strongest voice in the company is Suisei herself, who would if pressed hard enough say its Callie, Watame, IRyS, AZki, and/or Risu.
What about Towa?
put Kanata in the list as well
she's a contender for top vocalist in Hololive
@@STN4D Kanatan is my favorite in all of HoloJP, but you can't pretend that since she lost hearing in one of her ears her singing hasn't faltered.
@@Faron93 Excellent, a top 10 contender but not a top 3 or even top 5.
@@stevemanart Agree to disagree then.
Agree to you risu is one of the few underrrated singer also kanata
Did he watch Shuffle Medley yet?
I hope the next one is Ghost
Most likely it will not be ghost, so the first take always goes with signature song then new song so the next one most likely be from spectre album.
I think it will be Pathfinder
@@tinyhowie either pathfinder, soiree, or wii wii woo in my opinion but let wednesday surprise us
The Hoshiyomi want to thank you for your service! Stay tuned for the SECOND The First Take coming THIS WEDNESDAY! Also, Hoshimachi Suisei 2nd Sololive, Shout in Crisis is Available on SPWN and so is her 2nd Album, Specter, In Store Now!
Will you do a video for the Hololive medley? I know you have seen it but I would love to see your reaction as I missed it sadly.
by the way the mic is not rendered
we need a Koeff First Take... on ... something.. I guess
It's already gone past 7 million views because Suisei's unstoppable!
This shit is soul healing
This Wednesday her 2nd TFT appearance
The best First Takes are from ryokushoukou shakai, I want Watame to be the next for how much work she puts on developing her music career.
Don't forget, Suisei is going to be on the first take a Second time this Wednesday (2-1).
wait till he lears that suisei is doing another first take
Idol tier
Has Koe seen Kanata's 21 second note from her Unravel performance?
I'd love to see his reaction to it.
Recently he did but probably will be on other video or channel
I agree
Liking a vTuber doesnt mean they are a good singer
Gura has the most Kareoke songs in English and Japanese but she tends to screw around a lot while singing but when she just sings people question if its even Gura as her voice deepen out of character or she hits Saprano like when she sings "See the light" from Tangled(She tends to nail Disney Songs, no surprise since Hololive nabbed her from Disney) singing out of character range
Tier 1: Suisei and Risu
Tier 2: Kanata, Irys, Azki, etc
Worth looking into Suisei’s rise to fame. She almost didn’t make, and the world would’ve been poorer for it.
You should honestly give Blooming in the Mud cover done by Hakos Baelz and Towa a listen. It’s an amazing performance that I think will honestly blow you away.
You should watch Nobodyknows+ first take, they're great
a voice that can match suisei for me would be inui toko of nijisanji..
kevin smith is into hololive
😳
No lol
