Why would you want Ado to become another generic clean singing vocalist? There are plenty of them already if that's what you like. To me and many other people these gritty "banshee" kind of voice is what makes her stand out. And the way she does it is really far from vocal abuse. She is doing very sophistically, most classical singers would have real trouble to sing these kinds of songs and not just loose it. Music is subjective, your liking of Dignity is just your taste and is actually exactly opposite of mine. So please be more reserved in saying that something is badly produced or just terrible. I kind of feel you are missing the whole point that makes her so successful.
why tf is the dislike ratio so bad, can ado fans rlly not handle their fave getting criticized? i personally thought this review was well articulated and actually had GOOD POINTS. it feels like this is one of the only well produced video about ado that isn't just riding her meat lol
As an Ado fan, I think this video, at its core, outlines a lot of my worries with Ado, but I still find myself enjoying her music more than any other artist
I can only say that it is a pity that your knowledge is too superficial and arbitrary. Ado explained in more detail her original intention of making this album in a TV program interview a few days ago (15/7?). She wanted to show more of the dynamics and statics in her songs in this album, without emphasizing consistency, but more extreme in both directions. She even said that the first track "Nukegara" was the most balanced song in her mind, and the song that could best show both aspects at the same time. From your opinion, The direction she took in producing this album was very successful, and it also showed her great say in her works. There is no such thing as she was forced to sing "she didn't want to sing" song Every song she released was carefully produced by her whole heart. In addition to the lyrics and arrangement, everything from the singing style of the song, the album name to the concert name, etc. were all controlled and decided by her. The only thing she could not decide was probably what peripheral products would be released (she once complained about why the company would release a glove puppet🤣)
ado did not produce any of the instrumentals on the album and many of the songs credit someone else with lyrics as well. similar approach to many idol groups
@@curealmy Ado does not have a fixed composer or lyricist.(It's better to say that there are a few artists who can balance originality) But her singing style is definitely her own creation and it is impossible that anyone instructed her to do so.(Which lunatic would ask someone to change four different tones in a single lyric? Except for Ado herself) You can see from the member list of her works that her songs are more of a collaborative nature (some members are much more famous and influential than her)
i fuck with the vision but it looks like you’re missing his other side project, blu-ra¥, highly encouraging you check it out and maybe give this vid an update
The hate Ado gets despite her obvious talent reminds me of the hate Lana del Rey got at the beginning of her career despite her obvious vocal and song-writting talent. In both cases there were some good points, specially how the instrumentals often dont matched the vocals that well, but the criticism was over-blown that you have to wonder whats the actual basis behind. My take is both Ado and Lana became super popular while singing in a more alternative style and somewhat made up critics dont like that if they didnt get the chance to hype up the artist before they get mainstream sucess.
Doing the same thing for an entire album would be too limiting for an artist as versatile as Ado. I can see the argument for doing too much much on a single song but I don't agree with that.
I agree and disagree with you, (But I 100% respect your opinion) Ado's natural voice is truly amazing (like in DIGNITY), And tbh I prefer it over her other vocal varieties, but Ado works with different producers, genres, and vocal variety (like growls, falsetto, fry screams etc.), and it makes each single/track special on its own, and it reaches a very big audience of people who are interested in a lot of genres, so for those who like metal rock, will probably listen to RuLe. (But of course, everyone has their own interests). Anyways I just wanted to share my thoughts with y'all, +1 subscriber earned <3
Lmao I agree about chocolate cadabra being the most add like song I've had the displeasure of hearing ado sing but... RuLe slaps tho! I'm pretty sure you just have a bias against grungy/screamy songs and can't really appreciate the song for what it is (which is fine I was like that not long ago)
Wtf . Like what the point you trying to make . Yes she very young ther will be hit or miss as she still discover but most people know ado from ussewa and it sounds pretty violence so your take on rule just unreasonable . Hell when i first discover ado it her kimi no taion cover that amaz me cuz her deep and strong voice because that song kinda a tragic love story and she make me feel like that person behind the microphone can scream and express the pain and sadness behind the lyric . Ado has a strong voice and ability to express her voice and emotion freely in a lot of ways that makes everyone find something on her . She some how in alot of time express the song more than just singing abilities . So i say if she not fit you just stop listening . I say this because 1 know one will cares about your opinion anyway 2 everyone has their own taste although theirs are some bad singers exist but not this one 3 your take on rule clearly show you don't actually understand the reason why she famous ( my self personal thinks rule is ok but it just my personal taste aka i like more screaming than more voice transition and ussewa still good enough for me ) . And i think talk about smooth you can look at himawari ( god her voice in that song made my mom cry and when i tell her the meaning behind the lyric she remember her good friend in school )
Just found your channel, really cool video +1 sub. Gonna listen to some of those albums that I didnt listen to yet. And its cool to see Haru Nemuri, MDG and Ichiko Aoba in honorable mentions. If I could do a fast view on albums Im currently listening non-stop It would be probably Luv(sic) Hexalogy - Nujabes, Her abinding memory - Pitcher56, qp - Ichiko Aoba, Super Champon - Otoboke Beaver, aratamemashite - midori, Spool - Spool, paddle ship - tiny yawn, Love Trip - Takako Mamiya... theres so many other artists I could talk about, but I must control myself 😅
one of my favorite albums ngl, really hoping that love/hate gets put on spotify next. amazing video btw, im happy someone is finally giving this band some love, theyre so underrated
just found your channel recently and I really like the work that you do in these videos! I have been listening to a lot of good stuff lately because of you!
This is personally one of my favorite recent finds. Not just a really good japanese emo, but one the best emo records in general. To me its a near perfect album and i pray love/hate goes Spotify
I want to hear you out on this, but as an ado fan who's also very heavy into metal stuff, hearing you say that RuLe and Show are awful actually pains me considering those are my favorite songs by her. I def get if its not your typa music, but this whole video just feels like you listened to her music, found the most loved ones that a lot of people enjoy because of her amazing vocal skills and range, then said they suck ass to get engagement. It feels more like rage bait then a review. I think you could've gone about this a lot more and instead of just saying "lmao ados loud vocal songs suck because i hate loud music like this and shes just screeching!!1211@" you could've slowed down and did research on the songs and what they're about, relisten to them, listen to live covers if avaliable (like her show live which is one of my favorites) then rethink and explain why you think its awful! I think a lot of her music is more steered toward louder music genres and fast singing with over the top vocals which is the reason a lot of people enjoy her music, its unique and extremely well made in most if not all cases. also, mirror is not tiktok dance pop, like at all, i do not know where in the living hell you got that bro?? 😭anyways again, going back to RuLe. RuLes instrumental was made by the mainly-vocaloid and rock artist, MARETU who also made songs like Magical Doctor and Mind Brand, he's fairly loved and extremely well known as one of the best artists in vocaloid alongside kikuo and others (probably just my opinion considering im incredibly biased to rock music..), excluding the exact vocaloid brands like hatsune mikus official page and such. I am personally a large fan of his work and he is amazing with instrumentals, i don't know what you found grating to hear so that'd be nice to explain because honestly i feel her and MARETU work really well together on RuLe. Ado, as far as i know, wasn't straining herself on this song at all, in my opinion it sounded really nicely done, but i mean we all have different stances so i guess i just enjoy that type of music more. I recommend watching a few vocal coach reactions to it along with vocal coach reactions to other songs like it to get a better grasp of how difficult it can be for someone to pull something like that off, especially as a young adult. I feel like it'd help you appreciate it a little more and make it easier to listen to!! I don't think tracks like this abuse her voice at all, i feel like it brings her voice out if anything. tracks like this one, Unravel live, Aishite Aishite Aishite, and crime and punishment all have insane high notes that are extremely difficult to get for any regular person and she does them extremely well. For show she does do a LOT of vocal variation in the song, changing her singing a bunch throughout it which could definitely be hard to listen to if you're not well accustomed with her louder music beforehand, and thats very much what it seems like based off your reactions to these tracks, so I'd say you should listen to them a little more and really pay attention to her vocals, i thought it was kind of weird at first too but it definitely grows on you after two or three relistens !! also, i honestly don't think ado is known for her "super smooth" voice, as in most cases, her voice is raw with emotion and not very smooth, but thats the appeal to it!! her debut song, Usseewa, is what shes probably most known for, along with Aishite Aishite Aishite and both use these kinds of really loud really emotion-filled singing thats raspy and raw for parts of the song which is why a lot of people enjoy it!! I'd say that personally RuLe, Show (specifically her live version), Aishite Aishite Aishite (specifically her live version), Unravel (specifically her live version), Tot musica from the one piece red movie, her god-ish cover, and I am a controversy are some of her best songs and i really enjoy her new album!! I totally understand a few of the points you made in this video but i honestly just think those songs might not be your style of song to listen to and i definitely see the appeal to other songs like dignity for people that arent exactly into her other music! i really hope this doesnt come off as hate its just me sharing my opinion as a fan of her & thanks for reading if you decided to!!
its so strange to see a person that doesn't like all of Ado's songs, cause I personally am the opposite and love almost every song of her and her huge variety of her voice and singing styles and so I don't understand how you can give that album just only a 5.5. But i see your point that Ado has a beautiful voice that is shown in Dignity or one of my personal favourites the world continuation.
I like almost every song of ado too, but i dont undertand why "show" is this popular. It was an interesting song but i think some other songs on her album was much better than "show".
@@geluklu Yea show wasn't my type of song that i whould listen to, but Ado has this strange like magic to her songs that when i listen to her songs more often that i don't like i'm starting to like resonate with it and just loving it and never get bored of it, so maybe you should give it a couple more listens or you just don't like that song and thats ok too.😁
I posted this on Discord as well but in case anyone else wanted to chime in on this, I’m posting it here too: I just watched the review and honestly aside from the fact that I like RuLe, I pretty much agree with mostly everything else. Tho I can see why Ado keeps getting wound up in these chaotic all over the place songs because at the end of the day, Usseewa and Odo were some of her biggest hits, so unfortunately even though I like stuff like Himawari, All Night Radio and Rebellion, I can see why songs like that are less common cuz they’re trying to make so many hits like the aforementioned songs and stuff like Show. I think it’s another issue of when you have so many different composers for an artist (as opposed to one dedicated composer) that it’s hard to nail down the type of music that the artist is going for. I feel like yama has run into a similar thing cuz I thought she had found her strive in her first album (the meaning of life) and her second album (Versus the night) is a little different but not jarringly different, but now since 2023 Sony’s been having her going for a more rock vibe while occasionally sprinkling in some of the type of pop she was known for. And because of that some of the last few anime songs she’s been on in 2023 don’t even feel like the producers are using her to the fullest potential (even though I used to love when she did anime songs) as for some of the songs on her third album (Awake and build). Sorry for the tangent but it just kinda felt like a similar thing. Overall tho I think it was a fair review. It’s just when it comes to criticizing these artists people love, people get really defensive. Honestly myself included like if someone shat on Kenshi Yonezu or Fujii Kaze or Vaundy or Official HIGE DANdism or SEKAI NO OWARI or sumika I probably wouldn’t be too happy, but it’s just criticism at the end of the day and everyone has their own tastes
The reason people love Ado is because everyone can find something for themselves in her discography. Her voice is not being "abused", if you look at covers even from before her debut (literally high school) she has always been a bit aggresive with her voice. Hell, that's literally the reason she blew up in the first place (Usseewa), that growl was doing numbers. She sings for fun, when interviewed by Crunchyroll she said she was really excited that she got to sing in so many genres for the One Piece album. So going all "Erm, she shouldn't be doing this and that" is stupid because that is what she wants to do. It doesn't matter what you think fits, the point of her making music is her having fun. As long as she gets the freedom to do that then I don't see a problem with her slipping up sometimes (0's kinda bad, but it can be salvaged), let her goof around.
