First time reaction & Vocal ANALYSIS - Adele - Hello (Cover by Taka from ONE OK ROCK) 

ご両親のDNAを自身で最高に高めたタカ👍

taka makes you feel singing is the easiest thing to do because he is so relaxed when he sings 😂

He got a diamond voice. We can't reach this level no matter how we train I guess. Rare gift from God.

I recommend ONE OK ROCK, the next Ranegades song with piano, there you can analyze more than Taka's voice

この頃のTakaはまだ英語が苦手だったはずです。あまりしゃべれなかった。彼は耳がとても良く、驚異的なスピードで英語を習得したと記事で読んだことがある。 ChrisはTaka自身より彼の歌い方を分かっている気がする。 Takaはたくさんの人に、どうやって歌っているのかを聞かれるが、自分では分からないと言っていた。感覚だと。 英語であろうと日本語であろうと、Takaがカバーした曲は、もはや彼の曲かのように素晴らしく感じるのは、彼の感覚と歌声が直結しているからなのかなと思った。 是非、TakaにこのChrisの分析を見てもらいたい！ いつも素敵な分析ありがとうございます。

You are absolutely right. Taka from One Ok Rock, he is a great singer, he knows his range, his voice, warm, light, christal clear and powerful. Thanks Chris to present him. Another absolutely wonderfl interpretation, which I would like to recommend is from William Singe. Thanks for your wonderful Chanel Chris.

His voice is very soulful...even if he shouts, its still pleasing to the ears❤

ONE OK ROCKのリアクション楽しみにしてます❤🇯🇵👍 Takaの歌を聞いてくださってありがとうございます🙏🏻✨✨

聞いてくれてありがとう♪

I love your analysis!! more one ok rock stuffs please!!😢😢

Taka has a unique style that can’t be copied. No “expert” can even remotely imitate him - as proven by this video.😂

taka poggers. in all seriousness, out of all the live music ive ever listened to. he is genuinely the most talented vocalist i have ever met.

Thank you for responding to our request !

Always love your analyses, Chris. You make it easy to understand for those of us who aren't really knowledgeable about these things. Taka is such a versatile singer, and he makes everything seem so effortless. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on Taka's collaboration cover of Journey's "Open Arms" with Arnel Pineda.

Chris, if you haven’t checked out “One by One” yet, definitely do to hear the aggressive side of Taka’s voice. The live performance is amazing! Also check out “Cry Out” from them as well. Hearing both Taka and Toru scream is jaw dropping

studio version of Renegades by him

Taka's voice is calm and powerful at the same time😅 That's why ONE OK ROCK is a better Rock Band nowadays.

I really enjoyed this reaction and analysis, thank you. Would love to see more Taka/ONE OK ROCK from you.

Thanks for the reaction and analysis! Taka is a versatile singer, his voice can be smooth and raspy. He can sings pop, rock, post hardcore songs, BALLAD, he can even SCREAMS and RAP. His voice is unique too, you can tell it's him whenever you hear his voice! And FYI he was in a Japanese boy band NEWS in 2003, that's surprising right?! I'm glad One Ok Rock guitarist Toru insisted him to join OOR lol Next please check out Taka's old voice (2010-2013 era) on One Ok Rock's songs : Songs with screams : - Liar - Deeper Deeper - No Scared Mid-tempo songs : - C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h. Slow songs : - Be the Light - Heartache (Studio Jam Session version) Songs with rap : - Ending Story?? (but there is no MV) Music videos are available on One Ok Rock RU-vid channel. Thanks!

Always sooo excited whenever your videos' thumbnail with Taka on it suddenly pops up on my yt recommendations. I think, you're by far the vocal coach who's truly give analysis on every single of Taka's vocal techniques. Love the most whenever Taka uses different techniques come after another on each words in single sentence😂 and you need to replay it so many times to make sure we understand❤ Maybe, if you're looking for live performances which more focused on Taka's voice, i recommend *"Your Tears Are Mine"* and *"When They Turn the Lights On"* . Imo, wtttlo is kind of like Queen🤘🏻 Actually, i also wanna hear your opinion of their heavy live performances, like *"Mighty Long Fall" and "Deeper Deeper"* at Yokohama Stadium 2014. I really love their energy and Taka's screams at there🔥

Both of his parents are famous singers. This is also the voice I received from the two of them. His younger brother is also in a band and has the same voice. What a great family!

Try TAKE WHAT YOU WANT LIVE or his cover of EASY ONE ME, more of ONE OK ROCK PLEASEEE

Good reaction and analysis as always! Please react to " ONE OK ROCK - Taking Off [Studio Jam Session] " ! amazing version and vocal agility ~

Yes he worked so hard but definitely DNA got to do with his genius ability of singing for sure ! Both his parents are one of the best singers in Japan.

One ok Rock's TAKA also covers Adele's "easy on me," so please give your reactions!

His english do get better over the years, you can feel his efforts there

TMI His parents are (Shinichi Mori and Masako Mori)legend singers in Japanese music industry. Younger brother (Hiro)is also good singer😃

Taka has another Adele cover: Easy on me. You should check it out, it's very good. :3

Taka One Ok Rock - Renegades (studio piano session) another vibe like this recording :D another amazing one

海外の人達がTAKAの歌声を称賛しているのが同じ日本人としてなんか誇らしい✨

OMG!! FINALLY!! ONE OK ROCK!!! Please react to Take what you want live ambitions tour We are live ambitions tour I was king orchestra Fight the night orchestra

If you haven't you should check out his younger brother's band My First Story and their parents Shinichi and Masako Mori

Now you have to listen to his cover of Adele's Easy On Me!

Take is just amazing

Hiro, Taka's brother and lead singer of his rock band, My First Story, says that since they were kids they played with their families singing. The father would ask "Have you heard the new song?" of those new hits that just came out on the radio and ask them to sing along. He says that he would get angry if they skipped the lyrics and they had to sing it perfectly.

When he hit the high note, I shivered.

Another example as to the myriad of ways Taka embraces his vocals , please check out *one ok rock - cry out AMBITIONS JAPAN DOME TOUR*

Ranegades one ok rock piano version pls🙏🏻

サビ入った時にトリハダが立つのすごく分かります💕

Taka is one of the best rock vocalist. Wherever you are is number one on my list. . His voice is out of this world. Love to see her sing with KZ Tandingan or Morissette Amon of the Philippines

Thank you for another video pointing out the little chirps and yodels. There’s a lot to take from this video. I can’t believe I used to think those things were mistakes to be avoided.

It would be awesome to see your analysis of their heavier music. Their song "One by One" live at Saitama super arena 35xxxv tour is a perfect song to begin with. It's so reminiscent of Chester Bennington it's crazy. He actually did this cover nearly a decade ago and he's gotten so much better. You should check out one of their most recent recordings. For a faster song there's "Vandalize" and a slower song is "Your Tears are Mine", both are from their studio jam session 5. I've also seen you work with Elizabeth from The charismatic voice. I'm dying to see her reaction to Taka.

Don't know whats better. The great music, the deep and professional analysis or your passion on singing... Really awesome. I hope I can also bring about my fitness passion at least half the way you do it. Really fun to watch. ❤🎉

".. Release in and out of notes instead of trying to hit notes.." Great advice Chris !! ❤

Maybe next one you can choose 'Heartache' (studio jam session version) or 'Your tears are mine'(studio jam session version) both are acoustic version

Reminds me of Chester covered this song. So different styles, but both brilliant

🔥🔥🔥

Taka... Amazing voice.. God..

please!Adele 「easy on me」!

His falsetto transitions are just way too smooth 😂 when i try to do it, there's always a noticable cut between my falsetto and regular voice back in the days when i do choir 😂

Honestly, idk how would you call it in prof singing terms, but it must be some of the reasons I’ve beed folowing this band for over a decade now, his voice, or his style of singing is so… dynamic? I’m sure he’s not the only one in the music industry, but he can do it all, sing smooth as butter and hit high note with a voice of an angelic, scream, rap, he can have raspy voice, and make it break emotionally and all that possibly in one song. And he does so much with the melody, like he makes 4 diftent saunds/modifications in onr word. And yeah, he makes it sound effortlessly xd I mean, he has a lot of practice, he was on a training in an entertainment company to debute in a boy band/idol group, when he was 14 I think? It didn’t work out, but then he joined this band when he was 17, and it’s been 18 years in studio and on stage. So a lot of practice xd You can check out ‘Good Goodbye’(acustic, Saitama Station) or ‘Renegades’(piano version) for some more great vocals from Taka, and those videos kinda show how he breaths, if that would be helpful But also I have a question, did you notice that Taka holds his mic extremely close to his mouth? Does anyone else does it like that? I don’t know if I ever noticed any other singers do that. Do you think it helps him, or is that just a quirk? Thanks for those reactions ☺️

you are a fawking legend bro... love your break downs!!!

he's so good with potraying emotion with his singing

You should check out Stand out fit in live in Japan Orchestra Version, Last Dance Japan Dome Tour 2018, and Fight the Night Orchestra Version. There's to many good songs I recommend all of their songs.

Thanks so much for this analysis! I really recommend checking out a japanese singer called TK from ling tosite sigure, I think he's one of the best demonstrations of vulnerability through imperfection and I think you'd have a blast reacting to him. His performance of Unravel on The First Take is a great choice!

👏🙌 Taka ❤

ありがとうございます。Thank you very much Sir.

"Don't try to sound like him, that's pointless" lol😂

funny thing is, Taka said his voice is like the greatest gift his parents could give to him, since their both are talented singer too

Taka is so cool. Please react to gravity next. It's featuring the vocalist of Official Hige Dandism (Another band you should check out btw! They are simply amazing and super great live)

I want you to react to ''clocks strikes '' in one ok rock 2014 mighty long fall at Yokohama stadium'. and ''We are'' in 18Fes NHK Check out following comment after watching ''18 Fes''video please. ``18 Festival (Fes)'' is a one-night-only event where artists and 1,000 18-year-olds perform together. Young people with various worries come together and become one through well-rehearsed performances. ``For the first time, I was able to express myself to my fullest'' ``I couldn't stop crying'' ``This experience is a treasure that will last a lifetime.'' A miraculous stage where the singing voices of 1,000 people and their outpouring of energy will touch your heart.

Taka's English pronunciation when he speaks has some accents, but when he sings his English pronunciation is beautiful. Goes to show that he has very good hearing skills. I mean, he even copied Adele's English accent pretty accurately for this song too.

I don’t want to take away from how awesome Taka is - because this is *awesome*!! But please do a video on Legion by TesseracT. You did War of Being, but Legion is the most diverse their vocals have ever been - as well as being just a really overall diverse vocal performance. You really gotta check it out!!

Maybe you could try reacting another japanese singer called "Yuuri". The way he sing also including beautiful fry skill. Go check "Betelgeuse" on "the first take" channel.

will you ever analyze fabvl chris he is a talented artist he is my favourite artist and he is so special he is a one man band that has the voice of chester mixed with postmalones voice his passionate screams where it can make you cry are so amazing

Hi!ONE OK ROCK updates 2 new live performance videos. Please check them out.🤘I'm waiting for your reaction!!❤

The music video of Mainstream released by a Japanese boy band called BE:FIRST is amazing! So please react to it!

❤❤❤

It is so amazing how you analyze his voice. I just know I love his singing but you explain why he is such an awesome singer. I love how you explain about the different techniques because it is so interesting. His singing of Hello by Adele shows his incredible range and I can listen to him over and over again.

So glad to have found a very technical reaction and analysis. Happy to subscribe! Would love if you could do an analysis of Morisette Amon's "Akin ka Nalang" Wishbus performance. Promise it will blow your mind.

Comment for da algorithm Streak count: 268 Cant wait for the new upcoming scream course!

You should react to when he does smell like teen spirit . Taka can do some magic with his voice ❤

Please.....I recommend one of my favorite Taka singing "regenades" in short video, he wearing black t-shirt and black hat..he nail incridible tone

Please watch clock strikes and good goodbye by one ok rock 😊

You might want to listen to his brother sing. See you again - MY FIRST STORY

Awesome video as always my brother. It would be a great honor if you analyze one of my favorite vocalists of all time, David Phelps. He has a lot of songs here on yt and he is one of my main inspirations to sing. Thanks for what you do brother

ONE　OK　Rock→FIGHT　The　Night　＆　PIERCE Listening　PLEASE❤PLEASE❤PLEASE❤LOVＥYOU💘

Finally

Man says he’s singing in the same key and says it’s gonna be difficult in the chorus …. Takas like ‘hold my beer ‘

なんかこの人の反応見てて気持ちい

On the opposite end of the spectrum vocally, I’d love to see you react to Geoff Castellucci. Literally anything by him, but I could maybe recommend “Sixteen Tons” as a starting point.

歌ってる人の歌詞も、解説っぽい人が、言ってる意味も分からないけれど、歌うまい。

Taka's whole family is talented his brother hiw Father and especially his mother she got pipes.. but Taka and hia Brother are so different 😅

Fun Fact: The band leader Yamashita Toru (guitarist) pretty much stalked Taka at his workplace and came everyday (a cafe i think) to get him into the band. Taka eventually cave in so Toru would stop bothering his workplace 🤣

Oh wow, it's really interesting to hear such a deep analysis of "whys" and "hows". I would recommend to check out a Korean vocal group called Forestella, their covers of Je suis malade, Time in a bottle, or Bohemian rhapsody. I'm curious to hear such an analysis of their techniques too.

Please react & analysis Dimash singing SOS from the Singer, Your Love or Sinful Passion. Thank you. Your mind will be blown...

Pls checkout one ok rock's cover performance e of A thousand Miles...such mesmerizing!!!

Takaの弟、hiroのsee you again。も聞いてほしいな😊

Amazing voice! 👍 Try to check Morissette from Philippines!

☠️🎶🎶🎶🎶

Hey Chris, unrelated to this vid but, you should check out a new song by Tesseract called Legion - amazing vocals on it imo.

you should react to Ado - God-ish cover

evanscence - my immortal

Chris my guy! You gotta do an analysis of Tesseract’s new song, Legion! Awesome vocals

Now you know why we bugged you to watch that lolol btw he has another Adele cover (easy on me)

Pls react to Gigi De Lana’s cover of All i ask by Adele Or her cover of Decode by Paramore

Taka please cover Lady Gagas songs ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY

Hm, interesting. Can Dimash cover this song of Adele?

I would really like you to react to Gabriel Henrique's videos, he is Brazilian and recently participated in AGT. There's a new video on his channel singing Michael Jackson's "Earth song"... We Gabriel fans and Brazilians would be very happy!

when adele glummy takas you tube stoped
