LiSA - Homura ( 炎 ) from Demon Slayer - Vocal Coach & Professional Singer Reaction - The First Take 

Spoilers: I cried

Her technique is far different than others. Its called "total concentration breathing, "

“Set your heart ablaze” -Rengoku Rengoku, you will forever be my hero

Most of us anime watchers dont speak japanese but we can all agree japanese songs are very powerful in emotion and give us goosebump everytime

"Even if you're devastated by your weakness or uselessness, Set your heart ablaze" - Rengoku kyojoro

LiSA's song "Homura" has won the grand prize, the "Japan Record Award," at the '62nd Japan Record Awards.'

Anyone who risks their lives fighting demons to protect humans... is a rightful member of Demon Slayer Corps no matter what anyone else says *-Rengoku*

The thing about LiSA is that she always sings for your favorite anime

Japanese singer are always expressive and thats what makes them great but Lisa is especially amazing in expressing this emotion. When Lisa started i got goosebumps on my whole body.. She is just too remarkable

I've never heard this song. Never heard of her. Never heard of the Anime. I bawled my fucking eyes out. This was beautiful. Thank you for introducing me to something that I would otherwise have never found

You are not crying, WE ALL ARE CRYING TT_TT

"I don't wanna be overreacting" oh honey, it's absolutely fine. I completely understand. The first time I heard (and read the lyrics along) Homura, I cried too. I sobbed. And then I saw how LiSA got emotional in the acoustic version, I cried again

Let's admit japanese songs have the most beautiful lyrics. It's hard to find in other songs

You will feel even sadder when watching the Demon Slayer Movie

言語が異なって歌詞の意味が分からなくても、世界の人の心に伝わるほどの感情を歌声に込める事ができるのが凄い。

日本人です。 アニメの内容に沿ったものとはいえ、日本語の歌詞、しかも比喩も多くて死生観も日本のものだと思うのですが、 英語圏の方にも伝わるものなんだなと驚きました。 音楽に国境はないし、Lisaの歌の力は素晴らしいんだなと感動しました。動画ありがとうございました。

Well, the thing is that, even when you haven't seen the movie, she can transfer all the flow of emotions in a few words over a song... But, if you have already seen the movie, this song hits pretty much harder... This is what makes LISA one of the most amazings singers of all time...

This song was dedicated to Rengoku san, one of the character in Demon Slayer.

I cry almost everytime I sing this song... for my luck or not I can speak and understand fluent japanese and the lyrics speaks to me in a different level. If you liked Lisa you should check out Yoasobi. Ikuta Lila's voice is just amazing, She, Lisa and the corean singer IU are my absolutely favorites

Hello, Katriinka. What catch my attention is her breathing. The way she gasp air resembles like she is "crying", and the reality is that she is holding her emotions, not to cry and ruin the song. At the end of the song, she releases it. And yes, as a man, she got me... I let my tears roll down. 😅

Saw Mugen Train yesterday and I cried 😭

The tension she's giving matches the MV of the anime.. ♥

"Growing old and dying is what gives meaning and beauty to the fleeting span of a human life" -Rengoku Kyojuro

It's one of those songs where you don't have to understand what is being said to understand and feel the emotion behind it. She is an absolutely stunning and amazing singer.

You should watch the anime then you will be truly in tears😭

This song is so emotional, and Lisa is also very skilled. This one also from Lisa but she didn't do it alone, and this song is also very good. Please react to Lisa x Uru / Saikai

You can see that she is just natural in her element despite being so difficult what she is doing, she seems to be in the zone since the very begining and takes you with her into her world.

She's hands-down , for me , one of the best singers earth has ever seen so far. I really love her.

音楽が世界共通の言語だということが凄くわかりました。 言葉じゃなくてもすごく響いているのが良く伝わりました。

12:53 look at her hands shaking with how emotional she's feeling

Emotional song, it’s sometime break the language barriers and shakes hearts.

i cried like someone died i didn't expect that because i saw it in the anime before

Unlasting Not Going to lie is THE Best song from LiSA

A cry baby, sounds like a badge of honor to me, tells me you are able to feel what the artist is trying to convey, never be ashamed of crying when the music moves, love your reactions and analysis, keep them coming

I cry everytime I see this vid. Her voice is ridiculously beautiful and it just evokes that emotion for some reason. She is incredible.

For crying out loud, someone go and give LiSA a hug and tell her it's all gonna be okay!

O my heart. So hard. Very emotional performance of lisa and react of yours. Just want to hug both of you. Why im getting emotional too. " you just have to keep on living no matter how hard it gets" english trans. Heavy. Feel her. Thank u for your emotional and insightful analysis, it's ok to be vulnerable were just humans. Love this channel

Oh man you can hear the emotions and pain in her voice, hard to NOT cry with a performance like this.

Honestly, I’ve watched animes JUST bc LiSA wrote/sang their opening and/or closing piece/s… I literally went to see mugen train in theaters JUST to hear this song on theater speakers 😭😭😭 This song gives me chills every single time I listen to it and hearing/seeing someone else who understands and appreciates everything she’s doing with her voice and with the lyrics and just the music in general as much as - if not more than - I do is something that’s really amazing and interesting for me to see. Thank you for sharing your reaction to this song (and to this version specifically) and spreading awareness of this amazing artist and her music.

her voice and expression gives me goosebumps every single time...

standing up after the movie ended while this song played in the background was so heartbreaking

ReoNa's THE FIRST TAKE 'Niji no Kanata ni' and 'ANIMA' are both Amazing too

these first take episodes of LiSA, i watched it alot of times already and i still cried over and over again. her voice is a blessing, her songs are blessings. they're just too good so good

9:50 This always gives me goosebumps omg 💛

誰か訳してくれ～。 数あるボーカルコーチのコメントを観て来たがこの人のコメントには(意味は解って無いんだが)伝わるモノがあって初めてシビレて、泣けた。

i can't listen to this song without crying

Lisa is one of my favorite singers and I’m so happy that more people are appreciating her talent 🥰 she’s so incredible. I’ll admit that this video also made me tear up

I wish I could like this a thousand times over. I love this song, and Lisa breathes so much life into it.

Lisa always gives her best performance

This movie set my heart ablaze. LISA did the most amazing job and perfectly created the emotion needed for this song. She's incredible and very passionate when she sings.

OMG, my throat hurts so much to keep my self from crying. This reaction and that lyrics which I didn't knew is possible to be enabled before and watching this video of Lisa all over again is a completely different and emotional experience. I know the song is great just basing it from it's melody but actually understanding it and connecting it to the performance of Lisa made a strong connection in me that makes me want to break in tears. Holding up your emotions, experiencing grief and doing your best to move on... this is the longest comment I made since I've been watching youtube from day 1 but it just feels so good to express this things. Thanks for this video.

I really like this version of homura. No matter how many I rewatch this again, i kept getting goosebumps, endlessly.

We all cried to it, especially when it played at the end of the Demon Slayer Movie

This song is just one example of why I call LiSa the goddess of song cause of her crazy and angelic voice

I'm so glad someone sees her like I do. She's an amazing, extremely talented human being. ❤ Great review. Thank you!

I, honestly, truly enjoyed your video, and so much. When I first watched "Homura" by LiSA on First Take, I cried like you did. The emotions she put into her words, her singing, are incredible. And what you said in your video, "if music help you, that's great. But if you are able to help others through your music, it's absolutely unique gift", I felt that. And many people, artists, are doing it. I'm so thankful that music exist. Thank you so much for your video, I wish you the best

she's so incredible, she's a singer and an artist with her entire heart and soul and she touches so many with her music. i love her so much ❤️

(Spoiler) People said that Homura song is a gift for our hero Rengoku Kyojuro. And that’s make sense for all of us to cry when hearing this song. Rengoku is our hero. Gone but never forgotten, Rengoku Kyojuro. Hope you rest in peace our hero

It touch the soul 🙇‍♀️ I looove these moments were artists get emotional. I feel like I can connect with them and it magnifies the song. Thanks you so much

I cries the first time I watched this performance. Lisa is so talented! I love her so much. I loved your reaction to her sooo much❤

One thing about LiSA -> She is amazing and incredible. That song is heartbreaking ! I’m not crying . You are.

Homura is an emotional song and Lisa kills it so perfectly and flawles,she is a great performer and this is a great reaction Katrinka. Check out also another Japanese female singer and songwriter Aimer, I'm sure you'll like her.

I was crying with both of you too😭💗love her voice

That fact you cried, it's so cool as well. Like so talented and as a vocal coach and professional singer, this is really impressive to you

As someone who has followed LiSA's career for the last few years now (originally heard her many years prior however in Anime, always loved her songs in the openings/endings) this has got to be my absolute favorite performance by her. It's my favorite performance of any musician honestly, it never ceases to take my breath away, and every time I hear it I always end up misty eyed (the first time I heard it I literally sobbed). Back in 2015 she had an interview about her Budokan Live Performance, she talked about how she finally felt she could sing naturally as she had issues with singing Ballad style songs previously. Through the encouragement of her fans she sang the song Shirushi at that said performance and dedicated it to her fans "As I can sing naturally at last, I want to send a ballad to my fans". Since then I've seen her grow so much as an artist and what was once something very rare for her has now become one of her greatest strengths. There's a reason why she's one of Japan's biggest and have been featured in so much media (Homura being a song from the massive Demon Slayer: Mugen Train film). I'd highly recommend Shirushi, in a way it's the very catalyst that gave her the strength to give us such an incredible performance.

Music is the pathway to true emotions. There are many songs that have moved me.

I have a fan of Lisa and her incredible voice for years and discovered this video as a suggestion from YT after watching (again) her "Homura" performance for The First Take. I immediately subscribed to your channel. You was describing exactly what I feel every single time I listen to this song. Isn't it crazy how a song can make you emotional even without understanding the lyrics? Great video and thank you for putting all those feelings into words! It means a lot for someone like me that may be considered by others a very cold person. It is just that I don't know how to express my feelings and emotions :)

Her voice and the way she sings are amazing, emotional, & give us goosebumps even if we dont understand any word she speak... Awesome ❤️❤️ LEGENDARY

hellooo~ i love your reactions to japanese singers, im a fan of j-rock and j-pop

when you've watched the movie, then every line in the lyric would cranked up the feel by x100.

my God, LiSA is my favorite singer. She es really amazing.

I've heard it over 200 times and still cry every time. A beautiful tribute worthy of Rengoku-san's sacrifice

my heart..this song..lisa is incredible

This is so beautiful to see you connected with her thru music.

You were moved to tears just like i was moved to tears, especially at the end. It was so raw, she put so much emotion into it that she drew us into her inner space. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

she brought chills down my body no lie, this was amazing

Each times I hear Lisa's voice, that give me chills. (Her voice is juste so impressive and carry lot of emotions)

thank you for your honest reaction and expertly analysis, katriinka. I agree 100% with what you said about her and want to add: she really has class and style. and also a beautiful personality. this song makes me cry almost everytime I listen to it too. my favourite japanese bands have just made songs for an anime: wagakki band for anime "mars red", songs name is "mars red", eight musicians who mix traditional japanese instruments and modern instruments. bandleader yuko is an awesome singer too. lovebites for the anime "Vladlove", the song is called "winds of transylvania". all female band, probably the best metalband on the planet right now.

A LiSA song I like that always makes me tear up when I see the specific performance is her singing Ichiban no Takaramono.

this is such as good reaction video, you have the video you're reacting to up the whole time, you explained what she's doing, how she's doing it, why she's good, why you're impressed, and most importantly, you talked slowly and clearly and got the whole message across, instead of just "omg" "wtf" "laughing really loud" etc. Much better than some other reaction videos I've watched tonight. Good job, keep up the hard work!

Finally you reacted to Homura! I'm literally crying when I first heard the song! Lisa really portrayed the emotions well! I have high respect for her. When the movie was already so sad then the soundtrack was added. I'm depressed

I was waitinf so much for this!!! I also cry with this song, you could really feel the emotions there. I love Lisa so much, I love your reactions to her too!!!

I already watched that video a million times and I'm still crying 😢😭🤧

I totally agree with you... she is blessed with her voice

GRacias por traer a LISA, para mi es una de las cantantes mas actuales de japon, bella, y una voz hermosa melodica, que puede cantar desde baladas hasta rock y tan agradable. Thank you for bringing LISA, for me she is one of the most current singers in Japan, beautiful, and a beautiful melodic voice, who can sing from ballads to rock and so nice.

This is so good that it gives me goosebumps

I remember watching this movie. One thing, when this song came on. The scene the lyrics just hit different. I cried like a baby. Water works wouldn't stop. Just kept going. My friend and I just understood and hugged it out. Nothing was said. What a wonderful reaction.

i just love her! the voice and shes even so pretty! but the voice! nonstop chills and wanna cry even

Realising people cry just from listening the song, boooy am I scared to watch the movie

"man, the feels" Oh god, this song sounds like this in a studio. But imagine listening to this song at the end of a film that just destroyed your feels and realize it's a song for that character.

Very few singers can really immerse themselves in their own songs. She is one of them

This song quickly became my favorite despite the fact that I had already enjoyed the series. I thought I was ready….but this smacked me across the face in the middle of the movie theater. It has really helped me to deal with the grief I’ve acquired from losing my own mother and a significant other suddenly in a few months. This song, to me, is one of few that truly encapsulates overwhelming grief and hope at the same time. Thank you for your analysis! I’m subscribing right now

I ended up in tears because the tone 😭, she is so good

I cry before i watch mugen train, now after I watch the movie damn its hit you harder I barely cant stop my tears

I literally got goosebumps when she starts saying sayonara

I have watched the movie/anime and I have finished the manga. But I didn't know/recognised this song but when she started, I literally gasped and now i'm already crying

Your tears are so beautiful. Lisa wrote this work with various thoughts, but I think you will be impressed.

Cómo no llorar cuando te acarician el alma? Imposible.

She has such a wonderful warmth to her voice when she sings.

i cryed listening to it her voice is amazing also evryime i listen to it it brings me back to the movie and i cryed harder never been more attached to something in my life but this hit so hard..
