One of the best singers I heard. So underrated. She can also play violin and piano. Her range is also insane. If you listen to "I catch a cold" she sounds like a kid and then in "pinku no zou" she starts so deep. Her real name is Akiko Yoshida and kokia is her name in reverse like the chorus of the song. Here she is reversing the hiragana and katakana symbols but in "follow the nightingale" she reverses the Roman letters of Japanese words. "matte" becoming "ettam". She also made a song in French to thank her french fans where she used to host a yearly concert. She
i saw her in VIP concert and her particularity is to have an angel voice and a very modular and powerful voice too. I remember wondering myself how something so powerful can come from a SO TINY GIRL !! She compose every song too ! Oh and the song is from Origine (Origin: Spirits of the Past) an japanese animated movie ^^
I've been following her journey for a while now. I love Two daughters by her and her Nageki No Oto is also spectacular. She's got some bangers. You picked the right words Anin, Legendary and Unique.
I loved your reaction. TBH I had the same reaction when I first hear Kokia. Yes, I was there when this video was recorded out of pure luck, my friend brought me to the concert and I was not expecting much out of that tiny asian woman, I was shocked when she started signing. Her vibrato and bass are so powerful you could feel the vibration on the arm rests of the seats of that small theatre. No Joke.
If you want to see the fantasy world she is singing about just watch the anime Origin - Spirit of the past. This song is part of the sountdrack of that anime.
Ojalá en algún punto hayan más reacciones hacía Kokia en youtube, tiene muy muy buenas canciones ☘️, me encantó la reacción, fue increíble ver cómo siente la música 👏
Yo también lo deseo de todo corazón, kokia es sin duda la cantante más infravalorada de todos los tiempos, y sin duda es mi referente a lo que es ser una auténtica y verdadera artista. Una verdadera estrella. 😊❤️
Thank you for react to Kokia, she's an amazing artist, but not very popular. some anime songs are Transparent and KARMA from Requiem For The Phantom | Fate, Omoi and Nageki no oto from Break Blade | Sakura no Ki no Shita and hikari no kata e from Saiyuki Gaiden. The song KARMA is very good.
Nice reaction! And your English is very good! The word for Japanese cartoons is pronounced one of two ways in English: "anim-ay"(like if you combined the words animal and may) or like the Japanese pronunciation: "ah-knee-may." Glad you liked the song~ Edit: If you haven't heard her already, I think you would really enjoy Ali Project from Japan.
that's live but that's linked to one of the japanese traditional singing called "enka" and is you want to try 2 more japanese artist one female and one male try "akiko shikata" with the song "pantalea" (no live version she fear stage) and "Sion" with the song "sorry baby" i think tou better look at the yaon live (2004) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mVfJTBNrxiU.html here is the link!
@@arapaimagold8088 i spoken about enka only to say that it's part of Akiko yoshida ( kokia) technic, i was never speaking of any artist in that style just the tech!
You shouldnt stop mid song, but listen till the end at least once and then return to specific parts which got you interested in particular. When you stop mid tact you lose the consistency, the tempo, progression and the buildup which is being made there
