After 13 years, I suppose it's time a westerner commented on this performance. Two words, Jaw Dropping. What a spectacular example of everything coming together. The arrangement, the production, the songcraft, the musicians, and, most of all, Nokko's vocals and performance. I was led to Japanese music by Babymetal, which opened the door to other acts such as Band-Maid, Lovebites, REI, Polkadot Stingray, and others. This led to looking back at Japanese rock music, discovering acts such as Hotei, LosAlios, and Char, eventually coming to Rebecca. My first view of Rebecca was an outdoor performance of Love Passion and this little firecracker of a female vocalist immediately caught my attention. I heard something in her voice and knew this type of performance had to be out there. Something vocally beyond what she was being asked to do in Rebecca, pushing herself to her limits. This performance was exactly that, placing Nokko on my list of top level performers.
