She sang this at her live stage 3D debut at 3rd Holofest in March and absolutely blew everyone's mind. It was one of the highest moments from the entire concert.
That live performance is just phenomenal on all aspects. The studio version is good but that took it to another level. The live band is just perfect and Risu killed it. Fans and Hololive talents praised her. Like, "she was basically a Disney princess that burst into a song" and from Suisei herself, "she's like Hololive's Celine Dion."
Fun fact, u can read "Ayunda Risu Hololive Indonesia" If u read every first sentence om the lyrics (A)re my eyes deceiving me (Y)our soul starts to fade (U)nleash your magic to me (N)ow it's time not to worry (D)o believe in me (A) journey we have to see (R)urira rarira (I)ncomplete melody (S)ong with a sweet but yet a sad symphony (U)nwavering spirit that you told me (H)ow can I do it when you are not even here (O)h let me (L)et out the words I could say to you right now I can only tell you a bit (O)verwhelm me with your kindness is a gift that I could never ever trade with anything (L)et the time send this song to your ears (I)hope one day you will sing it to me (V)ersatile melody that I tried to write (E)veryday I would pray in my heart cause I'm reaching the sky (In) a time full of worries No light I could see (DO) you want me to be here? (N)ulling all the emotions you're supposed to feel (E)ven voice l wanna hear (S)halala shalila (I)ncomplete melody (A)rriving in your ears like it's destiny
I always think of that as "I listen you" as the song is about she's wanting to reply to all of risuners but struggling. she wants to say that she's listening to all her fans messages
Risu is amazing. You noticed the two cards near the beginning and wondered whether it had something to do with her names origins, not quite the origin but it refers to the fact that Risu often streams with two different personalities. Which one goes by Ayunda and the other Risu. Ayunda uses a low voice and is what most of this song is sang in, with Risu's higher voice being used right at the end (The lore is that Ayunda is a witch which inhabited Risu's body, which they now share. The cards at the start have a picture of a witch hat for Ayunda and a Squirrel for Risu). That said the lore is not a big thing in her streams, simply that she uses a different voice depending on how she is feeling.
You were actually not wrong about the combination of ideas/two characters, since Ayunda is a witch that to escape prosecution, merged with her squirrel familiar (Squirrel in Japanese is risu). This is all official lore btw. And it is a nice explanation to her voice range, since her high pitch voice is Risu, while her much lower voice is Ayunda. It's a bit similar to how Moona is the Moon Goddess while Hoshinova is the person she blessed.
Ayunda Risu is indeed a squirrel, and she is an amazing singer! It really feels she’s showing her love and appreciate for her fans (Risuners), and I felt that! She never disappoints with her insane vocal range!
@@RoarTheRapper ayunda is a witch persona risu is a squirel persona. Her lore is a witch who try to escape and finding a squirel. She cast spell to inhabitat that squirel. So ayunda merge with risu. Thats the meaning of two cards at the beginning. Ayunda voice ia more deeper and gentle. Risu voice is more squeki and high pitch. In this song ayunda take most of the lyric and risu takes the last bit of the song... That high pitch at last lyric...
She has 2 voice (personality) in her character. Her deep voice : Ayunda And 'cheerful' voice : Risu (last part of the song) +When ayunda change her voice to risu, it made me cry - myfirsttimelisteningtoAlice&u
So which one is her true/real voice you think ? I think her true voice is the deeper one and the higher pitch one is just her dubbing skill (her dubbing skill is insane)
Risu is the most underrated as far as i can tell...Gurenge cover was insane...i like it more than the original. Technique is maybe La+ the new challenger. Towa and Lui are responsible for the lower pitch voices...Lamy embracing her lower pitch more is also quite good. Flare is another underrated. Okayu is the somber voice, as is Mios. Rare that i don't like a song be it original or cover done by the hololive girls. The one i liked least is probably the english Envy Baby from Calli....it is hard to change the language of a song without loosing its message, timing and tone. And Suisei is just Suisei...doing Karaoke in studio quality. Hope Chloe will be alright and back soon...waiting for a cover from her...but family matters take priority anyway.
@@kusogoi Risu's definitely the most underrated, only because she's the least popular among the western audience. If I was making tiers of "talent" though I'd have S Tier: Suisei, Azki, Irys A Tier: Sora, Moona, Risu, Towa B Tier: Kanata, Watame, Mio People often conflate range to skill. Suisei for example (from what I've heard) has a strong 2,6 octave range. Risu surprisingly is 2,4 which is the same as Moona. Risu is just extremely talented at putting on different voices so her range seems a lot wider than it is. Kanata has the largest range with a little over 3 octaves however she doesn't have the control over her entire range like Suisei. Marine for example also has a 3 octave range but that isn't a stable singing range. Lol sorry went on a bit of a rant. There was a channel that actual did an in depth vocal analysis on a lot of the member's range's if you're more interested. I can't for the life of me remember the name. If you search Suisei vocal range I think you'll find it though.
Risu is an incredible singer, honestly beyond words. She’s mostly an unknown still because she was held back a lot by her IRL circumstances in 2021, but she confirmed recently that she’ll be able to work on music a lot more this year, so this is the perfect kicking off point. She went through a lot of emotional turbulence the past year, something she couldn’t share with her fans as much as she wanted (I can only tell you a bit) but she’s always said her fans are her light when she’s at the end of her rope. This was her way of telling us she’s going to be okay.
As for the letter, the second line is in Indonesian, which as you might guess is also her accent/mother tongue. The letter in full says: “You are a part of my life, my journey. You are all precious to Risu. Thank you for all the fun memories.”
@@fuisharu She was never terribly specific on most streams, on one she mentioned it was something to do with her family but beyond that, she's held her cards close. That said, she's been very open about the fact that she's moved and now lives by herself, and said this will allow her to do more of what she wants.
Another funfact: Risu wants to name herself Alice since its a common Fanstasy Protagonist name but she's felt there's already a lot of vTuber named after it, so she's choose Risu.
A little additional information here. Which in Japanese, Alice is pronouced as A-Ri-Su. So she cuts out an A and takes the Ri-Su. btw, this is my first time hearing out her song and story. Thank you :D
I was looking through some reviews of this song because i like this kind of content and once again you're the best out there man. Most of them don't really look into the rhytm and everything that makes Risu a amazing singer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing the work of others and I don't mind the ocasional scream in the middle of the song, but I personally like more your calm vibes and analysis. Keep up the good work ;) and hope you'll react to Kronii's song that should be out next(sadly it got delayed for a while)
Just some extra info: She's Ayunda Risu from Hololive's Indonesian branch. Bahasa Indonesian is her native language, but she also speaks excellent English and Japanese. All three languages were used in this song. The song's rhythm can throw some people off, as it's in a 3/4 time signature with a waltz feel instead of the typical 4/4. Risu has an incredible vocal range spanning several octaves easily. I think the only Hololive member that might have a more impressive range is Amane Kanata from the Japanese branch. Risu is well known for having "two voices": Her "Ayunda" voice - which she uses for most of this song - has a heavy, darker tone. The last ~50 seconds of the song, she uses her "Risu" voice, which has a lighter, airy quality to it.
Waited to finish a watching a few other of your reactions to other members' songs, and all in all, it's just beyond amazing what they do, really. Whether it's certain lines or entire songs, a lot really provides some emotional impact. The more time goes on, I can't help but find their music is incredibly inspiring, and some of it provides much needed motivation in one way or another. Mumei's and Risu's songs being great examples of that imo. Mumei's song feels like it sparks a sense of wanderlust and curiosity to try new things whenever able, pushing through difficult times that may come along the way based in part on how some of the Japanese lyrics are translated. Risu's on the other hand is just mind blowing with the vocals, and you can really feel she put her heart into the lyrics and singing. Also Idk about anyone else, but when listening to it, Risu's song also ends up making me wanna sing along to it whether I'm in the mood for that or not lol. She's got quite the powerful singing voice on display with this.
'Ayunda' is spelled exactly like how it is, similar with Japanese spelling. And yes, she's from Hololive Indonesia like the rest of the girls from previous K/DA cover that you mentioned (minus Calli). These three girls in that song also happened to be the monster singers in their branch (although all of ID are at least decent at singing). Reine is a very versatile singer that eats all genre (also a great rapper), Moona has a beautiful voice with a hidden weapon of powerful western diva-style belting (hopefully she would show it in her next OG song), while Risu has extremely broad voice type, range, and techniques. She also has hidden weapons like her rock-style belting that you mentioned in your last comment, but she very rarely sings and shows it -- partially because of reasons that she tries to express in the middle part of this song. Thankfully just like hopeful notes in the end of this song, she should be able to utilize her beautiful voice more now.
Anya voice so good and feel unique too, she just need more practice u can try her phony cover, it was the best if not as good as suichan phony cover i think.
@@stahncloud4875 While I also do really like her Phony (my most fav is Nijisanji Chima's, but Anya's is probably second), I also consider stuffs like stability and their live performance. Moona eating hardest English diva and disney songs is what she does regularly in unarchived streams, while Risu is the only member who used to only do acapella and eating some of the hardest songs without the support of BGM. Reine usually isn't that flashy, but her singing is still really stable. Anya has improved immensely since debut and has one of the most unique voice in the entire Hololive, but she still has a large room for improvement especially on high notes (try to listen to her extremely rare guerilla karaoke lel). So yeah she has immense talent and Ollie + Iofi also could sing, but they are not really focusing on singing yet (which is fine, not all of them need to)
I will be honest, I knew Risu was a good singer. I knew her voice was great. But when I heard her at the HoloLive 3rd Fest, it felt like something else. I was blown away, and then blown all the way back, and then blown away AGAIN.
Risu, along with Moona and Iofi, is from Hololive Indonesia 1st generation (Ollie, Anya and Reine are ID 2nd gen). As you might have guessed, her answer is in english, bahasa indonesia and japanese She has an amazing vocal range. Like Moona's original, this song is a love letter for her fans
Just discovered this song today, and it's just like the day I discovered Stellar Stellar. I've listened to it at least 20 times today, in the form of the original MV, multiple live performances, karaoke streams, multiple reaction videos like this one, and even watchalong reactions from other Holomems watching her singing live and losing it over her voice. I'm gonna burn myself out on it way too fast but I can't help it.
I hadn’t heard a song like this in a long time. Twenty years ago female idols and idol groups in Japan had two or more of these vocally unique songs in their repertoire. Very few if any made it onto anime sound tracks where most foreigners were exposed to Japanese pop music. Internet radio was popular back then and it was how I was exposed to these beautiful complex vocals that I had only heard from Japan. Some of her fellow Hololive members have expressed how difficult it would be for them to “cover” it. To me it’s nostalgic.
And maybe you wondering why she's changed tone so quickly etc etc. It's probably something from her to show that she had 2 personalities (vtuber image u know what it is) and 2 different vocal.
Risu has one of the best vocal ranges in Hololive. If not the best. Her and Enna from Nijisanji are both ridiculous. Also she's very chaotic and such a treat to watch.
well i can understand from your POV, but on risu's side i think she write this down full with emotions that's why some parts is like she shout, its shouting her feelings that she can only tell us a bit so many unconveyed feelings that she can only shout it out into some words. i'm glad i watch her performance in 3rd hololive festlival concert, she's just stunning, its like she steal the whole stage.
the song describe her worries as a vtuber on early days and how she deals with it. her vocals definitely one of the best in holopro by the way,Moona just released her new original song,high tide. it gonna blow your mind
hi i like your reaction its rare to see the reaction from musician point of view if you think this is awesome, u must hear her perform this Live on stage during Holofest Day 2 just oouple days ago in front full pack stadium and tenth of thousand more online, she went all out and awed everyone present, left many people speechless when they first listening to her, this song is unique to Risu the lyric the behind story, the melody, even her fellow Holosinger praise her and said it is one tricky and difficult song to master. Moona tried to sing it during her 1 mil sub selebration but even ahe struggle with this song
Yeah Risu best Squirrel 🐿️ can sing pretty decent. the cards at 4:33 (Hat) might be her Ayunda side and Squirrel side is Risu, she goes back and forth between them on stream.
@@RoarTheRapper O yea btw this is the translation for Indonesian part 14:25 - you all precious to me (Risu) (Letter 2nd part) 15:40 - thank you for all the attention (attention here is more like kind words, encouragement) I received (Lyrics) Fun fact : Risu can change her voice 9 times while singing Hakujitsu (Clip from her karaoke stream : 'Ayunda x Risu - Hakujitsu' or 'Ayunda Risu DLC voice')
It's blow my mind how can mumei cover have more viewers than this,i really love mumei but this og is better than mumei, risu og definitely top 5 original hololive song,risu voice is amazing like moona but risu is underrated...
4:30 you arent exactly wrong.. That's Ayunda and Risu, She have versatile pitch in her voice, She call the high pitch girl as Risu, and she call the low pitch girl as Ayunda, In this song, she begun to sing as ayunda and later on (15:25) she switch with risu, and in the end (15:57) you will realize both sing together.. PS: its just lore, its a same person, and no she dont have 2 personality, just a character lore..
If you think of each best as being subdivided into 3 everything makes sense. I'm not sure if this qualifies as 6/8, but that's what my instincts want to say. Keep in mind I'm not a musician.
It is 6/8, invoking a fairytale atmosphere in the music, but what it wrapped up is a technically very challenging vocal that, if I remember correctly, not even Suisei dared to try.
I don't think you understand me. I dove into this world; I found out about it when I heard Kiara getting upset when someone complained about her "japanese only streams" early on. How can something suck you in when you already were digging? XD
I recently heard she refused solo concert show offer from the Hololive agency because she wanted to spend more time streaming with her fans instead ? is that true ?
Why Indonesian always underating their own compatriot. This trigger my curiosity as many comments with indonesian name in topic about holoID try to downrating their own people, suggesting other member in middle of nowhere. Sorry if I'm sound rude here, but getting to read this kinda comments more than 20+ really make me wonder. If she from my country, I am for sure really proud of her.
@@addminustraitor8514 it's not like i down rating her or something, rather I'm trying to promote another individual within another individual well you could say i compare her with other. But i can assure you I'm not
@@addminustraitor8514 you're completely right, they act like that. I thought I'm the only one who think that way, not only in hololive or vtuber thing but also everything in general when it's related with their own people or country.
