This was actually performed live and streamed to the Tokyo Jazz Festival, it was initially released with different video footage being much more close up and focused purely on Dimash's face. I watched the original feed. Later on the video was changed to be a combination of the two cameras but with the original audio. So everyone is sort of right, the audio is what was performed live, but the video is an edited version.
@@DrDanRobinson the video was edited, the audio was not, it was Dimash singing live to a backing track of the music. You may find it interesting to read the interview given by composer Nathan Wang, he has worked with renowned artists across the world and worked with Dimash on the OST for the latest Jackie Chan movie, he said that even without any editing, production or auto tune Dimash's natural voice is close to perfect. That he knows instinctively how a song should be performed and he will add or subtract elements from the song as he sees fit.
Debbie is absolutely right, as always 😊. I watched all of this festival and the released footage on this day was different. As I remember the performance needed to be live, but because of the pandemic, they could not invite them anymore. There are 2 other songs from Dimash on the jazz festival a year before. Samaltau and SOS, he casually sits on a chair, while performing. Both are one of my favorite ❤.
I love watching reactors have their preconceived ideas and notions proven wrong. Dimash was clearly on a live mic for this recording which was streamed to the Tokyo Jazz festival.
Air in the voice many times can be a failure in the technique...unless you have a flawless technique and use that air in the voice deliberately to convey a certain emotion. This performance is pure art made out of some sounds, some air and a lot of emotions. It is perfection in emotion conveying
If memory serves, as this had to be recorded in studio because of the pandemic, for the Tokyo Jazz Fesival, two people from the Festval were sent to this studio in China (where Dimash was when the pandemic started and he couldn't leave) to make the recording according to the rules. It, therefore had to be done live in one take. Having multiple cameras is quite obvious. I hope others, more intimately aware of the story behind it, will comment and verify anything of error I may have stated. Thank you Dr. Dan; it has been a pleasure. 😊❤
....so take a good look at his neck and head...... and also listen to him a capella ----- he can sing and that uniquely unlike many who play with technology and can't sing live
Он прекрасно поет в живую. Это так совершенно, что многие не верят побываете на его концерте и вы все поймете. Он поет в живую, поэтому одна и таже песня звучит по разномк
Excellent vocal analysis. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. This performance made me appreciated Dimash even more than I already. Bravo Dimash ❤❤❤❤❤
Dimash's vocal technique is so perfect that I understand when there is doubt! However, this does not mean that Dimash does not sing when necessary, all singers do! But in this video he is singing live, despite being in the studio due to the pandemic. There was editing in the video recording, not the audio. If you look carefully you will see that the posture and imposition of the body and voice is not common when singing with recording. Thanks for the reaction!
This is one of my favorites. I agree that there are aspects to it that make you wonder if the video is of the actual live performance, but it is so compelling and he is so totally invested in the performance both from the visual and vocal perspective, that I find myself concluding that it is what it is not a lip-sync but an actual performance. Perhaps there are certain camera angles that were recorded separately, but the bulk of it looks genuine and this performance is astonishingly good. I have tears in my eyes even now despite hearing it dozens of times. It is just that good. I should add: Thank you for commenting on this song. I don't always agree with you, but I always believe you are genuine in what you say.
@@dkny6432Your translator maybe didn’t translate well what andrew said. He agreed, that this is live. 😊 And the lip-sync-comment was supposed to mean, that he would have to be the best in the world at lip-syncing to be just as perfect as a live performance. (Implying that this is likely live)
@@dkny6432 That's what I was saying. I was agreeing with the original comment that it seemed to be live. I think there must be a language barrier here.
This was a very enjoyable reaction and vocal analysis. "Ikanaide" is one if not the favorite Dimash performance, and it invokes a very visceral response in me, just as "Ave Maria" does. I believe this actually was a live performance, in that Dimash sang "Ikanaide" live for the Tokyo Jazz Festival Live stream in January 2021 as it was being recorded. Someone else pointed out that this was performed from Dimash’s studio in Beijing, where he was going through a month of quarantine before taking part in the “Shine Super Brothers” TV show. Another very enjoyable reaction. This has become one of my favorite Dimash performances, and it invokes a very visceral response in me, just as "Ave Maria" did. I believe this actually was a live performance, in that Dimash sang "Ikanaide" live for the Tokyo Jazz Festival Live stream in January 2021 as it was being recorded. As someone else pointed out, he performed Ikanaide from his studio in Beijing, where he was going through a month of quarantine before participating in the “Shine Super Brothers” TV show. According to several native Japanese speakers, Dimash's pronunciation of the lyrics is nearly flawless. One native speaker, who gave a detailed analysis, stated that he is "expressing Japanese more (better) than Japanese" and that he does not only perfectly pronounce Japanese but "expresses Japanese…with Japanese emotion." Goro Matsui, who wrote the lyrics to "Ikanaide," posted on his Twitter account that he had never heard a foreigner sing in Japanese in such a beautiful way. Tamaki Kōji composed the music and performed the song in 1989. "Ikanaide" became the title song for the Chinese-Japanese TV series "Farewell, Li Xianglan," filmed that year. It is the story of Yoshiko Yamaguchi, a beloved Chinese-born Japanese actress and singer during World War II who hid her Japanese heritage under the name Li XIanglan. Following the war, when the Chinese became aware of her Japanese heritage, she was accused of being a spy and sentenced to death by firing squad for treason and collaboration with the Japanese; she had been involved in the production of Japanese propaganda films. Thanks to the intervention of influential friends, she was cleared of all charges but urged to leave China or risk being lynched. She resettled in Japan, where she would continue to enjoy a successful acting career. In the 1950s, she moved her acting career to Hollywood and Broadway under the name Shirley Yamaguchi but returned to Japan in 1959, retiring from acting. She would go on to become a TV presenter and eventually a politician. She did not return to China for nearly 20 years. In 1990, "Ikanaide" was translated into Cantonese and sung by Jacky Cheung using the same melody. Later, the song was rewritten and translated for Jacky Cheung to Mandarin under the title "Late Autumn." In 2004 the Taiwanese singer Terry Lin adapted the song into a new version titled "In Deep Autumn," with lyrics written by Daryl Yao. Dimash chose the 2004 Taiwanese version arranged by Terry Lin with Mandarin lyrics for his performance at the 2017 "I Am A Singer" competition but gave it his own interpretation and titled it "Autumn Strong." This song went on to earn Dimash the "Best Foreign Singer" award during the Golden Melody Award in Hong Kong.
Thank you for your reaction and commentary honestly it is not that you say something is prerecorded it is that you do so with finality as if there is no doubt before you fully hear the performance. You should at least leave room for your assumptions to be incorrect or not completely correct as you have limited information. From all the interviews they confirmed it was live streamed directly to the Tokyo festival during that pandemic but also recorded with multiple cameras.
Thanks for your reaction ❤ Ikanaide was my second song I heard from Dimash and I was committed for life ❤ Love this song and prefer this over the Chinese version. If you haven't reacted to it yet ( I can't find your reaction on RU-vid) then please react to his rendition of Ave Maria ❤ It is written for Dimash by Igor Krutoy and it is a vocalise 🥰 Simply love his Voice 🤗 Have a great day from a Danish Dear 🇩🇰🥰
If you want to hear more low key performances, then Quaragym-ai, Amanat or Marigolds are perfect. He doesn’t need bells abd whistles to stun the listener.
Great reaction. Thank you. I looooooove Dimash my handsome prince. I love this song. Dimashs music takes me to another world. Can’t get enough of his music.
I miss those days back in 2019 (right before the pandemic got going) when there were quite a few Dear fan-cams on YT so we could watch Dimash singing at various concerts. The reason those fan-cams were so important was that they showed people like me that Dimash CAN and DOES sing live, even some of his more difficult songs. You could tell because in many fan cams, Dimash's phrasing, or the notes he sang, would be somewhat different from the "official" recording. (And maybe in some fan cam clips, he would interrupt a song with another sound or exclamation on the spur of the moment.) So, while we know that D does lipsync performances for various reasons, we also know that he is able to sing live, he does sing live, and he has a phenomenal voice.
👉As a professional, like the other vocal coaches, you should be able to do a spontaneous vocal analysis without hearing the song first. This is also much more interesting for us Dears, as Dimash always surprises. By the way, the video is a 100% live recording checked by experts from the Japanese organizer. Otherwise it would not have been approved. Of course, Dimash also has to sing lipsync. But this is rare because it goes against his attitude that his viewers deserve honest work from him. But since you always have doubts about Dimash's live performances, you should watch recordings of his concerts in Prague and Budapest. I was there and every note is live!!
This version "Ikanaide" (行かないで) ) is the original, from 1989, composed by Koji Tamaki (famous Japanese singer, born in 1958) with lyrics by Goro Matsui. The version "Autumn Strong" (Late Autumn), sung in Chinese, uses the same song, but has another lyrics (Yaqui Cheung, from 1993) and another theme: It talks about the Japanese actress Yoshiko Yamagushi, very dear to the Chinese, who was deported when they discovered her Japanese origin (his real name was Li Xiang Lan and we're talking about World War II, where Japan was China's enemy) and never returned to China. In the original version, the lyrics are more intimate, sentimental and more recognized worldwide. It means: "Please don't go!". For those who want to know the original work, just check this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2j3ab7cu_30.html
I'm sure you've been told in the comments that this was an actual live stream focused on his face, with other cameras set up for later video editing. The vocals in this video is what was originally live streamed in one take. It's so hard for singers to wrap their head around Dimash that the first thing they declare is playback.
Another reactor (several years back) mentioned that certain camera shots would have caught glimpses of the other camera/cameraman if done in one take... but I'm not convinced either way. If the audio was NOT performed in one take, it is some amazing editing. The visual camera work and editing it just amazing. While this is one of my favorite songs (despite it's repetitive "ikanaide") it has to be my all time favorite studio video. This performance is the most perfect musical feat I have seen on YT. It's so incredibly moving. There is not one flaw. I come back to it regularly.
Maybe if it had been anyone else, your assumption might be correct...but this is Dimash. It was live-streamed for the Tokyo Jazz Festival due to COVID-19 restrictions. No worries, it's okay to be wrong from time to time.

From what I understand the sound and the original video was live streamed to the Tokyo Jazz Festival, but this video was chosen by Dimash to put out on RU-vid with the live stream sound track.
Sorry, you are wrong! Clearly the instrumental track was prerecorded, but the voice track itself is as live as live can be. LIVE performance is one of the condition to attend this prestigious Japanese event. Unfortunately at this time Covid was in full march and live performances in front of an audience not possible. So they switched to this compromise, letting the artists at home in their studios, BUT streaming live their vocals.
There are different versions of video takes, but the audio is always the same and untouched. So yes, the video itself has a postproduction before going public. I didn't see the original that was streamed to the Jazz event, but I was told from Japanese acquaintance that that was a one camera shot without artistic movements - just focused on Dimash behind the micro. Like I said before the vocals were produced in the moment of streaming aka live.
@@heinztimmer5453 the initial video was not brilliant, it was totally focused on his face and you could even see the tiny hairs on his cheek it was so close. It was far better when this edited video came out.
This was done live, and I was watching the live performance. But at one place during the recording someone walked in. It really disturbed Dimash, and his facial expression reflected that. So he did correct that part later.
Dimash has many songs in his repertoire that are beautiful and nuanced without all the fireworks. One of my favorites is the live, "unplugged' version of Omir that he does with his brother, Mansur. It is just the two of them, Dimash on piano and Mansur on acoustic guitar. It is so incredibly beautiful and heartfelt. Dimash composed the music and wrote the lyrics, which are a deep retrospective about life and how we navigate it's ups and downs. I think you would really enjoy this song.

Hi!, this is one of my favorite Dimash's songs, and that is so hard to say since we're talking about him. He is unique definitely. As a vocal coah as you are, I guess this song was very interesting to analyze, thanks for doing it. 👏👋
Really adore Dimash for his superb rendition of I-ka-na-i-de.Extremely captivating and mesmerizing.Sure will keep listening to and watching this wonderful video.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks a million for your intimate reaction. Greetings from Thailand.🎉
I really enjoyed your analysis: you know about voice quality but you also have a sense of humor. After what you said, I tried to use that breathy quality voice to sing (but of course, it's so difficult to maintain the tone, it's all about air management technique). In some songs I came to think that this guy has more than three lungs! I've rarely heard him sing in a studio, but the sound quality is so good, I loved it, you can even hear when he breathes. It was a pleasure to listen to him with you, you help us perceive many nuances and techniques, greetings from Argentina!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis and found it both informative and entertaining. Breath management is indeed key to maintaining that breathy quality, and it can be quite challenging. It's always fascinating to hear such control and nuance in a singer's performance.
I know we‘ve been ganging up on you a little in the past, but this time I really enjoyed your analysis. You couldn’t have known that this was live. (Other singers don’t sound this perfect even after many takes - so the mistake is understandable). 😉 And other than that your explanations were interesting. 😊👍🏼
Because of covid Dimash recorded this live in his own studio for the Japanese Jazz festival. Singing in Japanese. Dimash sings this in Chinese when singing in China (Autumn strong) and now singing it in Japanese to the Japanese for His entry into their Jazz festival. (Ikanaide) Amazing.

So he asked Igor to compose an Ave Maria that would transcend all borders and all religions. Dimash's name translated to English is either "God-given" or "Gift from God." Of that I have no doubt.
I believe that some other reactors who are well versed in audio engineering have pointed out that this is a pre-recorded session. That being said, Dimash is such a great performer that it matters not that this isn't purely live. Most viewers and listeners would not notice and couldn't care less. His vocals are stunning, and his physical performance is perfect.
Here we go again. Just stop it. There is editing for the video with some backing tracts to create continuity of presentation. But...if you can not see the body working...then you need to open your eyèvvv5
@@GaryDouglas-lj5bz this was not pre-recorded. The video footage has been edited and added back to the audio because this is different footage than appeared in the livestream but the audio is original from the livestream.
@@skirk9184 Excuse me! You need to learn to read better because I didn't say I personally thought anything one way or the other!! Unlike your misguided assumption, my eyes are wide open, and I couldn't care less how this performance was created---which makes your response completely inappropriate and irrelevant. I simply responded to an inquiry of the reactor with information I have heard from reactors who know more than you or I do about what goes on in recording studios. I indicated it was their opinion, not mine. And since I have seen every single youtube reaction to this performance since the day it was released, I thought the information was pertinent to his inquiry. Apology?
👉 Dimash sang Ikanaide (live and for the first time in Japanese) on the Tokyo Jazz Festival in 2021(in his studio). Because of the pandemic, the annual Tokyo Jazz Festival took place online again. Filmmakers verify that the videos have not been edited and manipulated, so the singer sings live. In 2020 Dimash also participated in the famous annual Tokyo Online Festival with 2 songs: * S.O.S. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WdKYDoqKLP8.html * Samaltau - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cEyLyKW-gWY.html The original song Ikanaide was composed in 1989 by Koji Tamaki (*1958) singer and songwriter, the lyrics come from one of his lyricists Goro Matsui. In the same year, the song was used as the theme song for a Chinese-Japanese television series Farewell, Lixianglan, about the Japanese woman Yoshiko Yamaguchi (*1920 - † 2014) a Chinese-born Japanese actress during World War II. She hid her Japanese heritage under the name Li XIanglan and became famous in China. However, when the war was over and she revealed her identity, she was accused of being a spy. She was deported to Japan and longed for China. Ms. Yamaguchi did not return to China until many years as deputy environment minister in the Japanese parliament. The song is a metaphor as the lyrics speak of how a person should hide what they are feeling. Koji Tamaki sent a wonderful message to Dimash, thanking him, and praising him for singing his song in Japanese. Vbloggers, they reacted to the original by Koji Tamaki, they are mesmerized and can't stop listening to Koji Tamaki. He wrote many wonderful melodies - you should check it out: Koji Tamaki 2021, Ikanaide - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OpgnM2MccCQ.html Dimash's Japan Fan Club asked the famous Japanese author of lyrics of 'Ikanaide' Goro Matsui about his emotions at Dimash performance. It's one of his favorite songs: "… I heard Dimash singing "Ikanaide" by accident. The first thing that impressed me was his crystal clear tone and expressive voice. I heard other Asian artists perform the song many times, but despite their magnificent vocal skills, none seemed to capture the true meaning of the original lyrics. In the chorus of the song, the line "Ah, Ikanaide" is repeated several times. And although these are the same words, each line has a different meaning. And it seems to me that Dimash felt it. " In 1993, Jacky Cheung (*1961, singer and actor in Hongkong) adapted the song into Chinese Mandarin, calling it Late Autumn: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dtM2EsgHD3M.html The Chinese (Autuumn Strong) and Japanese (Ikanaide/ Please, Don’t Go) versions have completely different lyrics and meanings… and of course Dimash sings both very differently: - The Chinese version shows the image of leaves dancing in the autumn wind as a metaphor for the passage of time, a farewell and change...sad but inevitable and irrevocable - The Japanese version does not want to accept the loss of a loved one, is full of pain, begs, suffers... heartbreaking. I'm totally mesmerized by how sensitively Dimash differentiates and conveys to the listener the feelings of sadness and loneliness in the Chinese version and loss and pain in the Japanese version. Even his whispers and his breath are music... it breaks my heart and the tears flow... and at the end everyone suddenly holds their breath, we hear Dimash breathing, then a deep and comforting hum. I've never heard anything like that from other singers in my entire life. Only Dimash can do that.
