TK and his band are awesome. In his song "Katharsis" (also solo project) is a passage before the key change where he jumps from high notes, to belting, to screaming in seconds. He has incredible control over his voice which makes him also awesome in a live setting. He actually performed another song on The First Take called "copy light" which is arguably even more emotional. I like it even better than the recorded version. Another recommendation would be his solo performance of his bands song "Missing Ling" for his "Acoustique Electrick Session". However, you may get in trouble for copyright for this one but maybe it's fine.
Because you asked about how the music fits into the anime: Unravel is the opening theme of the anime Tokyo Ghoul, a quite dark and depressing show. The main character gets turned into a ghoul. A human eating monster. But he is only half ghoul and thus struggles with keeping his humanity while living with his ghoul side. The lyrics of this song reflect how he tries to push away all who are dear to him bc he is afraid he will hurt them. The world puts him through immense and gruesome trials until he almost looses himself. In the end he unravels everything he was holding back and finally accepts who he is.
I love the first take version because I can feel the emotion more with the way it was shot on the first take and the acoustic feel to it. Nearly cried watching this.
Andy, I was so happy when I saw that you reacted to TK - Unravel. I love this song and also Tokyo Ghoul, I think the lyrics and the emotion of the song exactly reflect the story of the anime. Thank you very much for your wonderful reactions! Saludos.
An amazing song filled with emotions, sang by an even more amazing artist making it justice. The talent is off the charts all around, simply WOW. Another song from The First Take that I would recommend you Andy (and anyone who sees this) is "Saikai" by LiSAxUru. I think we all already know how incredible LiSA's voice is, but Uru might come as a surprise to you! Thanks for these reactions, love every single one of them. Abrazo grande!❤
Que emocionante verlo reacionar a la genialidad de TK... Gracias por esto maestro, ojala pudiera reaccionar también a Avu-chan de la banda Queen Bee (Ziyoou-vachi)
The perfect thing about this song is that every word matches the lead anime character where it's from. Tokyo Ghoul is amazing, and when he sings it, we can feel it.
To me, the song speaks so heavily on someone who is forced to deal with the hardest pains of living yet he doesn't want to ruin anything or anyone around him. He knows he only hurts and ruins things so he pushes them away with saying don't look at me, don't come find me. The world has taken its toll on this person to such an extent he is no longer what he used to be. This just parallels the MC's journey as he to was dealt a terrible hand and instead of going with it he accepted it and pushed all of his friends away to cope with it becoming way different than his normal self. I honestly relate to this song so heavily as have I had to deal with so many terrible hardships and things that have changed me from who I used to be. Its hard for me to find the same happiness or love in things I used to. I have become bitter and overall angry with the world. I also push my family and friends away as far as I can from the one true me. I am scared to be alone but I isolate. Its a very weird feeling. I just want people to remember me as I used to be. Not who I am now. Love your videos btw :) cheers
But you have to know that your value to the people who love you are not on the memories you offered them only, being present is also important you don't have to do anything for them, but your presence itself is very valuable, and I'm talking from the point of view of someone who had the same problem and still fighting these thoughts, I have these days where I really can't do it and the day blazes through while I'm stuck in that fram of mind battling my depression and dissatisfaction of everything I used to find enjoyable, but I always try to get out and create these moments and memories for my family's sake, since it's not their fault I've become like this. Even if they were a big part of the reason, they ultimately don't know just how much their actions which they consider as normal could determine somebody's self worth and, their negligence is going to be the cause of tragedies for an abuser and the victim .. I know nothing I've said makes sense but, at least listen to me in this regard , you have to try your best to have quality time with your family since when you grow older and they are gone or you can't even visit them for some reason or the other, you won't have as much regret in your heart.
La reacción del profe fue la misma que la mía 😅 vaya voz tiene este cantante 👌 Profe siga reaccionando videos de The First Take, si es posible los videos con más vistas. Es un buen canal ❤🙌
Me gusta este canal porque se nota su pasión por la música. Realmente disfruta con cada canción y cada análisis. La próxima vez debería reaccionar a Queen Be.
Wow! I'm rushing to The First Take for this version, as I haven't seen it. The lyrics and what's happening in the anime when this song plays is so accurate, so lost, so much emptiness, as you mentioned during the reaction. The passion and the sentiment is there, the feeling of loss and emptiness is there.
Lovely! You should also react to Copy Light, another performance by TK on THE FIRST TAKE. He also plays guitar and a great solo in that performance, with even more passion than in this one.
There isn't an opening theme of ANY show that pairs with the show itself any better. It was one of my favorite shows the first time I watched it, but I make no exaggeration in saying the theme song and listening to it for so many years has pulled me back into watching the show over and over and has made it possibly my favorite show of all time. It's certainly the show I have watched the most without question. I listen to the song by itself and I can just picture Ken Kaneki (the protagonist) and the things that happens in the show popping back into my mind like a literal flash back that they show in every movie or show that has ever been made. Great response. I love seeing others appreciate something that I have loved for many years.
Hi Andy, it is a pleasure, to have your channel on my Notifications, because I enjoy everything on your channel, and you are so fun and loving towards us your fans. This is one of the reasons why I love ANIME.
OH MY GOD! I was so excited to see that you have done this video. Right away I dropped everything I was doing to come and watch. I loved your reactions. It was perfect. Thanx 💋
Hey man, I stumbled upon your video here and you're doing a great reaction on his performance here👍. If you're looking for more emo ballad where you get to enjoy his dynamic performance like this, check out the live performance to his other song "Missing Ling" w. his original band. You'll be absolutely thrilled by it, I promise you😆
Idk if anyone mentioned this, but this is the version of the song that they play the last episode of at least two of the seasons! It’s my favorite version of the song!
I love this song and this version especially. Another great reaction video, I love your passion. I've seen your LiSA reactions and I'll think you would like this one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-impSuIygMiQ.html One is fire the other water but both powerful. Enjoy your day and take care
New Subscriber here. Would like to recommend a much newer singer then all these bigger names like Lisa, Aimer, Yoasobi or TK. Although Aimer is still one of my favorite singer of all time. (Ninelie, Polaris, Words) Her name is "Minami - Crying for rain" Love wat you are doing! I think is a good feeling when an experience individual likes and comments on our favorite idols. Music Transcends Language.
One very special First Take guest comes to mind with fantastic voice control and a powerful instrument. Their first ever Vtuber visit. Two words. Or... Rather... The same word repeated twice. Stellar Stellar. Don't even have to do a reaction. Just... Enjoy.
Hello Andy, I just found your channel. I watched a bunch of your First take reactions and I have a request for you. Please react to BABYMETAL - Monochrome piano version on the first take. If you haven't heard of BABYMETAL they are a Japanese girl metal band and they have been around for about 13 years. But I assure you they are not your average metal band. They invented their own genre called "Kawaii Metal", literally cute metal. Don't let that throw you off though, the piano version is not metal at all but is very soft and heartfelt. The song Monochrome is quite an emotional song for me, especially the piano version. If you listen to the original version first, please record that reaction also. You could release both versions or do it as a double header! as both version are VERY different. Suzuka, the lead singer is from Hiroshima and her ancestors were survivors of the atom bombing. The song itself is believed to be about that bombing, as when the nuclear bomb went off it turned the sky monochrome.. The song does have a sad feel to it, but it's more a message of hope and positivity. Thank you, I really hope you check it out!
Hello!! Love your reactions to The First Take. Highly recommend CHANMINA’s Bijin. Also in Tokyo Ghoul: MC Kaneki Ken is a quiet boy, and is somewhat of a pacifist. He is in an accident and is turned into a half ghoul, and in a world where ghouls and humans are enemies, he is forced question his place in the world. The extended version of this song also plays durning the scene in which Kaneki’s best friend, Hide, reveals that he knew about Kaneki’s ghoul nature. Hide overheard the CCG (ghoul hunters/police) planning attack on group of ghouls who took Kaneki in (they are peaceful), and Hide went to look for Kaneki, and found him unconscious and injured. Hide dragged Kaneki to safety and tells him how he knew the whole time, and that Kaneki was still just his childhood best friend. It’s then revealed Hide was wounded in the cross fire (it is implied that CCG shot him) and he bleeds out in Kaneki’s arms. The song plays as Kaneki carries Hide towards the CCG, choosing to fight them, knowing he will likely lose.
Hi Andy have you seen Cakra Khan from indonesia in agt? although he didn't get gb but he already won audiences heart all the world, his raspy, unique ,soulful voice so unbelievable, please react, thanks
Found you randomly in my recommended. Saw your Homura, then Zankyosanka videos and loved them. I was just thinking if you saw TK yet, and low and behold, it's right here! 😹 Subbed :D Anime opening and ending songs are pretty amazing. Edit! Third opening song to Demon Slayer with Man on a Mission x millet is dope. Man on a Mission's Golden Kamui first opening is also dope. OH! And More Aimer would be season 2 Demon Slayer's ending song, as well as the Fate Stay Night series songs. Her and LIsa both 😺
I love your videos Andy, my favourites are your reactions to Gabriel Henrique! I've rewatched them numerous times. I would love to see you reacting to this sublime live performance by English singer Leona Lewis covering The first time I ever saw your face (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tEGFuXGHMdY.html). Although this is a 15 year old performance, I can never forget it 😊
ojala sepas leer en español un poco pero te admiro :3 coach me agrada bastante tus reacciones a pesar de que entiendo muchas cosas no entiendo muchas cosas en ingles pero siempre he admirado aquella persona que tiene buen oido como tu gracias por esta reaccion me gustaria ver tu cara con una cancion de snk the rumbling para ver como te parece o de kimetsu no yaiba su openings son hermosos
Aprecio mucho tu comentario. Utilizo aplicaciones de traducción para leer y responder, ¡pero siempre me entusiasma la buena música! ¡Es una ventaja para mí cuando está en otro idioma que no sea el mío! Disfruto aprendiendo.
After watching this video for the fifth time, I realized you might not know what the anime was about. So to simplify it it’s about a human boy who receives an organ transplant from a ghoul. The whole anime is about him fighting his new need to eat human flesh. Now I promise this doesn’t spoil anything. There’s so much more to the story but it explains why the song goes up and down. It’s the duality. HUMAN vs GHOUL.
Unravel is iconic and classic and I love it, but I personally prefer Katharsis a little bit more. I think it’s more emotional and you can really feel the pain.
@master of voice you should listen to liSa crossing fields music video I’m sure you’d like it btw thanks for the like❤️ I just found your channel from the tk first take video absolutely love your insights
