Vocal Coach & Songwriter React to Takahiro Moriuchi (Taka) of One Ok Rock - Hello | Blind Reaction 

I want to recommend a lot of songs of ONE OK ROCK : I was King ( orchestra version), Renegades, Save yourself… You can figure out how great Taka’s vocal is at their concert.

We Are live japan dome tour!

for such a tiny little guy he's really got a lot of power

Glad you guys came back to Taka/OOR so soon. Taka's parents are both famous folk singers in Japan so he's definitely got some pretty good DNA in his veins, but he certainly worked hard to get where he's at now. At the beginning of his career, a lot of people scorned him for what they perceived as riding on his father's coattail, but that only motivated him to prove them wrong and distinguish himself. OOR doesn't do songs for anime series, for example, which is arguably the easiest way to get fans in the west, because they want to make become known through their skills rather than as "that group that sang that anime song." I respect them for not taking shortcuts. Looking forward to your next OOR reaction! Can't go wrong with any of their songs.

While I’m at it . . We are . Live Cry out live Fight the night orchestra version Clock strikes live Stand out fit in live Wasted nights live Vandalise studio jam sessions Taking off studio sessions Have at it boys 💪🏼

You definitely would love other cover song by Taka too. another song cover by Taka is EASY ON ME - ADELE

TAKA was born to parents who are very famous singers in Japan. In my layman's opinion, I think he got the husky voice from his father and the crystalline voice from his mother. His parents are still active as singers. I heard that TAKA's English learning is mostly self-taught and not specially trained.😊 I think this video is about 8 years old, so I think his English is better now.

Wow! Original key!! What ａ beautiful voice!! His vocal range is amazing♥️♥️

A channel that actually listens to its subscribers 🙏🏼

Wonderful! Thank you for covering this. I left Japan 30 years ago, so imagine my surprise when I discovered the band a year ago and then found out his parents are both veteran superstar singers in Japan that I grew up listening to! 🤯

His voice 🔥

All of One OK Rock’s live performances are unbelievably crazy! “We Are”, “Clock Strikes” and “Mighty Long Fall” are some other great lives to check out. (^~^) 💕🦋

Yay that’s quick. I highly recommend you to hear him in some heavy performances. “The Beginning” in Eye of the Storm tour or “Deeper Deeper” In Yokohama Stadium. The band is very good live.

Thank you for your video. Easy on my cover by Taka is amazing too.

I love Taka's voice discovered him during the Pandemic and just love everything about this band.

タカお父さんは日本でも非常に人気のある歌手でした 彼の名前は森進一で、彼の母親も歌手の正子だった。弟のhiroもmy first storyというバンドをやっています。家族全員が歌手

Your next reaction needs to be "The Beginning" live at Yokohama stadium mighty long fall tour. It's actually their most popular song. You'll get to see how energetic Taka is, and how he interacts with the crowd.

Thank u so much your review was awesome, they do so many great songs, they have a song called "we are" they do in a rock concert but they also do it with 10 thousand 18 year Olds that do harmony its called "we are" (18) for the first 4 or 5 minutes there is a narrative in Japanese then they musing. It's is so beautiful the first time I heard it I cried and u can tell the band loved it

Yes definitely check out Taka’s cover of Adele’s Easy On Me. UNBELIEVABLE! ❤

Actually it's called (18) one ok rock "we are" l 18fes l NHK and they start to sang about 4 minutes in

Quickly, ONE OK ROCK's next reaction🤩 I am very happy!! Thank you!! ONE OK ROCK has a wide range of songs, from intense rock songs to sweet ballads, and all of them move us✨ I love all of their songs, so I am not sure what song to recommend, but I am sure I will get many requests from fans, so please discover more of their charms🤗 *Very cute cat!!😻You were on your lap looking at the screen together🥰 I would love to see the cat again💗 Of course I subscribed to your channel👍 ありがとう🙏

Oh Taka´s amazing voice!!! Yes, how can we not be jealous of his amazing beautiful gift and talent.

More one ok rock pls!! ❤❤

Great reaction ! I saw them in Paris in July and they are incredible. Taka's voice live is so powerful and emotional at the same time❤

Hi!Thank you for your reaction of their music. They finally released new song. Music Video will out on 29th Aug. I'll wait for your reaction.

YESS!! Love how you guys describe Taka's voice! Maybe you wanna listen to their cover of Easy On Me -Adele. OOR made it sounds more rock with their style. I'd love to hear your opinion on both Taka's vocal and their music arrangements. Honestly, I love it more than the original lol, just my taste😂 they released it on Apple Music, and there's a fanmade video on RU-vid which contains recaps of OOR world tours. Oh don't forget to listen to the original Adele version first before, so you can tell the differences! Keep going and thank you!! Waiting for more OOR reviews in the future!

Така один из лучших певцов мира. Слушаю их с 2011 и всегда их песни на первом месте в моём плейлисте.

I can't wait to do the next "OOR" reaction! ! waiting!

Ohoo!! I'm glad that you listen to this cover song cuz I believe this is the one which tells you Taka's vocal skill. (At that time, "Take what you want" which you reacted last time, Taka was kind of sick) I would like to recommend: Taka's high note→Your tears are mine Taka's long tone→Clock Strikes OOR's great live perform w/autdience →We are

Thank you for let me discover this amazing group!!!

Check out: Your tears are mine (Jam session)!

Where ever you are is my favorite song and I love Taka’s vocals in that song. You will love how it’s usually just him and the piano. The Japanese audience knows when to be so quiet and then when to be so loud. Your Kitty will love it. My cats Bella and Loki love it when it plays every time!

They just released a new song 11 hours ago btw. (Make it out alive) banger!

Please react to Adele’s “easy on me” cover version by Taka🙏

He comes from a family of singers if you’re interested you should look up his parents and brother. They are also singers. I love We Are either live Japan Dome Tour or 18 fest( they played at a festival supporting the youth when they changed the voting age from 21 down to 18)

Thank you for reacting to decade old long cover. Taka is absolutely brilliant as aa vocalist and his band members are exceptional too. Hope you will react to their live performance of We Are

THANK YOU😆💕✨🙏🇯🇵

Another Adele song covered by Taka and oor is Easy On Me. I think it’s even better. You should check this out.

聞いてくださってありがとう😂❤

Thanks for your reactions❤

for some of their heavier stuff, please check out ONE OK ROCK - 3xxxv5 Take Me To The Top LIVE specifically the one with green haired Taka(vocalist)

Taka is amazing, love him. Please check out more of them ❤

WE ARE Live 2018 IS a good one, There is a lot of good songs by this band, I LOVE THE NEW SONG NEON the live version but that hasnt been released yet on youtube i think.

I want you guys to listen Your tears are mine. I love it❤

my favourites by far from OOR are We are, Hearthache, and Stand Out Fit In. Thanks for reacting and analysing OOR.

Recommend to check out the studio jam versions, especially taking off ! so versatile and amazingly done!

We are 18 fest version!

I am beyond happy that you guys discover them. Lookibg forward to more One Ok Rock reactions ❤

Woah, another oor reaction was so quick, ehe. Im glad you enjoyed it! Taka is no doubt an amazing singer, and in their live performances it’s clearly seen that he’s a great frontman/crowd keeper as well. I think you would enjoy hearing another adele cover, but this time done by the whole band, “easy on me”. Their arrangement made it much more rhythmic and rocky-ish, and for me personally mory lively. And taka’s vocals in there? Chef’s kiss. BUT there is “one by one” (2015) performance (live ofc) which i really really want you to see. It perfectly captures how taka can easily switch between screams and clean sound, and there are some vocals from guitarist too;) Also I would definitely recommend “mighty long fall” or “i was king” (there is a performance of this song with a whole orchestra, its majestic). Im sure you will have a bunch of suggestions in comments to choose from, so thank you for your reaction! It was nice to hear your thoughts and opinions (and to see that cutie, even if just for so long)❤

Great reaction, guys. I love how you break down his vocals. From a fan of OOR it's amazing to see music professionals explain Taka's awesomeness. 😊 please react to more of their live videos. A few are We are. Waisted nights. Mighty long fall. And please some of their studio session. I believe there are like 9 or so. Thank you ❤

One ok Rock has a massive catalogue of amazing songs. The entire band is phenomenal. Please revisit them!

I love finding people that are discovering and reacting to One Ok Rock! Please continue to react and enjoy songs from the past and future by this band as there are wayyyy too many amazing ones where Taka's vocals are showcased brilliantly. Whatever the OOR community recommends is what I recommend as well- you can't really go wrong to be honest. I only ask that you try to stick with the live performances. Taka and his group always shine brighter and sounds MUCH better when performing live. Great video, keep up the great work!

Amazing just wow n chill

Please react to Renegades (piano version), if you want to watch him do vocal gymnastics 😊

Taka is an amazing singer. At 7:48 he was pushing it, but he did a great job covering this beautiful song. And it seems he sang it in the original key. Another amazing singer is Zhou Shen from China. He is high pitched and has the voice of an angel. I also recommend the Korean vocal group Forestella that is outstanding.

Wherever you are - live ambitions tour

I recommend I Was King Orchestra version ! And nice reaction, I like that you are not only amazed by artist, but also try to explain some technical stuff :)

TAKAが歌ってるの聴いてAdeleを好きになった。思い出深い曲❤

I just stumbled upon your channel the other day from the previous One Ok Rock reaction. I was really happy to see y'all pop up in my recommendation for another video of them! I really like hearing technical comments about Taka's voice, it really puts into perspective how talented he is. I just recently got into OOR pretty heavily and I can't get enough of their music. I hope you guys continue to listen them, I would love to see your reactions! My recommendations for them are "We are" (specifically the live ambitions japan dome tour video :D), "Mighty Long Fall" (the Yokohama stadium live video), "Stand Out Fit In" (orchestra ver.), "Fight the Night" (orchestra japan tour). Thanks again for reacting to them!

Love your reaction 🔥

Beautiful voice. Very emotional. ❤

We are Live at japan dome tour Ambitions tour Take what you want Live at japan dome tour ambitions tour

So happy that you found how incredible Taka's voice is. I love your reactions especially since you are a vocal coach and a song writer. One OK Rock lives are the best because you really can hear Taka going all out in his vocals and the band is really awesome. Their music deserves to be heard by more people because once they discover them, they become instant fans. Looking forward to more reactions.

He also covers A thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton...so captivating!

MOREEE PLEASE~ T-T

So glad you guys hit another One OK Rock song!! Hope there’s lots more to come… Taka has to be one of the most versatile singers out there. Dude can sing anything…

OOR sound so good live! You should also listen to their live of "Clock Strikes" (35xxxv tour). Taka's vocal range is really just amazing.

yeeeey i love one ok rock, and Taka voice is amazing!! i need more reactions

This was a great reaction to Taka. Thank you.❤️ 🥰🥰🥰 Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦 -"tempted off the path by this fantastic vocalist for a short while"🥹😂

タカの両親は、日本で誰でも知っている有名な歌手です。

Please listen to "renegades" piano version from them ❤

React one ok rock wasted nights live

Is this and take what you want all they have seen? Omg

I recommend Ending Story (orchestra version) that song is a banger 🤗

このリアクションが見たかったです❤ ありがとう🫶

there is no surprised that he can sing for us Japanese people, because both his parents are talented singers, as matter of fact, His mom and dad are still much more famous than Taka in Japan.

Great ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

Goosebumps 👏👏👏

Beautiful ネコ😺

Neon, Save yourself, Let me let you go, Etc

Taka's parents: Mori Shinichi (stage name): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1V3Fc0he3p0.html He sold nearly 90 million albums in Japan. Mori Masako (stage name): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dqI7nlroZuU.html she gave up her career when she married Mori and had Takahiro, Tomohiro (TV director) and Hiroki (also a rock singer). Later when her sons grew up she released more songs. The style they sing in is called ENKA. It's a very specific music style that involves certain singing techniques that might not be familiar to Western ears and Western singing training, so it could definitely be interesting for you to hear. Btw, both Taka and Hiroki were originally trained to be Jpop idols, but Taka was booted out of the agency because someone released a photo of him smoking and hugging a girl (Jpop industry is really strict with artists, no private life is allowed, dating is forbidden). He then went on to have a huge fight with his parents who discovered booze and cigs in his room and he ran away from home. He lived on his own from age 16 and worked at a restaurant before meeting Toru and becoming the vocalist of OOR. :)

💖

It's cool to see Japanese artists getting reacted to :) I would also like to recommend a korean vocal group called Forestella. They are not a Kpop band, but a vocal quartet and they have genius covers of songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, Scarborough Fair, L'Immensita, Time in a Bottle, Je Suis Malade, or even pop covers like Despacito or Bad Romance :) Their harmonies are out of this world, definitely suitable for trained ears ;)

If you react to save yourself please pick the Japanese version and I highly recommend. One ok rock vandalize studio jame session! There’s two songs in that session! Which also includes your tears are mine! The video is around 9 mins long . Please watch! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZI9RgVyzU4s.html ( here’s a link!)

I've been following One ok Rock for years, thank you for your amazing analysis. Hopefully you guys can react to DPR Ian in the future, he is a great artist with a totally different concept. He speaks in his lyrics and expresses in his videos what it is like to deal with bipolar disorder. The lore that hides his work is surprising, with alter-egos and universes out of this world.

Pls check One Ok Rock-Good goodbye live from Japan tour 2015

I saw him walking with his friend in Tokyo yesterday! I could immediately tell it’s him from his speaking voice😊

I saw Johnny checking out Taka's pitch perfect A flat 5. Yup.

also watch the cover of Open Arms with Arnel Penida of the Journey

I recommend Open Arms - Journey (Arnel Pineda x Taka)

Try to react cry out please....

He is so incredibly talented! His voice is phenomenal. Another singer who sings effortlessly is Mitch Grasse of Pentatonix. He's a Countertenor.

Thank you for a great reaction. Taka is crazy good both when it comes to range and versatility but my favourite part is his ability to convey emotions when he sings. Back that up with skilled instrumentalists, very good songs & stage presence and you got OOR. I would love to see you dive deeper into OOR, interested in hearing your views on both Taka's voice and their songwriting. I don't know if you're interested in checking out more artists but I believe every vocal coach should know about Dimash Qudaibergen from Kazakhstan, if this is a new name for you might want to check him out, for example the cover of Koji Tamaki's "Ikanaide" that he did for Tokyo Jazz in 2021: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8mM-bp5PB34.html

Beautiful!! A recommendation for you is Morissette Amon. She does covers and has her own albums as well
