This was another enjoyable reaction and analysis. This is quickly becoming one if not the favorite Dimash performance for me and it invokes a very visceral response in me, just as "Ave Maria" did. Dimash sang and recorded "Ikanaide" for the Tokyo Jazz Festival in January of 2021. 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 has 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. Here are the original lyrics to "Ikanaide": Ikanaide (ee-kanaa-eedayy) Please Don't Go Away by Koji Tamaki Nothing visible, nothing I have been crying throughout Not because I feel sorrowful But because of the delight of feeling your warmth Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Please don't ever ever let us separate Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Let's remain this way Someday your heart will be somewhere afar That everything will turn into memory Though it's better not to know Though it's better not to know Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Whenever it is, don't let us separate Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Let's remain this way

Tokyo Jazz Festival was 28th November 2021, hopefully now that Dimash has sung the word Ikanaide over and over you will know the correct way to pronounce it. This song is gorgeous and the lyricist Goro Matsui spoke about Dimash saying, he had heard many foreign singers sing Ikanaide in Japanese but none sang it as beautiful in the Japanese language as Dimash. This song was the first ever Japanese song that Dimash has performed so it was indeed a huge compliment 💖 His Professor of composition had passed away after Dimash graduated his Masters Degreein Composition with Honours and a top score of 100%. Dimash is now a PhD student of Musicology choosing the Kurmangazy Kazakh National Conservatory in Astana over Universities in other countries around the world 🌟

I am agree with you, I love him not because his range, not because his techniques, not because his voice is the best, but because how his performances make me feel, he is an amazing artist. Thank you for your reaction!! I loved it.

Hello, this is for me, the most beautiful, and perfect interpretation of Dimash. He touches my soul, and I don't know why he makes me cry, even without subtitles. Greetings .

Dimash is truly phenomenal. Thank you so much for the great response and analysis.

It’s SO DIFFICULT to choose which Dimash performance is my favorite because I love all of them! This is among my top three! Great analysis/reaction…thank you! More Dimash please? Next, his Samaltau performance from an earlier Tokyo Jazz event?

This is actually the first Dimash’s song you reacted to a couple years ago for it has the exact same melody as “Autumn Strong.”

Dimash is a genius!Bravo Dimash!Thank you, dear, for the excellent reaction!👏👏👏🇷🇺

Lovely reaction. This is my favorite song now. He amazes me with the emotion he makes us feel. Please react to Ave Maria(New Wave). Bev

Nice - thanks. Every performance from Dimash is both a Masterpiece and a Masterclass!

Thank you. A masterclass performance. So beautiful. The Chinese version (different lyrics) is 'Autumn Strong', which Dimash has performed many times.

Please don't go/ Ikanaide Nothing visible, nothing I have been crying throughout Not because I feel sorrowful But because of the delight of feeling your warmth Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Please don't ever ever let us separate Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Let's remain this way Someday my heart, someday Will be somewhere afar That everything will turn into memory Though it's better not to know Though it's better not to know Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Whenever it is, don't let us separate Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Let's remain this way Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Please don't ever ever let us separate Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Let's remain this way lyricstranslate

The Chinese (Autuumn Strong) and Japanese (Ikanaide/ Please, Don’t Go) versions have completely different lyrics.. Both are based on a true story. The Chinese version shows the image of leaves dancing in the autumn wind as a metaphor for how fate affected Yoshiko Yamaguchi's life. ...sad but inevitable and irrevocably The Japanese version does not want to accept the loss, is full of pain, pleads, suffers ... heartbreaking. I'm totally fascinated by how sensitively Dimash distinguishes 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 whisper and his breath are music... it breaks my heart and the tears keep flowing.I have never heard anything like this from a singer in my entire life. That is true mastery. The original Japanese version Ikanaide/ Don’t Go(composed 1989) is by Koji Tamaki (*1958, Japanese songwriter). The sad true story... very touching: It is about 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 him. 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 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 most famous interpretation In China (first performance at the Singer 2017) was that of Dimash Qudaibergen and it was his first time to sing in Chinese mandarin: Dimash - Autuumn Strong - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kmi2cVijdMo.html This song brought Dimash the 'Best Foreign Singer' award at the Golden Melody Award 2017 (equivalent to the Grammy) in Hong Kong.

Gracias por reaccionar al gran príncipe Kazajo Dimash y por esta gran canción en Japonés

Es mi canción favorita...

I always love your professional reaction and analysis. I'd like to make a small suggestion that when you pause, please backtrack just a few seconds because the continuity and sometimes the next couple of seconds of his voice gets lost.

Hi Lauren, great reaction. You have heard this tune before. Dimash sang this on I am a singer 2017 the Chinese reality TV show. The song was titled Autumn Strong, sung in Mandarin. Ikanaide is in the Japanese language. If you get the chance also watch Koji Tamaki sing Ikanaide, the live version. Cheers

Es la canción más bella que he escuchado, Dimash es un mago, te hipnotiza! Gracias por tu reacción! 🇲🇽❤️🌹🇲🇽❤️🌹🇲🇽❤️❤️

Dimash is incredible. He is perfection. Thank you so much for the great reaction and analysis.

Soy de Costa Rica pura vida amo a dimash el es el mejor del mundo 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷

Nice to see you reacting to Dimash again. Please react to the songs Stranger and Ave María of Dimash

phenomenal.

This is a masterpiece....to my opinion his best ever. I can not find a single thing ( not vocally, visually) that I would change. Because he us such a fantastic performer I have to watch him as well.

Hello beautiful Lauren.. nice to see u react to King Dimash again.. Love your reaction as always.. Cheers girl! 🤗🥰 #WeAllDimashified

Good evening princess, best vocalist in the universe, yet best performer ❤️🌹

l really enjoyed your reaction and technique notes. Just so you know, it was not Dimash's voice teacher who died, but rather his professor of composition, Kenes Duisekeyev, who composed the music for Qaragym-ai. He was also the academic mentor /advisor for Dimash's masters degree in composition. Dimash said that he could sit down with this professor and have tea with him like he would his own grandfather. In Kazakh culture, that's about as close a relationship as one could have with a mentor.

Great review and explanation, I watched the video where you reacted to Dimash on the singer show singing the Chinese version where you got teary eyed. Great review then to.

Hi Lauren, I just wanted you to know that Home Free released a surprise video for Valentines Day. It is a cover of the wonderful 'Unchained Melody', and it is absolutely fabulous. It is hard when you try to cover a song that is a classic, but I believe they absolutely knocked it out of the park with their rendition. I think you will love it. Thank you!

Including Japanese Dimash has now sung in 13 languages.

🎼🎵🎶

Can I make a request for a song? Have you heard of the Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø? She is the national treasure of Norway and has a unbelievable voice. Her voice can also be heard in the 1997 Titanic movie. Could you react to her performing her new single "I Rest My Eyes"?

I love this version by Dimash, please analyse the Original by Koji Tamaki as well, it is worth it! You are very good!👍👍💙💛

Here are Dimash's newest songs: This first trilogy of songs represents Birth, Life and Death. This trilogy of songs represents Birth, Life and Death.

Further youtubers have commented that it is used some parts of the Middle East. It is also referred to as a "glottal stop" and used in English when we say "uh oh". A Kazakh youtuber commented: Dimash used singing kazakh technique, that called 'komeymen aytu', You can hear it from the Turan Group. Saha people ( Rus) uses this technique too, they called it 'kylyhah'.

A Christian hymn, composed by a Jewish man, and sung by a Muslim man. Truly, a prayer for the world This Ave Maria is a variation adapted to Dimash's voice in order to explore only the three opening notes and changing the fourth note to a higher note. At the end, the advanced vocal technique:“Messa De Voce “ (from Italian Bel Canto technique) at the last note sustained 15 seconds on the note C6 . Swell, increase and decrease the volume but don’t change the pitch, it is extremely difficult and only pro vocalists with years of training can do it. Singing on whistle and super head voice with SOFT SOUND IS SO HARD TO DO, harder than loud whistle note! Ikanaide (His first song in Japanese - 2 song versions) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eqD89lzylEQ.html The song is about Yoshiko Yamaguchi, a Chinese-born Japanese actress during World War II. She hid her Japanese heritage under the name Li XIanglan. She became famous in China. However, once the war was over and she revealed her identity, she was accused of being a spy and she was deported back to Japan and didn't go back to China for many years, as it was forbidden at that time. Ms Yamaguchi did return to China in her later years as the Japanese Parliamentary Vice Minister of Environment. This song is saying goodbye to her Chinese name Li Xianglan. The song is a metaphor, as lyrics speak of how a person has to hide what feels inside.
