I'm from Russia. The time is not easy now. It's very nice to realize that there are people in the world with whom I can cry over music. It doesn't matter that only through RU-vid. Thank you, Maestro.

Thank you for reacting to LiSA, she deserved a lot more exposure than what she has right now. The thing is that LiSA can bring such emotion to the audience, even though there is this language barrier, but you can still feel what she is trying to tell you. The way she can bring tension to the voice and the jaw, to get the impression of being oppressed or struggle, and then starting to remove that tension to tell the audience that she's finally broke free or breaking through something. She even use her breath as a medium, to tell that she is sad, or even crying. For me, it's just another level of singing.

She cried, you cried, I cried

I think "Homura" is one of the most beautiful, ephemeral and emotional songs in the world. The content of the lyrics is primarily directed at Demon Slayer's Rengoku, but it is also sympathetic to our real life, and that element will make us even more tearful.

LiSA has truly left her mark on the Japanese music and anime industry and has long been a legend within them. All thanks to her and her team for providing me over a decade of emotional, thrilling, and most importantly nostalgic music!

Homura is even more emotional when you know about its background: It's all related to the charecters in the movie, the lyric is like the protagonist talking to a beloved person that passed away and start with two powerful words: sayonara (goodbye) and arigato (thanks). I love it so much ❤

This is one of my favorite songs by LiSA. Honestly the lyrics mean so much, it's one of those tracks that I can just ugly cry to. She puts so much emotion into her music.

That hard breathing just add so much more emotion in the song, its like she s crying while singing her heart out. AWESOME AND LOVE IT

She's so incredibly skilled. She's part of the reason Demon Slayer is as popular as it is in my humble opinion

I love your reaction videos, your analysis is so insightful! I honestly cried as well watching

あなたのすばらしい人柄と感情が、私の心を綺麗にしました。LISAと同様に貴方も素晴らしいです。

I haven't been able to listen to LiSA sing on the first take where it's just her and a piano without crying at least the first few times.

I was captivated by her voice the first time I heard this song in the anime. It's an emotional song that tugged at me based on my life's journey so far.

I've listened to this song and specifically this performance probably 100s of times by now and every...single...time I'm bawling by the end. She's just amazing

曲を中断するタイミングを考えられていることにこの曲に対して敬意を持たれていることがわかります。ありがとうございます。

What I love the most about Lisa is that things you would normally edit out of a song, like all the little breaths and noises, instead become a feature of the song that hits you with so much raw emotion.

Yo bro you’re crying. I understand Lisas vocal is just so beautiful and sing to your heart deeply with strong emotions.

It was a reaction video with good commentary. Piano and vocals, absolutely simple and supreme combination. It may be hard for the performer as each can be heard clearly. It touched my soul and brought tears to my eyes after a long time. In Japanese, the word "炎" is usually pronounced "hono-o. This is a special way of reading the word "homura". "hono-o" is simply a flame, but "homura" is a group of flames, a more powerful flame. Furthermore, both "hono-o" and "homura" have an older form, "焔," which means a fiery emotion, such as envy, anger, or lust. In the machine translation, the combination of "炎", "焔" and "hono-o", "homura" would be four separate words, but all of them would be "flame". In this way, there are multiple words in Japanese that are all the same when translated into foreign languages, but have very different nuances as Japanese words, and include background situations and emotions. I hope you can sense this as well.

Set your heart ablaze. ❤️‍🔥 -Rengoku… I'm so glad you liked the song thank u for the reaction~

It made me emotional too. Even gave me goosebumps at the high notes. It's just so beautiful.

I absolutely love this song. Even without knowing the context of the demon slayer movie, it still makes people tear up 🥹

I have watched this video on THE F1RST TAKE probably a dozen times over the past few weeks and it gives me chills every time. The way Risa Oribe (LiSA) incorporates these transitions from falsetto to belting to fry is so reminiscent of the way that we transition from various stages of grief, back and forth between pleading, despair, and hope. Her voice does all of this in Homura. The lyrics have such emotion. There is pain and joy, grief and closure. The song was truly made for LiSA. LiSA has such a colourful voice, sometimes light and airy, sometimes dark and dramatic. She’s just an incredibly powerful and dynamic singer.

This song always makes me cry! Glad you reacted to it!

you two made me cry!!! Very touching video. Thank you.

I cried every time I listen to this performance. Every time.

I've seen this video so many times and it still brings tears to my eyes

You are incredibly kind and so informative! What an amazing coach! 👏

her breathing is part of why she sounds amazing

何言ってるかわからんけど 表情豊かすぎてめっちゃ面白かったし 日本語の曲でこんなリアクションしてくれて嬉しい

I watched this video when it first came out, and since then, I have rewatched it several times, and it never fails to get me emotional. It was so hard to hold my tears back just watching your video (which is like my 30th time seeing this music video and reactions to it). We all have different songs that resonate with us, and this one is at the top of my list. Thank you for reacting to her!

Rewatching this all over again and still crying when hearing this song. Full of emotions :( Hoping to watch LISA and hear homura live in the future.

Trust me, you're not the only one that gets emotional hearing this song ever if there weren't subtitles to this song you can feel it in her voice

Maestro, comparto su emoción. La canción es preciosa.

This song after the movie hit completely different, can literally destroy your heart. Every single time I hear it, I cry a lot

Por esto y mucho más,LISA es mi cantante japonesa favorita🙏🏼

I’m so happy you reacted to this phenomenal performance. I never expected you to. But I should have cause you react to almost everything.

This song goes so well with rengoku it’s fits him so well and even tho his dad stoped believing in him he still did what he thought was right and even as he was dieing he still kept his happiness and cared for others and he says that his burning passion in his heart well not be Extinguished

Andy thank you for your reactions. This song has touched me just as much as it did you. If your ever feeling down or at hard times just remember you mean a lot to us in youtube land.

I was crying with you. So beautiful her performance and lyrics

I’m glad the emotion can be felt from the song and lyrics because the scenes this song was used for is extremely sad and I still cry no matter how many times I see it 😭😭😭😭

The ending is so true. Music is powerful. The reason I get into singing is so I can vent all the pent up emotions in a beautiful harmonic form that is music. LiSA is very passionate, and that's what makes this first take performance this amazing.

shes so emotive in her music, that why i love her, since angel beats

I want to see more of your reaction related to the first take. Thank you for sharing your reaction! It was awesome 👏

Es tan cierto todo lo que dijiste 🥺 me encantó tu video con Homura, muchas gracias por el esfuerzo en los subtitulos 💞

This song made me a real fan of her, getting goosebumbs everytime i hear this and getting tears whenever I see this video of her performing it She has so many great upbeat songs, but this emotional one, damn it gets me everytime, especially knowing the demon slayer background as well as the background she was so into it... I always just want to hug her at the end of the song haha

Best reaction of this song ever! Very nice. Love it!

i am speechless you are the best teacher you feel the music and pay attention to everything i appreciate this video thank you

Thank you so much!! I’m so happy to see this! Your explains …just so right and all what you said is how I feel exactly, I loved it!!! made me cry too! 😢 I am Japanese, I am so happy to see we all feel the same all over the world!! Thank you again!🙏🏻💝

soft, powerful, emotion...is hard say all feelings her voice wake in me, goosebumps when her sing, so incredible how every person who listen this music cry even if not understanding nothing and in the end LiSa crying to remembering something, if see the Rengoku arch and listening this sound you will cry even more

Thank you! I've been waiting a long time for you to react to LiSA.

Everytime i watch she doing this i tear. There is not a single time i don't cry

A big fan of LiSA here. She is not only amazingly hardworking and dedicated with her craft, but also very relateable and human if that makes any sense. One cant help but to be touched by her music and want to root for her as an artist and as a person. I am not sure if they are available outside of Japan, but she has a documentary and a concert available on Netflix. The documentary really shows you more about her person, her struggles, what were the inspirations behind the songs “Gurenge” and “Homura,” etc It is a great watch for anyone who is already a fan, or wants to know more about her!

She has such a beautiful voice, super cute as well! Thank you MOV! :)

Here in Brazil, we love this song also! Lisa is perfect 💛

Beautful song!! Thanks!!! She is amaizing!

she is a very very great artist in the anime scene and apart from it as well, so many memorable opening songs from major animes have been from her songs!

watched the original video like a thousand times . must be the most beautiful thing i ever watched in my life. end always makes me wanna cry. btw no shame in showing emotions ;)

This performance is an absolute masterpiece, this as well as Mika Nakashimas´s performances in THE FIRST TAKE are my favorites. You should definetly whatch Mika´s performance, the way she can put so much emotion into her voice and beautiful songs are powerful enough to make me cry, and I hope more people listens to her music because I think she is one of the best singers.

I love your channel already this is the first video i've seen of yours but you are so in depth with your reaction its an instant subscribtion for me great job sir!

LiSA was going through a lot when this song came out Her husband did something horrible and it’s amazing that she was able to control her voice when the first take video came out if I had to sing that after getting cheated on I would be crying my eyes out

this reaction of your really express my emotion to.i listen the ori but you make more....i dont know what to say.i cried very hard while you commenting it.this lyric is so deep for me. thank you

I love this song so much. No matter how many times i hear it, it always gets me crying. If you like this "First take" series i recommend you "Catch the moment" from LiSA as well or Yuuri's "Dry Flower", "Betelgeuse" & "Shutter". Maybe it's too much but they're really worth hearing. Great content there. Subscribed right away. Keep up the awesome work!!😁

Her emotions on this song are amazing, particularly due to the fact that Japanese idols have very strict rules of how they can react on stage. Showing emotions like this would be a huge no-no normally, but this song means so much to her that she couldn't handle it, even though she has been trained to "conceal don't feel" for a long time. LiSA is truly a singer of a different breed.

Great reaction Andy on this masterful performance. Her dynamics are a real treat to western ears. I think this song won the best japanese song of 2021, but the particular performance propeled it even more. Make sure you listen to Yoasobi "Racing Into The Night" (the Home Take), another rare phonetic gem.😀

YEEEEES Finally I was one of the many people who wanted you to listen to this, you are the best reaction channel in youtube imo thanks to your charm and your wide international variety of music! theres something special seeing people from across the globe reacting and being touched by music the same way as anyone would, no matter the distance or language you speak, or the culture you grew up in! Greetings from Ecuador! also another recommendation is Soda Stereo (Gustavo Cerati) - Profugos !! The best latino rock group ever IMO! love the content! P.S. Gustavo Cerati is an amazing vocalist so its not just the band being amazing, the lead is on a league of his own im sure you've heard of him!

Thank you for reaction The "Homura（flame）". I love this music and LiSA. I cry listening everytime.

You get my subscription just because of this video. I enjoyed it and will watch more. If this song doesn’t absolutely tug at your very soul you are truly broken.

CHOREI ! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Such a great reaction sir and analysis, I also cried with you. It hits much more brutally after watching the movie.

Amo a este señor! Lo vivimos igual, un genio!

Her voice just gives me goosbumps!

She puts literally all of her into what she sings. She is in the song. She maybe is the song. So emotional. I'm a little new to LiSA, despite having been an anime fan in the past, but she is amazing. This might be my favorite video of her singing, due to the intimacy of just her and the piano, but I really have to recommend a live performance of Ichiban no Takaramono (the Angel Beats ending). It is my other favorite of hers, because in this First Take, when she is talking about Homura afterwards, she mentions how she puts all of her emotions into it, just as she does in shows. That could not possibly be more true in this live performance. You absolutely have to hear it and see her sing it live. It's amazing. I don't know which one to choose. I think the first one is technically better. She nails the ending and you can see her emotion. The second one sort of illustrates all of this though, and shows just how into it she gets, and how she is always on that edge when she sings, because she loses the second one, and literally starts crying during the end of it. All I can say is, what a beautiful, beautiful soul that can go on stage and sing like that. All of the hugs in the world would not be enough for this woman. Such a tender soul and so, so talented. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dPLTzdatUPw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fSrj0VzLxBc.html (note that this one is subtutled, so may be better for a reaction due to that)

Amo a este señor, y si, la música sin duda es muy poderosa 🤧 y pensar que algunos la escuchamos justo al terminar la película...😭 En ese momento, si ya estaba llorando a meres, la música fue el remate 💔

Спасибо за эту прекрасную реакцию, это и правда очень эмоциональная композиция. Люблю творчество LiSA, это всегда так трогательно. Thank you for this beautiful reaction, it is really emotional composition. I love LiSA's art, it's always so... you know, touching my soul strings...

Lisa é um amor e merece ser vista por todo mundo!

I can't help but shed tears when I watch this. Those lyrics though...

everytime i hear this song, and watching your reaction to Lisa's singing - makes me tear up! After seeing the movie a few times, it really hits the heart a lot the meaning of this song

Hi ! Tank you for reacting to Lisa songs ! She is probably the artist I prefer to listen to even though her voice affects me every time. If I could give you a Lisa anaylser sound it would be "Unlasting" which is for me my favorite Lisa music. This music reminds me of so many things and makes me very nostalgic. Thank you again for your work !

This song and a few others being sung by LiSA right now are composed by Yuki Kajiura (I call her the John Williams of anime music). She has her own group, FictionJunction and also wrote the music for Kalafina, who have unfortunately been disbanded. Kajiura has a really good ear for singers, and its worth checking out some FJ and Kalafina songs. I also recommend watching live versions over studio, as they are just spectacular.

thank you for appreciating lyrics, since LiSA is the one who wrote it with the legend Yuki Kajiura(the composer of homura)✨

teacher , You can also listen (unlasting - LiSA) your analysis (reaction) is the best!!! hug from Brazil

Seeing your love for this one, I have to recommend "LiSA & Uru - Saikai (The First Take)" for you. The harmonies in it are absolutely beautiful and I'm sure you'll love them

This was actually the "decent human being test" - you passed.

LiSA, Aoi Eir, FictionJunction, SeeSaw, Kalafina (any Kajiura Yuki project), angela, there are many great artists that are rarely known outside the anime and Japanese world.

OMG - you are so cool!!! Reacting to a Japanese singer and from a great anime soundtrack! Awesome!! I love this song too and glad you chose the First Take version. She sounds really good here and yeah, I teared up too. The lyrics are so poetic.

I came across this reaction video down the line. By now if you've already watched the movie and then listened to this music while the movie was playing, this would even be more powerful :D Genuine reaction tyvm for putting this out.

man watching your reactions is so nice

Such a sentimental song for such a emotional anime. Chills simple chills

You look so sweet!! 🤗🤗 I love seeing people reacrinv to my favorite singer!

profesor davis adoro como amas lo que haces y es genial ver todo lo que nos recomiendas, abrazos y besos desde colombia.

Such an emotional and powerful song. If you had watch the series and the movie you would be curled up on the floor sobbing right now. Demon Slayer has left me in tears many times. The words of this song embody the emotion of the series very well.

You're an absolute beautiful soul!

Your reaction is so lovely. It's very clear that you not only react with your ears and eyes but with you heart. I truly wish more channels would be like the :) I have a request : Chanmina - Bijin ( from the first take series). She's an unbelievably strong woman and the way she combines rap, facial expressions and so much emotion is truly a one of a kind experience

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.

The "lighting the flames in my heart" line makes me sob everytime!!

Love your reaction

I love your reaction videos, u dont over reac but it's real! from ur side.. thx u for your explain the note and tone.

すごく痛い。そして苦しい。 LiSAの歌声から凄い勢いで感情が流れ込んでくる。 なぜこんなに心に響いてくるだろう...

She’s so amazing😢
