    lyrics
    Pink blood
    Pink blood
    Pink blood
    Pink blood…
    I don’t need to show it to anyone
    For something beautiful to be beautiful;
    I already know it is
    I don’t need to ask anyone
    For something beautiful to be beautiful;
    I already said it is
    People’s facial expressions,
    The “air “in a room,well-written novels ー-
    I’ve had enough of reading them
    What the point of being valued
    By someone who doesn’t understand my worth
    I should stop working hard at something that doesn’t serve me
    I don’t need to show it to anyone
    For something beautiful to be beautiful;
    I already know it is
    I don’t need to ask anyone
    For something beautiful to be beautiful;
    I already said it is
    The habit of blaming my self whenever I get hurt is really uncool
    So I’m calling it quits
    As I walk to your room
    A handful of teardrops fall to the floor
    I can’t forever remain a child
    Who doesn’t understand her own worth
    I won’t be afraid of losing that thing
    Which filled the hole in my heart
    Because I realized:The only one who can heal me is myself
    Roll the dice and take that many steps forward Even on a path with no end in sight
    Regrets ー-I’ll just wear them with style
    Until the day they turn into memories
    Roll the dice and sit out one turn
    It’s ok,don’t worry about the others
    To hell with sitting on a throne
    Only a chair I’ve chosen for myself will do

  • @SeraphJo
    @SeraphJo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'd loooove to see more Utada stuff! Their work is so sick, and so woefully under-analyzed! At least in English and Portuguese mediums -- likely for Japanese speakers there's countless videos on music theory and production on Utada. Anyhow, subbed!

  • @pandacakee
    @pandacakee 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Utada Hikaru is one of the best pop singers for me. People rarely react to her music even though she's so famous. I really appreciate your reaction! Please consider reacting to "Passion"! It's one of her best, in my opinion. The way she sings with so much emotion is amazing!

    • @chrisgelin515
      @chrisgelin515 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is their come out song. They’re non-binary and the lyrics are about being true to your gender identity and not let the world influence you.

  • @thewilythylacine
    @thewilythylacine 3 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    Utada Hikaru, having been born and spent her early years in New York, is actually as much American as Japanese. I recommend you listen to her early work (“Distance”/“Deep River” c. 2001-03 era). Although she was heavily influenced by Western rock and pop groups like Queen, she brought heavily western R&B influences to the JPop scene from the early 2000s and injected much needed new blood into what was mostly cutesy and derivative JPop music from that time.

  • @icefiredragon94
    @icefiredragon94 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Randomly found this when looking up Utada's stuff and loved the thorough analysis. You do have a point that, at least from what I know in the US, a lot of things including music are presumed to be solved so a lot of songs have the same formula unless the writer chooses to purposefully break them. It's why i like listening to Japanese songs as they experiment more and are more emotional

  • @matthewabsher2764
    @matthewabsher2764 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I must second a review of Hikaru Utada's single Darenimo Iwanai. As wonderful as the production is here, Darenimo Iwanai blows it out of the park. Lots of interesting percussion, sultry saxophone, and synths coupled with a more complex melody and a meandering dreamy vibe. I'd love to hear your take on it from a trained perspective like your own. Thank you for the content!

    • @SeraphJo
      @SeraphJo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Darenimo Iwanai indeed is one of the most out there things for them, I think. In terms of song structure, arrangement, textures, it's a great track that is bold in its softness.

    @Chaos_DY.twitch 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned the lyrics, but the song is about self love. The fact that you mentioned how the song is very emotional and can be felt in her singing is spot on. She is one of the singers who excels at transferring emotions to lyrics, like David Draiman, or Jeon Soyeon

    Yoko Kanno - Saga
    And/or
    Yoko Kanno - Europe
    I gave up on recommending these on your other channel as it was heavily metal-leaning, but this channel is perfect for them.
    Yoko Kanno is one of the best media composers in Japan, her music covers a range of genres, but these two are particularly interesting, I think.
    One of my other favourite Japanese bands is Toe. They're kinda relaxing, math-rock, with great drumming.
    To pick just one of their songs:
    Toe - Commit Ballad

  • @arapaimagold8088
    @arapaimagold8088 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    That Rhodes or whatever keyboard with Rhodes emulator, sounded like what French artist like FKJ would pull. And then add a bloodylicious Stratocaster pluck, it's a really modern composition with big fat classic Fender instruments sound.

  • @tinyhato
    @tinyhato 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Yes! Japan! There are so many great Japanese bands. I'm gonna go into recommendation mode, but I understand if you don't want to read more recommendations so I want to say one thing at the start: Regardless of if you listen to any of the bands I mention, I hope you'll continue to explore Japanese music. It's so much more than J-pop and anime songs. In my opinion they are breathing life into the world of rock and metal.
    So my personal favourite Japanese bands are Sokoninaru (insane math-rock) and Band-Maid (all-girl hard rock band). I recommend their songs "Tenohira De Odoru" and "Blooming" respectively.
    If you prefer metal there's Maximum the Hormone or Nemophila. MtH are, uh, a bit crazy. Check out their song "A.L.I.E.N." for example. Nemophila is another all-female band that's kind of a supergroup, formed of members from other bands. "Dissension" is popular for them. For a classic power metal sound full of shredding, there's Lovebites with "Holy War" live. Lots of other stuff too, like Wagakki Band and Ningen Isu. Wagakki Band uses traditional Japanese instruments in their metal music, for example in their song "Homura". Ningen Isu is an older band (been performing since 1987) that recently had a surge in popularity due to their song "Heartless Scat".
    That's all. If you got this far, thanks for reading and good luck with this new channel.

    “ Be The Right" In 2011, 20,000 people were killed in the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake. This song was made with a focus on disasters in Japan and around the world.
    The other is “We Are (18fes version)”. A song that inspires 18-year-olds, and performed live with a thousand 18-year-olds. I cry every time I hear this song. Even if you can't get into the reaction, I definitely want you to listen to these songs someday 🍀

    Randomly stumbled on this and loved watching it. This singer is Utada Hikaru, and they just released a new album a couple of weeks ago. Check out this live performance of a new song that's in English. Pretty different sound compared to a lot of what I've heard, and I think the instrumentation and voice sound even better than the studio version. I'd love seeing you break it down

    Fun fact: this is their come out song as non-binary. The lyrics are about how you should be true to who you are and not conform to conventional beauty standards. “Pink blood” is mixing red and white blood cells. It’s in-between just like their gender identity.

    You could say their music is “simple and clean”? (That’s a reference to one of their most famous songs) 😉 There’s Japanese and English language versions of it, and both are slightly different but still good. I would recommend giving a listen to both~ I assume the differences are due to the the native flow/intonation of the languages? But you might have different thoughts on it as a musician
    Btw Hikaru Utada just came out as nonbinary this week! So if you do another reaction you should use they/them pronouns ☺️
