she’s got SUCH an expressive voice, i just love how genuinely good she is at conveying emotion through her vocals while still sounding ridiculously gorgeous
I grew up between Japan and America from age 9, and I listened to a lot of Jpop. Finished my stay when I was 17. She has mentioned in interviews she wants to fuse Japanese melodies with western pop, and as someone who grew up both, I 100% hear it. Maybe it might not take off, but for a lot of us international kids who lived in Japan, it’s really poignant.
I used to listen to lots of jpop. I definitely hear the jpop influences in her music. But then jpop itself also has a lot of western influences and I kind of hear the western pop music scene influences of jpop that influences today’s Rina’s music. Mind blowing eh?!?
i grew up in japan as well and the first time i heard this song on spotify, i immediately thought the singer was probably of japanese descent. and it was true!
I think there's officially enough people in the world that she will be build a substantial audience either way. Will she be, say, a billionaire from music like Beyonce? No. But that's not the singular definition of success either. Personally, I'd love to see her do a tour or mashup with Babymetal, or Collab with Jaguar Jonze. I'm all onboard for Japanese Women in pop music 👍 also, fuck mainstream media. It doesn't really exist anymore anyway because of algorithms.
ok but the iconic black hair is back, do you want me Dead?????? also Cherry was highkey one of the best songs of 2018 and this version has just made me 100x times happier
Isn't this song about being confused about your sexuality? It's a confirmation that sexuality is a spectrum and that not all people are 100% straight or 100% gay.
@@richardb4796 almost but she said in interviews that it was a coming out song for being pan and the complexity of figuring that out since there is little representation for it
the way she growls a bit when sings "holding onto feelings i'm not used to feeling 'cause oh they make me feel alive" >>>>>>>> it's just so powerful i get chills each time
she's continuously switching between a beautifully weak and an impressively strong voice and i have no idea how she can do that. gorgeus and unbelievable.
lyric Down the subway, you looked my way With your girl gaze That was the day everything changed Couldn't stay the same Now it's Tuesday and I'm thinking 'Bout to tuck in Telling myself that it's cheating But it's something else Even though I'm satisfied I lead my life within a lie Holding onto feelings I'm not used to feeling 'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive When they tell you that you've got to stay the same Even though you're not yourself And you've got somebody else When they tell you that you've got yourself to blame Even though it's not your fault But your heart just wants to know, know Down the subway, you looked my way With your girl gaze That was the day everything changed Now it’s something else Even though I'm satisfied I lead my life within a lie Holding onto feelings I'm not used to feeling 'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive So won't you? So won't you? So won't you? Will you be my baby now? So won't you? With one look you take me back to everything I used to be When everyone was seventeen with no ID, no ID Now I wanna love myself It's not that us is guaranteed 'Cause inside I'm still the same me with no ID, no ID Won't you be my cherry now?

This piano version of 'Cherry' really did made me cried, her voice is so expressive and powerful in a way that she can convey a person's feeling/emotion of what they are going through in their lives. I love Rina's songs so much, she deserves everything!!
This is everything. I love the original version, and this is equally brilliant, Rina! The aesthetic is perfect, the sound is beautifully dark, and the arrangement is classy as all hell. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
im not gonna cry... you gonna make me cry.. ahg.. the woma- the woman that you are today is just beautiful the way you love is amazing the way you LOVE PEOPLE is inspirational, you are.. the definition of unconditional love
I didn't think I could love this song more than I already did! This is absolutely beautiful. Your voice is mesmerizing and so powerfully full of emotion. Keep up the amazing work!
What a beautiful version of Cherry. Like I love the other version but this one just brings something from the song at the forefront. It feels like a sad smile.
I rememeber when you came out and this song dropped, I was so proud and I felt seen. I still don't get to be out yet myself but this is one of the songs that keeps me going. I love this version as much as the original. Thank you for this art 💖
Imagine a coming of age movie with the pop version playing at the school dance or something and then the movie ends with this version playing as a non diegetic sound... wow
i never heard a song more perfect than Cherry. like it makes me dance. it makes me cry. it's LITERALLY the perfect song. and then we got a piano version for it...wow thank you Rina.
let me just say, i love the nostalgic feel i got when seeing "Rina Sawayama - Cherry (Piano Version)" on the left side of the screen! It made me feel like a kid again in a shoe store looking at the box tv while my mom and i were looking for shoes lol. I love it!!!
This is such an emotional and expressive performance, she put her heart and soul into every single word and never lost focus. the piano is also so pretty, i need to go listen to all her other songs now!
wow.. i'm in so much awe, i've always loved this song as well as the remixes but you keep FEEDING ME.... i really appreciate that this piano version actually is its own version instead of just being the studio vocals slapped onto a piano track. it really brings out the raw emotion! that subtle growl at 1:57 was incredible
This should be on soundcloud and this performance seriously shows how deep and emotional cherry really is even though it's a pop song. I noticed that when I first listened to Cherry and I'm so happy she did this bc others might not have caught on to that. Rina just keeps doing so good & can we talk about how amazing her vocals sound?
Rina, you're perfection! I've recently found your music and I'm obsessed already! You're so incredibly unique and talented! Thank you for your art! It's mesmerizing!

same! I get so emotional/nostalgic when my ear catches the Japanese influence in her music!

And even tho the day I came out to myself was the day I started to feel happy. Everyone else is just not ready yet to see.
its so ok she just wants to sing to us 😍
Bro I love when pop songs can be performed as authenticity acoustic as the original💕 also fuckeN RINA has some pipes🎶
she's continuously switching between a beautifully weak and an impressively strong voice and i have no idea how she can do that. gorgeus and unbelievable.
Nothing makes a cooler friday than a new Rina Sawayama video
피아노 버전이 더욱더 매력적으로 다가오네여!! 마성의 매력 ^^
lyric
Down the subway, you looked my way
With your girl gaze
That was the day everything changed
Couldn't stay the same
Now it's Tuesday and I'm thinking
'Bout to tuck in
Telling myself that it's cheating
But it's something else
Even though I'm satisfied
I lead my life within a lie
Holding onto feelings
I'm not used to feeling
'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive
When they tell you that you've got to stay the same
Even though you're not yourself
And you've got somebody else
When they tell you that you've got yourself to blame
Even though it's not your fault
But your heart just wants to know, know
Down the subway, you looked my way
With your girl gaze
That was the day everything changed
Now it’s something else
Even though I'm satisfied
I lead my life within a lie
Holding onto feelings
I'm not used to feeling
'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive
So won't you? So won't you? So won't you?
Will you be my baby now? So won't you?
With one look you take me back to everything I used to be
When everyone was seventeen with no ID, no ID
Now I wanna love myself
It's not that us is guaranteed
'Cause inside I'm still the same me with no ID, no ID
Won't you be my cherry now?
Holding onto feelings
I'm not used to feeling
'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive
Even though I'm satisfied
I lead my life within a lie
Holding onto feelings
I'm not used to feeling
'Cause, oh, they make me feel alive
So won't you? So won't you? So won't you?
Will you be my baby now? So won't you?
So won't you? So won't you? Won’t you be my cherry now?
Why is she not blowing up? She makes great music.
This piano version of 'Cherry' really did made me cried, her voice is so expressive and powerful in a way that she can convey a person's feeling/emotion of what they are going through in their lives. I love Rina's songs so much, she deserves everything!!

My life is very bland right now, mostly I cry and study but when I listen to Rina and Mitski I feel alive, thank you so much for being here for me
this version is magical, I really love her voice.
Ok but this lighting, combined with her makeup and outfit is all the moody glam this video needed
I’m obsessed I just discovered her and omg she’s such a queen
I didn't think I could love this song more than I already did! This is absolutely beautiful. Your voice is mesmerizing and so powerfully full of emotion. Keep up the amazing work!
