Ayunda Risu- 'Alice&U' DEEP SONG & VOCAL ANALYSIS

I love how you wanted to just give it a quick listen but HAD TO analyze the song further.

I'm glad you checked out ALiCE&u! This is her first original and also the one song that made the world realize what a singer she is. One thing I find interesting about Risu is that when she does home karaoke streams, her voice feel a bit more restricted because of the equipment and the area she stays in, but in stage live performances, IMO, she often surpass even her own recorded versions of the songs she sings. So for this specific song, she definitely switched to a sharper "squirrel" voice which we usually recognize as "Risu voice" towards the very end of the song right about where she hit the very high note. Interestingly when she performs this song live, she usually sings the entire song in her diva "Ayunda voice" and it's very apparent when you listen to 2 versions back to back. Last year in the EN concert, Risu was invited as a guest performer and she performed this song alongside Liz and Nerissa and that was maybe one of the most amazing live performance I have seen. A few months back she also released a new original "MIR//or" which many consider to be a spiritual sequel to ALiCE&u, and she dive more into her having multiple personalities with different voices, and she basically did a duet with herself, one with Ayunda voice and the other with Risu voice. It was another very emotional and personal piece with amazing vocals, I think you would enjoy that too!

Really recommend Ayunda Risu "Weight of the world" cover from her 3d live, you will have a lot to analyse there

I recommend any of her latest originals as well. Sing Out, Metropolis, MIR//r, and Hoshi ga Furu. Also she has live performance of Suisei's Stellar Stellar in her YouTube Music Weekend program that's amazing. She's gotten even better at performing Alice&U as she has been working to improve her techniques for it. Appreciate the sub, as she's close to hitting 1 million subs.

If you want to hear Risu sing in two voices and switch mid singing we can go right back to the beginning. Her cover of Hakujitsu by King Gnu. She sang that during a karaoke stream and it sent people straight to the hospital.

Glad you were able to check out Risu! She's such a confident strong singer, and she's only improved since this song came out 4 years ago. Extra note: you were right to guess that "Risuners" is the name that she calls her fans, and it's a pun! Spoken out loud in a Japanese accent it sounds exactly the same as how you would say "Listeners" so they're her Risuners! If you pay for her membership then you become one of her "Prisuners" because now she has you trapped! You're her prisoner :D

Yes all the HoloID girls are tri lingual, some of them are even quad lingual and they toss back and forth between them all during streams. It is fairly remarkable to listen to. I am glad you liked the song. Risu is amazing! Glad you liked them during the countdown episode and glad we recommended it. :D

if you wanna hear her more powerful side, I recommend "Sing Out"

You have technically reacted to the trio of first generation holo ID when they sang their trio song on the Hololive countdown.

Finally got this reaction 🙌🏼 I knew you’d like this song a lot and wouldn’t be able to do a quick reaction. One of the reasons that I shared it in chat a few times. I love her accent that she has. Most of the ID girls don’t really have much of one. Just her and Kaela really have much of one. One of my favorite hololive songs. This song was written about her relationship with her fans and how they helped in her first year when she was struggling mentally and gaining popularity. She also doesn’t get enough credit for how good of a singer she actually is. I have no idea how this song only has 4.8 million views. She sang in the Ayunda voice for pretty much the first 3/4th and Risu at the very end of it when it got higher pitched. All the girls were in Japan for holofes for a few weeks and they all made shorts, songs and did game collabs together while they were there. So, a good bit of them put up shorts together like the one you saw of Risu and Bae at the end. Most of the holo girls try their best to hype up and promote the other girls new songs and always comment on the new ones. ERB, Calli, Gigi and Nerissa are really good at doing that. Risu has been singing for a long time, the problem with the social media algorithm, which includes YouTube. If you watch or interact with a vtuber a bunch. They’ll share their old accounts and singing videos of them before they became a vtuber. Which, happens with Risu and shares songs she covered 8,9,10 years ago on YouTube on her old irl account.

As you read risu has named each part of her voice. The next song you need to check out is MIR//or. She sings two separate vocals in this and is very cool. https://youtu.be/QIIbdZOBfyM?si=lGOGaZHC-Ixg6pTw
