JUNE 2026: 🛑 STOP REQUESTING SONGS HERE

Vtuber - Ayunda Risu - Mir//or - she has now released Karaoke versions of the song so there are three versions out: the actual song where she is doing a duet with herself/ the Ayunda version (low tone)/ the Risu version (high tone) - I feel that this would be a perfect song for breakdown because the work of separation of the two "singers" are already done. [Pardon the formatting I'm on mobile]: https://youtu.be/QIIbdZOBfyM?is=ZQmPX1gXzdBh5cOu - https://youtu.be/1PxEmKQvM70?is=hqPKageEFqP5rEI5 - https://youtu.be/toMMyF1ZxKM?is=a_EJOlJHOQ2GPw47

This and the one below are for your test as requested on Discord. Pop ~ Gracie Abrams ~ Hit the Wall Lead single from Gracie's soon to be released album. A very strong pop piece with some unusual construction, and brutal honesty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFCTQ68gxoY

Pop ~ Angelina Jordan - Love Don't Let Me Go Self written, and part of her last rollout attempt under the now defunct contract under Maverick. Lovely piece. And the woman in the car with her is her Grandmother, an award winning writer who is currently writing a lot of Angelina's music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U6WY_z8Vu8

[JPOP] Megatera Zero - May Day May Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbyv97nn7DM MTZ's voice is just so addicting, really cool to listen to! Also his shorts and karaoke streams as Whale Taylor are insanely fun.

[Undefined Experimental Musical] - Zutomayo - 1 Hour Live PerFormance 「ZUTOMAYO FACTORY」 https://youtu.be/Pudux9RKL9I?si=ZCcOMBKgOkgfaAQu I would just say that it is worth your time to enjoy and explore every detail in the live show, as well as its musical magic. The stage design, every sound effect, and the show is well arranged for the whole band. Let’s enjoy!

[hazbin] Black Gryphon and Baasik - Insane https://youtu.be/kofuSo_dmvs?si=n-eBG5ddUiUsw6w4 the last song in the trilogy to have an official video

JPOP - Mrs. GREEN APPLE - A Priori https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atJbRXERvH8&list=RDatJbRXERvH8&start_radio=1 Please check out the live performance instead of the MV—the live version is so much better! The mix of orchestral elements and J-pop is really impressive. The vocal acting and musical-like movements are also super engaging. I'm requesting this single track because it's my favorite, but honestly, all of Mrs. GREEN APPLE's songs are amazing!

[Vocaloid] Kanaria - Any song Kanaria - King [Gumi] https://youtu.be/cm-l2h6GB8Q?si=0XUjAq6_x9fBf7Ic Kanaria - Eye [Gumi] https://youtu.be/sSHkXxADtaE?si=6VeYgyH9OLiaGg2v Kanaria - Yoidore Shirazu /Unaware Drunkard [Gumi] https://youtu.be/vB8sxY_PJ_w?si=uZk13OIYkwyQCC-f Kanaria - CartoonGirl [Gumi https://youtu.be/BY7CnLX5Mk0?si=ZepYmXHDiiiczE7j This is a Vocaloid producer and now vtuber. The songs are short and sweet and they got really popular about over 5 years ago. The songs listed are just a few but they only have 17 songs on their personal YouTube channel. Don’t know if anyone else has recommend Kanaria but they are another good newer Vocaloid producer and a study would be amazing.

Vtuber - Hololive English Group, every member of every generation Song - Odyssey - Lyrics by Mori Calliope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wO8d70KSXw&list=RD0wO8d70KSXw&start_radio=1 The song is somewhat of an Anthem now for fans as it is one of the last pieces of music to contain every member of Hololive English participating within it, including all the now graduated members. By itself it's a beautiful song that's all about moving forward after tough times and put together in a way that feels like a medieval or fantasy story of adventurers at the end of a hard journey and about to begin a new one. For fans alot of the lyrics have a somewhat double meaning of saying goodbye to those members and the long few months sending them off as well as celebrating the new Talents who had just recently joined and going forward with them.

[Anime/ JPOP] Walküre - AXIA~Daisuki de Daikirai~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiwJfKGSFk8 (Live Concert Ver.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oHv07ASkRg (Single Track Ver. No video) While the full unit (Walküre) is singing backup on this song, the main singer for the song is Kiyono Yasuno who also plays the character Kaname Bucaneer in Macross Delta. I wanted to add some info for the song since I couldn't find any videos with English subtitles. In Macross Delta, the song "AXIA ~Daisuki de Daikirai~" (meaning "AXIA ~Love, yet I Hate~") is the emotional anchor of the tragic romance between Delta Flight pilot Messer Ihlefeld and Walküre member Kaname Buccaneer. It represents salvation, unrequited love, and the liberating power of song. In Macross Delta, the song "AXIA" acts as a vital anchor for pilot Messer, allowing him to resist Vár Syndrome madness by grounding his humanity. The track's subtitle, Daisuki de Daikirai (Love and Hate), reflects his internal struggle with vulnerability. Kaname’s involvement provides the emotional core of this tragedy; as a failed solo idol who lost her lead singer status in Walküre, she discovers that her old song was the sole reason Messer survived a previous Vár outbreak. This profound revelation deepens their bond right before his final departure. It culminates in Episode 10 when Messer, sensing his impending death, begs her to sing "AXIA" face-to-face, forcing a heartbroken Kaname to perform his final eulogy live mid-battle. This song brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it, and almost a full on cry if I'm watching it.

Vtuber - Mori Calliope Ch. hololive-EN -Calli The metal side of Calli is my favorite, but the entire PHANTOMIME album is so good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbNF8FqzIMs&list=RDIbNF8FqzIMs&index=1

Japanese Music Unit - TUYU - Any Songs I like Compared Child. However, I would add that TUYU disbanded in June 2024 after legal issues involving Pusu. Though I really like their songs. If not because of the issues. Their singer Rei (礼衣) has her own music. Compared Child: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olWvy0PiLfA Few below I also like, their songs also connects with one another: Even tears withered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xfNTyy-Xhk If There Was An Endpoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcw5THyM7Jo&rco=1 Perhaps I'll be able to become the Sun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2b_bvTbDz8

Vtuber - Rosco Graves - Usseewa (cover) https://youtu.be/OlzU_lHBSIk?si=oC48cL3g5Xg0p8l0 Original by Ado. This is probably Roscos's best vocal performance yet. If you wanna check out more, he has a collection of covers (even one with Banzoin Hakka!) and 3 original songs! His vocal range is very wide, and he also does a lot of rap.

Vtuber - Michi Mochievee - Nothing More (Original) https://youtu.be/_JomDDB-y78 Just released today. It's different from other things you've heard from her, light and fun kind of sound. This came about from a subathon reward to write an original song in a style chosen by the community, a happy love song was chosen (because she keeps releasing heavy, emotional songs).

[misc] Black Gryphon- MASK (Gangle's Song) Feat. Marissa Lenti https://youtu.be/FnudllBQBL4?si=yrtKhLftZgKvnSnO With the TADC finale out this month it would be cool if there was a exploration into many of the fan made songs

REN-Starry Night

[Anime] Pmarusama - scream! https://youtu.be/G3apSJbD7Ek?si=LQkD2jMPOb2LrpcW Really fun song

VOCALOID - HYPERPOP- VocaloKAT – Affection Addiction https://youtu.be/UTcZHzDY3LU?is=3CQYMGoq_iX0FzNJ This is technically not a vocaloid but a synth-v like Yi Xi in Butcher Vanity it is perfect for pride month be cause the creator is a fellow trans woman like myself and it is about hypersexuality and being in a relationship where the other person can’t get over you being trans and how you don’t feel like you’re enough for them

[VTUBER][HOLOSTARS] Kanade Izuru - Aishite Aishite Aishite https://youtu.be/P1GH-04ebzo?si=JIlIghxbpCRAqAPk If you want more of Kanade Izuru's gritty voice, this is the perfect cover for that. The English translation of the song is "Love me, Love me, Love me". it's a song asking for love after getting neglected as a child. the pain it carries is deep especially for a child Warning: Disturbing imagery, implied child neglect and abuse. Flashing lights

[VTUBER][HOLOSTARS] Astel Leda, Yukoku Roberu, Kishido Temma - Ah Osaka Dreamin' Night https://youtu.be/VI1ZWkQadTc?si=VMgGCLg0iSh17Yeo They are the 2nd generation group of HOLOSTARS JP aka SUNTEMPO. The original is from Hypnosis Mic group with the Dotsuitare Hompo unit which is their rap group. But for the HOLOSTARS cover, they really did justice on the cover will hook you. Astel's different take from his usual tone really tells how versatile his vocal range is. Temma's high vocal range as well and Roberu's playful voice completes the song as one. This is their first cover as a unit during their group anniversary.

[VTUBER][HOLOSTARS] Astel Leda and Aragami Oga - Garando https://youtu.be/xaol7imXNd4?si=ABI995Jo4Z2BCI4s This is a cover from HOLOSTARS JP members Aragami Oga (the one with the VERY LOW VOICE and Astel Leda. The song is a Vocaloid song titled Garando (がランド) Produced by Picon and with artist Eve. The English Title is "Airhead" Their version of the song will really caught you off guard because of their dynamic and their harmonies.

[vocaloid] p.i.n.a - red purge!!! https://youtu.be/7TtvPQmtyBU i might be a little late, sorry! this was posted in 2014 and has honestly been one of my favorite vocaloid songs since. it‘s a bit of a weird song but i think they use the voice banks very well! the voice banks used here are kagamine rin & len :) the songs is actually about back when japan was occupied by the US and people that were suspected to be members of the communist party lost their jobs and stuff. so its an interesting topic for a song too, imo!

Vtuber- Astel Leda and Kanade Izuru- Juggernaut (cover) This is a cover by Astel Leda and Kanade Izuru from Holostars JP. This is a beautiful song that really showcases the powerful yet soft vocals of both artists. It is one of my favorites, I always come back to. This is a powerful duo and a cover I don't see reacted to very often that you might enjoy.

Grand Archive Fan Song - TalkGA Podcast, vocals by chiisa Genre - Jpop https://youtu.be/9kSgtE3IEJo?si=LfjjuLR37jxkdDbA A beautiful song that covers the back story of Lorraine one of the champions in the Grand Archive TCG. Lorraine is a champion for the Grand Archive and gets sent to worlds that are going to encounter a world ending disaster and she tries to save them. She fights to protect those she cares about after losing her family to a monster attack when she was a little girl. The lyrics both cover her backstory and with nods to the materialize mechanic in the game.

It’s where I first discovered her music and why I’ve continued to listen to it to this day.

Here is a bit different content idea: Hey Tim, As you may know, Olivia Rodrigo's third album ("you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love") is going to release on midnight Friday morning EST the 12th. I'd like to suggest that you do a live twitch stream listening party/review for it on release. A bit late for you, but probably doable given your new greater focus on the site. and see what sort of numbers you can pull with it. Further if you snap out a YT review (I'd suggest either of the BBC1 Live lounge performances "The Cure" or the "When a good man Cries" cover of CMAT) you could tag at the end of the clip that you are going to do the listening party at midnight and link your Twitch, and perhaps drive a chunk of the Livies to your Twitch and perhaps Patreon after that. I think it would be a good marketing opportunity for you to try to see if it grows things that might become a viable thing for other major album releases going forward. I can supply links to either of the two suggested songs if you'd like. Hope to hear back on your opinion and thoughts. J

[J-POP] Kanzaki Iori — "Hated by life itself" or "Life hates us now." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HYm60Mjm0k This is the most viewed Vocaloid song covered by an "Utaite" (cover singer). The original creator, Kanzaki Iori , shared his thoughts on this song below: (The article is quite long, but reading it will help you deeply understand the emotions poured into this track. Please check out this page before reaction.) https://note.com/kutai0426/n/n9a99430f2b96?app_launch=false When I was in junior high school, I clashed heavily with my parents over my future path, to the point where I wanted to die. I have a brother who is 12 years older than me, and our parents, who are both teachers, loved us deeply. My brother is highly accomplished; he graduated from a prestigious university and currently works at an IT company. My parents wanted me to go to a good university too, but I couldn't see how that would benefit me. Even if I obeyed them and got into a good school, there was absolutely nothing I wanted to study at the time. The hardest part for me back then wasn't that my parents were strict. What truly broke me was my intense self-hatred. I had no passions, yet I couldn't even obey my parents, and I was just causing them sorrow. There were so many times I wished I had never been born. That was when I found this song. It gave me a reason to live. Ever since then, whenever life gets too painful, I listen to it over and over again. I want as many people as possible to hear this song, because I am certain there are others out there who will be saved by it, just like I was. Sorry for the long post, and thank you for taking the time to read it.

[Video Game] Final Fantasy XIV – Flow (Amanda Achen) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wxsFNHRu_I Flow is near and dear to a lot of Final Fantasy XIV players. It is an old friend's greeting at the end of an immeasurably long journey across time. A deity's love letter to the brave hero she waited so long for. A mother's embrace. Amanda Achen's voice delivers it with all the tenderness it deserves, and Keiko on the piano just complements it perfectly. The song had a huge emotional impact, as it was one of many “goodbyes” to a decade long storyline and many of the beloved characters it carried with it.

[Video Game] Final Fantasy XIV - Shadowbringers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ugtWT_iNqw (song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tyuIh12_HU (video) From the same expansion as “Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, there is no better than the Shadowbringers theme song. Both songs begin with the same few lines and angelic voice, but take a completely different turn. Jason Charles Miller is the main vocalist and the songwriter is Masayoshi Soken. Once again, the song takes us on a whole journey, introducing some of the expansion's new areas through both the music and visuals. It tells the story of yet another calamity to come, one that must be averted, as it would truly doom the world as they know it (among other things). I don't think I can say any more that would do it justice :) Another delicious mashup of genres as is SOKEN's specialty.

[Video Game] Final Fantasy XIV - Footfalls (performed by THE PRIMALS and featuring Amanda Achen) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vJn7MXRBX4 (song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTTtd6bnhFs (video) Footfalls is the intro song for Endwalker, which was the expansion that wrapped up the story that had started a decade ago with A Realm Reborn. As such, it's a completely original song composed of various leitmotifs from previous expansions' soundtrack (such as Stormblood's boss music “Storm of Blood”, and Shadowbringers' theme song, “Shadowbringer”.) The song is a whole journey of its own and likely more thrilling when you are familiar with the precious expansions' music. It can absolutely be enjoyed in any order, however :)

j-pop- Yanaginagi - Over and Over This song is just really pretty and well structured and cemented yanaginagi as my 2nd favorite artist

[J-POP] Sheena Ringo - A Double Suicide While she wrote and composed the song for Megumi Hayashibara to preform for the anime Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, Sheena Ringo covered her own song and it got popular on tiktok awhile back. I would really reccommend listening to both versions as they do have subtle differences and they're both amazing singers. https://youtu.be/hbckxFs-obM?si=T2_u1trVYHEYvDjV

• Name: Gekko Symphonia •Genre: J-POP and Anison (Anime Song) •Artists: AKINO & AIKI • Description: I watched the Aquarion Evol anime BECAUSE of this song. It comes off as a Pop-Ballad whilst incorporating soft Classical and acoustic symphonic elements if I may be so bold as to borrow from Google AI. https://youtu.be/t6UYMnzVz3M?si=pV73c7bGfwhnmMFK

[vocaloid] iyowa - KLY https://youtu.be/uB_jQ8H2Yeg same producer as heat abnormal, though this song is more accessible in comparison. this song includes 12 different voice banks! the album version actually includes even more (about 21?) and it‘s a very fun song idea!

[J-Pop] Penthouse - 26:10 https://youtu.be/yIWgLDOGuuY?si=AU1b0v08k5IDqoxA These guys have been my obsession recently. Between the two vocalists Namioka Shintaro and Oshima Maho, their pianist Sumino Hayato who's also known as Cateen, and the rest of the band, this group has some serious chops and I think you'll have plenty to dive into with their music.

Will Stetson is a really cool cover artist that also makes songs for games like Genshin Impact, he has a vocaloid song he produced himself and also self covered. Kinda funny story but he did start out his career in osu! when he won a talent show for a song he sung! He is a great guy, he put so much heart to his work to get to where he is now, very proud of him as someone who saw his beginnings in a game we both loved.

[Vtuber][Video Game] Nyanners - Snake Eater (Cover) Originally performed by Cynthia Harrell for the game Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. Nyanners is an OG Vtuber and a good friend of Ironmouse.

Trigger warning: Shinsei Kamattechan - Ruru's SC Show on a Livestream Official Video (Animation) - https://youtu.be/hc0ZDaAZQT0?is=lMAyRSR8o9YguUK_ - a disturbing but amazing song about a young japanese streamer that "fell" of a roof, very distinct vocals and lyrics that is combined with wonderful but haunting visuals. Definitely a bit out there but it is a tribute to all the lonely and broken people, but I fully understand if this is a topic that you dont feel is fitting for your channel.

[J-Pop] SymaG - Onomatopeten Shi (cover) Cover of a Teniwoha Vocaloid song. Very much on the bizarro side of things. Has beatboxing too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GXja4e5q-U

[VOCALOID] Nh-Uh-Uh. - SLAVE.V-V-R ft. Hatsune Miku https://youtu.be/ZDfedFXfb3w I put in the title that I feel like makes most sense reading out loud, since the common english translation of "Hmm, Ah, Ah." doesn't make as much sense to me. Anyway! Love this one because of the unique tuning of the vocals.

[JPOP, UTAITE] Wolpis Carter - Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan (Cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q91yh1VwxaU Wolpis Carter's cover of "Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan" is basically the gold standard for male utaite high notes — he sings the whole thing in a bright, almost feminine range without sounding strained. It's the most viewed cover on Niconico for a reason: the raw emotion and control just hit differently, and once you hear it, you'll understand why people have been obsessed with it for a decade. Wolpis re-uploaded his cover on Youtube exactly one decade after his Niconico video. It currently sits at 17.5 million views on the Japanese video platform and is the most viewed cover by any utaite ever on that website. Produced by Orangestar using the VOCALOID IA, "Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan" became a staple for covers because its soaring, bittersweet melody and wide dynamic range give singers like Wolpis Carter, Mafumafu etc. the perfect stage to show off their emotional control and high-note power

[J-POP] Akatsuki Records - Good Nightmare https://youtu.be/UlV3VKnXDFM (Apologies, this might be a long comment because it needs some context) Because of your recent adventures into Vocaloid/vocal synths and utaites like Ado, I wanted to recommend something from what I would consider a sister community to Vocaloid- Touhou Project! Specifically, the singer named Stack from a fan music circle called Akatsuki Records. It's a lot to summarize, but as best and as shortly as I can: Touhou Project is an indie video game series that grew in popularity alongside the rise of Vocaloid. There are many points of interest, but one of the most important is the music of Touhou. There are whole bands/music circles consisting of fans dedicated to just arranging/remixing music from the games (a lot of Vocaloid producers started/dipped their toes here too, such as Kikuo), and the one I am recommending is Akatsuki Records, who has a very unique vocalist named Stack. I've always wanted someone outside the scene to look at her work because her range and variety of sound is reminiscent of someone like Ado (to me, at least). The song I picked is not their most popular but is still well loved and I think a great introduction to her unique voice (if not maybe an odd one, haha). All vocals with in it are done by her. If you cover this request and are interested in hearing more of her, I recommend the additional songs Third Eye Tango and Reverse Trigger. These songs I feel like introduce you to her range in sound pretty well.

(P-POP & SOUTH EAST ASIA) Jeff Satur - Rain Wedding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqP7s1ydZ8A&list=RDOqP7s1ydZ8A&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lKLFVHAQMo&list=TLPQMDMwNjIwMjYwUsPvhIRD-g&index=1 I really love this OST and since i am always enjoying live performances a little more i have that link first! The second one is the official video, in this live perf the track is mainly a piano which isn't always the case!

Nerissa Ravencroft - Down By the River (COVER) (Baldurs Gate 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j3wK1DXhrs&list=RD8j3wK1DXhrs&start_radio=1 I think it's one of the best examples of the breadth of Nerissa's classical music background and how crystal clear her vocals can be whilst also being an absolutely magical song, I think you'd really appreciate it from what you've said about your own background, plus it doubles as a very popular piece of Video game music so hitting two audiences!

[MUSICAL THEATRE, SOUNDTRACKS & OPERA] Repo! The Genetic Opera (a musical/Rock Opera) Would link the film, but I don't know how without giving a virus. However, it is a Rock Opera.

[METAL/ROCK] Bones for the Crows by Nickleback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhlbZFdlHC0 It now has a new lyric video. :)

[Video Game] Final Fantasy XIV - Tomorrow and Tomorrow (Amanda Achen and the Eorzean Symphony) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fgB3M2y4wY Went ahead with another Final Fantasy XIV request as this is one of my favorites :) FFXIV is a MMORPG that has been going for well over a decade and has some of the richest, most varied music I have heard in a MMORPG. It's extremely story-driven, making the music especially important, and as such, has quite a few tear jerkers that pull you into this storyline, and this stuff sticks with you despite the passing years. This song from the Shadowbringers expansion is one of those songs. It was a popular leitmotif in the expansion's music and truly flourished on its own at the end of it. Amanda Achen's voice together with Masayoshi Soken's masterful songwriting take us on a journey every damn time.

[Vocaloid] - Hitoshizuku×Yama△ - Blessed Messiah and the Tower of Ai https://youtu.be/CiEC329xPos?si=nv4Xu6UZ46-BlsiA One of my favorite Vocaloid songs of all time. This song is by the producer duo known as Hitoshizuku×Yama△ which consists of Hitoshizuku-P and Yamasankakkei. They're well known for their very theatrical storytelling songs utilizing usually multiple vocaloids with artwork for the MVs done by Suzunosuke. This song in particular uses Ten different vocaloids: (Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin & Len, KAITO, MEIKO, Megurine Luka, IA, Mayu, Gumi, and Gakupo). The instrumentals and arranging give a very dramatic and fantastical vibe and I think you'd love it! This is the explanation of the songs story/meaning from the video's description: "Having searched for power which surpasses human intellect and mocked God, the civilization earned His anger. Once he sealed the 9 Components which make up the world in one tower, the world began its slow journey towards destruction. It was then that a Messiah and their companions climbed the tower in order to beg God for forgiveness. After earning His forgiveness, they took the Blessed Light from the 9 Components and lit the world's lifespan at the altar. What followed was-the world's lifespan was connected by the light of the Messiah, who is created every 15 years.".

Pride month: It comes as no surprise that I'll put Chappell forward for this one. If you choose to go with it, I can supply you with more then enough formal videos, covers, full length concerts, and so forth to fill the month for you, and I'd be happy to coordinate with you in setting it up as needed for the month. ~J

Omaru Polka - PO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGJ9-1LWFtE&list=RDTGJ9-1LWFtE&start_radio=1 I originally wanted you to react to the live version from last year's holofes. But some pointed out that you might not be able to do that even though it is on the free part of the live(for YouTube), but it would be ok for a Patreon exclusive. If you choose the non-live, I would consider reacting to her other original: Omaruu Polka - HOLOGRAM CIRCUS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ_eazT56FA As that shows more of her range. I still hope I can see you react to the live version, as I find it insanely charming. Live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C3kreEOk1Q&list=RD4C3kreEOk1Q&start_radio=1&t=4061s Her performance starts around the 41.28 minute mark. fifth time the charm ;) Original post: I am going to post this again: it's a bit of a funny, different thing, though I suggest you take the two other songs as well, for something more serious. But I would love a reaction to Hololive's Omaru Polka' performance of her "Po" song at last year's 6th Holofes. I am mostly intrigued by how, what (I think) is essentially a very simple song, is perceived by a professional as it is very fun and hype, but seemingly very very simple. I wonder what is something that a layperson like me would not realise about such aperformance? because while it might sound simply, it is probably not easy. Here is the live video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C3kreEOk1Q&list=RD4C3kreEOk1Q&start_radio=1&t=4061s Her performance starts around the 41.28 minute mark. a little bit about Holofes, shamelessly stolen from the Hololive Fan Wiki: "HoloFes concerts features nearly all Hololive members aside from ones that was then recently debuted. Songs selection contain a mix of cover songs as well as originals. Every featured members have their own solo segment as well as group songs. The event would take place at a real venue with a paid live stream as well a free live preview on the Hololive main channel on Youtube. 1st Fes was originally a single day event but the number of talents led to 2nd Fes onwards being organized as a multi-day event with the performing talents being splits between those days. Starting with 3rd Fes, Holofes was organized alongside HoloExpo. Each fes, Cover also make changes to the presentation, starting with AR integration in 2nd Fes, full virtual cameras for stream viewers in 3rd Fes, Guest artist Stage in 4th Fes and three screen setup at the venue for 5th Fes. According to Yagoo, 1st Fes was the turning point for Hololive Production as a whole and helped secured the investment to expand its operation including the funding for its billion yen multimedia studio." About this particular performance, Omaru Polka is from Hololive JP 5th generation, and it is part of the free experience; most of the concert is paid for either in person or livestream. Overall, it is just really a fun performance, and had the responsibility of hyping up the crowd on the second day, as Suisei did on the first day with Stellar Stellar. Probably most suited for a quick check rather than a very deep analysis. For a longer video, you could consider extending it to the next two songs and including Hakos Baelz, also known as "Bae" from Hololive English Promise (who you now have reacted to). Bae, as you have experienced, is known as an exceedingly great dancer. The third song would then be Houshou Marine from Hololive JP 3rd generation, who is the most subscribed active Hololive member, who performs in the Cube. Bae performs a cover of "Show" by Ado. While Marine performs her original "How About Paipai Mask?" Both of the two other songs are very different and more serious than the first one.

Mainstream Pop - Olivia Rodrigo - The Cure (Live for the BBC1 Lounge) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJTZXZWxEAY This is a live performance of Olivia's second single from her new album that will be released on the 12th of this month. It's from the BBC live lounge meaning it's a live performance with one take. Her support band includes three guitarists, a drummer, a keyboardist (Chappell's from her tour) A Viola, Violin, and Cello, and Three backup vocalists. They reproduce the album track recording almost perfectly. Olivia is uncanny in how close she is to the album, excepting a few small changes she had to make for the live format. It's quite impressive, and it's a live which I know you prefer, and it should be able to be reflected onto YT as the BBC stuff almost never gets struck, which would lay the groundwork for a full album review in a week or so when it drops. May the month be good to you. ~J

Vtuber - Takanashi Kiara - Do U(Korean) The Korean version of Do U that she sang also. https://youtu.be/AviJuDMEmEc?si=78AvKXemM0JzzZK9

Vtuber - Takanashi Kiara - Do U She always has very K-pop oriented songs. https://youtu.be/QI96hnhcr2E?si=4Co-UvCTlc9IYGI6

[Rock] Mother Mother – Mouth Of The Devil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d2CViK6pKk A lot of their songs are quite different from one another, but this is one of my favorites.

[PPop] SB19 - Wakas at Simula Concert https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqjAar8DJ_el9-_LsdGlKvzQeQLc8gsff&si=7kJmLtUV40jovSg_ Looking forward to some SB19 content!

Vtuber - Takanashi Kiara - Sparks Very K-Pop heavy. https://youtu.be/Lq9eqHDKJPE?si=zc_Z-wEu84-QrDAQ

[Vtuber] Mori Calliope – Shuuden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAcp1080J7w Another one of her softer songs, and one of my favorites.

[Vtuber] Ellie Minibot – Stupid Heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwqixDryQck Such a talented musician/songwriter that deserves more recognition. “I just feel like I’ve spent my whole life trying to figure out how to be quieter, and how to not make my music anyone’s problem…. I used to take my little roll up piano and I used to play in the shed and sing out there where no one would have to hear it…. The fact that there are people who want to listen on purpose, it makes me cry…. It means the world to me.” - Ellie

Tom Cardy – Transcendental Cha Cha Cha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLzxuIfD9rU Very chaotic but catchy song by a very talented Australian comedy musician.

[Vtuber] HONK THE HORN – NO LEASH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kTUgS414QE New J-rap duo that just popped up and blew me away.

[THAI ARTIST] Jeff Satur x TIMETHAI - Golden night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX0kv32_XWk&pp=ygUPamVmZiBzYXR1ciBsaXZl I don't think you got into any Thai artist but I think you should really get to know these two. This song is originally sang by Jeff only and it is a melancholic yet hopeful holiday ballad about longing for a past love during the New Year, yearning for a second chance, the golden night symbolizes a wish for love to bloom again as a new year's gift. If you would like to hear more of Jeff Satur I also recommend Fade (there is both thai and english version) https://youtu.be/yM33H706NJs?si=FYB-iJeo4J2qyAl- Ghost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qguo-j5PxBE&list=PLYiCUslCeCVoCCYEqvMQhi3PrHAV3jYCO&index=7

[Video Game] David Briand — My Curse, My Fate https://youtu.be/l7S3fTAZUgk?si=oUEfbcyqIx1w-Km7 Okay okay… this is another Zenless Zone Zero EP! This is the last one I’ll request by name but I totally recommend ALL the EPs! This one is centered around a playable agent Hugo and it’s very story driven. Like it showcases much of his backstory.

[Video Game] Taiga — I Ask https://youtu.be/-GaV5ouXOOw?si=9u2oVqYUSYn8ST-w Another EP from Zenless Zone Zero! A very standout and unique song around a playable agent Banyue. As I think back on all the EPs, this one is so far different from the others and just HITS different. Captions recommended!

[Video Game] Ai Mori, Astra Yao — Stars Align https://youtu.be/9LffgQC0Y58?si=pLT4faDGt927pArD An EP from Zenless Zone Zero! Centered around the playable agents Evelyn and Astra Yao’s relationship. Astra is a popular singer in-universe but the song actually focuses on Evelyn who’s her bodyguard and manager. Whenever this songs plays in my playlist while I work, it takes everything out of me to not dramatically use my broom as a microphone.

[Video Game] Azumi Takahashi, Lotus Juice — Color Your Night https://youtu.be/N0o8H_5PK84?si=Hc1_MLMF0jOw7Zxu This song is a part of the soundtrack of Persona 3 Reload! This particular track is for night outings in the city while you do things like going to eat at a restaurant, heading to the arcade or visiting the karoake establishment. There are so many good songs in the OST but this one is original to this game (this is a remake/remaster of sorts). Azumi Takahashi is a new singer to Persona, but Lotus Juice has been connected to the series for a while. Persona has SO many incredible songs come from the games that it’s usually considered to have some of the best soundtracks in the industry (hot take?). It’s definitely deep dive worthy if you ask me.

JPoP - Sheena Ringo - Maranouchi Sadistic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFX8TpaUz4w Sheena Ringo is a very influential artist, who I think many in modern jpop would cite as an influence. This is a live version of one of her songs with her band (at the time) Tokyo Incidents You've reacted to the Ado's cover of her song Crime and Punishment before.

[J rock] Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra - グッドラック！マイフレンド feat.ムロツヨシ & さかなクン https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcqQ8xO468s

You've already reacted to this artist, but you should hear more from her. Her name is Suis (from Yorushika). My recommendations are: Aruku / Walk Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuSFM2l9OaI (There is another song after Aruku, so don't be surprised!) Recorded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjrres2QTyk Thoughtcrime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENcnYh79dUY Hachigatsu, Bou, Tsukiakari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs5NViM8TSY Plover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t75qlQPXJGw I really like your music reactions and analyses. Thanks for the content!

I would love to see more Zutomayo on the channel I know you will get a kick out of this one! Jpop and its Zutomayo - Study Me live! here is the link https://youtu.be/_WQNWVZqw4Q?si=CXHbRHV9hmH8Q3ZH

[VTuber] Ouro Kronii - Way 2 U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr2lbQwHQeY Kronii isn't so much known for her music (even though she is also a professional voice actor), but a few days ago, she just released a new original and it is SO DAMN good, you should really give it a listen

[VTuber] Usada Pekora - いいわけバニー (Excuse Bunny) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlLo7jypqDI Pekora's music is like aural pixie sticks. It is literally impossible to be sad while listening to it

[VTuber] ReGLOSS - Sakura Mirage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAOqZqQXbqM ReGLOSS is an idol group within hololive who honestly deserve a full deep dive, but for now, this is the track I'd like to recommend. It's not their biggest, but imo it's their catchiest.

[VTuber] Koseki Bijou - Rock In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSZ0iMP80QQ There's a bit in the middle that I think would be fun to see Tim react to

[VTuber] Tsunomaki Watame - Mayday, Mayday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_JvgkZ04t0 Watame rocks SO HARD, and more people need to know about it

[VTuber] Amane Kanata - Fallen Wing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2K1H9D0DZ8 Kanata has, imo, the greatest musical output of anyone in Hololive. Sadly she graduated on NYE last year in large part due to an irreversible condition that was causing her to go deaf (this song is probably the most relevant to her story, but every one of her tracks is amazing. I will link a few more below that would be perfect for a deep dive).

[Rock / Soul] Black Pumas - "Colors (Live at Abbey Road) https://youtu.be/pbyyRCr60Q8?si=SoIpeGhHJ7_5DOrU

[Rock / Metal] Devin Townsend - "Kingdom" https://youtu.be/nubJjB95VdY?si=-Ox_MeSFVp5ni0u- Devin Townsend has been a fixture in the metal and progressive metal scene since the 90s. He is a great songwriter and singer. Obviously there are backing tracks on this and vocal effects, but I do think he's pretty much singing live.

[Pop / Soul] St. Paul and the Broken Bones - "Fall Moon" (Live) https://youtu.be/APNyDpI7JQI?si=XXgSfYWUyw5CQdgf

[Rock/Metal] Ayreon - "The Day That the World Breaks Down" https://youtu.be/oFuMKdrzPqU?si=JoEA5LRMXRK9vh3J Ayreon is the music project of Dutch musician/song writer/producer Arjen Lucassen. He does most of the songwriting and plays many instruments on his tracks but is famous for bringing in other musicians and singers for all of his projects. This album features 11 different singers, all of which are featured in this song, who all play a role within the story that is told through album. Most of them are singers from rock and metal bands in Europe and I will gladly provide a list of the personnel but I'd rather wait until after you do reaction, if this makes it to that point. What's great about this is he adds a lot of behind the scenes commentary about this album, the singers, and the story. There's a wide range of voices between all the singers that will give you a lot to break down and talk about. Hopefully this is something people will vote for and you can get to it some point.

[JPOP, Utaite] - Wolpis Carter - Tokyo Teddy Bear cover https://youtu.be/tXa2rc2ytJ0 An iconic vocaloid song by Neru that Wolpis covered. Imo the best version of this song. Also more Neru song recommendations are needed

Kidd Voodoo - Confortas pero dañas (Live) https://youtu.be/h7PYIgQgbII?si=vwjSueANZasc52Kr Kidd Voodoo is a Chilean solo artist who also forms part of the band Resonancia Etérea. He initially started his musical career with the band which leans more toward indie pop/rock. As a solo artist, he’s known for blending reggaeton, latin trap and pop with a more emotional and melancholic style influenced by his indie rock origins. This song was released with Resonancia Etérea, and it’s basically about loving someone who gives you comfort while also hurting you at the same time.

Centimillimental - Fuyu no Hanashi (live) [J-pop] https://youtu.be/xgAbsJVtJLs?si=ZOYHPGXMFPAOMT70 Centimillimental is a Japanese singer songwriter who became widely known after creating the music for the anime Given. Music plays a huge role in the series because the main characters are in bands, so he essentially created the entire musical identity of the two main bands, giving each of them their own unique sound. He's really an amazing musician and he does everything (vocals, piano, lyrics, composition, etc) This is a really heartbreaking song created specifically for the show. The lyrics are about grieving someone you loved and for context, in the show this is the song the protagonist writes and sings to finally express the feelings and regrets he had been unable to put into words since their loved one died. The song has two different versions because the music performed in the anime is actually sung by the voice actors themselves. So the anime band has its own version of the songs, while Centimillimental also released his own personal versions of several songs, and this is his version of Fuyu no Hanashi.

Aimer - Dareka, Umi Wo (Live) [J-pop] https://youtu.be/btbQRq-YStA?si=gHjpCRY2CJs0TVWs

King Gnu - Prayer X [J-Pop] Since you love live performances this one is really good and I think that he's singing even higher than in the studio ver. https://youtu.be/_YcQUAVL6_I?si=XgZ_lSLHIO1nbP3E King Gnu is a japanese band and this particular song is an anime ending. One of their vocalist, satori iguchi has such a special voice for me, he usually does a lot of falsetto and his voice sounds amazing This is the mv, in case you wanna check it out too https://youtu.be/L-Bzhpm8h0o?si=AnHAmQL6CjySQGD-

Rishie-p does a lot of the metal Miku sound you heard from Utsu-p, so I highly recommend her. Specifically Konton boogie, lost ones weeping, mind brand, or Tokyo teddy bear. All of these songs are super dark, though https://youtube.com/@rishie-p?si=Pyg6wpzD_kVOQREP

[Video Game] Final Fantasy XIV — Answers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h542YbZuwkQ Edit: I have found the song without the video sfx on Masayoshi Soken's channel, I will add it below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSVu11piESg The iconic theme song of Final Fantasy XIV composed by the legend, Nobuo Uematsu (before Masayoshi Soken took over) and sung by Susan Calloway. It was the only version I could find on the official channel. An incredible track that is still beloved by the community to this day. Be prepared for an influx of Final Fantasy XIV players on your Youtube channel if it makes it there :) As an MMORPG, it's got an incredibly rich soundtrack and an even richer and dedicated community.

[Vtuber] - Nerissa Ravencroft: Sweetest Scarlet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLMlYZdynxE Had to...Its one of my fav Nerissa songs, and for whatever reason takes me back to the 90s.

[Vtuber] - IRyS : Gravity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fevB6h3-kfE Would love to see quite a few from IRyS but choosing just one right now it would have to be this one. More Info: IRyS's original song "Gravity" is a comforting anthem about overcoming feelings of being lost, isolated, and overwhelmed. It highlights the struggle of staying afloat against life's heavy challenges but ultimately delivers a message of hope, solidarity, and realizing that others share your same frustrations. IRyS officially debuted on July 11, 2021, as a standalone VSinger to bring "Hope" to the world through her music. Hololive English -Project: HOPE- was a unique musical branch and generation within Hololive English, created by Cover Corp to focus on virtual singers. In her own words IRyS later said "Let me just state the reason why project hope is now closed. Was because for quite a long time there was nobody managing it...they might have had plans in the beginning! I don't know, maybe not plans more like ideas in the beginning but it just kinda went poof pretty early on!" In my opinion this song stemmed from being a lone member in a dead branch / gen stuck between Myth and Council and while she was friends with the members in both there was still a lingering sense of being alone. Eventually Project Hope and Council merged to form Hololive En Promise.

[J-pop/rock/whatever] Mrs Green Apple - Darling, live from the Tower of Babel concert https://youtu.be/172xbmuRf7w?si=Bm91V8p9h7scaoQG This song was written for the NHK 18th fest and was originally sung with a thousand young adults. It's very inspirational and this performance on top of a tower is really awesome

He had composed song for artists like Ado and Phantom Siita (Gira Gira, Elf, Zoku Zoku)

[K-pop/ Indie Rock] The Rose— Baby I just really like this song, and I’m curious to see what your reaction is to the songwriting and singing. It’s very unique.

[K-pop/ Indie Rock] The Rose— Sorry The Rose’s debut single Sorry was almost never released. Melody composed by drummer Hajoon and lyrics by singer Woosung. The Rose’s label at the time wanted them to do something more upbeat, and the label also wanted them to dance like typical K-pop idols. But The Rose never gave in and they managed to debut with Sorry, written by them alone. The song took off in Europe and the Americas to everyone’s surprise. Their first tour was a world tour around Europe. The Rose still to this day isn’t that popular in Korea because they are now an independent band that writes the music that they like and they don’t follow typical K-pop idol trends.

[Metal] The HU Ft Johnny Hawkins of Nothing More - Lost Soul https://youtu.be/fPFutucWIog?si=xl4VdTzVtUhDwx39

[europe] Colm R McGuiness - Side-side-side quest https://youtu.be/LgkFH8XTkPQ?si=i40HQulpb652g_lW Standard DnD nonsense

[Anime Series] - Bocchi the Rock https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GXJHM3P19/bocchi-the-rock The subject is right in your wheelhouse: It's a light hearted series about a young musician who's developed an online following but has always wanted to join a band - having to overcome crippling social anxiety to do so. It's a short series, 12 episodes in total and only 23 minutes per episode so you could probably do 2 per posting between seasons of some of your longer run series.

[Video Game] Hoyoverse - Star Rail LIVE 2025 https://youtu.be/FAckVYINs8E?si=s-mnRr9sqxXhyhDA This is probably asking too much at 2hr20mins long, but even if you were to react to a portion or cut it up or however you'd do it, I think the Hoyoverse concerts are incredible musically, in production and in visuals. They cover a huge range of music from the game in a similarly large range of styles. This is the concert for Honkai Star Rail from 2025 which is one of the most memorable for me (maybe recency bias)

[VTuber] Nerissa Ravencroft - BIRDBRAIN https://youtu.be/XdNd0IwiGEo?si=EyMCxaQV7w7l0Mvp I still think it would be really fun(ny) for you to see this, not to mention Nerissa's great singing. This is a cover of a vocaloid song by Jamie Paige & OK Glass featuring Kasane Teto

JPOP - Minami - Hollowness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIRiduzNLzQ An extremely talented artist who conveys a lot of emotion through her voice and sometimes plays guitar in her songs. She writes most of the lyrics.

[Pop/Rock] Slayyyter - $t Loser https://youtu.be/Z-2RqE7a8Q0?si=5EpmnS_6vxTKhqls slayyyter just performed on the same coachella stage chappell roan did 2 years ago! slayyyter is an openly bisexual woman and has been making music for awhile, she’s finally receiving her flowers for her most recent album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA

Kaleo - I Can't Go on Without You - (live on 89.3 The Current) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcXsK_u4ixI Kaleo is an Icelandic band formed in 2012. They are incredibly talented. Their music is influenced by folk, blues and classic rock. They are known for performing their songs against the backdrop of Iceland’s magnificent, wild landscapes. The singer, JJ, has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard...

[Vtuber] Ellie_minibot - same moon https://youtu.be/vx4MiwpfFoA An original that she composed by herself, it's one kf my personal favourites from her discography

[Vtuber] Ellie_minibot - I don't want to be an engineer https://youtu.be/IyMJ4FhYiEw Carry over from last month's recommendations. The original is a vocaloid song as part of the _neurosama ARG created by vedal and his team. The song is part of the 2nd video released of the Arg and is using the vsynth voicebank Eleanor Forte. Ellie does a different arrangement of this song

[Anime] Yoko Kanno, "Real Folk Blues" by The Seatbelts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru_H5PiyfSA The ending theme to Cowboy Bebop. Just to round things off. Yoko and her band made five entire albums for that show. She has done many more excellent songs as well. But these four should serve as an introduction at least.

[Rock][Full Album Reaction] MCR - The Black Parade

[Anime] Yoko Kanno, "Tank! Extended version live" by The Seatbelts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d75ov4HvRrM Yes a fully live jazz band. Seven minutes of musical decadence, Yoko's band The Seatbelts made this for the 20th anniversary of the song. Originally created for the classic anime Cowboy Bebop.

[Rock] MCR -Planetary (GO!) https://youtu.be/UvfNmXbVHi4?si=rL1IZ40dDuim3Uu3 Fun fact, since it is the season, their lead singer Gerard Way has been openly nonbinary using He/They pronouns since 2015!

[Anime] Origa, "Inner Universe" by Yoko Kanno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIVgSuuUTwQ Second Yoko Kanno deep dive request, her second best known piece. The first OP to Ghost in the Shell: SAC. This particularly shows off the skills of the singer.

[Anime] Origa, "Rise" by Yoko Kanno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjLZvsRwqDQ Back with my request for a Yoko Kanno set, because she is one of the all time greats of the anime world. Primarily focused on four songs to get you started at least. Start with the second opening to the Ghost in the Shell: SAC series. This is the TV version, both because the visuals match up amazingly well, and because the long version is a bit repetitive.

[Jpop/ anime] Milet- Tell me https://youtu.be/WhLcQAzbpGA?si=qAxqSKXTrLOI6NoM Part of the Fate anime franchise. Ending song for absolute demonic front Babylonia

[Vtuber] Bao the Whale - Birdbrain https://youtu.be/anGhKYF-iTM?si=Aw5TmLosGI-0XazR You did a similar comparison about singers doing vocaloid covers and I think this one would be a great pick for second in that series. Bao tried to be as faithful to the original as possible and mentioned that the vibrato requirements to copy a vocaloid are pretty insane (which is somewhat obvious)

[Rock] fall out boy - G.I.N.A.S.F.S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73G7kxHhFeI a pride-themed fall out boy request for june! the acronym stands for "gay is not a synonym for shitty", and it's a bonus track from their album "infinity on high".

[VTuber] Ironmouse ft. Bubi - Aren't we all the worst https://youtu.be/nEgOSprI6A4 The animation by BluBao is honestly incredible. Plus I'd love to hear your opinion, since I (and many others) found you through your reaction to Ironmouses music box of fate.

[JPOP UTAITE] Luz cover of kokoronashi https://youtu.be/EUBetKCDGN4?si=YA-u4GoEULwoKqd4 Composer: Chouchou-P originally for vocaloid gumi Luz is an utaite turned professional after gaining an audience as an utaite on niconico. The song is about wanting connection with another person but to me has always resonated as someone with chronic disease scared to have relationships with others knowing their own mortality

Pride month suggestion: sufjan stevens! [US folk/pop artist] he came out publicly as gay in 2023, but he's written about his sexuality in his music for as long as he's put music out, and he helped write the score for the movie "call me by your name".

[aus/ uk/can/ usa] Tom Cardy Ft Montaigne - Red Flags https://youtu.be/ozezG1zpxXQ?si=2MPvH1iBkZtukmHr Human Centipede

[Pride month,US pop, hyperpop] underscores- 'Do it' https://youtu.be/Zd0j0xnhWFw One artist to pick for pride month. She is amazing and her music takes a lot of inspiration from Sophie your favourite producer tim. She is openly trans

[Europe] KAJ - Economy Plus https://youtu.be/Y8TcF-r7TaE?si=Zzg296mN4hCBDeDZ Move over Mr Worldwide Mr International is here

[Vocaloid] Chikara - Do it a capella https://youtu.be/tn8OWz4KzuA Chikara makes exclusively a capella songs using multiple voicebanks, this song is the first song of his "band" called "Do it a capella" which consists of 7 different voicebanks. I find the concept of doing a capella songs using vocaloid software fascinating and shows the incredible variety of the genre.

[Pride month, Hyperpop] - Underscores - "Music" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNYqwpx7Cys Underscores would be a great artist choice for pride month. She is a super cool trans icon in the hyperpop scene, and she likes to breakdown how she made each song in livestreams on her channel.

Vtuber - Mint Fantome - Dream a Little Dream of Me (Cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVmJHvgTo2Y Since it was recommended, I leave it here as well. Just another incredible jazz cover by silly ghost girl <3

[VOCALOID] Sasakure .UK - ÅMARA (The Great Intelligence) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6snD1650ck It’s a song commissioned for the 2nd anniversary of the rythm game Project Sekai, it’s unbelievably complex with tons of bpm changes. Anyways if you want to feel stimulated, this is the song! Genres in this song feature: Art Pop, Glitch Pop, Nu Jazz, Jazzstep, Jazz Fusion, Progressive Pop and Drill and Bass

[JPOP] Mafumafu - Sacrifice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boLiYzE3xM8 just an unbelievable song by him, self composed, arrangement, sung by him and of course he also animated his mv because he just can apparently. One of the best anime openings songs I have ever heard.

[Vtuber] Moona Hoshinova - Who's Toxic? It's You! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFoGNZ05CJw

[JPOP] Wolpis Carter – Anchors Weigh (Cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1d3E1zeVzI The most popular cover from the utaite Wolpis Carter on Youtube. It’s amazing and Wolpis always manages to get the most out of the songs he covers. His vocals are out of this world and if you are interested in utaite this is a song to listen to.

VTuber (Hololive) - Roboco & AZKi - 革命道中 - On The Way (Cover, Original by AiNA THE END) https://youtube.com/watch?v=FloUbXxN8sA Roboco's voice is something really special, I hope you'll have a chance to check her out.

[Europe] Zara larsson - Lush Life & Midnight Sun (Live from New Year’s Rocking Eve) https://youtu.be/5jrn4IfWYa4?is=SjwszzfBVsKa_JiY Zara is a really famous and talented artist from Sweden. Everyone knows her powerhouse vocals!

[Vtuber] KAF x Tokyo Gegegay - Made in me [Music Video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0-QBZBAmYQ This is a part of the series where Kaf collabs with someone prominent in the music industry. This is the 2nd song she has made with Tokyo Gegegay and probably my favourite of the 2.

Mexican metal - Ladrones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe4wKWoEkIs&list=PLmyAV2byPRxicWo7eT9XAUwudZTu90OYL&index=138 I shouldn't listen to them while driving because the speed limit becomes a suggestion and my steering wheel a drum kit.

[Video Game] Okabe Keiichi - Nier Replicant and Automata good ost on both games. Automata is sequel and has many Replicant songs remastered Too many songs to list, but if there is a deep dive at some point, I am sure the community will give a good list but realistically choose any song and its good.

[Vtuber] Yuzuha Makura - Replica https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEhv6rnpOas This is a chill song by Yuzuha Makura. Her 10th original about 2 years ago.

[Vtuber/Game] Isekai Joucho - Silhouette https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKUSVhiA0-w This is the opening to the game titled 『HYKE:Northern Light(s)』 Aside from Isekai Joucho from Kamitsubaki being the primary singer, the back vocals also have notable vsingers such as Yuzuha Makura

[Vtuber/Game] u32 - Blur (Stellar blade OST) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkVnLCjA9xs This korean vtuber's name is pronounced as the japanese word Usami. She was the official singer for the song in Stellar Blade produced by ShiftUp.

[Vtuber] - Elizabeth Rose Bloodlflame - Agadoo (Ultimate Edition) [cover] https://youtube.com/watch?v=gmzkHdV2zx4&si=7v0HbzvBS5Ealdba

[Vtuber] Akuma Nihmune - Spaced out https://youtu.be/2ev9NspM6-8 My favourite song of hers, it's very beautiful

(J-Rock?, J-Metal/Electronicore) Let me hear - fear, and loathing in las vegas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv7cGXao18U This was the opening song for one of my favorite anime ever(parasyte- the maxim) The first anime song that led me to check out the full discography of the group, other bands like them, j-rock, j- pop, other music outside of my tastes. My music tastes are so broad today and I think I can trace it back to this song. The anime is great btw, should check it out also. (Repost from May, I joined middle of the month so I guess I'm hoping it might get picked if I'm posting it at the beginning of the month so it has time to potentially get more attention) Thanks for your great reacts Tim!

[Vtuber] Densetu.exe- Burn on! Hot-Blooded Heroine https://youtu.be/6fLrU1tua6w An extremely fun song that has the perfect mv for it

[Vtuber / anime] GEMS COMPANY -- "Hai to Inori" (Ending Theme for Anime "NieR:Automata Ver1.1a" 2nd Season) Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqQP4zBBv4g Translated title: Ashes and Prayers Gems Company is a virtual idol group created and owned by Square Enix. They successfully ran for 7-8 years. Unfortunately they ended activities shortly after their 7th anniversary with the anniversary concert being the day the concluded activities. For this song, Yoko Taro handpicked Gems Company to sing it. Do note this song is posted on Sony Music Japan and I am not sure what the copyright situation is for this song.

[Jpop] 9lana- Aimai https://youtu.be/_hqEfCOuyJg

[JPOP] Rosu/Roce - Wizard's Diary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqp5nUfNYKo a very beautiful song by Rosu another very talented vocalist that is often compared to Ado and 9lana in a way. It's her first anime opening song from the anime Champignon Witch

[JPOP] Mafumafu – Hitomodoki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjbuvMHaCgI This song was a crucial moment in Mafumafu’s career, he started to show himself more openly. It is kind of like how Vivarium is an important step for Ado’s life. Very personal to him and one of the few MV’s where you can see Mafumafu as the person.

[Game/JPOP] Temari Tsukimura (VA. Nao Ojika) Gakuen Idolmaster --- Luna Say Maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq5Dj0U06vQ Luna Say Maybe is composed by Minami (a singer songwriter that has been recommended by others in here) for the character Temari. Gakuen Idolmaster is an ongoing mobile game under the Idolmaster franchise owned by Bandai Namco.

[Vtuber] Asu — Slowly https://youtu.be/enFLXbbXWdk Asu is a Sinsekai (sister studio to and under, Kamitsubaki) vsinger i have followed since debut. Her voice pairs incredibly well with Police Picadilly compositions such as this original song. Hoshimachi Suisei herself has stated that Police Picadilly songs are really dififcult to sing. Police Picadilly is Asu's primary composer.

[J-Rock] Band-Maid - Domination (live) https://youtu.be/QbyQCJn6rYg?si=2Zyq4wrCFslYW4_q Another great Band-Maid song to follow on from your last one!

[Vtuber] Cosmo Kamizuru (from va-liv) — Orbital Period https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAUqRkhMHbc va-liv is a vtuber unit from a mega franchise called Idolmaster under Bandai Namco. Orbital Period is her first original and probably my favourite from her songs.

[Vtuber] Marinasu ---- Wonderland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EasFva6CjYs Marinasu is a virtual dance and vocal unit under Avex most known for dance/eurobeat type songs. Wonderland is among their first songs back when the group was 4 members. A part of the song is dedicated to introducing each member so it is great for the start of a concert.

[Vtuber] VWP (Kaf, Rim/RIME, Harusaruhi, Isekai Joucho, Koko) --- Resonance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar0nuMEBmfY These are 5 of the most treasured members of Kamitsubaki which was created after the producer scouted Kaf from Twitter when she was 14yo. They have their solo careers while also being a group together as VWP (Virtual Witch Phenomenon.) Resonance is my favourite way to introduce them because it spotlights each member's vocal styles quite well. One thing that surprises even the 5 members themselves is that despite their voices being so unique, they somehow manage to sound amazing together.

[Vtuber] Nephla (formerly nah) --- Night Magician https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R12CcbyRq5Q nah is an indie vsinger who recently rebranded to Nephla when she changed her channel into an artist channel. She has said that even among her friends, they all tell her that her voice matches songs before the period she was born into. Night Magician has that 80s - early 90s feel.

[Vtuber] KAF - EAT THE PAST [Music Video] (aka Devour the Past prior to a recent name change) has english CC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMKrECxEpq8 Kaf, a musical prodigy most known for her ability to emote in songs, was scouted by her now producer Pied Piper over social media when she was 14yo. She is now over 20. This is about her 8th original song on her channel but also her most popular at 21M current views. This song was posted early June of 2019 when vtubers were still quite new. At the very beginning of the Kaf project, famed vocaloid producer Kanzaki Iori was recruited to assist her and ended up making all the songs for her for most of her present career. He has left Kamitsubaki a few years ago to recover and reenergize his compositional creativity as he feels he has started to stale. Kamitsubaki was started up from project Kaf and now has many talented artists under them (virtual, silhouette, and real artists)

J-POP Yuuri- betelgeuse https://youtu.be/-n790YakYKc?is=YymmeERT09fEHx_0 Yuuri is a Japanese singer and one of the best, in my opinion. “Betelgeuse” is my favorite song ever! 😍 By the way, Betelgeuse is a huge star, and it’s going to explode someday soon.

[Vtuber] RIM - Carnivorous Plant (Official Music Video)｜from 神椿 Kamitsubaki has english CC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9eCSWEJYjk RIM is the 2nd to debut among Kamitsubaki. She is often said to have a similar voice to KAF but her special traits are her growls, gentle yet mysterious voice, and her ability to sing in other languages. Around her debut, one of her first few songs included Bad Guy from Billie Eillish. She has recently done a retake on that so you can compare between her 2 recordings. She has also covered Ditto by New Jeans with flawless korean pronunciation. Carnivorous Plant blew up in Japan when it released, being viral all over social media including shorts/tiktok. It currently has 52 Million views. The song being posted back in 2020, recently there was a light novel written from/about this song.

Vtuber - Inugame Korone - Wonky Monkey Really fun song https://youtu.be/UPSSUSLlwjY?si=xhlvqGuBzD8BRfUa

[Jpop] kikuohana- desert theater https://youtu.be/M9lF9Z7cSS8 One of the most significant collaborations. The duo is formed of Kikuo who you already know and Hanatan. Hanatan is one of the most impactful utaite before the time of the likes of mafumafu. She is great.

[Pride Month] I didn't see any Queen in a quick check of your back catalogue, and Freddy Mercury seems like a bit of a gay icon :P. Maybe you could listen to something a little off the beaten path like the Highlander Soundtrack, they went crazy with it.

JPOP - KikuoHana - O Light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxhZgT_Hx2I Kikuo + Hanatan = Masterpieces. Hanatan is one of the first big utaite that appeared with unbelievable vocals and she is legendary because of that, also has some of the most popular covers on NicoNico. Kikuo just knows what he is doing, his mind for music works differently than anyone else

VOCALOID - r-906 – Saji no Majinai/ A Spoonful of SPELL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6vKLsh09Qw r-906 is a vocaloid producer that focuses on experimental EDM and progressive house music. His songs are minimalistic till the drops come in and even though you expect them they will hit you. This is probably very interesting for Tim.

[Vocaloid] Tak- numb numb ft hatsune miku and kasane teto https://youtu.be/ba7YbGO2aq4 An extremely beautiful song

Vtuber - Gigi Murin - I’ll Still Be Here Incredibly emotional song for her that she dedicated to her dad who passed away. I know you have it scheduled but I thought I’d share it again. https://youtu.be/EvdDIJ2ojDM?si=QbZgU2RT60m9k_3y

[J-Pop] KikuoHana - Daughter of Misfortune From one of two collaboration albums between Kikuo and the utaite Hanatan. https://youtu.be/yj1jC0AmxVA?si=IHkUdfA3_0dcGVDW

Vtuber - Kobo Kanaeru - Fond Memories Wrote this song with the help of her chat. https://youtu.be/F1PRA4IBP8c?si=9jQxYJjeUIXM8mCO

[Jpop] Tuki- saitai kaiwai (live) https://youtu.be/Ej5sYrSf0Ns Tuki in this live is has a overwhelming stage that presence elevates this song to a new level. This song is a social commentary so I would recommend having lyrics if hand

Vtuber - Sinon Sinfonia - Never Enough (cover) Shows off her crazy vocals. She was also a Kpop girl that didn’t make it and became a vtuber instead. https://youtu.be/S_6cURTl-xY?si=bGs1z0vSYGckQqVd

Video Game - Toby Fox - Undertale OST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKXdyINOQYsb38jn5HGiF6w8X3rph4IIx While the number of songs may look intimidating, there's a good bit that's only like 30 seconds, and its about an hour in total of music. You seemed to be really into Toby in the Marine video so I thought i'd drop this.

JPOP - Mafumafu – Tokyo Dome concert in 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbqSOzLE8YI The most legendary live concert from Mafumafu and one that Tim can watch without worry since this was streamed live to everyone at Youtube on Mafumafu’s channel. Mafumafu's 2021 Tokyo Dome concert was his long-awaited fulfillment of a dream after his original March 2020 show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by a personal promise that he can’t wait one two more years, he just did it for free in 2021 for everyone to watch on stream.

[Vtuber] Akuma Nihmune, Andrew Holmes- Obsessive tendencies https://youtu.be/O_yKaSLw6Zs This song has grown on me overtime, Andrew Holmes who does all the production work sounds incredible here with numi

[Jpop] 9lana- Balalaika https://youtu.be/S2Xu6_XWy4M This is her most popular songs and just recently reached 10 million views for the mv. This song is ideal for a 1 hr study as it has a acoustic version with an entirely different arrangement and vocal performance

Vtuber - Cecilia Immergreen - Wind-Up She produced, composed and wrote the lyrics to this song. https://youtu.be/Kqh6-vjars8?si=PkI1CeKhlBKRqhZa

[vtuber / video game] Ironmouse - FFXIV Fan Fest Stage Performance (3 Songs) multiple links. I saw these posted on the schedule a while back but since we haven't seen them yet, and since they're not in the current schedule, I wanted to request the lot to put them back on your radar. From what I gather the opportunity to perform at an event like this is quite rare; firstly because these performances are usually a paid event even at the expo, and secondly because hosting or licensing performances of their IP to tour operators is a significant line of business for Square Enix. The game is pretty special to her as well, she plays anonymously off stream to avoid extra attention and feel normal - and (if I recall correctly) because it helps her feel less isolated during holidays or during times when she's not able to stream. There are three songs in her stage performance, they were live streamed for free by the event (rare) and then released individually immediately afterward on her Youtube page. There's no link to the performance as a whole so you get three URLs for this, the song order in the performance was Give it All (https://youtu.be/Il2tevTVRpg), Sinister (https://youtu.be/W9aWPqYX60I), and Return to Oblivion (https://youtu.be/L7TzzBeV7vc). Edit: Per Bossjoe's suggestion - If you wanted to do a study, you could release the FFXIV part to youtube and do a couple of originals like Aren't We All the Worst (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEgOSprI6A4) and Cry For Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEHPmWMSudw) that were recently released from the Club Ironmouse concert. Cry For Me really broke containment a couple of months ago and has 45 million Spotify plays at this point.

[Vtuber] Akuma Nihmune- Natalie radio https://youtu.be/WzlFYTAsF4U One of her more interesting songs,

Vtuber - Isekaijoucho – Sirius no Shinzou/The Heart of Sirius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKZt1vq8bKI Isekaijoucho, a VSinger from Kamitsubaki Studio, she debuted in February of 2020. Her voice is often described as calm and ethereal, and she has an incredibly consistent tone throughout her songs. During her early years, she was strongly considered as a "Virtual Dark Singer”, and although this is still true, she has since mastered her versatility as a singer, and has been shown to be able to show a wide range of emotions and performances, from complex VOCALOID songs such as “Heat Abnormal” to incredibly high energy iconic songs such as “Internet YAMERO” to emotional ballads such as her original song “Sirius no Shinzou” (Sirius's Heart) her most viewed song. Composed and written by VOCALOID producer Kasamura Tota, the song itself was actually released less than a year after her debut, and currently sits as her most popular song ever. The song is an emotional ballad that explores themes of longing, grief, as well as an eternal connection. The name of the song is a metaphor based on the star Sirius A, which is most notably the brightest star that can be seen in our night sky, and namely it's a star that sits within a binary star system, and forever orbits its companion star, Sirius B. As such, the title serves as a metaphor for two souls that are inseparable, even when they appear far apart in the sky

[Vtuber/jpop] KAF- positive Substitution https://youtu.be/vK1CzLBEAkA KAF is an immensely talented singer. She was first discovered when she was just 14 and has grown into one of the best vocalist in japan. This songs is particularly powerful and fully showcases some of her best traits

What happens when you bring together three of the best indie metal vtubers. You get one of the best covers of kingslayer. All three of them fit so well and all have great metal techniques, particularly katie who fills the shoes of Oli incredibly well

Video Game - Simple and Clean - Kingdom hearts https://youtu.be/N0vhw4dfMRg PATREON ONLY!! DO NOT PUT THIS EVEN IN A THUMBNAIL FOR YOUTUBE OR COPYRIGHT STRIKE WILL BEFALL YOU!!

JPOP - Minami – Drop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpRcRYoHqxE What comes after" Crying for Rain" and "Waiting for Rain" you ask? Right it is the Drop. Minami’s songs are deeply connected to each other and this is pretty much the emotional climax for two albums she released. This is such an insane musical experience, you know what is coming but you still will get absolutely stunned by her.

Video Game - Bury the Light - Casey Edwards https://youtu.be/pvy9km7g6fw This is the theme song for a single character in the game. This one is a whole video unto itself.

Anime series - Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2051178/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3621796/ Even though Death Note and AoT are still a ways off from being done, I would like to recommend the Fate series as a potential next anime. Fate is probably my favorite anime to date, and has some of the best character writing I've seen. The anime was also produced by studio ufotable, who were the ones behind the recent Demon Slayer movie, and are well known as one of the best animation studios in anime. Lengthwise, the main story of Fate (Zero, Unlimited Bladeworks, and Heaven’s Feel) is ~50 episodes and 3 movies, so it’s similar length to AoT

Video Game - Baka Mitai - Yakuza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NolF1yCK33c There is no context

[Vtuber] Akuma Nihmune- plants https://youtu.be/GYLi2z50Qg8 One of her most popular songs, this song is significantly harder for numi to sing than her other songs. It's a beautiful song

JPOP - Minami – Waiting for Rain https://youtu.be/766qmHTc2ro?si=JAGoDLemn9FKa0Rc This song is the continuation of her song "Crying for Rain", this is also an extremely emotional and very beautifully composed song. Every Minami song is such a lyrical masterpiece, she doesn’t put out many songs but you will get quality any time something new comes out.

They’d just game together a bunch and speak passion English and passion Japanese to each other and laugh and have a good time. If you react to it. There is a message at the end that she left for Mumei https://youtu.be/msqnELT59Nk?si=s3cAzD5qd9j_6KiC

Vtuber - Neurosama - Machine Love (Fan Cover) https://youtu.be/3jWOyIcKz98?si=7_pcx9ebZHuajM5U Original Kasane Teto and producer JamieP. This is a fan cover that uses a Neuro vsynth, but I think it still sounds really good and close to her actual voice

JPOP - Mafumafu - "Hated by life itself" or "Life hates us" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq8r1ZTma08 The most viewed vocaloid cover by an utaite of all time at 168 Million views by the most influential utaite in history Mafumafu. This has insanely huge cultural impact in Japan. A super emotional song originally by the vocaloid producer Iori Kanzaki and you need to read the lyrics when you are reacting to the song it is an intense topic. Mafumafu was a big inspiration for Ado and wrote/produced several songs for her. He is a great producer, amazing song writer and unbelievable vocalist out of this world. Fun fact on the side he also does a bit of vtubing. We definitely need a 5 song deep study on Mafumafu, who you can argue is the utaite that build the foundation for what the scene has become today.

[vtuber] Ironmouse x Michi Mochievee - Daidaidaidaidaikirai [Hatsune Miku VS Kasane Teto (Cover)] https://youtu.be/gFmrDB-99fU This is a cover of a vocaloid song by Amala, performed for the first Club Ironmouse concert last summer. The song is about a pair of rivals, each obsessed with trying to one up the other, in the original video one has a devil motif and the other an angel - in this version Michi wears a halo while Ironmouse's lore is that she's Satan. The camera work and choreography is pretty interesting as there's a lot is going on with the backdrop as they transition from one stage setting to another in the middle of the song.

Electronic Music - Alan Walker / Ghost Huang - Sad Sometimes https://youtu.be/-KORbfsqFGI?si=TsiRrWS2w4ZjVncM A must listen electronic song.

[vtuber] Unnamed - Godish (Cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzvlZF3GZ3c I think you'd love this artist and this is one of their most popular covers; might be someone you'd like to do a study of down the road. Unnamed is a Japanese-Korean musician and vtuber operating out of Japan, usually referred to as U-san by friends and fans alike, who is known for their very powerful and versatile voice. This is originally a vocaloid song by PinocchioP and famously covered by Ado, you reacted to both versions recently so this might be fun to compare.

[vtuber] Jurard T Rexford - ジェニ (JENNY) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo8KqPqKsqI Quick reaction request - Jurard is a member of the Holostars English branch and this song was released the same day of his debut in 2023. It has an interesting grungy electronic vibe to it that I really enjoy, have no idea what genre it is.

I see this song covered a _lot_ in the vtuber community, I think Rachie's version leans into the desperate and crazed themes, and it stands out from most of the others being an English language version.

[VTuber] Tsunomaki Watame - My song https://youtu.be/6VGkeUaX-zk?si=WfgVvSxv6rduanZ9 Watame is one of my favorite Hololive JP artists that you haven't really checked out yet. This song is both incredibly emotional yet upbeat and empowering. It is deeply personal and tells a lot about her journey, her struggles, and her perseverance. Some lyrics: "During these trials and tribulations, can I find my own voice? Can I find my battle cry? If I couldn’t, I would’ve given up a long time ago" She does a lot for her community, streaming long hours, putting out tons of short content, and has released three full albums along with several other EPs and singles. One thing that stands out to me is the effort she puts into reaching the English speaking community: when she makes a big announcement, she will post in English on the Hololive subreddit, and a lot of her videos include English subtitles, not just the MVs (I really enjoy her series "Have a Nice Day", where she gets to spend time with other Hololive members in-person). I do hope you get to hear this and more of her; she has so much variety in music and is an incredible singer and creator

Jpop - Mafumafu – Meltdown (cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOP0Gk0QDS0 Recommending Meltdown again, modern Mafumafu has really come far with his covers, this self-arrangement from him is beautiful and so close to the original. It is 2026 and Mafumafu still just delivers every single time and he always get better with age.

JPop - Wolpis Carter – Blooming in the Mud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40dJS_LC6S8 Wolpis is my favorite utaite of all time and this song is part of the reason for it. Blooming in the Mud is one of several songs HarryP (a Vocaloid producer) produced for Wolpis and it blew my mind when I heard it for the first time back in 2019, it currently sits at 114 million views. Just like Mafumafu, Wolpis is one of the most talented vocalists in the whole of Japan, he even wrote a book on how he sings. His vocals are so insanely unique like no others and Wolpis is very famous for hitting crazy notes on every song he sings. He leads an utaite group called the “Three Adult Men” that does weekly covers of songs in their original key.
