I was so excited about this one! And it absolutely floored me with energy! Reminds me of my favorite Cowboy Bebop. Which anime OST performance from The First Take is your favorite? :)

He is 64 years old and I would like him to sing at my birthday party. Amazing

I'm a dude and I know that there is a pretty asian woman beside him but my eyes are glued to Masayuki. He's a walking charisma.

Masayuki-san is the uncle we all want! The coolest uncle. Fun fact: Masayuki earned his title "King of Japan's Love Songs".

Katriinka: tries to focus on Airi Narrator: She can't focus on Airi. She's like a light trying to escape a black hole that is the charisma of Masayuki

12:11 Suzuki Airi has been singing professionally since she was 8 years old (now 27) so it is no wonder.

Mr. Masayuki is literally the personification of swag

This song is soo good & catchy! When I first heard it, was stuck in my head for weeks!

Something fun when you analyze this video, is that Airi was already at 18 years of singing career, at 26 years old, with hundreds of lives ahah. That also explains her talent. Masayuki Suzuki really looks cool at his age !

I love Airi and her singing so much 💖 It's crazy too think how long I've been following her now!

He’s old enough to be my grandpa but his charm and his voice is just timeless!

I mean, Masayuki is really a powerful voice in this but Airi is sooo good too. I realised how good she is with this song when I saw a video of her live perfoming this song as a Solo.

Airi is a goddess! I love watching her perform and she absolutely enjoys it. She was in Hello!Project from a very young age.

This man just gives me the cool uncle vibe and I would love to meet him😂😂

This song is really catchy, i play it everyday for a month.

YES His singing is sooo funky!!

I love how she felt excited like I did, omg ur content is sooo good, keep it up ma’am!

I've been enjoying your The First Take series! I have never made this kind of request on youtube before, but I'd love to see you watch Gospellers' Hitori on The First Take. They are an a cappella group originally a college chorus club dating back to 1991. I believe none of them has an absolute pitch which is even cooler!

I had to watch again!! I LOVE that song so much, I even know a lot of the lyrics and I couldn't help but sing and dance with them!!

Ok you had me with your love for the Cowboy Bebop OST, to me is the best soundtrack of all time with the best series of all time.! Thank you Katriinka! Nice reaction!

Thank you for your reaction!! Love from Japan!

Would love to see you react to both of their singing individually! They are incredibly talented people

He also did sing the 1st opening of Kaguya-sama both songs are amazing, his voice is something else, long live to the King!

女性歌手の鈴木愛理は歌手でありbest dancer💃でも有るので、彼女の歌もお勧めします✨❤️

This was the second opening of the anime, I think you would like the first one too by the same singer (it's "Love Dramatic").

ダディ!ダディ!ドゥ! 最高やん♪ そして super good reaction！ ありがとう♪😀🥰

I absolutely love how much fun they're having

Rokuoushoukushakai's shout baby is so good on the first take, I highly recommend watching that.

their voices go together like burgers and fries both of their voices are fundamentally different but they go so well together

That music is simply amazing! One the best of all time! Papara papara papara! 👏👏

Remembering Aa! - First Kiss & how grown-up Airi is now made me feel like a proud parent. She was only 8 years old when she sang First Kiss. I remember thinking what a kid like her doing singing such a mature song XD

Your English is beautiful. Your sound is so clear, so that it was very easy to understand for me. I do appreciate it from Japan.

ノリノリなのが楽しんでる感じが良い

the comments in the original video are so funny btw, great reaction!

They have her mic perfectly balanced to compliment him. And she’s mostly in that tenner range while he goes between tenner/baritone and Falsetto…..amazing performance . Lots of old school American r&b and lounge jazz in this one and I love it

Love this performance.

This song and the anime which has this as the opening, both are masterpieces

Yay!!!! We got to see you react to the King of Love Songs of Japan "Martin" amazing to see and hear this reaction keep them up with his other song "Koibito~Michi" or even reacting to TK "Unravel" would be amazing to see, can't wait to see more Katriinka Reacts!!!

You should react to more of Suzuki Airi, she's really amazing.

His voice is so suiting for this 👍

Please react to more of Suzuki Airi! She’s an amazing artist with more than hundreds of live performance experience! Probably even thousand tbh lol

Please check more Airi's live performances, she has so much more to show as a former idol turned to soloist

The First Take has a lot of great singers, but... I would personally recommend Avu-chan from Ziyoou-vachi/Queen Bee. They performed Fire and BL, around a year ago...

You have to check Airi songs she so talented.. she was idol for more than ten years then she become solo singer at 2018 ♡

This and the first opening of Kaguya are just fantastic songsss, the performers are so amazing

I don't understand English, so I often use the translation function. But your pronunciation is so beautiful that I could understand what you were talking about. It's very beautiful.

love the vid! If you're looking for suggestions, I'd say any of "Ado" 's songs would be great to make a video on. Keep up the good work!

number 1 reason why i love japanese music is the quality 👌 even in live performances 😌😊

goosebumb and never old RIGHTTTTTTTTTTT

Since i still havent seen any vocal coaches react to any of these artists and i really hope you look at some of their songs. 1. TK from Ling Tosite Sigure "copy light"(the first take version) or "unravel"(the first take version) 2. Co Shu Nie "Asphyxia"(the first take live version) or "inertia"(the first take version) 3. amazarashi "the seasons die one after another"(on the first take) The reason i put the first take versions is because in my opinion theyre much better and have much more emotion. I guarantee you will love all of them. If you react to them that would fully make my week. They are truly amazing in every way

Fun fact she sang this song solo in her concert live..maybe you can go check it out 😍

Katrinka please do a reaction of Airi Suzuki! She's been singing in the industry since she was 8 years old! She's had a successful career in the idol & solo music world. Here you only just see a glimpse of what she can do 🥰

I love your comments. very touching. Suzuki Masayuki has carrier more than 35years (I guess. because I know him since I waa a child) and he is one of the first singer brought R&B style music to Japan (my obaservation).

I would love to see you react to more videos with Suzuki Airi! She's stunning!

This song is amazing

yess when i watched love is war i was instantly hooked with this song

You have gotta listen to the first opening he did (live version) he kills it so much!

I remember watching the Intro for "Love is War" which had this song on it. Seeing him now, he looks exactly how I thought he would from it voice, like a Japanese Tom Jones.

If you want to hear her in this video, this song may be the best! 鈴木愛理『Break it down』(Dance Shot Ver.)

wow real voices and real instruments!

PLEASE DO "SHOUT BABY" It is the most underrated performance on The First Take

A BOP. what a legend

Oh my god! Hello Project singers or ex singers are so underrated i am so happy that Airi gets visibility cuz qui is so talented you should check her solo preformances!

What a groove.

I'm hooked to your first take reactions because I love the first take so much! I have recommendations from this channel so take your pick :> - LiSA unlasting - Dish Neko - Yuuri's "Fry flower"/"Kakurenbo"/"Betelgeuse - KANA-BOON Maguro tanaguchi - Reona Anima - YOASOBI Gunjo - Cö shu nie Asphyxia

i love, Love is War such a good anime and this song is amazing too

I like the temple you speaking and how you express your feeling

I love how you are reacting to more Japanese music! Please react to 白日 (Hakujitsu) by King Gnu! It is a groundbreaking new form/genre of Japanese music and has over 350 million views in a span of just 2 years. Personally, I think that Hakujitsu is the most genius Japanese song ever created so far, so please enjoy it as well!

素晴らしい‼️

I don't know if anyone else has requested this, but I'd love to see your thoughts and reaction to "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" from the FFXIV FanFest 2021 Live Concert. It's more of a live performance for the pianist, Keiko, but they showed a lot of footage of Amanda Achen singing the vocals.

かぐや様の3期も鈴木雅之さんであることを祈る。 I love Kaguya！ 海外勢にも同士いないかな...

Lisa x Uru - 再会 is good too! Or ReoNa - Anima (Sword Art Online OST) as well! Those are pretty comfortable on the ears and you're gonna fall in love with them!

omgggg daddy daddy do 😍😍😍

鈴木雅之さんは長年活躍してるベテランですが、新人アニメソングシンガーの立場を楽しんだと言っていました。

this japan singer and the girld are the best in this nice duo - see the performance LOVE IS WAR OF THIS DUO

Ah, so nostalgic.

ive watched their first take video probably over 20 times because I watch it every time its recommended or shows up anywhere its so good

格好良き二人共👍

日本の誇りです😊

She should really try listening to aLIEz by Hiroyuki Sawano too, the vocal of the female singer is insanely good

I appreciate Masayuki Sazuki an unreasonable amount! I can ungaurdedly accept that he is cooler than I could ever begin to hope to be

He is 64 and still looking nice.

This girl explodes with charm. The guy is the living embodiment of charm.

Waiting for BEcause!!!! Anyways I always watch your reactions.

The end of your video was so nice, take your like kind woman.

Great opening.

If you loved Airi Suzuki here, you'd love her more on her video of her live singing "God Knows" from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

aaa sos una genia

cool!!!

He's also called the Big Newcomer [大型新人] of the Anisong industry!

I’m Japanese. This song is magazine of “Kaguyasamawa kokurasetai.” So it has many types. I want to hear you the original song. Thank you.

英語は あんまり解らないけど 絶賛してるのは伝わってきますよ！( *´꒳`*)b 私は30年くらい前から ［鈴木雅之さん］の歌が大好きです。

I know this video is quite old but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE look more into Airi Suzuki, che girl singing here. She's someone you rarely hear talked about but she's SO good. She's been a professional singer for almost 20 years at this point (she started young lol) and I can assure you, you won't regret looking into her.

he is the king of love song in japan..his voice is so romantic

6:36 I love how you couldn't help yourself but repeating the no no no :D

あなたが彼達をほんとに好きって事が　よくわかります

Funny you compared him to Tom Jones because I consider Masayuki san to be the Japanese equivalent of Tom Jones. Both of them are amazing gentlemen who still are capable of extraordinary performances despite their advanced years.

There is a song on the First Take that saved my life when I heard it for the first time. Mika Nakashima - boku ga shimou to omottanoha (on the First Take channel)

That MCR's Danger Days album on the background.

The first time I watched your video, and my attention immediately went to MCR's Danger Days album. You have one of the coolest music tastes in common with me 👍 G note 🔥🔥🔥
