She sang this at her live stage 3D debut at 3rd Holofest in March and absolutely blew everyone's mind. It was one of the highest moments from the entire concert.

Alice&U in Japanese (Aris&U) Ayunda RISu and U (all of you) This song she write herself for risuners ...

Risu is amazing. You noticed the two cards near the beginning and wondered whether it had something to do with her names origins, not quite the origin but it refers to the fact that Risu often streams with two different personalities. Which one goes by Ayunda and the other Risu. Ayunda uses a low voice and is what most of this song is sang in, with Risu's higher voice being used right at the end (The lore is that Ayunda is a witch which inhabited Risu's body, which they now share. The cards at the start have a picture of a witch hat for Ayunda and a Squirrel for Risu). That said the lore is not a big thing in her streams, simply that she uses a different voice depending on how she is feeling.

You were actually not wrong about the combination of ideas/two characters, since Ayunda is a witch that to escape prosecution, merged with her squirrel familiar (Squirrel in Japanese is risu). This is all official lore btw. And it is a nice explanation to her voice range, since her high pitch voice is Risu, while her much lower voice is Ayunda. It's a bit similar to how Moona is the Moon Goddess while Hoshinova is the person she blessed.

Ayunda Risu is indeed a squirrel, and she is an amazing singer! It really feels she’s showing her love and appreciate for her fans (Risuners), and I felt that! She never disappoints with her insane vocal range!

her low note is just for teasing us, and when we enjoy the low note she hit us with the high note

Risu is an incredible singer, honestly beyond words. She’s mostly an unknown still because she was held back a lot by her IRL circumstances in 2021, but she confirmed recently that she’ll be able to work on music a lot more this year, so this is the perfect kicking off point. She went through a lot of emotional turbulence the past year, something she couldn’t share with her fans as much as she wanted (I can only tell you a bit) but she’s always said her fans are her light when she’s at the end of her rope. This was her way of telling us she’s going to be okay.

Risu is easily top 10 Hololive singers, she is up there with Kanata when it comes to voice range and technique. She is an amazing artist.

Another funfact: Risu wants to name herself Alice since its a common Fanstasy Protagonist name but she's felt there's already a lot of vTuber named after it, so she's choose Risu.

Risu is hidden gem in hololive

She has 2 voice (personality) in her character. Her deep voice : Ayunda And 'cheerful' voice : Risu (last part of the song) +When ayunda change her voice to risu, it made me cry - myfirsttimelisteningtoAlice&u

I was looking through some reviews of this song because i like this kind of content and once again you're the best out there man. Most of them don't really look into the rhytm and everything that makes Risu a amazing singer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing the work of others and I don't mind the ocasional scream in the middle of the song, but I personally like more your calm vibes and analysis. Keep up the good work ;) and hope you'll react to Kronii's song that should be out next(sadly it got delayed for a while)

'Ayunda' is spelled exactly like how it is, similar with Japanese spelling. And yes, she's from Hololive Indonesia like the rest of the girls from previous K/DA cover that you mentioned (minus Calli). These three girls in that song also happened to be the monster singers in their branch (although all of ID are at least decent at singing). Reine is a very versatile singer that eats all genre (also a great rapper), Moona has a beautiful voice with a hidden weapon of powerful western diva-style belting (hopefully she would show it in her next OG song), while Risu has extremely broad voice type, range, and techniques. She also has hidden weapons like her rock-style belting that you mentioned in your last comment, but she very rarely sings and shows it -- partially because of reasons that she tries to express in the middle part of this song. Thankfully just like hopeful notes in the end of this song, she should be able to utilize her beautiful voice more now.

Waited to finish a watching a few other of your reactions to other members' songs, and all in all, it's just beyond amazing what they do, really. Whether it's certain lines or entire songs, a lot really provides some emotional impact. The more time goes on, I can't help but find their music is incredibly inspiring, and some of it provides much needed motivation in one way or another. Mumei's and Risu's songs being great examples of that imo. Mumei's song feels like it sparks a sense of wanderlust and curiosity to try new things whenever able, pushing through difficult times that may come along the way based in part on how some of the Japanese lyrics are translated. Risu's on the other hand is just mind blowing with the vocals, and you can really feel she put her heart into the lyrics and singing. Also Idk about anyone else, but when listening to it, Risu's song also ends up making me wanna sing along to it whether I'm in the mood for that or not lol. She's got quite the powerful singing voice on display with this.

Yes Risu making her original in the waltz tempo...She always have great attention to details when it comes to music.

thanks for your reaction!!!!! i really like you able to react into the instrumental part and how her singing

Loved your commentary on the song and especially the message at the end. I hope Risu can see this!

Just some extra info: She's Ayunda Risu from Hololive's Indonesian branch. Bahasa Indonesian is her native language, but she also speaks excellent English and Japanese. All three languages were used in this song. The song's rhythm can throw some people off, as it's in a 3/4 time signature with a waltz feel instead of the typical 4/4. Risu has an incredible vocal range spanning several octaves easily. I think the only Hololive member that might have a more impressive range is Amane Kanata from the Japanese branch. Risu is well known for having "two voices": Her "Ayunda" voice - which she uses for most of this song - has a heavy, darker tone. The last ~50 seconds of the song, she uses her "Risu" voice, which has a lighter, airy quality to it.

this song give me shiver every time man.... amazing

Risu is from Hololive ID

Risu, along with Moona and Iofi, is from Hololive Indonesia 1st generation (Ollie, Anya and Reine are ID 2nd gen). As you might have guessed, her answer is in english, bahasa indonesia and japanese She has an amazing vocal range. Like Moona's original, this song is a love letter for her fans

Just discovered this song today, and it's just like the day I discovered Stellar Stellar. I've listened to it at least 20 times today, in the form of the original MV, multiple live performances, karaoke streams, multiple reaction videos like this one, and even watchalong reactions from other Holomems watching her singing live and losing it over her voice. I'm gonna burn myself out on it way too fast but I can't help it.

I will be honest, I knew Risu was a good singer. I knew her voice was great. But when I heard her at the HoloLive 3rd Fest, it felt like something else. I was blown away, and then blown all the way back, and then blown away AGAIN.

Yoo i've been waiting for your reaction

Can't believe that it has been 2 years since this absolute masterpiece drop and it's still amazing as ever

thank you so much for the reaction really appreciate it😆

Risu is hidden gem...

this is mystical songs, iam blessed😇

I just found this video and THIS is indeed reaction, i like it.

Risu is in Hololive ID she is in the same gen as Moona and Iofi of Gen 1 of Hololive ID

初めて聞いたときは震えました..

The song is in 6/8 that’s why it was probably rhythmically confusing

I hadn’t heard a song like this in a long time. Twenty years ago female idols and idol groups in Japan had two or more of these vocally unique songs in their repertoire. Very few if any made it onto anime sound tracks where most foreigners were exposed to Japanese pop music. Internet radio was popular back then and it was how I was exposed to these beautiful complex vocals that I had only heard from Japan. Some of her fellow Hololive members have expressed how difficult it would be for them to “cover” it. To me it’s nostalgic.

Risu is one of my fav Hololive singers 2nd to Suisei.

Risus amazing. Love her so much

Found this at Risu's favorite time of year.

Early gang! (Though I’ll technically be late for the mumei reaction) risu is from Hololive’s Indonesia branch.

the song describe her worries as a vtuber on early days and how she deals with it. her vocals definitely one of the best in holopro by the way,Moona just released her new original song,high tide. it gonna blow your mind

Risu has one of the best vocal ranges in Hololive. If not the best. Her and Enna from Nijisanji are both ridiculous. Also she's very chaotic and such a treat to watch.

hi i like your reaction its rare to see the reaction from musician point of view if you think this is awesome, u must hear her perform this Live on stage during Holofest Day 2 just oouple days ago in front full pack stadium and tenth of thousand more online, she went all out and awed everyone present, left many people speechless when they first listening to her, this song is unique to Risu the lyric the behind story, the melody, even her fellow Holosinger praise her and said it is one tricky and difficult song to master. Moona tried to sing it during her 1 mil sub selebration but even ahe struggle with this song

well i can understand from your POV, but on risu's side i think she write this down full with emotions that's why some parts is like she shout, its shouting her feelings that she can only tell us a bit so many unconveyed feelings that she can only shout it out into some words. i'm glad i watch her performance in 3rd hololive festlival concert, she's just stunning, its like she steal the whole stage.

Cool thing is if you take the first letter of each line it spells out (ayunda risu hololive id)

You finally realize how chaotic Risu really is. x)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the rhythm a pretty straightforward 3/4 time signature? Actually might be 6/8, but should be one of those?

It's blow my mind how can mumei cover have more viewers than this,i really love mumei but this og is better than mumei, risu og definitely top 5 original hololive song,risu voice is amazing like moona but risu is underrated...

👍.

Yeah Risu best Squirrel 🐿️ can sing pretty decent. the cards at 4:33 (Hat) might be her Ayunda side and Squirrel side is Risu, she goes back and forth between them on stream.

More than the lyrics, the song was basically written to flex her vocal range. 😂

yeah how

Alice in Japanese read as ARisu. Kinda like Ayunda+Risu

React new song Ayunda Risu "SING OUT" 🙏

Sasuga Celine Dion of HololiveID

i like u reac

She closed the song as Risu

Dang, Alvin the Chipmunk grew a lot.

4:30 you arent exactly wrong.. That's Ayunda and Risu, She have versatile pitch in her voice, She call the high pitch girl as Risu, and she call the low pitch girl as Ayunda, In this song, she begun to sing as ayunda and later on (15:25) she switch with risu, and in the end (15:57) you will realize both sing together.. PS: its just lore, its a same person, and no she dont have 2 personality, just a character lore..

If you think of each best as being subdivided into 3 everything makes sense. I'm not sure if this qualifies as 6/8, but that's what my instincts want to say. Keep in mind I'm not a musician.

From the Calli's song breakdown into Hololive's Music react. The rabbit hole really suck you in

I recently heard she refused solo concert show offer from the Hololive agency because she wanted to spend more time streaming with her fans instead ? is that true ?

Ayunda Risu still best singer. Change my mind.

Risu is good did you know that calliope and taku inue have colab and make a song
