Hey YouTube this is Uncle Momo’s music reaction Channel where I provide my views on talented artists from around the world both established artists and non-established artists and today we are going over to the first take and checking out and I Believe episode 405 and it’s start
The artist I believe is Takanaori um is it Nishikawa let me know about the pronunciations this song I believe is called free freedom in the description page it says naori um Nishikawa a versatile artist known only as a singer not only known as a singer but also for his skills
As an actor so he’s an actor singer um and a voice actor and a TV show host so he does a lot of things he will perform Freedom a a track written and produced by is it tedu no
It’s got Tetsuya Komuro is that is that the way how I pronounce the name let me know how how I pronounce the name I think I’ve got it right or I’m about 90% confident said I got it wrong um
As the theme song to mobile sweet um gandam seed of Freedom okay the latest installment from the popular anime series Mobile Suit um Gundam I’ve still got to get into this anime cuz I can’t I can’t find it on Netflix so what’s going on people please find give me the link so
Enjoy this one shot um performance by uh Takanori and Nishikawa as this Dynamic vocal saw to a remarkably deep and vast sound so what is you got deep vocals or something let me know well
I’m about to find out am I so without further Ado you know what we’re here for great vocabs and a damn good video audio music can you dig it So that was Takanori um NishiKawa I’m hope I’m pronouncing or maybe like 10% right
Maybe maybe song Freedom listen my G gave it out he left everything out the door and he went in wholeheartedly hardcore naked you know I’m still trying to figure out what that pipe thing was um
I think it’s a Vocoder but it wasn’t a Vocoder cuz you would have heard it so an auto tuna maybe I’m not too sure maybe a mic dampener because he’s got powerful lungs I said that straight
Away this built muscly guy comes in there and I thought like he there’s only one kind of um Genre style of music that that allows you to be that expressive with your with your mouth open wide that’s classically trained artist that’s those operatic people Lord you know those people right
And that’s the only where I’ve seen them and particular artists mainly female artists that Express themselves um like that on the first take I can count on a handful but uh no queen bee was very quite expressive but she deles it in a different way she wasn’t that she was she
Was bodywise she was body expressive his facial expressions expressive you know so there was a clear difference but it still led to the same kind of pipe but look you can’t deny this guy and look TV host so I’m taking when he’s a TV host he’s very elaborate with with his whole
With himself you know he feels the audience I mean he fills the stage um when he’s hosting I have no idea how he is as an um well he’s a voice actor so is that somebody that does it
In the you know the commercials where you know buy this product and blah blah blah and but you know like an um a narrator a narrator let me know about that I really sincerely do believe that his
Vocals will suit any heavy metal song any heavy metal so I’m crying out for any of you guys um to mind I think um wagi and wag Mama wag ah I can never wag wag wagakki there you go I think some
L a wagakki maybe um or bandmaid maybe um Lovebites by I don’t know maybe babyMetal will be too much for them and but somewhere on those kind of lines and I feel that he it’ll be absolutely amazing or
Just go and do a um collaboration with um Dimash Qudaibergen or something like that but yeah you can’t deny his presence that’s certainly one thing and for that reason freedom [Music] freedom

it's very hard to watch Gundam Seed , legally ~ is an alt take on the original gundam series, but Gundam Seed is very popular, one might argue it is the most popular compared to the original,
the movie Gundam Seed Freedom is kinda like 20th celebration of the SEED series,
currently, the movie in Japan is already the biggest movie ever for the franchise
Gundam Seed is on Crunchyroll.
Fun fact Takanori Nishikawa is 53 & has been in the music business for over 27 years.
Also had a side project rock/metal band Abingdon Boys School. On his own & with the band, the man has recorded around 20 tracks for Anime
He is too loud and breaks the microphone. So we set up a pipe-type microphone as a sub-microphone in case the regular microphone breaks. From Japan
