あなたの顔の大きな喜びの笑顔は素晴らしいです！ このスタイルの音楽は、メタルギターとシンフォニックサウンドを備えているため、西部ではシンフォニックメタルと呼ばれています。 ビデオに表示されている歌詞を信用しないでください。 それらのいくつかは間違っています。 バックグラウンドで実行されているコーラスは次のようになります... _My fall will be for you._ _My love will be in you._ _If you be the one to cut me, I'll bleed forever._ _My fall will be for you._ _My love will be in you._ _You were the one to cut me, so I'll bleed forever._
Hello Kamichika [Voice Channel] ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K+ audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. As I saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band. Hope you'll continue on this path. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) czcams.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/video.html "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) czcams.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/video.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) czcams.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/video.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) czcams.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/video.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) czcams.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/video.html "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) czcams.com/video/05eitd-EA6I/video.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) czcams.com/video/OvOD6xecph4/video.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) czcams.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/video.html "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) czcams.com/video/pVPTUEW1PEM/video.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) czcams.com/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/video.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) czcams.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/video.html "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) czcams.com/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/video.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) czcams.com/video/lTvYfLa4Wlk/video.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) czcams.com/video/wA44tjaP5n0/video.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) czcams.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/video.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) czcams.com/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/video.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) czcams.com/video/AN239Pbqbjo/video.html "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) czcams.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/video.html And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 czcams.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/video.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: czcams.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)

@@millerbeer01 Indeed. Our host understood very well the context of the symphonic metal genre, and how a singer like Floor can flourish here. I am convinced that he will continue to explore, and I am glad for that, because he is not conditioned by our European culture, so his opinions are "out of the box" for us. His observation about "the heat" in music is truly original. Edit: I remember that in an interview (at the launch of the "Northward" project I think) Floor said that all the good things in her life and career came from the north.
I still think its a shame to call her a Valkyrie.. Since the meaning of a Valkyrie ( the real one, not the false hollywood version ) Is a dark creature of murder, betrayal, making deals out of greed and hate. dealing in souls and fates.. its not really flattering at all.. a bit like calling someone a troll ( not internet troll, but an actual troll ) The hollywood version of a great warrior in armor flying over the battlefield is not what a Valkyrie is at all.
@@mattijohansen3471 Maybe so, but words and descriptions do change over time. I understand your argument, but if the connotation in 2021 is positive, then I don't see a problem. If it expresses superiority (maybe even to male characters), outworldliness, strength and beauty, then I see no problem. Many words that have been used in the past have changed in their use.
@@kimacronym2521 Not how it works. I get that is what people excuse it with. But people still follow the Ase faith where Valkyries is a part of. so the true meaning of them is still in use. And just because people say the earth is flat, does not make it flat. it is still round. Or if you invent a new car, and decide to call it a plane, it is really not a plane. it is still a car. Words have a meaning, and the word Valkyrie is already used to describe a thing.. But again, I know I am not gonna change the minds of people, most does not care about history, and most does not care to change the things they have become set in or decided on.. However the point stands. calling her a Valkyrie is not a nice thing, so if anyone admire her they should not do it. just the same as if anyone called her a troll or I dont know, a witch a demon.. whatever. A lot would not be happy.
@@mattijohansen3471 I understand your point, and from a philosophical view you are correct. I am not sure if the world is as intellectual as you would like it to be though :-) In my experience half the world or viewers have very rudimental education....and much simpler things are difficult to convey...examples: Climate Change manmade, women's rights per se (See Texas law), or usefulness of vaccination against Covid. If you already find 50% of a given population to argue on these points, how would you expect them to understand the deeper meaning of "Valkyrie" ?
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish ! ありがとうございました, this was really good reaction video. Enjoyed. This type of music is called symphonic metal. It is not originally from Finland, but Nightwish has brought it to the attention of the general public and they are its biggest representative. It is also said that Nightwish is Finland's biggest export product in the field of music. But they are also big inside Finland. When they released their latest album, it was also reported on the main news program of Finnish TV. (YLE main news on TV, YLE is like NHK in Japan.) I think a lot of artists or bands don't get that honor ... ;) Symphonic metal means you hear the symphony orchestra in the background of the band. Nightwish has used the London Symphony Orchestra and two different choirs (adults + children) in the background since 2004 (Fifth Album). If you’ve seen the movie The Lord of the Rings, there was the same symphony orchestra in the background music. Since that year, Nightwish has always used the same orchestra. In a live situation, a symphony orchestra and choirs are played on the backing track. Here, too, you hear the symphony orchestra and choir in the background. Most Finns really like the forest. I myself belong to that group. The best thing I know is to sit by a quiet lake next to a forest without hearing any man-made noise. The only sounds are the sounds of nature. There my heart rests in peace. I am one with nature... Greetings from Finland!
Nightwish Army reporting from Italy. Welcome into the rabbit hole... I admit that watching Nightwish & Floor Jansen reaction has become an addiction...
This particular subgenre is called "Symphonic Metal". If it has peaked your curiousity, also check out *"Within Temptation - Angels"* and *"Epica - Storm the Sorrow"* Very much in the same vein, you' love it.
Hello Kamichika. Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. Watch out for the Nightwish Army coming up.
Kon’nichiwa Kamichika. Nice to hear a reaction from Japan. Floor Jansen is indeed a versatile singer ( for me the best in the world). She studied opera and is vocalcoach. She sings opera, rock, metal…it doesn’t matter, Floor sings it all. Please react on her covers. Start with the Phantom of the opera and Adagio. Greetings from The Netherlands
There is a whole new musical world waiting for you to be explored. Each song of Nightwish is unique and they will keep surprising you. Just use Gabriels list as map & compass, you won't be disappointed.
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland. Symphonic metal and heavy metal are completely different genres. You will love Nightwish. 😊 Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊♥️🤘🤘
Howdy 'neighbor' from across the pond. Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting in. Always great to see people enjoying music and glad you enjoyed this Nightwish composition also. Look forward to other reactions and content you'll be sharing with us.
There are many, many different styles of heavy metal. Folk, death, pirate, melodic,the list goes on and on. Thank you for being open-minded and giving this a chance. Great reaction. Cheers from North Carolina, USA.
The Metal Gods looked down from the Heavens and spoke these words to all of mankind. We have blessed you on this day of 02/21/1981 ( Floor’s Birthday) an Angel of Metal and she will be known as Floor Jansen. Also known as the Queen of Metal or the Valkyrie Goddess.🌎🌙
Thank you for stating the NOT so obvious that you could hear that Floor has a noble voice a noble heart a true heart. You can see that she loves her audients and what she does for a living.. her open arms let the audients in her warm smile let us all know her and her voice..!
Metal music has about 30 different styles and more substyles. Nightwish belongs (mostly, but they do many styles) to Symphonic Metal (London Symphony Orchestra and choir). Metal singers are usually more "schooled" because they rarely stay in one genre and have to "fight" loud aggressive instruments. Floor is probably the most versatile female singer in the world (proficiently sings in 10+ styles and 6 languages).
I really liked your comment that people in the Colder Northern Hemisphere probably need music to warm them up ( Henze Nightwish/Symphonic and Hard Rock), and countries closer to the equator use music to cool them down..( Henze reggae, bossanova..) Anyway, enjoy your Nightwish/Floor Jansen journey. Gabriel is probably here to show you the way.
That's ridiculous because most latin rhythms are very upbeat, with fast paced and sensual dances and oftentimes very raunchy lyrics. So quite the opposite of cooling, I'd say.
Very interesting commentary my friend. The contrast in the heavy rhythm of the guitars, the ethereal keyboards, and the symphonic instruments behind Floor's beautiful and powerful voice is perfection. the extreme dynamics that Nightwish uses in their songs adds a powerful and dramatic effect as well. Tuomas (Keyboards) is the main composer for Nightwish. He loves the forest and all of nature. He grew up in a very small Finnish town surrounded by forests and lakes. Nightwish is a very different kind of heavy netal band. They play music that has beautiful vocal melodies and is actually happy instead of aggressive and angry. I think you will love many of Nightwish' songs. It really helps to have Floor Jansen, the Dutch valkyrie queen of symphonic metal as the lead singer. her voice make everything sound wonderful. See you soon I hope? Great reaction. Loved it. Be well.
Your thoughts about heat and cold affecting people's style of music is very interesting. I also think that light has an influence; those nordic countries have very long winters and short summers, and very short days in winter. I think that influences the music to a darker style too.
"The combination of this Heavy Metal groove & Floor Jansen's long tones is very pleasing".... CONGRATULATIONS, you've just had your 1st Floorgasm. We all remember our 1st time!!!!
Hello Kamichika ! Like you said : you fill like you are in a forest, but you have just seen the first tree. Just walk around and look at all the different sort of trees the Nightwish's Forest can bring you ! And to not be lost (but don't be afraid, it's not the Aokigahara's forest, lol) follow the recommandations of Gabriel ! Sayonara !
Nightwish! Yes! You will be in for a treat if you keep on discovering their music. I mean, literally, every Nightwish song is a 'new discovery' unlike most band out there. Heavy metal, symphonic power metal, ballad, you name it ...each and everyone on the band is talented individual complimenting each other in so many ways to define their musical style as they see fit to deliver the waves of emotion beautifully in every song. Keep it up! Ouenshitemasu!
Hello, welcome in the World of Symphonic Metal. Very good with your subtiles. And Floor is QUEEN FLOOR. And Tuomas (Keyboarder) the best Composer and Poet of my Lifetime. (Sorry Arjen and Devin hihi).greetings from northern Germany. Domo(? ) in german Danke
@@christophschmedes5975 hihi, hat mir Google gesagt. Domo ist mehr für Freunde. Arigato mehr für Respect. Kann auch total falsch liegen. Traue niemals dem google translater. Hihi 🤘
It is because Floor, and the whole band, the composition is not just 4 hords (as used to be in metal), guitars awasome, the drums deserves appreciation, keyboard, everything is on the top, even over the top
yep she is just a shining star ...who likes hard rock ...and Nightwish was the lucky one ..to bring her whit their great music to us ...to enjoy cry shiver and touch your heart
Thank you, Kamichika, for your fine reaction. If you like your heavy metal 🤘 to feel good, watch “Storytime” from this same 2013 Wacken concert. It’s a joy to hear and see.
Very thoughtful and enjoyable reaction! A couple of the most notable words spoken: "…when I was listening to this song… I felt the image of the forest..." Great image! Your description of Floor's singing is one of the best articulated I've come across: "I feel something kind of noble or noble-hearted. I feel a kind of strength in her voice that is a little different… Her singing voice has such power." You've started a very interesting journey should you choose to pursue it; you'll find Nightwish songs to be not so much written as composed with a complexity that is fascinating to experience. My life is richer for having found this band. Follow Gabriel's list, at least for the first four or so songs, it's very intentional in that it will expose you to a good range (note: Romanticide is one of their hardest metal songs but still so very melodic in its harshness which suits the story of a love gone really bad and of the need to get out of that relationship; and the ending?! Prepare to be left speechless). I've subscribed to hear more of your unique perspective on both Floor and Nightwish.
I really like the way you review these songs, the way you play through them with little comment the first time and then more detail afterwards. I also like listening to your perspective as it is different to many others. Best wishes from the UK.
Great reaction K. and greetings from Finland. The northern division of the Nightwish Army reporting. More Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen please.
Welcome to NW Kamichika Voice Channel, you just met our 6ft Queen Floor Jansen (Dutch) 3rd and current frontwoman of the Finnish Symphonic Metalband NW. She is incredible. 10 Months earlier she came as a substitute for Anette Olzon, who became sick in the middle of a world tour and had to go to the hospital. NW called Floor and she said yes. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary about that) and did that on the flight from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, where she joined the band on their way to Seattle for the next concert. GLS wasn't even on the list, but because she loved this song so much, NW put it on the list. The last part of the song the previous singer(s) didn't do, so she made it her own, with as result at Wacken 2013 this MASTERPIECE. When she belt so high, you got shivers or goosebumps we call that a FLOORGASM. Congrats with your first one. If you want to react to more of them go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for now. Greetings from the Netherlands South Division and enjoy the ride with us.
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. There you saw Floor's ordinary day at the office 😅. And this live performance is one of the most epic ever. Of course there are metal genres that are not that beautiful, but there's something to everyone. And there's are also darker Nightwish songs (lighter too). This was an excellent reaction. Thank you and greetings from Finland! ⛄🌲🎅😎👍
I really enjoyed your reaction to this, thanks for uploading it. I really liked some of your poetic observations, my favourite was how Floor sounds like a goddess in the middle of a battlefield, brilliant observation.
Loved your reaction to Nightwish and Floor Jansen. Tuomas (the keyboard player) writes most of the songs, sends the demo's to the rest of the band, who add their input before the songs are finalised. He also writes the symphonic parts of the music, sends it to Pip Williams at the London college of music who arranges it and the music is then pre-recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Metro voices choir. We call him the metal Mozart. If you would like to have a glimpse of other metal singers then listen to Ayreon's The Day the World Breaks Down. Ayreon is a collaboration. Music written and produced by Arjen Lucassen, he can call on metal talent from all over the world and this song has 11 repeat 11 of the worlds best metal singers. It will give you a taste of what is available from metal.
I wonder if you look into Rammstein, an industrial metal band or more specific the genre called "neue deutsche Härte" (translated roughly in "new german hardness"). Every life concert is fantastic. I recommend the the live version of "Ich will", "Sonne", "Mutter", "Rammlied", "Ich tu dir weh" and "Du hast". Everything else could be shocking, if unprepared. It was joked in the metal scene that half of the annual production of pyrotechnics were used by Rammstein, the other half were produced by Rammstein.
Nightwish is not band of Floor Jansen. Nightwish existed way before her joined and if the original members want, it can theoretically exist even if she decide to leave (but most likely it would be the end). Thank you for your beautiful reaction.
Ghost Love Score聴いてくれてありがとうございます。 日本人の方でこの曲のリアクション動画を公開してくれたのは神近さんが初めてです。 私は日本語以外、外国語が全くわからないので、今まで外国の方のリアクション動画を見ては、物足りなさを感じながら日本人のリアクション動画を心待ちにしていました。 神近さんのリアクションを見ながら、初めてこの動画を見たときに全身に鳥肌が立つような感覚を覚えたのを思い出しました。 Shallowの時に、フロールの声を聞いただけでロックをやってるはずだって言ってたのが、さすがプロだと驚きました。 また、今回の動画の中で、戦場に立つ女神みたいと言われていたのが、私の中で感動しまくりです。 これを機にNightwishの曲をたくさん聴いてくれるとすごく嬉しいです。Storytime、Ever Dream、The Poet And The Pendulumあたりを特にオススメします。 また、Shallowを歌っていたBeste Zangersという番組の中で、ヘンクポートという歌手とPhantom of the Operaを歌っていますが、圧巻なのでこちらもぜひチェックしてみてください。 これからも神近さんの動画のアップを楽しみにしています。よろしくお願いします。
Hello Kamichika, there are lots of metal bands that fit exactly into the mental image you have/had. But Nightwish and a few others go for a softer, more melodic approach. I will be very happy to see you discover more of these awesome bands. Have fun!
Hello Kamichika, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive). this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires). in the meantime, from the same concert (wacken 2013) I suggest you to react to: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream"
Nightwish Army from Finland here! I really recommend you to listen the greatest show on earth IN TAMPERE LIVE, and the poet and the pendulum (do the back round check for the story)
Great reaction! 👍🤘 Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁 Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (D3 to F6+). Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today. The other vocalists are - Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals. Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals. Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera. The other band members are/were - Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland) Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland) Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland) Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom) Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on CZcams where she regularly posts covers of songs. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen. The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is extremely varied. The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set. Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible. Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb. Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Storytime, Ever Dream, Song of Myself and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken). Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance. Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version. Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way. Prepare for the Nighwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘
Thanks for your reaction 👍 but as already mentioned below...this is Nightwish and Floor just happens to sing in rhe band😉 Nightwish is a family, full of talent not just Floor. Please check more songs of them and you will understand😊👍thank you for not pausing the first time!!🤩 the base player Marko is an ausumn singer too!❤
Hello Kamichika, is not really heaviy metal. Its symphonic metal a mix between elements of heavy metal and classical european music other examples are dreamtheater or epica. epica is a lttle bit harder.
I like the way you first listened to the song to experience the full enjoyment and then repeated it with your comments. Floor is my favorite singer and Nightwish is my favorite band. They play soft, medium and heavy. This was medium. There are many genres of metal, but Symphonic is the most pleasing. Floor has also been doing covers during the pandemic in her home studio. Her cover of Frozen II, Into the Unknown is excellent. Actually, everything she sings is excellent. 😄🤘 Into the Unknown: m.czcams.com/video/dlPoCe5CwsE/video.html
Domo arrigato! (I hope I remember it correctly from my teens, when I did jiu jitsu to the green belt.) My Sensei, Simon van den Nieuwendijk was trained in Japan, for black belt slips. There is a Dutch documantairy about that. He sadly passed away due to cancer, while there was nobody living more healthy than him. His successor wasn't as defending of women as Simon. When a couple of fellow femal students and I complaint of a guy that took the oppertunity to feel under our cloth he kicked the guy out. I never forget him!
Hi! Welcome in the world of symphonic metal, welcome in the world of Nightwish! 🤘 They are from Finnland and started in 1996, Tuomas the keyboarder and one of the founder is the mastermind of the band, he write about 95% of all songs. "Ghost Love Score" is the perfekt song to start your Nightwish journey, every song is different and if you like what you see/hear there is so much more to discover! Floor is an unbelivible singer with a range from grawl to opera and the best female singer i've ever seen! I hope you will go deeper in the "Rabbit hole"! 😉 If your next song should sound in the way like this one than do "Nemo" next, a little more heavier than do "Storytime" or if you will see an really heavy song than do "Romanticide" or "Song of myself", all from this Wacken 2013 show. But the heaviest NW song is also always beautiful because Floors voice and how she sings it, you will be surprised in how many ways she can sing! Because many ask she's Dutch, 6.1 feet tall and the fans call her the northern valkyrie godess! I hope we see some more Nightwish reactions from you! If you would ask me i would say do "Storytime" from Wacken 2013 or "Sleeping Sun" from Tampere 2015 next. The 1st is a metal song but not one of the really hard songs and the 2nd is a very beautiful song with wonderful singing, i love Floors voice in that song! I send you greetings and my best wishes frim 🇪🇺Vienna🇦🇹! Keep care!
@@christophschmedes5975 Servus in den hohen Norden zurück! Las ich auch schon sehr oft, ja und Tuomas ist ja auch ein großartiger Komponist, immerhin schrieb oder komponierte er so ziemlich alle Nightwish songs. Wenn das manche unbedingt so sehen wollen von mir aus gerne! Schönes WE! 🤘
@@wernergatterer2953 ich höre Nightwish seit 2005 also mehr als 15.jahre und ich bin immer noch dabei es ist egal ob man 15 oder 50.is Nightwish is keine Music fashion Nightwish is ein live style genauso wie Metall ein Livstyle is 😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@christophschmedes5975 da geb ich Dir 100 pro recht! Das erste mal hörte ich sie 97, 98 kaufte ich irgendeine CD wo ein paar Songs oben waren, 99 dann Angels falls first und Ozeanborne gemeinsam. Damals waren sie noch ganz anders, klangen ganz anders, klar, allein schon wegen Tarja, aber die sind jetzt schon so lange im Geschäft und Tuomas erfindet sich immer wieder neu mit genialen Songs und ich bin ebenfalls ein treuer Fan bis heute!
@@wernergatterer2953 ich kenn sie Alben auch hab sie aber leider nicht weil zu spät angefangen sie zu hören ich weiß aber das Toumas Tarja gefeuert hat .Und sie war Empus und seine beste Freundin. Empu u d Tarja hatten den selben Musik Lehrer aber hätte Toumas Tarja nicht gefeuert dann währe Nightwish jetzt nicht da wo sie sind ok Anett war nett aber mit Floor haben sie die beste Sängerin erwischt die sie haben konnten Tarja hat einen Golden Mikro s.Stander stehen gelassen By Floor ist es vieleichr Platin und Marco hat hauch riesige Boots stehen gelassen mal schauen ob Jukka Koskinen da rein passt aber ich finde es schade wenn die leute Marco und Jukka vergleichen was mit jukka in zukunft bei Nightwish Passiert zeigt sich dann
Enjoyed your appreciation of Floor, our Valkyrie Goddess with Nightwish. Finnish symphonic metal, #1. Floor is from the Netherlands and classically trained. She sings opera, pop, metal in Dutch, English, German, and Spanish. A former vocal coach. Joined Nightwish in 2012 after former singer became ill.

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot fans too. The song is "Winds of Transylvania" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
Next song, Greatest show on Earth concert from Tampere and the video isn't over 'till it's over...Thanx for the English subs...and Japan also have amazing heavy metal bands like Lovebites / Swan song ( Asami's voice is "sugoi") Gyze from Sapporo / Oriental Symphony ( I normally don't like growling but this band does it really good), Unlucky Morheus / Black Pentagram ( Fuki's voice is very special) , Galneryus (Angel of Salvation ( live) .. Sho is Mister Clean Voice... Versailles / Faith and decision ( live) Kamijo? has a very interesting voice... Yousei Teikoku has a very special voice....and so on... maybe Scandinavia and Japan has something in common about Heavy metal... on purpose I left out X-japan, Show-Ya, Ningen.Isu, Shonen Knife and other bands that are awesome from Japan.
The Japanese are defenitely the coolest people on earth! ( Floor isn't from here naturally). Japan and Asia has a full music scene us westerners know very little about, but there's always room for Floor.
Arigatou gozaimasu Kamichica san! I really love your theory about music heat! 💜 That might actually have some truth. I believe it. Love from the Netherlands

Hello Kamichika [Voice Channel] ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K+ audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
As I saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band. Hope you'll continue on this path.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

That being said, I will add here the message left the other days by some old fans of the band,

I think this channel is going to be very interesting, in a good way.
@@millerbeer01 Indeed. Our host understood very well the context of the symphonic metal genre, and how a singer like Floor can flourish here. I am convinced that he will continue to explore, and I am glad for that, because he is not conditioned by our European culture, so his opinions are "out of the box" for us. His observation about "the heat" in music is truly original.
Edit: I remember that in an interview (at the launch of the "Northward" project I think) Floor said that all the good things in her life and career came from the north.
@@gabriel.bardac Northern Holland she meant maybe. Sweden is a great country that she's living but buying a beer is too expensive
@@fixxa6455 :) Thanks for this valuable information, I may need it someday if I get there :)
'Like a goddess standing alone in the middle of a battlefield' Ok, you're now officially one of us!
"Like a goddess standing alone in the middle of a battlefield " that is why her nickname is the Valkyrie 😁
Beautiful description though, so fitting !
I still think its a shame to call her a Valkyrie..
Since the meaning of a Valkyrie ( the real one, not the false hollywood version )
Is a dark creature of murder, betrayal, making deals out of greed and hate. dealing in souls and fates..
its not really flattering at all.. a bit like calling someone a troll ( not internet troll, but an actual troll )
The hollywood version of a great warrior in armor flying over the battlefield is not what a Valkyrie is at all.
@@mattijohansen3471 Maybe so, but words and descriptions do change over time. I understand your argument, but if the connotation in 2021 is positive, then I don't see a problem. If it expresses superiority (maybe even to male characters), outworldliness, strength and beauty, then I see no problem. Many words that have been used in the past have changed in their use.
@@kimacronym2521 Not how it works. I get that is what people excuse it with. But people still follow the Ase faith where Valkyries is a part of. so the true meaning of them is still in use.
And just because people say the earth is flat, does not make it flat. it is still round.
Or if you invent a new car, and decide to call it a plane, it is really not a plane. it is still a car.
Words have a meaning, and the word Valkyrie is already used to describe a thing..
But again, I know I am not gonna change the minds of people, most does not care about history, and most does not care to change the things they have become set in or decided on..
However the point stands. calling her a Valkyrie is not a nice thing, so if anyone admire her they should not do it. just the same as if anyone called her a troll or I dont know, a witch a demon.. whatever. A lot would not be happy.
@@mattijohansen3471 I understand your point, and from a philosophical view you are correct. I am not sure if the world is as intellectual as you would like it to be though :-) In my experience half the world or viewers have very rudimental education....and much simpler things are difficult to convey...examples: Climate Change manmade, women's rights per se (See Texas law), or usefulness of vaccination against Covid. If you already find 50% of a given population to argue on these points, how would you expect them to understand the deeper meaning of "Valkyrie" ?
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish !
ありがとうございました, this was really good reaction video. Enjoyed.
This type of music is called symphonic metal. It is not originally from Finland, but Nightwish has brought it to the attention of the general public and they are its biggest representative. It is also said that Nightwish is Finland's biggest export product in the field of music. But they are also big inside Finland. When they released their latest album, it was also reported on the main news program of Finnish TV. (YLE main news on TV, YLE is like NHK in Japan.) I think a lot of artists or bands don't get that honor ... ;)
Symphonic metal means you hear the symphony orchestra in the background of the band. Nightwish has used the London Symphony Orchestra and two different choirs (adults + children) in the background since 2004 (Fifth Album). If you’ve seen the movie The Lord of the Rings, there was the same symphony orchestra in the background music. Since that year, Nightwish has always used the same orchestra.
In a live situation, a symphony orchestra and choirs are played on the backing track. Here, too, you hear the symphony orchestra and choir in the background.
Most Finns really like the forest. I myself belong to that group. The best thing I know is to sit by a quiet lake next to a forest without hearing any man-made noise. The only sounds are the sounds of nature. There my heart rests in peace. I am one with nature...
Greetings from Finland!
Nightwish Army reporting from Italy.
Welcome into the rabbit hole...
I admit that watching Nightwish & Floor Jansen reaction has become an addiction...
This particular subgenre is called "Symphonic Metal".
If it has peaked your curiousity, also check out *"Within Temptation - Angels"* and *"Epica - Storm the Sorrow"*
Very much in the same vein, you' love it.
Hello Kamichika.
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army coming up.
Kon’nichiwa Kamichika. Nice to hear a reaction from Japan. Floor Jansen is indeed a versatile singer ( for me the best in the world). She studied opera and is vocalcoach. She sings opera, rock, metal…it doesn’t matter, Floor sings it all. Please react on her covers. Start with the Phantom of the opera and Adagio. Greetings from The Netherlands
Never has "Metal" or "Symphonic Metal" sounded so Beautiful, thus : " Beautiful Metal"
metal is beautiful ......
@@mandje2002 That depends, i like the ugly stuff quite a bit, both production and content wise.
There is a whole new musical world waiting for you to be explored. Each song of Nightwish is unique and they will keep surprising you. Just use Gabriels list as map & compass, you won't be disappointed.
Yes Gabriel is ouer Living Nightwish Lexica 😁
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland.
Symphonic metal and heavy metal are completely different genres.
You will love Nightwish. 😊
Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed.
😊♥️🤘🤘
Howdy 'neighbor' from across the pond. Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting in. Always great to see people enjoying music and glad you enjoyed this Nightwish composition also. Look forward to other reactions and content you'll be sharing with us.
There are many, many different styles of heavy metal. Folk, death, pirate, melodic,the list goes on and on. Thank you for being open-minded and giving this a chance. Great reaction. Cheers from North Carolina, USA.
thx for the reaction, your insight and the subtitles !!! and pls. stay safe...
The Metal Gods looked down from the Heavens and spoke these words to all of mankind. We have blessed you on this day of 02/21/1981 ( Floor’s Birthday) an Angel of Metal and she will be known as Floor Jansen. Also known as the Queen of Metal or the Valkyrie Goddess.🌎🌙
Thank you for stating the NOT so obvious that you could hear that Floor has a noble voice a noble heart a true heart. You can see that she loves her audients and what she does for a living.. her open arms let the audients in her warm smile let us all know her and her voice..!
Metal music has about 30 different styles and more substyles. Nightwish belongs (mostly, but they do many styles) to Symphonic Metal (London Symphony Orchestra and choir).
Metal singers are usually more "schooled" because they rarely stay in one genre and have to "fight" loud aggressive instruments. Floor is probably the most versatile female singer in the world (proficiently sings in 10+ styles and 6 languages).
I really liked your comment that people in the Colder Northern Hemisphere probably need music to warm them up ( Henze Nightwish/Symphonic and Hard Rock), and countries closer to the equator use music to cool them down..( Henze reggae, bossanova..)
Anyway, enjoy your Nightwish/Floor Jansen journey. Gabriel is probably here to show you the way.
That's ridiculous because most latin rhythms are very upbeat, with fast paced and sensual dances and oftentimes very raunchy lyrics. So quite the opposite of cooling, I'd say.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!
I'm here for the Nightwish reaction! Love seeing people discover this awesome band.
Very interesting commentary my friend. The contrast in the heavy rhythm of the guitars, the ethereal keyboards, and the symphonic instruments behind Floor's beautiful and powerful voice is perfection. the extreme dynamics that Nightwish uses in their songs adds a powerful and dramatic effect as well. Tuomas (Keyboards) is the main composer for Nightwish. He loves the forest and all of nature. He grew up in a very small Finnish town surrounded by forests and lakes. Nightwish is a very different kind of heavy netal band. They play music that has beautiful vocal melodies and is actually happy instead of aggressive and angry. I think you will love many of Nightwish' songs. It really helps to have Floor Jansen, the Dutch valkyrie queen of symphonic metal as the lead singer. her voice make everything sound wonderful. See you soon I hope? Great reaction. Loved it. Be well.
Commenter from every culture keep calling her a Queen, or a Goddess, and you are no exception. She truly is meant to be treated as such.
Your thoughts about heat and cold affecting people's style of music is very interesting. I also think that light has an influence; those nordic countries have very long winters and short summers, and very short days in winter. I think that influences the music to a darker style too.
"The combination of this Heavy Metal groove & Floor Jansen's long tones is very pleasing".... CONGRATULATIONS, you've just had your 1st Floorgasm. We all remember our 1st time!!!!
Thank you for your good and refreshinf reaction ♥️ Stay safe 👋🇫🇮🇯🇵
Hello Kamichika ! Like you said : you fill like you are in a forest, but you have just seen the first tree. Just walk around and look at all the different sort of trees the Nightwish's Forest can bring you ! And to not be lost (but don't be afraid, it's not the Aokigahara's forest, lol) follow the recommandations of Gabriel ! Sayonara !
thanks Kamichika, loved your reaction and as an added bonus got to hears the whole song not stopped. thanks
Nightwish! Yes! You will be in for a treat if you keep on discovering their music. I mean, literally, every Nightwish song is a 'new discovery' unlike most band out there. Heavy metal, symphonic power metal, ballad, you name it ...each and everyone on the band is talented individual complimenting each other in so many ways to define their musical style as they see fit to deliver the waves of emotion beautifully in every song. Keep it up! Ouenshitemasu!
Hello, welcome in the World of Symphonic Metal. Very good with your subtiles. And Floor is QUEEN FLOOR. And Tuomas (Keyboarder) the best Composer and Poet of my Lifetime. (Sorry Arjen and Devin hihi).greetings from northern Germany. Domo(? ) in german Danke

It is because Floor, and the whole band, the composition is not just 4 hords (as used to be in metal), guitars awasome, the drums deserves appreciation, keyboard, everything is on the top, even over the top
yep she is just a shining star ...who likes hard rock ...and Nightwish was the lucky one ..to bring her whit their great music to us ...to enjoy cry shiver and touch your heart
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. It’s a lifetime journey to humanity 🙏🏻❤️ Greets from Finland 🤘🇫🇮
Floor jansen the Queen of metal ♥is a classic trained and professional voice coach with at least 20 years experience 😀
Thank you, Kamichika, for your fine reaction. If you like your heavy metal 🤘 to feel good, watch “Storytime” from this same 2013 Wacken concert. It’s a joy to hear and see.
Very thoughtful and enjoyable reaction! A couple of the most notable words spoken: "…when I was listening to this song… I felt the image of the forest..." Great image! Your description of Floor's singing is one of the best articulated I've come across: "I feel something kind of noble or noble-hearted. I feel a kind of strength in her voice that is a little different… Her singing voice has such power."
You've started a very interesting journey should you choose to pursue it; you'll find Nightwish songs to be not so much written as composed with a complexity that is fascinating to experience. My life is richer for having found this band. Follow Gabriel's list, at least for the first four or so songs, it's very intentional in that it will expose you to a good range (note: Romanticide is one of their hardest metal songs but still so very melodic in its harshness which suits the story of a love gone really bad and of the need to get out of that relationship; and the ending?! Prepare to be left speechless). I've subscribed to hear more of your unique perspective on both Floor and Nightwish.
I really like the way you review these songs, the way you play through them with little comment the first time and then more detail afterwards. I also like listening to your perspective as it is different to many others. Best wishes from the UK.
Thanks for reacting! - Nightwish Army
Amazing. This the first time that I have understood Japanese.
Great reaction K. and greetings from Finland. The northern division of the Nightwish Army reporting. More Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen please.
Love the separate run-throughs one to watch and gather your thoughts and one for commenting on those thoughts. Thank you!
Very nice reaction video. Greetings from Helsinki, Finland.
Welcome to NW Kamichika Voice Channel, you just met our 6ft Queen Floor Jansen (Dutch) 3rd and current frontwoman of the Finnish Symphonic Metalband NW. She is incredible. 10 Months earlier she came as a substitute for Anette Olzon, who became sick in the middle of a world tour and had to go to the hospital. NW called Floor and she said yes. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary about that) and did that on the flight from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, where she joined the band on their way to Seattle for the next concert. GLS wasn't even on the list, but because she loved this song so much, NW put it on the list. The last part of the song the previous singer(s) didn't do, so she made it her own, with as result at Wacken 2013 this MASTERPIECE. When she belt so high, you got shivers or goosebumps we call that a FLOORGASM. Congrats with your first one. If you want to react to more of them go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for now. Greetings from the Netherlands South Division and enjoy the ride with us.
You should definitely watch her and Henk of Beste Zangers doingg Phantom of the Opera!!
Arigato!! That was a really nice reaction to this awesome song! I wish you a lot of fun going furter into the rabbithole that is Nightwish! 👍
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. There you saw Floor's ordinary day at the office 😅. And this live performance is one of the most epic ever. Of course there are metal genres that are not that beautiful, but there's something to everyone. And there's are also darker Nightwish songs (lighter too). This was an excellent reaction. Thank you and greetings from Finland! ⛄🌲🎅😎👍
I really enjoyed your reaction to this, thanks for uploading it. I really liked some of your poetic observations, my favourite was how Floor sounds like a goddess in the middle of a battlefield, brilliant observation.
This never gets old!
Greatest musical genre on the planet. This is your alpha vocalist.
Love the reaction! You're very likeable and I hope you listen to more Nightwish! Subscribed! :)
Love and respect from England, UK :)
Yes Beautiful. Thank you for your reaction. Greetings from nwAse Sweden
Hello Kamichika. Great mellow reaction. Nightwish are masters of distributing feelings through their music. Buckle up for the journey😃
Loved your reaction to Nightwish and Floor Jansen. Tuomas (the keyboard player) writes most of the songs, sends the demo's to the rest of the band, who add their input before the songs are finalised. He also writes the symphonic parts of the music, sends it to Pip Williams at the London college of music who arranges it and the music is then pre-recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Metro voices choir. We call him the metal Mozart.
If you would like to have a glimpse of other metal singers then listen to Ayreon's The Day the World Breaks Down. Ayreon is a collaboration. Music written and produced by Arjen Lucassen, he can call on metal talent from all over the world and this song has 11 repeat 11 of the worlds best metal singers. It will give you a taste of what is available from metal.
I wonder if you look into Rammstein, an industrial metal band or more specific the genre called "neue deutsche Härte" (translated roughly in "new german hardness"). Every life concert is fantastic. I recommend the the live version of "Ich will", "Sonne", "Mutter", "Rammlied", "Ich tu dir weh" and "Du hast". Everything else could be shocking, if unprepared. It was joked in the metal scene that half of the annual production of pyrotechnics were used by Rammstein, the other half were produced by Rammstein.
神近さん、オランダに住んでいるルイ(オランダ人)です。素晴らしい反応です！一年半前の私と丸切り同じです。私は元々ジャズのファンで、ヘビーメタルに対して大きな違和感がありました。今は、Floor とNightwishにハマって仕方ない！Nightwish軍団が既に表れて来ましたね、お楽しみにしてくださいませ♪。日本に6年間住んでいたので日本語でのやりとりは、大丈夫👌ですよ。
Nightwish is not band of Floor Jansen. Nightwish existed way before her joined and if the original members want, it can theoretically exist even if she decide to leave (but most likely it would be the end). Thank you for your beautiful reaction.
Nice reaction. You really seemed to enjoy that. I listened to your "China Town" and really liked it. You have a wonderful voice!
Hi Kamichika...welcome to the amazing sound of Nightwish. Hope you react to more of their music. (🌺Aloha from Hawaii🌺)
Ghost Love Score聴いてくれてありがとうございます。
日本人の方でこの曲のリアクション動画を公開してくれたのは神近さんが初めてです。
私は日本語以外、外国語が全くわからないので、今まで外国の方のリアクション動画を見ては、物足りなさを感じながら日本人のリアクション動画を心待ちにしていました。
神近さんのリアクションを見ながら、初めてこの動画を見たときに全身に鳥肌が立つような感覚を覚えたのを思い出しました。
Shallowの時に、フロールの声を聞いただけでロックをやってるはずだって言ってたのが、さすがプロだと驚きました。
また、今回の動画の中で、戦場に立つ女神みたいと言われていたのが、私の中で感動しまくりです。
これを機にNightwishの曲をたくさん聴いてくれるとすごく嬉しいです。Storytime、Ever Dream、The Poet And The Pendulumあたりを特にオススメします。
また、Shallowを歌っていたBeste Zangersという番組の中で、ヘンクポートという歌手とPhantom of the Operaを歌っていますが、圧巻なのでこちらもぜひチェックしてみてください。
これからも神近さんの動画のアップを楽しみにしています。よろしくお願いします。
Hello Kamichika, there are lots of metal bands that fit exactly into the mental image you have/had.
But Nightwish and a few others go for a softer, more melodic approach. I will be very happy to see you discover more of these awesome bands.
Have fun!
hi
I love this reaction, because you let the band play and let her sing.
No interuptions...
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮🤘
Great reaction. Thank you.
Very nice to see you enjoying nightwish. I remember long ago listening to sukiyaki , by sakamoto.
Hello Kamichika, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive).
this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
in the meantime, from the same concert (wacken 2013) I suggest you to react to: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream"
Welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal... Nightwish Army, Virginia division checking in.
Nightwish Army from Finland here! I really recommend you to listen the greatest show on earth IN TAMPERE LIVE, and the poet and the pendulum (do the back round check for the story)
Thank you so much for the subtitles! Cool video, too. 😎
A great reaction to our favourite goddess of the rock stage, welcome to the Nightwish army!
Great reaction! 👍🤘
Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁
Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (D3 to F6+).
Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today.
The other vocalists are -
Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals.
Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals.
Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera.
The other band members are/were -
Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland)
Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland)
Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland)
Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues
Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom)
Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present
Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on CZcams where she regularly posts covers of songs.
The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen.
The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is extremely varied.
The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set.
Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible.
Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb.
Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Storytime, Ever Dream, Song of Myself and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken).
Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance.
Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version.
Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way.
Prepare for the Nighwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘
Wellcome to Nightwish's world 💙🤘
Great reaction ! For sure the beginning of an epic journey !
awesome reaction mate! enjoy ;)
Great reaction and finally you hear her. ❤❤
Great song, great reaction 🤘
Thanks for your reaction 👍 but as already mentioned below...this is Nightwish and Floor just happens to sing in rhe band😉 Nightwish is a family, full of talent not just Floor. Please check more songs of them and you will understand😊👍thank you for not pausing the first time!!🤩 the base player Marko is an ausumn singer too!❤
Glad you got into this concidering you not to heavy metel music. This sucks you in and you get hooked, bbery niece reaction!! More Nightwish please!!!
please do nightwish "the poet and the pendulum live at wembley" next....would love to see your reaction, thank you!!
Nice reaction Kami-san, I could see you really enjoyed, Nightwish and Floor are special...
Hello Kamichika, is not really heaviy metal. Its symphonic metal a mix between elements of heavy metal and classical european music other examples are dreamtheater or epica. epica is a lttle bit harder.
Thank you for your reaction.Stay Save.
I like the way you first listened to the song to experience the full enjoyment and then repeated it with your comments. Floor is my favorite singer and Nightwish is my favorite band. They play soft, medium and heavy. This was medium. There are many genres of metal, but Symphonic is the most pleasing. Floor has also been doing covers during the pandemic in her home studio. Her cover of Frozen II, Into the Unknown is excellent. Actually, everything she sings is excellent. 😄🤘 Into the Unknown: m.czcams.com/video/dlPoCe5CwsE/video.html
Domo arrigato! (I hope I remember it correctly from my teens, when I did jiu jitsu to the green belt.) My Sensei, Simon van den Nieuwendijk was trained in Japan, for black belt slips. There is a Dutch documantairy about that. He sadly passed away due to cancer, while there was nobody living more healthy than him. His successor wasn't as defending of women as Simon. When a couple of fellow femal students and I complaint of a guy that took the oppertunity to feel under our cloth he kicked the guy out. I never forget him!
Hi! Welcome in the world of symphonic metal, welcome in the world of Nightwish! 🤘 They are from Finnland and started in 1996, Tuomas the keyboarder and one of the founder is the mastermind of the band, he write about 95% of all songs. "Ghost Love Score" is the perfekt song to start your Nightwish journey, every song is different and if you like what you see/hear there is so much more to discover! Floor is an unbelivible singer with a range from grawl to opera and the best female singer i've ever seen! I hope you will go deeper in the "Rabbit hole"! 😉 If your next song should sound in the way like this one than do "Nemo" next, a little more heavier than do "Storytime" or if you will see an really heavy song than do "Romanticide" or "Song of myself", all from this Wacken 2013 show. But the heaviest NW song is also always beautiful because Floors voice and how she sings it, you will be surprised in how many ways she can sing! Because many ask she's Dutch, 6.1 feet tall and the fans call her the northern valkyrie godess! I hope we see some more Nightwish reactions from you! If you would ask me i would say do "Storytime" from Wacken 2013 or "Sleeping Sun" from Tampere 2015 next. The 1st is a metal song but not one of the really hard songs and the 2nd is a very beautiful song with wonderful singing, i love Floors voice in that song!
I send you greetings and my best wishes frim 🇪🇺Vienna🇦🇹! Keep care!

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan?
The band is call "Lovebites"
They all The Beautiful Queens metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal.
And they have a lot fans too.
The song is "Winds of Transylvania"
Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
Next song, Greatest show on Earth concert from Tampere and the video isn't over 'till it's over...Thanx for the English subs...and Japan also have amazing heavy metal bands like Lovebites / Swan song ( Asami's voice is "sugoi") Gyze from Sapporo / Oriental Symphony ( I normally don't like growling but this band does it really good), Unlucky Morheus / Black Pentagram ( Fuki's voice is very special) , Galneryus (Angel of Salvation ( live) .. Sho is Mister Clean Voice... Versailles / Faith and decision ( live) Kamijo? has a very interesting voice... Yousei Teikoku has a very special voice....and so on... maybe Scandinavia and Japan has something in common about Heavy metal... on purpose I left out X-japan, Show-Ya, Ningen.Isu, Shonen Knife and other bands that are awesome from Japan.
The Japanese are defenitely the coolest people on earth! ( Floor isn't from here naturally). Japan and Asia has a full music scene us westerners know very little about, but there's always room for Floor.
yeah.. the metal scene in japan is "Sugoi", but a dark cloud is that Miho left Lovebites....
Arigatou gozaimasu Kamichica san!
I really love your theory about music heat! 💜 That might actually have some truth. I believe it.
