Already Over Sessions: Episode 5 [Tokyo] - Mike Shinoda

"Already Over Sessions EP" // Out Now - mshnd.co/AO-Se...
"Already Over" // Out Now - mshnd.co/alrea...
"The Crimson Chapter EP" // Out Now - mshnd.co/crims...
In making "Already Over," I wrote and played all the instruments myself. But to play it live, I loved the idea of playing with a range of talented musicians who were all “locals.”
This is the first and only time we all played together.

sick slapping skills

[@matheusrodrigues8999]

This might be the best entry so far, Japanese people always take things to the next level. Also, loved to see a Fort Minor tune resurfacing. I hope Mike tours again, The Rising Tied needs to be performed live

[@KizaTheShaddow]

Bro they become the best at everything they do it’s crazy

[@JediShoalinVigilante]

Mike said that he eventually will tour again but he will put out more music first.

[@matheusrodrigues8999]

That's great news

[@Razorkvn]

Right.. best AO Session 🔥

[@Dave97Inc]

Yes and Mike should take Ryu and Takhbir with him as special guest act

not trying to disrespect the other musicians, but these are the best so far that Mike has played with, all are good though and very talented

[@prajnadeva]

Fun fact, all japan musicians youtube subs all added together will be around 3 millions ++

[@Louis1996_1]

Great comment

[@honusmom5144]

Amazing, loved this the best. MINA, Kazuki and Maiki are great. Had to laugh with Yomii because I remember his joke on Mike earlier, pretending not to know how to play the piano. Great job everybody. Be cool to have all 5 groups get together.

[@viasil.0865]

Genial, buen comienzo ❤❤❤

[@LinkinParkConnoisseur]

def the best session compared to the others

[@グランデ-c2w]

よみぃのお得意のピアノアレンジが、オリジナルとはまた違った魅力を引き出してて素敵👏💕 マイクもみんなも楽しそうにしてるなぁ、素敵なセッションをありがとう🥰

[@djdiegomarteens]

Sorry for the rest of the guys who was playing in the other lives before Tokyo … but this crew put the song in another level!!!!!!

[@alanoliveira6714]

L.A nailed it

[@ebertpimenta5905]

O mlk da bateria tava possuído!!!

[@chrisw443]

That piano just in the back hitting the melody was so good.

[@kristinabattles1955]

That piano just adds a depth to this piece honestly.

[@orderla8877]

Yeah it's beautiful, for them its norm.❤

[@mc-bu6bz]

マイキが叩いているってだけでもうれしいのによみぃまでいる 良くない訳がない

[@ashutosharyendu1241]

Mike is half Japanese, which makes this session "extra special" ❤️

[@fumi-fumin5547]

This piano makes this song more versatile

[@lpgiu]

this group is insanely good! Mike's voice keeps sounding better and better and that RTN piano intro gave me chills! my favorite AO session so far.

[@Rusli1659LPSoldier]

same, the piano just adds the a smoothing sound. I can't imagine if the violin strings and the piano blended together.

[@nakiacarmimancilla2916]

After watching all the Already Over Sessions, the Japanese are on another level, congratulations to everyone!

[@erwinsmith3198]

Well…there’s always some asians 😂

[@jaxxteem]

I liked the one where the girl was singin too

日本のポピュラー音楽ってテクニック信仰強すぎるとこが好きじゃなかったんだけど、なんかこれ見たらこれはこれで個性として有りだなと思えた 明らかに日本版が1番個性強い

[@TitoGrillo]

I vote for Mike touring with these guys!

[@testes9794]

このバージョンが一番それぞれのパートが分離しつつも絡み合ってて バンドマジックを感じるし洗練されている印象だった

[@Fl0d3r]

I appreciated the others but this one is probably the best by now. Japan people are on another level.

[@quixotichero6647]

This is easily the best version of this song.

[@joaniepeters2565]

I’ll tell you what.. Japanese players can capture that true raw American rock sound better than we can, they take it to a whole new raw level always full of crazy energy.. like your 15 years old and get to play in front of people.. but good

[@Official-OpenAI]

thats why Marty Friedman is in Japan lol

[@amytt1996]

Japanese musicians are just incredibly amazing, holy sheesh!

[@NOISREVIEW]

You can even tell mike was really into this session. He's enjoying this one

[@reinbald]

exactly - Tokyo and London are may fav's for the moment

[@Jelle-1106]

My favorite is that one of london because they changest it up a little bit but sticked to the same roots

[@AlexanderOdukha]

The level of preparation of participants and their skill level is astonishingly good. Folks were not afraid to spice up the melody while still keeping the main line intact. Definitely one of the best sessions so far. Kudos to all involved!

[@ライスマン-c7b]

夢見てぇなバンドだ…😂

[@emmavaria]

The entire band was great, but Yomii and Mina in particular were just KILLING IT. End to end. I'm in awe.

[@B4Him4ever]

I agree!

[@huynhcris]

These Japanese musicians are just on another level 🤯

[@carolinasosa4618]

This has to be A BAND themselves. Guys, listen, you ARE a band. Mike, hire them, make music with them out of LP, they have their sound and stuff by themselves.

[@問答無用-t2y]

Yea, LP instrumentals have never sounded this good.

[@Official-OpenAI]

They are already famous musicians. Internet fame, but still they probably make a living by just doing what they want.

@@Official-OpenAI Exactly.

[@りんご-f6f]

マイキもいるやん最高！！ ロック系なのにピアノどうなの？！って思ったけどすごく合っててびっくり🫢

[@IndraGunawan-eo4sm]

This one is incredible version. Japanese rock is on another level. The addition of classic piano, the gosh note on the drum, bass chopping ,the energy, and the techniques,, so great

[@justmyrandomstuff]

It's actually typically how Japanese would do it. This meshes very well together, is hyper stylish and very much deserving of getting this group together again for more of this synergy. The energy that flows from it is awesome and I bet that each musician must have gotten an enormous kick out of this!

[@prscustom24love]

よくぞこのメンツを選んでくれた！

[@lpfanatik]

So amazing!!! I'm really speechless... This session in Tokyo must be one of the best sessions until now! Already Over with piano was so magic, it gives a extra special vibe to the song, a new energy and breathtaking. And Remember the Name with more Rock was a really nice surprise!! Sugee!!

[@jahstreetlove]

Piano solo is HOT! 🔥

[@curtishaigh9211]

The piano part in the second verse is what the song needed, keep that without a doubt

[@volpe_lightsong]

Couldn’t have asked for a better conclusion to the sessions👏 skill + showmanship on the grand piano especially

[@jjason000123]

Thale piano and bass in this one goes crazy wtf, elevated the song to the next level

[@Igor_Kuba]

Кайф. Чистый кайф. Японцы обогнали и перегнали. Соглашусь со всеми, это действительно иной уровень - идеальный.

[@MisterChange-]

Japan Wins this Contest :D

that slaps and piano things looks like real japanese version, so far this the best ❤

[@tragos9414]

Japanese people have such a unique sense of music... unmatched.

[@alextorry4057]

This one was super cool! I love how the musicians instinctively put such a J-rock kind of spin on the whole song! this is definitely one of the standouts from these sessions for sure!

[@TakeTheLeepx]

Yes! It has this whole "anime sound"-energy going on. The added piano melody in the second verse was some straight up Final Fantasy magic too :).

[@Bengeljo]

The Tokyo Session was so awsome :0 The piano part and the guitar solo blew me away
