Camellia: History Of Rhythm Game Artists

[@Cametek.CamelliaOfficial]

I didn't know this guy has such a history. I was always thinking he just randomly spawned like a mob whatever, thank you so much for making this gigantic historical video about me, it's mega fantastic. let me mention 2 things: - I will never stop. - and it's all thanks to you. love ❤️

[@ava_noellez]

Hello Came UwU

[@rinnythe16th]

Thank you for everything, Camellia-san

[@popularloon2443]

Love

[@anotherguy3554]

make good music again please Camellia. Love u man

[@Corupxion]

we’ll continue to support you man 🙏

[@rinnythe16th]

Hello. Thanks for watching! Mistakes you should be wary of: -Please note there's an extra O in Exit This Earth's AtOmosphere! -It was not Bassdrop Freaks that was a song from that contest, but "ませまてぃっく♥ま＋ま＝まじっく！". Got them mixed up -Used 2021 EXCEED GEAR Footage instead of EXH footage for Sayonara Heaven -Pronunciation errors (said prix, BlackY and BEMANI wrong, have mercy)

[@Alwynfu]

Thank you for documenting Camellia's story. Do note that KAC is just read as the individual letters, not "kek"

[@petey5009]

Also, KAC is pronounced as K.A.C. not KAK

[@OlympusNix]

Camellia's first appearance on Alstroemeria Records was on Haunted Dancehall in 2011, before THE WORLD DESTINATION.

[@josefanon8504]

at around 19:50 you say alstroemeria correctly once and wrong the second time if my ears are working. but dont worry, the video was amazing.

[@lotepamera9271]

16:33 I am utterly blown away by that number of sounds. For Camellia to win that, the song must've been one of the best songs I'll ever listen to, period! So Camellia if you see this comment please find a way to resurface this track so we may witness its glory with our own two ears

[@rinnythe16th]

I was so confused when I saw that number lmao, such insanity. Also agreed, hopefully one day he restores it!

[@BGDMusic]

i want that pack now but i am hurting for fisk space anyway

[@gialocc]

Im glad his dedication and hardwork had lead him to this day

[@rinnythe16th]

Same!! Its great to see!

[@rodrigochayamiti9198]

Even thought he's basically one of the most well known rhythm games composer, he's still so kind, chill and down to earth with interacting with his fans, and that's what I love about him the most

[@necr0mancrr]

I think making the choice to focus on Camellia‘a early years was a good one, his recent growth has been really crazy so more and more people don’t really know much about his earlier work. Great video!

[@kuroc5116]

True: I only arrived around the release of Qyoh, so I missed a lot of stuff

[@Neofrost_]

at last the prophecy completed the Camellia: History Of Rhythm Game Artists was made

[@amezu3559]

Learning that Camillia specialized in Vocaloid at some poit made me very happy.. but... Can he try making a track with the vocaloid genre with his skill now? I want to see it shine! ^^;

[@hassan-i-sabbah]

The closest we have to that are the songs "Looking for Edge of Ground" and "Drag the Ground". You should check these two out!

[@Trinitex4893]

yes, absolutely check out "looking for edge of ground", it's amazing

[@amezu3559]

Thank you, i will search for em now

[@job-u6927]

@@hassan-i-sabbah Drag the ground being performed at Miku Expo 2021 too!!

[@job-u6927]

This makes me wonder if theres a possibility for Camellia to collaborate with Project Sekai. And yes, I know he isn't doing that stuff anymore, but if Sega/Crypton could commission Hachi/Kenshi Yonezu to make Miku's 10th anniversary song, then I think they can get out with this haha

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

There's an alternate universe where that one guy didn't ask Camellia to make him a theme song and Camellia only becomes an extremely good remix/cover artist, we truly live in the good ending in regards to this.

[@inxphy]

your channel will actually blow up dude. the amount of research and details shown here is remarkable. i have seen all of your "history of rhythm game artists" videos and the quality just gets better each video. :)

[@rinnythe16th]

Yooo appreciate that man! :D

[@aethersan_]

camellia is a lovely person! he follows me on twitter and liked my tweets every once in a while when i was still in the rhythm game community haha

[@shrub2071]

4:01 I've only once resonated with someone this much musically. When Camellia said this, I realized why I had been obsessed with his music for so long. While many other reasons may exist, the biggest reason is the unique, and rarely looping melodies found in his song. And when it does repeat, it only comes back stronger. I will never understand how a song repeating a melody or a line over and over again will be musically tasteful, but I digress. I enjoy minimal pieces like jazz or lofi however, but that's mainly for background noise. When i actually want to listen to something, loops are my biggest hatred.

[@deceptivecompactmemoryseal610]

Very interesting ride or more likely an amazing ride through his history Started getting requested a theme song on elementary Got interested in producing music Won prizes Got popular Now camellia is now done, who should we do next? Looking forward at REDALiCE or Laur

[@happytrix6167]

i love camellia's early vocaloid works and have been listening to the albums for years thank you for making this video

[@anta8416]

I discovered this man like 2 years ago with Nuclear star from crystallized and damn I don't regret at all, he literally introduced me to music in general, not only EDM. Learning all what he did to become what he is now is wonderful

[@FemboyLover_0]

Hey, what about Toby?? He is reaaaaally famous. He even collaborated with camellia. If you could put in Toby fox I will really appreciate

[@emeraldtrancy4633]

Camellia really sparked my taste in music. I listen to albums on my way home. He's also one of my entry points to Japanese music in general. I'm glad you showed his roots and its something fascinating to know about an artist. Btw, I hope you would also do history of music game producers outside Japan (M2U, ICE, Akira Complex etc)

[@TheWhiteShadowC]

oh hey, thats me over there at 0:03 :D casually chilling right next to camellia thanks for making this video btw it was really interesting seeing his progression in making music especially early in his career

[@trijinae2992]

Recently I've been simping for Camellia so much (even though I adore his music since 2013), watching his streams, on Spotify he's my top#1 artist this year. You dropping video on him is a pleasant surprise. Great job

[@diaquallo]

Camellia happens to be one of my favorite artists in the rhythm game world, like this guy happens to be the best goats of music respectfully in my rankings, from redalice's alive to usao's miracle 5ympho x. This man made me welcome to hardcore tano*c in the first place in my teen to adult years! Like I call this guy "the goat of every music I ever listened to". Like if I can compare to every song or remix, idk im in heaven whenever I Camellia, especially that sayonara heaven remix.

[@nerdofnerds1]

I clicked on this video out of curiosity, and I've got to say, a lot of questions have been answered and I've been given plenty to replace them with! I recognized the name from his Vocaloid days, since I've been delving deeper into weirder songs from the early days of the culture lately, and it's really hard to avoid SYSTEMATIC LOVE or Splatter Party popping up in those hunts. I actually came here with what seems to be the opposite of most folks' knowledge- I have no idea what's been going on recently (HE'S REALLY IN DELTARUNE???) but I fondly remember his superb Miku sounds. From looking around real quick, I know a handful of his instrumentals from stuff like Beat Saber, but I've never played any of those games outside of Vocaloid ones so I had no idea he was THAT well known! This video has definitely given me a lot of places to look for more good music :> Thank you for making it, and putting in the time to make it as informative as you did!

[@kisaragi-hiu]

5:07 "I tried to sing" is not really a challenge, it's mostly just the niconico community's way of saying a cover. The tag for covers is literally "I tried to sing" (歌ってみた). 9:17 That title can be translated into something like "looked at a pussy and my dick's now big". Seriously. (This is why the "mystery of life" line is ironically emphasized, I think.) I knew he made Vocaloid songs, but I didn't know his first Vocaloid song is a meme song…

[@LouChiefEr]

laur when? yeah there so many rythm game artists out there, and i waiting their HRGA version

[@kayparody]

Can’t believe camellia dropped an album when I had just turned 6 back in 2010…

[@speckr5235]

Your coverage over his early years was wonderful, even though I knew much about his vocoaloid years and after, your video is so intresting you had me watching until the end!

[@PeterYiffin]

This is great! A video on Feryquitous/An would be super cool. I've always wondered about their split persona

[@Seydeth]

yayyy finally it’s here. the video about my favorite music composer! also nice video (3:58 also I guess what happens on stage doesn’t stay on stage hehe)

[@nickelisblind]

"So how did you became one of the world's best rhythm game music composer" The guy who asked 10 y/o Camellia to make a song:

[@Sp3kanizer]

22:46 PENDUAL was from 2014 (predating the 2013 section you go into), but also I don't think Bassdrop Freaks was from a rhythm game competition -- IIDX doesn't usually do those. Timeline-wise I believe the song Camellia's referring to in the interview is ませまてぃっく♥ま＋ま＝まじっく！ for the SDVX II production confirmation competition, which ran from 2013-03-04 to 2013-03-25.

[@rinnythe16th]

Yo, made a small mistake and got the 2 songs mixed up, good catch!

[@arthurmarmocathala]

I think I might be one of the few westerners to really discover Camellia during his vocaloids days lol. But the first song of his I heard was a Miku song called 'Meteor Shower' which features a lot of the synths you mentioned here at 17:00 . Been a fan ever since :D

Literally can't skip a second of your videos. I truly hope you get a larger viewership and your platform grows. As a rhythm game enthusiast, I love learning new things about the artists whose songs I play so much. Granted, I only play osu! and the taiko mode, but I still love learning about games I've never touched in my life. Thank you for all of the research and hard work you've put into your videos. Keep up the good work, mate. Much love. Sincerely, W. S.

[@rinnythe16th]

Unfortunately, this is something that I recorded while I was in the meeting knowing it may be useful later, I'm not sure if the full interview is anywhere.

[@DJ_Akatsuki]

​@@rinnythe16th Aww, so you recorded only bits and pieces of that meeting? I pretty much just wanted to find the source/quote of Camellia himself talking about how long he can spend on each track. For instance; For how long has his work rate been around a couple days to a week per track, is this only recently or has he been that productive ever since f.ex. 2014 (the year of Dreamless, Sudden, diffraction AND the first Nanahira album?)

[@nekochaya5570]

"I wouldn't be surprised if less than 5% of the people that eventually come to watch this video even knew Camellia did vocaloid, let alone knew this album existed." Hi, it's me I'm the 5%! I found Cametek from SDVX, and I was (still am) in search of musicians with similar sensibilities to Nekomata Master, so I might as well check out this guy that did a nice remix of Sayonara Heaven, right? It turned out Cametek's vocaloid works scratched this itch just right, since Nekomata's influence was written all over multiple tracks from that period (like the synth!). I vaguely remember Honey Ginger Ale took a bit longer for me to track down though, and I never uncovered flow arrow (CD). Anyway, agreed with how Stance on Wave and the doujin works following it were when Camellia honed something truly his own, and the rest is history. (Btw, as a big fan of Nekomata I was happy when you mentioned him. I don't know anyone talking about Bemani artists in organized manner like this, so I take what I can get lol)
