Composer REACTS 😱 MADE IN ABYSS - VOH (Emotional Damage!)

[@ethandescoto1569]

I am the person that recommended him this song and i’m very glad I did. It is truly so beautiful and in my opinion dominates all of the songs emotionally and connectively in the OSTs in Made in Abyss, If you would like Atlas i can recommend you some more Made In Abyss OSTs that i have analyzed and are my favorites. Thanks! 😊

[@cojay_19]

It's absolutely my favorite, but it's not one I would recommend to listen to out of context, you know? Hearing it first in the show is such an incredible and emotional experience. I had to take a few minutes to process it afterwards 🥲

[@zagy5807]

Man, Belaf's lullaby was awesome the first time I heard it. It ties perfectly with the credit scene and shiit i rarely watch the credit scene but the music made me stay.

[@blackhoundrise8431]

Made in Abyss has some of the best OST i have ever come across. the vocals and symphony and composition. i think i read somewhere the vocals in some songs of this OST are just mash of words from varied languages. i think a famous throat singer also appears in the group OST for Made in Abyss - Uyanga Bold. without the anime and Kevin's amazing music, i never would have heard of her own music.

[@ethandescoto1569]

i’m thinking of recommending Uyganda Bold or Juriomoh Mutation

[@blackhoundrise8431]

@@ethandescoto1569 I need to listen to Juriomoh. Thanks for mentioning them.

[@AtlasBenighted]

I couldn't find the lyrics for this song, so I just sang by phonetic imitation basically

[@blackhoundrise8431]

Lol I thought Juroimoh was a singer. It’s part of the Made in Abyss soundtrack. Listened to that… 👀👀👀👀👀👀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯😢💥💥🤯🤯

[@kali_kali_kali_]

Bit late to the party but i believe (and thats from memory so idrk) that Uyanga Bold contributed to Tozo Hanoline. The only song i'm semi sure that is an actual constructed language is Hanezeve Caradhina. Even the title Hanezeve Caradhina has a semi-guessable meaning. These vary throughout fans but my guess is that it'd literally translate as "Wish for the abyss" or "Wish of abyss" (Caradhina is almost certain to mean abyss due to context. I've seen that consensus quite a lot). And Hanezeve as "wish", i have this from Transcendence and Hanezeve. "Transcendence" "to live beyond one's body" is the entire arc of Bondrewd. And it plays once that arc is revealed to the crew. Then, follows "Hanezeve", which shows Prushka bonding with Riko and telling her her wish. The entire key character point of Prushka is her wish. Her hope to one day explore the abyss. In that same sense, "Hanezeve Caradhina" "Wish of abyss", could be a nod to the call of the void. A wish, a calling from down in the abyss. The entire focal point of the anime. And since Hanezeve Caradhina is such a prominent song in the anime, surely it is deeply intertwined with the anime itself

[@SilverGin13]

VOH was my most listened to piece in whole 2023, glad to see others listening to this masterpiece too.

[@hangry3102]

The scene during this song... probably the most poetic heart shattering scene in anime for a long time.

[@fennikk2569]

Gaburon... he will always be remembered, his final words to Faputa destroyed me for weeks.

[@TheSchokodragon]

It's amazing how on point Atlas is with feeling out the themes of the scenes based on the music. This piece is about longing and loss alright. Without directly spoiling: imagine the unspeakable suffering of the person closest to you saves your life and everyone else's. But they keep suffering more and more pain. You could try to stop this madness at anytime but you just can't find the courage, the agency. You sit, watch and blossom as they keep enduring their personal nightmare, until you go hollow. And you don't even know where to start to apologize. This is what this song conveys. Criminally underused in the show, too! Some parts were never used! Takeshi Saito is a brillant vocalist and deserves all the praise.

[@AtlasBenighted]

Thank you!

[@hago66]

Ohh this series is gold, the singer is precious. He also sings in another song earlier from the series, around episode 1-2. Song is called Hanazeve Caradhina and I strongly suggest listening it some time. Edit: I noticed you already did a video on it, my apologies. :)

[@sinbad63]

The singer is Takeshi Saito. He began his singing career in 2017 and has since then performed theme songs for several anime series and video games. One of his most notable works is "Hanezeve Caradhina," which is the opening theme song for the anime series "Made in Abyss." The song became popular not only in Japan but also worldwide, and many fans praised Saito's vocal performance in the song. Aside from "Hanezeve Caradhina," Saito has also performed theme songs for other anime series, such as "BanG Dream!" and "The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of The Commandments." He has also released his own original music, including his first single "Another World" in 2020. Saito has a unique vocal range and style, and his music is often characterized by its emotional and uplifting melodies. He has gained a significant following in Japan and among anime and video game fans worldwide. I love him and I'm so happy I got to hear him in person.

[@Codebluesituation]

Takeshi has actually been active since way before 2017. He's been doing this since he was a teenager i believe. & "another world" ? are you referring to 「地球」 ?? If so, thats not his first single, bc like i said he has been active for a long time and has lots of other songs and whole projects as early as 2010-2011

Descending into the Abyss poses the risk of totally losing your life, or worse, your humanity. There is a profound sense of loss among the characters the deeper they go. Its also shocking how powerful and rule breaking the Abyss is. Cant wait for the next season/film.

[@cojay_19]

[@olivier5251]

The introduction of the sythetic elements at evoked visions of overwhelming power/gravity bearing down. Like standing close to the sun. A running theme in made in abyss music in my opinion. As similar feelings arise for me in tomorrow and trancendence and hanezeve. All very "man versus the overwhelming power of nature" feeling songs

[@AtlasBenighted]

Absolutely!

[@pellen101]

The synths and distortion, as I interpret it, is the abyss itself not Bondrewd. The abyss is a encompassing, massive, omnipotent organism almost. It is ever encompassing, monumentally big, terrifying, corrupting but beautiful and it is the beautiful madness of the abyss that creates that distortion in a lot of the songs as it does to characters minds in the manga/anime. It is so many of these traits in the series to the point denizens of this universe call it “God” or even replace “God”. In this song in particular, it’s mourning, rage, grief, despair etc but at the end of the day you must go on further into the abyss regardless of your value to find what you truly yearn for hence the distortion near the end. Just imagine trying to compose music for what “God” sounds like. In this context, it sounds like this.

Yeah, could be!
