I had the pleasure of meeting the singer in person when I was freelancing as a translator and I told her directly I love her Hibike Euphonium song. I'll never forget that day.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Wow that is epic. I am jealous. how long have you been a translator?

[@Tvanon]

I only work as a translator for a couple of years. I'm in a different line of work now, even tho I still understand Japanese.

[@AlexLing]

I overheard her rehearsals of the opening for Violet Evergarden in the line outside of the back door to themain event hall back in AX 2017 which probably made me one of the first 100-ish people who heard this song.

[@jewa3051]

You had the opportunity to talk with TRUE? Damn I envy you so bad

[@georgethemonkeydrummer5598]

[@jomsburg]

My endless love to Kyoto animation and Naoko Yamada for one of my favourite show

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Yeah the show is really good

[@Ebhen1]

I totally agree! The magic combo of KyoAni and Yamada-san! Few things can get better! 🤩

[@nucleargandhi2709]

As a band geek, it pleases me to no end that they recorded wind orchestra versions of the OPs and EDs for this series. Loads of good music out of this show.

[@jomsburg]

Even forgetting that the main genre is drama, this anime shows a very carefully respect towards music. The way how characters breathe while they playing, the way how they located in orchestra, how Taki controls their performance - all this things makes deep immersion in music I'm a beginner musician (drummer), so I can't judge for sure, but all "Hibike! Euphonium" series is masterpiece for sure btw my favorite anime of all time - Liz to Aoi Tori (also sry for my bad english, not my native language)

[@k-ondoomer]

Liz is such an excellent film. It's got such a nice indie / Arthouse vibe

[@germanguy4476]

Hibike Euphonium and it's spinoff movie Liz and the Bluebird are absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for season 3 next year

[@padalee8406]

I always liked the TV version over the full version but could never musically describe why. Thank you for articulating it! This is one of my favorite shows and my second favorite after K-On! from KyoAni. Been loving the reaction commentary on Patreon!

[@rench.212]

Hibike such an Amazing the Animation is Beautiful and Perfect, the music all sound good and the story is wonderful, this anime speaking in spiritual for people involved in music.

[@bolillo997]

There’s actually a full version of the opening without the vocals, it’s pretty good.

[@krfz41]

Actually every Hibike Euphonium opening / ending song has an orchestral version, but they preferred to use them for the theatrical releases. This song has two orchestral version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5abkKRopceSlZo, and with vocals kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ2YgWZ_g7KHia8

[@4rtiphi5hal19]

man i didn't know you watched hibike euphonium, I gotta see your ep 5 reaction to the marching band part

[@aoyamard]

Important to note that this source we're listening to here is a non-official fan-made mix of the TV Size OP soundtrack and the actual full DREAM SOLISTER song. (They mentioned it in the description but in Japanese.) Only the TV Size one of the two has the 16s intro so it must be the anime team who mixed it in (which also makes there 2 different composers in this). The intro is specifically there for a last episode recap at the beginning of a Hibike episode and the big drum hits lead to the start of the OP movie - I'm personally more convinced than not considering the flow of the content this mix it's fitted into. The official versions are located here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZfCm31vmdWWjM0 (Full song MV) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2rbaKpjr7GZZqs (TV Size soundtrack)

[@Bakapooru]

@5:20 It's just an anime opening, but it's also another revenue stream. 😛 I hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Season 3 next year.

[@mammothVT]

This is easily one of my favorite animes ever

[@jothamheystee]

The movie version is by far my favorite. I highly recommend it. Probably one of my favorite openings of all-time.

[@rizkymahendra7936]

Please listen to Crescent Moon Dance, its actually a song they (the band in the anime) played in season 2

[@araragisenpai4088]

Omg Hibikeeee! Such a good anime about music ♥ All my thoughts to the ones we lost to the tragedy of 2019.

[@bajirot]

very rich sound of a full band, great op for a great anime

[@Cappuccino102]

You are on time watching the anime since they announced that season 3 will happen next year-ish! hopefully you'll continue watching it and also the movies are amazing, just like any other commenters said, Lis and the blue bird is so good

[@Exzeed_TH]

Yeahhhh Dream Solister is here~~~~🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Lirika1914]

one of my favorite anime ever❤

[@maxfaberg128]

The refrain of the OP 1 catches me everytime off guard. Amazing. The problem with the OP is the prolonged version. The shorter OP mix of the actual show is fine though. Btw how do you like the actual Crescend Moon Dance composition that they perform as a band?

[@dietskweek4272]

I´m fully with your assessment. What I like about the Hibike franchise is the way they show good, bad, and better orchestral musicianship within the series. For a good "intro", have a look at the first minutes of "Liz and the Blue Bird".

[@tokugawashigeshige8862]

No need to feel defensive about your criticisms; we're here for your opinions so it's all good. Given your background, it makes sense why you'd wish the song went in a less generic J-pop direction. That's honestly a perspective I'd never even considered before, especially when you said that maybe they didn't even need a vocalist. So few anime openings do that, it'd probably be a big risk when it comes to their music sales, unfortunately. Much more profitable to get a popular singer or band so that the music and the anime can cross-promote each other.

[@jewa3051]

Sound euphonium is my favorite anime of all time and the fact that you were a school band director makes me wanna watch your reactions so bad! I hope you can react to the second opening as well. That's my favorite anime opening OAT as well😅

[@RicardoTuong]

I'm still waitting for the day that Tony reacts to Sword Art Online Ops

[@d_d1721]

Some animes with openings not so standards are: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju - both openings (1 & 2) Mushi shi - The sore feet song Mushi shi Zoku-shō - Shiver Ikoku Meiro no Croisée - Sekai wa Odoru yo, Kimi to Serial Experiments Lain - Duvet Hellsing - Logos Naki World Selector Infected Wixoss - Killy Killy Joker

[@chayanneenjoyer6461]

You know, there's just orchestra versions of both openings and endings for hibike euphonium, just search "name of the song + wind orchestra" and it should come up on YT, if you don't know the names just search for the op & ed and you'll see the names, I think just the second opening "soundscape" doesn't come with just the instrumentals but the other 3 do so yeah, pretty good

[@k-ondoomer]

This is a stretch but what would it take for you to go over the op of season 2 for k-on? Either one is filled with crazy tight rhythm and key changes. Excellent video I also appreciate your comments about the pitch correction. As a musician all these little details are interesting to dissect in the context of a music anime

[@elijahlew]

man you gotta react to all of the Openings from this show they are sooo good!

[@d_d1721]

There are anime openings without vocals, or at least with different vocals: ELFEN LIED - Lilium BACCANO! - Gun's & roses BLACK LAGOON - Don't Look Behind PARANOIA AGENT - Yume no Shima Shinen Kouen AKATSUKI NO YONA - opening 1 THE TWELVE KINGDOMS - Juuni Genmukyoku HAIBANE RENMEI - Free bird TEXHNOLYZE - opening - Guardian angel

[@detectivemittons9020]

Hibike is a great show. Totally agree that this intro isn't quite what I would have hoped of this anime. The fill into the piano is pretty nice through the super energy filled section before. I just wish it was better spaced as you were hinting towards ^

[@ahmadmaulanairfanudin3274]

Oh my god, finally

[@pattetuohoshijane3146]

Thank you for this review at a most appropriate time, as KyoAni has risen again from that sad incident four years ago, and the sequel film, "Ensemble Contest Arc," will be released this month. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYGmoGiwbJyGqtE

[@blackknife7777]

The Intro = Mario kart😅

[@pulp-tx6lq]

Great reaction Tony. Just a quick reminder that Band Maid has released a new single called 'Shambles'. I can't wait to see your reaction 🤘

[@pattetuohoshijane3146]

Also this year, the theme song "DREAM SOLISTER" was performed at Koshien Stadium in support of the high school baseball⚾ Kyoto representatives. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2HLanhrasSfpMk

[@EliaIlProfeta]

Hibike is great. I like this OP, but season 2 has a much better one in my opinion

[@jewa3051]

Fr. Soundscape is such a good opening

[@Bobbias]

I'd like to take a moment to remember those who died in the arson attack on Kyoto Animation a while back. To this day I still can't believe such an awful thing happened to a fucking animation studio of all places.

[@Takudayo]

My Condolences as well, Kyoto animation is my favourite Animation Studio 😭

[@khoigamingtv9939]

[@Nameless_Strinova]

greatest anime ever

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I really loved it

[@ahmadmaulanairfanudin3274]

You should listen the orchestra version 🎉🎉

[@2019m-z8i]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2mTopecm9B6is0 do you mean this one? I really like it, even more than the original, haha

[@acyned8079]

I totally get what you mean regarding the vocals. I also wished there was more big band stuff in the opening but I can understand the traditional JRock opening style. Don't get me wrong I love it, but I wished there was an actual instrumental opening that showcased more big band stuff. I'm sure that since this is a music anime there would definitely be more pieces like that in the anime itself.

[@WaifuTrashWeeb]

I feel like anime openings need that pop over the top part even if the band intro was fantastic. Overall its still nice to get many of the instruments get sprinkled here and there. Very fun song that always gets a smile on my face.

[@pievanian]

Am I the only one that thinks Asuka-senpai needs her own spinoff spending a summer marching Crown or Phantom?

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Haaa that would be great

[@idontcare735]

It's great but the second opining is better for me

[@chemislife]

I would love you to check out the new season 3 OP MV for the show. They are at a real high school as well as the school's actual band from what the translated comments say.

[@Sineseol]

Fantastic anime.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

1000% agreed

I'd be curious to see your opinion on the movie version and/or wind orchestra version od "Dream Solister"

[@furuta_tk]

[@socialparasite03]

I'd like to see you reacting to Metal Gear Solid 3 main theme Snake Eater, such a work of art

[@ahmadmaulanairfanudin3274]

Please react to all openings and endings, including the movie version..

[@SpaRkofFiRe]

There actually is an official orchestral version of this song if that's more to your liking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5abkKRopceSlZo There's also one made for one of the movies that has vocals backed solely by a more traditional-sounding orchestra: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ucYWiKls2oiq8

[@tofuteh2348]

Would you consider doing reactions of just the musical performances of the show? Well i guess it'd be more like a review

[@gene9537]

I like the opening, but was wondering if you would do a reaction to Cresent Moon Dance. The song they play for the competition.

[@jesfil1910]

Don't know if you have listen to the band Sekai no Owari "The Fire and Forest Carnival/炎と森のカーニバル" & "RPG" these songs are similar to this one, would recommend them.

[@elevown]

Hi Tony- You really need to call it Hibiki Euphonium! Thats what 95% of the fans know it as - you will confuse people a bit translating it. p.s You absolutely should watch the movie from this series - Liz and the blue bird - its incredible and has a fair bit of classical music in it. Only trouble is I wanna say you can watch it without watchinig the 2 seasons but - i'd still recommend seeing them first lol - so its a bit much expecting you to watch all that.. The film is a masterpiece. Liz to Aoi Tori (Liz and The Blue Bird) Ensemble Scene kzbin.info/www/bejne/op_ZoXyOlJZsaas This is the pivotal scene - its only 4 min long- the band performing the song they have been practicing - where Nozomi realises her friend Mizore has been holding herself back for her sake.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I just looked at the montly keyword search numbers. It's pretty even between both titles. I made a few changes to hopefully register for both. Thanks for suggestion. However, I feel like regardless of tranlation there is a huge ass image in the thumb that should clear any confusion up real fast. LOL

[@elevown]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts You have a point lol

The correct name is actually “Hibike”, not Hibiki

The first season is great. The second season focused way too much on melodrama.
