It may be difficult to hear me in some parts, so please turn on CC for subtitles!

[@caseylp7121]

Thank you so much for your reaction! Earned a subscriber from me ❤

[@dmar3651]

If this took your breath away, you aren't prepared for Sumeru, and later, Fontaine. Great Reaction!

[@gensao]

@@dmar3651 She is going backwards order and was "amazed" by Sumeru and "wowed" by Fontaine.

[@dmar3651]

@gensao ooh, I see. Damn, a bit of a shame. But still, hope it's all worth it.

[@jamesreese4170]

I love how each region in Genshin is immediately noticeable in the OST. You could close your eyes and know where you are just by the music. It's so well composed.

[@shikinluv]

omg i love your genshin reactions. i hope your next one is the full Shanghai concert they did last year. it's on the official channel!!

[@michelleeverbloom]

I'd love to do that one!

[@andrewofthevu]

I was going to suggest this too! It may be a lot longer but it's 100% worth the watch!!! I also love the Reflections of Spring Genshin Concert from 2022 if you want something a bit shorter than the Shanghai concert

[@berrybread7215]

I love how you picked up that the start of the second piece “sounds like a rainstorm”. I never actually saw it like that despite hearing this soundtrack possibly hundreds of times by now, but now I can definitely hear that, and it feels so obvious and intentional in hindsight. Thank you for the new perspective!

[@michelleeverbloom]

You're welcome!

[@SoyDavidYT]

I love Inazuma music and Region in general, you should react to *"Duel in the Mist"* that pure japanese instrumentation, no western sound anywhere! Freaking Beautiful! ❤️

[@CelticBotansDigitalArt]

Right, it's one of the reasons why I love Inazuma's OST so much, but also Liyue's and Sumeru's, it features a lot of awesome folk instruments from everywhere, and I think that's so rad! Fontaine's OST is my least favorite of all of them, there are some AMAZING tracks in it (Shade of Flowers, The Drifting Beauty, Year of Tribulation and Magick Without Tears are the ones that come to my mind, for exemple), but I'm so much more "picky' with Fontaine's music than other regions! I think it's exactly bc other regions have a lot more diversity and more "unique" elements to them, in comparison~

[@CelticBotansDigitalArt]

Such a cool reaction, and honestly, same lol. Inazuma is my favorite region in genshin (despite writiing/pacing issues it has), and the music is a huge factor on why! I think people explained already how each region is inspired by real locations and cultures, and each region has their own main element and an overal theme - Fontaine, the first you reacted to, is Water element and "justice" themed; Sumeru is flora/plants and "Wisdom". Inazuma's element is electricity/lightning and its themed after the concept of "Eternity". And it's so interesting and cool how they manage to showcase these themes into every region's themes! The taiko drums are everywhere in battle themes, because they represent the thunder and lightning in the land, and the conflicts that are happening in the region, when we get there. The music in incredible as it is without context, but the more you go into the game's lore and understanding the decisions and choices made by the composers, the more impressive it gets!

[@michelleeverbloom]

I love the different elements!

[@PersephaYT]

At this point you may as well watch the entire Genshin shanghai 2023 concert. It was absolutely fantastic.

[@Ikcatcher]

Overlord of the Thunderstorm is my favorite Genshin track, it just perfectly encapsulates everything I like about the game

[@arifigo1006]

It seems you're going with each city. Pls dont forget the dragonspine 👏

[@gensao]

"Tales From the Snow Mountain" is great! It includes the maestro composer Yu-Peng Chen on piano. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3KriGWfpKpknZY

[@devolays]

I'm so in love with your genshin reactions, such a joy to watch these performances with someone who shares that music passion. Thanks for another one, didn't expect it to be out so soon! I really, really hope you'll be able to react to their big concerts as well in some near future, especially the very first one from 2021 ("Melodies of an Endless Journey") and live Shanghai performance from 2023. There are also "Melodies of an Endless Journey" from 2022 and 2023, but I liked these other two the most, so I'm only speaking for myself here and what I, personally, would love to see :D They're over 90 minutes long though, so if that's an issue, you could try doing it in parts or something :3 Fingers crossed :D

[@michelleeverbloom]

I definitely want to check those out too!

[@DanaOtken]

Agreed. The concerts are great, and will also show you interpretations of the music other than the original. I might also recommend the "Duel in the Mist" MV if you want something shorter that's also a semi-traditional performance of Japanese-inspired music.

[@gensao]

I am hoping she will do the "Reflections of Spring" mini-concert next with "Liyue" as she has been listening to each regional theme in reverse order (Fontain -> Sumeru -> Inazuma). If one jumps past the dead space at the beginning, it is a more manageable 21 minutes long: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqTZnWOphr13gqs I like how the mini concert focuses on the orchestra and ends with the "Liyue" theme.

[@boatman6184]

Strictly speaking, the traditional Japanese drum should be called Wadaiko (和太鼓). Taiko in Japan as a general name for the "drum". That is to say, any drum in the world can be called taiko, like Western Taiko (西洋太鼓), Korea taiko, Chinese taiko and so on.

[@zeromailss]

I have listened to more than 20.000 music in my life from all kind of different genre and for me this is the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Definitely one of my fav OST of all time. I have probably listened to it for over 1k times in the past few years since it was first released (I bought the album) God bless everyone that is involved in the production. edit: I'm talking about Inazuma Main Theme, I love Inazuma OST in general but the main theme is easily my personal fav

[@woekittenvideos7534]

You should check out Duel in the Mist. It's another Genshin battle track, done with all traditional Japanese instrument.

[@michelleeverbloom]

Sounds great!

[@adrammelech6323]

Great video. I hope you listened to Duel in the Mist too or will in the future. It's near peak of HoYo-mix ability to mix traditional and regional with classic western and modern music.

[@er_cl]

this is the main city theme of inazuma, and i just love how from 2:32 onwards the music perfectly describes nighttime, into dawn and then midday of a city in my mind. like it’s just such a perfect theme 🥰🥹 love your reactions!!

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@flowerbit4137]

The instrumentation for this one is so magical for me

[@MikelJosef]

Love the reaction to Inazuma, felt the same reaction when I first heard it. Fell in love with that region since it was heavily inspired in Japan. Love the combinations of the beautiful instruments as well 💜

[@hmmode9482]

Loved your reaction!! There are so many more genshin osts that are just as good, its underrated tbh

[@asterkingston140]

It's nice to see your face reaction especially at the beginning, i can feel your shivers when the flute plays. Anyway i love genshin impact musics from mondstadh, to liyue, to inazuma and sumeru. I'm glad you appreciate the musics! ❤😊

[@jeanfranciscoavila6355]

Hii.... your way of reacting (waiting till the end to proper say your opinion) is amazing! Pls, keep doing that.

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thank you!

[@zevy718]

I saw your reaction to the previous two others and immediately subscribed! I'm so happy to see more new people diving into Genshin's phenomenal music, especially someone with a background such as yours. I really enjoyed your reaction! Your awe and amazement hearing these soundscapes is contagious-- I felt as though I'm hearing them again for the first time! Inazuma's themes are definitely more somber, and I actually started tearing up at 0:55 because you mentioned it LOL 😭 I'd love to suggest > "Sumeru OST "Forest of Jnana and Vidya Preview MV" and > "Sumeru OST "Forest of Jnana and Vidya" Promotional MV" (yes they're different😂) from Genshin's official channel as well. Theya are not exactly in an orchestra setting, but they put the members in a landscape to match the vibe or inspiration of the song! I'm sure it'll be a treat for the eyes and heart as well. As an avid Genshin fan myself, I look forward to seeing more of your reactions in their other music! Welcome to their beautiful and diverse world, and I hope you enjoy it! More love and power to your channel! ✨✨

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thank you so much!

[@ErisianRomantic]

6:00 As much as I love the keyboards, just hearing such stunning xylophone and marimba hurts me, when I think my marimba playing days are so long past. I'll likely take my last breath one day wishing I had played again. This music was beyond description.

[@aru_snickerdoodle]

I love your Genshin reactions!

[@michelleeverbloom]

That means a lot! Thank you!

[@mokomocha]

It amazes me how beautiful they play their instruments. Please, you must react to the Shanghai Concert. It's absolutely stunning.

[@michelleeverbloom]

That's the plan!

[@caden1313]

"Supreme beauty" I agree.

[@CozNothingIsForever]

Hey you. Genshin's new realm (Natlan) orchestral video just released, go check it out!

[@michelleeverbloom]

Will do!

You may like trying a piece from the Genshin Impact soundtrack called "Rhythm from ancient times".

[@genbearrrr]

thanks for the reaction! you should listen to genshin's duel in the mist!

[@snowgriffins]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FAONTAINE VERSION OF THESE VIDEOS!

hope you will watch behind the scene of genshin music production too

[@beanAwake]

love this

[@ridhosaputras]

Hey there, Michelle, just a heads up about a fantastic KZbin channel that reviews beautiful orchestral pieces of Genshin Impact. There's a chance you might pick up a humming sound in the background during the recordings. It definitely shouldn't take away from the amazing music you're reviewing, but I just give you a friendly reminder. Keep up the amazing review videos of Genshin Impact OST's & experience power & surprises of them. Thanks. :)

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thank you

[@SleepParty30]

What the devil is an orchestra founder? Are orchestras like companies?

[@michelleeverbloom]

Someone who starts an orchestra. Someone has to start them!
