Keiichi Okabe, creating the music of NieR: Automata

[@alex_evstyugov]

I remember watching a live concert of music from NieR. There was a giant screen with footage from the game, and there were all the musicians and the singers, and Emi Evans of course. And then there was that funny little guy, the conferencier. Hosting the show, saying a couple words about each song. A short chubby guy, very charming, but very unobtrusive. Very softspoken and humble. Subservient, even. Kept bowing and thanking the audience all the time. And it was never a simple arigatou. It was always a full-fledged "hontou ni arigatou gozaimashita", you know. Every single time. With a bow. I bought the CD collection. Sometimes at night I would sit at the piano and play Shadowlord by ear. Grandma. Kainé. Emil. Snow in Summer. Occasionally I would arrange them for two violins to play in duet with my violin teacher. Then NieR:Automata came out and I bought a PS4 just to play it. Just the one game. I paid almost 400 Euro to play just one game. I wish I had paid more. The game that broke my heart and crushed my soul. And then and only then, after all that, months later even, one fine day it finally occurred to me to google the composer's name. As in, I knew what the name was. I long knew it by heart, needless to say. But I had never actually looked him up. What else he had worked on, where he was from, what he looked like. So I googled "Keiichi Okabe". And my jaw dropped. Smiling at me from the screen was that funny little guy. That humble conferencier who at the concert had acted like a complete nobody and kept apologizing to the audience for wasting their time with his presence. It had been him all along. The composer himself. What understatement. What a gentleman. What a mensch. I am at a loss for words even still now. Mr Okabe, I know you will never read this, but I love you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for everything. 本当にありがとうございました indeed.

[@cloudbloom]

Beautifully said. Nier Automata had me sobbing uncontrollably at the true end credits, absolutely phenomenal game

[@LeethLee1]

Amen

[@issa37031]

Man your words are unique, and yeah Nier Automata gave us something that no body will get it tell they try it, and it remain to our hearts yet the music is something, Because of the wonderful Composer. 😍. You didn't waste your money on PS4 try Death stranding and some unique games you won't regret it. ☺️

[@issa37031]

God protect Keiichi he is legend with his team. 🙏🙏 Can't wait for the announced Nier.

Yoko Taro + Keiichi Okabe = Epic masterpiece

[@blorkflorkernorp9773]

Key ingredient: Platinum games and Square Enix money. Drakengard through Nier:Gestaltlicant were not masterpieces. It took all the back-end skill at Platinum and the financial clout of SE to truly weaponize Taro/Okabetism.

[@preciousshatterings177]

Taro and Okabe are just like Yoshi. P and Soken to me!

[@arklados3596]

Epic win

[@HighYouseF]

Absolutely

[@obie1103]

Keiichi Okabe to Yoko Taro was what John Williams was to Steven Spielberg

[@ShinigamiXZEROX]

Even to this day i still believe videogames music is heavily underrated but more than anything Japanese composers, they've been killing it through the years yet it feels like they don't get the appreciation they truly deserve. I think what makes the Toco toco series captivating is not only the people being interview in it, but also the subtle and non-intrusive editing.

[@arenkai]

@Bara Tulska That's classic Yoko Taro bait and switch. He hooks you with something and stabs you in the heart with another. Drakengard: Classic fantasy with badass and heroic dragon riders that fight for justice ? Nope ! Meet a bunch of psychopatic murderers as they mow their ennemies with glee using justice as a pretense. NieR: A dad/brother goes on a quest to save his sickly daughter/sister while teaming up with a skimpy lady in revealing underwear ? Nope ! Meet a desperate dad going through madness as he goes on a quest that will ultimately destroy the human race while teaming up with a hermaphrodite girl that wears sexy underwear as clothes to show that she accepts her body as it is. Automata: An android with a sexy body and her cute sidekick will save the human race from extinction by defeating the evil aliens ? Nope ! Turns out the aliens are dead. The humans are dead. So you follow androids on a tragic quest for purpose in life. One finds love. One finds hate. One finds redemption. All the while teaching you through sidequests that letting other people or abstract concepts dictate what your purpose in life is will only lead to your own destruction as an individual. EDIT: I nearly didn't buy NieR:Automata because of the sexualisation. I was anti-baited. This would have been one of the biggest mistakes of my life as this game changed me.

[@daffanier]

@@arenkai how's Automata changed you man? And don't talk about the other games i'm trying to evading the spoilers hehe.

[@Jay-sl9jo]

Between Nier soundtracks and Persona soundtracks, I could go my entire life just listening to those alone.

[@Njin8492]

Lmao I love your desc of Drakengard.

[@MegumiHayashida]

Brilliant composers don't get enough credit when they're 70% responsible of the magic. Keiichi Okabe, Yoko Kanno, Masashi Hamauzu, Joe Hisaishi, Hans Zimmer and countless others make gaming and watching movies an experience worth remembering for centuries and beyond. Thank you for showcasing such remarkable artists through your channel

[@Thaltas]

Exactly the same feelings i've had about this! This man is a wonderful creator AND artist and definetely deserves the most appreciation for what he's done in musical medium.

[@KiraGaerled]

You forgot about poor Hoashi Keigo who composed like half of Automata OST ^^

[@Fabian-ft3qq]

Im glad you mentioned Masashi Hamauzu~

You need to add in yuki kajiura san also

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the finale.

[@bladeofmird]

Really sad to hear that this will be the final episode of toco toco. It was quite a journey and some of my favorite artists and developers were shown so i'm very thankful. You guys showed the way of how to make documentaries with the proper respect to both the creators you documented as well as your viewers. Your cinematography and editing skills are unparalled in youtube yet they were always applied with moderation and subtlety. I wish the best to you in whatever you do next. :)

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

[@pochiapg3171]

NieR:Automata had a big impact on me. It sparked a chain of events that not only led to irl changes, but also to changes in myself. Okabe's work on the soundtrack played a big role in this. The soundtracks from both NieRs will forever be etched in my being, and I am thankfull for that.

[@Chapperino]

I would be interested to hear how it changed you.

[@itwasmewasntit2448]

Humble and beautiful person. He doesn't consider himself an artist and I agree. Mr. Okabe, you are a GREAT artist for giving us the best videogame soundtrack ever.

[@skygazer8549]

The friendship between Okabe and Taro reminds me of ONE and Yusuke Murata. They're just bros making great things!

[@jonolas1626]

KEIICHI OKABE OMG, I LOVE HIS MUSIC :D

[@arenkai]

This was very informative, thank you ! The fact that the Automata OST was only composed of layers that needed to be re-assembled in order to make real tracks for the CD release speaks a lot of those people's dedication to making video game music, and not music that happens to be in a video game. It reminds me of what Mick Gordon did with the DOOM (2016) soundtrack. That's why listening to those tracks without playing the game feels weird to me. They are good on their own, but its truly how they are used in the medium they were created for that elevates them to greatness.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@rising231]

周囲の人はあまり語ってないけど、岡部さんは歴史に残る日本の宝だと思う。

Keiichi Okabe‘s works are the greatest achievements in game soundtracks next to Otani‘s Score for Shadow of the Colossus ❤️

[@DannyMexen9]

I agree

[@Josef_1186]

I like the music in destiny.

[@chilihunter7392]

Yeah it really is one of the best soundtracks ever. My other favorites are probably Dragon Age: Inquisition’s soundtrack, Detroit: Become Human, Assassin’s Creed 2 and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Go video game music!

Keiichi Okabe, if there's the slightest chance of you or someone from Monaca or even Emi Evans reading this, know that I dream, every single day, of having the privilege to work alongside you and your crew for creating masterful compositions for my stories. Keep up doing what you do best, because somewhere in the opposite side of the globe, there's someone who roots and thinks dearly of your work. NieR:Automata has the best videogame soundtrack I've listened in my entire life. I can't thank you enough for this. (I even figure you and Ryuichi Sakamoto working together [with me, who knows], since I also know you're a huge fan of him, as much as I am hahahahaha)

This was a truly fascinating and touching interview (or monologue). One thing that hit me is that during this whole 38 minutes Keiichi Okabe did not mention that he actually loves/likes what he is currently doing or that he is proud/happy of the reception that his music got. Thinking how beautiful his music is to me, it makes me a bit sad that the creator himself doesn't share the same feeling for his own creations.
