Kinuyo Yamashita playing Castlevania Stage 3 (Wicked Child)

Kinuyo Yamashita (composer of Castlevania) playing one of her songs on my piano!

[@dragonpullman23]

What's amazing is, all these years after Castlevania's release, she still looks very youthful.

[@ThrashersShogun]

Indeed, that's exactly what my reaction was

[@dragonpullman23]

I wonder if she has had the chance to meet the AVGN yet, since they both live in New Jersey from what I understand.

The entire original team were actual vampires of the Toreador clan

[@GenyaArikado]

She is a living god! One of the best female composers of all time

[@ren.batista]

I couldn't find her age anywhere, but considering the original Castlevania is already 34 years old, and that a composer with such experience in music wouldn't do what she did being less than 20 years old, she must be around 55, which is incredible. I though I was watching a 25 years old student

[@skoufix]

Only the composer of some of the greatest game soundtracks of all time!

[@Simonthecat88]

A beautiful woman making beautiful music. (cheesy comment but I don't care)

[@zapzawesomeice2970]

lol. . nah dawg it ain't cheesy. . . that's a good looking woman.

[@Goremachine]

A beautiful man making a beautiful comment about beauty.

[@AndrewNewZealand]

Wow, really neat. She is one of the best female composers I know of along with Michiru Yamane who the Castlevania: Bloodlines music in 1994. Almost up there with Kate Bush :)

Don't forget Yoko Shimomura

Holy hell this gorgeous woman is the one who composed it?? I was already in love with the music....

[@TommyEfreeti]

AWesome. Thanks for sharing

For some reason I never expected a pretty woman was behind all those classic tunes. I pictured some old guy with a grizzly beard.

[@symphony137]

I'm sorry but what does have one's look to do with musical talent? I really fail to see the connection here.

[@mdjey2]

Grizzly beard? For Gods sake they are Japanese!

[@giantdad1661]

@@symphony137 Given how Japanese society operates, this is a huge fucking surprise.

[@Rassenomatjutut]

I pictured a nerd with glasses.

[@Aivottaja]

@@symphony137 We are talking about Japan in the 1980's here. I think it is/was reasonable to assume the video game industry was composed of mostly men.

[@DyordsNavatrutu]

fantastic! my favorite castlevania song performed by the composer herself. how on earth were you able to get her to do this? anyhow, great vid.

[@WillianVacholz]

bravo, bravo 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Alianger]

Nice, you can tell she hadn't played it in a while but it still sounds great

[@RoundtreeattheGrosvernor]

one of the best

[@Industriajor]

I think I have just deeply felt in love... deeply!!!!

[@VaultVenturer]

She is encantadora.

[@societyofsin]

Wow! Great!

[@Doomzdayxx]

I never realized it was a chick that composed this game. She's beautiful!

[@Milk.0.Milkovich]

im throwing up rainbows with bLOOD!

[@countrybluegrass]

Then why does nobody there seem to give a shit about what they're seeing/hearing while loitering in the hall or walking by?

[@nate567987]

a reminder she did x3 as well

[@CORRENTEINVERSA]

I love castlevania because the songs now i noticed that a beautiful wrote them, i wanna marry with her

[@grepsedawk]

WOW

[@gastmusiker]

hermosa

[@TurmoilTom]

Cool beans.

[@johnathangodbolt]

haha so rad!

[@robertocarloscaruso6840]

How old was she in 1986? I mean, she looks young.

[@chinarut]

according to Wikipedia, she graduated from a 2-year college in 1986 so 19 assuming she didnt skip any grades w all that talent!

[@zerobyte802]

She said 20 when they were talking to her on stage prior to performing some Castlevania music.

[@xOmniCloudx]

Talk about being lucky.
