ANOTHER YOASOBI OP BANGER - Music Producer Reacts to 勇者 / Yuusha (Frieren anime OP)

[@jeansnow1116]

"It feels a song played at the final episode of an animé" Well Frieren's animé starts when main characters' adventure is already over so actually you're not wrong about it ahaha

Oh my god, this is AMAZING. I love the proper music theory analysis, it's so rare to see someone with music theory knowledge talk about stuff like anime music.

You should check out Drumrolltony too Hes an amazing percussionist and bass player that reacts in a similar style to this video (but more adhd friendly)

[@-butterfly-594]

@@skrrtskrrt9288 Yeah, I watch him too! He's great, but I feel like he purposefully doesn't go too deep into the theory cus he doesn't want to bore people. But I'm a nerd so I wanna learn about all the details lol

[@brianahanson6449]

It feels like the “off-ness” of the song paints the picture of our protagonist character’s unfamiliarity with human emotions. Now, I have not watched the anime nor know much beyond what is in trailers. But the choices in music composition give me the impression that the composition itself and its choices are a musical illustration of the Frieren’s journey/unfamiliarity/experience of learning human emotions. All of this at the same time the lyrics are storytelling from a more “there was a fairytale like story that happened, there are things that happen now as my thoughts keep going back to that time, and there are also now new seeds to watch over, to guide and watch grow.”

[@lulu111_the_cool]

And apparently some just don't get that and only deemds it as unfitting because it sounds to upeat for them. (They even harassed them)

[@edmarkpeda3988]

16:36 This explanation tells what the anime and the anime title is all about... Its amazing that you can feel it to the opening music

[@PeTr01]

What an amazing analysis, your professionalism, your skills, just top tier. I love the way you break down certain aspects and instruments that I would have never heard in the first place, it certainly gives me a deeper appreciation and enjoyment for the song. Your research into the band is above and beyond as well, very impressive 🙌

[@tomjensen1]

Your analysis adds so much for my appreciation of Ayase. To my untrained ear, it sounds like Ayase has created music in three acts like a movie. Prelude, act 1 texture, transition, act 2 tempo, transition, act 3 encapsulation. Idol is a three-act structure as well. Ayase is creating a new form and it's phenomenal and connecting with the world. I hope his innovation catches on.

[@nr1877]

"goes through like the amount of stuff i would put into eight songs" is the best way to describe their songs and that's why i love them so much! i have to listen to their songs at least 3 times each at first to be familiar with it but always end up loving it deeply 😂💗

[@funnyperson4027]

That piano run is what got me to love this op. It’s overwhelmingly jazzy and comes out of nowhere

[@ZeroSeriesMMX]

And I still fail that section, even after listening to "Yuusha" at 0.25x speed. God, my ears are failing me. 😂

[@hutoutpizzad]

Yuusha is an amazing song for an amazing Anime, I really love all your careful analysis so please don't be disheartened when your videos don't get many views, your videos are amazing!

[@Indarow]

The lyrics are amazing too, they’re thematically relevant for the story of the anime. Yoasobi uploaded an English dub of the song too and it’s equally as good.

[@TrafficCamWatch]

A rare reaction channel that does more than just react wirh emotion and actually reacts with intelligence and education. Actually this is the only channel I've seen that does that. Subscribed!

[@codeelkins]

This is how you do a true 'reaction' video! I love anime music, but I love learning about the theory that goes behind it and why it sounds so unique and interesting. It's refreshing to see someone that actually has some meaningful perspectives and opinions on the art form! I dig your passion man and hope your channel becomes even more popular! Excellent work! Also, can we just appreciate that we got Lofi hip hop, Jazz, latin music, reggae steel drum, operatic choir, and symphonic orchestra music all in one song and it somehow works?! Ayase is a genius and Ikura has such a beautiful voice!

[@sss-qz9zn]

I always really look forward to your overwhelmingly detailed analysis and reactions. If you like YOASOBI, be sure to check out Eve, ZUTOMAYO, Yorushika and others. There is still a lot of creative young talent in Japan.

Having heard this song over and over and read through the lyrics a ton, I think it’s really interesting to hear the technical aspects of this song explained and see how they match up with the story the song is telling. It just shows how much thought was put into every aspect. It’s honestly kind of awe inspiring. Thank you for reacting to this song and explaining some of what makes it hit exactly how it was made to.

[@b0unce805]

Really appreciate you taking the time to actually breakdown all the chord changes!

[@Vunyl]

I've been watching this Frieren and honestly, it's so beautiful. Seeing you break down the opening really helps with understanding where certain things come from and overall just the whole feel of it. Watching 20 minute long music breakdown videos is not something I normally do but it's always so fun with you lol. I think I've requested this before, but I recommend checking out the Bocchi The Rock soundtrack, which is an anime about trying to start a band so you know the songs will be good. It has a whole album of songs to listen to and break down, or you could just check out the intro.

[@lse2]

I’ve been watching Bocchi all month!

I love the analysis, you'd love Kyoumen no Nami by Yurika, that math rock j-pop is wild

[@D3sToD3s]

They use a metal pan after you talked about reggae influences. That's funny to me. I guess the symbolism of such a wide variety of instruments and stuff is because the Character is incredibly old and well-traveled,

[@subhadramahanta452]

Damn! You're insane! My stupid no music idea mind can't keep up at all, but it's just so fascinating to even grasp even just a little of it.

[@btdlxd]

Absolutely loved your analysis of Yuusha, I really love this song and everything Ayase creates and this video makes me appreciate him even more. There is so much more to music than just the lyrics and melody, it tells you a whole story just with the insttumentals and immerses you deeply. Your analysis reminded me of my music theory lessons I had in school that I really loved. Thank you!! Hope to see you react to more cool songs of Yoasobi and other awesome artists!

[@toufaniartmeda8175]

What you say in 7:50 , they actually was made song with full moombahtoon genre called " Moshimo inochi ga ekatara" and that was like the first song that i feel so different than what they do before

[@braveshine2579]

this song comprises first slow tempo, naivety phase. Once we no longer naive, we grow into fast tempo phase. At the end, we look back at our naivety and reminisce how once we/ it used to be slow and peaceful. If only he analysed and explained like this, I can remember this is like houseki no kuni phase changes.

[@ChikaChika.]

Thank you for the react. I love the way you're explain with your experience how they chose the key progression, beat... And i hope you see this anime because it's great !

[@Legendav]

I've enjoyed seeing your gradual love for YOASOBI with each video~ Ayase is one of the most cracked producers in modern Japanese music. Another great analysis video dude! Side note: would definitely recommend checking out Taku Inoue! Another fantastic producer that draws a lot of electronic/jazz fusion inspirations into his music. He's done a lot of stuff for Suisei Hoshimachi from hololive. Some good songs would be Stellar Stellar or Sanji Juunihen!

[@lse2]

Ooh, will do, thank you!

[@thelounge7]

Thanks for checking out the song! I love how you go in depth with your reactions and explain the musical terms in an understandable manner. If I were to recommend you a new song to check out, please do react to Made in Abyss-Transcendence and Hanezeve by Kevin Penkins

[@kyoko167]

When you digested it I felt like the "telephone voice" was used in lines where she is singing about the past and it changes to the "current time" with her more regular voice. It was very visible in a line "When you disappears from everybody's memory (phone voice)" to the next line "I will take it to the future (regular voice)". It might be a stretch, but once you understand the text in Japanese it gives you soo much feels...

[@MGR_Songs]

That "Ah ah heeyaah" part doesn't has a kind of Hawaii vibes? I love when a song merge so many different rhythms and genres in one piece that doesn't sounds like a mess, its all balanced in your own place, and sounds gorgeous

[@raimundoortins1038]

My favorite song of all time, also from one of my favorites anime.

[@kuronguyen1047]

I think this song is OG Ayase's music style, cuz it sounds like Vocaloid songs that he made before, maybe this song can replace Ikura with some Vocaloid for another version ( just my theory based on my feeling )

[@josephhampton8966]

[@MissusAnon]

the melody and chords in this song-- I don't know how to describe everything I'm hearing... I'm just a hobby singer who grew up as a choir student, but holy crap this song is the most fun I have had singing a song in a while, it is very complex and a bit chaotic-- I sing the english version of this song btw. I use it as my warmup song now because I've actually noticed my vocals and utility to move between notes improve by a noticeable margin after learning this piece. This song has so many textures I'm eating a full meal lmao they really cooked for this one 🔥🔥

[@Moxxowo]

This is an anime about time. The title of the music is translated to "Hero" which is a music that resembles the death of the hero that defeated the demon lord and how it's history is gonna be forgotten, it's sang in the perspective of Frieren, an elf mage that was in the hero's party to defeat the demon lord. Elfs are beings with a crazy amount of lifespan, the lyrics capture her feelings of confusion between the love and comprehension Frieren had about the party members and how close to nothing human's lifespan was compared to hers. Despite the tone of the song, it's actually about the 5th stage of grief, acceptance. Even with her feelings of sorrow and nostalgia she accepts his death; for as long as she is alive, the hero and all of his party members will be alive in her memories, and so will be every single human she encounters on her adventure.

[@woochii0991]

This was amazing!!! I think you would like Kaikaikitan by Eve.

While you excel at analyzing the music, I try to figure out the deeper meanings behind the lyrics and writing. What was the authors message, what was their goal, etc. I do this with everything I read and watch to a degree where I can get into the head of the author. This has gotten me a lot of attention in Lit and Comp at school. I went far beyond the curriculum. But you are what I call the missing half of what I need as a composer. You have all this built up knowledge and experience with music that I want to build up for myself. You have earned my respect as a musician in almost every way possible. Your videos have helped me out greatly within my short time as a pianist and I want to reach out to you to let you know how I feel. Keep up the great work. And please remember that you inspired me to attempt to reach your level. It will take time but you have renewed my resolve. And for that I am eternally grateful.

yoasobiのサビのコードに敢えて触れない方々は寧ろ気付いていると思う。ただ、それはもう知られていることだから別に誰も気にしない。優しさは分かるが、それは敢えて触れても聞こえ方や印象が違うので、寧ろどう思うか言ってしまって問題ないと思う。 それにしても、漫画と合うＯＰは多分無理がある。なので曲単体で聞いて、本当にどこからスパートかけたんだ!? となるこの動画はもっと視聴され評価されるべきだろう。未だにアニメの新規リアクション動画が後を絶たない作品だし。 あのピアノパートも多分本当は何が配置されたか作品と無煙でも気付いていそうだが、ワオで済ませて全ては言わない。 本格派の海外ミュージシャンは、良いところは敢えて言葉に出さず、せいぜい示唆で終える傾向ある気もする。己の誇示を控えがちで音楽作品の解釈優先はアニメ漫画ファンには受けないのだろうか。ｃｈ登録の桁が一つ足りないとすら思う。 リヒテルやアバドが亡くなり、最近では小澤征爾さんまでそうで、もうクラシック終わりか、と毎回失礼なことを思う自分が言える事ではないし、確かに日本の音楽は色々と影響や育ち方がかなり異なるから、当然難しいとは思う。ただ、その辺は日本人は普通に指摘するので、どうせハンデがあるならば好き放題言うのもありかも知れない。いや、違うかな。 ただ、この動画拝見する度、この作品冒頭からＯＰだし、後でＭＶ視聴すると意外性抜群だったのを思い出す。 曲も動画も評価足りないと思い長文になってしまい、申し訳ない
