Megaman X3 - Blizzard Buffalo Stage (piano arrangement) By Kinuyo Yamashita

[@DarkonFullPower]

I apparently liked this video 9 years ago. I have no memory of this. But KZbin did. Today it decided to remind me of it.

[@NowhereBeats]

This lady is one of my idols, she studied engineering but became a music composer, I hope I can follow those same steps. Unfortunately studying engineering is very hard and I have lost all time and inspiration, but once I graduate, I hope I can start again.

[@TrillianOnPiano]

Oh my! You've composed some of MMX3's music? I owe you my childhood!

[@originalmaincharacter5714]

All of it.

[@Holdington]

She also composed the music for the first Castlevania game. Look it up!

[@micahc9509]

mind blown, X3 is my favorite video game ST of all time, and this is my Favorite song from the OST.

[@alastor923]

Fells the same

[@eso_erica]

Woah. The very composer uploading a piano rendition; really cool. This was always one of my favorites from X3.

[@MrNimbus420]

Are you saying she composed the original?

[@eso_erica]

@@MrNimbus420 Yup!

[@pacalexandrecosta]

I would like to congratulate you for your amazing job on Mega Man X3 OST. First time , I've played MMX3, around 1998, I was amazed by its soundtrack (especially Gravity Beetle). Thank you thank you!

La maestra que bendijo mis oídos cuando jugaba megaman x grandes tiempos 😍

Qué genial la compositora del excelente soundtrack de Mega Man X3 (Super Nintendo). Muchas gracias maestra por esta magnífica música.

This song makes me feel like I'm trapped in a dark and endless winter . . .

[@mrterry1756]

The Fimbul Winter's Main theme

[@juanignaciomoreno5988]

I grew up with these games. I whistle this theme when it snows because it fits the mood so well. I also have one memory of me as a kid playing this stage while it was raining and grey outside, which also fit the mood. Can't thank you enough!!

[@MousLS25]

All hail YOU, Ms. Yamashita, may all your tracks since Castlevania and even before it never be forgotten.

[@blizzardbuffalo4258]

You have gave birth to my theme. You have my gratitude

[@demanoth]

Este tema me marcó cuando niño, me llegó al alma, cada vez que escuchó este tema, me acuerdo de esas tardes de invierno cuando dejaba el control sobre la cama simplemente para escuchar esto con la lluvia de fondo

[@MegothJagome]

This was always my favorite stage of the game. And the music fits perfectly into this distopian frozen wasteland that the stage had as theme. This theme and Gravity Beetle stage theme were the ones that stuck in my head all these years. Thank you for your artistic work on the game and those fond memories of my childhood.

[@ajolosaur1o]

It makes me very nostalgic, thank you very much for creating this masterpiece ❤

[@toamatoro570]

I love the Zero bit at the beginning.

[@Alianger]

To be honest I didn't think much of this song in the game, it wasn't bad just didn't stand out that much when playing. But this is fantastic! Thanks for your work on Castlevania, Esper Dream, Maze of Galious and so on :)

[@bezoticallyyours83]

You took a melancholy videogame tune, and turned it into a stunning piece fit for a movie. Bravo.

[@ElisandroDeLeon]

so it was YOU that made this haunting piece of music. Now I have a face (besides Blizzard Buffalo's) to pin to the sadness

[@ptiril]

The songs in this game are all so good. Blizzard buffalo's theme really has a great vibe

[@salvadormansini8865]

That was lovely, Ms. Yamashita. I've always particularly enjoyed both Blizzard Buffalo and Zero's themes from Megaman X3. When considering Blizzard Buffalo's level design, in particular the area where it gets very dark and you see the flickering red lights in the background, it made your composition ever so appropriate, very dire and moody. Conversely, on the occasion that the player would find the transporter in Buffalo's stage to Vile's substage, it would generate this very impressive mood whiplash, similar to the one you get from when the intro stage's theme change's to Zero's theme. Thank you for creating such wonderful music that was a very fond memory from my youth. =)

[@Ishidori85]

Also, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your beautiful music through the years, specially in such a wonderful game as it is Castlevania ❤️ Thanks James Banana, I love that pseudonym 😁 Merry christmas!

[@ChosenOneSNK]

In my absolute ignorance, I would never imagine that these magical songs that I grew up with were composed by a beautiful woman like her. I'm amazed by her beauty and her talent.

[@neonhalos]

I love this very much, beautiful to hear in piano composition ♡ I will keep watching over and over! Your work on the Rockman series is among my favorite musical pieces. thank you!

[@SamuelCarrier]

For me, this song became the template for what "ice wasteland" stages should strive for in terms of ambiance since the first time I heard it. Simply beautiful.

[@parrata]

Still my favourite rendition of this song

[@bastiandv8968]

La imagen de un mundo congelado, me hace recordar a Crystal Tokyo de Sailor Moon R

[@flamespear86]

This is such a beautiful composition. It feels even more at home on the piano than the original digital. You've contributed so many wonderful hours to my life that I can't say thank you enough. I always play Vampire Killer and so many of your works on repeat! I was worried because I couldn't find any posts or news from you newer than 6 or 7 years but I've finally noticed you liking very recent comments and that brought a great deal of relief and joy that you're just quietly living your life. ありがとうございます！

[@gatinho6248]

X3 is SOOO underrated :/ for me is in my top 3 vg of all time

[@RetroPerspective]

X3 was better than X2. The second game in that series was sad in comparison to the first and third.

[@RaydeusMX]

Always loved the Blizzard Buffalo theme when I was younger, never thought one day I would be able to see the original composer playing it on the piano! Truly amazing!!

[@SasuSeoLuva]

A lovely performance. Thank you so much for sharing this! It captures an ice cold world so clearly and perfectly. The Zero theme at the beginning almost seems like it was made for this rendition of Blizzard Buffalo's theme. Also, I love your work in Mega Man X3! :)

[@RetrospectHero]

"....with the image of an ice cold world. Very, very cold." I wont lie I turned up the volume and would stare at the landscape of the level for long periods of time. It just fit the mood so perfectly , a frozen city and the melody . Always loved this song

[@krydder]

I have always liked the music in the Megaman-games (at least in the original games and the X-games). I have always admired the composers of the music from the games. I am one of your biggest fan (since you are one of the music composers from a Megaman-game).

[@maricate]

I can feel the cold sensation, for me you are one of the greatest the castlevania soundtrack it's the most beautiful masterpiece

[@ac5623]

Thank you for this composition, X3's stages really feel like they were designed after the music! Blizzard Buffalo's stage felt frozen to the bone

[@planit2099]

This is arguably the best piece of music in the entire Mega Man X series.

[@pacnb]

Arguably indeed, because there are some pretty fuckin' good ones!

[@planit2099]

Nah, its the best. I've had 9 years to think about it.

[@lefordesiano]

Tia como la quiero ojala hiciera mas contenido.😃👍

[@uandresbrito5685]

I'm not very fond of X3's soundtrack as a whole, but this theme grew in me over the years. Thank you a lot for it.

[@AlluMan96]

I always loved this track the most out of all the tracks in MMX3. While all the others were more focused on being badass heavy metal, this track really took it's time to fit alongside the level astetic. It really does fit the feeling of a winter view. Very beautiful but baren. Peaceful & clean while also being very sad in it's own way & foreboding cause of the extreme coldness. This remix does a very good job in bringing forth that same feeling. Does it even better then the original.

[@Ancodeudw]

Since I first played x3, Blizzard Buffalo theme is the one that always came to my mind when thinking in ice and cold. I love it so thank you for creating it! ^^ also, love the piano arrangement

[@flavioaugusto2202]

I'm so glad that i can finally thank the person who created one of my favorite songs of all time. You, ma'am, composed something really beautiful. The expression of cold is so deep. Its certainly a beautiful melody. And what to say about this piano arrangement? Its just gorgeous. Breathtaking. Thank you so much for everything you done. I'm not exagerating when i say you made my life more pleasant.(my ears find it very pleasant as well haha)

[@shalpp]

Kinuyo, I'm a massive fan of the work you did in X3, as well as what you composed for Gofer no Yabo EPII. I can feel a bit of the Hellraiser theme as you perform Blizzard Buffalo's stage. Thanks for shaping my adolescence !!

This and Gravity beetle always rememeber me of my old school and myself doing things I though i would never do, while a feeling of determinations fills my soul. Its all thanks to her...

[@Luigithehomie91]

When I learned you composed the music for X3, I was a little giddy! I loved the soundtrack, even if people complained about the instrument selection, Blizzard Buffalo was one of the most outstanding songs from the game, it was so depressing yet so beautiful. Well done, Miss Yamashita. :) This is why you are an inspiration, and one of my favorite composers, EVER. I will make my version a response to this, maybe you could see it sometime I will post my version as a response, even

Oh... My... God... With all due respect to the SNES/SFC sound chip, it is incapable of showing how great this song (and indeed the whole soundtrack for X3) really is! These are my favorite tracks from X3... now if you did Vampire Killer, Wicked Child, Heart of Fire, Out of Time and Voyager like this... I could probably die happy just listening to it! Thank you so much for posting this!!!
