Already Over Sessions: Episode 5 [Tokyo] - Mike Shinoda

"Already Over Sessions EP" // Out Now - mshnd.co/AO-Sessions
"Already Over" // Out Now - mshnd.co/alreadyover
"The Crimson Chapter EP" // Out Now - mshnd.co/crimsonchapter
In making "Already Over," I wrote and played all the instruments myself. But to play it live, I loved the idea of playing with a range of talented musicians who were all “locals.”
This is the first and only time we all played together.

You guys killed it! Thanks for sharing.

[@nakiacarmimancilla2916]

After watching all the Already Over Sessions, the Japanese are on another level, congratulations to everyone!

[@Berkut888Gaming]

Japanese folks are just on another level when they play instruments...

[@chrisw443]

That piano just in the back hitting the melody was so good.

[@kristinabattles1955]

That piano just adds a depth to this piece honestly.

[@orderla8877]

Yeah it's beautiful, for them its norm.❤

[@ninjacow]

Yoo Mike Shinoda is so real for this. Giving space for young Japanese musicians to shine on his platform.

[@agushb]

Definitely, Tokyo is the best session by far ❤

[@ashutosharyendu1241]

Mike is half Japanese, which makes this session "extra special" ❤️

[@amytt1996]

Japanese musicians are just incredibly amazing, holy sheesh!

[@Igor_Kuba]

Кайф. Чистый кайф. Японцы обогнали и перегнали. Соглашусь со всеми, это действительно иной уровень - идеальный.

[@TitoGrillo]

I vote for Mike touring with these guys!

Piano solo is HOT! 🔥

[@curtishaigh9211]

The piano part in the second verse is what the song needed, keep that without a doubt

[@fumi-fumin5547]

This piano makes this song more versatile

[@huynhcris]

These Japanese musicians are just on another level 🤯

[@jak.3971]

The piano / bass interpretation is crazy. The next JJK Opening ? haha

[@quixotichero6647]

This is easily the best version of this song.

[@faiznuralam977]

that slaps and piano things looks like real japanese version, so far this the best ❤

[@lpgiu]

this group is insanely good! Mike's voice keeps sounding better and better and that RTN piano intro gave me chills! my favorite AO session so far.

[@Rusli1659LPSoldier]

same, the piano just adds the a smoothing sound. I can't imagine if the violin strings and the piano blended together.

[@user-lo7lr6ni5b]

マイキファンです！ありがとうございます✨✨😭❤ うわ！よみぃもいる！！幸せ！！😭❤

[@mc-bu6bz]

マイキが叩いているってだけでもうれしいのによみぃまでいる 良くない訳がない

[@shotgunuser9560]

not trying to disrespect the other musicians, but these are the best so far that Mike has played with, all are good though and very talented

[@prajnadeva]

Fun fact, all japan musicians youtube subs all added together will be around 3 millions ++

[@lordasuka]

Há. I came here to say the same thing haha. Sorry guys but this version is awesome 🖤

[@stormluna5136]

Agreed 💯 🔥

[@hilmizainol-rw3px]

Right? I think so too..

[@twtwtw1]

100%

[@honusmom5144]

Amazing, loved this the best. MINA, Kazuki and Maiki are great. Had to laugh with Yomii because I remember his joke on Mike earlier, pretending not to know how to play the piano. Great job everybody. Be cool to have all 5 groups get together.

[@viasil.0865]

Genial, buen comienzo ❤❤❤

[@kuschelfreddy]

I have to say this is by far the best version of the song. So much power and that piano still fits so well. It's really awesome.

[@user-yc8fy9ps7v]

夢見てぇなバンドだ…😂

[@shirzeon9258]

I love this the best, i listen to the other episodes and i think this is my fav, I just really love the piano and the more i listen to this, the more i notice how good the other instruments are too, like the base , guitar, and drums , i would love to see more collab with them! 🙏

[@AlexanderOdukha]

The level of preparation of participants and their skill level is astonishingly good. Folks were not afraid to spice up the melody while still keeping the main line intact. Definitely one of the best sessions so far. Kudos to all involved!

[@IndraGunawan-eo4sm]

This one is incredible version. Japanese rock is on another level. The addition of classic piano, the gosh note on the drum, bass chopping ,the energy, and the techniques,, so great

[@zenepow]

Japanese musicians always give different colours to the music 🎉

[@0nopenope0]

The piano is a really nice touch.

[@tragos9414]

Japanese people have such a unique sense of music... unmatched.

[@jjason000123]

Thale piano and bass in this one goes crazy wtf, elevated the song to the next level

[@jayrcabz524]

That Piano is 🔥🔥🔥

[@8bitPrincess]

Yeeeess

[@djdiegomarteens]

Sorry for the rest of the guys who was playing in the other lives before Tokyo … but this crew put the song in another level!!!!!!

[@alanoliveira6714]

L.A nailed it

[@ebertpimenta5905]

O mlk da bateria tava possuído!!!

[@__-du2hm]

よみぃさんの動画観て見に来たけど今まで海外の曲を全く聴いたことがなかったけどめっちゃ好き

[@matheusrodrigues8999]

This might be the best entry so far, Japanese people always take things to the next level. Also, loved to see a Fort Minor tune resurfacing. I hope Mike tours again, The Rising Tied needs to be performed live

[@KizaTheShaddow]

Bro they become the best at everything they do it’s crazy

[@JediShoalinVigilante]

Mike said that he eventually will tour again but he will put out more music first.

[@matheusrodrigues8999]

That's great news

[@Razorkvn]

Right.. best AO Session 🔥

[@Dave97Inc]

Yes and Mike should take Ryu and Takhbir with him as special guest act

[@blidesendy2011]

This is great.., this is insane.., japanesse sound.., tottally brutal, tottally different than other sessions 🔥🔥

[@user-nk8wj9rd7o]

ピアノうまっ！

[@chandraabudiman]

Okay this is definitely my favorite out of all 5 episodes. That slap bass, piano solo and guitar solo is just amazing!

[@Fl0d3r]

I appreciated the others but this one is probably the best by now. Japan people are on another level.

[@TwoQs]

This is the best one by far. It was like the were all competing to be the most impressive musician in the room and they all won.

[@Louis1996_1]

Great comment

[@putrinorma1]

This is the best arrangement so far. The sound is very japanese rock. ❤️😎 Besttttt!!!

[@UnilakeshanLP]

These are the guys mike should be touring with ❤

[@NOISREVIEW]

You can even tell mike was really into this session. He's enjoying this one

[@reinbald]

exactly - Tokyo and London are may fav's for the moment

[@Jelle-1106]

My favorite is that one of london because they changest it up a little bit but sticked to the same roots

[@kiyomithoene2048]

Oh !! this is far better than what I had been following since 1.Session! Great idea to adapt “ real piano “ not just keyboard!! Please release the version of these talented players, especially with “ classic piano “ ( not a boring keyboard version) !! Yomii is the best!!

[@Bengeljo]

The Tokyo Session was so awsome :0 The piano part and the guitar solo blew me away

[@willmoore5862]

Nice touch adding the piano!

[@justmyrandomstuff]

It's actually typically how Japanese would do it. This meshes very well together, is hyper stylish and very much deserving of getting this group together again for more of this synergy. The energy that flows from it is awesome and I bet that each musician must have gotten an enormous kick out of this!

[@SamsWatchReview]

2:10 didn't expect that, awesome

[@lpfanatik]

So amazing!!! I'm really speechless... This session in Tokyo must be one of the best sessions until now! Already Over with piano was so magic, it gives a extra special vibe to the song, a new energy and breathtaking. And Remember the Name with more Rock was a really nice surprise!! Sugee!!

[@perry3770]

These guys really made this song sound so much better than the ordinary single version.

[@kerrytyk111]

Yeah this is the best version so far

[@erwinsmith3198]

Well…there’s always some asians 😂

[@jaxxteem]

I liked the one where the girl was singin too

[@duaneshaffer4427]

Nah this was a bunch of people more concerned with sounding cool than making a good track

[@user-rw1dl5ju9b]

@@duaneshaffer4427Who says you can’t do both lol But yea there’s a mismatch between their energy and the tone of the lyrics.

[@prscustom24love]

よくぞこのメンツを選んでくれた！

[@mattdegnan2989]

So far, this one is the best, hands down. That bass in the beginning was such a surprise, followed by the lead guitar lines and piano, then the all out punk rock section.

[@SyggyPlays]

This is probably the best one yet, Mike. Skill, Space, and Synergy. This group plays like a proper band and not just 4 separate musicians like in the other ones.

[@vulcan-channel]

This piano arrangement was great. I wish you would release this soundtrack.

[@TheArcherus]

Japanese artist are on another hole level, wow

[@walterzolkin]

those guys where by far the best skilled musicans of all of those groups.

[@twtwtw1]

THIS is the best version of Already Over ,hands down. IMHO

[@javierflores9352]

Jumping Jesus! this version of "Remember the name" :O It's simply awesome

[@daydreamhero1374]

i knew this version is gonna be technical..japanese musicians are insane! really good..

[@Sam-jy5tf]

This one's clearly the most original sounding, reworked Song compared to the Others that mostly were Covers with guests

[@LaceFX]

BEST ONE love the pianist, bassist and guitarist and drummer they were all great and you sounded your best Mike!

[@jagarsolon7137]

This is by far my favorite among all the versions! The Japanese Rock vibe really is so magical for me.

[@christinab.2614]

Killer piano solo! Loved the extended interludes!!

[@putrinorma1]

That bass, guitar, piano, and drums all nailed it!

[@RizzrakTV]

HOLY SHIT that was amazing, all the instrument variations are so cool Japanese rock musicians are just built different especially the bass, she slapped the f**k out of it. How did you even do it in one day? You should just make a band with them Mike even your vocals sounded better than usual with all those amazing people

[@DisingenuousComment]

They're so polished with their instruments. Japanese musicians on another level for real. And their still very young

[@emmavaria]

The entire band was great, but Yomii and Mina in particular were just KILLING IT. End to end. I'm in awe.

[@B4Him4ever]

I agree!

[@nancysprague6146]

Beautiful. Loved the piano in this one.

[@UltimateShadow1936]

Only Japan could make this!!!! Amazing, best so far!!!!

[@Ruben91lp]

Listening to this non-stop. Can’t believe how awesome it is. I love how everyone’s able to display their mad skills. Also, the voicings added by the piano and guitar in the 2nd verse and pre chorus are awesome. So much awesomeness packed in just 2 songs, I can’t even comprehend all of it

[@alextorry4057]

This one was super cool! I love how the musicians instinctively put such a J-rock kind of spin on the whole song! this is definitely one of the standouts from these sessions for sure!

[@TakeTheLeepx]

Yes! It has this whole "anime sound"-energy going on. The added piano melody in the second verse was some straight up Final Fantasy magic too :).

[@francoisvT]

Damn that was a great set you all did excellent and really love the piano for this one. Did not expect the Fort Minor song but excellent choice for the group.

[@justvibin4697]

This actually feels like J-Pop Anime Opening, specially that piano part. Loved it!

[@user-rw1dl5ju9b]

Ikr, definitely nothing you’d have gotten from his actual band.

[@shawnc5188]

I was just thinking the opening for Shangri-La Frontier (by a virtual band called FZMZ) sounds LP inspired!

[@gatayumi9139]

他のepisodeも試聴したが、tokyoバージョンはキーボードをピアノに替えたことで音がシステマチックで複雑になり新鮮で楽しめた。

[@levinstade7304]

With the piano it gave me absolute Naruto vibes. Reminder me of the outro of the first few episodes. I think it was called Wind by Akeboshi

[@diegoca6]

that piano

[@bschuss1]

Never liked Remember The Name without the non-Mike verses. Killer song in it's completeness, but not like that. Really digged the piano parts in this session of Already Over though!

[@jasilhemd6813]

These kids are awesome... the Piano, the bass, the Guitar and the drums you can really recognize their creativity.

[@Nosedrillmusic]

Awesome version of 'Remember the name'. Fantastic musicians. Great job. Greetz to japan from switzerland.

[@shudson23]

Damn this is way better that piano solo and guitar solo were spot on, and that bass roaring❤❤❤❤

[@Matteo_the_Plague_Doctor]

This is by far the best one! It's one thing to play the song, but they took it and added their own spice to it! I'd much rather hear a unique take than a 100% faithful recreation. Let Japan cook!

[@LimaAleja]

La influencia del estilo del rock japones que aportan los intérpretes le da a la canción demasiada fuerza. Increíble. Mi favorita de todas la sesiones

[@kadria893]

Totally, it's the best performance EVER!!!

[@BrunoMatheeus_]

Ok, instrumentally, this is the best version!

[@joaniepeters2565]

I’ll tell you what.. Japanese players can capture that true raw American rock sound better than we can, they take it to a whole new raw level always full of crazy energy.. like your 15 years old and get to play in front of people.. but good

[@DisingenuousComment]

thats why Marty Friedman is in Japan lol

[@gsusfrk333]

The piano addition is sweet.

[@Antbeat88]

Wow what a beautiful performance, the bass, guitar and piano coordination mind blowing!! And not to forget the drummer, the drum rolls in the build up wesshhh tastyyyy!! i love japan man they are amazing in their music !! Very happy to hear this version of the song and all the love for Mike Shinoda always impressing us and growing amazing!
