Mushoku Tensei's OP is Music of the Modern Minstrel

[@pmmm712011]

Wow, this song was the best op I've heard in many years, and to think that the composer, singer, lyricist was just one person. How insanely rare is that talent, and how did studio bind get all these top talent to work together?

[@GengaJupite]

Right?? I'm always blown away by the level of skill it takes for one person to do 3+ parts for one song!

This anime is brilliantly and masterfully crafted beyond belief. I can only count on one hand the amount of media I’ve encountered this incredible. A beautiful adaption for a masterpiece of fiction

[@I.disagree]

I can never get bored of hearing the full version of tabibito no uta. Even the other version of it that plays in part 2

[@kallistikaleid]

This OP full version went into my daily playlist immediately. You make spectacular content, my dude.

[@gabrielviana5595]

Holy shit this man summarizes the whole first and second cour without even reading it. Just through looking at sheet music damn

[@supermarketone]

I would love to hear your thoughts on the new version of this op now that the season is over.

[@vp7877]

when the second version of this song hit I nearly cried not capping

[@NotAFanMan88]

Wonderful take on this piece, its something I've overlooked despite really liking the music. You'll definitely get an answer to your lyrical questions this summer, and the following 6 cours I hope we'll get. Now with the BD release, the whole OST has been a pleasure for listening. Its not something that you notice while initially watching since it blends in so well to set the mood, albeit simplistic.

[@GengaJupite]

Thanks so much! I remember sitting kind of stunned when it played for the first time and knew right away that I wanted to break it down. Really looking forward to what the next season has in store!

[@Banaaniapina692]

Listening to you explain some of the stuff the music might be hinting at, I can totally see the music hinting at stuff waaaay in the future. Super interesting. Makes me appreciate it more and more.

[@theapexsurvivor9538]

Yeah, the "when you embrace something you cherish, this is love (not properly understood)" line seems to be a pretty much perfect encapsulation of the grand dysfunction arc, as well as some of the other characters who develop as a result of it.

[@crimsonbenedetta9291]

I am no musician, but everytime I listen to it, I develop fake memories and the feeling of bliss as if walking in a prairie at sunset. It's a blissful feeling thats why this is my favorite opening of all time. P.s. I prefer adventure animes than shounen/action.

[@Sora-dragneel]

I love this song. I really love Tabi no Tochuu but the playlist are lonely with only that song there, so i am really happy that i found another song for the playlist.

[@12Penpaper]

Oh man, I was gonna say, this is highly reminiscent of Tabi no Tochuu. Glad to run into a kindred spirit :D

[@OtakuByNight]

Looking forward to you analyzing the second cour's music.

[@FerZAlv]

Awesome vid and analysis. Just makes me to like more this song and anime

[@kllrnooooova]

It is very clear that Studio Bind put a lot of effort into adapting the masterpiece that is Truck-kun's first victim. Also, will you be doing an analysis on Mezame no Uta?

[@GengaJupite]

I'm thinking about it! I'd certainly like to but I haven't really gotten any ideas for what to talk about aside from just the lyrics, so for now it's still a maybe

[@kllrnooooova]

@@GengaJupite imo, the lyrics are interesting enough to make a video on it. The song itself takes the original bardic melody and twists it into something much more similar to an exotic tune. Not only that, it sounds like it's being sung by Eris to Rudeus. Also, will you do videos on more recent anime OP and soundtracks like Horimiya and Yurucamp s2?

[@Chappie432]

Bro what this only has 95 views?! This a great video man, keep it up

[@Lonst_183]

This song is very motivational to me.

[@beejazz3185]

Wow I just found out your channel and it’s absolutely amazing! I dropped out of school trying to learn music and go to music school. It’s hard because I’ve never had any experience in instruments or music theory but your video motivates me a lot to learn. I really hope your channel gets a lot more recognition.

[@mapokko5191]

Incredible analisys my man! You've literally put into words the feeling that this awesome piece makes me feel. Nice job

I wish I had paid more attention in high school Spanish class so I wouldn't need google translate for this but I think I got the gist 😅 Thank you!

[@Ma-Sa-666]

Nice video, I really like this song. Anyone knows any good guitar tutorial? No finger style but the accompaniment or some sort of arragement of the instrumental part.

[@Sergio-hn9vr]

Awesome video, bro. You look like fluent in English and Japanese, lol. Thus, the edition is really great. I was wondering where did you find that sheet (or if you did it by yourself), and if you can share it, cause I was looking for to see where each instrument plays at all the song's parts. Thanks in advance!

[@thesquareofstalingrad8926]

Great analysis btw, may I ask where did you get that music sheet, the ones which i found are mostly piano only, so i might want to do something with it :) thanks!

[@GengaJupite]

Thanks, I make all the transcriptions myself, and they're available for my patrons!

[@danielcabanatan7296]

The song is familiar. Its like remiding me of a similar anime vibes. Do you have any suggestion of similar anime song? Thank you

[@sora2961]

Listen I know this is gonna be a weird opinion but I prefer Mushoku tensei op 5 over all of them because of its meaning and the backstory of the character it’s talking about but also the music itself is one of my favorites of all time because it’s calm almost like a “mother’s melody” and it’s amazing

[@kazadori164]

i have no clue what you just said.

[@carlosserna521]

If you don't mind, where did you get the sheet music for the op?

[@GengaJupite]

I made it myself, and all of my transcriptions are available on my Patreon!

[@jonasw3945]

Most Jpop artist do write their songs and even do the composing especially if they are part of a band, I don't know where you got the idea that they don't, actually western pop singers have more tendency of having tons of writers and producers in their credits than jpop, unless you are talking about idols in which case that is a different thing. Other than that great analysis of the music, the anime is a near perfect show, great characters, animation, storytelling and music

[@GengaJupite]

If it's music for their own band, then yes, but looking at the credits for almost every single or album put out by a jpop artist will show that they usually have a composer or producer doing the actual track composition. It's more common for them to get involved with the songwriting, but even then it's not a rare occurrence for the lyrics to be credited to the composer/producer as well. There are artists like Vaundy and SIRUP who are well-known for producing for both themselves and others, but they're more the exception than the norm. This isn't a slight against the jpop industry, it's just how the pop music industry works everywhere to varying degrees.

(((SPOILERS FOR PART 2)))!!!!)))) id REALLY LOVE to hear your disection of the Kikyou version from the final episode, how the changes in dynamics and melody reflect the way the tone changes at the turning point chapter and so on

[@chrisc.73]

I second this

[@ynvhalc5856]

Erm , I get the parts where you correlate the music to the story beats , but when you're talking about notes , it's all going over my head . I think I'm missing it when you say "a transition between these notes means this" but I don't get the significance of the individual notes at all . It's like the language of the flowers for me , I know it exists but I don't know how to speak it . Don't mean to bug , but do you have a glossary of these notes and their emotional implications , can't quite seem to google them right..

[@GengaJupite]

I'm not really sure what you're asking for. If you're having trouble understanding music theory, there isn't really a simple way to explain it outside of simply learning music theory (it's essentially an entire language of its own). Notes don't necessarily mean anything by themselves, but its the context they're used in that allows for compositional and musical interpretation. Honestly, I wish I could explain music theory in a few sentences, but it's not such an easy thing to break down, so I'd suggest searching up basic music theory and music modes if you want to get a grasp of the basics.

[@ynvhalc5856]

Music Theory , now that's a term I can look up . Thanks for replying , keep up the videos , I look forward to a breakdown of mezame no uta , if possible .
