Where should we go nxt with Arknights music?? For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony

[@tomatomaki]

I recommend you very much Settle into Ash.

[@miyo443]

Requiem would be amazing.

[@tomatomaki]

@@miyo443 How about Der Hexenkönig?

[@sibericusthefrosty9950]

All, right from the beginning 😊

[@trungcaycanh5156]

@@tomatomaki Der Hexenkönig? oh. that is good.

[@spiritus_noctis]

The flute theme you hear at the beginning comes from Schubert's "Ständchen" (serenade) As you guessed correctly, classical music is a part of the character's (Ebenholz') background An Arknights theme I'd love to see you discuss is "Stainless Heart", as I think you'd especially enjoy the percussion used in it.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

This was Schubert? No wonder the beginning was so good. Lol. I should have done some research instead of just jumping in

[@flashmozzg]

Damn, I knew it was from some classical piece, but couldn't figure out from which. Thanks!

[@gonoki888]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts The battle theme for the upcoming event is also referencing Schubert famous piece 'Erlkönig'. You can check the theme by searching "Der Hexenkönig"

[@ExceedProduction]

Leise fliehen meine Lieder durch die Nacht zu Dir

[@genesispaulv2202]

10 months. The hive mind has been alerted. Besides having the same title, the motif of Ebenholz's EP is the same as Franz Schubert's composition. The melancholy is strong. If this is not to your tastes, I would like you to react to either Operation pyrite Radiant All hail, Savior. Toward her light Awaken Arknight's soundtrack covers a wide range of genres, so there is no shortage of options to react to.

[@cortomontagnon5625]

Damn i went one time on your stream to tell you to go back to some arknights a few days ago, my prayers have been answered 🙏

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I think it was your reminder that did it for me

[@cortomontagnon5625]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts glad to hear that sir

[@DannyJ3636]

Arknights has so much music content that its a missed opportunity to not react to a chunk of them. Would be interesting to hear Zwillingstürme im Herbst battle theme 2

[@garrettwhite3828]

Please do Zwillingstürme im Herbst battle theme 2!! my other fav is the So Long, Adele. Lobby Theme Day

[@krismas7531]

Little context: Character is known as Ebenholz and he has lost a very precious person who he wished to play music together with. I think of the peaceful parts as him thinking of the good times he had with his friend but then the drums and guitar is him beating himself up for not being able to save his friend. Its hate, anger and Guilt.

[@Vanaris.]

Grown up's Paradise just got released a day ago for arknights 5th anniversary, made by Mili

[@abduhzuhdi8391]

damn, didn't expect this song appear in this channel, as an arknight fans, of course I love to see it and want to see your insight. try "morning dew" next time, It has a good vibe forr morning activity

[@poisonedart1333]

Lessing is a great piece. Sounds like it's straight out of mid two-thousands rock.

[@khol1611]

Nah, pal, that's neat reaction. They're many did experiment. And especially this one. And yeah, you're right, with context or not, it's very emotional.... For him.... The character....

[@Infinite_Star]

the hive mind never forgets

[@zin6196]

For Arknights stuff I think you would like, I would suggest Winter Absolution or Requiem.

[@SilverKarma]

Please Requiem next

[@trungcaycanh5156]

the acoustic guirta sound so good

[@tarta5844]

Its indeed a song that grows in you after you play the event story with his tragic story. There is a lot to hear from arknights and i end forgeting about them xD but maybe you could hear Awaken, Revealing, Thorns in You, Stainless Heart as someone said. Its a bit hard to pick because i feel they are more focused in the vocals rather than the instrument but aside of that all arknights songs are really great when you listen to them as a whole.

[@zomfgroflmao1337]

Schubert was indeed a great composer. xD Ständchen was composed in 1826. So basically, what you liked was the classical composition, and didn't like how they fused it with the more modern style later on. Might I interest you in some classical compositions, sir?

[@IamHero_1337]

Arknights! Standchen is amazing, it's from one of my favorite events from the game. Would definitely love to see more Arknights in the future. There are just so many good songs.

[@hadimustafa3378]

I would recommend lullaby,Martyr,Lone trail loby theme and both the boss theme and stage theme for Hortus de Escapismo event

[@mickbotcast]

the entire country that this character is bring from is a Music-Magic focus German, there lot of reference toward classical music and musician. their previous king "the Witch King" can use song to cause mass horrifying effect on massive battlefield.

[@JoeMama-sl8ux]

I don’t know literally anything about arknights but I do know Mili and that she did a song for arknights very recently, the song is heartbreaking and even though you arent a lyrics guy this song is emotional enough i believe it warrants a look. The song is Grown-up’s Paradise

[@paulocarvalho6480]

Sometimes I wonder how anime shows and games have better music than movies. Even music not associated with games, tv shows and movies. It's amazing how many great compositions wouldn't be known otherwise.

[@sibericusthefrosty9950]

1:34 "Cello at the background..." :( 5:57 This is Arknights music, baby. They will always try to twist something in a genre. What if I told you that the whole mash up with rock has a character implication? So yeah, shame that you don't know who Franz von Urtica is.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

What the problem is

[@nlgarmdevil4411]

the first couple of bars of this song are literally just Schuberts Ständchen. They even share the name :)

[@chaook]

The tone will forever be empty without the warming, radiant cello.

[@Sintrania]

I feel that when you leave a room for each instrument and let the other fill in the background aka don’t cram the sound in every frequency in at the same time, it create such a clarity and make music really shine.

[@IvoryMadness.]

that was amazing!

[@Immensity0O]

Love this song

[@Daniel-mx9sd]

Ständchen is the German word for serenade

[@bakutie]

ay one of my favs from robert wolf

[@Waiter1986]

yo i know you’be already done a lot of jjk stuff but if you’re wanting to i’d love to see a video on “Remember” (plays in the last ep of s1). One of my favorite songs from the series

[@narius_jaden215]

I love how the vocalist just instantly reminded me of Kamelot's early days the first time I heard this.

[@scalchop3549]

Other commenters have said as much already, but there's such a variety in Arknights music that you could fall in love with like half the soundtrack. My personal favorite track is And Yet it Wanes, and I think you'd have a lot of fun with that one

[@user-sd8ux3vz3v]

The non classical part is plot relevant. The protagonist uses the drum to piss off the sounds in his mind

[@2Rice]

The mid section has influences from Phantom of the Opera, which is where the midi/guitar/percussion is coming from. Arknights compositions are in general known to combine genres, however.

[@anniemeridian270]

I really like that combination and that musical feel, genius

[@mewbork]

YESSSS MORE ARKNIGHTS

[@Joaov5090]

Hi Tony, is the Vitor of the live, Nice video

[@typical_doza]

Tony…. We need more City Pop man

[@hago66]

I agree with not being fan of the drums. But dang is this a moody song and beginning is amazing to listen to. Not to mention that the singer performs good. One of my favourites from Arknights. Another what I can recommend from Arknights (if you like moody songs and russian singing) is Прощание, Hellagur's theme and Requiem.

[@niklassjvar1635]

Try thorns in you, roaring 20s vibe I think(?)

[@wolffin5371]

Would suggest "towards her light" from arknights tracks if celtic is for you.

[@voltorian-games]

i'd love to see a hortus de escapismo boss theme or babel boss theme reaction

[@Necvi-C]

I recomend Revearing

[@Necvi-C]

And terra investment master class

[@HateIsJustice]

The lack of context is part of what makes seeing people react to these so magical. They're left trying to figure out the theme, context and reasoning behind certain aspects of the production while having a relatively unbiased or neutral representation of them. All while enjoying what said product provides. Also wow, has it really been 10 months since the last time you reacted to one of these from Arknights? Wild. Additionally, if it isn't apparent that this is an iteration from Arknights of a classical music production, the "album" of the event it comes from or with has more renditions of classical works, such as "Flight of the Bumblebee" and what not lol. So for those familiar with Classical Music, it's quite something lol!

[@Leo-oh9zr]

SIGNALIS fans salute o7

[@TheDjdeath45]

blue archive gregorius reaction would be peak

[@jorunojobana568]

Could you do the tabibito no uta for mushoku tensei reacts? It was so beautiful ngl

[@decknamen4948]

Arknights has phenomenal music, great reaction! I would recommend checking out music from Punishing Gray Raven. There are phenomenal OSTs there as well!

[@pranjalsingh152]

made in abyss!

[@dargon71020]

Have you thought about reacting to Fujii Kaze: Tiny Desk Concerts JAPAN from NPR?

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Tiny desks concerts get blocked

[@theabyss45]

Please react to Awaken next! I think you'll have a lot to examine with it!

[@jozu5736]

react to plastic love pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee

[@kazumikanchi]

thank you for reacting to Arknigjts song! Please do reaction on Mili - Grown up's Paradise 🙏🙏🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[@Finnkiller4147]

Please do Zombies on your lawn by ImRuscelOfficial quite possibly the best pvz jazz arrangement ever

[@charizardgamez447]

[@luisalonsoalcarazhull6459]

day 9 asking for reaction to eve's- tokyo ghetto

[@forkschneider]

Okay so basically this is about a gay german goat boy and he's sad that his boyfriend died Also he has a dead king in his head that won't stop pestering

[@Vertutame]

"I lost my old and only friend" "He sacrificed himself to free me from this curse" "And he died for nothing" "I got my freedom, lost my identity" "I burned everything and start play the music to reminisce the past when I played music with my friends" No shit, he's brooding

[@Vertutame]

I think the gear changed because of what happened to him He came up with calm, polite and very elegant He got out being piss about everything. This music on it's own is cool but context makes the whole thing a lot better
