Video Question: Which Anime OST has your favorite guitar playing? 👀 Thank you YikesBradley for the Patreon Request! Patreon 👉 www.patreon.com/drumrolltonyreacts

[@addytw2136]

For me its: Bleach OST - Battle Ignition (E guitar) Bleach OST Nube Negra (Acoustic Flamenco?) Magi OST Valse Hot (E guitar) Basically I love Shiro Sagisu, great osts from him!

[@ericdragon4137]

Valse Hot Magi Ost

[@jarod9115]

FLCL is pretty famous for its OST and features some great guitar work. Also need to give a shoutout to Megalo Box, particularly seaosn 2

[@saim8524]

For me : Naruto Shippuuden-Kokuten

[@Aristaeus89]

You gotta check out music from "Bocchi the Rock!". It's an anime about a Guitarist and her band. The band put out an actual album and an EP. As a guitarist, Bocchi is a legit inspiration. The guitar is showcased in a very tasteful manner. For specific recommendations: - "Seishun Complex" Their most known song and OP. Catchy, very well made song. - "That band" This one is featured in an iconic episode. Guitar SLAPS. I think you'd prefer listening to the full versions btw.

[@OPGMitaki]

We gotta encourage this guy to not be so self-conscious about pausing too much. He explains why the music is so good in ways not many music reactors do. He has probably gotten lots of hate for this and that's why he's so conscious about it.

[@Jay_D_Ashe]

Enjoying is better than overexplaining imo That's why people hate nerds

[@franzmikolan4109]

Yukinoshita heyo!

[@AldenEmroch]

@@Jay_D_Ashe but this channel is not just about plain reaction is about explaining music and enjoying it too, i like him stopping to explain, for a regular reaction there's a lot of other channels

[@booey316]

I love it.

[@Jay_D_Ashe]

@@AldenEmroch meh, it makes the music unenjoyable by breaking it. You lose half of what you need to explain, and even like that, it's already too much.

[@gibbs1716]

without spoiling too much, this song is the crew's big return after their darkest points

[@thats_a_stupid_nickname1936]

I feel like this is such a criminally under appreciated One Piece song. It is almost never mentioned in the community when discussing the best/most iconic songs from the series, even though it is an absolute banger that symbolises such an important part of the story (I wish I could say more, but that would be spoilers) and is made by the same guy who did the first opening, which is easily the most iconic one piece song. Personally, I adore this song. It is such an incredible musical piece, easily my favourite opening from the show, so it’s absolutely incredible to see that you enjoyed and appreciated it as much as I do! Thank you for listening to it and kudos to YikesBradley for requesting it on Patreon!

[@Druidlover]

It was the opening for a bit too many episodes so I think a lot of people got burnt out on it.

[@akaneki7234]

@@Druidlover We had this opening every week for over 2 years so yeah, the burnout was real.

[@matu6070]

@@Druidloverits my favorite but tbf i read one piece

[@venori5785]

almost 100%%% positive its because it was during the fishman island arc and a lot of people didn't really care about it. If it played for wano or for like marineford or something it would definetly be talked about more than any other opening besides the first i think.

[@amvibes9633]

Very much agree. Even I forget about it in favor of the first opening of the series. Whenever I hear this one again I'm like OH YEA THIS ONE!!!!

[@alansmithee1412]

What's fun about that brassy opener is that it is accompanied in the anime by the initial narration that kicked off the first opening, "We Are"/the series as a whole ("Wealth. Fame. Power.", etc. etc.), with the buildup as the narrator exclaims the final lines ("This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era!") emphasizing just how grand of a tale the viewer is about to embark upon.

[@humanoidfrog4645]

jiiiiiiii- dekinai

[@Nastyn1nja808]

WE GOOOOOOOO! To the New World!!!!!!!!!!

[@hotdogdoodoowater]

Also something fun about the lyrics is the japanese/english wordplay in the chorus. Ichi(1), ni(2), sun(san(3)) shine, yon (4), we Go(5).

[@ceo_cheese]

I didn't realized that, that's smart 😮

[@RenderingUser]

shine also sounds like "shi" (4)

[@MrVokiman]

@@RenderingUser not really - japanese "shi" (4) is pronounced like english "she", whith english "shine" sounding very very different, sorry bud

[@Tysurgemeh]

Just realized this it’s so fricken cool!!

[@Shiftarus]

@@MrVokiman you cant think of any similarities between the sound of "shee" and the sound of "shy"? Heres an answer and also some free advice. Shhhhhh

[@seastian_]

We need more one piece openings reactions!

[@doubleB3102]

I could listen to you break down these songs all day, absolutely love your insight on one my absolute favorite anime openings!

[@DrOctavius99]

It never occurred to me that I've never listened to the full version of this song so that guitar solo threw me for a loop

[@tsugu9146]

This opening is in a way dedicated to the half point of the journey, the title itself calling back to the very first opening "We Are". And even after the series changes to a new opening some chapters later, this song stays in a way as the "theme" of the series by being what you hear at the next episode preview at the very end of every episode

[@ricecake6316]

This song was dedicated to the show which is kinda crazy considering the quality right. It's a beautiful piece for sure, as far as lyrics go it's just as energetic and names the sun or sun related things like the dawn a bunch, which is a symbolic theme that one piece revolves around

[@jorgeporras9262]

Also of note: "The ichi, ni, sunshine, yon... we go!" Part is a clever way of counting in Japanese using bits of English. Ichi: 1, ni: 2, san: 3 (shine), yon: 4, (we) go: 5.

[@moohooloo]

the reminder of the sun themes from this comment had me seeing the name of the first arc in a different light

[@sapzicrag9573]

Also Hiroshi kitadani did op 1 we are! And recently op 26 for egghead and his sound is uniquely one piece so it’s less that it’s dedicated to one piece even though it is it’s more that kitadani sounds like one piece

[@LironYan]

So fun seeing One Piece here! Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 So many good OSTs and OP/EN, feel free to do more. The first ending is so darn good and emotional, I can cry every time I listen.

[@GhostMan407]

the beginning is the crew when they were inexperienced, the guitar is the timeskip, the clean sound is their triumphant return

[@dmonki6585]

It has more than 1 thousand episodes. And yet, sometimes you wish it has 1 thousand more. Its such an amazing and magical journey. Just glad i was born in this era.

[@darksniper058]

I have never screamed so loud in excitement as when I saw this uploaded!! Please, if you keep doing more anime stuff, by all means, MAKE THEM 35 MINUTES!! lol

[@supersonic4863]

one fun thing to know about this opening, is that it came right after a break in the series' airing, and was made by the same band that did the very first opening. on top of that, the first opening is called "We Are".

[@Luis-te3ov]

If you liked this one PLEASE check out "Over the Top!" by the same artist (One Piece OP22).

[@ocha4443]

I laughed way more than I should have at the 1000 piece lol

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

😆 good. That was the goal haha

[@drumandbassonvinyl]

One of the greatest stories in fiction. It's built such a wide-spread reach in popular culture that any officially associated media is given the blank check to achieve excellence! Thanks for doing the analysis! If you ever find yourself ready to plunge in, be ready to be taken on an emotional and exciting journey with the crew! Then the next time you hear this song, it will hit even harder. Promise.

[@aussieboy4279]

Every opening Hiroshi Kitadani has made for One Piece is an absolute banger and perfectly encapsulates the vibe of One Piece. My favourite piece he has done is called Over The Top which I think is op 22, would highly recommend checking it out as well!

[@SadBirbHours]

Hiroshi Kitadani is the singer and the man is dedicated to the 80s era of hair metal. He even looks the part. The best example of this (And in my honest opinion the absolute best opening he made for One Piece) is Over The Top, which has this big energetic almost ska arrangement and he's going absolutely nuts on the vocals. Absolute banger.

[@Jollyinha]

This is one of my favorite openings in OP, and probably is the one I'm the most emotionally attached to. Criminally underrated!

[@sassybaka3150]

Can you do the “Opening 13 - One Day”. I have a feeling you’ll like this 🥰

[@johnsonj1936]

[@stephencurry4835]

Best OP song

[@booey316]

Another thing that a lot of people don't mention about this song is the incredible wordplay. When it says ichi ni sunshine yon we go, it is a playoff of the fact that counting in Japanese goes ichi ni san yon go.

[@eydie__]

We Go is, putting nostalgia for the first opening aside, musically the best One Piece opening, probably.

[@occultteachings6261]

vouch

[@Keledai_tampan]

Wooooaaaaahh! Can't believe it you found and react to this song. Your analysis always fun to hear, thank you for this video!👍

[@MyLittleMagneton]

I always loved the refrain in this song: "ichi, ni, sunshine, yon, we go". Because in Japanese 1,2,3,4,5 = ichi, ni, san, yon, go.

[@Cornberry]

God I haven’t heard this song in a decade??? Like wow nostalgia rush 😅 I used to wake up early weekend mornings to watch OP before sports or music practice or whatever

[@uricch1025]

You can see the live version of this song, it's amazing

[@jenerix5257]

I love the energy in this song. One thing I want to point out is when they really stretch the "Ze" and "Ji" syllables; Those are serving double duty as the end of the previous line and the start of the next. It plays into the energetic and playful vibe that One Piece is about.

[@PotatoSofi]

Japanese music has SO MUCH that you don't hear anywhere in western music!! It's like a mixed bag of styles that grab your lowest feelings and throw them up high with so much energy that you can't just sing along.

[@PotatoSofi]

Can't just not*

[@Malenia_BladeOfMiquella]

This is my favorite One Piece opening..Ever! Coming out of a sad arc they put this absolute banger out.. It's just pure perfection.

[@shiroko6333]

I had literall chills when this song played in the episode and you could feel that excitement that the journey start again 🎉😊

[@Nastyn1nja808]

Im ready Captain.

[@someoneelse1048]

Easily my top 3 opening of One Piece, the energy this song has is incredible

[@gamerbear84]

Absolutely up there among my favorite opening themes in the series.

[@piskipa]

This opening marks the start of the "second part" of one piece, as such they decided to make an homage to the first opening, the artist here (Hiroshi Kitadani) is the same as the first opening "We are". He's also a member on the popular group "JAM Project" who made the opening to one punch man.

[@aeonise]

The influence of late 70s through early 90s western music on the the Japanese anime music scene is strong, and I love it. Most of my favorite music to come out in the past ten or fifteen years has been from anime OSTs.

[@MorrisWilsonFvcks]

This opening is when the crew reunites after 2 years of separation and it was a big deal because the anime went on a hiatus so fans where going crazy.

[@JackM645]

Hey Tony, there's a live version of this song on youtube and all of the musicians go crazy!

[@questionable_live]

Bruh I never cry but this song actually gets me choked up I actually love listening to it

[@maiz_kolbe5030]

This is one of my fav openings from the show and it's so fun being able to enjoy it even more when you call out stuff that ive yet to notice!

[@NocnaGlizda]

One of the best openings. Love it. New and nostalgic in the same time. We Go!

[@bigfoot4392]

Always nice to see more OP appreciation! Welcome to the Grand Line, my friend!!

[@Nastyn1nja808]

We here for the breakdown! Ive listened to this sing hundreds of times lol

[@omnimon91]

In terms of guitar solo in anime music my favourite one is not in an opening but in an OST from Digimon Adventure, the song is Brave Heart, you should really check it out

[@emmamiller3993]

Crazy timing, I just got to the episodes where this opening is in the show

[@alexiso6215]

you MUST hear the first opening, this opening feels like a big reference to that song

[@joshuana5132]

Since you said you don't know where this is... to put simply: Big tragic event leads captain to decide for the crew, after forcefully been scattered, have them remain temporarily disbanded for two years to train, having learned firsthand just how dangerous the second half of their journey will be compared to the first. And this opening... is upon them reuniting to re-start their journey after re-uniting at the halfway point after those two years, much stronger than they were before.

[@anrijsc1037]

I love the anime reactions content, because a lot of the songs are genuinely insane. They have really good composers.

[@x201xXtreme]

I love this opening a ton, but it would be great to watch a video on my actual favorite One Piece opening which is Over The Top. Same artist and similar style in many aspects, but also the song has a really meaningful context where everybody is on their way to become the very best version of themselves and the lyrics and melody certainly carry that feeling. Great video!

[@rboyzc]

the way u enjoying this song without knowing anything about it, the more i appreciate one piece even more, and i never watch someone doing like this to one piece song i think, so good for u and thank you sir. u should do "react to all one piece opening" and yes i know its alot, maybe u can make it part 2 part 3, thats okay, i still gonna watch it.

[@TheKidneyStoneMarch]

Out of all animes, I'm genuinely suprised he hasn't reacted to Assassination Classroom OP's yet, with the voice actors singing all of the OP's and it's so good.

[@KumoKumiko]

this song is so good, it hits two key vibes: we've come so far, and we're SO FUCKING BACK LETS GOOOOOO

[@falkarios2944]

I've somehow never heard the full version of this song. That guitar solo was awesome!

[@ANunes06]

AND the lyrics slap. You got rhyme. You got meter. You got multilingual puns. It's just ... chefs kiss. Addendum: This, and Bon Voyage are objectively the best songs. But Over The Top will forever be my favorite intro.

[@SquareJ86]

man tony Ill sit here for the 30 minute break down for this amazing piece! that would be awesome but anyways great breakdown and I learned a lot! thanks mate.

[@nanojump338]

Thanks for recomending this sir 👍

[@Farawyn98]

Whats noteworthy about the song: Ichi, ni Sunshine, yo ... we go references to someone counting from 1-5, ichi means 1, ni means 2, and then "San" would be the word for 3, "Shin" can mean 4 and "go" is also the word for 5. Remembered that when you mentioned the stuff happening in the end of the song :)

[@thoughtfulfreespace]

Some fun facts: The manga for One Piece started in 1997, the anime in '99, and yes currently has over 1k episodes (1075). It's the 2nd most sold comic currently (Superman being number 1, Batman #3). Definitely recommend reacting to more One Piece songs. Would be interested on your take of the 1st opening named We Are, and the 10th (which is a remix). Thanks for the video.

[@meraketh]

However the Superman you are talking about started in 1938, just about 70 years earlier and had 15.000 issues. If we are talking about collected comic book format then One Piece is #1 by a large margin.

[@thoughtfulfreespace]

@@meraketh You're correct about how old superman is, but OP is not #1 for total sales. One Piece is at over 500mil atm, Superman is over 600mil. I think One Piece will eventually surpass it, but currently it hasn't done so.

[@kneau]

Perplexing fact: instead of an anime adaptation, the One Piece animated series is one of many supplementary works belonging to the franchise -- with manga being the sole canon.

[@lukaszabojnik778]

i have seen video of this man performing ,,we go" on live stage, he is amazing

I love your detailed dissection of the song! There's a band called SPYAIR that is very popular within the anime openings. They have a song called "Sakura mitsutsuki", which is one of their best songs with a very nice guitar solo. I'd love to see you dissect/react to it

I really love that minute trumpet line at 0:35 that's just three descending notes and then it resolves to a quick little note of that lip technique I don't know the name of but there's an example of what I'm talking about being blasted at 0:32 edit: just noticed it actually goes does and plays two of those lip-trilled(?) notes in line with the synth

[@faithdefool2737]

One piece when you asked how long it's been running. I can say it's more than 20 years. So for anyone born 1999 or after gonna be like one piece grow with you. Something like that. Crazy right?

[@YetiCoolBrother]

This is definitely my favorite One Piece OP, IIRC this is the one you get when the characters first return after the series halfway point. It's also a "sequel" to the original/first One Piece OP "We Are," hence the name.

[@RegalPremium]

There's a bit of a throwing back in the intro to the first opening of one. It's very subtle, but it's a nostalgia boost

[@davidyodo24]

One of my favorite One Piece Opening!!

[@john99bg]

Ayyyy let's gooo! So happy to see a One Piece reaction!

[@HeartlandHunny]

Have you reacted to the original One Piece theme “We Are” before? It’d be cool to see you do a video breaking it down. You could also include a reaction to the live action soundtrack version of the song and compare how they adapted it. There’s even a version of it that’s sung by the voice actors as their characters, which is so charming.

[@SMOKY10_]

This song gives you I'M BACK energy

[@ReindeerDan]

These anime openings are made usually to be music first but be themed for a show. The music can usually be swapped to a different show if a deal falls through. For instances, the song “Fighting Dreamers”used for the show Naruto was originally meant for the show One Piece where fighting was originally meant to be Pirate.

[@taigathesilly]

i'd love to see you listen to the other one piece openings by hiroshi kitadani, those being 1 (we are), 19 (we can), and 22 (over the top). they bring me nothing but pure joy

[@UncensoredScion]

It's VERY difficult to explain without spoiling things for any who are getting into OP, but...the moment you hear Hiroshi Kitadani's voice belting out "jitto dekinai tomarenai" every One Piece fan lost their minds the first time hearing this. Kitadani's the guy who did the very first Opening (We Are) that defined OP as the high action fun bright and colourful world of Oda perfectly and before this Opening was heard we'd seen one of the darkest moments of the series, death violence, loss and a worsening of the world in all aspects. So Kitadani's opening here is to show that yes things have changed but it's still One Piece, it's still going to be fun and adventure and action with Oda's colourful world and it was sort of the perfect breath of fresh air that the fans needed.

[@BboyKeny]

Something I like about a lot of "modern" Japanese music is that they really know the music ideas that the west has developed and they sprinkle in ideas without going overboard. Very detail oriented and clean while keeping the spirit of raw rock.
