Nana - New Bass Guitarist

[@shraviator]

proof that bass makes everything better

[@DADA-mr3wn]

When I see that this video is from 13 years ago...... I start crying

[@naufal6163]

What is this anime?

[@shadowface9059]

@@naufal6163 nana

[@Departures-ib7ry]

Cry and light a cigarette

[@anciu2001]

I know what you mean. I'm 32 and still cry when I hear this.most underrated anime ever...

[@Duvelle_]

16 now. You still crying?

[@konsenlin7382]

Many of you may not understand why Nana looks so "unrealistically" surprised (even stunned) when she hears Shin's bass. Some may think "oh gosh, whoever has the fundamental skills of a bassist can just play the song according to the music score", but the truth is that, the music score Shin is looking at 0:13 is, in fact, only the guitar part -- he is not given the bass part. He is supposed to improvise based on the guitar part, as you may have seen in 0:13 when he is fiddling around on his bass. He is not playing according to the music score; he is improvising according to the guitar part. And when he finishes improvising (and Nana is surprised how fast Shin is), he stuns the other two members with [almost] exactly the same bass as Ren has produced.

[@rovidelarosa]

yeah? you only need to know in what key the guitar is. you don't even need a score to improvise...

[@konsenlin7382]

Lol! Still got people responded to this comment. Glad this good anime gets the attention it deserves. In fact, I can barely disagree with you on that part, as Punk is sometimes considered by a few people "brutally straightforward" (not going to comment on this part though) . So yup, it SEEMS that "you don't even need a score to improvise". It SEEMS. For me personally, I still believe that the bass part of "Rose" is -- using the simplest vocabulary -- cool, powerful, stylish, and memorable. The thing is, when you mentioned "... you only need to know in what key the guitar is...", I assume that you meant the typical repetitive bass notes that aligns with the power chords, which does appear in Shin's improvisation. However, Shin's bass cover also contains many subtle yet interesting nuances, like the choice of jumping an octave or the insertion of a brief solo. This is what makes this bass cover so good, because it preserves the power and spirit within Punk music, while sometimes surprising the audience with interesting bass melody. And this is typical bass. People with superficial understanding of music always sarcastically dismisses its importance and downplays its function as well as potential musical complexity by saying "yeah? you only need to know in what key the guitar is...". Cheers to all bass players. Thank you all for making great songs.

[@daniebelle23]

Yeah, maybe someone has already mentioned it but they were surprised because his "sound" was like Ren's. Right after this, Shin even said that he was his favorite bassist and Nana told him to play better than Ren.

[@ssyuske]

I've just finished nana and this scene was the most impressive one

[@noobsaibot4466]

Actually, in the manga they are covering 'Seventeen' by the Sex Pistols, which Ren has covered in their official remaster of the album with the band itself, and Shin is playing the bass part exactly like Ren does, and that's why they are so surprised. But sadly, in the anime, to avoid copyright problems they went with 'rose' as the audition for Shin

[@WhirlingAna]

Shin made me love bass.

[@daniebelle23]

Ana Filipe You mean Ren? 😁

[@GG-zv5ci]

SAME

[@zi9780]

same

[@kaykay197]

Why is everybody bashing? They aren't surprised because he can play well, they are surprised because he plays just like Ren, the old bassist in the band....

[@sjmimi7765]

I love it when you can hear just the base and then it transitions to a shot of Ren, like you can see and hear exactly what nana is thinking in that moment

[@concernedpersun5740]

i still get a thrill shiver when hearing this part

[@shaleenacampbell931]

I wish we could hear it in the full song

[@AndrewGFRamsey]

While Nobu's playing he's got a Gibson Les Paul, but then after Shin's playing wows them into silence and Nana's cigarette burns her you can see Nobu's guitar is now magically a Fender Stratocaster.

[@AlbornozVEVO]

que bolas

[@veisnthere9]

Haha

[@mirahsan2]

Man, the memories. I loved discovering Nana the first time 😊

[@reeses_unicorn]

I've just discovered Nana and I really love it! 😊 I'm on episode 16.

[@KirillBerezin]

I bought my first guitar after that moment.

[@ganadaris]

[@babytee_thh]

[@kittynya3752]

[@Neeko90]

I was 16 years when I watched this anime and saw it through a teenagers eyes. Now youtube randomly recommends me this video after 17 years. Im 33 years old now and remembering it but through the eyes of an adult..

[@lunallenalunallena]

We’re the same age , I also saw this back then and watching this clip made me feel all my teenage emotions again.

[@INeverWanted2010]

I wish the rest of the anime was like this and followed the journey of the band becoming whole.

[@rorybranos]

Minus all the drama, it was what you described

[@Jessx]

this scene gives me goosebumps

[@shreyaray3954]

I repeatedly watch this scene . that bass is just sick! who plays it really?

[@djaz1453]

Oh man me too! Im still searching notes of it So that one day i can play it myself.

[@michaelndong4531]

[@atwodollarnote]

[@daniebelle23]

This whole scene is about Ren.

[@tiearayoung896]

As a bass player that stop playing way to early this makes me fall back in love with the bass

[@Sharkgirl94]

this wants me to have a bass only instrumental of rose

[@GrayXIII]

[@PoisonPuFFiPie]

best part of the episode ever. I love when they all stop playing and gape at shin, it's so awesome :D

[@AnnaTsuchiyaFansClub]

Her beautiful raspy voice gives me goosebumps all over my body 😍😭 that’s why after watching Nana anime I’ve become very much of her fan. She’s the best Nana! 🤘🏻❤️‍🔥🎶

[@ivanleon3434]

This way is better than the normal way they play it

People asking about this famous anime😿NANA

[@r.deleon1086]

[@djaz1453]

I want that too! Did u find it yet? If yes pls tell me.

[@vanillabean2584]

It’s not hard I literally just figured it out and you can also look up bass tabs for it on google

seriously would love to see these bass guitarists behind both shin (nana) and taira (beck) do a face off 💯

How did his les Paul turn into a stratocaster?

[@AndrewGFRamsey]

@xxtsubasa Shin is using a black Fender Precision Bass. What I'm talking about Nobu's guitar. At twenty-five seconds he clearly has a Gibson Les Paul, but at one-minute and forty-one seconds he has a Fender Stratocaster. Just a small animation model mistake.

[@hoodie4744]

Bought a 150$ bass yesterday because of this clip. It comes in Friday, hopefully I'm good.

[@xxtsubasa]

@JebusGrist What do you mean? His guitar was always a Black/White Strat... The Les Paul shown here was Nobu's...

[@ioanabuzz]

Just to goood for this century...I can't waith for the second seria... Ganbatte lucia :D

[@AKF44]

I really don't think Nana's thinking about "DGCF"," EADG", and whatever the hell else when there's a shot of REN on the screen. Guys, this is ANIME, not MUSIC CLASS. And a SHOUJO one at that.

[@errormaster12]

it's amazing! if you love music as much as i do, this is so great. i wanna buy a new guitar and bass asap and start playing!!

[@juicebox-]

I have been so emotional around midnight -__- because everything that makes me feel anything. I cry. like right now

If that guy can magically turn his Gibson into a Fender, then maybe I can magically turn my Ibanez into a Rickenbacker. :)

[@tatenda__]

The bass is so sexy wtf

[@essbi]

bass adds so much

[@rdvgrd6]

@animeandvgmusicgeek Or DADG for my case and lots of other bassists. kind of weird at first we we get used to it quickly! and its easier when in your set you need both standard E and drop D, you can drop the 1st string in 1sec between two songs. let ring the 3rd D string then then let ring the E and drop it until both sounds the same, then you got your D ;)

[@samuraiXlegend]

Seriously? How many times did I watch this? xP As a bassist I respect Shin ;]

[@djaz1453]

So you're a bassist? Can u tell me where to find the notes of shins bass pls?

[@oOPPHOo]

@Ra1zeRazZ it's the opening song for the anime. "Rose" by Anna Tsuchiya though for this song she is often credited as Anna "inspi'NANA" (BLAST) or something like that. anyway, the song should be easy to find. Also, give Kuroi Namida a listen too. It's another great song by the same artist for the same anime

[@PlasticFood02]

The part wich it make me loving bass ♥♥♥

[@myrandomgems8463]

Is this anime worth watching? If so I’ll look for it.

[@mirahsan2]

I loved watching it back in high school 2006-2009. Anime didn’t cover well all of the manga like most anime doesn’t but I think the manga has been on hiatus for a long time. But yes it’s an awesome anime :)
