Aqua Star - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards [Cover Arrange]

[@Slipdash]

0:23 the violin here shreds

[@pfeffer6675]

Man, I'm so glad I have ears

[@hungry_menace8357]

Danny S atleast you’re not deaf.

[@yonathwin]

you deserves a million moooooore subscribers than now.... because your musical skill is very cool!

[@PALogy]

No but seriously, how have you not surpassed or equal Insaneintherain, You're just as talented and this is so well made! Props dude!

[@jdaster64piano]

All your stuff is _too_ good (I'm a sucker for big-band-jazz), but I'm a diehard Kirby music fan over all, and this cover really brings out those beautiful Ishikawa melodies and chord changes. I think this has to be my favorite fan arrangement I've ever heard from the series, or at least pretty dang close! Would love to hear your take on something like Sand Canyon 3 or Grass Land 4 from Dream Land 3, but I look forward to whatever else you have in store.

[@PortmanTone]

Added both to my little notepad with tracks to consider

[@beebo_omgwow]

Woah, I really dig the big band feel of this cover. wasn't expecting that. Excellent job.

[@its_kumar_babyyy]

What the fuck. This is UNDERAPPRECIATED. You're amazing, man.

[@doritodews5637]

Found this in a Kirby jazz compilation, this remix is amazing!

[@nat298]

It’s so sad that I’m just now discovering this channel after its end. This is one of my favorite covers by a wide margin!!

[@PortmanTone]

I’ll be back

[@nat298]

PortmanTone that’s what I wanted to hear!

[@Bardometer]

This video is 7 years old and I've only found out about it now...? Amazing work on every instrument dude, really inspiring!

[@quetzalrcoatl]

Aqua Star - Gravity Rush version

[@frankpadilla8074]

This is nearly brought me to tears ❤ I hope you make more Kirby 64 renditions this was so beautiful

[@lookfordog]

Next gen elevator music right here. Amazing!

[@PitTan]

*dances* :DDDD errrmegwerd much goosebumps. Sounds so freaking good

[@PortmanTone]

:P

[@Shablagoo69]

This gives me a feeling I didn’t know it exist, I love it (You’re so underrated wh)

[@rayres1074]

That's probably the best cover I've seen of any song in KZbin. Not only is the production insane (in the level of professional youtubers), but so is the musicianship (in the level of professional musicians), and given the impossibility to stick to the original sonority (a tropicalesque vibe due to the keyboards and bongo) you decided to port it to a more jazzier interpretation and you do so masterfully by adding your own touches to it. It's a cover that doesn't inspire to sound as close to the original as possible, but one where the artist adds their own twist to it. Simply put, brilliant. I'm feeling a strong 9 to soft 10 here.

[@enemyghost2170]

I am currently crying over both how ethereal this is, and how long it took me to come across such a gorgeous cover. This is the most beautiful display of talent I've ever seen, thank you for making this, I apologize for being so late.

[@matthewmorrison3745]

Sounds like something they would play specifically for their options menu.

[@p.rofessionalidiot]

This is... amazing. Honestly, this is my favorite fan cover of a video game song.

[@novAbsolute]

I wonder how long it took to learn all those instruments and be able to play a song like that.

[@BrutalHips]

first vid of yours I've seen, completely mind blown by this cover. Keep up the great work!

[@joepower777]

This was amazing! The quality of your work is so professional! I wish could do all this! Anyway, I really enjoyed this!

[@loafiesloft]

This is my favorite arrangement of my fav Kirby song. I can’t with all these instruments ♡ too good. When 0:24 hits I feel invigorated, man

[@pen1102]

This guy is clever Also the word spin-off of portmanteau

[@fuzzydreem]

Beautiful.

[@AphidKirby]

AAAAAAAAAA THIS IS BLOWING ME AWAY!!! Big Band works SOO well for this song and this was executed beautifully!!! Really fantastic work!

[@soft.sage.x]

[@inafridge8573]

[@TriStain]

This sounds like it would play in a modern kirby game fr

[@Staggger]

I love to listen to this song on 0.75 speed, and doing so in this arrangement doesn't disappoint.

[@missingjerry6720]

Holding out for another Kirby tune

I'm surprised that you don't have a lot of subscribers :0. I just subscribed to you!! :D keep up the good work!! very talented!! also if you know steven universe, they have pretty good music lol :)

[@PortmanTone]

Aw, thanks Jeffrey. I would have never imagined I'd get this many subs in the first place, so I'm not one to worry so much about it. I never watched Steven Universe, but I'll have a listen to the OST and add any tracks I like to my big list of covers.

[@joonichi1911]

PortmanTone looking forward to that!! :) I know you'll be big!!

[@kirbyofthestarsfan]

Man, you are so talented honestly I love jazz completely and I'm glad to have found your channel cause your compositions are amazing! I'm kinda working on a kirby fangame, and I'd love to use this song in it. I can't pay you given i have no money, but I'd feature your channel in the music credits cause the world deserves to know your channel more. I'd love it if i had permission from you to use it, cause i really really like your music a ton!

[@PortmanTone]

Go for it-- and I appreciate it

[@kirbyofthestarsfan]

PortmanTone Thanks! I really enjoy your music so it's a pleasure to be able to include it Thank you so much!

[@Blackmangaman17]

Unreal

[@boxecomp1374]

I would love to use this in a game. A Kirby fan game of course.

[@unquestionableexistance8704]

Very cool it sorts of sound like if it was an old classic jazzy music😃

[@DeltaEXEv2]

Ooooooh. This is spicy.

[@nat7639]

I would imagine this as elevator music

[@peacexd3475]

It's very nice but somehow I got a Mario Vibe from it.

[@pen1102]

Seth Patton it's nintendo

[@BlackLotusZX]

wooooooow!!!!!!

[@magic4266]

Everyone’s posting memes and your here with 10k views and a lot of skill.

[@novAbsolute]

How do you have only 720 subs? There should be a lot more.

[@PortmanTone]

Hi, how are ya? 720 is plenty for me!

[@novAbsolute]

Your music is fantastic! It should be noticed more.

[@benitogm00]

Nice!!!

[@ElitesJ5]

This belongs on a remake of Kirby 64 HD remastered on the switch

[@JT_5544]

This sounds like Super Mario 3D world music.

[@ZesTofthelemon]

ya like jazz

[@kuya_joshjosh]

This makes me think it's a Mario Kart 8 stage haha I love it

[@Trashingcanine]

I might mod kirby 64 with a lower quality version of this, of course credits given if i ever do it :P
