ONE HOUR + of Xenogears Music on Piano (Yasunori Mitsuda) [Relaxing Piano Cover]

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Like, comment, and share! Let's show the Algorithm Xenogears deserves attention. If I get enough support on this project, I may just finish the entire soundtrack! Listen on streaming platforms: songwhip.com/animalisakeys/annalisa-plays-xenogears

I want in on the choir if you do Awakening.

[@Chris_Fields]

I was listening to the AI dj thing that spotify has, and it brought up one of your tracks this morning. It said your name and everything, I thought it was awesome! It was one of your chrono trigger songs, I guess I'll need to keep listening to the Xenogears music to show that robot, lol

[@AnimalisaKeys]

@@Chris_Fields oh heck yeah!! Spotify and YT algorithms are treating me ok! Thanks for listening :D

This quote made me smile. Well done. Citan was my favorite character.

Well said citan 👏 👏

most under rated game ever.. and also the best.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

❤

[@seankw5827]

I agree! If you think like me but haven't played smt4 and apocalypse then I highly recommend it as I consider it the second best game and possibly the best maybe the second best ost ever. Even when put up against ost of non video games.

[@Pyrrhonian]

​@@seankw5827 xenogears is my favorite RPG and love smt3 but found smt4 infuriating to play, one of the worst maps I've ever navigated... Didn't like the characters or story much either

[@shorgoth]

I disagree, it had great elements and had potential but the fact that they turned what could have been tens of hours of gameplay into endless text narrating cut it to the bone. This is a perfect exemple of "show don't tell" not being respected to the extreme.

[@WastedTalent83]

@@shorgoth man, what are you even talking about? do you even think before writing? O_o I could i understand what you say with games of today, they have much more space to play with. But games in the 97.. didn't , they were on CD you can't just add "10s of hours of game play" without adding another 3 cd -.- They would have to make a game coming out on 6 or 7 CD to make PLAYABLE everything that's written in Xenogears. What you said , its exactly what i say about Genshin impact, 20000 hours of wasted gameplay and lore written in books that nobody read. But games in the 97 had HUGE limits. So Xenogears made an exellent job considering that.

[@elusivellama]

The Gentle Breeze Sings is one of my favorite Xenogears soundtracks! This is an amazing rendition of it and your piano playing skills are out of this world! May the Zohar Modifier continue to influence the KZbin algo lol

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Haha thank you :D

[@practicalweeb]

thanks for showing Xenogears some love. Mitsuda-san is my GOAT 😂

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@stranoj]

I listen to your Chrono Trigger performances regularly, and it's time I tipped you. Thank you for your huge efforts, in arranging and performing Yasunori Mitsuda's work, among others!

Beautiful arrangements ... Mitsuda would be proud

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you so much, John!!

[@paulcantshutup]

This reminds me of "Xenogears Light", which was a wonderful fan remix of some songs that came out way back in 2005. At the time, I had one of those little iPod Shuffles that looked like a stick of gum. Only so much space for music, and that album was always on it. It was quiet, gentle, something soothing when so much else was havoc all around me. This is as good as that, and I'm grateful for it. Thank you.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

I had one of those, too!! ah, the memories!

[@ii1129]

まるで目の前で弾いている様な演奏。 KZbinだった事を忘れてしまった💧 ゼノギアスをここまで心を込めて弾いてくれた事に、感謝を。 本当にありがとう😭 貴女が目の前で弾いてくれたら驚きで気絶するよ。

[@AnimalisaKeys]

どうもありがとう!!!

[@afurosuto]

Played this on the background while working. Hell, I suddenly reminiscing the times when I play the game back when I was just an elementary student when hearing most of the tracks.. Great work!!

[@NightFlyStudio]

Absolutely amazing. I think this is MItsuda's most sentimental and moody soundtrack he's ever made and you did it justice. Very good covers.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you so much!!! Can't get enough Mitsuda ❤

[@DX-sl8kb]

このゲームはCDを買うほど好きで、あなたの演奏は原曲とは違う良さがあり、とても気持ちよく聞くことができました。応援しています

[@AnimalisaKeys]

どうもありがとう

[@人生壁頭突き]

ゲームを始めてすぐの「遠い約束」が本当に印象的でした。 あと、フェイとシタン先生の会話の意味と伏線が・・・わかったとき、泣きそうになった思い出。 フェイ 「ねえ、先生・・・ 　この曲を聞いてると、ふしぎな感じがしてくるよ。 　なんだか、胸の奥の方が 　ほっとあったかくなってくるような・・・」 シタン 「それはきっとあなたのなかで、 　この曲が好きだった、遠い昔のだれかが生きているからですよ・・・」

[@purpleschala]

been loving all your love and dedication to this amazing game and OST sob ❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭a joy to listen to this while making dinner, absolutely tremendous job once again!!

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you so much 💜💜💜

[@MonkellD]

I really love the arrangement. I've listened to this many times and the quality of your playing matched with the arrangement is worthy of being reminded of the way Kousei and the other musicians play in Your Lie in April. Its yours now. I wish that I didnt see a thumbnail of you before i heard your playing, I would not have been surprised by your beauty but would be expecting you to be just as beautiful, as you are. Thank you so much.

[@indignationm]

You absolutely nailed it. I know all xenogears songs by heart to the details, i can see you're a perfectionist. So clean, well done and thanks for sharing!!!

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thanks for the kind words :)

[@XuanbinLor]

Words cannot describe the appreciation I have for this video, its comforting to know there are xenogear fans out there with such talent!

[@もっちゃ-l9v]

It looks like Ellie from the story is playing the piano exactly as she is.☺ P.S. I'm Japanese and can't speak English, so I'm sorry if you feel uncomfortable and don't reply. 私は日本人で、英語を話せないので不快に思われてお返事がないのであればごめんなさい I also love Xenogears, so the performance was really good. ゼノギアスも大好きなゲームなので、演奏がとても良かったです

💜💜💜 thank you so much!!

[@シャン-y4x]

you gave me wonderful time. I'm grateful to you! ありがとう!

[@SyncopaticSimon]

Yours are easily the best Xenogears piano covers. I've been looking very hard for some time and nothing was really conveying the emotions until I came about your work. You did this OST great justice.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you! That means a lot :)

[@linnaealyn]

The One Who Is Torn Apart was perfect!! I don't know how you did it, but you worked some piano magic with that one. The attention to detail in the repeating keys fading out and starting again was wonderfully executed. I'm in love with this entire video, its immediately going on the rotation of music I listen to while I work on Xenogears stuff. 💕

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you so much for noticing the detail I put into that particular piece, it means a lot

[@whatever1512]

Noticed the black and white outfit choice for that one too.

[@HighZ]

The title doesn't lie. This is very relaxing. I had this on in the background while working and squashed several bugs I've been struggling with for a week. Your signature style is so dynamic and precise it really makes me feel I can trust this cover will be perfect. Great playing!

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you :) Xenogears has so many beautiful, chill tunes

[@MoisesNieto]

Such beautiful piano performances!! 💙

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you so much 💜

[@bryanhenry87]

Watched the entire playthrough. Loved it! Xenogears has been a favorite of mine since it's release. Thank you for using your talent to keep it alive! Cheers.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you!! Mitsuda forever!!

[@Mustin]

Just wonderful. I can already tell I'll be listening to this collection for a long time. Excellent recordings, beautiful performances and arrangements - the whole package. I like how you keep the piano simple and clean - it feels like I'm in the room. Keep doing what you're doing! I hope that luck finds you - like a proud wolf alone in the dark. 💜

Thank you so much!!

[@stevenvegh7964]

One of my favorite soundtracks ever and you are executing the music flawlessly. Thanks!

This music is so strange and beautiful at the same time. Nice interpretation, very well done.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Thank you! I love how mystical and ethereal this soundtrack is

[@1kirin1]

yeah I think the vibe is due to liberal use of the other modes while the West only allowed Ionian and Aelion for centuries. This is why I gave up classical and just play JRPG music like this now. I like these modes better :)

[@LloydTheHammer]

Already said congrats during the premiere but leaving a comment for that algorithm haha. Congrats again and you should be proud!!

Just one person but, appreciate you. I take time to go back and listen to Xenogears OST's a lot, because it was during a very formative part of my life that I experienced it. It helps me kinda re-capture a bit of the curiousity and whimsy that younger had. Keep things in perspective. Do I still value the same things? Did my values change for good reason? Hope you and yours are well. Thanks.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

I appreciate your kind words :)

I imported the Xenogears OST and Creid from Japan in 1998, I've never stopped loving these two records. Your performance blew my mind. It takes a lot of talent to play these songs because they can be both playful and melancholic at the same time. There's something religious in this OST and you've nailed it better than anybody else.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

Wow, thank you so much, that means a lot!!
