Opera Singer Reacts: Morning Light Hymnus (Granblue Fantasy Versus OST)

[@ortrus5911]

Was honestly surprised to see this one pop out. There is a quite big gap between what is considered tradition and modern as you have pointed out several times before, which is a shame because there is no real reason to keep both of them separated as if they were entirely different entities. It's songs like this or more notably God Shattering Star that prove great quality opera songs can be made to this day without just copying the past, but not ignoring it either. It does take talented composers and the will to explore beyond the limits of tradition while respecting it's legacy.

[@lyfiatea]

opera metal is not new. electronic sounds blur the boundaries a bit more but anime/game music has also been doing it since a long time ago

[@nostrobothnia]

This track has been living in my head rent-free since the day it got released. Personally I'm a big fan of well-written lyrics, and this song just ties so well into the lore and the relationship between the characters (those being Belial, whose point of view the lyrics are written in, and Lucilius). It's practically a declaration of undying love and loyalty from the embodiment of debauchery to his creator, who seeks to bring about the destruction of the skies to defy very creation itself. Naturally a part of the meaning is lost unless you already know the storyline involving the characters, but I can really speak with the bias of a person who is obsessed with the game... And this song is EVERYTHING. I can't describe how strong of a mental chokehold it has on me. I love the direction the world of game music is heading with the ever increasing amount of symphonic orchestra. My friend actually mentioned once that the trend could've partly been kickstarted by bands like Nightwish. I don't know how well that theory holds water, but still warms my little Finnish heart just a bit, lol.

Always neat to see people react to granblue tracks. It has a ton of great music that typically flies under the radar due to the original game being Japan only

[@VampiricVik]

2 months later but if anyone is interested you can play it globally through chrome both on phone and on PC

[@kamil118]

The game has been fully available in English for like 7 years

[@cinakontol_1965]

8 yrs now

[@TwilightSaber]

confused as to why this is getting replies so many months later but what i meant was that there's no official release on english appstores and such. the eng translation in the game is primarily for the SEA region. guess i coulda worded it better

[@Weltte]

OMG YES Morning Light Hymnus!! This is probably one of my favourite tracks from GBF I think GBF's OST are not really that talked about so I'm so happy to see you reacting to it and giving your thoughts :3

[@TheY0shi08]

You have to do Zero from Granblue Fantasy. It's incredible.

[@ED-cc2mq]

and the ultimate, litereal buffet of GBF soundtrack

[@SyRon01]

Agree with the ultimate

[@wih2409]

he just did it

[@KenBladehart]

Narita (the composer): Aight, time to slap some cheeks. Watch me, Nobuo Uematsu

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

I did NOT expect the tenor and baritone to go as hard as they did. I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about this song, glad to have finally discovered it!

[@CronoEpsilon]

Granblue Fantasy has a slew of amazing tracks. Honestly, my favorite to this day is still Existence.

[@pandooju]

I love your daily uploads and listening to music for the first time with you, this was great! I also love your reactions when you pause and then feel the music right afterwards lol.

[@MarcoMeatball]

🥰

[@SyRon01]

Thanks for the reaction! Granblue Fantasy have tons of great tracks to look at. This song is coming out of nowhere because the franchise have never taken opera vocalist before, but turns out loved by the community. While you at it, please react to Wing of Terror, which considered as an iconic Granblue Fantasy music. Cheers!

[@jesusescobedo4825]

Woah! Granblue Fantasy music! There's many good tracks you can listen to, my personal favorites are Higher Yet Do The Astrals Dwell and Armageddon :)

[@crafteariee]

Awesome seeing that you checked out Morning Light Hymnus! Granblue Fantasy's music is wonderful, I'm sure people have recommended Zero and I'd recommend it as well! It was a treat to hear for the first time in the game. Tsutomu Narita has been a sort of protégé to Nobuo Uematsu and I like that he keeps that tradition of rocking out like Soken does for FFXIV! In a similar vein, I'd suggest Serpent Eating the Ground from Bravely Default! It's a blast finding symphonic metal pieces in gaming, your thoughts on the natural progression of music is great! Music keeps evolving and finding new avenues to surprise us :>

[@jpegwarrior5431]

Granblue's OST is actually incredible. Would hard recommend listening to Zero, it's such an insane piece.

[@colonelquesadilla5080]

Fighting games are on the table now?? Oh man am I excited to see what else you’ll look at! Hoping to see some Melty Blood at some point. Great review as always!

[@christopherborne4496]

That was a really great song I always enjoy choir and band playing together

[@Scrap_and_build_ourselves]

This song, is part of the reason why I wanna learn how to sing in opera style

[@riki7947]

Listening to this I think you might like Serpent Eating the Horizon! It’s amazing, it’ll catch you by surprise.

[@jellemondeel2548]

If you are ever looking for more granblue songs there are ton and the music is insanely good for a mobile game. Zero is my personal favorite

[@andreatondi4574]

And so Belial got here too. Knew it was only a matter of time.

[@MaKiiOlvEra]

You should react to Lullabye from Arknights, or amiyaevolution. Two incredible pieces along with doubledragons. It really has a very beautiful OST and one of the best i've heard in video games of its type. PS: I love your videos and analysis, i have discovered many beautiful music thanks to you!!

[@ravengenesis8510]

Always nice to see someone getting known about Granblue Fantasy musical.

[@013g0cefal]

Would also recommend giving a try to another track from Granblue Fantasy - Tiamat Magna (Omega), it has a 7 minute version on KZbin and by far it's my favorite after Morning Light Hymnus Also, really like your videos, I'm so glad that I discovered your channel

[@moramorae]

Never expected I will watch a reaction video for GBF ost! Thank you.

[@LightningCayo]

This song was always a stand out to me when I play GBVS, Avatar Belial (the character who has this theme) is an eight winged fallen angel deity who wants to revive Lucilius, and he’s so much fun to play. The song fits perfectly with how dangerous Avatar Belial has become. Kudos to the reaction, Granblue in general has great music. Also I agree that oprea singers can sing things that aren’t in the canon.

[@adamrobertson1061]

Hell yeah. Granblue music rules. One of the reasons I still play it. Wish me luck at Evo.

[@ezraanimusphere7673]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. My personal suggestion would be Lord of a Dead Empire. Since you did God Shattering Star, this is the spiritual ancestor of that theme, since it came from a prior Fire Emblem game. Love the content, keep up the great work.

[@serenity3157]

Granblue Fantasy musics are GOATED. They have lots of genres, from rock, opera, pop, metal, even a damn bollywood song. Even some of their character has skills set that comes from name of rock & metal songs. Example Yukata Ilsa has skills name come from Archenemy's songs.

[@TheTolnoc]

The fact that you called it an 'Evolution' is unintentionally very on point, as 'Evolution' is a huge plot point of the story beats this track covers, humanity's evolution.

[@belial1821]

All hail Avatar Belial

[@EyeOfKings]

This just reminded me that Keiichi Okabe (nier composer) made music for a mobile game called SINoALICE and compared to the graphics they go so hard for no reason lol. It's like listening to lost nier tracks.

[@VeitaShioyamaCh]

Zero from Granblue Fantasy also :ChefKiss:

[@MarcozAkuma]

You shoud react to Paradise Lost too Since the motif of that song is used in some others Like this one Keep your love from music man

[@脇坂まこと]

This is the best love song from Belial to Lucifer.

[@M0narch1024]

Oh no the floodgates have been opened, fighting games have the greatest music. Also, Day eighteen of recommending Stay Gold from the Arknights OST

[@shadowbreaker7821]

If you're doing Granblue now I recommend Zero (not from Ace Combat), New World Order and Higher yet do the Astral Dwell aka Armageddon

[@MarcoMeatball]

Armageddon is coming

[@shadowbreaker7821]

@@MarcoMeatball Can't wait to see the reaction since it's very Nier inspired

[@MrPeanut624]

No idea if this will get seen, but you should take a listen to Godsibb from Xenosaga Episode III, or the Image Theme of Xenosaga II. The the xenoblade series that followed it, Xenosaga has some amazing pieces.

[@MeruKami]

React to Rose Queen from Grandblue Fantasy🙏

[@dumbsterdives]

ah yes, the apocalyptic love song. my favorite!

[@raiden5176]

Granblue's music is godsend

[@belial1821]

Best song in granblue fantasy franchise

[@Chris3s]

waiting for some Yuki Kajiura tracks, now that you have some Keiichi Okave tracks from Nier

[@saturnus253]

might i recommend the fatalis theme from Monster hunter: iceborne.

[@marja9521]

belial is an evil, terrible awful parasite in my brain, so getting this in my notifs felt like a death sentence

[@marja9521]

if you read the lyrics to this song, it's basically a love song from belial to his creator who is hellbent on destroying the world as a huge fuck you to god.

[@belial1821]

React to granblue fantasy’s song paradise lost the first Belial theme song

[@doommetalvibes741]

FF7 and FF13 has some good ones too

[@nicog4g944]

React please to "Libera me from Hell" it's an OST from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ;)

[@cinakontol_1965]

Randomly recomended to me but very welcoming one. Love that my mobile mobage gacha hell game get some recognition outside of JP
