Opera Singer Reacts to Enkanomiya Battle Music || Genshin Impact

[@MarcoMeatball]

I am delaying listening to and watching the 2nd anniversary concert due to the major plot spoilers in it. So, just fyi.

[@Ikcatcher]

It’s fine, those tracks are way more impactful experiencing it in the game anyway

[@kisuisje5631]

No problem, maybe if you want you can check the fan made concert i dont remember spoils in it (to check) it's on the HoYoLab channel the concert was really a good surprise for me. Anyway wish you the best and bisou de la 🇨🇵!!

[@violetystruok]

Maybe you can just listen to the audio?

[@violetystruok]

And if possible, record it, because I feel like some people in chat will maybe spoil what the ost is about or what happens during the ost

[@violetystruok]

But inthe end, it's all up to you! We will wait even if it takes months to get there ^^

[@Ikcatcher]

Enkanomiya is so different from the rest of Genshin’s OST because it’s not even in Teyvat. Notice how it doesn’t even use the Photon of Fluctuation leitmotif that is present in every main battle theme. Should really give the other Enkanomiya tracks a listen, it really evokes a different feeling.

[@PrograError]

I bet we gonna get it back when we get to that place... it's technically in the same "realm"

[@t.k.5088]

Hoyomix is really good at hiding leitmotifs in songs... I'm pretty sure it's hinted in it 🤔

[@harosee]

And what's really cool is that the vishap boss theme uses the Beats of Water Drops leitmotif instead - well it's more like a remix. That's a friggin early floor abyss/ the Cecilia Garden's domain theme! Really emphasizes that Enkanomiya isn't in Teyvat but somewhere else otherworldly (though might still be somewhere in the "planet", idk), and I absolutely loved it as I lost my mind then.

[@equilibrium138]

These breathy sounds are connected to other vocal parts of Enka's tracks. And in general they give a feeling of the funeral. Like, all the dead cities - Old Mond, Enka, Chasm - they all have these funeral vocals. So in battle theme, i think, these breath sounds represent dust that was laying there for thousands of years and now rises during the battle.

Enkanomiya is the place where you go once and never again but the lore community dredge it up from the bottom of the ocean every tuesday

And for good reason. Enka layed the ground work for the theories of today and gave major insights into the history and origins of Teyvat.

I may be a rare case but I do come back a lot there to hang out or wish at my favorite spot which is the small cave with the floating Jellyfish and the water puddle like around the first island at the end of the secret room.

[@TheSilverHermitMage]

@@cloudy978 I haven't explored it properly just so I can have an excuse to go there 😂

[@josefpaolo]

My interpretation with the "breath" in the theme is that it denotes the experience of the Enkanomiya people living 'beneath the waves' and how they are trying to survive in that dangerous environment. Something like how a person desperately tries to breath air when they drown.

[@sicebae4988]

Another interesting thing is that it is really hard for people to get to the breath part, Since combat rarely take that long So it is a surprise gift for music lover. It also give chills to people who is actually taking such a tough battle.

[@3044Smike]

Enkanomiya is essentially haunted Ancient Greece (and probably my second favorite OST in game) It is a foggy floating city in the clouds, underground and filled with ghosts, man eating lizards, and flying mantarays

[@cannedcoal3500]

The breaths and the humming feels like a siren singing while you are fighting in the sea, its amazing.

[@tessiya6199]

For me, the voice part in this song gives the impression of ghostly sounds - like the ghosts forever bound to Enkanomiya's darkness in-game trying to communicate with you.

[@kiloklavdi1185]

It's supposed to be a suffocating mermaid

[@skrubdixie]

This was the first Battle Theme OST where I had to stop and just listen to it when I first encountered it. It doesn't sound like a strictly battle theme to me and has sections that sound very warm and comfortable like a love song almost, especially with the vocals :D

[@samuisamu5626]

Mine as well followed by Fischl's domain battle music. First time I stopped to listen to the music without it being a battle theme was exploring Stormterror's Lair and then when climbing the peaks in Liyue during a sunrise.

[@legacymse7095]

That was the moment I decided to unequip all artifacts and weapons when I explore new areas, so that combat doesn't last 30 sec.

[@Michylawhty]

Every time I hear a new OST track from Genshin, I legitimately shout out: "YU-PENG CHEN YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!!" This man's talent and dedication for music that fits the game's areas and characters so well is beyond measurable.

[@eliavendetur]

the thing about the singing, it sounds a lot like Venti's CN VA. so the singing being associated with the wind is very interesting and I'm pretty sure there's a few theories out there linking the singing and the lore you find in Enkanomiya. the wind itself is an overly present theme in genshin and i love it

[@jadesides51]

Heck even the lore of Enkanomiya talks about Istaroth the god of wind, litterally Venti is a fragment of hers. And they even said that she controls both wind and time

[@jadesides51]

God of time*

[@eliavendetur]

ye i didn't want to mention any of that, i thought it a bit too spoilery. i'm pretty sure (but please correct me if i'm wrong, i'd love to know!) that Venti being a fragment of Istaroth is a theory as well

[@enanan4]

I hadn't realized this piece had a vocal aspect while playing in game, since the fights rarely last long enough to get to the later point of the song. I really love that voice, so pure and sweet on top of the strings. I also appreciate you pointing out the pirate-y vibes. I grew up hearing the Pirates of the Carribean music from my mother playing the sheet music on the piano, and I recognized the feeling immediately. Thanks as always for your commentary on this music, it shows it to me in a new light.

[@MarcoMeatball]

You’re welcome!

[@M4st3rDuck]

I love the Enkanomiya music and im glad you noticed that its just strings here. I feel it reflects the isolation and loss of identity the region has endured through the ages. Its a beautiful piece, and once you are in the region you'll definitely feel the loneliness it provokes. Makes me sad we are in the area for such a short time.

[@ShikikanAventa]

My favorite theme from Enkanomiya is "No Turning Back" (its the boss battle music), I really recommend you to hear it, it's simply so good

[@user-sd7ms3sy9q]

Its a good remix of a old mondstadt track, but its not orchestrated and takes very long to start up. Still a very good track but not on the level of the regular enka battle themes tbh.

Yeeess! This is one of my 2 absolute favorite combat tracks in the game! The other being Undersea Encounters (Which I also highly recommend you check out), which plays in the same area, but I believe during the night time (This one I believe plays during day time), just, the moment the breathing and humming starts, it just hits different, man, all the music in this area just hits so different compared to the music in the other nations, the entire album for the area this plays in, to this day, remains my favorite album from this game

4:17 This vocal paths pretty interesting, it's like representing the people of Enkanomiya running from something being out of breath. You definitely need to check out on more of Enkanomiya region

[@ytruiewopq]

I think the title "Combat beneath the waves" means, literally, UNDER the ocean. As in, the ocean is above you, and you're in this deep unknown and unexplored space, while the waves crash above you in the known world. As others have said, Enkanomiya is a forgotten ancient civilisation locked away to the depths of the world for hundreds of years. This feeling of despair and hopelessness of the once living people of this civilisation after the gods abandoned them, is what I think is represented by the breaths. I interpret it as desperate gasping, trying to reach the air that is slowly dissipating while you are banished from the world. If you are running, you are breathing heavily to try to obtain the air around you, and in this case you are also trying to reach the air that you want, except it's something more like the feeling of being obtaining freedom and and the desire of seeing the sky again.

[@luckymstr5614]

I can't wait for you to explore Enkanomiya in the near future, the area truly is a must experience

[@manuelaparcedo417]

[@vogan7505]

9:00 From that moment you mostly decribe entire location, awesome. What about battle themes 2 and 3? Wait until you come to plot?

[@WildspeakerYT]

What I love about this song is that is always evolving, it comes back to previous parts but adding or changing stuff, and the things it add are ver interesting, the sound of the strings, the audacity of the bass, the confusion of the breath that ends as a companion voice instead of just a little gimmick in the song, is a very good song. Enkanomiya has been one of the places I enjoyed the most, but bc of that now I have no other reasons to go there except to hear the OST bc is magnficent.

[@ammyokami5350]

Enkanomiya’s music felt so different from the rest of Teyvat when I first entered the area I was absolutely mesmerized, made me think I really entered another world And considering the lore you find in Enkanomiya… hats off to HoyoMix, amazing

[@roxasiii9320]

Enkynomia is a plce scirned by the gods and the people there have faded into nothing. To me the breathe represents the echoes of these people that linger as shades you can talk to

[@atriyakoller136]

The breathing at around 4:19 is very immersive to me - I've been joking that it's exactly how I'd be breathing if I ever had to fight like a Genshin character 😂 And when it comes to Enkanomiya, I generally prefer some of the BGM to the battle themes. If you look at the lore of Enkanomiya and do the world quests you realise how beautifully the music ties into all of it

[@NO-su3mf]

Breath and breathing are one of many underused sounds in music in my opinion. It gives this piece such a unique feel especially as a battle theme and one associated with this place in genshin which I have, admitedly, not been to and know very little about.

[@Natsu]

It's such a pity that Enkanomiya doesn't have any Archon Quest, so if you follow main story only, you won't get there. Probably the most unique place in the game in terms of atmosphere. Walking there for the first time, listening to that music, was such an impactful experience for me.

[@sneakretster]

This song, while I love it for how beautiful it is in a vacuum, I personally don't think it quite fits the area and feelings of Enkanomiya that I feel when I look at the desolate and lonely environment. On the other hand, the other battle theme has stuck with me ever since I heard it and sat listening for the first time for quite a few minutes (as a hilichurl was hanging out shooting at me in the background) and I felt genuinely touched by the song, it definitely left me pretty speechless. Something about the haunting melody just hit different, y'know? Enkanomiya is one of those places in Genshin that not only absolutely floored me when I first played through it because it's my favorite looking region in the entire game to this day, but also because the music and history was just *immaculate,* and it still sticks with me today. I REALLY wish they'd give us a reason to go back again, but I know it's left for good much like it is in the lore...

[@reisen1932]

I felt the OSTs in Enkanomiya were Final Fantasy like. I thought of how the vast and lost environment was "unlimited" as far as you could see. Literally the air around was the vast ocean. I felt like the strings really fitted in, but it's an another opinion to contribute in 😬.

It was amazing, its a great ability to understand the thing only while u listen the music! I love you 😍😍😍😍

[@kuri7154]

That heavy breathing sound is like a hack so geniusly effective it's bordering on the unethical. Human psychology and physiology both can affect the another and our brain isn't very good at telling apart which is the cause and which is the result. For example when we're nervous our heart might pump faster, however if we somehow artificially make our heart pump faster, we might also feel nervous even though there's nothing to be nervous about. Those heavy breathing sounds in the soundtrack, especially when listing thru headphones, are almost indistinguishable from hearing ourselves breathing heavily, yes cognitively we know it's not us, but the more rudimentary parts of our brain will pick up on that and make us feel unsettled.

Marco thank you so much for this one, I am so happy you reacted to the Enkanomiya battle theme, however as much as I love the first track of the battle theme, I think you should definitely listen to the 2nd and 3rd Battle Theme of Enkanomiya, it is honestly a piece I had to sit down, stop doing everything and just... cry. It shows really encompasses the tragic backstory of Enkanomiya as whole, especially the second one. I think you will find the third one VERY surprising and I think it would be a great piece to react to and see your views on it.

[@crafteariee]

Thank you for reacting to this piece! I love the rich string ensemble, the sense of echoing in the melody and the mysterious singing all coming together to paint a picture of the forgotten depths coming to light on this part of the Traveler's journey across Teyvat! Someone in another comment section talking about this particular track once mentioned the concept of either a siren singing a melody or also of anti-G-LOC breathing techniques (used by pilots soaring/ deep diving from the skies so they don't lose consciousness making a deep dive) which perhaps fits the idea of the Traveler taking careful breaths (hence the rapid breathing complementing the singing) as they're in a deep zone beneath the surface of Teyvat to explore a lost civilization beneath the waves. Such magical storytelling from one battle theme!

While I do agree that you have pretty much no reason to go back to Enkanomiya after you've finished everything there is, the battle theme definitely is a valid argument against that because it's so good.

It gets me excited because one Chasm battle theme also employs mostly strings and then that got other instruments added to it for the Chasm quest involving one of the Yaksha. I'm expecting this track to get a similar treatment in the future.

This is my favorite! I always play this at work, the music is so breathtaking i love the vocals! It really suit Enkanomiyas ambience and lore. It sounds like siren or ghost in Enka

oooh yeeeees Enkanomiya OST! This place is my favorite aaaaaaaa ♥ Enkanomiya is such a different place from the rest of the game, I love it so much even though it is so lonely and lost. It has it's own appeal, the wilderness OST there is hauntingly beautiful and moody.

Finally you try to hear this piece of masterpiece from hoyomix can't wait you to hear another enka theme and don't forget the sumeru battle theme too especially the desert one since both are really different

[@Andygotblurred]

what i think it's really funny is that it's venti's VA that does the vocalizations in this, and in *many* other pieces, so you could SAY yes it's the wind! (i personally find this bit of knowledge a little ominous, like what ARE you doing, god of freedom, rebellion, music *and death*??????)

[@MarilynTam]

this is one of my favourite Genshin music. I even have this on top of my song list. Thank you for covering this one. ❤️

[@DorneysHouseofGames]

Just starting watching this, excited!!

[@min.4044]

Alwayyysss love to watch you. Your reactions are so genuine it gets me the feels Edit: your face when you reached the breathing is priceless lmao you looked so clueless

[@RosariaDewi]

Ah.. finally you touch this underrated music area! can't wait for you to react to their dark night and white night ost. Also the breath of the singers i think to pictured the enkanomiyan people who had a very hard time breathing in that place when they first plunged to the realm between abyss and teyvat. not a day after they are plunged there, they had to fight the vishap to defend their land while having a diffcult time to breath. so i think this represents enkanomiyan tale very well

[@gaydragonsq4101]

When the soprano sang the super high note with a crescendo and a decrescendo it reminded me of light because Enkanomiya is a city in a void with only a lighthouse the size of a capital building to guid your eyes.

What I love the most about this battle theme is the woman's voice, the violin already gives this pirate/sea impression to me, but the voice truly makes it seem like a mermaid first gasping for air and later on singing in the sea

[@ShadowStrikerTheLoneWolf]

Hope or Nostalgia is a piece you MUST check out.

[@SpookaySpctr]

Love and enjoy your reactions. Always so fun! ❤️

[@Kairos8749]

i love enkanomya, is my favorite place in the game

[@ladyzero3509]

OMG YES BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE FOR SO LONG

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

Been a while since I wanted to see this one.

[@zangy3748]

Reminds me a bit of the music in Divinity Original Sin 2 when you choose the chello as instrument during character creation. Basically most themes in the music are then played by the instrument one chose. It's kinda interesting and awesome.

[@lagrangewei]

blind reacting is part of the fun. as for what I think about the vocal... i feel it add some mystery to it. while the instrument give me the feel of adventure... it kinda like a pirate theme, like we are exploring an unknown island...
