[Pokemon White/Black] Village Bridge (Orchestral Buildup Mix)

I decided to create an orchestral remix of one of my favorite Black/White pieces. The thought-to-be lyrics are:
Ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji
Ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji
I am a geezer standing in the dusk, mesmerized by the gulls.
I am a geezer standing in the dusk, mesmerized by the gulls.
Aoi umi o nagamete wa naki
Aoi minato wa kamome koishikute
Gazing fixedly into the sapphire sea, I bemoan with shed tears,
As I yearn for the lovely gulls soaring above the blue harbor.

One of the few songs in any Pokémon game that genuinely made me stop and listen to it.

[@randomnachomuchacho7168]

Right?! After I realized that talking to those specific NPC's added layers to it I was all over this route!

[@ludovicchabod6525]

OMG A FREAKING BIG AMEN TO YOU ❤️❤️❤️

[@CreativeHandleOrSomething]

The only one for me, but the rest of Unova soundtrack is really good too. This specific song is just so good that it made me never want to leave Village Bridge lol

[@kanesnod6994]

its a memory i can always bring back i can firmly remember running all arund this place ingame as if i was there in real life just kicking back to enjoy the music chilling with the lapras

[@sp10482]

One of the many songs in any Pokémon game that genuinely made me stop and listen to it.

[@randomstormtrooper6558]

Every time I heard this song since way back, I always imagined Satoru Iwata singing this.

[@snakejesus]

Maybe he is, up there somewhere, but what I know for sure is; Mr.Satoru Iwata has became a Kami, he brought us beautiful memories of our childhood growing up, and he'll forever live in our hearts and the power of the Nintendo consoles will solidify his legacy

[@RexyWolf]

Mr. Iwata sang this?

[@Masckerdoom]

That's cute The lyrics are of a regretful and unfulfilled old man though. Not particularly suiting.

[@KamenRiderRaiden]

@@Masckerdoom Doesnt need to suit his life situation for the guy to roll in and be like "Hey you need someone to sing? Hang on lemme get a cup o' water real quick", I mean, hell Reggie could roll up at some point and sing _Jump Up, Superstar_ if he rolled into Nintendo HQ at the right time to shoot the shit with Bowser (Or even Miyamoto if he went to the JP HQ)

[@Masckerdoom]

@@KamenRiderRaiden shut up

[@polican935]

I remember this song, it was so calming I didnt want to leave the village. The fact that you could build the music was also pretty cool. This particular pokemon game I beat on release day and this brings back great memories.. Thank you for bringing those memories back to me.. I really needed it.

[@Rikaisupcom]

You beat it on release day? HOW?

[@Shugonii]

This song had the same effect on me, it brings back so many memories from my teenage years. I thank pokemon for such wonderful songs

[@elementalquartet7276]

Don't forget !

[@zitro420]

Just the anger of not getting Lapras over and over was outweighed by this music

[@otangakudyokeman7124]

wdum by "you could build the music" ?

[@FishFace3000x3]

It seems that most people who have come across this bridge have something in common, that being actually stopping to listen to the song. The song filled me with emotions the first time hearing it, still does. This orchestral remix is beautiful and the supposed lyrics are just the cherry on top, fits the emotions so well, very poetic. Got goosebumps hearing this

[@Mazillion]

Inspired me as a kid to want learn music in the first place. It was one of the first songs I learnt on piano, and even with 6 years of experience and having finished the final grade exam, I still play this song to this day. It’s such an underrated song in the Pokémon franchise and doesn’t get nearly as much love as it should. Personally, I think it’s the most genius use of music in the entire series.

[@genjixi7589]

It was so worth it when you found all the instrumental and vocalist in this village it all came together as one to make a beautiful track I've missed this

[@remylebeau432]

When we listen across the band is when the music truly happens.

[@KevinEontrainer381]

I wish this song comes back in future generations, maybe as a secret feature

[@LegoCat88]

Kevin Eontrainer Or in a remake of black and white

[@cornmono3665]

Forever will be one of my favorite Pokémon songs for a plethora of reasons. Very good arrangement.

[@Alpha-gk6hd]

Been listening to this for years. Gets me so sad and nostalgic

[@euterpe_exe]

I didn't know a song could bring such a strong sense of nostalgia... I feel at home.

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

When you’re older. You’ll remember the happier days and memories. You’ll understand

[@brileonn]

*clicks on video* *immediately presses like before even hearing the song* One of the most special Pokémon tunes! ❤️

[@matiaspapa1065]

Forever grateful that I was able to experience this game fully when it came out, with my innocent and naive 12 years old mind. I was truly blown away by every detail in the game. Years have passed now, and we are all growing, but the sentiment I keep from BW2 is unique.. it's much more than a simple pokémon game to me.

[@murcielagosv9244]

Its crazy for me to see this as it makes me realize how old I am. You're comment is the same for me except it was Crystal version on the Gameboy advance when I was a kid and it was just as magical to me

[@piraka_mistika]

Black was my first Pokémon game, and by far the one I've put the most hours into. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@Agoodwaygame-lp3xe]

This is the the place I went to.after I had beaten the game fully and just sat and reflected on the wonderful game I had played

[@jgpjeanpaul6516]

Never have i forgotten this song.

[@karlotty]

This and Verdanturf town makes me feel weird emotions deep inside.

[@pinkmonkey328]

[@henrique2b]

Once I was doing homework, I used Fly with Swanna to get there, I did my homework after fully building the instrumental.

[@KamisatoElias]

I love that haha

The Village Bridge is based on the real-life Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy. Even if you can't live there, it's worth a visit!

[@SrRodnand]

this song made me feel like I was a child again, so I think that's why it makes us cry

[@luunivaa]

Oh gosh... This deserve more views and likes, it's SO good! Especially that Double Bass!

[@UnleashOurPassion]

omg that double bass

[@youbaobab]

Boi dat double bass

[@d3stiny822]

It really is the icing on the cake.

[@delalamontimothyleonards.8251]

I usually don't care about music, and I usually just talk to npcs in cities then leave immediately after, but Village Bridge legit made me stay and just vibe with the music, and I keep coming back too xD

[@hermanop6040]

*English is not my fluent language, sorry for any typos. I never had a DS, I never got a chance to try games on that console until recently when I managed to emulate it on my mobile. So I decided to play Pokémon White 2 on this emulator, I haven't finished it yet, but I've witnessed incredible experiences, even the most memorable so far for me; the Village Bridge Music, the whole atmosphere of this place is incredibly cozy, but like many others here, what most impressed me was the music, calm and soft. I listened for a long time while talking to NPCs until I noticed the music changed while talking to some of them, until I talked to that NPC who does the vocals, and man... I got goosebumps, I didn't understand the lyrics, but I stayed there for a long time anyway and I loved every second. I know in the future I will wish I could experience it all for the first time again, it makes me more excited to help my brother when he plays Unova, I want him to enjoy it like I do. Now I understand why so many people love the 5th generation.

[@kia2884]

My heart hurts when I'm listening to this. Am I really that old now?

[@CoolMintMC]

This Song Has Got Me Crying Again, Thank You So Much!!!!! 😢 I Love It So Much, & You Have Some How Made It A Lot Better!!!!!! 😊💚💝💜

Why are you capitalizing the first letter of every word

I see now why Pokémon games these days just don't compare to gen 5. Because once you've reached perfection, where do you go?

[@vatsalparmar5740]

@Shreyansh Thakur black widow. 'nuff said.

I love this video so much! Makes me want to cry

[@elpuncho5403]

This song here is one of the reasons i believe gen 5 was the best. thanks for the nostalgia.

I already found this an amazing song before i knew about the buildup in it, but with it, it’s even better

[@lostonessoul8435]

What I see when I hear this in RP form: (Quick backstory: I imagine that, at least for me, each protagonist is the same guy. Kinda like ash but not annoying as hell.) Me: wooh.....it's really heating up, an't it Kubo? Kubo: (the Samurot nods yes gently spraying me with water to cool me off.) Me: aaah......thanks bud. I never realized how hot a summer in Unova can get. Then again I AM more used to the cool breezes of Johto so that could play a part in it. Kubo: (the Samurot smiles a little as he puts me on his back) Me: speaking of Johto I wonder how Lilac, Kenya, Ember, Twilight and the others are doing? I hope my adopted mom isn't spoiling them....or that Ember hasn't burnt the house down...she's a typhlosion with one heck of a temper so I hope she doesn't burn the house to cinders. Kubo: Sam Samurot. (Agreed how troubling.) Me: (takes off Umbreon themed jacket and puts it in bag.) whew much better. I forgot I had that on....Sinho really is different temperature wise....! HEY KUBO!!!! A TOWN WITH A RIVER BANK DEAD AHEAD!!! Kubo: Sama. Rot Rot? (Indeed. Full speed then?) Me: YOU BET! CHAAAAAAARGE!!!!! (They both end up in the water cooling off) Me: aaahh.....this is perfect.... Kubo: Samaroot....(yeeeaah....)
