Evolution of Anime Music IN PUBLIC (1973 - 2023)

[@jayhu2296]

bruh imagine randomly seeing two world class violinists perform on the street one day for free

[@waimanlam3035]

2 Set were busking?

I always tip street musicians. I would tip them.

[@LuQiYun]

Ikr, they're lucky to be there 😆

[@georgiag851]

I hope those people understood just how much of a privilege that would have been listening to such wonderful violinists. Lovely video!

[@yanikg-force]

Word.

[@NicoR24601]

I doubt it, for non musicians he likely sounds just as good as any decent violinist in the subway.

[@Nusutto]

​@@NicoR24601most anime songs are easy to play

[@coldice555]

​@@Nusuttobut you can't

[@Nusutto]

@@coldice555 ok you dont know that but either way if I can or cant it doesnt change the statement at all. From a perspective of music in general, anime songs arent hard to play. As in someone whos already knows how to play an instrument they wont have a hard time learning most anime songs. Im not saying its hot cross buns easy, Im saying the skill level required isnt that high.

[@DreamySleepyDrowsy]

That child was such a sweetheart, he must really love music

[@RayChenViolinist]

I know right! He’s got dance moves! My fav part of the video 😍

[@thunderbirdice]

That’s was heartwarming

[@eggizgud]

Like Joshua Bell playing in a street experiment...it was the children passing by who'd stop to watch but their adult caretakers would pull them away, in a rush through life.

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Maybe a future violist !

[@iwatchtoomuchtwoset]

He was so cute!!! He will probably play violin one day...

[@ultimatevangers]

Getting goosebumps over howl's moving castle and having that impromptu duet between two violinist and one anime song Thanks for sharing and definitely more anime songs busking~

[@yashjha0007]

yep, i felt the same

[@TacticalStrike]

Not impromptu but still cool

[@therobloxexplorer1249]

Bri pokemon brought back memories

[@iguroObanaiSnakeyboy]

I love ghibi studio its really relaxing and calm...

[@blueberry3166]

Looks like Karolina has you hooked on busking in Santa Monica! Great duet between you and Rob, awesome gents

[@RayChenViolinist]

I definitely received a boost of confidence since that experience with her!

[@blueberry3166]

@@RayChenViolinist She's certainly full of confidence on her street, I think your visit boosted her a lot too especially for her concert debut the other night, I know it's unlikely but I hope you two can perform again one day together

[@nathanielcutajar]

I love how Ray had to introduce us to Rob as if we haven't gone through Rob's game song videos already xD

[@mamamememoo]

I haven’t. I’m going wow. ^^

[@ynot5478]

What a delight! An unexpected collaboration and fans of all ages-what’s not to love about this video? Thank you for sharing.

[@Ankah]

People casually walking, not knowing they have the greatest soloist of the century in front of them 😂 that’s hilarious lol

[@skt009]

Not everyone is music junkeie

It because they don't watch anime lol​@@skt009

[@superrockworldgamer2905]

5:29 Bro u make me feel happy because you are one of the only violinist that played this song. I am very happy that I started my violin journey after started watching you. It is my 3rd month in violin.

[@summersummer1232]

Was this arranged or they just ran into each other? Rob would have known who Ray Chen is! This is amazing. I was checking Ray's concert schedule & world tour, but there is none until next year. So this is where he is performing in public! I cannot believe this world-class violinist is so close to the audience and embracing different types of music with joy!

[@richardmaia8732]

Arranged of course haha

[@D.U.D.E-]

How gullible can you be? It was arranged, nonetheless it was quite cool to see

[@lucienazario2786]

Ray Chen has so many concerts lined up in 2024... from January until April. I guess you did not research well on his schedule for next year. He is a great concert violinist!!!

[@joy1ess]

the second violin was just sitting there waiting to be picked up 😆

[@채널방문]

연출이군요

[@charleschin6497]

wow, Ray, what a treat. Really cheered me up a lot. Thank you. You ended the video with Gurenge, one of my favourite, the ending was powerful

[@kucingrabbit]

Feels like to cry watching this! 😢 thank you for playing such nostalgic theme songs with your beautiful violin.. I know all the songs from 1973-2006 + demon slayer.. thank you! 💜

[@xiaomaolin.]

I wish more people would have stopped to appreciate the talent, discipline and dedication this takes. Bravo!

[@MustafaAlmosawi]

Sad that you missed one of the most epic and violin-appropriate anime themes: Neon Genesis Evangelion’s theme song. Still wonderful to see you having so much fun with music and the violin

[@buffywasright]

What a great collab I would never have expected. Harmonies on Demon Slayer were out of control!

[@Slipsch]

Ray, you're such an amazing human being. Really love how authentic you are and how humble you are despite all your successes. We need more human beings like you.

[@julia_btfl]

We need more Ray Chen in public like this 😊 Please busking more Ray 😁❤

[@franci5]

saw this video on tiktok. then pop over to youtube watch the original video. thank you so much for creating this. i really love it.

[@doremi_sweet_official]

many foreigners don't know about japanese anime culture and cannot appreciate them.😢 thank you for spreading the anime culture and hope more and more people coule enjoy anime!

[@unuao]

It’s amazing that two people playing the violin together ,I play the violin before but my hands hurts so I gave up

[@Lucid-o7z]

All my favorite intros by my favorite violin KZbinrs together ... such a bliss

[@lucienazario2786]

This is very different from all the classical music that you have in your repertoire. Sometimes it's okay and quite entertaining to deviate from your genre of music. Whether classical or anime music, you play extraordinarily!!! You are truly a great violinist!!! Keep it up. 👏👏👏

[@mcastroman1953]

So beautiful. Thanks.

[@Justin-eg5gu]

How

[@sangsemut4934]

Thanks

[@wtsings4908]

All of these people in this video are amazing Rob and Ray play so good together and the kid is suppressing them at his amazing dance with Rob and Ray plus the crowd is just watching the joy of playing anime musk on the violin I’ve only played for a year so I want to become like you both and one of my most favorite violin channels and favorite anime music is probably the Pokémon, also looks like Karolina helped you out to put yourself out there in public.

[@amadeus5889]

I appreciate the subversion of “classical musician starts performing in public and is UNEXPECTEDLY joined by another!”

[@zititan3015]

OMG wish I was there. Most of the songs that you guys played were my favorite tracks! Hope I get to see your live shows one day!

[@chrysanthemum5289]

It would take a real die hard fan to recognise all the theme songs you played...that child really had fun enjoying and dancing to the music.

The hype this kind of performance would get in an asian city!! Wish Ray could perform somewhere in Singapore like this!!

[@hillmanhung3846]

Unfortunately our Singapore government doesnt allow street performances without a licence

Fantastic! Hoping for part 2 and include: 1. Yuyu Hakusho opening 2. Slam Dunk opening and sekai ga owaru made wa 3. Fushigi Yuugi (i super love the OSTs of this anime so... 😂😂😂) 4. Detective Conan (esp those by Zard, Kamiki Aya) 5. Hunter X Hunter opening theme 6. Shaman King (Oversoul, Northern Lights) And the list goes on... 😂😂😂

I am Japanese and I really love you guys because you love our anime culture and music. I was very touched that people around the world know and get excited about Japanese anime songs.

[@simobk9216]

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic!

[@AndySaenz924]

WOW, they are both very talented! I needed some R&R today-Ray and Rob! I’m glad to see Ray expanding his violin repertoire. Most of the time I just see him performing classical music inside world class venues surrounded by a massive orchestra.

[@harrydo539]

nearly 40 year of age, watched countless animes, nothing hit me harder than the classic Doraemon theme song. Damn, it makes my 5 year old me dancing with memories

[@japancountryball2000]

4:04 wow! You feel me happy! (Countryball eye expression: joyful (^^))

[@Cimegs5088]

It brought tears to a 40 year old man for seeing somebody bringing joy to others with music, especially for a child who is still new to the world, to be able to learn about this world through such joy in music is just beautiful wonderful thing.

But honestly, how often are you going to stop to watch buskers, no matter how good- I’m usually on my way some where. And if I stop to listen I feel like a stinger bastard if I don’t give some money, but I rarely carry cash nowadays.

[@Feathertail2205]

​@@susanbryant6516I think buskers appreciate that people would stop to even listen. The least I would do if I don't have money is give applause at the end.
