"Don't Ever Forget..." But It's A Lo-Fi Hip-Hop Remix to Cry & Break Down To | PMD 2 {070}

[@kirbyfan2525]

lofi beats you’ll never forget

[@Ledyuka]

POV: You watched the last episode of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorer of Skies anime and you stayed through the outro thinking it cannot end like that.

[@FiveNineSquared]

they really did just cliffhanger it didnt they

[@Ledyuka]

@@FiveNineSquared Those MF's But if it ends in a good ending, that's pardoned

[@theriverdrawsnear]

Did not expect vocals.

[@FiveNineSquared]

no one expects the UTAU inquisition

[@SmellyFerret146]

Well now i have to watch till the end...

[@phoenixedraws]

the first half without the vocals made me think "it's all over now, we made it" edit: the second half with the vocals makes me think "it's... all over now, we might never see each other again"

[@ohlookablankchannel]

first half: oh this is cute second half: why am i crying

[@EmierSW]

I just realised that, just like how this is the only arrangement from this channel with lyrics, Don't Ever Forget's scene is also the only moment in the game where the main protagonist speaks. Kinda fitting lol

[@ezdyu]

Couldn't put my finger on it til they started singing, but this had such intense Neighborhood energy. As a standalone piece it fits right into the genre, including the Lamprey Hole-esque duet lol

[@FiveNineSquared]

I wouldn't reaalllly consider it that but maybe if I made the vocals go all the way from the start to finish it could qualify hahah

[@ezdyu]

Gotta have the final act vocal powerup!

[@localTurtwig]

Accurate title 11/10 would recommend

[@biscuitBRO-c7j]

This is the best Remix of the ost I've ever heard

[@DazlMusic]

This is my favorite thing to come from KZbin recommend ever

[@Zhugo83]

When I first saw your other video on Dialga's Fight, I wanted to check if you've done more on the ost of the same game, after finding this video and a first watch, I remembered that I've played this game before (Explorers of Darkness), but it was so long ago that I can't even remember the story except the gameplay loop. After the end of the listen I grab my old DSI and started a new game on the Sky version, ready to explore this story once again. I know this song and the Dialga one will be in it, but since they are technicacly "remixes", I'll still have to hear the original ones for the first time, again. Never the less, this song made me really in awe and admiration for what stories lay inside a such simple game. I must thank you so much for this song and the odd of me randomly finding it.

[@FiveNineSquared]

I'm glad that your DSi still works well! Hope you had fun revisiting the game.

[@Zhugo83]

@@FiveNineSquared Yes thanks! The game was a joy to replay, I was shocked that I barely remembered the story so far! Although I also did the Post story, included in the sky version and all the other stories, I can't thank you enough for reminding me of this beautiful game.

[@biscuitBRO-c7j]

God that scene struck me like a truck

[@Kirbio_TAE]

This is really REALLY good I don't know where to start. It is an incredibly unique but welcome take on this track, with all the new chords twist, the arrangement style, and the instrumentation. The UTAU vocal duet bit actually left me in tears, it reminds me of a long-lost dear close friend who was really into k-style songs. That memory combined with the lyrics itself hits really close to home. You did a phenomenal job on this!

[@FiveNineSquared]

Thank you very much! I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm very into K too, their stuff influenced me a lot in the last two years.

[@ArceusOfTheTacos]

I've listened to this particular remix at minimum over a hundred times throughout the past week. The original song was nice, you made it with better instruments and of course, rescored it to make the song flow better. You've also added references from other songs in the game and as the cherry on top: the Japanese duet was absolutely beautiful, especially if you took the time to read the English subtitles. I've listened to a lot of Pokémon song remixes. After forming an opinion around it throughout the month, I think it's fair to say that this is one of, if not my favorite remix out of all of the remixes ever posted online. Phenomenal work!!

[@FiveNineSquared]

Thank you very much! Well, I wouldn't say these instruments are "better" per se. After all the original was limited a lot by hardware and I think the sound team actually got quite a lot out of the sounds they used! Honoured to take that title though. Still I'm sure there are better remixes out there heheheh.

[@javiscripter]

I was vibing to it until I read the captions. Now I'm sad 😭

[@FiveNineSquared]

that's what every j-pop song does

[@anygamebutmostlypokemonfan4582]

same

[@tilt09-outdated]

I’ve never finished Explorers of Sky but this brings me so many memories…

[@Seafoamgaming]

Absolutely loved the vocal work here! I always wanted a J-pop inspired PMD remix, and well, this seems like the closest we’ll get to such a thing: definitely a great vibing remix all around

[@FiveNineSquared]

Thanks! Oh,,, when TPC finally makes a full-length PMD anime with an OP/ED and all. That will be the day... I recognise you from that interview you had with Shinichiro Tomie! You're doing great work too :D

[@jaemy39]

why is this so good

[@Naxo4402]

This is wonderfull, as soon as I heard them saying I will never forget you I started crying... great use of the UTAU and the instrumental is very nostalgic, thank you for this.

[@huantian]

Instead of treating patients, we about to get some lofi beats to not forget friends to 😉

[@huantian]

@FiveNineSquared I can see what you mean by semi-lofi haha man your mv really makes me want to do a RD level of this.. especially once you get to the UTAU bits, I think copying the mv could make a pretty cool level in terms of visual style, and the music leads to some pretty interesting but simple gameplay if I do decide to make a level i'll have to ask you if I can borrow some of these assets hehe

[@FiveNineSquared]

@@huantian yeah i kinda got sidetracked after the intro lmao. i cannot lo-fi oh no i don't think you want my assets they are... very space-inefficient :p I did just rip most of them off the websites in the description though, I think it's better to start from there

[@huantian]

@@FiveNineSquared oh are most of them just direct rips? that shouldn't be too hard then still gotta spend the work to track stuff down but if I do do this I should probably get the gameplay down before doing any asset-ing

[@Arioksu]

What a beautiful lo-fi rearrangement, but when I activated the subtitles, I couldn't help shedding a tear...

[@lpsvss]

I was so strong and ready to go the entire song without crying and then I turned on those damn subtitles. Incredible work, duder :o

[@FiveNineSquared]

Thank you!! I wonder, if I never made those subtitles. Would the emotional damage be worse when people manually translate it........

[@meemo5196]

this is the hardest this song and scene has hit for me, ever. amazing work, friend. i'll never forget this arrangement.

[@grumpybearbear]

I wasn't expecting Rouon Aro and Mine Laru, fits so amazingly!!!

[@idk_what_im_doing04]

shaabsybsshxbshwhdhdssaaazidnd7dj NOT THE LYRICS BEING THE DIALOUGE IM KICKIN SCREAMIN AND SOBBING I came here to vibe. Should've known better

[@FiveNineSquared]

Now that you've mentioned that I should rename the video, hold on.

[@Pergle]

This is my favorite of your arrangements of this ost. I love the unique take on this piece, much more chill than the original. More of an emotion of quiet acceptance and heartfelt thanks/staying calm to try and comfort your partner kinda vibes. The lyrics stab me right in the heart. Once they start up i get dust in my eye.

[@LeCorbeauNoar]

holy shit i got chills when the vocals kicked in

[@totophotoPersonal]

Wow- I wasn't expecting the lyrics, gosh That was one of the best thing's I've seen in a while. Truly a Happy PMD day, Thank you For making such amazing music and animations too as always,

[@Sean081799]

Holy crap I love this - the synth choices were on point, and I love the chord/progression analysis in the corner!

[@FiveNineSquared]

Thanks! The chord analysis is a compromise for not having any sheet music for this one lol

[@somerandomguy-3102]

idk when i was expecting this to come out but definetely not TOMORROW

You combined three of my favourite things in life: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Lo-Fi and UTAU. I love this so much 💖

[@FiveNineSquared]

I'm happy this was able to reach that extremely specific intersect between the three fandoms :p

[@kor6514]

That ending got me :( Great work as always

[@Dirakiaa]

ah shite, missed the Premiere! Surprisingly chill given such a sad song~ And i bloody see now why you needed such a gigantic background lmaoo

[@FiveNineSquared]

you know i only figured out halfway through that DV Resolve had a nearest neighbour scaling option but I was already resizing everything into 2k+ resolution images And there was definitely an easier way to pull off the scrolling background than an 8k png image hhhhhhh

@@FiveNineSquared LMAOOOO! Modern Problems require Modern Solutions

[@metaknight5199]

this blew me away, so i put it on loop a few times. love this.

[@Pokesquad_PTPikachu]

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION OF A LO-FI TRACK I GENIUNELY WANTED TO REPLAY EOS NOW

[@mittelego1098]

Pokemon Dungeon Explorer of the Sky was one of the best games I've ever played. I would recommend everyone to play this masterpiece

[@Andriu-eh9sg]

It's always amazing this lo-fi hip hop type of themes, the instrumental leaves you with the phrases: "I want more of this beat" and "This beat it a little bit cheerful, so it doesn't feat X theme", but at the end, it ends up being way more memorable than one thinks, truly beats that you won't forget.

[@umiiryuu]

omg the vocal part I was SO not ready to this (and the subtitles aaa) I don't have words ezcrzekjrxzrziue this is such a great idea and it fits so well?? This is definitely one of my favorite PMD remix ever Really, it's a very surprising remix and it's absolutely wonderful I first just discovered your Dialga's Fight to the Finish and it was super interesting to see this musical style, it really was chaotic but it was so well done! (btw I thought it fits so much a fight against Primal Dialga, as he lost himself and the time was really disrupted) But I wasn't ready to this Don't Ever Forget remix either, they are both very different with a whole different mood but you did such a great job on both I just love how unique are your remix!! I'm really impressed, thanks for sharing them! (and if I can add, even the video of this remix is pretty cool!!)

[@FiveNineSquared]

Thank you very much hahaha I think in retrospect I mixed the p. dialga arrangement quite badly so it might sound a lot more "messy" than it should.

[@qwertyrhoads9295]

[@aliffentwinters5618]

Thank you for making PMD music!! I haven't heard a remix of the Explorer music in awhile and its a blessing to find this channel. Keep it up!! 🔥

[@sugasnaps]

Wasn't expecting the Lyrics here but wow it fits so well. Idk if its your singing but it's so good if it is!

it isn't sadly. it's a singing software called Utau. The vocals I used are in the description
