osu!, beatmania, Sound Voltex, Muse Dash, whatever the rhythm game you play is, you may have wondered what the story of the rhythm game artists behind the music in-game are. This is a new series where I attempt to explore that, and today we'll be looking at one of the most well known composers, sakuzyo! Learn about the history of classics such as Altale, AXION, Imprinting and more!

Hope you enjoy. Also, for those that don't read the desc, follow me on twitter for updates: twitter.com/RinnyThe16th CORRECTIONS: I used a Pump It Up video instead of DDR as pointed out by u/KcLKcL. My bad!

[@Ahri1412]

His music albums are absolutely beautiful if you listen from the first to the final track, like it tell you a story throughout the music.

[@rinnythe16th]

Thinking of going through them and reviewing them some day for a vid :D

[@chukyuniqul]

It might be getting near to a year since I've seen this song called "synthesized angel" in my recommended list on youtube music. now, at the time, I was mostly listening to all good things with a dash of music from monstercat, mostly stuff off just shapes and beats. But I liked the name of the title and, hell, the image looked compelling so I gave it a listen. Since then, I've been obsessed with this world that song alone brought to life with images. It started with just this image of a colossal, mechanical abomination suddenly rocketing towards the stratosphere, awakened, before it begins to blast the surface of a city made of steel with devastating beams. I saw that so clearly that it didn't take me two days to hash out the rough details in my mind and now, more than a year later, I'm...well ngl, I'm stuck pretty much grinding my drawing ability because I plain always thought I'd suck so I never practiced but now as an adult I wanna. But I gotta keep working and one day I'll be inflicting this story Sakuzyo's pretty much implanted in my brain on the world and then...well idk, it'll prolly not be the greatest but I hope people will at least see why I found value in it, even if they themselves don't like it that much.

[@cinamynj]

This was great, I can imagine a part 2 for Sakuzyo. He moved into some real incredible orchestral stuff after this I think he also made a video game and entire OST in the last few years

[@rinnythe16th]

Thanks for watching man, I believe you're actually right on that and I hope to review it (and some of his modern stuff) one day!

[@BentuxTheCowBenedict]

Sakuzyo def deserves a part 2; his harmony and instrumentation and sound design have only evolved to become more complex and experimental. He’s gotten into writing in different forms, whether it’s jazzy stuff (Transportation, Never Get To Heaven -Drunk-, etc), or even songs with symphonic aspirations (I am End, Inane, Nirvana). There’s even Rotten Forest, which is highly ambient. I unapologetically love Sakuzyo’s music, and unsurprisingly perhaps, I take a lot of inspiration from him. As a sidenote, he himself takes heavy inspiration from legendary pianist composer Alexander Scriabin, particularly apparent in the recently released piano pieces, especially in Waltz at the brink of the cliff.

[@fishtail2616]

@@BentuxTheCowBenedict Then you have the weird stuff like kandata in the hell

[@sumjester]

Literally an anime character. Man started competing at 13 years old and kept massively improving each year.

[@synthesizedangel3599]

The first song i like is refel from VOEZ game. From this, i found many great artcore artist like xi, void (mournfinale), etc and totally changed my perspective about artcore music. Thanks sakuzyo, Lost Memory and Synthesized Angel would be my favorite song all the time.

[@crusnova]

PRAISE LORD SAKUZYO

[@rinnythe16th]

🙏🙏🙏🙏the almighty

[@tsay4769]

As someone who can understand chinese and a bit of japanese, I can confirm the translation of that song title is…pretty accurate

[@sansclone1874]

And I am still amazed with his creation. Look at his latest creation to date: Distorted Fate. It make me ascend

[@shiweiye6098]

Really amazing Informative video about the start of sakuzyo, one of my favorite artist, hope you do more artists ike feryquitos, Ice or Jioyi

[@rinnythe16th]

Thanks for watching man! Will definitely have a look into those 3 for the future :)

[@drsnorlax_felineknights]

At first, i know sakuzyo from cytus game in around 2013-2014. Black lair and axion on that time definitely catch my attention. After that, i become one of his fans after listening to scattered rose i found in osu. Dear god, and now Lost Memory still on my top spot in favourite tracks of all time.

[@Jbesed]

Talking about sakuzyo, my favorite album by now is "food and music 2" I just can't stop hearing it uwu

[@picori4847]

food and musik 1 is my favorite album

[@cylu3532]

Amazing video! Cytus 2 got me into Sakuzyo's music, and he quickly became my favorite artist in rhythm games and in general, so It's cool to see his roots. I'm definitely going to binge-watch your other videos, and I look forward to your future vids! :)

[@rinnythe16th]

Love to hear it man! I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@gonnyloyd]

Thank youuu! I love sakuzyo, and this video a lot. I can know about him more. Keep it up!! ♥️

[@rinnythe16th]

No, thank YOU for watching! Glad I could help :D

would love to see a video on Team Grimoire and Kasai Hardcores!

[@litfill54]

King of artcore, or the honourable genre of artcore

[@PatGamingMusic]

If xi is the king of artcore, Sakuzyo is the queen of artcore. While xi is the pioneer which start the genre of artcore, Sakuzyo is refining and shaping the artcore that we know today.

[@Twilight55685]

Pat-san?

[@Khalessi707]

I discovered his music first through Deemo, Altale specifically being the one that had stuck with me, striking a big cord of my heart. That song seriously threw me into a fantasy land with the sounds of the bells and the woodwinds, and the gorgeous violins; and I mean years later now when I started using spotify and found that it was on the album Fairythm, that made sense lol. But as much as I do love his other songs on Voez, like Refel being the most known, the song And more or Less definitely has to be my favorite underrated masterpeice! The rapping from Picton gives similar vibes to that of Gorillaz from his flow, and the guitar solo Sakuzyo made near the end of the song is just *chefs kiss* immaculate, truly. I can't even really describe the feeling it gives me? But it makes me feel like I'm in the inner city of an early 2000's video game. Sadly its not on his offical discography on Spotify, but if he ever decides to put it on there one day I will stream it constantly. I also wish it was longer too, at least being a usual 3 minute length song because I feel as though it could be expanded upon with a few more rap verses, and some more of that sick electric guitar. I swear this man is a legend and I hope that he never looses his passion for music.

[@BlueNitroTiger]

Sakuzyo, one of my favorites out there.

[@CraftH]

Hey! Nice video, your channel is very underrated, I'm definitely going to subscribe. Also, you should make a video about Camellia!

[@rinnythe16th]

Thanks man, much appreciated! Also I want to save Camellia's one for when I really find my stride so it wont be for a while

[@reillocb]

Great vid as always m8. My fav sakuzyo song is probably imprinting but I also always liked shadyshady for how different it was. Thanks to your vid I can see how the guy has history experimenting with styles outside of just artcore. Also the new mic sounds great too.

[@rinnythe16th]

ShadyShady is really cool, if you like that sort of style from him I recommend checking out Synthesized Angel (if you haven't already). Thanks for always sticking around man, can't express how much I appreciate it :)

[@kell2859]

I am not even into Rhythm games but i still think his music is one of the best things I've heard

[@Witherstorm-gv6eq]

4:22 Sakuzyo should try amen breakcore again, can't wait to see how it turns out

[@EVziphrinx]

Just popped up in my recommendation. Nice video and Good job!

[@rinnythe16th]

Thanks for watching man 🙏

[@HolyFlare484]

I watched this video since I really only knew sakuzyo from Fracture Ray and it's remix by StaZyo (sakuzyo and Sta combined) but god damn The main thing that intrigued me was the Chaos Theory part. There is actually a metal band I listen to with the same name so that part made me want to stay for the rest

[@NingSamaElevatorManiac]

He seems like one of my most favorite rhythm game artist since I start playing rhythm games three years ago. His song is so great and made me happy even in hard times hehe.

[@kalistaredacted2808]

His music is also now used in the Terraria modding community, now he is indirectly competing with other amazing Terraria music makers such as DM Dokuro and CD Music! On side note, my sincerest condolences to Dokuro and CD cause they quit working for Calamity mod cause of awful drama, Calamity community toxic NGL.

[@sansclone1874]

The what happened? Lord's Heaven, never I knew such a modder community from such a calm community can be that overwhelming

[@kingstonlovely7404]

You see, sakuzyo isn't really "working" for fargo as it is just fargo taking his music

[@shrry2849]

29:03 I hear Imprinting

[@logobot7572]

...and here I am, who found out about him from ARCAEA (he made fracture ray if you didn't know)

[@auricarev.]

iirc the tarolabo song in chaos theory was on youtube as "erogrononsense" which... explains the translation? probably?

[@rinnythe16th]

That makes slightly more sense but still a bit of a 🤔er

[@nexusprodigal1028]

The song in the intro is sheriruth by laur future 10+ eternal core arcaea

[@YOM2_UB]

Technically Scattered Rose is the 19th song on Selentia. Track 18 is 04:33 no alarm (sleeping mix), a "remix" of John Cage's 4'33. Confused the heck out of me when I first got the album, but got a good chuckle when I later learned about the original. Also, uh... Scattered Rose's album version definitely isn't supposed to sound like that.

[@nori1316]

Exactly what i needed, thanks!

[@ampersand64]

Great video! I didn't know there was so much history to BMS music, and I'd love to hear more. Especially about the likes of t+paz or any other artist known for hardcore. EDIT: I'm dumb you made a t+pazolite video I'll go watch that now. My favorite Sakuzyo track is Suiren, because he really flexes his composition skills in a 9 minute classical song.

[@rinnythe16th]

Thanks man! My tpaz one is much lower quality since its my first vid tbf, so I do hope to remaster it some day once I've made more haha. Also just listened to Suiren; amazing piece, and love the little snippets of other classical songs in it

[@L0tch]

You deserve 1000000 subs my guy

[@mystak3n]

I finally found where the rest of Timotainment’s cube facts went

[@chakko3998]

someone called him Mr.Delete lol

[@rinnythe16th]

Yeah it's one of his most common names. Its pretty cool tbh lool

[@anotherguy3554]

we really need a dedication album with that title rn haha

[@Nazrininator]

I enjoy your videos! Can you do void one day? He's one of my favorite artists.

[@deceptivecompactmemoryseal610]

Yah gotta do Laur!

[@rinnythe16th]

Will look into it 👀

[@kingstonlovely7404]

I only found out about sakuzyo due to a certain tophatted squirrel called fargo

[@Jbesed]

I got and idea for the next artist, what about leaf? I don't much about him and I have not found much of his songs

[@rinnythe16th]

Yeah LeaF is a very highly requested one... they'll be soon :)

[@kurokaslana6378]

I knew him through PANDORA PARADOXXX in maimai 😃

[@diaquallo]

I wanna learn about his music btw

[@unknownceres5714]

crazy how axion is still the best song ever made

[@erniebarguckle]

17:30 isn’t it japanese and not chinese :o

[@erniebarguckle]

Or is this torolabo guy chinese

[@rinnythe16th]

Im actually not sure if torolabo is chinese, or if the text is actually chinese, but I did translate in both Chinese and Japanese and they gave the same meaning!

[@erniebarguckle]

@@rinnythe16th oh cool

[@CraftH]

Kanji is part of the chinese and japanese writing system so that's why it translated to both languages btw

[@saijokaoji]

BRO I'M 13 AND THE BEST SONG I MAKE IS SHIT IN COMPARISON TO SAKUYZO
