The Sun Rises (Okami) - GaMetal Remix

[@Autumnityyyy]

After 18 years... she's finally coming back...

[@kimghoul360]

OKAMI is back, baby!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@silverwinterwolf2064]

And with the sun rising, she is reborn!

"Oh, Johnny Atma. Origin of all that is Metal, and Father to the Riffs."

[@saranavarro1859]

Hear our prayers! Heed our call! And grant us your electric metal might! 🙏

[@ChrisStriker]

Gentlemen... She's finally back!! And she didn't come alone! Capcom finally remembered that it had other IP's

[@giuseppevisconti3284]

And She was announced with this same song. What a year to live in

[@geistgrace6452]

A case of this isn't the Final boss' theme. This Is YOUR theme. YOU are the unstoppable force.

[@AaronGanaron]

Yami: "Finally, I am victorious-- Why do I hear boss music?"

[@BingBangPoe]

_"If you pray with all your heart maybe the sun will cheer up and show itself once again, lightning our world with its heavenly glow! After all, the best thing about the great god Amaterasu is that happy-go-lucky spirit! Right, Ammy? Answer if you can hear me, ya big furball!"_ *- Wandering Artist Issun*

Issun, being pretty damn prophetic rn 😂

This of course popped up in my recommended today. Peak.

[@DragonSoul621]

Amy is back, we are so back, praise the sun, praise this riff.

[@JimGio]

Ah man, so yeah what it’s been like 7 years since I first started requesting this song? Hard to believe, and even harder to believe that it finally exists. There’s a lot I *could* say but I feel maybe it’s best to leave it at a simple thank you. This was a really popular request back in 2015, it was incredibly common alongside songs like Zanza and Serpent Devouring the Horizon. I grew impatient waiting for this song and seeing it fall further and further back into obscurity, and I decided to rally some people on the Discord to make some noise for this one. Even if we basically annoyed Jonny into submission, I’m still kinda amazed it worked. Okami is a masterpiece, and replaying it for the first time in a decade for this video made me remember that. I thank you for that opportunity. I cant thank you enough for this cover, this absolutely beautiful and magnificent cover. Thank you, Jonny. I’d love to see you return to the series someday, but for now, the sun has risen! EDIT: Well hello there again. Think we both know what you're doing here.

[@JonnyAtma]

No problem Starblax! Thank you for your help with the video and your support all these years! (And no worries, no one annoyed me 😅)

[@Jackoftrades3o9]

Gives me hope for Musashi Legend. I'll be asking for several years more but it's ok. Talent like Atma is worth the wait

[@PhantomTimez]

WE'RE SO BACK

[@thedom2753]

Yami: "Why do I hear boss music?"

[@efad3215]

Shared braincell my dude.

[@Fluttersniper]

“And why isn’t it MY boss music?!” 😱

[@ChrisStriker]

​@@Fluttersniper The funny thing is that in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom (The best traditional fighting game on Wii and quite underrated by the way), Yami acts as the final boss in that game and in its 3rd phase (Since he has 3 phases ) Yami's theme is precisely The Sun Rises

[@michaellevin2861]

Welcome back, Amaterasu.

[@SuperPlaytendo]

THE SUN RISES ONCE MORE!

[@darkseahunter]

I'd been playing Okami for my parents - we sit down at the couch for about an hour every week and they watch me play - for the last year almost, and just this week we finished the game, so this timing couldn't possibly be any better. I knew this song was coming and it would always bring tears to my eyes just hearing it, so the leadup to the final battle absolutely wrecked me and I couldn't hold back the tears, and in front of my parents, no less. Love this song, love what you've done with it, and keep up the good work!

[@lucasbittencourtnogueira5858]

when Reset plays I teared up

[@dreamercross]

@@lucasbittencourtnogueira5858 its a shame the later release of the game removed reset from the game. it was such an experience hearing the vocal version of the song used in the prayers scene and then seeing clips of the long long journey you had experienced

[@Tremendouz]

​@@dreamercross the vocal version was never used during the cutscene, only during credits. But yeah, it's a shame they had to remove it due to some copyright/licensing issues

[@Tremendouz]

​@@dreamercross and now I realize you were referring to the credits in the first place. My bad

[@dreamercross]

@@Tremendouz no worries, I got confused myself when I reread my comment just now

[@GanyuSimpingDegenerate]

Everytime Okami is brought up someone always mentions this song and for good reason

[@carolinatgallo]

Depois de 18 anos, ela voltou, a Ammy voltou, eu vou chorar! ❤🎉

[@Dia-xm4ov]

I had one of the worst years of my life so far, so I listened to Final Hours w/Bells on New Year's Eve and then switched to this at midnight. Felt amazing.

[@bloodclaw123]

This song has been in my "top 10 video game songs" for years. One of the best final boss fights for arguably one of the best video games ever made. So glad to hear a Gametal version.

[@matthewbankey5547]

Sit, Ammy, sit. Now raise the sun. …Good girl! …I know nothing about Ōkami, I just know Amaterasu is an adorable white wolf doggie. :3

[@tibik.8407]

Well, that dog you just commended to sit is the literal primordial goddes of the sun and all that is good in the japaneses mythology, aka Amaterasu, so....

[@helloidharbl6753]

Sit Boo-boo sit! Good dog. *woof*

[@DoctorTex]

@@tibik.8407 Eh, she'd love it.

Go play it, it’s like on EVERY console, and is amazing! If this remix didn’t already convince you.

[@le_chef-Klown]

@@alexisisherenow6725 indeed, it is my 2nd favorite game right behind shovel knight specter of torment.

[@TheShySiren]

SHE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@not-crown]

I CANNOT EXPLAIN IN WORDS HOW GRATEFUL I AM THAT AN OKAMI COVER HAS FINALLY BEEN MADE

[@okami6399]

That was so phenomenal, Okami has always been my favorite video game probably of all time (and yes, it’s my go to username when I can’t think of anything else) and every rendition I hear of Rising Sun makes me smile. 8Bit, with lyrics, a metal version. It’s so nostalgic to hear, I remember being so terrified even before leaving Kamiki Village back in the day due to hearing Orachi’s roars in the distance and being like “nah I don’t like that” as a child playing the Wii versuon. Beating Yami for the first time was such an adrenaline rush and I thank you so much for bringing back these memories.

[@carlyl2032]

I agree with you immensely and share the same memories. Including playing the Wii version! I played this game over so many times.

[@okami6399]

@@carlyl2032 I’ve played the Wii version so much that the game itself has gotten a bit corrupted, not too bad but there’s a particular cutscene where you get to see the face of a character for the first time and it turns out that she’s beautiful. Except the cutscene’s a bit broken now and there’s just a grey square over where her face is supposed to be.

[@NazoKG]

@@okami6399 It might just be because the Wii version is probably the buggiest version of the game out there. As a port, it's also the most limited one, they had to cut some features/content out of the Wii version for it to fit on the disc, I believe. Who knows lol, but the grey square face sounds kinda funny

[@Leet-iz2fz]

Did you know this song was also remixed as Ammy's theme in Marvel vs. Capcom 3?

[@okami6399]

@@Leet-iz2fz Yep!

[@yourlocalraccoondealer8611]

This is another one of the most impressive covers you've made, holy hell you did this masterclass of a song justice.

[@QuietFlutterShy]

I remember when I saw this first pop into my notifications 10 months ago. I... had a really scary medical emergency that left me in the hospital for weeks. I was feeling a little low that day, having been alone for a few days (fam and friends had to work and couldn't come visit which i totally understood) so I booted up my laptop and saw this video in my notifs. I remember crying when I heard it because it brought back *SO* much nostalgia. My dad took the laptop home so he could install the game so I could play it, and relive the magic so thank you Johnny. Thank you for easing my pain in one of the scariest times of my life.

[@ellyjockey6164]

OH MY GOD, YES. I believe Okami is a game that touched the hearts of many people I've met. And I believe that today, you touched the hearts of those who grew up with Okami. I haven't played Okami in forever (I don't have patience for long stories and got distracted, so I didn't know where to go or what to do.) However, the love for this game and its canine goddess is real. And if Amaterasu is real too (and I don't know how much of that is imagination), I like to think she'd smile upon the remix you made today. Amaterasu - or as Issun calls her, "Ammy" - would particularly be happy because the execution was on point. If someone had to make a metal remix of Amaterasu's theme, it would be good enough to play a tense, "cinematic" guitar. But playing it in your powerful style while *still* keeping a traditional Taishōgoto/Nagoya Harp (Shoutout to Zach D. again) to keep a little bit of Amaterasu in there? That's something else! I'm going to need to listen to this song more for a proper opinion, but right now, at least from this song alone, you made a good part of my past happy. Who knows if the sun goddess is happy, too? Thank you.

[@Firebolt193]

Anybody else here after they announced Okami II?

Yes. 🐺💐💮🏵🌺🌼

My favorite piece of VGM next to Tragic Prince from SOTN, it can never have enough remixes. Great effort with this one.

[@JordyPordy10]

Listened to this in my car on my way to work this morning and started crying because the sequel still doesn’t feel real

[@Snubster29]

Unbelievable game. Never expected to find such a great cover. Somewhat hesitant that any attempt wouldn't live up to what the track represents. Hats off man, you did a great job. The smell of flowers must be with you!

[@alexemp6201]

Totally out of the blue, but we take it! Edit: not that I expected otherwise, but this remix was godlike! Hope you do a cover of world's end valentine in the future, keep it up Jonny, your work is amazing

[@efad3215]

Heh, godlike more like goddesslike

[@mr.vanillamilkshake3]

I didn't even realise I needed this for the morning. Really great job GaMetal! PS. can't wait for the next song, be it Metal Gear, Maverick, or just some random JRPG thingy.

[@冬月小僧]

この曲は日本で行われるBGM投票会で長年上位の曲です。和風の曲を大変上手にアレンジしててすごいです！

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

I think the original song isn't purely Japanese style to begin with. It already sounded a bit metal with all the midi instruments, and a proper metal cover like this can fit right in the game if Capcom so choose.

[@冬月小僧]

@@FlameRat_YehLon It's difficult for me to define what metal music is, but it's possible that CAPCOM thought pure Japanese music wouldn't be accepted overseas. In any case, I'm glad that this song is getting a good impression outside of Japan!

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

@@冬月小僧 I'm from China and I actually played the game in Japanese. I'm just not good enough to write comment in Japanese. Anyway, I see the music working either way, authentic Japanese style or metal style, as the ending feels very sci-fi, also having a character speak English in the Japanese version probably make the use of light metal element more reasonable in such traditional looking game. Also, even though this is my opinion, it might make more sense for the English version of the game to use pure Japanese style music. The wording for the Japanese version of the game indicated that the game world isn't ancient Japan, but somewhere that look like ancient Japan, but the English version just call the game world "Nippon" and incorrectly use Yen for money. From what I can see, Capcom probably thought that oversea audiences might not know Japanese culture well enough so the English version is simplified to not cause confusion, while the original Japanese version can have a more fantasy setting and still be familiar.

[@MagicianFairy]

FINALLY THE MAN DID AN OKAMI COVER! AND IT'S AWESOME! AW IM SO GLAD.

[@bananabike279]

This ROCKS!! The Sun Rises works surprisingly well in metal form, great job!!

[@DeviDoesNothing]

And now Starb can rest easy. Banger song as always.

[@Creatively_Bored]

I remember suggesting Trap Factory and The Sun Rises all the way back in the google poll days (basically within the first few years of the old days with "Purple Jonny"). After all this time, both suggestions have finally come to fruition! Sounds so damn good.

[@moldyshishkabob]

Didn't realize this morning would be so epic... Okami will always be one of my top ten games of all time. A true testament to how gameplay and presentation (both in graphic and sound design) can trump graphical fidelity (though Okami HD is pretty rad lol). Here's to another of the greatest VGM under Jonny's belt!

[@CaptainCFalcon]

*_YOOOOOOO OKAMI?!?_* Bro this is incredible! I love Okami with all of my heart, & this cover is truly befitting of the Goddess of the Sun, best girl Amaterasu! Thank you so much Jonny!

[@shadowpheonix1751]

Admittedly I’m not the most familiar with your selection of covers (sorry lol) but this feels like one of your most unique to date, and I’m all for that. As a guitarist I’m always down for some crazy fast shredding, but the genuine emotion in these guitar lines this time around was palpable, and the taishōgoto harp really gave the cover that perfect touch. The harp at the end followed by the tapping line with all the twinkling and triumphant sounds honestly have me chills. I’d definitely consider this to be one of your best covers to date, and it also reminded me how great Ōkami and its soundtrack really are. Thanks for all the hard work you put in for us as usual Jonny!

[@almocorongo5459]

OKAMI GAMETAL?! TODAY WE FEAST

Oh.. my… OKAMI!! It’s breathtaking to see you take on a track from Okami. I myself, haven’t played the game, but I’m planning to very soon! It sounds like a fantastic game. Great cover!
