Utada Hikaru - First Love (OLD VIDEO)

[@fierypiano]

If there are enough requests I will transcribe this. A thump up counts as 1 request.

[@jeremyngpiano]

Why am I at this 10 year old epic video.

[@durianice]

this song brings back many memories... thanks Kyle.

[@MrAlexheyhey]

This music is so peaceful, thank you Kyle for the video!

[@hadou31shakkahou]

@kylelandry no matter what piano ur fingers play on, the piece becomes extraordinary, its like magic , even if other ppl play ur composed piece, they still lack ur magic touch

[@g0ma]

I didn't expect to hear one of my favorite Utada piano piece First Love. I'm so glad I've subscribed!

[@AnneSongcayauon]

I am so grateful to your fan that recovered this video! Tell he/she "Thanks!"

[@bugman2494]

Wow, I'm 17 at the moment and I just wished I could do what you just did. Extremely beautiful music. Great job.

[@MoogleEJA]

I smiled so hard when I saw this in your uploads box on my homepage :)

[@rachieexluvx3]

I would not have expected you to play a cover of this song, you amaze me every single time.

[@bebe4choco]

I love this!!! Makes me feel like watching the drama all over again... Takki was amazing, Utada is freaking sensational, and u r brilliantly talented!!! Top five for sure!!!

[@Ssj7Crono]

I actually remember when Kyle first posted this back in 2007. Whoever recovered this is awesome!

[@dgpkira9440]

I made it 35 seconds into a different video when they played a piano part that sounded similar to the first four measures of this and I had to go on a freaking hunt to find what song nostalgia just hit me in the head with, and now I'm not crying, you are....

[@sodaxcandy08]

love this, thx for sharing good music with us kyle

[@rawrkitteh94]

It sounds so lovely! Even if you were seventeen back then, it doesn't change the fact that you still are a wonderful pianist !

[@Hypefury1212]

Didn't know kyle was into Utada like this. i love playing her songs on piano. they all sound great. i kind of got excited when i seen him do another Utada Hikaru piece. love them.

[@PyroVK]

i never knew u cover'd this song! BoA is my FAVORITE popstar so this makes me so so happy :D

[@dhcrazy333]

Being a 17 year old pianist, I still wish I played as beautifully as you did.

[@Daviysoh]

Beautiful playing as always.

[@Roxann308]

quite lovely....yes - your playing was different then than now...but not in technical ability so much as a little more idealistic, a certain innocence and sweetness in your own thoughts about love which translated very openly in this piece. You played this at the right time in your life...lends transparency to the poetry of it.

[@TheRahyah]

Legendary playing skills Kyle. Truly the best piano player

[@Monokuroboo24]

WOW...listening to this is way better than listening to any other versions :) Great job

[@Carlitto314]

@kylelandry Perhaps you're right, but you are awesome at playing those famous theme songs and i love that you add the sheets so we can play your songs as well. really awesome channel man! :)

[@Sabivee]

I love this song, and this is beautiful

[@JasmineFairy135]

so beautiful.. makes you want to cry. * singing along slowly*

[@jtxp]

you should do a remake of this ! sounds so beautiful ^^

[@StasisCube]

hearing this song kind of makes me think of what it would be like to be old and looking back on those happy times when you were young-- or something similar.

[@ChannelleCooper]

This is beautiful. 17, huh? Makes this even more awesome!

[@piercingshot53]

Beautiful! This is probably my favorite original!

[@thetrueFreya]

I can already notice you've improved much since then (and honestly, you were amazing back then as well haha)

[@Blazerdsx]

I think in the span of 4 years, the only thing that's changed was the video quality. the piano playing is still just as good

[@thesakuracard]

Wow I always wondered if Kyle had done a cover on this song. I love it! :)

[@smile740]

Beautiful...

[@AngelPuppetslayer]

Dang, I swear I will learn this through watching you again and again...I must!

[@shoeboxx93]

@kylelandry totally agreed because i played moonlight sonata on my digital gpiano and compared it to the way i played on a actually baby grand and omg the difference is humbling

[@TheCherryThing]

Awesome, as usual.

[@animar1915]

Amazing as always Kyle! Even if it is four years old

[@syniistrhavok]

@keetner To be honest, that's how most of her more famous works are. Simple and Clean/Hikari, Final Distance, and First Love all have that very distinct and nostalgic sound to them.

[@chris110012]

@thepianoaddict Nah it's just because he's so much better now than he was when he was 17, which was still pretty damn good. I still want to see an updated version of first love for comparison!! Love it.

[@CrazeDxAzN]

4 years ago and ur that good!

[@TheRandomPianoSong]

At this moment - a piano prodigy was born. =D

[@xiaodai125]

very nice cover~~~

[@meeraagoold]

beautiful

[@DestinyAwakens]

WOW! I love Utada Hikaru!!!!!! Do you play Kingdom Hearts? I do! I love those games!!

[@alaninnh]

You were amazing then, and you're even more amazing now.

[@foamy11]

@kylelandry I understand that Beethoven is not meant to be played on a digital piano, but what is that to stop you? I think that you should give it a go because it seems like you would enjoy it. PS: Your videos inspired me to start playing piano again. The emotional drive and earthshaking piano you play really made me want to become better. I enjoy playing piano a lot, and you reminded me of that. Thank you!

[@wulinproz]

my favourite piece

[@Draezeik]

It would be so lovely if @kylelandry covered this song

[@NotRly1337]

17 years old huh? at least i know how much you have grown

[@RoloPoops]

@Hibiscus41191 It's the first ending to Naruto It's called Wind - Akeboshi

[@KrienSama]

@Hibiscus41191 I guess it's Wind, it says in the video as well: "wind is coming soon" ;)

[@Oturan219]

When i was 15, I thought "wow, he plays so well!...he's 17? good. by the time im 17, i'll be just as good." I'm 19 now. still can't compare.

[@Arrow9100kj]

@kylelandry Nice to see you responding to your comments Kyle. Your fans love you and its great when you can show them that you appreciate their support by replying. Im sure it makes their day =)

[@AnnaC330]

This is so sincere.

[@jentjesbpei]

i miss this kyle

[@0kc1n]

Thank you to the fan who recovered this lost treasure.

[@elizakingg]

17? jesus christ you have a gift!

[@vietgurl7d4]

old or not. It's still amazing.

[@C6Xiao]

a Thankyou to the Fan, if it wasen't for him we could'nt have enjoyed one of Kyle talented Songs played on the Piano

[@peppythepivot]

Great

[@pinguwien]

Hey Kyle. Just added this to my Playlist of your Arrangements. I don't mind if you were 17, it's just a magically well played, great piece. One Question: Ever thought of playing something from Einaudi (perhaps with josh?) would be great to hear an impro of "divenire" or something. if you want some sheets, just tell me ;) Best regards

[@WobbleKun]

more recovery videos please!

[@fierypiano]

Omg I totally forgot I wanted to work on this piece!! Tell you what, I will start it right now! Tonight the first minute will be done!

[@onitsuka123]

Awesome!

[@49819d]

This is interesting. I'm listening to 1911 piano music with Kyle playing the piano.

[@chris110012]

You should do another improv of the same piece for your next vid so we can get a good comparison of you back then and you now. :D

[@vanishingmoon1]

I found myself singing along to this, it's just that beautiful..... lol @ 1911

[@JAD0892]

If somebody transcribed this version it would be amazing. I love this song.

[@ruruCC]

Very good job, btw what song is the on at the end of the video?

[@dancerofthenight]

*Cries tears of joy* I love this song

[@piercingshot53]

Beautiful. Love it. A+. I can't help but see the face of my first love as I listen to this. (Btw, my first love is still my love) ;)

[@AngeliqueNade]

Ah man, I hate my speakers. It's not sounding too great this round for me to hear it. Then again, this song is supposed to be soft~ I managed to hear a few notes. Very lovely~

[@xxxprincexliz]

beautiful song. couldnt remeber when i first heard it, but i certainly do remeber it when i hear you play :)

[@lysolmax]

kyle, i miss you... why no new videos for so long? =(

[@thepianoaddict]

@kylelandry ohw ok :P I play 4 and a half years now. I think I'm going to play some of the songs you played too. thanks for the reply. =D

[@fierypiano]

@kylelandry Great work Kyle, I just emailed you about the transcribing thing. Btw when are you going to upload my sheet of You Raise Me Up on your website?

[@ThisIsAmii]

Wow. This is amazing :3

[@FinaChan]

i love it T__T so beautiful

[@Hibiscus41191]

@superchickenx Thanks! Naruto was the word I couldn't think of.

[@ChoskarChulian]

Atleast I tried to, had too add you as a friend first! :D

[@god77992003]

i watched this video in 2007 bring back all the memory 2007 2008

[@vietgurl7d4]

@suddenfart1 Wind from Akeboshi; Naruto :o It even said it in the video at the end

[@dancerofthenight]

@kylelandry Could you play a disney medley?? :)

[@JABUUTY671]

I wonder if kyle listened to Journey previously because I felt "Dont Stop Believing" at 1:16.

[@bkordel]

i'm interested to know if u yourself can see a difference in your play-style compared to now. seeing as how u were 17 and all, i can imagine you've improved quite a bit since then :P

[@Sgi07102010]

AMAZING !!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

[@JobyZhang]

Do you still have the sheets for it? :o if you do, i'd be really happy if you could scan them and upload them :) btw, lovely video!

[@Zexion04]

Young kyle already was a god ^^

[@siuol0002]

four year ago..you said, your playing wasn't the same. can you play a first love 2011 version? pleaseeeeee...

[@TheShadowSimba10]

Add "&vinyage=1911" (without "") to the end of the url and you'll be able to see what 1911 is, for those who aren't in America, basically.

[@wwyk1993]

@knightsintodreams Without his college, he wouldn't be the Kyle you see today.

[@Bidon45]

@syniistrhavok Yeah, its even more difficult than making a fuller sounding piano piece IMO - to make a song that can really move someone with just a simple melody, needs to be incredibly refined.

[@Viola_Gaymer]

@piano3479 Thank you! I'm actually not familiar with the music from Naruto, let alone have not seen the series...

[@minja234]

Kyle, I think you ouvld work wonders with the Main Theme from Gunslinger Girl II Teatrino. Just a thought.

[@000gabu000]

What's the song in the end of the video called? I recognize it from somewhere...

[@vanstah]

Kyle Landry, you are my First Love.

[@Tieslack]

Kyle, you should remake this with a violin joining you.

[@thepianoaddict]

@horekar actually I didn't say that... that was on another video I realize. wow I write to many comments I can't keep track of them xD

[@IronbatmanLIVE]

@MisswinKi I think it's "Simple & Clean" ;D get it haha

[@Faramsisimo]

i've been searching those sheets for years!! will you be kind and tell me where I can find them? =)
