Sawano content in this day and age? HELL YEAHH Actually, Sawano and Mika stopped working together sometime around 2016 (I may be wrong abt exact year) and she now works solo, and when Sawano plays songs she originally sang for, another singer performs it nowadays Mpi is a staple in Sawano's works up to this day, it's one of the main male singers Sawano works with, and one of lyrics writers too If I may suggest more Sawano works: "The Call to Arms" is very unique "Melancholia" - my fav Sawano song ever "aLIEz" - an absolute classic "oi" - is especially great when you take a look at the lyrics "ThreeFiveNineFourε" - is a very obscure gem and "Blumenkranz" - because it's just... peak there's so many more, but I can't possibly write down half of my playlist in here, nor do I know which the copyright gods allow for the wide spaces, but I'll be happy just to see more Sawano recognition, especially towards his underrated pieces big thanks for the amazing vid!! the entire Xenoblade X OST is peak, glad to see it being noticed

I wrote a drum part for Blumenkranz like 5 years ago. Never did anything with it, but basically added a war drum aesthetic to the song

@@CatharsisYTooohh that sounds cool 👀

[@Yotsuki10400]

Mecha and Sawano the best combo

[@Nirion2206]

Great analysis, as always. Very cool song. Sounds as straight pop song of some kind, as you said. Kinda unusual for games OSTs, actually. Cool to hear it from time to time. In any case, as recommendation - "Color your night" from Persona 3 Reload.

This was the battle theme for the XCX version of unique monsters known as Tyrants. Was also featured in XC2 in their DLC for reasons

[@Kirusei]

So Hiroyuki Sawano actually posted in his blog a some time ago that he feels his work on Xenoblade X ended up forming the basis for his sound on all his soundtracks afterwards.

Great song, i also recommend to give "The Key We've Lost" a listen as well. Xenoblade Chronicles X has some of the best and unique videogame soundtracks imo. I love Hiroyuki Sawano, such a legend.
