that's it, I'm submitting the five part suite from Star Allies
In all seriousness though, it's pretty entertaining seeing someone evaluate the music of the kirby series from an outsider perspective, especially since you're getting submitted some of the most climactic and impressive tracks. There are definitely plenty of simple, chipper songs in every game, but even those tend to carry a level of complexity and intensity to them that makes the sound of Kirby music stand out.
PLS DOOOI IT
PLEASE DO ! That is one of my absolute favorite Kirby tracks !
Yes
Our request is fulfilled.
The basic structure of most Kirby games is, with few exceptions, "everything is extremely cute until the last boss fight, at which point Kirby fights someone gone mad with godlike power and/or a nightmarish eldritch abomination"
and then christian kirbo saves the day, our lord and saviour!
This guy is correct😅 In Kirby games, that happens in about 90% of them
There’s also a second rule of Kirby where if you’re the antagonist you either become Kirby’s friend and owe him favours eternally, or he just full out kills you. Whether that be eviscerating your body, destroying your soul, sending you to Hell, or hitting you with a semi truck hard enough to punch a planet out of orbit. You shake Kirby’s hand or you suffer painfully before you stop living.
@@itsturniptime3699XD GOD OH NO I CAN SEE WHAT YOU MEAN
@itsturniptime3699 Well, in forgotten land, fecto is given a second chance eventually.
ngl, queen sectonia is one of the most morally reprehensible people kirby has ever had to face, and the fact that her boss theme is so sad, as if mourning the fact that she can't be saved at this point, is genuinely amazing
Not being able to save a character that once had good in them is one of the most tear jerking storylines you can tell, and I almost can't believe the main example I can think of is from a Kirby game
@@gatr2897 The fact that she's been aware of herself being corrupted but cannot save herself, and that the true final fight is to "put her to eternal sleep" to relieve her from pain. It really makes me sad.
@@powerpointorm8392 Even sadder in the japanese version where that description telling you to "put her to eternal sleep" is written in the first person which implies that the final battle is basically sectonia commiting suicide by cop.
Morally reprehensible?? She's *entirely* a victim bro. Her only mistake was trusting that her best friend got her a nice gift (which he STOLE) that wouldn't corrupt her soul. Taranza is a simp that wasn't even corrupted by anything (save for his twitch sub) when he assaulted a bunch of Waddle Dees, kidnapped Dedede and forced him to fight his friend against his will. He even implies that doing that was his plan when he says that HE saw through the plan of the Floralians, and seemed pretty gung-ho about the whole world domination bit until the second he found out the girl he was simping for was career first.
@@victoriapulcifer6218 bait used to be believable
A beautiful song for one of the most tragic characters of Kirby.
Sectonia was originally a kindhearted queen, who loved and was loved, but one day, she received a mirror from her best friend Taranza. However, what none of them knew was that the mirror was cursed. As Sectonia looked into it, with time, she changed. She turned cruel and egotistical. She became obsessed with beauty. She changed her own appearance. She conquered the sky and planned to conquer the rest of the world, enslaving everyone. And Taranza, all the while, followed her, blinded by love.
In any story, this would end with the queen being freed of the curse, the mirror destroyed, and everyone would live happily ever after.
Not here... With no way to bring her back, her mind lost to madness, the queen is given her eternal beauty sleep under the moonlight, and canonically, the mirror is left where it is, intact. And the worst part, Taranza, betrayed by Sectonia, his eyes opened to her madness, is forced to help in putting her down.
Yep, that's from a cute and happy-go-lucky Kirby game.
Pink puffball games do be either tragic or lovecraftian. Sometimes both
I dunno, I see Max Profitt Haltmann as a more tragic character.
@@hamdepaf6686 It's hard for me to tell which one is the most tragic.
@@lucar1154 I mean they have fairly similar tragedies, but the reason I think Haltmann's character is more tragic are:
That his decent into madness began for selfless reasons.
That it wasn't some evil force that corrupted him, but an unfinished and faulty program which robs him of his emotions and he of it's good purpose. (Basically it's more tragic due to how preventable the whole thing was)
That there was still something of him left that recognised Susie.
That Susie's reckless actions pretty directly lead to the complete erasure of Haltmann dooming him completely.
Was about to say "how gruesome his death is", but yea Sectonia got that covered as well.
More like the mirror was a prison that made it cursed.
Had to drop _everything_ the moment I saw this in my sub feed, LOL
God, Moonstruck Blossom still makes me teary to this day- it plays for the character Queen Sectonia, who I was CRAZY about for YEARS after this game came out, bc she's a really tragic character-- an beautiful insect queen who was driven mad with vanity after staring into an almost-certainly-cursed-as-all-getout mirror; the main antagonistic force throughout the game is her _"partner",_ a princely fellow named Taranza who is obviously head-over-heels for her, and there's a significant amount of subtext that suggests he's only doing what he does in a vain attempt to free her from her corruption... but by the time you come face to face with her, she's already too far gone and you have no choice but to put her down. Even in future games where Taranza appears, it's painfully obvious he still hasn't gotten over her and is tortured by it
I love that main vocal instrument they chose- it's easy to imagine it as, like... Sectonia's last, wistful & resigned sighs, like the music itself presents one last glimpse at the remaining vestiges of her sanity, sadly singing in melancholic mourning
I personally always imagined it as her singing the song itself, and I think it wraps it all into a beautiful, tragic bow. Honestly, the backstory to Triple Deluxe has to be one of the saddest stories in the series, only rivaled by Robobot.
Also, one of the SADDEST parts of the game is in the original Japanese; in one of the pause screens that give lore, and instead of it being from third person, it's from Sectonia herself, and the final line is heartbreaking. "Before dawn breaks, bring me... eternal sleep.."
you can probably guess why that was changed in the US.
Kirby lore is a bit bonkers.
Also the fact that he HELPS kirby in the fight to stop his queen.
I'm very aware of Kirby lore, yet I can't help but be surprised every time I'm reminded of some of these storylines XD
"sounds like a touhou song all of a sudden" funny enough theres this one quiz thats like "is this the title of a touhou or kirby song" and it's really difficult lmao
Holy shit it's real. THEY USE THE EXACT SAME NAMING SCHEME. WTF
Sectonia is a very tragic character, and that's represented incredibly well in her boss theme. Once a benevolent ruler, she became corrupted by a dark and cursed mirror given to her by her lover (who didn't know what the mirror did, of course), and she slowly became a vanity-obsessed and power-hungry tyrant, attempting to turn everything in her kingdom to match her own twisted perception of "beauty". The form you first see her in is not even her original form; she changed her own appearance to something that was more "beautiful" in her eyes.
So Kirby fights her, and her former lover helps him destroy her. But that's not the end of it. Sectonia comes back, losing the last bit of sanity she had left along with any lingering memories of who she used to be. The only thing that can be done for her now is to give her the beauty sleep she so maddeningly desires.
As for composers, the series has two major composers, Jun Ishikawa which started from the first game, Kirby's Dream Land in 1992, and Hirokazu Ando, who is Lead Sound composer, starting from the second game, Kirby's Adventure in 1993. These two have been the sole composers for the mainline Kirby games (Except Amazing Mirror and Squeak Squad) up until Star Allies in 2018 where they started bringing on new composers. Moonstruck Blossom and Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit were Hirokazu Ando, while Gourmet Race is composed by Jun Ishikawa.
It's so insane that Ishikawa and Ando have made Kirby music for a solid 3 decades, they're goddamn beasts
Thank you.
Hirokazu Ando.
The name that i need remember for making the best music that i have ever heard.
Jun Ishikawa fancam
In regards to the title, it just got translated officially in two different ways for some reason. It seems like Fatal Blooms in Moonlight is the one they're officially sticking with, but fans like Moonstruck Blossom a lot more. The Japanese title of the song means "Madness's Flower, Water's Moon", a pun on the Japanese idiom "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" which refers to beautiful things that can't be attained/aren't real, like a flower reflected in a mirror or the moon reflected in water. As for Eternal Dream, that is its name in English and Japanese.
I mentioned earlier a part 2 to Moonstruck Blossom called The World to Win, in Japanese, that song is titled "Battle of Souls for this Star/Planet".
I definitely suggest C-R-O-W-N-E-D next. It’s from Kirby: Return to Dreamland, and is honestly my fav game along with Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Uhhh... and please also the final boss from the magolor epilogue
I love the excitement that Kirby gets whenever it shows up on your channel, it's well-deserved
I like how I can tell he watched your upload of it
Holy crap!
This is my first time hearing this arrangement and it's truly incredible.
Kirby songs are NUTS.
Queen Sectonia is quite cool, albeit mellow in this phase, as she reflects ethereal, static yet very living, beauty. Personally, I also recommend the previous form's theme too, Dirty & Beauty, it's blood pumping on that one.
Glad you get to see you dig the 3DS games as well!
As usual. The final form theme overshadows the previous theme that's a banger. Just like" One Winged Angel" from FF7 overshadowed" Birth of a God"...
Kirby music is legitimately always a good time. Glad you listened to this one!
I'm surprised to see Moonstruck Blossom coming first before Dirty and Beauty, but I'm not complaining as I love this theme all the same. Moonstruck is such a beautiful piece and wraps up sectonia well, although I do love the energy of Dirty and Beauty a little more so I'm excited for if that one pops up in the future. Also like I've always been a huge kirby fan but I had no idea a vocal track of Moonstruck existed and my god that was great.
It's really funny that you said it sounded like Touhou cuz Kirby and Touhou get compared a lot for all kinds of similarities, including how they're both series with adorable characters but with dark stories, and the music is also similar both in the actual sound and in the music titles. There's actually an online quiz where you are given names of Kirby and Touhou songs and have to guess if it's from Kirby or from Touhou lmao. Last time I did it I got like 75%
That quiz really cheated putting the literal Japanese translation of Fatal Blooms in Moonlight
My favorite part of that quiz is that they decided to include "9.3 billion in anguish" as one of the "songs", it's name is incredibly unfitting for both series and it's secretly not even a real song, it's just the sounds the dedede clones make after you defeat them.
what. @@Emmariscobar
@@TopOfAllWorlds The song quiz we're talking about includes a glorified sound effect that happens to have an incredibly weird name that sounds slightly too angsty to be a Touhou song and *way* too angsty to be a Kirby song.
Kirby series is secretly about an eldritch abomination, slowly picking off its competition.
Not really picking off competition. But, these abominations keep either stealing his cake or interrupting his Sunday nap. I was a person who likes food and sleep, I wouldn't let that slide too.
I'd never heard that arrangement, holy damn... that's insane voice control !
The 25th anniversary memorial album is an official album released by HAL and their amazing music team. The 25th anniversary album was the beginning of a seemingly new trend of anniversary music events and albums. The 25th anniversary was also accompanied by merchandise, events at the Kirby Café(s) in Japan, and a live orchestra concert (moonstruck blossom also was included in it). The 30th anniversary also had similar events and a live performance music festival in Japan and was a free event streamed online. (Again moonstruck blossom was included, I recommend listening to it as well!)
HAL Laboratory is separate from Nintendo (at least concerning production and marketing) so the Kirby series has a lot more resources to use and is loved greatly by its developers.
Fun fact: A few of the modern games also have Japan exclusive bonus albums that release alongside their respective game. And the Kirby Café also has 2 albums called “Sounds of the Kirby Café” that play remixed OSTs in the actual restaurant.
i don't know if i'm too late to be relevant, but the second piece was arranged by a very talented up-and-coming kirby composer named Megumi Ohara, who also worked on the fantastic kirby and the rainbow curse and kirby battle royale. the vocalist is Oriko Takahashi, who is a professional soprano and has recorded for many famous japanese productions. most relevant, she sang on the super smash bros. brawl main theme!
Awesome
This song is my favorite Kirby final boss theme it is so emotional and beautiful a constant reminder that no matter how hard you try you can’t save her😭 R.I.P Queen Sectonia
How does Kirby music make me cry? That second piece, Eternal Dream to me tells the entire story of Sectonia and Taranza. Forever separated.
there is a video that has all the kirby boss themes over the years on it, its amazing to see some of the progressively more elaborated versions on tracks like dedede's theme
would personally recommend the theme of waxing and waning moon masked dedede and meta knight,
but to appreciate those you need to listen to the dedede theme and the revenge of meta knight theme independantly first
i think itreally would be interesting for you to plan a video for the full list of kirby boss music, Because fundamentally kirby music is iterative, a lot of enemies or characters return in some form with updated tracks based on older tracks. if a new boss enemy is in some way related to an enemy from a different game they will put hints of the older game's music themes back into the new boss's theme. waxing and waning moon mask's theme is a combined theme of almost all bos music versions of dedede and meta knights themes for instance, And they even go all out in silly spin off game titles.
honestly i cannot describe how interesting it is to listen to kirby music themes in chronological order
@@nathanperquin9910 All of this 100%!!! The Kirby franchise in general loves paying respect to all of its history, and the music is no exception. One thing they do a lot that I love is take older themes and add news sections to them to keep them up to date (King Dedede's theme, Green Greens, and the Mint Leaf theme from the first game are the best examples of this)
Moonstruck Blossom is so freaking good, I love it so much. It's my favourite song from all of Kirby
If there is always one thing consistent with Kirby, the climax of the games will always be epic!
Triple Deluxe is a great 3DS game that brought in a lot of Kirby fans. Like every other game, it has an amazing ost.
Also btw, this song is a remix of the main boss theme, which is still my absolute favorite boss theme in the series.
Praying for more Kirby track reactions soon.
Yes... This... NOW GO REACT TO THE ENTIRE SUITE: THE STAR CONQUERING TRAVELER
Also every part I wanted to just mention. Also, it would have been better if like Jess knew about the plot of Triple Deluxe and also what the lyrics say in Eternal Dream says.
2:09... I mean, there ie even this Touhou music or Kirby music quiz. Which gotta say, the titles really messed me up.
3:09 Shoutouts to Hirokazu Ando for composing this music.
3:33 It's not there is almost no limit... there is NO limit
5:35. It's technicaly 31 years now
5:48 Thank you. As a Kirby fan, I appriciate that.
6:33 OMGGUYSHECLAPPEDHEAPPROVEDKIRBYMUSICLETSGOO
7:09 I agree tbh
9:20 After Listening
14:43 OKAY I'LL TRY
Bro Kirby music and lore goes hard
Holy shit. More Kirby. Thank you thank you thank you
Someone needs to submit all 3(4) phases of star dream
That vocal track made me tear up a little.
If you enjoyed this, then you definitely have to listen to Mind in the PROGRAM from kirby planet robobot. It is absolutely one of the best in the series.
Though eventually, we'll get to Star Conquering Traveller, which is similar to Dancing Mad in how many parts there are.
Another video where Kirby music goes hard for no reason
To roughly summarize the context for this music, Queen Sectonia is the antagonist of Kirby Triple Deluxe. Shes the tyrannical queen of a kingdom in the skies, but she was once a gentle soul like her trusted partner Taranza. Taranza had feelings for Sectonia, so to impress her he presented her with an object called the Dimensional Mirror, which was actually the main subject of a previous game. This is important because at the end of that game, a great evil (Dark Meta Knight) was sealed within the mirror and had been festering. Sectonia looking into the mirror slowly caused her to be corrupted by Dark Meta Knights evil until she became what she is during the game. She decides shes going to take over Dreamland and sends Taranza to capture Dreamlands hero, so he goes down and mistakes Dedede for that hero, so Kirby gives chase and eventually manages to get Dedede back. At this point Taranza realizes what they're doing is wrong, and that something is wrong with Sectonia, and there's no way for things to go back to normal, so he teams up with Kirby and Dedede to end her life. This music is the theme to that boss battle
Took me a while to realize that Moonstruck Blossom is a stronger, more intense version of Bouncing Boss Battle (the main boss theme in Trip D)
Finally kirby!!! Love this song, it plays during the final boss fight which is a really tragic one, so, it makes sense that it's both slow and beautiful as that's what the villain was looking for, to be beautiful, although she ended up becoming a monster that not even her best friend could keep being by her side.
As a Murder Drones fan, I now know 2 sad epic songs named "Eternal Dream"
I recommend listening to Astral Birth Void's theme song (Sparkling Star is it's other name). It has a sad piano version of Green Greens, which is wicked heavy once you learn the lore behind void
I think another song from Kirby that you should listen to is either Sparkling Star from Star Allies, or C.R.O.W.N.E.D from Return To Dreamland
Hell yea! Kirby is back, baby!
I hope to god ppl are spamming Galacta Knight and Morpho Knight themes on the requests man
Big Suggest for a good single video set of kirby songs:
VS. Star Dream - Kirby Planet Robobot
Intermezzo Without a Leader - Kirby Planet Robobot
Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection - Kirby Planet Robobot
I'm sooooo waiting for Galacta Knight to show up now.
Now we just need him to listen to mind in a PROGRAM and C.R.O.W.N.E.D.
YES! This is my favorite song from Kirby!
02 or Miracle Matter from Kirby 64 are also really good.
I used to dislike this theme back when I was a kid playing triple deluxe, but it's grown on me more and more over time until now I'm blown away by it.
Kirby ends someone's life to this song. :)
CROWNED NEXTTTT FROM KIRBY
YOOOOOOOOO Fatal Blooms In Moonlight is my favorite!!
Kirby final boss music goes hard
This is phase 2 of a song that might be in your request list "Dirty and Beauty"
Yeah I love this song!
ah man, dirty and beauty (phase 1 of this boss) should have been selected, considering how heavy the guitar goes in this one...
DO MORE KIRBY
I absolutely love this song!
kirby is the proof that the only way to beat an eldritch abomination is another eldritch abomination that is strangely attached to sweets
XD Truly so
"there's been 30 years of Kirby?!" Me the fuck too man
I want to note, there's a theme called "The World to Win" in this game that's basically a Part 2 to Moonstruck Blossom. There's also an album remix called "Midnight Moonlight (Forever-Sleeping Flower)" which is a remix medley of Moonstruck Blossom and The World to Win that I think is the best version of these two themes.
And in Star allies they did yet another medley of these songs + some more :)
Let's Play of Kirby when? (> ^_^)>
A reoccurring leitmotif in Kirby music is what’s known among the fanbase as the “Green Greens” leitmotif.
Green Greens is the first level in the first Kirby game, and its main melody has been included in almost every final boss theme since Kirby’s Return to Dreamland, which came out on the Wii in 2011.
This brings me back to the reaction of Big Arms from Sonic 3/Generations, one of my top-top favourite game series where Jesse just listens to it and goes _"This is the music I do this for."_
The difference being I never heard the operatic mix of this song, and it gave me *_chills,_* so many _chills!_
Btw the 25th Anniversary remixes were just a standalone thing they released, I remember listening to some on the Wii U eShop. And yes, there have been multiple composers across the series, in the two latest releases the sound test changes colours according to who composed the track you're currently listening to.
HAL Laboratory (the Kirby dev team) just pours their heart and soul into these songs, they make *sure* the music is memorable, _especially_ for final bosses.
Something about Kirby music brings an attraction to how its presented as you play through the game. You would start off on an adventure to retrieve your stolen cheesecake from the big bad with jolly upbeat soundtrack in the beginning of the game and you have fun. Then you find the cheesecake to then find out that a bigger bad is planning to take over the planet with dark powers and the music goes to an epic adventure where it still retains a joyous aspect with fun but also an element of danger and from there it goes up. Kirby is just wild and fun game especially just listening to the final boss themes that just become bangers out of nowhere 😂
Love this track ❤️❤️. A more melancholic and elegant boss fight 🌸.
Kirby is such a good series HAL and there Composers they always put so much love and care. Kirby now has four composers now. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have an amazing year and God bless you all.
You know what’s funny about you saying tohou some kirby bosses literally feel tohou-ish(bullet hell like)
For anyone watching this who isnt familiar with it, i highly recommend watching the mashup "F-L-O-R-O", which is a mashup of this song and The Ultimate Show from Super Paper Mario. Its one of the strangest yet best sounding mashups ive ever heard
You should listen "Masked Dedede" from Kirby triple deluxe
final comment on its own, i think this boss theme is made up out of its own elements, but then intermingled are themes from throughout the game, kind of to represent the clash between kirby and said boss
Best Kirby Theme!
This was actually my first kirby game!
I am a mega Kirby meat rider love this guy I know every thing about Kirby also first Kirby game I ever bought best one
There's so much to listen to that you might as well listen a fan medley of all the boss themes of kirby. Comes with visual reference as well, but the music might be too modified, just a 20 minute sneek peek.
Fun Fact: This is actually a remix of the generic boss theme from this game "Bouncing Boss Battle" but the different pacing and instruments makes it into a completely different song
YES MORE KIRBYYYYYY
LET'S GO BOIZ, GET THOSE KIRBY REQUESTS IN (WITH ARRANGEMENTS IF POSSIBLE!)
There's a couple of parts of the first song that remind me a little of Kirby's Air Ride, interesting. I wonder if it's still Ishikawa Jun, who's done most of Kirby music throughout the series.
The second one gave me big Amdapor vibes, from FFXIV. This makes me realise I really need to play the modern Kirby games, there's probably a ton I've missed out on since Epic Yarn.
Kirby music is never what you expect from looking at the game, astral void to roar of dedede, it's also never what you expect when you know the series well
Except for green greens, always expect green greens
He needs to listen to the 5 phases of Program!
"Musical fantasy" that's the perfect way to describe it. With a hint of electronic lol
2:35 "I don't know if I should me moving my head, or like-".
Crying, you should be crying
Such an emotional ost for a boss battle. Its like we are crying for the boss who we mercifully kill.
2:08 Funny you make that comparison because someone called "mihou miboi" already made a touhou remix of this song, it's pretty good.
let's go, Kirby sweep
Fun fact, this is composed using the kirby 64 soundfont from what I've been told.
Got an obscure banger for ya. Outlands final boss theme, The Sisters. Keep jammin dude.
I’d you do more Kirby. I might just have to subscribe
