I'll keep returning to this video every now and then, and still think it has not even the slightest amount of praise and appreciation it actually deserves.
Thank you, that was wonderful to watch and listen to ; ) Beautifully played. I kept expecting to hear applause at the end of each movement! I found myself clapping in spite of myself xD. I'm amazed that you can play this music without having to refer to sheet music, you must have a brilliant mind to remember all those notes in sequence... props to Kow Otani for revealing this music to the wider world!
Wow! Heyo nomad! Not surprised to see you here! Isn't this so we'll made? I was actually in tears once the sunlit earth began. I cannot put into words how utterly brilliant this is. I aspire to be a pianist like this one day...

The Sunlit Earth made me cry both times I listened to it. When you watch that bird flying through the sky after the end of your journey, the feelings are so strong.
I feel it the same way,in every game of Fumito Ueda i cry in some place in there, and Koh Otani the creator of that and mostly this type of games, is amazing, and this guy is sharing their feelings with him, both amazing
Gravity FAN i wanna apologize for an issue mine, is Fumito ueda the owner of that sort of games, koh otani is the composer of the music. Yeah, Partner, all you said is so true, i dont know if you know that, but that is te essence of the games of Fumito ueda is create a special bond between player and the character , that is easy when you have a nice objective o an interested one, that is the purpose of that sort of games and is said by himself in the interview of Last guardian, i entirely invite all to watch it because there people dont understand that, this sort of games is in another level, dont is just for fun like all others, is smth more deep than that, is Connect With that world, all they to realize of that, if dont, well, surely Fumito ueda say:"Well, maybe you must play other games" XD, but really i appreciate that because is a people with conviction in that theme, and i understand it
I'm genuinely in awe of how he managed to make a piece like the opened way sound as good as it did on piano. I've seen many renditions of it on TH-cam but yours is definitely my favorite full version of it.
this soundtrack can put me to tears itself. the very emotion put into this piece is amazing, it takes a true appreciation for the game as a whole to come up with this. I show this ost to some of my classical music buff friends and they are blown away that it's a score to a game.
+Wil Stallmann Well the composers of old wrote for operas and dances and just background music at parties, and many of the twentieth-century classical masters wrote for films. If they were alive today you can bet some of them would be writing for games, it's just another medium. Tell them that if they're being snobs!
I imagine that you will never be able to imagine how important this video was to me. Shadow of the Colussus is the game that has touched me the most in my life and its striking soundtrack that awoke me to music. It was then that I found this video... Your spectacular arrangement and interpretation was like a light calling me to learn piano and develop as a musician. Today, living as a result of the study of music, I come back to appreciate his work, which is always very touching and exciting. Unfortunately I can only give a single like, which is definitely not able to express how grateful I am to be able to appreciate your precious arrangement of this phenomenal soundtrack from Shadow of the Colussus. Anyway... From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much!
It's my most listened to soundtrack (game or movie) ever so I would like to think that I know exactly how you feel. There are lots of really good games with equally good soundtracks. But there is something different, something special about "Shadow Of The Colossus" that isn't easily explained. Maybe it can't be explained. It just has to be felt.
SO UNDERATED. This deserves a few more zeros on the right of the views and likes count. Magnificent! Doing this having a job and shit, man you deserve respect. Great game, perfect game OST, and a world class performance of it. Take my like, my subscription and my respect. Cheers mate, in one take, this is insanely good for a
I'd like to manage english like you do, man. I've already saw a lot of game music in piano performances but this man knows how to play with feeling. I wonder if he really played the game.
soft chill at 0:30 / 5:52 wow chill again / 7:57 goosebumps / 9:46 I just returned to reality (yea, still chilling) / 13:00 the colossus is looking at me, but cant see him... yet / 14:22 holy fuck, that shit is enormous, i really felt that part /16:16 at last, im on it / 18:24 feels again / 20:07 the sky, the horses, the grass, the eagles... everything starts again, the reborn.
LOL. im not "high" xD I'm just a musician, like you. But i play the guitar xD anyways, I'm not offended by your comment. I must to say your video is so underrated, about the number of visit and likes. This is one of the best jobs i have ever seen in YT.
14:16 that explosion there, it's just overwhelming, probably the best OST for Playstation, and I dare to say the best made for videogames, it just represents all the game is, sacrifice, nostalgia, sadness and greatness. You are a god my friend, this made me remind my childhood, thank you.
For me the problem with most arrangements is folks get the notes right and nothing else, but you... you my friend, put your heart and soul into it and brought the atmosphere to life on this piano. You didn't just play it, you told the story the way it was meant to be told. And, ai am thankful you shared it with us.
23 minutes ago I had a random thought of "maybe somebody has piano versions of Shadow of the Colossus music" and I am beyond impressed. I've played through that game multiple times and I feel you have captured the complete journey of the game in this arrangement. Every song is placed perfectly and I truly felt like I was reliving a playthrough of it. I'm upset with myself for not finding this video earlier! I am currently teaching myself to play piano and you have reminded me why I want to play. Growing up I'd listen to video game soundtracks like Zelda, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy etc. and I've always wanted to recreate these beautiful soundtracks. I hope to be half as good as you someday, to be able to play this arrangement!
you deserve a ton of recognition. this is just epic, i can't find the right words. you managed to take a few of my favourite songs from my favourite game ever, and turn them into absolute beauty. congratulations, and much success.
I'm more than impressed with your talent good sir. I didn't think 1 piano could so adeptly convey the emotions put into the orchestral compositions that were written for this game. Your skill to, not only play, but to bring forth the emotions that this soundtrack contains is absolutely incredible. Keep the up the good work!
I really love Shadow of the Colossus and watch some videos of musical performance on TH-cam. I only know the title in Japanese so I used to search ワンダと巨像, but today I searched in English. I surprised that there are so many fantstic videos and especially your videos are perfect. I love your piano. I feel your love for the game by your performance. I am very happy to encount this video by concidence. Thank you.
Not just enough to play it wonderfully, but the description perfectly captures the emotions when playing the game and these songs come up. And he plays them likewise, making it a truly fitting cover of these songs.
I am here for this rendition of The Opened Way. I used to play this one back in the day, but nowhere NEAR this impressive. I always love seeing performers moving their whole body when they get so into playing. Excellent work!
Holy shit, all the details. He didn't skip most of the minor details of the songs, that made such a difference compared to most of the tabs and midi files of them when I was looking back in 2012. Great job sir, now I can't seem to start my day without listening to this concert atleast once.
I've already commented this two years ago. But i keep coming back, this is my favorite piano video in the world. Started playing when the pandemy started and i had lot of free time. Now i love the piano. And this performance really moves me, it brought me tears of pure joy and emotion today. Thank you
Hello 17th Colossus, I address you as a simple witness to your incredible performance at the concert. No matter how many years go by, I always find myself reconnecting with my inner self, taking a breath, and simply enjoying the moments you create with each keystroke. I hope you continue to share your talent, that you’re doing well, and that you’re flourishing.
I started thinking of all the things I wanted to write to let you know just how amazing this video is, but I realized this comment would be way too long. So, from one artist to another, I thoroughly appreciate every aspect of this performance and the effort you put in man, thank you so much!
I have no words to describe how good this is. It's so inspiring, it reminds me why I love playing piano. I think that if you made videos more frequently your channel could easily become very popular.
I wish I could, but it's a balancing act. Firstly between these videos and my other musical projects, and secondly of course between quality and quantity (quality of arrangement and performance, whether or not by memory, etc). But thank you for watching and I'm glad you find something worthwhile in my work.
This is my favourite video on TH-cam. That performance of The Sunlit Earth is on par with the original piece. I’ve tried learning it because of you and it’s only increased my appreciation of your performance.
being a pianist and a gamer this was a real treat for me. Was a joy to listen to. My absolute favorite track from SOC was Revived power and I wish you played this for longer (but it's probably very tiring!). Awesome arrangement, well done!
TheSlowPianist Its a honour to receive a repply from such an artist! Thak you. Maybe you wanna give a little check in Dear Esther soundtrack, especially the track called "Twenty One". If you wanna something more known the first Halo game intro its a great game track too, i can already hear piano notes taking place of the beautiful gregorian sing. But after SoTC soundtrack, the best OST for me is the Hitman Blood Money's Jesper Kyd masterpiece. The track "Apocalypse" its one of the most powerful i've ever heard and capture all the game atmosphere.
why cant i stop crying when i listen to this music(both prologue and epilogue)? the best game I have ever played by far and the most touching music in video games.
OMG it was amazing to watch your fingers fly on the piano playing my favorite video game soundtrack, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling and humming along with it! That was amazing!!!
Time seems to slow to a standstill while watching this. There's something so very careful and patient about this pianist- *sees youtube channel title* - Ahh. It all makes perfect sense. :)
Absolutely fantastic, even as I could hear the original compositions in my head not only did I hear no errors I heard a lovingly restored form of this jaw dropping soundtrack. Every accented note and loud heavy cord recreated the same power that a full orchestra could make. The quieter calmer pieces similarly emphasised the peaceful and solemn nature of the events of this game. And yet still Sign of the Colossus felt as eerie as ever. Incredible work man!
Holy moly. What an incredible performance. I can't exaggerate how much talent shines through in every aspect of this concert. You put a huge smile on my face at multiple places. Good work!
esse jogo não é apenas um jogo qualquer que te diverte por algumas horas, é uma OBRA DE ARTE que te faz se conectar com aquele mundo e com os personagens de uma forma impressionante. Choro toda vez que ouço ''The Sunlit Earth''. Simplesmente PERFEITO, o jogo e seu vídeo (Que também dá pra considerar uma obra de arte).
From Sign of the Colossus to Prayer I feel like those five songs one after another represent (more or less) the five stages of grief: 1 Denial 2 Anger 3 Bargain 4 Depression 5 Acceptance
Perhaps it's been like a year since I first saw this video, I watch it multiple times a week and I love it everytime. Today I got into the comments section and all the support you get is as beautiful as your video. Thanks for sharing this with us, just perfect.
David Hsu Interestingly I got it in the first take! But I guess classical training makes you practise for live performance and everything so it's not THAT surprising.
The Song Memories is by far my favorite of the Shadow of Colossus OST. You play it flawless and as a fellow musician I applaud you. Such a simple and sweet tender piece of music that just really draws a person in and you feel at such peace.
I like the play style you have, as well as showing emotion through body gestures and movement, really adding either melancholic or intense feeling. Around 7:00 minutes in, right before going into "The Opened Way" you really portrayed a strong sense of intensity giving a feeling and emotion to the music, syncing with how the notes are played aggressively! Amazing performance as you continue to inspire me to become just as skilled :D
I'm so glad I rediscovered this! When I was younger this video inspired me to try the piano myself and I even managed to learn a few of these songs thanks to you! They were beautiful in their time. You are very talented my friend! I can see the spirit of divinity flowing through you and onto the keys! I mean that with all sincerity. I believe with the entirety of my being that this is what it means to do the will of God.
This is absolutely fantastic! I've never seen so much focus and emotion in any performance like this. Had me in tears man, especially when you started playing The Sunlit Earth.. You are remarkably talented!
Congratulaions man! I don't have words to describe how incredible is this. I am a huge fan of this soundtrack and you're the first person I've seen that could actually capture the essence of the score into the piano. The medley is great, the combination of the pieces, everything is really great. Congratulation once again.
This guy is so god like playing this! having that much memory to play all these tracks without a sheet and never messes up a single note! it's Amazing!!!
I'm impressed by your effort and control in dynamics, it really gives the best significance to every piece you played! Thank you for sharing this, it is a wonderful tribute.
I usually never comment, but I've listened and felt deeply inclined to say something. It is really easy to see how much work you have put into this Concert, as it is extremely soulful. I really wish you the best on moving forward, as you are true with your art.
Just one word: Amazing. You did an excellent work full of emotion and elegance, I hope you can give us one of these days a full live concert, so we can support your work with donations. Thanks for all
Best pianist I ever saw. Such feeling in the playing, Those are perfect interpretations of SOTC musics, for me, it's the best musics ever made for a video game. You obviously have a lot of talent
Ive been listening for 7. years straight
Don't forget to take breaks!

OMG it was amazing to watch your fingers fly on the piano playing my favorite video game soundtrack, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling and humming along with it! That was amazing!!!
Time seems to slow to a standstill while watching this. There's something so very careful and patient about this pianist- *sees youtube channel title* - Ahh. It all makes perfect sense. :)
My favorite soundtrack, ever. You did it justice. Rock on my guy.
Absolutely fantastic, even as I could hear the original compositions in my head not only did I hear no errors I heard a lovingly restored form of this jaw dropping soundtrack. Every accented note and loud heavy cord recreated the same power that a full orchestra could make. The quieter calmer pieces similarly emphasised the peaceful and solemn nature of the events of this game. And yet still Sign of the Colossus felt as eerie as ever.
Incredible work man!
Holy moly. What an incredible performance. I can't exaggerate how much talent shines through in every aspect of this concert. You put a huge smile on my face at multiple places. Good work!
esse jogo não é apenas um jogo qualquer que te diverte por algumas horas, é uma OBRA DE ARTE que te faz se conectar com aquele mundo e com os personagens de uma forma impressionante. Choro toda vez que ouço ''The Sunlit Earth''. Simplesmente PERFEITO, o jogo e seu vídeo (Que também dá pra considerar uma obra de arte).
Why doesn't this have more views? You deserve more attention, man! This is beautiful!
From Sign of the Colossus to Prayer I feel like those five songs one after another represent (more or less) the five stages of grief:
1 Denial
2 Anger
3 Bargain
4 Depression
5 Acceptance
+TheSlowPianist this... is a masterpeice, when im bored, i put my earphones on and listen to this... you, sir, deserve all the credit...
Added to favourites once I heard The Opened Way. Absolutely fantastic.
Perhaps it's been like a year since I first saw this video, I watch it multiple times a week and I love it everytime.
Today I got into the comments section and all the support you get is as beautiful as your video.
Thanks for sharing this with us, just perfect.
It's a rare corner of positivity on the internet, and I'm happy with it.
Don't even wanna think how much practicing it took to get this in one take...and how many takes it still took. Bravo!
David Hsu Interestingly I got it in the first take! But I guess classical training makes you practise for live performance and everything so it's not THAT surprising.
no words to express , what a musician!
im fucking shocked... no words
The Song Memories is by far my favorite of the Shadow of Colossus OST. You play it flawless and as a fellow musician I applaud you. Such a simple and sweet tender piece of music that just really draws a person in and you feel at such peace.
How does this not have a billion views?
i am so glad this beautiful music is getting outside of its medium, i've tried to share it with so many people the past 10 years
amazing peformance
I like the play style you have, as well as showing emotion through body gestures and movement, really adding either melancholic or intense feeling. Around 7:00 minutes in, right before going into "The Opened Way" you really portrayed a strong sense of intensity giving a feeling and emotion to the music, syncing with how the notes are played aggressively! Amazing performance as you continue to inspire me to become just as skilled :D
I can’t be the only one that feels the need to cry at the Prologue
Me hizo llorar de la emoción. Gracias.
I'm so glad I rediscovered this! When I was younger this video inspired me to try the piano myself and I even managed to learn a few of these songs thanks to you! They were beautiful in their time. You are very talented my friend! I can see the spirit of divinity flowing through you and onto the keys! I mean that with all sincerity. I believe with the entirety of my being that this is what it means to do the will of God.
This is absolutely fantastic! I've never seen so much focus and emotion in any performance like this. Had me in tears man, especially when you started playing The Sunlit Earth.. You are remarkably talented!
7:50 best part... he even smiles while playing. great.
Incredible. Anything that I can say has already been said, so I'll say this: str8 ballin'.
I`ve gotten here 10 years late. This is a masterpiece. Hope you`ll get the recognition you deserve!
Congratulaions man! I don't have words to describe how incredible is this. I am a huge fan of this soundtrack and you're the first person I've seen that could actually capture the essence of the score into the piano. The medley is great, the combination of the pieces, everything is really great. Congratulation once again.
This guy is so god like playing this! having that much memory to play all these tracks without a sheet and never messes up a single note! it's Amazing!!!
BRAVO!!!!!
This is awesome! I'm in love with your playing style. Please keep creating, you're the most expressive VG piano coverer I've seen on TH-cam!
Phenomenal arrangements and performance. The intro alone had me hooked - played with such grace and determination. Beautiful!
Listening for thousandth time ...
It's amazing
I'm impressed by your effort and control in dynamics, it really gives the best significance to every piece you played!
Thank you for sharing this, it is a wonderful tribute.
Amazing job, my favorite part is the second battle theme, you've played it so well it gave me goosebumps !
I usually never comment, but I've listened and felt deeply inclined to say something. It is really easy to see how much work you have put into this Concert, as it is extremely soulful. I really wish you the best on moving forward, as you are true with your art.
I'm 10 years late to this absolute banger
Just one word: Amazing.
You did an excellent work full of emotion and elegance, I hope you can give us one of these days a full live concert, so we can support your work with donations.
Thanks for all
Q coisa mais linda, fiquei emocionado, lembrei da infância
One of the best things I've ever witnessed. I come back regularely
Found this again in one of my saved playlists. As wonderful to watch now, even all these years on.
Best pianist I ever saw. Such feeling in the playing, Those are perfect interpretations of SOTC musics, for me, it's the best musics ever made for a video game. You obviously have a lot of talent
