47 here and it's still one of the best OST's I've ever heard...and sonny, I've played too many games in my life, too many. This is timeless music, truly.
"WHAT?!" "YOU!!!" "HEY!!!" LOL. This game was so amazing, and this godly piece of music here is just memorable. The guitar is to die for. Depresses me that the franchise hasn't had a good sequel in such a long time.
***** I just don't get this. Rescue the captive ninja was based around the very worst parts of the game. Spawning in a forest where you need to play 4 or 5 times to not be instantly detected unfairly. Later goes on to have pointless confusing map design. And this level was incredibly bad, being a straight linear map which was focused on the crappy combat.
Rainbow Dashtruction I also really hated those pitfalls in Resue the Captive Ninja. This level got really bad when you got near the water fall. Enemies can see you really easily.
***** Not to mention it ends with the hardest boss in the game, when your not practiced enough to fight him well, and after its the longest level in the game to finish.
The setting on this stage was brilliant. It was like something out of a dream. I think the fact that the trees descended into darkness off the mountain really helped to add an element of mystery and intrigue to what could have otherwise been just a "normal mountain." This song and stage were perfectly married.
I was born in 1994 , and now I am 22 years old. I was fortunate to play many PS1 Titles ( Including Tenchu ) in 1999 and 2000. I think these songs will remain embedded in our hearts and in our memories for a lifetime.
That music is so powerful. Just by itself, without any narrativ script or dialog, it makes you feel bad for the princess and makes you doubts and fear for the safety of this child. Making you, in the process, more invested into the mission. Particularly the part starting at 01:15 is amazing to this melancholic, sad ambience... All this even though, the princess is really just a very secondary character of the game. It really is a music score full of emotion.
No, I never give a fuck about the princess, let along worry about her. The power in this music came from the creepy beginning part that matches perfectly with the dark and narrow path leading up to the hill. At 01:20 the emotion turns passionated and the slaughter of the enemies was the most rewarding part while killing all the way to the submit.
Pfftt...you said it. No game industry bullshit like today. Still, I believe it would've been the same back then as today; the technology simply wasn't there to make possible all that you mentioned. With limited computing power back then, games _had_ to be good!
Fuck that one guard on the mountain side who you couldn't get a stealth kill on because the animation made Rikimaru walk off the edge to his death! Beautiful piece though.
Im amazed how such simple & vintage PS1 game had such a magnificent OST. I was like 17 when playing it, now I'm 38 & it still hits my feelz & touches my soul ❤
I was in the 6th grade when playing this masterpiece for the first time. I remember couldn't get past the first level (evil merchant) because I was so used to hack and slash games so I kept dying haha
they have to remake the game with the same guy who produced the music. what the hell happened to Sony computer entertainment Japan in general ? they had the best games on early PlayStation platform
Tenchu by now deserves a remake of the game with more detail and stealth mechanics and improved sword play.... the only thing that doesn't need improving is it soundtrack.
Me encanta esta canción junto con la del culto manji en verdad me da mucha felicidad y nostalgia el recordar muchas cosas y momentos felices con este juego tenchu 1 y 2 son unas obras maestras y joyas en el aspecto de los videojuegos son reliquias de aprecio y respeto me alegro y siento orgullo de haber jugado estos 2 títulos de Playstation sería una excelente idea volver a jugarlos como remake conservando su esencia historia sonidos y banda sonora en verdad esto me emociona y más me entra la nostalgia al jugar sekiro y ghost of shushima
When I hear this I think about a girl I met, her beauty she and I used to take long walks on cool crisp nights in the moonlight and this music reminds me of one night we sat next to each other by a cozy fire. How we fell in love
Except he doesn't die. One of the later games shows he (for some reason or another) teleports through time into the present day, kills a gang boss and then a break in the time stream brings him back. Also I believe it IS canon as I think Rikimaru is your teacher in Tenchu Z.
Fire Dragon K That kind of takes away from the emotional impact of the ending. And seems pretty indicative of the problems which plagued every single sequel to the game - the story simply became too fantastic, and lost the charm of the original. The black and white, Akira Kurosawa-esque opening, the mournful soundtrack, the simple story tying in elements of Japanese culture and history. The Tenchu series became a gigantic, bloated mess. I'd love to see it be given a spiritual successor, but completely removed of the supernatural nonsense.
I can understand your view. Tenchu,1 although clunky by todays standards is awesome and that soundtrack is timeless. I do admit though his present day level was fun to do lol If possible for you I do recommend picking up Tenchu Z however, but sometime in the future if someone could do a remastered Tenchu 1 that would be interesting.
I like tenchu 1 and 3 (ive played them all) .this has to be the best track in the game and the stage just love it ,tho the onikage battle theme is cool also. hope they bring a new game for the ps4.
@modewr For me, yes. Mainly for nostalgia purposes. I still love the fact my dad let me play this back then and always denies it. I guess if I wasn't bias I would say Tenchu Z had good design so I guess others will consider it best for the graphics, levels, fast pacing, storyline? & I guess customisability of the main character (which isn't that big) and that Tenchu 2 does upgrade a lot of things (except for the music, the graphics and the difficulty, no boss in 2 can compare to Lord Mei-Oh).
In this level, I had to work a bit harder to keep stealthy... Those mountain demons had such high health, and did a little more damage in their attacks than regular enemies. And the terrain was tricky in some parts.
No dlc,no season pass, no pre-order..no toxic community
Perfect ost, perfect game, perfect times.
oh man... spot on
Yes, never have I enjoyed a game as much as I did Tenchu 1.
天誅 忍凱旋 的時代 真香
AAAAAAAMEEEEN.
SO right you are. after PS2 I stopped gaming.
I was 18 & now I am 38 but still hear this song damn this game & music never gets old what a masterpiece
Screw the muddy orchestrals of today, memorable and bold instrumental solos like this are the real gaming music.
8 YEARS NOW 21 XD COME ON REMAKE PC GAMER FULL QUALITY, COME ONIKAGE ET FIGHT ME MY OLD FRIEND
Hey!, same age here lol. Also a fan of the Tenchu OST.
47 here and it's still one of the best OST's I've ever heard...and sonny, I've played too many games in my life, too many. This is timeless music, truly.
@@dozerroman4325
I'm glad bro
I want a Tenchu: Stealth Assassins remastered so bad 😭
With original music, yes.
@@nickdragon4565 Yes, 100% agree
Ya man and legend of dragoon
Fun fact: we were going to have another tenchu game
@@9773an Oh really ?!
The most beautiful track in the game ^^
+Sniper Wolf especially that acoustic part..but hey, whole soundtrack was amazing anyway..
I can't agree more. If they ever make a movie this should be the main theme
in the games*
Totally agree!
Solid T dude no one cares
The peace of those days...
Peace of mind has gone with those days
😩😭 words have never been more true!
Will life ... someday ... be so simply, easy or simple ... "Life", as during this period? ...
I feel you bro!
Tenchu got the best soundtrack ever . I really love their music
the composer is noriyuki asakura
Noriyuki Asakura creates amazing music!
you can really tell the rorouni kenshin feels
"Night night, Whaaaaat!??? Heeey you!! Show yourself"
"were are u"!
"Coward!"
I always interpreted it as "Nice night..."
@@zososierp It could be..
When they find they say ::YOU::
"WHAT?!" "YOU!!!" "HEY!!!"
LOL. This game was so amazing, and this godly piece of music here is just memorable. The guitar is to die for. Depresses me that the franchise hasn't had a good sequel in such a long time.
This forest stage was just amazing, leaves falling and climbing that mountain. Epic!
Wait, people actually like this level? It was like, the shittiest mission in the game by a longshot.
This level and resue captive ninja are tied for me.

The grand old days of the PS1 ..
I was glad to be a part of it 🙂
after 16 years..why this song still touching me so hard ??...the days of playing Tenchu 1 & 2.. one of the greatest moments in my life..T_T
I was born in 1994 , and now I am 22 years old. I was fortunate to play many PS1 Titles ( Including Tenchu ) in 1999 and 2000.
I think these songs will remain embedded in our hearts and in our memories for a lifetime.
our childhood memories hold our true passion of our fantasies
Wow very interesting comment! You're right! :D
u mean teenhood ? i wasn't child back in the day lol
same here:)
With this shit Noriyuki Asakura smokes the whole U.S producers combined in one joint.
word
No wonder some music from tenchu remind me of rurouni kenshin.
beautifully spoken 🥲
I really want to become a little boy again haha... i really love this game... rikimaru and ayame you are my ultimate idol
It's 2021 and I always come back to this every once in a while
Hell ya brother same here. This whole game had an amazing soundtrack
Same habit here, bro. It is irresistible isn't it?
We back right now mang
Me too.....
Greetings from Brazil!!
Same as always. Now OP must return.
Me transporta a cuando tenía 12 años.. jamás van a poner tanto corazón en un juego.
juegazo JUEGAZO JUEGAZO el 1 y 2. ... si , esta bien el sekiro y casi lo termino ya, pero extraño el sigilo del tenchu

Sekiro literally has a stage where you climb a mountain and get a flower on the edge of the top..
It's so sad that the music in Sekiro was not nearly as beautiful or remarkable as this, but it is a wonderful game
So does rdr2 with the Native American
@@Lunaria.Praesentia Sekiro is a very well made game, but I would still rather play Tenchu. Crazy, right?
Nothing crazy TENCHU 1 is overall way better game.
Sekiro... yeah... 🙄
I miss this game and its music. One of the best games in PsOne up to now.
My favorite track in this game. So many childhood memories. :)
this song brings back some good memories
listening now, first time I've felt any emotion in a while. seriously moving music...
for me, the best song Noriyuki Asakura ever made
One of the best song i ever heared , it's remind me of my childhood :/
One of the very best pieces of music I've ever heard in a game.
No dlc,no season pass, no pre-order, no Fortnite, no Freefire, no toxic community
Perfect times..
Pfftt...you said it. No game industry bullshit like today. Still, I believe it would've been the same back then as today; the technology simply wasn't there to make possible all that you mentioned. With limited computing power back then, games _had_ to be good!

I played as Ayame so I could do stealth killing just fine..
ROFL
LOL
lmfao
lol those are the situations i would crouch slash them for the 1 hit kill
This is so heroic music, Dreadful mission but he do this for the princess.

I was 20 when i played this game with my father ...now my father has gone to heaven and am lonely when i need to cry i listen to it
they have to remake the game with the same guy who produced the music. what the hell happened to Sony computer entertainment Japan in general ? they had the best games on early PlayStation platform
holy shit dude i know right? please bring back the game play and music of tenchu to a new and improved console
lots of flaws in this game
Antonio Montana I so agree with you there! ✌💯✌
His name Noriyuki Asakura.
Really amazing music he done
Ikr? Tenchu 1 had best sound track
Best soundtrack,best mission and best Tenchu. I wanna play it again!🔝
when i first played this game i was just a little kid,and i find deep in my heart the good memories it brings
One of the first songs I learned when I began classical guitar training. Love this til this day.
Same here.
with todays graphic technology, Tenchu has amazing potential
as an open world game set in 16th-century azuchi Era - Japan.
This entire soundtrack is one of the greatest. Totally on another level.
Who ever is on the piano is SKATING ALL OVER IT! I love this track!
Tenchu by now deserves a remake of the game with more detail and stealth mechanics and improved sword play.... the only thing that doesn't need improving is it soundtrack.
best Tenchu i ever played they need to bring the feeling bck.
the game that got me into video games and became my first love
uuf Thanks for this, man so many years with this music in my head was sounding different now
What a beautiful tune, so relaxing...
Me encanta esta canción junto con la del culto manji en verdad me da mucha felicidad y nostalgia el recordar muchas cosas y momentos felices con este juego tenchu 1 y 2 son unas obras maestras y joyas en el aspecto de los videojuegos son reliquias de aprecio y respeto me alegro y siento orgullo de haber jugado estos 2 títulos de Playstation sería una excelente idea volver a jugarlos como remake conservando su esencia historia sonidos y banda sonora en verdad esto me emociona y más me entra la nostalgia al jugar sekiro y ghost of shushima

It is like traveling in time and space and being in feudal Japan! Beautiful!
When I first listen to the accoustic + strings part, it hits right in the feels. 17 years later.. The feels remain :)
That last little piano riff on the end keeps me rewinding.
I love this game I was 12 now 33yrs old this tenchu soundtrack and still I have all tenchu collection
Esta es mi soundtrack favorito, tan solo la música te transporta y te hace sentir q estas en el juego!
MEMORIES!
Senza parole.. Troppi ricordi. Too much memories..
You can just feel the autumn seeping out of this song 🍁 🍂 🍂 🍁 I can’t wait for September to arrive.
first part up to about 40 seconds gives me chills!
Davvero un bel pezzo, che ricordi =)
so nostalgic ...so beautiful music ... find the Herb in order to save Kikou
I want to see someone play the guitar section on youtube
You should do it then you can watch yourself.
Working on it!
Its quite easy actually. Mayor scale for the lead parts and the only strummed are A minor and E minor. Just in case you want to play it.
Jost Rodríguez the style sounds Mexican solo guitarish. Where could I find more music similar to this style? I absolutely love this!
@@selfawareness333 its spanish. You should start listening to Francisco Tárrega and Paco de Lucía.
Best sound ...
...2022' still listening 🎧
Hearing this really makes me want to get back into playing guitar. stopped playing after it was broken. :( missed it so much!
En una parte del coro, con mi hermanos pensabamos que decia "Onikaaage" XDDD
En fin, mi ost favorita del Tenchu
lo mismo decia yo... onikageeeee xD
Know what's so sad about this track? It's basically a remixed version of 'Faraway' when RIkimaru dies. It's kind of hinting what happens :(
Except he doesn't die. One of the later games shows he (for some reason or another) teleports through time into the present day, kills a gang boss and then a break in the time stream brings him back.
Also I believe it IS canon as I think Rikimaru is your teacher in Tenchu Z.

Best song of the game
que recuerdos esta mision me encanto completo el soundtrack la buena epoca cosas que nunca volveran jaja
Always loved the 1st, it felt like a dark-Japanese fairytale.
You can smell the Rurouni Kenshin in this song.
Raiden3651 certainly jaja
he composed Rurouni Kenshin music.
My Favorite Soundtrack In The Entire Ost!! 😁 (Besides Manji Cult)
Great choice buddy
All game are already perfect out of the box during that time. No dlc, no patches no crap and stuffs.... Gone were those awesome days..
Ahhh, 1999, the calm before the storm.
Con esta cancion me despedia de la mujer que he querido mas que a nadie en este mundo :(
I like tenchu 1 and 3 (ive played them all) .this has to be the best track in the game and the stage just love it ,tho the onikage battle theme is cool also. hope they bring a new game for the ps4.
mision en la montaña , perfect sound
Excelente soundtrack, muy bello
Asakura Mastaaaaa :D love kenshin/tenchu OST sooo muchh :s more games need his music
Así se hacía la música para video juegos!
Como vuelan los años
This is my workout music
oh God i love this music very much
This track feels like my life.
@modewr For me, yes. Mainly for nostalgia purposes. I still love the fact my dad let me play this back then and always denies it.

Who made this !?! It’s sensational
this song is breath taking.
Lastima que no estan en spotify :(. AMO ESE JUEGO UU es de mi infancia
1:23 , 1:28 best passage ever
thankyou to all the creators...
I can still hear the wolves howling in the darkness with this music
🐺 !
I remember this music
Megusteria ver a la orquesta tocando está canción
I was 9 years old when this game came out now I’m 33 years old great video game
This is one amazing jazzy ninja track
1:20 this part is amazing
so peaceful..... ahh........
aaahhh that guitar....
¡Beautiful!
I like to put this song on and go to park at night,imagining i'm a ninja and work out. That just make a boring routine so much more fun :P
Please, remake this masterpiece!!
Music like this is why i love gaming
beautiful...
In this level, I had to work a bit harder to keep stealthy... Those mountain demons had such high health, and did a little more damage in their attacks than regular enemies. And the terrain was tricky in some parts.
The best song tenchu
Greatest video game song of all time
