For some reason TH-cam is disappearing some comments, and even some of my replies to comments! If yours got disappeared, just know that I most likely read it in my notifications and I appreciate your kind words very much :)
Yeah I know this struggle, I feel bad when I'm not able to respond to people because of it. But I know you always make an effort to respond to your comments :D
if this doesn't blow up, I'm gonna throw hands with people. This is amazing! I haven't played Metroid, but the music is so epic! And gotta love the zero suit samus cosplay. Once again amazing!
That’s one of the reasons why Metroid is so relevant in videogame history. It’s gameplay is always linked with epic and atmospheric music. Masterpiece videogame saga!
Seems about time to go beat up some TH-cam staff and get them to tweak some algorithms... Oh yeah, and Metroid Prime Remastered just came out for the Switch - amazing improvements to an already great game.
Holy moly, you played this all in one take? Fantastic work. I appreciate how you incorporated softer moments instead of going full throttle the whole way. I hope tons of people get to experience your musicianship.
For real...absolutely amazing and even more beautiful than the original. Gawd, I haven't played the original Metroid in so long, I think my younger brother has the catridge and NES now. I want to play it again, and beat the game as fast as I can, heheheh.
GIRL OMG!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ undying admiration for being able to play so excellently and effortlessly in COSPLAY for 20+ FUCKING MINUTES i don't think the majority of people truly understand what a feat that is!!!!! You look beautiful and beautiful playing as always!!!!
Thank you so much!!! I know you understand how hard it is haha, so that means a lot!! Other than playing in it, cosplay is freaking dope and I'm thinking very hard about what I want to commission (thanks for the reference btw)... Terra maybe...
Everybody is commenting on your technique. They're all right! You play effortlessly! The dynamics, the interpretation and the seems between songs, you nailed it! ;D
I don't know how I missed this video - this is incredible! Metroid is one of my favorite series (I've only ever played the 2D ones) and hearing them all in your style as a medley is incredible. I love how you follow the progression of games and even the progression inside the game. i.e.: you start with NES Metroid at the title screen, and then go to Bristar, and then Kraid's Lair. You then hit the SR388 surface music from Metroid II, and then go into Super Metroid starting at the beginning and then working your way deeper into it... just that alone is so cool it really takes you on a journey through the games. Incredible playing - recording this in one take is something I would have been so scared to do. Also, I love the cosplay as well! :) Really awesome playing and i'm super stoked for your channel in general! I think I remember when your channel was at 400-500 subs and now you're well on your way to 1,000 - that's incredible! well deserved. PS: that transition at 5:59 was perfect omg.
Omg thank you so much!!! It means a lot! This was one of my favorite videos to put together! I'm obsessed with Metroid too, hehe. I would highly recommend playing Prime if you have a way too. It's so beautiful, right up there with Ocarina of Time I think. And I really enjoy Dread! It's one of the more challenging Metroids for me, or maybe I've played the other 2D ones so many times they feel easier haha
@@AnimalisaKeys that's awesome!! i can tell you put a ton of effort into this one and it's great :). I have my old gamecube still in working condition so i will pick up Prime and try it out! I'm excited for it... playing through Dread was amazing, and it hyped me up to replay all the old 2D games.... it's probably time to check out some of the 3D ones :) I'll let you know how it goes!
Quite possibly my favorite game franchise, and I'm old enough to have been around from the start! I really enjoyed the Samus Returns theme. I spent a lot of time hunched over my Game Boy playing through that game - many times in fact. Thanks for sharing this great performance!
Oh my gosh, those rolls at 5:29 and the sheer consistency of your articulation... I had to stop working on this spreadsheet at work to admire it. Makes me want to go out and conquer something.
I've had the NES version of Kraid's Theme as my ringtone for years. I've never had any inclination to change it. ...now I'm contemplating replacing it with your piano rendition
This is really fantastic. I've been listening to a lot of VG piano on youtube this past year and there's plenty of FFVI and Chrono Trigger and those are great, but NOBODY is doing Metroid. And this pretty much perfect.. I don't know how it could be improved. Thanks Anilmalisa Keys!
Thank you!! Metroid music is REALLY tricky to translate to piano sometimes, but I enjoy the challenge and it's one of my favorite game series so I just go for it haha
Kraid's Lair is one of the first songs I obsessed over as a kid trying to learn to play piano by ear. I love how you transitioned from it to SR388 (but I also love how you transitioned from everything else to everything else). You have such an amazing knack for capturing the essence of this series' atmospheric and layered music with just one instrument. Norfair Ancient Ruins is especially a track that I almost never hear arrangers of even bombastic orchestral tracks get "right," but you really nailed it.
Kraid's lair is my favorite! And thanks so much for listening to all of this, haha :D Metroid music is tricky to capture on one instrument for sure, there are often so many layers
@@AnimalisaKeys I was hoping for Mother Brain from SM to show up but that one would probably be hard to interpret on piano because of the weird chords with pitch bends
@@TripleBMusic Yeah the sliding would be difficult to imitate on piano... It did cross my mind though! that song makes my blood pressure spike big time
Wow, it's been a while since a piano player gave me goosebumps! Excellent independence and left hand technique, super clean single-note repetitions, even crossed-hand arpeggios. Most importantly: An amazing medley of one of my utmost favorite video game franchises of all time. All recorded in one freaking take! What an outstanding performance! Bravo, you knocked it out of the park!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
you never cease to amaze me! That was such a great selection of Metroid themes (some of the Prime songs I haven't heard in over a decade) and excellently arranged. I can barely fathom the amount of focus it takes to do that whole epic medley at once 🤩. Brava!!
@@AnimalisaKeys Same here! Record a Metroid cover has been in my schedule for a long time, your video has been the final push. So I'm working on a little Metroid tribute now 😝 (Btw, I shared your cover with two friends of mine, one is a Metroid fan, the other is a piano student... Both loved your video 😉)
Your videos are so good. You have feeling and dynamics. Clean playing. Some pianists sound technical and mechanical but by comparison yours is soulful. Keep up the good work! I really enjoy your ChronoTrigger, Final Fantasy, and Zelda soundtracks. By the way a Dragon Quest 8 OST would be amazing!
Second video after listening through the Chrono Trigger medley, you really do have a gift! Beautiful arrangements and tasteful dynamics. Do you think you'll ever cover some Nier/Automata songs? They're such beautiful soundtracks, and I can tell you'd knock em out of the park!
Thanks for watching some more of my stuff :D and I'm actually working on a livestream songlist right now and learned a couple of Nier songs for it so you'll be able to request them once I'm up and streaming!
Haha :D oh man I was away from home when I first played Dread and all I had with me was the teeny tiny joycons... made my hands cramp but I got through it!
Runda's Battle is so good it is wild. The chords and perhaps your piano add so much more...grunge? to it. Love it! Still just 6 weeks or so into my piano lessons, broke into chords last week and learning the black keys this week! Your videos give me motivation to practice every night!
I never thought you'd top my personal favorite (Dungeons Theme from Startropics), but here you did, and then some. I listen to a lot of these piano covers, Tom Brier mostly and also a lot of electric guitar covers of old NES tunes, but you're quickly becoming one of my favorites. Can't thank you enough for the amount of work and heart you pour into these. I hope someday you'll consider doing a similar treatment of Kid Icarus. Thanks again for the fine work (and you are too, too cute with the outfits -- that's dedication!).
I just found your channel from one comment you made on my friend Retro Drummer's channel, and i must say your channel is pure gold, i know almost every song you play and i absolutely love them so much! (I have a chrono trigger cover too in my channel 😁) I'm definitely subscribing for more! 🤘🏻🐺🔥
Thanks so much!! I had fun coming up with some of these transitions, haha. And props to purpleschala indeed, she is a magnificent pianist and arranger!
19:08 YEEEEEESSS you played the part! I got chills! I was hoping you'd play that beautiful cascading scale because that's my favorite moment in the entire Metroid Prime score, and probably from all the Metroid scores combined. What a finish!
@@AnimalisaKeys Same, Metroid Prime was the ultimate escapism for me as a troubled kid in middleschool. I used to just sit and daydream about being in the game. The music had a lot to do with it, so good.
@@IanConradYoung Any particular song from the game? I'm actually hoping to start live-streaming soon, so I need good suggestions to add to the songlist I will be making. It'll be a bit before I start, though since I'm traveling a lot for the next 3 months
@@AnimalisaKeys That’s awesome! Sorry for the delay, I got lost trying to find my old TH-camr who had them up. 1. Intro 2. Overworld Theme 3. Battle Theme 4. Boss Theme 5. Rune’s Theme 6. Air Castle Theme
This was sick! I only caught the very end of it live cause I'm busy with finals, but I made sure to watch it from the beginning when I was free and I was blown away. One of the most killer musical tributes to Metroid I've ever seen, right up there with virt's "Crystal Flash". I was particularly happy to hear Rundas's Theme make an appearance, as it's a personal favourite that I feel a lot of people sleep on. Anyway, thanks again for this incredible performance!
Thanks so much for watching!! I'm glad you liked the inclusion of Rundas' theme. A lot of people didn't recognize it, but I think it's an epic battle tune worthy of attention! I'll have to go check out this "Crystal Flash" you mentioned
This is an incredible medley Annalisa! Such wonderful, beautifully precise playing and the arranging really captures the feel of the original pieces, while translating perfectly onto the piano! Kraid's Lair was definitely my favourite (it's always reminded me of Castlevania music for some reason, haha)
Thank you! Kraids lair is my favorite too, so I had to play it twice :) it reminds me of a Brahms symphony lol... Something about the leaping intervals in the melody
Amazing! When I first saw this, I was wondering how she would handle the Title screen music...I'm guessing both the sustain and attack pedals got put to some good use? I just recently subscribed, I love video game soundtrack covers! Looks like I have a few years of catching up to do.
I loved your cover of the Phendrana Drifts from the later part of the medley! I’ve been trying to find a simple version (guitar or piano) of this theme but I kept encountering rocked out versions. Any chance that you could do just a Phendrana Drifts cover?
Song list guesses: Title Theme - Metroid NES Brinstar - Metroid NES Kraid's Lair - Metroid NES Surface of something - Metroid 2 Theme of Samus Aran - Super Metroid Brinstar Red Soil Swampy Area - Super Metroid Norfair Ancient Ruins - Super Metroid (I was watching television! lol) Ridley's Theme/Escape - Super Metroid Maybe something from Metroid fusion? - Metroid Fusion Metroid Prime Main Theme? - Metroid Prime ?? - No idea Maybe something from Metroid Prime 2? - Metroid Prime 2 Phendrana Drifts - Metroid Prime This was outstanding!! The outfit was a nice surprise for sure and looks really good! Did you make it yourself? I'm definitely not as familiar with Metroid music than I am with Zelda music haha but this was very enjoyable to listen to! This deserves to be seen by Nintendo and they should put this in the next game or something haha. Awesome job as usual Annalisa! :D
Hahaha thank you so much!!! You got most of those, I think you split one of the longer songs into two haha. The one two songs after Ridley is a title theme from Prime 2, which I don't think plays in the Wii trilogy version which we both play XD And no, I can't sew or craft haha I just bought the costume. I wish I had the time and energy to learn! Maybe one day
@@AnimalisaKeys Haha I see! Yeah I'm definitely not familiar enough with anything from prime 2 since I only played it once and the trilogy version like you said. Haha well it looks great so it was a great buy then! Awesome job once again! :)

The TH-cam algorithm has done you dirty. You are phenomenal and deserve to be recommended way more.

i second this. Annalisa is SO underrated. I mean cmon, epic arrangement, fantastic playing, awesome cosplay; what's not to like?!
Thank you so much!! And yeah, gotta include those quintessential atmospheric Metroid tracks :D
You are so kind :)
The part at 3:37 in Kraid's lair when it goes nuts, you absolutely crushed it! It looks really hard

Thank you! That theme deserves more love, it's freaking epic
I vibe with the Metroid soundtrack so much, and I myself am even learning some Prime songs and a song from Fusion
They're so great. I hope Prime 4 has good music! I think I heard a cool new theme towards the end of the trailer
@@AnimalisaKeys I'm also really excited for Prime 4 😁
Your hands just flow through the keys. Incredible.
Thanks, David!
Rhundas's theme always gives me feels
The brinstsr lead into norfair brought a tear out of me
Holy Cow, i didn't know that Samus can play piano !!
The Phendrana Drifts part at the end was pure bliss in my ears. 10/10
Everybody is commenting on your technique. They're all right! You play effortlessly! The dynamics, the interpretation and the seems between songs, you nailed it! ;D
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this!
How have I not heard this before. Awesome. Especially love the Gameboy Metroid II and original Metroid and Super Metroid stuff.

Thanks, Logan! :)
Amazing! When I first saw this, I was wondering how she would handle the Title screen music...I'm guessing both the sustain and attack pedals got put to some good use? I just recently subscribed, I love video game soundtrack covers! Looks like I have a few years of catching up to do.
Thanks for watching! Metroid music is especially fun to figure out how to play on piano
AMAZING!
Thanks :D
Impressive!!
Thanks!
Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks :)
I loved your cover of the Phendrana Drifts from the later part of the medley! I’ve been trying to find a simple version (guitar or piano) of this theme but I kept encountering rocked out versions. Any chance that you could do just a Phendrana Drifts cover?
Thanks! I mean I have this cover of just Phendrana. Not my best but hopefully you like it :)

This was outstanding!! The outfit was a nice surprise for sure and looks really good! Did you make it yourself? I'm definitely not as familiar with Metroid music than I am with Zelda music haha but this was very enjoyable to listen to! This deserves to be seen by Nintendo and they should put this in the next game or something haha. Awesome job as usual Annalisa! :D
Hahaha thank you so much!!! You got most of those, I think you split one of the longer songs into two haha. The one two songs after Ridley is a title theme from Prime 2, which I don't think plays in the Wii trilogy version which we both play XD
And no, I can't sew or craft haha I just bought the costume. I wish I had the time and energy to learn! Maybe one day
@@AnimalisaKeys Haha I see! Yeah I'm definitely not familiar enough with anything from prime 2 since I only played it once and the trilogy version like you said. Haha well it looks great so it was a great buy then! Awesome job once again! :)
Excellent work!!!
Phendrana Drifts you have composed very nicely better than the original!
That one was tough to adapt for piano!
I believe you.
But it turned out to be a masterpiece.
Amazing! Were you looking at something or did you just do all this from memory?
Arranged and played from memory!
@@AnimalisaKeys Wow, double amazing. Rock on! Or piano on? Piano on!
awesome!! ❤️
@@AnimalisaKeys OMG you answered me!!! im big fan of you! always is a pleasure to hear your music ♥
Great work. This is really good!!
Thank you!
lmao this is amazing. only thing that would make it better is if you rolled across the keys as a morph ball
Thanks!! XD and crush every bone in my body?! haha!
Love the suit haha!
Samus plays her ost ❤
