This marks the greatest German/Japanese collaboration since....
...ummm ...nevermind.
It's not often a comment makes me actually laugh out loud and also impresses me with how clever it is, but this one did it.
Nice one !
*AHAHAHAHAHAHAH YOUR CLEVER!!!!😆😆😆*

lmao...hahahaha
German and Japanese people share their sense of perfectionism. I think many people don't even realize how difficult it is for a native Japanese speaker to pronounce even simple German words like "Freude" or "streng" because of the different phonetics of both languages. And they are reaching a native-speaker level here. Very impressive.
I am not a native german speaker. But I know germanic laguages are almost the same. Hence why I can type this... Very impressive.
Did you just have your "Tag altered". Julian? Just asking from 2371 to 2388.
That same sense of perfectionism led to the total destruction of both these countries in the mid-1940's. Destruction for good reason.
@@philipb2134 Right. The US didn't care about WWII before Pearl Harbor happened. Then they waited another 3 years until Germany was 90% done and they had the technology to kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese without taking any risks themselves. Now explain how perfectionism lead to Pearl Harbor and your argument may begin to make sense.
@@julianmahler2388 I sense shitfuckery in WW2. Why was pearl habor evacuatet for carrier groups 3 days prior to attack. Why did Japan not hit the fuel dumps? I simulated Pearl Harbor. Nothing makes sense. Barbossa DID make sense. In a NAZI phsyco kinda way. Afganistan for 20 years made NO sense. Ukraine currently NO! No war have been justified since europe/Ussr WW2.
By the time Beethoven composed this, he was fully deaf, so he never actually heard it in his life, except in his own mind… so if he was listening from heaven, he must have been dancing with joy to hear this.
I‘m also impressed by the singers‘ perfect pronunciation of German, as it‘s not an easy language to pronounce for Japanese native speakers.
I love humanity
Boy, sometimes more than other times.
@@realPlanetb
He IS listening from heaven every time this masterpiece is played.
And he is filled with the joy he has given us, as his work glorifies God.
Living forever is true torture I sure fucking hope he still isn't up there. I hope he finally entered the black abyss.
"Complétement sourd" ??
C'est ce qu'ont affirmé les musicologues jusqu'à présent
Mais rien n'est sûr.
Assez récemment, un autre éminent musicologue (et grand spécialiste de Beethoven), Théodore Albrecht, s'appuyant sur l'étude de 137 carnets écrits de la main du compositeur, tend à prouver (27 occurrences) que si Beethoven avait l'ouïe terriblement altérée !! et en particulier à l'époque où il a composé cette 9ème, il n'était pas totalement sourd, entendant encore quelque chose de l'oreille gauche.
Et ce jusque dans ses dernieres compositions, les Quatuors, juste avant sa mort.
Bon quelque soit la véracité de l'une ou de l'autre des deux versions, ça ne change pas grand chose....
Ce : entendre encore "quelque chose" pouvant bien ressembler à du quasi rien.
This is beautiful on so many levels. I could weep, and did! Beethoven is not just for Germany, but for humanity.
Beethoven's music transcends the Milky Way. 11:11
i wept, with joy :))))
Absolutely, considering the meaning of this composition and what Japan suffered at the hands of the Western world.
Very true. Ludwig might be German but his music belongs to all of us. That was his gift 🙂

Hi, I’m a Japanese, & there is a few Japanese comment.
So I want to make sure for what this concert was held.
This concert was held after big earth quake and tsunami hit Japan & many people more than the people who joined this concert…
This is the requiem for the dead people, and also cheer from the people other areas where didn’t suffer severe damage.
So this concert was really special for us.
And I got the real meaning of the ward “soulful”.
Most of us really moved and got power from this concert.
I really respect who joined this concert & Beethoven.
My English is still bad, but hope some people understand the real meaning for this concert.
О, спасибо Вам огромное!!! Я очень хотела понять, зачем провели такое мероприятие. В чем смысл. Спасибо , что дали объяснение. И мы пришли одновременно. Вы объяснить. Я спросить. 🙏♥️
Thank you for your explaining. Your english is really good, I understood perfectly what you said :-)...
Force and courage to Japan,
A french guy
thanks for the context. much love!
Thanks for the context, appreciated and usefull
tu mensaje trajo lágrimas a mis ojos. simplemente pense q era un concierto magnífico, pero el contexto del tsunami y terremoto ademas de la conmemoración a las víctimas y sobrevivientes resalta aún más la belleza de esta gran obra. saludos desde bolivia 🇧🇴.
Did Beethoven expect 10,000 Japanese people to sing his song on the other side of the world 200 years later?
Ja
absolutely, beethoven knew he was writing for eternity. he once observed, "kings come and go, there will only be one beethoven."
No. Isn't it glorious?
I am in complete awe
The words are from Franz Schiller, but they are wonderful with the hymn to friendship and the Cherubs at the cospect of the Lord.
Beethoven knew how good he was. He was tormented (remember Heilgenstadt) but also a genius the likely of which we can see one in a millennia...
I wish Beethoven could see & hear this! Really amazing performance!
He was deaf when he wrote this.
@@AlbertAlbertB. I think even seeing this many peoples in unity and feeling vibrations caused by them would be enough.
@@qnebra Beethoven: *Cries in vibrato*
@@AlbertAlbertB. But he could imagine sounds with movements of lips and instruments and probably comprehends it better than us
@@temelreyis If he was in the concert hall, he could probably sense the vibrations created by the singers through earth and air and imagine the sounds in his head.
I'm a Japanese university student. When I was in high school, I participated in the local ninth concert twice as a choir,
This song became my favorite.
In Japan, at the end of the year, the ninth concert was held in various places, and now it has become a custom every year.
Ninth and Beethoven are very popular in Japan. I want to know the ninth more deeply, so I'm studying German at university now. I would like to participate in the concert of these 10,000 people someday!
(I'm sorry for my poor English.)🥺
Your English isn't poor at all! Gut gemacht, und ich wünsche viel Erfolg mit dem Deutsch-Studium!
Your English is fine. Thank you for your comments and best regards from Australia!
❤❤❤
It's great your English. I'm mexican and I can read it perfectly. Spanish it's my mother language.
Your english is just fine. Thank you for your words. Greetings from Germany und danke für ihre respektvolle Wahrnehmung. Liebe für Japan....
"How much for a ticket?"
"Ticket? Here's your tux! Now get out there and sing!"

"I love my Greed Dress and don't want to wear other colors"
"Okay, Sing in different ways with Others"

What Gives People Feelings Of Power?
A. Money 5%
B. Status 5%
C. Conducting for this choir and orchestra 90%
I'm agree with your opinion!
But too much people don't like FEELINGS in the heart , but more money, money, money. It's very, very sad!
Conducting that huge scale will forever stay at my dream but i know it wont ever happen
D: big boobs:-)
@@dianaberg4335 "But too much people don't like FEELINGS in the heart , but more money, money, money. It's very, very sad!"
i disagree. they like feelings. but they think, they can buy products, that cause the wanted feeling. so they want money, to buy the feelings, when they want or need them.

But first of all if blackmail and tantrums do not work, VIOLENCE comes to mind to all those Terrorists that unfortunately are in our Governments.
As a German, I have heard this piece many times. It was the first time I heard the text so cleanly and clearly. What perfection. Bravo! Arigato! 👏👏👏
Austrian here. The soloist doesn't seem to have an accent at all. Excellent.
I am Japanese and I was unaware of such an incredible concert taking place. It seems to be an annual event. The 2011 concert in this video was apparently held in support of the recovery efforts following the Great East Japan Earthquake, the worst disaster in Japanese history that occurred that same year. The reason why the conductor is so emotional at the end is probably because he cares for the victims.
After 9/11 when the world was a little less at each other's throats for a few years this was declared, by an international committee with some credentials, as the greatest piece of music ever created.
I think the earth moved again. Amazing performance.
10 000 people with a different alphabet singing your song in unison 200 years after you lived… fine, Beethoven is one of the greats.
Beethoven is in fact #1.

@@robertharris6092 not really. Most professional singers can speak German and Italian, even if they are not German or Italian.
To put together ten thousand singers execute one of humanity's most important and impressive pieces is beyond impressive. Word genuinely cannot express what a moment we just witnessed.
As a Chinese, living in US, hearing 10,000 Japanese singing a classical German piece, feeling incredible and surreal. The music is so beautiful.

Beethoven has died 191 years ago and there are 10,000 japanese singing one of his works... ain't he amazing human?
Yes
Yes, he is.
He was a Great Human!!!
I read once that Beethoven was deaf (syphilis) by the 1st time it was performed and he conducted it and he never heard it which, if true, would make him be in a pretty small group (deaf persons) to reach adulthood who has never heard it since then.
Bildungslücke
I am amazed at how they maintained such a high level of energy and acceleration with 10,000 vocalists.
THE JAPANESE ARE CALLED THE GERMANS OF THE FAR EAST WHY?JAPANESE ARE HARD WORKING , DISCIPLINE, PERFECTIONIST, CREATIVE , RESPECT FOR THEIR ELDERS THAT'S WHY. PEOPLE FROM THE WEST SHOULD NOT WONDER WHY. i DON'T JUST ADMIRE THESE HUMAN QUALITIES THEY HAVE. THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC AND TALENT YOU SHOULD TO THE WHOLE WORLD.FROM TORONTO, CANADA.
As a German myself, let me tell you their pronunciation is perfect! Very impressive.
I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians.
And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3
Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving, caring Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image.
I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people?
I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true.
Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully.
My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is incredibly eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He only wants the best for you and your well being. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is peace and hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. The Lord will lift us up in our trials and use us to bless the lives of those around us if we are willing to change.
If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up.
You are my friends. The Lord loves you and is aware of you and despite all our weaknesses and shortcomings, he still loves us and will forgive us if we will humble ourselves before Him and diligently seek correction and do whatever is needed to repent.
Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what the truth is and what is not the truth. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome and conquer your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that The Lord will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist, overcome and conquer them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly in Spiritual and physical things. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You have incredible potential. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side.
It simply would not be the same without you. That is just how much the Lord need you on His side.
Thank you for your time.
Apart from the velar fricatives.
@@jlongmasbartholomew5724 I've read the Book of Mormon and it warns about secret combinations and Gadiantons taking over in the latter days. Unfortunately the current leadership does not believe this, and declared in 2020 that its churches were "non-essential", and in 2021 demanded all its missionaries jack up a witches' brew based partly on dead babies' parts which the LDS leader Russell M. Nelson blasphemously called a "Godsend".
And now some of your members are sick and dying from that Godsend. I know one. Loyal to the last. He had trouble after the first lot, pain between his shoulders, never reported it to the doctor. Now his liver and heart are rotting away. and I don't give him two years.

I experienced that at stadium once. Very strange. Soccer/football/nations are strange in that aspect. And it was about 40000 people.

Perfect
The conductor is absolutely wonderful and really enjoying the whole thing.
I was a member of the choir. We must take 12 times lessons in order to join the performance, and we paied about $100 for the lessons. Some might think the lesson fee was a little expensive, but each lesson was very interesting and we learned a lot, so it was worth the money!
This year it will be held on December 6th with a choir of 1000 people.
You did a great job and have amazed people all over the world. Well done!
I'd gladly pay $100 to be part of something like that. One of the most incredible live music events in history!

Folks, do you even understand how priviledged we are that we are able to hear this kind of art for free?!
A literal king would have taken a months long journey to hear this 500 years ago.
That's why I always say that we live in the best time period for music. We can experience the past present and even get a glimpse of the future of music. The arts only just recently became available to everyone.
@@MsJavaWolf Beethoven didn't want any King. Music and art are a present for the humanity
Underrated
yeah, i mean Bethoven couldn't, jet I can.
Friedrich Schiller and Beethoven are smiling down from heaven
I'm German and I cry every time I hear the final chorus of the Ninth. I hereby express my utmost respect for this performance. I don't cry at this symphony just because it is so beautiful and unifying. I also cry because something so beautiful was created by Germans and today we are only a shadow of our former selves. We Germans hate ourselves. Please help us learn to love ourselves again.
I work with a young German mn, who is in Canada for about a year (he’s a wonderful young man-I’m 65) and being well-versed in world history I teased him about being German, but only because way back in the 1980’s I met two very young German tourists in a bar and they talked about the guilt they live with, which stopped me in my tracks. I told them they have nothing to feel guilty about. It made me sad that they carried the burden of a previous generation. Anyway, back to Lars; we’ve become good friends neighbours. He’s a very kind and loving person. Stop hating yourselves.
A second Friedrich the Great will come someday. A great leader for a second great age of culture.
I am not Germán but I loved and admire Deutschland since I was a kid but watching last week sub 17 football World cup I have cried a lot. Bath germans have destroy their own country!!
All humans hate themselves. Germany and Japan had that self-loathing forcibly institutionalized after a horrible war that no one now living in either nation had anything to do with. No one can change that now but learning to love God lets us love each other. The Great Germans of the past were Christian. The evil men who started that war were not. Which do you stand with? Even if you don't believe in God, learning to love Him is better than life without.
Deutschland, love yourselves as we in all the world, forgiving all horrors past, truly love whom you have become, and aspire to follow what you represent as a beacon of peace and hope in all the world today: “Oh you millions, stay embraced, this
is a kiss for all the world!”

Yeah but there are no difficult words in this text
It is UNBELIEVABLY hard to get a choir of more than 150-200 singers to perform a work like this and keep it together, yet they pulled it off with 10,000??? That's just amazing!! I was afraid it would just be a jumbled mess and it was anything but. The orchestra was immaculate and the soloists exquisite!
You should see them play 1812 Overture using artillery cannons and real church bells. Very hard to synch with the music but they did
Not only did the singers come but they also paid the equivalent of 700€ to attend.

I wish, I could some day experience this live in Japan.
Best regards from Heidelberg, Deutschland.
What makes it even more impressive, is that they are japanese, whose native tongue is tonally VERY distinctive, making most foreign languages really difficult for them to pronounce correctly, even with practice. Most likely the top soloists are conditioned into multilinguality from their earliest childhood.

@@lebidu9100 If you want you can learn the basic from watching German children's TV, they have a show which does a lot to learn kids the alphabet, numbers and various concepts like 'big' and 'small'.

"Let's start again."
In reality, the choir is divided into groups, and each group they rehearse using a Liszt transcription.
Dude its the Japanese...No one was off key.
This is unbelievable, a choir of 10.000 people that do this beautiful piece of music to it’s perfection it shows the power of the Japanese society!
This is my favorite version. Not only because the singers are amazing, but because of the shouts of joy at the end. Ode to Joy sounds incomplete to me now without them.
When Coronavirus ends,we should probably sing it. Together.
Look, I love this piece, but it is very difficult to sing. Beethoven was famously deaf, but, near the end of his life, he was also crazy! He wrote notes way too out of range for all the singers!
good idea :-)

Also, maybe rethink how you speak about humans. To call others "garbage 'people'" doesn't make you appear in a good light.
What a moving performance. The energy in that concert hall must have been incredible with so many souls lending their emotions to this amazing piece.

これは、２０１１年３月１１日の大震災を受けて、日本中の人々を元気づけるために開催されたときの映像です。
悲しみと過酷さの中にあった日本の人々を少しでも元気にしてくれました。
動画の前の人にも元気を！
my heart broke for the people of Japan in the wake of the earthquake and ensuing tsunami .. may Love and hope prevail
Jokes aside (good ones, btw), this shows how disparate cultures can enjoy and respect each others' culture in a positive way.
That's why this song should be the national anthem of the mankind someday as it says in the song.
"Alle Menschen werden Bruder"
@@Japonicasian It's the EU's
The Japanese really, really, really admire the Germans. Like, way too much.
Indeed
Well Germany and Japan were good pals in the mid thirties till 1945 so I guess it's something in the blood
As a German, I'm impressed by the perfect pronunciation, the Orchestra and the sheer number of musical talent.
What are you expecting from Toyotaland?:)nothing less then perfection!
Gratuliere die Aussprache ist perfekt ich bin ser beeindruckt. Danke.
Just appreciate that they are singing a German masterpiece.. . I am sure you can't even pronounce a Japanese word.. ok
It just shows a great musicality and an attention to the details. An amazing diction. Bravo!
Desde Bogotá Colombia impresionante que pero sección debe ser tomado para un mensaje en el planeta para la paz de la humanidad muchas gracias gracias
At the end of the video, even the conductor himself couldn't believe everything went amazing and beautiful and, I think, he got teared up as well and myself included. Such a beautiful music and wonderful performance 👏👏
As others have commented, this event took place on December 4, 2011.
The purpose of the event was "yell for TOHOKU", an attempt to cheer up the Tohoku region of Japan, which was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami.
At the time, I was living in a city very close to the Tohoku region, and the constant aftershocks that I was experiencing eight months after the main quake and the desperate news about the nuclear power plant were mentally draining, even though I was not a victim of any major damage.
The malignant stress was enough to turn my immature 17-year-old vision gray, in fact that's how the world seems to me.
Then I was able to watch this event on TV.
By the climax of the event, color had returned to my vision.
I have 10,000 people to whom I have to say "thank you".
Incidentally, the Japanese are particularly fond of the Ninth, simply because it is so exciting
Oh, and thanks for the DeepL
🥹
As a German I can only express my gratitude for such a wonderful interpretation of this German classic. Thank you to the nation of Japan for honoring us in this way
The idea of ode to joy come alive
I've never seen or heard a performer like this. I was born in Indonesia, so, this is something out of the world. Geweldig.
ich kann mich ihren Worten vollständig anschließen. Danke
@@theresabhe645 Geweldig.....habe gerade ein schönes niederländisches Wort gelernt....;)
You should be so proud! Your bloke composed the greatest piece of music the world has ever known!
Das Live hören wäre unglaublich
Hey, section 316, row L, seat 37.... you're out of tune.
@Carter Pelletier if he can play out of tune, he can play tune
😆😆😆😆😆
The Garlock it seat 39
It is seat 38 !
@Carter Pelletier Little did you know Ling Ling sang every part and played all the instruments and put the recording over the video.
Oh wow - I got shivers up my spine! Thank you all who participated. Sheer magic -
This is the kind of art humanity should be proud of and hopefully aliens will one day see this and think we are good creatures. Thank you, Beethoven!
I saw a live performance just like this in Fukuoka, Japan in 1989. The small audience in the middle was surrounded by the chorus. It was something I will never forget. I wonder if this was from the same stadium? The conductor is a true master to make this sound so wonderful. Mad respect. I can see how this piece reflects Japanese ethics of working together as a unified society and the individual is at the service of the whole of society.
I'm pretty sure aliens know about this. They were probably flying by as it was being performed;)
This large chorus of 10,000 people was sung in 2011 for pray to the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. I am sorry for my poor English.However We are grateful for much support from Germany and all over the world. 第９の歌とともに、世界へ感謝の思いが届きますように。 from Japan
tetsupon312 your English is very good! I don’t know a word of Japanse... Greetings from Belgium
Which help from Germany?
Our assistant stayed 2 days then they drive back because of the radioactive
I´m from Germany and i think we haven´t done anything for which you shut be grateful
tetsupon312 My music teacher told that the 9th symphony is usually played to pray harmony and peace. Now I get to know the real meaning of what she said. I sincerely hope the peace and harmony for japan. (👍 from korea)
I do not want a disaster to occur. And I want to make a peaceful world.
Thank you for helping me when Japan suffered the earthquake. From now on, I would like to repay. However, this feeling is not thought to all Japanese. Only that, be careful.
from Japan
P.S. I am sorry for it I difficult try to read. I am trying hard.
@Cold German Beer what got you so mad
The most incredible version of this piece that I’ve ever heard. It brought me to tears several times. Thank you!!❤
Really excellent. When you hear people singing in a language you don't understand, you can really appreciate the quality
of their voices. They really sound so great.
10000 Japanese singing a really difficult song in a foreign language wihtout loosing any of their awesomeness... A big WOW from germany
die japaner haben mehr deutschen nationalstolz als wir selbst und das is eigentlich sehr traurig ...
Was auch immer du damit meinst.
offensichtlich, dass man in japan deutsches kulturerbe mehr zu schätzen weiß als im nationalvergessenen und kulturrelativierenden deutschland
Die Japaner sind vielleicht einfach offener gegenüber fremder (deutscher) Kultur. Ich, mag den deutschen Kulturpessimismus einfach nicht.
a second big wow from germany, this people put so much efford in it . im actually really suprised how good this is . it´s not an easy language, sometime for german people too ^^ .
The choir and orchestra is amazing
just don't forget to say thanks to Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller for the ingenious lyrics
@@viktorkonon "lyrics"
Amazing work Beethoven.
You can't hear a thing anyways
@@PeterJavi underrated comment
This was the requiem for Great East Japan Earthquake. Magnitude 9, the biggest earthquakes, caused twenty thousands dead or missing.
10,000 people participated in it from Osaka venue and Tohoku venue connected by online.
The conductor Yutaka Sado did successfully bring their passion and deliver it to devastated area.
Wow the energy was overwhelming!!!
I heard a million harmonies…
What a feeling to be part of this classical phenomenon!!
The conductors emotion at the end sent tears and a chill at the end ❤
Bravo!!
Spectacular and beyond a memory never to forget !!
Thank you with love from Calgary, Canada 🇨🇦
Only two things in this ENTIRE world can bring anyone and everyone together.......
Food.....and Music!!!
Art. ❤

And Beethoven!
Tolkien Quote: If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
thanos can clear half the universe
This chorus of 10000 people was performed to pray for the souls of more than 12000 people who died in a major earthquake in 2011.
I still remember that day.
I will never forget the support and support of everyone around the world.I'm still very grateful.
Thank you for providing that information. Being made aware of it brought tears to my eyes. It was such a sad day.
Thank you for being イボ痔のQ太郎and remember us that one fact.
It made my day.
Keep doing that.
Thanks for the information it makes it even more beautiful!
This illuminated the best in us. Your explanation added even greater resonance. Thank you, Japan. Thank you, Beethoven and Schiller. Thank you Art of Music.
Danke 10.000 Mal an die japanischen Freunde!👏🤝🌻
Music is a gift from our grand creator. This is an insight into what his celestial choir must sound like. I am speechless.
This conductor is like the final boss among all the other conductors
He is "Gran Maestro" Yutaka Sado who earned the first prize upon the International Besançon Competition for Young Conductors in Besançon, France(1989). Currently, he is known as one of famous Japanese conductor.
@@croixchjn21 underrated comment.
He is fantastic, living every note….
Not hardly
Beethoven really did make music for the world
Indeed Js Bach made music for the universe
Wonderful! - music is universal and brings humanity together, we need more of this in these troubled times.
6:48 is the part most Germans associate with Freude schöner Götterfunken, but I've always loved the entire 9th so much. It has slow, silent moments, and then it absolutely escalates - in an orderly fashion. Thank you so much!
これは日本で40年間続いている伝統的なイベントです。
毎年年末になると1万人が大阪城のホールに集まって第九を歌います。
参加者は皆、この日のために一年かけてレッスンに通います。
そして祈りを込めて歌い、歌うことで他人と心を通わせることができることを確認します。

参加したい！
Truly magnificent!

Incredible. How did they rehearse? Will we ever see again an assembly of 10,000 musicians? If only Beethoven could see it. Wow.
Imagine if he could hear it!
@@chanito_nyc we that many people he probably could lmao
They do this every year in Osaka. 10,000 singers plus the orchestra.
You'll enjoy and find the answers in: th-cam.com/video/8wzXZRd087I/w-d-xo.html
Schiller would also be very happy.
An astonishing musical phenomenon. If the conductor took only one thing with him to the grave it must be a recording of this performance. I was deeply moved by the conductor's immersion in that immortal peace of music.
Herzlichen Dank Japan für die wunderbare Aufführung ❤
Was für eine starke Performance und Disziplin 😊
Do you understand the whole song?
Conductor got the best 'seat' in the house. Must have been a very powerful experience from where he was standing.
Conducting is not about power. It's about responsibility.
@@wolframflorian I think he/she was just talking about *the FEELING. 🤔🤷♀️
@@wolframflorian "powerful" has more than the meaning you are familiar with. It can also mean "strong/moving/intense". In this instance, the conductor's experience (as in, personal experience) would have been intense, very impactful, strong, etc. That's how the original poster was using the word.
Hope this helps.
Must've been an absolute bummer in rehearsal.
To sit in that chair throughout the concerto would be a life changing , cherished moment for a true music lover.
I'm a musician from Germany who also was part of the Gewandhaus choir and singing this Sinfonie and I'm so touched by this video. the commitment of the conductor.. I honestly cry every time I watch the ending, you can tell how much this Sinfonie means to the conductor. He is just amazing and gives all his heart. Also the big choir. They learned all the german words, they applied to be in the concert. ❤️
Musicians all over the world are simply the same, music just overcomes all the diffrences. And I'm so happy to see how music can unite us all, from Asia to Europe, to America. ❤️ 'Alle Menschen werden Brüder' (all people become brothers and sisters) it says in the Sinfonie. And it's right.
Danke
You nailed it👍🤝
I think Beethoven totally agree with you.
World hearts make the same music of the great man unitedly.
Danke
No one has mentioned the fact get a Japanese Ambassador in Russia during WWII gave Japanese visa to German musicians so they could go to Japan. This began their love for classical and particularly German music. Yes they are perfectionists and so very accurate and skilled. They are serious concert goers. What a joy that this music brings it together!
A gift to the world, Thank you Japan, from the Philippines.
If he could have heard this, Beethoven would be proud.
Chaplopia he heard through floorboards and other things. Sounds actually travel better through solids, not gases.
な訳ねえじゃん、冒涜だ。
I believe he do hear this, but this song itself is a worship, he awesome He, people awesome he
I'm pretty sure he would've been pissed. He would've demanded the exact number of singers as he wanted there to be.
No, it started at the age of 25 or so. And he was not deaf in an instant. It took years. But he wasn't able to hear his 9th symphony. That's correct.
Ich bin begeistert. - Das hätte Ludwig van Beethoven nicht geahnt als er in seinem Kämmerchen die Noten zu Papier brachte, dass die Synphonie 200 Jahre später am anderen Ende der Welt von 10.000 Menschen aufgeführt wird. Auf deutsch.
😂👌
Ich bin ebenfalls begeistert
C K finde es aber schön und respektvoll von Japan
Und mit so viel Leidenschaft
What a fantastic performance by 10000 Japanese choirs and all is well in the world 🌎 der Welt Beethoven would be so proud to hear this, and Friedrich Schiller! All the people to be brothers! Alle menschen! Bravo 👏 bravissimo love ❤️ to Japanese people love ❤️ only live brotherhood
Estaba muriendo y en mis últimos momentos me la pasaba escuchando este video y otra vez, gracias a Dios salí adelante y no Mori. Agradezco mucho este video y cada uno de los integrantes de esta orquesta 10,000 veces muchas gracias
God bless you
what happend to you😅
Being part of orchestra, back in my time in music school, was THE most amaizing thing i've ever done in my life. During youth orchestra festival in Hungary, at the finale, we had perform few bits with all participants - i think it was like 15 full string orchestras on one stage and it was INSANE!
I can only imagine chills along the spine of all participants of this insane peformance, especially in moments like from 6:42. I'd wish i could be there to whitness this.
Why did i only come across this piece after 11 years. Thank you for upload.
Mad respect for the conductor who orchestrated this. Conducting a regular orchestra is hard enough; conducting a 10,000 choir is unimaginable.
Legendary
When Germany and Japan collab again after 66 years.
You mean 75 years.
Where are Italians? :)
Lol
OMG LMAOO

All hands down to the Conductor, All the very Finest Musicians & to All the 10,000 Choirs, Woahhh! First time I've watched this it makes my skin all standing! This is soooo Superrrb All in its Highest form of Music!!!
Chills! I got chills!! They say that classical music conductors live the longest of those of any other profession - and you can certainly see why here! Gorgeous - domo arigato gosaimasu!! 🥰
Hello I’m Japanese
There is the reason why we did such a thing.
Because the damage of 3.11 2011,
We were despair to reconstruction of Japan.
Then someone thought
“Why don’t we sing Beethoven 9th
Ode to Joy with 10000people?”
That’s why we sang and listened the music.
I was part of the American relief efforts in the region at the time. I’ve never seen anybody come together in a crisis the way the Japanese did in that moment. I never felt so humbled by circumstances, and never so inspired to work so hard. After all, there were men and women sharing what little resources they had with the evacuees of Sendai, the least I could do was help make sure those supplies got to them. I saw many nations come together to help Japan in its time of need, but nothing so impressed me as the Japanese ability to help one another. There’s seemingly a kind of ingrained sense of community and obligation to one another we don’t have here in the U.S. it is a powerful force, one that has and will continue to lead Japan through even the darkest days, and into a bright future.
It's actually a japanese tradition since 1983, every December.
96 people needn't feed the troll
@@stefano8936 kinda funny tho
@@bruh7130 what 96 who?
At 6:49 I just imagine Beethoven entering the pearly gates, the angels singing this masterpiece as he hears it for the first time. I cried for this entire video, just beautiful.
This is peak humanity.
Not to be cynical, but as a composer, I imagine Beethoven would have initially cringed at what he heard and beat himself up over a thousand irrelevant details. Maybe it would grow on him after a few years.
Another counter point, who's to say that we won't get to heaven and hear it as Beethoven heard it, to really know its beauty in the same conditions of its creation.
@@benjamingardner3314 i mean the time he died he was deaf so probably wouldn’t hear anything
@@benjamingardner3314 or probably he would be surprised his music is still going around after hundreds of years. Even many little details went off, it is understandable for him and he'd still be grateful that his music still lives.
@@Streepie21 Well no I think the idea is that he'd get back his hearing as he enters the pearly gates. If you're still denied your greatest, perhaps only wish when going to heaven, that kinda turns it into hell instead.
Bravo. Bravo. This is magnificent. I think only Japan could have put together such a perfect performance. We are grateful.
This performance gave me chills. Sublime. The hours of practice this must have taken.
The first performance of Beethoven's 9th in Japan was done by the German POWs of WW1 in the Bando POW camp in Naruto city, 30 minutes drive from my hometown. Later, it has become our tradition that Beethoven's 9th be played in every year-end in many cities throughout Japan.
The POWs in Bando were permitted to go out of the camp quite freely and they interacted with the local people.
Many of the Germans were common people such as bakers, carpenters, mechanics, farmers ... Some taught their professional skills to the local people. So Baumkuchen has become one of our favorite sweets.
They were earning money by teaching, doing jobs or selling the products from the firms and factories of the camp. Some of them became richer than the local people.
Some were amateur musicians and taught playing musical instruments to the locals.
The German musicians formed an orchestra.
After the signing of the peace treaty, the governor of the camp, Colonel Toyohisa Matsue (松江豊寿), made a speech to the Germans, "Now there is no friend and foe...".
The orchestra played Beethoven's 9th for the people in and out of the camp. All POWs being men, the female chorus part had been arranged for men.
On Nov. 27th 2011, the German president Christian Wulff visited the camp site and paid floral tribute to the cenotaph of the POWs who died during the interment. The cenotaph has been taken care of by the local people.
Today, one of the biggest meat product manufacturers in Japan has its roots in what the locals learnt from the German POWs.
The heritages of the German POWs are now deeply rooted in our country. Beer, sausage, Baumkuchen ... and Beethoven's 9th.
Thanks for sharing. Greeting from Germany!
Agradecemos el compartir la historia y para la HISTORIA.
man this is wonderful to read, very inspiring what people can achieve in friendship and cooperation!
Greetings from Germany! (and enjoy your delicious Baumkuchen!)
I really need to visit japan. Love from Germany 🙋♂️
Very interesting!! Thanks for sharing!
As a German, I am incredibly proud that so many people, so far away on the other side of the world, have implemented such a song so powerfully and perfectly...just goosebumps!!
We are all human friend, music is the universal language across all cultures and people along with mathematics. All people from all cultures have contributed to those shared human experiences. We are far more similar then we are different , never forget that ☺️
No offense but your country seems to be going to sht. You're banning speech on a terrifying level. 😬
seems you did not understand the lyrics despite being in your natural language.
@@mookiestewart3776 私もあなたの 言葉に賛成です。✨
@@Proud_Troll Banning speech? Bullshit. There isn't anything like that over here. There are many people who say their speech is getting banned and germany is becoming a dictatorship , while they are healthy and can say their opinion openly without fear of getting harmed. While in a true dictatorship they would have died long ago.
There is a certain group of populists (people who incite peoples' fears, but offer no solution) who incite the people. Due to them getting money from Russia you can tell what kind of people they are.
Edit: Germany going shit by developing politically in a worse direction is true though, due to those Nazi populists.
Simply put, one of the greatest musical compositions in the history of mankind. ❤
No me salen palabras,amo a Beethoven,es mi amor incondicional.
Soy hijo de padre Japones y de madre latinoamericana de origen Vasco.

Can't imagine how awsome it must have sounded live in the arena... They should go on tour around the world. Just need 700 airplanes for transportation lol
Awesome and almost scary too, at the beginning, when they all rise to their feet at once.
Lol
Hmm, more like 70 planes. Still, your point is hilarious! 😉
ha ha ha
Where would the audience sit?
This is probably how Beethoven intended it to be played. Very Big . As big as the universe ! As big as all of creation. Hats off to the Japanese for nailing it! and the conductor for putting it all together. BRAVO!!! You done Ludwig Von proud!
I stumbled over this masterpiece and by the lovely comments I found out that this is an annual event in Japan? Did I read right??? TenThousand singers!!!???
A heartfelt "Arigato" from my side.
And greetings from a Berliner. When it was played on New Years Eve after the Berlin Wall came down, the whole croud around Brandenburg Gate wept tears of joy. No single eye left dry. Soooo powerful, sooo timeless. Kisses and Love to all of you out there in the "net".
私は日本人です。何を歌っているのかわかりませんが、地球が最高地点に達したときに歌われる歌のように聞こえました。地球人全員で歌える日が来たらゴールだと思いました。
歌詞をよく読んだら、その美しさがなおも美しくなるでしょう。全人類が幸せと同胞の精神を図ると希望する歌詞。なおそれぞれの違いと過ちを認め喜んだ心ですべてを許す慈しみを達しようとする。１万人の日本人がこんな歌詞をそんなに綺麗に歌い遂げるとは、実に素晴らしいと思います。

Jonis stfu
Jonis this joke became old a decade ago
My guy, Jonis, it’s the cross-race effect, search it up. The tendency to recognize the differences within faces of your own race, compared to other races. That’s why sometimes Asians think white people all look the same too.
Jonis They look the same to you cus theyre a different race that you didnt grow up with. White people look incredibly cookie cutter to me. It’s not really a hard concept to understand
