A history tribute to SHIKI, the legendary BMS creator who's had a huge impact on rhythm games and is responsible for works such as SEPIA, AIR, Lapis and Pure Ruby.
oh my god...
his life was so tragic, I had no idea about his childhood. Oh my god...
I remember when he released his last song, I thought that was his triumphant comeback to the BMS scene ;;
I was shocked when I read the news (finally confirmed)
SHIKI's found peace, he was is and forever will be one of BMS' pillars.
may his soul rest in peace
Air was THE song that not only got me into VSRGs, but also in Trance music in general
I almost cried the moment I found out Shiki had passed away. RIP to a rhythm game legend.
I only started listening to SHIKI's music a few days ago, but both Pure Ruby and Lapis have been getting looped a lot during that time, and thanks to using TH-cam Music, this video showed up on my TH-cam home. It's a shame to have lost a great artist, his music really is great, but I am glad I was able to find his works, and I hope more people can too
I love Trance and Artcore, even though I'm getting into it a decade after it stopped being popular. I found SHIKI's work a month ago, only to learn he had passed. Rest in Peace, SHIKI. Your music is still finding it's way into people's hearts.
Thanks a lot for this video. This was very informative for me especially as someone who has loved his music since middle school. Knowing his backstory finally made sense to me as I always sensed that something wasn't right with him. As do you, I too wish he is at a better place now.
Yeah, I had a feeling as well which is why I decided to dig as deep as possible. Glad you got something out of it man, thanks for watching!
I didn't know about shiki before ;-; I'll probably hear his music later
Highly recommended, his music is amazing
Ya as mentioned before Lapis made into the World Extend pack in Arcaea but SDVX and Chunithm also got a couple Shiki crossovers like Jupiter and Air
This is a fantastic video about SHIKI and he is definitely one of my favorite BMS composers, if not my favorite. It is hard to pick one favorite track from him. But I think my three most played tracks by him in BMS are definitely: Lapis, Sepia, and Angelic Layer. SHIKI's impact on music games is legendary and he'll forever be known as a legend. RIP SHIKI, may he rest well now.
Those 3 songs are all great choices. Thanks for watching man, and of course RIP to the legend 🙏
R.I.P SHIKI
I like Sepia, AIR, Lapis, Jade Star (1,2) , Pure Ruby , Babylon , Angelic Layer, Chaser, Mercury Lamp
Finally have time to watch this. R.I.P SHIKI.
I'm not a huge fan of him, in fact I only know him because his song Lapis appear in Arcaea.
It's still pretty sad to see someone so talented passed away.
Thank you for this video that make me know more about this awesome composer.
Btw, I notice that between 17:27 and 20:39 the subtitles are gone, maybe you should check about it.
IIRC, SHIKI had used the alias "S" in his very early days (probably in 2002)...
I was so surprised to learn that he looked up to -45 and had worked with the legendary Vocaloid artist amyu/fatp/D.S.L...
Good night, SHIKI. May you rest in peace.
I only listened to the song "Pure Ruby" and was not a fan of SHIKI. But now I will remember this guy. Heartbreaking story. Thanks author!
I have not heard much of SHIKI's works but I did really like Rose quartz also just going to say
Rest in Peace SHIKI you will be remembered thank you for your music.
Rest in pieces Shiki you are our legend!!
I once found one of Shiki's songs in a game called "SG:R" or "Star Glitcher ~ Revitalized", I would listen to their music everyday, so as going to school. But the time I found out they are dead, I was sad so, I mourn the lost of my fav song artist by listening to their music. Their song, "Rose Quartz" is in the game, it brings me memories of the game before they 6 month shut down. Yet, I still felt the presence of Shiki near me.
Note: My fav songs from them is the full album Cristierra, its a good album and must recommend and ngl, AIR hits harder than the real AIR we breathe now
Would love some history of -45's work if possible, thank you, this was amazing ^^
I'll see what I can do, thanks for watching! :)
Thank you for your hard work and amazing videos. Finally I can learn more about my favorite artists. Previously, I ran into a language barrier and lack of knowledge of resources with information about these musicians. Low bow.
aaaa I am not familiar with SHIKI very much, not even with his music... but I do know that he was the most influential artist _ever_ in the rhythm gaming world, so when I saw void's tweet it still really hit me. I remember just last year, he participated in BoFXVI, but it feels so unreal now?? Thank you for making this video so plebs like me can know more background about SHIKI. RIP, you will be remembered.
SHIKIさんの曲は幼少期の記憶を掘り起こしてくれるので大好きです。 ありがとうSHIKIさん
love love love -45
RIP SHIKI
never heard of this artist, but his music is fucking great, very sad he passed away. ill probably map one of his songs for beat saber. may he rest in peace 🙏
I'd love to see that 🙏
@@rinnythe16th i can link it when im done 😳
Ayyy go for it my guy
@@Binginator yes give me the link i’ll play it and put it on my channel
@@mr_hungis617 chances are itl take me a bit but when im done ill link it here
I can't believe how his life went that route right from his childhood and he endured so much. Everything he worked on made more sense now...
Man, I wish I know about him before this video, because I actually like his music (or at least, the snippets that I heard here). Rest in peace, SHIKI.
By the way, do you know where I can get high-quality versions of his music?
You can find high quality versions of his BMS on his Soundcloud (in the desc), and you can find all the songs from the Cristierra album on Spotify (which have the majority of his works anyways). Otherwise you'll have to search around TH-cam/NicoNico.Thanks for watching man :)
genuinely one of my favorite artists of all time. I remember listening to alot of his songs like Xecus, Sepia, Jade Star, METATRON, etc and it got me through alot of stuff. Rest in peace SHIKI, your music will be remembered
Shiki's music makes me feel really happy and nostalgic, i still listen to his masterpieces from time to time while i'm traveling or taking a break from studies. Thank you for everything you've done up until now. We will miss you.
Triangle Girl’s Heart captivated me back in 2011, and still does even on 2022.
To think I only discovered of his passing JUST NOW because of a joke tweet… I can’t believe it.
Lapis was my favorite from him, I never even knew he was gone, until now :(
Beautiful video
...
SHIKI's trance music is excellent. Cold Breath sounds so nostalgic for me. it seems to me i listened this melody many years ago though i heard about SHIKI only in 2021.
and thank YOU for video!
Great vid as always, I'm shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Thank you so much for discovering the humanity behind the music we've loved for years, and thanks especially for being brave enough to cover a history so tragic. I think I'm gonna play air in stepmania in memorium, and appreciate the bittersweet nostalgia of it all
Glad I could share it man, thanks so much for watching. I wish I had discovered Air earlier, such a great song
rip shiki
Firstly, thank you so much, RinnyThe16th, for creating this video. This was recommended amongst me listening to some of his music today, and I am glad to see a video such as this, memorializing his work and lifting up his legacy.
I first encountered SHIKI's music through StepMania (SM) back in 2005 or so. AIR was my first song I had ever heard, and MY GOD-the feelings of euphoria and intrigue upon my first listen outside of the game were so intense, I still get hype when I hear the song to this day. I was HOOKED, and he instantly became one of my favourite artists within the genre. I ended up coming across more of his music through the keyboard packs I used to play in SM, namely Cold Breath and Sepia.
Around the same time as I found those songs, I was made aware of Lunatic Rave (2, at the time), and SHIKI's music website. As someone with little to no access to IIDX, learning about the both of these things at the same time was a HUGE point of joy, and opened a whole new realm for me to explore. In finding tunes to play within his website, I came across A BEAUTIFUL WINGS. Your description of that song within this video pretty much perfectly sums up my sentiments with this song, and it still sits among my favourite songs of his (in the company of AIR, Rose Quartz, and Angelic Layer).
I hadn't played LR2 in ages, and was playing SM significantly less by the time 2020 rolled around, but I still quite often found myself listening to his music, and started to keep up with his releases again, since they were placed on Apple Music. I was glad to be keeping up with his recent works again. Thus, hearing the news of his passing truly gutted me. It was an enormous loss for the Rhythm Game community, still felt today. I legit cried both upon hearing his passing AND after playing Angelic Tears in DJMAX with their heartwarming message for him.
I am so grateful for his heart, mind, and his willingness to share his beautiful works of art with the world. SHIKI will never be forgotten, and his memory shall echo eternally through the soundscapes he's left behind. May he continue to rest, peacefully.💙
damn you really pulled out the Spiral Knights OST for this one... maximum nostalgia
Great video. RIP SHIKI.
My favorites are Air and Angelic Layer.
I cant believe I am 1 week late to this amazing video...
Rest in peace, SHIKI.
Its never too late my guy, just glad you enjoyed :)
bro, im 1 year late to this amazing, 1 week is NOTHING
really good documentary, rip shiki
I am surprised your use of ready room , I played spiral knights 2011 and that song stuck with me ever since
Finally, someone recognises the legend
@@rinnythe16th its beautiful, i seriously never forgot that song since I played the game so many years ago
Rest in peace SHIKI, thank you for making the best songs you have provided for all these years.
God I absolutely love his music, RIP you absolute legend.
As a rhythm game enthusiast, I came across some of SHIKI's earlier works years back when I was still playing Stepmania and quite thoroughly enjoyed them without really knowing it was SHIKI's all along until I grew up learning and understanding English and found Osu / Etterna and got addicted to the one song Rose Quartz. After watching this video, I believe I have learned to appreciate his music a lot more on a sentimental level. Thank you very much for your tribute, and may SHIKI's legacy lives on forever.
A mutual of mind shared your video. Time flies by. I never herd of Shiki until the news dropped, but I remember downloading a StepMania pack called Mintmania and it introduced me to Touhou culture and, Air by Shiki. My favorite to play. It’s really sad, but the memories and history are not forgotten.
rest in peace shiki
Favorite song is either endless dream, beautiful wings, or air
Its almost another death anniversary for Shiki and i wish to have a history of rhythm game artists for him since he has appeared multiple times in SDVX and osu. Aswell as Beatmania iidx copula
MARENOL, cauz this got me into see BMS world... Then, i found - JUPITER - by SHIKI from BOF2004.. that's good music, but not really like it, but i just found "Lapis" and "pure ruby" from BOF2008, that's music make falling in love with his music, and always search it for more SHIKI music. and from discord, i was know he dead 11 months ago. really makes me sad, all the songs he made beautiful it also became mixed with sadness. I just wanted to get to know SHIKI a little more, then I found this video! Thanks a lot for this video
RIP shiki thank you for making our hands die :(
I never knew shiki at all since my love of rhythm games grew, but I know he's in a better place now.
Edit: I just listened to sepia and setsuna by miku! And I loved it, a lot. I want the world, the WHOLE world to listen to his music in his memory. Everyone who is a fan of him, I respect you all. Everyone who didn't know who he is, I suggest to listen to his songs. It has a deeper meaning, and I'm so happy for that.
i havent known about shiki before or even trance/bms music in general, but now that i know, im sad as all hell. if i were there while he was alive, i would encourage him as much as i can. his work is amazing. and altho i never knew him, its sad to see him go.
Rest in peace shiki
I luv lapis
I'm sorry for his childhood
Great video, very informative and high production quality for a channel your size. Rest in peace SHIKI
Rest in peace SHIKI, may you now be the leader of heaven's orchestra
RIP shiki, my favorites are air, angelic layer, and sepia.
Sepia is my favorite too.
Amazing video. Would you be able to make a video about beatMARIO/COOL&CREATE?
just wanted to say nice work, had hoped someone would make a brief vid on shiki's legacy and how influential he really was on bms music, doujin music, and modern otoge music (as bland or common as it may be becoming now).
also wanted to comment on trancecore, it's basically what the japanese called freeform trance back in those days, typically freeform is 190+ bpm, this is too fast for regular trance music that typically sits between 130-150. freeform hardcore also sits around that 190+ bpm region but is a bit different in sound but has very similar characteristics.
i'm proud to be an early supporter of his works and still own most of the earlier trance album up till dramatic irony. he's sent them to me personally when i mailed him over a decade ago when my japanese wasn't at a comfortable level yet, very nice guy. i wasn't too fond of the vocal works but wish i had bought some of the GILDIA albums. it wouldn't be a stretch to say that i may have never gotten into doujin music in 2006 without shiki, learned japanese, and may have never met certain people online, so thanks where ever you are now.... recently i saw trancer doll's up for 4500 yen in the suruguya store, so i think some people are catching on to this bms legend....
some other tidbits after fully watching the vid that weren't mentioned for a bit more context: AKITO is -45 (yoshikawa), Red person or 赤い人 is REDALiCE that runs Hardcore tano*c still, also if I recall correctly, manbow/groundbreaking is run by a person called siratama that also runs STR label, among others. these circles and people all still exist to this day, and -45 as well as zts are still legends in their own ways that are still alive that have composed parts of the umineko sound novel, incredible incredible people all of them. also the people who have worked on the bms bga like for babylon, tohru mitsuhashi still makes videos and art/album illustrations. there is a lot more i could write down here as I've been active around those days too, I even still remember SHIKI's real name, but I'm not sure that's what he or his family wants going around...
wait the fuck? akito and -45 are the same people?!?!??? that explains why it seemed like akito just faded into nothing after dropping critically acclaimed bms music
algorithm lead me to this and I'm glad I found this channel.
This guy is so underrated, thanks for your efforts.
お疲れ様でした、SHIKI。ご冥福をお祈りします……
MY TOP 5
1.Rose Quartz
2.Angelic layer
3.Jade Star
4.Orfevre
5.Sepia
found him through djmax respect v, from angelic tears
I'm pretty sure that the music played at 18:03 was a version of Night Ignition with vocaloid rythms and it was never heard antwhere before.
And those seven music from Lapis to Mercury Lamp was a doujin impression music of the Rozen Maiden which may be Shiki's favourite anime. Those seven song names were the female protagonists of the anime.
Pure ruby
I played the song LUCIA in the game maimai
Now I see why SHIKI found peace in the afterlife 😢
RIP
I remember the day the news was confirmed a lot of osu! multi games had his music
Air is still my favourite
I remember when i play babylon on bms and stream
Easily become one of my favorite trance music lol
Rip Shiki
SHIKI actually died at 40 years old, so this means he was born in '81
🛐
how did shiki died?
Look it up, it's sad.
@@diaquallo he says from luffy
shame were all *DOOMED* to being pawns for the suits having to shake hands, to sign away our craft to scummy companies to the media many of us all over love anime knows that for sure.
This artist stuff isn't my type tho i hear nice vibes from it to as with wowaka to many artist or anyone who left a impact on you in any way *THEIR NEVER TRUELY LOST OR FORGOTTEN*
Truly unfortunate to lose such a talented and aspiring musician like Shiki at such a young age, a shame I only discovered his works thanks to Virtual Self back in 2018.
His influence in the Artcore/J-Trance and even the Neotrance community will live on 🙏🖤🤍
