No "might" about it. You've been my soundtrack for the past few days at work. Anyone who hasn't listened to the FF IV soundtrack, what are you waiting for? Go listen!
I met Yasunori in Tokyo many years ago and learned Japanese just so I could tell him how much his music meant to me. One of my violins autographed by him.
That's so cool! Actually, that's similar to one of the reasons I've started learning japanese too. To be able to communicate with cool japanese composers. How did you learn it, and how far did you go? ありがとう ございます。
@@igorcabrera7526 yes he is, he just recently composed the ost for the latest xenoblade game. It's also cool to know that Sea of stars, an upcoming rpg by a canadian studio, will feature some of his compositions
Lol there is like a 8 year old vid of some high school guys playing this on piano flute and violin all together I think they were the first ones to do the full album but this is also very impressive
My 2023 Wrapped on Spotify: Spotify: Here are your top artists. #1 Nobuo Uematsu. Me: No duh. Who do we have next? Yoko Shimomura? Yasunori Mitsuda? Spotify: #2 Animalisa Keys. Me: What??? No way! She beat them?! Apparently, I've listed to your Chrono Trigger album more than Mitsuda's Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross compositions, so I just wanted to say BRAVO for making one of my favorite things on Spotify.
Oh my goodness :'D haha thank you SO much for listening on Spotify!! Nobuo Uematsu was also my number one this year, probably 'cause I'm looking at covering more FF
Wow! You put so much effort into this! Bravo! So beautiful! Even dressing up as Marle! I got this game when I was a teenager on release day back in 1995. So many memories. Thank you! 👏 👏 👏
I don't know what motivated you to do this, but I'm very grateful that you did. This soundtrack has been my favorite collection of music since I was 10 years old and your piano arrangements are some of the best renditions of this music I've heard.
10 years old? That makes you what, 38? Welcome, brother, to the Autumn of our lives, when we can look back at our wonderful spring and those who can invoke its wonderment! And to our maestro of the keys, my hearts thanks 🙏
The compulsion to create...called them into battle...and I'm sure this endeavor was a MASSIVE undertaking. They said "Yes, I will do this [Really Hard Thing]. I'm gonna do it." *Does it. And we're amazed. This book by Stephen Pressfield gave me this perspective- "The War of Art." And my own artistic journey has compelled me to reply to this comment it seems.
Yep. There's something so therapeutic about Chrono Trigger. It takes you through an emotional journey as you play. All of these wide, grand, triadic voicings, but then you get little folk melodies like "Guardia Millennial Fair" or "Robo's Theme," and it brings you back home, where your mother gives you a big hug. I played the heck out of this game when I was having health issues, and it was like playing inside a painting.
Sometimes she actually switches off between her right hand and left hand to play the middle (usually melody) voicing while somehow keeping the lower bass and the upper register going in our ears. Quite magical!
This is my 2nd comment. This performance literally brought tears to my eyes. This OST is a time capsule to so much more peaceful days in my life. This will be played in the background ALOT! Thank you so much for putting this together truly so beautifully done.
Thank you for doing this. I'm in the middle of a business trip with a colleague from Japan who likes Chrono Trigger. You've been our soundtrack during long drives. ❤
i know I've said a zillion times how insanely awesome and wonderful this is, but really I can't say it enough!! I hope you get all the eyes and ears on this utterly fantastic project, especially from the Chrono fans, because you absolutely deserve it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
To hear this OST arranged with such care and precision warms my heart to the core! Like another commenter, I found this game when I was going through a rough time... Specifically a traumatic childhood. The OST was one of the only things that brought me joy. The variety and complexity of the tracks, the contrast between the melancholy and euphoric, gave me comfort and hope to continue living when I knew only pain. In listening to your arrangement I feel like I'm discovering this awe and amazement all over again. I can't thank you enough for posting this and am so grateful to have stumbled on your page.
The secret is I recorded this in multiple sessions ;) My 1 hr Zelda medley though was a single take...messed up a few times in that one lol I am FAR from perfect
@@AnimalisaKeys I know that secret ;) not trying to sugarcoat, but you're what I'd say good enough in my opinion just like every other Pianist youtubers. keep up the good work, there's always room for improvements as always :D
i m from japan i m amazed that foreign people knows chrono triger.and also play the piano so nicely.thank you for loving japanese piano yamaha and japanese game!
Music box theme always destroys me. That style is perfect for certain moments in drama. They can make you forget that they're all characters. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
I can't believe I just found this. Chrono Trigger is my favorite soundtrack of all time. I love this. The faithful arrangements being played so beautifully and emotionally invoke such strong feelings in me. I was moved to tears multiple times. Most of the original soundtracks' gems all shine just as bright in these arrangements - Wind Scene, Secret of the Forest, Kingdom Trial/The Hidden Truth, The Day the World Revived, Epilogue - To Good Friends/To Far Away Times. But my favorite is At the Bottom of Night - I might like it better than the original. Excellent job all around. You have incredible talent. Thank you for creating this. I feel so fortunate to have been alive when games like Chrono Trigger were made by pioneering creatives, inspiring a generation of creative and fans, and still alive when labors of love and talent such as this one are made available in high fidelity for free.
Your music is so gorgeous and moving. I am a former oboist myself; I performed as principal oboist for three years at the University of Arkansas. Thank you for sharing your talent. My wife and I listen to your piano music as I work on my graduate studies.
Wow. What a treat! Thank you! The whole album is terrific, and there are so many surprising moments. Your love for the soundtrack shows in your sensitive arrangement, phrasing, and dynamics. Often, when I hear arrangements of soundtracks like this, I think, “That was nice, but next time I’ll just listen to the original.” But here you managed to capture not just the melody and chords, but the emotion-the essence of the songs. So beautiful, and so satisfying. Several times I felt like I was hearing what Mitsuda and Uematsu have been trying to tell me for decades, but couldn’t because of the hard limits of the SNES’s S-SMP chip. I’ll never hear Silent Light the same way again. Black Omen was similarly stunning. Also I love that you included the “mysterious box” zinger. Nice. Thanks again!
Unbelievably, incredibly, amazing. Every single intricate musical detail of every song, even some instrumental voices and flourishes that I thought impossible to emulate on piano, and you've somehow done it without missing a single beat across what seems like endless layers, and all in one playthrough at that. Even accurately conveying the almost entirely atmospheric pieces like Ruined World; I swear I could hear the wind howling! I also loved how you put your own touch on the songs to more efficiently close out what would otherwise be a continuous loop. I am in utter disbelief. Thank you for sharing your gift.
😭😭😭 thank you so much for the beautiful comment!!! Although I definitely recorded this over many different sessions, but I guess that means my video editing was pretty smooth :D
First of all, Bravo. This is not only some of your best work, but some of the best piano on youtube. Secondly, I want to thank you for making this. I first played Chrono Trigger in late 2020 (better late than never?), and Chrono Trigger music is what first led me to your channel (your Secret of the Forest cover IIRC) so it seems fitting (to me) that you uploaded the whole soundtrack to this game. Anyway, while I'm sad that this (probably) means there will be no more Chrono Trigger uploads, I'm really happy that you made this, and I can't wait to see what comes next
This is absolutely incredible. Chrono Trigger has been one of my favourite games since I was first introduced to it many years ago, and the feel of each one of these is absolutely spot-on. Amazing attention to detail and beautiful playing! My hat is off.
Thank you so much!! I only first played the game about 5 years ago, but was instantly in love! it means a lot to me when someone enjoys this who played the game as a kid :)
Super talented player. And what a great choice, Chrono Trigger the greatest sound track of all time maybe. as someone who plays music and guitar i appreciate the little things you strive to keep in the songs, little melodies in the back ground that you might not always be able to keep going because of limitation of two hands but you bring back in when you get free space. Very cool.
Thank you so much!! Yeah it was a real challenge, Mitsuda loves a good bass line, a cool ostinato, then a melody on top, and fill/harmony....that's like 4 things and I have 2 hands haha!
It's rare for performances to move me, this really has and you've brought so many memories and feelings flooding back to life with this. This game was a cornerstone of my early teens and you've given the soundtrack the love and effort it deserves. Look forward to more of your projects!
This is available on all major streaming platforms in two parts!!!! songwhip.com/animalisakeys/chrono-trigger-complete-soundtrack-on-piano-part-1 I also play live on Twitch regularly: www.twitch.tv/animalisakeys Xenogears Piano Collection: th-cam.com/video/Cua6ZrFIdWM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ky4HOTSTLcmEhWc4
Three voicings with only two hands!! This is the most dynamic piano cover of the OST I’ve seen in youtube! This gave the soundtrack a whole new life with your renditions. Absolutely phenomenal!
Easily the best cover/piano album I've ever heard! I love every single song to an insane degree. I know for a fact that I'll be listening to it the rest of my life! Thanks
This was simply amazing! Your adaptations are gorgeous and inspired, I can't remember the last time I've been this impressed with a CT cover! Great job!
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and heard. I love Chrono Trigger. And I’m a pianist too, so this, this is so special to me. Thank you so much ❤️
By some great fate, the mood to listen to some Chrono Trigger covers struck me before embarking on my long commute home. Naturally, I load up a personal favorite "Brink of Time" arranged and performed by Animalisa Keys when I see - you did the whole ost.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It's just what I needed to light my soul on my dreary, rainy, grey skied drive home and into house chores. Thank you for sharing your gift, your passion, and your love of incredible music and allowing these things to be a part of my own life's soundtrack. You rock
I'm up to the 1 hour mark. Every 10 minutes I hit the like button because I forget that I already liked it, then I have to press it again. Maybe TH-cam should enable something like a MEGALIKE.
I know that pianists have the incredible ability to play scores without the need of sheets; I don't even know how to put this correctly in words, but, in my opinion, when I see a talented pianist making use of sheets, it seems so charming and delicate! Great work, you filled my day with joy and happiness!
The trial is absurdly intricate for a video game song on snes. The transitions and the last build up is comparable to a lot of great classical themes. I could see this in the magic flute from mozart haha. Great playing, thanks for the video! :D
Dude, that's so accurate!!! It also sounds rather pretentious to me XD and it's supposed to be! I imagine myself as a self-righteous judge about to condemn someone to death for rescuing a princess, haha. Thanks for listening!!
Absolutely beautiful. Classic after classic. No doubt the best video game soundtrack ever. And great costume to boot! 😺 EDIT: Gotta call out that left hand on World Revolution.
This is absolutely incredible. You can see that there was a tremendous amount of work and attention to detail preparing this entire album, and it's played in one sitting no less! I have been enjoying listening to this everyday for work. Thank you so much for the practice and effort you put in to make this a reality!
I'm so glad you like it!!! I actually recorded this over several sessions (I wish I could play it all at once perfectly, but no) but I'm happy the final video looks smooth haha!
Even my cat liked your interpretation, she doesn't leave my side and stays quiet while I work listening to your music! Thanks for calming down my cat, I really appreciated it !
@@AnimalisaKeys My cat is only 6 months old, I think she is still growing her music taste but stays calm with your music! I don't know how to explain that, but it works, saves me lots of time at work ! Thank you again! I love your interpretation too !
I'm learning piano and watching how good you play is mesmerizing - gives me inspiration and shows how advanced musicians play ! Especially at 60 fps It’s amazing how great some of the music from my childhood video games.
@@AnimalisaKeys Most people who game on PC should know all the difference between 30 and 60fps. It’s very noticeable for me up to 240hz (requires an expensive monitor). I have extremely perceptive vision I got as a consolation prize for having below average pitch recognition.
Thank you so much, this could not have been easy (no matter how effortless you made it look). You are incredibly talented. Tears came to my eyes as To Far Away Times began... I could feel your excitement to finish your marathon! And in a stunning Marle/Nadia cosplay no less. You are incredible, thank you once again for sharing your gift and passion with us.
Battle with Magus was one of my most memorable moments playing video games when the music was timed with him flapping open his cloak to do battle with our heroes. So epic for it's time.
Your articulation for Millenial Fair is fantastic, it's the best I've ever heard. I love how I can hear the subject clearly and each note is played with intention.
This is absolutely incredible. The complete OST transposed to piano is spot on. Your skill and talent in capturing each piece is just breathtaking. I am transported back to the 1990s spending late nights grinding through the game and all its side quests. P.S. Dont forget to hash tag #NobuoUematsu XD
its a lie if i say that i'm not crying while to listening to this... Mitsuda created THE OST for the souls and you replicated it perfectly!!! typing with foots because i'm applauding and screaming BRAAAVO BRAVOOO BRAVIISSIMO!!!! thank you very much for your effort!!!
You know that feeling when someone makes something and it feels like they made it just for you? Amazing. Thank you so much for all your time and talent.
Maravilloso trabajo... y la música de Chrono Trigger siempre me pone feliz, así que una hora y media de Chrono Trigger es una hora y media feliz jajaja
Just enjoyed the whole series of OST and really really really appreciate you have go through all the pieces. AWESOME performance and brings me back to the memory of gaming and the journey in the CT story, which is so much memorable moments and how it meant to be part of me, just like other CT fans here. Thank you, thank you so much~~ To far away time...
You have no idea how many nights I've gone to sleep listening to this soundtrack!!!!! OMG I will support you and play this video on repeat forever!!! BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!
Annalisa, once again I am blown away at how talented you are and your love for Chrono Trigger truly shines bright here!! I can't even imagine how much work was put into this and the end result is something you should be really proud of!! This again just shows how much effort was put into making the music for the game and it totally deserves all the praise it gets so thanks for putting this together! I really enjoyed this a lot! This may be a hard question but I'm curious if you have a favorite track out of the OST? Maybe a top 3? Great job once again and I'm excited to see what your next project will be!! Where will you go from here haha.
Thank you so much, Lloyd!! I sure did put a lot of work into this project, haha. But I'm always inspired by how much you put into your medleys that you post on a near weekly basis! Hmmmm top three.... Secret of the Forest is definitely my favorite. Then maybe Wind Scene or At the Bottom of Night! Could change my mind tomorrow, though XD
@@AnimalisaKeys Haha ahh that's great and it's really cool that we can all inspire each other to do great things! Cool top 3! Secret of the forest has always been such a beautiful piece and who can forget the Wind Scene. Haha I get what you mean, with a soundtrack this full of fantastic songs, your favorites vary each day probably lol. Great job once again!
T'écouter jouer m'a replongé dans mes souvenir de ce voyage fantastique à travers le temps. Et regarder une si jolie interprète faire danser ses mains avec grâce, précision, fermeté et délicatesse sur le clavier fût un plaisir supplémentaire. Merci pour ce moment de joie.
A lot of people don’t seem to realize the sound palette and tunings he’s evoking there and in many of the Zeal pieces come pretty obviously from Indonesian gamelan.
These arrangements sound very difficult to play because of three different melodies often occurring at the same time. You executed each piece perfectly! It actually made me want to cry a few times. Brava!

@@joebaumgart1146 I wonder if he's still on business

This woman must be protected at all costs. She brought the medley of the gods to the piano 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🥰 my German shepherd, Zelda, does a pretty good job of that ❤️
@@AnimalisaKeys A doggo named Zelda…that is AWESOME!!!!!!
Lol there is like a 8 year old vid of some high school guys playing this on piano flute and violin all together I think they were the first ones to do the full album but this is also very impressive
Protect me!

I played this game when I was probably 15, and I am still in love with this soundtrack! What an absolute classic. And what a performance!
Thanks, Karl!! I didn't play it until I was about 23 but was instantly hooked
Man, the way you're often playing two voices at the same time with the right hand and making it look so effortless is truly impressive.
Thank you! That's one of the challenges of this soundtrack, often 3 voices only 2 hands haha
Sometimes she actually switches off between her right hand and left hand to play the middle (usually melody) voicing while somehow keeping the lower bass and the upper register going in our ears. Quite magical!

This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and heard. I love Chrono Trigger. And I’m a pianist too, so this, this is so special to me. Thank you so much ❤️
Keep up the good work!
Thank you 😭😭😭 💜💜💜
素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます
世界中にクロノトリガー好きな人がいるといると分かるだけ嬉しい気持ちになる
クロノトリガーすごいな
By some great fate, the mood to listen to some Chrono Trigger covers struck me before embarking on my long commute home. Naturally, I load up a personal favorite "Brink of Time" arranged and performed by Animalisa Keys when I see - you did the whole ost.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It's just what I needed to light my soul on my dreary, rainy, grey skied drive home and into house chores. Thank you for sharing your gift, your passion, and your love of incredible music and allowing these things to be a part of my own life's soundtrack. You rock
:'D you are so kind! I'm so glad I could brighten up your cloudy day and mundane tasks XD thank you for listening!
Believe me, your channel is going to explode soon because of this work ! TOTAL MASTERPIECE !
Hahaha thank you :D
I'm up to the 1 hour mark. Every 10 minutes I hit the like button because I forget that I already liked it, then I have to press it again. Maybe TH-cam should enable something like a MEGALIKE.
Hahaha thank you ☺️
I know that pianists have the incredible ability to play scores without the need of sheets; I don't even know how to put this correctly in words, but, in my opinion, when I see a talented pianist making use of sheets, it seems so charming and delicate! Great work, you filled my day with joy and happiness!
You go girl!!! Love the costume too 😍
when's the collab comin? 👀🤓
Ahhhh thank you so much, Kara! I love your work so much!
Wow!
...I would love to see you two do the flowers opera duet... just wishing out loud...
This soundtrack is godly.
The trial is absurdly intricate for a video game song on snes. The transitions and the last build up is comparable to a lot of great classical themes. I could see this in the magic flute from mozart haha.
Great playing, thanks for the video! :D
Dude, that's so accurate!!! It also sounds rather pretentious to me XD and it's supposed to be! I imagine myself as a self-righteous judge about to condemn someone to death for rescuing a princess, haha. Thanks for listening!!
Oh God how many good memories this melody 29:21 evokes! (Edit) By the way, this lady rocks! Congrats for the great work!!!
I appreciate your talents and musical choices! I cant wait until you do music from BOTW2!!!!
Thank you so much, Robert!!! You know I'm gonna be binge-playing BotW, both the game and the music :)
@Animalisa Keys That makes 2 of us. I was being presumptuous, of course, in that statement about your BOTW2 music ;) I've already pre-ordered it😁
Absolutely beautiful. Classic after classic. No doubt the best video game soundtrack ever. And great costume to boot! 😺
EDIT: Gotta call out that left hand on World Revolution.
Some of these arrangements are the best I've ever heard for the tracks. Spectacular work!
Thanks, and thanks for joining the premiere :D
This is absolutely incredible. You can see that there was a tremendous amount of work and attention to detail preparing this entire album, and it's played in one sitting no less! I have been enjoying listening to this everyday for work. Thank you so much for the practice and effort you put in to make this a reality!
I'm so glad you like it!!! I actually recorded this over several sessions (I wish I could play it all at once perfectly, but no) but I'm happy the final video looks smooth haha!
I grew up with this game. Thank you for reviving this fantastic music!!
Thanks for listening :)
Even my cat liked your interpretation, she doesn't leave my side and stays quiet while I work listening to your music! Thanks for calming down my cat, I really appreciated it !
Haha thank you! I think piano calms my dog at this point but I'm not sure.....
@@AnimalisaKeys My cat is only 6 months old, I think she is still growing her music taste but stays calm with your music! I don't know how to explain that, but it works, saves me lots of time at work ! Thank you again! I love your interpretation too !
I'm learning piano and watching how good you play is mesmerizing - gives me inspiration and shows how advanced musicians play ! Especially at 60 fps
It’s amazing how great some of the music from my childhood video games.
Haha you're the first person to mention the 60fps! I had a friend insist I film that way so I'm glad
@@AnimalisaKeys Most people who game on PC should know all the difference between 30 and 60fps. It’s very noticeable for me up to 240hz (requires an expensive monitor). I have extremely perceptive vision I got as a consolation prize for having below average pitch recognition.
Check out my Mario RPG piano collection while you play the remake! th-cam.com/video/jEAw_aB7K-g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p88oLIWr4exoUAxI
Just after playing Mario RPG and going to YT, it recommended me this video. What a nostalgia rush... You have a great skill! 😍
amaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
❤❤❤👍👍👍
The amount of effort that went into this is incredible. You’re a spectacular human and badass pianist.
Also, wind scene best song 😎😎😎
whoever plays the chrono trigger opening only by piano, wonderfully well-played deserve my respect. Wonderful all played songs, bravo!!
This is actually amazing, I need to pursue piano more!
Thank you
Thank you so much, this could not have been easy (no matter how effortless you made it look). You are incredibly talented. Tears came to my eyes as To Far Away Times began... I could feel your excitement to finish your marathon! And in a stunning Marle/Nadia cosplay no less. You are incredible, thank you once again for sharing your gift and passion with us.
Thank you for listening!
The Marle outfit is a nice touch. 😊
Battle with Magus was one of my most memorable moments playing video games when the music was timed with him flapping open his cloak to do battle with our heroes. So epic for it's time.
Especially when I sent my comrades away and took him on single handed!
Your articulation for Millenial Fair is fantastic, it's the best I've ever heard. I love how I can hear the subject clearly and each note is played with intention.
Thank you!! I guess all that Bach I had to learn growing up was helpful for something
Amazing, the nostalgia I get from this is truly unreal, thank you
Thank you so much 😭
HOLY SHIET, I am definitely gonna listen to all these divinity when I am driving. This is gonna be AMAZING 😱
Hahaha thank you!
This needs more views, people need to hear this ...
This is absolutely incredible. The complete OST transposed to piano is spot on. Your skill and talent in capturing each piece is just breathtaking. I am transported back to the 1990s spending late nights grinding through the game and all its side quests. P.S. Dont forget to hash tag #NobuoUematsu XD
Thank you so much
You mean Yasunori Mitsuda? Uematsu only did about ten tracks for the entire soundtrack.
@@Birdcomplex I think they were telling me not to forget to give Uematsu a hashtag, since I gave Mitsuda one at the top of the video description
its a lie if i say that i'm not crying while to listening to this... Mitsuda created THE OST for the souls and you replicated it perfectly!!!
typing with foots because i'm applauding and screaming BRAAAVO BRAVOOO BRAVIISSIMO!!!! thank you very much for your effort!!!
Thank you for listening!!!!!
You know that feeling when someone makes something and it feels like they made it just for you? Amazing. Thank you so much for all your time and talent.
Thank YOU so much for listening 😊
Maravilloso trabajo... y la música de Chrono Trigger siempre me pone feliz, así que una hora y media de Chrono Trigger es una hora y media feliz jajaja
Since I find this Video, a week ago, I listened like 4 times... simply... wow
Wow. This s great. How many 100 hours you have to bring this video so perfeckt with complete Ost? Thank You. Its so nostalgic.
RIP Toriyama. 🙏
❤️ 😢
OMG!!! MY head is exploding as I watch this...... I could NOT be more impressed!!!
What an angel!!!!!!
Just enjoyed the whole series of OST and really really really appreciate you have go through all the pieces. AWESOME performance and brings me back to the memory of gaming and the journey in the CT story, which is so much memorable moments and how it meant to be part of me, just like other CT fans here. Thank you, thank you so much~~
To far away time...
Wonderful arrangements and interpretation! Listening to this while working is perfect!
I'm so glad you like it :D
Amazing stuff! Thank you so much for putting this together 🥲
Thanks for listening :)
Thank you for this play 🥹
Thanks for listening!
Amazing. What's also fascinating is the fact that the author keeps reading and liking the comment section after an entire year
Everyone's kind words mean a lot to me
You have no idea how many nights I've gone to sleep listening to this soundtrack!!!!! OMG I will support you and play this video on repeat forever!!!
BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!
28年前の記憶が蘇ってきました
+1
名作は色褪せないね。
ああなついw
Annalisa, once again I am blown away at how talented you are and your love for Chrono Trigger truly shines bright here!! I can't even imagine how much work was put into this and the end result is something you should be really proud of!! This again just shows how much effort was put into making the music for the game and it totally deserves all the praise it gets so thanks for putting this together! I really enjoyed this a lot! This may be a hard question but I'm curious if you have a favorite track out of the OST? Maybe a top 3? Great job once again and I'm excited to see what your next project will be!! Where will you go from here haha.
Thank you so much, Lloyd!! I sure did put a lot of work into this project, haha. But I'm always inspired by how much you put into your medleys that you post on a near weekly basis!
Hmmmm top three.... Secret of the Forest is definitely my favorite. Then maybe Wind Scene or At the Bottom of Night! Could change my mind tomorrow, though XD
@@AnimalisaKeys Haha ahh that's great and it's really cool that we can all inspire each other to do great things! Cool top 3! Secret of the forest has always been such a beautiful piece and who can forget the Wind Scene. Haha I get what you mean, with a soundtrack this full of fantastic songs, your favorites vary each day probably lol. Great job once again!
Thanks for this video. Wonderful job.
Thank you 💕
T'écouter jouer m'a replongé dans mes souvenir de ce voyage fantastique à travers le temps. Et regarder une si jolie interprète faire danser ses mains avec grâce, précision, fermeté et délicatesse sur le clavier fût un plaisir supplémentaire. Merci pour ce moment de joie.
Merci :)
This was quite an accomplishment! Congratulations and amazing job! Looking forward to Final Fantasy VI Complete Soundtrack video in the near future ;)
Omg Kara Comparetto did that whole OST and it's amazing!!!! You should check it out!!! I think I might do a whole Zelda OST next hmmm
Do you learn by ear more than by reading sheet music?
1:03:35 Corridors of Time (時の回廊) is one of the best sounds every created by humankind!
It's a magical piece, Mitsuda is a genius
A lot of people don’t seem to realize the sound palette and tunings he’s evoking there and in many of the Zeal pieces come pretty obviously from Indonesian gamelan.
クロノトリガー最高！！！！！！！🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These arrangements sound very difficult to play because of three different melodies often occurring at the same time. You executed each piece perfectly! It actually made me want to cry a few times. Brava!
Thank you!! That did indeed make it especially tricky
This popped up in my suggestions. Within ten seconds I had goosebumps. So many memories of time spent with this game. Wonderfully played.
