Nostalgia. I watched this multiple times back when I was in middle school a decade ago, I kinda think it was so ingrained in my heart that it encouraged me to pick up violin in high school. I don't play much now, but I've never forgotten this cover.
I LOVE IT. I mean it. It makes me so happy. What makes your music additionally melodic are those emotions you portrayed on your face. I can see you really love your violin very much. I'm overwhelmed! :)
Just plain amazing. In reading these comments looks like theyre has been a lot of crediting to his skill because of his race. Dedication > Race everytime. Its not what you're born with that makes you great, its how much you want it and how much you are willing to work for it. Once again, very impressive sir
That was pretty damn incredible. Keep replaying the bit at 1:49. You managed to take an already incredible piece and add your own slice of epicness. Keep it up; really impressive!
If I close my eyes, I feel like I'm flying. But you're wrong Josh, this isn't epic. It's even better. Thanks for sharing your talent and passion with us.
@joshi3joshi You sir. Are Amazing. This is beautiful and it is proven by the no dislikes. You are a brilliant violinist and you should keep doing what you do and let no one tell you different.
oh my gosh, thats so awsome and epic... im brave enough to say that this made me, a 20 Y.O. loose a tear becouse of joy.... usually, only Kingdom Hearts is able to do this to me. ill by all KH games or at least 1.5 and 2.5 for my Son so he can play the game as i did wen hes old enough.... Squere enix, disney, Thank you alot, you made this world a better place with Kingdom Hearts and all the artists who do so wunderfull things like this boy did.
Good job man! Always funny to see people memorizing game songs, you are realy good on the violin, though I must say it still looks more impresive on piano.
Oh gosh, I love this song. And everytime I watch this video, I can't stop crying. Such an amazing interpretation. Thanks a lot for doing this. You're amazing. And you're cute too, don't care about what they say :3
I'm sure tons of people say this but I really mean it: Idk if its the piece or if its really just how yout played it but, this video moved me x] I felt at peace yet uneasy. Uneasy because I keep telling myself I want to be just as good as you :]
Thank you! Way to many people make that excuse, however, some Asians are simply more dedicated and practice more because their background encourages focus and hard work, or just simply enjoy what they do( aka Josh) but its unfair to assume all Asians are mic-geniuses and do math 24/7, get 120% on tests and get everything perfectly in school. To bad all the propaganda makes people think that we all do, its really annoying.
Saw this years ago and I still find myself coming back to watch and listen. Absolutely love it.

had to revisit this AMAZING cover right at the release of Kingdom Hearts 3 .. literal chills every time I hear this
Wow. The passion shows in his face while he plays... It's just commendable. No wonder he makes such good covers. *o*
wow. this left me speechless. you play so beautifully it makes me want to cry.
Pure talent. I'm so jealous! I wish I could play this good and PLAY BY EAR. This is perfect.
Shivers.
Up and down my spine.
THE. WHOLE. TIME.
I applaud you my good man.
Not many people are able to do that to me.
This is absolutely beautiful. Years have passed since I discovered this video and I still listen to it regularly.
This is so beautiful! Why haven't I seen this sooner!?
I LOVE YOUR STYLE OF PLAYING, that's just plain awesomeness
its a gift to be able to play by ear, sounds awesome!
Thank you. This gave me the courage to go back and play the violin once again.
I'm sorry I actually cried..your music is beautiful..as a violin player myself I admire you as my idol *bows*
I LOVE IT. I mean it. It makes me so happy. What makes your music additionally melodic are those emotions you portrayed on your face. I can see you really love your violin very much. I'm overwhelmed! :)
imagine how epic this would sound in a big concert room with a range of musical accompaniments to enhance the amazing-ness of your playing!
Just plain amazing. In reading these comments looks like theyre has been a lot of crediting to his skill because of his race. Dedication > Race everytime. Its not what you're born with that makes you great, its how much you want it and how much you are willing to work for it. Once again, very impressive sir
wow. i am baffled. that has got to be the most bad ass violin playing i have ever seen.
That was pretty damn incredible. Keep replaying the bit at 1:49. You managed to take an already incredible piece and add your own slice of epicness. Keep it up; really impressive!

"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE"
I'm getting teary-eyed from all the epicness
Spectacular.
I'm sure tons of people say this but I really mean it:
Idk if its the piece or if its really just how yout played it but, this video moved me x] I felt at peace yet uneasy. Uneasy because I keep telling myself I want to be just as good as you :]

Thank you!

To bad all the propaganda makes people think that we all do, its really annoying.
that was really cool.
