- I've always been curious about Okami. I've seen many people praise the Okami soundtrack, which doesn't surprise me since it's a Capcom game. Now more than ever, after listening to The Sun Rises theme, I really want to play this game!

hello, love your work
have you considered reacting to any of the themes for the monsterverse movies? i know it's not video games music but i think that there's some interesting bits you could react to there
Okami is not a game. It is a masterpiece.
An art
Whenever the topic of games as art comes up, this is the only game I think of.
Only Okami flaw: too easy.
Everything else: perfection.
This is truth. Objective truth.
Something that JoshScorcher cannot seem to relies
The character you play as in Okami is actually the goddess of the sun Amaterasu, so the name of the track, The Sun Rises, actually has a nice double meaning there. As you said it is very uplifting and hopeful for the future, but it also alludes to Amaterasu reawakening to her power. The track perfectly represents how Amaterasu inspires hope in the people that believe in her, and how she guides them to a brighter tomorrow.
Everything is said here, after 16 years I always feel a lot of emotions listening to this track ♥
WHErwin in the comments no way
Yeah this is pretty much Okami's equivalent to Proof of a Hero. It involves some leitmotifs strewn across the game.
Very notable though, and of course easy to miss if you haven't heard more of the soundtrack, is how right-out-the-gate *intense* this track is compared to most others in the game.
It's unceasing harmonious noise underneath serene and evocatively positive melodies, as if trying to reflect the overwhelming splendour of the sun.
songs that make you feel like a god - not in the sense of having limitless power but in the sense of having infinite benevolence. it's a brighter future because -you're the sun.-
The Sun Rises, for all intents and purposes, is a victory lap. You fight the ultimate evil and bounce back full-force from rock-bottom. It's thoroughly empowering and incredibly hopeful, what a rush. The ultimate evil can be defeated, and everyone has placed their faith in you.
It's Yami's "Wait, I hear boss music" moment.
I legit cried during this part of the final boss. Such a great game!
The way i started crying as soon as the melody built up. I miss this game sm
Okami is the game on which I spent my oral baccalaureate at the end of the year (I am French), it is a game that I discovered a long time ago but it inspired me so much, that today I cannot forget it. This game made me draw, evolve and appreciate Japanese art.. I would never thank capcom for making a collaboration between two games that I love and that made me grow.. Today, the music of Okami still have as much impact on me.
I have so much love for this game, through my childhood, teen, and adult years every time I play it... god the music still gets me, its a wonderful game AND experience. It means a lot to me to see your appreciation for this track, genuinely is the most hopeful and has such a fitting name for it
The Howling sound from begining makes it even better.
love it. Okami is one of my top 5 all time games, especially the wii version, and this is one of the best soundtracks in that game.
Honestly if you have the time, you should definitely play Okami! IT may be a bit old, but thanks to art style andthe uniqueness with the brush techniques, it still hold up VERY well imo by today's standards. And there is so much good music in there too, especially as I feel we rarely get such a japan-inspired soundtrack here in the west.
I thought about you reviewing this song a few days ago. Okami is my favorite game of all time, and this song is my fave in the OST, so this was a pleasant surprise (I maybe had a little cry)
My goodness... I had no idea you reacted to the music of my favorite game that I loved since 2007... This was very pleasant to watch!
OKAMI is one of my favorite games I've ever played. The design of the game is so unique as it looks like you're in a Japanese painting that's coming to life before your eyes.
It's just so beautiful and breathtaking all the while you learn about the mythology with each Celestial Brush technique you learn and the demons and bosses you fight.
It's storyline is amazing, the combat is great, the characters are memorable, the backgrounds are gorgeous and music is BEAUTIFUL!
So happy you enjoyed this song!
Õkami is definitly a masterpiece of game, art style and music begin incredible, amazing and hopeful story that duelves in a lot of japanese Mythology, that if you know about makes the game even more amazing, and cool gameplay mechanics that while not the best for its original release on Playstation, did incredible well on the nintendo Wii, which I'll say its the best version to play and would be my recommendation, I do have the pc port who is not so bad either and I would say the second best choice to properly enjoy the gameplay since drawing the spells on a controller is a nightmare, and why it didnt do so well originally.
To this day its still the only game which I got all achievements because of how much I love it, XD
Okami’s entire victory lap sequence was the first time a video game made me cry as a kid. This song was half the reason why, and I think you all know what the other half was.
oh, thank you!! i just love Okami, i grew up on it, and to see you listen and analyse The Sun Rises is just the best! im glad that Okami is still getting a bit of limelight.
anyways, the song is about the main character, Amaterasu. she is the sun goddess, though she's restricted to a wolf form as you play the game. she's seen as the mother of all other gods, and so I think thats where the warm support comes in. this song plays during the final boss fight against Yami. he takes Ammy's power and as she is moments from death, her Celestial Envoy, Issun, spreads her image and, as a result, everyone you had met were praying to her. and like. THAT FUCKED ME UP MAN I FUCKING SOBBED. the prayers give her her powers back, and so she is returned to her finest form; the wolf they called Shiranui
that could also point to the happy, positive, hopeful sound comes from. you have made a comeback. youre playing the sun goddess who is defeating the lord of darkness. you are the one saving the people of Nippon and you are going to win. and i think that's exactly what the music is showing you.
I hope you do give it a try, this song is so fitting for where it shows up!
In Japanese culture, the sun is the most precious thing and a symbol of hope.
So I think that "the sun rises" means going from despair to hope.
As a Japanese who loves this game, I thank you.
Thank you for listening to this song.
This song hits so much harder if you listen to "thank you reset" just before listening to this, as the latter leads into the former
I didn't even realize MHR had a crossover with Okami (Probably cause I don't pay much attention to MH). I love that, Okami getting more love is nice. :)
They made an amazing Amaterasu costume for the Palamutes, the new dog allies added in the newest Monster Hunter. From the minute the dogs were shown I was praying for an Okami collab with an Ammy costume and I'm so glad they delivered!
Can't wait for the Yami theme video
Him trying to analyze these tracks without context is great, but it would be fun if afterwards he was shown the context and reacted to that, seeing how accurate his ideas are. Like if he saw the context that this track plays for the second half of the final boss fight. the fist half having a dark and terrifying tone as you're nearly powerless from Yami's influence and on the verge of defeat before the prayers of the people empower you.
Thanks for giving me an alternative name for what I call "justice minor harmony", "heroic" does sound very appropriate.
This them really complements Yami the final boss theme, you should really listen to that one too it’s amazing.
Thank you for covering this! Okami is one of my favorite games and the moment in which this track plays is one of the most memorable in all of gaming for me!
Out of all the songs in Okami I did not expect this one. If I had asked for one, it would be Reset, or Reset ~Thank You
Oh, and not only is it a Capcom game, it was a game by Clover studio which later became PlatinumGames. And I'm sure you know what other games they have made and what awesomeness many of those soundtracks are...
Great video as always! Okami is a really amazing game and this piece is truly epic! It’s full of hope. Every time l hear this piece, my whole being is shaken. It feels like a spiritual wind blowing through me and the light of the divine sun shining on me. This piece and Proof of a Hero are my morale boosters! Thank you for this, Davi!
Just hearing the soundtrack brought me an overwhelming sense of indescribable nostalgia; I played the heck out of this game when it came out on the PS2 and was the very first game I ever did a full completionist run over and over again. Personally, it's my favourite video game ever and a masterpiece on all fronts, and I love every single aspects of it. The soundtracks are all so glorious that you could only appreciate it truly when walking through the watercolour-brush environment of the game.... I truly truly love Okami, can't you tell?
Thank you for covering this gem, and you should totally play Okami!
OMG ur finally listening to one of my favourite video game tracks of all time! Im so happy
it's an adventure of a lifetime, never to be forgotten!
You might what to listen to Susano's theme next, It could be interesting. Anyway, Okami is an exelent game that I highly recommand to all action aventure lovers
I got here through your Undertale react videos and had the thought that it would be so cool if you had any Okami videos. So happy to see that you did!
Okami has a wonderful soundtrack and this is one of my favorite tracks on it.
Okami has a, no pun intended, godly OST
Fun fact: The theme played by the shakuhachi (just before the quiet section) is the *de facto* main theme/Amaterasu theme, and it appears in several different places throughout the game, most notably here: th-cam.com/video/yGJDfjzvWc0/w-d-xo.html
I loved seeing Okami's soundtrack getting some recognition. 🫶
Please react to Ryoshima Coast or Shinshu Field.
You nailed it on the melody being used in minigames. A shorter and simpler version of this theme is used in race minigames. Heck even a flashgame from back then based on such minigames used the same yet an even simpler melody.
I had to immediately click, I LOVE OKAMI, it's a really good game. If you get the time and have nothing to do please give it a try 👍
I really want to!
@@DaviVasc it's a legend of zelda game but with a wolf lol. Instead if an Ocarina playing mechanic it has brush painting mechanic
@@DDayDireWolf Open World RPGs are not unique to Legend of Zelda games. The fact that Okami has an explicit story that occurs as you play through the game rather than the implicit story of Legend of Zelda games already sets it wildly apart from Legend of Zelda.
Omg the title of this video made me want to watch this video because honestly I had seen some bits of it from my sister playing but then I heard THIS FIRE 🔥 MELODY and I knew I had to play it!
One of the best game I ever played and one of which who maked me the most. Incredible on all aspect, and it remains me of my dear father who gifted it to me. It really warms my heart that you give me an opportunity to listen to one of the song, and that you took interest in it :) One day I'll get the records... But their price is unreachable :(
I've played Okami a lot of hours, but still not finished it, the 30 fps piss me up.
But OMG hearing this again made me wanna to continue playing, i will make that now.
Fun fact : Ōkami was actually picked up by Capcom after Clover Leaf Studios closed down. They were worried no one would see their finished game at all.
If this song is so moving to him, wait until he actually plays the game. They’re so MANY beautiful songs in this game.
Okami is one of my favorite games of all time 10/10
Davi, my man, I have a song for you to hear, but first I have to say I love hearing your take on these themes because they really help me appreciate the technicality and the thought put into these songs. Especially when you know nothing about the game, but are able to extrapolate the meaning of the moment it's played just by ear, because the composer put that much thought into it.
My kudos out of the way, I really really really think any lover of video game music or even just classical music in general needs to hear God Shattering Star from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It's an absolute beast of a song that absolutely shatters your star when you first hear it.
I would love to hear your take on some others from the series, like Don't Speak Her Name from FE: Awakening, and Twilight of the Gods from FE: Echoes, but if no other song, God Shattering Star.
This brings back so many memories. I think I might just have to get myself a new copy of ookami for one of the systems that I currently own.
Never heard of this game before, but the music sounds Wonderful
The whole game is really beautiful honestly. Its a few years old now but you can get it on the Switch for 30 bucks or so (the first copies me and my friends got were on the Wii and the PS2 respectively btw).
The art is traditional japanese painting styled, the story is basically a massive mash up of like a hundred different japanese fairytales, there is a dedicated button for barking, and if you build up enough speed when running flowers sprout from where you run~
I just discovered this video and I must share some fun facts I remember of this game. One whopper being the original ending . In one scene of the game where ami gets the wind brush god technique I think a ghost or spirit addresses Ami as a beautiful maiden, nothing more becomes of this except hinting Ami is more then they seem. However In the original ending Ami was to transform from a wold form into a beautiful woman based on a woodblock art of the real sun goddess of Amatarasu. but with white hair and the same face tats as her wolf form. her aura so powerful that when her companion tries to jump towards her, but in this gogly form the aura around her is so hot he gets semi charred and has to back from her, keeping his distance to big farewell. This plan was changed However they used the design of the human ami for Queen Himiko but tweaked it a bit with a different hair color and color outfit change, her headdress was also altered but the design was so well liked it became the mirror used for the save points. Himiko's original design had been more focus on a very earlier ancient fashion from the real queen himiko timeline which was trashed. The sequel to this game I also heard was a discontinued project but someone else picked up on where they left off which is why the game design and texture is slightly different to the first game.
初見でも日本人の私より理解している気がする・・・。メロディ戻ってくる読みもすごいわ。
ゲームやったことないけど良い曲だと思うし、なぜこの曲が愛されているのかが分かった気がする。
this song is so gorgeous and powerful it always gives me shivers and goosebumps
Great video as always davi keep up the work, also might i recommend taking a listen to slave knight gael from dark souls 3, truly an amazing track with an amazing presentation of emotions. Have a great day Davi
Okami is such a fun game. Glad to see the music caught your ears.
the context of it playing is actually very similar to proof of a hero. switching off the very dark and forboding theme of what you are fighting, signaling a turn of the tides. the boss's theme is washed away by the power of everyone believing in amaterasu again.
i'm so happy you're talking about such a masterpiece, easily in my top 3 games of my life for the soundtracks and the special graphics that are so beautiful. Okami really is a game full of good musics.
You should also try some Genshin Impact ones (don't hit me pls they're some good musics in it even with the flaws this game has) like "Symphony of Boreal Wind", "Caelestinum Finale Termini" or "Termination of Desires" (this last one does have a weird moment in it but otherwise i find it rly good though a bit short).
Anyway love your videos and keep up the good work ^^
Okami is an incredible game.
I recommend anyone to play it.
If I remember correctly The Sun Rises plays during the final boss battle. Absolutely love Okami’s music, hands down one of my favorite gaming soundtracks.
I kid you not 2 days ago I was curious to know what you could think about this song and surprise surprise the video got released today, I found this track like... 2 years ago by pure chanche and JUST by hearing this song, knowing literally nothing about the game this track convinced me to buy it. Best gaming experience I've ever had in years.
OKAMI!!!!!! YES! There is so much great music in that game! I would love to see you listen to more from it.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
I'd recommend the Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Ost, all bangers that would be awesome to analyze imo
Also I just found out you're Brazilian, dá orgulho de ser brasileiro 💪
This song plays at the final part of the final boss
You gotta listen to the soundtrack for Ribbit King. The goofiest underrated game with some bangers.
My first and favorite game of all time! Really recommend you play this game when you have the time, so many memorable songs packed in this masterpiece
The combo of the cutscene before this plays and the song made me cry while I was playing this section, I was just blown away with how much feelings of hope I got from this song
Fun fact: in 2019, Famitsu magazine released a ranking of (probably JP only) Game fans’ choice of “Best video game music” and this song ranked first, a song released back in 2006.
Even to this day, this song is constantly in the top 100 (usually in top 10) video game music among the Japanese gamers
It’s just that good and memorable
Melody from the game used in a climactic combat: fightmotif.
At least this sun god doesn't want to massacre and mind control everyone unlike someone else we covered...
This song is very special in the game because it's a boss fight song. But most boss fight sound evil and you can hear yokai choir in the back but this boss fight, isn't a yokai's theme, it's the moment you become the boss in the boss fight. It really sounds so hopeful, you hear it you know you can overcome anything.
You're not fighting over the final boss theme, you're fighting over your own theme
It's Amaterasu's theme, this is brillant
Deltarune and now Okami??? You’re really gonna make all my favorite games?
Amazing game, Amazing Soundtrack, Amazing Story.
Please do play Okami! It's a game I loved as a kid and is my favorite game of all time. It's really beutiful, charming, and all around fun.
DAVI REVIEWING ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONG FROM ONE MY FAVORIT GAMES,I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
OKAMI OST IS A MASTERPIECE,YOU SHOULD DEFINETLY PLAY AND REVIEW MORE OF THE OST
If you're ever in the mood to play a "PS2 era" "Zeldalike" sometime soon, make it Okami. Some of its design decisions are dated, but the visuals haven't aged a day!
Also, it isn't the game's Main Theme (though it does reprise that leitmotif) but it _IS_ heard in the same kind of context that Monster Hunter games would play "Proof of a Hero" for.
Next you should analyze one of the tracks that Carlos Viola did for the game Blasphemous
Hm, I would like you to do the Main Theme at some point.
If you haven't played Okami yet, you totally should! Many people compare it to Zelda, so if you like those games you'll probably dig it. And if you're into Japanese history and folklore, Okami is a true love letter to those topics
Fun fact! The title "Okami" is a pun! Yes, "okami" does mean "wolf", but in the game it's written with the characters for "great" and "god" which is read as.... "Okami"!
Capcom peaked with Clover Studio
glad to see that you did a video about this game, its my favorite game of all time
I think a great soundtrack to check out would be the game Outward, it has an amazing soundtrack and I think the main theme or the hallowed marsh are both great picks to listen to
SPOILERS FOR OKAMI!!!: The music plays during the final phase of the final boss, after a cutscene where he reveals a final form, grabs Amaterasu, and beats her to an inch of her life. As she almost dies, we get a scene of her companion Issun travelling around the game world, revealing to all the NPCs that you met in the game that it was Amaterasu that had helped them (since she's a wolf that doesn't talk and most people see her as a normal dog, basically no one notices that it's her answering their prayers when you do their quests), and their faith flowing towards her at that moment allows her to be restored to full power. This song is so hopeful and positive because it represents Amaterasu, who is a sun goddess, rising more powerful than before in order to completely destroy her enemy, the god of darkness.
Here's another one from Okami. I won't give too much context since I love how you try to explain the context through the melodies, so I'll just keep it simple and say this one is basically a parallel to Rising Sun
th-cam.com/video/XugG82XlAOw/w-d-xo.html
Take a listen to the EverHood sound track
Try 3: hi hi! I'd love it if you could analyse one of Rain World's songs: Moondown.
Could you react to “Deep Stone Lullaby” by Michael Salvatori (Destiny 2: Beyond Light)
You should really play the game because then you will learn that this track also reincorporates some other tracks used throughout the game and how that impacts the track's meanings. Also it is beautiful and chill.
I know you're just doing patreon requests but this kind of music, in my opinion, is just not on the same level as something from Elden Ring or Monster Hunter.
It's good but simple. I still hope to see you do a comparison and analysis of the Radagon OST vs the main theme and help people understand why the music developed the way that it did. It's sneakily tells a story
There will be more Elden Ring and Monster Hunter videos for sure
I’d suggest final fantasy VII Remake but I assume you’ve already heard it.
I added this song to my Playlist, then a week later you post this video.
Starting today, i’m gonna ask you to react to “One Winged Angel” from Final Fantasy VII every day
Okami's sonund track is gold.
Can you listen "delivrance" from god of War, I think this song is interesting
can you listen to BIG SHOT from deltarune chapter 2?
Somebody show for he the "end of struggle" by: dragon's dogma
A primeira vez que eu ouvi essa música foi a versão do Marvel vs Capcom 3, que teve um remix para se adequar ao ambiente do jogo de luta, até que eu procurei a versão original e é incrível, uma das melhores músicas que ouvi de games que nunca joguei XD
What console was okami for?
Originally for Wii/PS2, had a sequel on the DS, PS3, Microsoft Windows, PS4, XBONE, and finally the Switch.
Any games with motion controls are fun, but some of the powers and puzzles do better with joystick control.
You should really try to do Terraria because it has lots of different styles and such
Please, react to "Reset" is my favorite song from Okami 🥺 💕
HOPES AND DREAMS FROM UNDERTALE PLZZ
Oh the absolute joyous grin that spread across my face seeing this in my recommended, Okami has a very dear place in my heart, so happy to see it still getting recognition almost 20 years after its release
Blows my mind that I still remember it so vividly after so many years. I was still a little kid when I first played it.
I completely agree. Okami is by far my favourite game and it is very close to me
Man, I was subbed to this channel since the beginning of this year but haven't checked on it for a while... I can't describe how happy I was when I saw this in my recommended!
