Syu: Possibly the best skilled guitarist in the world
Beware that finn mcguy thing watching hahaha he hates asian music so much haaha
Should've watched the live version. The full song is twice as long, they cut it for the MV. And Galneryus are always better live anyway.
Them, versailles, and crossfaith, always always always do the live version of songs
@@dicodec Hagane just dropped a new video yesterday - "SoulBeats (Official Music Video)" 🔥 🤘
For me the best male power metal band world wide. They are underrated. Thanks for this reaction. This is true art.
Syu is a religion!!!! i think he's the most underrated rock guitar player in the world .... his tone , his phrasing, his taste.. hats off!!
He is not the Top guitaris in the world in terms of technique and speed. He is VERY GOOD. He is extraordinary. Don't misunderstand. But he is not John Petrucci or Timo Tolkki or Yngwie Malmsteen Level. As a proof he changed the solo of Stratovarius "Against the Wind." Check it on YT. Yet, Syu is very good at making his solo sounds so emotional. Like you are immersed in it. I am not guitar legend. But I would like to humbly say that I am above average and can do fast solos as well. Saying it as credential on making the judgement.
@@user-kf5ty3rb8jn If you know guitar techniques, you can judge what techniques and at what difficulty level it is played in. Syu's techique and difficulty level is not at the same level as the guitarists I mention above. Logically, if someone cannlift 100 kg, he logically can lift 75 kg. As an evidence that Syu's level is not as high as Timo Tolki for example, Galneryus did cover Against the Wind and Black Diamond song pf Stratovarius, and Syu made simplet Solo. Ask your friend who is very good at guitar, and he can judge Syu's level. His, although extraordinary not at the level of John Petrucci, Timo Tolkki etc. National not International level.
@@zulqarnainabdullah5891 But Syu has improved a lot across the years, you should check out "wherever you are" live from galneryus. In that performance Syu demonstrates he´s a worldclass level guitarrist, and surely one of the best guitar players alive.
Shout out to P. Tchaikovsky for writing the original - Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 Final movement.
And they are Gods in adapting the Classical concerto into Metal
It requires a lot of knowledge in music and so much creativity to make it... BTW not the whole song is the Tchaikovsky's
@@esbot i think syu was born in a classical musician family. Started violin when he was a kid. Good parenting :D
Syu's solo is always getting me,my heart skipping a beat it's so breathtaking
Fun fact: Leda, the "third guitarist" of Babymetal's Kami band, used to be Galneryus' bassist (under the name Yu-To).
@@delbomb3131, pretty easy to find with a Google search: "Leda Cygnus". Real name Shinji Yuuto.
Also came back to Galneryus in 2011 as a support musician.
Syu and Takayoshi Ohmura are one of the most consistent clean shredder live I've ever heard.
The best japanese power metal band
@@TheCyberMantis agree with you, Lovebites is the best heavy metal band in the world right now!! I love Lovebites!! My favourite is Midori san!!!
@@sergiol.granados8460 Midori is awesome. I love her too. I also love Haruna. Her drumming reminds me of Ingo Schwichtenberg. And she is super cute!
@@TheCyberMantis Haruna is incredible!! Is like a mix of Ingo's energy/power and the technique/precision of Uli, with and amazing creativity and personality. Haruna the lovely pocket nuke!!
So so glad you finally reacted to Galneryus. They are all wonderful musicians but Syu is on another level. He is a phenom. Great reaction.
Syu started his musical journey with violin. And then drum before switching to guitar.
Believe me i really cry the first time i hear the solo its like omg its INCREDIBLE
Oh, my God! It's like a balm to my soul wounds! That's great! No words! This is a real treat for me! I haven't heard that in a long time. Thank you, dear guys! The reaction is amazing! Thanks!
Finally guys!!! You heard one of the most virtuoso guitarist of the world!! Syu-San the epic shred god! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Galneryus is one of my favorite band and I can only recommend it to every power and neoclassical metal fan! Keep playing hard!!!
Yes! So glad you guys were able to get around to this! I knew you'd be impressed by Syu! He's my favorite guitarist and arguably the best in the world right now. His technical ability is through the roof and he puts so much feeling in his playing at the same time. Masatoshi Ono is a fantastic vocalist as well. Galneryus is my favorite power metal band, so I'm very excited for you guys to experience their epicness as well! 🤘😁
This was amazing! So glad we finally got to this band. We are ready for more 🤘
Watched them performed this song LIVE back in early 2020. It was EPIC!! I actually had some tears on my face...
He is "the best" Guitarist in japan... So yeah...
React to "Hunting For Your Dream" Please 😁
TRULY this band is the most beautiful music one will ever hear. I have found that no other band/music is able to elevate my spirit like they can. Need more grateful & genuine music appreciators like you guys. SO glad you're using this platform to indulge the anointed talents of many. Music this breathtaking should be shared with the world. 🙏🏼🕊️⚡
貴方達の感動する気持ち、よくわかりますよ!
This church is the same church as Lovebites " Glory to the World ".
The vocalist is often called " Mr. vocal " ...he is a perfect vocalist.
The guitar player is one of the best guitarists in Japan ,or maybe no 1.
The keyboardist is clearly the best keyboardist in Japan .
So they are a super band along with Unlucky Morpheus ,in my opinion.
@@dicodec That Church is often referred to as the 'Ubiquitous Japanese Church' and was also used in the Aldious 'Dominator' video and many other Japanese metal videos.. Apparently, it's not really a church but a wedding chapel. There's a picture of the outside. It is literally in a business district surrounded by high rises.
don't limit SYU to japan, he is one of the best guitarists in the whole world, hands down.
The Church name is Casa D'Angela in Tokyo and is a wedding church so Japanese can marry western style with the hole kit.
Now that you had a taste of Galneryus, try to listen on your own time the 15 minute album version as the one on the music video is shortened. Syu is doing a ton more freaky solo stuff in the the album version. 🙂 Or you can go watch the live one.
Yup, downloaded it and play it quite often in the car. Best 14 minutes everytime.
Galneryus It is one of my favorite bands, live they sound like the gods!
A bit of a fun fact Galneryus's lead singer Ono Masatoshi-san is already an established singer back in the '90s probably his big hit was the song "You're the only" theme from the 1992 Jdrama entitled "Anything For You" which he re-recorded when he joined Galneryus in 2009. And the band's guitarist Syu-san is also the guitarist for Animetal fronted by Anthem's former lead singer Sakamoto Eizo-san.
10:25 I'm happy to realize that I'm not the only one that feel overwhelmed with emotions with this song.
Power metal and classical mashed together is such a powerful mix!
10:23 bro was literally crying because of how beautiful it was and i was too
The live version is insane! it's even better than the studio version, with the live orchestra.
Also, probably someone already said this but LEDA from Babymetal was a member of Galneryus.
@@dicodec I think it is great that you do both. But if you leave it just with the short-cutted music video version it truly would be a pity.
These guys have very good ear for music, picking out the violins over the rest... It makes you enjoy the music so much more when you listen to every part of it
First sec of performance... Wait a minute, this is Tchaikovsky Violin concerto. And all the solos sounds like variations on the violin solo part from the concerto. Thanks for the new reaction video. Cool band and great music 🎻🤘🎸
finally, they know the angel of salvation . this the best j-metal , masterpiece eith the different genre of metal 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
el mejor solo de guitarra de la historia!descubri esta banda hace 7 años y me bolo la cabeza!ese guitarrista es el mejor!
Galneryus siempre tienen buenos sólos y melódicos, me encanta igual la conozco hace años, cuando la recomiendo a personas que no saben o no les gusta el metal, siempre me dicen que está banda si les gusta.
Igualmente esta totalmente inspirada Tchaikovski ese solo existia en violin claro que en guitarra electrica suena bestial.
Ah yes I remember my first time hearing this song I literally teared up at how fucking cool syus solos were and then I actually cried at the ending
Galneryus was influenced by the brazilian band Angra, and the full version of this song IS PERFECT
Ah i see, very cool! Yup, been jamming it since we first recorded this last month. Best 14min of my life
Great reaction!!
Galneryus has three 10+min songs, angel of salvation, the force of courage, and ultimate sacrifice.
Every songs are so epic, please check out its live version!!!
okay this is now my favourite music reaction of all time holy shit.
highly recommend In'El by First Fragment, I swear to god this 18 minute masterpiece is on the same level
Finally!!! I've been waiting for this !!! Love your reaction ! Yeah, Syu's guitar skills are out of this world. haha!
Please react to their song Hunting for your Dreams. It is the ending song for HunterXHunter (2011) .
More Galneryus reaction !!
I know, sorry it took us so long! Bro, I have heard those song many time as I am a big hunter x hunter fan
Great reaction! All hail the guitar gods! 🔥 Galneryus are so amazing! I am so firmly in the neoclassical, speed metal camp that it’s ridiculous. Grew up playing classical music and got into metal in high school in the 80s. Massive fan of Malmsteen! Been into JRock for a couple years now and I’d put Syu and Hizaki & Teru (Versailles/Jupiter) up against ANYBODY. Phenomenal shredders but with a musical sense and class that is hard to come by. 🔥🎸
this song bangs man i love galneryus their songs always take me on a journey the live version of this song is super extended literally like 18 min long song with so many more solos if you wana check that out
everytime i hear the solo always make me chill... masterpiece art !
Raise My Sword is the greatest song I've ever heard in my life. you should really listen to it.
О, Боже! Это прямо бальзам на мои раны души! Великолепно! Нет слов! Это прямо наслаждение для меня! Давно такого не слышала. Спасибо, дорогие ребята! Реакция потрясающая! Благодарю!
Finally other people in el paso have discovered galneryus. I'm glad you enjoyed this track. I've been a fan of them since Advance to the Fall album back in 2005 and they never have disappointed.
You had listen to this vocalist voice in HunterxHunter 2011 opening and one of the endings too
That's what I was rewatching recently and the sound caught my attention, so I looked up the band.
These guys are kickass and both of you are absolutely right the mix is superb, it is hard to do that with sooo many instruments involved .. this is baddass .. love it!
The ultimate best song from japan, galneryus
I love your reaction, Alan. You always remind me how much I love and enjoy music. We cried together!
I've been waiting for this ;_;
Galneryus is such an incredible band (peak japanese power metal).
You missed out on essentially half of the song with the MV version tho (:
If you're still into Unlucky Morpheus, there's a collaboration between Syu (Galneryus' guitarist) and Fuki, which is pretty amazing.
Also, make sure to check out some of Galneryus' older songs. Their previous singer Yama-B was interesting too (you'll know when you hear it) and I think earlier Syu was more experimental with his sound.
Yup. Downloaded the song after and was shocked it was 14min long haha. We definitely gotta check out that collab.
That first solo speaks to my soul in a way that no other guitar solo I have ever heard can match. Probably the most Zen I feel in my life is listening to that solo. Kind of along the same lines as your comment about the song being like the gospel for the church of music. So fantastic.
日本人です。
周りにメタルを共感してくれる人がいないので、自分の1番好きな曲で素晴らしい反応をしていただけたことをとても嬉しく思います。
ありがとうございます!!
I love Alan feeling the power of music with all his soul and heart ❤️😭❤️thank u for reacting to Galneryus
Very great reaction! I'm so glad!!!

Don't know after they left the band
@@jemshd9800 someone said Yu-to was in babymetal, but i can't find confirmation of that, just that he was in Uroboros and is now in Far East Dizain.
@@delbomb3131 Yu-to back to Galneryus in 2011 as Leda, and play backing guitar rythm
And i don't know the exact time, Leda joined to Baby Metal as guitar support, may bee just for off air live show
That's it all i know man, haha
Nice, Pika-Syu is one of best of the best shredders from Japan, he's god level! You should check out Syu with Fuki - [Reason] MV.. My other favorites from Galneryus are Alsatia(Leda of Kami is here) and The Followers(Fumiya is the Drummer).
He is definitely is an absolute boss! Love that you always come through clutch with he suggestions. I'm sure they will be dope 🤘
Masterpiece
So glad that you’ve finally reacted to them! I was one of many, many fans who have recommended this - it was an instant click when it popped up on my feed!
You need to listen to Departure by them next
Heck yes! We are so sorry it took so long haha. Bro that's the Hunter X Hunter opening. I love that song. 🤘
@@dicodec They also do one of HxH outros "hunting for your dream"
Had so much fun watching your reaction you guys are very entertaining haha
So happy to watch this reaction, even when I;m a bit late, but Syu is amazing and I love how humble they are in person too. They deserve more recognition!
i discovered Syu and Galneryus during the ancient youtube era and damn. until this day he is still one of the best influences in my guitar playing
You think this is crazy??? YOU MUST WATCH THE LIVE VERSION! ENDLESS SOLOS
We know Syu is the best guitar player in Japan.
Did you enjoy his play ? We feel happy if you do that !
Indeed we loved it! We've also reacted to his song with Fuki and lost our minds.
Sooo goood ilooove this singer and group
Yes Sho does the vocal for the opening to dragon ball kai
I never noticed the violin arpeggios and runs throughout until you mentioned it. Good ear!
Awsome!
Wow you must see the full version of angel salvation guys 👍
I heard it, immediately downloaded it and listened to it over and over. Best 14 minutes everytime. 🤘
The great reaction to one of the best guitarist, Syu and yes he makes it sing. Wait till you hear him play the masters on it!!!!! This is a great band and if you want to be totally blown away try the LIVE version where Syu gets to go off several times, not sure you won't be looking for face and brains on the floor after that. Another J/Metal discovery boys, the rabbit hole is deep and there is constant new talent being pumped into it, take it from someone who has been in it for years there is no way out but why would you want to get out with level of musicianship!!!
Hi! i'm from Japan! Nice reaction !
i want to see a reaction that galneryus new song "WHATEVER IT TAKES (Raise Our Hands!)"
This song is as awesome as ANGEL OF SALVATION 🔥 🔥 🔥
Hello! We are more than happy to react to it. We need to react to some more Galneryus. 🤘
Yes Galneryus's song Departure! and Hunting for your Dream was used in the anime Hunter x Hunter
@@dicodec please react to more Galneryus. Raise my sword and those two.. they're so incredible
The solo part is inspired in Tchaikovsky's Violin con Concerto in D Major 3rd movement :D
Fantastic song based on Tchaikovski's unique Concerto for Violin ! The album version of this amazing song is almost 15mn long , THE MASTERPIECE of this band !! Thanks for your reaction dudes, greetings from France :-)
This singer's voice remind me of "Saint Seiya" Opening song's singer.
& that solooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Its like an anthem song !
Great Videos this is my first time in the channel and i want to say i love galneryus one of my favorites bands of metal. if you like the same style of metal i recommend the band "Rata Blanca" from argentina. recomiendo el tema "la leyenda del hada y el mago" (the legend of the fairy and the wizard) the song if from 1992 but i recomend search for a live performance. you will love it. they also have a awesome live show with glenn hughes playing songs of deep purple like burn, mistreaded, stormbringer and keep on moving.
Nice reaction guys and btw i need that baby metal shirt like NOW
I heard like 200 guitar Solos in my Life. John Petrucci, Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Michael Romeo, Kiko Loureiro,
But this is one of the Top 10 Best.
CURIOUS FACT:
"Angel of salvation" is a song that originally lasts 14 minutes, generally in instrumental and lyrics is in charge of its guitarist, Syu who is the leader of the band. This song was based on P. Tchaikovsky's piece, "Violin Concerto in D Major, Op.35 final movement" and this may be due to Syu being influenced by guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen and bands like X Japan, Helloween , Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica, it also has classical music influences, such as Vivaldi and Paganini. Another very curious fact is the opera voices that are heard in the background in some choirs, they are interpreted by none other than Akane Liv from the band Liv Moon, with whom Syu has collaborated live ("Alone" - Heart cover with Takayoshi Ohmura) , and vice versa in Syu's solo albums (Chaos Reality - Syu), by the way, Syu is vocalist and guitarist in another project called "Spinalcord" formerly called "Aushvitz"
Greetings from Chile!!🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
So awesome! Thanks so much for the insight 🤘❤
Am kinda late but pretty sure syu played the violin before picking up the guitar
hermano esta banda qla me cambio la vida, mi tema favorito es "endless story" da una sensación terrible de tristeza
@@tulapia5342 si sientes esa sensación con esa canción que es re movida, debes escuchar "no more tears" te pega justo en el cora
@@Yeral_redmoon.guitar si la conozco también :(
