When I read the title, I thought you found the 8 original versions From Jun, haha. He should find and release those one day. Also, at 16:49 Big slowly walking to the techno beat was hilarious to me.
Oh damn, I didn't know there were 8 arrangements that Jun previously made until I saw this video. Now I really wanna hear them. Let's hope he does release them.
i really want to hear like a “complete” mix of the song with the storm opening/closing, the beginning “all right!”, all the extra vocals throughout the song and the extra “open your heart”s and the drawn out “yeah” at the end. i tried making that and have it on my channel but i used the 2009 mix and the “yeah” ending which are different recordings of the instrumental so it’s really jarring. i’m no audio expert lmao
This is the first time in over 20 years I've heard the versions from the Sonic Adventure techno remix CD. You have no idea how glad I am someone delved into that.
You'd think there'd be a version with the storm, the "woah right" at the start, the missing backing vocals and the vocal flourishes from the end by now.
I get chills every time with number 3. I had played almost every Sonic game before I played the first Sonic Adventure. I fully understood what the game meant for the franchise and I knew the song was awesome. When the intro switched over to the lyrics it felt awesome.
Oh god that clip with looping theme for the final boss for some reason just made me realize how much more epic that boss fight is than we give it credit for. This is a freakin kaiju destroying a city and it's attention is captivated by a tiny glowing hedgehog all the way across town, and its sights are locked on. Sonic and this beast have a score to settle and don't back away, rather Chaos throws everything's he's got at Sonic to obliterate him and Sonic charges straight into it as fast as he can. I don't know if I can think of another popular video game mascot that ends with facing a kaiju in the middle of a destroyed city. There's fights like Dark Gaia which are technically on a larger scale... but they were in the middle of the Earth. Here, they're fighting smack in the middle of the city.
I remember there was a demo version of the K-Klub remix that was featured in the Nazo Unleashed fan animation years before the official release, which to this day I still wonder where the animator had got it from. Anyway, great video, I would like to see Dreams of an Absolution to be covered since it had a considerable amount of versions/remixes.
The Early demo ver is used for Sonic Adventure's Presentation 1998, but it is much longer and containing all the lyrics, I dont think it is a placeholder, since sakamoto does things that Johny doesnt, i.e. Screaming like a maniac (in a cool way) during the guitar solo and a long "GAAAAAAH!" before the final bridge, what I think happened here is Jun happens to really like hardline but before he could get Johny he really wanted Eizo to take it seriously if Johny doesn't show up. No high quality or original audio has been surfaced, but I recommend Grim Paper's 3rd version if you want to experience it (Edit: also the Razed remix contains the early EARLY demo lyrics too, "Searve my weary eyes, somebody realise" something like that)
I FOUND IT. THE CIRCUIT FREQ REMIX. FINALLY. I WAS TRYING TO FIND THAT EVER SINCE I FIRST SAW THE ORIGINAL SONIC 06 TRAILER, SINCE IT WAS USED IN THAT. THANK. YOU.
They didn't re-record the vocals for the chorus of the Circuit Freq remix, they just replaced the main vocal melody with the harmony. You can hear it in the original recording, just a lot quieter in the mix and with more effects added in post.
Just got the CD remix album for Sonic Adventure early in the morning today at 11:44a.m. and it's the Sonic Adventure Remix CD and I'm listening to it while watching this! 3:35p.m. 1/23/2024
This video answered so many questions for me! I always heard so many versions over the years, but I wasn't sure if I was just imagining things or remembering wrong haha.
Wow! This was a pretty informative and interesting video. Had no clue there were THAT many remixes of my favorite 3D era Sonic song! Very impressive. I'll sub ya! Thanks for posting this video! :)
My favorite will always be the 2009 version. It's so much cleaner and it's kinda sad that it's bearly used by sega over the original one and also gets much less love

You've actually missed a version! There was an even earlier demo to the song found on an old "Radio DC" broadcast by WaveMaster, which you can hear at: th-cam.com/video/_vEi3D8pDMM/w-d-xo.html
As a big JAM Project and Animetal fan, it makes me sad seeing so many people in the comments hating on the Eizo version. I'd personally love if Sega got Eizo to do a re-recording of it, as I much prefer his crazy metal squeal after the guitar solo, over Johnny's "Alright...yeah."
I was just listening to Crush 40's self titled album recently and the Open Your Heart track in that album is actually the Super Sonic story credits version
God, I remember when I was new to sonic. I wanted the toys so bad. I remember your super shadow unboxing, and that was i dont even know how long ago....
the Sonic Runners reminds me of a bunch of Guilty Gear -Sign- songs where they had a guitar very clearly standing in for vocals till Naoki sung vocals for them in Revelator
K-club link doesn’t lead to an available video Good link: th-cam.com/video/n1MoeRuh3K8/w-d-xo.html Same with dream figure skating Good link: th-cam.com/video/TToCvHOyVwk/w-d-xo.html Same with the runners version Found a short version and 2 longer versions Think that version 2 is the one that the video was being mentioned Short: th-cam.com/video/MuX1h1qLA8Q/w-d-xo.html Version 1: th-cam.com/video/aufhExI7Q9o/w-d-xo.html Version 2: th-cam.com/video/Dwxatl-Q-Jk/w-d-xo.html
I could have sworn the “Early Demo Version” at 10:15 also appears somewhere in the Sonic universe, I think when the game audio is set to Japanese? Or maybe early trailers for the game before release?
I always wondered how many versions did this song have due to noticing slight variations ingame and when listening to the different open your heart spotify tracks.
Hey man, I truly enjoyed this video of yours as I absolutely love Open Your Heart as one of the all time greats performed by Crush 40 and soundtracks for the Sonic game series. The Open Your Heart album version you mentioned in your video belonging to Super Sonic Songs actually was released in 2009, not 2007 as that year belongs to the True Blue album if I recall correctly. The Super Sonic Song album features Knight of the Wind, which came out in 2009. Just giving constructive criticism, not intending to offend you as I love your content dude 👍

I'm glad someone's obsessed with this song as much as I am
Bro, same. I feel it is unhealthy how much I still listen to this song.
I am too
Yup, usually live and learn gets all the praise. But open your heart is just precious.
I am too obsessed with this song
@Captain D. Bijutsukan It is my ring tone afterall!
I think the different versions of "It Doesn't Matter" would be interesting to compare.
@@MayaTragicLove 👦
I Wonder How Many Versions Of Knight Of The Wind Exists
My personal fav is the sa2 version.

Funny that this song is STILL, to this day, my pump up song for running or whatever else I'm doing XD
Even three years later?
@@The_Man_Who_Sold_the_World. Yes, it is
@@zachb4561 Wow, nice!
What about 5 years later?
@@akesan2374 Yes, even 5 years later
I think them at the start singing OOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHH is really good and changes it up
This is the first time in over 20 years I've heard the versions from the Sonic Adventure techno remix CD. You have no idea how glad I am someone delved into that.
15:15 That line was cleaner than my glasses
My god, the early demo version sounds like he's trying to so hard to vomit while singing. I guess, "CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!", makes more sense now.
Correction, to NOT vomit while singing, thought I typed that in, oops!
Oof
The early demo version guy sounds like a metal singer for a dragon ball z lyrical song. Maybe from the anime or video game.
I had just ate and the laughing nearly made me vomit
It kind of sounds more like it’s sung by Homestar Runner
it's so unusual to hear this song without "OPEN YOUR HEEEAAART" at the end, like, didn't the opening have it?
Listen, there's only so many times I can open my heart and I DEFINETLY can't open it 20+ times.
You'd think there'd be a version with the storm, the "woah right" at the start, the missing backing vocals and the vocal flourishes from the end by now.
I get chills every time with number 3. I had played almost every Sonic game before I played the first Sonic Adventure. I fully understood what the game meant for the franchise and I knew the song was awesome. When the intro switched over to the lyrics it felt awesome.
Docter: You have 20 minutes to live
me:
Doesn't get to see the last 14 seconds, lol
Also, a longer version of the prototype was used during the character introduction at the Tokyo International Forums.
I like these kinds of videos, you should definitely do more like this.
Zacharoni i agree bro
I like the original version best
Edit: Nevermind I just LOVE the dragged out guitar in the end of the album ver.
Valle I like generations
I like the album best. Still, Open Your Heart is amazing!!
Best of album one for me sounds amazing for me
@Ryan Fanstone naa the chorus in the generations version sounds so off
@Ryan Fanstone Much more guitar in the Original/Album version. And I personally love that
Oh god that clip with looping theme for the final boss for some reason just made me realize how much more epic that boss fight is than we give it credit for.

My favorite version has to be Crush 40 vs Bentley Jones!
Same
a 20 minute video of one song
COUNT ME IN
I remember there was a demo version of the K-Klub remix that was featured in the Nazo Unleashed fan animation years before the official release, which to this day I still wonder where the animator had got it from.
Anyway, great video, I would like to see Dreams of an Absolution to be covered since it had a considerable amount of versions/remixes.
Wasn't it The Return Of Nazo?
Very interesting. The track definitely wasn't made by a fan?

I didn't know Eizou Sakamoto recorded a demo. I learned something today.
What's the song in this video?
Darude Sandstorm
Isa's Happy Hour Are you f*cking serious ?
Isa's Happy Hour I think it's Open Your Heart but it's just a hunch
^ Maybe...
Isa's Happy Hour I think is sonic boom from sonic cd
I learned a lot from this video! Thank you for making it!
I FOUND IT. THE CIRCUIT FREQ REMIX. FINALLY. I WAS TRYING TO FIND THAT EVER SINCE I FIRST SAW THE ORIGINAL SONIC 06 TRAILER, SINCE IT WAS USED IN THAT. THANK. YOU.
The Circuit Freq remix was for Generations though
@@FallenAngel2k02 I found this out like a month after I posted that but also don't like deleting my comments whoops
8:01 oh, so thats where hortinus got his intro theme
Man all these remixes brings me back so hard i remember hearing nearly every one of them I LOVE THIS SONG STILL
They didn't re-record the vocals for the chorus of the Circuit Freq remix, they just replaced the main vocal melody with the harmony. You can hear it in the original recording, just a lot quieter in the mix and with more effects added in post.
Definitely the Mario & Sonic series has amazing remixes of the OG songs. 😭❤️
I KNEW THERE WAS A VERSION OF OPEN YOUR HEART WHERE JHONNY SAYS "ALRIGHT" AT THE VERY BEGINING I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY
The early demo version cracked me up XD

Could you do Many Versions of His World?
His world has so many variations
There must be many. Hey who here likes Sonic 06? Me. Who else?
14. Fucking 14 different versions.
I can never get sick of this song, I heard it a solid 10 times in this video and it didn’t get old
absolutly awesome, would apreciate if you did the same with the other songs and their remixes and such
I'm glad you posted the Adventure Remix album. Such an obscure curiosity.
Hello PatMac! Haha, just teasing! X3
(Edit: I think I'm in love with the album version...)
5:05 eggman looks epic
Damn I'm been listening to the Band for years and I still do listen to there songs but I didn't know there were that many Open Your Heart's. lol
My favorite will always be the 2009 version. It's so much cleaner and it's kinda sad that it's bearly used by sega over the original one and also gets much less love
It is time to open 22 of your hearts and ROCK IT! 😊🎸🎶
What I'm jamming to, the day before my first job. Intense main character energy emanating from this video.
My favourite is the Super Sonic End Credits with a clear "yeahhhh" at the end.
Jingle E/5 got used in the main menu for Sonic Mania when using a Modern Sonic Mod by Hortinus. Kinda cool that I know where that came from now.
7:52
Jingle E used to be my ringtone.
That was years ago, but it stil provoked a "jingle E = phonecall" reaction in my head for picosecond
Can't hold on much longer but I will never let go! 🎤
would love to see this for live and learn as well!
Versions of "Live And Learn"?
All the LIVE versions are different to the oficial release, and also in "Multi-dimensional"
I've now opened my heart
Thank you for making this
15:41 great song
The original, the Generations and the MJZ mix are my favourite 💙
Thanks for the video dude.

Oh wow that's pretty interesting 12:47p.m. 9/18/2022
As a big JAM Project and Animetal fan, it makes me sad seeing so many people in the comments hating on the Eizo version. I'd personally love if Sega got Eizo to do a re-recording of it, as I much prefer his crazy metal squeal after the guitar solo, over Johnny's "Alright...yeah."
Kinda with you there tbh. It doesn't help that the demo shown in this video isn't even the completed version of Eizo's take.
I was just listening to Crush 40's self titled album recently and the Open Your Heart track in that album is actually the Super Sonic story credits version
This was my favorite sonic vocal track until Endless Possibilities and basically everything in Frontier
God, I remember when I was new to sonic. I wanted the toys so bad. I remember your super shadow unboxing, and that was i dont even know how long ago....
This was great! I think I like Bentley Jones version almost as much as the original
Man how I wish you'd do a video like this for Live and Learn. I would love to see it.
Ah Yes, the Song that Plays when a Superpowered Hedgehog Fights a Giant Alligator/Dragon that Provokes us to Open Our Hearts.
the credits version is still far and away my favorite variant of this song, and I'm surprised it's never been released on any albums or OSTs
13:31 Cool Remix Dude. :):)
Sonic Adventure and Adventure 2 are probably tied for my favorite sonic games and this song is probably my favorite in the franchise.
Whatever the version, this song slaps.
I've heard that Jingle 5 was used in a DLC for the Dreamcast Version. Something about a leader board of some kind.
15:05 should be called persona 5 edition
i just realized the transmutator remix uses the old lyrics at the beginning
Im only 3 minutes into the video and i just realized:
"Oh wait i thought i had the original version but i have the album version XD"
the Sonic Runners reminds me of a bunch of Guilty Gear -Sign- songs where they had a guitar very clearly standing in for vocals till Naoki sung vocals for them in Revelator
Am I the only person that can't her the sound of thunder without playing this song in my head?
My favorite is early demo 😁
Fun fact: Circuit Freq are/were a side project from 2 members of Julien-K
Open your heart is awesome
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!

I might be wrong, but I thought Sonic Gems Collection also had another remix of Open Your Heart.
The Chris Randall/Van Christie mix sounds like Devil May Cry music

Gotta say the "vs bentley" jones version is such a tune, had no idea there were so many different versions of the song though!
Long time no see
bickuribox12 hey man! Been way too long, hoping to maybe get back in the game soon!
DarkLordPikachu stopmotions glad to hear it!
Album version is probably my favourite
That Bentley Jones Remix is lit! 🔥
The Crush 40 vs. Bentley Jones remix reminds me of Seven Rings In Hands
album version is so much better than the base version, the intro and outro just make it for me, i wouldn't have the song any other way without them
I don't know why but this makes me happy I finished this game
I like the 2007 mix the most, I think it'd be the best version of the song if it just had the "Yeah yeaaahhhh...." at the end of it.
17:18 I think that's a re-remix of the pinball party one
Sounds like it XD
No they used it in Dream figure skating coz it had a boss battle vs him

I remember hearing a version of open your heart in sonic runners. Though it sounded nothing like the one you put on here.
Runners revival might have it too. Check it out.
@piplupfan77 Jingle E/5 was actually used on the World Ranking Page.
Very amazing video!
The Bentley Jones version is probably my favorite version
