Dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me atm you can stream all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf for the last days =)
@@szkokee my art class is on a cart this year. It's rough, but it won't be this way forever. I still play this about every other day in my office (former/future classroom).
I don't know why or how to explain it, but every time i play(still do) Shenmue and I hear this theme, it feels like I'm connecting mentally. It feels like it immediately makes me feel 5 different ways of emotions. It triggers my sadness, my forgotten memories, it reminds me of things I failed, it makes me feel positive and want to do better in life, and it reminds me of my surroundings deep in thought. And sometimes it makes me wish things had went differently in life on so many occasions. This music really captivates my senses and does an amazing job of making me feel something more than just a game music track. This theme just connects spiritually. I love Shenmue. The first game holds a special place in my heart. From the time in my life, my friends at the time, it reminds me of the years that were 1999-2001, school during this time, pop culture, the music industry, how far technology came and was going and the evolution of gaming and grapgics. Everything about this music is perfect. I'm glad it shares a big fan base. I used to always think when I was a kid that I couldn't tell anyone I liked these types of themes because it wasn't cool or I'd get picked on. Thanks Shenmue
This is super dorky but sometimes when I go out and walk around different places where I live, I like to listen to the exploration music from Shenmue. It almost feels like I'm "in" the game haha.
On the few occasions I'm able to listen to music while I'm at work, I would listen to the music that plays when you're doing your forklift job. It totally helps get shit done.
This soundtrack leads me back to my youth, how I wish I could go back. I miss my mother, I miss what my life might have been, Shenmue and Ryo connect me spiritually. For all the money the game cost to produce, the game changed my life forever, Thank you Yu.
This track really captures the feeling of being lost, more specifically lost in thought, thoughts overlapping each other, memories replying in your head. You can imagine ryo is thinking about lan di, his father, his family, his resonsibilities, and his friends, as he slowly but surely accepts that he has to leave everything behind to get his revenge. I think this track also expresses being in an unfamiliar location from the players perspective, the winding roads, cramped neighborhood, and the strangers that we see on our journey, and all the clues we need to memorize. It reflects Ryo's mind as well as ours.
Wow 😮 Enough Said, yeah this is when you leave the house for the first time, for me also captures and communicates the vast world of shenmue, that a great journey is going to take place. Beautiful track,one of my favorites as well as Hazuki Residence’s track
Ryo: Tom. Tom: Hey, Ryo. Ryo: Tell me more about those men in that black car. Tom: What? Ryo: Nozomi told me you had words with those in the black car. Tom: N...no, I don't remember. Ryo: They might be the ones that murdered my father. Tom: Your father? Ryo: If you know, please tell me. Tom: Alright mon, I'll try.
Tom: I saw a guy wearing a weird coat. Ryo: What kind of coat? Tom: It was a deep green. Maybe velvet or silk. Like something Chinese. Ryo: Did you see who was in the car? Tom: They almost hit one of my customers so I gave them a piece of my mind. But that man, he gave me this glare. I ain't never seen such a cold stare mon. Fucking love that line. Awe nostalgia.
So nostalgic. I've been playing the Shenmue 1 HD for the last few days in my apartment. I'm living in Japan now and this game inspired me to come here. I even went to Hong Kong! Thanks Shenmue!
I have Multiple Sclerosis in the baddest mode (PPMS) I am doing my stretsing and my exercises and I'm listening to this masterpiece when I'm doing my exercise in 2023.This soundtrack calms me, music helps.....!!
@@Aaliyahbaby19it was amazing! My friend who lived in Yokohama and has to go to Yokosuka a few times was like… Why would you even do that? Hahaha. But being on Dobuita street and being in places that inspired the area was worth it!
@@vmboYES! I followed mostly everything. I went to the temple as well but stopped when I saw the sign that said that US Military personnel wasn’t allowed in the area. And being a foreigner, I didn’t want to cause any trouble. It was a once in a lifetime experience i’ll never forget.
This track alone is the reason Shenmue is such a masterpiece (yes, this wonderfully ambiguous track alone sets the tone perfectly and gets the job done).
As most people have already said, this track sets the mood and atmosphere of the beginning of the game perfectly. It’s so masterfully crafted. This track literally is the feeling of “lost” and “loss”. Overlapping thoughts of what Ryo went through, thoughts of the loss of his Father, thoughts of regret that he could have done. All of these emotions are what Ryo are going through. And not only that but with us as the player in our own personal lives.
The Dreamcast has a very special place in my heart. Even though I mostly played on the PS2 back then, the Dreamcast and Sega in general just had that certain vibe to it. Truly dreamy…
One of those emotions you just can't describe. Ok I know that the guy just lost his dad and all, but the vibe in the music is something much more ambiguous - that's a sound I love in music. I forgot about this piece, thanks for uploading!
I also feel there's something hidden behind Shenmue's music, especially behind this theme. Unnerving, restless, but focussing and calming as well. Like a fog wave.
I was 17 when I got Shenmue and turned 37 this August. You know you're getting older but it doesn't feel that long ago. Mentally, physically, I still feel every bit as young thankfully.
@@collydub1987 alive and well, i’m fortunate to now have a wonderful baby boy who’s turning one year old in a few days. Amazing what can happen in life❤️.
Did not have money, was dependant on my mother, had to go to school, do homework....but compared to adulthood i felt much more free and happier as a kid, playing with my friends after school, playing the few video games my mom could afford with my brother at home, waiting for her to come home from work. Now i have "all the money" to buy any console, any game, just what i wished as a kid but its just not the same, not so engaging 20 years later sadly. As we just borrowed the Dreamcast for 1 month in exchange of our PS2, I still remember after reading the magazines about Shenmue 2 and its playthrough for years. Imagining what is like to be to continue. I know its said many many times but still ...it was a much more innocent and joyful time.
I fell you bro. Tho I never had shenmue, but I had a dreamcast and other games. I am currently experiencing it for the first time almost 25 years after the release.
this song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of checking every door in the town to find one resident then after checking all the doors finding a map to the town telling you where the door you were looking for is only for you then to realise that you were checking doors too late in the day and have to walk back to the house to sleep before interacting with the door you were looking for, only to give up shortly after and open sonic the hedgehog figures in-game for the next 30 minutes
I remember playing recently and I spent hours roaming just the very beginning parts, knocking on doors, wandering. I deeply fantasized about the idea that this was the land of the dead. It added this layer of sadness and strange emotional bond with the environment, the people. It's so strange to imagine this to be a world stuck in time. The way conversations are so quick, sharp & limited it's like everyone's in a daze, asleep to themselves in a dream world. The way that no one ever helps the grandmother unless you show up is so heart wrenching from this perspective. The only one awake, and as you play you stir them awake for a brief time before they resume themselves back to sleep. As if playing a copy of this game, creates an instance of that reality, bringing it to life for a time. This haunting music that consistently plays throughout adds to the surreal nature of the melancholic atmosphere/environments. I just want to get lost for hours in a dream world with this exact surrealness to it, embracing a distant, soul wandering journey.
I partially owe Shenmue for influencing me to migrate to Japan some 10 years ago. Shemue, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, and a few manga and anime. Still, when I walk around a new area of Japan, particularly a countryside area, this music always plays in my mind. Listening to this music makes my heart ache like no other form of music.
This piece has sent chills down my spine more recently than from when I first played it as a child. The only piece of fiction I have experienced which captures in such harrowing detail the feeling of being in a depression. The aimless running around trying to live a normal life, a life day by day in the depths of it all. In the background you feel like something isn’t right but you are living in denial. You can’t possibly comprehend the calamity of your situation and how nothing will ever be the same. A hauntingly masterful video game.
This game changed my life, and this song really makes me feel nostalgic, such a simple but deep tune. I was already a little bit interested in Japan at that time and after playing this game, I started to think I should at least try to go there for some internship. I ended up doing so in 2007 during 3 months, loved it so much that I decided to go back again for another internship and as an exchange student back in 2008. I’ve been living in Japan since 2008. There are equally good things and things that I don’t like in this country, but I think overall it has been a good experience.
I use to play this track after getting home from high school and just reflecting on my day then start doing homework (going between breaks to play the Shenmue and then back to homework.) This track takes me back, that and my Starbucks double shots to this tune
going to walk in the park and just listening to this really easy up the mind a bit. I want to say thank you to this composer for making such a Legendary track
Most chilled tracks ever, love it. Shenmue wanted you to live in its world, feel everything around; to take your time and digest. I could listen to these all day long.
@StudioMG shame how much better it would of been,if those npcs would of actually help.been nice if u could of went in people houses to chat and look around. Every house u knock they were out
Reminds of the time I was playing my dreamcast when it was "taken away" as a kid. I would play this and Chronicles of Pern Dragon riders in the dark of night while the house was asleep. Fond memories aside games wise
I remember in 1999 when the game came out in the game. I stood in one spot, and I put my tape recorder to record this song as I didn’t get have a CD Walkman yet oh the memories of walking around my little town with my tape player with the song playing those were good relaxing memories
Ahhh, I was 17 when this released in the USA. I remember the Official Dreamcast Magazine with Ryo on the cover and a demo disc showing a movie 'What's Shenmue'. I need a time machine. I have to my knowledge all the Shenmue music on my pc thanks to Shenmue Dojo! and Emuparadise.
@@collydub1987 We're getting old, can you believe it? I'll be 40 next year! Where does the time go? When I hear this track I'm taken back to those days of my life. The youthfulness, care free living, hanging out with my friend every week end.
My dad played this game when I was little he later let me have the whole Dreamcast system it was so many collections but this one stuck out , 6 or 7 years old playing this game beating up the men in the bars 😭 walking through their village area playing with the cat 🐈⬛ this brings so many memories , now that my dad transitioned 🙏🏽in 08 I always come back and listen to this . My first game system , I’ll never forget💜
I have a friend who chose to transition some years back. She found life real tough at the time but we all supported her decision and now she's in a much better place!!
I want to live there :) This game is so unique. I got it for the Dreamcast in December 2000. I love this soundtrack, it takes me back, how it felt to play it for the first time. One of my absolute favorite games.
This remembers me of the time when I was like.. 7 / 8 years old. Didn't know how to beat the game but collecting some figures, walking through the cities there and play this game with my cousin on rainy days. Those days were great tho! And don't know why, but the calming soundtrack just feels like the days when me and my mother went shopping on saturday mornings and walked through the forest to get to the little town here in germany to buy stuff etc. Just loved those days! Especially when there were rainy days. Came home from shopping with my mum, turned on our dreamcast and played this game while drinking tea or something. G r e a t! I was in korea last year and I dont know why, but I had nearly the same feeling there because of the atmosphere of some old towns! Shenmue is a very important game in my life!
I just walked at an abandoned neighborhood I used to live in while this played, I got sad knowing the fact they will be demolishing the place soon. All those memories will be gone.
You get it. Things have memories too. I also feel devastated whenever a place important to my life is demolished with total indifference towards the dear memories it carries.
@@sandman8920 So yseterday I was out so I see a guy with a leather coat on so I ask him do you know a guy called Charlie he look so dazed and confused so thankfuly he has play that b4 as well!.. so on that day?. snow and the rain?
"Excuse me" "WHAT!" "Is it true that Shenmue 3 is out already!?!" "NO!!!,it ain't you imbecile,it got delayed until November 19th 2019" "I see.....thank you very much"
I want to live in the world of this game when I hear that music (I know this sounds very creepy ;-D ). Hopefully Shenmue 3 will be as good as we imaniged it all the years.
I always listen to this song when I'm out and about or just going for a joy ride.. almost feel like yo hasuki and asking on that day do u remember the snow and the rain..❤
Who here thinks Ryo should go back to take care of his grandmother and marry nazomi while at the same time training in his father's dojo to be skilled enough to finally take out Lan Di. Shenmue 4 .... back in Japan.
I was 16 when I played shenmue 1 on my dreamcast now Im 32 oh my god what A feeling Im having right now that shenmue 3 is comming!!!! I Realy realy realy Miss my Sega Dreamcast !
This reminds me of when you first get into Yamanose, and you spend almost all your money trying to get all of the gachapons for sonic the fighters and virtua fighter. Such somber and chill memories. :3
I was doing my adult paperwork while this was in the background so i would't get distracted... and I went to reach my Dreamcast controller, and I wasn't in Kansas anymore...
I remember i downloaded those FREE Shenmue Songs and use to play them on my 4th Generation iPod Nano and Walk around my house... By the Street Looked like Very Similar to Dobuita... lol
gabriel montreuil Oh, I get it, if you lived in some place like Yamanose i should have moved to your area right away Haha.. I love neighborhoods with style of Yamanose. Hey, Ty!
Almir Th I wish sometimes that if i was a Billionaire... i would buy a land and Recreate the place Exactly like Yamanose from Hazuki Residence to the Bus Station! Or i could just move in Japan... lol
This is like the child of Silent Hill's White Noiz and Chopin's Funeral March. A soothing, yet tragic theme. The guy just lost his father to someone far stronger than him. Yet, he is confident about his quest of vengeance that has yet to be concluded to this day.
Its amazing how they really barely tried with the majority of walking songs in this game,yet what they did was so decent you dont get tired of hearing the like 20 to 40 second track over and over.

I was 16. Amazing times 🙂😊
Me too (17).
@Boxing Bro I had a friend who had it. He made me play it. Thankful to this day. Good times.
@@collydub1987 We're getting old, can you believe it? I'll be 40 next year! Where does the time go? When I hear this track I'm taken back to those days of my life. The youthfulness, care free living, hanging out with my friend every week end.
My dad played this game when I was little he later let me have the whole Dreamcast system it was so many collections but this one stuck out , 6 or 7 years old playing this game beating up the men in the bars 😭 walking through their village area playing with the cat 🐈⬛ this brings so many memories , now that my dad transitioned 🙏🏽in 08 I always come back and listen to this . My first game system , I’ll never forget💜
I have a friend who chose to transition some years back. She found life real tough at the time but we all supported her decision and now she's in a much better place!!
Condolences to your Dad.. 🕊️ I am just starting to know abt the OST and hope to play the game one day if possible!
@@kaytheledge ❤️🕊️
The environments in this game dont look very realistic, and yet theyre believably real. They feel like real places, even in dated graphics.
This is the sound of gaming heaven. Absolutely nostalgic and heartbreaking. :')
It does make you have a strange feeling alright. Like you're able to place yourself back to the time you played it so long ago.
The quality is godly a fresh breath of air to my ears
"They killed my father, right in front of me, I will have my revenge"
These words marked the beginning of a great saga.
Perfect music to take a walk to on a sunny day.
+Mister RON! A foggy day for me :-)
New Resident Evil Save Room Music I dig it, I dig it.
A cloudy day
Mister RON! Snowy day for me 😊
Mister RON! Nah, on a rainy day.
This and silent hill have some of the best ambience music
For sure
I want to live there :) This game is so unique. I got it for the Dreamcast in December 2000. I love this soundtrack, it takes me back, how it felt to play it for the first time. One of my absolute favorite games.
Day 1 music of a great game.
This made me easily sleep...so relaxing
The game that changed my life. Thank you Yu Suzuki.
"Meeeow"
Hehe. I bet you remember me don't ya?
This remembers me of the time when I was like.. 7 / 8 years old. Didn't know how to beat the game but collecting some figures, walking through the cities there and play this game with my cousin on rainy days. Those days were great tho!
And don't know why, but the calming soundtrack just feels like the days when me and my mother went shopping on saturday mornings and walked through the forest to get to the little town here in germany to buy stuff etc. Just loved those days!
Especially when there were rainy days.
Came home from shopping with my mum, turned on our dreamcast and played this game while drinking tea or something. G r e a t!
I was in korea last year and I dont know why, but I had nearly the same feeling there because of the atmosphere of some old towns! Shenmue is a very important game in my life!
The sound of Nostalgia :-)
I just walked at an abandoned neighborhood I used to live in while this played, I got sad knowing the fact they will be demolishing the place soon. All those memories will be gone.
You get it. Things have memories too. I also feel devastated whenever a place important to my life is demolished with total indifference towards the dear memories it carries.
"knock, knock"
"Perhaps they're out?"
I see. 🤔
Knock knock should't bother them 😁 ever met a guy named Charlie?
@@mrmikemorgan9901 😆
@@sandman8920 So yseterday I was out so I see a guy with a leather coat on so I ask him do you know a guy called Charlie he look so dazed and confused so thankfuly he has play that b4 as well!.. so on that day?. snow and the rain?
Always will be my favourite game, I love the music also, no other game will beat shenmue, a wonderful game
Best game I played in my life time :-)
great game very misunderstood in the 1999 :(
Barret yea some ppl didn't understand it..
@@wallywu5938 still don't
This transported me back in time
Listening while watching the snow fall outside.
"Excuse me"
"WHAT!"
"Is it true that Shenmue 3 is out already!?!"
"NO!!!,it ain't you imbecile,it got delayed until November 19th 2019"
"I see.....thank you very much"
This will never get old 🤟
I want to live in the world of this game when I hear that music (I know this sounds very creepy ;-D ). Hopefully Shenmue 3 will be as good as we imaniged it all the years.
FranzBinder20 hey!!!!!
.........it’s not.
me too, I just love those houses, you wonder about the people who live there
@@stefangranberg9319 I get you. I always thought that when I was a teenager playing it. You just wanted to know more about the world.
I always listen to this song when I'm out and about or just going for a joy ride.. almost feel like yo hasuki and asking on that day do u remember the snow and the rain..❤
"Meow!"...
Oh how i love this game
It will be interesting to replay Shenmue I and II after so long time for me. Can't wait and listen to the music.
Just don't play 3
@Colin Anderson it definitely wasn't what we wanted, but at least we got it.hope 4 will fix it.but also the new anime
I'll play this music while walking down dobuita street in Yokohama yokosuka.
It feels like home!! ❤
~pets kitten~
MEOW
"You're so cute."
lying in bed while listening to this song and contemplating the mistakes you've made
forgive yourself!
It hits differently
Yeah this beat makes me reflect.
@@Supreme-gu1jz exactly. depressed because I was too late for her & she found someone else now I wanna commit suicide
@@JohnSmith-uf3yn Do it.
I went running in my country park listening to this yesterday. Was really foggy and quiet and I recommend it
Playing Shenmue 3 and all I can think about is Shenmue 1. What an masterpiece.
i love this for study
23 years later, with a minor in Japanese, you realize the convenience store was a tobacco store.
This is the type of music that you would walk around outside at like 6 am when it’s really cold.
Very true man I do that every year for sure..
@@mrmikemorgan9901 I did this morning, lol
@@thepokemontrainer6094 😆tht's awsome lol..also known as have you seen a guy called charlie?
@@mrmikemorgan9901 Nope, havent seen him lol
Who here thinks Ryo should go back to take care of his grandmother and marry nazomi while at the same time training in his father's dojo to be skilled enough to finally take out Lan Di. Shenmue 4 .... back in Japan.
beautiful music....
This game is Bob Ross levels of therapeutic.
Cada vez que solía jugar Shenmue me viene una enorme nostalgia y al jugarlo es como si lo hubiera jugado desde ya hace muchos años.
Thank you to heaven and back 🙇🏾♂️
This chills me so hard
Best game of all time
Its make me sad. I miss the old days, its reminds me of playing the epic game.
Me too. A lot.
I was 16 when I played shenmue 1 on my dreamcast now Im 32 oh my god what A feeling Im having right now that shenmue 3 is comming!!!! I Realy realy realy Miss my Sega Dreamcast !
🥺🥺🥺🥺 pure nostalgia...
This reminds me of when you first get into Yamanose, and you spend almost all your money trying to get all of the gachapons for sonic the fighters and virtua fighter. Such somber and chill memories. :3
I can hear the cat meowing.
I was doing my adult paperwork while this was in the background so i would't get distracted... and I went to reach my Dreamcast controller, and I wasn't in Kansas anymore...
I remember i downloaded those FREE Shenmue Songs and use to play them on my 4th Generation iPod Nano and Walk around my house... By the Street Looked like Very Similar to Dobuita... lol
gabriel montreuil You live in a place similar to Yamanose? where?
Almir Th
I live in Montreal near a place called Marché Jean Talon and it really feels like Dobuita, Not Yamanose though... ^_^ lol
btw nice L picture.
gabriel montreuil Oh, I get it, if you lived in some place like Yamanose i should have moved to your area right away Haha.. I love neighborhoods with style of Yamanose.
Hey, Ty!
Almir Th
I wish sometimes that if i was a Billionaire... i would buy a land and Recreate the place Exactly like Yamanose from Hazuki Residence to the Bus Station!
Or i could just move in Japan... lol
Same look like the Caribbean islands as well with mountains tops and Hill's
This is like the child of Silent Hill's White Noiz and Chopin's Funeral March. A soothing, yet tragic theme. The guy just lost his father to someone far stronger than him. Yet, he is confident about his quest of vengeance that has yet to be concluded to this day.
Its amazing how they really barely tried with the majority of walking songs in this game,yet what they did was so decent you dont get tired of hearing the like 20 to 40 second track over and over.
Stephen Granville Trust me, as a musician, writing something that loops perfectly and doesn't get tiring is not 'barely trying'
I´m not a musician, but I was about to write something like this before I read you.
❤️ one of my best games i ever played in my life
So peaceful
