    d memories final fantasy. I am sure she would love if i learned this for her birthday.

  • i believe this is 1 difficult song to master for guitarist in ff7. but my most fav song anyway

  • he made it look like it was too easy but it is not

  • I do the same thing your song does. Only thing I don't have a father that plays guitar as well as you lol! Thank you for this lovely arragements you make, you're awesome!

  • Its most definitely the music of this game that makes it so real. Thanks.

    I love your work! Thank you so much!

    Cheers!

  • very nice. brings me back to ps1 days. Whats your setup? Your guitar sounds beautiful. I look forward to hearing more.

  • Could you link tabs with cords, i really want to learn how to play this song its so beautiful!

  • I think of Cloud and Aerith's date scene...... T_T

  • You nearly made me cry. You have a great talent. Continue like this. ;)

  • 4 People got stood up by Barrett

  • I never realized I could use harmonics to tune the 2nd string with the 6th string thanks for showing us that! or hmm I'm confused but I will mess around and figure it out

  • I never realized I could use harmonics to tune the 2nd string with the 6th string thanks for showing us that!

  • One of the most poignant compositions Uematsu-san ever achieved, and this is a beautiful arrangement =) Thank you so much!

  • 質問なんですが、モーリスで弾いてる時のピックアップは何を使っ­てるんですか?

    見たところ、グヤトーンっぽいんですが・・・

  • @qohdiexs

    明けましておめでとうございます!

    ドイツのSHADOWというメーカーのピックアップです。

  • You brought back memories and emotions from 12 years ago when I first played ffvii... Now, 26 years old feeling like 14 again. Thank you so very much Lon-sensi :')

    i do feel a bit of pain hearing this

    memories, loves lost, a pining for the days of your youth

    all long gone. and there is no time to look back, only to move forward and bear the unknown that awaits

  • amazing music. all your songs from final fantasy are truly amazing. this one is especially beautiful. i'm picking up guitar again because of your pieces.

  • I so want to learn how to play this one...

    You play it so beautifully, and I made lyrics... <33 Love your work keep it up :3

  • Pure artistry. You play this like someone who has played the game and truly understands the emotional impact of every track. I also greatly appreciate that you were true to the original versions of each and didn't jazz them up in a "piano collections" style.

  • I'm 15 again... I had really forgot how this music made me feel... Thank you for sharing!!!!

  • listening to you play this nearly brought a tear to my eye , ive been trying to find tabs for the way you play these songs but im not quite that good yet its hard on tab, you are an amazing guitarist you should do lessons if you dont already

  • Yeah you have no idea how much were all in our world listening to that.. everything fade out..feels good..again

  • shivers, then tears.. you play beautifully I hope one day I can be half as good..

    Oh the memories.. <3

  • lonlonjp, i have been a fan of the final fantasy series since i was around 6 or 7 years old. VII was the first one i played, listening to all your recordings really give's me a sense of nostalgia. You are so talented, please keep it up

  • I still come back to this post after many years. I still love it! Thanks for sharing this, my friend. This song is definitely one of my top 10 favorite tracks of all time.

  • You have nearly the whole selection of music from the FF7 video game in your repertoire... if not actually the whole selection! I am very impressed and very grateful!

  • I remember Aerith kept saying "I want to MEET you" and Cloud was like "HUH?"

    Anyway this was played so perfectly.

  • lonlonjp - I don't know where you got your talent from, but you have a way of strongly representing Uematsu-san's work in a classical and expressive way. There's a richness to the tones you bring to these works. I've spent the better part of the last two hours listening to your FF7 song videos, and I've been pleasantly surprised with each of them in turn. As guitar player who aspires to master the instrument some day, you give me hope and reason to continue. Thanks for keeping this music alive.

  • Brilliant tune and you did a great job of it. Seriously well done.

  • what for effects do you use in this video? delay or reverb?  greets^^

  • lonlonjp teach me sensei!!!!!!

  • dude thats really good XD

    i love this tune and the scene

  • may you have some tabs?

  • definitely one of my favourites. gotta say you've got good taste in music! there's not alot i like, but this is one of those things that i do like. i don't know what else to say but thank you for this music.

  • i cant wait to learn this, beautifully arranged and played lonlonjp, very emotional song,

  • You've played this piece so wonderfully. It makes you stop, listen, and remember alot of things of when you've played the game. It also makes you remember whats important. This particular song brings up alot of mixed feelings for me, so I remember a bunch of mixed memories. This song is one of my favorites from FFVII. Thank you for playing it. =D

  • The best game of all time. I have so many fond memories as a child playing this game. Listening to the music played so well just brings it all back.

  • Agree v.v

  • Again I have just reached this point in the game, and I'm afraid to continue, because I know what waits for me up ahead.

  • it looks like it is easy to play in the video but it is not. i really like to listen to this piece. thanks

  • Yeah I know! It's like you see people playing, and your like "that looks easy" then you try it and your like "what the heck... how do they do it?"

  • shit dude, theres so many fantastic emotions when i hear this.

    it sounds lame but this game made such an impact on me when i was younger i still play it to this day.

    im going to study this video of yours and learn how to play this

    thx man.

  • Holy crow!

    That is great.

  • i already know mainly "the nightmare begins" awesome and E"arith theem" next is one winged angel, prelude, main theem and this (will kome in handy for a date he)

  • I really love this song so much.. you dont really know if you should feel sad or happy when you hear it. theres so many feelings in it.

    Right now im trying to learn Descendant of a shinobi. after that one i will get to this one.

    Although your Easy/Moderate songs are not so easy for me xD but i keep on training because i really love playing these kind of music on the guitar, and its the only reason i play guitar.

    Great job man 5/5

  • That's the only one reason why I bought the guitar one year ago...as far as I remember, I play only ff songs...

  • Incredible. You're only the second person I'm subscribing to on Youtube. You have some serious skill.

  • Thanks subscribing, Jereplofje ^^

    i am proud of your comment =)

  • hail to the master! lonlon (Y)

  • Just watching you play guitar makes me want to practice so much more, I want to be as god as you.

  • Thanks listening ^^

    i love playing this song so much =)

  • lonlonjp which is the best steel string guitar of yours? i like this one the most, how much does it cost?

  • haha... it costed me about $400 in 1975 ^^

  • All your videos are amazing lonlon. It's astonishing how well you can play every instrumental part all by yourself on just one guitar.

    Just amazing.

  • Thanks watching ^o^

  • wish i could play that good :(

    brings back memories .. cool ff7 memories :D ow and btw goodjob! you made like 0 mistakes :O really really nice :D

  • i probably comment on your videos 4 times every month

    ive got nothing but respect for you lonlon

    keep doing your thing

    maybe one day i can be like you

  • Great. Fantastic.

    ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

  • i just happened to play the beginning of this and I couldn't put the name on the song, thanks!

  • haha.... xD my pleasure ^0^

  • Thanks for your kind message :)

  • i wish i could read sheet music or have your fingers

  • haha.. i do not recommend you to have my fingers... they are too short xD

  • Awesome. A beatuful song, beautifully played. Brings a lump to my throat everytime.

    Does anyone have any idea where I can get a tab for the solo version? I've looked all over the net and in every shop but I can't find it.....

  • Thanks you so much for this video. It gives me a very strong nostalgic feeling and while the game was very fun, i remember i loved it for its music. And your wonderful guitar playing makes it that much better

  • This is beautiful =') I almost have to hold in the tears it's so amazing, as you wonderfully put it, it's extremely painful to this of what happens later on =(

    10/10 :)

  • Thanks so much for your nice comment ^-^

  • Lol if they played this on the Barrett date :p

  • I can't get over this! i just love it. Reminds so much of my childhood and great times, thank you for doing this!

    Best wishes from Dominican Republic!

  • wow! Dominican Republic ^-^

    i have never been there, but would like to someday :)

  • Nobuo is awesome! He made many ff7 songs melody and sound is almost same (main theme, on that day 5 years ago, holding my thoughts in myheart, who am i, and this song)

    If you listen, sounds is different but the styles is same. He used all instruments (flute, guitar, violin, etc) and make the greatest OST ever!

    Final Fantasy VII, greatest game ever!!!

  • i feel like playin the game all over again jus to hear dis part :)

    fantastic!

  • Thanks very much indeed for your nice comment ^-^

  • Very hard song, more suited to piano i think, one of my favorites from the game though, Nobuo at his finest.

    Good job!

    This also plays when Cait Sith the First sacrifices himself at the Temple of the Ancients.

  • cheers*

  • i was looking for this the music hit me after i looked at a tab so i looked and your the first thing that came up and i must say you play this beautifully with grace :) makes me smile :) anyway thankies ^_^

  • Thanks watching and posting your comment ^-^

  • I was humming this tune the other day and couldn't remember for the life of me where it was from much less what it was called. I was listening to some of your other stuff and later on found this. Thank you so much for putting these up. You do a great job on each piece.

  • Thanks for your nice comment ^-^

  • That was wonderful. Thank you.

  • My pleasure ^-^

  • Thank you lonlon. I could listen to this song forever without it stopping. Its so beautiful. I'm going to bring out my guitar and try to learn it myself.

  • Thanks listening to this video and your comment ^-^

    Your guitar would be happy with your decision =)

  • ahhhhh man i love this song. do you have the tabs for it by any chance???????? i would love it if you did

  • This is my gutiar arrangement. i wrote the guitar sheet music note by note by my hand. On the other side, an official version is available, entitled as "FF Solo Guitar Collection".

  • teaching much? :D

  • jaojao i would love that my dad could play the guitar like you do, but the only instrument he can play is his celphone xD nah i'm kidding he's a great dad but it would be cool xD

    i remember that one of the many times that i played this game i got barret on the ferris xDD it was so funny, not that romantic though xD

  • thank you for you advise^^

  • you are always welcome here ^-^

  • right now i have a little problem at school that make me want to change a school so my head right now a little confused but after i hear this song my mind calm a little bit..nice play lonlonjp^^

  • Sometimes i was wondering, if i could or would change my current work... whether yes or no depended on my mood on that date. Sometimes i wonder i could face my problem or should i escape from it...

    All i can say is to face it directly would be a nicer one... :)

  • about two or three years ago(im 16 or 17). i ride in a ferris wheel with a boy. it was just days before new year( i think). as i sit in the ferrris wheel, this sound keeps playing in my head. a we go up little by little, the sound in my head seems getting louder and louder. by the time we reach the top, fireworks start popping at the sky. i was really really red that day.

    i never played the game, i just watch my brother. i just love listening and watching.

    thanks mr.lonlonjp *hugs*

  • i really appreciate your lovely comment on this song =)

  • i totally agree with you ;)

  • Great job, how did you do that fingertap-harmonic thing near the end?

  • Thanks watching this video^^

    i did it in a normal way =D

    Touching a string by the index finger, i picked by the ringer figer.

  • Ohh I see what you did now. Thanks a lot. I saw that harmonic a few times in your other videos. Not knowing how to do that myself began to bug me, so I had to ask. Thanks for answering.

    Funny thing was before I figured it out, I'd touch the string and I'd just mute it instead.

  • ur son sure happy can everyday hear u playing guitar ~

  • haha... he is now a bit nervous, extremely busy preparing for the entrance examination of the same university where i graduated^^

    you may know, in Japan, entrance exam is very tough like hell.

  • like in Your info to this video, yup, kind of pain can be feel, for me.

    again, great job~!

  • Thanks listening to this video, ShizukaEarisu^^

  • i wish i could know what Nobuo was thinking at that time when he composed that song... is just makes me cry :s

    thanks for the arragment..A LOT! cheers ;)

  • cheers*

  • 5/5 yet again :)

  • Please try some more ff7 songs^^

    i love them all.

  • Woooow, love it! Keep up the good work! I'm more of a piano player myself. We should get together and play it together sometime! Ha ha :)

  • i have watched your channel.

    At this moment, there is no video there ;)

    Please upload some of your piano works.

    i would like to subscribe you but i cannot find a "subscribe" bottom on your channel.

  • Unfortunatly I have no means of putting my videos on youtube at the moment. But as soon as I get a recording device, I shall put them on. I am really busy working on "those who fight" and "jenova"... OMFG, hard... :)

  • ok! i am looking forward to seeing them^^

  • Sadly, it might take a while, but when I do I will be sure to notify you!

    my son would be proud of your comment =D

  • this is the greatest final fantasy song ever. you play it beautifully

  • Thanks watching this video and posting your nice comment^^

    My first son loves this song so much. i think that may be one of the reason why i started arranging ff songs on solo guitar on YouTube. He sings along with my guitar when i play this song. This song has such kind of magical memories within it.

    cheers
