The Sunlit Earth ~ Shadow of the Colossus - Piano cover by HollowRiku

[ViolinistaGames]

Muito bom!

Eu sou do Brasil e pretendo abrir um canal com covers tocado por mim ou no Violino Acústico ou no Elétrico. Teus vídeos me deram mais inspiração para estudar e ampliar meu conhecimento para área do piano/teclado.

Obrigado

[HollowRiku]

@ViolinistaGames Thank you so much for your comment violinista! Good luck with your Violin channel!! Obrigado!

[darkmetroidhero]

@HollowRiku was this hard to learn?

[HollowRiku]

@darkmetroidhero No! =3 It's an easy piece to play and learn if you've been playing the piano for a while!

[Faeness]

You aren't married yet are you? We're the same age you know... ;D

Just kidding (maybe......). xD A huge fan of your work though...especially this one. I actually first heard of you through your LoL covers, Dominion which I still go back and listen to from time to time.

But this song in particular really brings me back...the nostalgia just swept over me. What a beautiful game...This is difficult to play on the harp btw...

Anyway, you're an excellent musician. Thanks for all the hard work. =]

[HollowRiku]

@Faeness No I'm not.... 8DDD xDD Thank you so much for your awesome comment! So glad you liked those videos *-*!

SotC is indeed an amazing game ;_; I'd like to play more themes from its OST!

[Andres37Revert]

BEYOND AWESOME...it went to my tube account favourites

[HollowRiku]

@Andres37Revert Thanks!!

[alc8910]

a-maz-ing xD i hope some day 'll be able to play piano like that! how long have u been playing?

[HollowRiku]

@alc8910 Thank you!! I started playing when I was 7 and I'm now 20, so it's been a long time! =3

[tidus259]

ça m'a donné envie de tester le jeu juste pour cette musique ..... elle est tellement belle :)

[HollowRiku]

@tidus259 Merci!!

[Lecroxam]

[HollowRiku]

@Minecrawl Thank you Minecrawl! *-*

[Fellgrave]

I play the piano and as one guy to another I must say this, holy crap you're good. I almost find it disheartening to know that I probably will never be as good as you. But oh well, keep on playin man.

And if you don't mind song suggestions, how about a cover of Terra's Theme from FFVI.

[HollowRiku]

@Fellgrave Thank you mate! Don't say that, every pianist has its own style while playing , I'm sure you're great!

I don't know if I'll play Terra's theme soon, but I like that piece so I may play it in the future!

[VonKajakius]

Can you play the skyrim theme song? please <3

[HollowRiku]

@VonKajakius Dunno, I might do it!! I never know what I'll be playing next xD

[Tehuzzie]

keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a fan for a while now (like a yr or so) and i noticed i never subbed to you, srry bout that

[HollowRiku]

@Tehuzzie Thank you!! Don't worry!! xD

[FaMaSPAra31]

[Cccclassical]

I would love to hear you play Prelude in C minor from The Well Tempered Clavier by JS Bach.

[HollowRiku]

@Cccclassical Oh xD I like that piece! Honestly I don't think I'll upload it to youtube, but I'll let you know if I do!!

[dovebunnny]

Beautiful.

[HollowRiku]

@dovebunnny Thanks!

[Ubemyeverafter]

You should go on tour. Very exciting piano playing!!

[HollowRiku]

@Ubemyeverafter Thanks!!

[ElegantDespina]

What piano do you use? I absolutely love it! :D

[HollowRiku]

@ElegantDespina It's an upright Hosseschrueders piano! Its sound is a bit too "metallic", "but that makes it special, I guess! xD

[OearthpilgrimO]

Awesome!

[HollowRiku]

@OearthpilgrimO Thanks!!

[vampyrowithaknife]

@xXXxAznGirl12xXXx xD Thankss! *w*

[deathlightning55]

I really would like a remake of "Reunion" by Steven Cravis! I loved this. By the way, trying not to advertise, but I disliked how I always failed at Tempus Fugit, so I finally uploaded a version where my mistakes were covered well XD. I hope you like this because I really kept it to your original score, even the "ticking" at the end! It wasn't as tick-y as I liked, but I hope it's still good! I can't wait for new music from you!

[HollowRiku]

@deathlightning55 Thanks!! I think I'll replay Through the Kaleidoscope by Steven Cravis sooner, since the quallity in that one is much worse xD I'll listen to your new tempus fugit cover right now! :D

[fyredancer911]

im back! i think ive missed any new comps/covers but ima go look and listen. youve been warned. hah, i know, you missed me and my vocal awe.(:

[HollowRiku]

@fyredancer911 xD Thanks!! Yea, I missed your awesome comments *w*

[ryzouregnum]

[Atin1337]

[HollowRiku]

@Atin1337 Omg xD thank you so much Marco!!

[15Tidus]

Podrias hacer una cover de cuando se encuentra un coloso? creo que se llama encounter. xDD

PD: Epico el tema

[HollowRiku]

@15Tidus ¡Gracias! A violent encounter es una de ellas, mola bastante xD Tengo un arreglo de alguien de ese tema, a lo mejor lo toco =3!

[WuschelZz]

i come form school and watch this

and i watch outside and snow falls *____*

so epic

[HollowRiku]

@WuschelZz xDD Thanks!

[AsleepBlackbird]

Es un juego que nunca he jugado pero he escuchado la banda sonora múltiple veces, y, como otras veces, tu interpretación me parece realmente perfecta. Sigue tocando, al menos yo te escucharé y sonreiré al ver que tienes un nuevo vídeo.

Eres un genio xD

[HollowRiku]

@AsleepBlackbird ¡Muchas gracias Melina! *__* ¡Deberías jugarlo!

[AsleepBlackbird]

@HollowRiku Te pediré que no me llames Melina :'3 Con Mel está bien xD (nunca me ha gustado mi nombre completo, demasiado formal ^^u)

El día que tenga una play lo jugaré, o cuando consiga hacer funcionar el emulador de play u_u

[HollowRiku]

@AsleepBlackbird Ok, te llamaré Mel! =3 (pero melina es un nombre muy chulo! xD)

@889michael1 Thanks!

[tehdarkswordsman]

Hey, great job as usual, I really liked the quick pace of this, must have been difficult to learn. I was wondering if I could make a request. Once you get some free time after the semester is done and school calms down, would you think about doing Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy 6?

[HollowRiku]

@tehdarkswordsman Thank you so much!!

I love that song! I uploaded a 4 hands version here on youtube under the name of Tina, but the quallity is awful and the arrangement is not that pretty xD I don't know if I'll eventually play it, but I'll probably will in the future!

[kaputasri]

You must poses an excellent memory to be able to play a piece from 3 years ago.Nice playing and impressive technique.How did you acquire such a great technique.Any tips?Looking forward for more.

P.s-I know that uni can be a bitch when it comes hobbies.But don't worry when you get married it's only going to get much worse.LOl

[HollowRiku]

@kaputasri Thanks!! I can replay a song that I practiced long time ago if I really liked the song xD So it's easy to remember a piece I played from a videogame or a film, but I tend to forget the classical themes very easily xD

Dunno, I just practiced a bit everday! Keep playing all kind of pieces and you'll keep improving! Any piano piece will show you something new =3
