Kingdom Hearts - Utada Hikaru - Hikari (piano cover)

[ChaosEternalRE]

Woah, I knew I remembered your name from somewhere. I watched this first a few years and a few times after, but never remembered you specifically. Earlier I came across some of your videos, ended up going to your website, noticed there were some KH fan transcriptions there, then wondered if you were the guy with the great Hikari piano video. And you were. Though it has been three years, I am glad to see you have been making more incredible videos! :D

[JapaneseDog1]

Kyle Landry replies to my comment! Fan boy #1 :D

[DerpyApple]

[harvestmoonchik890]

[shadowjsw]

if SOPA/PIPA/ACTA passes, this will probably be taken down for copyright infringement :(

[iSeraphor]

@shadowjsw Generally covers are a grey area in regards to copyright infringement. But seeing as it is his own arrangement, there should be no issues.

[coolemogal1109]

It made me wanna cry it was so good

I love the song ( From Kingdom Hearts) The song is awesome and really sad to me

[coolemogal1109]

Turns out I did cry lol

[fogosz]

MOTHER OF GOD! This is one of the BEST Covers that I ever saw! <3

[AsianDomonation16]

[TheTacoHuntard]

[SoundofLambda]

I cant find the sheet music in the site.

[bellcross7378]

[RavenHeart91]

I dislike this video because its not the original, but your an fantastic Pianist. I tip my hat to you.

[rasenshuriken321]

@RavenHeart91 -_- of course its not the original its a cover

[SatanisaBeaverShark]

You should rerecord this.

[aucoinbm]

I think you should do these kingdom hearts songs again :D

[Itsinfernox9000]

I just wish I could hear it better

[Guitromix]

YES. I learned the whole thing :) This piece is amazing! :D

[AikariMusic]

This brings back so many memories. I remember that is through this song that I know that there's a japanese version of simple and clean, and knowing Hikari has change my life.

Thank you ^^

[SSJ2Ryoku]

-_- this one is SO complicated x.x ugh i learned it halfway

[SiXulXV15]

this video shouldnt even have a dislike button good job Kyle :) :)

[D1vid3By0]

@SiXulXV15

I didn't see one. In my eyes there is only the "like" button and a "press this button to go directly to the deepest, most miserable abyss in hell" button.

[zellfalcon31]

nice pjs

[MitsukaiXXI]

You made me cry. All those memories came flooding back of a simpler times. Piano somehow brings out the passion in all of us. Great job, Kyle.

[ashizzlenizzle95]

man i love how you get so emotional and hyped up at certain parts i can really feel your emotion seeping out of your aura as you play!

[AkiAme15]

Beautiful.

[64Goddarde]

this is the most beautifullest piano piece i know. Brings back some major memories =)

[silverchuigifan09]

i meant beautiful wow i fail

[silverchuigifan09]

1 word beytiful

[Narnar7777777]

This video deserves more views, its one of Kyle's finest arrangements. Hopefully the view count goes up with the upcoming release of Dream Drop Distance :)

[xRklo]

It feels like nostalgia... except with a hint that everything has matured, and everything has changed.. So sad. :(

[50AttackProduct]

@xRklo I know right,,,I remember playing Kingdom Hearts NONSTOP when I was a kid...now I'm 17 and everything has changed. It makes me cry to think I will never be able to do this again...Life was so much simpler and easier in those days...

[itmovesusall]

@50AttackProduct I had this same feeling the other day. Back when I was young, DBZ and the original Pokemon were huge for me (*I'm 16 but my brother is 21 and we spent a ton of time watching older shows together*) and I got teary eyed thinking about how my childhood is basically over. I miss those days so much when I was young and could chill all day and watch TV and play video games :(

[elementblue780]

@itmovesusall I feel sad that a 16 year old thinks his childhood is over...

[itmovesusall]

@elementblue780 so do I. And while my life is nowhere near as difficult as it could be, I still miss having little/no responsibilities and not having a care

[GENESIS2789]

67 people werent looking at the button they pushed

[renz686]

Who would dislike such a wonderful song? This video doesn't even deserve a dislike bar!

[ILOVEJAPA]

if he toured with utada i would pay a years wages to see it

[BTHxProductions]

Did not find sheet music on your website...

[ItsOver90o0]

[ksick111]

I couldn't help smiling it was so beautiful. Keep up the masterful playing.

[ImAGrateSpellr]

nice jammies

[MrLinkyXD]

If the laws of nature would allow it, I would bear Kyle's children...

[supfooification]

I just wanted to let you know that, even thougb I only discovered you during this summer, you have inspired me to take up piano on my own and I'm loving every minute of it! You have so much talent and I really hope that some day, probably far off in the future, I can play like you becuase your music is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for doing what you do, never change!

[EternalDarkness316]

I believe you shouldn't play a piano cover, or do a cover of something famous unless you know what you are doing, hence why I don't try it, You got amazing talent, you took one of the world's' most famous songs and played it beautifully, most people's' covers are only ok. But, your timing was spot on, and it made me picture the opening credits to the game, thank you for putting one of my favorite themes on here. I'd like to see a lot more movie and game themes from you, keep up the Epic.

[amrov4]

thumbs up if you think the video is Silent in first ten Seconds

[mazin6892]

I got to say this, I love the pajamas your wearing, they are too gud

[alex85789]

[lyokohero]

WTF Kyle why you got to be so good haha I can't play this not even on marimba. I r need more practice

[bb2726366]

so well done. few pianists can be so technically precise, while still maintaining your ability to /feel/ the music. thanks for sharing your gift.

[HeavenlyHellHound44]

In his pj's like a boss(:

[Ame55]

Somewhere in the world, a pianist is weeping with envy...

[Koalafyable]

@phillicheesestake it doesnt affect the sound though. just listen and enjoy

[alphaandliarize]

Intense pianoing. Like, piano earthquake.

[phillicheesestake]

240p..we meet again!

[laddyboy12]

Uhhhhh WOW I can't think of any thing else to say just WOW

[Msaltares91]

You are amazing

[JapaneseDog1]

i listened to this song till 4 in the morning and it made me skip school... this song is too good :(

[JapaneseDog1]

This song really touches me... i will play it at my wedding or funeral :)

[KHTerra18]

Learned this song in two months and played it at a school concert. It was my first performance and it was really a big hit. now Working on You Raised Me Up compsed by Josh Groban and arranged by none other than our very own Kyle Landry. Your awesome.

[ryanw341]

God called, he wants his hands back.

[MrLinkyXD]

Press Ctrl +Alt+down arrow to get an awesome effect ;)

[Therayquazamasta]

@MrLinkyXD Dude, you are awsome. I've never laughed more in my life!

[MrLinkyXD]

@MrLinkyXD Lol, as I'm writing this my screen is upside down :)

[Merica247]

Those 65 dislikes are total Asses. :|

THIS IS GOOD MUSIC PEOPLE ARE YOUR EARS BROKEN OR YOU JUST HAPPEN TO MISS THE LIKE BUTTON?

[DunNotCome]

@Merica247 maybe they are trolls who dun noe what true music are or they saw the dislike button as a like button?

[JapaneseDog1]

@DunNotCome u mean the disilike button? xD

[emanuele96manga]

OMG very very very very very very very very very nice

[MeglaZero]

I didn't think this song could get any more epic and heart-string pulling than the slow version when she's singing, especially at the end of the game. But you just proved me wrong... there's something about piano music that is just so hauntingly beautiful.

[kimberlymm2win]

i was like omg your soooo epic! then i saw you start throwing the music sheets and i was just..... OMG YOUR SO LIKE ALL THE GRATE PLAYERS!!!!

[Dahkidrick]

you need long fingers to play

[PolarBearsFtw]

Yup. 光

[parodictune]

you're an amazing pianist :), thanks for uploading..

[s3imaDen]

OMG....wwwoooowww... when will i be able to play like you? this is just awesome!!!!!! nice, really nice~

[ChemicalsToToxic]

o.m.g the first video i watched of yours was to zanarakand. Lets just say you are one of the best i have ever seen x.x I wish I could play the piano like you. ^^

[GreenRanger192]

Only a song this beautiful can make every comment a freakin' paragraph.

Nice pants.

[TheRedBlueBlur55]

to me, this is the most beautiful piece of music, played on piano, around. I love it and it is perfect for the kingdom hearts story. I hope many agree with me :')

[fuzzypieman]

I was hoping to see if i can play this and i got my answer...lol

[GenjiSama91]

@fuzzypieman His version has a lot of stuff added in. I'm pretty average at piano, but i can struggle through it, just look up the original music

[PotterPuppetPals4]

I'm not particularly a fan of slower music but I love the piano. I heard this and suddenly I got lost in it. By the end I was crying and I have never been brought to tears by music before. You inspired me now to learn the Piano and since I'm in 7th grade and have never played, I have the time to learn but I will never be this good! I really hope to be close to learning this by the end of 8th grade but thank you so much for your talent. I am one of your true fangirls here :3 I love this video <3

[Chica5145]

Wow. Amazing.

[Drassielle]

I love how, even though you go crazy with this song, you still manage to stay true to its melody and heartbreaking honesty. Don't know how a song can be honest, it just... is.

[sora15ing]

Thank you.

[foreverinfame]

i wanna be as good as this guy ive been playing for 4 years, i started late but thanks to his inspiration ive gotten really good! kyle please check out my vid of simple and clean and anyone else who is interested please check it out!

[BluBerryMuffin98]

you have inspired me to learn to play piano.

im in the 8th grade so I have plenty of things and time to learn.

Thank you for beautiful works.

[juliusbima97]

All of your Kingdom Hearts song inspires me.

[ZepGames]

....DAMN NIGGA!!

[stillflymodels]

Your music is one of the only things in my life that inspires me to keep moving forward. It is my lifelong dream to be able to play as you do, & you make it all seem possible.

Thanks Kyle.

[alirdowe11]

Love.

[JuTem1018]

I'm impressed! You're so cool. One question, are you a girl? :))

[Azriel48]

@JuTem1018

His name is Kyle. Not to mention if you watch Passion, he flashes a peace sign at the camera. Honestly, if that's not a guy...I don't know what is.

[therikachong]

Y U SO AWESOME?! Love you to bits Kyle!!

[vietboy4545]

Lol I see u rocking in them pajammies!. xD

[lillykathleen89]

BEAUTIFUL!!! :D

[humptydancing]

is he in his p.j.'s O_o?

[MrLinkyXD]

Orgasmic...

[ianh97]

@MrLinkyXD Ah man that's sick! how is this sexual?!?! Don't tell me you like Kyle!

...

*Trollface*

[itstnaa]

So beautiful <3

[Namine2404]

for all of those people saying that they should appreciate the composer more than the person actually playing, then that is a false statement because it takes years to master the piano. and then to be actually able to produce a scale going downwards while your right hand is playing is easier said than done. i appreciate both pianist as equally. plus kyle landry has been donating many diffrent types of music sheets around the internet for awhile now so thanks for your contributions kyle!

[joshaman23456]

this music makes me want to cry its beatiful.thank you for inspiring me i will now learn piano

[tripelon]

Im jelous.GOD YOU PLAY AWESOMEEEE

[LikeATurnip]

Not even joking, I made this my new project. If I post again in a few weeks and or months and or years, I have become succesful :]

[leftymu]

um, where was the hikari bit

[Exhilaratezz]

65 people dont have hands

[SuperBunnyKnight]

how come i can't play the piano that good? XD truthfully, you are the best pianist i have heard in my ENTIRE ilfe and i hope that you get better and better :)

[jarjar355]

Dude you just made me cry...bravo *applauds*

[angholliday]

[Agangster117]

@angholliday there is one its by MisterMoes he made it from synthesia

[angholliday]

PIANO GOD!!

[AdventuresonKooyDr]

[Cutiepiespnz04]

@AdventuresonKooyDr

you better be into polygamy because I had the same idea XD

[iluvsmuffins]

I'd marry you for this cover.

[KillaTequilla83]

So Kyle, I'd been a fan since your Mr 556 days and I remember watching this when it first came out. Then life reached its apex and went hectic and I ignored youtube and for a couple years forgot about you and your music. Now...with some minutes to spare, I'm looking through all your vids and even if you never see this, I just want to say that your playing has and still inspires, invigorates, soothes, and makes me remember those years that I had cherished the most. So thank you.

[kylelandry]

@KillaTequilla83 :) :)

[cacjad]

if u were a girl...i'd ask u to marry me.

[okimura690]

@cacjad or you could just do what i do and go gay for him. lol jkjk

[KeyOfDestinyX3]

@okimura690 That sounds so messed up. :D  jk

[ricefarmer123]

hm his website link isn't working..?

[ninou2312]

Kyle i wanna marry you!

[ixl911ixl]

I'm in love. 

[dustinlanter]

oh my god, i'm totally subbing, you are my fucking idol dude

[ShadowWolf5079]

@lipwen94 your friends need shooting if they want to listen to justin beiber over this. bratty spoilt rotten kid music. or beautifully composed music. i know what i'd pick.

[kswag0919]

you suck......

IM JUST KIDDINGGGG, YOU ARE BEASSTTT KYLE!!!!!! ^^

[Lastac]

play it on an actual piano and get some better recording equipment and this will be orgasmic

[lipwen94]

It pisses me off when I told my friends about Kyle's amazing piano skills, all they did is ignore me and asked me to shut up about Kyle. They rather go listen to some idiotic music like Justin Bieber. Retards...

[Moonstoneofterror]

@lipwen94 i hate when people act like that

[00nick0000]

sheets

[xiraho1]

You should really set up something that would allow you to teach piano to people on the internet. Some of these songs are a little hard for me to play. Just saying!

[Coreylee2012]

YOU ARE GOD!!! ALL HAIL GOD!!!

[danthemizan]

65 people don't have ears

[ThemPianoRhythms]

Why the hell doesn't Square Enix make use of this man?

[KeyOfDestinyX3]

@ThemPianoRhythms They probably couldn't pay him enough.

[lipwen94]

@ThemPianoRhythms Because not only Square Enix wants him. He can play Disney songs too. I bet Disney wants him too @@

[plucky2001]

@ThemPianoRhythms  um... it's a woman. O.e

[ThemPianoRhythms]

@plucky2001

...

This is Kyle...

Kyle is a man...

Look at other videos of Kyle...

He's a he, not a she.

[HeartBreak2291]

@plucky2001

wtf? Kyle's a dude. He's wearing pajamas in this video, not a dress....

[Wowurgaylol]

@ThemPianoRhythms because i'm better than kyle landry so they use me
