Koji Kondo Concert

[juanpuppinmonteiro]

To me koji kondo has the same talent of the Mozart and Beethoven.

[ApertureScience01]

@juanpuppinmonteiro to me i think he has more talent then them

[Alessandro32m]

kondo  is the god of the music

[ZhangtheGreat]

12 dislikes? 12?!?!? Who the fuck can dislike Koji Kondo?!?!?!

[ApertureScience01]

@ZhangtheGreat i dont know *snif* i dont know :(

[xMerkzAd]

You know what they say! All toasters toast a toast.

[BugKilledTangerine]

@xMerkzAd But how do you toast toast if toast is already toasted? :p

[megadeth1056]

Take that john williams.

[amozoness6]

Ways to ensure you're never forgotten to time: 1) Write the music to mario, 2) write the music to Ocarina of Time, 3) write the music for Wind Waker, 4) write the music for Super Mario Galaxy.. Kojo Kondo level: DO ALL OF THESE AND MORE !!

[TurkishWarrior80]

@amozoness6 Dont forget a link to the past.A link to the past music was far superrior than any other zelda game.

The man is genious.He all made this while listening and experimenting on sole piano.

[ApertureScience01]

@TurkishWarrior80 yeah, but occarina of time on the n64 was epic.

[TheMarioDimension]

Dear Koji Kondo :

You are the best video game music composer ever! I love your zelda and mario music, its just super ultra mega EPIC!

[MrMysticHD]

I love his composing!

[lionmaster333]

I would cut my left nut off to go see this shit

[SyaoranCloneSakura]

WHAT WOULD WE EVER DO WITHOUT KOJI KONDO! just the thought makes me want to cry.

[Laykoz70]

i personally believe that this guy is the the best musician ever in history, a truely genius

[crazeeppl3]

Tan simple como koji kondo logro que los videojuegos y la musica se juntaran claramente se ve en sus obras ;D como amo a ese we musica tan bella

[BettyLander]

my hero...

[dadisfad]

They did an Oblivion compilation and I now can't get them out of my mind

They just are win.

[Baggick94]

asdmhganmfsgdhjfgshdjfgh *-*

love it !

[InkStudiosVideo]

this video sux don't you have a vid of koji playing the ENTIRE song not just 30 seconds of it?

[MonarchyTheLegend]

does anybody know the name of the song at the end of the video?

[Kenology]

Asuka Ota nor Hajime Wakai composed New Super Mario Bros. main theme. This song was composed by KOJI KONDO. He's said it in an interview AND so did Kenta Nagata.

Please give Kondo the credit he deserves!

[Froebs]

FUCK YES

[drakeTM1]

Other than writ the actually music what exactly does the composer DO besides wave a magic wand around LOL

[timmyduboy]

@drakeTM1

that's a conductor not a composer. jesus

[drakeTM1]

@timmyduboy LUL my bad, but still wat do conducters do, dont the band already know their cues

[timmyduboy]

@drakeTM1

why do sports team need coaches if all the players know the game?

[commentmutant]

@timmyduboy Direction, order, discipline, the list can go on..

[kikinfonseca948]

@timmyduboy Koji Kondo Composed the songs of Mario and zelda, read the credits before say Crap

[timmyduboy]

@kikinfonseca948

are youtube commenters really this dumb?

I was responding to drake, who asked "but still wat do conducters do, dont the band already know their cues", I just answered his question with a question.

I was defending Koji from the beginning he is one of my heroes -- I'm tired of getting emails of naive responses.

[IsaacTheGuitarist]

@drakeTM1 The conductor is the one with the baton...

[BongMonsters]

nobuo uematsu is far better.

[dongsun24ify]

Koji didnt compose the new super mario bros theme? Lame

[MuckYu]

jizz in my pants

[XChampaignDreamX]

I would have given any one of my limbs to attend this.

[mariomarroquinvega]

how can anyone not like this????

[Aidsus]

I would take a bullet for Koji. Dead serious.

[rzhierro]

win

[mecastix]

koji kondo es un genio de genios de la musica.

[Getier2k]

this music ... i'll never forget him!

[moshinho]

fuckin legend

[KingPatchie]

@moshinho what the f**k you dont like zelda? D:

[xxxMasterPro]

@KingPatchie

[HardstyleZiO]

[BabySatch1]

11 play station fans put thumbs down. WHERE'S YOUR ZELDA PLAY STATION? HA

[solovinolullaby]

ZELDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[solovinolullaby]

KOJI KONDO!!!!!!!!!

[cadaverr]

GENIUS.

[nintendocs]

I never knew what he looked like, I always pictured him different..

[Ice0ace]

Koji kondo himself is a masterpiece!

[Dragonsummon1]

Mario has no life chasing a mushroom princess and Link has no life chasing a huh.. spiritual princess?

Nintendo was so creative with princess

[menolyrics]

hahahahaha

[Lrrrrrrrr]

The Zelda theme is plain genius

[JoseGabrielDiazPerez]

this is really amazing and well put :)

[shinefra]

the zelda theme is epic

[jprovost13]

What an awesome job he has. Writing music to video games!

[JoseGabrielDiazPerez]

@jprovost13 and hes ally good at wat he does ;)

[misterkupo]

If Mario were real... he would totally have fixed the plumbing down in the gulf by now. He is a super plumber after all.

[sillymonkey829]

@misterkupo nah, man, mario's not really a plumber saving a princess from an evil giant turtle, hes just constantly trippin on shooms. i mean, he eats on like every 20 minutes.

[Quadraxis]

The ten people who disliked on this vid has to be deaf

[TwilightPrincess841]

why did they make the mario theme last more than the zelda them that s just mean

[ExELCiS777]

@TwilightPrincess841 no man, thats the correct thing to do!!

[TwilightPrincess841]

@ExELCiS777 What? I just say that the Zelda theme is better/epicer than Matrio. Just an opinion. Im girl LOL

[oscarllmoraes2]

i got goosebumped @___@

[jonhlennon312]

The Legend of Zelda theme is simply the videogamer anthem, no matter which console, which games do you play, you know that song, and only means epic.

[marioluigiman8]

MARIO PWNS,

[Kittyems70]

I love how Koji Kondo bobs his head to the music! :D

[pendejadafcc]

Yes, he will rule the world some day.

[VERYBECR89]

jajaja this is the MAN!

[evildelul]

he's my hero

[BurrittoandJuliet]

Yay! legend of Zelda series pwns all xD

[W0rldatpeace]

... this video gave me chills throughout the whole thing... so fucking beatiful<3

[stevefp3]

Which orchestra is this? Could anyone tell me pls? And where was the concert? Thank you.

[kikinfonseca948]

Zelda's Forever!

MARIO, FUCK MATHER!

[efxman]

All I can do is smile from ear to ear. I'm so stoked right now:)

[randomdude222]

Koji and Nobuo are my fave game composers.

[karataos]

koji kondo is quagmire!

giggity! xD

[TheMapleRice]

Koji Kondo head is funny when hes,

playing the piano... xD

good concert! FTW>!

[Doommaster1994]

George Sanger and Koji Kondo are equal. None is better than the other. They are both the best game music composers.

[EmpoleonMasterSword9]

Koji Kondo will rule the world someday....

[ChaosPhoenix7]

@EmpoleonMasterSword9 Someday? It's already happened...

[Drakelx555]

@EmpoleonMasterSword9 He already does

[BananoPower2]

no matter what people say about these next gen consoles and all the massive games, Zelda and Mario will still rule the world

[EatMyPwn]

Mario's a great fun game that saved the console portion of the industry (although considering the mediocrity of the Wii, the shooter-tastic 360, and the monster of a PS3 this generation that might not have been such a good thing... PC ftw... but the N64 generation was awesome and the PS2/Gamecube generation was alright) but Zelda is a genuinely artistically merited game. I'd certainly say Ocarina of Time is the only perfect video game I've ever played and really established VGs as an art form.

[BananoPower2]

Totally! I mean, there are tons and tons of videogames gamers usually play over and over again but at a certain point of their lives the don't wanna play it anymore. Mario and zelda are the type of games that don't let that happen. Right now, my skin is craving some ocarina of time!

[JulzF1128]

@EatMyPwn ocarina of time is the best game ive ever played too haha

[younglink53]

true that, super mario galaxy 2 and Zelda wii 2 ftw

[BananoPower2]

well.. i ment the classic ones. not the new ones. but still, they are amazing too :D

[KartKing4ever]

the beethoven of video games woooo i wish he was in america

[abhivishwa]

best

[isnmx2]

yo me ponía a jugar mario bros antes de irme a la primaria a las 8 de la mañana xD

[jonhlennon312]

Here comes the English version.

There's no doubt, Koji Kondo has became the legendary composer from Nintendo, Today will not be any Mario & Zelda game that won't have it's most classic themes.

[jonhlennon312]

No cabe duda, Koji Kondo se volvió el compositor legendario de Nintendo, hoy en día no habrá juego de Mario y Zelda que no incluyan sus temas más clásicos.

Non c'entra dubbio, Koji Kondo è diventato il compositore lengendario di Nintendo, oggi in giorno non ci avrà nessun gioco di Mario e Zelda che non abbiano i suoi brani più classici.

[WiifanWolf]

*snif* I freaggin love the music of starfox, zelda and mario.

O.O I LOVE KOJI KONDO!!!!

[Suman44]

Listening to this brought tears to my eyes, reminding me of my childhood, all those times I used to make Mario run so fast so that he could reach the flagpole the highest to score 5000 points. At my age, I feel so OLD!

But wait......theres still hope, I think I know where I stuffed my old NES.......

[soniczdawun]

I know this sounds like a stupid dream, but I am hoping to be what Koji Kondo is one day. There are only two material perfections in my life: music and video games. My ideal career is the top composer for a huge video game company. I guess this still just sounds like a hopeless dream.

[youarepwned]

nah it's good.

Go check youtube for bloody tears piano. He is excellent.

[dionstrezlecki]

good luck dude, hope to see you at the top some day

[paraparamore23]

I feel bad for quitting violin now.

[masterens]

Historydude, dont u forget about Motoo Fujiwara?

[Zeldatime1496]

ZELDA RULEZ!!!!!!!!!

[HistoryMaker91]

Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu are my heroes

[joaqui1902]

The music of zelda for snes is masterpiece, only a MASTERPIECE

[LinksRevelation]

This man is a friggin' genius- this composition of this song- amazing! I wish I was there sooooooo badly! I would do nearly anything to see him live!

[odacepkezen]

He doesnt do concerts that was like a one time thing

[LinksRevelation]

Yes, I know. Which is why I can only dream about something like that.

[PerfectDropS]

dreamhack [F][T][W]

[chinessgirl]

Nobuo Uematsu is better =)

[Quietschquatsch]

I just can´t hear the Mario-theme anymore! It´s been nerly 20 years now...

[fireemblem1231]

whoa! that was incredible! Koji Kondo is one of my favorite composers. his video game music rox my sox!!!

[SomaEvil]

don't forget michiru yamane =D the composer of castlevania games

[TheSoulyaboy]

It was unnecessary to you. -.-

[Hamhark98]

LOL! Koji Kondo butchered the New super mario brothers theme. I know he did not compose it but damn.

Amazing composer and proboly a really good player as well but I found it to be pretty sloppy. (Don't kill me).

[ichiJC]

he did compose it faggot

[Hamhark98]

He did compose most of the Mario tracks but for new super mario bros he did not compose the theme. He is a fantastic artist though and I do not mean to mock him in any way. He is my favorite composer of all time. However, he did not compose this song though so I wonder why he is playing it. Asuka Ota and Hajime Wakai composed it. Seriously look it up.

People always think that this guy did ALL the Mario songs and ALL the Zelda songs but after OOT and Super mario 64 others have helped as well.

[Hamhark98]

Hey, It sounds sloppy. That is all I am saying. Nothign against the guy and in fact I love him but he did not play this too well. Better than I can but not as well as it is in the game.

"Butcherd" was a bit of a strong word. Slightly sloppy but still excellent is more like it.

[yoka955]

mmmm? That doesn't look like the Koji kondo that i have seen. (and yes i am talking about the guy at the end playing the piano)

[Narutogaarafan01]

I lov it!!!^^ Koji Kondo is awesome!!^^

[internetsftw]

the rhythm section is behind a little bit in some parts

[Solangel007]

I love Koji Kondo and Yuki Kajiura, both are great!!! But Koji Kondo is great!!!! nice video!!! :d

[cjccanocastillo]

beutiful!!!!! nice, very nece and pretty!!

[rapidgamer]

Koji Kondo is THE Mozart of VGM.

[OropherThranduil]

@rapidgamer

and john williams is the mozart of movie scores.

and howard shore is the bach.

and jerry goldsmith is the beethoven.

[713JZA]

@rapidgamer I bet Kondo could beat Mozart up,

[JacobLego]

0:45 One of my favourites Super mario 64

[JacobLego]

Edit: Forgot to metion that my at the end NSMB is one of my favourite games

[Rkmajora]

Nobuo Uematsu has a bigger fanbase, but Koji Kondo's melodies and harmonies, and his soul, come from somebody more talented, you can just tell.

[aCurrier]

Although traditionally a Nintendo fan, I've come to the conclusion that Kondo and Uematsu are both musical geniuses and it's hard to say that one is better than the other

[zakB121]

I don't even see why somebody would even argue about this...

Their both excellent composers and their music is equally great

[Hamhark98]

Uematsu may tecnically have a bigger fanbase but more people love Koji Kondo's music. Most casuals have no idea who Koji Kondo is but still love the zelda theme and EVERYONE knows the SMB theme song.

[MyrraAurora]

Every musician is like serious along the concert ...C'mon, a little more happier! It's the two MOST GREATEST VIDEO GAMES IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!!

[wobbel]

You're tottaly right !

[Millahtime]

Koji Kondo has composed arguably some of the most recognizable pieces in the world. There are plenty of people who probably wouldn't recognize some of Beethovens most famous work, but I guarantee almost everyone would recognize the Mario or Zelda theme.

[brsbckr]

koji kondo is a genius

[FieryFiendJazz]

I could play better than that! (I mean the games in the background)

[xdlugia1]

The most important Nintendo peoples is Shigeru Miyamoto, Charles Martinet and of course Koji Kondo

[toasttoastingtoaster]

@xdlugia1

Dont forget Gunpei Yokoi (R.I.P) Game Boy for life :P

[xdlugia1]

Yes, of course.

Nintendo should name the Nintendo DS as Game Boy DS.

[ayuprnkcller]

if you think about it, koji kondo was severely limited on his first compositions, givin a few sounds and tunes, he created masterpieces

that is talent

[ericmsandoval]

This man is my inspiration to learn one video game music on the piano

[karataos]

i love this grandpa

[jabunks]

Koji Kondo > John Williams

[childoftheRosary]

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

music to my ears.

[reallyblue]

OMG this is fantastic!!! we love u Koji Kondo (Y)

[luizlink64]

i dont know a game song composer that have more catchy songs than KK.

[gameboy3124]

yeah. i agree with luizlink64

[revolutoin99]

Awesome! 6 Stars!

[emogirlpunker]

koji kondo is the best and nintendo too , miyamoto too

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

This is one of the most famous melodies ever, Super Mario tune is complex, hard to play, people who want to play and count that in the same time must be amazing musicians!

[Supersonic1128]

its not that hard to play i can play it on my piano

[tmlink76240]

yeah Lole. It's not as hard as you make it sound, but...it's twice as awesome.

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

I think that this is hard to play on guitar, when you play every note as accord.

[Franklin0611]

they should make it japan's national anthem

[techno769]

I SO AGREE!!!

[clanghead]

well maybe but recently my friend played SM theme at his italian wedding I'd say that was also very fitting...

[Franklin0611]

haha that is so cool, how did everyone react to it?

[littleninja14532]

@Franklin0611 they already did.... haha

[Raphy013]

lmao omg this was also posted on my 14th bday :)

[kogs6o4]

nobody cares

the world does not revolve around you

[Raphy013]

props to koji mannn great stuff!

[jules8breakfast]

Koji Kondo is an amazing atrist! It's incredible how recognizable these songs are! Anybody, anywhere will know it!

[darkultra]

Where can i get this performace in DTS Master HD Audio 7.1 with no dynamic range compression? :) :) :) :)

[cdwheel]

Thanks a million Kōji Kondō

[Kreepman]

My god. That Zelda theme was so epic o.o

[adspadoublea]

Orchestras make everything epic.

We need orchestras in Zelda Wii!!!

[DocteurCube]

The New Super Mario Bros. theme performed by Koji Kondo is gorgeous ! I'd like to have it in a longer version... 40 sec is not enough !!

I hope New Super Mario Bros. Wii will have such a great theme.

[dragonsber]

Thank you Koji Kondo!

[Kaizer88Kanzler]

Zelda music theme is so epic !!!

[xander0713]

Amen iakny!! Amen!

Really amazing how epic those games are, and how anywhere in the world people will know the themes

[iakny]

Mario's theme is the greatest theme I have ever heard.

[iakny]

simply because Super Mario Bros is the greatest game ever created in the history of mankind. No game will ever have such legacy.

[MethaBenzy]

The truth, no doubt. Developers are hard-pressed to match the golden simplicity of Mario. Don't care how fancy they get, hm?
