Final Fantasy VIII Piano Collections - Eyes On Me [Revision]

[RedAkai]

Much better this time! lovely! The revision (this one) is very nice. congrats.

[iczion1221]

You bring tears to my eyes..wonderful music!

[gunblade64]

5/5 of course.

It is a very beautiful song and you played it fantastic!

Final Fantasy VIII is btw the best Final Fantasy ever made... in my opinion.

[TheZistofel]

I always found something so touching about this theme. Final fantasy VIII is definitely the best final fantasy. I just listened to your version of Fisherman's Horizon, I think you're playing it it a little too fast...but your interpretation of this track is pretty much faultless. Well done!!

[onelife271]

this is really good.you play that song not to fast not to slow .one of the best version on you tube with Lypure,Kyle,Arkton and Mikan44.(you can see my playing of that song on my channel .feel free to take a look)

[pixelated111]

this vid is the only way i like it played. maybe its because of the sound of the piano. my paino has a really crap quality sound to it.

[xxXjordeldropdeadXxx]

awesome!

5/5

[furjulia]

Great playing mate! Just posted mine, please do check it out :)

[Mor3311]

wow great!

[smithynakka]

so good it sent a shiver up my spine

[T0MRE]

Beautiful : )

[pookiroo]

Bravo!!

[rutehshoom]

very nicely done. 5/5

[Filiuk]

Well done.

[SXLuna3]

PERFECT!!!

[AngelAoi]

aww yes so glad u revised it so much better! well done ^___^

[bendelubyo0903]

what thaaaaaa....

PERFECT!!!

5 STAR

[PresidentBagel]

I started learning this one today. I'm really rusty, so it's going to take me a looooong time to learn it, but I will eventually. Thanks for the inspiration, I'll be coming back to this video quite a bit.

[boomboomshuck1]

thank you for this video, really. It brought tears to my eyes.

5 stars

[khandfffanatic01]

this version is much better than my rendition, bravo!

[Lolihime66]

This song is played so beautifully, great, great job. =]

[Shinamura]

a little fast, but nonetheless good!

[kathydanh]

dude you are amazing! everyone has their eyes on you! ^_^

[LIL2511]

Of course it is!

And I've seen you play piano man..If I can fake my way through it, I'm sure you can lol

[K2armadda]

And I'm 18 with no proper experience of piano... Is it too late for me?

[kathydanh]

nah! you're still not too late to play piano. if you practice and you keep trying ibet you'll be a pro no time. :)

[lilshortypie72]

It's never too late to indulge in music. Never, and if you feel like trying to learn how to play the piano, I entreat you to have a go. Just be patient, because you need to get through the grueling stuff if you want to go anywhere.

I wish you the best ^^ The world can't have enough musicians :)

[jeffnsee]

The more you love playing, the faster you'll learn, no matter what age :)

[Hellic08Pride]

No it's not. Playing piano is wholesome. And with constant practice, even a 32 yr old beginner can play this. So don't give up now okay? I was also enrolled on a piano lesson but since we don't have any more money, I studied on my own using my experiences, and fortunately I can also play this and Fisherman's Horizon as well (but only on keyboard but it's Piano Collections style)I'm only 14 yrs old so no wonder u can also do it much better than me! Okay? Good Luck!

[pixelated111]

yeah you're right. I suck at piano and with enough practice I could play the first half of this song.

[Hellic08Pride]

No u don't suck! U were great!

So don't give up just yet!

[LIL2511]

I have a mate who can play this on piano, not quite THIS good, but still pretty well. He adds his own touch to it, which I like.

Why is this called revision? It's essentialy the same as the Piano Version of the song

Great song to play on acoustic guitar aswell...with vocals of course.

[lilshortypie72]

It's called the revision because ManHoPark's posted this song before and he's revised his playing of it.

[LIL2511]

Ah okay. Sorry if I seemed rude before, but I hate it when someone posts something like "I re-composed this from scratch", only to find it an official piece of music.

Thanks for clearing that up ;)

[K2armadda]

Well I disagree, I think it's played with alot of feeling, It's excellent and I think that it's timing is alot better than the other version.

What a lucky guy to be able to play such music. Well done.

[dazzalindazza]

not sure if you will all agree with this but i dont think you feel this song. i have seen it played on utube with much more feeling and this 1 i like but it dont quite touch me like the others

[jellib12]

this is awesome !

[KenzerX]

Bravo!

[cjdrax]

ty sooo much 4 reposting this with the perfect speed!perfect!!! LUV IT!!! :X:X:X U RULE!!!

[chdk082289]

You are very good at what you do. All your songs sound exellent. Keep up the good work I am a huge Final Fantasy fan. But I have to ask one question, in alot of you videos I don,t see any sheet music, HOW.

[corderiusz]

This guy is japanese, all japanese are crazy talented ;)

[rakgi]

hes korean

[chdk082289]

I am japanese And I have the piano talent comparable to that of a can of spam

[Jakks731]

HAhahahahaha!!! That's hilarious.

[KoreanAnimeBoy]

um dude hes korean japanese dont have park in their name

[leghaia]

I'm american, not that it matters, but I memorize all the songs I play by listening to them. I also have somewhat of a photographic memory which helps me. I never use sheet music really because I don't know how to read it, but also because I don't really want to. I can do without sheet music what people do with it and it helps develop my ear more.

[eclipsechow]

very good!!

[ryval2o9]

i like it a lot!

[abadon79]

good work!!

[destinygirl8]

ah, i'll say it again, i love how wonderful you are at the piano, keep it up. I love how you play final fantasy songs, soo beautiful, puts me to sleep ( in a good way )

[destinygirl8]

ah, i'll say again, your awesome! Its sounds JUST LIKE Nobou!

[aznchic0991]

omg! that is sooo awesome!

*sniff sniff* I wanna play that song on the piano one day...

awesome job there! luv how u play!

[hyperjinxz]

exellent job! makes me wanna sing this song along with your playing :D it's sad that they don't make games like this one nomore :( i so so so so much wish that ff13 will be similar to 8.... if not, i'm gonna start a war!!! until then though i'll just listen to these lovely sounds...

[joe1sretard]

nice one man, keep u, ignore the retards who post stupid comments :P

[hidee]

lovely

[jireh214]

damn i'm fallin' asleep

[govz11legacy]

out of all the final fantasy piano tunes, this one is the best. ive learnt a 1/4 of this tune. keep the good work up Man Ho Park

[GenesisSimpleMe]

i want to learn how to play piano.. the sound its so relaxing!

[chars777]

WOW! this is awesome. I wish I could play as good as you.

[ihatetrees]

this was a lot better than the first time you played the song. you should be very proud & it was definitely worth it. =)

[airny51]

Very nicely done; I like your revision a lot. You set a good tempo and I really like your phrasings. Keep up the great work.

[sirmcfly09]

aaw fsdfdsf

[red1029hawk]

you and your brother should write a musical piece sometime. I bet it be amazing (and even if ya messed up no one would ever know lol)

[ndbass09]

The way I go about it is just hearing notes and picking them off one at a time, and slowly building on by listening. It is slightly frustrating thinking of how much time could be consumed, but you encourage me to go on! So thank you.

[ManHoPark]

ah, well its nice to see that you are motivated by my pieces... Yeah I usually have trouble because of the lack of practice these days. Anyhow, might I suggest you to my brothers account, cheonhopark. He plays ami too from the ff8 piano collections

[ndbass09]

I downloaded that exact version on iTunes to listen to, it's very encouraging to hear someone play it, knowing they struggled with it as well!

I am trying to learn how to play Ami, from the original soundtrack. But then I realize it's kind of short and repetitive from that, so I am going to find an all piano version and learn it.

[iwantcandy1145]

beautiful...absolutley BEAUTIFUL! i ffvii and i love this song so much! you did a great job!

[mooimmaduck]

your temp in this revision is WAY better than your old one. Im glad you decided to slow it down a bit. i felt that your old on was way too fast, but im glad you slowed it down for this one. Nice work =]

[delfinmichelle]

Very very well done! You're amazing! I think the song is so sad! I almost cried ...! huhu...

[TheRealRukiaChan]

I try practising this piece. I'm nowhere near doing it as good as you do and I understand its bloody tricky, and my piano has no soft touch to it so it sounds like KILL KILL >_>

but you play it amazingly

^-^

[kampajuwe]

GREAT its very clasical

[ManHoPark]

yes it does have a classical feel to it:]

[Jaz2005]

Lol and you want to quit?

Waste of talent. I started piano recently, and THIS is how I'd love to be able to play.

Just being bothered to learn ANOTHER instrument is zzz

But stay with it

[ManHoPark]

its not that I quit, I dont have time since I am majoring in computer animation and design.

It might be a waste of talent. But I cant really consider it talent when I get frustrated with it easily... seriously, I can spend 14 hours a day drawing, and maybe 3 or 4 hours on piano before getting bored.

[tinkerchel]

You are sooo lucky that you could play piano so well. I could play a little but suck big time, haha. And how lucky are you to be able to do art in school. .drawing and painting all day used to be my dream until i took computer science in uni. :P

[ManHoPark]

computer science? Ah, you must enjoy the mathematics. well with art I am comfortable doing it, but with piano id often get stage fright, even in front of a video camera.

[EloLita07]

If its one thing i always find hardest about piano, is balancing schoolwork in highschool and practicing..

=(

[pmurph1]

well done,ive been playing piano on and off for years,but i stopped and now i suck,just started again so im gonna stick at it now, id kill to play like you :)

[LlauradoE]

sorry for not watching the revision first

THIS-IS-PERFECT. Well done... an excelent job...

Where did you get the scripts?

[Arkshija]

omg...I can play only happy birthay song >.<

[whovick]

This revision was significantly better than your original version. Great job on toning it down a bit. I still feel like you are pounding a few keys. It's hard to explain without being in person, but you've got to "feel" the keys. Keep at it, perfect practice makes perfect. Do you take lessons?

[ManHoPark]

yep, my piano is not very touch sensitive, i took lessons from 3rd grade to 12th grade.

[leelee204]

Dont throw away this beautiful talent! there are so many people who would kill for your skill, and you have it.. yet you don't even want it! even though you dont wanna persue anything with this... It's still a useful talent.

[AcousticSpade]

well u have some skill, when all the pressures of life and stuff die down, jsut take a chill and reignite your passion for music

[bersley]

i like this better than your other version.... its kinda more emotional thats suits the song...

[luffy3]

hey, where did you put your cam at?

has been planning to get a handy cam fr last year :(

nicely played anyway!~ keep it up!

[DrinkScene]

fantastic!

[AruPi]

wow! such beautiful playing. i love this song

[Bakumon]

Wow! I must say... although I don't know much about

piano, you are a very skillful person to be able to

play that peice from memory!

[lilflengurl07]

cool

[Cascadeh]

Argh. IM SO JEALOUS. This is unfair..

I really think you're talented and you actually remember it! You're not looking in any sheets, right?

[ManHoPark]

lol i won't be too jealous.. i had these pieces memorized for awhile... but since i am busy with school i probably forgot the wholesomeness of the song.... i havent posted any lately.

[Cascadeh]

Even if you forget the notes, you do have the book.

If you forget how to play piano, that's another thing.

If you do forget ur talent, I will come there and kill you.

[ManHoPark]

Ah, I probably won't forget how to play. I will just will lose the ability to play well. So it will take some work again...

[Cascadeh]

I consider that as losing half of your talent..

If you really take it with that attitude now, later you'll regret. I know a lot of great pianist's who don't know how to play anymore.

If you think of it as a hobby, then work / studies should come first.

But if you think you'll do something useful with that skill, then you should treat them almost equally.

[ShizukaLy]

its much better than the other version^^ so amazing*_*

[Zilam]

Wow... Simply amazing. If you were to do a CD collection or something, i'd shell out the bucks for it :D

[jasemac88]

great job man i love this song too

[ORLYOwl]

This one was MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than your first version. BTW, stop beating yourself up so much. lol. I've never seen anyone post such long essays of self-critique on Youtube.

[ManHoPark]

lol... im pretty pesstimistic when it comes to things... :)

[1337evan]

please go into piano as your college major. It is what you were born to do. After hearing this, I was very emotional because its supposed to be romantic. I just suffered heartbreak and well its a long story but thanks. Ive heard this a while ago by you though but hearing it today made me think better.

[ManHoPark]

ahh sorry to hear about that... i could never major in music because I can never perform in front of audiences. I just would never get the satisfaction like I do on Youtube and the internet. I can get my videos across like that. Anyhow glad it helpd you out sir.

[Boom87]

Beatiful. Now that's what I call talent and enjoyable on any given day.

[lilysiu]

awwwww

[Yunero]

I like the cross over ^^

[tamno2]

i'm gonna cry right now. excuse me (sobbing)

[AngeloSignorelli]

I must say, you did a beautiful job. Eyes on me has always been one of my favorite Final Fantasy music pieces, and I have tried to play it myself... It truly is a hard piece. Very good, keep up the work.

[PBz0r]

this video has been favorited more times than it got a comment. 'nuff said.

[ryanxwonbin]

Toal awesomeness! ^^

[Cliffhailin]

lol its cool how all the good pianists on here are asian people... thats sick... keep it up...

[monsterpanda]

hey, this one surely showed your improvement over the last video, but I think the most intriguing part is your "thoughts", don't worry buddy, you're not the only one that felt such a feeling, and it's ok to feel devastated as long as we keep going on to reach the goal, and I think you reached the goal with this video, it reflected a lot of feelings and hardwork, so yeah that's a 5-star for ya.

[chilli001]

very nice

[SephirothRaiku]

Bravisimo! Well done!

[1337evan]

awesome... very great. I loved it. It made me think about the one girl I love but who doesnt have the feelings for me because we have been friends a long time. Thanks!

[ManHoPark]

lol... i tend to think of rinoas mother. she did sing it in the game.

[EtoileMelodie]

beautiful :)

[thebaker321]

This is WORLDS of improvement over the last Eyes on Me you posted (the one where I commented it was too fast). I'm so impressed I couldn't stop smiling the whole time, major kudos to you - I'm very pleased with your performance.

[Orochimaru007]

Very nice

[anhiizzle]

hey..tho i know you published this video a couple of months ago, juss` reading over your "thoughts" really suprise me. i kinda know how you feel.. how the passion to play the piano dies quickly.. well.. i juss` liked to say, if you can still find passion in the art of piano, `nd every key-notes you play brings out the word "passion" then your passion fo` music is still in you.. sorry if i`m babbling too much.. but that's juss` my opinion in response to your "Thoughts". Anyhow, nice playing :)

[thermopyle]

You say you're not that good at playing the piano but goddamn I wish I could play like that. =P

~Have a Nice Day

[katzluva]

You're so talented, it's sexy =D

[Arkshija]

The best song of final fantasy, its like be hearing the original CD, very nice.

sry for my english im spanish >.<

[Bubbledman]

Can anyone tell me how someone would go about getting sheet music for all these FF songs you all are playing? I'm getting back into the piano and I'm looking for some stuff to upgrade to when I get my scales and basics back up to par again...

[roguexlll14]

lol i love how you jupmed away from the piano like the spaghetti o's are finished in the microwave. haha

[korndog]

1 word...beautiful...thumbs up to you man!!!!

[mllcg]

nice.... i want ultemicia;s castle music posted... played on pipe organ

[Designedbydeath]

from your other videos you seem faster then your brother (i may be wrong) but your both awesome! And you should learn 'silence before the storm' or 'suteki da ne' from FFX .

I would love to see those performed on piano

great job!

[ManHoPark]

nah i just intended to post videos... he hasnt practiced as much as me... until much later when i started to not practice much lol...

[WiRedNERV4]

Just because you're not good at playing the piano doesn't mean it's not your passion. I've never had any lessons in my life and I just taught my myself. Although I'm not all that great, I still love playing the piano and I still want to improve.

[ManHoPark]

well thats a good point but,, if i wanted to make piano not just a passion, but as an occupation as well, I would fail most definitely... my passion for the piano is not always there and I tend to not play when I am frustrated or when pushing myself to hard... its quite random but anyhow, my point is that it gets sort of ridiculous afterawhile... but I have other interests...

[lethalSelphie]

Oooo!! Very nice!! I think it was worth all that time you put into it! ^^

[spiceslov3]

man you guys make me feel like training hard for this song. good job compared to the first!

[gpasuyf]

so cute =~~

you playing is awsome!!

[sweetcandybubble]

@kyle556 You can play Fantasie Improptu??!! That's so HARD - what with the odd timing in the left hand.. You are incredible...

[kyle5556]

lmao your first measure was better then my first measure. You played it JUST like the piano collections.

[drumstyx6464]

ohhh u gotta do eternal light waves from FFX-2...its the best! btw great performance as usual

[Odaniel3]

well anyway yes it was worth it and it was deffinetly better tahn the first, still not enough of a sensative tone to it. instead of using the soft pedal to paly soft use your own hands thats what I do and it seems to work

[Odaniel3]

funny thing only pedal I ever use is the sustain pedal and it's all I ever really need right now, ahven't seen a song that calls for the use of any others

[kyle556]

I WISH I HAD A SOFT PEDAL FOR MY DIGITAL PIANO!! You better use what you have to it's fullest!! I could play fantaise impromtu 2x better if I had a soft pedal!

[DaisyLovers243]

I love this. It's so much softer. The beginning is just near perfect. I LOVE IT!!!

[twseto]

Nice job. Definitely better than the first. Nice work. The sudden loud notes are a little startling and messes up the flow somewhat. If you want to bring out melody, don't bang the melody out, try playing the accompaniment part a little softer instead. For a soft piece like this you can't have sforzandos, instead, try using graudal crescendos. 5/5 for incredible improvement. keep it up.

[kyle556]

I'm very sure your piano can go softer then that! I can tell by the sound of what I hear. It sounds like your hitting the keys hard by the sound of the music.

This beats your first recording for sure, but I still think that you need to put more dynamics into this :D.

You stop playing loud very quickly after the loud creseando on third page. Btw great ending. (don't bang out those 3 chords though that you did LOL) 5/5

[ManHoPark]

of course it can go softer, right hand that is but Iwanted to bring out the melody, without destroying it which is , if i played the piece too soft some of the notes may sound missed when I actually played them. I spent hours trying to get that right, and I ended up giving up anyways

[ManHoPark]

if you notice the second to last note sounds missed but I know i played it, i kind of hate that but other than that it is okay... and i noticed that loud note. lol, i didnt think i played that loud, yet again i did not want to waste 7 hours of my life, or just gave up to begin with if that occured.

[kyle556]

"You will hear the softest audible sounds that can be played on this piano" I was just replying to this what you said in your info :P. You did bring out the melody more then last time :D

[ProjectTK]

I'm with ya-- I had a tough time phrasing this piece despite the fact that the notes itself wasn't that horrible =/

I have a new one that I posted up today if you wanna take a check=P

[MikMix04]

words of wisdom from master splinter LOL... good job! 5 starz

[makingmooz]

the fact that what you use is determination and not talent shows a lot about how much you like playing. i think, even if you dont have any talent (though i think contrary to that. :D) as long as you have determination, you'll as long as you have determination, you'll play better than the prodigy that is too lazy to play the piano. ..by the way, if you cant already tell, i'd make a horrible psychiatrist. which is why i'm not going to be one xD

[makingmooz]

y'see, i could criticize (constructively of course) you now, but.. i dont think that its that necessary. rather, i'd like to tell you that you should (meaning: must) continue playing the piano.

[qwerty1920]

Youre a funny insightful person.

This revised recording is way better than your 1st. Awesome work! Some pianos are difficult to work with. Some have a solid tone, whereas others disperse (somewhat like mine). And its so frustrating to get the softest possible tone that doesnt sound too harsh and shallow. Keep up the good work and keep improving. 5

[crapdoo]

THIS IS MUCH BETTER. bravo! :]
