The fact that there is a map of the world in the background just kinda made my day xD Lol call me crazy, but I thought that was like the coolest thing EVER
-_- Your face through the whole video looked like you would be watching TV... What the heck?! If I had been you I would have been a total wreck at those fast parts. XD Praise for your skills!
@smatteringofapplause i was never a fan of how slow okami music was, dont get me wrong i still loved every note of it, but i thought it was nice how he put his own style into it ( :
@MyMurphysLaw Hmm... Well, it really kinda changed the whole tone of the song just by speeding it up! It's not really Cherry blossom storm anymore, now is it? :P
nice work, but you totally got the feeling of the song wrong. instead of it feeling jubilant and joyous like the song should feel, you gave it a feeling of much more seriousness and kind of messed up the feeling of the song
OMG..I love Okami and your interpretation is just beautiful, actually I was just waiting to see someone do an interpretation of the incredible music from this game , incredible really, I love it .you're an incredible violinist =)
its not from the game guys...its his own composition...its just called okami...and since its japanese styled it sounds similar in some parts, but its NOT THE SAME MUSIC SO SHUT THE EFF UP
Like always, your great at what you do. I still can't believe violin only songs can sound so great.
Btw, i love Okami and it's songs and I think it's great you did this. Could you also try 'Tribe of the heavenly god'? I don't think it has violin in it, but I guess you'll figure something out that'll sound just as good. That is, IF you're going to do it ^^
That was really awesome! But I have a question. How can you play so loud? Don't your ears hurt? I play the violin too but now, my left ear has gone kind of bad and it has got to the point where when my teacher plays, my ear hurts too. Do you ever wear ear plugs?
Would you ever consider writing pieces for lets say... new coming RPG titles. I can see you as an amazing an amazing composer of sorts. You just have a glow about you when you play the music, if you could write your own for such titles, I can just see an amazing career in that field for you.
Nice, but would you consider background music added? the acoustics of that room isn't that lovely and as much as your playing great, it sounds a little blank.
Violins.. I love 'em with other classical and other instruments at all... ^_^"
I enjoyed your wonderful arrangement, spirited interpretation, and performance of this piece! I also enjoyed watching you having fun while playing it!
Ima attempt that for my solo, cept on flute, I think that I can play the melody.....if I practice hard, it won't sound the same, b/c of the instrument difference, but....yeah.
ooch....he should have rented it. Then if you decided you liked it enough, then he should buy it. Almost everyone i know wanted to play their instruments when they were younger, but not now anymore and their being forced to by their parents since they bought it. I'm still using my rented viola, but my parents might get me a five-string for my birthday
Question: I'm 16, you think it;s too late to start playing the violin? I know most of the Fundamentals, and i can read music (not violins i dont think)
no way man as long as your determined to learn it you can do it. Im 17 and almost 18 and i just started playing the violin. Plus you got an extra arsenal you can read music so it shouldn't be hard for you to start.
I started playing when I was 15 (one year ago) and I'm already pretty good, so you should be perfectly able to get somewhere if you start now :D Just make sure that you get a really good teacher, and don't give up when it sounds bad!
Omg!!! ^^ That my favorite song in Okami!!I didn't think someone could actually adapt it for the violin .... your a genius... that gonna take me a lot of pratice throught XD
I think I'm gonna try this one. Okami was awesome and that song's awesome and violins are awesome and I'm looking for a song to play. Fits, right?
