  • 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?

  • I play the viola and I want music to okami so bad because I swear I'm the #1 fan xS

  • 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

  • How long have you played the Violin? O_O

  • omg...that song sends me warm feeling down my spine...

  • DO TRIBE OF HEAVENLY GOD/KAMI PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE THE SONG"S FROM OKAMI TOO AND IT"S AWESOME!!!!

  • you make me want to buy a violin:)

  • -_- 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!

  • This is amazing!!! :D I like to play this on flute; but I prefer your version far more. I'm jealous...

  • i love okami and i play violin can you tell me where you got the notes so i could play it? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA­AASSSE!!!

  • Haha... great man! looove it!

  • I LOVE OKAMI <3

    AND I LOVE VIOLIN!!!

  • Unfortunately, it's too fast and you skipped several key notes especially near the beginning.

  • @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

  • Does anyone else think that the beginning of the song sounds like Zelda ???

  • great job

  • Yay Okami!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDD ....

  • 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

  • @MrMarkf132 for a violinist, that was joyful ( :

  • @MrMarkf132 There is no 'supposed' feeling that you can get. It all boils down to the violinist's interpretation.

  • i just played this song trying to figure out the notes by myself for 4 hours and my fingers hurt from fingering the notes and pizzicado. LOL

  • Your music is really good!! It's perfect! :D Keep making more awesome-ness!

  • Okami was such a GOOD game!

  • @YourfriendOmenBoy I know!! I hated having to finish it! D: how did you fair with Yami?

  • @sakuraneechan82 oh that? uhhhh i dont remember xD I cant remember past 1 day sadly....

  • @YourfriendOmenBoy aww darn x3 i actually would've liked to talk to someone about the game since none of my friends have played it

  • @sakuraneechan82 well let me play the game again, and we'll talk lol

  • @YourfriendOmenBoy I will wait x3

  • @sakuraneechan82 xD coolio beanies lmao

  • @sakuraneechan82 Well, I finished the game so many times (and cried so many times) that Yami was rather easy OwO but it was a pain fighting him D;

  • @bananacrunch90 r u serious?! it took me like 2 hours to kill him!! D: how was it easy?!

  • OoO

  • You play very well, thanks for this video ! :)

  • cool dude. okami is the best videogame ever made with the best musical score ive ever heard.

  • holy tits!!! 0.0

  • Woah you're awesome, please teach me. Teach poor weaboo T_T. Seriously though, I love it.

  • Wow, you are incredible. I'm proud to say that I'm Concert Master of the highest orchestra in my town, but I'm nothing compared to you! GREAT JOB!!!

  • omg gorram awesome!!!!

  • Bravooo!!!!

  • for what part of the game is this the theme for??

  • @getsuga97 Isn't it the part where the tress get restored or was it when you're at the field? O.o

  • @MeltingIris

    i think it is

  • @getsuga97 Um... He just said that.... *sweatdrop* It's from a video game called Okami. I haven't played it, but everyone says it's awesome.

  • @MariaBernkastel

    well, i have...

    if you actually read my comment, you wouldve noticed that i said what PART of the game, not what game...

  • @getsuga97 Oh... My bad... ^^;

  • @MariaBernkastel

    'skay!!

  • Woah. :0

  • it's never too late!

  • wow your good at this :P im not that as good but ill try my best to be like you ^^

  • Sounds abit chinese'y in te beginning haha

  • Maaaaan this is so Bleach... it would have been perfect for this upcoming Byakuya and kempachi vs Yammi fight.

    I love your work.

  • Beautifully done :D

  • awesome!!!!!

  • You should work for those companies that make the musical scores for video games! ^w^ I love your work as always

  • and Anime BGM Osts too :D

    like that bleach never meant to belong cover :D

  • You should do Chunjack's theme from Okami.

  • 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 =)

  • this one is so awesome...

    as i said, I always enjoy listen to you playing...

    this could be part of an epic video game ^^

  • Um, Okami IS an epic video game.

  • OMG, it does sound like it is from Zelda.

  • oh my gosh, this song is simply amazing! you have so much talent! is this song MP3? i would love to have it so i can listen to it everyday^^!

  • lol awesome sounds like Zelda the lost woods theme

  • i beat the game recently and got the soundtrack, but now i would rather listen to this than that...:/ heh

  • Wow, you're not very bright are you?

  • OMG!

    i HAD JUST BEEN THINKING SOMEONE NEEDED TO DO ONE OF THE SONGS FROM oKAMI!

    I recently fund the soundtrack and loved it!

    And you played it perfectly!

    I wish I ws as good as you!

    Im still an amateur violinist tho...

    Well, time to practice!

  • 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 ^^

  • I see the ring lol did you two get married already?

  • he did like a month ago ... it's sooooo cute =)

  • I play Violin and Im ten! You did an awesome job sir!

  • omg wow lol

  • that was awesome...

  • nice

  • very nice

  • you played most of that in what? 3rd position?

  • Where did you buy your nice violin, Mr.Ben?

  • soo coool thanks you for this music piece

  • mp3!

  • You're awesome. I wanna play as well as you.

    The song sounds like a Zelda song. :D

  • wows! that was amazing!

  • U NEED TO RECORD THAT!

    i want that on my iPod!!!!

  • pfffffffffff, I record all of benchan's songs with my computer, that way I can listen on the road.

  • 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?

  • awesome!! how much are yu for weddings, baptisms, etc.?????????

  • sounds like asian music

    :)

  • That's because it's from a Japanese-themed game :)

  • This sounds like Zeldas lost woods :)

  • thought the same

  • That is some pretty awesome stuff. Great work.

  • good song

  • Great Job!

  • Very lovely Ben! And it looks like you're having fun in that swivel chair! Looks cozy.

    Congratulations again!

  • magnifico¡¡¡ genial¡¡¡cool¡¡so kawaii muy bueno

  • O.O AWESOME

  • Hey! I have the same map in my room....

    cool

  • ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!!

  • 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.

  • Your ring in your left hand suits you...hehehe...congratulations again!!!

  • 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... ^_^"

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    dood you're amazing

  • YEAH BEN CHAN! YOU ROCK IT!

  • I enjoyed your wonderful arrangement, spirited interpretation, and performance of this piece! I also enjoyed watching you having fun while playing it!

  • Wiiiiiii so cuteeee

  • I love this. Wonderful.

  • Wow.....O.O

    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.

  • this just relaxes me the violin is a great instroment maby i should start playing again

  • wow. awesome, I love the whole pentatonic asain...ness.

  • awesome!

  • Lol I wanna be 3rd and uhh

    is that a full size violin o.O?

  • I think Ben Chan's the best violin player ever and my sister's second. ^^ But that's my opinion.

    love it so much!

  • love it, your good (: !

  • Im 12 :D My father bought me violin for my bday last month and this month im going to learn violin :DDDD

  • 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

  • lovees excatly well sound like a storm of leaves and everything eles. i loved the runs!!!! i will definitly try playing this !!!! play is soo well 5*

  • this makes me want to go play it... :[

  • I absolutely love it! It was so intense. Looking forward to next week.

  • Looks like you still got it ben :)

    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)

    What do you 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.

  • hell no! Go for it :D

  • 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!

  • Youre good. I've been playing for 11 years and I still cant play that well. And like a practise too. Well not that much as Im not in QYO or anything.

  • yes! an Okami cover! awesome :)

  • yei i was your first vote!

    love your stuff

  • Absolutely beautiful. Wonderful job! Really!

  • DUDE! You did it! Awesome!

  • That was great as always, Ben =]

  • whats this from?

  • Okami. It's a video game.

  • he composed it.

  • No he didn't. It is from of Okamia, an amazing videogame.

    Great cover though.

  • bravo!!!

  • This is like the best game ever, I kneel before you for playing this =D

  • Awesome song for an awesome game xD.

  • Where have you been!?! I've really missed your new uploads!

    Another great job BTW, I love the "modern" piece.

  • I LOVE DAVID GARRETT! haha, and this is a cool song. you should record a cd :)

  • 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

  • thanks! this is great! :3

  • I miss old NES music on violin ect..

  • this sounds like a song that would go in an old fasion asian fighting game, like street fighter :D really like it Mr. Chan!! Fantastic work!

  • wow!

    you're a really great musician! congratulations n.n

    BTW: What does "Okami" mean?

  • Okami Mean God in Nippon. (Japanese)

  • I thought it meant 'wolf' o.o

  • Okami means wolf, but Kami means god in japanese.

  • Or paper :DD

  • There we go he's more accurate.!! lol I keep thinking god when I see Okami for some reason.

  • Really awesome job!!!
