Mezame: A Tribute To The Warriors Of The Old Republic

[Shaymarie87]

The elegant beauty of both the song and the video brings me to tears. Absolutely love this!!

[Jensaarai1]

One of my favorite videos. I always end up returning to it, even after five years.

[JARHuygebaert]

@Jensaarai1 Ha, same for me. I watched this one for the first time in oktober 2006 and listen to it every week

[DarthTerrest]

Cool video please check my starwars the old republic tribute and tell me what you think :-)

[JARHuygebaert]

Ach, music. I listen to this song since october 2006 and I still listen to it every week :P

[TenkanVlog]

No matter how many times I watch it, it always gets me.

So epic. So awesome.

Thanks for the upload, man.

[HandOfHeaven9]

This is my favorite video of all time!!! I love Star Wars, as well as Yuki Kajiura!!!

[plat0nism]

O_O Now I want to watch all the star wars today.

[SaradThamia]

I 1st saw this years ago(probably about the time it was first posted) and I fell in love with it.(wish I knew what the song lyrics mean, if anything) I never would have thouht to combine this song with the fight scenes from Star Wars but it turned out to be an *awesome* vid. Thanks SO much for putting the time and effort into it and sharing. I've made vids of my own and I know good vids take work. If you have a chance, I'd love for you to check out my vids. My 1st was 'Immortal'

[BudokaiTH]

2:11-2:22 is my favorite part~

[2010honors]

they should of put this song in the movies

[DaBlackWolf]

20 people have no idea of taste.

Awesome doesn't do this vid justice.

Very Well done bud.

[RoninAquila]

@DaBlackWolf

Thank You, Sir/Madame/Miss.

Have not been able to make as many movies/AMVs/Videos as I would like to/used to be able to, and of late kinda feel embarrrassed that I am leeching off so much good will from just one short film for 3 years.

Nevertheless, I will endeavor to repay your collective kindness after November when I am a (hopefully) certified Flash/CG animator, and actually EARN the right to this kindness by making more and new films.

Thank You ALl.

[JumpDaFuuckUp]

If someone asked me "what does awesome mean?", I'd show this video to him!

[kqr66]

at 1:06 the trooper got shot. =( Awesome vid! great synchronous!

[RoninAquila]

@kqr66

Oh Thank You.

Though to be honest, that synchronization was accidental and completely unintentional; I was more going for the sweeping motion across the field.

But your kind remarks are nevertheless appreciated.

[kqr66]

OMG! i cant believe 20 people voted you down! I dont deserve to watch this its so good

[JARHuygebaert]

I watched this video for the first time almost four years ago, and I still listen to it every week

[DarkFireBlade25]

Kajiura Yuki is my composing idol. great vid with the perfect music.

[hossam86]

2:11 Yoda fight is awesome with the music. Perfect match. Finally a video that does the song justice

[demonhunter505]

Ya, I also have known this video for quite a while... and I also think it's epic! =D

[STARLIGHT5000]

huh, 2 no 3 years later and only 52,000 more views than when I first found this, i thought of this in my exams and it really helped me concentrate, I just luv this

[MrDeArm]

I watch this movie for years now, and I still love it...

[Ausworthar]

finally found it again, Epic.

[Cristianomarcs]

Perfect!!!!

5/5 Stars

[IndigoPhoenix19]

Quite fuck awesome!! :D

[jasonha82]

Awesome!!!

[Yatef]

5/5! Five stars. Love that song, and loved the video.

This video just made me 20% more of a Star Wars fan. :D

[RoninAquila]

Wow.

Thanks for keeping this video's reputation strong after two years fellas!!

Glad to see I can strengthen a fan's faith!! Thank you!!

[Yatef]

Your welcome, but the appreciation should go to you, surely. You made this video. : )

[mumutl]

Lindomar atack 1:38

[300Coddy300]

5 stars. very good song.

[sullesekram]

Very nice tribute, gotta love her songs. It fit really well.

[TheRequiemChosenOne]

OMG! That was amazing! Beautiful and Amazing song! Great choice in the different clips! You mixed it all well and it matched perfectly with the music! 5 Stars and favorited! Awesom, Awesome, job!

[RoninAquila]

You're too kind, sir/madame/miss.

[JumpDaFuuckUp]

@RoninAquila he is just right. you really did an awesome job on that one

[darthkahn45]

a great tribute 5 stars

[tijncom]

great job. looks and sounds really good, and the video matchs the sound track perfectly.

[FighterPlaneAce]

I can't get over how awesome this vid is, great job.

[nyctasiaselesq]

"A song of storm and fire" and "Inca rose" too. Miss Yuki Kajiura is getting better and better. Sorry for missunderstanding you.

[jramza]

I first saw this vid over a year ago - still my favorite; what a perfect soundtrack!

[yourock888]

cool man!

[AzzySunfire]

It sounds alot like a Remix.

is there any version of this with the PURE Chorus only, without the techno part?

[ReedT]

This is the original song. Its called Mezame and comes from an anime soundtrack for the show Mai Hime.

[gariadara]

there is, however, a choir version without the backbeat. search for "Ensei" on youtube and click on the first video. listen to the whole song.

[nyctasiaselesq]

Unfortunately, Mezame and Ensei are 2 different tracks. I might have misunderstood you, but if you imply that Ensei is Mezame without the back beat you are wrong. Otherwise, I am wrong.

[gariadara]

Well, Ensei is the closest thing to being another version of Mezame. They have the same chorus. I know the difference, of course. Both are really good.

[siasiesqsevahacer]

I just read your comment on this video, there is a version that is called himeboshi is slower, if you do not hear, you can put on youtube to listen "live himeboshi mezame"

[demonhunter505]

whats the name of the song?

[FighterPlaneAce]

The name of the song is Mezame.

[demonhunter505]

i swear you should be famous for making awsome music videos

[deathlord009]

you should have sent this to lucas arts saying. HIRE ME!!!

[Marro333]

Amazing.

[moparmaxx26]

That was Great!

5 out of 5

[montarazdelnorte]

the end its genial obiwan and anakin

the music fantastic and fights brutal

GENIAL and duel of fate the best

[omega8423]

great video

[josh2k765]

please tell me where you got the clips please!!!!

[RoninAquila]

A friend gave them to me on a USB stick, sir/madame/miss.

[josh2k765]

oh okay np :) btw fantastic video loved every little bit of it

[purplegumibear]

WHAAAAAAA

Having just finished watching mia hime, this really is awsome, the music fits the vid so well. great job

[omegainfinito]

esta bien pero no lo suficiente

[Dabmbboyz]

I agree with your Kit-Fisto statement

[AlwaysDreamChaser]

AWESOME

[KuroJun666]

this theme is from mai hime. most of the composers songs are for mai hime and other anime.

[FighterPlaneAce]

You really did an awesome job on the video, keep it up.

[Dmces88]

A masterpiece!

[BelgianGeneral]

good video. this isn't the Old Republic though.

[Possumtrapper25]

Yes it is.

[agavegrove]

He's right. The Old Republic was before the Galactic Empire. Unofficially, when someone says "the Old Republic" it's usually referring to the Republic seen in the "Knights of the Old Republic" games, 4000 years before the movies.

I thought this video was going to feature Revan, Malak, et. al.

[FighterPlaneAce]

By Old Republic it means before the Empire came to power.

[Bartilus]

One of best tributes to star wars i have seen for long time. good work.

[victordrija]

I can tell you something about stars wars, but i dont see stars wars xD but man you vid is amazing the song and the fights are perfect, really man you use a good selection of movie for this movie :D (my english is not perfect >.> if i have a error tell me xD)

[DarkFiraga64]

Amazing video and awesome song. I hear it in my head sometimes at school, lol. It would be so cool to have a lightsaber too. Mine would be green or maybe silver from KOTOR, I think. Ever think of what yours would be? (I know they don't exist, but I can dream, right?)

[cutelilmurderer]

You make Star Wars cool for me again. Thanks, I am inspired to make a Star Wars video of some sort now :)

[killerraven1984]

You know, I was skeptic when I looked at the title, but it's actually pretty badass.

Great work.

[meribel27]

i love this vid :) another great one similiar to this is "a star wars tribute" by meridiem

[CuteGallifreyian]

I remember posting this on a site I belong to and I thought I had lost contact with this vid, but I am so happy I found it again. I so love this song, it's so bitter sweet in so many ways.

[RoninAquila]

What I loved about "Revenge of the Sith" is it is one of the few films when you get to see the villains AND the heroes cry, which really helped with the addagio section of this AMV before the thunderous final chorus.

[FighterPlaneAce]

That was awesome, keep up the great work.

[thelostmemories]

awsome work man keep it up!

[Spartamus1]

true work of are i love it some one needs to make another one with different epic music this music mad epic but you gotta change it up also makes me want to train thanks for the great mv

[TheChiwawa]

wish this song is on itune

[andy199]

Excellent job. great choice of music.

[snowbegrime2]

Excellent job on the video. Plus, another great song that you found. (nerine's theme was awesome)

[NinjaTyler]

is it on i-tunes, if so, then where/how can i find it on i-tunes???hlp plz!

[TheChiwawa]

any idea how to dl the song?

[newbiec86]

Ah yes, the music from the main fight scene in My Hime. Good choice...

[deathlord009]

should have sent it to lucas so they could use this to promote boxset dvd of star wars

[meribel27]

this was an insanely good video. the music is good, the scenes are good, and the music matches the action perfectly. 5/5, keep up the good work!

[NinjaTyler]

who didn't like the prequels of star wars? i mean i know there r some of u out there who hates them 4 some reason, but we need themto complete the orginal triligy.

STAR WARS FOREVER!!!!!!!

[NinjaTyler]

STAR WARS FOREVER!!!

[NinjaTyler]

Yet another butifually done star wars tribute, well done, 5/5!!!

keep up the great work

[Airbender222]

truly a master piece!

[ChaosNinja666]

amazing

[RoninAquila]

Thanks. I'll do my best to do better on my next one.

[rarass]

o.o....thanks

[rarass]

Anyone kind enough to tell me what language is this in? I assume it's Japanese?

[RoninAquila]

The composer herself, Kajiura Yuki, is Japanese.

This song, however, is a combination of various European languages, prominently Latin, with a touch of Japanese thrown in, dubbed "Kajiuran" by her fans.

[Razor2403]

great!!! 5/5

[paradamed]

Very nice vid for sure.

[pktuntunwala]

hey this is an awsome video, great music great visuals

[bballplaya444]

I used this song for a lord of the rings tribute i made

[RoninAquila]

Ooh, Please Link It!!

[mia624]

AMAZING!!!! Simply AMAZING! Brilliantly done....

[snkrules]

found this video while searching for MEZAME, because i liked My Hime. I must say that this music is very fitting to this video. nice job :)

[chewyi]

LMAO same i was searching for mezame when i came across tis video good job anyway i muz say

[bballplaya444]

this vid gave me chills. it's the best star wars vid ever

[redwa11er]

This has got to be the best Star Wars fan video ever. the music is awesome, the whole thing just fits together so well.  great job.

[piotrekbusko]

it is the best video made!!!

[DarthNefarious]

This is my favorite Star Wars Fan Made Movie!!!! This is my favorite Movie on You Tube!!!! Very Well Done

[gozo1985]

obi wans move at 04:15 is so cool...

bam... 4 down with one ultraspin ;)

[myaccount235]

The video is good but you need to put the quality of the music higher

[Shinjuthief]

This makes Star Wars look like a rave.

[Possumtrapper25]

This still remains one of my fav vids thanks.

[mavrick316]

It's cool eithing but the musics gota go!

[bmarley10]

wow great work on this, makes me wanna watch the whole trilogy again...*rumages through dvds*

[DarthComrade]

Beautiful work, very touching...certainly gets the right feel of what the Jedi Order went through in the last stages of its life...chaos.

[MagikalOverlord]

I have searched YouTube for all videosusing Mezame, and I feel that yours is by far the best one of them all. The rythem and feel of this song match the clips perfectly. Keep up the amazing work!

[RoninAquila]

Aww Shucks!! Thank You!! (Turns Red With Embarrasment)

[jrmmrj]

Really, well done mate. Out of interest, what video-making program did you use?

Thanks in advance!

[RoninAquila]

Hmm, if I remember correctly, I used Ulead Movie Studios Version 10, sir/madame/miss.

[AndreLordOfFootball]

Nah i would like you to do LOTR or Matrix AMV. Or maybe SpiderMan or X-MEN?

[gomthaol]

i like that idea, it would be so awesome!

[AndreLordOfFootball]

There are many videos of Chicken fights in Family Guy. Many. Most have original sounds or Mortal Kombat theme. I think another video of Chicken Fight is not needed. Maybe do something with LOTR or Matrix.

[RoninAquila]

Hmm, perhaps something like Pirates of The Carribbean?

[gomthaol]

eh, this song is good i wouldn't waist it on family guy. but i like the idea of other videos going to this song :-)

[gomthaol]

Even though i've watched this many time it still the greatest video i've ever seen.

[RoninAquila]

Aww gee thanks!!

Though for me next project, I need some feedback/advice.

I like to do things in threes, and the followup to this "Mezame" music video, I'm thinking of doing a "silly-Mezame" to the Chicken-Fight Trilogy of "The Family Guy."

Would that be a cool idea? If not, feel free to tell me.

[lordofmyarse]

i actually would love that-it honeslty would be awesome but i think you need some song more fast pace and less dark. there isent the element of tragedy in the chiken fued that there is in the prequils of star wras-this song is dark and trageic

[ProffesorUsless]

This was really well done, i loved it, 5/5 all the way

[gomthaol]

this is a great video i love the music!:-)

[DarthVAnkaTau]

bravo 5/5 stars a great video going straight to my favorites

[CGholy]

wow

[JFlash88]

Wow, this is brilliant, really good editing and choice of song.

[trinitypadme]

Bravo RonanAquila!! One of the best videos of the prélogie which I know! The choice of mezame esxt really very good!

[martinishark]

A step above - awesome.

[joshbleiler]

cool vid.

[darthmaul1987]

Great Video! The Best Star Wars Tribute I have seen yet. It makes me cry and smile at the same time. I don't know how to explain the feelings I get from watching this video. I guess they can only be felt not told.

[martinishark]

i totally agree, darth. seriously, the music fits perfectly for the intensity and tragedy of the subject.

[Yerffoeg5]

song-good footage-good needless 2 say it was good

[Fabiosigno0001]

what's the name song?

[RoninAquila]

It is called "Mezame" by Kajiura Yuki.

[jramza]

Ronin, You wrote 9 months ago, and it bears repeating (I watch your video avery couple days - thanks): The song "Mezame" is intense, sad and dark, yet filled with nobility, hope and heroism, and hence for me was the perfect song to summarize the heroic tragedy of the prequel trilogy.

[DrAlbino]

I agree with this guy, Throughly i watch this once a week at least and i always get a chill up my spine no matter how many times i've seen this before.

[RoninAquila]

Wow... Gee Thanks. Its so very flattering to see my work so loved.

[arabianknight86]

RoninAquila Where can get this song legally

[RoninAquila]

Ah, go to Amazon and type "Mai Hime Soundtrack." and make sure you get the First Volume.

[arabianknight86]

I agree this is an awesome video RoninAquila where can get this song...legally

[RoninAquila]

Thank You, Brother/Sister Human, for passing this message of unconditional love to me, as I have just done so to another 4.

Lots Of Love

RoninAquila

[lilaznkoori]

any give me the lyrics? ive searched forever, why don't they have it?

[RoninAquila]

Dear Sir/Madame/Miss.

Miss Kajiura Yuki has not made official lyrics of this song either it seems, as I had no luck finding it either.

The language used seemed to be a combination of various European languages, though Bible-Latin seems to play a most prominent role.

But I'll try to make a transcript anyways.

But tells you what, I will listen to the song and try to make a transcript of it.

[lilaznkoori]

wow thanks, but how do u understand it?

[RoninAquila]

I did Latin in High School due to my interests in Ancient Rome and Dungeons and Dragons, Sir. :)

[0lucas00]

I don't know what to say. Fantastic music fits perfectly with the amazing video. Excelent job.

[jramza]

Gotta admit - this music is kick ass... I bought the soundtrack off ebay, and it is really AWESOME music - there is another song on it that would make a great video song - track 6 (sounds like "Tubular Bells".)

[PantsuPantsu]

Best star wars vid.

[JumpDaFuuckUp]

can u say name of the song and artist? its the greatest mucic for a tribut I've ever heard

[RoninAquila]

The song is called "Mezame."

It is by Miss Kajiura Yuki, one of the Leading Mistresses of Japanese Anime Music Score composition.

While you're at it, check out the anime which the music came from, called "My Hime." You won't regret it.

[skerkel]

One of the best Star Wars Vids I have ever seen. I myself am a Star Wars fan and that deserves more than a 5/5.

[JamariLaw316]

This is the best Star Wars music video tribute i have ever seen and is a standard for all that came before and will come after it. Great Job!

[d1nonlyknighty]

mace windu is d best

[JumpDaFuuckUp]

wow this video is awesome! my greatext respects

[arabianknight86]

Love it..the song fits perfectly and good job with editing

[andor3938]

brilliant music, splendid vid, I really enjoy it

[MarcusDarkstar]

Also vader couldve been very agile in being mostly cyboretic ( ie most of his body was robotic now) and no other great swordsmen of the clone era survived ecept ObiWan and he was both old and didnt practice with his lightsaber for about a decade or two .

[michinco]

great music! good work Yuki!

want to see more of your work!

[NamelessMC]

To correct what people have speculated on skills in the past and present. Call it Lucas' mistake in using modern choreography in a series that is a predecessor to an older movie, but as far as story goes, Vader was more powerful with the force than light saber combat. He didn't NEED to fight with his light saber skill in IV-VI, neither did Palpatine.

[Blackhawk1913]

Great music they should have used this in the movies i agree with you.

[kevlonk]

Now THIS is the music they should have used for the Star Wars prequels.

[sansus]

wow, great job. nice choice of music - kajiura's osts are flawless :)

[GunxSwordR]

nice, mai hime music!!

[kingcobra1913]

Amazing video one of the best i have seen on youtube.

[REALRIDER]

awesome vid... especially the music :)

[HopesLastStand]

cuz hes gay

[deicidemaul]

can i ask why darth maul is just popping and disapear up at 04:07?
