Moonsong / つきのうた [Cave Story]

[lukeguy97]

So beautiful.

[Mankemacho]

Dude's a real Machamp for using four hands.

[rolen120]

its inspirational

[Twolightsproductions]

You're incredible.

[aceblade10]

Love cave story and I love it's music!

I hope to be able to play this song to!

[FenrirWeapon]

So beautiful. I almost cried.

[Megabine]

Lol I wish I had the same number of hands has you did xD

[Chairntertainment]

dude you´re so amazingly playing

and

dude, you are so subbed :D

[GermanSeabass]

@aaron94ish someone has too much time on their lives to be expressing their useless opinions on a youtube video this guy is clearly a loser

[aaron94ish]

@GermanSeabass look this is what happened ok true story expressed in short my cuzin did this im so sorry hes so imature like 11 and he just wanted to make me look like a troll ok so no hard feelings right and no hes not a loser just young and reckless ok

[Punchbag205]

@aaron94ish So... from my point of view, your thoughts are, "Hm.... this guy saw that a game was beautifully made, had equally beautiful music, and practiced hard to play the music even more gracefully than the artist's original intentions.... for being a wonderful pianist, this guy is clearly a loser!"

[Megatyrant]

This may very well be the best piano rendition of "Moonsong" on Youtube. Well done. :)

[Mysilverthehedgehog1]

You're great!!! =D

[SlashTheSinHedgie]

YOU ARE A GOD!!!! <3 FIFTY-THOUSAND THUMBS UP!!!

[rhymeswithgabriel]

great rendition. you did a good job with it. better than anyone else i've ever seen~

[tinagetchel]

I LOVE YOU, MAN.

*sniff*

[luis128]

i love this song, awesome game. i'm happy that pixel is making money now, he desserves it for such an good game.

[kamajje]

@luis128 Most of the money is going to the Cave Story WiiWare developers, btw.

[loldannyhi]

Amazing arrangement! Do you mind reuploading the mp3? The link doesn't seem to work nor the links on your website.

[loldannyhi]

@loldannyhi Hah disregard that, i blow.

[scoman91]

Some poor soul litterally missed the like button.

[manomow]

@scoman91 I REALLY love this song, but who knows, maybe someone didnt like it. They have a right to press the dislike button without you criticizing him/her. Still, amazing song.

[scoman91]

@manomow It's a joke man. I understand that if someone doesn't like something they have a reason to dislike it. The only problem I have is that there is a dislike button at all. As the old saying goes, "If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." I also find it hard to believe that someone actually didn't like this. It's just that good.

[manomow]

@scoman91 Maybe someone just doesnt like the style of it. Also, they have a right to the dislike button, they have a right to share their opinion.

[scoman91]

@manomow I agree with the right to opinion, but I just don't like how "love it or hate it" the rating system has become. If it were still stars, then we wouldn't have this problem. And back to the root of all this, it was just a joke. Seriously, this joke is used on pratically every video on youtube, there is no reason to pick on me.

[manomow]

@scoman91 Oh GOD! I soooo miss the stars. It was the best way. You knew exactly how good you were doing. Now its a vague good or bad... -_-

[scoman91]

@manomow I'm glad to see we both agree on that. And I'm sorry if my earlier comment might have bothered you. Friends?

[manomow]

@scoman91 Friends. :D

[scoman91]

@manomow HUZZAH! XD

[TheGoldenlegend1]

pleeeeeeeeeease make the theme song, midi

:D

you're so talented

[lovelyaley]

i can't hear it... was the audio removed?

[greendayaddictions]

@lovelyaley

Sounds like a pulseaudio problem >:3

[lovelyaley]

@greendayaddictions okay, I tried it again today and I can hear it.

[thecakeofdestiny]

Excuse me while I blow my nose...

Anyways how could anyone but a troll thumb down this video?

[Kiwibird]

I got chills.

[SCRuner5h]

Happy birthday, Pixel-san!

[Amouero]

Great job recreating this wonderful peace! :) It is like I am making my ascent up outer wall once more!

[Solnai505]

I think i just had an eargasm.

[sinclose678]

I hope Pixel watches this!

[bdrmass]

@sinclose678 He had better watch this.

[Cantemes]

I still enjoy listening to this. I've finally gotten some friends of mine to listen as well (one replied "woah..." so kudos to you for blowing the mind of another person =P)

Kinda wish I could learn to play this. Sadly there's one giant obstacle. I do not own a piano, nor have one readily at hand for practice. (Combined with the fact that I don't play piano.... Alas, such is life.)

[KevlarMoses]

Like silk rubbing up against my ears.

(The same could be said about all slow piano songs however.)

[lishakara]

I love this song, and this part of the game. Bravo, man.

The machine gun made it so much easier though :q

[disneydina]

Dear Sebastian, I really cannot thank you enough for posting this song. You are so amazing once again. You gave me a safe place to clear my head and go somewhere where everything is good and beautiful. You gave me a heaven on earth where I can go anytime. I never thought music can mean so much to someone, but if there is someone who can prove that, it's you. Thank you so much.

Lots of love, Nadine

[GermanSeabass]

Hi Nadine - thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it. :)

[RandomPro2000]

I am left speechless of these 2 minutes and 46 seconds. If only it were longer. I must say that not only have you captured the pure beauty and epicness of Pixel's amazing and original song of the stunning game, Cave Story, you have transformed it into something of your own, a wonderful masterpiece. And as stated before, and possibly in the future: That was the purest of the pure epicness in the entire universe of music. Continue your awesome work, it'll take you places you never dreamed of...

[RandomPro2000]

I now realize I have commented before on this video. Well, now it shows that your music not only changes epic masterpieces into amazing beauties, but also people. Or is that just me?

[Remusz4]

Eine Frage : Kann man ein Video bei Youtube auch mehrmals mit "Genial" bewerten?

[vootey]

woah.

I love it.

[GlennMagusHarvey]

Wow. Beautiful.

My only comment was that you should have switched the stereo routing so that the higher part comes out the right speaker.

[SCRuner5h]

The Wii version should be able to accept custom tracks. Like this, for example, because hearing this on the Outer Wall would be amazingly amazing.

This post was brought to you by the United States Department of Redundancy Department. Located in the US.

[Anima2174]

wow that was beautiful thank you

[keetner]

"Due to biological restrictions..."

That actually gave me a bit of a chuckle =D

This was really nice though. Unfortunately I've never heard of the game or anything (until now that is), but it was still pretty touching.

Thanks for sharing =)

[GermanSeabass]

Thank you! And I highly recommend the game, even to non-gamers like myself.

[CMSonYT]

@GermanSeabass

Cave story has gameplay that matches with the traditional definition of gameplay. It is both popular and excellent in regard. Too much of the gaming unfortunately means being so obsessed with things like graphics to see the forest for the trees.

[GrayAndCyan]

best song that exsists

[LITTLEwithouttrace]

better than the original Ö__Ö

[AshleyRiot2006]

As stated:

Pure Epicness...

[LITTLEwithouttrace]

vor allen dingen, wenn man die story kennt und das spiel selbst... wow...

[LITTLEwithouttrace]

episch... ich hab echt fast geheult...

[RandomPro2000]

One word.

Beautiful. No, magestic, no, awesome, NO!

Just.

Pure.

Epicness.

That is all.

[Esperantanaso]

That song gave me shivers all over. o_o

Good job!

[BlueLumi8692]

moonsong sounds so magical.. lovely work with playing this beautiful piece n.n

[Cantemes]

A few things to say here:

A) Wow, you're clearly gifted and you did an amazing job with this, especially since you had to play it twice (plus practicing) and then get them to synchronize properly.

B) However, it sounds like there are a few wrong notes in this. Some of it is just the difference in the tunes, that much I know but, there are times where it actually does sound wrong.

C)I hope you don't find what I said to be a pain, like I said, you have obvious talent.

[GermanSeabass]

A) Thank you!

B) Not to ignore some missed notes, but the? composition does make use of some dissonant harmonies. Also, like most of my pieces, I add some improvisation.

C) I value constructive criticism way over OMG LOL U SUKC@!!!5

[invadercheeze]

Magical to say the least...

[cheezemonkeyeater]

Do you have this particular composition available for download somewhere? I know you have another two-handed piano version, but frankly, I like this one much better.

[unusualcatperson]

outstanding! you should do some music from 1 of the mother games :D

[GermanSeabass]

I'm actually arranging some stuff from Mother 3 right now..

[BlaZen4]

really when do you expect it to be done with it?

By the way ... is it ok it if you do pokey means business, ... if you can thank you and if you can't ... thanks for hearing me out haha ... .

[GermanSeabass]

Noo idea. I only have limited time dedicated to music (arranging, playing, learning, etc).

I also have a giant list of things I want to do, including Zelda, Super Mario, Bioshock, Phantom of the Opera, moar Cave Story, songs from Final Fantasy 8, 9, 10, Chrono Trigger/Cross.... and so very little time to make it all happen.

[veryfluffypillows]

i luv how u did this vid

[rikutheshadow]

das ist das beste was du bisher produziert hast und ich hab alles von dir gehört

[BlaZen4]

wow dood best version iv heard yet, bwhaha you split your self into two people and played the song

nice one =)

[ruglia]

Increíble.

[aCurrier]

i like how you overlayed the two vids

[Furyhunter]

:D Wooh!

[LupinAKAFlashTH]

This is beautiful! 5 stars for everyone- well, maybe. :P But definitely for you! ^_^

[kumothecloud]

amazing....

[nissansilviafan]

.....wow. It still blows me away how good you are. And from one pianist to another, that was one of the best duets I've ever heard. Absolut erstaunlich!

[BlyndEnigmatic]

It's like listening to love. Y'know, if love was written in g minor.

[EmptyPinata]

Dieses Lied ist sehr schoen. Vielen danke fuer es spielen. SEHR SCHOEN!

[Flameon302]

:0 2 day later: still :0 HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOUR AWESOME

[Remusz4]

Ich habe mir schon einiges von dir angehört alles richtig gute Arbeit. Aber bei diesem Stück musste ich mich einfach einloggen und ein Kommentar dazu schreiben! (Daumen hoch)

[GermanSeabass]

Na, vielen Dank :)

[Junansou]

Man u are great!

I've also made some pianocovers, but this one is much greater than mine!

[cheezemonkeyeater]

You know, I've noticed something. Just changing the instrument actually changes the mood of the song slightly. I had a different emotional response to the music in the game than I did from this one.

[knausebart]

oh-my-GOD!!!

this is ...i can´t find the right words!

Amazing!

[cheezemonkeyeater]

I loved this song the most out of the whole game. And you play it so well.

[GermanSeabass]

Best song ever.

[cheezemonkeyeater]

I don't know about that, but it's certainly in the running.

[CrispyYoshi]

Amazing. Very. Amazing.. ;A;

[aty57]

Where in the game was this music played?

[CrispyYoshi]

Err... did you even play the game? :(

-SPOILERS-

It's the room right after Kazuma asks if you want to escape the island with him.

-END SPOILERS-

[aty57]

The Outer Wall portion of the game.

I've played but I have a hard time remembering the music in the game.

Thanks by the way.

[CrispyYoshi]

Aww.. You don't remember the music? That's part of what makes the game for me! Without the music, it doesn't feel like Cave Story.. D:

Oh. And I know It's Outer Wall. Heh..

[edcjunice]

Beautiful.. always enjoy watching your videos and listening to your music. Thanks for sharing:)

[SaxalaxMania]

-clicks to subscribe-

[solarlunarxiiiAMV]

I can read that! it says tsuki no uta

[AyaneTao]

yay me too ! ^^ xD

[AlexKntgns]

random question: Do you have a perfect pitch?

[GermanSeabass]

Nope, sadly.

[AxemJinx]

I feel like most of the remixes don't nail the strength of the part at 1:20 to 1:33...but you did :p

Thanks a lot for this.

[FF7ACJW]

That was fantastic! Have you ever heard of Okami? It has one of the best scores I've yet heard in a video game. I'm sure you'd enjoy it. I know there's sheet music somewhere...

[GermanSeabass]

Mm, Okami sheet music is still quite scarce. And yes, I love all 4 (or is it 5?) CDs of the soundtrack.

[FF7ACJW]

My favorites are The Sun Rises, The Real Susan-O, and Ryoshima Coast. Have you played the game?

[Jameszhangdude]

Holy crap!!! You finally revealed yourself?!?! :O

hehe, so you finally gave into peer pressure, eh?

[GermanSeabass]

What peer pressure? :)

[Jameszhangdude]

oh you know, those millions of PM's about revealing yourself... You had to give in sooner or later ;)

[GirlintheMask421]

wow... we finally c ur face! ^_^

haha

plays amazing piano and is cute?? hmm.... ^_-

lol ♥

[oxXMissMurderXxo]

GERMAN SEABASS HAS A FACE!?!?

Lovely :)

You work just gets better and better.

[LivingxDarkness]

amazing.

just....just...

amazing.

[tellab17]

I didnt know you had a face! =D Very beautiful.

[xNinjaBeanerx]

so thats what you look and sound like haha..

your fan since 2006.

ummm... were is the new Kindom Heart Music man!!!! been waiting for 3 years haha.. jk jk j k jk

[GermanSeabass]

New Kingdom Hearts video no later than a week after Square Enix publishes the official Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections, which is May 27. :)

[Toadsanime]

Wow, that truly is amazing! You played that astoundingly well and it simply sounded beautiful. =D

[Zefimas]

Were you listening to the first recording when doing the second one? Saw those earplugs;)

Anyway, beautiful as always, and nice to finally see te face behind the piano!

Best regards,

Zefimas

[GermanSeabass]

Yup, I recorded the first part with the camera and another microphone. I took the mic's recording, put it on my iPod and listened to that while playing the second part. Glad you liked it :)

[tjoa8]

We finally see the face of an extremely talented pianist...

[Shyllow511]

Bravo.. 5 star listen everytime...

[Axen901]

HE HAS A FACE! AND A VOICE! WHAT THE ----?!

Do you really need more people to compliment your skill or can I applaud silently?

[SonofConfucius]

I LOVE this. Thank you so much.

Moonsong is my favorite song you have ever played yet.

You are truely amazing and a pianist to aspire to.

For those of us who do not read sheets well yet and are practicing hard but still can not grasp it. Could a basic tutorial be arranged? If not, it is understandable.

Keep up the great work,

SonOfConfucius

[GermanSeabass]

I really, really love this song, and I'm glad how well it came out (despite first experiments with self-duets)...

Not sure about tutorials though; I have never done them, and I doubt I'll do them in the future. Sheet music is posted on my website, and I don't think I can be of more help than that...

Glad you liked it though!

[rasenganzanpakuto]

I am glad that I subscribe to you :)

[Tomfish3000]

Absolutely beautiful ;_;

[FF7ACJW]

The awesomeness killed me.

[cullen212121]

...I wish I was pixel...

[HubbaBubba9849]

[LiiChinHo]

The more the merrier!

[g4gamergirl931]

[mitzydog101]

Cute face.

[crazyguy369]

OMG we finally see teh face of the crazy pianist :OOO

[trancerxboi]

Very nice

I am about to start learning piano.

Your playing makes me want to get better right away. But I havent been able to get my piano yet. But I hope to get it very soon and start practicing. :]

5/5!

[KibaSan1234]

[bluexmoonxmusic]

heeyyyy, nice face!! you're amazing btw!

[xmikywayx]

OMG YOU HAVE A FACE!!!! XDDD

Brilliant playing, as always. <3

[iwantmoremilk14]

Awesome, dude...

[mebeshalina]

Forget what everyone said about your face its the talent that matters.

YOU ARE FANTASTIC ITS AMAZING

[pureblood2]

gosh, you have it all. those hands are blessed, you are very good looking and such talent. I dont care if you look like monster, i would marry you just to hear those masterpieces.

Keep doing such a great job.

[Xalmr]

I always thought you were a fish. Now I know the truth: You're a fish with a face!

Dude, you have it all. Talent, great name (Sebastian Wolff? Do you know how AWESOME that is?), and now a distinguishable face. You could easily make yourself known in the music industry, mate.

[GermanSeabass]

I hope to do so, some day. Not sure about the music industry though... seems awfully competitive.

[Mordain607]

Biological restrictions my ass! You could have played with your feet!

Seriously though, AMAZING!

[GermanSeabass]

I have tried! Didn't work out as planned though...

[JEROyROSA]

LOL! ^.^

[adzscot]

QFT~

[liverpoolfan3333]

Wow you have a face! JK I'm glad we all now know what you look like!

[leekaiwei]

[nucleose]

Amazing job matching them up, really, I always liked this song, and you've definitely increased that likingness.
