"M" FFX Rikku's Theme lonlonjp

[Kirillcankicker]

lonlon, I have a question. How do you get such crisp and ringing sound from a classical/flamenco? When I ever play a classical the sound is beautiful, but it is so hard to hear!

[lonlonjp]

@Kirillcankicker haha^^

The magic is hiden inside the song itself and not my playing =D

I love this song so much :)

[yubbone]

i would like to thank you for your videos. your remarkable playing inspires me to continue to play guitar in the hopes that one day i can play music as beautifully as you do. motivation is one of the greatest gifts a person can give someone, and you have definitely given me that :)

[ZNOOxZNOO]

Thank goodness you arrange all these beautiful songs lonlonjp :) If it was'nt for you I would have nothing to play on my classical nylon guitar. Life with music is truly beautiful :D

[Reeceoo7]

Every time before I watch one of your videos, I press the like button.

[TenshiRukia99]

Ohhh, I LOVE Rikku! :D

[cactuarnazi]

Every time I watch one of your videos I am complete blown away...since I am a guitarist I also try to play these songs the way you do, but I can't and I feel like a complete idiot because the song difficulty is rated "M". But either way you are WAY too good ;D

[DoDsaami]

:D wonderful playing again! hey i got a request, can u try auron's theme :o i really like that song n wud like to hear it played on guitar by you. Wud be cool. keep plucking

[vampire10110011]

ur so amazing!!!!

[tocomfomeefrio]

just amazing, in Brazil we said, MUITO FODA

[Cheonsang7]

I admire you. You're an amazing guitarist! There are many who are well known, because they have money to advertise their video and get many view. but you are an unsung hero! Don't let it all get to your head though =). There is a difference between playing a song, and delivering the feeling to the audience. And you can do the second!

[kickazz96]

Do you have the tab for that or your arrangement anywhere I could find it?

[crazyceezy]

Strange how this video doesn't have a lot of views, well played!

[lonlonjp]

@crazyceezy haha^^

Thanks very much for your kind word.

Actually i do love this song so much that i uploaded this video on my i-Pod and watch it almost everyday xD

[TheSachie3000]

truly amazing. love it! ^^

[cookiieezz]

Your covers of these songs are just amazing, they truley are. As a fellow guitarist, i have to say it is very inspiring to me to hear how well you have arranged these fantastic songs! Keep up the covers, ill definately be learning your arrangments!

[ReloadRewind]

Ahhh this brings me many fond memories. Beautifully played. Thank you.

[rockmaster987]

you skillz are amazing!! llol

when im looking at the lake thingie vid and hearing your song at the same time, its like relaxing and then a monster pops out and goes "bLaHH!" or "AHHHH!!"" lol!.. really liked this though..

[megahozer13]

how come no final fantasy tactics the music is soo beautiful

[Valkeryie666]

I love Rikku's theme so much, its just so cheerful, and this cover just upped its awesomeness

[NellaRose]

Aw this sounds so nice! I always adored Rikku's theme the most, to be honest :3 Lovely arrangement! <3

[nathan777123]

Love the sound of your classical guitar and the way you play its absolutely stunning ^.^ makes me so happy listening to it

[sumeragi9090]

the image on the right top of the video seems like the place where tidus find rikku in FFX!!=)=)

[noutathewolf]

[sirvaan]

wow really love all your videos inspring! Could you cover final fantasy XI Airship theme that's the only request I'll ever ask for. It sounds like 2 guitars you might get away with one though your so good.

[Tanimoto31]

Very Goood !! =D

[kragle2008]

such a lovely version of this song :-) thank you lonlonjp!

have you ever thought of doing the silent hill song called - Tears of... ?

[HawkyStudios]

This song always reminds me of the Costa del Sol!

[lonlonjp]

^o^

[OneWingedKarlsberg]

I was just sat listening to and thought the exact same thing xD how odd

[lonlonjp]

haha... xD

i would like to sat there as well and enjoy listening to someone's guitar with a glass of wine =D

[ApelAndy]

Listened to the entire song, so calming, always makes me think of my dream, of being in a place like that with not a worry in the world,

ahh

[kungfujellybean]

You really nail these songs. I've seen other covers with 200,000 plus views that can't touch this. Keep on man! You're great!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your kind encouragement ^o^

[ApelAndy]

You hit the point so well!

[cHiKaDiNg58]

Beautiful! I say the piece is really suited for the guitar! It give me the "I'm at the beach relaxing.." =D Well done!

[lonlonjp]

haha.. i would like to go there as well... and play the guitar for you and your friend xD

[murasuX]

[lonlonjp]

Think you can perform FF6 Gau's theme? It is a beautiful but sad theme.

[glorst]

Thanks so much for arranging Rikku's theme! Its one of my absolute favorites, and you played it beautifully. ^^

[cloudstrifezackfair]

Great cover once again lonlonjp. May I make a couple of request from you. I would love to hear you cover a couple of songs from the anime Fruits Basket. The names of the songs are

1. For Fruits Basket (opening theme)

2. Memory for you

These two songs are from the anime Fruits Basket.

[vagnurt]

[kirbster]

[moongleams]

Lon your guitar skills are to the max, keep it up. :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your encouragement, moongleams, my friend =)

[CheonHoPark]

Really cool video effects, lonlon, and of course great playing. For some reason I could have swore you played this before, but you have such a variety track list, I might have lost count.

Keep up the good work dude!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks very much indeed for your watching and posting a comment on this video, CheonHoPark, a great pianist on YouTube.

With respect

lon

[AppleofDarkness]

[lonlonjp]

Thanks shinrapower, my friend ^o^

[Khelric]

You're clearly one of the most talented performers on youtube today. Thank you so much for the excellent contributions and I hope you'll continue to share your gift with us.

[swankycat]

I love rikku's theme so much anyway, and the use of the guitar has made me love it even more! This reminds me of animal crossing somewhat... :3 nice video

[Hotfudgebananahannah]

Aww this totally makes my day! I remember I requested it a while back (with many others I am sure) and now you have it! Simply amazing job :) Five stars as usual :)

[50ulHunt3r]

[traveller89]

great playing, great music, + great views?!

that's super-awesome!!

arigato gozaimasu lonlonjp-sama!!!!

[tayrobinson123]

I was wondering when I was going to hear this song! I miss it so much...Not to be a bug but I was wondering about the song Lightwaves from final fantasy X-2...it would be cool if you played that! :)

[MizukiYumeko]

Excellent! Absolutely amazing!

I love hearing your version of the songs because you can hear the song in the song (..if that made any sense).

As for the next video, isn't there still FF 10-2?

I agree with 'Dagamex', if you did Eternity Memory of Lightwaves it would be absolutely amazing!!

I guess you could also do the battle theme, since you were doing those in the first place.

Whichever song you arrange, I'm looking forward to it!

Ganbatte!

~Mizuki Yumeko

[cr1tterp0wer]

you should start another channel up, and teach how to play some of these magnificent songs. :)

[Kakashit666]

As you said in the description, you may arrange a song from FFXI. i'm thinking of one of the battle song that you actualy here in battle ^^ And once again, good job Lon. Thank's for uploading us your work =) Shirudo

[ManjiVegeta]

Yay Rikku's theme! One of my favorite songs from Final Fantasy.

[ManjiVegeta]

Awesome playing btw ^w^! thank you!

[921144666]

Good stuff...keep up the good work! :-)

[Dagamax]

I would love to hear final fantasy x-2 eternity memory of lightwaves or 1000 words.please!

Amazing as I've come to expect now hehe ^.^

[SeribialX]

[ThePredster]

That was so relaxing and a comfortable to hear. Wish there wasn't a flash flood alert where Im at. =(

[Tyndan]

This song is super chill, just what I needed.

[ThePredster]

[Tyndan]

Yup, I was forced home early form work because of the craziness out there.

[ThePredster]

Thank you. Yes balamb garden is a very pleasant tune. How about Kefka theme from ffVI?

One of the best bosses in the FF history.
