    Great analysis! Though I think the piece starts out in C minor, the closing section is just a return to the beginning section. There's a repeated Eb under the repeated G in the opening piano part, and the bass part that comes in is outlining a C minor chord.
    I was actually just transcribing this and didn't catch the G (all I heard was the Eb and the moving line above it) so I'm glad I saw this, heh.

      Thanks for pointing that out! My transcription skills are admittedly...not the best (shudders at memory of my ear training classes). Glad I could be of some help! :)

    • @korisnthere
      @korisnthere  4 года назад +19

      I was unaware that that was the consensus (tbh, up till now I hadn't heard the full version). Don't think that would be enough for a full video, I like the full song, though I can understand the take because the OP cut has a very nice conclusive resolution, so the full version feels like a somewhat artificial extension (a common issue with songs made with the primary intention of being anime OPs)

    • @CaptainCFalcon
      @CaptainCFalcon 4 года назад +12

      I think it's just because the best part takes longer to get to in the Full version. The music that plays when they start dancing is much later. Nothing of much importance fills the new gap.
      Summed up: The full version literally puts in Musical Filler.

    I'm pretty sure this is wrote in C minor with modulations to the relative major and back to the home key.
    I'm glad someone appreciates the theory behind the music as well as the music itself (I analysed this one to hell and back when I first heard it) I just couldn't help but be so captivated by it.
    As soon as I heard what you said in the short answer I just thought to myself, finally someone who knows what they're talking about rather than just looking at it, at its face value. Awesome video.

      Thanks man! I'm 20 (almost 21, actually). I did go to college for 2 years under a music performance degree (Viola), but ended up dropping out after I realized I was more interested in creation and composition than playing music written by other people. Still try to use the theory knowledge I gained from it whenever I can, though.

    I noticed how the opening sounds different to the full song. The moment the scene transitions from Legoshi and Haru finishing their dance to Legoshi looking traumatized has a sound that feels ominous. I think they left out some of the drums for the Anime version.

    Of course, a huge part of what makes this OP one of my all time favorites is the excellent music that I want to jam to and is jazzy as hell (but a mix of genres, which is also 😩), but I'm also a total sucker for stop motion animation and dance. It basically has everything I adore. Just... Guh! So good! Netflix trying to skip this intro every time offended me. Lmao 😂

    This was terrific! A lot went over my head, but this was still fascinating to listen to. Even though I have almost no music theory knowledge, part of me also wonders if there's some connection between the musical styles and the show's themes: the "big band" sound sort of hearkens back to film noir, which I see as in line with the show's murder-mystery storyline (those syncopated measures sound very familiar too--sort of like "Don't Rain On My Parade"--is there a musical allusion to another song being made there?), while the rap is evocative of Beastar's contemporary setting. And the swing interlude toward the end, to me, feels emblematic of romance in a way--a dance that requires a partner. Maybe another layer, I don't know. And that's called jazz!
