To me the craziest thing about this ensemble is that there isn't anything close to a drummer. There isn't anyone just keeping a beat. Everyone is contributing to the harmony AND the rhythm at the same time.
TrueRomancer04 that's because the shamisen (the guitar-like instrument) is sort of both a percussion and stringed instrument (acc. to another vid of nhk blends, the "change the world" video on the shamisen)
Huh? There is most certainly a 4/4 meter kept and all the musicians are clearly following the tempo. What's at hand here is no different than say a wind octet in the Western world.
Payton Jones YES Been ignoring Fire Emblem until Awakening (what a sinner I was) now I'm sorta enthusiast fan (because I'm not good at it, BUT I LOVE IT) everything from the screenplay, character development, art direction, music, gameplay, difficulty, etc is amazing！ It's amazing to find out that Awakening was thought to be the last entry Can't wait for Fates！！
Translation: It's hard to imagine people in kimonos playing video game music with Japanese instruments. This would've been a mismatch if it wasn't a new type of performance. Not to mention video games, a performance like this is very interesting to me, even if the games aren't.
The transition from LoZ to SMB at 6:47 is very clever. The guy plays the recorder melody from the original LoZ, which is also the same flute melody from SMB3
I love to see this kind of thing. It's not about the supposed novelty of VGM people played live; it's about great arrangements and wonderful performances. Excellent!
Music make is wonderful vibration I don't know very much how to play but UK de Music o tanoshin de imasu One day I can play my on words and melody Arigatou gozaimashita
This is so incredible! I would love to hear them cover music from Breath of Fire, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Ganbare Goemon! "Super FAMIKOTO" hahaha!
Ghaaaaaaaaa!!! When they started playing the Mario theme I almost cried wow that was so nice to the ears. especially the zelda one aaahhh. Dont ever change japan. Dont ever stop flinging the feels to my kokoro. im such a weeb
Konnichiwa! I don't speak Japanese only English, but I would like to tell you I'm a big fan of Nintendo, Japanim and traditional Japanese culture so thanks Kimiko for your amazing job.
That's not really to strange. If you have not played Fire Emblem you would not know it's songs. I have wanted to play Fire emblem but can't get my hands on a European version of the game.
Ash Ketchum If you think all of it but Zelda is crap than you're giving all us Zelda fans a bad name. All of this is beautiful, You don't have to like it all, but most certainly isn't crap.
Ash Ketchum You realise it was Zelda all the way up to Mario right? There was nothing in between Zelda and Mario. So some of the stuff you called crap was from Zelda. Did I just blow your mind?

Omg Fire Emblem right of the bat, Usually it's always Mario/Zelda etc but Fire Emblem is my all-time fav, thanks for making this FAMIKOTO! :D
I'm happy to see a Fire Emblem opening too! The series has really gone far, lately, huh?
Payton Jones YES

すげ～しか出てこない。凄すぎる。
このヴィデオ、とても面白かったです！特に琴と三味線を弾いている方、本当に尊敬しています。
和服を着て教会で和楽器でゲーム音楽を演奏するなんて、誰も想像つきませんよね。
本来総てがミスマッチのはずなのに、新しいタイプの演奏ですね。
ゲーム音楽はおろか、ゲーム自体興味がありませんが、こういう演奏には大変興味があります。

@@nintendogurkan9055 playing video game music "in the church" with Japanese instruments
教会は音響が良いですからね。
西洋音楽は教会と共に発展したと考えると、これほど演奏に適した場所は中々ない。
日本は何せ風土が風土ですからね……外部と遮断して固有の空間を作ろうって方向性は真逆と言って良い(笑)
勿論何が演奏に適するのか、何が醍醐味かどうかも音楽文化によりけりでしょうけど……音楽の選曲も含めて和洋折衷で面白いですよね（ゲーム自体は日本のですけど、音楽は西洋の理論の上なので）。
理屈はあれど、思いつくかどうかは別なのでやっぱり凄いと思います(笑)
ディスク起動音が入ってる！
本当に綺麗な音ですね。日本の伝統楽器は耳に快いです♡
so happy to hear fire emblem in a nintendo medley :D
Incredible rendition of classic Nintendo music.
The transition from LoZ to SMB at 6:47 is very clever. The guy plays the recorder melody from the original LoZ, which is also the same flute melody from SMB3
MonkeySmist I saw that too
Isn’t that a shakuhachi?
@@mugikai2800 Yes, it is.
I love to see this kind of thing. It's not about the supposed novelty of VGM people played live; it's about great arrangements and wonderful performances. Excellent!
tears of joy stream down my face as i'm left in awe, unable to come up with words as to how amazing & beautiful this sounds
So beautiful to have the three traditional Japanese instruments playing this amazing rendition of classic video game theme songs.
Really cool to start off with Fire Emblem! A nice change from many other medleys of Nintendo music!
4:46 best part. the song after is pretty awesome!!!!
It's nice to hear the Fire Emblem Theme first :D
That Fire Emblem ..

私は琴を聞いたことがいっぱいありますが、こんな使い方は初めて聞きました。ゲーマーとしてこれはもうすごすぎます！ありがとうございます！
This is still the most heavenly thing I've ever heard.
4:39 Nostalgia is over 9000!!!
very pleasing to hear this, i have a feeling almost all nintendo musics was meant to be this way
This is Freaking Amazing!!! I Love it!!!
The one wearing purple is beautiful!
wow this is lovely! when they started playing the LoZ theme i got this image in my head of Link traveling across the mountains of Japan :D
Nice! Fire Emblem is the first song
This is just beautiful
beautiful
鳥肌立ちました！！
とてもカッコ良いです！
Really like the Fire Emblem and Legend of Zelda parts! 10/10!
This is so incredible! I would love to hear them cover music from Breath of Fire, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Ganbare Goemon! "Super FAMIKOTO" hahaha!
Ghaaaaaaaaa!!! When they started playing the Mario theme I almost cried wow that was so nice to the ears. especially the zelda one aaahhh. Dont ever change japan. Dont ever stop flinging the feels to my kokoro. im such a weeb
Damian Marcus Migueloz Well... at least you know you got a problem.
I don't think he has a problem, it's perfectly acceptable for music to make you cry, especially if it is beautiful and of a nostalgic theme.
+Pit Kid Icarus you, my angel have no soul
Gabry the Awesome I'm talking about him knowing he's a weeb.
Sorry Pit Kid Icarus i didn't know
I love how they included both Fire Emblem and Zelda because they are my favorite two franchises of Nintendo.
初めて聴きましたが、鳥肌になりました。素晴らしい。
How have I only come across this now?! Love it thank you!
This video is incredible
This was simply amazing! Greetings from a fellow musician/singer.
Subarashi arigatou
I love these instruments and this just makes my heart jump for joy! Thank you!
ディスク起動音から第1弾ソフトのゼルダになるのが良いですね、カッコいい！
あとマリオはどんな楽器だろうとポップになるのが面白すぎる。スゴい
テレッテ！テレッテ・ッテ！！(笑)
Great performance, congratulations! I got the shivers!
涙がでました。すごい懐かしさと楽器のすばらしさと!
和風アレンジも素晴らしいですね！
Gracias
......so this needs to open the Tokyo 2022 Games.
or at least play 10:08 when the olympic flame is lit
That would be epic.
lovely!
Great to listen! Congrats for this great work!
Very lovely arrangements and love the presentation, you all have great class!
ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНОЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ!!

Truly amazing, great job! ^^
4:39 music to my ears
❤
即プレイリスト入りでした。このアレンジ、すごく好きです！！！うpありがとうございます！
I Loved it
This makes me want a Fire Emblem game with a Japanese warring states / fantasy theme instead of a European medieval / fantasy one.
Looking back at this comment, it's interesting what they did with the latest games.
i think this person predicted the future. they made Birthright/Conquest in around the year that this comment was posted.
well done my friend.
非常に素晴らしい
Beautiful!
4:29 Famicom Start-up theme, first one that I knew where it was from.
Then it immediately gets into songs I can pinpoint immediately after they start playing.
全部素晴らしかったけど特にゼルダの伝説が最高でした！
和楽器の音色はとても美しいですね
I'm grateful I managed to find this
It was so calm and I loved the underwater theme from Mario!
ポリアンナからここに迷い込むとは思わなかった。ファイヤーエムブレムのメインテーマは、ゲームミュージックの中でも特に好きな曲。こんな素敵なアレンジを聞けて嬉しかった。…危なくなったらスタコラ逃げます。
Man if church was like that back in the states I wouldn't mind going
OH...THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!
とても心が落ち着きますね！ゲームオタクならではの落ち着きぐわいですかね！
ディスクシステム起動音⁉︎ 懐かし‼︎ 30年位聞いてないのにすぐ思い出しました。^_^
Beautiful
This is beautiful. Thank you.
WOW!!! BEAUTIFUL!
Such beautiful, much amazing
The tingles are here
Awesome すげええええ！
I love it and it also puts me to sleep
Beautiful
I love Japan so much.
素晴らしい！
Oh my god..The Fire Emblem theme at the beginning made my day...
Oh my god this is so beautiful ❤❤
This was so beautiful, i'm in love :D
教会だろうが神社だろうが、これはこれでイイ演奏じゃなかろうか!?
和楽器とゲーム音楽のコラボ、今後も期待してまっせ!!
すごいですね！お筝を習っているゲームオタクとして楽しかった(^^)

Wow... You are Fantastic!
お正月にこれやってほしいな
So good.
Love love LOVE!!!! It!
My stupid american brain had to wait until 4:39 before it started to recognize songs
0:44 did it for me!
That's not really to strange. If you have not played Fire Emblem you would not know it's songs. I have wanted to play Fire emblem but can't get my hands on a European version of the game.
***** Last one i owned was for the N64

I would want to go to this location... ^_^
Beautiful repertories of game music. Greetings from Peru.
This was fantastic!
Thank You for this.
beatiful
Gotta appreciate the other instruments in the world :)
As a Nintendo fan and a fan of Indian instruments,
nice to see this sort of blend of two worlds
It was amazing, thanks !
It’s great for the Fire Emblem theme alone
