I hope you guys enjoy the video! I will be scouting for vocalists soon for originals! Update video coming....at some point! *P.S* To those who thought it would be a cover of the BNHA 3rd opening....I've been highly considering it. Guess we'll see what happens! (I also wanted to cover the Stein's Gate opening but I don't think that would do well here. We'll see).
I told HeartfeltHumor that you might be a candidate for an original with her (she does acoustic with original vocals). She usually does originals about fandom and anime tropes, but it's worth a shot. Check out "Glitter and Swirls" for what I think is her best so far. Also...need a bassist?
Goddamn man, while listening to this I finished a bowl of ramen, chased my traitor friend Rosuke to the ends of the earth, and saved the hidden tree village from a guy called “Slight Discomfort” 4 times
You call that badass i killed a whole entire village of wizards with 5 hours to spare to save 15 woman from a plant that is a perv. And had ramen with the girls and made on my gf ;)
I love this and hate this at the same time. It just sounds so amazing but now I feel like all anime intros have such a signature sound that anyone can just make an anime theme on the fly.
There's nothing wrong with having well-established tropes. For one thing, they sound good anyway. For another, this means we have a clear place to start if we want to get creative with anime music - we can try changing a couple things and seeing if we like it better.
Season 1 OP 1: We Will All Be Stars! Season 1 OP 2: Second Chance Season 1 ED: Feelin' Fine Season 2 OP: Fever Dream Season 3 OP: Showtime! @Shady Cicada Is this accurate?
Shady Cicada Yeah, I guess you're right. But in a timeline setting, it's like Second Chance is when the protagonist fails the first time and Fever Dream is when he starts to desperately fight and struggle against all odds. And it isn't a happy arc. Hence, fever dream. x3
With you teaching us how to make songs the series could be called My Shady Academia, and this would be season 3 the timing is perfect! You're also a very manly man so it could be called Cicada's Shady Adventure EDGEdust Crusade. Also Wall-chan best waifu, must protecc. EDIT: Also was that Hacking to the Gate at the beginning? I love you. What was the song you played before "Showtime!"?
That entire paragraph gave me both a smile and an aneurysm. 10/10. It was Hacking to the Gate! Steins;Gate is one of my favorite animes. Still gotta check out 0. The song before Showtime was a part from the new MHA opening!
It's funny. Right before I uploaded it, I thought the same thing as well. It wasn't even an influence, but I'm glad the melody can be compared to such a great song. Thanks a lot, bud!
Best theory ever. I call anime songs “the japanese note” because i always hear one note in every anime I watch. It’s a sub-dominant and the sixth. Always.
Cicada, I keep listening to this, and it sounds like it'd some Boku no Hero Academia background music. You gotta get your music in an action anime my dude
This theme nails the turnabout after a tragic season 2 finale. Shit always goes down in season 3! (which hopefully isn’t the quality of the show itself)
This is my favorite season. Season 1 was classic but skipped too much of the manga; season 2 was awkward because the anime outpaced the manga halfway through. This season was where the show writers got to take the lead. It also didn't hurt that they fired that shitty studio they were using for in-betweening and did it all in-house instead. How much do you want to bet that the expense means season 4 gets canceled?
Cicada-sama no densetsu season 3 confirmed?!!! Awesome!!!! And no, even tho then mad skilss are great, the manga of Cicada-sama no densetsu is still way better!!
Really accurate, that intro sounds like it's an Opening of JUMP anime. But then Goosebumps with that key change, it's sounds like Triumph and really like another Season of really wonderful anime.
Wow... That was BEAUTIFUL! (especially the allmighty harmony... ^^) And I completely forgot, that key changes are also some of the kinda "allmighty" things :D So do DEM ALLMIGHTY KEY CHANGES more often, I completely love it! I'm also very impressed by your creativity and imagination, as every time... You somehow always have some great ideas (for musical purposes mostly) in your mind, which is really amazing... And for me, I decided that I clearly need a new guitar, cause I really got the feeling, that I'm limited due to my current guitar. Its out of tune all the time, I can't even do more then two or three (massive) bends, and its completely out of tune again... The tremolo isn't that great too... (What would you expect for 180€? ^^) But I'll keep you up to date. There is a chance for me, to get my absolute dream guitar in used condition for a great price, but thats not sure yet... If this would happen, I'd get a real gem... (Actually a good pun... maybe you can guess what it is, out of this... ^^)
Shady Cicada I did it on monday! Well, DHL says, it'll come in the next two hours; watching your vids to get the waiting time filled and get myself a *little* hyped...^^ Edit: I just had a little idea: You had onr point, where the TV-version would end... How about plaiyng this theme later, when the season is over, in the credits, but then in full length? It has this cool effect, where you know this whole already by memory, but it sounds new at certain parts, so you have to watch the whole credits... The other effect would be that you feel completely empty inside when this whole thing is over... XD
We're all going to be stars in season 3? Nice throwback! I kinda feel like while the singer is singing on the octave you're playing at, the guitar is going to go up the octave because anime openings I guess
You are amazing Shady, I know that things get worse sometimes but with this talent and love to music you have you can to te greates music that everyone can imagine
It'd be about a man that finds a cicada shell, but the bug was cursed, so when he touches it, he becomes half cicada, and since it was cursed, he has to find a way to turn back to normal before he becomes a permanent cicada. EDIT: Kinda lame but it'd be interesting
I can tell you've really studied music for a long time judging by how accurate all your "how to make a ______ in 5 minutes or less" songs sound! Keep rockin', Shady!
Le Borgne What annoys me most about that opening is that the very beginning sounds alright and the last 15 seconds are really cool, but the middle is pretty lackluster. It's a shame because this part of the series is easily the best.
Dude, the first minute and a half of the song sounds a lot like You Say Run from BNHA, I also get a lot of Xenoblade vibes from this. Awesome job as always !
Me and a couple of friends are trying to work on an anime style series and I'm writing the soundtrack, this is a really great breakdown of how to approach stuff like this.
I hope you guys enjoy the video! I will be scouting for vocalists soon for originals! Update video coming....at some point!

Shady Cicada that ending gave me heavy silent hill 2 soundtrack vibes! Should do a how to make a silent hill ost vid lol
yoooo, YOOOOOO, THIS IS GONNA BE HYPE
Vocals? Awesome!
Honestly I'd love to hear you sing too!
I told HeartfeltHumor that you might be a candidate for an original with her (she does acoustic with original vocals). She usually does originals about fandom and anime tropes, but it's worth a shot. Check out "Glitter and Swirls" for what I think is her best so far.
Also...need a bassist?
Vocalists?.........*clears throat* I'd like to at least give it a shot maybe.
"Make them forget the manga with those skills" 😂👌
Haha 👌
Lol that was funny reading I love it👌
665th like, NOBODY LIKE THIS.
😂😂😂
Goddamn man, while listening to this I finished a bowl of ramen, chased my traitor friend Rosuke to the ends of the earth, and saved the hidden tree village from a guy called “Slight Discomfort” 4 times
For the fifth time, he just evolves into "Displeasure".
"My discomfort is more intense than yours!"
Cue to Loony Toons-esque shenanigans.
You call that badass i killed a whole entire village of wizards with 5 hours to spare to save 15 woman from a plant that is a perv. And had ramen with the girls and made on my gf ;)

Which is good now that anyone can make they're own epic intro the anime they have called life and make an outro to the end of it
SonicPAJ things that seem easy enough for anyone to make on the Fly usually aren't as easy as they seem for just anyone to actually do it
No worries. Not every anime but rather most and upbeat songs are like this for non anime as well. It's just more likely used in many anime.
That's pretty much how every genre and style works.
Dude you need to be a composer for some anime or game or something
he has stated that he’s had an idea for a video game floating around in his head for a while
so stick around for that i guess
shaun03a A fellow homestuck I see.
You'd think this would get cheesy after a while but each one of these just get better and better
why is this not your job. you're obviously very good at it.
He's making money from it, so technically he's a professional songwriter/artist. :p
Thank you for your kind words :) As the community grows, it gets closer and closer to becoming a fully fledged job. Maybe one day!
really not uni he makes money from RUclips
Zephyr Nepres yeah
Season 1 OP 1: We Will All Be Stars!
Season 1 OP 2: Second Chance
Season 1 ED: Feelin' Fine
Season 2 OP: Fever Dream
Season 3 OP: Showtime!
@Shady Cicada Is this accurate?
Pretty much! I'm not really sure where to put "Second Chance". I moved it so Season 2 ED, but it definitely has more of an OP vibe. Still in the air.
Shady Cicada Yeah, I guess you're right. But in a timeline setting, it's like Second Chance is when the protagonist fails the first time and Fever Dream is when he starts to desperately fight and struggle against all odds. And it isn't a happy arc. Hence, fever dream. x3
Clara J Right-o. Means exactly what you guessed.
OP= Opening
ED= Ending
When you realize Shady is more capable of creating a well executed "edge of your seat" cliffhanger than those big name directors we see on tv.
You're too kind :'D Thank you for the kind words!
Shady Cicada don't mention it bud! ♡
The TV version would end here, but let's keep going.
HNNNNGH TRUE
That key change in there, man! :'D Fantastic work as usual!!
Thanks a lot, Gab :'D I'm glad you enjoyed it!
yeah, it's totally anime bro
Not gonna lie I kinda wanna add lyrics to this XD
I know right, lol.
Yea
SleepyWolf well I AM learning Japanese so I'll make the lyrics in English, then translate the lyrics to Japanese so I can make both versions
Nicky0702, this is a really good idea, men
Daragon boullll supaa!
OMFG this is Art xD
Ahhh it’s you I love your videos👍🏾

EDIT: Also was that Hacking to the Gate at the beginning? I love you. What was the song you played before "Showtime!"?
Or maybe _My Guitar Academia_
*Cicadamia
That entire paragraph gave me both a smile and an aneurysm. 10/10. It was Hacking to the Gate! Steins;Gate is one of my favorite animes. Still gotta check out 0. The song before Showtime was a part from the new MHA opening!
Shady's Bizarre Adventure: Cicada Is Unbreakable
Dabi omg
That chorus melody is very reminiscent of Fly Me to the Moon, and that’s super cool! Great song as always Shady!
Finally! I knew the melody reminded me of something, THANK YOU!
It's funny. Right before I uploaded it, I thought the same thing as well. It wasn't even an influence, but I'm glad the melody can be compared to such a great song. Thanks a lot, bud!
I KNEW it sounded familiar!! Wow that's amazing!
bruh don't even think we didn't hear that steins gate tune at the start
Dude you sly dog adding in We're all gonna be stars secretly
Yeah man i heard it too, i was like, omg of course theres gotta be a little callback to an earlier opening
Pingas when
Akhtar Zamil Sirajudeen 3:19
I flipped shit when I heard that
When Shady Cicada defeated his evil Shady alter personality but realises he didn't have to and was manipulated all along.
I just like how he speaks guitarish
All it needs is some lyrics then boom, perfection 👌
I will be looking for vocalists/lyric writers soon, so there is a possibility of this happening!
I can practically see the whole anime opening playing in my head while listening to this. Awesome job!
Was that Hacking Through The Gate I heard! I just got over the feels XD
I recently got over them too :'D
Came for the title. Stayed because of the goddamn GOOD SONG
PLEASE for the love of God make an Anime with these songs as intros
I'm making one. The problem that i don't have tge rights for shady's music.
@@pleasekillme1721 haha nice one. Funny joke
Or just hire him to make the intros in stuff like One Piece
I see anime how-to's, I press like.
4evaism weeaboo much?
Aye
4evaism ?
I love the text narration. Spot on. And the music? Ah it's glorious
That song was sooooo amazing!!!
Love this style man. And I quite like the teases of previous riffs throughout the new songs. Keep it up
Glad you enjoyed it, bud! I will definitely keep it up!
Best theory ever. I call anime songs “the japanese note” because i always hear one note in every anime I watch. It’s a sub-dominant and the sixth. Always.
3:45 I can't believe that Shady Cicada summoned his Persona to help him rock so hard...
I love that trowback /reference to the original op
Cicada, I keep listening to this, and it sounds like it'd some Boku no Hero Academia background music. You gotta get your music in an action anime my dude
oh man that bit of "we're all gonna be stars" was a nice part to throw in.
Action is coming.
Season 4 hype.
Loved the steins gate at the start!
This theme nails the turnabout after a tragic season 2 finale. Shit always goes down in season 3! (which hopefully isn’t the quality of the show itself)
I like the bits of rhythm added in as a throwback to the first Jrock/anime opening song you made
This is my favorite season. Season 1 was classic but skipped too much of the manga; season 2 was awkward because the anime outpaced the manga halfway through. This season was where the show writers got to take the lead. It also didn't hurt that they fired that shitty studio they were using for in-betweening and did it all in-house instead. How much do you want to bet that the expense means season 4 gets canceled?
I love the subtle throwbacks to the first season 1 opening you wrote in this series.
Cicada-sama no densetsu season 3 confirmed?!!! Awesome!!!! And no, even tho then mad skilss are great, the manga of Cicada-sama no densetsu is still way better!!
This is so good and hilarious! (The captions) Keep up the awesome work!!!!!
3:20 OH NO HE DIDN'T!
Honestly hope you compose an anime ost someday, Shady.
That would be a dream come true. Maybe one day!
Throwback to season one got me good
For some reason i get vibes from K-ON's don't say lazy if im not the only ond that knew.
Yeah the bass and power chords sounded so alike and I also got reminded of a vocaloid song but I forgot which one
that lil callback to season 1's opening theme at 3:21 made me hella emotional tbh LOL
Damn that's AWESOME!!! Totally an opening which i'd LOVE to hear in an anime!!
Why is this actually wayy better than a few anime intros 😂😂 I love ittt
I just realized that little beginning but you did was the Steins;Gate opening
This makes me want to run to some unspecified destination with my nakama while the camera pans around us
It's Weebin' time!!
I really loved the static/grain/glitch/whatever you did at the end! It sounds just like an old-time radio show!
3:20 I saw what you did there, great season 1 tease
Really accurate, that intro sounds like it's an Opening of JUMP anime. But then Goosebumps with that key change, it's sounds like Triumph and really like another Season of really wonderful anime.
1:43
soupe2000 literally tells you in the description
KaiserAnimations Just to click faster, thanks anyway
I don't care if you consider me a illeterate in music, the intro turned out to be really cool regardless and I enjoyed it tremendously.
Wow... That was BEAUTIFUL! (especially the allmighty harmony... ^^)

Thanks for the kind words, man :) A new guitar can definitely get more motivation/inspiration rolling! Best of luck with grabbing it, bud!

The way he explained the emotion he wanted to portray and how it would sound exactly like what he described made me feel like a simple-minded drone.
Did seriously nobody hear he was playin steins;gate hacking into the gate at the start
Plan B was looking for this comment
I HEARD IT
I know that song anywhere.
Cody Eittreim YES!
Ooh, I noticed it!
We're all going to be stars in season 3? Nice throwback! I kinda feel like while the singer is singing on the octave you're playing at, the guitar is going to go up the octave because anime openings I guess
This belongs in a Full Metal Alchemist reboot
03:20 (We're All Gonna Be Stars) little feels ^____^ brings me back the memories xD
That ending tho
This is one of the best songs of one of the best channel I heard. People, Shady deserve better
That's very kind of you to say :) Thanks a lot, bud! I'll keep doing my best and we'll see where things go!
You are amazing Shady, I know that things get worse sometimes but with this talent and love to music you have you can to te greates music that everyone can imagine
Can you cover the Xenoblade Chronicles X continents?
i like your explanation with every cliche scene in most anime shounen op lol. considered you now have a new subscriber xD
2:25 show the flashbacks
I haven’t laughed out loud at a video for awhile and you weren’t even talking! So hilarious, I am now subscribed. You have mad skills!
You should have your own anime XDDD
It'd be about a man that finds a cicada shell, but the bug was cursed, so when he touches it, he becomes half cicada, and since it was cursed, he has to find a way to turn back to normal before he becomes a permanent cicada. EDIT: Kinda lame but it'd be interesting
I can tell you've really studied music for a long time judging by how accurate all your "how to make a ______ in 5 minutes or less" songs sound! Keep rockin', Shady!
Me loves Guitar.
Me loves Anime.
Me loves this.
Damn that guitar tone is great in this one!
i thought you're going to cover hacking to the gate lol
So catchy, I can't get the melody out of my head!!!
Can someone get Shady a green screen so he can make anime intro songs.. with anime into visuals?
First 5 seconds and he's playing the opening for my fav anime. This is one reason why I love shady cicada. XD
When you realize that this song is far more better than the actual opening of BNHA third season.
Le Borgne What annoys me most about that opening is that the very beginning sounds alright and the last 15 seconds are really cool, but the middle is pretty lackluster. It's a shame because this part of the series is easily the best.
At least we can hope in a better opening in the second part of the season
Can someone make and edit BNHA opening With this opening?
Oh, thank god. Thought I was the only one who didn't like that opening song.
I find it pretty original and I like it.
This is such a bop?? It's fantastic wtf I's so jealous of your music skills
awesome man
Those camera moves are cool ! I really like it, makes the thing more dynamic !
Glad you enjoyed the effect! I thought it'd be nice to implement it with the more intense tracks
Andy you were right ;)
I'm dying to know the lyrics hahahaha
dude you are absolutelyawesome !!! and finally you showed some love to bass !!!, also we need at least 1 jrock/jmetal/anime song per month !!!
Dude, the first minute and a half of the song sounds a lot like You Say Run from BNHA, I also get a lot of Xenoblade vibes from this.
Awesome job as always !
I love how every anime opening ever is basically the same formula, over and over, but the songs are so good that it doesn’t even matter
This was that HEAT. Subbed!!
Im always replaying this, its just too good
1:34 Sneaky Odd Future xD I like it!
You're too epic to be real. Like seriously, every song you upload is incredible
Yo as soon as the video started I was like “this man has good taste in anime”
Me and a couple of friends are trying to work on an anime style series and I'm writing the soundtrack, this is a really great breakdown of how to approach stuff like this.
The captions make your videos so much better :') Keep doing you man! Always a good time watching your videos
This is AWESOME! You rock bro 🤘🏻
this should be certified in one anime
Your vid still brings me so much frick'n joy years later -, it's my go-to anti depression playlist opener. Thanks for this
This man deserves waaaaaay more subs!
I'm amazed. I mean I knew that anime songs are pretty tropey but damn! This was catchy as hell and it's still stuck in my head.
That was amazing
And the subtitles are priceless.
Great Work
This gave me chills. Thank Kami~sama I found your channel when I did.
You come up with the best melodies dude
Thanks a lot, man. It means a lot to know that after all of this time, people can still enjoy the new melodies I'm putting it out!
This is actually such a good video (and song of course.)
stumbled upon this and this is exactly what i've been looking for to figure out how to finish alot of riffs i've came up with.
i pointed it out before but i get intense xenoblade chronicles 2 vibes from your anime songs and jrpg vids its crazy... I LOVE IT!
I'm glad! Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is one of my favorite games/soundtracks of all time. To be compared to the series is quite the honor :)
