Bleach: Never Meant to Belong (Sad Violin Solo)

- UPDATE 4/3/2020: New violin-only high quality video here: • Solo Violin: Bleach Ne...
Bleach is one of my first anime series that I've watched through all episodes, including fillers. I felt particularly emotional when Kuchiki Rukia was saved by Kurosaki Ichigo from execution, ESPECIALLY when Ichigo takes on the Sokyoku in the form of a blazingly awesome firebird!
The music in Bleach is quite fascinating to me as an anime violinist. I especially love the jazzy undertones of Hueco Mundo on cello, as well as the chime-like, chilling downward chords in the saddest parts of each episode, like stars' tears floating slowly down upon a darkened world.
I liken my violin bow to Ichigo's zanpakuto (soul sword) in that it's very thin but can strike the most powerful of chords! Senna resonates strongly with me and I feel like it brings out the inner BEN-KAI (my personal "bankai").
This particular piece, Never Meant to Belong, has a special place in my heart. On this morning I was feeling particularly sad and depressed. I remember it quite clearly, actually. It was a Sunday morning and I was getting ready for church, but I was really feeling down. I felt isolated from the rest of the world, and kind of rightly so - I was already 3 years out of college and living in a 1000-sq. ft. apartment by myself away from campus. It got really lonely sometimes. So I decided to look up a sad song to play and I came across this one, which I instantly recognized from all the many Bleach episode I had watched. I went to my keyboard and plunked out the accompaniment, recording it in one take, then grabbed my camera and violin and produced this video, also in one take. It was very heartfelt and I have a hard time reproducing the same depth of emotion that we hear in this version. I'm really glad that I was able to capture it on camera and share it with everyone, especially my wife and 4 children (2018). It's now a permanent part of my legacy!
If you like this music, please SHARE it with others! I hope to bring peace and hope to those who've felt similarly as I did - life does get better, and in the case of Bleach, we see that Ichigo does emerge victorious in the end! (Well, the "end", when we were so rudely cut off with so many unresolved plotlines!)

Time flies doesn't it?
Where ever you are I hope you are happier than yesterday. I hope you surround yourself with people that love you. I hope you are kind to yourself. You belong
I love this.
The first ever sad song to be played in Bleach's history.
Wow u are old
Thanks for rating this one up! Just want to make you aware that I've recently started posting videos again and have already come up with a Naruto Sadness and Sorrow trio and a pretty sweet Zelda Dark World solo violin cover. Check them out on my channel! Thanks for the support!
Ah, I actually posted that one about a month ago - check it out! It's under "Naruto" and is the first of hopefully more covers to come!
BenChanViolin
You're just amazing ! I love you so mutch !
BenChanViolin, unfortunately I can only vote this video up only once. Excellent work Sir.
Four years later and I still get chills. You see in his face that he put his heart and soul into the melody. It brings me joy to know that he was able to find that special someone.
*the last cookie from the jar fell to the floor*
*music starts playing*
Don't be such a germaphobe and eat it. Instead, the music should only start playing if it falls and your dog swallows it whole.
@@ttdijkstra well i mean, it not fully gone... you got to do what you got to do.........
You sit on the cookie and u stand up and it’s gone completely music starts playing
This song sound like someone was striped of their hopes and dreams and their desperately trying to recover what was taken from them..
It does feel like that, that hits deep
i mean yeah it played a few times when the shows (Bleach) main character (Ichigo) had basically that happen to him a few times, Bleach is known for its very well written and emotional music
when I listen to your old violin covers (which I do way too often) the comments are from years ago I feel alone lol
feels like flying same it's almost 2018
Alex DLC time flows fast
I am from the future
I feel you :/
Just commenting to keep this up to date

Em.A 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Em.A To answer your question.... he's not.
I think no, he is
nah, ive done that before for a history project, was wearing underwear
This is the type of song that you need to put yourself in that mood to play correctly. It makes you feel it better
bro i saw this when i was 12 lmao now im 22
Damn...time flies, doesn't it?
@@GrayGrayman it does fr

That was beautiful and clearly this song meant something to you. Watching your face as you played it was as if you were singing through your violin. Very moving
Still listening in 2018

Thank you for the video and the performance. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it, and I could really feel your emotions flowing through the music. It's also interesting watching your face as you pour your heart into this piece... I'm grateful for this rare opportunity to see an artist put their own emotions into their performance thus shaping the outcome. Truly, thank you.
Thank you for sharing the experience with me!
Been a long time Ben Chan, I'm 26 now but your violin still moved me like the way it did when I was 10. Hope you're doing well.
i'm here to wallow in my sorrow for the anticlimactic ending of bleach
Antonia Stoyanova what happened with bleach? I see everyone very frustrated about the manga
Sam Rom well, I myself stopped reading/watching when the anime ended and Bleach left me precious memories to cherish as it was one of my favourite stories with amazing moments and beautiful songs like this one. By chance, I found out that it ended in a way no one expected (not a plot-twist type of unexpected ending but rather, as I said, an anticlimatic one, an ending that did not make much sense to the story that was building up for 15 years) and it left most of the fans angry and feeling somehow betrayed, including myself. I realize how overly-dramatic this sounds but it pains me to see such an important part of my past and myself, well, ruined (for the lack of better word)
tldr; Kubo fucked the plot completely, not that it was ever consistent after the Soul Society arc
Sam Rom dude
you don't even wanna know
@@ton4encento It is all right man, it's coming back
@@ton4encento
I used to feel the same, but not anymore.
Whatever route Bleach goes, it will never affect its legacy or ruin my memories with the show.
Not to mention it's, after all, Kubo's story and he can end it however he wants, and I should respect that if I'm a true fan, especially considering he was on the verge of both mental & physical collapse in the final years of Bleach.
Bro, I faintly remember watching this video and being impressed by it back in 2009 when I was in high school! I'm glad I found it again!
no word can describe this song other than 'beautiful' thank you this almost made me cry thats how beautiful this song is
It's been so long since I first watched this [back in 2008]! I remember watching it all the time, and really wanting to play it. But alas, I played a viola, haha. Still really enjoy your playing, especially since you use dynamics and vibrato, which some covers lack :]
Is it ok to shed a tear?
it is completely okay :^)
Dang, this dude got down... I actually closed my eyes and reflected on a sad scenario... I felt uplifted at the end of it. Thank you.
To this day, still my favorite performance of the song.
10 years ago and I still come back here every time I need a catharsis.
this is one of my favorite videos of all time
This soundtrack is part of me, so beautifully played thank you sir !
1:35 In bleach anime, song ends.
Next: "Soft Strums". Ichigo is holding a black sword, which is part of his *ban kai* .
Byakuka: "It looks like a regular zanpaktu".
RUclips just recommended this video.. 14 years ago I subscribed to this channel, it was the first channel on RUclips I've subscribed XD
Thank you for your videos back then and even now
Oh my God he Plays so strong!! °-°
i am really glad that people like you really see the deep meaning and beautiful musics, because most of people ignore them just because they are in anime. in my opinion nowadays best musics are from anime and i am thanking you for playing those musics
Bravo bravo it warms my heart that people still take time to play and learn how to play the beautiful viola, or violin this music fills my heart with joy
12 years later, and I still feel your performance.
I just come back from hueco Mundo anyway
Here in 2022 thanks to the anime airing the TYBW nice to be back after all these years
2019 anyone?
Here
*walks out like a badass*
this the kinda song i need right now! Thanks Ben for playing it!
I cried in school because I listened to this song so beautiful I've been subscribed to you since a while now like I said a while back keep up the good work and better will happen to you
Thank you!
