👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
That part when Yoko Kanno plays Inner Universe in the quarantine show as a tribute to Origa gets me every time. R.I.P. Origa.

R.I.P. Origa
Inner Universe is one of my favorite anime OSTs of all time (easily top 3).
Dang. This is how I find out? RIP. Edit: Fuck Cancer.
both Inner Universe and Rise are two of my favorites ever. We dont get much music like this in anime anymore and its a shame.
RIP Origa
so next should be Berserk Guts Theme - Susumu Hirasawa and WitcherCon 2021 - Wolven storm (Priscilla's song)
For me it's No.1 . I just never stopped listening to it .
R.I.P. Origa. Truly an angelic voice.
Origa was a Russian singer named Olga Witaljewna Jakowlewa (Origa is the Japanese pronunciation). She also sang other songs from the OST of Ghost in the Shell SAC. You might like "Rise", one of the other OP of the series. She sadly passed away 2015 from lung cancer.
The other singer is Ben del Maestro, who also sang "The End of all things" from LOTR The Return of the King.
There is much more, great music from Yoko Kanno e.g. the OST from Cowboy Bebop.
Also want to say Origa's stuff is worth checking out even beyond her anime OP collabs with Yoko Kanno. Seriously her albums are great
He also sang in "Forth Eorlingas" in The Two Towers.
@@AtariDad Thank you. I didn't know this.
Origa was great in the ff13 series of games too. I love the piece she did for New Buhdum. I would look it up if you haven't amazing.
@@aldorain1016 Thank you, I will.
Can't hear Origa. I'm crying everytime. My friend died from cancer the same mounth as Origa and we both like Origa from the bottom of our hearts. My heart burn when I hear Origa. We both played Allods Online where she is the main singer. It's just so sad and so great at the same time. Thank you that you discover Origa and we can listen to her voice again.
Best wishes from Origa fans.
Friend! Have you heard her song “Ame”? I cry every time I hear this song.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your friend is up there now, enjoying an Origa concert. You'll see each other again, one day
Аллоды онлайн такой кайф был
three languages, Russian, Latin, and English. No Japanese in this Anime song. Yoko Kanno is legendary. I encourage you to listen to more of her stuff and then watch the Anime they go to.
The avantgarde composition and the choice of languages speaks of a really strong artistic vision. No matter the language, the fans will understand the musical language
Σ(・∀・；)あ。ラテン語も入ってたんか！
@@道端のポコちゃん そうです 「Aeria gloris」はラテン語で空中での栄光を意味します. 「Mana du vortes」の意味がまだ分かりません.
@@MoOrion "Mana" is translated as "hand" or "guidance" from a similar-sounding word in Latin "Manus", "Du" is close to "Duo", which is translated from Latin as "two" and "Vortes" - no idea. It can be assumed that the phrase "Mana du vortes" means "double strength", "two hands" or "the power of two"
@@vii1368 very interesting. Thanks.
Yoko Kanno has done a lot of great music. It will be worth it to listen to more from her.
COWBOY BEBOP
She has so much flexibility and experiments with so many genres with influences from around the globe. Top tier composer.
> "Yoko Kanno has done a lot of great music."
One of the greatest film music composers of all time, I dare to say!
escaflone and please save my earth
Wolfs Rain
This music has a lot of deep emotion. When I first heard it on Ghost in the Shell "stand alone complex" back in 2005 on cartoon Network adult swim. it touched my soul and made me tear up.
Weekdays right after Cowboy Bebop iirc just a great counterpart to The Real Folk Blues.
Same dude, Late Night Swim was the best. Do y'all remember Blue Gender?
@@hammerheadxray8152 I do, but not on AS.
@@hammerheadxray8152 I never heard of it.
I would love for more people to react to this song, Olga(Origa) deserved to have her name known worldwide, such a beautiful soul and talent taken far too soon.
Wow never expected this reaction. All the music in this anime is incredible.
1000% agree
Yoko Kano baby
Yoko Kanno's trademark is that she regards the language used for lyrics as one of the tonescapes in her compositions. Inner Universe is sung in Russian, Latin and English. Kanno usually gets a native speaker to sing the lead language, and the lyrics are usually written by a native speaker.
Another trademark is that if she can't find a language that fits the sound she wants, she'll fake one that's complete gibberish but sounds like it could be a real language.
Just like Ameno lol
And Moon @@dio2076
Amazing.
Music that represents the future, from over 20 years ago= Timeless. Absolutely timeless. Such a beautiful song.
Yoko Kanno really is the Japanese version of Hans Zimmer. She understands her score composing, and cherishes her relationships with other artists in other styles from her own.
uncomparable.
@@WyldSatyr7794
Meh, she does A LOT of plagiarism unlike Zimmer...
Edit: Considering how she blocked her music for so long and how some of her collaborations are still blocked, I wouldn't be so sure about that if I was you...
@@Wiski_
Comparing this crap to Zimmer... People have really gone soft in the head.
I can't even understand why Origa agreed to sing on this track.
@@cequiteplait9097 Explain more objectively.
@@cequiteplait9097How is it bad? I swear, some if u white guys have the most atrocious takes out there
This thing gives me chills every time. All the GITS SAC soundtracks are great.
Yoko never disappoints.
Legendary Track for a legendary anime!
No words can describe the feelings!
This song will never die
Boy oh boy, if you want to get some more Yoko Kanno suggestions, I can shoot some your way. I collected as much of her stuff as I could when I was younger.
Gosh, I forgot how good this track was. The Stand Alone Complex soundtrack is really phenomenal as a whole.
SAC was such a great anime. I remember waking up early in the morning on TV just to watch it. 🤩
you should drop some recs. been sampling yoko and she’s crazy
@@sophisticatedtypeofblack8944 @sophisticatedtypeofblack8944 "Stray" And "could you bite the hand" from Wolf's Rain are the first two that come to mind. Ooh, also "Bad Dog" and "Information High" from Macross Plus. IH is not Yoko Kanno's work, but it is damn fantastic. "Hemisphere" from RahXephon is Yoko Kanno doing a song for Maaya Sakamoto to go nuts on. The soundtracks for The Vision of Escaflowne. I need to check my notes, i don't have my library or CDs easily accessible currently. :-/
@@timkai bless your soul brother just happened to be cookin up rn
You know Yoko Kanno from Cowboy Bebop. She wrote "Tank!" (And all the music for the show) Her music is so extremely diverse in style she can do, and if I remember correctly she's all self taught besides playing piano growing up.
on the "Heavy nordic sound" you mentioned i think its beacause its her vocals have the same pattern/sound as a compination of 1:"SAMI JOIK" (upper/northern part of Norway, Sweden, Finnland, and Russia called SAPMI ) and Swedish "Cow-calling" aka "Kulning" there are some videos on youtube ther are good examples of this.
atleast thats my oppinion ^^ on why it has a "nordic somberness" to it .
glad you liked it, personally its my all time favorite OST of all times thus far (have it saved at mobile phone and my mp3 player so i always can enjoy it)
liked and SUB
Origa once said that there is also a boy from the choir singing here and the boy’s vocals are clearly distinguishable, for example, at the 1:18 mark. Origa herself began her vocal lessons with choral singing and in rare live performances of this song she performed it entirely herself.
Is it the one named Ben Del Maestro? Or another person? People always praise Origa & Yoko Kanno only, but I would like to know more about other people who involved in this too. They did such an amazing work
I miss Origa so terribly still today... I wonder if she had any tribute or celebration.. she has done so much for the anime and video games industry :c shes ICONIC and brought so much to the main stream/West.
Yoko Kanno never disappoints. It's always something interesting, and innovative in some way. But the vocals on this track are simply stunning. Both the way the lines are written, and the way Origa performs them. I can never get enough of hearing a vocalist who isn't afraid to really put everything into the performance.
Origa's voice will always resonate in my soul, and she lives on through her wonderful and beautiful music. Thank you for the reaction to this great piece of art, I'm glad that more people are getting closer to great works like this.
Yoko Kanno is something out of this world. A full blown musician through and through.
"Fiery, honey drip."
I've never heard a better description for that sequence. SO GOOD!
Amazingly pwoerful song. Feels like free falling.
Yoko is so versatile. Her music is and will always be amazing.
i love breakdowns like these because I have 0 musical knowledge and it really helps me to see why a song works the way it does,. Thanks a lot!
This is a dangerous song to have in the car. :P
Origa is deeply missed. Russian, latin and english in this, and any time she worked with Yoko you knew it was going to be awesome. You've listened to some Cowboy Bebop, and now some GitS:SAC. Also from GitS:SAC Rise and Christmas Time in the Silent Forest.
I use it sometimes when on a bicycle, and, well, it gives healthier wings than a Red Bull can 😅
Yeah you don’t want to space out while driving. I literally just did listening 😂
Well played whoever spotted the similarities in vocal sensibility with Imogen heap. 100% agree
4:30 wow! So awesome that you pick out the section where the bass develops, it's one of my fave parts of the song. It hits you inside but doesn't go right through you.
I'm so glad you covered this. This is one of my favourite songs ever made. I cannot even begin to count how many times I've listened to it. And I love that you recognised the Imogen Heap/Frou Frou influence, as this came out pretty shortly after the Frou Frou album dropped.
I don't believe in afterlife, I believe in human memory.
Прощай, Оленька. Спасибо за всё
She was amazing.
"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?"
YOKO KANNO!
That woman is a legendary Composer. There is an insane amount of awesome soundtracks she did. I could name 10-20 exceptional tracks from her.
Her range is also insane. She does Jazzy stuff like "Tank" from Cowboy Bebop or romantic stuff like "Moon" from "Turn A Gundam".
Japanese Anime and games are a treasure trove of exceptional music.
Another not so "famous" track is "Earth Resonance" from "Earth Maiden Arjuna", that got me on the first time i heard it.
Anyway "Inner Universe" is one of the most intense pieces.
Absolutely incredible song, I'm glad music RUclipsrs are finally discovering it!
This song does an amazing job of capturing both the beauty and the pain of life….and the experience of being human.
Thanks for the middle sequence, I never noticed it. Rediscovered this song again and it gives me the goosebumps.
I bow 🙇🏻♀️ to the glory that is Origa and Kanno Yoko 🫶🏻
Awesome I made this suggestion ages ago. Thanks Geebz and please dig deeper on her work. She’s incredibly diverse. Cheers!
Oh wow....what a treat! One of my fav anime opening tracks ever. Those key changes at the beginning never cease to give me tingles.
This anime was a favorite growing up. Inner Universe is in forever replay.
I swear I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. This song is a masterpiece.
Never thought I'd seen someone reacting to it. thanks!
Yoko Kanno is the Hans Zimmer of Anime.
You, really, should dive into Yohko Kanno's back catalog! She is an incredible composer!
Yoko Kanno is one of my all time fav music producers. She is amazing!
I cannot agree enough!
I've listened to this track probably a thousand times and have never noticed those middle tones toward the end. Love your channel!
Yoko Kanno es una estupenda compositora ❤
Thanks for this. This song always brings me back to simpler times watching GitS on Adult Swim as a teen with no cares in the world.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Me, too! I would wake up early just to watch it. 🥰
I was a little older, but watching this late at night in college was definitely formative. The whole GitS soundtrack became my playlist while travelling between campus and home for holidays.
Still gives me chills. Beautiful, epic, and haunting.
Basically the anthem of my child hood. Together with lithium flower. A couple other great ones are inner universe, surf, get9 and I do. Well basically all sac soundtracks 😂
Don't forget Europe. Sax FTW
I love Olga voice so much. Especialy on albums: 'Lyre', 'Era of Queens' and 'Aurora'. Sadly she's pass some times ago. Same history with Boom Boom Satellites. Guys makes great music and one day Michiyuki also pass away. Music of both Origa and BBS still exist, but no new one.
BTW. If I may suggest one composition of Madame Yoko Kanno, then that will be little piece from second Wolf's Rain soundtrack with the title 'Tell me what the rain knows' sung by Maya Sakamoto - legendary seyiuu.
A fellow fan of both Olga and BBS. Push Eject is fantastic.
This song I define as heavenly industrial. Great mix of russian, latin and english lyrics defining 3 different "moods" in the song, which reminds me of another Yoko Kanno song called Hemisphere, which is the opening song for the anime RahXephon, a mecha anime very centered around music, and the song has 3 moods very defined by different musical styles, with subtle tones that remind of this somg too. Yoko Kanno is just amazing at taking any style and making great music for it, and the voice of Origa, beautiful!!
Its so nice seeing someone react to this OST specifically. Stand Alone Complex has some of the best music in any anime. Fits the futuristic vibe so well. Would love to see you tackle more off the OST!
I did not expect to ever see this being reacted too but oh my god my late nights as a kid watching adult swim and hearing this opening brought me right back
Inner universe forever…till this day decades after my childhood I still listen to this song and it touches me the same every time
She was always my favorite female vocalist, and the fact she passed away just 1 day before my birthday was just sad. I will never forget what she did for many others :)
The thing about this song that gives me chills every time is what you pointed out about the way they use percussion. The soundscape of a song to me is like the music describing a 3d space to the listener; the difference in frequencies between the low end and high end describe the number of directions the soundwave is travelling, and each sharp sound you encounter is describing a wall that the sound is hitting. Most songs describe a long narrow hallway or a boxy room filled with objects and barriers, but not this song. The percussion uses tons of tiny crackles and chimes, and the base is super warm and smooth, all while violins accompany the INCREDIBLE range of Yoko Kanno and Origa and their legato vocal runs. This song is practically DEVOID of sharp noises.
So when you listen to it, it describes a space with thousands of tiny objects and obstructions, but is infinite in all directions. There are no walls. The soundscape of the song puts you on a rooftop in New Port City, letting you take in the sprawling ripples of urban expansion before you dive off that rooftop and slowly fall into the depths. They managed take that animation of Major Kusanagi diving off the roof and blend it into her dive into the ocean, and then transform that into sound. Absolutely BREATHTAKING ever time.
Despite all the controversy surrounding her compositions, I absolutely love Kanno's works! In my youth I owned all of her CD's from the late 90's, including works she'd collaborated on like Cowboy Bebop. Some of the most unique and inspiring sounds came from Kanno and especially Susumu Hirasawa ( what an eccentric guy! ).
I've been trying to get Geebz to listen to some Hirasawa too. That stuff is going to break his brain in the best way, just like it did to us. But moreso because he's a composer.
Susumu Hirasawa is a very special person and artist. His work is so unique and to me it's like the star aligned for him to do the Berserk OST, just such a perfect fit. His range of compositions is also extremely vast, from some of the hardest to some of the most beautiful and melodic music (even within Berserk, say "Sign" or "Murder" vs. "Earth" or "Gatsu")
hirasawa breaks my brain every time I listen to him, and I've been listening to him for 20 years now haha. it's pure chaotic, genius madness.
And listen to More Origa! Player featuring Illaria Graziano. Or her song called Rise. She's such an incredible vocalist.
Shoutout to Frou Frou & Imogen as a vocal parallel also. I love Frou Frou! 🙌🏾❤️🔥
Kenne den Song schon seit meiner Kindheit 😍
Lately been going around watching older music loves reaction to anime music and positively loving it! Enjoyed your video and analysis! Look forward to watching more.
I'm sure people were spamming it in the comments but you already listed to Tank and Space Lion from Cowboy Bebop soundtrack those are both Yoko Kanno compositions. She formed the Seatbelts (the band that plays both those tracks) for the OST of Cowboy Bebop. She's an absolutely incredible composer and musician with an uncanny ability to nail any genre of music she goes for while still allowing her own musical sense to shine through.
Ghost in the shell of one of the greatest animes ever, is not popular but still is amazing
@rpgeebz your videos are enabling me to separate a song in layers and making the whole experience much more interesting, ejoyable and understandable, !thanks for your videos and pointing out the way you do!
Man, I love that you love this song. Yoko Kano is the most well known anime music composer. Check out "Tsuki no Mayu" (from Turn A Gundam) and Information High (from Macross). Two of my favorite from her.
This (compressed down to 90 seconds) was the opening theme for the first season of the anime, and holy moly did it do a fantastic job setting the mood for everything that followed. This song played and it just set your brain to the right mood for the episode. I think the series would have hit quite differently without it.
Wow dude, I never expected you to react to this. I listen to this like once a week or so, the harmonization has never not given me goosebumps.
Origa has been a favorite from the first time I experienced this song so many years ago.
This music brings tears to my eyes, beautiful.
Whoever recommended this to him thank you perfect song choice
This was such a wonderful moment. I dunno if you noticed, my good Geebz, but we've been suggesting that one basically the entire time you've been taking requests. Me and two other guys were spamming it a LOT for just months. We just knew you'd be blown away.
Actually I do recognize that flying by - what a great track!
I noticed when I asked around the other day. That's why I made a point of putting it as my request. Also, love the song, so happily suggested it.
Has he done Cyberbird yet?
I really enjoy the way you do your reactions; explaining your understanding and things you notice from your experience and background in music. Sometimes helping us notice things we might miss out on or not fully understand. I also enjoy how you seem to try and find something positive to talk about in the soundtracks instead of just giving harsh criticism if you dont like it. Origa is definitely one of my favorites, thanks for the reaction, subscribed!
I've heard this song a thousand times and you made me realise the middle background vocals! Thanks!
Christmas in the Silent Forest is another otherwordly song from this series.
This is one of a few songs in my life that I reacted to physically. Pure goosebumps the first time I heard it. Her voice was absolutely amazing and the composition of the GitS music overall is absolutely astounding.
R.I.P Origa...love her voice. Forestella cover of this song is also good in most part
"Player" is the the other song of their collaboration (with Yoko Kanno) that i love
I get goosebumps whenever I listen to this, very beautiful, very powerful
One of the best anime intros of all time. I watched and listened every single episode. If you have never watched an anime I would recommend starting with Ghost in the Shell. For a setting where the backdrop is all about people becoming machines and sometimes losing their humanity it is so full of soul and humanity. I cannot recommend it highly enough as a first anime. As for music I can also highly recommend the outro, Lithium Flower. Bonus, it's all in English.
THE BEST ANIME THEME EVER.
GITS! this so cool that you did a reaction to this!
How did I miss this, it‘s one of my favourite songs of all time T.T Rest In Peace, Origa
I have been in love with this song since I heard it on GITS Stand Alone Complex.
Beautiful ❤️ I had to listen very carefully to discern Origa from Ben del Maestro. They complement each other so magically 🥹 I've learned about this music because I was searching for Ben's songs. I'm grateful I did, even though 14 years have passed since this beautiful and unique Goddess died. She was amazing 😭 I'll research for more of her. She left a beautiful legacy ❤
"It seems recent" that's how you know the futuristic sci-fi made in 1995 did something right!
"Fiery Honey Drip" is a GREAT way to describe this particular song sir! LMAO!!!
Just listening to this gives me goosebumps.
Still on my regular playlist, so good, such a sense of scale and atmosphere
Glad to see your trying some more HIGHLY regarded anime. If you get teh chance I would recommend the end credits song to an anime called Samurai Champloo called Shiko No Uta. Can easily be found here on youtube.
Her music truly touched my soul I remember feeling genuine pain when she passed even though I never knew her her music was able form a connection with my very being. I hope one day to be having a conversation with her when I also reach the other side.
Origa was truly one of a kind, she and her unique vocals are definitely so missed! Highly recommend other Yoko Kanno/Origa collabs they did, really meant for each other, musically speaking! ❤️And if you really loved this, also HIGHLY RECOMMEND Yuki Kajiura as well, and all her projects. Kajiura and Yoko have distinct, their own styles, but they hit these electronic / traditional /epic vocals mash you liked so much in this track
*snicker* Kanno vs Kajiura was a decades long argument with my sis and I. We liked both, but it always came up.
Graziano's work with Kanno is another collab bit that was quite enjoyable.
@@TacitaSaturnia I have a softer spot towards Kajiura myself, but I adore both of them, so I totally understand that, haha. I agree, and I also would add Kanno's works with Steve Conte and Scott Matthew, they are some other fave of mine, I think a reaction to those would be great too!
@@CelticBotansDigitalArt Kajiura was my pref. Love her work with Kalafina..several are still on my workout 'tapes'. Do hope he looks at some of those songs (Nowhere, Salva Nos, etc) at some point.
OMB... I'm the one that was obsessed with high notes vocals exactly "Origa" (R.I.P.😢 Your voice will always be remember in my heart) , I barely try to covered this song often yeah... It's sounds weird and hilarious 😂 then I find about meaning of the lyrics WOW... Amazing Yoko Kanno. She's legendary.
So ahead of its time no one has replicated this sound
Just got season 1 special edition on dvd that comes with the album that is shown on the video in the mail. Loved this show as a teen had vol 1 on dvd back in 2004 but lost it more than a decade ago now I have it again with the post cd
One of my faves, great pick!
Her free fall and smashing into the ground and her slow walking was one of the greatest entrances until Thor's entrance during the Battle of Wakanada and Iron Man's introduction into the MCEU
Yoko Kanno is a Master. I love her stuff on Macross Frontier
Outside of Anime-fans, far too few people get to discover the absolute genius that is Yoko Kanno. So the rare instances of reactor doing YK songs is always a delight. And your appreciation and insight are great fun to watch.
About this song in particular, one thing I believe has not been mentioned in the comments before is that the second singer is (then) boy tenor Benedict Del Maestro, whom far more people have heard in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy (e.g. the last March of the Ents in The Two Towers).
It is also entirely possible that YK drew inspiration from Frou Frou/Imogen Heap, since the Anime came out in 2002, around the same time Heap got famous.
Edit: One more thing: Apart from her prowess as a composer, Kanno is also an excellent producer and listening to the songs on RUclips and/or in mp3 is almost not good enough. Listening to Kanno songs in a lossless format and with a good sound system/good headphones makes the music seem even more impressive.
I’m listening to this on my home theatre surround. The pro-logic processing gives such a rich experience
Hey man, always enjoy seeing your take on the things that made my childhood growing up. Growing up on the simple medley-type music of old consoles there will always be a nostalgia for that simple, yet very well-thought-out melodic theory in my mind. A quick thing, love the new window borders for the thumbnails, but, would perhaps advise against using the color red. RUclips does that thing where it has the run-time bar filled out on a video you've watched or began watching at some point. I almost missed this one because I thought I'd already seen it for some reason.
this song makes you feel like you are flying
Yoko kanno and origa were long time friends, thats why they worked together on this song and created one of the greatest soundtracks in Anime History hands down.......RIP Origa. You are now one with the net, forever to stay, a ghost in the shell.
I love love Origa!! RiP!
Yoko Kanno is amazing and Origa(Olga) was just so amazing!! Thank you!! ❤
