absolutely! strats and teles are essential! i thought about it but i was a little scared of getting too technical :( i can definitely make more videos in the future expanding on how to get the right guitar tone and talk more about gear, thank so much for watching and for your comment! :)
Not really, much anime op use a gibson lespaul, a semi-hollow gretsch, or a custom suhr with humbucker so it isn't really matter. The arrangement matter.
It's always the guitars that are the hardest in these J-Rock songs. They really love their funky strumming. It was something that caught me off guard when I first started learning anime songs being someone who mostly played blues and had very minimal funk experience at that point.
it was the same for me! it actually helped me to learn more funk which i didn’t quite like before and now i love it! Cory Wong has some great right hand technique videos, he’s the goat! even if it’s a different style i think it translates very well to J-Rock!
If you think the guitars are hard, try playing the piano parts. The people that write and play songs in this industry are all music school degree holders or dropouts, they study this stuff professionally before they make it big. Even if they aren't, the bar for quality and skill is really high.
I think one of the biggest influences on modern anime music (and why they sound different from older anime songs) is vocaloid music. So many anime music is written/sung by vocaloid artists and it’s really changed the entire J-POP landscape
It feels like there's a lot more math rock and jazz elements in modern anime openings as opposed to the more straight rock and pop elements in the older anime openings. This captures the essence of the newer openings and and kinda adds to what I think is happening in modern anime openings
comments are mentioning zutomayo + kitani tatsuya, which i agree with, but more than anything else the full song's actual structure reminded me of eve most of all! you hit the nail on the head!
UPDATE 2 !!! 1. NEW VIDEO OUT NOW! (link in the description!) i hope you like it :) 2. I'm still working on finishing this song so I can release it, now that my second video is out I can fully focus on this! 3. Still working on the tabs 😭 will post soon! thank you! indrop.
I am really glad you did it in this format, especially the 1:30 song to replicate anime openings + endings. When you blow up remember i am in you top 10k Subs 🤣🤣❤️
i will make that video soon! currently working on a different one but i will definitely do it as well because i also love mid 2000s j-rock! thanks for watching :)
On god, this is so damn good! Definitely reminds me of King Gnu and Eve (specifically Kaikai Kitan which is a good thing!). You absolutely captured the vibe of modern anime op. Instant sub, can’t believe this was your first video. I’ve been learning to play the guitar for a bit now but I’ve also wanted to pick up a bass too and this video just cemented that for me.
i was shocked when saw that this was ur first video. so high quality. proud to be one of the first people here, can't wait to see this channel grow. this just inspired me to make even more music xD. maybe I should try other DAWs.
thank you so much! i’m finishing my second video:) i’m happy to read that it was inspiring! also trying new daws can be fun! i used to only use Ableton but now i love Cubase!
I would absolutely be very interested in an in depth break down of your techniques, everything from the harmony writing to the production. I think Japan is one of the places in the world with the most sophisticated ears for music. I eagerly await your next upload, this is really amazing
i will definitely consider it for future videos! i thought about being more detailed and technical but i was afraid of people getting bored so i decided to make it simpler and fast paced but i would love to explain it more in depth in the future:) thank you so much for watching!
This is a bit general but Japanese pop tends to have a lot more jazz influence that other pop styles. Pretty much none of it actually is jazz but there are clear parts that can be traced to being some element of jazz. Improvisation, instruments and the general vibe of it weren't taken in much, but a ton of the theory was. This is why you generally see more colourful harmony in Japanese music generally for example. If someone knows what the role of a diminished7 chord is, they probably listen to music like this. There is also a bigger focus on modality, especially in games, though this has seeped into a lot of indie video game soundtracks nowadays as well so it's not really an exclusive thing anymore
Im not sure why but this single video just made me pickup my bass and start grooving my own parts to the song. Thats never really happend before. Thanks for the insporation
I'm currently in the middle of finishing my first complete song... It's amazing how I've been including a lot of these elements even tho I was looking more for a live math rock-y sound. This is gonna help, thanks!
Incredible work here man, I'm lookign forward to what you do next on this channel because you honestly nailed the sound of newer OPs and I couldnt believe this was your first video. Well done ❤
Bro, for a first upload this is phenomenal. Amazing music, amazing information, and amazing video. Keep it up because I'd love to see more content from you
I literally clicked on your channel and thought you would have a lot of videos because of how high quality this video is. I was surprised to know that this was your first video. keep on with the good work! amazing video!! looking forward to your future uploads!!!
My YT algorithm doing God´s work, OMG this was amazing!!!!!! It was so beautiful it gave me chills on the little pause right before the chorus drops. Hope you keep making stuff like this man, take care c:
Awesome video and an awesome tune! I'm gonna save and bookmark this and try writing a few songs following your advice. I love the Japanese pop and rock sound and have been trying to move more and more in the direction! Great video man, thanks again!
thank you so much!! some people asked me about the song too but i only have 1 min and a half so far :( but im going to finish it when i have time and release it everywhere!!
This is incredible! To me, the chord progressions are what separates j-rock from western funk and rock, that most of us are used to. Still trying to figure out the science behind this harmony though
thank you so much!! i will definitely do Indie in the future!!! i love japanese indie bands a lot and is probably my favorite genre in general, i want to cover as many genres as i can. If you want to hear some of my indie music production in the meantime you could check: “Geskle - Half of It” and “Poolfire - Periwinkle” I co-wrote and produced both songs:) they are not Japanese but you might still find them interesting. thank you again!

You forgot to mention how instrumental a single coil guitar tone is to the modern anime opening sound
absolutely! strats and teles are essential!
i thought about it but i was a little scared of getting too technical :( i can definitely make more videos in the future expanding on how to get the right guitar tone and talk more about gear, thank so much for watching and for your comment! :)
@@iamindrop be as specific as you want us guitar players are autistic af
@@JavierPwns hello fellow artistic
Not really, much anime op use a gibson lespaul, a semi-hollow gretsch, or a custom suhr with humbucker so it isn't really matter.
The arrangement matter.
@@sandim2031 🤓🤓🤓 most popular MODERN anime OPs like Where our blue is are played with single coils
I like that the thumbnail implies the answer is just, "use an electric guitar."
hahaha honest clickbait! thanks for watching!!!
I actually thought it was "Get a tele!"
Not just any electric guitar, a Telecaster.
It's always the guitars that are the hardest in these J-Rock songs. They really love their funky strumming. It was something that caught me off guard when I first started learning anime songs being someone who mostly played blues and had very minimal funk experience at that point.
it was the same for me! it actually helped me to learn more funk which i didn’t quite like before and now i love it! Cory Wong has some great right hand technique videos, he’s the goat! even if it’s a different style i think it translates very well to J-Rock!
@@iamindrop yeah Cory Wong is awesome. One of the best in funk these days
Just gotta get some bones in your wrist removed
If you think the guitars are hard, try playing the piano parts. The people that write and play songs in this industry are all music school degree holders or dropouts, they study this stuff professionally before they make it big. Even if they aren't, the bar for quality and skill is really high.
@@yu.niverse facts!
your song felt like a fusion of zutomayo and tatsuya kitani and it actually sounds amazing
that’s a huge compliment thank you!! i actually love them both!!
AGREED ON THIS
there's nothing i love more than zutomayo
I think one of the biggest influences on modern anime music (and why they sound different from older anime songs) is vocaloid music. So many anime music is written/sung by vocaloid artists and it’s really changed the entire J-POP landscape
That riff is so Zutomayo lol love it
thank you! i love zutomayo!!
It feels like there's a lot more math rock and jazz elements in modern anime openings as opposed to the more straight rock and pop elements in the older anime openings. This captures the essence of the newer openings and and kinda adds to what I think is happening in modern anime openings
Holy damn.
If someone told me this was an actual op for an anime I wouldn’t even question it.
comments are mentioning zutomayo + kitani tatsuya, which i agree with, but more than anything else the full song's actual structure reminded me of eve most of all! you hit the nail on the head!
i had 2 eve songs on the inspiration playlists i made for this video!! thank you so much for watching!
My first instinct when hearing the complete song was Zutomayo and Eve
Def an anime opening I wouldn’t skip
thank you so much!:)
UPDATE 2 !!!
1. NEW VIDEO OUT NOW! (link in the description!) i hope you like it :)
2. I'm still working on finishing this song so I can release it, now that my second video is out I can fully focus on this!
3. Still working on the tabs 😭 will post soon!
thank you!
indrop.
im so hype!
This was such a a great video, the song is amazing I cant wait to see the full release!
👑🧎♂ Here, you dropped it.
Holy guacamole this is your first video!?? A masterpiece, thank you for this😩
thank YOU for watching!!! and for your kind words :)
I am really glad you did it in this format, especially the 1:30 song to replicate anime openings + endings. When you blow up remember i am in you top 10k Subs 🤣🤣❤️
Dude you should make a full version of this song, it's so good
intro sounded like kairikibea, rest of the song sounded like kitani and zutomayo mixed.
I love the mid-2000s era of anime openings ! I hope that video comes out soon
i will make that video soon! currently working on a different one but i will definitely do it as well because i also love mid 2000s j-rock! thanks for watching :)
Loved the chord shapes you used! Would love to see a video breaking down some of the chords and your style of playing.
For real! Those chord shapes is honestly my goal in put in my playbook :D
Guys, wake up! A new iamindrop video just dropped
omg what a masterpiece! good job!
thank you so much!! :)
On god, this is so damn good! Definitely reminds me of King Gnu and Eve (specifically Kaikai Kitan which is a good thing!). You absolutely captured the vibe of modern anime op. Instant sub, can’t believe this was your first video. I’ve been learning to play the guitar for a bit now but I’ve also wanted to pick up a bass too and this video just cemented that for me.
You freaking nailed it!!! Even better than a lot of OPs!!
thank you so much!
It's criminal that this is so accurate. Kudos and subscribed
thank you so much!!!
I'm so glad RUclips recommended me this! It was AMAZING!
awww:) thanks you so much for watching!
fr
I'm glad youtube recommended me this! Please do more of this kind of tutorial
thank you so much! yes! i want to make more videos like this, i have a lot of ideas:)
That intro literally made me think you were just gonna make Venom all over again, and both that and the actual result would still have me shook.
you should post the song by itself! it's so good i want to listen to it again and again
i’m actually working on it right now! i made it longer so it’s gonna be like a legit 3 mins something song:) i will post it as soon as im done!
the song it’s out now! ruclips.net/video/O_bn_U-1n-4/видео.htmlsi=CQDAx2VgtGf-37Ff
I am only learning guitar and recently piano to know sheet music, but seeing all this got my mind to seek a bass too.
bass is super fun too!
Dica, piano é otimo pra teoria musical, mas escolha um instrumento só, foque nele até dominar e depois fica mais facil aprender outros
This really reminds me of king gnu and eve 😩
i was shocked when saw that this was ur first video. so high quality. proud to be one of the first people here, can't wait to see this channel grow.
this just inspired me to make even more music xD. maybe I should try other DAWs.
thank you so much! i’m finishing my second video:)
i’m happy to read that it was inspiring! also trying new daws can be fun! i used to only use Ableton but now i love Cubase!
i scream out with the yorushika cause i love the song so much and the dangers in my heart too
both are incredible! thank you for watching:) !!
yorushika is so good!! i really love their guitar riffs especially op2 for frieren. it would be fun to learn how to play guitar like that
Sounds like BRADIO. Good stuff.
I thought this would be a video from someone with a ton of subscribers and likes, this was awesome!
how can anyone be this disciplined and talented?? Insane
thank you so much for watching!
Absolutely awesome

nice! i like how you used a lofi version for the outro. the song was good. the end resembled the start which was cool
thank you! yeah the lofi version was a little easter egg i’m glad someone noticed it!
@@iamindrop youre welcome. please release that version too!

Hope you get more attention dude your stuff is amazing!
thank you so much!!
Excellent video and beatiful song. I would really enjoy a theory focused video (explaining chord progressions/scales and whatnot). Great work!
thank you so much! is definitely something that i’m considering for a future video!
I suddenly remembered Eve in your work

First video? Wow, it is SUPERB
Congratulations 👏🏻

Gold video aniki. Thx for upload.
Awesome video and an awesome tune! I'm gonna save and bookmark this and try writing a few songs following your advice. I love the Japanese pop and rock sound and have been trying to move more and more in the direction! Great video man, thanks again!
First vidéo ! And it's awsome !

BRO U INSANE I LIKE THIS
The work is great and I really want to learn how to make the same sound! Thanks for the motivation friend!
thank you so much for watching! i’m glad it was helpful:)
This is super inspiring thank you for making this video
thank YOU for watching it!! :)
I loved this! You just gain a new sub hehe
Oh and will you drop the song on RUclips? It’s a banger and I would love to listen to it daily!
thank you so much!! some people asked me about the song too but i only have 1 min and a half so far :( but im going to finish it when i have time and release it everywhere!!
@@iamindrop just 1 minute and half is enough but I wouldn't say no to more lmao I'll keep an eye on your channel man :D
This is incredible! To me, the chord progressions are what separates j-rock from western funk and rock, that most of us are used to. Still trying to figure out the science behind this harmony though
i didn’t explain the chord progression that i used in this video 😭 but i could explain a little bit of the harmony/theory in the future!
genuinely scared with the vocals, i would never be able to tell its an ai
sick stuff man
That palmed muted phrase on the pre-chorus sounds so much like Eve, I love this genre and you captured perfectly
Ohhh this is absolutely amazing. Loved it. It's an insane first video hahah 10000/10
thank you so much!!!
i was here before you got famous :)
thank you 🥹
凄く良く分析出来ていて驚きました‼️こらからも頑張ってください！
