Bro i am so glad i wasnt the only one tweaking over the jjk soundtrack
right bro, genuinely tweaking on how good the music direction of this show is.
Been listening to it for a month now
ong I was waiting for the entire soundtrack to drop on Spotify after the anime ended
Same
Same bro ❤ I listen to it while I workout 🏋️
Bro, the JJK soundtrack has been living rent-free in my brain ever since I heard self-embodiment of perfect and working overtime. Season 2 basically made it one of the all-time greats, imo. Delirious, Physical Prowess and What Was Entrusted to Me STILL give me goosebumps. ❤️
i totally agree i love all those tracks but tracks like prepare yourself, arrogance, if i am with you, and you better get strong all hit me heavily because of the emotions and meaning behind the songs, it just makes you feel like you’re living it you know.
All time greats is crazy 😭 Watch more anime
@@OK-mv4ihSomeone who has watched more anime here, it's still one of the greats, don't be elitist
@@OK-mv4ih by commenting this i can tell you haven't watched that many yourself lol
dont forget resolve that song SLAPS
Bro thank you I was getting so annoyed by the lack of conversations about this soundtrack I can't wait for more from you and the composer of JJK
I know right???? I've been dying to see people discuss about the amazing soundtracks in this season. I searched all over and couldn't find any fruitful discussion
If you want to hear more from the composer you should check some of his bands/projects! he had a math rock band called haisuinonasa, a math rock and pop idol girl group (sora tob sakana, they made the high score girl opening) and currently has a band called siraph, he also composed the houseki no kuni (land of the lustrous) opening!
Holy glaze, this shit ain't that good g. That gojo motif is so corny
@@OK-mv4ihstuff like this is subjective isn’t it. You do you
i swear to fucking god when i heard the piano part of "with rage" i literally exploded my pants
TRUE
Same that part is my fav
JJK's OST is leitmotif after leitmotif, it's so good at telling a story in the music itself alongside the show.
Premature is referring to "premature death", the death of Geto as a jujustu sorcerer.
Edit: Fun fact that I've noticed, the CS:GO accept matchmaking sound is in with rage lol. (Around 42 seconds into the song).
It also refers to Riko dying so young.
@@clankennon8253 Nah it doesn't. The premature death arc is the few chapters after her death covering primarily Geto and his downfall.
@@EdenHamilton it does to Riko too, to Gojo's almost "death", to Satoru and Suguru's relationship premature death
@@EdenHamiltonIt is the death of innocence, the end of blue summer.
that little clicking sound??? i've been trying to figure that out for weeks, you're a goat
1:08:40 "The choir sounds like they're crying" THAT IS SO PERFECT AHHH
21:02 it’s taken from the arc’s name-“Hidden Inventory/Premature Death”-the hidden inventory likely referring to Toji’s worm curse and the premature death being Riko and Haibara (literally) and Geto (figuratively)
I think it's also about Gojo. He loses the comraderie that he had with his friends (especially Geto) and is basically forced to become The Strongest (a very lonely title). It marks the death of the version of Gojo that believed in others and that was happy with his place in the world. Almost like a death of innocence.
No Hesitation is by far my favorite piece of season 2 holy fuck what a masterpiece
And yet THEY NEVER PLAYED IT
@@samanimations2002 yup thats tragic
That brief comparison to that AOT track literally was on my mind for so long dude, thank you for mentioning that!! 😭
Pls send the timestamp for this 😭
1:04:55@@yaaseenm
also on the 3 years of overflowing youth, the nostalgic theme that played was exactly one minute long.
it represented the time that gojo was standing there and the conditions that were needed to be met in order to seal someone in the prison realm.
I Like the fact In the full song of "Climax Jumping" Takada sings Todo's actual theme near the end of the song.
2:00 in thunderclap goes hard bro
Best song by far
the wait was worth it
also shoutout to no hesitation which didn't get used at all despite being one of the best tracks in the ost, whenever that gets used the wait will have been worth it too
The resolve song playing during the yuji choso fight is ✨peak✨
Absolutely beautiful, I'm a soundtrack enjoyer as well and genuinely believe these soundtracks deserve more love, I don't even know how many times I have listened to this seasons soundtracks on repeat, especially sukuna's themes, as just as you said, he changes EVERYTHING, and to quote jogo's words, it's not just his presence but the soundtrack as well just personified the feeling of being faced with an unconquerable overwhelming evil
Whenever songs have an opera chorus its meant to symbolize some kind of holiness unknown imo so I totally get it
I could be wrong about this, but that long droning sound at the beginning of "Still Unaware" sounds a lot like the beginning of the song "Toji Fushiguro" which is literally Toji's theme and we hear multiple times throughout Hidden Inventory and Shibuya. I think it's interesting to have that begin that scene, then when it flashes back and Toji finally feels some remorse or sympathy for his son, it changes to that brighter more hopeful piano. Showing how at the end of it all he finally looked past his life as the sorcerer killer, and looked more towards being a father.
hi so i'm autistic and one of my big special interests is soundtracks! so like video game soundtracks, and now anime soundtracks. JJK s2's ost is so so amazing but i barely see any appreciation for it and when i saw this video in my recommended it was like seeing god i can't lie. i love this analysis so much, and it makes me so happy to see people look deeply into the soundtrack like i do, which is surprisingly rare in this fandom. seriously when you mentioned all the songs with gojo's leitmotif scattered in it, i screamed because it made me so excited!! i love things like this tysm for this video
why did you have to mention you are autistic?
If you want to hear more from the composer you should check some of his bands/projects like haisuinonasa, sora tob sakana (they made the high score girl opening) and siraph, he also composed the houseki no kuni (land of the lustrous) opening :D
i am not diagnosed (yet) but i’m sure i’m on the spectrum and I've been COMPLETELY obsessed with the JJK soundtrack and terui yoshimasas work since last year 😭😭
@@vulmere NO WAY i love the hnk opening sm! i'll def check those out tysm
i’m not autistic and i have special interests including soundtracks
What does being autistic have to do with any of that😭
FINALLY the jjk soundtrack has been SO insane, from Memories That Didn't Exist/The Man Aoi Todo, Your Battle is My Battle, Fight Again, Self-Embodiment Of Perfection, Hollow Purple, Fight Alongside, If I Am With You to fucking Thunderclap and Malevolent Shrine, its SO good whether its just pure action music or actual malicious chanting
Im pretty sure Nobara's theme is actually based on a song called ''Liar'' from the season 1 OST which was only used once in season 1 I think, in episode 17. Interestingly while that episode does heavily feature Nobara, it was used not for her but in instead in the flashback scene from Maki and Mai, Anyway great video!
till JJK, i haven't been so enamored with anime music since Yu Yu Hakusho and Cell Saga DBZ. and the JJK editing team also deserves *HUGE* props with how the chorography and shots perfectly blend with the music, most exceptionally executed during the Yuji vs Choso fight
"Just a very very brief video"
but in all seriousness GREAT video, analysis, editing, and etc. super entertaining to watch!
💀
There’s one song I wish was used and it was “No Hesitation” it’s so damn good
ah yes, an hour and an half long video about jjk music.
exactly what i was looking for, ty yt.
the fight for geto vs toji is SOOOOOOOO DAMN FITTING, hearing you explain it makes it so much better, the build up from the 2nd section into geto calling out his curse dragon and toji shooting him with dead accuracy rly shows that toji isn't someone to treat lightly, it rly sets the scene and make the fight that much better
holy fucking shit ive found someone who loves OSTs and music in general in media as much as i do. ever since i became a fan of jjk the ops eds and the osts all have me in a chokehold. listening to tracks like searching for riko delirious thunderclap and malevolent shrine makes me feral over how much of a fucking banger they all are. literally saw this vid recommended to me and i instantly clicked on it. i enjoy watching u analyze each track in depth sonically and with regards to how they are used in different scenes. seeing u gush over all those tracks the same way i did and still do makes me rly happy. amazing video i loved every second of it
Happy im not the only one going actually feral over posts, also even if u don't watch the anime, aots posts are so peak, id recommend looking into bauklotze (the newer one with vocals,) akutsi no requiem, and barricades. Requiem is an ending, but a very fitting one, and the other 2 are just soundtracks from the show
@@EepyGirlLava i actually have all the aot ost albums saved on my spotify i listen to all of them!! my fav is defo the s3p2 osts those remixes of previous themes w/ new vocals are fucking fire
@@r1tzie_rino I cannot agree more, those are some of my favorite parts as well :)
One detail you missed that I feel is very significant is that in Metamorphosis (Awakened Mahito’s theme) that the last section of it has the same tragic/calamitic leitmotif as Thunderclap (Sukuna’s theme). Which symbolizes Mahito becoming another natural calamity or danger like Sukuna.
Resolve along with the ost playing during Getwo’s monologue at the end are my favorite pieces this season
1:12:57 It is also a variation of an S1 track called "Liar" which is the track of the sisters Maki and Mai. I loved the video, finally I found someone who pays attention to the soundtrack in general! Keep making them, personally I would like one of Frieren or Vinland Saga.
As far as I remember there is another variation, called "Beyond Sacrifice" timestamp 00:49
@@BangNoer69 Maybe, it only sounds at the Junpei moment.
when that first trailer came out for season two i had it on repeat just to listen
This video is insanely well-made for such a "small" channel. You deserve 100k subs at least!
It's got masterpiece written all over it. Such a unique & outstanding ost. My favorite will always be 3 years of youth. The sadness of seeing your dead best friend being used as a puppet. Gojo went through too much man. Almost as much as yuji
Omg someone who loves listening to soundtracks as much as I do! I love JJKs soundtrack. You put a lot of thoughts I had about it into words.
As for why it’s called premature. The Japanese title of the Gojo past arc translates to jade that holds potential/ jade that breaks. The first part refers to Gojo (jade that holds potential) and the second to Geto (jade that break). I’m not sure why the translator uses hidden inventory but I think premature death refers to the jade that breaks part of the title which refers to Geto’s fall specifically. The song play when Geto decides to double down on his BS so title refers to Geto’s metaphorical ”premature death”.
Also, and I’m extrapolating here, the English title for the arc seems to maybe extend the premature death to everyone in the arc which is true in a way. Everyone dies that day. Riko, Toji, and Kuroi literally; Gojo and Geto metaphorically. So the song may represent when all of the repercussions of the day set in, especially for Geto.
Amazing video! This deserves way more views but i guess people just aren't cool enough to appreciate OST's.
I have NEVER seen JJK, don't even know what the plots about, but this video was really good at explaining what each song meant to convey and its purpose. I definitely have to agree on how good it is!
Fun fact: Cannibalism is legal in the US although the gathering of said bodies for consumption is the hard part for cannibalism. Therefore, if you are put into a dangerous scenario at risk of starving to death, it is legal to consume your friend (cursed spirit) and survive.
This video through both your great storytelling and deconstruction of these soundtracked has shown me musical creativity and depth within myself that I haven't seen in ages! Thanks for putting so much effort into this and all your other works Heralen
YES! I've been waiting soo long for a video talking about this. It's literally one of my favorite music projects of all time.
insanely well made analysis. so glad i subbed to u so this came in my recommended.
Great content, appreciate your effort, insight and analysis on this masterpiece. the inserts and memes in between are funny, it balances everything. Thanks
YESSSSS dude tysm for this!! Literally all of this video has been circling my mind for god knows how long!
Love your humor and editing style!!
37:13 OH MY GOD DRUMROLL TONY MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I LOVE HIS VIDEOS
and i gotta say im absolutely LOVING this one!!!!! amazing job
When the man ai todo started playing I was chanting long with the quire wiping tears off my face. I binge watched jjk, all of it, like yesterday
Everyone gives the show’s animation so much praise and overlook everything else, so glad to see someone put in so much time and effort into explaining how well done the music was. Great video, subbed!
I didnt know i wanted a video (audio?) essay like this, but now i do. More analyses about other properties too, please
this is genuinely the most best and personal fave youtube videos ive watched. like you really just get this soundtrack in the same way i do and that ive rarely seen in the jjk community for some reason
Thanks so much for the video really liked this one exploring the different leitmotifs and what not of the jjk s2 arc gj
This was such a good video! It deserves so much more attention! Im also happy I wasnt the only one that loves the OST so much too. I feel the music and how its used is very overlooked and people just think it of as some generic shonen OST. But JKK literally has one of my fav anime osts and its used sooo well throughout the show. Awesome vid!
enjoyed watching this during a long drive back home ❤❤❤🎉🎉 AND YES I LOVE THESE SOUNDTRACKS TOO. APPRECIATE YOU FOR APPRECIATING THE AMAZING SOUNDTRACKS !!! AND MAKING THIS LONG VIDEO FOR EACH AND EVERY SOUNDTRACK OF JJK S2 🎉 ❤ I love JJK ❤
this video is so perfect i love geeking out abt soundtracks and jjk's soundtrack is truly exceptional
You dropped this, bro 👑
I already loved the soundtrack of season 2, but you made me understand the motifs of it all
Amazing video! I'm glad theres a in depth analysis of this stuff cuz I also love nerding out about OSTs.
One thing I noticed is that "Your Battle is My Battle" also played when Megumi and Yuji were fighting together. That was a great way to reinforce their friendship
I really love this video. Makes me really want to hear your analysis of other anime soundtracks like Frieren. I’d absolutely watch that.
Amazing video. Enjoyed every bit of it. Yoshimasa Terui and Gosso need more recognition for the music in s2
Bro the amount of My Hero Academia soundtracks that cause me to straight up hallucinate the scenes they're from in my head is crazy, thank you for acknowledging this phenomenon 😆
I've been sleeping on JJK's OST and I will rectify this the next time I log in to spotify. I don't even watch the show but I'm going through the albums asap.
Holy crap, loved this analysis. Keep up the great work!
I was literally looking for a video EXACTLY like this a day before you uploaded this. Coincidences are crazy
Thank you for putting all these observations together so I can release them from my own headspace! The soundtrack is so good but I couldn’t get it out of my head because there was so much to appreciate so listening to this was super cathartic
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THIS. I was looking for something on the soundtrack because I just finished the anime and jesus christ, the soundtrack was one of the highlights. like there are SO many songs from the soundtrack in my liked playlist that i just put on and imagine the scenes. they're so powerful. ty for this amazing food
Well made video with a ton of effort. Love your content.
thank you for touching on the topic of the soundtrack literally not even the fans have been discussing about it the most important thing in an anime, to me, is the soundtrack and the usage and this is one of the main reasons why JJK has slipped itself into my top 5 from the themes, characters, and the music i love an emotional roller coaster and the soundtrack is a great reflection of that
this series really does have so many strong aspects outside of just visuals, im glad we recognise how well the music is composed too.
I just finished your video and absolutely loved how you broke down and highlighted aspects of the OST I never thought of. If you liked the OST for Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren’s also got amazing soundtracks of its own. I’m only halfway through but it’s been one hell of an emotional roller coaster.
I´m so glad to hear someone talk about this OST with such care and passion, that´s something that was´really missing in YT. I´m studying music to be a composer and I learned a lot from this video, ty!
1:12:59 'Jujutsu Sorcerer Nobara Kugisaki', I swear sounds exactly like the track 'The twins quick' from Haikyuu season 4 (Literally 28 seconds into it is where to look for the Haikyuu one.) You wouldn't know they were from two different animes.
Then there's another track from Haikyuu season 4 as well, 'Targeting Kenma' which the piano is ridiculously similar to JJK's 'Arrogance'. 18:29
I haven't seen anyone mention it so this is the perfect video to share this with.
Amazing video!! the soundtrack for this show is absolutely insane and I love videos analyzing them and showing me details I didn't even realize. Would love to see more soundtrack analysis videos from other animes as well! (possibly AOT👀) if you're down, but thank you so much for this! :)
This is a great analysis and video, I really wish you talked about No Hesitation as well for the Hidden Inventory Arc, it wasnt used, which is a shame because it's amazing.
im going to absolutely spam some notes in this comment so please conversate with me below, or ignore me, thank you!
in vs toji: the thematic comparison you mention on with rage is exactly tied to jujutsu sorcerers as a whole, not just the fights in this arc, as everyone is trained by nature to control their negative emotions (rage) and use the cursed energy efficiently and effectively rather than blowing it all off and spiraling. actually so crazy genius, ive always been fascinated by that section and how it somehow always worked in the SEVEN times they used it
in goodbye geto: i dont know if im remembering exactly correctly, but the name of episode 5 (mini arc) premature death, is a weird translation thing, and in japanese the meaning is a lot more pronounced. im pretty sure it refers to the premature death of talent, in this case, geto, turning evil and eventually dying before reaching his full potential. you can afflict premature death to so many things in this arc too, such as their friendship, gojo's death, amani's death, ect ect. but the song called premature is just referring to the arc name
in gojo gets sealed: with rage again!! doing exactly what i described before. in the moment gojo is supposed to be (as being explained by the spirits) losing his composure, and he does exactly what the song does with the C section and uses it masterfully, as he is gojo after all. the rage in his voice as he chants his domain, the absolute shock, such a good scene. realizing now that its important the song is "with" rage, because its not pure rage, its just as intended, with rage. for 3 years of youth overflowing, its specifically referring to the condition of the prison realm where a minute must pass within a captee's mind, and with how fast gojo's brain moves and how shocking it is to see your dead best friend again, that whole 3 years overflows and effectively gets him captured.
in yuji vs choso: im already excited this is my favorite part of the season 2 music arsenal, but before i get to that i just wanna mention how crazy it is yet again that they can use with rage so many times, it work perfectly each time, and still not get old. also, never noticed mechamaru's theme in this fight that is so sick, went straight over my head, and ALSO never noticed the gojo motif in red scale which is weird... but OKAY, RESOLVE OH MY GOD. literally my favorite musical moment of season 2. on that fateful JJK tuesday, already hyped to see the adaptation of this fight, hearing that familiar horn melody blast in gave me CHILLS man, and the drums again with the twist, sent me over the top i was geeking for days. its so nicely done and ties in so amazingly perfect with the lore and continues to serve the lore even in chapters coming out today (iykyk, if we get a third version of remember/resolve whenever tf its adapted i will have a stroke). you didnt really mention the thematics of it, but the choice is specifically this song because choso is fighting for his brothers from that episode, and is foreshadowing choso being yuji's brother at the same time. such an amazing callback, it pains me that a lot of the reaction channels i watched paid the music no mind (some picked it up at the drums but thats a lot more obvious ofc) okay ill shut up now.
in zombie daddy: just a small note, i absolutely adore the section of the song that the cowbell comes in. so modern gigachad meme sounding, it works so well and whether or not they included that because of the phonk genre type thing or they just thought it sounded cool, its so good.
SUKUNA: i love the phrase "the sukuna choir" its so sick how they gave him not a theme, not a motif, but a set of instruments; the dissonant choir, the echoey wooden drum sounds, the echoey raw bells, all of it with the ancient japanese flavor, its so perfect for him as a reincarnated overwhelming antagonist. thunderclap is SOOOOO GOOD, the second those drums started ripping i was HEADBANGING, it was so perfect i was LOCKED in. all the melodies across all the sukuna songs are crafted so insanely well, the emotion and the haunting mixed just right, masterful. OH MY GOD YOU NOTICED THE ASHES ON THE FIRE PART I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE LOL. ugh the choir coming in on the domain expansion, truly iconic. anyways FUUUUUGA
obligatory RIP to nanami. 💔
in right and wrong: nobara's theme is amazing im so sad we only hear it once, it better come back in the coming seasons. reminds me of some sort of day theme from a grassy level in a modern day sonic game. chefs kiss. watching reactors' faces shrivel up as they hear the music slow down and distort was so (evilly) fulfilling as a manga reader, it couldnt have been much better of a way to signal the situation's gone from awful to horrible to devastating yet again. the chair metaphor as a callback yet again to the final episode of season 1, telling yuji about how she only has so many seats in her life... ugh i miss her. anyways 👏 TODODOOOOOO i LOVE that man and i LOVE his theme that comes in, ugh it was everything i could ever wanted. and to top if off the absolute BOPPER of a version of boogie woogie that comes in is just peak yet again. tears in my eyes every single time i watch the first yuji black flash... "ill make sure i take on your share of suffering too, nanamin." TEARS. another abrupt switch but only fucking todo would get this kind of treatment in a show. they coordinated the direction team, animators, AND composers to casually come up with an anime opening song comparable to mainstream standard for a schizo domain expansion. love it. no words. though i don't dislike a single musical choice in the yuji vs mahito episodes, im truly saddened no hesitation didn't make it into the fight, as for some reason it was in the gojo past OST and never used (ive been told a small segment was used but i could never find it) throughout the entire season. that song is amazing and i think the energy would fit so well in the fight, obviously not as a climax moment but as part of the inbetween action segment/s.
the end: once again, ugh, hurt. the melody on all 3 versions is just perfection, most definitely my favorite from the series, whether its slow and somber, or loud and triumphant ITS NOT RIGHT OR WRONG ITS NOT RIGHT OR WROOO OOO OOOONG, peak. i didnt even know the final song wasnt released, lets call it thematic genius as it symbolizes the dark that our main cast is left in, with nowhere to run or hide, and having more information fed to them leaving them more confused than ever.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO i loved this video sm thank you, i took the title so crazy literally and i hope you dont mind an essay in your comments. i resonate with your words at the end, and though its been years and im still only ankle deep into anime, i love exploring this culture and im so excited for whats to come. i have my eyes out for more jujutsu kaisen, chainsaw man, and eventually hopefully maybe sakamoto days. big hopes for good musics on the way 🤞 love the content i may or may not visit all your other videos here soon (its 4:30am as im typing this) and yeah thank you again please give me an A+ on this comment bye bye now
this comment absolutely gets an A+ from me 🫶
@@Heralen YIPPEEE
A personal favorite soundtrack of mine is from Re:Zero. Each ost is extremely unique and about 90% of them have immense meaning behind them. My favorite ost out of all of them however has to be Requiem of Silence, one of the best ost’s out there.
Awesome video!
This analysis style of yours is so fucking nice, i'm watching this third time and wish more people were not afraid to make longer materials
I'm so glad you made this video! Every time I listened to the ost I caught so many interesting details, especially the more subtle character leitmotifs, and I wished someone would make a video talking about it, so thank you! This was a joy to watch!
Now here are the answers I tried giving for your questions plus some comments (sorry, it got a bit long):
21:03 "Premature" is a nod to the title of the second part of this arc, named "Premature Death". Gojo's past arc is divided in two parts as it's title shows: "Hidden Inventory/Premature Death", and the episode titles tell us which part we're in. The first four episodes are "Hidden Inventory" parts 1 to 4, and episode 5, aka the "Geto goes through it" arc, is called "Premature Death". Now I'm not quite sure why give that name to this specific track, but since it plays in Geto's last scene in this arc about him, and the scene itself is what we could call the "conclusion" to Geto's transformation, I think it's pretty fitting.
32:02 I'm pretty sure (or hope) this will become Fake Geto's theme, or at the very least leitmotif, It was also used when he showed up to "help" Mahito, and I think it fits this character very well.
48:50 I think they did it because Yuuji's ear was cut, maybe it was from the attack whooshing past his ear so fast that it muffled his hearing for a bit or maybe the pain/shock from the cut did it. Also, I may be imagining it but listening with headphones, it seems sliiightly more muffled in the right ear, where Yuuji was hit.
52:51 that "unsettling, disorienting thing" is the beginning of Toji's actual theme (track 5 "Toji Fushiguro"), with what seems like a metallic sound added to it to make it more disorienting, showing that the real Toji is regaining control.
1:07:17 I would like to offer another way to interpret this. It sounds like the percussion instruments and rhythms you'd hear at a Buddhist ceremony in a Buddhist temple/shrine. Malevolent Shrine itself derives it's appearance from a Buddhist temple and in Japan, as far as I could tell, the temples that still worship Ryomen Sukuna seem to be Buddhist temples.
(slight spoilers) In the manga, we see a flashback of Sukuna attending the harvest festival in a Shinto Shrine, but the religious nature of these festivals seems to have stemmed from Buddhism (in Japan the two religions sort of coexist so it makes sense for Sukuna to be associated with both).
So instead of invoking a primal, warring nature, I would argue it instead invokes a godly nature of something that should be worshipped, which goes in line with the domain expansion Malevolent Shrine being "a truly divine technique".
If you read this far, thanks a lot 😊 And btw The Sukuna choir has got to be my fave 😆Before Sukuna showed up in season 2 I was crossing my fingers hoping that they would keep it. Sukuna's theme was one of my favorite tracks from the season 1 ost and I'm so glad they kept the essentials while expanding it.
Edit: I was writing this comment as I watched the video, so some of these things were probably already mentioned in the comments, so sorry if it seems like I'm repeating others.
I desperately need more videos covering anime soundtracks like this 😭 the jjk soundtrack was amazing and this review and the discussions are so deserved
First time I see your channel and wow what a video man, seriously well done
This was an amazing video as a music lover and allowed me to connect with this soundtrack better than I would have been able to on my own. Thank you for your hard work. I'm sure this was ALOT to edit and create.
Thanks so much!!
holy my man just dropped the bomb of videos :0
Thank you very much for this video. This helped me to enjoy the show a lot more.
This video needs more recognition. Thanks for your time researching and analyzing!!!!
Thanks so much!!
Finally some love for anime soundtracks!! Thank you!
I personally got into them thanks to Sawano's work on Attack on Titan, in the first three seasons. It absolutely blew me away.
I’m so happy u made a video about this 🔥🔥
I'm only 5 minutes in so far and I'm not super knowledgeable about music, although I am a huge anime music fan, but I'm absolutely loving HOW you explain each song and the elements involved in them. Super accessible, understandable and engaging!
Pog video. Loved every second of it.
This is such a well made video cant wait for more bangers 🦅🦅
Bro I'm not even half way done with the video and it's already great. I can tell you reeeaally love the music like a lot of us do. Excited to see what you do next, hopefully cover even more cool soundtracks.
banger video and banger analysis for a banger soundtrack!
Finally I see someone acknowledging how amazing this soundtrack is
I was obsessed with both S1 and S2 OSTs for the latter half of last year frfr S2 with youtubers remixes before the official released then it did released it was like falling in love with S2 all over again. And omg im glad you started with Limited Cursed Technique! I loved the Jazz feel to it and it absolutely slaps to Gojo personality, as you said it follows him throughout the season. The whole image is beautiful with the music. Anyways definitely my favorite ❤ ofc there are other bangers... omg "Still Unaware" to me was similar to "If I am with you" but Tojis theme. Theres alot to comment but Sukuna theme reminded me of Nier... like when it was summon to the real world where the snow ash killed all humans and replicant begins, like bells but not theyre the steel drums. It gives that unholiness that is Sukuna and destruction.
Thank you for this amazing video
This vid was hella funny im subbed
He's back!
thank you, won’t yap about how much i love this ost, just thank you
Absolutely love your in-depth breakdown the wonderful JJK OST, it's such a super concept ! Really hope you will do more of those, maybe revisiting Haikyuu OST in a similar manner or Frieren's OST if you loved it as well
I’m a minute In and already love this video. Keep the love for anime soundtracks alive my man!
dude you summed everything up perfectly. i couldnt find myself disagreeing with anything you said lol. keep at it.
you are a legend for covering all of this - i love you (wait wat)
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for so long let’s fucking go 😭😭😭
Glad to see i'm not the only one that went crazy listening to the while ost lmao
Fantastic video
I'm so happy you made this!! The jjk soundtrack is what really elevates the show to meeting the hype
How do you not have over 100k subs, an hour and a half of banger content, absolutely incredible
Also my favorite song from season 2 would be no hesitation, physical prowess, or resolve, and of course if I am with you
Edit: also all of the Sukuna songs, god damn this season had so many bangers
