@@lor84881 Yeah, Shimomura composed pretty much the entirety of the Live A Live soundtrack. If you've played Street Fighter II (which she also composed, btw), themes like Knock You Down might sound familiar.
It does! I'm not a fan, but I still agree. There are many gems out there that could certainly go for some more recognition. We wouldn't want to forget them!
as someone who has finished live a live (but have not gotten every ending sadly) i can confirm that you (in the words of lowtiergod) SERVE EVERY PURPOSE, AND YOU SHOULD PLAY LIVE A LIVE NOW!!!
This classic SNES JRPG deserves all the love it can get That was absolutely incredible Thanks for giving some attention to a old but quite forgotten game
Fun Fact: This song was actually the origin of Megalovania. Toby Fox meant to use it in its Earthbound Hack as the final boss theme but due to problems, if I remember correctly, he scrapped the idea and created Megalovania
Well it’s not *just* this song, the song was more heavily inspired by a song named Gadobadorrer from Brandish 2 (it’s painfully obvious if you listen to Gadobadorrer, but honestly it kinda makes sense considering all the Brandish references in the Halloween Hack)
I got the remake on the Switch of Live A Live and heard this music in game and it gave me goose bumps. And then I found out about this. Oh my God this is so good!
Anyone else here after the announcement of the remake? I can't wait for this game to find a lot more fans now that it's being officially brought to the US!
@@lunaticgreen_2342 Considering one has almost 720k views while the other has over 50M views say which one is thr most popular. Of 10 people, 9 will recognize Megalovania and probably 5 out of those 9 will know that Toby Fox wanted to use Megalomania originally for his hack but he decided to make an original theme.
If I wasn’t DMing for DND right now I would drop everything and listen to this. I’ve requested this before and I’m so thankful for you doing this, Jonny!
This is when you contrive some way to have a surprise encounter so you can turn this on a battle music as an excuse to listen to it yourself during the session.
You knew what you were doing with that shirt choice, Jonny. Silliness aside, absolutely phenomenal cover! I definitely remember this one from the SNES Medley, and it's good to hear it in its full glory!
No way! I thought everyone had forgotten about this game! I'm glad you remember it, it's such a great game. The OG Octopath Traveler. Also obligatory Gatling Gun joke. Leaving my typical Aeon's Devil Gundam from MS Saga request. Now that I think about it, it'd fit pretty well in a future Side Quests album!
Without a doubt, you are quite talented and prolific. But I gotta say, you REALLY nailed this song. No joke, not to overinflate your ego, but your track should have been in the remaster, it blows the new official arrangement out of the water. always a good listen.
Ideas for incarnations of Odio for a sequel: Ice age: O di oh Ancient Egypt: Odehut Rome: Emperor Odium Crusader era: Oday ibn Omar Pirate age: Olly Dio WW2: Odin Olderdissen 90's: Oh Dio mío Modern: Oda Ionius Apocalypse: 0DD-10 virus.
Renaissance age : Odette de Ogden ( somehow it can be read similarly to Odeo ) Would be hilarious if one of Odio's incarnation happen to be a female , and a cruel mistress at that.

@@Hadaron Oh, its even more engrish if you listen to the singer they get for the memoria album, but thats why I love it. Especially given how symbolic the lyrics are.
Playing LiveAEvil can be a love and hate relationship. The combat was not well explained but really it served as your conveyor belt to the story that fueled our interest. Then you listen to the boss track and see who composed it, you can't help but fall even more in love. Thank you Shimomura and GaMetal for the cover.
Christ I hope SE leaves your version of this song alone. Megalomania uploads have been getting struck off YT left and right. This counts as transformative!
I've already commented, most likely, but I learned today that this is one of the tracks of all time for speeding excessively on the highway while delivering walmart groceries
Fun fact: when toby fox was making his classic earthbound halloween hack he was going to use megalomania for the final boss theme, but for some reason, it wouldn't work correctly. So he made an entirely new track. You may have heard of it. it's called MEGALOVANIA
I never played the original game, but I saw a playthrough of a touhou fangame called Touhou a Live (I think). It is practically Live a Live but with Touhou characters and some of the of the Live a Live characters after the original story. I don't know much about this game, but the music is awesome and this remix is amazing! Great Job as always!
Back after the remake being released to build more hype for this amazing tune. When I hear it in game it always brings me back to this amazing Cover. Hope to hear more cover for this game for the future.
You know how people all over the internet are going insane, seeing basic objects as Among Us crewmates That's me but with anything Undertale related Example: The title of this song

(See what i did there)
True
The Hidden Gem just got the treatment it deserved recently :)
Fun Fact: This song was actually the origin of Megalovania. Toby Fox meant to use it in its Earthbound Hack as the final boss theme but due to problems, if I remember correctly, he scrapped the idea and created Megalovania

I’m willing to bet this video’s going to get a boost, thanks to the LIVE A LIVE remake announcement!
I love when you get the ad for the same thing being presented in the video. Just got the add for the remake
Heavenly peak descend!
I got the remake on the Switch of Live A Live and heard this music in game and it gave me goose bumps. And then I found out about this. Oh my God this is so good!
Let us all celebrate the second coming!! Live-A-Live is coming to the west!!!
This cover slaps harder than O.Dio's gatling gun
And you can't beat a gatling gun
There are 999 reasons why we'll always lose to a gattling gun
But we have just 5 reasons to win against it, and they are... Bourbon, Tequila, Cigar, Molotov cocktail and Dynamite
Anyone else here after the announcement of the remake? I can't wait for this game to find a lot more fans now that it's being officially brought to the US!
I'm so hyped for the Switch remake of this!! Can't wait to play it for the first time
Not to be confused with Megalovania, of course. Solid pick!
And for some of the clips he even put a Sans shirt on just to rub it in
@@lunaticgreen_2342 I'd say that, while Megalovania itself isn't as good as this, Andonuts' Rage is definitely equal, in both quality and feel.

Megalomania > Megalovania. Enough said.
You sire, are 100% right.
I hate fan wars. Shut up. Both good.

So hyped for this game's official debut in the west!

No matter the time or place, there's always someone who wants to rule everything.
Coming of of the direct today. I did not see this game ever making it here. Thanks for making this game known to me! Can’t wait for it on switch!
No way! I thought everyone had forgotten about this game! I'm glad you remember it, it's such a great game. The OG Octopath Traveler.
Also obligatory Gatling Gun joke.
Leaving my typical Aeon's Devil Gundam from MS Saga request. Now that I think about it, it'd fit pretty well in a future Side Quests album!
I never expected a cover of this awesome JRPG 😮
Knowing Jonny, it was meant t to happen.
I'm betting the views on this spiked dramatically after that last Direct
I am FUCKING HYPED
SMTIV, Phantasy Star IV and now Live A Live back to back, this is amazing !! I'm looking forward to the next remix !
Yeah, all these hidden gems make me so happy
TEN MONTHS LATER!

So who's hyped for the remake?
This one's gonna have way more visits now with the remake
Today I learned that Yoko Shimomura composed music in Live A Live. Man, how many franchises has she composed music in?
