I cleared Mega Man Zero 4 the other day and it was a roller-coaster. This piece in particular is one of the most epic, yet heart-rending in the entire Mega Man Zero tetrology.
Remaking a Rockman Zero piece without a guitar is really interesting. The instruments used in this version of Falling Down, make the song sound more tense. This version really fits the boss fight just as much as the original arrangement. This is amazing!
Yes, everyone ! Thank you for watching and message ! I've contributed a few songs to MMZ4, but are there any other songs you would like to hear a self-cover remake? If so, please tell me the song title. I don't know if it can be done, but I would like to refer to it.
It makes me really happy to hear that! To hear any song self-covered by you would be a pleasure, but I think the most iconic and fan favourite songs from Z4 may be Esperanto, Straight Ahead and Fate. Personally I really like Power Field and Max Heat. But it's really tough to choose, especially from a game full of masterpieces such as Z4!
For everyone who wants to suggest songs, but aren't completely sure. Mr. Itakura's works aside from "Falling Down" are as follows: "Blackheart Beat" "Deep Blue" "Cage of Tyrant" and "Crossover Station." This information came from MusicBrainz, I hope it's accurate.
“I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!”
H O W HOW CAN THE ORIGINAL COMPOSER OF THIS AMAZING TRACK MAKE AN EPIC COVER OF HIS OWN SONG This is one of the best megaman tracks IF NOT OF ALL GAMES!!!!! AND YOUR COVER MAKES IT EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!
Trust the original composer to capture everything that makes their own song so great. One of the most memorable and well-suited songs for one of the most memorable moments. A race against time in one final fight. A final sendoff to one of the greatest heroes, doing what he always did: facing down the enemy that appears before him, and destroying it, for the sake of those he believes in.
This has to be one of the greatest final boss themes I've come across. The final is definitely more impactful with the guitar, but this still brings chills.
When I first beat MMZ4, I thought that final fight was insanely epic. Your music seriously set the tone perfectly, for what was at stake and what was about to happen.
A song that truly captures the feeling of a last stand... A defiant battle against time, as the last hope of all life, robotic AND humanoid, rides on one last warrior, willing to cast his life away in the name of the future. I may have played through the Zero games in the wrong order as a kid... But the impact of this battle stuck with me as one of the coolest 'final' battles. And this music, is why. Your self cover is fantastic. Thank you for the original, AND this.
This song, the fight it’s for, the ending that comes after, they are very important to me and I love them dearly Thanks so much for helping make Zero 4 such a special game to us all ❤
This really brings back memories. I remember this theme so well due to the final battle being so tense. When I finally beat it as a kid, I cried when I realized Zero sacrificed himself to save humanity lol. Your music is incredibly beautiful, and helped make the game a masterpiece. Thank you so much for your work!
You avoided using guitar on this one, because otherwise this cover would have been so good that the planet would fucking explode from the uncomprehendable epicness. Take notes, Weil. Jokes aside, great rendition! Cannot thank you enough for giving us such marvelous themes.
I never thought i would see the actual composer playing! Man, you created a masterpiece! Probably the best final boss song of all time! Btw, you self cover kinda reminded me of Jon Lord of Deep Purple!
Aaaaah, i thought so! I kinda felt like i was listening to Deep Purple! hahaha Well, can't blame you. They are awesome! Anyways, i really loved the idea of the composer itself playing a song, specially such a song that shed many tears due to how awesome it was! Your job is amazing, mate! ❤
Falling Down will always stand out as one of the most epic pieces I've ever had the privilidge of playing to. I am legitimately curious what goes through your mind whenever you play it? What made this powerful theme come to life?
Thank you so much !! I'm glad you said that !! When I was making the song, I didn't have detailed information about my biggest enemy. I also imagined that it would be a highly difficult battle. Therefore, I decided to express the difficulty level with complex phrases and time signatures.
One of my all time favorite battle themes and fights in megaman history... and remixed b the man who made it.. this is one of the best recommends youtube has given me. Awesome work on both versions.
you are a legend shin, remember this till the day you die, the fans of MegaMan zero like me and so many others, and the ones who just like the song will remember you, and the beautiful work you make, be sure to have a good life, and work hard for what you believe in, thank you for gracing this world!
I doubt I can come up with anything that hasn't already been said to you across all those comment sections, where decades of people complimented your work for the masterpiece it is. For someone who only knew about this being a final battle, it fit so unbelievably well. Thanks for everything.
The music in Mega Man Zero is so good! It was very limited on Game Boy Advance so it's my favorite to hear remasters/covers of. This is probably my favorite final boss song from any Mega Man game!
"Falling Down (Mega Man Zero 4) - Mega Man Zero Reborn Tetralogy." Don't know why something like that popped up in my mind when listening to this, but hey, now that I'm thinking about it... Capcom, I just gave you an idea, your move.
I still remember buying MMZ4 many many years ago and being blown away be the AMAZING music in not only MMZ4 but the entire series. This track always stood out to me and still gives me chills after all these years! Thank you for this wonderful music that I still enjoy well into my adulthood !!
Bro... se que esto no esta en ingles, pero realmente es un gusto encontrarme con el compositor original de esta obra maestra, la banda sonora de megaman zero 4 es realmente una de las mejores de toda la saga de megaman, y personalmente mi favorita (mas que el megaman zero 3 incluso), desde las musicas de los niveles, holy land y entre otros son temas que le dan demasiada vida a este juego, y este tema final, DIOS!!!, es una obra maestra de final boss, que hace sentir la tensión del momento en que representaste, un tema digno para acabar con esta saga. Espero que te valla bien aqui en RUclips, te ganaste un suscritor más!! Xd
Oh man, didn't expect to actually find the composer on RUclips. I absolutely love this song and the melancholy and nostalgia it transmits. Do you have, by any chance, the guitar tab on this song? Cheers!
Thank you so much !! I'm glad you said that !! I'm sorry. There is no guitar tab. There are several videos that cover with the guitar, but probably they copied them themselves !!
As an amateur composer, I can't say anything less than praise you with deep admiration. Your songs give me chills like no other since my youth. Thank you so much for inspiring me on so many ways thorugh your soul moving composions. I'm working to someday be able to compose songs so deep as yours. 日本語はすこしだけ話すことができます。だができるだけいたくらさんの母語で憧れの気持ちを表したいと思いました。Ita-shinが作った感動的な曲や作曲家としての能力は心から感心しています。一般的なブラジル人より
Falling Down is one hell of a sendoff boss battle theme for the Mega Man Zero series! The tense tone of the song, packed together with the final battle against Dr. Weil on the falling Ragnarok with the countdown set, makes the moment ever more beautiful in my eyes!
The piano gives a more blood pumping and high energy feeling in this version truly incredible. One of my favorite final boss themes from one of my favorite videogame series is given more love and its awesome to see it.
I remember seeing you on GalMetal's Falling down cover about a year ago, and I must say I never in a million years expected you to make a cover of it yourself. I'm glad you did! I love the rolling notes in the cover, as it gives it a ton of character and by making it with (primarily) the keyboard it managed to keep the intensity but also keeps a level of simplicity that a lot of composers tend to overlook. It's not so busy that it's impossible to keep track of what's happening. Clean, crisp, and clear. Three great elements to have on a song that's so high energy! Like it was on the GBA, this is a version of the song that's final boss worthy! I'm now subscribed and looking forward to what you drop next!
@@ita-shin When it's ready, it's ready I understand. Looking forward to seeing what comes next whenever it drops! Be it in a day, week, month, year, etc. All I'm going to ask for is that you take care of yourself and don't suffer burnout or creative fatigue. It's really easy to do that here on RUclips. (I know that from experience after having it happen several times over the years.)
This was one of the greatest final battles in all of video gaming and your soundtrack was an integral part of that. Falling Down captures the unique narrative qualities of this scene flawlessly, simply writing another more intense boss battle track would not have done the scene justice - it had to be this exact composition.
No way! This is really amazing! That Sawtooth fits incredible well! I'm surprised, you really made it rock without needing a Guitar. Please, keep it good, you're a master!
this has always and probably will forever be my favorite song across all of the Megaman series as a whole! Thank you for making such an amazing , intense, and emotionally driving song for one of my favorite characters ever! I hope someday I get successful enough to hire you for a song for one of my games!
Someone asked me to cover your fantastic track. I won't do any shameless plug here, so hope you enjoy my mix. Still amateur, so forgive me for any error I made.
It definitely feels weird without the guitar, but for a full keyboard cover you still did an amazing job. I mean, it's kinda hard to argue against the dude who made the song in the first place lmao. Also man, that final fight aboard the Ragnarok station as it plummets down into the planet's atmosphere is probably the single greatest moment in all of Mega Man history. For simple little GBA games, the Zero series was absolutely cracked, and the music was a big part of that. Thanks for that ♥
Since when i was a child,i got so amazed in the moment of the last battle, it was really captured through your masterpiece, thankyou for all those memories you've been giving, youre a living legend.
You composed one of the most epic video game tracks ever, I still remember my heartbeat increasing in the final battle with this song in the background. It fitted so well.
This theme will always be amazing. It perfectly conveys that this is the final showdown and you'll do whatever it takes to put a stop to Dr. Weil, even if it means going maverick in the process.
This has to be my favorite final boss theme in the megaman series. I'd have loved for it to have returned with a remix in the ZX games the way Cannon Ball did. You did such a wonderful job with this song.
This is the best cover of a Mega Man Zero track I've ever heard, you're the best man! Could you do a cover of "Esperanto" the track of the same game for the Area Zero level? That's my favorite and I think you could do it great, well if you can obviously.
Thank you so much !! I'm glad you said that !! Unfortunately, "Esperanto" is a song by another composer. However, it may be possible to make a cover. I will think about it.
Thank you for your comments in Japanese !! I'm glad you said that !! It has been almost 20 years since this game was released, but please enjoy the game and music in the future !!
@@ita-shin increíble su amabilidad y paciencia para responder comentarios en otro idioma y eso que pasaron 2 décadas desde que salió el juego junto a este fantástica música gracias de todo corazón y curiosamente nací el mismo año que el Zero 4, en 2004!!
The lack of guitars actually made the music sound more like the classic Megaman X SNES melodies that I grew up with, and it's nostalgic. This was amazing Mr. Itakura! Falling Down will always be one of my favorite MMZ tracks ever, thank you!
Literally crying over this self-cover. It’s PERFECT! The original guitar is amazing, but the nob you used for the subtle “wah” on that synth completes the slightly sorrowful undertone of the song. It drove it home so hard, I cried! Please keep it up!!!
@@ita-shin Of course! A teacher in college used to have that exact same device you're using for it! Makes me want to get my own and make music again~ Anyways thank you for this! Can't wait to hear more music! :D
Oh wow,I did not know this existed. Found this on accident while listening to the series' soundtrack again and despite never fully finishing any of the games,the soundtrack always left an impression on me so this is a cool find.
This was the first Megaman game I ever actually managed to beat. I wish I had been skilled enough to play these games in order before the Legacy Collection, but that's all in the past now. What isn't stuck in the past is my love for the game and it's soundtrack, something I feel I could never express enough.
You did a phenomenal job! This was amazing. One of the first games I ever played was the mega man zero collection on the DS and I still think that the Zero 4 has the best soundtrack ever! Thank you so much for making the soundtrack for Zero 4.
for me, even till this this day. This music is just legendary and I can't thank you enough for composing the soundtracks in megaman zero 4. They're all very awesome
I remember beating Weil in his first form. I had clear memories of MMZ3 Cannon Ball being an absolute banger. I thought at that moment...How can this final boss song top that? And my surprise was huge when hearing this fantastic song combined with Zero's speech. Megaman in general has a lot of great songs, but this one is the culmination of the story of Classic - X - Zero timeline. This was peak and it is my favorite final boss song. Just wanted to thank you for this great composition!
This is one of my favorite songs in many years of playing video games. It makes the heart pound, and gets the blood boiling to this day! This cover is excellent!
I was 8 years old when I played Zero 4 for the first time. I got to the end and heard this song, and immediately got goosebumps. Thank you so much for this composition Itakura-san, Falling Down is one of the best songs from the Zero series, and throughout the Mega Man franchise!
Hearing you do this is marvelous, I'm a long time Mega Man Fan, every time I hear this song I feel a sense of emotion because of the story in Zero 4 being so dramatic, and the best way it could've ended. I think the lack of a guitar puts it in line with the later X games. I love this, thank you so much.
Falling Down still sends chills down my spine so many years after first hearing it. This has just intensified that feeling ten-fold. Amazing, amazing work! Always adored MMZ4's soundtrack!
Thank you for compose one the best songs in videogame history! Your self-covers really gives a new vibe to the songs, and I love it! You are one of my inspirations along with the sound team at Capcom and Inti Creates.. really, I don't know what my life could be without all your music and games. So thank you for all your work in the past years! Big regards from Chile!
Hola, muchas felicidades por tu increíble trabajo, y sobre todo, por crear esta épica y emocionante melodía para Megaman Zero 4, uno de mis juegos de Megaman preferidos. Saludos desde Perú.
This. Is. AMAZING!!! This fits Weil's character really well because I always thought that he would play the organ!! Thank you for this amazing cover! Personally, I would like to see a "Cool hearted fellow" cover.
oh man this another song from the series finally that really captures the final battle against weil. Thank you for posting this making me relive my childhood
This is seriously amazing. Falling down is one of the most epic compositions of the zero series. Please make more, I'm such of huge fan of the z4 soundtrack!!!
I cleared Mega Man Zero 4 the other day and it was a roller-coaster. This piece in particular is one of the most epic, yet heart-rending in the entire Mega Man Zero tetrology.

This has to be my favorite final boss theme in the megaman series. I'd have loved for it to have returned with a remix in the ZX games the way Cannon Ball did. You did such a wonderful job with this song.
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
MAGNIFICENT!!! 0:00 *CIEL BELIEVE IN ME*
Thank you so much !!
This song will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for creating such amazing masterpieces!!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
This is the best cover of a Mega Man Zero track I've ever heard, you're the best man! Could you do a cover of "Esperanto" the track of the same game for the Area Zero level? That's my favorite and I think you could do it great, well if you can obviously.
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
Unfortunately, "Esperanto" is a song by another composer.
However, it may be possible to make a cover.
I will think about it.
@@ita-shin Actually that's what I was thinking, a cover of Esperanto would be great!
Sir, you are a legend and should have 500000000000x more views.
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
英語から日本語を独学しましたから、もし失礼にすればすみません。板倉さんの態度はすごく憧れます。私には子ども頃好きでした音楽を作りました上に、20年ぐらい経った今でも世界中のファンにちゃんと答えています。よく他のカバーのコメントで見えます。 本当にありがとうございます！
Thank you for your comments in Japanese !!
I'm glad you said that !!
It has been almost 20 years since this game was released, but please enjoy the game and music in the future !!
Suena tan épico!!! Es tenso, sientes la adrenalina y tambien da tristeza por saber que esa era la última batalla de Zero... Saludos desde Ecuador!
Se siente bonito que gente de muy lejos lo escuché y admire verdad? :3
De Ecuador !!
¡Gracias por tu comentario desde lejos !!
¡Me alegra ver el video !!
@@ita-shin increíble su amabilidad y paciencia para responder comentarios en otro idioma y eso que pasaron 2 décadas desde que salió el juego junto a este fantástica música gracias de todo corazón y curiosamente nací el mismo año que el Zero 4, en 2004!!
Such a good track. I like that you're replying to every comment, it really shows your dedication and feedback!!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
It's such an incredible song that every time I finish any video game and face the final boss, I play it in the background.
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
あああ！これはすごいですね！「Minimoog」はとても明るい音を出します。ありがとうございます。
Thank you so much !!
I like the Minimoog sound because it has a rushing power !!
The lack of guitars actually made the music sound more like the classic Megaman X SNES melodies that I grew up with, and it's nostalgic. This was amazing Mr. Itakura! Falling Down will always be one of my favorite MMZ tracks ever, thank you!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
Literally crying over this self-cover. It’s PERFECT!
The original guitar is amazing, but the nob you used for the subtle “wah” on that synth completes the slightly sorrowful undertone of the song. It drove it home so hard, I cried!
Please keep it up!!!
Thank you so much !!
You checked how to play the synth !!
@@ita-shin Of course! A teacher in college used to have that exact same device you're using for it! Makes me want to get my own and make music again~
Anyways thank you for this! Can't wait to hear more music! :D
Daaaang, this version is slick dude! Thanks for giving us another take on this fantastic song!
Thank you so much !!
Oh wow,I did not know this existed. Found this on accident while listening to the series' soundtrack again and despite never fully finishing any of the games,the soundtrack always left an impression on me so this is a cool find.
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
God, I love this version. You never fail to deliver. Once again, great work!
Thank you so much !!
How have I never seen this before?!? Why does it only have 1k likes?!? This is incredible!!
Thank you so much !!
I hope more people will see it.
This was the first Megaman game I ever actually managed to beat. I wish I had been skilled enough to play these games in order before the Legacy Collection, but that's all in the past now. What isn't stuck in the past is my love for the game and it's soundtrack, something I feel I could never express enough.
Thank you so much !!
love that analog synth lead keys so much
Thank you so much !!
lengendary composer, legendary game, lengendary song. thank you for this gem of a track!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
You did a phenomenal job! This was amazing. One of the first games I ever played was the mega man zero collection on the DS and I still think that the Zero 4 has the best soundtrack ever! Thank you so much for making the soundtrack for Zero 4.
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
If you like, there is a video of another song of the same game, so please have a look !
15 years later... mmm, great stuff.
Thank you so much !!
for me, even till this this day. This music is just legendary and I can't thank you enough for composing the soundtracks in megaman zero 4. They're all very awesome
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
I remember beating Weil in his first form. I had clear memories of MMZ3 Cannon Ball being an absolute banger. I thought at that moment...How can this final boss song top that? And my surprise was huge when hearing this fantastic song combined with Zero's speech. Megaman in general has a lot of great songs, but this one is the culmination of the story of Classic - X - Zero timeline. This was peak and it is my favorite final boss song. Just wanted to thank you for this great composition!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
This is one of my favorite songs in many years of playing video games. It makes the heart pound, and gets the blood boiling to this day! This cover is excellent!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
The organ and the synth work really well!
Thank you so much !!
I was 8 years old when I played Zero 4 for the first time. I got to the end and heard this song, and immediately got goosebumps. Thank you so much for this composition Itakura-san, Falling Down is one of the best songs from the Zero series, and throughout the Mega Man franchise!
Thank you so much !!
I hope this song is a good memory for you !!
This is such a legendary song, and one that was actually a part of my childhood. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
The amount of nostalgia that hit me was immense. Literally perfect! Gonna go play the Z series again!
Thank you so much !!
Hearing you do this is marvelous, I'm a long time Mega Man Fan, every time I hear this song I feel a sense of emotion because of the story in Zero 4 being so dramatic, and the best way it could've ended. I think the lack of a guitar puts it in line with the later X games. I love this, thank you so much.
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
one of my favorite compositions of videogame music.
increible work!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
It's amazing! Thank you for blessing us with another great take on Falling Down!
Thank you so much !!
One of the best Falling Down covers, done by the man himself, amazing work both in the original and this one
Thank you so much !!
いたくらさん、この音楽を作ってくれて本当にありがとうございました。このシーンとこの曲は子供の頃からずっとすごい印象を残してくれました。ゼロのものすごい最後のセリフと一緒に聞いたら丁度ぴったりですよ。 ^_^
ありがとうございます！
あなたの良い思い出の一つになっている様で嬉しいです！
Falling Down still sends chills down my spine so many years after first hearing it. This has just intensified that feeling ten-fold. Amazing, amazing work! Always adored MMZ4's soundtrack!
Thank you so much !!
Thank you for compose one the best songs in videogame history! Your self-covers really gives a new vibe to the songs, and I love it!
You are one of my inspirations along with the sound team at Capcom and Inti Creates.. really, I don't know what my life could be without all your music and games.
So thank you for all your work in the past years!
Big regards from Chile!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!

Amazing cover, it is awesome 😃🎉🎆
Thank you so much !!
Your song changed my life, and it still means a lot to me. Thank you so much, I really enjoyed this version as well!
Thank you so much !!
I'm glad you said that !!
This song is such a masterpiece
Thank you so much !!
This. Is. AMAZING!!!
This fits Weil's character really well because I always thought that he would play the organ!!
Thank you for this amazing cover!
Personally, I would like to see a "Cool hearted fellow" cover.
Thank you so much !!
Unfortunately, "Cool hearted fellow" doesn't seem to be my song ...
Thank you very much for your generosity. This synth-only redux of your track is wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you so much !!
oh man this another song from the series finally that really captures the final battle against weil. Thank you for posting this making me relive my childhood
Thank you so much !!
This is probably my favourite version. The synths make it sound way more natural. Very good.
Thank you so much !!
This is seriously amazing. Falling down is one of the most epic compositions of the zero series. Please make more, I'm such of huge fan of the z4 soundtrack!!!
Thank you so much !!
