This has been one of the highest levels ever reached by humankind. Playing Song of the Ancients at the Olympics will not only forever be a great achievement for the whole NieR team and for us gamers and NieR fans, but also a milestone in the history of this specific song. Not only a melody carrying the sadness, fights, hopes and dreams of a race that has, well, gone exctinct, but also a fully-fledged part of humanity’s lore on this planet, having become part of an official Olympics opening performance.
@@Axel69328yes correct, but the song itself acquires a new meaning through the game, becoming the leitmotif of our cheerful days at the village, and later of the not so cheerful anymore days as well, eventually becoming a song carrying Devola and Popola’s hopes of saving humanity, and lastly the song of their and our despair in having to kill each other. In Automata it becomes a song of atonement for someone else’s sins, ultimately referring to Christ’s sacrifice to atone for humanity’s sins, but the difference here is that there is no savior and no saved: humanity is already extinct and the life of two innocent androids will never be enough to change the future… nor the past.
Fangirling does not even begin to describe the reaction I had when I heard this in the background while on my phone. I screamed at the top of my lungs and I have NO REGRETS.
I think it's perfectly fitting for such event, because the "ancient" language is universal, every nation in the world hears it's the same, so it's only uniting people, Yoko Taro san is a genius indeed
Stop? stop? Now you wanna stop? You think you have the luxury to stop? You cut down my sister like a goddamn animal and now you want to STOP? No one STOPS. It's way too late to STOP! NO ONE.....STOOOOOOOOPPPPPSSSS!!!!!
Yoko Taro would find a way to make it canon. Hell! He’d incorporate into a spin-off game franchise that was necessary to watch to get the final ending, lol
This is batshit, the change in the score really feels like 'Glory To a Country' instead of a tragedy, imagine exiting a dark hallway, only with the inner stadium lights shining the end of your path, and as you got out you hear cheering and the song's at the 'Otrajain Aforenje Kurasol"
Pues cuando vi la apertura de los juegos Olímpicos estuve al pendiente de todo y cuando salieron las banderas estuve tranquila, pero salió la música de NieR Replicant y me puse a llorar, fuí tan feliz ese día, hasta estaba toda roja de la cara... eso si fué inolvidable ♥️♥️💖 💌
dang, wish I had played nier earlier. I've only just played the automata and replicant this year and would've loved to have recognized this song while watching back then.
I remember feeling really shocked hearing this for the first time, my parents and I were very enchanted listening to it as the athletes poured in. It, was kind of inspiring in a way. After the terrible covid year we still had the Olympics to look forward to. It gives me a little bit of hope.
"Stop-a? Stop-a?! You want a-me to stop-a?! You cut-a down my brother like an animal and you tell a-me to stop-a?! No-one stops-a! It's a-way too late to stop-a! No-one stops-a!!"
Well.... I think they were going to say that be ready world gonna end . But changed mind and thought: it would be to Crule. Lets give theme signal by some not too papular game sound track
They should have played Emil's song, so in 200 years when they watch this they think we sacrificed the athletes to remove covid jokes aside, Kaine would have fit better as is more "hope" song.. but song of the anciets is just too great
It could be just the camera's mics recording, but it sounds the stage sound wasn't setup correctly. I know they chose this song and it's version because of its drums for the African countries. However it's lacking in bass and undertones especially the bell. All you could really hear is the singing and a basic rhythm of the drums. Singing also sounds live, but it doesn't really sound like two people or rather it's just not distinct enough. Overall sound stage setup doesn't do it justice.
@@GuiltyDoc It's the addendum version sung by Emi Evans and J'Nique Nicole, it sounds like it lacks something tho. Maybe it's just because of all the noise apart from the song, but that's the version. n_n
how ironic, a song from a game which starts due to a virus, played during the peak of a virus
i love it
You’re… gonna need to play Replicant.
I’m not explaining why, just do it.
(Unless you count magic cancer as a virus. In which case ignore this.)
@@flowerfaerie8931 I'm pretty sure they were referring to White Chlorination Syndrome as a virus because it's infectious.
@@flowerfaerie8931it spread like a virus, so yeah I think they were referring to that
@@flowerfaerie8931 yeah i was about to say the same thing lol, song of the ancients has nothing to do with the logic virus in nier automata.
it’s more like bacteria

YESSS!!!!
Preach! 😭
Corrígeme si me equivoco , pero al comienzo del juego , devola nos dice que la canción significa la pelea de los dos libros .

これ採用した奴有能すぎる
この時期の世界は本当にNieR世界のように白塩化症候群が流行しており、現実ではコロナウイルスという人類にとっての脅威もあったので、偶然とは思えない選曲でもあり、歌詞に関してもこの曲を選曲した理由が分かります。
リメイク版発売が控えてたからそれの宣伝だよ
Fangirling does not even begin to describe the reaction I had when I heard this in the background while on my phone. I screamed at the top of my lungs and I have NO REGRETS.
I wish they somehow did the olympics at a time where they could have crowds because this song would’ve blessed their ears
Omg.... Yes.
What i love the most is that they played the redition closer to the orginal neir.
For the true people of culture

Such a shame I didn't know about nier at the time. I would have had goosebumps hearing this
I FEEL YOU
Ong bro
@@Fyjgtughiohg7ij I got to hear it in London recently so that makes up for it lol
@@novustalks7525where in London?
@@Josh-sz8ip the royal festival hall.
Stop? stop? Now you wanna stop?
You think you have the luxury to stop?
You cut down my sister like a goddamn animal and now you want to STOP?
No one STOPS. It's way too late to STOP!
NO ONE.....STOOOOOOOOPPPPPSSSS!!!!!
NO ONE STOPS!!!!!!!!
Do you think you have the luxury to STOP!!!
RAAAAAAAAAA
Is this Nier lore canon?
Yes, but ancient history. It was the year 2020 after all.
*everything is canon*
Let's hope it's not xD
this is the timeline where 2B and 9s were actualy Adam and Eve.
Yoko Taro would find a way to make it canon. Hell! He’d incorporate into a spin-off game franchise that was necessary to watch to get the final ending, lol
Not even really interested in the Olympics, but I love NieR: Automata. I'm super happy to hear this here, or anywhere really.
not even Automata music, get real
@@xanatanuwu It was muffled yes, but it was there.
@@_Umbrael_ he means it’s NieR replicant music not automata
@@monojuice Whether they're from the same game or not, it is still Song of the Ancients.
Play replicant (or gestalt)
"Glory to mankind!"
Become as gods
This cannot continue!!!
Glory... to mankind :(
The seeds never were, and mankind remains unforgiven...

イニシエノウタ流れてたのかよ全然気が付かなかった
ニーアレプリカントは謎の疫病に罹った妹を治すために戦う物語
新型コロナという疫病と戦っていた東京オリンピックで流れるの熱かったよね。
@4 Hikki 自分はプレステ持ってないので未プレイですがレプリカント実況動画よく観てました。
結末；；
（オリンピックなんか）ぶっ壊してやるぜ
って意味にしかならんがな
ただし結末は最悪

:, fue bonito
i still can’t believe this is real
dang, wish I had played nier earlier. I've only just played the automata and replicant this year and would've loved to have recognized this song while watching back then.
Same here. Played both games in February this year only to RUclips search this video.
the amount of insulin i had to inject just to keep me alive from the shock and pain is immeasurable
Wow this feels like the twisted amusement park...
play replicant
Play replicant
Play replicant
sounds like this guy hasn’t played nier replicant 😭😭😭
Play replicant
shout out to cook island, grenada, croatia, cayman islands, and kenya learned some of your stuff while listening one of the best songs!

この曲はずっと後世に残るべき
Un hermoso honor para los Nier Fans y hacernos recordar a Devola y Popola
Yoko Taro redeemed
Glory to mankind! 🫱🏻
"Stop-a? Stop-a?! You want a-me to stop-a?! You cut-a down my brother like an animal and you tell a-me to stop-a?! No-one stops-a! It's a-way too late to stop-a! No-one stops-a!!"
i cried, every fucking time i hear this. It's so epically sad
God, how I wish that there were more people present. This song is way too special to not be highlighted on.
*"GLORY TO MANKIND"*
The black scrawl was also a hot topic back then 💀
They should have played the ending e boss fight song from drakengard and signaled the end of the world lol
Well.... I think they were going to say that be ready world gonna end . But changed mind and thought: it would be to Crule. Lets give theme signal by some not too papular game sound track
LOL
god I knew it before people pointed it out and I was not just fanboying that time 😭
Depuis que je suis tombé accro à la série Nier je n'arrête pas de tomber ce sur genre de vidéo 😅
Im am so proud omg
Glory to humanity
God I hope we’re not playing the joke ending
うおー最高だぜ！！！！
Cool stuff
They should have played Emil's song, so in 200 years when they watch this they think we sacrificed the athletes to remove covid
jokes aside, Kaine would have fit better as is more "hope" song.. but song of the anciets is just too great
They just need to play a new NieR song every time
Song of the ancients is new Zealands national anthem?
Glory To Mankind
I. Hear. A. Sound.
こんだけ色んな国から人来てるのに誰ひとり聞き取れない言語なんおもしろ杉
外国人「日本語かな?」
Nier知らない勢「外国語だな?」
헐 이게 여기서 쓰이다니... 와...
Maybe for the next olympic they can play bury the light
I bet every contestant'd be a lot more motivated.
I love.

does anyone know where just the isolated song can be found?
Just search "song of the ancients nier" or anything along those lines
@@beans4986 there's a specific version of the song made specifically for the Olympics. it's impossible to find anywhere.

@@asahisasbabygirl OH MY GOD THANK IVE LITERALLY BEEN LOOKING EVER SINCE THIS HAPPENED

so peak!!!!!!
Wait? Which Nation's national anthem is this?????
Chat… is this real?!
贖罪じゃなくて運命なのも何か意図があるのかな...
