This guy legit outdid himself. His soundtrack gave me chills all over my body for this anime, the one that gave me the most chills was the one that played when Bam was being transported to Headon, Lero Ro's culling, and Anaak using her Ignition weapon. I don't care when this soundtrack releases, all I need is the date. This soundtrack is just so amazing. Kevin, you rock, man.
@@joaoluis6585 Anime music composers are very different from movie music composers. Hans zimmer truly is the best at cinematic industry but you shouldn't compare his skills to another composer very skilled in a distinctive area
I hope Kevin Penkin is brought back if Season 2 is adapted. He has some passion for the series, and a clear understanding of the characters. He gave such a brilliant theme for Rachel, it fits her real well. He alone brings the anime to higher heights than it could've been with any other typical composer. Voice acting and art design aside, his music is the highlight of the anime. The directing is what brought it down for me.
This is one of the most unique anime OST's that I've heard. It feels dreamy, gentle, epic and dangerous. Hope Kevin Penkin sticks around for a possible season 2, we're gonna need a special "character theme" for a certain someone...
7:40 Describing Rachels song is amazing. I am suprised how much i love the juxtaposition of the tones and how it describes her so perfectly without saying a word. This is perfect and you are a genius Kevin Penkin.

At this point, she might be my favorite character. Not because she is likable but because she is fun to hate. I know the ending of the anime is different from the Webtoon, but the scene where she laughed on her window like the villain she is was fantastic.
@@melonlord1414 I think the laugh was more a product of madness at realizing what she did and that she can't go back, rather than the typical villain laugh after the long awaited succes of his plans.
@@Kokanauka Hahahahaahahaha it's funny 'cause I always say the same thing at Reddit, and not the way around (someone telling it to me), its just ironic. But yeah I agree with you my bro she is super interesting, but as a person, as in personality, she is many things but pretty, I mean what she did to SPOILERS Dan had no purpose, I actually think she has a bad personality from this moment the most, for it had absolutely no purpose
@@Kokanauka I wonder the same. Was she already bad and Manipulative from the start, or did something happen that corruptos her between the time spent in the cave and the Tower reencounter? Her behaviour in the cave either was a very early manipulation, genuinely good - and then she corruptos herself - or just mediocrity and vanity (being good just for show and having someone in your debt, so you feel good about your virtue). I don't know the current state of affairs in the manhwa, but I think they haven't explained completely yet why she changed
@@Kokanauka well, of course, that probably will be explained towards the end, since The Red Haired girl (forgot her name) said to baam: "what made you go mad? What made Rachel go mad? Climb the Tower and find out"
I think the music for Tower of God is by far the best I've ever heard. IMO it's on a whole different level than anything else, except maybe Made in Abyss but that makes sense.
I'm so ecstatic for Kevin man. On a whim at a convention, and by sheer luck finding out he was at a con I was at, I was SO HAPPY I got a BEAUTIFUL Shield Hero artwork signed by him and ALSO the lead animator and director of the Shield Hero too🤩. I'll never forget that time, and you are one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE COMPOSERS KEVIN!!!
Honestly the music might be one of my favourite things about tog, it drew me in and gave me chills, and i loved how it really brought the webtoon to life.
What an amazing video (Major Spoilers Ahead: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!) I was introduced to Tower of God when a friend of mine asked if I was going to watch the anime adaptation (Before April). I told him that I didn't know what Tower of God was and that I'd look into it and watch it when it came out and boy am I glad I did! I remember watching the first episode with a friend of mine and we were dead silent the entire time entranced by the music. Especially Rachel's theme, I found the harp so relaxing thinking that she could do no wrong. So when she betrayed Bam I literally cursed out a 2D character on my computer monitor. Thank you for explaining your thought process behind the track, I see it as pure genius! Rachel wouldn't be the same character without the music you composed. And adding a choir with the Princess of Jahad themes made them so much more intimidating. Because I hadn't read the manhwa beforehand, I didn't know the true power of the princesses, but your music had already told me the whole story. The choir made it feel like these individuals could destroy entire bloodlines without breaking a sweat. This is probably the most immersed I've been into an anime ever and the soundtrack is a big part of it. I was kind of disappointed when season 1 had ended because I felt that the world could be expanded upon much more. My worries were dispelled after hearing that season 1 was a sort of "Prologue" to the main story. I started reading the manhwa and wow! The story is a million times better than I expected it to be and I would truly regret it if season 1 hadn't laid the foundation of the story. I'm already half way through season 2 after only a week of reading and would love to see it adapted into an anime (since the character designs are way better don't @ me) only if YOU are the composer behind it. I feel like your music has been entwined with the story so much that without it, it wouldn't be the same show. If I watched a season 2 with a different composer, it would feel like meeting a friend you haven't seen for a long time and they're a completely different person! (( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)) Anyways, I think I've written enough now, once again thank you for composing such beautiful music and please for the love of everything, COMPOSE SEASON 2!
Yeah, Bulgarian folk singing actually has a long history in anime music, starting at least in 1995 with Ghost in the Shell! Those vocal polyphonies are gorgeous!!!
Now this does put a Smile on my Face ☺. Mr. Kevin P, give us more 10+hour long breakdowns of more videos like this. I could watch this all day!!! Crunchy what are you guys doing...this man is a Master-Class!! EDIT: GOOD Lord, Kevin Penkin is a Mastermind, Genius, madman. Literally fans, and 98.1% of the viewers here won't understand the audio/mixer software he is showing us but, not once does he talk down to the viewers, he explains all in detail, as if we "get it". He even plays a few full snippets, just to let us hear the full perfection of what he's created. Definitely wishing him the best for whatever goals he has set his sights on. As well as any future endeavors he is embarking on. I for one, along with all of the viewers here want to say "Thank You Mr. Kevin Penkin, and we get it". Soo much I want to write here... But Good God, I can't find the words.
This explains a lot, its the same composer from made in abyss... this soundtrack is too freaking good. And that live mid choir he did? that shit was crazy, always when this choir come up on the anime I get chills
The soundtracks are stunning they give me chills each time I hear them, especially at the epic moments. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful atmosphere for TOG 💕
The decisions on the music are the best the music itself gives me goosebumps every time a fight starts , it give you feelings an emotions on what’s happening at the moment every time I read the manga I can just imagine one of the soundtracks starting to play in my head much ❤️ to the artist for bringing the manga to live!.
The Choir says it's Bulgarian, man, i like it how music brings the whole world together, when you dig into stuff you realize people draw inspiration from everywhere
Kevin Penkin: "One of these games was Norn9." Me: "Oh cool, an otome game!" Video: *shows footage of otome game Code: Realize instead* Me: Visible confusion.
i'm so glad they received at least some recognition for the work this album took to make. everything is so unique and different, but cohesive and god it sounds so good. idk why this isn't a bigger deal, this was a love letter not an ost lol...they can every unused track in future seasons and it would fit perfectly all the same. kevin outdid himself this time, but i also wanna thank the execs and engineers, production crew and everyone else who allowed this album to be created. it's so fully realized it's as if there was zero budget constraint, complete hands off approach allowing kevin to just fuckin play with sound to his heart's content with complete trust in what he would manage to create for them.
Rising of the shield 🛡 hero episode 15 has an insert song that is is sung in Swedish 🇸🇪. En Annan tiv, et annat liv = Another time, another life. That is the only Swedish song I’ve ever heard in anime.
Tower of God is the first anime that I have chosen to watch because I heard one of the songs (Irregular god), while listening to a random anime playlist on Spotify. After watching the entire season in one go, I just can’t stop listening to this album. I don’t care if they will use exactly the same music for the second season, as long as there will be second season and music will be composed by Kevin Penkin, who by the way is an absolute genius - that’s all I care about!
Tower of God soundtracks are so unique and out of this world that it left me completely speechless, and all I could think of was that it was perfect. Already, the first few notes I heard gave way to an undescribable feeling and I knew then it would become one of my most favorite soundtracks. In my opinion, the soundtracks perfectly captured the “feel” or “mood” of Tower of God; and along with the animation, it created a never-before-seen-and-heard experience. Thank you so so much for the great work and for the awesome music. Just like the others, I hope that it would be continued towards the next season (if it will come). 😊
It's very rare for me to search the soundtrack of anime after I've watched it. I watched Made in Abyss and realized later when the first trailer of ToG that it was the same composer. Lots of chills when I hear different soundtracks in this anime. I'm waiting for the OST to officially release!
imagine Hans Zimmer, Hiroyuki Sawano and Kevin Penkin making a song or an OST, That would get at least more views than gangnam style and gangnam style has now 3.6 Billion views thats almost half of the worlds population!
The soundtrack for ToG is incredible. It feels enigmatic on first hearing, perfectly suited to the mysterious nature of the Tower itself. I love how Rachel's theme plays with the distorted heroine concept. Strangely, I found the concept track more entrancing than the live recording though, maybe it's because he played it first?
Kevin Penkin is an amazing Artist. I love the 25th Bam soundtrack its sooo nice. With Penkin, Tower of God becomes more then just an anime. Hope for season 2. PS. don't forgot SIU the God of the GOATs
Penkin is an absolute standout in his craft--his style of composing is so distinctive and unique, well thought-out, deliberate, and gorgeous. I could sing praises for his works all day, dude is so extremely talented. Finally watched ToG this past weekend. Didn't even know Penkin composed for it, but as soon as the OST for the first scene of the show started I knew he was the composer.
I love these kind of videos of seeing inside the mind of the people working on complex projects. Is there any way we could get this kind of stuff for the music of all Crunchyroll adaptations? And not just music, but animation and everything else you can get an interview on. It would be amazing
KEVIN..... YOU LEGEND..... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!! I don't think I've heard music composed that so perfectly fits the work since I listened to the DOOM 2016 soundtrack. Seriously man huge inspiration.
We need this guy for S2 because S2 is going to be insane if they're going to adapt it well this time, I can see why they completed S1 in just 13 episodes, they want to get to S2 as fast ad possible. Maaaan..... I can only imagine how S2 is going to be in animation.....
Since i listened his work in MADE IN ABYSS i started following his works, i love all of them, he is making really good soundtracks for anime/games/movies, i can't wait to get TOWER OF GOD soundtrack
Big fan... Love your soundtracks. For me it's: (1) made in abyss (2) tower of God (3) rising of the shield hero In the order Hoping for more master pieces
Kevin, or Crunchyroll please relay or make this happen: We need a collab with Yoko Kano my dude, you both have such a similar feel to me with the vocals! Hell, make a whole album together we can buy please!
Naturally Rachel's theme is perfectly fitting. Just like her it's one of the best because of how complicated and intricate it all is with all of the contradictions in it's composition. Bless you Kevin Penkin.
It's amazing to me that I got so attached to Kevin's music; I had a base of growing up with Uematsu-san's music in many different Final Fantasy games and love those OSTs. But I wasn't aware of that personal connection between the two of them. The Master and the master in progress both produce amazing music!
This man is one of the best composers right now. I have bought almost all of the soundtracks he has made. Totally worth it. Incredible. I'll be sure to buy the one from Tower of God when it gets released!!

one of the best OST for a show. The way it edits and the music plays, fantastic
The legend is talking 😱
I am SO looking forward to the second season of Tower of God and the music for it!! Super excited and can't wait, hope it comes out soon.
we need more of this dude, amazing work
8:39 never fails to boggle my mind
Really loved the sound design of this series. So unique and unexpected. He’s doing great things!
I love these kind of videos of seeing inside the mind of the people working on complex projects. Is there any way we could get this kind of stuff for the music of all Crunchyroll adaptations? And not just music, but animation and everything else you can get an interview on. It would be amazing
KEVIN..... YOU LEGEND..... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!! I don't think I've heard music composed that so perfectly fits the work since I listened to the DOOM 2016 soundtrack. Seriously man huge inspiration.
You make some dang good music Kevin
We need this guy for S2 because S2 is going to be insane if they're going to adapt it well this time, I can see why they completed S1 in just 13 episodes, they want to get to S2 as fast ad possible.
Maaaan..... I can only imagine how S2 is going to be in animation.....
They need to make season 2 split into two 36 episode course if they don't want to rush everything
Since i listened his work in MADE IN ABYSS i started following his works, i love all of them, he is making really good soundtracks for anime/games/movies, i can't wait to get TOWER OF GOD soundtrack
btw, i listen his work with THX certified speakers
Big fan... Love your soundtracks. For me it's:
(1) made in abyss
(2) tower of God
(3) rising of the shield hero
In the order
Hoping for more master pieces
Will be adding a lot of these songs to my ambient music playlists alongside Tomorrow and Hanezeve Caradhina
Kevin, or Crunchyroll please relay or make this happen: We need a collab with Yoko Kano my dude, you both have such a similar feel to me with the vocals! Hell, make a whole album together we can buy please!
God I love Kevin Penkin...
Naturally Rachel's theme is perfectly fitting. Just like her it's one of the best because of how complicated and intricate it all is with all of the contradictions in it's composition. Bless you Kevin Penkin.
Reading the manga while listening to the soundtracks gives a glimps of what it can be as anime so far i love it ❤️
yeah i loved reading the manwa while listening to the soundtrack. kevin was my most listened artist on spotify haha
@@User18277 I love having the option to read a manga/manhwa etc with the OST from its anime adaptation
I hope this dude is helping with season 2
This is great I love watching these Kevin Penkin videos keep them coming :D
It's amazing to me that I got so attached to Kevin's music; I had a base of growing up with Uematsu-san's music in many different Final Fantasy games and love those OSTs. But I wasn't aware of that personal connection between the two of them. The Master and the master in progress both produce amazing music!
The soundtrack is PERFECT and fits TOG perfectly. I can’t imagine any other soundtrack that could fit better.
BRO RELEASE TOG OST MAN I LOVE IT also does anybody listen to it in the background while reading the webtoon
More of this please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks Crunchyroll and Kevin for this videos. Keep doing this
Bro this anime had beautiful op/end and amazing ost. The music quality was fucking god level
Get chills everytime with the base part
He did a brilliant job of conveying both the mysteriousness of the tower, and it's epic scope
This man is one of the best composers right now. I have bought almost all of the soundtracks he has made. Totally worth it. Incredible.
I'll be sure to buy the one from Tower of God when it gets released!!
You did an amazing work Kevin Penkin thank you very much
This entire score kept me excited for this new era of anime. This webtoon team up debut was done right.
His pieces are so damn beautiful!
amazing work, love all of it! Can't wait to buy the Soundtrack
