(Music) What you listening to?

[ArcticuKitsu]

Every forum has one of these that I'll see if you guys want to post music. Maybe we can see what sort of music we listen to?

Genshin Impact - Inazuma Focus:

Had a depressing day which eventually led me into playing more Genshin Impact only because I had dailies to complete. From those dailies I had the motivation to ascend and level my characters further to then venture further into Inazuma. Like the real feudal Japan I was trapped in a foreign town to then have a story mission allow me to venture across Inazuma to seek out more ascension items, among other key items. The music I heard was beautiful all around. I love the soundtrack, even if remixed.

I want to share more, I'll leave it at these 5 because I'm in a rush to snooze. I really want to save this all that much more.

Another batch of musical beauty, this time in random order. Just listening to it while it's humid as f*** here. 32, feels like 42 C. Playing Azur Lane, just about ready to hop onto Genshin Impact, IF my PC allows it in this heat.

- Rome Total War - Barbarian Domination:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq0emFQoHcQ

- Inazuma Battle Theme IV | Genshin Impact Original Soundtrack: Inazuma Chapter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0Vbb251uTI

- Inazuma - Main theme (Similar to above concert video, just on its own):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTCu-0my_58

- Ilan Eshkeri - Sacrifice of Tradition | Ghost of Tsushima (Music from the Video Game)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU6PxPLrhuc
(Some of the best music tracks propping Japan up with further praise and pride. Stupid western SJWs tried to cancel the game because it didn't fit their negative political agenda. We had to brainlessly praise 'The Last of Us 2' because some perverse reason it's the "bEsT gAmE eVeR". Yeah, to the point Japanese players broke their discs to instead play Ghost of Tsushima, the ACTUAL best game ever. Has to be one of the few good Sony PS5 games out there while everything else is on the Switch, PC, and Xbox.)

- Yoimiya remix (because, why not):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxukkgjVZKo

- Spartan Total Warrior Soundtrack - Gates of Saturn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csJ3iiMzId8
(Oldies tend to be best. Sharing only because of Rome Total War with these tracks being remixed from them. Older games have charm newer games lack. That "soul", or "fun" element. Rome Total War ftw.)

- Rome Total War - Epic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iwaTQR1oQo
(Because the older tracks were removed. I have to add them back)

Rome Total War: Journey to Rome II:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf5qwoCE6eY
(Best track, IMO.)

And that is all until I decide to make another batch posting. I could finally relax to some music so I'm happy.

[ArcticuKitsu]

More Genshin Impact music because I'm constantly stumbling across beauty.

- Floating World Under the Moonlight Trailer Theme | Genshin Impact OST: Inazuma Chapter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAkw7Ft7Kn0

- Sayu's theme:

I'm just having a blast with Genshin Impact, now with Sayu after having both ascended and leveled her up further. Love her playful nature, her cute swimming animation. Oh, how I can't wait to emulate this in Rising World in one manner or another, Red51 willing.

[ArcticuKitsu]

Just another chill session with music having noted I forgot to post something, again.

- Inazuma Battle Theme III | Genshin Impact Original Soundtrack: Inazuma Chapter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kqe_GbcdmA
(Surprised I even forgot to share this in the above 2-3 postings.)

- Genshin Impact - Kamisato Ayaka Dance at Chinju Forest (4 Version) | v2.0 Inazuma OST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI4iOwmbo2o
(Haven't visited this part yet, though highly familiar because Ayaka is one of my favourite characters having one of the best scenes in the game.)

- Hiroyuki Sawano – 『KINGDOM-shou』
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9tFUGbMijo
(Hiroyuki Sawano is the most well known anime composer in the Japanese anime industry. Kawaii Kenji, among others. I also picked the video because It's Baal from Genshin Impact, a character I have yet to fight and obtain.)

- Vinland Saga - Normanni
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIZ_8NLnAeg
(I haven't shared Normanni? What a sin. Now I have.)

--------------------

Jormungand Anime OST:

One of the best anime out there being criminally under-rated because people suffer from tribal mentality, etc. It's similar to 'Lord of War' movie, just anime in a serious, if comical manner. It knows how to have fun. I'm surprised I haven't shared it, nor remember doing so.

2nd Season

- Jormungand Perfect Order OST - The First Step To Escape From Complex:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCHjHkNC5dQ
(Also doubles as an overly lengthy trailer music for first & second season. Best part is the second half of this track signaling second season.)

- Jormungand Perfect Order OST - L'ambition mélodique
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV1jzleFhRA
(French rap.)

I miss the good ol' days when people could actually enjoy what they enjoyed, even proudly and loudly. When people actually enjoyed something they would share it proudly for the world to see, even with this anime. Everybody is so afraid these days.

More Genshin Impact because there is a new update coming out "shortly", or "soon". Character is about 'Raiden' (Baal) who has immortality, a god (or Archon) of 'Eternity'.

Eternity is sad. Reminds me of another character from Fate/Grand Order named Scathach having become corrupted by Hell to become immortal herself, desiring to 'self-delete' herself. She teaches while desiring release. The younger me could relate to both characters on the part of constantly being bullied and harassed. Anime saved me.

(They may be the same cover, they have some slight variations here and there)

Floating World Under the Moonlight/Genshin Impact 2.1 Trailer Piano Arrangement (Full Version):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPF_zj_v3ho
(Probably heard this already.)

The music seems to be getting onto the sadder side because of the way the story is going.

[ArcticuKitsu]

I actually surprisingly stumbled across proper generic music.

- IN THE HEART OF STARS - David Chappell [Epic Music - Powerful Dramatic Orchestral Music]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpBhDYjaXnQ
(Ending portion is weird, the first and middle part is awesome.)

- Total War: Rome 2 Soundtrack - Roma Invicta
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YemA9nE0CEY
(Sounds like Das Boot or Silent Hunter 3 OST, though Roman. Never played it, just listened to it at random.)

- HW Remastered ST Battle for Sajuuk REMIXED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6SylRSSk1g
(Homeworld 2 had some of the best music out there.)

Yup.

[ArcticuKitsu]

And more, thanks to more character reveals for Genshin Impact.

- Genshin Sayu Chinese VA Sakula小舞 - Say So (Japanese Ver) (Color Coded Lyrics Kan/Rom/Eng)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THewnsh4moM
(Japanese voice actress doing a cover of another song.)

- Kujou Sara: Thunderous Devotion/Genshin Impact Character Demo Piano ピアノArrangement/Cover
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCDPOOd2LiA
(New Tengu character.)

- 《Genshin Impact》Yoimiya -Sketch Animation「Fireworks are for now, but friends are forever」
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nScfaOtb-7o
(not really music, though shows why I love Anime. This is fan-made showing a more emotional side to Yoimiya, a recent character in Genshin.)

[ArcticuKitsu]

More Genshin Impact thanks to the new update.

I haven't battled this new boss, though love the theme. Encounter her a few times in the story.

- La Signora Boss Theme — Phase II: Crimson Witch of Flames | Genshin Impact OST: Inazuma Chapter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbwOsLHyh8s

- Against All Odds ~Inazuma Version~ | Genshin Impact Original Soundtrack: Inazuma Chapter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_j8LTtRyJY

New music ftw.

[ArcticuKitsu]

Alright, I have a whole new slew of Genshin Impact music to share because I haven't been hit this awesomely with music in so long. Maybe since Rome Total War, Silent Hunter 3, Azur Lane, Nier Automata, Dragon's Dogma, and the like. Those heavy hitters of a tracks. Tracks with emotions and stories to tell within them. Not just music for the vibes, but music which also tells a story.

I hope we can get these sort of tracks.

- Raiden Shogun: Judgment of Euthymia/Genshin Impact Character Demo INSANE Piano Arrangement/ピアノCover
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOfxHraipOE
(Raiden/Baal's PV musical piano Cover. This is Part 2 of her story. I still have yet to reach her first)

People lurking here may assume these tracks are just "musical", they are also emotional and have a story to tell. They're not just "fluff", though the Mondstandt ones "may" be "fluff".

A (now) famous musical producer breaks down the beats.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyvfXrNbnq8
(he loves it)

- Genshin Impact Original Soundtrack: All-Conquering Tide — Dragonspine Battle Theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtTy1JJpMiM
(Always wanted to find this track the first time I ventured onto this mountain, now happily captured in this youtube)

- Raiden Shogun Battle Theme [All Phases] - Genshin Impact OST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRn7hT7yad8
(Part 1: Her enemy of fears from another land [Signora's leitmotif], and her national status | Part 2: The battle beings; Same as her Round 1 fight music. She is the Archon of Eternity for a reason | Part 3: All your fears put into place as she really pushes you into her corner. All gloves are off with all her pride now put into place. Part 3 is also the rematch theme for when you battle her again.)

I have yet to battle her, things are deeper in meaning than how I'm wording them in generalization. You have crazy 'Trap' or 'EDM' type sections, Trombones, and even other crazy instrumental patterns happening. The battles are intense. Everybody who has fought her knows how truly powerful she is as a boss in Inazuma. Bring your best or be torn apart.

Yeah, the spotlight is still Genshin. I'll however sprinkle some other goodies.

Imperial Conflict - Rome Total War Original Soundtrack - Jeff van Dyck:

(Previous videos were purged and reuploaded so I might as well re-share them. Oldies are goodies)

Heiress To The Sky - Jose Pavli | DAWN Aerowar Soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1IDybqoxog
(New track by Jose Pavli, a composer who composed tracks for Project Wingman. Something worth noting for your more 'cinematic' needs.)

I can't wait for Rising World to try sweeping me off my feet the way Genshin Impact has with character types, attack style, and etc. More so in the music department. Surprise me.

[ArcticuKitsu]

Randomly suggested to me. Randomly sounds similar to Genshin Impact, though not realy. The first listen had me thinking Genshin. It's awesome on its own though has some generic elements to it. It's neat.

- mamomo - Pieces (mix)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbirkMgFjrA
(Has that Genshin Impact vibe to it in a faint manner, or at least to me)

- Fox Sailor - The Warrior of Darkness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILWIclnf3_k
(Generic noise)

[ArcticuKitsu]

Some more to share thanks to Youtube recommendations.

- Unbreakable Machine-Doll OST - Man Mind Confession
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIPcMOS7jME
(Great 'chill' anime to relax to with great music, scenes, and battles. Love the soundtrack, even years later)

- Unbreakable Machine Doll ED - "Maware! Setsugetsuka"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Dw1i_0e6A
(Traditional, yet modern, Japanese music sung in a cute up-beat manner. The proper way, not like the others I hear.)

---

- Genshin Raiden Shogun Chinese VA 菊花花 - Honkai World Diva (Color Coded Lyrics Kan/Rom/Eng)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwkv3v-Jx6w
(Genshin Impact's Chinese voice actress sings Honkai Impact cover. Great cover. One of the most well known tracks in the gacha community.)

[ArcticuKitsu]

I'm aware that people assume I'm crazy, or disagree with me, etc. That's on them. They haven't experienced what I have in life, or have observed. The following track, and even the artist is someone I've loosely followed thanks to the Arknights gacha game (view in first page) seeing they're still set on 'Martial Law' type themes. Breaking from the system of government forcing society into strict robotic rules.

- STARSET - THE BREACH (Official Music Video):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWkbUMQ4-88

Anime has all these themes thanks to Japan's WW2 experiences. They've applied their experiences into old and new anime alike for both atmospheric and 'food-for-thought' elements, something I even find DC & Marvel to lack, even though it was noted they've done philosphical and provocative mental thought themes. Not as heavily as Anime, though they're getting there. Marvel & DC are also destroying themselves with these political points as well with fake politics, ones which don't align with reality, let alone Japanese & Chinese POVs.

Guys heard of Nier Automata? I'm sure those close to me have. Pick it up, play it till you reach A2. Pick up Genshin Impact, Azur Lane, or any RPG. Even Witcher from Poland (anime and game). Metal Gear Solid 2 was a big one on PS2 provoking the mind. People may assume it's gibberish, it's not.

- Post relating to Gundam Wing soundtrack with politics still relating to this current era. Great show with great music tracks.

I still remember when this below theme played making everything so epic and atmospheric. It was like watching a movie, and it is a movie in a way.

- Metal Gear Solid 2 OST | Main Theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kZ5TiSl2d8

- Metal Gear Solid 2 Soundtrack - Snake Tales Intermission 1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5naSmCLoz4

- Metal Gear Solid 2 Soundtrack - Vamp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WHou5qQY7M

Kojima knows how to provoke the mind, as do others in the Anime/manga/J-games industry :). Starset is learning while also amused how they portray things. I'm a deep thinker and an observer.

[ArcticuKitsu]

Mihoyo recently had a concert on the 3rd for their Genshin Impact game. It was awesome and a blast. Loving the effort they put into it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIam8zl4af8

1 hour and 50 minutes of epic music. Something we can all agree on (even the haters to this game) is how awesome the music is. Even if you have stupid brainless people bashing Mihoyo for everything we can all agree the music is awesome. When you see salty people they're just the westerners unable to have fun. Granted, Chinese people have done the same. Haven't heard much from Japan.

Vtuber from Hololive having done a neat cover. Could have missed this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SXHxLnr7Js

I honestly can't wait to hear something similar for Rising World. I would love to hear music from Waveshapr, even if it's not 1:1 to Genshin Impact. Each game has their own unique style and I can't wait to hear Rising World's unique style in full.

Music is everything to me, even if I failed to properly put mine out there.

[ArcticuKitsu]

Quick Goldeneye N64 remixed nicely and smoothly.

Only sharing this for now, in a rush.
