hi. im trying to produce music on bandlab and im having trouble on what guitar settings or type I have to use to make it sound like yours. could you please tell me what were your amp settings? its been five days and all my attempts were empty handed.

It simultaneously resembles something familiar and at the same time seems original. Stunning.

@@AlexThorpe Ye! The first phrase of the chorus is in the same key and almost identical to OP 5 (Rain), minus some embellishments. The hooks of each chorus are exactly the same rhythmically and melodically (that 3 note line), and the notes and structure *almost* identical for the rest of the phrase too (this version repeats the hook 2 times, then plays this descending line in straight quarters, Rain has a small ascending line instead of repeating, but plays the same descending line, but with some 8ths and 16ths to vary the rhythm up). I assume it was a bit of an earworm when this video was being made given how close they are :P.

Most accurate anime-OP-formula video I've seen. The "upbeat groove + sad melody" is bang on. Many anime OPs would sound like ballads if played slowly.

I loved the fact that you actually mixed and edited the panning of the drums and the guitars. It really adds a lot to the piece.

So yeah. Nice video. Great song!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I laughed because of how you described how anime songs are, and I agreed lol, and I'm amazed because of the music you created! Thank you for making this epic music, brother!

One thing I can say for a fact about KZreadrs like you in general is that you really inspire ppl like me to embrace my musical side more than other mindless activities like video games and movies. Whilst I love and appreciate those video games and movies and the music that accompanies it I always want my core interests to remain on music and because music takes work to improve upon it can be easier after coming home from work to just hop on my games rather than turn on the amp. Awesome job my dude 👍

Im thinking of using the daw reaper to make my song since i have acess to more instruments than only piano.

I can hear the epic vocals singing about friendship and growing stronger.

If you genuinely think that, you're romanticizing Japan too much and don't listen to enough western music. You can find more simple and easy Japanese songs the same way you'd find American ones. You're just being purposefully biased because you're a weeb. Also even popular genres for zoomers like Japan City Pop is literally the Japanese trying to emulate what the west was doing with their funk crossover pop music.

This the definition of perfection! 👍

Smart and awesome! Love it man!
