Well of course. He wouldn't want this fate for his sister, & would gladly accept this fate in order to save his sister. This is the natural behavior of humans.

Keiichi Okabe is just a musical genius and no one can convince me otherwise. His work has the ability to give anyone goosebumps within the first note. His attention to detail is unmatched. The masterpieces he’s created for this franchise is insane

9:17 As one of those "really into NieR lore" people who just got their english copy of Grimoire NieR: Page 205 "August 3, 2053 (Weather: cloudy) ... It's cold. Salt is falling, and it looks just like snow." It's not clear if this is the exact same day depicted in game, but it matches what we see.

"Snow in Summer" strikes me as a sort of "Winter" song. Not like one of those "winter wonderland, sleigh bells, Corporate Holi-CHRISTMAS" songs typically associated with the season, but more like "I am litterally freezing to death in -20° F weather and struggling to survive in the worst blizzard in a century. Please help me." That's what "Snow in Summer" makes me think of.

Holy SHIT this blew me away. I've been obsessing over Nier's respective soundtracks for YEARS and am so happy to see such thorough and thoughtful coverage of this song! It's arguably one of the game's backbone tracks but kind of gets slept on a lot. I especially appreciate the effort that you put into connecting this analysis to the lore. Don't get me wrong, the "musician reacts to X OST!" format is fun, but it always leaves me wishing for a meatier deep-dive into the song's actual construction. My background is in classical ballet rather than playing any particular instrument, but it's definitely taught me to listen to this kind of music with a lot of intention. There are many ways in which OSTs like Nier's remind me of how music functions in ballets as a storytelling element, especially when it reacts or changes according to what's happening on the screen or stage. Thanks so much for sharing this!

By the way, the v1.22 Snow in Summer is actually composed by Ryuichi Takada of the MONACA team. From my memory there are only 2 tracks in which Keiichi Okabe have a role in: he composed "Fleeting Words - Family" (which is great) and co-composed "Analogous Memories". I think this is an important point because most of my favorite tracks in this epic work are from Ryuichi Takada.

When you mentioned the bells somehow corrupting the choir part, that actually ties into some deep lore. You see, bells were the main instrument associated with the Watcher/The White Giant, the being that fell from the sky and caused White Chlorination Syndrome. You hear this in "The Final Song" in Drakenguard 3 and more recently, "Her Inflorescence" in the Nier raid in Final Fantasy 14.

I've always loved the start of replicant, and snow in summer is definitely a part of that. The tension in the song itself already lends to storytelling, but seeing the snow before we're clued in that its summer just adds even more tension. You dont know why this feels off yet, you just know it does. But as soon as we're clued in that its summer, suddenly the whole mood changes. We're thrown for a loop within the first few minutes and its beautiful

Nice analysis! I particularly am a sucker for songs like this that add tracks in while you progress through certain gameplay elements. It’s one of those uniquely video game feelings you can’t replicate since there is no gameplay cue while listening to an OST on its own. Having a little music background helped me, but your explanations behind the theory felt easy to understand from a pure feelings standpoint if I hadn’t!

I will forever say NieR is and always will be The Definitive example of a series that feels like it's games were built around it's soundtrack, without that actually being the case. You don't even have to hear any of the tracks to know just how much tlc went into this series' ost, from the way they layer the different song versions to create Dynamic Tracks, to using an 8-bit filter for the seamless transitions into Hacking Versions of every song, and of course creating your own language so tracks with lyrics could be played during Cutscenes without confusing listeners but still getting across what you should be feeling during said Cutscenes... 👌 Absolute Master Class Conceptualizing!

I feel like your commentary on how the core choral tune leaves us wanting resolution but only getting a troubled one could encapsulate the game in its entirety. All 5 endings later, and we’re still left with a weighty, distant, “And everybody died. The end.” Not that I would change that. It’s perfect like that.

Snow in Summer has always been one of my favs Nier songs and i'm happy more people are appreciating it

I think my favorite part of the Replicant ver 1.22etc ver of this composition is the added staggering choir voice distortion towards the end of the track. It adds something of a feel of a fragmented memory

the OSTs from Replicant/Automata, they have the power to fiddle with your heart's strings, and will do, that's why they have remained in my mind ever since i played those games. Gotta thank Okabe-san for making me interested in music theory, specially when it's about dissecting the aforementioned pieces. Superb Analysis!

When i played Replicant 1.22 for the first time, or rather when the new version of Snow in Summer was released by SE on youtube "Snow in Summer" quickly became one of my favorite musical pieces ever and well not being a musician i had no idea why.

I'm extremely happy to hear that. Thanks so much for saying so!

The intro to NieR is so perfect, lightning in a bottle. It’s jarring, emotional, and immediately puts you in a place of discomfort. And then suddenly the rest of the game feels totally disjointed and disconnected from it for hours on end. But because it’s such a harsh and stark contrast, it stays in the back of your mind for the entirety of the game. “Haunting” is the perfect word, it feels like you just know at some point the game will reveal that connection and the significance of those starting moments, and break you. And then suddenly, the song plays once more, it delivers, and does just that.

Absolutely brilliant breakdown of what makes the NieR soundtrack so hauntingly beautiful.

Such an underrated video!! I've been a huge fan of the nier soundtracks for years now, but having had no musical education I was never able to pinpoint exactly why Okabe's works make me feel certain ways, let alone trying to understand technically how powerful they are.

What a wonderful video ❤️

Absolutely amazing analysis man even tho I’m watching it with bad speakers (ip7+ lol) It’s so nice to see many people get into such “quaility” content and easy to get the points. Btw I love the “Crumbling lies” track, I was stunned for the introduction by literally playing half of the game lmaoo hopefully you will analise that track, I had enjoyed that intro a hundred times and never got bored, but the feelings for the first time experienced would never be coming back :(

I LOVE that track, I'll have to talk about it for sure. It'll be a while though.
