honestly I would like to here your thoughts on Camellia's self remix on "exit this earth's atOmosphere" But over all it's an amazing video, and it's also amazing to someone who actually knows music and stuf to react to Camellia's music
his music is made to listen on headphones. kind of loses its edge when played on speakers, but he's really far ahead of most producers when it comes to composition
Thanks you, i was about to write a whole paragraph about why listenning to camellia with headphones is essential to fully enjoy his masterpieces. Besides Camellia, speakers aren't made to follow the song's mixing, a snare on lower stages can be heard more than the main lead, and vice-versa (m a music producer myself and can ensure the importance of headphones) also late reply lmao
@@Dubstep_Insanity This is such utter bullshit, I presume you've never heard proper speakers / don't have much experience, but that isn't a reason to spread misinformation. Ignorance is bliss.
The entirety of Camellia music is just: 1) Calm 2) Massive buildup with instrument change 3) DROP INCOMING 4) trolled lol 5) ACTUAL DROP INCOMING 6) Insane drop
I thought people who aren’t into the J-Core scene at all, would find his music too complex and overwhelming to enjoy, but only GHOST seemed to overwhelm him really.
agreed, it was very surprising. though imho he should revisit this as most of his newer tracks including his most recent Tera I/O album are (in my opinion) complete bangers and would absolutely destroy anyone that isn't into this stuffs' minds
Just wanna say, the Japanese EDM scene is well worth your time if you find the right artists and labels. Some incredibly produced tunes in there that I am sure you will love
i really appreciate this guy's constructive criticism. he doesn't skew one way or the other, just gives his unobstructed first thoughts. refreshing in this landscape of extremists on this hellscape website. bravo, sir.
The last drop on light it up is seriously my favourite drop I've ever heard. Such an amazing energy, really the peak of his production there. Love the melody, bass,kick , everything, really peak camellia
Camellia’s music is mainly known in the rhythm game community so it is definitely very sporadic and doesn’t have the same feeling without having experienced it in that sense. He has made songs that work really well as standalone pieces but his style is mostly like what you saw. The songs that were recommended are some of his most well known ones but not necessarily his best work. His music isn’t really a specific genre of EDM and he’s known to be a jack of all trades when it comes to EDM in general, he constantly switches genres and will probably never stick to any in particular
100% sad you didn't get to check out his better tracks. Like other people said, these are his big titles but they're not the best by far. You should definitely do another one of these at some point!
@@JuanVazquez-si9xq His music is so varied that it's difficult to pick songs to recommend, you'd be better off listening to his albums and choosing the favorites yourself. The albums I've enjoyed the most so far are the following: Xronial Xero, Blackmagick Blazing, Heart of Android, Cyphisonia, Invaidas from da Jungle and Galaxy Burst
Out of all the songs on blackmagik blazing, I feel like nasty nasty spell was one of the worst to exemplify the music imho. Love the song, but it's not representative of the energy he could've brought.
Hey, quick comment here. There's a few things you might want to know. I have no right to blame you for the conclusions you went to, as in fact they were pretty accurate for the few tracks you got to comment on in this video. However, one thing you should probably realise is that the fact that when you say the music is just out of nowhere and surprising and you kind of don't know why it ends up where it does, it's most likely intentional. That's his style. In fact, most of the songs you listened to are not even that unpredictable. The selection of the songs was imperfect to say the least (again, no blaming you for that), as three out of five songs were, let's say, "old" (2015 and early 2016. Not actually that old theoretically but he has improved a LOT since then, and that's visible with your opinions as well, as Nasty Nasty Spell is from 2019), and kind of mainstream popular picks of his. If you want to see how unpredictable he gets, to convince you that's really just his style, here's a few titles: Qyoh (2020, 7/8 time signature lol), [ns] (2018), SECRET BOSS (2019), Another Xronixle (2020), Nacreous Snowmelt (2019), Xronial Xero (2020). Give them a listen if you want. Of course, when he makes more mainstream genres, this unpredic tability of his doesn't serve him well due to the fact that he probably doesn't retain as much of an audience from them as he could - so I can understand your point especially in songs like Light it Up or Exit this Earth's Atomosphere. In fact, a lot of his music regularly goes way above what you have listened to here, reaching up to (I think) 335BPM in Xronial Xero, so the usual predictability might not be the way to go, as that's rarely a tempo to bang your head to, and it might be wise to instead settle on experimenting and trying out different concepts to surprise the listener. I'm pretty convinced this is what keeps Camellia's avid fanbase dedicated, in fact. Personally, what makes me enjoy his music so much is the composition primarily. He seems to be taking immense pleasure in spitting at I V vi IV with it, while keeping it relatively simple most of the time. Another point is that I believe his production might be lacking due to the ridiculous speed at which the guy works. He's only rising in popularity and momentum, and I'm fairly certain he already has an over 500 song portfolio. He might have noticed that production often escapes the ears of casual listeners not into music production, and decided not to spend a lot of time on it for the benefit of his speed. Speculation, of course, and I'm not saying that's necessarily a good excuse. Lastly, thanks for making the video in the first place, and giving criticism and credit where they are due. Very on point commentary in my opinion, to the song selection you were limited to. I hope you discover more of his amazing works. Here are some of my favourites to start with: Z:iRNiTRA (2020), Arcology on Permafrost (2018), Routing (2016), Heart of Android :: Even if it's only by Mechanism (2018), liquated (2015), Towards the Horizon (2017?), #1f1e33 (2020), Relic in Letters (2015). Cheers.
oh yeah, and I also recommend Beyond the Geostationary Orbit Level. It's a sequel to Exit this Earth's Atomosphere, made three years later, and produced much, much better.
@@nekrovx ghost isn't that great of a track (at least not deserving the spot of representing Camellia) by itself, when paired with any rhythm game the constant notes paired with the beat drops make it way more powerful
@@zentryii ghost is my favorite track of his, it does get repetitive but i don't care. i've listened to it hundreds of times throughout the years and i'm still not sick of it. probably just the fact that i love overwhelming and complicated rhythms and beats
A little surprised that you didn’t get more song recommendations from Blackmagik blazing and Xronial Xero, two of his much more recent albums. The majority of the ones that you listened to here were more bigger tracks in the rythm game community and I don’t think a great representation of camellia as an arist currently. I would have recommended tracks such as looking for the edge of ground, nacreous snowmelt, killerbeast, Z:irnitra, etc. all much more recent songs of his. Your review of the songs you heard were absolutely correct, but I feel you could have gotten a better choice of songs to listen to. edit: spelling errors
Agreed, all of the recommended songs were old enough to be judged in today's perspective (but still, they're sick tunes). His latest releases are fire as hell
I soooooooo much agree with you, soooo many things missed here, but still. It's a great honour that someone have reacted to Camellia, even if he's not the mainstream type of artist, and it's still so satisfying to know that these videos finally start to exist ! REACTIONS TO CAMELLIA, YEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Surprised he only listened to Nasty Nasty Spell. imo it's the worst song in yhe album. (Still a good song though. The entire Black Majic Blazing album is amazing)
I feel like these songs are best enjoyed through things like Rhythm games. It really tells you what you're supposed to be focusing on. Hearing the songs without any context is a little jarring. They're just so high energy, that it's hard to keep track of what you're supposed to pay attention to.
Definitely. Songs with really high energy levels are sometimes better enjoyed when doing something intense with them, like playing a rhythm game for example or running or something like that.
I think it’s really really difficult to pick just 5 camellia tracks as examples. His discography is so large and varied that if you asked a bunch of camellia fans what their favorite songs of his were, you’d almost certainly get wildly different answers from each of them. Would love to see you revisit him someday, but either way I loved hearing your thoughts on his work all the same! Differing perspectives is cool. :)
Also, I really love the chaotic and disorganized nature of his music personally, but I can also see where you’re coming from. It’s definitely a matter of preference.
Good choices, but I would already request a second part, there is SOOO MUCH camellia out there. - Nightmare City - Madd Bleep - Wolves standing towards enemies - Megalovania Remix - Nacreous Snowmelt Those would have been my 5 picks and none of them are in the video xD but that was expected tbh, he has sooo much music and also genres
My Picks here too! -Nightmare City - [BLEED BLOOD] - #1f1e33 - Wolves Standing towards Enemies - Secret Boss | (This one really Fire i swear) × (Not a song but you guys insert some SDVX Tracks/VIP Albums here there are tons of Gold)
Hello! Try wearing headphones next time-- a lot is lost without them! Your mixing comments sound like an issue with your speakers based on the feedback your mic is giving...
It's a cardioid. The speaker is behind the mic. Not a valid concern. Also did you really suggest headphones when he most likely owns very good speakers? Edm sounds better on speakers especially if it's good monitors. Anyway cheers.
Camellias music takes time to adjust to. I find most of his songs better on the second or third listen. Though taking each song apart and picking details that don’t shine so bright is definitely a good way to understand the music.
Jeez,there are about +500 of his song and you guys should have picked the best of him.Like,where is Crystallized,Feelin Sky (200 step remix),Epimerization,Z:Irnitra,NIGHTMARE CITY,Nacreous Snowmelt,Exit this earth's atomosphere(200 step remix),The King of Lion and etc?
As someone whose one of all time favorite pieces of music is Xronial Xero by Camellia (yes, that 335bpm shatterer of ears and brains), it was surely interesting to hear these songs are all over the place! I suppose rhythm gaming since 2005 has skewed the way I hear music.
The biggest thing about this is that Camellia purposefully makes their music messy in some parts but insanely massive and perfect at the high points, another thing is a lot of these tunes are older, some even being years old, along with the fact that camellia is made to be a mesh of massive amounts of genres all mashed together, it’s just a artist that is made to sound different and rough.
I like camellia cause of Rhythm games so my perspectives are different when listening to music like this instead of standalone like how you do it. My way, I judge the music in the way how it goes when it is charted in the rhythm games I play tho
@bigkusa 53 its hard to choose a top 1 fav track haha but probably these: Enantiomorphs, Nacreous Snowmelt, Crystallized, and may be Exit this earth or either Beyond the Geostationary orbit level. all of his songs are great xd
Camellia makes their own type of music , Camellia is a genre , yes it may be chaotic but this is their goal , it needs to be so messy . i do understand your opinion BUT this is not a music creator you can put in a category . They do not focus on what everyone else does , I mean- I am not saying that this is the most amazing and perfect artist , even tho they're very close to that title in my own opinion . They are being original , and to be honest they just make music so people can shit themselves when playing Osu! ( not only Osu! but you get me ) . Each of the songs you listened to are a bit different , one was more "dreamy" one was giving some kind of "Halloween" vibe , and in case of Exit This Earth's Atmosphere it was more of a energetic vibe , very unique . And that's something that only Camellia did so far , so we cannot really compare him to .. any one ? ( It would be dumb to compare Camellia to t+pazolite or Roughsketch for example ) . Great video btw , I just wanted to give my pov
Experiencing Camellia in rythm games I think its mainly the the best thing. especially beat saber... Feeling the music 1 time in vr is the thing that got me to listening to his tracks, - Ghost is one of my favs there. (one of my like 20 favs out of his some 100 songs)
Ive been a fan for really long time and i have like 30 ish absolute faves that i will never get bored of, which is like 1/5 something of his whole discorgraphy and the rest makes my head hurts. his music feels like hanging out with a friend thats very ambitious, awesome, full of potential and will keep trying to get better, but most of the time they’re too much to handle but u still always reminded that they’re so fcking wonderful. sometimes i revisit tracks that didnt make it to me the first few listens and then they hit different
A nice prank would be to make someone to listen to Kobaryo and all his aliases (without telling) and then just tell them that all of this is just one dude. Every time Camellia is mentioned I can't help but also think about other cool guys out there.
Tl;dr: this music is made for pain and you need the video games to experience it The thing about camellia music is that most of it is found in rhythm games, which add a whole new level of adrenaline and intensity, and when the song might seem quieter, like the second part of light it up, is that the game is much harder at that point, so there's no need to blow out your ears
im still here even after 2021, would love to see you do remixes and 'correct' the flaws you mentioned in the video because it might be insightful to alot of people (free video idea too i guess?)
@@Mioscape Well, because camellia makes music for rhythm games. They have different structure and are focusing on different things than "mainstream" bass music/edm
This video is really well done actually. As an amateur music producer inspired a lot by his stuff, it's good to finally hear what you see as flaws in his tracks. Because everything has flaws but everyone keeps praising his tracks like they're literally perfect. It's just a good feeling I guess that even Came that everyone praises also makes mistakes. Keep it up!
Where's Nanahira? I'm disappointed in this community. The callabs with camellia and Nanahira are definitely some of the best productions I've ever heard, or maybe it's just because I'm a *_f^cking weeb_*
For me the reason why I put camellia above others is that even though the production isn't the greatest the variety and creativity always entertains me
Great video :) Camellia uses a very wide range of styles in his music and there's way more to discover out there, this is only a small bit of his great career. His music goes all the way from Classical to Hardstyle, and every single track has its own spirit. He has made over 20 albums in the past 10 years so you'll have plenty of choice for different styles, you'll find pretty much every single electro style you can think of. I would recommend listening to d:For the Delta, #1f1e33, Nightmare City (or the whole Blackmagik Blazing album), and his album Cyphisonia E.P. which is one of my favorites; it's so beautiful and emotional. Planet//Shaper, heart of android and Crystallized are extremely good as well
glad one of the ones that were chosen was light it up definitely one of the best imo ive been listening for a while since is song was in a gd level and i love it
Aw heart of android is such a good album, its one of his most consistently fantastic albums, not that I think any of his tracks are bad, but some lose the energy that the previous track built up when listening to it in "order". This album maintains a lot of it and keeps it flowing which makes a full listen through much enjoyable.
The Japanese dubstep and epic trance from Camellia have a listen. *Camellia - We Could Get More Machinegun Psystyle *Camellia feat. Nanahira - べィスドロップ・フリークス *camellia - Senpai notice me *Camellia - Nani the fuck *Camellia - bass drop freaks *Camellia feat. Nanahira ロウスタイル
dude, if you thought ghost was too much, then camellia's Halloween sevenplus remix is like camellia on every type of drug possible in the western world B)
It's so weird seeing how much J-Core has cracked into a more global and popular light, I don't just have to buy CD's from sketchy Tokyo bookstore basements any more
I really wish his Tera I/O album had released by the time this video was out, I would love to see you react to love Fly Wit Me and the title track Tera I/O, those are two of my favorites
There are some things about how Camellia mixes his tracks that aren't really healthy (e.g. mixing at +3db). So it's kinda natural that you don't hear much of percussion and stuff you normally would've heard Great reaction btw, I was really surprised that you were actually breaking down some things and actually critiquing. It's a rare find among reaction videos (from what I've experienced)
You will find that the blackmagik blazing album has a few amazing tunes I think you should take a look at- Luin of celchar (Spelling is probably off) Night raid with a dragon Blackmagik blazing (title song) Personal favourites from that album~
Imagine how bad this guy would hate Z:IrNiTrA Edit: he even said, "So much potential here if it was a bit more refined and concentrated." Again, he would hate Z:IrNiTRa
Z: irnitra is, for me, the best synthesized composition ever made (the least of all I've heard in my life). It is unbeatable, except for its mix, but the sound quality is secondary to the artistic cohesion. I would be very funny if what you say happened.
Ghost isn't Camellia's best track but like super popular thanks to Beat Saber. It's perfect for Beat Saber as a hard track because of the ridiculous "energy" as you said and the ambitious switches. It's fast and unhinged, maybe not the best for a song, perfect for an insanely hard track. Edit: also why tf was Exit this Earth's Atmosphere picked the most 😭😭
Camellia is god ((Side note two songs by him that I absolutely love are: Seashore on the Moon, and Looking for Edge of Ground Played them on osu! And now a few hundred listens deep.))
THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER. Big ups to everyone who sent in tunes, let me know what you thought of the vid! 💙💙

Jeez guys calm down osu isn't the only good rhythm game out there
@@oonkadoonk544 everybody is calm osu is pretty fun so is osu mania
A little surprised that you didn’t get more song recommendations from Blackmagik blazing and Xronial Xero, two of his much more recent albums. The majority of the ones that you listened to here were more bigger tracks in the rythm game community and I don’t think a great representation of camellia as an arist currently. I would have recommended tracks such as looking for the edge of ground, nacreous snowmelt, killerbeast, Z:irnitra, etc. all much more recent songs of his. Your review of the songs you heard were absolutely correct, but I feel you could have gotten a better choice of songs to listen to.
edit: spelling errors
Agreed, all of the recommended songs were old enough to be judged in today's perspective (but still, they're sick tunes). His latest releases are fire as hell
@cytrackofficial Lol geometry dash is not even a rhythm game
I soooooooo much agree with you, soooo many things missed here, but still. It's a great honour that someone have reacted to Camellia, even if he's not the mainstream type of artist, and it's still so satisfying to know that these videos finally start to exist ! REACTIONS TO CAMELLIA, YEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Surprised he only listened to Nasty Nasty Spell. imo it's the worst song in yhe album. (Still a good song though. The entire Black Majic Blazing album is amazing)
@cytrackofficial the gd community is trash, i agree
Connors jawline looking fresh today 😳🤩
A fresh boi
I feel like these songs are best enjoyed through things like Rhythm games. It really tells you what you're supposed to be focusing on. Hearing the songs without any context is a little jarring. They're just so high energy, that it's hard to keep track of what you're supposed to pay attention to.
Definitely. Songs with really high energy levels are sometimes better enjoyed when doing something intense with them, like playing a rhythm game for example or running or something like that.
@@lauridsen1381 fucking nailed it
@@lauridsen1381 you nailed it there
@@lauridsen1381 ayo mans predicted Camellia's new 175 bpm running mix lmao
no way ultracum
I think it’s really really difficult to pick just 5 camellia tracks as examples. His discography is so large and varied that if you asked a bunch of camellia fans what their favorite songs of his were, you’d almost certainly get wildly different answers from each of them. Would love to see you revisit him someday, but either way I loved hearing your thoughts on his work all the same! Differing perspectives is cool. :)
Also, I really love the chaotic and disorganized nature of his music personally, but I can also see where you’re coming from. It’s definitely a matter of preference.
Good choices, but I would already request a second part, there is SOOO MUCH camellia out there.
- Nightmare City
- Madd Bleep
- Wolves standing towards enemies
- Megalovania Remix
- Nacreous Snowmelt
Those would have been my 5 picks and none of them are in the video xD but that was expected tbh, he has sooo much music and also genres
Nacerous snow melt is the absolute bomb.
@@bingsu_au So is nightmare city and killer beast omg they're amazing. His new album is awesome too
@@uumaterial oh hell yeah The new album.
The hype one is Milli0n PP
My Picks here too!
-Nightmare City
- [BLEED BLOOD]
- #1f1e33
- Wolves Standing towards Enemies
- Secret Boss | (This one really Fire i swear)
× (Not a song but you guys insert some SDVX Tracks/VIP Albums here there are tons of Gold)
Honestly though? re:||BIRTH/re:||VERSE, though unfortunately those two are a bit hard to find
Hello! Try wearing headphones next time-- a lot is lost without them! Your mixing comments sound like an issue with your speakers based on the feedback your mic is giving...
It's a cardioid. The speaker is behind the mic. Not a valid concern.
Also did you really suggest headphones when he most likely owns very good speakers? Edm sounds better on speakers especially if it's good monitors. Anyway cheers.
Funny, Ghost and Earth's Atmosphere are both my favorites from Camellia, I just love the more chaotic energy of them, I love chaotic intense music.
I love his rude buster remix
haha you love chaotic intense music, same! literally how i describe my music taste to anyone
Camellias music takes time to adjust to. I find most of his songs better on the second or third listen. Though taking each song apart and picking details that don’t shine so bright is definitely a good way to understand the music.
The more I listen the more little details I find and I love it
The first Camellia experience is better with headphones
Jeez,there are about +500 of his song and you guys should have picked the best of him.Like,where is Crystallized,Feelin Sky (200 step remix),Epimerization,Z:Irnitra,NIGHTMARE CITY,Nacreous Snowmelt,Exit this earth's atomosphere(200 step remix),The King of Lion and etc?
Honestly I prefer Xerionial Xero to Z:IRINTRA
@@piedoeshobbies2540 well, it's just preferences, there nothing can be done here
I get it, the original Atomosphere is a classic, but the remix is way better, same with Feelin Sky.
@@Zymasis39_ I agree with you. For me both of them are still slappin tho
Machinegun Psystyle, Megalovania remix, Rude Buster remix
As someone whose one of all time favorite pieces of music is Xronial Xero by Camellia (yes, that 335bpm shatterer of ears and brains), it was surely interesting to hear these songs are all over the place! I suppose rhythm gaming since 2005 has skewed the way I hear music.
Alone intelligence is good as well
The biggest thing about this is that Camellia purposefully makes their music messy in some parts but insanely massive and perfect at the high points, another thing is a lot of these tunes are older, some even being years old, along with the fact that camellia is made to be a mesh of massive amounts of genres all mashed together, it’s just a artist that is made to sound different and rough.
every time it skipped around i was like “let him finish 😔”
Newspapers for magicians is my favourite tbh
You should listen to PSYQUI
Oh yeas he should react to PSYQUI
hardcore fb god
I like camellia cause of Rhythm games so my perspectives are different when listening to music like this instead of standalone like how you do it. My way, I judge the music in the way how it goes when it is charted in the rhythm games I play tho
Pretty much agree with most of the things said here. Production aside, his tracks are epic IMO. Thanks for the video!
9:20 "very savant" :D my first thought when i did listen to CAMELLIA
if he didnt like GHOST, he definitely won't like killerbeast
also GHOST VIP is also pretty damn good
@bigkusa 53 imo the VIP hits harder.
@bigkusa 53 yeah
whats your fav Camellia song? :)
@bigkusa 53 its hard to choose a top 1 fav track haha but probably these: Enantiomorphs, Nacreous Snowmelt, Crystallized, and may be Exit this earth or either Beyond the Geostationary orbit level. all of his songs are great xd
5:14 yea its from his solo album "Heart of Android"
Highly recommend to check it out.
Aw ghost is so good.
I liked the kitchen-step vibe with the snare
Camellia makes their own type of music , Camellia is a genre , yes it may be chaotic but this is their goal , it needs to be so messy . i do understand your opinion BUT this is not a music creator you can put in a category . They do not focus on what everyone else does , I mean- I am not saying that this is the most amazing and perfect artist , even tho they're very close to that title in my own opinion . They are being original , and to be honest they just make music so people can shit themselves when playing Osu! ( not only Osu! but you get me ) . Each of the songs you listened to are a bit different , one was more "dreamy" one was giving some kind of "Halloween" vibe , and in case of Exit This Earth's Atmosphere it was more of a energetic vibe , very unique . And that's something that only Camellia did so far , so we cannot really compare him to .. any one ? ( It would be dumb to compare Camellia to t+pazolite or Roughsketch for example ) . Great video btw , I just wanted to give my pov
personally one of my favorite camellia songs is "why do you hate me". reminds me of doom crossed with a rhythm game and i absolutely love it
I'm honestly surprised that not many people picked his Megalovania Remix
Spoke too soon parts of Megalovania remix were appeared on beatmania IIDX
I for sure knew exit this earths atomosphere would get selected.
Experiencing Camellia in rythm games I think its mainly the the best thing.
especially beat saber...
Feeling the music 1 time in vr is the thing that got me to listening to his tracks, - Ghost is one of my favs there. (one of my like 20 favs out of his some 100 songs)
Ive been a fan for really long time and i have like 30 ish absolute faves that i will never get bored of, which is like 1/5 something of his whole discorgraphy and the rest makes my head hurts.
his music feels like hanging out with a friend thats very ambitious, awesome, full of potential and will keep trying to get better, but most of the time they’re too much to handle but u still always reminded that they’re so fcking wonderful. sometimes i revisit tracks that didnt make it to me the first few listens and then they hit different
I see camellia I click
Definitely listen to his more recent music like his 200step songs/remixes and his recent album Tera I/O
You should listen to Gram vs. Camellia - Ragnarok
It's one of the best speedcore tracks ever created.
This
Camellia's songs Yesterday and Final-Boss-Chan are so epic
A nice prank would be to make someone to listen to Kobaryo and all his aliases (without telling) and then just tell them that all of this is just one dude. Every time Camellia is mentioned I can't help but also think about other cool guys out there.
Tl;dr: this music is made for pain and you need the video games to experience it
The thing about camellia music is that most of it is found in rhythm games, which add a whole new level of adrenaline and intensity, and when the song might seem quieter, like the second part of light it up, is that the game is much harder at that point, so there's no need to blow out your ears
Would love some more Camellia reactions man, he's released some absolute bangers over the year.
im still here even after 2021, would love to see you do remixes and 'correct' the flaws you mentioned in the video because it might be insightful to alot of people (free video idea too i guess?)
Yeah these are his old tracks. He's gotten much better
Welcome to rhythm game music.
What
@@Mioscape Well, because camellia makes music for rhythm games. They have different structure and are focusing on different things than "mainstream" bass music/edm
@@yannhe beatsaber, gd, osu, etc
@@sk83r59 yeah but gd isnt a rythm game
Would have been better if he picked
Another xronixle
Crystallized
Nacreous Snowmelt
Qyoh
Exit this earth atomosphere 200step remix
Hassan Ali i like the original exit this earths atomosphere ngl.
@@grass9518 same honestly
But the newer is like, *sounds better*
While I prefer the *old* one because of the feel of it.
Nacreous snowmelt, it's completely insane
@@yushacchi yesss it really pushes limits
1 million pp
This video is really well done actually. As an amateur music producer inspired a lot by his stuff, it's good to finally hear what you see as flaws in his tracks. Because everything has flaws but everyone keeps praising his tracks like they're literally perfect. It's just a good feeling I guess that even Came that everyone praises also makes mistakes. Keep it up!
Nawty: There's so much going on, so many different aproaches, the prodution not quite on point.
me: *sweats in 574 listens in a year*
Where's Nanahira?
I'm disappointed in this community.
The callabs with camellia and Nanahira are definitely some of the best productions I've ever heard, or maybe it's just because I'm a *_f^cking weeb_*
well that wouldnt really be much of a focus on camellia, and more on nanahira then. and I'd be surprised if he enjoyed denpa :(
For me the reason why I put camellia above others is that even though the production isn't the greatest the variety and creativity always entertains me
listening to camellia’s music is like just when you thought it’s the fastest prt of the song, it gets faster.....
Great video :) Camellia uses a very wide range of styles in his music and there's way more to discover out there, this is only a small bit of his great career.
His music goes all the way from Classical to Hardstyle, and every single track has its own spirit. He has made over 20 albums in the past 10 years so you'll have plenty of choice for different styles, you'll find pretty much every single electro style you can think of.
I would recommend listening to d:For the Delta, #1f1e33, Nightmare City (or the whole Blackmagik Blazing album), and his album Cyphisonia E.P. which is one of my favorites; it's so beautiful and emotional.
Planet//Shaper, heart of android and Crystallized are extremely good as well
glad one of the ones that were chosen was light it up definitely one of the best imo ive been listening for a while since is song was in a gd level and i love it

No roughsketch :(
Nff oof
Who didn't request Machinegun Psystyle
Aw heart of android is such a good album, its one of his most consistently fantastic albums, not that I think any of his tracks are bad, but some lose the energy that the previous track built up when listening to it in "order". This album maintains a lot of it and keeps it flowing which makes a full listen through much enjoyable.
The Japanese dubstep and epic trance from Camellia have a listen.
*Camellia - We Could Get More Machinegun Psystyle

dude, if you thought ghost was too much, then camellia's Halloween sevenplus remix is like camellia on every type of drug possible in the western world B)
When playing these songs in rhythm games for example osu, the manic and overwhelming-ness (?) is blood pumping. My fav artist for rhythm games by far.
It's so weird seeing how much J-Core has cracked into a more global and popular light, I don't just have to buy CD's from sketchy Tokyo bookstore basements any more
Everyone gangsta until the last drop
Arche, Killerbeast, Finorza, and werewolf howls are some of my favourites by him :3
Finorza is amazing :O
I really wish his Tera I/O album had released by the time this video was out, I would love to see you react to love Fly Wit Me and the title track Tera I/O, those are two of my favorites
I haven't even got to the end of the video and I'm already calling it, Exit This Earth's Atomosphere will be the most requested
Edit: yUh! I was right
he needs to do this again with his really good songs, these are like surface level ones
The worst part of this, was that all the most popular songs picked had worse mixing than most of the other songs
also you have to appreciate that Exit this earth's atmosphere is 5 YEARS OLD, dude lived/lives in the future
Lets make him listen to kamome sano! Especially "/"
YES OMG
THIS
Idk if you still listen to him sometimes, but he let out a new album yesterday called Tera I/O and they're all bangers
would like to see another camellia listen again except with more recent songs!
please do a second part of this!
personally I think camellia is best listened to with headphones.
There are some things about how Camellia mixes his tracks that aren't really healthy (e.g. mixing at +3db). So it's kinda natural that you don't hear much of percussion and stuff you normally would've heard
Great reaction btw, I was really surprised that you were actually breaking down some things and actually critiquing. It's a rare find among reaction videos (from what I've experienced)
I love heart of android
Thank you for hearing that album for the first track by camellia
You will find that the blackmagik blazing album has a few amazing tunes I think you should take a look at-
Luin of celchar (Spelling is probably off)
Night raid with a dragon
Blackmagik blazing (title song)
Personal favourites from that album~
I'm a bit upset that Tojita Sekai is so far down in the list. It's arguably one of his best works even today.
true, the buildup fromthe start to the main drop is god
it's cuz he listened on speakers bro
@@mystic5008 I assume he's listening with monitors. You lose no detail at all. (In fact some sound engineers prefer it over studio headphones)
@@Kryexe damn nvm haha guess its just opinion then
Imagine how bad this guy would hate Z:IrNiTrA
Edit: he even said, "So much potential here if it was a bit more refined and concentrated."
Again, he would hate Z:IrNiTRa
Z: irnitra is, for me, the best synthesized composition ever made (the least of all I've heard in my life). It is unbeatable, except for its mix, but the sound quality is secondary to the artistic cohesion. I would be very funny if what you say happened.
Ghost isn't Camellia's best track but like super popular thanks to Beat Saber. It's perfect for Beat Saber as a hard track because of the ridiculous "energy" as you said and the ambitious switches. It's fast and unhinged, maybe not the best for a song, perfect for an insanely hard track.
Edit: also why tf was Exit this Earth's Atmosphere picked the most 😭😭
Camellia is god
((Side note two songs by him that I absolutely love are: Seashore on the Moon, and Looking for Edge of Ground
Played them on osu! And now a few hundred listens deep.))
