Secret of Mana - Pure Night (Still of the Night), by Hiroki Kikuta
Let's just ignore the depression for 5 minutes and remember a time when the world was colorful.
😞😢😢
I know the struggle....
Its not the world. Its humanity that has lost the colors.
It's not the world guys, it's just one's perspective. Why not download an emulator and give it a run through again. X
OH MY GOSH THIS SONG. This song is the most beautifully haunting melody of my childhood...
After so many wonderful songs, it was this one that tore me out of the game and filled me with a sense of reverence, telling me that I was somewhere special and sacred, removed from time.
Never played the game when I was younger, but the track definitely still gives off those vibes.
Definitely in agreement here. The Pure Lands was an interesting place to be, the theme made it that much more magical. Another great place was where the song Ancient Dolphin played. Both places had very fitting music.
totally
This song certainly gave of a magical vibe. I was always induced with this feeling, that the world of Mana had still much more to offer and there were many more secrets to discover, just waiting under the surface, despite this song only appearing at the tale end of the game.
OH MY GOSH THIS COMMENT.
This captures a moment in time and a feeling in my heart that never fades. Thank you so much for the beauty you create with SoM
❤❤
Gorgeous as usual. I am so deeply impressed by your work! Thank you.
By the way, the Discord link you've provided in the description is not valid.
Ah, I must have copied an old link. This should be the right one: discord.gg/bmABPS
Pure land- such a haunting melody. Probably the most difficult part of the game. Love this cover
Yes 100% the most difficult part of the game ..if you wasn't well prepared for this part you wouldn't stand a chance
God yes, the Pure Land was a cast iron bitch to trog through. It is basically a long ass maze, boss gauntlet, and a true test of your endurance all rolled into one. When you got through it all though, it was so frigging rewarding!
SPOILER JUST IN CASE ANYONE READING HASN'T PLAYED YET: It was so much of I spike I had to look up what to do. Couldn't even get past the first few rooms without getting killed, and when I did finally get to the snake boss, I was dead in seconds. Once I found out you have to buy the best armor in the game by finding an obscure shop at the tree palace (the area right before the pure land) which is just around the castle, which I never would've thought to look. It was super easy after that, and the bosses weren't much of a threat. I don't know if I can call it the most difficult part, because without finding the obscure shop, it's nearly impossible, but with the armor it's not that hard.
@@1calv or grind your ass and magic too I usually dropped there when all my spells were level 7 and lv 70 ish. the best armors in the game is actually in the pure land from random monster drops like the best helmet for example, it can be rough to get them TBH.
@@TrollOmnipotence Griffin helm 👌🏻 the rest of the best armour/weapons are in the sky fortress ❤💪🏻
Thank you so much for uploading these songs. Just like many people of my generation (I was born in 1984), Secret of Mana is connected to very strong memories and emotions. As a musician myself (possibly thanks to Hiroki Kikuta), I really like how you play, with such respect to the arrangements and spirit of the songs. Every time I listen to your covers I feel deeply shaken and full of gratitude, it brings me peace and makes me feel more complete. Thank you.
Thanks! I'm glad there are other people out there who have the same emotional connection with the music, especially in the way it was arranged on the original system.
Absolutely gorgeous. I've long loved this particular track, and your rendition has made it all the more beautiful.
This brings back lot of memories of 1994.
For me 2003. Hours of game with my syster
@@SimuLord Where are you now in life? My darkest time is now, fighting for my son in divorce. I'm 42 and coming back to this is saving my life.
Good thing I stay up a little and this shows up! Awesome!
This one is one of my all time favorites... And you, sir, nailed it!
One more beautiful Secret of Mana song. One step closer to that complete Orchestral Fantasy cover soundtrack.
One of my favorites from SoM as well 💚 loved that it was in one of the tougher areas in the game too!
The string sound you got for this is incredible. Masterful work.
You play a recorder in there?! How.... How could you produce such a resounding flute and xylophone that it seems combined?! Amazing dude... That Secret of Mana, i gonna play it!
I did a little bit of studio trickery. I put a compressor on the recorder that was sidechained to the glockenspiel, so whenever I hit a note there it would slightly turn down the volume on the recorder. I also faded all the long notes out so that it matched the volume decrease of the percussion.
@@OrchestralFantasy The level of effort here definitely comes across, fantastic work!
@@OrchestralFantasy Oo, man. I don't know how it works, but such tricks exist, eh. It's amazing how people could think those things to enhance their performance

Subbed. UA-cam dropped the ball not putting this in my feed sooner. You are now right up there with Moonbow Music as my favorite Square cover artists.
Soothing music, but I still have ptsd from the first time I came here and was getting absolutely mauled by monsters because I missed the equipment upgrades in Neko's final shop.
😍
very good ...
Una maravilla escuchar esta version de secret of mana 😍
Wow, dude. The heartstrings, they have been pulled.
beautiful !
TwT .... beautiful
New amazing record capturing perfectly all the nuance and the very specific atmosphere of this SoM melody.
Keep doing the great work!!
Simply beautiful rendition, holy crap, you nailed it. My only caveat is that the song is actually called "Still of the Night" on the OST but amazing job, looking forward to your rendition of "Leave Time For Love".
Ah, true, I was slightly confused by that heh.
@@YYorle indeed, I had a hunch but wanted confirmation. "Still of the Night" is indeed the official title on the OST according to Hiroki Kikuta.
Looks like the "Pure Night" I got from my track list was a translation from the Japanese, where "Still of the Night" the title on the official English translation.
@@OrchestralFantasy still a beautiful rendition regardless. I've been watching your videos for a long time and you've done a splendid job capturing the essence of the originals with real instruments. That takes a Supreme amount of talent and passion for what you do. I also enjoy when you have others collaborate with you too. Does Danielle York have her own UA-cam channel? Because she's very talented and French Horn is not an easy instrument to play. Would love to hear more from her as well.
@@OrchestralFantasy I've always seen people call it "Pure Night" online.
Well, I want to explore a forest now. ^^ wonderful piece here.
Again another Home run with the mana soundtrack.
Nice
What a beautiful mood!
I was just playing Collection of Mana today! Beautiful song.
I must the tonality of early square enix. Other than octopath traveller on occasion they don’t seem to make stuff that I would describe as ‘achingly beautiful’ anymore
You should have been the person who remastered the OST of the Secret of Mana 2018 Remake.
this is then times better than the remake
Awesome
i appreciate the performance... but i'm registering some kind of distortion in the audio track, even on max youtube rez. . .
I think a little bit snuck in when I did limiting on the master. It's always nice to know people pay close attention :)
@@OrchestralFantasy is it like some kind of harmonic that accidentally summed to resonance and then clipped? because it comes in and out at the peaks it seems... like from 1:23 to about 1:40 it registers quite a few times. (i'm just asking to figure out where in the signal chain to look)
Beautiful! This cover is so... pure
One person couldn't sleep?
It probably reminded them of getting beaten up by Griffon Feet :)
@@OrchestralFantasy Or put to sleep by the mushrooms then beaten up by the feet... now I can't sleep.
Hauntingly beautiful.
Another masterpiece!!....wow!!
perfectly done, again
you completely nailed it. very faithful and eerie. Congrats!
the combination of the recorder and the glockenspiel almost makes it sound like a vibraphone
This is a beautiful cover :')
Excellent as always
I feel like it's been forever since my feed actually suggested something I wanted to see. This was a gift, thank you.
There is a consistent noise occuring in the right speaker/ear - sounds like an audio hickup? Fx at 01:02
I wish I could buy the Secret of Mana OST. Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger are two soundtracks I would love to be able to own.
This track is so haunting and beautiful. When you step into the Pure Land, you feel like you've walked into an undisturbed forest sanctuary that you should NOT be in. The enemies make you feel that way too.
awesome work sir... Cloud barrier map OST where MANA tree resides
One of my favorite songs of SoM, which was full of memorable songs. This game will forever have a special place in my heart.
Wooooow, the way you covered it is wonderful. I don't have any other word. The violin effect on the main rythm section is perfect.
Did I already say do the credits? ua-cam.com/video/gR_5m5gUFLk/v-deo.html edit: get Vic Wooten on Cameo to do the bass solo, just an idea ;)
This is an amazing version of one 浄夜 Still of the Night, of my favourite tunes of all time.
2024 and still rocks, awesome…
These are the best Secret of Mana renditions I've ever heard! Heartbreakingly good.
Magnifique !
danke dir 1000 mal
somehow this sounds even better and purer than the original, can't get over how well this man plays all these songs!
Hermosa melodía. Uno de los juegos de mi infancia.
Benzaie???? je plaisante. J'adore ce que tu fais et j'adore Secret of mana (PS : RIP Jérôme, il me comprendra...)
Anyone else notice the audio is quite clipped on this at some points? Might be worth a reupload or even a remaster at some point.
I have seen many renditions of this but yours is the only one to capture the actual tone correctly for what the place represents. Haunting as it should be and all because you chose the xylophone instead of a flute or piano.
A delight to my ears
Wish I had discovered your channel sooner.
I'm sure this song plays in heaven.
Masterfully done.
Pure indeed...
I really love this...
Love your channel and what you do
Your music conveys the original emotions so accurately that I frequently have to walk back to my computer to confirm I'm still on your playlist and not the OST. Thank you for making my days so much more enjoyable!
goosebumps
Phenomenal
😢😢😢 too beautiful
you are a magical man 🌟
love it. keep up the work
Just.... wow😲
Incredible!
Definitive.
The memories
すごい
I still have the Japanese CD of this soundtrack.
You, sir, are underrated.
Your channel is magical. Like it sends me to a realm where humans were living in peace and harmony. Thank you:)
I've always loved the boss battle motif at 1:46. You couldn't get more contrast between this song and that one, and yet they share this little melody.
Wonderful. Great talent. Thank you 👌🏻
