I will not lose this staring contest.
Best of luck.
Did you win?
So how is the result?
@@rosinaya i still havent blinked...but all I see is her face
What a madlad
there is no lazy or generic soundtracks for mick, every character and environment has its own music
I think Riptor's theme in this game feels kinda generic to me personally. Not as "out there and in your face" as all the other character themes. Probably should have been a remix of her KI1 theme like what was done with Cinder.
@@gjtrue because it's sounds different doesn't mean it's generic.
@@gjtrue at least compared to the other themes.
@@Vitor20XX ill admit. Its a miss for me
@@Vitor20XX Except for the objective fact that it is.
Still here in 2023. Hisako is one of the most unique, creepy and awesome characters in any fighting game! I love it!
me to
@JustBBz daps up
I totally agree!
her trailer is fucking nuts. the VA went off
me too!
3:08..."They say every year, in the darkest nights, you can still hear them...the children...singing the fabled song of Hype."
The ki motiff is great
Mick just doesn't make bad music.
He doesn't know how to do that!👌😊
Badass music is more like it.
Riptor and Sadira songs are pretty bad. But the rest have been stellar.
I was disturbed by the girls' singing but that makes it cooler
@@ValorDucky I like think those are more dimly light stars in this constellation of a OST
For those wondering, the translated lyrics go something like this:
Revenge, prayer of revenge
Indelible Hisako, do not disappear grudge
Slaughter, massacre of tragedy
Indelible Hisako, guardian
Bloody, bloody rage of
Shouting, screaming, guardian
Indelible Hisako, the tomb of the flame
Smoke, the smoke of memory
Yes, her theme literaly is about bloody murder.
well she is a ghost of vengeance hell bent on murdering everyone who desecrated the remains of her village after it had been sacked by imperial soldiers in the past, no one touched it on the account of that until Ultratech showed up and stole shit for Rick Flare and that REALLY pissed her off.
This is very incorrect lmao
Thank you
I wouldn’t want it any other way
Fun fact: on Spotify her song has the English translations next to the Japanese
Revenge, prayer of revenge
Indelible Hisako, indelible grudge
Slaughter, massacre of tragedy
Indelible Hisako, guardian
Bloody, bloody rage
Shouting, screaming, guardian
Indelible Hisako, the tomb of flame
Smoke, the smoke of memory
😐 Holy shit. And I ought Spinal's lyrics were intimidating
+ZECTCustomUnit a part of me wants to make a joke about it, but thats beneth me
ZECTCustomUnit kden
What I love about Hisako is she is FUCKING FURIOUS over her grave being disturbed, and she is going to butcher Ultratech for what they did.
gl lol
Listening to this, I just thought of something my Japanese teacher taught me: We were practicing greeting phrases, such as "moshi moshi", when it was my turn, I just said "moshi" and my Japanese teacher gave me a joking reprimand and some backstory on the phrase: Japanese people greet each other with the phrase "moshi moshi", especially when speaking on the phone, to identify each other as human. Youkai (japanese monsters) cannot speak proper human language, beast youkai because they do not have the right mouths and tongues to properly imitate our sounds, and youkai who were formerly humans have abandoned their humanity and so devolve and begin to lose the ability to speak like humans. Especially repeating words is impossible for youkai to do, so "moshi moshi" became a kind of trust phrase with the implication "I can repeat this word, so now you know that I am human" and if someone only says "moshi" it becomes a dead giveaway that they're not human.
What about it? Well, during Hisako's theme, phrases are often repeated. ("Fukushu, fukushu", "kemuri, kemuri", "gyakusatsu, gyakusatsu", "ryuuketsu, ryuuketsu", "sakebu, sakebu".) Whether Mick did it intentionally or not, I think it would be quite significant to a Japanese person: Hisako is an onryou, but she's a rather unusual one. Instead of being an indiscriminating killer who curses everyone who gets in her way with her grudge, like a typical onryou would, she's out on a rather noble mission and only has one specific target for her grudge: Ultratech and the individuals associated with them. In other words, though she's an onryou, she hasn't abandoned her humanity and so she would probably still be able to pronounce repeating words.
(And as for me, well, I still say just "moshi" when answering the phone and my argumentative nature eventually made my Japanese teacher decide that I'm actually an Amanojaku, a youkai of contradiction who goes against the norm, takes the opposite position and argues against people for the sheer hell of it... Well, that described me perfectly, so naturally I _had_ to deny being one.)
So she's like a revenant?
Garrett Boomgaard
Depends on what you mean with "revenant"... I mean, it's not like there's only one definition of what a revenant is. The earliest revenants were basically just vampires, some later ones rose from their graves to claim revenge against the one who killed them... So yeah, what kinda revenant are you referring to?
a person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead.
Garrett Boomgaard
Then, on account of being a woman who was dead, and still is dead, but is pretty lively for a dead person, yes, I suppose she does meet your criterias for a revenant... as would most undead human beings I suppose... That said, I'd sooner identify Hisako as an onryou, though a pretty non-traditional one.
GrahamChapman Aye, Revenant means "One who has returned" and is often used meaning from the grave.
I dinnae think ghosts or zombies count as they haven't truly returned. Vampires, Mummies and the like are more accurate.
4:08 this part is especially insane. Mick you absolute madman, I love it
You can just feel the grief and sorrow merge with pure rage. It's mortifying
Bro this characters lore is dark fr fr
So for those who don't know, a Yokai, a Japanese spirit or mythological creature in some capacity is often able to imitate the human form or our mannerisms, but they tend to have problems repeating themselves, like saying the same word twice in a row.
Ever made a phone call over there and notice how they always say 'Moshi moshi'? It's to confirm if the person on the other end is a human and not someone possessed by an evil spirit or replaced by a shapeshifter.
Apply this to Hisako's theme. She's an Onryo, a vengeful spirit and clearly not human anymore, but the vocals/lyrics repeat words. Despite her state of being Hisako retains her humanity in death and combines it with her otherwordly powers to chase UltraTech around for pillaging the graves in her village which she died for to defend in the first place.
TL:Dr Hisako and her theme are top-tier in multiple ways.
I'm baffled about the low like count on this comment.. Nice info!
@@davidm8966 Same. Such an informative comment, that it should have hundreds of likes by now. Makes the song so much cooler.
That's not the actual reason why people started using moshi moshi, is just a cool urban legend. And not every yōkai has that ability, some of them are even playful, like the kappa. But foxes are tricky and some vengeful ghosts, like an onryō or an yūrei, can mimic human traits as well.
don't care
@@supersantiago cared enough to reply
Dude you've done it again, everything about it screams her character. You ARE Killer Instinct man
I *really* like this music. I like just about everything about this character.
Amazing theme and my favorite character
I can tell.
You dont say....
Guess who my favorite character is.
Hisako was the first one that I did a 100+ ultra on my favorite character Sabrewulf
What a cool, sad/creepy song, Mr Gordon!
The lyrics/chant of this kind of reminds me of Spinal's theme ,"War lord",
They are chanting for her to rise and take revenge on those who stole from their graves.
You know, for a game about tropes and parody, it really does have some dark stuff.
An ancient golem on a never ending mission to destroy a evil sorcerer in the name for a dead king, a ghost who rises to take revenge on thieves,etc.
She's the anti-Spinal, so to speak. In more ways than one.
Spinal's Power Devour eats projectiles, but he has few ways to deal with close-up pressure. Hisako's counter stance will shred through melee, but loses to projectiles.
Spinal is a Viking Skeleton God of War and Conquest. Hisako is a Japanese Spirit of Vengeance and Protection.
Spinal's so-called "gravesite" is a shipyard, while Hisako's mausoleum is an abandoned village (Sea VS Land).
.... And now that I think about it, this so-called connection could be a reference to when Kublai Khan, the descendant of Temujin AKA Genghis Khan, was trying to invade Japan (a storm drove em off, IIRC). It bears mentioning that at the time, Kublai was the effective ruler of China, considered one of Japan's fiercest rivals/biggest enemies/most influential neighbors.
AshramAstarcia What a good connection, good sir. *Clap clap clap.*
computermonster1
What's funny is that i remember watching the Hisako teaser when it first hit youtube, and everybody was claiming that Hisako was Spinal's girlfriend.
This myth? BUSTED.
AshramAstarcia
Funny you mention that they have a connection, I mean anyone else notice that in Season 1 we got an undead warrior released the near end, with Fulgore, a product of Ultra-Tech being the one to finish it off...
Now we have Season 2 with Hisako being an undead spirit who again is released near the very end of the season, with now not only one but two products of Ultra-Tech to wrap it all up.
Negative 5cott
Well he *did* die at the end of her full trailer... and since he's a rampaging warlord who most likely pillages in his spare time,and Hisako is angry at said pillaging warlords for killing her entire kin, something has to be going on between the two. My guess is he could be her rival.
You know it's good when the guy who made the doom eternal soundtrack and the guy who made bury the light are both credited
She... gets closer...
+Arthur Miejinkaku ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Andrei Tittel No... don't do that... I wasn't thinking that... Go away dirty thoughts..!
+Arthur Miejinkaku thanks... i now feel somewhat unsettled
I'm sorry... it's just that she gets closer... but she never loses sight of you... she just stares... like she does want to devour you...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
anyone notice Hisako getting closer and closer to the screen? its not just me right? guys? GU....
+Sarutobiization RIP
+Sarutobiization like i wanna kiss her anyways its fine for me :D
Probably just a reflection on her INSANELY, UNBELIEVABLY, INCREDIBLY slow walk speed. I know. I main her.
Kakyoin Noriaki Nah she come can come as close as she wants me and my boy TJ Combo love to get up close and personal.
Yeah sure, just make sure you don't get too button happy or she'll wakeup counter you to death, and then command grab you because you're not pressing buttons anymore
The part that starts at 4:08 is just amazing. I love that over choir.
If this song sent chills down my spine during the trailer, hearing the full version with the ghostly lyrics has turned my entire vertebrae into a ice pop.
Smashing song Mick.
Indeed
Agreed!
Years late but that la la la singing near the late middle is actual the main Killer instinct theme but in a creepy childish tone, pretty cool.
Sheet ur right!
Yeah, they put it into every character track
Great catch
@@Майрук yeah it's cool that the lemotif made it into every song
WHAT? ok that is blowing my mind
The cadence of the lyrics reminds me of a folk song. The lyrics themselves remind me of a summoning prayer. This is a neat theme. I also like the idea of an onryou who's actually well liked/worshipped by the people she haunts.
Lore wise, six years late I know. She protects the village.
from the description mick left this is what google translator says
Revenge, prayer of revenge
Indelible Hisako, indelible grudge
Slaughter, massacre of tragedy
Indelible Hisako, guardian
Bloody, bloody rage
Cry, cry, guardian
Indelible Hisako, tomb of flame
Smoke, the smoke of memory
smoke weed every day

Now that's some heavy metal shit right there.
4/20 Cinder confirmed
Sutairu Masuta of course it would be on 4/20 lol we gonna light one up and see a dude ablaze ;)
Brutal
My favourite character. I've always had a strange fascination with ghosts and the undead, and I'm a big fan of horror movies like The Ring, so I decided I was going to main Hisako the instant I saw her. Really cool that she's a good guy as well. She's an unstoppable spirit of death that will follow you to the ends of the earth to cut your head off and eat your soul, but only if you're evil or you piss her off. Otherwise she's chill. Her theme is great too, really captures the J-horror vibe with the harsh strings, spooky chanting, discordant melody and the faint gurgle at the end, but also gets you ready for a fight. Really makes you feel like you're going to fuck someone up with your super ghost powers and then drag their spirit to hell.
I swear, everytime there's an Onryo in any game they always have a kickass theme, awesome to play as AND against and their creepiness is fucking brilliant; being a literal walking consequence of other people's shitty actions.
J-Horror is just the best Horror.
I can't really think of many other examples of video game Onryo. Could you list a few?
@@Daniel_Lancelin
For example, Zappa in Guilty Gear. He's not technically an onryou, but pretty much almost all of his moveset is based around summoning them.
Also, I can think of Noroko, from the MUGEN game The Black Heart, and Ella from another MUGEN one, or, if you want playable cases aside of fighting games, Yamaoka Rin AKA The Spirit in Dead By Daylight, Oichi in Sengoku Basara 3 (though she's not an onryou, she's designed to exactly function like one)... Most other cases include them as enemies.
They're scary as hell. Western equivalent would be a poltergeist, I suppose. A former human that should be as dead as his/her body, but is so full of hate and anger it refuses to go. Imagine living on so much rage that you didn't need food, water, or oxygen to keep going, forever. That's her.
@@d112cons sounds like the Doom Slayer but a ghost
*joke*
@@dakudayou3513 what i really like about zappa is that only the main spirit is actually aggressive. The others just want to protect him
Brilliant theme. Got to aplaud the ki team for character naming though. Just looked up what hisako means in japanese and it mean "long lived child". Fits suprisingly well despite the irony thay she is dead.

Mick Gordon is a musical genius
Hisako is surprisingly gothic & colorful for a anime-style Japanese Ghost-girl!
Nuclear-Skull87 Considering the time-period and the fact that anime didn't come around until at least the 1960s, Hisako is more than likely from Feudal Japan.
Oh, absolutely!
@@DetectiveNyx. Anime actually came around decades earlier than the 60's, more specifically around the early years of World War I. Back then, though, it was mainly used for propaganda purposes for the Japanese military. Your point remains, though.
Had to come back to this masterpiece, BRING BACK KILLER INSTINCT!
Mick I gotta say your soundtrack is awesome beyond words. Even my 2-year-old has been going around the house humming Spinal's theme for the past year. I can't hardly even get on youtube with him in the room without him begging "Aganos, Daddy, play Aganos!! Play Omen song Daddy, Omen song!!"
I love this song! So somber, creepy and terrifying. Great job, Mick, Erika, Casey and Ali. Also the picture of Hisako keeps getting closer, anyone else noticed that?
Now I do
Meeeeeeeeeeep
Hisako is the greatest vengeful spirit as she has honor and only desired to kill and torment those who killer her and her family and burned her village to the ground. She does not involve innocents and instead only attacks the strong and powerful and guilty. With insane levels of spiritual power I might add. She'd destroy nasty evil Kayako and Sadako for sure.
Because she was a true samurai daughter, even after death. Kayako and Sadako (And Samara etc.) were created from the petty evil of modern day (Not that petty evil did not exist back then as well but you get my point)
The idle theme reminds me of freaky fred from courage the cowardly dog
OMG it does! Nostalgia overload!
It makes me feel... NAUUUGHTYYYYYYYY
"Hello, my name is Fred.
The words you hear, are in my head,
and I noticed this little girl with a spear,
only to see her stabbing me in the rear...
And I found it, Naughhhtyy....."
BLOK- -HEAD give this man a metal
Oh no pls no Freaky Fred is so creepy 😨.
One of my favorite songs by Mick, I love his Doom work, but I love hearing a rock horror theme, it is such a unique mix that you don't get often. And when it is done it normally isn't this well balanced, normally it is either more horror or more rock but Mick struck the nail perfectly on this one. Hope to play this game one day so I can main her lol.
I just realised that this version and the album version (I assume) are different, not only the vocals are more clear and loud in the album version, also in the "la la la la" part in the album you can hear Hisako crying
3:32 I thought she was laughing.
You're goddamn right.

So freaking addictive! I've been blasting this through my speakers on a daily basis.

日本のホラー曲とメタルを自然に融合した、素晴らし楽曲です！！
Her idle theme is one of the best. You perfectly captured this character's former innocence which got twisted by tragedy and hatred while also incorporating KI's atmosphere. I can't wait until you put up Sadira, Maya and TJ's themes hopefully in that order.
This is my new favorite Birthday Massacre song.
People always talk about Doom, but Killer Instinct was some of Mick's best work IMO.
and right now after that bullshit which happened in id software they are flaming him and spamming how bad composer he suddenly is :/
Prey, Wolfenstein, and if I recall Boarderlands are also Mic Gordon.
His work for Doom is freaking amazing but Killer Instinct captures what the characters like in a way. Killer Instinct is definitely his best work with Doom coming in very closely after.
Also, Bring Me the Horizon's "Parasite Eve"
Mick brilliant composer. I love the fatness to your sound. I hope we can work together one day. This is one bad ass track
JGS Music Thanks man! Totally!
+Hector Al As far as i know he's not making covers, at least on this cannel, plus i doubt that he knows this song, and, imho, the song you requested isn't as good as Mick Gordon's music, didn't mean to be rude.
+Abc Defg If you didn't know Mick is actually the composer of ALL these new KI themes
What do you mean "fatness"? .-.
Too bad that you were replaced by Atlas and Celldweller, these... "guys"... not even close to your mastery, who are too lazy to make some real effort in making real, memorable and majestic music like you, our lord, and just put their disgusting dubstep everywhere. All new themes were ruined, they are 2, but they are nothing, compared to you!
Can't wait until people start cosplaying as her.

I actually prefer Mick over the new guys over at KI. just my personal preference
You're not alone, though atlas and cell are not bad at all. Their Eyedol theme is fucking amazing.
I just think their songs are very hit or miss. You either really like a theme or dislike it.
BraveHeartedHero1 Absolutely agreed.
I haven't really played since season 3 came out. Didn't realize they replaced Mick. This is very disappointing.

Mick Gordon that shit better be on the ost mickey boy
Mick, I can't afford an Xbox One, and it kills me since I played the original games to death, but I made sure I bought the first season's soundtrack on iTunes. Like the original games, the soundtrack is awesome, and wanted to let you know I think you rock. Keep it up man. Kudos to Robin Beanland too.
Seriously, save like mad and get an Xbox One! It's worth it for KI alone!
True that the only reason i even have an Xbox One is for killer instinct
Silverism Your picture is hilarious XD
Silverism Ehhh a single game does not make a console worthy IMO. Sunset Overdrive looks fun though.
I share your sentiments bro. One game isn't enough to warrant an entire console purchase for me, but hoo boy am I enjoying appreciating KI from a distance. My only hope is that it may come to PC, and if it doesn't, I'm content watching videos and listening to awesome tracks like this.
By the way, stellar job as usual Mr. Gordon.
Putting this on repeat anytime I use The Spirit in Dead By Daylight now
On god though.
1st listen: the lalas are creepy..ill just skip it...
4th listen : " LA LA LALA LA LAAAA"
@Ahrun I don't find them creepy... it's like nostalgic and kind of beautiful...
3:08 that part makes me sad for some reason :(
i know right
Can never escape the "LA LAs"
It’s also the KI theme
I don't know what is more terrifying about her, her theme, her personality, or her walking speed
You did it. You turned the killer instinct theme into a Japanese rock ballad-friggin-lullaby.
"Keinai Hisako!"Yet again, Mr. Gordon. My ears are slave to your compositions. Great work. Cant wait to hear what you do for Cinder!
Thank you so much for all the great music, Mick. This one's my favorite. The most bad ass fighting game track I've ever heard. Props forever and ever. Amen. I mean, EXTREEEEEEME VICTORY!
+Grubbo If awesome soundtracks are your thing, I would recommend taking a listen to the OSTs of Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. Both are done by the same guy (Daisuke Ishiwatari), and are some of the best there is. But from this side of the globe, Mick's work is pretty much as good as it gets.
I love it every time when Mick does a "character version" of the KI theme.
She lullabies the ki theme. That's very clever, as people used to play soothing music before a battle to calm nerves.
4:05-These haunting vocals will never get old!!!!!

A wakeup is a move you can do when getting up from prone, such as a Shoryuken. See his SFA3 boss rage where he's getting beaten by Sagat to see the concept in action.
Just imagine Hisako headbanging to this theme.
Also, Mick Gordon, your creations ever since making soundtracks for KI has been so sick, I just can't,..can't you perhaps upload Maya's theme?
Yeah headbanging against the door to the room you are hiding in
I can't figure out where to actually purchase this song anywhere, so this seemed only right.

Kienai Hisako, hogosha (Indelible Hisako, guardian)
Ryūketsu, ryūketsu no gekido (Bloody, bloody rage)
Sakebu, sakebu, hogosha (Cry, cry, guardian)
Ryūketsu, ryūketsu no gekido (Bloody, bloody rage)
Kienai Hisako, kienai urami (Indelible Hisako, indelible grudge)
Kienai Hisako (Indelible Hisako)
Kienai Hisako, kienai urami (Indelible Hisako, indelible grudge)
Gyakusatsu, gyakusatsu no higeki (Slaughter, massacre of tragedy)
Kienai Hisako, hogosha (Indelible Hisako, guardian)
Fukushū, fukushū no inori (Revenge, prayer of revenge)
Kienai Hisako, honoo-en no haka (Indelible Hisako, tomb of flame)
Kienai Hisako, kienai urami (Indelible Hisako, indelible grudge)
Kemuri, kemuri no kioku (Smoke, the smoke of memory)
La la la...
Kienai Hisako, honoo-en no haka (Indelible Hisako, tomb of flame)
Fukushū, fukushū no inori (Revenge, prayer of revenge)
Kemuri, kemuri no kioku (Smoke, the smoke of memory)
Kienai Hisako, kienai urami (Indelible Hisako, indelible grudge)
Fukushū, fukushū no inori (Revenge, prayer of revenge)
Kienai Hisako, honoo-en no haka (Indelible Hisako, tomb of flame)
Kienai Hisako, kienai urami (Indelible Hisako, indelible grudge)
Kemuri, kemuri no kioku (Smoke, the smoke of memory)
Sounded like my favorite Japan metal band, Dir En Grey. But that's good.
And the female voice is freaking awesome!
Only way this could sound like Dir En Grey to someone would be if DEG were their only frame of reference for Japanese rock music.
Mick Gordon is a legend for BGMS!!!
When I heard "Polemos" I thought it will be the best KI theme, but damn THIS IS AWESOME!
adolfokid22 tj, aganos, and this are by far the best imo
Still fires me up! What a awesome headbanger!

*消えないひさ子 literally "Not disappearing Hisako" as though it's a title. I used "Unending" as it works better with the repetition of words which is important to Japanese folklore.
**流血、流血の激怒 translates to "Bloodshed, Rage of Bloodshed" but "Raging Bloodshed" works better in English while still fitting the character's lore
When the goth kid gets to be in the school performance
If I distrub Hisako's grave, will she haunt me? I really would like a friend.
That profile picture is true definition of Depression..
Just make sure you can deal with their playful side.
Yep and maybe she could try to get you so dont do that i would never do that if i find his grave ill just leave the zone remember what she says when playing as her or against her in killer instict at the begginning of a battle
Hands down, the best character in the game.
God Bless Mick Gordon!
Revenge , prayer of revenge
Indelible Hisako , indelible grudge
Slaughter , massacre of tragedy
Indelible Hisako , guardian
Bloody , bloody rage
Cry , cry , guardian Indelible Hisako , tomb of flame
Smoke , the smoke of memory...
This part of the song always give me chills 3:08 , that's one reason why I love using her as my main.
04:07 holy shit i got goosebumbs after cradle song cause its sounds so epic and at same time i can feel the adrenaline why Hisako so hatred.
One of my favorite Fighting game / game ost ever.
I love it how they create this song impression to Hisako.
This theme is SO badass holy shit
can't stop listening to this.
The part when the song amps up at around 4:05 is the most amazing music i've heard in any video game.
Really freaking creepy...but in an awesome way!
This is really awesome
Almost better than Aggy's theme...ALMOST.
Had to throw in that keyword.
You know I did.
But of course.
Japanese legends+fighting game+techno horror music=amazing character
Coolest ghost with coolest theme song
2:07 goes so hard
How didn't I discovered this masterpiece before????
01:21 I love this part most of time I'm singing this
Never played the game, this just makes me happy to listen to. I feel that going out of your way to have fun just for the sake of it is what it boils down to on my end, it shows in the finished piece! It might seem obvious but these days that feels like a lost skill. At any rate, this is a treat!
God Damn is this a good theme. Mick has been killing it lately. Someone needs to buy this man a beer.
No, He must remain sober throughout the duration of KI lol.
I really can't wait for the full official Season 2 OST. The extra little touches you put on these official mixes are great.
Hiasko is Best waifu
I have to admit, the woman crying during the segment with the singing children was an interesting touch. It was really unexpected but really made it sink in that these children are probably demonic and are torturing some lady while singing creepy lullabies. I mean, if it wasn't already creepy enough. Great job Mick Gordon! I recently bought Doom and Killer instinct and realized that both soundtracks just happened to be composed by you! It was completely unintentional, but I'm glad I did.
KI has the best characters
Best theme so far...
