A rare gem lost within the stone that architects the world... Not the mainstream that breaks it. This game is an art. A beautiful fluidity that hasn't been tainted with the debauched hands of the trending media. I really do honour and respect this title.
this song encompases every feeling I have for Shenmue. the slow, almost mellow beginning, when you start exploring Dobuita and the rest of the world and meet all those silly talking town people for the first time, the epic intersections are all those tense moments when you fight the baddies to advance the story line. and the last part where your guts immediately tell you something special to your heart is coming to an end. that's the entire Shenmue 2 for me from the moment when you left Japan. I remember playing Shenmue 2 having this strange feeling in the back of my head this game will leave me begging for more. I so didn't want to finish it because of that. I even purposely delayed playing last chapter just so the experience would last longer. this is hands down the best song from both games IMHO. such a shame it all ended so prematurely =''( then again, hope always dies last, so maybe someday in our lifetime ='}
Namfrey Fullson The irony in this post is everywhere. Just a mere week ago, someone just browsing the web, listening to music, hoping that Shenmue 3 would one day grace them.... and yet, here we are, a mere week later, after 14 years of waiting, and Shenmue 3 will now be a reality.
Just after 1:10 is what really hits me. It sounds so sad but hopeful, like a great loss has happened but things might still look up. I don't know if I am just applying it to the Shenmue III feeling or if it is generally fitting to that.
Finally, I found this masterpiece after almost 20 years of search! Now my life seems like it's complete... I have no words to describe the beauty of this. Just, listen and let yourself be transported. In addition to that, the erhu you hear (which binds soooo well with the orchestra btw) is played by Jia Peng Fang, one of the most famous chinese erhu players! Here's a small compilation of some of his works: ua-cam.com/video/bdXOk1SHKWs/v-deo.html It makes it even more a masterpiece in all terms.
@DKRCecer Exactly i got the exact feeling from the meldoy , like everything is looking dark but its not over yet type of feeling... Classical music is the most beautiful music of any genre , its the music of this existence.. Why these musicians dont get recognized for this beautiful compositions while garbage like todays musicians do, is WAYYYY beyond me. Its sad.
+Jeffery Salazar This is a very VERY late reply (5 years!) Yes, it certainly is in the game. I can't remember exactly where though. Maybe in 5 years someone else can answer that?
Hans zimmer obviously inspired by this i say, shares a resembalence to the last samurai soundtrack, which is my favourite soundtrack of all time. Shenmue comes close second.
Shenmue 1 and 2 are getting re-released aparently as downloadable titles..Xbox exsclusive or so i hear..i hope its true because (not the exsclusive part) because it can only help shenmue 3s chances
Would you listen to this majestic piece of music. What a thing…Truly awe inspiring and beautiful.
the finest soundtrack ever produced. bar none
After binging 200 anime soundtracks, I can say that this is up there... way up there
This is honestly the best piece of music I've ever heard in a video game, bar none!
The best one, the mix of Chinese and Japanese instrumentals here is astounding.
After 10+ years, it's still one of the most powerful soundtracks in my mind.
15 years now, a perfect gem.

I'm sure you'd be happy to see Shenmue III and the Shenmue anime existing in the current day :')
@@arkamukherjee457 Shenmue anime, I agree... Shenmue III... not so much...
@@IllikasRager no bro, Shenmue III is not better than the 2 other master piece,but Shenmue III is good
@@takaguisuna6735 fair enough.
@@IllikasRager YEAH agree
maybe the best song in all of shenmue. which means one of the best songs ever made
Masterpiece... nothing else.

Namfrey Fullson , I hope that in a few years you will make another similar post just a week before Shenmue 4! ;)
Almost here
after 12 years..... this is truely..... masterpiece....
22 years still a masterpiece check.
The best song from Shenmue .
Just after 1:10 is what really hits me. It sounds so sad but hopeful, like a great loss has happened but things might still look up.
I don't know if I am just applying it to the Shenmue III feeling or if it is generally fitting to that.
I love the gentle plucking of strings in this song

Meu game preferido ate hj e depois yakusa!
Does anyone know if this is uses in the games at all? I don't remember it.
+Jeffery Salazar This is a very VERY late reply (5 years!)
Yes, it certainly is in the game. I can't remember exactly where though. Maybe in 5 years someone else can answer that?
It's in Shenmue II when Ryo wakes up in Wong's boat.
ua-cam.com/video/w_0h5UPvsCY/v-deo.html
Also it plays when Ryo watches the eagle fly through the ravine in S2.
Is it possible to kickstart it and to give the money to Sega?
Lewis yes actually lol crazy what can happen in the span of 4 years :)
Shenmue lives. Shenmue 3 is out as of 4 days ago!!!!
Hans zimmer obviously inspired by this i say, shares a resembalence to the last samurai soundtrack, which is my favourite soundtrack of all time. Shenmue comes close second.
Last Samurai came out in 2003. This track was released in 1999.

Shenmue 1 and 2 are getting re-released aparently as downloadable titles..Xbox exsclusive or so i hear..i hope its true because (not the exsclusive part) because it can only help shenmue 3s chances
MrPcFTW you are a prophet. :P
