One day Kanami will write a song that is missing something, and she will say I need a cello right here, and this would be the perfect person to play the part.🎻
とても深く美しい音に驚きました。 彩姫と歌波の美しくも、どこかに暗い影を秘めたオリジナルの演奏(物語的、写実的アプローチ)とは全く異なる純音楽的なアプローチが新鮮で魅力的です。 原曲のアコーステックギター版は悲恋とそれに打ちのめされつつも力強く生きてゆく女性の熱く激しい物語を連想させる演奏ですが、Alexejさんの演奏はオリジナルとは異なる、純音楽的なアプローチが素晴らしく魅力的です。 この曲が持つ単旋律の美しさ、そして和音の組合わせの素晴らしさがチェロ演奏では良く伝わって来きます。そしてチェロという楽器の魅力も良く分かります。 素晴らしい演奏をありがとう。😊 I was surprised by the very deep and beautiful sound. The pure musical approach is fresh and attractive, completely different from the original performance (narrative and realistic approach) of SAIKI and KANAMI, which is beautiful but has a dark shadow somewhere in it. The acoustic guitar version of the original song evokes a passionate and intense story of a tragic love and a woman's powerful life despite being devastated by it, while Alexej's performance differs from the original in its pure musical approach, which is wonderfully appealing. The beauty of the monophonic melody and the wonderful combination of chords in the cello performance is well conveyed. And the charm of the cello instrument is also well understood. Thank you for a wonderful performance.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! As always, your comment is very interesting to read, because it is written very competently, understandable to everyone and it contains a detailed analysis of the cover🙏
ありがとうございました！ 素晴らしい音。 残念ながら、これはまだ実現可能ではありませんが、誰が将来何が起こるかを知っています。 しかし、本当のことは、すぐに私はお久慈でそれらを見るということです。 Sorry for mistakes, I used online-translator. Best regards 🙏
Well that was particularly beautiful. Thx for another wonderful B-M cover, Alexej, & get well soon YellowClip, don't try to blame me for being more well than you....again.😁👍
One of my favourite Band-Maid songs and you have absolutely nailed it ! Beautiful, sober, intimite, full of melancholy and emotion. Can't wait for the next one !
@@frankandre4385 Barber's Adagio is such a masterpiece. Glad I had opportunity to perform it several times. Puzzle is great too, especially acoustic version. And I was lucky to watch Band-Maid playing the song live in Tokyo Garden Theater. That was unexpected and so nice👍👍👍
Thank you! Right, cause it was recorded on a smartphone. I'm doing covers for fun and use only my Oppo Reno 2 and Acapella app. Kanami... She is incredibly great ☝️
@@alexejbagrintsev I would really love a good recording of this stuff. The brothers from 2Cellos do some amazing stuff, and Kanami's material would be perfect for bringing out more from her work.
@@jtdg5849 You are right, but 2Cellos had producers, promoters etc. They had fun, but played not only for that. Agree about Kanami's music. Maybe in the future I will buy some equipment. Currently I will use smartphone, but record video and audio separately, using special app for sound recording (what I did for the last cover). It worked pretty well.
@@alexejbagrintsev You recorded this on smartphone? Impressive, and I am an audio engineer. I learned long ago the performance is more important than the audio quality.
@@dannelson6980 Thank you. Yes, and not separately, just a video recording. But for the last cover I recorded audio and video separately. Agree, performance is more important, but audio quality does matter too.
Instant reaction: you've topped Warning! with this one. I love the mood you create, taking the song to a different place from any of the Band-Maid versions.
Hats off and thank you! The cello fits with its sound very well to the melancholic heavy mood of the original (maybe even a bit better to the acoustic version) and its lyrics. _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
Thank you!🙏 Cello is often used for the lyric and tragic themes because of its sound, which reminds human voice more, than other string instrument. _______________________________________________ They are totally right! And classical music too☝️
Amazing. Great job. I am happy that you did it closer to the acoustic version. I love both versions but that acoustic version of Puzzle is something really special. You did the song justice. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you liked. I originally wanted to make the version closer to the acoustic one, which I like more because of the tempo, which allows me to better reveal the meaning of the song and the transparent texture.
What a fantastic performance *Alexej* have you ever been to a *BAND-MAID* show? If *BAND-MAID* tours Europe and you get the fortune to see a *BAND-MAID* *Miku* will point you out and say Its *Alexej the Cello Guy* 😀
Thank you! Unfortunately no, but gonna see them in Tokyo. Oh, that would be great 😀 They have to come to Europe. If not, I will bring them after the TGT Okyuji.
@@alexejbagrintsev Well that really cool your going to see them in Tokyo that should be a lot of fun I was suppose to see them at Budokan 2/11/21 but covid put the breaks on that. I'm sure *Miku* would recognize you 😁
@@BM4-Life This virus has destroyed so many plans and completely changed our lives. Sorry to hear you were going to the Okyuji that has been cancelled. And can't imagine how disappointed were our lovely ladies... There will be so many spectators and everyone in masks. Unless I'm recognized by my shiny hairstyle 😁 Seriously, there's a small chance that some of them have seen the covers, because I always tag them on Twitter, Instagram (Happy Birthday video) and some videos have 3k -4k views. But there are more chances to be recognized in Europe, where they will perform in smaller halls and the audience will be without masks.
@@alexejbagrintsev Yep the venus in Japan can get rather large but *Mr. Rock N Roll* (reactor) was spotted my *Miku* in Dallas and *Michelle* (Guitar Covers) *Kanami* tapped her on the head in New Jersey so that tells you they watch UA-cam videos _(So you say there is a chance)_ 😀
@@BM4-Life There will be around 7000 people🤔 Mr. Rock And Roll was one of the first reactors to introduce Band-Maid to many people and to increase their fanbase, no doubt he deserved it, and his channel is quite huge (106k subscribers) . Michelle also has much more subscribers than me (10k+ vs 400+) . But let's hope they still watch covers🙏
Stunningly beautiful. Very tasteful and emotional interpretation and great playing … and beside that it shows what a wonderful composer Kanami is. Thank you for this 🙏
first... awesome cover, second... dont need to be a "more fun song", just because you made this cover for TYC its amazing to understand what a great community we are, we all want him to recover soon.
All the support and best to TheYellowClip. This rendition of a wonderful song matches the emotion of the acoustic version that Saiki did with just Kanami as accompaniment. Tugs at the heart and puts over the feeling of guilt and loss so well. A truly great song and moving instrumental version.
You Sir need to be hired by the band to accompany them on their tours with 3 other string players to round out a proper quartet, plus a horn section as well.
Wonderful playing on this sombre tune and yet there still is a ray of hope and optimism in the song. Best wishes and quick recovery to theyellowclip...thanks Peace and Respect from 🇨🇦
Thank you! Yes, would be nice. Unfortunately there is only one violin player who covers BM songs and she is very busy now. But you will see many collaborations these year - at least 3-4.
One day Kanami will write a song that is missing something, and she will say I need a cello right here, and this would be the perfect person to play the part.🎻
That would be great 😃 Thanks.

@@alexejbagrintsev Thank you very much, I have reacted to Puzzle today you did a awesome job of it 👍
@@OldMrB Thank you very much, dear Mr. B , I appreciate it 🙏
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Sure seems like all of Kanami"s compositions would be suitable for transposing.
Totally agree. Kanami's music has classical roots and therefore suitable for transposing.
Очаровательно. Прекрасно до слёз 😭💖
Спасибо! На то был расчёт ☝️ И нужно было разбавить подвижные композиции спокойной.
いつも最高の演奏
落ち着く
ありがとう！
Another fantastic cover! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
So beautiful! Thank you! I could feel the yearning and pain this song evokes even without Saiki's vocals. Bravo!
Thank you! Glad you liked this cover.

Thank you!🙏 I will start working in a week. Don't know how much time will it take, but can promise you will watch a new cover this month.
As usual, that was stunningly beautiful! Also, best wishes for a speedy recovery to the top Brazilian maidiac - TheYellowClip.
Thank you!
And special thanks for the wishes 🙏
This is fantastic stuff. I can really feel the emotion here, Puzzle has always given me melancholy feelings and you've brought them out perfectly!
Thank you!
The emotion brought by this reminded me of the first time I heard Barber's Adagio For Strings... Touches the soul !

Great job on this. I imagine Kanami especially would love seeing covers like this, since she occasionally does piano arrangements for their songs.
Thank you!
Hope she will be able to watch it 🙏

But with her on the piano.
Great cover BTW!
