After yesterday's announcement of an official (actual) sequel, I had to come here and listen to one of the top 3 best themes in the og game! I love how even more epic the second part sounds omg
@@cristobalappelgren3160 You gotta play it. Especially if you like Zelda games. For some perspective, the Zelda series is my favorite video game series of all time. But Okami is my favorite game of all-time, topping the entire Zelda series.
Love this song so much, especially the second half where the war drums kick in. It really gets the blood pumping and all the other layers that come in then make it feel so rich on top of something that was already amazing. I love the mix of the traditional Japanese instruments and the orchestral elements. The whole soundtrack is beautiful.
This is one of those games I never get tired of playing. No matter how many years go by, I will never forget what an amazing experience playing this game is. Every time I start from the beginning I have that feeling that I'm about to be transported into a world of gorgeous color and beautiful music... this game is a masterpiece.
Man oh man, i might not remember everything that happens in the game but the music certainly resonated with me. same goes for disney movies; you forget the plot and everything then suddenly you are singing the words to a song you havent heard in 10 years XD
i wish i could erase everything i knew about okami and experience it for the first time again. i don’t think there will ever be another game like it at all. that’s both a good thing and a bad thing, good because this game is an experience like no other...and bad because every time i beat it, it makes the game ending even more painful. i dread coming to the end of the game because, i don’t want to leave the world of the game. okami came to me at a very difficult time in my life, right when i needed a game like it. i’ve replayed it countless times, it’s like comfort food for me. and every time i replay it, it means a little bit more to me.
Have you ever played or heard of Xenoblade Chronicles, I personally love Okami, and then my brother got me to play Xenoblade, and I loved it, the storyline, the character development, it was beautiful.
@@Trix_are_for_kids i’ve been thinking about picking up xenoblade 2!! it looks absolutely beautiful. i’m a big fan of the ni no kuni series and it really reminds me of those games
I found listening to the music during travel is a very awesome experience. Nothing like driving though Salt lake city when it's snowing hard and the Kamui theme playing.
eXe654 I picture myself on horseback running through the coast. The sounds of the taiko drums are the horse hoofbeats hitting the sand as we race the sandy shores. I can smell the salty sea air and running free like the wind. I can almost picture the joyful cries of falcons/sea kites riding along the sky currents. The beginnings of a journey with promising adventure ☺️ The Feels!
I never eally payed too much attention to music in games. That is, until Okami. This game made me realize how awesome some game music is, and how much it contributes to the entire experience. Thank you Okami, you are a timeless gem in the world of games
I played this game the first time when I was 10.I can remember that too well, because I was just so surprised because it always happen something you don´t expect.And now after 4 years it is still my favorite game, and I always have to cry at the end even if I played it so much times now
The first time I played this game on the Wii, I legitimately had no idea that not only does Orochi isn't even CLOSE to being the final boss, but that I had an entirely new zone to explore! If I already liked Okami after Orochi, running in Ryoshima Coast at full speed to the beat of those drums was the moment I fell in love with this game, I still get chills when the drums kick in.
I feel like all of Okami's songs are designed to make you feel sadness, happiness, and power mixed all together. After finishing the game I feel so nostalgic listening to them again
Omg, I wish I had the soundtrack. The music in this game inspired me to draw so many beautiful things...It's like there's some sort of hidden magic in the music notes. =3 Okami was the best game I have ever played in my gaming experience
duuuuude I remember running through ryoshima plains for the first time in the game and damn it felt epic with this music in the background. this is the best video game you've ever played, hands down.
Running wild at full speed through the Ryoshima plains/coast with the second half of this song following your steps gotta be the best feeling ever in a videogame.
The soundtrack of Okami has something for everyone, it's absolute beauty and manages to capture every emotion possible, whether it be sadness or a feeling of triumph. The songs are perfect for the various settings of the game and no theme in it will disappoint, if you haven't experienced this masterpiece yet, do yourself a favor and get it. if you hate it for graphics, try it anyway, you won't regret it.
You're right, this has to be out of all of the songs (and there are a lot of fantastic ones, too) this is the best song. (Well, to me!) It gets even better when the drums and everything is added in! I love just to run around, run on the water and jump off of everything when I go to Ryoshima Coast! A very powerful song indeed! I love Okami!
I cried after I finished all the extras in Ryoshima and N. Ryoshima, because I was going to say goodbye forever after getting the 100th stray bead from Kamui and was going all over the countryside just to bid farewell to all the places. The music playing while running around and spamming the bark button as a farewell... Too powerful.
the best open world game that ever made in the entire gaming history, with beautiful art style, epic sound track. this game will always be a part of my childhood
I'm here from Chuggaaconroy's LP, and my god, what a masterpiece this game is, and that's from someone who's (unfortunately) never had the chance to play it. The graphics, the story, the music, the characters... Everything is a work of art in this game (no pun intended).
To me, this song speaks to me of just running free. I remember I quit my last crappy job and as I was walking down the hall, this song popped into my head. I just felt so relieved, that I was finally freeeeeeeeee!
@HorseLuver098 same here man. geez i was just watching a videogame video-chart when all of a sudden okami's music kicked in, i didn't expect that and i started crying. okami is truly the most artful and emotionally moving videogame in the world.
I have to say, if I had to pick a game that was more a work of art than any other, I would pick this game. It just... for one, the art style. The story, as well. The music... the music! I mean... it's just great. All of it. And I'm finally going to get to play it soon :D
If it wasn't for Chuggaaconroy's LP of this game I would still be out of such a wonderful game. And, thanks, to putting Ryoshima 1& 2 tracks together in one piece, it is one of my favorite pieces from the game (aside from Red Helmet Extermination and Old Man Orange's Flower Dance). In fact, this particular piece (technically pieces since it is 2 tracks in 1) is inspiring me with a couple of characters for Exalted.
Capcom added the credits to the Japanese version of Okami (Wii), which came out after the NA version. Chances are we will see the people who worked on this appropriately recognized in the PS3 version. Clover won't get the money, but there isn't much of a way to do that since Clover has disbanded.
@Nagao21 You've said it. Okami is not just a video game, it's art. I remember playing this game every single day in some summer holiday, man that was a very very good time in my life. Listening to this, many memories are rushing back, I think I will play this again in the very very near future.
Plenty of devs from Clover went on to form Seeds, which eventually evolved into Platinum Games, and produced more awesome games like Vanquish, Bayonetta and Infinite Space. It's great to know that the spirit that went into making Okami lives on in some form.
sure man you spoke the right word, this is playin' art in all its splendor, one in a liefetime, you know what? there shouldn't be a sequel , because when the games become series they ussually lose all originality and i don't want that to happen to this jewel, this is a mark for what it means to be playing art, something that most games lack nowadays
I liked to listen to this and just keep running around the area and jumping, doing nothing important, just to enjoy the music and views. What a masterpiece.
I bought the HD version on steam and the only complain I have about the game is that the music could be a lot louder! It's not fair if I don't get to blast this masterpiece and many other songs in the game.
I have no idea why, but I only recently took up a love for this song. I never really paid any attention to it, despite all the time I'd spent running around the area. Funny how the epic-ness of a song can just suddenly hit you, isn't it?
@nin10do11556 North and South Ryoshima Plains are in Okamiden around the time you get your 3rd and 4th partners, respectively. Each has a different theme, with South's being the closest to the original Okami version.
Me quede 5 dias sin internet y me puse a jugar okami. Nunca lo termine el juego lo abandone porque me habia perdido en alguna parte. Lo volvi a jugar y me dio muchisima nostalgia y alegria volver a jugarlo :3 Un juegazo.... esta vez voy decidido a terminarlo de una vez por todas.
The /really/ beautiful games is the ones that can evoke all emotions in you, happiness, laughter, sadness, fear and actually more. Good examples could be this and the Mother-series among others
Just be thankful there's any new version. The DS version could be a stepping stone to a new console version. However, I don't see how they'd ever top the original.
thats because the wii controls complicated the game mechanics, and they also took out the ending credits, which is a definite MINUS (probably didn't effect the score but still). Being a 'hidden' game should make us feel proud that we have had the chance to play it.
In japan there was an exclusive plush released though very limited. Also, someone on Deviantart makes them herself. I got one from her too and they look awesome ^^
Love the entire soundtrack, and this one is definitely one of the best (actually made me buy the game). The Ryoshima Plains version from the Tokyo Game Show 2005 promotion is really beautiful too, can't stop listening to it. Too bad it's so short. =)

My baby will be back 😢😢😢😢
After yesterday's announcement of an official (actual) sequel, I had to come here and listen to one of the top 3 best themes in the og game! I love how even more epic the second part sounds omg
Same here, one of the best songs in the game. Can’t wait for the sequel.
Is it actually happening? I've seen people mention it before but is it actually happening?
@@pikaland3852 yes. Announced at The Game Awards.
@@IERServer cool
Who is still listening to this theme up to this day? 🙋♀️
i have never played but i love game soundtrack, its awesome
@@cristobalappelgren3160 You gotta play it. Especially if you like Zelda games. For some perspective, the Zelda series is my favorite video game series of all time. But Okami is my favorite game of all-time, topping the entire Zelda series.
Still listening to this masterpiece 😄
@@cristobalappelgren3160SAME LMFAO I found this song by pure random chance but I fuckin love it
@@kaifreyleue5961is the game really that good? People keep hyping it up and it makes me wanna buy it😂
Okami is without a doubt one of the top 10 video games ever made.
no arguments here
I myself put it in the top 1 game.
Nicholas Smith Nah, there are still a few areas where it falls short.
Still, I'd KILL to see a PS4 or Wii U/NX remaster.
Perhaps, but I'm sure you could find that in any game. Okami's strengths just put it over the top for me.
Regardless, a remaster would be awesome.
it would be so beautiful on PS4/Wii U...I know, Let's start a kickstarter!! kappa
Yep, Okami's soundtrack still gives me goose bumps even to this day.
Water Tablet + Running at full speed + 2:53 = One of the best damn moments in games.
Love this song so much, especially the second half where the war drums kick in. It really gets the blood pumping and all the other layers that come in then make it feel so rich on top of something that was already amazing. I love the mix of the traditional Japanese instruments and the orchestral elements. The whole soundtrack is beautiful.

My favorite game of all time, and favorite soundtrack in the game. So much memories
Shaq This game literally shaped me as a person. I so understand
I almost never let it become night in the game lol.
I never did
... I never did except when I had to switch to night to continue the game...
I know I know c:
*if only the night was longer tho*
I love both~
Man oh man, i might not remember everything that happens in the game but the music certainly resonated with me. same goes for disney movies; you forget the plot and everything then suddenly you are singing the words to a song you havent heard in 10 years XD
i wish i could erase everything i knew about okami and experience it for the first time again. i don’t think there will ever be another game like it at all. that’s both a good thing and a bad thing, good because this game is an experience like no other...and bad because every time i beat it, it makes the game ending even more painful. i dread coming to the end of the game because, i don’t want to leave the world of the game.
okami came to me at a very difficult time in my life, right when i needed a game like it. i’ve replayed it countless times, it’s like comfort food for me. and every time i replay it, it means a little bit more to me.
Have you ever played or heard of Xenoblade Chronicles, I personally love Okami, and then my brother got me to play Xenoblade, and I loved it, the storyline, the character development, it was beautiful.
@@Trix_are_for_kids i’ve been thinking about picking up xenoblade 2!! it looks absolutely beautiful. i’m a big fan of the ni no kuni series and it really reminds me of those games
OKAMI IS GETTING A PROPER SEQUEL FROM CAPCOM AND KAMIYA IS DIRECTING!!!
I found listening to the music during travel is a very awesome experience.
Nothing like driving though Salt lake city when it's snowing hard and the Kamui theme playing.
I can't describe how this song hits my feelings, its so beautifull yet epic, oh my god the chills
It's one of the best song in Okami (of course for me).
eXe654 I picture myself on horseback running through the coast. The sounds of the taiko drums are the horse hoofbeats hitting the sand as we race the sandy shores. I can smell the salty sea air and running free like the wind. I can almost picture the joyful cries of falcons/sea kites riding along the sky currents. The beginnings of a journey with promising adventure ☺️ The Feels!
It really is. Like I'm totally fighting tears Bc it's so beautiful but I'm sitting in a room full of people lmao
this music is throwing me back to the game
Oh my God... This is beautiful.
Still beautiful
One of the games that will forever be a part of my childhood
I can feel the breeze and smell the sea with this song...I would always hang around Ryoshima Plains just to hear this and look at the scenary.
I never eally payed too much attention to music in games. That is, until Okami. This game made me realize how awesome some game music is, and how much it contributes to the entire experience. Thank you Okami, you are a timeless gem in the world of games
That music when you think you finished the game and realize you barely completed a quarter of it. What a blast!
I played this game the first time when I was 10.I can remember that too well, because I was just so surprised because it always happen something you don´t expect.And now after 4 years it is still my favorite game, and I always have to cry at the end even if I played it so much times now
I will play a flute like that one day.
learn how to make the flute into a lightsaber like waka
May this comment be read in 10 years when Okami 2 is a few years old
The first time I played this game on the Wii, I legitimately had no idea that not only does Orochi isn't even CLOSE to being the final boss, but that I had an entirely new zone to explore!

Okami is a game which I will never forget. The enriched story, music, characters, etc. is so great. Its a beautiful game visually and mentally.
Okami is an amazing game, one of the best I played!
I love the parts where you can hear the harp in the background of the song
I love this soundtrack
I feel like all of Okami's songs are designed to make you feel sadness, happiness, and power mixed all together. After finishing the game I feel so nostalgic listening to them again

this is the best video game you've ever played, hands down.
Running wild at full speed through the Ryoshima plains/coast with the second half of this song following your steps gotta be the best feeling ever in a videogame.
Tears to my eye... I miss this game so much...
Ok this and Giving Kushinanda a ride are my favorite songs in the game
i agree
Am I the only one who wants to go to Ryoshima Coast?
Nope ur forgtting me
and me
+SuperThunderBolt2™ ROAD TRIP
To Nippon? Count me in :D
+green fiya Well ryoshima coast is a beach so you can find one place at least with the same feeling of ryoshima.
Is anyone else still listening to this wonderful piece of art in these days? Because I do! 🔈♥
This song is a classic!
2023 and still listening
The soundtrack of Okami has something for everyone, it's absolute beauty and manages to capture every emotion possible, whether it be sadness or a feeling of triumph. The songs are perfect for the various settings of the game and no theme in it will disappoint, if you haven't experienced this masterpiece yet, do yourself a favor and get it. if you hate it for graphics, try it anyway, you won't regret it.
Listening to this beautiful ost makes me want to play Okami again, this game is such a masterpiece
just love it when the drums come in
Best idea ever, MrEcentric. If only the music from Okami was the soundtrack to all our lives.
Wow, this brings back memories of spending HOURS with my PS2, playing this and finally reaching the end
You're right, this has to be out of all of the songs (and there are a lot of fantastic ones, too) this is the best song. (Well, to me!) It gets even better when the drums and everything is added in! I love just to run around, run on the water and jump off of everything when I go to Ryoshima Coast! A very powerful song indeed! I love Okami!

Oh god the memories. I miss this game so bad. Such beautiful soundtrack and an amazing scenery. A great plot to boot as well.

i'm very thankfull you made these vids,relly an good idea
the best open world game that ever made in the entire gaming history, with beautiful art style, epic sound track. this game will always be a part of my childhood
Somewhere out there, Chuggaaconroy is gushing.
My favorite area of the game. one because of the epic music, two because of all the exploring and fishing you could do over there
I'm here from Chuggaaconroy's LP, and my god, what a masterpiece this game is, and that's from someone who's (unfortunately) never had the chance to play it. The graphics, the story, the music, the characters... Everything is a work of art in this game (no pun intended).
I cant stop playing this game!
The music is perfect!!
To me, this song speaks to me of just running free. I remember I quit my last crappy job and as I was walking down the hall, this song popped into my head. I just felt so relieved, that I was finally freeeeeeeeee!
Nostalgie !

I want an okami game as well as a muramasa game on 3DS or wii U

Night and day themes. And you, my friend are about to play an immortal piece of art--a beautiful one at that.
Yes, it is! Beautiful music and scenery. Words cannot describe it.
Majesty itself put into music, this score is incredible :3
I remember I had this song playing in my head when I was leaving a job I hated on the last day. I just felt so free!
Next to Kushi's Ride, this is my second favorite music in this incredible game.

So did I! I spent so much time just running around and jumping watching the trail of flowers and listening to this! Tearful here too. :D

Always will remain in my memories. Still can't believe I had the opportunity to play as a wolf. Cool

Here's some summer music for you guys...
sure man you spoke the right word, this is playin' art in all its splendor, one in a liefetime, you know what? there shouldn't be a sequel , because when the games become series they ussually lose all originality and i don't want that to happen to this jewel, this is a mark for what it means to be playing art, something that most games lack nowadays
I can listen to this everyday. Most relaxing soundtrack ever!
I liked to listen to this and just keep running around the area and jumping, doing nothing important, just to enjoy the music and views. What a masterpiece.
I'am at home. I finally played and finished this amazing game. I shed tears of joy when I listen musics of this incredible game wich is Okami.
I always end up humming to this tune whilst running throughout this part of the game. Its so epic!
I bought the HD version on steam and the only complain I have about the game is that the music could be a lot louder! It's not fair if I don't get to blast this masterpiece and many other songs in the game.
when the song plays i was watching the okami running the coast and ITS FEEL AWESOME!!
So great, just feels like the beginnning of an epic adventure.
Beautiful game, beautiful music... I love Okami. Thank you for uploading the music, I really enjoy it!
I have no idea why, but I only recently took up a love for this song. I never really paid any attention to it, despite all the time I'd spent running around the area. Funny how the epic-ness of a song can just suddenly hit you, isn't it?
I love this game. Except Oni Island. I had pure luck that the maze went as well as it did.
The whole of Ryoshima Cost is my fav place in Okami.
Just loooove the theme to it too!
@nin10do11556 North and South Ryoshima Plains are in Okamiden around the time you get your 3rd and 4th partners, respectively. Each has a different theme, with South's being the closest to the original Okami version.
I loved running through the game fields to this music.
I think Okami was my most favorite game for the Playstation2!!
omg i luved this song. probably one of my favorite songs from the game :)
The drums make it so amazing...
Me quede 5 dias sin internet y me puse a jugar okami.
Nunca lo termine el juego lo abandone porque me habia perdido en alguna parte.
Lo volvi a jugar y me dio muchisima nostalgia y alegria volver a jugarlo :3
Un juegazo.... esta vez voy decidido a terminarlo de una vez por todas.
Damn, I thought it couldn’t get any better and then the drums started
Beautiful.
Absolutely freakin' beautiful.
Oh man this song is so great that I will cry to this. Love this game!
Yeah, everytime I'm listening this soundtrack, the drums vibrate all over my body, because it gives a sort of powerful energy.
2:46 Personal replay button don't mind me
The /really/ beautiful games is the ones that can evoke all emotions in you, happiness, laughter, sadness, fear and actually more. Good examples could be this and the Mother-series among others
Just be thankful there's any new version. The DS version could be a stepping stone to a new console version. However, I don't see how they'd ever top the original.
I was searching for Princess Mononoke's OST and found this. This music is so beautiful :3
I'm not going to harp on that masterpice, but this OST is just better than that OST in every conceivable way.
tcrpgfan I think they're both equal in terms of being masterpieces and having breathtaking soundtracks.
thats because the wii controls complicated the game mechanics, and they also took out the ending credits, which is a definite MINUS (probably didn't effect the score but still). Being a 'hidden' game should make us feel proud that we have had the chance to play it.
Man. I have to get this for my PS4 one day.
In japan there was an exclusive plush released though very limited. Also, someone on Deviantart makes them herself. I got one from her too and they look awesome ^^
Love the entire soundtrack, and this one is definitely one of the best (actually made me buy the game). The Ryoshima Plains version from the Tokyo Game Show 2005 promotion is really beautiful too, can't stop listening to it. Too bad it's so short. =)
I could listen to this song for hours
