I for one loathed the samba tunes of the first half of the game. The character themes are great, but the environmental music in the islands grates on me hard.
I don't know if I'm the first to make this connection, but listen to Gladion's Battle theme and then listen to the "Run Away/Fugitives" theme from Pokemon Red and Blue rescue team! It works even better considering Gladion is a Fugitive and a Run Away! That is so cool.
Holy crap, I just looked at that, and this is amazing. I strongly doubt that this was intentional, since the PMD games really don't have any connection to the main series, other than the Pokémon, of course.
Gladion is a walking Jojoke, how can you not like him. Sometimes it feels like he's the only one with any sense in the group! I like this cover a lot, as always, you nail the harmonies between all the instruments, I like the bass especially.
I honestly can't choose a favourite, Gladion's theme, or Lusamine's theme. The music in this game is so damn good! Plus, you add that extra little touch this music deserves! Keep on with the Sun and Moon Covers man, they're amazing!
insaneintherainmusic You make a good point, but I guess the music is supposed to convey the character they represent, which is done so well in this case!
I’ve been listening to this song on Spotify since it came out without even playing sun and moon. Now finally getting into the game I immediately started singing along to this theme everytime I met Gladion. This song is awesome
You know what? Real talk for a second, you always pull this shit off flawlessly. Themes that have little to no connection to this genre, and you make it sound ear-moisteningly good. So I'm going to put out this idea. You know how the other big genre for these kinds of covers is metal? (See: FamilyJules, 331Erock, Richaad, etc...) I want the stark opposite of that; I want to see metal songs jazzified. Yeah, you could do some low-hanging fruit like practically any Sonic boss between 1999 and 2008 (but that's more butt-rock), or maybe Metal Gear Rising, but no... You need a challenge. DOOM's OST. I'll make the deal sweeter and point out the juicy bits. "Rip and Tear" and "BFG Division" are the pieces that stand out the most. What do you say?
Man, that's quite the challenge. I listened to the tracks, but I just don't see much of a way of doing it for myself... if I had the bari, this might be doable..
I'd help, but the only things I'm good at are listening to problems and playing ESO. You know other musicians; scream at them until they ask what's wrong, then ask for help. (or don't do it. don't feel obligated, duh.)
@@insaneintherainmusic Now that we've gotten Eternal, do you think you could pull off The Only Thing They Fear Is You? (Having seen what you've pulled off before, I fully think you can, for sure!)
ohhhh, is this a Christmas present? I am soooooo glad you did this song, and that you've included a slap bass. I can't tell you how many remixes I've heard without it.
I guess it's a present for you! :p And yeah, this song would not have been the same without slap bass. In fact, I split the bass track into 2, and worked on the high end separately to bring out the slap bass!
All of these Sun and Moon covers are so good its not even funny. They are all even more accurate. It emphasizes what good of a soundtrack these games have.
I was touring BoCo and Berklee today and was thinking of you, especially when I saw a bunch of pokemon stuff hanging up in one of the dorms. Thanks for completing an already awesome day with a stupefying cover of what is already one of my favorite pokemon battle themes.
This makes me think about like a Pokemon AU where it's like mafia, kind of like MafiaTale, an undertale AU and everyone has like jazz themes instead of normal ones
THE LAST VIDEO I SAW FROM THIS CHANNEL WAS BACK WHEN UNDERTALE JUST CAME OUT WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE THEM STILL MAKING INCREDIBLE COVERS *FREAKIN SUBBED*
Thanks for coming back to the channel, I really appreciate it! I've been making good music this entire time... so it seems like you've got a lot of music left to go through!
"Get out" Gladion is cool and all but that line makes him an S tier characters. I mean Guzma is cool too. S tier: Pyumuku, Dunsparce, Relicanth, Guzma "Y'all are stupid", Gladion, Hapu A tier: Lillie B tier: mom character C tier: D tier: Oak F Tier: Exited tier: Hau "Hey wanna look at my abs?" Tier: Prof. Kukui
insaneintherainmusic I want to ask a question on one of your old songs......The song "Ashley's Song", is the soli (the part where it is only you playing) part an upscale or something like that?
Gladion's battle theme (at least, the part around 0:18) kinda sounds like "Run Away" from the PMD Rescue Team games... It's fitting, considering how Gladion ran away from Aether, but I doubt it's intentional.
I actually did a cool mixing technique on this - I split the bass in two, and mixed the high end (basically 2k and up) separately from everything below. Really made the slaps come out.
This is one of my favourite soundtracks of Alola, it sounds like a very important fight with an important person and it bring me emotion when I am going to fight with him.
carlos i actually told my brother that you should make gladions theme as a jazz cover he said this song would not work with jazz and then this happens firs you give us lusamine then hau oli and now gladions theme aether paradise theme needs to happen ps. Great music
First I was into trending pop songs. Moving on, thanks to Guitar Hero 3 I managed to get into some casual rock songs. Then my one friend managed to pull me into Dubstep. Later on I discovered that I also have a thing going on for Metal and even som Hard Rock. And now while looking for a metal version of Gladion Battle Theme you just pulled me into the world of Jazz. Thank you very much insaneintherainmusic, much liked quacks for you! :)
I've been re-watching a lot of your videos and have noticed something that really makes me happy as a musician. I'm not only listening to the awesome music that you put out, but I also pay attention to the body language. In this cover as well as your other covers, I absolutely get a kick out of seeing you and/or the guests smiling like crazy during solo trade-offs or some insanely well done lick or riff. This happens to me all the time when I play in a combo or some group: it is a super awesome feeling! You know you're in the right field when you can show others just how much you enjoy what you do!
Heck yeah! It’s a lot easier for me to express myself musically when I’m playing live with other musicians. I try to express myself in that capacity in my videos a much as possible, even though I’m playing all the parts myself!
This might be one of my favorite jazz pieces, right up there with Moondance, Feels So Good, and Stardust. Holy shit man, you make such fine goddamn art. Keep up the phenomenal work!
This works a little TOO well.
Truegreen7 Hey
The slap bass, though. THE SLAP BASS.
that SLAP BASS THO
Agreed
@@insaneintherainmusic slap bass is super effective against me
If they played this on the Elevator I would never leave
GetsugaProductions It literally would be the ultimate trap! xD

Me neither! I truly love pokemon!💘😻💘😻

MOVE OVER SILVER! THERE'S A NEW EDGY RIVAL WITH A BAD PARENT!
HELL YEA, GO N!
Wait- That's not who you're talking about? Oops.
Ans what about N?
Dr Pedrão n only fits the bad parent part
Yeah, N isn't edgy as much as he is a hippy. Gladion is so edgy, even his hoodie has spikes.
Detective Bohobe his parent is friccin Owain from fire emblem awakening. Do you see this kids twitching sword hand?
10/10 puns in description, 10/10 cover. god this game's music is insanely good
10/10 would thank you for leaving such a nice comment.
insaneintherainmusic loved the addition of the insanely good bass player!
I for one loathed the samba tunes of the first half of the game. The character themes are great, but the environmental music in the islands grates on me hard.

-Our Hero Gladion, 2016
goodness, my son Gladion, who knew your theme would make for such good jazz?
SPOILER WEE WOO WEE WOO
insaneintherainmusic I didn't mean to. D,: I was just joking about how much I like Gladion, but it ended up sounding spoilery... :'(
Can I just point out, that wouldn't have even been anything like a spoiler until SPOILER WEE WOO came along and basically gave everyone a plot hint.
Tbh, I guessed before the games were even released.
I have to say this is undeniably the best music to play while fucking people up in tf2.
Man, I used to play TF2....
insaneintherainmusic Don't worry it sucks now
I guess it got replaced by overwatch pretty much, huh?
insaneintherainmusic Nope, just sucks now
OverThinking OVERWATCH has some great music you should cover some of it ;)
Who plays the drums in your tracks? Btw super good stuff.
They're programmed via MIDI into Superior Drummer 2.0! Great sounding sample library :)
That is actually super cool! :O
Yeah! It's kind of tedious to program the tracks, but they sound great!

1:12 Dark World...is that you?
This covers soothes my worries away. Nice improv u guys!
1:39 I love the inclusion of Lusamine's theme. It works so well and adds a lot to the cover!
This is the best cover of our favorite edgelord.
DTM1218 it's just the TYPE of music I like
FazeVape420 g

ThePopStarDude also if you put the lyrics of battle tendency opening to his theme it fits like a glove..
His theme should've been Bloody Stream
I cried my ass of at this game. It's definitely got some of the best music in the series, especially Gladion's theme.
Always a sucker for slap bass. Really cool panning going on here too!
If Pokemon Sun & Moon was a Film-Noir story. Make Looker the hard-boiled hero and I'd watch it, bruh!
Don't forget Detective Pikachu!
Thalins Genohan *we don't speak of that game*
The other Detective Pikachu.
Quality shit. Good shit. Gotta love this theme. Gotta love this game.
God dammit I'm obsessed with this game.
same, but i did it within 3 days. But same
JM Bird 5143 within two.
peepoTM same, second favorite game in series, only beaten by black and white
GOOD SHIT THAT'S SOME GOOD SHIT RIGHT THERE IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF I SAY SO
SAME
This is the best cover worthy of the best JoJo in Pokemon
This is so sick dude! :D
Doesn't this theme remind you of some other game? 1:12 Besides that "LoZ: Dark World" section.
Oh crap, you're right!
Connor Walker Yeah, you're right.
Connor Walker TRUEE
You're thinking of the Run Away/Fugitives Theme from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team! :)
Matthew Castronova Nice! Thanks for helping to clear my conscience.
I didn't know I needed this until now ;.;
Wow absolute perfection right here. Bassist killed it too
sounds like it should be in game as his theme during the end when he chills out with his edginess and shows his soft side.
Maybe when he _finally_ admits that he considers the protagonist a friend
(will that ever happen lmao)
I honestly can't choose a favourite, Gladion's theme, or Lusamine's theme. The music in this game is so damn good! Plus, you add that extra little touch this music deserves! Keep on with the Sun and Moon Covers man, they're amazing!
I like Gladion's theme more, it's a little less crazy and more groovy :)
insaneintherainmusic You make a good point, but I guess the music is supposed to convey the character they represent, which is done so well in this case!
God damn this is possibly even better then the original. Good job as always.
I’ve been listening to this song on Spotify since it came out without even playing sun and moon. Now finally getting into the game I immediately started singing along to this theme everytime I met Gladion. This song is awesome
Pokemon ft. Zelda (dark world theme) + swag = this
Amazing! :)
1:38 Lusamine's theme. Just wow, you little sneaky -

i was going to like this comment until i saw it was on 69 likes so no like for you
Very well done! Love the sneaky addition of Lusamine's theme at 1:39
It fits well with the relationships in the game :)
This is so good. By far the best rival theme, made even better!!
ohhhh, is this a Christmas present? I am soooooo glad you did this song, and that you've included a slap bass. I can't tell you how many remixes I've heard without it.

All of these Sun and Moon covers are so good its not even funny. They are all even more accurate. It emphasizes what good of a soundtrack these games have.
Thanks so much, man :D
1:17 I was waiting on song of storms LOL
Or Dark World XD
Same lol
Wow, I've never realized there's a Dark World cameo, lol. Great work!
Was looking forward to this. Glad you hit it! Fantastic Sax as always. It's just so... saxy. Hah. Okay, no more.
Damn, this sounds like an objection theme towards the end! I can't believe how much quality you two squeezed out of a one-minute song. Amazing work.
That's what I do, 1 minute songs turn into 5 minute epics!
That sounds just like something out of MK8. Fantastic Job!
Christopher Bartsch I was thinking the same thing!!
I was touring BoCo and Berklee today and was thinking of you, especially when I saw a bunch of pokemon stuff hanging up in one of the dorms. Thanks for completing an already awesome day with a stupefying cover of what is already one of my favorite pokemon battle themes.

I'm in the area though so if you have any performances coming up I'd love to come

I listened to this when you first posted it. After COUNTLESS times of hearing it again. Today is when I noticed what you did at 3:40. You sly thing
This would fit well with Mt. Coronet's atmosphere
Relaxing beats to Battle and Fight
I just want to take the time to personally thank you for all the work that you've done. Your music is simply inspirational.
Thank you so much man! I put a lot of time into each and every song, and I'm glad you're enjoying all of it!

"Hey wanna look at my abs?" Tier: Prof. Kukui
Justin killed it with the slap bass. Amazing!
Justin is AMAZING
That was tight as hell dude! Slap bass really makes this tune what it is (and of course, your musicianship as always).
Thanks man! Yeah, I almost did an arrangement of this tune without the slap bass, and then I realized that THAT WAS WHAT MADE THE SONG SO COOL
Yeah mate. Did you just add that little dark world section as a bit of an eater egg?
Subbed. I would have never thought someone would have done a jazz version of Gladion's theme. He and Guzma's themes give me life. Will def be back.
Thanks for subbing, dude! I put out new videos every Saturday.
...I didn't even know I wanted this until now...thank you...
I didn't know either :P
insaneintherainmusic I want to ask a question on one of your old songs......The song "Ashley's Song", is the soli (the part where it is only you playing) part an upscale or something like that?
Way to make me get feel homesick for Alola. Sun and Moon were the best Pokémon games and the best hype/marketing cycle ever. Period.
Woah! i never knew Gladion and Jazz would go so well together. Also did i hear a bit of the Dark World from Alttp?
C'est magnifique, et extrêmement original ! Bref, en 2 mots: J'ADORE !
1:11 Zelda Alttp Dark World theme
This cover expresses the pure Beauty of the song but still shows the intensity to keep the song flowing 10/10 -ign
Gladion's battle theme (at least, the part around 0:18) kinda sounds like "Run Away" from the PMD Rescue Team games... It's fitting, considering how Gladion ran away from Aether, but I doubt it's intentional.
Those were my thoughts exactly, I think the melodies are just coincidentally similar.
insaneintherainmusic I think that the theme might have been incorporated to into Gladion's to provide some irony around his character.
I'm not even exaggerating, you are the best music youtuber...
Thanks so much man, glad you like it!
*Gladion you like it!
great cover but don't act like we didn't see your comment on "vast poni canyon"
SHH
That wide panned unison line half way through was just candy to the ears.
Thanks dude! That's Lusamine's motif.
The last part in E flat minor must have been hell to play!
D# minor on saxophone... it sucked!
insaneintherainmusic Do you have any techniques to help with complex fingering, or is it really just a matter of muscle memory?
Muscle memory build through practicing scales! Also, just read a lot of material in obscure keys like that.
insaneintherainmusic Thanks!
You hit every point, fantastic arranging of a battle theme with both upbeat and funky parts! And great bassing Justin!
I actually did a cool mixing technique on this - I split the bass in two, and mixed the high end (basically 2k and up) separately from everything below. Really made the slaps come out.
I was gonna say, that's a great way to mix slap! Compress low different than hi and so on :D
Do a jazz cover of Guzma's battle theme lol.
yeah do it!
Definately do that!
I wanna see destruction in Jazz form...
"IT"S YA BOI! TIME TO GET JAZZY!"
pls yes
5 years and this still my fav
It was only missing an aaaaahhhhh yeaaaaaahhh
AWWWWW YEAH
I think Gladion's team is essentially a Jazz team so it fits perfectly. Congrats! You are doing an excellent job
Thank you!
I was sent here by Grant Bytheway. SO FUCKING GOOD I LOVE IT!!!!
iv always said if I could learn one instrument it would be the Sax. this pretty much seals that for me
Carlos I'm GLADion that you made this jazz cover. it's one of my favorites from the game and you out done yourself
Nice joke. Thanks!
If Gladion had a level on Skullgirls basically
(Or his SSB Modded theme)
Anyway I love this!
The Hooded-Guru 2 That's exactly what I was thinking :)
This is weird but my cat absolutely adores your music for some reason, especially when there is saxaphonage
I can imagine hearing this in Bayonetta
Having listened to this song for hours on end, I'm loving listening to a new version of it! Thanks!
Glad to provide some refreshment to your ears!
Silver 2.0 has a theme as good or better than Silver 1.0
This is one of my favourite soundtracks of Alola, it sounds like a very important fight with an important person and it bring me emotion when I am going to fight with him.
carlos i actually told my brother that you should make gladions theme as a jazz cover
he said this song would not work with jazz
and then this happens
firs you give us lusamine then hau oli and now gladions theme
aether paradise theme needs to happen
ps. Great music
I mean, I gotta complete the relationship here....
ooohhh so a Lillie theme next possibly
btw thx for replying

It's on my to do list!
for me, this is one of those videos that you find just by clicking recommendations over and over. and holy crap was it worth it. [Subscribed]
hey, thanks for subbing! appreciate it :)
I love this and your clever puns!
this reminds me of something I can't quite bring to mind, maybe cowboy bebop
The first part of Gladion's theme sounds very similar to A Link to the Past's Dark World theme, IMO. Maybe that's what you hear?
David Rigdon Rigdon i also think about Cowboy Bebop, the jazz style
If you've payed the first pokemon mystery dungeon games you can hear part of Run Away, Fugitives in Gladion's Battle theme.
Man, Gladion's theme is amazing and this jazz cover just makes it even more better. I can't get enough of it.
Hey, thanks so much for listening!
Reminds me of Mario Kart 8 music.
Perhaps I should do some Mario Kart 8 covers, then?
Your passion is hard not to admire! Great rendition! ^^
Thanks for listening :D

Combines two of my favorite things: Jazz and Pokémon! Awesome!
Gahhh I just love that bassist!!! I love the way he smiles while hes playing!! You can totally tell he enjoys what he does :)
Yeah, Justin really loves what he's doing! It's hard to smile and play the sax at the same time, otherwise I think you'd see me smiling more!
I did not expect this to sound so good on sax!
This might be one of my favorite jazz pieces, right up there with Moondance, Feels So Good, and Stardust. Holy shit man, you make such fine goddamn art. Keep up the phenomenal work!
Thanks a bunch, man :)
i have never understood nor held my breath listening to a piece, i now understand and have done it for the first time
Oh man, thanks so much :) Hope you didn't forget to breathe!!!
Love the dark world theme added in here, it actually really works with gladion
Thanks dude! Same key, same groove.
