    I only started listening to SHIKI's music a few days ago, but both Pure Ruby and Lapis have been getting looped a lot during that time, and thanks to using UA-cam Music, this video showed up on my UA-cam home. It's a shame to have lost a great artist, his music really is great, but I am glad I was able to find his works, and I hope more people can too

    oh my god...
    his life was so tragic, I had no idea about his childhood. Oh my god...
    I remember when he released his last song, I thought that was his triumphant comeback to the BMS scene ;;
    I was shocked when I read the news (finally confirmed)
    SHIKI's found peace, he was is and forever will be one of BMS' pillars.
    may his soul rest in peace

    Thanks a lot for this video. This was very informative for me especially as someone who has loved his music since middle school. Knowing his backstory finally made sense to me as I always sensed that something wasn't right with him. As do you, I too wish he is at a better place now.

    This is a fantastic video about SHIKI and he is definitely one of my favorite BMS composers, if not my favorite. It is hard to pick one favorite track from him. But I think my three most played tracks by him in BMS are definitely: Lapis, Sepia, and Angelic Layer. SHIKI's impact on music games is legendary and he'll forever be known as a legend. RIP SHIKI, may he rest well now.

    I only came across Shiki's work from the recommendation of a different artist after he passed away, and I haven't dug into all his work even still, but so many songs are absolutely transcendent. A feeling all at once of fighting against an impossible onslaught, and experiencing the perfect flow state. The kind of songs that make me grateful humanity has been blessed to have music.

    It's still pretty sad to see someone so talented passed away.
    Thank you for this video that make me know more about this awesome composer.

    IIRC, SHIKI had used the alias "S" in his very early days (probably in 2002)...
    I was so surprised to learn that he looked up to -45 and had worked with the legendary Vocaloid artist amyu/fatp/D.S.L...
    Good night, SHIKI. May you rest in peace.

    I once found one of Shiki's songs in a game called "SG:R" or "Star Glitcher ~ Revitalized", I would listen to their music everyday, so as going to school. But the time I found out they are dead, I was sad so, I mourn the lost of my fav song artist by listening to their music. Their song, "Rose Quartz" is in the game, it brings me memories of the game before they 6 month shut down. Yet, I still felt the presence of Shiki near me.
    Note: My fav songs from them is the full album Cristierra, its a good album and must recommend and ngl, AIR hits harder than the real AIR we breathe now

  • @DDRDAIKENKAI
    @DDRDAIKENKAI Рік тому

    Firstly, thank you so much, RinnyThe16th, for creating this video. This was recommended amongst me listening to some of his music today, and I am glad to see a video such as this, memorializing his work and lifting up his legacy.
    I first encountered SHIKI's music through StepMania (SM) back in 2005 or so. AIR was my first song I had ever heard, and MY GOD-the feelings of euphoria and intrigue upon my first listen outside of the game were so intense, I still get hype when I hear the song to this day. I was HOOKED, and he instantly became one of my favourite artists within the genre. I ended up coming across more of his music through the keyboard packs I used to play in SM, namely Cold Breath and Sepia.
    Around the same time as I found those songs, I was made aware of Lunatic Rave (2, at the time), and SHIKI's music website. As someone with little to no access to IIDX, learning about the both of these things at the same time was a HUGE point of joy, and opened a whole new realm for me to explore. In finding tunes to play within his website, I came across A BEAUTIFUL WINGS. Your description of that song within this video pretty much perfectly sums up my sentiments with this song, and it still sits among my favourite songs of his (in the company of AIR, Rose Quartz, and Angelic Layer).
    I hadn't played LR2 in ages, and was playing SM significantly less by the time 2020 rolled around, but I still quite often found myself listening to his music, and started to keep up with his releases again, since they were placed on Apple Music. I was glad to be keeping up with his recent works again. Thus, hearing the news of his passing truly gutted me. It was an enormous loss for the Rhythm Game community, still felt today. I legit cried both upon hearing his passing AND after playing Angelic Tears in DJMAX with their heartwarming message for him.
    I am so grateful for his heart, mind, and his willingness to share his beautiful works of art with the world. SHIKI will never be forgotten, and his memory shall echo eternally through the soundscapes he's left behind. May he continue to rest, peacefully.💙

After watching this video, I believe I have learned to appreciate his music a lot more on a sentimental level. Thank you very much for your tribute, and may SHIKI's legacy lives on forever.

    just wanted to say nice work, had hoped someone would make a brief vid on shiki's legacy and how influential he really was on bms music, doujin music, and modern otoge music (as bland or common as it may be becoming now).
    also wanted to comment on trancecore, it's basically what the japanese called freeform trance back in those days, typically freeform is 190+ bpm, this is too fast for regular trance music that typically sits between 130-150. freeform hardcore also sits around that 190+ bpm region but is a bit different in sound but has very similar characteristics.
    i'm proud to be an early supporter of his works and still own most of the earlier trance album up till dramatic irony. he's sent them to me personally when i mailed him over a decade ago when my japanese wasn't at a comfortable level yet, very nice guy. i wasn't too fond of the vocal works but wish i had bought some of the GILDIA albums. it wouldn't be a stretch to say that i may have never gotten into doujin music in 2006 without shiki, learned japanese, and may have never met certain people online, so thanks where ever you are now.... recently i saw trancer doll's up for 4500 yen in the suruguya store, so i think some people are catching on to this bms legend....
    some other tidbits after fully watching the vid that weren't mentioned for a bit more context: AKITO is -45 (yoshikawa), Red person or 赤い人 is REDALiCE that runs Hardcore tano*c still, also if I recall correctly, manbow/groundbreaking is run by a person called siratama that also runs STR label, among others. these circles and people all still exist to this day, and -45 as well as zts are still legends in their own ways that are still alive that have composed parts of the umineko sound novel, incredible incredible people all of them. also the people who have worked on the bms bga like for babylon, tohru mitsuhashi still makes videos and art/album illustrations. there is a lot more i could write down here as I've been active around those days too, I even still remember SHIKI's real name, but I'm not sure that's what he or his family wants going around...
