Does it say anywhere in the game that she's a player? I'm guessing she at least knows a bit about playing the violin but I don't have her and I'm going off of the opening cutscene and how accurate the animations look (Especially with the end note and her fingers, that's when I was sold on playing the game 😂)
@@atriyakoller136 yeah, im pretty sure she talks about it in one of her voicelines but besides that, one of her idles is her pretending to play the violin (as in moving as if she was playing)

Thank you so much for performing my arrangement Ray Chen! I hope it was fun to play. Being a hobbyist, I love experimenting with variations in my arrangements. It adds a layer of excitement to the piece, transforming this song closer to a Vivaldi violin solo. Your performance truly captured the essence I aimed for!
Oh the man is here😂. Been waiting for your new upload. Your version of Kafka trailer cover is still my favourite Dramatic Irony cover to date even more than the original, keep on coming back to it whenever I want to hear the song 👍.

I love Mihoyo's classical music rearrangements. I've tried the Rondo Across Countless Kalpas which is a brand new soundtrack and original piece, it's so beautiful, I can only recommend.
this goes so hard, jesus christ. I just clicked on this because it popped up in my recommended and I was bored, and I did not expect to be stunned into speechlessness
As a beginner, it took me over a month to learn Canon in D. even so i sounded barely decent. And seeing Ray learn and play that difficult piece that fast in such a short time simply blew my mind!
For a beginner you did a good job in learning canon in d that fast! Ray is already a pro so you cannot really compare yourself with him. Just keep going!
Genshin Impact have many many motifs from classical music incorporated in their own compositions, it is really well done and the soundtrack is one of the most inspiring and emotional from today's game music!
Wholeheartedly agree. Even having been in this music thing for almost three decades, I still learnt a lot listening to the Genshin OST, especially works from Yu-Peng Chen. Truly inspiring and educational.

YOU'RE INSANE OH MY. As an intermediate violin player this inspires me so much to improve!!! Also your performance of this is beautiful, desperately need it on Spotify aaa
I am screaming. As someone who played the violin for 14 years, plays HSR, and is a long time Ray Chen fan, I could not help but smile and laugh that entire video 🤩
Standing ovation!!!! Wow, this was so exciting...loved the overlap of Ray's playing and the animation. Excellent editing and merging the awesome violin with the soundtrack. Epic!!
Just downloaded Tonic by Ray's recommendation. I may not be a classical musician, but I am hoping to get some further motivation to practice from my fellow music community!
I'd have to check to make sure - maybe memory is failing me... - But isn't this cow even more in love in this "teaser" than she was before? Ray's -charm- I mean playing (definitely! Ray's PLAYING!!!) works on all creatures (except cats, to be precise - they're too smart to be bewitched 😉 ...) 🤣🤣🤣
OMG… Although I don’t use Kafka in my team (because I don’t play the DOT team), she’s one of the most impressive characters to me in this game just because her trailer is so good 😭. When I watched Kafka’s trailer at the first time, I was just like Ray at the beginning of the video and thought that “It’s gonna be very great if Ray saw this video and play this version of Four seasons”. And wow that day has come. 🥳😭 Your playing is very good Ray 👍😍 I have to agree that this small performance of you is very amazing 👍 Thank you. Today you’re my best 👍😍😉
Such an amazing cover!! I've always wanted to play the violin since I was small and seeing these violin covers inspires me so much. I'm 24 years old now but I still want to learn the violin one day soon!
I'm a classical voice student and I'm just stunned by the energy and passion in your performance at the end; made me see this piece in a new light; thank you!
You are truly a violinist beyond par. You have played this rearrangement of Vivaldi's Winter & Summer so powerfully.... full of emotions and great interpretation!!! That is a WOW!!!
Always loved these types pf covers ever since the guitar cover of Bangarang many years ago. So glad to see ray try something similar on violin! Tons of fun to watch!
In game you don't really get to hear the song for very long, maybe the first minute or so, so this was really cool to watch. New appreciation towards kafka's song writers/performers, even just watching you play looks intense!
Wow, see a violinist playing Kafka's music and explaining how similar is to Vivaldi give me the interest to see more, pls I want more videos like this too !!
This is amazing, he did Kafka’s theme justice and more. As a side note, every time I see or hear someone playing violin, I always wish to learn it myself. Hopefully someday.
as a ray fan and an hsr player, this is a video i never knew that i needed. now i kinda wanna see him play the genshin themes, the new battle theme for golem boss in remuria is especially nice
I never would've imagined that someone could've accurately play this, as a former violinist myself (whilst not being super good lol), this is INSANELY impressive and I applaud you with all my soul. Still pretty bummed out about having to put down the instrument but my spirit is rekindled from hearing you play.
I don't know if anyone has already asked for it, but there is an ost of re:zero, requiem of silence, one of my favorites, I don't know how difficult it is because I've never tried to play it, but I think it would be cool, even though it's quite depressing. good video, even though I don't play the violin I really like watching it, thank you for bringing entertainment and knowledge
really a wonder to my ears. that's amazing! and the video really makes me understand how deeply Summer and Winter inspire the PV's music ( as I can only recognize the most recognizable parts and ingore the adapted ones)

Does tonic have sheet music on it? I've tried to find some but cant seem to find any... how do you search for it? 🤔
Yaya 🎉
Next are gonna be sparkle and acheron themes ;)
Oh, and please don't forget about " The rondo of a countless kalpas"😅
Ray Kafka's real name is indeed Franz Kafka despite being a woman
Lmao she's another version of Franz Kafka from Honkai Impact 3rd
kafka canonically being a violin player herself would so approve of this
Does it say anywhere in the game that she's a player? I'm guessing she at least knows a bit about playing the violin but I don't have her and I'm going off of the opening cutscene and how accurate the animations look

your cover kafka theme is so so good too❤❤❤
they just made the sheet, not the song @@artemistothemoon
I think Kafka is a reference to Franz Kafka because he wrote about fear and she feels no fear
There's also HI3 Hoyo's other game where Beethoven, Telsa, Einstein, Picasso, and other scientist, philosopher, musician characters turned into Waifu.

Come to northern Brazil lol.

😂
Actually Taiwan also skip all the other seasons LoL
(Where Ray born)
there is no winter in this countty, this is hell
@@silvxrlaven_ As someone from the south, I disagree
This really showed Ray’s openness to new things and experiments - “unlearn all the hours… and make room for the new…”. Keep it going! 😅😅
When he said that I got worried he'll accidentally play some of the HSR version next time he plays the OG version because he unlearned too much. XD
I love Mihoyo's classical music rearrangements.
I've tried the Rondo Across Countless Kalpas which is a brand new soundtrack and original piece, it's so beautiful, I can only recommend.
Might I suggest black swan trailer music. It was really great.

BRO ray chen's cover of a dramatic irony hits so DIFFERENT???? THATS INSANEEEE
this goes so hard, jesus christ. I just clicked on this because it popped up in my recommended and I was bored, and I did not expect to be stunned into speechlessness
Yep same 😂❤
Kafka's trailer and it's music is what got me into starrail actually...AND HER VOICE TOO!!!!!
i genuinely think that charecter is what has kept me playing it, her entire character is amazing
As a beginner, it took me over a month to learn Canon in D. even so i sounded barely decent.
And seeing Ray learn and play that difficult piece that fast in such a short time simply blew my mind!
For a beginner you did a good job in learning canon in d that fast! Ray is already a pro so you cannot really compare yourself with him. Just keep going!
Seeing Jasmine Choi play Genshin OSTs and now Ray Chen playing HSR exclusive trailer OST is a sight to behold, and a very much welcomed one ❤❤❤

They ate the whole buffet and got kicked out from the restaurant after they tried to eat the owner that attempted to stop him from eating more

I admit this is what I wanted after realizing that was Vivaldi in the Kafka trailer. THANK YOU TO RAY AND HIS GAMER FRIENDS FOR MAKING THIS REALITY!!!
Honkai Star Ray 😭🤣! Genius!

This is the Kafka of the Law. HSR is the kingdom where violinists seldom dwell, but in this case, it is absolutely fantastic!
7:21 start, so good❤
YOU'RE INSANE OH MY. As an intermediate violin player this inspires me so much to improve!!! Also your performance of this is beautiful, desperately need it on Spotify aaa
I'm just so happy to see the collaboration of Ray Chen and Hoyo, even though the thing is sacrilegious. I think we'd like to see more of these
Editor is a beast!
Ray is a beast as we all know, hoping for more Hoyoverse from you every now and then.
I just want to take time and say thank you to Kafka for getting me into classical music. She's a woman of culture.
I am screaming. As someone who played the violin for 14 years, plays HSR, and is a long time Ray Chen fan, I could not help but smile and laugh that entire video 🤩
RAY CHEN PLAYING HOYOVERSE SONGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing and Epic as always RAY!
KAFKA WOULD 100% APPROVE
she definitely listens to Ray's recordings
Oh my God, I can't believe Ray, I love you!!! ❤ Thank you for your reaction! 🥰 And thank you for playing! ^^
As a Kafka simp and a ray chen fan, I LOVED this
Goosebumps isn‘t enough to describe what I just felt.
Standing ovation!!!! Wow, this was so exciting...loved the overlap of Ray's playing and the animation. Excellent editing and merging the awesome violin with the soundtrack. Epic!!
oooooh i would like to see the Jepella Rebellion and Acheron animated short reaction!!!!
He should check the performance of A Dramatic Irony in Star Rail LIVE 2024 at 6:20. Great Video!
huge respect for you man♥for actually nailing it!
also respect for the editor who handled the clips on the performance part🔥
I can feel the energy. you play it like its a boss theme...
Nice arrangement! Amazing composer Linden Violin and Ray Chen
I do not understand a thing about classical music this man is explaining, but god he plays so well! It sounds super cool!!
Editor san, you outdid yourself with this video, holy moly!
what is this beautiful melody that bless my ears 😭😭
Just downloaded Tonic by Ray's recommendation. I may not be a classical musician, but I am hoping to get some further motivation to practice from my fellow music community!
Same username as here. Hope you enjoy the music I play.

0:59 what a sultry voice indeed 😩
wowowowow that’s incredible Ray 😂 you made EDMusic into real life oh that’ s strong skill.
Kafka is my favorite character so I thank you for giving this one a shot. It has given me a better understanding of how hard it is to play this
First time hearing the original, gives me goosebumps. Now hearing this, makes me feels like hearing it for the first time again. Absolutely love that.
Such an amazing cover!! I've always wanted to play the violin since I was small and seeing these violin covers inspires me so much. I'm 24 years old now but I still want to learn the violin one day soon!

I'm a classical voice student and I'm just stunned by the energy and passion in your performance at the end; made me see this piece in a new light; thank you!
Your cover sounded so good!! I loved the energy, and the editing looks awesome with it!!
Kafka's trailer is my favourite from this game and I saw this video because of it. And I'm glad I did, you're amazing, loved to hear you playing!
この方の才能が羨ましいです👏
ただコピーするだけでなくパワフルな弾き語りの演奏は彼の魅力ですね😌
You are truly a violinist beyond par. You have played this rearrangement of Vivaldi's Winter & Summer so powerfully.... full of emotions and great interpretation!!! That is a WOW!!!
Four Seasons alone is extremely impressive and to see Hoyo make such an insane mix of Winter and Summer is crazyyyy.
Always loved these types pf covers ever since the guitar cover of Bangarang many years ago. So glad to see ray try something similar on violin! Tons of fun to watch!
WHO LET HIM COOK!?
THAT'S SO FIRE🔥
Omg two of my faves together this is dopamine distilled
Hoyoverse really know how to do excellent video game music. Some of the best in the business and I loved this interpretation of the piece
Seeing a live performance of the violin parts while muting the edm just gived so kuch chill thank you for covering this sir!!!!!! ❤
“Violinist nails Kafka” 💀
Lamoo
"Violinist nails Kafka: A Dramatic Irony"

it's "A Dramatic Irony" because it's Kafka who nails violinists 😂

As a Kafka main I really appreciate your work 👍
Как же это классно! Большое спасибо тебе за проделанную работу. Выражаю тебе огромное уважение.
Kafka would be proud. You nailed this!
man that was NUTS, you went so hard on it, and it simply sounded GLORIOUS :D
Nice this gave the same chills when I first saw the trailer. Well done.
I wasn't expecting to see HSR on your channel but I do love this video, thank you Ray!

wow, damn this made me appreciate what they did so much more and also really impressed. Thanks for breaking it down. You're skills are insane
These videos are high quality and motivating. I just enjoyed every second of it. please keep making these. Thank you
I think is the best performance video I saw of this trailer. You're a master of master Ray!

got 7 goosebumps listening to this masterpiece

how the f seeing kafka's piece being played live feel soooooo much more interesting than hearing the studio version of it
Woof the amount of time spent in preparing and editing of this video is obvious! Nice work and of course great playing Ray🤛🏻
Wow. Amazing performance! This Vivaldi Winter and Summer remix sounds so epic, loved it.
I have been waiting for this vid so long :)) thank you so much Ray.
Performance - superb, editing - amazing 🔥🔥👍👍😍😍🔥🔥👍👍😍😍🔥🔥👍👍😍😍
Thank you for trying this out it was nice seeing someone learn and play it.
Wow!! I love love love!! the way you break it down for us. So very enjoyable. Thank you Ray x
That amazing moment when one of my favourite games and one of my favourite classical musicians meld into one YT video. Mind blown.
dont know if this is a musical genre but I love to hear classical music with a modern twist like this one
