The use of transients plays a big part too. It’s still loud but the producer didn’t smash the crap out of everything. This allows for a deeper feel when quieter parts actually get quiet. Unlike in America where every song is practically a rectangular block when you look at the sound waves.
@@chrishenderson420 on what basis are you comparing them to top musicians? Cuz they are probably the most technical musicians out there at the moment. Success wise, they're not at top.. but their recent album did reach #1 in billboard hard rock .. and probably around #30 in top 200 ..so they're getting there.. also, since they are just a musician band with no vocalist.. its a very difficult path for them here on to come into mainstream...
@@SlapB0X Uh LOL they are not even close to the most technical...widen your view my friend. They also get way more airtime than any other current "rockband" even though they would be considered modern prog. So not sure what you mean by not at the top. They are probably the most popular non vocalist band ever, but they are far from the most technical. Just search up technical guitar players on YT and you'll find a bunch who could blow them out of the water.
@@moonwalkerkop4479Gary Moore plays with a band. He's saying Ichika does this with just only his guitar. You should probably recommend some fingerstyle guitar player for this case.
Check out Stanley Jordan. Sometimes he plays with a band, but not always. Like Ichika, he primarily does two-handed 8-finger tapping, so he really doesn't need accompaniment
You weren't lying when you said "I poured everything into it." The meshing of techniques was really shows how far you've come with your guitar playing skill. It looks like Takumi went over 100% as well; The shots are amazing and the film grain is a very nice touch. Great MV all around
I think what attracts me to Ichika's playing so often is his use of melody and phrasing. It very closely resembles a lot of Zelda music, or at least gives me that vibe and it's so nostalgic and comforting I love it.
Aesthetic is imagery with any atmospheric music that creates a vibe. Ichika gives full stylized PRODUCTION that takes you on an adventure like a movie score. Lol sorry to get all semantical, but it had to be stated ❤️ 😊
Just like in the last video he did (the Q&A) he said he's gonna pore everything he has into this song, and make it a very emotional one, from his feelings to try and touch our hearts. I can already tell, it's gonna be the best thing that ever happened for awhile
Imagine you and your friends are exploring an abandoned building and you walk into a room with this. The song ends, the guitar spirit looks up and fades away leaving an empty overgrown room. Magical and beautiful as always! 🙌
This piece just transcend me into a realm where no pain exists, just angelic Melodies which heal all the scars this world gave me. I find no other way to describe the feelings this piece gives me. Ichika is such a genius musician and yet his channel is pretty much dead. Feel so bad that his compositions are not getting the recognition and appreciation they deserve. I genuinely feel sad for him 😞
Well that just means his popularity and recognition can only grow yeah? So we continue to support his musical endeavors. 🙂 Because music lovers love good music!
I think it’s sad people base music off popularity. If he’s doing what he likes, then nothing else matters. Besides, all his music is super repetitive and Devo had better wardrobe in the 80’s. Just calling balls and strikes
yeah absolutely blown away - just an unheard of level of artistry married with outstanding production - so glad I'm able to be alive at the same time - so endlessly inspired. just the uses of dynamics alone in ichika's playing communicates so much and really reminds me of why i developed nothing short of love for music. looking forward to this album immensely.
(POV) Your immortal and everyone you know and loved are gone, and your the only one alive in your old house rotting away, your clothes filled with plants, while you have nothing to do other than to play your guitar as you drift into eternity. That you convinced yourself that they were Already away...
Can't wait to hear it ! I know it'll be amazing like everything else Ichika does. Polyphia ft. Steve Vai and a new Ichika song in the same week. Definitely an amazing week for guitar fans 👌
@@JGofRadiance I actually got to meet them when they released their first album at a record store outside of Chicago. Like a dumbass I didn't get the album signed 😒
This man is easely the best guitarist of all time and nothing and nobody will make me change my mind. It just doesn’t sound like guitar. It sounds like music
This is oozing with Nier Automata vibes for me. Dunno whether that's due to natural elements taking over artificial ones (similarly to what happened halfway through the video for MGK, Glaive and Ichika's "more than life") or because of our dude's platinum bob haircut, lol. Either way, spectacular playing. It almost brings me to a parallel, ethereal reality. Bravo, Ichika!
I'm impressed... I have heard the likes of Al DiMeola, Pat Metheny, Carlos Santana ( when he jammed with Mahavishnu Orchestra)... this brother deserves to be named in that line! How have I not heard of him before?
This man right here is the guitar and the guitar is him. They have become one long ago and his hands will someday merge into the strings and frets. That’s if they haven’t already. I feel as though I’m watching and listening to sweet music ofc, but I’m mostly watching the beautiful relationship Ichika has with his guitar(s). It’s absolutely beautiful ❤
Not only do I want Ichikas playing skills, but also his wardrobe
like polyphia

I love how full Ichika’s playing is. It’s like a one man symphony.
Indeed.
also the word i had in mind. the mix is full despite him soloing
Yes. Wow.
When the strumming comes in 😳

Living in an age where ichika and polyphia is at their top of their game is a good time indeed

I don’t think this is their top, they’ll only get better

Hello nik
couldn't have said it better myself
Ichika is probably the first guitar player to give me chills from his performance of a single instrument alone. Keep up the great work!!!
I'd recommend listening to Gary Moore

Yeah, a lot of his songs also remind me of Zelda. Which is quite legendary
From a cultural perspective those chord progressions are very common in media so your association to something like Zelda is spot on
@@cr4d1kal LOL
@@Nickshreds890 wow that makes sense. his music is as comforting as Ryuichi and Joe's.
His music reminds me that I need to stop by an Inn and save my progress real quick.
Unbelievable. The level of mastery required to play such a complex and beautiful piece is absolutely insane.
This man is the definition of aesthetic
Dude's an exceptional bard class. I just got into his music recently and I've not been disappointed
Es un Bardo de Tierra
No 🧢

ichikaさんは僕たちと別の世界にいるみたい😊
Like a fairy living in the forest, watering plants with music
😃 Not far from the truth.
Like Polyphia without killer hooks, or the rest of the band. 😉
The sound is crystalline. Marvelous.
Just like in the last video he did (the Q&A) he said he's gonna pore everything he has into this song, and make it a very emotional one, from his feelings to try and touch our hearts. I can already tell, it's gonna be the best thing that ever happened for awhile
And it was the best thing that happened.
@@pewpewlesay1345 agreed
Ichika guitar tones lives in my mind and rent free
Angelic tones flowing like ocean waves.
The man is so dedicated to the practice of his art that grass and moss literally grew on him and around.
Man said it best... "Every frame of this entire video could be a wallpaper" lol
Great song and great work as always Ichika, keep slaying em bro =]
You guys absolutetly killed it with everything; The vibe, the Cinematography, the Melody. Kudos to the entire team!
Everything about this is beautiful from the music video to the actual song
Imagine you and your friends are exploring an abandoned building and you walk into a room with this. The song ends, the guitar spirit looks up and fades away leaving an empty overgrown room.
Magical and beautiful as always! 🙌
イチカさんのギタープレイは本当に繊細だね、聞くたびにいつも何か新しい発見ができる。
We're witnessing a legend of music emerging. I find it extremely fun to watch his creations as they are happening.
I can't wait because how this guy play guitar is very emotional love your songs dude
Man, he would make a great OST for a movie or anime and it will be a memorable masterpiece.
儚げなのに激しくもあり、、すごく好きです。何度も聴いてしまう
鳥肌がとまらない。頭から全身にブワーッて広がっていく。身体を療治されてる感じ。スゴイ。

It showed up as an ad and I don't regret checking it. I like his melody and style. Thank you, I found a gem.
This kid makes this instrument SING 👏👏👏👏👏 INCREDIBLE!!!!
His music is really calming, glad he makes his own songs they are really good
存在がまるでファンタジーだもんね。惚れる
When you listen to Ichika so much you get reminded of his other songs throughout the video. Incredible playing and breathtaking visuals, as expected
ビックリです！！ここまで綺麗に鳴らせる人、初めて見ました。
This sends goosebumps all over me.
Give it another 1000 years and maybe I’ll be on this guys level

I actually thought of Aeriths church in the slums in FFVII
Made me think of the Forest Temple from Zelda:OOT
I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses their index as a pick instead of a pick. Makes me happy

1:08のサビで鳥肌がスタンディングオベーションした。
Very interesting technique , sounds like a harp at times. Very passionate n soulful.
This man is easely the best guitarist of all time and nothing and nobody will make me change my mind. It just doesn’t sound like guitar. It sounds like music
I'm having a hard day today and listening to this soothe my heart a little bit. Thank you Ichika.
Ichika reminding us all there are levels to this guitar game...
Always make the Perfect tone up the fingerboard your guitars.. amazing 👍👍
This is very peaceful. Opposite of what the title means in Filipino.
One of the first players in a long time to make his music truly sound like the Art it is 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I like the broken lines in the music nicely complementary to the broken environment. The end of every frase seems to be AWAY
Как же это чёрт возьми ПРЕКРАСНО
0:24 I love this altered version of Arpeggio! ❤
It will be obvious if this video gets a lot of views.
Such a humble person is becoming a fullblown legend and still doesn't know it!
I already know this song is gonna be insane like everything this guy plays
Edit: I was right
I dont know if people of Bach's or Mocart's era realized, that they were witnessing geniuses, but now we do.
I can play this on a loop all day.. love it!
For this one I thank youtube for show me your video on my homepage
He looks like an angle
Yeah
*Acute angle*
ffs dude... lol
このmvを見てる全ての日本人に言いたいのは、もっと日本人アピールしてコメントしてっても良いって事と、Ichika Nitoは最高って事
In my opinion its a good song when you can hear the thoughts and emotions behind it, but with ichika its not even a song anymore its just pure emotion
His playing is very unique pours his soul onto the strings. His guitar sings! Absolutely phenomenal.
Ethereal and majestic, the music is incredibly fantastic such as the ambiance too..
Your harp playing translates into the guitar in this piece. It’s magical.
I have a dream! One day we will see an Ichika Nito signature pick!
Feels: Yes. Please take me away.. I don't care..just anywhere
This is oozing with Nier Automata vibes for me. Dunno whether that's due to natural elements taking over artificial ones (similarly to what happened halfway through the video for MGK, Glaive and Ichika's "more than life") or because of our dude's platinum bob haircut, lol.
Either way, spectacular playing. It almost brings me to a parallel, ethereal reality. Bravo, Ichika!
I too, aspire to become a guitar playing druid

Masterpiece !
Masterclass !!
Thank you Ichika
🥲👏
this is what you find deep in OOT's lost woods and why no one wants to come back
The greatest guitarist to ever do it...
Beautiful song :) did anyone else recognize the phrasing from 0:24 - 0:41 from Arpeggio?
the man was a sniper on guitar world..so sharp so smooth.
I swear that any song sounds beautiful using this tone.
A whole song with only him playing the guitar. Nothing more. Thats impressive!
His music always gives me a sense of serenity... In my heart, he is the best guitarist fr
😳Oh ichika nito you're Guitar warrior 💘
This is absolutely incredible, Ichika. It's been amazing to witness how far you've come.
Love the Bb half dim chord at 0:39
I want to one day play like this man, his playing style is my favorite.
When Ichika strums, flower blooms
I remember when Stanley Jordan did this in the 80’s. Glad to see some young people rediscovering this technique.
I couldn't tell if this was a boy or girl. So ethereal ❣️
The GOAT, our saviour, the literal guitar hero: ICHIKA
He's a real artist in every way
Giving me major Final Fantasy vibes! Incredible how you make that guitar sing.
The strums sound like a pick but he's clearly using fingers, so accurate. Beautiful!
