I hadn't played guitar for over a decade, and then I discovered ichika nito. He has single-handedly made the instrument interesting to me again. I can't express how grateful I am to fall in love with guitar again, especially now that I'm stuck at home due to COVID-19. Thank you, ichika!
I lost my big brother to suicide last year and haven’t been able to play my guitar or piano the same way anymore, but when I listen To this I feel like you understand me, I feel like I could have composed this in my dreams. It’s because we all belong to the same family of humans and we share a common thread within music and that’s just amazing because you’ve helped me get through this rough patch and I’ve now got more styles I want to add to my own thanks to you ichi Love you brother
I know the feel. Lost my big bro to suicide too. My heart still aches 15 years after, but it becomes bearable in time. Pick up that guitar, sit in front of that piano and allow it to flow. It helps the healing process.
What people don't realize is that these are longer than the videos he posted of the riffs he used for these songs... smh. Ichika is an amazing musician. Anyone focused on the dislikes missed out. Peace.
When I listen to ice, I imagine a mountain climber getting separated from their group. They’re cold and they’re scared, but using the last bit of will and strength in their slowly freezing body they climb up to a comfortable spot to lean themselves against. They look out and their stirring mind calms, accepting what is to come. They take slow and strained breaths as they look at the glorious view of the mountains icy majesty, the barren yet beautiful peaks of snow cascading all around makes them crack a smile. And as the song fades out they draw their last breath, and their body succumbs to hypothermia. Their final moments of happiness now forever frozen like the ice they lay on.
I get why people want these songs to be longer, but at the same time, within these tracks, every single chord change is so carefully thought out, as if every single voicing has its own journey at the same time as all the others. There are so many moving parts in its melodic structure that it must take several days to settle on what sounds the best. So many musicians are worried about filling up time, but you do the very opposite, and make 60 seconds the best it can possibly be. You’re an inspiration my dude, thank you for this.
I'm 65 and when I have trouble falling asleep due to insomnia., and now for some reason I can't explain this just puts me to sleep faster than anything I've ever experienced, and it feels wonderful listening to this
Ichika Nito, if you read this, I just want to say that your music makes me feel things I never new could be felt. Orb is decidedly my favorite. Thank you for being such an amazing person
While, without a doubt, I love this ep, I kinda wish it had more songs! You have so many beautiful ones which really deserve a full version! But maybe next time c:

This guy is really taking the entire guitar music game to a whole new level. This EP is so soft and beautifully written it's like a warm hug I've needed for so long.
i have goosebumps. it's so authentically lovely that I get all giddy and find myself smiling lots. Orb feels like a 5am walk when almost noone's awake yet. Or after you've been crying a lot and someone gives you a hug/warm drink/covers/ you come in from the cold and start to feel okay again.
To my favourite guitarist , sir ichika Nito , I'll keep this comment here for my future self , in hopes of becoming as talented as you are one day. As of right now , I'm 18 senior year of high school , been playing guitar for a bit over a year and a half , own a beginner classical guitar . I am considered to be a grade 4/8 in the ABRSM . I'm the point in time where we are quarantined at home so I can't attend my guitar lesson . My teacher gave me a very difficult melody "parazula" because he knew im stubborn enough to keep going at it till i master something unattainable by my current skill level . As of now , i have almost mastered the barre chords , basic chords and am very proud to say that i got to play the melody part from your song , "i miss you" , The moment i got to play it felt like a dream . I so hope i can get an acoustic guitar soon , and then an electric one. I just want to thank u for the your beautiful music that always motivates me to improve and reach new heights , and the will to become one of the best guitarists in the world . So , future me , tell me how far your passion got you . Are u now worthy enough to call yourself ichika's rival? That's very unrealistic even 5 years into the future 😅 , but hey , I have a feeling u won't disappoint me 😊
This is beautiful. Truly beautiful. I can't believe the level you are at on guitar! You have wonderful composition! I like how it seems you build off of your ideas. You post your ideas and we can hear some of them in future songs, or you make full versions of them. I'm so glad I found your channel!
that's incredible how this music engulfs its listener, it's almost like you're part of it. you must be extremely hardworking and also very talented if you're able to make something that wonderful and emotional. 感動をありがとうございます！
I can’t play guitar anymore, due to a perpetual pain every time I start to play it. Can play piano, but it’s not the same. Now I compose electronic music and it’s likely a wonderful thing for expressing feelings. This EP has opened my memories and I revived strong and farfetched emotions that I never felt.
Your playing is so clean and the composition has so much emotion. I love this EP so much! I discovered your band Ichikoro and I am so glad I found such beautiful music ^^! Can't wait to listen to more of this! :D
I remember listening to this on the bus to and from a competition I was in during my senior year of high school. It was almost always dark, we would make our way to the site before sunrise and return to school as the sun set. Listening to this again, I remember the strange comfort of the dimly lit bus and the quiet chatter of other students while I watched the sky through the window. That competition was one of the few things I looked forward to in high school, good times :>
Man. And what is more noticeable is what he did before his 30. Imagine this guy playing when he's 40. How much he is going to improve. And , I don't speak about speed or more skills, I wonder about musicality. This is blowing my mind.
Listening to this feels like a Journey to a far away place. I cannot decide if I am travelling across some vast planes, or up a mountain and piercing the clouds, or even travelling in time to an ancient village. I wonder what sort of journey Nito imagines when he is playing

Im weirdly jealous that his kids will grow up listening to stuff like this for lullabies
my kids will grow up listening to this too
@@lonelyrobin7576 same here
Why you gotta assume he's gonna have kids
we have the ability to play it for ours now at least he shared some of it with us :)
I am grateful to be able to listen to this as a lullaby, as a child

Not a decade, but besides that pretty much the same situation here
Ill give it a month ahaha XD
I wish I knew how to start learning effectively, someone bought me a guitar for birthday and I never used it :(
If you want some more motivation you should check out polyphia, their styles are quite close
Nito Sensai pretty much. God bless his soul.
I lost my big brother to suicide last year and haven’t been able to play my guitar or piano the same way anymore, but when I listen To this I feel like you understand me, I feel like I could have composed this in my dreams.

Stay strong brother.
Hope your staying well 😔
I wish that u r better now brother
Stay strong brother, life gets us down sometimes, by Jesus's grace we pick ourselves back up and keep going. You got this bro
I know the feel. Lost my big bro to suicide too. My heart still aches 15 years after, but it becomes bearable in time. Pick up that guitar, sit in front of that piano and allow it to flow. It helps the healing process.
I've already listened to this EP like 50 times at this point on Spotify. Very gewd.
Gewd. Adjective: so good it's lewd.
Thanks for letting me know this is also on spotify. :3 heading there rn.
@@jordanclymer5008 thank you.
Casual, this is like the only thing i listen too on spotify.
Exactly the same
All the dislikes are just people who want longer content
nah, there should be more dislikes then
Nah, they are just jealous because they cant play like ichika
on the contrary, it's all the people that wanted a new 30 sec video to sample it :P
What people don't realize is that these are longer than the videos he posted of the riffs he used for these songs... smh. Ichika is an amazing musician. Anyone focused on the dislikes missed out. Peace.
It's almost always 9 tough
Atleast when i see them

Weird how amazing u make freezing to death sound
i love your comment as much as i love this song... interesting opinion
c h e e s e writing this is the most hilarious thing I read this week
Poetic...
Thanks for making me cry. Damn.

Been waiting for a full version of Ethereal for a while, and this does not disappoint.
I'm 65 and when I have trouble falling asleep due to insomnia., and now for some reason I can't explain this just puts me to sleep faster than anything I've ever experienced, and it feels wonderful listening to this
Ichika Nito, if you read this, I just want to say that your music makes me feel things I never new could be felt. Orb is decidedly my favorite.
Thank you for being such an amazing person
Ethereal feel Is purely incredible and it really can tell a story through every note and vibration, I am truly speechless!
Mm
That beautiful sound purified me.
I see Nito, I click
Gerardo Del Cid me too lol me too
Im weirdly jealous that his kids will grow up listening to stuff like this for lullabies
I think as if now,I could say the same
Anch'io
While, without a doubt, I love this ep, I kinda wish it had more songs! You have so many beautiful ones which really deserve a full version!
But maybe next time c:
_Stealth_ An EP usually has only 4 songs
Jun One
I know those c:
But since then he has more songs which would be awesome to have on Spotify and iTunes!
Andrei Comaroni
Oh... oh well..
Orb is the best, just cant get rid of the feels man
same
That art piece is amazing....
No longer will I have to use my playlist. I can just put this on loop!
How do you put a youtube video on loop?
@@ghadiaoun5534 he has a spotify
@@ghadiaoun5534 if you have a pc just right click and then click loop

Ghadi Aoun, what the others said. Just use desktop mode, right click and loop
I love your empty and sad tone. it is also felt as a requiem for something.
I don't know why I think this, but the character in the cover...I think they could really use a hug. And I really want to give them that hug.
how does he get this pure tone and play so cleanly? this is ridiculous, i love it
Because he practices at least 4 to 5 hours a day. The man is a guitar machine.
@@FringeSpectre thats not even that much :o
today I said "I want a full version of Ice so bad aaaa" and this happens, I'm so happy

u knoe normmally i dont EVEN smile
But i like music and mt baby sister
My newborn daughter goes out like a light at night when we play this for her to go to sleep. I love the music, huge fan.

Qaurintine was the Best time for nito to release an ep. Also epic ep.
my guitar doesn’t work like that
You need pedal so that it will sound like that too
I love your comment lmao xD
me either, I think I have the old model or something.
Don't worry, it's not broken.
big true
Hearing ethereal feel without the video just confirms how incredible the writing is, what a track
I love this version of ice
I got so stressed at school, but this album is like magic, whenever I listen to this, I can calm myself down, thank you...
You are out of this world. Just amazing...
I kinda feel like a dad thats proud of his kid,ı seen this guy grow his channel and expand his limits thru all these years.I'm just happy for him.
Ya no sé en que orden poner cada EP del señor Ichika... N I T O es sencillamente brutal, es increíble, al igual que este tipo. Alto artista, Ichika.

At first glance the art looks like a handsome centipede. The art and music combined together, creates a surreal experience
surreal meaning?
that freakin' artwork alongside the music is just..
perfection.
If this was Anime I'd watch it
That would be great anime
Why watch it when you can simply listen instead? 😄
agreed.
Studio Ghibili vibes
@@IamINERT agree
This is like...the best EP. I've ever heard from any artist... I'm baffled
ive needed this. weve all needed this.

Man, this is one awesome ep. All the tunes are my favourites. Your talent is truly humbling.
that's incredible how this music engulfs its listener, it's almost like you're part of it. you must be extremely hardworking and also very talented if you're able to make something that wonderful and emotional. 感動をありがとうございます！
In this world surely there is perfection, this is an example! I just need to say Thank You.
*NO NO NO NOPE.*
i have several problems with this album:
1: it ends.
that's it.
We need more
Man’s said several....then only said one
@@anoldtimer That's a number of probs in 1 tho ngl
Yeah I had that problem too. I’ll file a complaint for this
I’ve got 99 problems and they are all 1.
listening to this feels like im floating on water just looking up at the sky wondering where the water current will take me
extreme talent + extreme feeling = Ichika Nito
When I was young I thought I'd never be without my guitar. I've not touched one for over a decade now. But the passion is really coming back to me.
Ice sounds like all the ghibli themes mashed together with a sprinkle of jazzy rock and I love it
God-Tier EP
You're not from this planet man ! Because your music sounds like from the other side of The Universe . Hard to stop listening to it . Loved it
I can’t play guitar anymore, due to a perpetual pain every time I start to play it. Can play piano, but it’s not the same. Now I compose electronic music and it’s likely a wonderful thing for expressing feelings. This EP has opened my memories and I revived strong and farfetched emotions that I never felt.
i well ummmmmmmmm...... i can play acounstic no pain cuz my body strong by stitches but I play really bad, Lucky Mann :D.
Your playing is so clean and the composition has so much emotion. I love this EP so much! I discovered your band Ichikoro and I am so glad I found such beautiful music ^^! Can't wait to listen to more of this! :D
WHAT EVEN- AHHHH HE'S SO TALENTEDDD I JUST LOVE YOU MUSICCCC BAAAA
I'm a bass player but I like how you play the guitar

sounds like u know davie 504
Charles Berthoud be making bass pieces in a tapping fashion. You might dig his work
"Homsick" hit me in a way I could havr never imagined. It makes lyrics flow out of me. Magical. An experience I was missing. 😊
Love you Nito.
ew who r you
Jst kidding.

Listening to just the songs changes how I feel the music and the world of sound you've created Ichika.
Into the waves of this peace of art 🌊
yes, you heard right "peace" :)
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG THIS TO COME OUT, i just love it. Keep going!!
Is Nito from Dark Souls? Ok no. I love this, omg...

Orb is very magical, I can’t express my feelings with words for this magistral song
you know its about to go down when he names it after himself
Oh maaaaaan, ICE giving me such a sad vibe. The melody is so F great. Thanks for giving this to us, Ichika 💜
That's some NIER/Final Fantasy artwork right there, accompanied by beautiful and such fitting music for the games
Ichikas music always helps me out a slump and help me deal with my problems
Awesomeness. Without video I can pretend 3 guitarist's are playing this and feel better 😁

This guy is from another planet, he is a genius, it remembers me the guy from polyphia but i like Ichika's songs more
Tim Henson?

This has been helping me so much with stress for exams I have for high school.
Thank you Nito :)
Damn, me too, I almost forgot how calm I feel when I study

Beautiful
I have never been so early, and never been so happy to hear a beautiful song ㅠ ㅠ
I feel so horrible these days, and together with these beautifully heartbreaking melodies I can't help but cry through your songs. Beautiful!💖💖
I'm in love with "orb".
You consistently amaze me. Thank you for your hard work.
Beautiful as always, loved every bit of it! Orb gives me feels
Interviewer: So Ichika Nito what kinda of emotional response where you trying to provoke from your listeners with this EP
Ichika Nito: Yes
Yes
The segmented time bar is really cool and so helpful!
Neato
Hear Ichika's music make me inspired... This feel is amazing
I could listen to 7:29 for the next 1000 years and be happy.
I'm speechless and shedding a tear. You're a modern day genius. Thank you
Damn i didn't knew Gravelord Nito was a musician. And such a good one! Keep the good work c:
Man. And what is more noticeable is what he did before his 30.
Imagine this guy playing when he's 40. How much he is going to improve.
And , I don't speak about speed or more skills, I wonder about musicality.

I’VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS TO COME OUT OMG IM SO HAPPYYYYY THIS IS SO GOOD 😖🖤🖤🖤
Man ice was god tier. This whole ep is breath taking.
I'm pretty convinced now ichika Nito is an RPG.
That artwork is simply incredible
This guy is really skilled
Amazing
Ice be hitting
The artwork looks really nice!
Orb is my favorite piece from this EP
These tracks call me down.
(Especially when my dysfunctional family charges and lashes, specifically at me.)
i'm so sorry, i hope you can find peace inside you, even though you can't find it outside. Lots of hugs 4 u
Better times are yet to come.
Simply, eargasm.
The art reminds me to Yoshitaka Amano.
