My god... Ishii was more of a genius than I thought. I never knew he used that sample from Pinocchio until now.
His use of samples are incredible throughout the whole soundtrack. Really compliments his style of composition no matter what genre/style he's going for, where usually sampled material would either stick out like a sore thumb or get completely lost in the mix. Survival on The Street of Insincerity with that saxophone solo sample (unfortunately yet to be found and forgotten by Ishii himself) for a really good example of what I mean.
This just goes to show that a video doesn't need to have fancy editing to blow my mind. I listened to this album countless times, and learned how to drum by playing this album ripped from a cassette. I definitely had no idea how many samples there were but I love that I picked up on that skill from him too without even realizing it.
Damn mate... MOST UNDERRATED VIDEO ON THIS FUCKING PLATFORM
this is sick man, this is weirdly just what I was looking for, always been a fan of Yasushii ishi and curiou sas to how he made his music. If you've got a good ear and theory knowledge I would love to hear more about the theory behind some tracks, a dissection sorta deal, Secret Karma sereneda and gypsy atonement are some of my favorites. Good shit man
Glad you enjoyed the video! Maybe I'll go into the theory/influences behind some of the tracks some time. I definitely notice Hendrix in a few spots, like Certain Lotus Victory Tune and Soul Police Chapter's Reverse Side Circumstance, but there's also some jazz inspiration in tracks that I should look into as well sometime.
@@guru5862 It's a pretty interesting OST, some of the songs are straight up experimental. Keep up the good work tho man, you've earned a subscriber.
The NY Cutz Secret Karma Serenade riff always messes with me because for some reason I never expected it to be sampled. It's perfect though and Ishii uses it amazingly
I was under the impression for the longest time that it came from a keyboard, like the JV-2080 or the E-Synth Ultra. Same with the NY Cutz Midnight Assassin sample. The craziest ones to me are still the World's Last Sagacious period, which I thought was sampled from a film soundtrack + synths, and not entirely some DnB album and an experimental electronic album.
@@guru5862 I can't find sample from The NY Cutz 64 for the Secret Karma Serenade. Is it on youtube?
@@barmacuts5865 If you look around the internet you can find a download for NY Cutz Volume 1 somewhere. I don't remember where I got it from, but it took some heavy digging to find lol. Email me, maybe? For now, I've uploaded the appropriate NY Cutz tracks in their entirety for Secret Karma Seranade, Midnight Assassin, and The World Without Logos (Malcom X Remix). ua-cam.com/video/oSa2Uguijgo/v-deo.html
You also unintentionally helped me make a new finding! While I was looking through the NY Cutz tracks, I found a sample from Track 3 used in an unreleased track which can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/3U-V6kgpP2g/v-deo.html
I'll upload a video on it shortly.
El vídeo que nadie pidió, pero todos necesitábamos.
7:35 I really needed this
Great to see some fellow enjoyers of Yasushi Ishii's unbridled talent, and a very informative video. Thanks!
I literally cannot die peacefully until I find the source of that face-melting slap bass section from Echoing Truth.
I'm not sure if the slap bass part is actually sampled. Yasushi Ishii is a bassist, and it's totally possible that he recorded that sick bass part.
Most of the other parts of the section definitely sound sampled, though.
@@guru5862 Damn if that's the case he's a bass god.
@@Vaxellon his basslines are amazing (see Soul Rescuer and The World's Last Sagacious Period), though it's still possible that the bassline in that part was sampled, considering how crazy high energy it is even for the Hellsing soundtrack.
Oh my god this is so helpful!! And super interesting. You can tell his music has so many little samples in it but I absolutely love knowing where they’ve come from. Just adds that extra bit of fun into his work. Thank you so so much for this video!!!
I…am…disappointed you didn’t point out the Gamera and Godzilla roars in the Hidden Leaves ost. Stood out to me immediately first time listening.
I knew of that sample, but at that point I think I just got really lazy. Also because I have no idea which exact Godzilla film/recording it came from. It could be from a sample CD for all we know.
Woah...
...
Hearing and then dreadfully recognizing the opening jingle of Pinocchio to The World without Logos made me have a religious Awakening...
Like a pure chilling spine-shake that makes me question, "Why didn't I hear it before...?"
Like HOLY COW! That was nuts to hear! And it was my favorite part of the Pinocchio opening I like the most when I start up the movie. Those little whistle bells and river waves of violins. Bring me back to a comfortable place...
How did I never notice that...?
And also on another note, after listening to this video, I think I might really like listening to the actually soundtrack of the show. Your video has persuaded me to do so, Thank you.
I think if I'm hearing it right, at 7:06, I think I can hear a small sampling of "It's all too much" by the Beatles from that song "Rain Rain" just as the song ends and goes to the next.
I can remember that line quite clearly, "To your mum..."
thank you algorithm for bringing this to me
should be added to the hellsing wiki
Yes, this information is really interesting.
You may have missed one that I remember finding when I was younger. In Certain Victory Lotus Sutra Tone; there is a sample from Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze” at the 2:36 mark. Great video nonetheless! I didn’t know of the others sans “We’ve only just begun”!
Not a direct sample of Purple Haze, but yeah, I 100% hear it. There's also some more Hendrix influence on Soul Police Chapter's Reverse Side Circumstance, after it slows down from the groovy bit.
Right! Thanks, my bad for misuse of the term!
@@OrochiMagaki All good my guy :)
Awesome video for such a niche topic that i love!
I dont know why but i find this video utterly facinating
it’s so funny to find that the original song (la leçon particuliére) at 7:36 is a tiktok audio trend now lmao
Holy moly this blows my mind about this this wonderful wonderful OST
It'll be fun to find more samples in the soundtrack as time goes on!
For example on off the top of my head is Origin Reflection Rhythm Nation which samples the beat from Brundi Black. It's not a direct sample, but a recreation of the percussion. Other two that come to mind with samples are musical entertainment and musical uneasiness. Both contain some sort of film score sample towards the end of each track but I'm not sure what.
Lastly I think a video talking about all the references to classical music in the soundtrack would be fun. Chopin is reference in at least two tracks and it would be cool to know the others!
Huh, I had no idea about the Origin Reflection Rhythm Nation sample! I completely forgot about Musical Uneasiness, though I doubt it'll be easy to find.
And for Musical Entertainment, I believe it's a recording by Leopold Stokowski of a classical song that I couldn't find. BUT, I did just find a sample in Secret Karma Serenade... sorta.

ua-cam.com/video/pvMfCT4IcLA/v-deo.html
It's not the same sample, but it's some kind of interpolation of I. Allegro composed by Antonio Vivaldi (in this case conducted by Leopold Stokowski). It could also be from another suite conducted by Leopold Stokowski, which would match up with the other findings with Stokowski.
@@guru5862 There's much yet to discover. I'm very interested to find what other samples/references are hidden in the soundtrack
By the way, the riff in the song when you start the war fight with arrows spears and swords is similar to black sabbath - nib. And the alternative version of the song resembles David Bowie - Rebel Rebel.
I think that track is more Beatles influenced, actually. It reminds me of Get Back in particular (different key but same kind of Blues chord progression), but also has other Beatles staples like the key change in the chorus, the vocals in the chorus (especially the high part), and the feel in the alternate version of the song.
Amazing that he sampled from Osvaldo Pugliese no wonder Valentine Tango it sounded so familiar. Great job, greeting from Argentina.
This video just made my day, amazing stuff here
HOW DID I ONLY LEARN THIS EXISTED RIGHT NOW OMG, i've been wondering about these samples a lot lately thank you so much
I've been looking for a video like this for so long, thank you.
Say what you will about Hellsing TV I love its soundtrack and will watch it purely for the scenes with it. The part where Alucard goes off about his muder boner fighting Luke is great with the music build
Good job in this video, this information is really interesting.
This was epic, I love "The world's last sagacious period" I thought it was Goldie sampled but didn't know the other track, amazing video!
Great video!
When I heard Augustin Barrios's La Catedral on the radio and recognized the sample from Yasushi Ishii's Bodhisattva Cathedral, I was so happy I'd finally found it! I'm a Barrios fan now.
Hi
thank you so much for this
12:03 MI PAÍS MI PAÍS 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Algorithm needs to push this video more. Illegally low amount of views!
Love this video so much! Love a video like this! Wish there were more like this... WONDERFUL!
ah yes, OST lore.
There is a sample of Tarzan and Godzilla around somewhere too. I forget what song. But those are movie samples not songs. Super cool video. I watched it like 3 times and showed a friend :D
Hidden leaves harmony has Godzilla samples in it towards the end so that's probably the track you're thinking of
@@Somewhatbulletproof Yeah, I remember thinking if I should've included it or not, but honestly I think I just got lazy at that point (partially because I don't know specifically where it was sampled from, whether that's from a CD or one of the actual films themselves).
Years pass, and I will never find the complete lyrics to Soul Rescuer - from the album Ruins... Someone help me, I beg you.
Good work
Thank you very much for this!
Its aswesome work! Thank you!
Thank you for making this vid
This is a fantastic video.
Good job thanks for video
Sky of god master has some parts of choppin - nocturne op.9 no.2
I posted some other sample findings I made, but forgot to include it here. Check them out: ua-cam.com/video/RpAbLoT8vq8/v-deo.html
This is like if the rocking blues Melodies of the white stripes and led zeppelin with the production of early Kanye west with a second half composed of etherial tracks aphex twin & my bloody valentine would make wtf is nobody taking about this? This is the greatest OST ever written
Secret Karma Serenade is probably based off Hotel California by The Eagles as well
Most of the song is made up of samples, so I honestly doubt it. I hear a little bit of resemblance in the NY Cutz sample, though.
@@guru5862 Your explanation of the sample possibly being based off it makes more sense. That should have been more obvious to me, im so dumb
A question, does the "NY Cutz"-tracks have names or anything like that? Most of Zero-G's samples has some sort of name or designator.
Ah, I was about to ask if you suggested these to WhoSampled! Looking at it now, they seems to have accepted several at least
I'm pretty sure some of us have been torturing ourselves for TWENTY YEARS trying to figure out what some of this was from.
God bless for putting all to pixels and audio.
EDIT: However, this still doesn't answer one question that has ALWAYS burned in my mind: has any source been found for the "SHONTAG" and related chant that is paired with the L'Arlésienne segment in Sea of Chaos? I've always thought it has to be something, but is that actually an original sample?
what song played 00:00?
What's the name of the Opening/Closing background track you have used? It sounds like one of the OSTs instrumentals but can't quite put my finger on it.

Yasushi ishi is still playing concerts ?
I got no idea to be honest
Yes, but mostly he works as a session musician or bassist
@@deerkyoung Does he annouce them
publicly?
@@mymomtoldmeimspecial His website seems to have information about concerts. By the way, in 2015 he had a concert in Lithuania where he played soundtracks from Hellsing
@@deerkyoung His site is very hard to navigate plus its in japanese, do you think hes gonna have more concerts in europe ?
Reminds me of when Yamamoto (Dragon Ball composter) plagiarized everything.
Welcome to the music industry, where ever since the dawn of technology samples took over. And it's not plagiarism if its musically rearranged. Which is why cover artists get away with it legally, not because that's what they call themselves.
@@MrKilzoRising Then why did Yamamoto get blacklisted and fired, with TOEI releasing a press release saying he had plagiarized?
@@iknoweverything4959 I don't know anything about that, nor am I interested.
@@MrKilzoRising Btw your content is awful. I saw your live stream, I had to close the tab because of how bad it was.
@I Know Everything The biggest difference is that I'm the case of the hellsing soundtrack these are samples, small pieces of music that have been taken, rearranged and placed in a new context to create a new piece of music. Not to mention, some of the samples in the hellsing soundtrack are from sample CDs, who's entire point in existing is to be sampled. In the case of DragonBall composer entire compositions were taken and reused with little no changes outside of the arrangement. This leans more towards plagiarism. Reusing musical phrases and recordings in itself is not a bad thing, how you go about it and your intentions play a big part. It's a complex topic that can't quite be explained just inside a UA-cam comment.
And this is why Ultimate will never get close to the original show.
Plus the inferior quality of Ultimate as a whole. The unfocused mess of a story, the constant retcons (the Hellsing org is super capable but gets slaughtered after two EPs) and plotholes (guns just don't do shit after the second episode or so), the lack of good characters (Seras character and her grounded angle on everything are way better in the original) and the ridiculous power creep. The random convoluted asspullery in the last episodes. Also the animation that really didn't held up. It's just flashy filters over mostly static slideshow animation (Luke Valentine slices up Hellsing soldiers off screen while a light flashes looks like a straight up parody of lazy anime animtion cliche's f.e.). The lack of continuity and use of space in animation (people move off screen constantly). The original has a lot more charme and is entirely superior.
