It may be difficult to hear me in some parts, so please turn on CC for subtitles!

I love how each region in Genshin is immediately noticeable in the OST. You could close your eyes and know where you are just by the music. It's so well composed.

I love how you picked up that the start of the second piece “sounds like a rainstorm”. I never actually saw it like that despite hearing this soundtrack possibly hundreds of times by now, but now I can definitely hear that, and it feels so obvious and intentional in hindsight. Thank you for the new perspective!

omg i love your genshin reactions. i hope your next one is the full Shanghai concert they did last year. it's on the official channel!!

Such a cool reaction, and honestly, same lol. Inazuma is my favorite region in genshin (despite writiing/pacing issues it has), and the music is a huge factor on why! I think people explained already how each region is inspired by real locations and cultures, and each region has their own main element and an overal theme - Fontaine, the first you reacted to, is Water element and "justice" themed; Sumeru is flora/plants and "Wisdom". Inazuma's element is electricity/lightning and its themed after the concept of "Eternity". And it's so interesting and cool how they manage to showcase these themes into every region's themes! The taiko drums are everywhere in battle themes, because they represent the thunder and lightning in the land, and the conflicts that are happening in the region, when we get there. The music in incredible as it is without context, but the more you go into the game's lore and understanding the decisions and choices made by the composers, the more impressive it gets!

At this point you may as well watch the entire Genshin shanghai 2023 concert. It was absolutely fantastic.

I love Inazuma music and Region in general, you should react to *"Duel in the Mist"* that pure japanese instrumentation, no western sound anywhere! Freaking Beautiful! ❤️

It seems you're going with each city. Pls dont forget the dragonspine 👏

I'm so in love with your genshin reactions, such a joy to watch these performances with someone who shares that music passion. Thanks for another one, didn't expect it to be out so soon! I really, really hope you'll be able to react to their big concerts as well in some near future, especially the very first one from 2021 ("Melodies of an Endless Journey") and live Shanghai performance from 2023. There are also "Melodies of an Endless Journey" from 2022 and 2023, but I liked these other two the most, so I'm only speaking for myself here and what I, personally, would love to see :D They're over 90 minutes long though, so if that's an issue, you could try doing it in parts or something :3 Fingers crossed :D

I saw your reaction to the previous two others and immediately subscribed! I'm so happy to see more new people diving into Genshin's phenomenal music, especially someone with a background such as yours. I really enjoyed your reaction! Your awe and amazement hearing these soundscapes is contagious-- I felt as though I'm hearing them again for the first time! Inazuma's themes are definitely more somber, and I actually started tearing up at 0:55 because you mentioned it LOL 😭 I'd love to suggest > "Sumeru OST "Forest of Jnana and Vidya Preview MV" and > "Sumeru OST "Forest of Jnana and Vidya" Promotional MV" (yes they're different😂) from Genshin's official channel as well. Theya are not exactly in an orchestra setting, but they put the members in a landscape to match the vibe or inspiration of the song! I'm sure it'll be a treat for the eyes and heart as well. As an avid Genshin fan myself, I look forward to seeing more of your reactions in their other music! Welcome to their beautiful and diverse world, and I hope you enjoy it! More love and power to your channel! ✨✨

The instrumentation for this one is so magical for me

Great video. I hope you listened to Duel in the Mist too or will in the future. It's near peak of HoYo-mix ability to mix traditional and regional with classic western and modern music.

Overlord of the Thunderstorm is my favorite Genshin track, it just perfectly encapsulates everything I like about the game

I have listened to more than 20.000 music in my life from all kind of different genre and for me this is the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Definitely one of my fav OST of all time. I have probably listened to it for over 1k times in the past few years since it was first released (I bought the album) God bless everyone that is involved in the production. edit: I'm talking about Inazuma Main Theme, I love Inazuma OST in general but the main theme is easily my personal fav

You should check out Duel in the Mist. It's another Genshin battle track, done with all traditional Japanese instrument.

I love your Genshin reactions!

Loved your reaction!! There are so many more genshin osts that are just as good, its underrated tbh

Love the reaction to Inazuma, felt the same reaction when I first heard it. Fell in love with that region since it was heavily inspired in Japan. Love the combinations of the beautiful instruments as well 💜

It amazes me how beautiful they play their instruments. Please, you must react to the Shanghai Concert. It's absolutely stunning.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FAONTAINE VERSION OF THESE VIDEOS!

"Supreme beauty" I agree.

Please continue listening to the other regional theme live concerts. If continuing in backward order, please watch the entire Liyue "Reflections of Spring" mini-concert next. It includes the "Liyue" theme as the finale: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btmmn5Oktr6ofH0.html (link jumps directly to start of the mini-concert). Direct link to regional themes: Chapter 4: "Fontaine" and "Rondeau des fleurs et des rapieres" (Done): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8Bpd8RznN62iqc.html Chapter 3: "Sumeru" and "Swirls of Shamshir" (Done): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNiAZs-AmMerdJs.html Chapter 2: "Inazuma" and "Overloard of the Thunderstorm" (Your current reaction): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5qSo9d61MCqdHk.html Chapter 1: "Liyue"*: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btmmn5Oktr6ofH0.html Prelude: "Mondstadt"*: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6-RoJur0ZrFlmw.html * = part of longer concerts. The "Mondstadt" track is only played as part of the 2011 concert "Melodies of an Endless Journey"

love this

Inazuma's music are incredible! Great video! 😃👍

I love your reactions to Genshin OST

thanks for the reaction! you should listen to genshin's duel in the mist!

Hii.... your way of reacting (waiting till the end to proper say your opinion) is amazing! Pls, keep doing that.

6:00 As much as I love the keyboards, just hearing such stunning xylophone and marimba hurts me, when I think my marimba playing days are so long past. I'll likely take my last breath one day wishing I had played again. This music was beyond description.

hope you will watch behind the scene of genshin music production too

Strictly speaking, the traditional Japanese drum should be called Wadaiko (和太鼓). Taiko in Japan as a general name for the "drum". That is to say, any drum in the world can be called taiko, like Western Taiko (西洋太鼓), Korea taiko, Chinese taiko and so on.

Hey there, Michelle, just a heads up about a fantastic KZfaq channel that reviews beautiful orchestral pieces of Genshin Impact. There's a chance you might pick up a humming sound in the background during the recordings. It definitely shouldn't take away from the amazing music you're reviewing, but I just give you a friendly reminder. Keep up the amazing review videos of Genshin Impact OST's & experience power & surprises of them. Thanks. :)

What the devil is an orchestra founder? Are orchestras like companies?
