Okay, using the bow on the vibraphone is a stroke of genius!

I can't get enough of the bass on the Secret of Mana soundtrack.

Secret of Mana had the best OST on the SNES. Thank you for giving new life to these incredible tracks.

Oh, that bowed xylophone is amazing.

Using a bow on a glockenspiel can produce such ethereal piping sounds? I never would have guessed - always imagined a glass harp as the core instrument in those parts... It is marvelous how you manage to keep both loneliness and beauty of this track alive at the same time, while keeping so close to the original.

In all seriousness, this is the most accurate and essence capturing piece from secret of mana you love done. I am beyond stoked

I really wish this channel could get some algo love. He's been plugging away for a while now with top tier quality music.

Another incredible version of a stone cold classic.

I hope someday Kikuta-San hears your versions of these songs. Your inventive faithfulness is always so impressive to me.

You deserve 10 000 times more views, this is a masterpiece. The Secret of Mana remake should have had your music in. Also should have been made good (the game).

Never seen a glockenspiel (or whatever it is exactly) played with a bow. Really good cover!

One of my favorite from the game! So nostalgic!

It's in these moments that I'm proud to be one of your patreons!

This... Is beautiful. There are no other words to describe it. This is true mastery of the art of music

Probably the most underrated game music channel on KZfaq. The effort and polish and faithfulness to the original while elevating it is simply unparalleled. Thank you.

I haven't seen many renditions of that piece, which is a bummer, since it's one of my favorites from SoM. Well done!

WHAT!? you can bow a glockenspiel!? I never thought of that.

awesome. love this song. and love your rendition. your renditions sound more faithful to the originals than any other musician's.

Feel like you could do no wrong. So much time and effort guaranteed to be invested into making each song into a masterpiece. Keeps me clicking the new ones right away. The string on the bars to make that etheral flute sound was genius.

We're approaching 3 decades, and you are absolutely right to be doing covers from these games. I know we're getting further away from when they were popular, but they were so good. In a parallel universe, me and you are friends. It blows my mind 🤯. But we didn't have internet back then... you were wherever you were on this rock... we just never crossed paths. For years I've had a 3 way tie between secret of mana, chrono trigger and ff6 as best RPGs (yeah we're getting old). I've had the feeling to take apart some of the music and play it myself, but I only do piano... and i definitely wouldn't have dissected them like you do. The music just takes you back to times you were more carefree. I've been subscribed long enough to think a game's worth trying if you and your allies do a cover of some of its music (cause I see music on your channel from games I missed in snes' initial run). Now we have emulators. I try to go back and revisit some of these games, but the older I get, the more things I want to learn... and then we're all getting closer to the grave. I get bummed out thinking there's not enough time to do everything we want. I'm not quite drafting a bucket list yet... but just have to appreciate every day you get and all the days you have left in the game.

The instruments and setups you come up with never cease to amaze. This song never ceases to amaze when done well, like it is here. It's so very icy and appropriate for where it's used in the game...I may not revere Kikuta as high as Uematsu or Shimomura, but dang he sure made a couple amazing mana soundtracks.

What an amazing rendition of this beautiful song! 😍

It's been too long since the last Secret of Mana song. This was great, thanks. Also the G502 is a good mouse.

Glad to see you keep giving love to one of the most underrated soundtracks of all time. I just don't see many people covering the whole soundtrack like you do.

Great job!!!

Nicely done! Especially enjoyed the bass guitar tone you've got here.

Hauntingly beautiful rendition of a great song - thanks for bringing it to us!

Absolutely one of my favorites from SoM. Excellent job, as usual.

This song is so under rated great rendition here!

One of my favorite tracks from the game, and you remixed it beautifully. Thank you for this.

Another masterpiece. Amazing work Andrew!

Keep it up man, I've seen you quintuple your sub count since I joined. You provide a great service by doing these remasters, thank you for all your work. I hope you will continue to keep faith in yourself, even during the lowest of times.

Very creative bowing the glockenspiel!

brilliant.. how have I never even thought what happens when you bow a metallophone before..

Very cool! Great instrumentation, and really cool use of bowed percussion.

Best track of mana. Mysterious and melancholic.

OMFG what a sick technique using a bow on a glockenspiel

How cool! I always love this song and never thought to bow a glockenspiel for it! Great work, as always! =)

I promise, whatever higher wavelength the greatest composers operate on, you're there as well.

nunca habia visto que tocaran una lira con arco. este es mi canal favorito de musica.....

Another masterpiece

Beautifully done

One of my favorite track from this game, absolutely brillant.

o7 reporting for listening

One of my favorite video game songs. This is so well done. Thanks!

Man I love this track

I think I need to give this ost a listen..

Oh my goodness! This is such an iconic song I thought you'd covered it already! This arrangement is incredible, man! You did it justice and then some!

Oh, wow. This is great.

Loving the Secret of Mana covers so much (I mean look at my screen name...). It's such an underrated gem of a game.

Este video merece muchísimas más vistas. Simplemente majestuoso.

Amazing. Thank you!

I had no idea one could play a Xylphone like this Such a nice cover, one of my favorites :)

My God it's so perfect.. Usually reorchestrations are not as good as original because it's almost impossible to reproduce the feeling of those old 16bit sounds. You guys do it like it's a natural thing. It's... Incredible.

Beautiful

how is this channel flying under the radar? such great tunes, so masterfully played.

My favorite in the soundtrack.

Amazing Cover from one of the greatest snes games. It was always one of my favourite games and this song had one of the coolest basslines in a game ever. Mindblowing to watch this video now. Thank you so much !

How does this channel only have 18k subs? This is incredible content

Ah Dang, thats beautiful!

So nice the ramp-up and energy starting from 0:50 honestly, Hollywood productions could learn a thing or two from game music. Well done.

I have yet to play the game, so I didn't know this tune. You've got a big love for music and that shines through. Love it

Thank you so much for this. You just brought some sunshine to my day. :)

Please do Shadow's theme from Final Fantasy 6, or Cyan's theme! Both are my favorites from the series, and there are so many great musical elements from the SNES games!

Yes, the imo best piece from SoM!

Your musicianship is always brilliant. Well done!

Your channel is so cool, I appreciate it a lot

That’s really good

You did such an amazing job on this! So awesome.

Beautiful...

It's very difficult to find people who actually use real instruments to create a song by himself. Usually, you'd use some sort of program.

This is just awesome man. Definitely a fan of your work bringing these compositions to life

Yes! You finally did it!

Hey, you probably won't see this, but have you consider putting your songs on spotify? I would listen to them all the time!!!

Stunning 🤩

WOW.....

Gorgeous

Another wonderful upload! ^_^ I think this is my favourite song in that game.

Incredible

Woooow that into! Nice choice holy shi... I've loved the soundtrack since owning the game in 7th grade, this is up there on fav tracks... Id have never thought to use any bowed metals like that. Bravo.

Great performance as usual!

I was hoping you guys would do this one!!

Amazing playing! I don't know who mixes the sound, but it is 10/10 on my listen to my 2k hifi rig! Really impressed by the bass lines. I think the only thing that can benefit the sound... is using a fretless electric bass (only a nuanced advantage, most likely) - I promise to contribute to your patreon so you can add fretless bass to your arsenal. Highest regards and much love, truly!!

Think I've found the video game, song cover, missing from my life.

i love this game. your covers are pretty much how i remembered them to sound - but im pretty sure they did not sound like this :D

Congratulations. Your playing the xylophone (is it called a xylophone?) with a bow gave me a head ache and made my wife almost lose her center of gravity on top. Im not complaining, just wanting to point out that the sound created is VERY sharp to sensible ears. Songs great tho.

Immediately impressed upon listening/watching! Nailed it!

Love your Content! Thank You G

a fantastic fro the composer were very kind , great work man!

Love this song!

Bravo !

Excellent. 💚

You are a Genius

Wow, this is amazing 😮 thank you, I love it ❤

Dude love your channel just found it you're amazing incredible

Wow. Really beautiful cover! Love it! ❤

AMAZING Do more SoM!!! Wow this is good. Do you think it's possible to do "A Wish" from SoM? Or is that too synth-heavy?

What i wouldn't give to see you guyz do the conan the barbarian soundtrack
