POV: you are backdashing your way through the entrance of Dracula's Castle and cutting down zombies and bats all while jamming out to this absoutely beautiful soundtrack.
Mrs Yamane, you’ll never fathom the happiness and joy that your music has spread over two generations of my family. “Thank you” is not enough. Your art is the fabric of our joy. Please, keep creating such masterpieces!
Filled with nostalgia every time I hear this song, so much heart & determination behind Draculas Castle. Every song in SotN, honestly. Excellent as usual 🥲
I remember the first time I heard it in 1997 in the game SOTN. My first reaction was "wow, this is so f... good!!". Thank you for creating not only this, but several incredible themes.
Absolutely one of the most characteristic songs of yours. The themes are so lyrical, I believe that human voice is great inspiration for your compositions. I really love the harmonies in this song. This was also used in lament of innocence as a bonus track, i mean the "Castlevania Reincarnation", differently orchestrated and i think that this rendition is my favourite. So much colour! I'm really glad that you make these piano videos, i can enjoy these songs also through an another perspective!
With so much final fantasy Piano albums, Castlevania never had one. This makes me want a full piano album of castlevania music. Thank you so much Michiru
Good day, Yamane-san! I've only discovered SotN a couple of years ago, so I didn't have any nostalgia related to it, unlike most players. I entered the castle, killed a couple of wolves, and then lights turned on, and this beautiful composition has started playing. I'll never forget how your brilliant music made me feel at that moment. It was a wonderful start for something great, and indeed - there was more, and more! No matter where I was in the game, your music kept bringing to life all those mystic, intriguing images on the screen. Years later, I'm now familiar with much more of your work, and I think you're one of the greatest composers out there. Thanks for sharing your talent with us! Cheers from Ukraine.
Even before I started playing "Symphony Of The Night", "Dracula's Castle" has been one of my favorite video game soundtracks ever! Ms. Yamane, thank you for the dedication and talent on creating such wonderful and markable soundtracks over these years!
Best wishes from VietNam. The first time that I had played Casttlevania ( I ) in 1993. Very very impresisve. After that , I find to play all Casttlevania series. Almost done completly, except Curse Of Darkness. These music are wonderful , especially Symphon Of The Night and Bloodlines. These just are my beautiful memories. And I hope , someday , you travel to SaiGon. Waiting for a great concert. Thank you very much. ❤
Thank you Yamane Sama for this great improvisation of the Dracula's Castle... I still remembered that day I tried Castlevania SOTN for the first time 20+ years ago... After the kicking Richter prologue, I was curious about this 2D action RPG game on Playstation. Then I entered that castle and when the lights turned on: Oh my goodness it was amazing. And that entrance music: the drums, the bassline, the synths... Everything sounds good. I have entered in a new era of video games music thanks to you! Thank you again Yamane Sama!
That looks like a glenn gould chair heh. Happy i just now found that Michiru-shi has a channel. Amazing woman in her style and honoring Bach and classical structures in Vg music.
Toda la banda sonora de Dracula X es maravillosa, pero ese momento al entrar al castillo, con las ventanas abriéndose con el viento, la tormenta relampagueando y esta melodía se han quedado en lo más profundo de mi corazón, como un recuerdo imborrable de mi adolescencia durante aquellos años. Hoy tengo ya casi 40 y vuelvo siempre a revisitar tu obra. Verte en persona tocarla cierra un círculo para mi. Me era un misterio su compositor. ¡Gracias por tanto y perdón por tan poco! Saludos desde Argentina.
Yamane san, I always wonder what inspires you when you were composing these classic masterpieces of Castlevania. Thank you for creating a precious memory for an entire generation and meanwhile, a lasting legacy for next ones.
Que hermoso escuchar de nuevo esta melodia me hace volver a mi infancia explorando por primera vez el castillo de Dracula, Yamane-san gracias por entregarnos estas hermosas melodias, espero que pronto suba algo de Castlevania Bloodlines y Order of Ecclesia ya que en estos juego sin duda nos entrego melodias tan unicas.
It doesn't matter how many years it has been, I enjoy this theme as the first day playing Castlevania SotN in the PlayStation. Thank you for your amazing work Yamane-sama.
I will never forget the first time that I played that masterpiece, the first time that entered into the castle, the lights turned on and started to play this wonderful theme. The first music I listened from you miss Yamane, I will never forget it.
¿Me pregunto cuántas horas habré pasado matando zombis y lobos en la entrada del castillo solo oyendo la música? No me arrepiento de haber pasado un solo segundo en eso jejejeje, gracias por hacer tan disfrutable esa experiencia
Many people thinks this thought about this track: this one starts some seconds after entering the castle, and when everything seems to be obscure and terrific, this song gives the courage and determination to go ahead and to confront the evil inside this huge monster called "Dracula's Castle". Once again thanks for your art, Sensei!
Oh wow! I always loved the MiDi power pro 7 version with the weird backbeat. But that had soul. Thank you, Michiru! It's like Christmas hearing some of my favorite music performed this way.@_@
Michiru-san Thank you for composing this amazing videogame series. Your contemporaries in the videogame music composition all have one thing in common. The music fits the game. Dragon Quest would not be Dragon quest without its beautiful compositions ect. Just like John Williams Superman theme fits Superman. I hope this makes sense. Without you there would be no Castlevania. It just wouldn't fit without this legendary music. I love the whole series and listen to it very often. I think one of my favorite themes is Empty Tome from Order of Ecclesia. I would love to hear you play it on Piano. Arigatou gozaimasu
Thank you for your wonderful message. I'm very honored and encouraged. "Empty Tome" from Order of Ecclesia was played in a previous video. I hope you continue to enjoy my channel.
There is nothing better for my heart than listening to my favorite song by my favorite composer, yes and I say it is forever, I love you my Michiru I hope one day I can talk, hug you : 😁🥰
I am very honored and thank you very much for your kind message. A live streaming concert will be held on September 23rd. Birthday Concert Ticket & Details michiru-60th-birthday-concert.peatix.com/view
I love your work! Your music mark an entire generation on every game you worked on. My personal favourite is Empty Tome from CV Order of Eccelsia, I hope one day you can play it :) Greetings from Argentina
¡Cielos divinos! Me hace tan feliz haber nacido en la epoca perfecta para escuchar esta canción e interpretada por la compositora, me recorre una indescriptible emoción por el cuerpo. Increíblemente hermosa esta canción
