Ms. Yamane, you're a living legend. I grew up with your Castlevania music and I still have all the games since GB and Super Famicom ones, including PlayStation, N64, GBA, PS2... This theme is one of my favourites. Thank you for letting us enjoy your art, it's an honour.
I'm from Brazil and I'm a huge Castlevania fan since I was a kid, I love your work so much Mrs. Yamane, thanks for making all those years of my life better with your music, I will always appreciate, love and admire your work!!^^
When angels come down to Earth and play their godly melodies…that’s the experience we get everytime we see any of your videos. Many thanks for your incredible compositions Mrs Yamane. You are a treasure to music history and humanity.
I forgot I commented on this so long ago. I was sad to see most of the new Akomanjou no Dracula not use your music in the new season with Ritcher. This was sooo good.
I should have discovered this godly video before. Sinking Old Sanctuary is my favorite song in Vampire Killer (Castlevania: Bloodlines), and one of my most favorite songs in the whole franchise. Hearing it in all its glory is utterly beautiful. Any thanks wouldn't be enough!
I love this version. I also love the original (Bloodlines), the Advanced (Circle of the Moon), and the 64 version (Legacy of Darkness). Thank you for sharing this with us.
I was recently playing Circle of the Moon, and I decided to look up piano versions of the music on RU-vid. I came across your channel, and thought to myself that your versions were leagues better than the others available on RU-vid. I then found out that you are the original composer of so many of these absolutely beautiful songs. I hum or whistle your music all of the time while out for a walk or at work etc, so thank you for bringing so much joy over the years.
Hi! I remember the first time I heard this amazing composition in Castlevania Bloodlines and I was amazed. It is an honor to watch you, legendary composer, play your compositions. Your music inspired me to play piano. Thank you for all of your music! With the greatest respect and with warm greetings from Finland.
Goosebumps all over. This is the song that made me fall in love with your music. I hadn't listened to you playing it yet. It's one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.
This is one of my favorite songs of all the Castlevanias. It sounds so ambient with the FM sound of the Megadrive and matches the level scenery perfectly. It brings back such happy times in my life, from my childhood and early adulthood. Ms. Yamane, thank you so much for composing this!
I finally discovered the living Legend behind sinking sanctuary! Thank you so much for making a song that always filled my heart with joy since playing Castlevania Bloodlines as a kid on my Genesis! May God continue to Bless you and your Beautiful Talents!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️
This is absolutely my favorite track in the whole Castlevania series. Thank you for your musical contribution to this amazing series and to the Bloodstained series as well.
Castlevania Bloodlines was my very first castlevania game and my first time hearing Michiru Yamane's work. And when I first heard The Sinking old Sanctuary on the genesis back in 1994 and 1996. I immediately fell in love with the music, especially that grandiose intro. And now hearing her playing it on the piano brought tears of happiness and nostalgia. It's one,If not her greatest composition of all time next to lost painting, crystal teardrops, inner quarters, iron blue intention and wandering ghosts. michiru yamane will always be my favorite video game composer of all time and she truly made a masterpiece when she did the music for Bloodlines. Amazing woman😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@MichiruYamane-eu3ph I absolutely love all your work.i know you composed Rocketknight Adventures for the Sega Megadrive. Do you remember which songs you composed in that game?
I love listening to these piano arrangements! When I first found your channel, I almost didn't believe it was you, and was excited when I realized it was. As I've listened to this song in the context of the game (an old sinking sanctuary), I thought it was somewhat regal in the opening (as though telling us the place was once grand and noble), slightly somber in the first half (as if longing for a place long gone), and mystical in the second half (making the place feel like it's now a mysterious place to explore). And yet, when listening to this version you composed, it suddenly feels recontextualized. This new section you've added feels happy, and suddenly the rest of the song feels happier. By the time we get nack to the end, I no longer feel sad for something not there, but hair for something that once was. These ramblings aside, it leads me to ask, how do you go about composing these arrangements? What process or thoughts go through your head when you're taking these old songs you wrote, and adding new parts to them? To you write with the intention of changing or emphasizing the tone of the song, or is this just how you've always heard your compositions in your head? Are you just embellishing what's already there, or are you finally breaking free of the restraints of a video game to write what you've always wanted?
I'm glad you found my channel. And thank you for your message. The middle part of the piano version is an improvisation. I practice the piano before recording a video, but I can't play exactly the same thing every time. So every time I record a video, I try to vaguely imagine how I want to play it. I just play whatever melody comes to mind at that moment.
@@MichiruYamane-eu3ph That's amazing! I've always wanted to learn to play improvisational music, but my musical education got cut short after I was pulled out of school and educated at home. I tried self-teaching, but I still wish I'd learned properly. I've always loved the improvisation of jazz, and still hope to learn to play like that. Still, I've never heard an improvisational piece such as the ones you play. They're very beautiful! Thank you for coming on here and sharing this beautiful music with us. I hope more people learn that you're here, and I hope I can one day learn to play like you!
WOW! I just discovered your channel. I instantly looked to see if you performed my favorite composition of yours! Wonderful! I just wanted to let you know this song has played endlessly in my head for over 20 years. Its amazing what the power of music can do and how it connects us. Thank you so much!
Cómo hacer usted para componer un ambiente tan precioso? The sinking old sanctuary es una pieza bellísima con un título poderoso donde la música te lleva a imaginar ese bello lugar.
First i hearded in „Castlevania - Legacy of Darkness“ and i was flashed.. and fall in Love! My absolutely favourite Composition for an Video Game! Thank you so much for these masterpiece! ❤
Beautiful! Looking at the current subscriber count I'm very surprised that "4.87K" isn't much closer to "4.87M" already. Your creations have touched so many hearts, including mine, and if one summed all the plays from the uploads and recreations of your work here and on other platforms - and from people who've played the games - it would be so many millions of listens! Thank you! Subscribed!
Srta Yamane, escuchar sus obras interpretadas personalmente me es una grata y encantadora sorpresa! Amo todo lo que conozco de su obra, y esta en particular, es la que mantuvo viva mi propia llama del querer aprender a tocar el piano! No sólo me remite a sensaciones inolvidables, sino que me motiva a diario, ya que la práctica me es algo cotidiano. Y debo sumar, que sus obras en los videojuegos son una puerta a los compositores clásicos, a la cultura y el enriquecimiento del espíritu, para toda su audiencia. Me inspiran a diario, reitero. No me alcanzan las palabras. Ya me parece surreal que usted lea mi comentario. Muchas gracias, de corazón.
The first time I heard this song was in Castlevania Bloodlines, then it was on Circle of the Moon, later on the Castlevania concert, and now this great video! Listening to this version is like paradise in my ears, thank you so much for this and so many masterpieces, you made me love music even more. Arigato gozaimasu ❤.
Thank you very much for the excellent interpretation and creation of such a magnificent work. Very good work in the garden and I hope the melon seeds germinate soon and you can enjoy the sweetness of that fruit. Kind regards from Mexico...
I have loved all of your compositions since I was a young boy, Mrs. Yamane. Because of your music, I took piano lessons and studied musical theory. I hope, someday, to be even half the composer you are. I thank you for inspiring me all these many years.
Ah I wish you did the other version in Circle of the Moon, which has an additional part. People on RU-vid always play this short version, but in my opinion, the piece is not complete without the additional part... Anyway nice work.
Hearing Yamane-san play this live really breathes a whole new life into this piece for me. Loved in Bloodlines, loved it more in Judgement... and this has a much deeper feel here.
Castlevania Bloodlines - Stage 2 (Atlantis Shrine) Castlevania Legacy of Darkness (Art Tower) Castlevania Circle of the Moon (Abyss Stairway) Castlevania Lecarde Chronicles 2 (Underwater stage at Albaret Earldom) Castlevania Circle of Realm (hack of Portrait of Ruin) - Great Stairway and Nation of Fools Where else I can hear this beautiful "Sinking Old Sanctuary" music? 🤭
Loving the music so much! By the way, back when you and IGA were working on Nintendo DS Castlevania, how difficult is it on composing those music with all of the soundfont and stuff, especially when you can only use 16 tracks as well. Keep up the good work!
Essa música faz parte do meu primeiro contato com video games no castlevania bloodlines, fico muito fleiz de poder sentir a emoção dessa música que me traz muitas memórias.
Hermosa pieza de música !!! Es de Castlevania Bloodlines de sega genesis/megadrive... cierto?. Es realmente muy bueno escuchar sus obras por youtube. Saludos desde Argentina!!
I met this melody first in Circle of the Moon, I heard the Vampire Killer (Bloodlines) some time after that. I really love it. Thank you so much. By the way, which is your inspiration for this theme?
Espero que le vaya bien en su canal de RU-vid, me ayudo a relajarme sus composiciones de su canal mientras estaba terminando un trabajo de mí carrea y por último ando emocionado con escuchar sus composiciones en 9 Years of Shadows.
Dear Mexican fans, Thank you for your warm message. I am very happy and encouraged. I'm looking forward to the day when you can go to Mexico and enjoy playing directly in front of everyone. When I am relaxing and playing the piano, various melodies come to me.
@@MichiruYamane-eu3ph I wish I understood the beginning of your videos. Your music made my childhood. Hey since you composed I have another question: Daijbou? Did you ever watch the castlevania on Netflix? And do you wish they contacted you to make the music? I hope you understand! kudasai!
