How to Make an Anime Opening Song 

Just in time

Let's goooo

yeeeeeeeeeeeees

hi. im trying to produce music on bandlab and im having trouble on what guitar settings or type I have to use to make it sound like yours. could you please tell me what were your amp settings? its been five days and all my attempts were empty handed.

That's how you create a hit song or memorable music. If you can figure out how to make it original yet familiar then you've solved a big problem many musicians struggle with

Sounds like a song straight out of SAO and I like it

Reminds me of God Knows from Haruhi Suzumiya

It reminds me heavily of one of the later outro songs in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood!

@@AlexThorpe Ye! The first phrase of the chorus is in the same key and almost identical to OP 5 (Rain), minus some embellishments. The hooks of each chorus are exactly the same rhythmically and melodically (that 3 note line), and the notes and structure *almost* identical for the rest of the phrase too (this version repeats the hook 2 times, then plays this descending line in straight quarters, Rain has a small ascending line instead of repeating, but plays the same descending line, but with some 8ths and 16ths to vary the rhythm up). I assume it was a bit of an earworm when this video was being made given how close they are :P.

Isn't it?

Lol some of the melodies are actually straight from persona 5

@@briandorough498 you mean to tell me the jazz, funk and rock inspired game soundtrack has typical jazz chord progressions and melody structure??

@@ThePandaAgenda no

It's the base from an opening of FMAB

Omg i just realized it

omg this chord progression is sooooooo much used in japanese music. similar to the west we used i v vi iv waaaay too much lol

Or you can Rickroll people with that progression.

@@clmoon2151 It isn't the same chord progression but similiar.

Resolve it with ii - V - I cadence - it goes 10 times as better

how can you have a progression without the tonic, does tonicisation rely on the melody instead?

Can confirm Source: I'm a bassist and I had to play Kiss In The Dark and Daybreak by Exist trance. If you know, you know. Those songs basslines are WILD

*paid

@@MayonnaiseOreo yeah im an idiot

🤓umm actually it's just the same body type

@@BatatonDoCon isn't it the same color too

The guitar has a Les Paul body or it may be an actual Gibson LP

​@@doggyinthewindow oh yeah i noticed it now srry

@@BatatonDoCon what's the color of this one, and what's the color of yui's?

You say that now but when you’ve heard it a million times you’ll feel the same about it the way we feel about our chord progression

@@Radbiker33357 Very true

just as cheesy

​​@@Radbiker33357 during that time just need to do a little more chord substitution.

You know it's not much of originally created japanese progression, it's common in other genres.

I just imagined the entire thing😅

VERY GOOD! 🤣🤣🤣

イメージ通りだわありがとう

100% anime accurate 🤣

Man I can Imagine it😮😮😮😮

Bassline reminds me of erased op

😂

Well said my friend❤

I feel the same HAHAHA

비슷한 거는 asian kung fu generation 의 rewrite 인듯

こんなコスパでオタクが熱狂してると思うと悲しくなる

Picardy third! Super anime fr

This is pretty sweet dude

Make another video

It's damn good dude. I'm not surprised!

300k now ... and its still underated hahaha ... wish u all the best for future uploads

that was beautiful man!

OMG FR-

normal is better

Normal wayy better

1.25 so good

1.25x got some shounen anime vibe

considering it is meant to be an anime opening, this is already a full version

@@esc7343 bruh you realize most anime openings have full version…

I am planning to make a full version of it soon (if i can get permission of course)

wait what it does sound like a rock mix of a touhou song

@@underground2691 fr touhou music the best

it definetly sounds like a demetori song lol

yes it also reminds me of God Knows

@@lLucy-oe6ky Cuz main idea got from it? A, B, G#m ,C#m... Also bass line just copypasted

Thats exactly what I was thinking

@@llRailgunmost bass lines are copy pasted

YES!!!!

The way he plays the unresolved chord, and resolves it immediatly aftsr is probably one of my favorite things. The one chord progression i like more is where you a chord, and move it 1 down 2 times, and then resolve it. I think its called marusa chord progression.

see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VrdBw1Y667s.html

No please don't :)

Maybe "Rain"?

Yesss I thought the same

I love the shady cicada reference!

The riff of that Op Is too damn 🔥

Royal Road chord progression which is comprised of - IV- V - iii - vi

@@Arisutamono IV-V-III-VI

@@ethanquitugua3184 No, the 3rd and 6th degrees are minor chords

Royal road progression

I can hear an A, B, G#m, and C#m. Can't quite pick out the rest.

coming here for when someone shares the chords

@@Spaghetti742 a

@@Spaghetti742 don't know the chords BUT you can play very similar sounding chords by looking up "Lets talk about mathrock's video called 5 commonly used chords for math rock, and then play the chords you find there anywhere on the neck that sounds good to you, and also maybe alter 1 note of a chord to your liking that would sound more anime to you, this is what i did so i think it will help you a bit (also chord progression plays a suuper big role too if u already didn't know)

@@Spaghetti742 F#m G#maj C#m-G#maj-Emaj-F#maj there might be some extension notes but these are the basic chords (that I hear)

@@tongqiustb847 @TOTU @spoons , thank you guys!

Ikr that's EXACTLY what I thought. Especially on the verse

Ohh, that would be fun to try! If OP is cool with it, of course

use a synth lead instead of guitar, and play like piano chords instead of strumming. That may work?

@@leo._.vincent As an FL Studio user, what would you recommend?

@@lewisstrongofficial I have no idea lol, ive never done it I just think that would work

Get any electric guitar VSTs and (most important of all) a marshall amp simulator VST, then run that electric guitar through the marshall amp, then you're good to go

ample guitar vsts

You still can though, you just need a daw and some instrument plugins

@@commandershepard9749 i'm broke oof

@@noahbarger1 eh there are free daws and free vsts out there, cakewalk would be a good starting point(don't be fooled, even though it is free, cakewalk is just as good if not better than popular daws like FL or cubase)

@@commandershepard9749 i got mac

@@noahbarger1 mac? Don't you have garageband? It's quite similar to cakewalk and also free

what

Go eat grass bruh

If you genuinely think that, you're romanticizing Japan too much and don't listen to enough western music. You can find more simple and easy Japanese songs the same way you'd find American ones. You're just being purposefully biased because you're a weeb. Also even popular genres for zoomers like Japan City Pop is literally the Japanese trying to emulate what the west was doing with their funk crossover pop music.
