My favorite parts about these are always just when random passerbys come up and can play piano and are super chill about asking to play something. There's not many times where someone can play something for a public crowd without making the opportunity themselves like you do, so it's nice seeing people step up to the plate. It takes some courage and confidence to put yourself out there, though in my experience, it's always easier when you're not aware that someone in the audience knows who you are. That's just me, though, I can't speak for anyone else with a performance background. "I just wish I was on a longer shift" was so wholesome.
The Oshi No Ko OPs are so fitting for the show. Idol is Ai's song, its about her and her story, and Fatal is Aquamarine and Ruby's song. The superficial and performative themes of Idol is how Ai sees the world, and the contrast between the up beat and hopeful, and the dark and dreary themes, combined under the theatrics of Fatal is such a perfect encapsulation of Aqua and Ruby as a duo.
I love Oshi no Ko so much and both s1 and s2 intros are the best! Fatal on piano was absolutely incredible and I was singing Idol when Joe played that song on piano. Thank you so much for the video Joe!! Keep up the great work! You're truly inspiring!
It's always fun to see the interactions with the audience and what others choose to play on the piano, and it looks like you picked a particularly fun location this time around!
Idol sounds chaotic at first listen, but after some time you start to really apprieciate well thought changes of pace and overall melody. Ofc its amazing on the piano, such an amazing and unique song with talking, rapping and singing parts in it.
I see no sheet music anywhere on the piano so this guy MEMORIZED everything. Piano is one of the, if not the hardest, instruments to learn… most people don’t realize what level of talent this actually is…
I love it how some people from the groud joining you and show their stuff and mostly that you give them the chance and stage! Maybe I'm a bit older but it would be awesome to listen you playing X - Sadame. This was one of my most watched and rewatched animes of my childhood.
There are many type of pianists and many in between and they are players that can: Memorize Play hard songs Play popular songs Play in public Play at all Joe Jenkins
Always nice to see a public spot that has people really appreciate joe, esspcially non weebs just joining in and appreciate his music. God that amy winehouse cover soo good.
I'm gonna be honest, did not expect the guy at 0:55 to pop off! Girl @3:05 was pretty good. Kid @6:05 absolutely slayed that piece! And of course, Joe also does the bangers! He brought those songs to top notch piano pieces! (Season 1 OP still better though) EDIT: 8:20 These kind of guys help make the world a better place!
00:14 most might not agree with it, but for me its a song i hear on daily basis and my ringtone as well, i like 2nd op morr than the first and hearing it more makes me like it more
YAYYY YOU FINALLY PLAYED IDOL IM SO HAPPY!!! Would also love to hear the Frieren openings and ending, I absolutely love the ending (anytime anywhere) and both openings are bangers!
The way you play and the way you let audience come in and engage is such amazing thing, you best at playing piano and also an amazing human being! I also wish to be a part of such engagement, its a good feeling
In the opennings I prefer Idol by far, but on the piano Fatal looks sick too, so I think I can consider both of them on the same level on the piano. But I've been waiting so long for you to play Idol lol, I'm glad I subscribed to your channel!!
I kinda dropped off of the Oshi No Ko train, but you playing the s2 opening has convinced me to give it a listen. It's such a banger on piano. I hope the real deal lives up to your hype
Oshi no ko has really good OPs Also, This is trully peak content!! PD: I dont know if you played them, but i suggest the 2 OPs of sousou no frieren, some honkai: star rail OST and tensura OPs( all of them are rlly good), they are pure art
Two videos in a month?! This is amazing! These videos you make just always make me smile and happy. I wish I knew how to play an instrument cause I think I would love to play some songs out in the open and try to bring joy to others with that. But alas I am only an artist of drawings, so I will stick to that for now.
Looks like I‘ve listened to those two openings often enough for the algorithm to notice. Great video! And gyah damn that kid around 6:20 got me sitting here with a mean stank face. Edit: Now I kinda want to see you interpret/play the Mayonaka Punch OP
Wonderful performance!!!! I have to say, I cant choose between Idol and Fatal right now, I guess I have to wait for a couple more months to see if I will still be enjoying Fatal as much as I enjoy Idol!
