MUSIC DIRECTOR REACTS | Made in Abyss - VOH ft. Takeshi Saito 

What if your favorite MIA piece? 🟢 Have you joined the Discord?

Kevin Penkin is such a genius composer, i am so surprised that he hasn't composed some OST for a hollywood project. I just want him to become so much more popular and it is a shame that so many people have never heard of him.

When i first heard this in the show, it almost brought me to tears, the stuff that were happening on screen didn't have to do it, the music did it alone. Also, almost half of the track wasn't used in the show, and it wowed me how much more amazing it gets by the end.

Magnífico ❤

Was waiting on this one for a while

MORE MADE IN ABYSS LETSGOOO

Props to the vocalist though. He is literally the voice of the Abyss at this point

Takeshi Saito’s voice is something else,it feels like a constant voice crack that he weaponized to make sound good,when you think he can’t go higher he does exactly that. Combo it with Kevin’s amazing composition and you get this masterpiece of a song. Many songs from Made in Abyss hit the spot right in the feels,and this one of the special ones that hit even harder

Absolute Masterpiece. P.S About halfway through I was saying "huhuhu he's not ready" 😄😄

It's an ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY that the anime only gave the first 30-45 seconds of this song during a scene. Us fans had to wait until this OST released to discover this absolute soulcrusher of a track.

More extraordinary music from an extraordinary story. Ya love to see it.

I've been waiting for this video since he released his first Made in Abyss reaction video 😭😭😭 This is my fav MiA OST

The way the singer's voice melts into synth at 12:30 is completely breathtaking.

Tony is usually so ruthless in how he pauses. I love how many times he just couldn't do it, had to go to the end of the phrase, and even then, I'm sure he wishes had heard this for the first time off camera.

Kevin Penkin, is both an approachable person and a complex enigma, his work is ground breaking and I only hope that enough people listen to his music to remember him as one of the greats, I know I couldn't forget him, even if I tried. Thank you for bringing light to his music.

Please react to Hanezeve Caradhina. You already reacted to pt.2 of that track, but never to pt.1.

Never seen Tony struggle so badly to pause the song hahaha can’t blame him though! First time hearing this piece and I was just as entranced

6:26 😂 I’m crying that’s so real, Tony got hit wit it hard asf

It's always delightful to see you admiring Kevin's work. He truly is a talented composer

I'm a bit curious, did you get introduced to anime music and japanese music in general from when you started this channel? So awesome to see people appreciate insanely talented composers from Japan

Made in abyss music haunts my heart so beautifully

Takeshi Saito is just incredible. I hope you listen to Hanazeve Caradinha as your next MIA ost. Possibly his most recognizable track. He's even done a cover of it on his channel.

Waiting for Hanezeve Caradhina by Kevin, personally the most memorable song from Made in Abyss

This was one of the most rewarding Tony vids. Rare to seem him so entranced he can't pause. Don't think he's ever made it two minutes into a piece before he first pauses. Personally, I really appreciate how Tony brings both his passion for music in a purely aesthetic sense and his technical knowledge.

Made in Abyss is just insane and the music makes it feel Ethereal

When you look at Penkin's early compositions and find a lot of electroacoustic music it finally clicks. The ability to use a WIDE variety of timbres to create dynamic moods is just unmatched. It really is astound the ability to convey feeling and still create an enjoyable listening experience. I've been watching for a while Tony, and this video is one of the best examples of why your channel is great. We can tell your earnest reaction whenever you get blasted by amazing sound. You mix in your passion for music with a very interesting technical aspect or argument for the viewer to focus. Plus you even give comments that take in consideration the fact it is a video being watched (going back to present points and indulge in it, saying to the viewer it is going to be loud). Keep up the good stuff, glad you can find stuff you really like!

Oh hell yeah my favourite track is finally about to be here. This track is largely the reason for how fucking hard i cried durring s2.

I'm so obsessed about this song, Takeshi Saito's voice is so freaking unbelievable, out ouf this world. I love the crescendo of this music, how it starts so still and so sad, and becomes this triumphant, almost regal melody when the brass comes in. The whole song feels like a journey - it makes me think of scenes like the ending of Ori and the Blind Forest's intro, when Ori dies and is revived by the sacred tree, mixed with some of the Disney's Beauty and the Beast ending, when the Beast is transformed back to human. VOH makes me think of that - death, rebirth and transformation. So cool!!

It was quite an experience to see someone find a song that they instantly just clearly adore - to the point he is struggling to do his normal analysis of it. Loved this video.

Made in Abyss hurts to watch. But it’s beautiful none the less.

Kevin did a god-tier job on this anime. For me its on the same level as AOT/Inception OST which was god tier as well

The series of beeps and boops quote is from one of Kevins buds on the Trash Taste podcast @CDawgVA who is often roasted for it. This "amazing" take originated here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ytzz5ESFx_Y.htmlfeature=shared

OMG YOU ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THIS ONE, LET'S GO

would recommend you 2 songs from Made in Abyss 1.) Pathway (Goodbye My Friend) and 2.) Belaf's Lullaby both are 2 emotional pieces from penkin

You said it right Tony! It hits right in the feels. And VOH does hit very, very hard. I can't express the shared beauty this song projects! It's sad and depressing with a dark undertone yet beautiful and something divine, ethereal! I can't explain but it feels like I'm falling into a trance the more I hear it. The vocals are majesticly captivating. Very meditative. It's stellar! 🥲 Kevin Penkin is just something. I know well-known music composers like Yu Peng Chen who's a legend, and I consider Kevin Penkin a legend among the legends. He has such an authentic way of creating masterpieces. A true artist at his craft. Man, I can't wait for S3. I just finished S2 and it was a blast. Top 10 animes of all time for sure. 🙏🕳

I love this anime !! it is one of my favorites, it's super nice that you react to its music I strongly advise you to listen « SAN-KEN » « Prayer and Immolation » « faith » and « Tomorrowland » Personally they are only MasterClass 🔥

Se viene uno de los más grandes ost de made in abyss

finished watching Made in Abyss again yesterday and l don't know how some people think this track was underused, it was perfect, just the right moments. there's still a lot of the main, most know songs to come next but l would love to see Dark Reg, Nightmare Fuel, think is maybe the most underrated of the big ones, so that most don't think it is one of them.

Waiting gang!!!

This is so complicated Music... sometimes it's hard to understand and feel it. But man, this one.. tears everytime.

Okay Tony, you made a video about the big two: Old stories and VOH.. Now you're just missing Gravity! It's epic

you know what gets me the most with this song? the fact that its as long as it is, being around 7 minutes long, yet listening to it makes it actually feel like its 2 minutes long. its just so impressive and it catches you in all the right ways and creates a song that is really long, but feels super short because of how amazing it is. its not even my favorite MIA song, but its so incredibly well made it blows my mind, so i have to give it the respect it deserves. had to edit this real quick, but the way the vocals are used in combination with the lyrics makes the vocals feel like another instrument being played. afaik, the lyrics arent real words, but thats what creates that feel for me. its like his voice is just another instrument being played on top of everything else and i love it! ive seen a few people react to this song over the past few weeks, and heard about people who had heard it for the first time, and everyone reacts to it in a very similar way. i know its just a song, its just music, its just 7 minutes of music. but its such a powerful 7 minutes that im going out of my way to comment on a youtube video to exclaim how much i appreciate it. i cant wait to see what the soundtrack will be like in season 3, whenever that happens.

The probability of this comment being taken seriously for the next MiA video is low, but I’ll put it down for the record anyway. One of the most slept-on tracks from season 2 is a song called Faputa. It’s probably the most chilling and uncanny thing I’ve ever listened to. (What’s sad though is that it never made it into season 2, so it’s not very well publicized.)

jesus christ... that aint no normal vocalist... damn.

I'll wait for him to hear the one from - Gravity of Arnór Dan - It's so beautiful :'3

OK The ost for tower of god for kevin penkin is HEAVILY underrated, for the love of god don't miss out!!!

You should watch the show if you didn't already. Great piece!

Of all your Made in Abyss reactions, why not reacting to the season 2 OP "Katachi" by Azuna Riko? It´s a fantastic song.

Considering how much you appreciate the bass, you really need to listen to The Gravity from Guilty Gear Strive. It's sounds so full and chunky, very groovy too

i just checked comments from most recent and im amazed that you still answer the comments from 1 month but and also you should give this anime a chance

Otherworldly, talk about a piece that transports you to a another dimension and floods you with emotions and feelings that are impossible to articulate.

I am so glad you didn't pause during the crescendo. This is one of the greatest pieces of composition I've heard in a while.

again nice vide,, my favorite piece from kevin pekin is tomorrow i would like your reaction to that

This piece is a great summation of the show as a whole. There are some other ones that are clearly crafted for specific moments, but this really encapsulates what season 2 is all about for me. I’m not sure when this plays, but it would have to be somewhere near the final scene.

So underrated, favorite track from made in abyss

Be careful if you want to watch the anime, it's pretty... shocking to say the least.

If you love Kevin’s work I recommend Prushka Sequence next. Love this one and want to know what you think on it

please react to Kevin Penkin ‘Tomorrow’ 😭❤️

So fucking good. What's even more amazing is that the song is not only great in its own right, but also how well it fits into the show. Phenomenal stuff

Next you have to do Gravity OST from S2 trust me it's a gem.

this song never fails to give me goosebumps

Hope you have seen this anime, it's a masterpiece.

I loved the anime But listening to this with the context I have crippling depression

I'm so excited for the next soundtrack of made in abyss

dios mio, yo no entiendo de musica, pero si el objetivo era ponerte triste con esta cancion, y con la voz , lo logro. No pude evitar las lagrimas.

This show is such a masterpiece.

金切り声がまるで哀愁のように聞こえる。

This is my favorite, it is spectacular in every aspect. I love the composition as such, it has too many layers, it plays very well with many nuances of all the instruments. Is incredible.

for me, this is the best song kevin has ever made

I'm surprised no one has requested ost from the Ancient Magus' Bride. Tracks like The Ancient Mgus' Bride Main theme, Symphonic Poem, Legend of the Ancient Magus' Bride & Dance of the Spirit are phenomenal tracks I hope someone requests.

So I'd totally be down to watching you react to Made In Abyss anime at some point, I can't really afford to patreon every month, but if at some point I see you're watching it I'll support for a few months at least! Kevin Penkin's music hits different while watching the show, it's one of those OSTs that complements the visuals/story to absurd points, a must watch for me (even though some people will say that the author is a degenerate and bla bla)

Please please PLEASE react to Gravity Tony! I think you’d LOVE it with how you reacted to this one! Also just wanted to say your content is amazing thanks for being a super genuine and fun person to watch!!

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but the guy saying "music is just beeps and boops" was very likely quoting one of Kevin's friends, who doesn't care too much about music in media and in general. That sentence has become a bit of a meme, so I'm pretty sure the comment was ironic :P

You 100% need to listen to SAN-KEN, THE THREE SAGES. Easily one of the best soundtracks MIA has too offer in my opinion.

holy fuck play this song at my funeral man

......people need to ask for more Made movie ost's...... (they didn't ask for neither one yet 🤯) 👨🏻‍🔬💼

10:19 never fails to give me chills

Ждём 3 сезон

Finally he reacted to VOH, I was waiting for this!

takeshi saito, the perfect vocalist for kevin penkins work on this series

praying for you to see gravity eventually

Yes yes and yes i wanted this one Loved your reaction, you bring a big smile on my face We need him to react to every made in abyss ost

made in abyss have such amazing soundtrack, also recommend the soundtracks of the Macross series

Song of the Dead has to happen eventually right????

Day 8 of my asking you to react to Mariya Takeuchi’s song Plastic Love because it’s very similar to stay with me by Miki Matsubara and I loved your reaction to that song

This is simply moving. Amazing arrangements that moves you like this are rare !

Now Gravity would be nice

crazy coincidence, binged made in abyss this week and have been listening to this on repeat for 3 days

Have you reacted to Made In Abyss on Patron? Like the show itself?

Tony, whenever I see you I am reminded of jon hamm in baby driver. It has been bugging me for a while as I associated you with someone but couldn't remember whom, now the coin in my head dropped and I had a brief evreka moment.

No, little German boy! Don't become a Made In Abyss fan!

this is my absolute favourite was hoping you'd do this one

I don't think Made in Abyss would be what it is without Kevin PEAKin's music...

could you react to the golden city and counterpoint of abyss from made in abyss s2 as well? they are also incredible songs.

Wow I just watched his transcendence and hanezeve video and subscribed. Now he’s about to listen to my favorite piece from Kevin yet, wow great timing

Can you also react to carnival praise to princess, ouni, prayer and ningyxryu as well?

Kevin PEAKin

As always, Kevin is a god among men, absolutely biblical

i wounder what the 7th layer music would be. probably will be something similar to Kage Ratetsu.

A underrated song from Kevin Penkin is prayer and immolation
