Okami Piano Arrangement - Theme of the Celestials 

To me, this song is telling the history and story of the Celestial Plain and what happened to the Celestials. Starts off peaceful and calm, then gets more dramatic and almost chaotic to symbolize Orochi's attack and returns with the melody more triumphant than ever to symbolize Amaterasu fighting back. The following more slowed down bit is explaining the tragedy on the Ark of Yamato and how there was but one survivor. I love this arrangement :^)

the first time I listened to this was at the age of 9 and to this day, I still listen to okami as a 21 year old

I'm convinced I just found the most beautiful piano song on earth.

Oh gosh, it's raining outside. This sounds amazing XD

wow...it reminds me of pokemon mystery dungeon when the main character disappears and when grovyle leaves.

First off I love Okami, second the begging sounds like it should be from "Spirited Away"

This makes me shed tears of happiness & sadness. Beautifully arranged.

beginning, sounds like I just lost my best friend. dramatic build going into middle, sounds like the tension and hope and rage of wanting to go avenge ur best friend. ending, the finale goodbye to their spirit...

When I am listening to the song, it makes me calm down, see through my window, see all the little parts of the unharmed nature. It's isolating me from the disquietingly world for 4:46 minutes and this is such a beautiful moment

Now, who in the world would dislike this incredible piece of music?

I...this song...I don't ever want it to stop playing...ever...it's too beautiful for words...

This song brings back so many memories of this beautiful game... I think I’m going to cry. ;w;

This sounds like magic... ~💖

half sorrowful (the past of the Celestials)...half joyful (about the bright future ahead)... ...this almost brings me to tears

absolutely fantastic. In-game, the Theme of the Celestials was not a favorite of mine... but after hearing so many emotion-charged, sorrowful, and beautiful covers such as this has made me turn 180

So beautiful. Almost brings me to tears.

This is beautiful...

WOW it's beautiful

I could fall asleep to this its so peaceful and calming. I could fall asleep to a lot of Okami songs, because they are all just so beautiful. The creatures of the game did a very good job on music and art

in one sense it is emo, by which i mean emotional

I agree.. people usually forget the true meaning of "emo"

sheet music please?

@BoltroBankai I'm flattered that you think I did this, but, I actually got this from an official soundtrack that Capcom produced. So that part where the song changes a bit wasn't my doing.

one of the best sorrowful BGM of Okami. some of the other sorrowful ones are : "Kamiki's Sorrowful Tradition" and "Reset-Thank You Version". Also, i love "The Rising Sun" and "Reset"

@lagrtz Gosh...that's really deep.....

I imagine Dark Matter playing this with her piano, and somehow the song can answer Lara's questions, about her mother Astra, about everything.

Can anyone recommend me something that resembles or has parts that resemble 2:49?

listentoyoutube is a life saver for this. =D

If you overlap two of them together I sounds so nice but play one a minute later than the other one before starting.

Lechku and Nechku disliked this :D

What book did you buy to get the sheet music? I cant seem to find any piani arrangement books for okami

Its funny how i listen to hardcore screamo bands, then i listen to this. Best music ever.

Because I was reading "Private Peaceful" while I heard this for the first time, this music always reminds me this story; WW1 and 2, Hiroshima and Nagasaki... All those subjects I learnt this year at junior hight school. So sad... ='s

i dont get how its beautiful... and dont say i have no taste in music or whatever... listen to Mother 3's Love Theme or Earthbound's Boy Meets Girl those are beautiful songs and by the time i finish typing all of this, i see why this song is beautiful. what a waste of comment

somehow i have a feeling...i feel that as if the original "theme of the celestials" was piano...anyway, this is beautiful^^

@GrayStripe786 Woah, maestro. Don't go throwing around the word noob.

@PhoenixWingWolf Emo!? the hell u talking about this is art it's not "emo" it's relaxing

wait, i commented on this video? i forgot

2:20

@PhoenixWingWolf I see I'm guessing your in Jr. high Because I know what your talking about you said people who tend to poke fun at anything. either it's a good song

Anyone here for the daily fix?

and why'd you start fucking with the song at 1:58 ?

i still prefer the original theme tbh, but this is still very well composed however a little too slow
