For me it seems unbelievably unfair how someone like you can only have 16k subs! All the work you're putting in for various communities (classical, pokemon, anime etc) definitely deserves more attention!! 🔥 ❤️
Lets not forget the QUALITY of this work. It's practically unparalleled. If I had to say, LotusFlowers take on gen4 & gen5 music is SPOT ON. We can't really get better quality out of "solo piano," a lot of these themes are meant for large bands & orchestras. LotusFlower is bringing out every important melodic, harmonic, and dynamic context of the music on a single instrument. The sad fact is though youtube is ran by money now. People who don't invest or monetize significantly and/or focus on viral click bait don't really get "famous." And honestly... I'm not sure that is LotusFlower's goal to begin with. With their skill I would imagine having multiple careers if not potential ones already. Lets look at it more objectively.... Out of ALL the pokemon fans, how many are actually looking specifically for piano arrangements? We can't really pin a precise number but I imagine not very many. In particular my circumstance is that of being a piano, vgm, classical, and impressionist loony enthusiast. I'm extremely passionate to the extent I would spend hours searching in other languages just to find something. Some smaller youtubers like this take a LOT of researching to actually find or in my case, searching for specific arrangements nobody else has arranged! Out of all the pianists in the world: 1. How many can play something like this? 2. How many of those can arrange something like this? 3. How many of them are interested in pokemon at all? The number dwindles the more we jump through criteria. (By playing it I mean LIKE THAT not just emotionlessly ramming through it with 0 dynamics!) Out of all the fans here, how many do you expect at least PLAY piano. Whether or not they are great, or even good enough to play these arrangements? I would imagine the vast majority of them. If they don't play piano they likely have some type of musical background of some kind that has them heavily interested in ideals that are more abstract than what meets the eyes and ears. This by default means this has less room for fame than say a pianist who has a massive pool of content from virtually everything ever. Even then, some of the best ever who once had millions of views per video now get less than 30k per video. Ever since youtube started this advertisement, monetization, and marketing nonsense... Things aren't so simple for content creators anymore. This in my opinion does not make LotusFlower any less great. I have studied hundreds if not thousands of pianists who specialize in arrangement. LotusFlower is among some of the best I have ever seen when it comes to quality control. Perhaps a bit lacking in creativity beyond what is in the music, made up for tremendously by being beyond creative at reimagining what is actually there! This goes way beyond "the abstract thoughts of a human" lol. All that said, I personally also believe small youtubers like this deserve acknowledgement of their skill by wider audiences. Sadly the world just doesn't work that way at the moment. People are too busy idolizing 8 year olds who can do things 4 year olds did 20 years ago, of which will not be anything at all in 20 years from now..... lol
The join at 0:38 is sooo good. Like always, amazing cover, and thank you for providing sheets so we can all learn 🙏I'm part way through your Poke Mart and Jubilife covers!
hello there! I always come back to this channel to listen to your Pokemon covers and I was wondering if you could check out the game "Until Then" because I just finished it and it has a very compelling soundtrack too. Would love to hear your thoughts about it!
