The Sun Rises (Okami) - GaMetal Remix 

"Oh, Johnny Atma. Origin of all that is Metal, and Father to the Riffs."

A case of this isn't the Final boss' theme. This Is YOUR theme. YOU are the unstoppable force.

_"If you pray with all your heart maybe the sun will cheer up and show itself once again, lightning our world with its heavenly glow! After all, the best thing about the great god Amaterasu is that happy-go-lucky spirit! Right, Ammy? Answer if you can hear me, ya big furball!"_ *- Wandering Artist Issun*

Yami: "Why do I hear boss music?"

Sit, Ammy, sit. Now raise the sun. …Good girl! …I know nothing about Ōkami, I just know Amaterasu is an adorable white wolf doggie. :3

Everytime Okami is brought up someone always mentions this song and for good reason

Ah man, so yeah what it’s been like 7 years since I first started requesting this song? Hard to believe, and even harder to believe that it finally exists. There’s a lot I *could* say but I feel maybe it’s best to leave it at a simple thank you. This was a really popular request back in 2015, it was incredibly common alongside songs like Zanza and Serpent Devouring the Horizon. I grew impatient waiting for this song and seeing it fall further and further back into obscurity, and I decided to rally some people on the Discord to make some noise for this one. Even if we basically annoyed Jonny into submission, I’m still kinda amazed it worked. Okami is a masterpiece, and replaying it for the first time in a decade for this video made me remember that. I thank you for that opportunity. I cant thank you enough for this cover, this absolutely beautiful and magnificent cover. Thank you, Jonny. I’d love to see you return to the series someday, but for now, the sun has risen, and thus it has set.

I CANNOT EXPLAIN IN WORDS HOW GRATEFUL I AM THAT AN OKAMI COVER HAS FINALLY BEEN MADE

I just realised why this song makes you feel so hyped up in the final boss, why this fight feels like a formality that you cant lose, its because its not the boss's theme playing it's Amaterasu's. Don't think I've played any other game where it's the good guys song playing in a boss fight, at least none as memorable as this. Anyhow, great cover!

I'd been playing Okami for my parents - we sit down at the couch for about an hour every week and they watch me play - for the last year almost, and just this week we finished the game, so this timing couldn't possibly be any better. I knew this song was coming and it would always bring tears to my eyes just hearing it, so the leadup to the final battle absolutely wrecked me and I couldn't hold back the tears, and in front of my parents, no less. Love this song, love what you've done with it, and keep up the good work!

This song has been in my "top 10 video game songs" for years. One of the best final boss fights for arguably one of the best video games ever made. So glad to hear a Gametal version.

OKAMI GAMETAL?! TODAY WE FEAST

OH MY GOD, YES. I believe Okami is a game that touched the hearts of many people I've met. And I believe that today, you touched the hearts of those who grew up with Okami. I haven't played Okami in forever (I don't have patience for long stories and got distracted, so I didn't know where to go or what to do.) However, the love for this game and its canine goddess is real. And if Amaterasu is real too (and I don't know how much of that is imagination), I like to think she'd smile upon the remix you made today. Amaterasu - or as Issun calls her, "Ammy" - would particularly be happy because the execution was on point. If someone had to make a metal remix of Amaterasu's theme, it would be good enough to play a tense, "cinematic" guitar. But playing it in your powerful style while *still* keeping a traditional Taishōgoto/Nagoya Harp (Shoutout to Zach D. again) to keep a little bit of Amaterasu in there? That's something else! I'm going to need to listen to this song more for a proper opinion, but right now, at least from this song alone, you made a good part of my past happy. Who knows if the sun goddess is happy, too? Thank you.

And now Starb can rest easy. Banger song as always.

Totally out of the blue, but we take it! Edit: not that I expected otherwise, but this remix was godlike! Hope you do a cover of world's end valentine in the future, keep it up Jonny, your work is amazing

この曲は日本で行われるBGM投票会で長年上位の曲です。和風の曲を大変上手にアレンジしててすごいです！

This is another one of the most impressive covers you've made, holy hell you did this masterclass of a song justice.

The game might be about a wolf, but the game itself is a goat.

The sun rises, as the fish jumps over the mountain, let the Magikarp Festival begin!

My favorite piece of VGM next to Tragic Prince from SOTN, it can never have enough remixes. Great effort with this one.

That was so phenomenal, Okami has always been my favorite video game probably of all time (and yes, it’s my go to username when I can’t think of anything else) and every rendition I hear of Rising Sun makes me smile. 8Bit, with lyrics, a metal version. It’s so nostalgic to hear, I remember being so terrified even before leaving Kamiki Village back in the day due to hearing Orachi’s roars in the distance and being like “nah I don’t like that” as a child playing the Wii versuon. Beating Yami for the first time was such an adrenaline rush and I thank you so much for bringing back these memories.

FINALLY THE MAN DID AN OKAMI COVER! AND IT'S AWESOME! AW IM SO GLAD.

That slapped hard. I've never listened to any of the songs in Okami but I must check the soundtrack out as that performance was very good! My requests are: 1. Door into summer - Knuckles Chaotix 2. Splash Down!! - Ristar 3. Final Battle! (Hop) - Pokemon Sword/Shield 4. Beach - Plok!

I didn't even realise I needed this for the morning. Really great job GaMetal! PS. can't wait for the next song, be it Metal Gear, Maverick, or just some random JRPG thingy.

Didn't realize this morning would be so epic... Okami will always be one of my top ten games of all time. A true testament to how gameplay and presentation (both in graphic and sound design) can trump graphical fidelity (though Okami HD is pretty rad lol). Here's to another of the greatest VGM under Jonny's belt!

Fitting that it's put out in the morning for the states :P Loving it all the same Suggesting the Overworld theme from Faxanadu on NES

*hears first 40 seconds* now that's a banger. Tapped on the notification as soon as I saw the icon

This ROCKS!! The Sun Rises works surprisingly well in metal form, great job!!

Dude, instant shivers. I... haven't even played Okami, dammit - but know the significance of this moment and this track in the game, I love listening to it... and then I get overwhelmed by emotions all the same.

No matter what joshscorcher says, Ōkami is an awesome game!

This brings back good memories

*_YOOOOOOO OKAMI?!?_* Bro this is incredible! I love Okami with all of my heart, & this cover is truly befitting of the Goddess of the Sun, best girl Amaterasu! Thank you so much Jonny!

A song from one of my most favorite games of all time

1:02 eagle incoming Good rendition

Unbelievable game. Never expected to find such a great cover. Somewhat hesitant that any attempt wouldn't live up to what the track represents. Hats off man, you did a great job. The smell of flowers must be with you!

Perfect way to start the morning!

… I’m about to cry. Edit: Say, have you ever heard of a game called The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky? There's a song called "Sophisticated Fight", which is the regular battle theme. That would be cool to see one day.

I remember suggesting Trap Factory and The Sun Rises all the way back in the google poll days (basically within the first few years of the old days with "Purple Jonny"). After all this time, both suggestions have finally come to fruition! Sounds so damn good.

this sounds awesome I better go play this game

I was literally at work the other day, thinking, "Man, it'd be cool if Jonny Atma would cover The Sun Rises from Okami" and lo and behold, apparently my wishes were granted that same day

素晴らしいアレンジ！

I literally just gifted my friend this game YESTERDAY!!! ARE YOU STALKING ME GAMETAL!?

Nothing like waking up to a crappy morning and then listening to this gem to bright up the day. The Sun Rises, indeed. Thanks, Gametal 🥰

The next Celestial Brush god, Jonny Atmasu, god of metal, to give you the power of Shredding.

OH HELL YEAH, let's freaking go! Praise the wolf goddess!

Oh.. my… OKAMI!! It’s breathtaking to see you take on a track from Okami. I myself, haven’t played the game, but I’m planning to very soon! It sounds like a fantastic game. Great cover!

Yes, this game needs more recognition

Admittedly I’m not the most familiar with your selection of covers (sorry lol) but this feels like one of your most unique to date, and I’m all for that. As a guitarist I’m always down for some crazy fast shredding, but the genuine emotion in these guitar lines this time around was palpable, and the taishōgoto harp really gave the cover that perfect touch. The harp at the end followed by the tapping line with all the twinkling and triumphant sounds honestly have me chills. I’d definitely consider this to be one of your best covers to date, and it also reminded me how great Ōkami and its soundtrack really are. Thanks for all the hard work you put in for us as usual Jonny!

Love this one! Would love a cover of Eclipse from Okamiden, too

One of my favorite song in this game, I love the cover! (Un coucou de la France)

When I saw the Amaterasu silhouette, I was hoping The Sun Rises was the song you'd do. Thank you for this awesome remix!

Another fantastic remix of another of my all time favorite pieces of game music Mr Atma, never stop being awesome!

YEES! Okami is so good and this song is so good and you did it absolute justice. I loved it!

Aw yiss! Love Okami and this song 💖💖💖 Awesome job man!

Dude this song is so good and your cover is so cool. Absolutely love this!

Thanks so much for this, what an amazing cover!

I literally started playing this yesterday! This cover has me hyped to play through it all

Que gran cover del que según yo es el mejor juego de la historia! Tienes un nuevo suscriptor.

Watched this right as the sun rose above my home....an awesome remix to this epic final battle theme. The gods are pleased.

Nice work Johnny. Love the unique instrumentation.

I've been requesting this song for years! It's such a joy to finally see you've covered it

I could cry, this is so wonderful.

Got damn! I loved Okami and this is one of my favorite video game tracks of all time and you more than did it justice here.

Oh my god I've been wanting to play this song on guitar for so long but couldn't figure out how to make it sound right. I'm taking inspiration from you. Incredible job!

You blow me away everytime with tracks like this, 11/10

Such an amazing work, man!

I didn't know I was waiting for this cover until I finally heard it oh my god. This was one of my favorite songs from the game and I'm so happy to hear it done by you!

If requests still go in the comments, I got one. Phoenotopia Awakening, Boss battle music.

Holy freaking riff, man!!! Thanks for this. Okami is one of my favorite games ever

AAAHHHH. It's heeeere! So epic! Great remix!

THE SUN RISES! ☀️

Worth the wait.

Ah yes, the one game I was so close to 100 percent... then the block demon gave me a middle finger

I wanna cry happy tears, dude. Okami is my all-time favorite game, and this is my all-time favorite theme in the entire game, so hearing this just hits me hard. I love it. I goddamn love it.

Such a beautiful song and cover. Such an epic final battle.

One of my favorite songs of all time, and you did it justice here. No matter version, it always nearly brings me to tears, but at least I could rock out while doing so with this version. An absolutely amazing thing to wake up to. As for a song request, either the theme of the hollow knight or the white palace would be awesome to here gametalfied

This: **Starts playing** Yami: Wait, Why Am I hearing Boss Music?

Oh hell yes. Praying for that shinshu field remix. Amazing job, I loved this game so much through my teen years, I maybe even love it more than a majority of Zelda games.

Oh hell yeah! A GaMetal cover for a great song from one of my favorite games ever. You love to see it.

Okami is such a great game, glad to see it get some love like this. Fantastic playing as always.

No way, what a great thing to see in my sub feed. This is epic in every possible way

This franchise is so underrated and deserves as much praise as Amy gets.

Incredible job!

Song requests: Crow feast (nameless cat) Stop looking (nameless cat) Finale (undertale)

Awesome video!! ♥️

Your cover is very exciting! It's nice!

This Chad has blessed us all with this amazing remix of an already amazing song!

I'VE WAITED FOR YEEEEEAAAARS

Amazing work! I'm love to see you cover True Susano.

I just completed the HD remaster of Okami not too long ago, I loved the final boss music, and you just made it better

Its so epic amazing job

Well this was a wonderful way to start my day.

Although I should be on topic, good job on the cover! Feels powerful.

Well, I know my prayer was answered. Love this game to bits, loved the remaster, still one of my favourite games period.

OMG un tema GOD con un cover GOD lo vuelve SÚPER GOD

YOOOOO FINALLY I LOVE THIS GAME THANK YOU FOR THIS
