Making a Jrpg Soundtrack: Emotional Intro Theme (Inspired by Hiroyuki Sawano)

Alright. Improv story, one step at a time. Could be fun. Could be about..nuggets. Who knows?

[First Contact]

"THIS IS ARALIA. AN UNTOUCHED WORLD OF SERENITY. HOME TO LIFE AND ITS DESCENDANTS. AS OVERSEER, I WAIT UNTIL HUMANITY IS AT PEACE AND READY."

This was the first and last time we heard the voice from beyond the barrier. It was overheard by a someone only known as "Kudzu", an ancient explorer who regularly traveled to the barrier, the invisible wall that surrounds our world. A few years after hearing the voice, he supposedly went missing, never to be found again.

The world of Aralia is an ocean surrounded by a ring of giant islands, each one being home to vastly different cultures and communities. At least...that's what we can assume. The government who runs this world now...they don't allow travel of any kind. Even talk of the barrier is looked down upon. This is their way of ensuring our "safety".

There are no large conflicts, but is this truly the "peace" that our God wanted? Is it fine to be segregated from everyone? Is it okay to live in ignorance, going off the words of our ancestors? None of this feels right. I don't think this is living. I want to explore and solve the world's mysteries, and that's what I plan to do...one day. When the time is right.

We've all had those deep thinking moments in the shower where we finally imagined solving a scenario. This song wasn't necessarily about solving arguments. It was moreso about taking the time to confront and face an issue once you finally give room to think about it. But I can't exactly fit that all in the title (: Either way, I hope you enjoy!

Never thought this series would come back, but I felt like it'd be fun to try some new challenges! As soon as I was tasked with making a final boss theme in 10 minutes, I immediately thought of a disco beat (for some reason). So I went forward with something a bit groovier! This is "Attempting to Make a Groovy Final Boss Theme in 10 Minutes". I hope you enjoy!

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Emotional cutscenes can be sad, uplifting, or somewhere right in between. I went for something a little different with this track in the form of a lofi/orchestral beat. Its a very specific type of track, but I feel like I got a fair enough point across, and I quite enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy as well!

In video games and anime, battles involving wits are just unparalleled. You know it's good when you can watch an entire episode of two people walking down a sidewalk. This song is more of an energetic "gotcha" moment during said battle. It was also made for "Attorney of the Arcane", a game that I composed music for! It's good to be back, everyone (: I hope you enjoy!

Song That Plays When You Fight Your Enemies (But You’re Super Edgy)

Shady Cicada 2022-11-05 | Support me on Patreon
► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
For those lovable characters with hearts of mold. I'm kidding though. Edgy characters can be a wonderful thing and they're honestly a favorite personality trait of mine (especially when they're also dorks, like Raiden or recently Bayonetta 3's Viola). They always have amazing music to back them as well, so I tried to capture that myself (as an arcade-y feelng level theme) in my own style. This is "Song That Plays When You Fight Your Enemies (But You’re Super Edgy)". I hope you enjoy the song!

Song That Plays When the Main Character Has Their Redemption Arc a Little Too Late

Shady Cicada 2022-07-23 | -Support me on Patreon-
► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
You know things are getting real when a great song comes on in an JRPG and they decide to have it play during battles too. This song is probably one of my favorites this year. It was super fun putting together, mainly because there was a genuine scenario behind it from the very start (for that little game idea of mine). May it bring all the emotional JRPG vibes (or whatever else). This is "Song That Plays When the Main Character Has Their Redemtpion Arc a Little Too Late". I hope you enjoy!

Nothing gets your excitement and stress levels higher than a final boss finally revealing themselves. This moment can absolutely be amplified by a song that reflects said stressful atmosphere. This is not a new genre to me, but it is definitely one that I like to experiment with.This is just one of those results. I hope you enjoy! This is "Attempting to Make a Final Boss Theme Song"

Attempting to Make a Chiptune/Video Game Rock Theme

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
There's already a TON of video game and rock/metal tracks on this channel, but I've never attempted to fuse them together in a way such as this (imagine something from that Scoot Pilgrim beat 'em up game) nor have I dabbled a lot in the realm of chiptune sounds. This commission I recieved was the perfect challenge to finally give this an attempt and I'm super happy with how it came out! I hope you all enjoy this track (and my tiny return to YouTube)! This is "Attempting to Make a Chiptune/Video Game Rock Theme".

You know that moment when the main character in a game or an anime has a bit of a....moment after feeling down and then they feel invigorated? There's like a million different kinds of themes for that :'D BUT here's one that invokes that feeling (it was meant to at least) for a lil game soundtrack concept of mine. I hope you enjoy seeing it put together (and of course the song itself)! This is "Song That Plays When the Main Character Has a Redemption Arc". Enjoy!

What a year. It was both a very productive/amazing one and a very stressful/depressing one. I'm sure many people watching this share similar views on 2021. But all I'll say is: I'm incredibly grateful to have you all as a community. Even when my brain sometimes tries to convince me that I'm not worth doing any of this, you guys always remind me that what I'm doing is pretty good. I'm too tired to type more, but just know that I love all of you and I'm so thankful for all of the opportunities you've given me by helping this channel grow. I'm working on so many projects now. Keep an eye out, becuase your video game composer bug boy is gonna be reelin 'em in everywhere.. Thank you (:

Song That Plays When You Meet Eyes With a Goose and Don’t Know What to Do

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
The goose is loose and so is your grip on mortality. These feathered trumpets are in the worst mood at all times, so a song about them felt like a fun challenge to take on. I did this on stream just hours before uploading this video (the process took me about 5 hours). I'm really happy with how it came out and I plan to release a full (non goose) version in the near future. But for now, here is "Song That Plays When You Meet Eyes With a Goose and Don’t Know What to Do". I hope you enjoy!

Song That Plays When You Anger Your Short Friend

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
We all got the short friend. Sometimes it's you. Sometimes it's me. This is dedicated to all the people and characters in fiction who are more than they look. There's some absolutely spicy energy in there that ranges from cute to devastating (this song would be only slightly higher on the cute:devastating ratio). This was a fun song to make in that regard (and it's something I may use for my own game idea). A pretty fun experience overall! Keep on keeping on, you lovely people. This is "Song That Plays When You Anger Your Short Friend". I hope you enjoy!

Song That Plays When the JRPG Character Drops a Bunch of Lore

Shady Cicada 2021-11-06 | -Support me on Patreon-
► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
If you've ever heard my streams (or heard me talk about video games in general), you know I'm obsessed with lore (when it's good, of course) and theory making. So you can imagine that when a good game drops a bunch of lore, I'm all about it. Especially when there's amazing music playing. As someone with my own video game ideas and music writing experience, I just had to give that style a chance in my own way. Here's something I wrote a few years back and finally finished up (for now. If I choose to use it for something in the future, I will remake it). I hope you enjoy! This is "Song That Plays When the JRPG Character Drops a Bunch of Lore".

I love JRPGs that have mythical mysterious forests. Especially if the area itself has some kind of mysterious past or crazy lore behind it. I also love when the themes for those areas are pretty with a sense of something else in the background. That kind of music definitely influenced a lot of what I do. Here's a little something I've been putting together. I'd still like to tweak it a bit, but I hope you enjoy what it is for now! This is "Song That Plays When the JRPG Characters Get Lost in a Forest" but also known as "Where She Sleeps"

Song That Plays When You Do Something Stupid in Front of Your Crush, but Then They Smile

Everyone has those moments. You do something you think is dumb, but the other person thinks it's funny and charming because you're just being you and they like that. Trying to make that into a short song was a lot of fun and I'm pretty happy with how it came out! I only had about 1-2 hours to write this entire thing as well. A bit of a last minute groove, if you will. I hope you enjoy! This is the "Song That Plays When You Do Something Stupid in Front of Your Crush, but Then They Smile"

Song That Plays When Someone Asks if a Hotdog Is a Sandwich

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
We've all fallen victim to those debates that don't really matter at all. Yet they are some of the most heated debates around, probably for how ridiculous they are in general. The hotdog debate genuinely hurts my soul, but it was a topic that very much fit with a song I was working on for a game by the name of "Attorney of the Arcane", a game inspired by the Ace Attorney series, but with it's own spin on the genre. With all that being said...what do you think a hotdog is? This is "Song That Plays When Someone Asks if a Hotdog Is a Sandwich". I hope you enjoy!

Song That Plays When You Need to Use the Washroom in a 1950s Ice Cream Parlor

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Dont even ask cause I don't know either. Eveyrone's had that moment. In the 50s of course. I don't even know how to explain this one, other than the fact that it was somehow formed in my brain. It was good practice for learning ragtime structures (among other things). This is probably one of the weirdest songs I've ever made, but I genuinely enjoyed every aspect of the processs. This is "Song That Plays When You Need to Use the Washroom in a 1950s Ice Cream Parlor". I hope you enjoy!

Take a little time for yourself and relax. Even if it's for a few minutes, you owe it to your brain. Work and life has been super stressful and my voice is shot to the point where it hurts to drink water or talk (hence the way I sound in this video). But I'll take some time to relax, even if it feels like I can't afford it. And then I'll keep goin' and doing my best to improve at what I do and blow you all away. Have a good one!

We all had this. I'm pretty sure I had this today. I thought this one would be a fun one to attempt. It can be tough to capture an accurate feeling for these because everyone interprets situations differently, but it's been incredibly fun attempting my takes on them!

Woah hey! Time to announce another cool project I've been working on! This time, I've been writing some songs for a visual novel by the name of "Attorney of the Arcane", a visual novel inspired by the Ace Attorney series! There are a ton of little unique features in this game's atmosphere and gameplay that really make it shine on it's own and it made me incredibly excited to write some tunes for it. I hope you enjoy and consider checking out the game's indiegogo!

Well...it's finally happening. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part 4 and 5 are some of my favorite things in all of anime and I was beyond excited to see the announcement of part 6. And then they unleashed some of Jolyne's Theme and HOO BOY. It's amazing (and I'm loving this trend where they say the name in the song). This was a fun one to cover. Here's my celebration of part 6 with my guitar cover (rock/metal cover) of Jolyne's Theme from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

This one is a bit different. The song itself is based on a scenario from my video game idea (which plenty of my original songs are from), but it's ALSO a song based on all of you. You've changed my life in so many ways, both on and off the internet. I can't thank you enough for believing in me, supporting me, being so kind and funny, etc. Thank you for helping remind me why I'm here. Maybe I was cut out for this whole thing after all. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for 300,000 subscribers. This is "Song That Plays When the Main Character Discovers the Power of Friendship". but it's also ust a little (new favorite) song of mine called "Keep Going". Simple, isn't it? (:

I wasn't even sure how to title this one, so I guess you're getting fast jazzy boss battle theme. I was inspired by quite a bit of things this time including: Cowboy Bebop, No More Heroes, Persona, Xenoblade Chronicles, etc. Just a fun little original that I wanted to finish and show you all!

Song That Plays When You Must Battle Your Cat Who Is Trying to Steal Your Pizza

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
What even is this. No need to ask actually because I clearly spent time on this and I'm also very happy with it! I also spent a lot of time laughing at it. We all know how cats are. We all know the absolute chaos they can exude at times. I wanted to make my own musical interpretation of a very specific scenario. Honestly, this series is a lot of fun so far and a good way to get some content out while working on commissions. I hope you enjoy "Song That Plays When You Must Battle Your Cat Who Is Trying to Steal Your Pizza"

It is what it is. I'm trying out a new series that has potential for me to put out more content while also balancing work with commissions. A "Song that plays when" series with different scenarios. I can see it leading to some pretty fun and potentially diverse song writing, so let's see how it goes! This one is "Song That Plays When You Drop Something but Catch It Midair". Hope you enjoy!

Making My Own Friday Night Funkin Song (Part 2)

Shady Cicada 2021-07-03 | -Support me on Patreon-
► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Friday Night Funkin'. It's still a good game. I didn't realize how many mods there were for this game now, but it's insane. The more I saw, the more it inspired me to follow some of your wishes and make another Friday Night Funkin'-styled song of my own. I went for more of a metal/video game vibe with this one, which is a bit more down my alley than the last song. I'm really happy with how this one came out! This is "Making My Own Friday Night Funkin' Song (Part 2)" I hope you enjoy (and have many good vibes to come)!

Breath of the Wild 2 Trailer Theme (Metal Guitar Cover) [2021]

Shady Cicada 2021-06-16 | -Support me on Patreon-
► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Breath of the Wild is my favorite game of all time and the Legend of Zelda is my favorite series ever (so you can only imagine how obsessed I am with that game). When the E3 2016 trailer for BOTW was shown, I covered it in maybe a day or two, solely because of how excited I was for it. Yesterday, I felt that energy again and I just had to put this little thing out for fun during my break. I hope you enjoy this metal cover of the trailer theme from Breath of the Wild 2 (obviously not the final name). Feel free to check out my streams on the ol' twitch if you wanna hear me endlessly talk about lore theories. Have a good one!

There are lots of things I was not expecting when making my last Friday Night Funkin' video. I was not expecting it to blow up so much and I DEFINITELY was not expecting such well done mod to be made of it (not to mention some other mods and fanart that came from all of this). It's stuff like this that makes me insanely happy to be where I am right now. Now...maybe it's time to start practicing. Shoutouts once again to "SirDusterBuster" and "Jorge_SunSpirit" on twitter for putting this mod together! This is "My FNF Song Was Modded Into Friday Night Funkin' (but I'm Bad At It)". Hope this holds you over until the next video!

Making a Song With Shonen Anime Battle Vibes

► Full song (Dragonblood) at - 7:13
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Shonen Anime Battle Vibes. You know the kind. You go through a huge buildup of emotional turmoil, watching all of the characters you love experience some sort of struggle, only for it to finally pay off in an emotionally charged fight. That's one of my favorite moods to write music for (as you may be able to tell with other songs on this channel). I was incredibly happy that "drawinglikeasir" commissioned me for this and I'm incredibly happy to show you a song I wrote awhile back to fit those very moods. This is "Making a Song With 'Shonen Anime Battle' Vibes". I hope you enjoy!

Making My Own Friday Night Funkin Song

Shady Cicada 2021-05-01 | -Support me on Patreon-
► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Friday Night Funkin'. It's a good game. I tried it on stream a little while back on hard mode and I absolutely loved it. Playing along to the hype music (seriously, it's all amazing) while chat cheered me on was a great experience. While playing, chat was making requests and jokes about me creating a song with the protagonist's voice. I was feeling inspired and wanted to do that anyway, so here I am doing the thing. As I am the thing do-er. I only had a night or so to make this, so I'd love to come back and try something with a bit more time. Really add all the bells and whistles! Also go play Friday Night Funkin' and check out their (rightfully successful) kickstarter. This is "Making My Own Friday Night Funkin' Song". I hope you enjoy!

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Please leave my brain, bendy notes. It's been like 30 hours of just...bendy notes. Will I ever be normal again? Yeah. Anyways, I've always wanted to cover the original Rainbow Road theme from Super Mario Kart. Hearing the remix in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe only tempted me to do it more. I'm still on a break, but I had a free day and made this in a few hours. Don't expect a masterpiece, but it was definitely a fun experience! So yeah, here's my quick cover of Rainbow Road SNES, specifically the Mario Kart 8 version. I hope you enjoy!

I Made My Own Ocarina of Time Theme

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
I haven't been able to get Ocarina of Time out of my head lately. I've been playing so much Breath of the Wild. At this point, I have 100%'d both normal and master mode. Yes, that means all korok seeds too. It truly is my favorite game :'D It's been making me want to return to the game that started this whole personal love for the series (well this game and Link's Awakening). I didn't have enough time to make a full video for this week due to commissions, but I figured why not play around with the Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask soundfont and make my own Ocarina Theme? I only had a few hours, but I decided to try and follow the philosophy that the Zelda 64 games followed when it came to playing a composing one of the themes. I'm pretty happy with what I got! Anyways, this is "I Made My Own Ocarina of Time Theme". I hope you enjoy!

I Made a Theme Song for a Weird OC and Realized It Was Just an Overwatch Character

I have no idea how I managed this...I know exactly how I managed this. I promised myself I'd do no research on the OC characters I'd make themes for. And I've never played Overwatch. I'm only aware of maybe 2-3 characters. Either way, this makes this segment a LOT more fun. It was originally meant to be part of the original OC theme video, but I guess I cut it out for this exact reason. Thanks, past Shady! So here is "I Made a Theme Song for a Weird OC and Realized It Was Just an Overwatch Character" A fun accident for a fun video :'D!

I was commissioned by some amazing lads to make an intro for their DnD channel! It was an incredibly fun experience putting this together and sharing it with them (their energy definitely kept me motivated). I'm super happy with how it came out and I decided to make a video for it! While it does have those "Persona Vibes", I also gave it that specific title to meme it up. But come on down and see how to be all funky and jazzy! This is "How to Give Your Song Persona Vibes". I hope you enjoy!

I made a very gentle song for Valentines

Shady Cicada 2021-02-14 | -Support me on Patreon-

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Gentle. It's a gentle song. Perfect for uh...love. (Okay it's legitimately one of my favorite songs I've written this year). Love and chocolates are pretty cool right? I like to get these special edition two-bite brownies every Valentine's because it has pink icing and a solid chocolate heart on top of it. Oh right I have to say things in this description so people can find me. Ahhh I'm here hey look. Alright that's enough. Now let me tell you about this other chocolate. Actually, I wanna sleep instead. So here's my video: "I made a very gentle song for Valentine's". I hope you enjoy!

I Made a Song Out of a Fans Screams

► Full Song (Ahh) - 4:21

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
I feel like I can't really word it better than the title. I made a song out of a fan's screams. This did indeed happen. I was on a Twitch friend's stream and one of her friends knew about me and my videos. They asked him to do a fanboy scream, I made a joke about turning the scream into a song, he did it, and now we're here. Did it end up being good? I don't know. Watch the thing and tell me if the thing satisfied you. I had a really fun time making this and I couldn't stop laughing and getting pumped over the screams turning into a legitimate song. So yeah, this is "I Made a Song Out of a Fan's Screams". Ominous, correct. I hope you enjoy!

I Recreated the Metal Theme From the Bowsers Fury Trailer

Shady Cicada 2021-01-16 | -Support me on Patreon-
► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon

═══════════════════════════════════════════════

I didn't have anything planned for this week due to work, but I was going to try recreating this song anyway. If you don't know, the Switch port of Super Mario 3D World finally showed off more of the new "Bowser's Fury" adventure. It looked amazing, but what really captured me was the final minute with this terrifying looking Bowser while awesome Metal/Choir music played. So yeah, I remade the Bowser's Fury theme as best as I could to learn from it. I also added my own liberties here and there. I cannot wait for this game now. 100%-ing it for a second time will be...something for sure :'D So here is "I Recreated the Metal Theme From the Bowser's Fury Trailer". I hope you enjoy!

This is how you make a song probably. I literally just...made a song. Only had about 2 hours to do so and I milked those 2 hours for everything they were worth. Also decided to give some lazy tips because honestly did you expect anything else when it came to tips on this channel :'D I ended up liking the song a lot, so this was a pretty fun video overall to make. It was just meant to be a filler thing, but it just became too much of a good time. So uh, enjoy!
