- Hey friends, here's my live* looping performance of the Ninja Gaiden stage 4-2 music: Ryu's Theme (originally composed by Keiji Yamagishi). This was a special request from a buddy of mine, we used to play Ninja Gaiden over and over again when we were growing up, in large part because we loved the music. Thanks for the suggestion Will!

Bet he has no problem getting everyone to show up for band practice
yeah, you'd think so, right? sigh.
Videogame music is what brings us together. Such a musical masterpiece.
The dragon burns bright
🤘
Insane talent. I clicked for the novelty but stayed for the genuine musical merit.
Haha, thank you! Novelty plus musical merit, that's gonna be my new slogan :)
The gameplay was actually rather cool. Exploiting birds momentum, waiting or rushing - the player is confident. The small mistakes make it look more natural, clearly this isn't a speedrunner's daily grind routine.
thank you for noticing! yeah nowhere need a speedrunner's level of skill, but I was obsessed with this game when I was a kid and played it on repeat. Came back to me pretty quick :)
I will now hear t his forever.
🙏🙏🙏
Muy interesante versión. Has conseguido que me dieran ganas de volver a jugar.
absolutely amazing. i wish i had the kind of talent you have, very impressive
thanks so much! lotttta practice
How does this only have 9.9k views? This was amazing.
thanks so much! ninja gaiden 2 coming soon...
okay. damn. it's been 30 years, and we're still getting incredible covers of its songs.
that's when you know a composer knocked it out of the park. Keiji Yamagishi is a legend.
and thank you!
You won´t find a single game from ps3,4,5, xbox.. that will do that, that´s the MAGIC of the nes soundtracks, this being one of the best.
I'm not sure who's is Greater, Ryu's determination or yours!
Haha, he did his best! That is a super tough level
1989 was a better time. Thanks for this
wasn't it? thanks for watching!!!
Dude, you deserve way more views. This is awesome.
thank you! Ninja Gaiden 2 coming soon
Why doesn't this have way more views..?
This is one of my all time favorite video game tunes and you've done it justice with this awesome version.
The ending brings back a lot of rage and sadness from playing this game though. xD
I eventually managed the challenge of beating the game without dying, which I still consider one of my proudest gaming achievements. Good times!
wow, without dying? i only managed it like, a year ago, and that was by the skin of my teeth!
so glad you enjoyed the video though, thanks for watching!
@@HarmonyWithHunter
Yeah, I was kinda obsessed with the game back then. xD
Currently I'm trying to improve my violin playing, I'm still a relative beginner though. But videos like these inspire me to put more practice sessions in. ^^
With you on that one 100% Hunter killed it.
@@neipas02 thank you!
That was awesome.
thank you so much!
nice👌
Dope
🙏
WOOOOWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Great work!!
thank you so much!
That ending was awesome, it takes a lot of guts to pull that off and you did it flawlessly.
thank you so much! there was much, much practicing and swearing involved...
My favorite cover of this and the work you put into the video as well. Damn!!
Thank you so much! Yeah, not the easiest thing to do, but totally worth it. Glad you enjoyed it!
Gloria Raynor-good comedy meets great execution!
haha, glad you liked it!
@@HarmonyWithHunter Yeah, your humor reminds us a bit of ours! We’re not afraid to say bad things about the games we like!
Ninja Gaiden 2 intro in violin please. Youre amazing
thanks so much! y'know, that might actually be doable in my looping setup. ima think on that one for a bit...
considering how tough Ninja Gaiden games are to beat, I will Survive seems proper. :'v
And we have a winner!!! Nicely done sir
Dude!!! Awesome
haha, thanks so much!
That's great!!
thank you!
... and then we spin.
😁
Maravilhoso
🤟
Share a download link in good quality this is amazing.
same direction to Ninja Gaiden as Carnegie Hall
if only....
@@HarmonyWithHunter practice, practice, practice :). Great video man, loved it.
This is AMAZING!!Not enough likes! You are incredible!!!
thank you so much!!!
Dammm is good 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!🙏
Well done! One of if not the favorite nes songs of mine!
thank you, yeah mine too!!!
The dialogue with Ryu was great! But man, what a heartbreak. I can't believe you did this - thanks Mike!!!
dude, hardest part of this video was trying to time my gameplay so that it felt natural when he died along with the music track. i STILL suck at this game.
also the music i guess. the music was also hard.
The intro of Ninja Gaiden 2 sounds to me like 2 violins, a bass and drums. Is very intense. Looks perfect for your setup.
Huh, that actually could work with my looping setup. Love that intro music too. Thanks for the suggestion!
Awesome ending! Just watched speedruns of this and ninja gaiden 2 earlier today.
Thanks Justin! Yeah, I'm nowhere near that skill level, there's a lot of dying when I play those games...
@@HarmonyWithHunter facts! Couldn't beat the final boss when I was younger!
Algorithm found me. Crazy the lack of push CZcams has given you. Subscribed and hoping for more video game music. Hopefully that takes off for you. This video should have 1M+ views. Would love the Ninja Gaiden theme. Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy, Zelda and Metroid are treasure troves that would showcase your skills and also celebrate the epic musical talent that went into originally composing with beeps and boops.
thank you so much! yeah i prob won't focus solely on video game music, but I looove video games, and I'm definitely gonna do more. Ninja Gaiden 2 theme is already filmed actually, that'll be coming out next month and I'll put a link for that in this video
Sounds good
thank you!
What an amazing and inspiring rendition! Thank you!!
thanks for watching!
Amazing performance 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh that @#$!ing stage!!! So many deaths! If this were accurate, it would be 30 loops of death jingle with the main theme never getting past the first eight bars.
yeah, this game was always crazy hard. i finally beat it this year, but on an emulator and saving/loading the whole time. doubt i could ever beat up straight up
I will survive…
hey hey...
@@HarmonyWithHunter I started dyin lol
This is legit.
thanks man!
i got a bit confused by the phrasing "ryu's theme". i was thinking of sf2 ryu and not ninja gaiden ryu.....
unbreakable determination.
i ended up enjoying it and giving it a thumbs up.
glad you enjoyed it! ninja gaiden 2 is on the way...
👍💥💯❤✌🤟 wonderful, ninja guiden 1989 😢
Thank you so much!!! What a great game, right?
