The artist that wrote the opening theme is "Eve" and honestly so much of his catalogue is this wildly impressive and almost all the videos are animation so there's always an interesting visual accompaniment too.
I guess I actually need to keep watching. Last night Hood JJK came up in my feed and I watched it and was blown away by how well it did compared to what I've seen of the series so far.
I’d highly recommend Spy x Family’s most recent ending, Todome no Ichigeki by Vaundy, featuring Cory Wong. Anything featuring Cory Wong is gonna be dope af, and Vaundy has quickly become one of my favorite artists for openings and endings
the man who wrote JJK's music is yoshimasa terui, he is part of the math rock band haisuinonasa and he is also credited for producing all of the music behind the math rock/pop idol group sora tob sakana
Yoshimasa Terui is the GOAT behind most of the soundtrack. He leads multiple bands such as siraph, haisuinonasa, sora tob sakana. freaking mind bending rhythms and minimalist/prog rock influences. he also wrote the opening theme for another anime called "Land of the Lustrous" which also has an amazing soundtrack that is sooooo worth exploring.
Not a drummer but it's my highlight of the song too. Those skipped beats are crazy with just listening, mad respect to drummers able to pull that kind of tricky hits.
As others have pointed out, we NEED a part 2 Not just for the Openings of season 2, but also the music from the movie JJK 0. Sakayume from King gnu is just chef's kiss
The "Specialz" theme for JJK season 2 goes hard and, just like every other JJK anime song (opening or closing) it has sooooooo many things going on.... Awesome video Charles!
the "anime sound" you are referring to is so real that when I first heard the jjk OP and got to that part I was like "OMG YES I LOVE WHEN THEY DO THAT" because it is so common and has been my idea of "japanese rock" but you know, everything happens subconsciously so now that you pointed it out it felt like all the excitement I feel every time in OPs/OSTs like my hero academia (peace sign) or fmab (hologram) and MANY others, makes sense and there is something specific that triggers the feeling. Thank you for this video! It was fascinating to watch and to understand what's going on, your passion for the subject is contagious :)
The first song was done by EVE who makes tons of incredible songs which all have beautiful music videos to go with them, some of my favorite music ever
If you enjoyed the Jujutsu Kaisen opening that much, its definitely worth checking out the artist behind it, Eve! He's got a ton of interesting music he makes besides just that opening that I think you might really enjoy if you like that merged prog/math rock + anime sound
There's an anime called Blood Blockade Battlefron that has a fantastic opening with great harmony, and a really fun outro too. The opening is called Hello, World! by Bump of Chicken
You are one of the reasons that I'll be getting back into music making/playing. I got super burned out in college and needed to take a break. But seeing you break down some of my favorite stuff tells me that I can do this to.
The constant "OH!! AUGH!!" throughout as you kept having realizations were so good 😂 I only wish that you had covered the endings from season 2. Especially "more than words" by Hitsujibungaku. Any plans for a part 2 for this video? The JJK namedrop alone is gonna draw a LOT of people!!
As a professional guitarist, I love your pianist-approach to a guitar written/driven song. If distortion is involved, no guitarist is thinking full harmony- only basic theory, licks, and shapes that can be done with efficiency (and sound cool).
Glad I found your account! I love the energy you bring to your videos. That said, if you haven't heard it, I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin Penkins pieces from the Made in Abyss soundtracks. Transcendance and Hanezeve, & VOH are some of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Too many masterpieces on the combined soundtracks to fit into a recommendation but those two are some of the most emotionally evocative pieces of music Ive ever found. The First Layer by him is also fun but not nearly as memorable.
Although the music by itself is great, the way the series uses it's own soundtrack is incredible. There are INCREDIBLE moments like the use of "Remember" from season 1, the use of "Delirious" and "Malevolent Shrine" from season 2 that take my breath away no matter how many time I've watched them. Also, the third opening "Ao no Sumika" is incredible.
If you like "No Hesitation" you need to check out Ichika Nito, he's a japanese solo guitarist and his playing is very similar. Also, for the heck of it: Marcin, Manuel Gardner Fernandes (and his band Unprocessed) and obviously Polyphia.
YES!! I am so glad that you are explaining the essentials of japanese music as we hear them, it serves as a great resource for those looking to study it.
Attack on Titan last episode music is amazing. The one at the ending credits. You can do a video about, maybe just not showing the scenes at ending to be spoiler free.
god the music is so so so good and I love listening to you break it down, now that you’ve pointed out that anime 2-5 I got giddy every time I heard it in the video lol that tritone substitution explanation at the end was great too ily charles
i love jjk music its so underated sadly my fav ost u didnt conclude because "Hidden Inventory" is just crazy. like the harmonic choices make me go crazy
YES!! I was just hoping for a Jujutsu Kaisen video. They have such beautiful piano songs, but also insane action. The piano tracks “If I am with you” and “Vague Reason” are 100% worth a listen. They’re simply incredible. The whole soundtrack is a masterpiece
13:10 as soon as you said that i knew EXACTLY wich ost you were talking about, i remember when the soundtrack album dropped on yt months later after season 2 came out, fell in love day 1 with no hesitation due to how good and hype it was and the fact that it wasn't even officially used yet made me so hype as a anime only watcher . (great video btw)
Hell yeah! Been waiting for this one and hope you do another vid covering more, especially character themes: Limitless Cursed Technique, Delirious, Todo, Megumi, and Nanamis themes are my faves
This soundtrack is SO SICK. What are your favorite parts from it?? And how do you think they might use "No Hesitation?"
It really does hype up the fights and the animation with that is crazy. Also, the intro song goes so hard!! 😩
Also, the first time I heard the outro song. I was like “Oh shit! this is GROOVY!”.
REACT TO THE ACE COMBAT OST
i love the malevolant shrine theme so much. The female vocals are crazy
PLEASE REACT TO IF I AM WITH YOU. It's also from jjk and my favorite all time piano piece
> If you and the piano fought, who would win?
Charles: Well, if the piano was fully out of tune, it might cause me a little trouble.
> But would you lose?
Charles: Nah, I'd play.

I was trying to think of a good song he could review but there were just too many good options.
It sounds a lot like Hiromi's music at times.

A JJK video?! Man, Charles is really playing to my people. We humbly accept this gift.
I guess I actually need to keep watching. Last night Hood JJK came up in my feed and I watched it and was blown away by how well it did compared to what I've seen of the series so far.
He did our boy Toji dirty
dog thats what im sayin
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
JJK's first ending is the only anime ending I watch literally every episode
Same
What about Wind by Akeboshi in Naruto?
I’d highly recommend Spy x Family’s most recent ending, Todome no Ichigeki by Vaundy, featuring Cory Wong. Anything featuring Cory Wong is gonna be dope af, and Vaundy has quickly become one of my favorite artists for openings and endings
gotta make good habit of watching all the songs in shows
people who've watched Beyond the Boundary also know about peak anime EDs

I'm going to kiss y😢
Love your videos!
We absolutely HAVE to see a review of the openings for season 2
I can not stress this enough, both openings are absolute bangers with awesome musicality
i need any reviews of king gnu here
Hoping it was gonna b here, but I’ll wait
Sukuna Domain Expansion theme finna be crazy
I need a Specialz review stat
i feel like anime music has broken this man. he has become more unhinged while listening and i'm all for it lol
the man who wrote JJK's music is yoshimasa terui, he is part of the math rock band haisuinonasa and he is also credited for producing all of the music behind the math rock/pop idol group sora tob sakana
He’s also apparently in a band called Siraph! According to Reddit, Haisuinonasa might have broken up, as the vocalist currently lives in Europe.
@@devinco1 Darn it, I knew about siraph but forgot to mention them haha, thanks
Isnt rhe opening done by eve tho?
Eve wrote this
The visuals and music of this are one of my favorites of the anime I’ve watched- so amazing
Yoshimasa Terui is the GOAT behind most of the soundtrack. He leads multiple bands such as siraph, haisuinonasa, sora tob sakana. freaking mind bending rhythms and minimalist/prog rock influences. he also wrote the opening theme for another anime called "Land of the Lustrous" which also has an amazing soundtrack that is sooooo worth exploring.
OH MY GOD. HE LEADS HAISUINONASA?? i freaking love their music!!! oh shit.. that makes SO much sense (●´∀｀●)ﾉ
His mind absolutely BREAKING over the first few seconds of EVE. I HIGHLY recommend listening to his music, it is so unique
we need a second part!
the Nanami's Theme is so beautifull!
You should do Doom Rip and Tear
Man, when Itadori uses Black Flash, that music was candy to my ears
REMEMBER
the more you do anime the more I enjoy your channel
bro can not comprehend the bangerness
Ur piano sounds amazing 😭😭
Jjk has incredible music. The openings are amazing but the actual original soundtrack is excellent as well. I’d love to see more Jjk analysis!
Power rock musician: Hell yeah, gettin' crazy
Charles Cornell: Oh, yes, what a beautiful melody
The full version of Eve's "Kaikai Kitan" (the S1 intro) is worth listening to, it's truly a masterpiece
That progression that's everywhere has that Japanese jazz feel.
Charles your enthusiasm is truly infectious. Love these gems you keep digging out! Just awesome music
As a drummer, the second verse of the first opening is my highlight of that track. The "rap" typing is just sublime.
Not a drummer but it's my highlight of the song too. Those skipped beats are crazy with just listening, mad respect to drummers able to pull that kind of tricky hits.
I thought at first it will be "you are my special"
No Hesitation slaps! Thanks for covering the songs and ost from JJK
As others have pointed out, we NEED a part 2
Not just for the Openings of season 2, but also the music from the movie JJK 0.
Sakayume from King gnu is just chef's kiss
The composer Yoshimasa Terui also wrote for a math rock band called "Sora tob sakana" and currently plays guitar in "siraph"
You're getting me excited for something I already love. lol
The "Specialz" theme for JJK season 2 goes hard and, just like every other JJK anime song (opening or closing) it has sooooooo many things going on.... Awesome video Charles!

The first song was done by EVE who makes tons of incredible songs which all have beautiful music videos to go with them, some of my favorite music ever
I would totally watch hour long full soundtrack reactions
Also the soundtrack “working overtime” is a crazy one
Charles discovers EVE is not what I was expecting today and I'm here for it big time
Omg I'm SO happy you chose to talk about No Hesitation as the last track! Such an insane track. Reminds me of Polyphia
So weird it never actually got used in the anime one of my fave tracks for sure and defo would have suited some fights
YOOOOOOOOOOOO MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS
yes
That season 1 closing song has been on my playlist since I watched episode 1 when it aired, such a vibe!
Lost in Paradise - ALI
ALI has some great songs - ‘Professionalism’ on The First Take is really good
If you enjoyed the Jujutsu Kaisen opening that much, its definitely worth checking out the artist behind it, Eve! He's got a ton of interesting music he makes besides just that opening that I think you might really enjoy if you like that merged prog/math rock + anime sound
JJK and music theory? We have been blessed
Just got into Jjk recently and I gotta say I love the video
He definitely made a binding vow with that piano
I wonder what the condition is? 😂
There's an anime called Blood Blockade Battlefron that has a fantastic opening with great harmony, and a really fun outro too. The opening is called Hello, World! by Bump of Chicken

I love this song so much, I liked the video before watching it.
The song REMEMBER from jjk is definitely my favorite by far. It was only used once and I fell in love with it
Yesss i love JJK music!! Thunderclap is my favorite OST
You are one of the reasons that I'll be getting back into music making/playing. I got super burned out in college and needed to take a break. But seeing you break down some of my favorite stuff tells me that I can do this to.
i could watch an hour of this easy
Lost In Paradise needed so much more time but I’m glad he’s covering JJK songs
The constant "OH!! AUGH!!" throughout as you kept having realizations were so good 😂 I only wish that you had covered the endings from season 2. Especially "more than words" by Hitsujibungaku. Any plans for a part 2 for this video? The JJK namedrop alone is gonna draw a LOT of people!!

The little manic laugh at 17:52 🤪😆😂 im SO here for it!
Charles we need more of this, season 2
Black Catcher is also pretty sick, from the anime Black Clover.
I really reccomand that (is probably my favourite anime op, hope you enjoy it)

Need a JJK s2 vid asap!!!!
Thanks for doing this, there aren't enough content creators for anime/j-rock music analysis
Would love to see a video on the band Eve, their dual guitar layers intro is insane
I started watching JJK a few weeks ago and knew that this opening theme was unreal musically. Great to see it broken down.

Season 2 the flashback arc intro is just the best
Red scale goes so hard that i have to start head banging any time i hear it
LETS GOOO EVE HIGHLIGHT
It's so good there's still so much you can pick apart. I thought for sure you'd go into the heat of Hanami vs Todo + Yuji

Also, for the heck of it: Marcin, Manuel Gardner Fernandes (and his band Unprocessed) and obviously Polyphia.

Eve is such a great band! There’s so much going on on every song that you need to listen carefully as many times as required
I love this song so much
Huge fan of JJK and I love your videos, and the music of Jujutsu kaisen never ceases to amaze me
THIS VIDEO CAME OUT AS I WAS ON VACATION AND IM BACK AND IM SO HAPPY YIPPEEE

Jujutsu Kaisen is so awesome, I love those slapping intro songs!
JJK! Let's goooooo!!!!
When you got to the OST song with the crazy subdivisions it reminded me of the band Battles.
I appreciate you going through some of my favorite anime music! THANK YOU!
If you like the Mathrock sound that the JJK soundtrack incorporates, I recommend checking out bands like Tricot and Origami JP.
Ugh yes I love tricot.
he did it. he finally fkn did it 😭
Japanese pop and chords are so like captivating and I love playing chords like that both on guitar and piano even building my own songs around them
