Meta Knight's Revenge - Fusion Big Band version ft. Button Masher GRAMMY WINNER 2022

THIS ARRANGEMENT HAS JUST WON THE 2022 GRAMMY AWARD In the catgeory of "Best Arrangement - Instrumental or A Capella"! Huge thanks to everybody who listens and supports us!!

So STOKED to have the incredible composer/keyboard player Button Masher featured in this insane Jazz Fusion Big Band arrangement of Meta Knight's Revenge from Kirby Superstar! My personal favorite entry in the series. The original arrangement was done by Button Masher and he was generous enough to allow me to expand it for our full orchestra! There are some truly blazing horn lines in here on top of Button Mashers incredible re-harmonizations!!

Also just to say it, this video was recorded well over a year and a half ago well before the age of COVID! So no worries about safety

Lots of new videos coming your way so be sure to like and subscribe!

Congratulations on winning a Grammy for this cracking performance!

I’m pretty sure this shoots the “video game music isn’t real music” mentality in its face for good

[大仏-gw]

Congratulations on winning the Grammy Awards.
From Japanese Kirby fans.

[リコピクミン]

I am Japanese student. I'm not good at English, but I came to comment because I wanted to express my gratitude. I love Kirby. I'm glad that Kirby's songs can be heard by people all over the world in this way. Your arrangement is wonderful. I hope Kirby's song and you will be further evaluated by winning this award. I'm sorry for the poor English. I hope this arrangement will be awarded.

CONGRATS on the Grammy win! That is incredible, very well earned 🌟

Massive congrats on the Grammy nom today!!!

[tunnelcrawlerwaluigi]

A low quality picture of Meta Knight with a JPEG of a Grammy with the caption “lmao” sent me here and I couldn’t be happier

[chantolove]

I don’t know how a show like the Grammys actually pulled their head out of the ground and recognized something so cool, but I think that proves this is the season of Kirby

[ChristopherMoom]

I'm glad I can finally say that Meta Knight is canonically one of the greatest officially-recognized musical artists because he won a Grammy

In all seriousness, congratulations on winning a Grammy!!! This cover is genuinely incredible, it absolutely deserves the award! You love to see Kirby music get this kind of recognition!!

CONGRATS ON THE GRAMMY KINGS, QUEENS, & JAZZY FIENDS

[sheridanwands]

I never thought I'd see the day that a UNOFFICIAL KIRBY COVER would win an Grammy! This timelines had its up's and down's but I see this as an absolute win. Congratulations!

私は最近この動画を見つけた日本人の高校生です
I am Japanese senior high school student who found this arrangement in these days.


This movie became famous in Japan too because of Grammy.


I can't tell you my feeling well because I'm not good at speaking English.😭


However, I commented to tell you this arrangement is very good!


I'm happy to find this movie because I like video games.

[ninjacell]

I can't decide whether I like the stars on the harp strings or the Kirby sitting on the person's head the best

[おめが松]
