The thing that's most distressing about the keyboard solo not being filmed is that it's legit the greatest keyboard solo I've ever heard. Like bruh she KILLED that solo.. I've never heard someone make a keyboard sing like that

[robertog.]

2025 and I still can't believe the cameraman didnt record the best emotional keybord solo all time.

[iShamelessly]

It's 2023, and almost 10 years later I am still upset that we did not get to witness the keyboard player absolutely demolish her incredible solo during one of the best live renditions of this song to ever exist.

[ElectrikDave]

She played one of the most incredible keyboard solos I’ve ever heard and I can’t imagine how the camera operator couldn’t detect the source of the shreddage. Thus begins my tradition of expressing my disdain as many of you here have maintained. May there be a second angle discovered somewhere at some time.

[meddugnatosvadomarkonrad]

Isn't it amazing, the times we live in: an orchestra playing a video game soundtrack completely filling a symphony hall. A few decades ago they wouldn't have believed this is possible.

[limbobbins]

2:45 the guitar player: "Man she is nailing this solo, can't wait to see the video"

[ursascorner]

😢 I can't believe a key component of what made Chrono Trigger so unique recently passed. RIP Akira Toriyama and thank you for spreading so much joy in so many ways.

[izlopcast]

It's already 2022 and I still can't believe the cameraman didn't record the keyboard solo.

[roda.]

10 years later and it's baffling that a performance like this was filmed by such an amateur cameraman, who thought the keyboard solo was the guitarist's. Still, it's bone-chilling and eye-wetting. I absolutely love this performance.

[johnmontalbano]

It was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, imagine composing something that so many people love this much and then seeing people have this much fun playing it at this scale, good job Mitsuda

[tsungyutsai]

2:22 Crazy keyboard solo, must listen.

[ThunderlipsJoeYT]

As a fellow musician (though not in this league) i love seeing when musicians really genuinely enjoy the song they are playing. Many of us grew up with these songs having played the game so to hear it performed with so much heart is just the best kind of sweet.

[hepic]

Since there's no video proof to tell me otherwise I'm going to assume her and the keyboard started glowing and levitating with divine energy during the solo.

[rodrigomontoya]

its 2021 and i think we will all remember the global catastrophe that we witnessed.
the camera man not finding the keyboard player truly was a worldwide disaster.

[jjjj]

This is so sick.

And it drove me nuts that the camera focused on literally everyone *but* the keyboardist while she was absolutely shredding it at 2:24. 😳

Great work y'all.

EDIT: Here I am years later realizing that the camera person was just doing their best. Everybody makes mistakes. Whoever you are out there, camera person, I still love you. Thank you for being part of a beautiful concert.

[dont.be.evil.]

epic keyboard solo comes, films the guitarist >:

[Humbertvideos]

Cameraman's Diary:
Year 2020 and I still can't find the keyboardist.

[JonathanSilva-zkfr]

minhas Condolências ao sensei akira toriyama 鳥山明 fez parte dessa obra incrivel e lembraremos em nosso corações, descanse em paz mestre. from Brazil

[cory_l]

So just to clarify, it's 2024. We're still hating on the cameraman right?

[damienater]

Yasunori Mitsuda - A HERO who dared to ask for more from his company to compose this soundtrack and gave us more than we can ever have hoped to imagine. That’s courage. Mitsunobu Nakamura thats Dream work.
