"Pokemon Center", but it's in All 12 Keys
1,815Our SECOND "cover" of the "Pokemon Center" theme from the Pokemon games (originally gen 2 and gen 5)... but going up a half step every chorus. The two versions of Pokemon Center that we used were originally composed by Go Ichinose.
Now I'll admit, this one's a bit silly, but hear us out... Pokemon Center, in all 12 keys. I don't really know exactly why we decided to do this, but Ben and I have played this song so much and I was thinking of uploading a duo version of it. However... I had the dumb idea of saying, "let's play it in all 12 keys, just for fun." So, it starts off in D major, then after making our way around to C#/Db, we play the melody out in D one time (Johto), then modulate up to F for the last time (Unova). Believe it or not, we only did ONE take of this - now, it wasn't for any colorful story perks, no; it was because by the end of the take, we were too exhausted to do another one... Either way, we hope you have as much fun with this as we did making it!
What other song should we do in all 12 keys? Or should we just stop before this gets out of hand...
*we should also note that there are some last minute changes we made to the original video at 4am before uploading it...
==============================
We're back at it again! This series of videos is a special look back in time to the roots of the J-MUSIC idea - the duo of Pat and Ben. With Ben now moving primarily to accordion, the range of sounds has completely shifted, allowing for new acoustic soundscapes that have never been explored like this in J-Pop! We're always looking for new ideas to explore, so if you like this combination, be sure to let us know what kinds of songs you'd like to hear us do like this in the future!
Patrick Bartley - Alto Sax
