Based on this + some of his other stuff, I'd say give this man a recording contract. NOW!

long time no see goku
The music was good, but how many takes did the video have?

[Goku7]

Long time no see, indeed.

I'm not sure.  If by "takes" you're refering to how many different tracks he recorded in his songs, then from what I've read from the Youtube comments spanning several of his videos, he does all the backing tracks himself in Sonar 5 or something, so it could be several takes (Bass, backup guitar, overdubs, drums, etc.).  The video itself looks continuous (minus the obvoius screen transitions, but theoretically they could have forced a single take into different concrete sections and added in those transitions), but then again, I'm an audio guy, not a video guy.

Ultimately, I can't know for sure because his site, http://www.kurikinton-fox.com/, is written in Japanese.  Seeing as how some of the people here know japanese, perhaps they can go to the site and shed some light on the situation?

Oh, and BTW:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVh0Ep8fDIs&mode=related&search=  FF7 Boss Theme cover, in case ya missed it on the "related movies" section.

Yes I been browsing his videos since the post.
Includes alot of FF related tracks, Evangleion, and some anime tracks too,
By the looks of things he does different takes for different instruments/banks/sets and puts them on top of the one audio composition,

You know, I came into this topic expecting a shit youtube video like that other sad excuse for a topic, and I can safely say that I was shown wrong. That brother has guitar skills. I particularly like that "OverDrive" song he composed himself, thats got some awesome skill.

[The Skillster]

wasnt that from Guilty Gear X or something. Im sure I saw that in the comments.

[Goku7]

Not entirely.  It is loosely based on "Blue Water, Blue Sky" from GGX, but apparently the main melody goes off entirely into other places that "Blue Water, Blue Sky" doesn't go.  It's more like the two songs share heavily similar rhythms.

Same here, the guy is very good and that mask i might get one.

[The Skillster]

Atleast 11.
There are 6 videos split by transitions.
Meaning he has made at least one error each of those times.
Thats 12.
Now, Let's say he didn't make an error doing the first take.
That is now 11.
But we can't be sure, since he may have made alot of mistakes trying to do some of them takes.

he has some original music too.
