Swordland is probably one of the most iconic soundtracks from the Sword Art Online series and it's still being used in important key moments in the currently airing SAO Alicization Anime series. It's one of my favorite compositions from Yuki Kajiura, mainly because of the brilliant harmonic progression in the majestic main theme.
I have already uploaded a piano arrangement of this main theme on my TH-cam Channel 6 years ago, which has become very popular in the following years. Also, did you know that both me, Theishter and Kyle Landry were uploading Swordland within one week, unbeknownst to each other? It was one of the craziest coincidences I have ever witnessed and it was really fun to compare the different piano cover versions from the three of us.
However, after a few years my Swordland video has mysteriously become unsearchable on TH-cam. When you are looking up "swordland piano" in the TH-cam search bar, my video will simply not appear even until today. This is the only video from my 170+ uploads which has become completely "invisible" on TH-cam. That's why I decided to finally re-record it for this weeks upload to make it easier to find.
This arrangement is almost exactly the same as the 2014 piano version, and the only difference is the upgraded sound quality (and the added Glissando at the end). The most difficult part to play is still the left hand in 00:21 because you need both stamina and rhythmic precision to endure these seemingly endless arpeggio waves.
The right hand octave jumping in 02:38 is a technique I really favored during my 2013-2015 arrangement style, because I wanted to maximize the volume of the piano sound. I also used this technique in my piano arrangement for "Attack on Titan" OST as well during the climax (see link below). Nowadays, I would rather use scales or rhythmic variations to fill in the gaps between the melodies instead of octave jumps.
Alright, that's it for this week's upload! I hope this Swordland video will stay visible in the TH-cam search from now on and people can find it more easily.
Next week I am going to upload one of my favorite songs from Eir Aoi, look forward to it!
See you next time!

Ever since i heard of that i could never unhear it again
We only have tea in here.....
Also pls do howl's moving castle or ring of fortune.
@としおだお 結構有名な空耳です、だいたい 2:25 辺りで
So you are the piano beater everyone is talking about...
Oh hello there ! Love your covers man, keep up your good work on your channel ! 🔥🔥
Yesn't
Nice channel bro continue on your path and one day you'll be the beater yourself :D
This man is in the assault team
Ig he is

Count me in.
There's no way one can possibly compare with animenz, he's way too good

SAO Alicization: War of the Underworld Spoilers - Episode 18
How. How did you know?!
He's back
Hazard Meo can’t wait honestly. It was nice seeing how he wasn’t so overpowered (look at Leefa to compare). It is also funny to think that he saved 3 different Vr worlds before coming to this one. Hope he can “save” this one too.
He actually did LMAO
No! DONT SPOIL!!!
SAO - SWORLAND is, I believe, the most legendary anime song of all time. It represents everything and anything one might describe using words...
It shows all the colours of anime. It shows sadness. It shows courage. It shows love, pain and despair. The sound makes you visualise darkness and light. It's a journey from A to Z in the world of anime and then... where words fail to convert to us the emotions... the song still does...
And every single one of those emotions is transferred to us by the most amazing piano cover there is... created by the greatest man to ever pick up a piano...
Animenz, you're the greatest of all time.
Thank you.
Well said my friend, we need more people like you.
Artful description, its main verse grips me every time I hear it. The rush of emotions just roll over you.
its definetely up there on the best OSTs/OPs but in my opinion a cruel angels thesis is the pinnacle of anime music, after that, i agree swordland is legendary too
Holy Moley! Animenz can pick up a piano???
@@vinceheins meh swordland is also pinnacle
Swordland causes too much trouble for Animenz. First time it’s nowhere to be found by searching, 6 years later it has premiered video problem. Third times the charm he will finally execute Starburst Stream fast enough 😂❤️ Love your vids Animenz, keep it up!
First I noticed is how his hands has become more... "rigged" than 6 years ago. Proof that he never stops improving and honing his godly piano skills
Yep, third time’s a charm!
I noticed that his arm texture changed just like texture packs xD 🤣🤣
@@telemaque1420 Personally, I think fantasie impromptu by Chopin is way easier that this piece.
I am currently practicing this piece and it takes a lot more than fantasie impromptu for sure.
@Télémaque all of his sheets are on sheethost. His most recent ones though are sometimes just transcribed by others as TH-cam videos
What a coincidence that this video was posted today, now that we are literally about to see Kirito wake up, and mostly every SAO game shows one thing "Kirito's Resurrection Campaign"
Yeah, what a crazy coincidence, haha
System Call!
Generate Musical Element!
Piano Shape!
DISCHARGE!!
This looks more like Perfect Weapon Control Art
@@Dudi4PoLFr Animenz - More like perfect piano control art
Pretty sure he's from the real world, he can just will the music into existence with his dark aura energies from his converted account XD
god, i like this command spell
Stay cool Kirito
The dislikes are from the Laughing Coffin
There is only 1 dislike .
NVM i just realised laughing coffin is now a one man guild
There is only one of them here so far. Gotta hunt him down
Must be PoH
@@AndyRahman hoping he gets destroyed after today's episode >=]
Although we would just like a cup of laughing coffee from Animenz's Piano Sheet, unfortunately, Laughing Coffin usually interferes with our poor musical hobbies.
2:09 That gave me major chills
😂
Antagonist: *Is winning*
Also antagonist when they hear this music: No, that’s not possible!
Black Swordsman: *Awakens*
Didn't know they used swordland in berserk
@@user-sr7kk6yh4r when berserk finally gets a faithful anime adaptation they better have something as good as or better than this theme for guts
To all of the people saying first, I have a blue shell
I get it, u get a like
Take my like and get out lmao
Clever
gettem
I like it, you now have my like
This is literally the only way that I ever want this song to be played from now on.
I can feel it, everything is back, the black swordman, the star burst is all back
It’s star burst stream
EUGEO, DONT DIE ON ME! EUGEO!
概要欄が最近日本語も対応してるのが嬉しい
Oh boy, this brings back so many memories! Sword Art Online was my very first anime, so it has special place in heart, along with this arrangement, the very first Animenz arrangent I actually managed to learn. It felt like such a big accomplishment at the time, I was ecstatic when I managed to stumble my way through the entire piece for the first time.
Thank you for uploading this song. This was perhaps the first song that got me subscribed to your channel and it is definitely a memorable one for me.
I remember when you and Theishter came to Perth, Australia for the Live Australia / NZ 2018 Tour, on the day before the performance, we had a masterclass at one of the local schools. At the end of the class, we (the students) got a chance to pick some songs so that either you or Theishter can play for us. And I nominated Swordland, and you gladly played it less than a meter away from me. I couldn’t have asked for more and this truly made my day and I will forever remember it. Until today, I am still practising this song, definitely doesn't sound not as good as you (and will never be), but this brings me back memories.
Keep up with the good work!
Ah! I still remember, someone did indeed requested Swordland back then in that masterclass. So it was you! Good choice 👍
FINALLY, a copy of this that actually shows up in the search engine.
This song always makes me cry because of all the memories of the games and the shows
Just how is this even PHYSICALLY possible to play this???? Its literally too unreal imma faint :)
Это просто шедевр!!!! Сама пианистка, но каждый раз поражаюсь таланту этого человека. Насколько безграничны его возможности. Такому нельзя научиться, такими только рождаются!!!!! Браво!!!!
Top Tier Man is back
kinda unrelated but i've been seeing a lot of changes in his hands since march
they seem more and more gaunt, i wonder if he's losing weight
Who came here after the season ended ? I REPEAT BOYS? WHO LOVE SAO ?
Sao is A-MA-ZING 😭😭😭
must admit it can be cheesy at times, but the ending of Season 2 and Season 3 is just great 😂
Meeee
@@MuhammadKharismawan need to listen to them 👀
I love SAO hehe.
Sword land! Wow great to see this again, this piece has quite a legacy for you I guess! Besides the story you put in the description, I remember how you injured your hand at the time practicing this, and the large amount of anticipation both the viewers and you had at the time hoping it would be a smooth recovery to complete the song and finally upload it and return to playing. Ill never forget the video you uploaded of your dad recording you playing sword land again for the first time on the upright piano in your house and the big sigh of relief at the end as you looked at your hand! Haha 👌😎👏 good memories!
This video, recorded on my old upright piano is still in my TH-cam channel, but set to private. I also remember this moment, haha. My left hand couldn’t handle the Arpeggio waves back then
@@Animenzzz i remember being so relieved when you were able to return healthily aswell! haha and yeah i actually listen to that video quite often! haha i really loved the sound of your upright in that video, it's always been a favourite of mine.
Pianists doing anime covers : *these are so hard*
Animenz : allow me to introduce myself
this is such an underrated piece, this is so beautiful fr
I can hear "*COFFEE SODA COFFEE SODA GIVE ME SOMETHIN'
I can't unheard this. I hate you xD
i was searching for this comment (or make one myself)
I actually hoped animenz would remaster some of his old performances with his better equipment now so this awesome
Yes he said he will do unravel too
Swapnil ooh really? That’s awesome I can’t wait for that
Swapnil Source?
I really want a kuusou mesorogiwi...
Really? I hope he makes a remaster of Hikari no Senritsu
Idk why people are hating on this song, at first i thought the song wasn’t that good as well (comparing to “idol”) but after listening to it for 2 to 3 more replays it started to grow on me and imo if you didn’t like the song at first you should give it another chance
Meanwhile me, still looking for H sharp on the piano.
squidylamaface lmao
Well im looking for an i Flat.
If you're getting musical education in Germany, you'll find it pretty quick. Don't ask me why, but Germans refer to the B as "H" , and to B flat as "b".
@@thegame136 the Czechs have an H too
@@thegame136 oh i see xD i don't really know they have different systems.
Esto es literalmente musica para mis oídos, el pianista es básicamente es un genio tocando de esa manera, amo su trabajo ❤❤
Si el tipo más capo salió pa tocar
Been practicing with your sheet music of this cover for a year now, I just jumped straight at it being a newbie and now can play almost the whole song. Thank you for making such a beautiful and powerful arrangement in piano. :)
You WHAT- dude how come you didn't fall in despair or sth. What a madladdd
何?!
Such a masterpiece. And finally listed lol. SAO will always be my favourite anime and the soundtrack, especially this song, is epic and your arrangement is fantastic
謝謝a叔彈這首對我意義重大的曲子，真的很好聽QAQ
I appreciate that you played this song which means a lot to me!!😭
I kid you not, I literally got shivers listening to this
Those arpeggios are astounding,the speed and everything,its went so perfectly,i heard davie504 was taking a challenge over the pianist gang,you're our only trump card,Protect Us Animez
Im just so happy that you know of Kyle Landry
Nostalgia level: 100000000000000000
Yuki Kajiura is a goddess...Thanks for this arrangement :D
First and only Anime I’ve ever seen, I would listen to the music for hours.
honestly, you make every song sound so good on the piano.
Animenz: Uploads this
Entire Fandom.: Inner Kirito awakens
Liking this video in a Starburst Streak fashion
We are crazy finally going to get the SAO remake with a lot more details that we all wanted❤️❤️❤️
すごい綺麗な音ですね。聴き入っちゃう
You can hear Coffee Soda, even in Animenz's Cover. U can't unhear Coffee Soda.
Edit: 2:25 Start of Coffee Soda
This man can play a whole orchestra with the piano.
I could swear 2:25 I hear full orchestra
Ah, re-upload, then I shall drop another comment for the algorithm! :salute:
Are you from Eli’s discord server???? Your name is really familiar haha
@@marcoi9038 yeah, I'm also on Eli's server^^
come back and repeat for SAOP
Gotta be hella fast to experience the godly powers of Animenz's hands
SAOでソードランドが流れた瞬間鳥肌たつ
Watching SAO for the first time. Something that really caught me off guard so far, is how they use this soundtrack a lot in intense fights. I really like the part at 1:10 and I finally found this soundtrack on yt.
So far, the show has been great and I hope it'll stay this way.
P.s. it is funny how I decided to watch it in 2022 not knowing that the story takes place in 2022.
I was genuinely surprised how I accidentally timed it right.
Also... considering that this show came out in 2012, I can see what the developers were trying to foreshadow and see whether they were right or not.
So basically, I am able to have kind of a 'live experience'
woah a remake of this legendary arrangement. Brilliant!
Thank you Animenz, I waited this re-mastered version for a long time.
When this played during the Incarnation of the Radius fight bro, chills the whole time.
Why no one talk about this sooo sweet and beautiful ending of the cover T-T
So good interpretation 👌
From year to year I listen this amazing performance and still consider it the best one.
This piece was so brilliantly written. The modulation into the main theme and in the theme is so perfectly designed for a series; it can be used for extended scenes without ever feeling repetitive
I need to say that WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS VERSION! AWESOME WORK BRO!!!!
One of, if not my all time favourite anime soundtracks! Thank you
Honestly, shit on SAO and my opinion all u like, but SAO will always be 1 of the most important anime in my life. It was 1 of the first few anime i ever finished, and without it and a few others, idk where i’d be today on the anime world. I personally love the characters and the scenes where Kirito goes epic gamer moment and his eyes turn yellow. Thank u, SAO. And thank u, Animenz for this amazing cover!
So glad you uploaded a version with better audio!!! I only listen to your videos with my best headphones to get the full experience.
You are literally playing every theme I’ve always wanted you to play. Very well done as always.
好棒～直接噴眼淚不誇張！這要tag由紀老師來看了吧！XD
FINALY THE LEGENDARY UPLOAD IS BACK I NEVER DOUBTED THE ORACLE
The sound quality is unmatched and so beautiful that the old video did not capture it well, probably due to bad mic quality (just listen to those bass chords and articulated arpeggios).
Thanks for reuploading this masterpiece.
hey... i cannot bow deep enough to you and @Pan Piano. you both bring music to life -.- thanks for sharing it.
Asuna, Sinon, Leafa : Kirito, wake up.
Kirito : . . .
Eugeo : Kirito, its the time.
Kirito : Oh, yeah i heard Animenz already released the video, so lets get it on!!
Wowww!!! That's impressive.
This makes me want to rewatch sao again
probably one of, if not the best cover on youtube. quality is very good and I liked every second.
Can't force myself to watch Sao anymore, but the music, of course I will still listen to it, forever. Thanks for this amazing cover ❤️
to hear this legendary piece again! how much we've grown since then.. i remember practicing this piece for around 100 hours and never came to refinement level i wanted. one of the most EPIC arrangements you made. long live animenz
This is so beautiful, I cant stop watching this
I just started watching SAO and I'm only on episode 10 or 11 but I've literally fell in love with this song from it!!!!!!!!! OMG I love it!!!!!!!
I’m not even surprised at this point. You simply know your stuff.
You first uploaded your Swordland cover when I first watched SAO and I decided to watch it a second time and now your upload your new cover while i'm rewatching the show this is amazing! Amazing cover
Uses dual wielding skill in a whole different level!
Yuuki will remain in our hearts.
You can say what you like about sao. Im not a huge fan myself. But the soundtrack is spectrcular
ピアノバージョンめっちゃ好きです
it's been a long time !!! I LOVE THIS THEME!!
Ich liebe dieses Theme.
I always got goosebumps whenever hear this main theme
I just finished watching the series and your interpretation of this song and your playing skills are just unbelievable.
One of the best arrangments yet. Amazing work
Music can raise someone's mood, get them excited, or make them calm and relaxed. Music also - and this is important - allows us to feel nearly or possibly all emotions that we experience in our lives. ... It is an important part of their lives and fills a need or an urge to create music.
You're probably the Kirito of all piano players. I love it.
The left hand at 0:21 is absolutely majestic
Quite an amazing performance of this superb SAO theme.
This theme always gave me chills.. O does your playing. Hats off dude. The soft hands after the gliassando killed me 😅
I love it! So much nostalgia, I remember back when you uploaded the original video...
This arrangement is so much cleaner compared to the first version which was already great
Can’t stop watching your videos... I’m in love with those hands and your music!
Very smooth as always! I always playing your old Swordland when facing a hard time or need a focus on work.
Remembering that time when I watched S1.
Such beauty and emotion in your play style. 😌
great, now i'm early and it's my chance to tell you that this and all your other arrangements are super magnificent! keep it up, hopefully you see this :)
This song is sponsored by the shutdown of Kissanime.
R.I.P
wtf i was wondering why nothing would load and i couldn’t watch anything
DAMMIT, do you have other websites?
kickassanime is a really good alternative
Not really try kissanime.nz but DON’T use TH-cam’s Safari, I haven’t tried it but I don’t want to find out. And if it doesn’t load it is probably your DNS that is preventing you from loading the site, so use a free VPN app that is on Apple Store called VPN-Super Unlimited Proxy.
@@insightingKissanime is down in asia too
This brought a smile to my face, so many memories
2:25 - 2:56 hit different
I was watching this when taking a dump, it was the longest dump ever
