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.
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
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.
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"
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!
@@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.
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.
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!
Это просто шедевр!!!! Сама пианистка, но каждый раз поражаюсь таланту этого человека. Насколько безграничны его возможности. Такому нельзя научиться, такими только рождаются!!!!! Браво!!!!
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
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.
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
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. :)
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
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
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.
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'
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".
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
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
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!
Thanks for the video. I've discovered you through your old video. I've watched again SAO not a long time ago and this song was staying in my mind. It's one of my favorite. The arangements you made on it are just amazing. I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put in everything, the result is beautiful. Know that you're giving me hapiness everytime I'm listening this song. Again, thanks a lot for that
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!!
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 :)
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.

Yuki Kajiura is a goddess...Thanks for this arrangement :D

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
You are literally playing every theme I’ve always wanted you to play. Very well done as always.
First and only Anime I’ve ever seen, I would listen to the music for hours.
Animenz: Uploads this
Entire Fandom.: Inner Kirito awakens
Liking this video in a Starburst Streak fashion
woah a remake of this legendary arrangement. Brilliant!
Why no one talk about this sooo sweet and beautiful ending of the cover T-T
So good interpretation 👌

must admit it can be cheesy at times, but the ending of Season 2 and Season 3 is just great 😂
