Aimer songs are always something special to me, so I was thinking for a long time how to make the piano sound even powerful than ever. This piano arrangement was so close to being dropped multiple times, because I was trapped in my own perfectionism again, trying to meet the expectations of everyone. I am glad I sticked to the end and finished this arrangement after all. Thank you everyone for listening!
As a non-classical pianist myself, the techniques you employ in every video never cease to amaze. Dual voicing, LH drum beats, and the "note fade-out" technique at 6:20, amazing! I wish my channel can grow to the likes of yours one day. Of course, the nagging whispers of perfectionism will always persist, but the cheers and support from fans like us will always come out louder. Even if you aren't satisfied with some of your works, we can tell that you poured your heart into it!
I couldn't make it to watch this video live this time, but whatever. Thanks to this song, I could remind how I felt when I watched this episode for the first time. I was totally moved by your arrangement. Thanks, Animenz. Also I was very surprised to your technic. wow.... it was just.. I find this arrangement more difficult than that of tokyo ghoul. You must have put your whole passion and soul. Thank you so much for your effort and such a great play!
still remember the first time i listen to you two, 7 years ago, when i still 12 year old kid:)) Good old day!! P/s: silly me! wish u two can climp to the top again!! THE KINGS RETURN:))
This is, without a doubt, one of the best arrangement you've upload this year yet. I've tried to arranged this piece myself in the past, so I can relate so much to your struggle. This song repetition is very hard to balance in the piano, and Aimer's voice is just so strong that without a proper consideration, a mere piano solo won't do it justice at all. As someone who has tried and failed to make his own version satisfying, I know full well how much hard work has went behind the creation this masterpiece, it is simply inspiring. There is so many lovely attention to details that makes the arrangement sounds very polish : The varying LH rhythm at 0:37 gives the piece a very proper start and buildup, the double melody at 0:50 is very well implemented. The dreamlike passage at 1:37 to brilliantly transition to second verse. The second verse variation just sounds so natural and refreshing. My personal favorite part is definitely the bridge and final chorus build up (2:46 - 4:15). It was simply phenomenal. The attention to detail at the first part giving, the gradual buildup to a powerful transition, the soft chorus melody as a buildup. This part gives me the feeling just like in an original song. The magical moment that tells you that "no matter what happen, you will be alright" I haven't experienced this feeling in a very long time. And of course, how can we forgot the ending. That is as you said, it is one of the most powerful and heart-wrenching passage from you since Brave Shine in my opinion, the powerful runs that leads to one last soft chorus melody before the song dying down, it allows me to imagine the character that is on his last leg, breathing his last breath, but he won't back down from this battle, he won't give up, no matter what. Do you remember in one of our conversation that you suggested me that "the way to motivate yourselves is to watch other people and believe that you can do it someday"? Well, that person for me is you Animenz. The person who time and time exceed my expectation and show me the new possibility, the one who always stir up emotions and inspirations within me to keep going with everyone of your masterpiece. I have to thank you once again with this video, you've made my day. Absolutely well-done man. Your hard work is well worth it! hopefully someday, I will be good enough to try arranging this song again, but until then, I can at least believe that it is possible, since you have proved it to me that it is. -CSMPiano

Thanks for the feedback, CSM! Indeed, the repetitions in the original song was the biggest challenge, since it only works with Aimer's powerful vocals being added. But for a piano solo piece, I had to take a different approach and structure the piano arrangement in way, which makes it feel exciting from start to finish. Hard work always pays off (eventually), remember this my friend!
I love 2:46 part! This music keeps going forward 3:44, I can feel the advancement of emotions. And this high point makes me goose bumps! Thank you for your arrangement👏🏻

I don't watch a lot of anime (all I know is Naruto and One Piece), so I've never heard this song before. I'm also not a pianist, I don't play any instrument, so I can't explain what I'm thinking in the "right" way, but I must say, I really enjoyed the way you play this song. Just hearing the piano sounds gave me goosebumps without even knowing the lyrics. I heard the original song and read the lyrics after watching your cover, and I have to say, you beautifully translated the music into your arrangement and really managed to capture the emotions of this song amazingly, just like the singer. That's why I love hearing you play, your arrangements are marvelous, you make me like lots of Anime songs even though I've never heard the original. I have been following your channel since 2014, and you never cease to amaze me. Also, I think this is my first time writing a comment, all this time I only gave a thumbs up on your videos hehe😉
I usually wait until the video premieres to leave a comment, but just wanted to say I am HYPED for this one. EDIT: can confirm, exceeded all expectations. Arrangement thoughts: Wow. I can really tell how much arranging energy you put into varying the techniques and phrasing in this song. It started off soft and simple. But the second the octave jumps came in at 3:43, i instantly felt the nostalgic Animenz energy and style come rushing back until the end of the song. I got chills at that moment. The descending sixths at 4:51 reminded me of the run at the end of the bridge of your Sayonara Memories cover (albeit more spaced out pattern). The jazzy grace note teased at 5:13 led into a beautiful jazzy closing cadenza. And then the classical style descending run at 5:39 brought back the classical feel from your older works. Overall, a fantastic and complete work. Great job! The dynamic control is also quite exceptional on this particular cover. There is a clear distinction between the nuanced touch of the pianos and the forceful energy on the fortes, especially the descending run at 3:40. The evenness on that run really took me by surprise. As always, thank you for sharing your wonderful arrangement and performance.
Last Stardust is indeed a mix of everything I have learned so far as an Arranger! Both the "early" Animenz with the classical music references, the "jazz" decorations at the end, as well as the current "improvisational style", they are all included in this arrangement. Thanks for your feedback!
I absolutely loved SLS musics rendtion of this and I'm so hyped to see what Animenz does with this. Aimer's one of my favorite artists of all time, and this song really hits you good
This is the first time i showed up to a premier of a video and omg it felt like a concert. Got my heart pumping Animenz as always! Can't wait for the next one!!!
This is honestly my favourite piano arrangement by Animenz. As a kid, I was not interested in piano at all. I would only practice enough times for the "exams" because my mother was the one who wanted me to learn the piano. Eventually I gave up piano after I entered high school. I have always been an anime fan and listening to a variety of Anisongs. When I saw Animenz's arrangement of my favourite song, Last Stardust, I decided I should give it a shot. I never thought I would pick up piano again but hey XD My basics were really bad owing to the fact that I seldom practiced my scales and arpeggios when I was young and now this is haunting me again XD Until now, I have been practicing every day for 1.5 months and I can finally reach full speed except for a few parts. The process was very tough but I enjoyed it very much. I just want to say thank you to Animenz for making me fall in love with piano! With more practice, I hope I could play this song entirely in the near future :D
You know, despite how much enjoyment and pleasure Animenz brings to us, I think Animenz is the one experiencing the most joy and pleasure. Whilst we appreciate beautiful playing, he is at its creation.
Listening to your music several times and practicing the sheet music steadily Thank you for having increased the fun in my daily life. I am also looking forward to this video
Thank you Animenz I can see how much effort you showed in this cover. The small and big details was truely shown in the video. Your effort made you shine better than ever.
man this is nothing short of incredible, it just has so much feeling in the music i find myself coming back and listening to this at least a couple times a week
It's amazing how I feel like I can hear Aimer's vocals in your arrangement, all the words the way she sang it in the original piece, even though this is an instrumental. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into doing right by this amazing song!
Holy shiiiiiiiit!!! Now that's a top tier arrangement right here!!! :D Seriously there is so much variation in the techniques... man, this is so next level!
Hey boss. You know, Fate has a very special place in my heart, especially UBW, and as an Aimer addict I'm really glad you provided us with such masterful arrangements of Brave Shine & Last Stardust. In fact, even as an experienced pianist, I've been struggling for a long time over your Brave Shine arrangement, and I'm finally getting close to the "vaguely sounds like music" stage. I still have a long way to go, but giving it all on the chorus really gives me chills over the keyboard. You've been spoiling us over the past few weeks with fantastic arrangements of legendary songs. The gift of sheets you used to offer us is one that was so miraculous, it is hard not to feel a spark of frustration when it gets taken from us. Of course, I'm sure you know this, and likely are trying to find a solution. It is not a complaint; being able to listen to and enjoy your play for free is already much more than we could ask. Just know that as long as anime fans exist, you will have followers willing to grind the hell out of your supremely difficult arrangements, and who will be grateful forever of getting a challenge combining their love of anime, music and piano. You and marasy are the reasons why I got back to piano seriously after the higher-education induced break. Thank you forever, and keep being awesome. Peace.
Such a lovely cover, Animenz!!! Brought me right back into the world of Fate, if only for a moment. Once the world returns to normal, please come to Vancouver again!! Id love to see you perform for the 3rd time 🤩
Well done mate, good on you. As a fledgeling composer/arranger, seeing what may result from pushing past the general tedium and difficulty of arranging invigorates me to see that road to its conclusion. Thank you.
Brave Shine and Last Stardust were the first Aimer songs I've ever listened to. They were so powerful and I loved them so much that I started listening to every Aimer song, anime songs or not. It's been a couple years since I consider Aimer my favourite singer and I love everything she sings, but Last Stardust is still one of my favourites. I also happen to love Piano and your arrengements. This one hit me so hard that it didn't take long for the years to start to come. By the end my eyes were red and aching. I guess it was out of pure love for this song and specially your arrengement. Aimer's voice is strong and deep yes. This arrengement is, too. Thank you.
been a fan since forever but i just wanted to say i LOVE your new composing style!!!!!!!!!!!! especially in this video and this game 2021. keep it up. thank you for being an inspiration
This is indeed very beautiful. You make this much more enjoyable for me (personally) when I see that different kinds of techniques are added into the playing in order to play all parts of the song out. That's one of the biggest things I absolutely love about you when you transcribe different kinds of anime songs I like into piano, so that one day, when I'm good enough, I can actually learn the and right now, listen to them. Animenz, thank you again, and I hope I will see you soon! :D
As a perfectionist myself, I know that when you really want to give your best into a creation, you need to take your time with it. I'm glad you took your time to polish this song as much as possible before uploading it. It really shows your whole technique and skills, without foreshadowing the feelings. Thank you for this arrangment ;n;
I am two weeks late, so chances are this comment won't live to see Animenz's reply, but I figured I had better say it anyway. As I've continued learned this arrangement, the amount of detail put into each note and chord is simply STUNNING, to say the least. I'm not by any means an anime fan, but ever since I discovered your channel three years ago I've been constantly enveloped in your music. and I can't seem to pull away from it either ;) this is simply a masterpiece! I'm currently in eighth grade and have been playing for eight and a half years, and I can tell you for a fact that if it hadn't been for your inspiring arrangments I wouldn't be the pianist I am today :) thank you animenz! we love you!
I've never watched Fate/Stay Night nor have i listened to Last Stardust, but this sounds absolutely incredible and now i kinda wanna watch the anime. What more can I say... thank you so much Animenz
One of my fave memorable animes~ Thank you as always Animenz, who knows if you'll see this comment, but love your arrangements! Indescribably beautiful and touching
This channel is wonderful. People from all around the world, where language doesn't matter. We are all bound by the power of this song. And this my friends, is why I love animenz

I went to see your live at the Islington Chapel in London: one of the best piano concert I've ever attended. I also bought a couple of sheet books but didn't manage to play any piece correctly. Maybe because I am trying to make them sound like you do :) This arrangement is one of the best you've delighted us with lately. My hat is off to you Mr. Animenz, you're a master. Thanks for all.
Hey, I noticed all the small (and large) changes you made from your live performances, it makes a huge difference in the feel. Especially that last chord, I've experimented with that before but never achieved something as beautiful as that chord. Beautiful arrangement, amazing performance!
animenz... in all seriousness, I genuinely have no possible idea how to tell you how much I love this song and your arrangements. It's so powerful and dynamic and nothing feels repetitive and akfjlafjka oh my goodness I love it so much. The countless times I got goosebumps listening to certain parts of the arrangement. I loveddd the jazzy undertones at 5:13 but how it circled back to the classical-styled run at 5:39 which truly made the piece feel like it was authentically arranged by no one other than you. And also I absolutely adored the run at 3:40 it was so amazing (no like actually I think my soul left my body at 3:40) I honestly think this might be one of your best arrangements and definitely one of my favorite ones. There are so many other things that I loved about this arrangement but we'd be here all day if I went on. But anyways, I love every single one of your covers and you genuinely inspire and motivate me to become a better pianist. Loved the arrangement and you're so amazing.
The best one among recent Animenz's arrangements. Sounds like a new arrange type and less use or pedal. Good use of different arrange skills rather than simple repetition makes more layers of sounds in music. And the end part is very inspiring.
Vielen vielen Dank für dieses Stück, hab seit Brave shine nur darauf gewartet, Last stardust auf dem Klavier zu hören :)) Einfach nur unglaublich, was für techniken und verbesserungen dahinter stecken. Ich bin dankbar dafür, dass du mich dazu motiviert hast, wieder klavier zu spielen! Nach einer jahrelangen Pause habe ich durch die videos auf diesem Kanal eine leidenschaft gespürt wie selten zuvor! (Ich als otaku war davon fasziniert, so hochqualitative adaptionen von anime OSTs auf dem klavier zu hören) Dank dir habe ich wieder mit Klavier angefangen und habe das Ziel verfolgt, irgendwann Anime OSTs auf dem Klavier spielen zu können! Vor allem war Unravel eines der ersten Stücke die ich hier gesehen habe (und Tokyo Ghoul einer meiner ersten animes), seitdem bin ich ein absoluter fan der arrangements hier auf dem kanal! Das Konzert in Berlin 2018 war ebenfalls fantastisch, ich bin froh, dass ich dabei sein und die schönen Stücke live hören konnte! Und zuletzt, als fan der fate-serie, insbesonders UBW, bedanke ich mich für Brave Shine und Last Stardust, 2 sehr symbolische Songs aus UBW. Mein ohrwurm davon wird wohl nicht verschwinden XD Jedenfalls, einfach nur herzlichen Dank für die tollen Stücke, die eine besondere Motivation für mich waren und öfters meinen Tag gerettet haben :) Ich war schon besorgt, weil letztes jahr sehr ruhig war (habe mitbekommen, was für eine schwierige Zeit es für dich war). Für die Zukunft wünsche ich nur alles Gute und freue mich auf die Uploads, die dieses Jahr noch kommen werden!😁😁 P.S.: Ich bereue es zutiefst, dass ich nicht zum Konzert in Seoul letztes jahr kommen konnte! Als Koreaner, der in Deutschland wohnt, wäre es ein echt cooles Erlebnis gewesen bei beiden Konzerten dabei sein zu können😄
Ah, du warst auch in Animenz Live Berlin Konzert in 2018? Ich hoffe es hat dir gefallen! (Ich hab schon lange keine Kommentare auf Deutsch gesehen und bin froh, dass es doch noch einige gibt!) Animenz Live wird in der Zukunft wieder in Europa stattfinden, ich werde es schon rechtzeitig ankündigen!

Thanks man, from this arrangement, I can feel the emotions and power you have put. I can feel enthusiasm. I can feel a masterpiece played by a true artist
So detailed
@@kidchese-acgonpiano1832 yep
wow! absolutely beautiful
Aimerは歌声にどこか切なさを感じるけど
それ以上に芯の強さを感じることのできる
珍しいアーティストですよね、大好きです！
「六等星の夜」も好き

Yet I will never create one of my own
I don't watch a lot of anime (all I know is Naruto and One Piece), so I've never heard this song before. I'm also not a pianist, I don't play any instrument, so I can't explain what I'm thinking in the "right" way, but I must say, I really enjoyed the way you play this song. Just hearing the piano sounds gave me goosebumps without even knowing the lyrics. I heard the original song and read the lyrics after watching your cover, and I have to say, you beautifully translated the music into your arrangement and really managed to capture the emotions of this song amazingly, just like the singer. That's why I love hearing you play, your arrangements are marvelous, you make me like lots of Anime songs even though I've never heard the original. I have been following your channel since 2014, and you never cease to amaze me. Also, I think this is my first time writing a comment, all this time I only gave a thumbs up on your videos hehe😉
I usually wait until the video premieres to leave a comment, but just wanted to say I am HYPED for this one.
EDIT: can confirm, exceeded all expectations.
Arrangement thoughts:
Wow. I can really tell how much arranging energy you put into varying the techniques and phrasing in this song. It started off soft and simple. But the second the octave jumps came in at 3:43, i instantly felt the nostalgic Animenz energy and style come rushing back until the end of the song. I got chills at that moment. The descending sixths at 4:51 reminded me of the run at the end of the bridge of your Sayonara Memories cover (albeit more spaced out pattern). The jazzy grace note teased at 5:13 led into a beautiful jazzy closing cadenza. And then the classical style descending run at 5:39 brought back the classical feel from your older works. Overall, a fantastic and complete work. Great job!
The dynamic control is also quite exceptional on this particular cover. There is a clear distinction between the nuanced touch of the pianos and the forceful energy on the fortes, especially the descending run at 3:40. The evenness on that run really took me by surprise.
As always, thank you for sharing your wonderful arrangement and performance.
I too, agree that nothing can quite replicate the power, timbre, and uniqueness of Aimer's voice. Every one of her songs is a gem.
Last Stardust is indeed a mix of everything I have learned so far as an Arranger! Both the "early" Animenz with the classical music references, the "jazz" decorations at the end, as well as the current "improvisational style", they are all included in this arrangement. Thanks for your feedback!
The song literally just started, and it’s already a masterpiece
Let's all agree that the fate series is one of the best out there, with the best openings and that this guy has his piano skill max!
OMG CRYYY! I'm a sucker for Last Stardust and now Animenz is coming with a properly recorded cover!
I absolutely loved SLS musics rendtion of this and I'm so hyped to see what Animenz does with this. Aimer's one of my favorite artists of all time, and this song really hits you good
This is the first time i showed up to a premier of a video and omg it felt like a concert. Got my heart pumping Animenz as always! Can't wait for the next one!!!
YES!!
Fate/Stay Night is one of most beloved franchises ever, I eagerly await your performance
This is honestly my favourite piano arrangement by Animenz.
As a kid, I was not interested in piano at all. I would only practice enough times for the "exams" because my mother was the one who wanted me to learn the piano. Eventually I gave up piano after I entered high school. I have always been an anime fan and listening to a variety of Anisongs.
When I saw Animenz's arrangement of my favourite song, Last Stardust, I decided I should give it a shot. I never thought I would pick up piano again but hey XD My basics were really bad owing to the fact that I seldom practiced my scales and arpeggios when I was young and now this is haunting me again XD
Until now, I have been practicing every day for 1.5 months and I can finally reach full speed except for a few parts. The process was very tough but I enjoyed it very much. I just want to say thank you to Animenz for making me fall in love with piano! With more practice, I hope I could play this song entirely in the near future :D
Holy moly this has to be one of my favourite arrangements! I’m so glad you didn’t drop it
Looks like Fonzi got his wish. Can't wait to hear this one!
Plot Twist: It's played in a major key (if it isn't already)
He said in the description that he worked on it for a while. I'm wondering what techniques/tricks he's got. Also, Aimer, yay
OMG -Daddy- Animenz-sama has been treating us so well lately, I'm touched 😭
You know, despite how much enjoyment and pleasure Animenz brings to us, I think Animenz is the one experiencing the most joy and pleasure. Whilst we appreciate beautiful playing, he is at its creation.
I've been waiting for awhile for this!
One thing for sure : Musicians are awesome.
2020/06/21 Animenz's transcription style just fit Aimer's songs so well Also being a fan of both artist I cried
There is something hypnotic about watching you play. Between the speed and surety of your movements it's just something amazing.
I am SO excited!
I've been waiting for this for years. I guess you should never loose hope. :D
Listening to your music several times and practicing the sheet music steadily Thank you for having increased the fun in my daily life.
I am also looking forward to this video
박영훈 please share it if you can!! I’d love to attempt this piece:D

@@DarkQueenHelba th-cam.com/video/2MmYx1ayYTM/w-d-xo.html there u go
YES I requested this like a year ago on the Brave Shine video I’m soO happy. Now all I need is the re:Zero openings and I can die happy.
Thank you Animenz
I can see how much effort you showed in this cover. The small and big details was truely shown in the video. Your effort made you shine better than ever.
man this is nothing short of incredible, it just has so much feeling in the music i find myself coming back and listening to this at least a couple times a week
It's amazing how I feel like I can hear Aimer's vocals in your arrangement, all the words the way she sang it in the original piece, even though this is an instrumental. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into doing right by this amazing song!
Holy shiiiiiiiit!!! Now that's a top tier arrangement right here!!! :D Seriously there is so much variation in the techniques... man, this is so next level!
Finally i'm listening to Last Stardust played by the best pianist i ever met!
Thanks a lot...:'-D
Finally! Thank you for uploading this video Animenz! The cover is really beautiful
Hey boss. You know, Fate has a very special place in my heart, especially UBW, and as an Aimer addict I'm really glad you provided us with such masterful arrangements of Brave Shine & Last Stardust. In fact, even as an experienced pianist, I've been struggling for a long time over your Brave Shine arrangement, and I'm finally getting close to the "vaguely sounds like music" stage. I still have a long way to go, but giving it all on the chorus really gives me chills over the keyboard.
You've been spoiling us over the past few weeks with fantastic arrangements of legendary songs. The gift of sheets you used to offer us is one that was so miraculous, it is hard not to feel a spark of frustration when it gets taken from us. Of course, I'm sure you know this, and likely are trying to find a solution. It is not a complaint; being able to listen to and enjoy your play for free is already much more than we could ask. Just know that as long as anime fans exist, you will have followers willing to grind the hell out of your supremely difficult arrangements, and who will be grateful forever of getting a challenge combining their love of anime, music and piano.
You and marasy are the reasons why I got back to piano seriously after the higher-education induced break. Thank you forever, and keep being awesome. Peace.
I just listened to the song for the first time today; it was amazing... I can't wait for this arrangement :D Aimer for life
OMFG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i looking foward to it so much, i alrdy loved your concert ver but this gotta be epic ! cant wait !
It's finally time. (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Such a lovely cover, Animenz!!! Brought me right back into the world of Fate, if only for a moment. Once the world returns to normal, please come to Vancouver again!! Id love to see you perform for the 3rd time 🤩
Wow! Your arrangement really threw me back to last winter! A lot of emotions were conveyed to me with this piece!
Thank you Animenz, I didn't know this song before you played it on the piano and now it's one of my favorites
Well done mate, good on you. As a fledgeling composer/arranger, seeing what may result from pushing past the general tedium and difficulty of arranging invigorates me to see that road to its conclusion.
Thank you.
Brave Shine and Last Stardust were the first Aimer songs I've ever listened to. They were so powerful and I loved them so much that I started listening to every Aimer song, anime songs or not. It's been a couple years since I consider Aimer my favourite singer and I love everything she sings, but Last Stardust is still one of my favourites. I also happen to love Piano and your arrengements.
This one hit me so hard that it didn't take long for the years to start to come. By the end my eyes were red and aching. I guess it was out of pure love for this song and specially your arrengement.
Aimer's voice is strong and deep yes. This arrengement is, too. Thank you.
Aimer makes the songs
animenz makes the best piano versions of it
god damn what a combo
Wow.. this is simply amazing. Love the regular uploads.

Can’t wait to hear how Animenz will perform this beautiful song 😍😍😍
You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this.
been a fan since forever but i just wanted to say i LOVE your new composing style!!!!!!!!!!!! especially in this video and this game 2021. keep it up. thank you for being an inspiration
So thankful for all the uploads
This is the best arrangement I've heard you really did a good job with this
Been waiting for this one for years!
When animenz uploads this video it’ll be the best birthday present ever :D
Thank you for playing a so beautiful song. Its a little confort in these dark and sad times. Thank you
Thanks for making your cover animenz. This actually is my favourite song.
I can't wait cause this cover is ganna be EPIC 🥰😍
This is indeed very beautiful. You make this much more enjoyable for me (personally) when I see that different kinds of techniques are added into the playing in order to play all parts of the song out. That's one of the biggest things I absolutely love about you when you transcribe different kinds of anime songs I like into piano, so that one day, when I'm good enough, I can actually learn the and right now, listen to them. Animenz, thank you again, and I hope I will see you soon! :D
SO beautiful, thanks for sharing this😭😭😭If I close my eyes I can see emiya giving it all to defeat gilgamesh and it brings me so much joy😭
Man you basically rewrote the entire song to a whole different level!! It's breathtaking! Congrats and thank you ✨
OMG I have been waiting for this moment!!
Last Stardust…！！ありがとうございます…！

ありがとうございます！

As a perfectionist myself, I know that when you really want to give your best into a creation, you need to take your time with it. I'm glad you took your time to polish this song as much as possible before uploading it. It really shows your whole technique and skills, without foreshadowing the feelings.
Thank you for this arrangment ;n;
I never appreciated the piano until I started watching your videos. This arrangement is so pretty.
I am two weeks late, so chances are this comment won't live to see Animenz's reply, but I figured I had better say it anyway.
As I've continued learned this arrangement, the amount of detail put into each note and chord is simply STUNNING, to say the least. I'm not by any means an anime fan, but ever since I discovered your channel three years ago I've been constantly enveloped in your music. and I can't seem to pull away from it either ;) this is simply a masterpiece! I'm currently in eighth grade and have been playing for eight and a half years, and I can tell you for a fact that if it hadn't been for your inspiring arrangments I wouldn't be the pianist I am today :) thank you animenz! we love you!
Bro, I've been waiting for this for so long. It's beautiful! I love it! I'm literally crying. I'm so happy right now.
I've never watched Fate/Stay Night nor have i listened to Last Stardust, but this sounds absolutely incredible and now i kinda wanna watch the anime. What more can I say... thank you so much Animenz
Well if you ever want to get into fate...
"That's hell you're walking into"
One of my fave memorable animes~ Thank you as always Animenz, who knows if you'll see this comment, but love your arrangements! Indescribably beautiful and touching
This channel is wonderful. People from all around the world, where language doesn't matter. We are all bound by the power of this song. And this my friends, is why I love animenz
Maybe the best thing of 2020 is Animenz being active on his TH-cam channel
The fact that he makes the song sound like his own is what makes me love his style :)
OMG i Cant wait for this i already know its good Before i even hear it because Daddy Animenz Always Makes The Good Stuff
Your playing takes by breath away everytime. Thank you Senpai!
I can't stop listening to this arrangement. It feels perfect to me, and I've never even heard the original. Seriously, it's so beautiful.

I went to see your live at the Islington Chapel in London: one of the best piano concert I've ever attended. I also bought a couple of sheet books but didn't manage to play any piece correctly. Maybe because I am trying to make them sound like you do :)
This arrangement is one of the best you've delighted us with lately.
My hat is off to you Mr. Animenz, you're a master. Thanks for all.
I got literal goosebumps while listening to this. Great Job!
Behold his noble phantasm..
Hard work and piano..
And as he prayed...unlimited chords works❤️
I've been waiting for this
Sensei all on fire ! Really insane ! Congrats
Hey, I noticed all the small (and large) changes you made from your live performances, it makes a huge difference in the feel. Especially that last chord, I've experimented with that before but never achieved something as beautiful as that chord. Beautiful arrangement, amazing performance!
Thank you fro this, this is so cool! One of my favorite songs of all time.
animenz... in all seriousness, I genuinely have no possible idea how to tell you how much I love this song and your arrangements. It's so powerful and dynamic and nothing feels repetitive and akfjlafjka oh my goodness I love it so much. The countless times I got goosebumps listening to certain parts of the arrangement. I loveddd the jazzy undertones at 5:13 but how it circled back to the classical-styled run at 5:39 which truly made the piece feel like it was authentically arranged by no one other than you. And also I absolutely adored the run at 3:40 it was so amazing (no like actually I think my soul left my body at 3:40) I honestly think this might be one of your best arrangements and definitely one of my favorite ones. There are so many other things that I loved about this arrangement but we'd be here all day if I went on. But anyways, I love every single one of your covers and you genuinely inspire and motivate me to become a better pianist. Loved the arrangement and you're so amazing.
The best one among recent Animenz's arrangements.
Sounds like a new arrange type and less use or pedal.
Good use of different arrange skills rather than simple repetition makes more layers of sounds in music.
And the end part is very inspiring.
Vielen vielen Dank für dieses Stück, hab seit Brave shine nur darauf gewartet, Last stardust auf dem Klavier zu hören :)) Einfach nur unglaublich, was für techniken und verbesserungen dahinter stecken.
Ich bin dankbar dafür, dass du mich dazu motiviert hast, wieder klavier zu spielen! Nach einer jahrelangen Pause habe ich durch die videos auf diesem Kanal eine leidenschaft gespürt wie selten zuvor! (Ich als otaku war davon fasziniert, so hochqualitative adaptionen von anime OSTs auf dem klavier zu hören) Dank dir habe ich wieder mit Klavier angefangen und habe das Ziel verfolgt, irgendwann Anime OSTs auf dem Klavier spielen zu können! Vor allem war Unravel eines der ersten Stücke die ich hier gesehen habe (und Tokyo Ghoul einer meiner ersten animes), seitdem bin ich ein absoluter fan der arrangements hier auf dem kanal!
Das Konzert in Berlin 2018 war ebenfalls fantastisch, ich bin froh, dass ich dabei sein und die schönen Stücke live hören konnte!
Und zuletzt, als fan der fate-serie, insbesonders UBW, bedanke ich mich für Brave Shine und Last Stardust, 2 sehr symbolische Songs aus UBW. Mein ohrwurm davon wird wohl nicht verschwinden XD
Jedenfalls, einfach nur herzlichen Dank für die tollen Stücke, die eine besondere Motivation für mich waren und öfters meinen Tag gerettet haben :) Ich war schon besorgt, weil letztes jahr sehr ruhig war (habe mitbekommen, was für eine schwierige Zeit es für dich war). Für die Zukunft wünsche ich nur alles Gute und freue mich auf die Uploads, die dieses Jahr noch kommen werden!😁😁
P.S.: Ich bereue es zutiefst, dass ich nicht zum Konzert in Seoul letztes jahr kommen konnte! Als Koreaner, der in Deutschland wohnt, wäre es ein echt cooles Erlebnis gewesen bei beiden Konzerten dabei sein zu können😄
Ah, du warst auch in Animenz Live Berlin Konzert in 2018? Ich hoffe es hat dir gefallen! (Ich hab schon lange keine Kommentare auf Deutsch gesehen und bin froh, dass es doch noch einige gibt!) Animenz Live wird in der Zukunft wieder in Europa stattfinden, ich werde es schon rechtzeitig ankündigen!
I cant help but salute to this man and the song
Yessss, finally, I've been waiting for this
Hope this one is gonna be like Brave Shine, or even better

I've been following you since Level 5 judgelight cover! I started to play piano when I hear "My dearest", now I can somehow play that version and this 10 yrs since I started to follow you, have been the best moments with your covers! You are the best Animenz! 👏🏼
It's always really relaxed and peaceful while listening to your music. Love all your arrangements
Thank you for this amazing piano arrangement
