I think this is great, not only because of the great arrangement and great performance, but also because it is still playable (unlike many piano roll tutorials where they don't even show the hands, because many times we would need more then 2 hands to play them :))
ScubDomino My aim is not really to call out people who don't write playable piano music, in my view it is not calling out, it's simply just pointing out, which is different, and actually a compliment to this videoupllader/pianocomposer, because it just adds extra valie to a piano piece to a pianist if it's actually playable, no? :) To a listener who doesn't really want to play the piano but just wants to listen to piano music, the answer is probably different, because he cares only about the audio/composition, but doesn't care about if it's playable or not because he is not planning to learn it on the piano and not planning to listen to it on a live concert, he simply wants to listen to a not-playable but still potentially beautiful piano piece. But some of the not-playable piano pieces can be more beautiful/interesting/etc, but it's also a question of taste. I found some unplayable pianopieces in the past and I really liked some of them but I didn't liked the fact that I couldn't play them alone, some of them is still unplayable as a 4-hand piece for 2 pianists, and some of the piano roll piano pieces are literally impossible to play because they aim to be that way, because it's part of the fun, writing ridiculous unplayable but cool sounding piano pieces are pretty fun in my opinion :) it's just a shame that they are never going to get performed live in a concert in their original form with the original instrumentation.
Sarah Ibrahim I know that it's impossible to hold that chord with the hand AND play those higher melody with just 1 hand, but you can create a very similar sound with pedal, maybe he simply just forgot to draw short MIDI notes for that chord and drawing sustain pedal automation for it instead.
Now that I've seen someone do the fast parts irl, I am convinced that this song is possible to play in its complete form with two pianos and two players.
This video is actually edited so that all the notes are exactly right, in order for it to sound the best! But thank you, I'll see what I can do - xi is definitely both challenging and time consuming; I'm working on covers by some other artists that I hope you'll like too!
Thanks! I had worked on this arrangement a few years ago, then picked it up again for a couple months. Actually, even at this point I couldn't play it fully, I had to edit it to get to this standard :)
I recorded the MIDI in Cubase (with a piano VST), and the visualiser is a screen recording from Synthesia. Although I think I might have been able to find an online piano supporting the full range in the past, if you have a MIDI keyboard with all 88 keys.

Xi is one of the kings of rhythm game music
With all the good parts, nice take!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, and yep I made this arrangement to be possible for one person :)

Absolutely beautiful piece, and beautifully performed.

@@anartist8087 bulking season
@@probablysomeone1111 oh and turn off your ac forever
This is just magnificent. Arpeggios are especially cool
I honestly thought that this was not possible. Amazing.
I couldn't imagine a one handed version of this or even someone playing it. Wow!
I'm definitely not gonna try that... Scary!
Thats gonna be in the tutorial on how do ascend to heaven
That's because you don't know EK yet...
Absolute masterpiece
before this song : chromatic scales and arpeggios are boring!
after this song : i love chromatic scales and arpeggios!
we're ascending to the heaven with this bang 🔥🔥🔥🔥
dam you nailed those runs! Very nice cover, would like to to see more Xi in the future like everyone else. Just do what you wanna do king!

Just amazing!
finally, a playable piece :)
This is really really good
1:03 🔥
string god! Love this Master piece from osu! And literally didn't notice this is an Xi! Love it so much....
Pls make a full version of this!!
You are so skilled
His Finger steam is crazyy

Needs more views, nice job

1:43 I can only do this at 80 bpm max, this is 200 🫠
Cool song

Dude how long have u been playing you’re actually crazy I aspire to be like u

I think this will be better arranged as a Piano-violin duet.
I wanted to learn pianooo
i love u sirrr
piano is hardest rhythm game!!
1:40
fricking cool
HES OVERSTREAMING
your good
That is just beautiful and impressive. How much time did it take to practice that ?
Thanks! I had worked on this arrangement a few years ago, then picked it up again for a couple months. Actually, even at this point I couldn't play it fully, I had to edit it to get to this standard :)
@@rev3rsor That looks amazing
Wait, someone played this song on Piano? For the first time ever I saw one on TH-cam
bro you ss'd this song
He just FC it.
How long do i need to play piano to play this all i can say i play 1 1/2 years and i cant play this xd
I've been playing for 13? years and still can't play it 100% :')
@@rev3rsor wow damn, youre still epic tho >.
I wish I could play the piano, I want to make music like this
I imagine the hardest part of playing piano is separating and focusing on the actions of both hands. Truly incredible
@@carrops it's called muscle memory. Technically he can still play the piano with both hands while singing or doing something else
@@FLUQMAN rephrasing: I imagine one of the hardest parts is building the muscle memory to play piani
p a t i e n c e is very important
For me, the hard part is trying to put both hands together, but once I get it down it's easy (I'm an intermediate pianist studying piano)
crying
Nice! now go DT
Well i sure ascended to heaven while listening to this💦😩
my wrists hurt just watching this
how does anyone do this lol
can i have the midi file please :D?
nice!! pls go play Kozato - tsuki yue
he's overstreaming
Play it in 1.5x
This is playable??????
Yup! Tricky but should be possible
Yeah thats great but dt please
I wonder if the sound is from an actual piano or synthesia?
This one is from a VST since it's recorded through my keyboard, not live piano
What app/program did you use to play this song? I searched for an hour and I couldn't find an online piano this big.
I recorded the MIDI in Cubase (with a piano VST), and the visualiser is a screen recording from Synthesia. Although I think I might have been able to find an online piano supporting the full range in the past, if you have a MIDI keyboard with all 88 keys.
@@rev3rsor Ooh, thank you. Do you know where to get a full MIDI keyboard like that?
imagine if you went in a duet with someone with a Violin
merami 1171
WYSI
@@elidle15 waht
harder than osu
Indeed, isn't that so?
Merami be like: 1.5x speed
thats how i listened to this
coz is how im used to it now
HE’S OVERSTREAMING!!
Great now play it with dt
Who else but this on 1.5x
727th like hehehe
1.50 speed
THIS SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE
Isn't this an ai playing? Anyways i loved the cover!
I take that back, i think you're just good enough to play this
It's my real hands, but the audio is cleaned up using MIDI!
I thought it was impossible
What!!??!!!!??!!??!!?
667pp
I just played this song in osu! and I get this notification wtf
more xi's songs cover please!
They take some time, but I'll do my best!
@@rev3rsor I'll wait for it. but anyway do songs, that you prefer to do, this is the most important thing. Thanks for your work you are amazing
