━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Thank you for watching and supporting this channel. I hope you enjoy my cover.
Akuma no Ko is a masterpiece of a ending song and I believe it is only fitting to put my all into making a guitar cover of it. Ai Higuchi is such a good singer and I implore you to check out her other songs:

This song is my hardest arrangement yet, harder than 86's ED "Avid", and it is a lot harder to play that it looks like in video. Most of the difficulty is in the verse and pre-chorus. Some of the chord shapes in the pre-chorus are truly horrendous but it had to be done to maintain faithfulness to the original. The reason Avid was hard was because the constantly shifting hand positions to play the harmonics and percussion. The reason Akuma no Ko is hard is because it's very tiring and very fast.
Animenz's piano arrangement of this song came out in the middle of my arranging process so I may have taken some inspiration from it.
I couldn't find a good English translation of the lyrics for the subtitles so I just took what was publicly available and made it more grammatically friendly, while staying true to the original lyrics that represents Eren's feelings. If I butchered the meaning of a line, please tell me in the comments.
That's a sick
I think you a word
And the god of anime OST guitar covers has showed up here.
This a nice convo
@@RobertChen genius wordplay
u lost on this one dude
I had lost all hope that you were actually releasing this
Me too, but then the past week I had a sudden urge to be a masochist
@@RobertChen what a nice way to reword hard work lmao
Man you're a beast. The fact you figured out how to keep the arpeggios and melody at 0:25 going consistently blew me away. At that moment I knew your tuning was crazy and your skills were crazier. Nice work :D
That part has a chord that makes you barre two frets at once to keep the arpeggio haha
yoooo dude how are you doing? I hope all's good. Really miss your work. Hope to see you upload in the near future.
@@RobertChen Sometimes I've thought about arranging where I try the barre two frets and then I think no way that's crazy. You're a madlad lol
@@mickeywiththeglock3355 I'm good thanks :) working on an arrangement of this song actually that should be done soon...but it's no where near as good as Robert's!! He's a god I tell ya
@@nicholasnorrie1637 you're a person of another level as well. You both are. And i truely love your works. Can't wait for your new arrangement. Keep up the good work guys!!
You know this is real hard when you can hear his relieving breath at the last part, totally worth waiting for months!!!!
Haha, I was hoping no one could hear that
I cant find the words to describe how amazing this is! What an arrangement dude! You have some serious talent
Well, that was gorgeous! Best cover I've heard of my favorite AoT credits song. And adding those lyrics really made it heart-wrenching. Thank you for working so hard to play this so beautifully! 👏
I really wished I had plot armor like your fingers because this seriously looks way too hard but also amazing at the same time.
You always never fail to amaze me haha.
Keep it up!!!
My fingers skirted the line between life and death while recording this
"Insanely good playing!"❤❤
Your skill is godly
Hello , I came Here from your Seimeisen cover. I just wanted to say the way you play is beautiful, the music touches my heart. My lift is pretty busy filled loads of studies for multiple exams, I find relief and solace here . Your music comforts me greatly. Thank you very much . This cover was beautiful.
this is the most phenomenal cover of akuma no ko i have ever seen.. wtf you are monster bruhhhhhhh!!! killin it.. vibin so good!!!!!!!
It sounds like there is more than one guitar. Amazing cover
Thật sự khi mình xem video này mình cực kỳ cảm động , không nghĩ sẽ có một bản guitar về "Akuma no ko "da diết đến vậy . ❤❤❤
Beautiful cover!!!
How in the world does this not have more views?!
I uploaded the cover way too late, the interest in the song died down lol
I don't have that guts to tune my high E to G 😌....btw awesome arr. 🔥 Glad that you did the full ver ❤️
same here, I already know mine will pop. I have popped my high E string so much times now.
[Verse 1]
Tetsu no tama ga seigi no shoumei
Tsuranukeba eiyuu ni chikazuita
Sono me wo tojite furete mireba
Onaji katachi onaji taion no akuma
[Verse 2]
Boku wa dame de aitsu wa ii no?
Soko ni kabe ga atta dake na no ni
Umarete shimatta sadame nageku na
Bokura wa minna jiyuu nan dakara
[Pre-Chorus]
Tori no you ni hane ga areba
Doko e datte yukeru kedo
Kaeru basho ga nakereba
Kitto doko e mo yukenai
Tada tada ikiru no wa iya da
[Chorus]
Sekai wa zankoku da sore demo kimi wo aisu yo
Nani wo gisei ni shitemo sore demo kimi wo mamoru yo
Machigai da to shitemo utagattari shinai
Tadashisa to wa jibun no koto tsuyoku shinjiru koto da
[Verse 3]
Tetsu no ame ga furi chiru joukei
Terebi no naka eiga ni mietan da
Sensou nante oroka na kyoubou
Kankei nai shiranai kuni no hanashi
Sore nara nande aitsu nikunde
Kuroi kimochi kakushi kirenai wake
Setsumei datte deki ya shinain da
Bokura wa nante mujun bakka nan da
[Bridge]
Kono kotoba mo yakusarereba
Hontou no imi wa tsutawaranai
Shinjiru no wa sono me wo hiraite
Fureta sekai dake
Tada tada ikiru no wa iya da
[Chorus]
Sekai wa zankoku da sore demo kimi wo aisu yo
Nani wo gisei ni shitemo sore demo kimi wo mamoru yo
Eranda hito no kage suteta mono no shikabane
Kizuitan da jibun no naka sodatsu no wa akuma no ko
Seigi no ura gisei no naka kokoro ni wa akuma no ko
so happy it came out as good as you seemed to have imagined it when you first started piecing things together
as usual, great arrangements that anyone else would be hard-pressed to play
This is so good
Amazing!
This makes me want to learn acoustic guitar, what a beautiful cover
Thank you! It's never too late to start
Melody+bass lines are hard enough and he is playing along with harmonic lines🥲🥲
That was class performance!!
This is so beautiful 🥺🥺
I love your covers✨❤️✨
Great cover as always!
That intro is crazy!
Poppin off sounds amazing
Ty oli!
Such a brilliant cover!!
Thanks dundun!
Man went beyond the boundary for this cover. Too good.
Saku OP when
How tf would I do the saku intro that thing has a billion notes
Dude this is so good! It was worth the wait 🤘
Thanks man! Your version is probably my favorite out of everyone who covered this song, it's so soothing.
@@RobertChen wow, thank you! I really appreciate that. This song was so much harder than I thought it would be after listening to it lol, but damn it’s so good. I can’t believe you tuned your E up to a G! That would stress me out haha
Yo, same! I thought this would take 2 weeks max to do but after realizing it was in 3 different keys I struggled to get nice chord voicings that worked for the melody. Eventually got it done but man am I bad at math.
nice cover and nice background xD
aight i'mma learn this and make ya proud
rlly good arrangement robert!
Wow he’s back
I owe it to you, your return inspired me
Best version so far ngl, amazing joooob😍
WOOOOOOOOW
New VID POG, TOO NOICE BRO

Edward Ong seething with that title rn 😂
Your arrangements are insane tho, fr
I'm so sorry edward

Wow! INSANE COVER! The clickbait is actually true lol. Glad to see you finally finish this one :)
I played this arrangement so much I ended up hating it, you can see it in my facial expressions
sick cover bro
Nailed it👌
At first, I didn't really like this OP Or ED but unexpectedly, I came to appreciate it. Sankyuu!
Sound so beautyyyyyyy
legend
So cool! Nice arr.! Nice sound of your record.^^
Thanks man! Your skills inspire me everyday.

Wonderful performance, thank you!
fucking beautiful
It’s kind of deep when you know what Aot is about and how this is a fundraiser against war😕
E to G !!!!!!
amazing
Epic slap
Damn good cover!
Can i ask what song you’re covering next?
Probably LilaS
My Name Is Robert Chen Too
Where you can learn to arrange song with custom tuning(not standard)?A great video!
aot best anime! song still hits me.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
This is so cool!! can u do Haruka mirai?
Hey Robert! I think you're one of the most fun acoustic cover artists to listen to, your covers convey a lot of emotion that more techincal artists sometimes miss. Out of Comedy or LilaS which one seems more likely to hit the channel first? Don't rush yourself, we know it'll come out fantastic no matter how long it takes.
I have a massive project releasing in a few days (not a cover), so I haven't spent much time on either. Comedy will likely come first after I've moved into my dorm for the next semester of school in May.
cant wait for lilas :)
bravo
Where have you been :O

Thanks pal
great
Op
Extremely talented I wish I had musical talent, I want to be able to play the piano or guitar
I have negative talent, I was born without the ability to hear the upper frequencies and have mild hearing loss, it just takes time, perseverance, and decent mentors/peers.
Clinically diagnosed ADHD also impedes my learning process, I wish I was born normal so that progression wouldn't be as difficult.
@@RobertChen Respect for sharing!
@@RobertChen Dude my respect just passed 100% right now.

Are you gonna make cover for the new 86 ending?
Btw I love your work man, amazing covers
Keep it up😁
Probably
🥺✨
Hey robert! are you self taught?
I shit you not. I would love see you arrange the OST-Facing the Tiger of josee, the tiger, the fish movie.
Magnífico
Hey man! This cover is very good! I also do fingerstyle covers on my channel and I’d like to know some tips on how should I find the right chords and the right tuning for a song? I struggle a lot on the former and sometimes I experiment too much and it ends up not sounding good. I’m nowhere near your level, but someday I hope to be!
Finding the right tuning for the song pretty much comes from experience of playing in alternate tunings a lot. I'm familiar with Open D and Open C variants so I tend to use them more often.
Where you learn how to mix your audio guitar?I really want to learn.Hope you be reached 100k follow.
Mixing solo guitar shares a lot of similarities with mixing anything else. I'd start off with basic tutorials on your DAW and mixing in general.
Robert, you are amazing!
And how do you look at making an arrangement for Attack on Titan 4 OST - Friendship? This is a very beautiful composition!)
Ill check it out but no promises on arranging it just yet, got too many things on my plate at the moment, thank you for the suggestion.
I'm made your likes 1k :)
can u make a review video on this avian songbird of yours ?
If I do, I won't be posting it on this channel. Though, is there anything you'd like to know about the guitar right now? I can answer some questions if you'd like.
Are your fingers alright
They're not
Tabs?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
how
I thought he used his hands, not sure
im good, how are you?
