9 years. 9 years and I still find myself coming back to this video to get lost in these emotions. Makes me cry every single time. Never stop your craft. Truly remarkable.
This is such an amazing achievement... I think that you're the one leading anime + piano into more eyes. And hopefully in the future, more and more people will be interested in what we're doing. I really, honestly mean this when I say it: I admire your work and I will be supporting you all the way. I know many many other anime pianists and anime fans will too. *brofist/hug*
Theishter - Anime on Piano Ishteeeeer :D You also made remarkable progress in your arrangements as well! Your sound quality (acoustic recording) is now top notch and your arranging technique has expanded with every new full size covers! (I told you, full size covers are the BEST ;) Let's continue our best as fellow anime pianists on youtube and together, among all the other anime pianists, we will light a new path, which has never been explored before - the world of anime pianists! *brohug
Listening to this with a cup of tea and serene smile. And still refusing to acknowledge Zero Requiem. He's still alive. He is. Damn it, HE. IS. NOT. DEAD.
Lol, he actually is alive (as shown in the japanese ending). Not sure if you already knew, but I didnt know this myself for a good while. I though he was actually dead ;_;
I kinda knew after a few breakdowns here and there when I finished the anime. But the greedy human I am, I want someone to scream at the whole world every awesome thing he has done behind the curtains and every shit he gave for those ungrateful vermins. And that he's too cool to be killed by a mortal wound from this particular troublesome ungrateful asshole frontstabbing so-called-childhood-friend of his. He should be the Emperor of the whole frickin world for eternity. Damn damn damn I'm pretty sure I'm obsessed with him. I ramble everytime I touch this topic plsexcusemyLelouchcomplex
As someone who loves Lelouch to the core, and a admirer of the piano, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this cover. I've been listening and watching your videos for the past several hours, and I am very glad that I found your channel. Keep making magic on your piano. We all need a little magic in our lives.

Lelouch is one of the best anime protagonists I've ever seen. I have seen a fair bit of shit hitting the fan, but the fan got absolutely fucking BARRIED under the piles of shit just constantly dumping onto it. I was so emotionally drained after code geass that madoka majicka ( the next anime i watched) didnt even fucking faze me
if that didn't faze you oh god well I watched madoka magica a while after code geass so. but both are great anime S in my opinion code geass is something you really can watch once wait a few years watch again and understand it better and repeat because it's that good
+Pony With An AK from the beginning of akame ga kill you knew there was no happy ending for those guys, but you kept watching because of morbid curiosity on how it will play out. I actually cried when koro sensei died in Assassination classroom, because that was the only real time we experienced loss in the show. Code Geass was a constant barrage of shit getting worse and worse for characters we grew to love. Leaving me drained from the constant waves of despair.
I love this song and Animenz' arrangement so much! At 0:59, the gliss and then the impact of the powerful, thunder-like bass are a perfect combination. At 1:42, the notes are dancing beautifully together, like fragments of a falling meteorite crashing to Earth. At 1:56, there is conflict created between opposing sides, but in they end they become friends and do amazing things together. At 2:21, remembering the beautiful, sweet memories of the past, and At 2:35, looking to the shimmering future ahead.
I am crying.... Why does the anime end that way.... WHYYYYYYY!!! I SALUTE LELOUCH! FOR BRAVERY, HONOR, LOVE, AND FOR HEROIC ACTIONS NO MATTER HAD HAPPENED!
The fact that you could put this to sheet music while also adding your embellishments and executing them perfectly - you are my actual goals as a pianist.
Man, i’ve watched Code Geass about 5 times, and listening to this brings me back to why I love watching the anime. You’ve really brought out the essence of the anime, the feeling we get, thanks Animenz. You are amazing
This cover gives me so many emotions. so.. 0:00 Beautiful start with the crescendo to what we know as the beginning that grows into a firm plateau for the rest of the song 0:30 This motif (If i can call it that. don't know.) just pulls us in to want to know more. It literally tells us "Hey there's more but im jumping ahead so lemme continue" 0:59 the short gliss to something we established in the beginning 1:07 A change in what we know, makes us feel a little vulnerable 1:10 I like what the right hand is doing 1:28 Our second verse showing off some cool moves (in sound) 1:32 Chills, Left hand leads us in the melody to remind us what we kinda already know in a variation 1:40 Back to right hand to lead the melody. We are seeing strong dynamics it's like "Did I miss something? I'm following I promise!" 1:50 I want to call this a riff so bad, reminds me of Deltarune. It dances around the ear and it ends in something we know again. Almost as if this specific group of notes is so important. 1:55 Stress thats building like a rising action like there is a problem that we're trying to solve but we're stuck and it's *stressful* 1:58- 1:59 We're building that stress even more like "What do I do?!" Then we hit our climax which brings us almost steadily down. (Reminds me of C2 helping Lelouche in a way 2:12 we know this so well don't we? 2:23 Why are we so quiet, every time I hear this it's quite triumphant. Are you trying to tell me something? 2:40 Similar but different. This isn't like you. 2:48 This is the killing point of the song, imo 2:50 feels like emotions and memories washing over you. Not really like nostalgia almost like regret, but it's still the backbone of what we know 3:16 Gorgeous way almost like a denouement of a story. Tying up the ends of the story we didn’t know 3:27 It's the end of the story. We know that. But it doesn’t feel like the end. The journey was amazing. 3:35 all I can think about is at the end of an anime when the characters are all waving smiling with tears in their eyes. (Of joy)
Yep of course! On another note, so glad to see the series continue. The movie just came out, and last week was the code geass granblue event. And it was amazing
Also still watching it :D Sure more then 20 times now? o.O Dont know any more. xD Only Anime i watched before faszinateing me that harde was Hellsing...
NettoSaito I just finished watching the original anime for the first time, and I keep hearing about Code Geass movies but I can’t find them anywhere online. Do you know anywhere I could watch them?
(This will be a veeeeery long comment this is only the introduction paragraph lol) So I don't really know if someone will read this, but after 3 years of playing the piano (since 2019), I was kinda wondering what to play. I'm self taught and been avoiding classical since the beginning even though I know I'll have to go there at some point, I've learned the piano through different Halo soundtrack piano arrangements (notably Kyle Landry's Never forget that I never managed to finish, god damn arpeggios from the end made me give up), and other arrangements from Kyle (Dearly beloved 2017 and Passion, Dango Daikazoku was the one that I really was able to play from beginning to end). The only piece I've been close to finish from Animenz was Toki wo Kizamu Uta from his Key medley (and I'll will come back to it sooner or later). So a month ago I decided "why not challenge myself and try to learn colors ? since i love that song (and that anime)". Well a month later, and I've come to realize how ridiculously hard it is to play this piece a tempo. (what will follow will be just me "analyzing" the piece rambling about struggling at around 100bpm when the song is 138, but for real I love this piece, even though I'm breaking my head and my hands on it). The intro and intro chorus felt like hell at first but in the end once you know them and understand the sheet they are pretty ok (at least imo). My first problem comes 30seconds in (first verse) because that damn left hand plays a C/Eb which is hell when you have little hands (and Animenz loves doing those 10 notes gap in his arrangements iswtg). That alone kills me cause 7/10 times I will play a D in between the two notes and well, sounds bad y'know. And then you have the little run from the right hand too which is, by itself in theory, pretty ok, but managing to get the right tone and nuance on it is uuuuurgh. Next is the pre-chorus, and that's where the madness begins. The right hand from the first part gives me headaches because I can pull it off at a moderate speed but then I fuck it up when I try to speed up (typical pianist problem), same problem when I try to play both hand at the same time. Getting the major 3rd (the Bb/Db) on the scheme is something that I really struggle with, as well as getting my hand to play on two full octaves. But then, there's the second part of the pre-chorus at 45sec, and that left hand omggggg that scheme is hell. I think left hand alone I can take it up to maybe 115bpm, after that my hand just gives up (I know it isn't all about speed but I'm attached to that). The really challenging part for me is that octave jump, the Gb to Gb on the next octave (is it a jump?) in the run and having to land on the right note just after that (the jump itself is ok, but finding the notes following is another story, especially on practically only black keys), but the theory itself is kinda straight forward though so it's progressing slowly with both hands. Then you get to 1st chorus, with a re use of the 2nd scheme of the pre-chorus at 1:07, which is difficult at first, because not the chord you're used to play that scheme on, but once you get the hang of it it just flows automatically. 2nd verse I was scared off, cause I ain't really that confident of my right hand when it comes to what he plays, but the more you practice at low speed the more it builds the finger strength so in the long term it should be ok. The three hand technic itself (I think it's what it's called) was kind of weird at first, especially when trying to get the melody above the different layers of the music, gotta learn to lean on thumb strength more.But all in all, same deal to be honest, the more you practice it slowly the better it gets with time (well duh). AND THEN, the mfing solo. Honestly 1:42 to 1:50 is something I was scared of but it kinda is ok I wanna say? It still is hard to be able to play exactly in time the more you increase the speed I'll admit that (keep in mind, I am still at 100bpm max at this stage with both hands). The right hand scheme of 1:50 tho oh boy........ I struggled at first to find a good fingering for this but then I just decided to go with the flow and found something that kinda works, but getting the thumb to switch notes on every 16th notes is awful, really gotta work the bounciness and wrist rotation a lot if I want to make it work (this one part I am stuck at smth like 75bpm, so far I can't do more as dar as the right hand is concerned). 1:57, the left hand once again is scary asf until 2:03 but in the end it kinda is ok I feel. As for the right hand, what might seem difficult is 1:57 to 1:59, the octave jumps, but it all comes down to muscle memory on this, the more you work on it the better it'll get. I've tried to get the entire solo left hand alone a tempo and that shit is a nightmare, albeit a very funny one not gonna lie, my hand wants to die but I've managed it once or twice. I've started to work on 2:03 to the end of the solo a couple days ago and it's getting there little by little. Same goes for 2:22 to 2:35. And that's as far as I've gone so far, I'll keep on working on this piece cause for real it's a really fun one to practice, and I feel like I'm making progress on the piece but also on my technics and expressions. When I'll be able to play it from start to finish a tempo tho ? I don't really know, but I hope and want to get there so I will work toward that goal. And lastly I want to thank Animenz for providing such good arrangements every time. Because I avoided classical pieces I was kinda lost when it came to what to play. But ever since I discovered the anime medium, and with that Animenz around the end of 2020, the over flowing amount of arrangements I discovered from him really made me want to improve and practice once again. So thank you for reignating the flame Kyle Landry first lit up when I was a kid 10 years ago Animenz (cause yeah it took me about 7 years to start learning lol), thank you for giving me and all of us the inspiration and dedication to play the instrument we love. Thank you if you've read this far, man you're dedicated if you've read all that
Watching Code Geass made me cry even more than Your Lie in April, even though I was spoiled on the ending. Thank you for creating this masterpiece. All hail Lelouch vi Britannia and all hail Animenz
*****Spoiler alert***** Same bruh i read the death of lelouch at the end of R2 in a review on google and was thinking okay he dies and still i couldn't stop myself when that happened....i have nvr ever cried this much in any movie/webseries/anime.... lelouch we miss you ❤️
This transcription is the best ever for COLORS from the start to the end, every single detail on this piece was very beautiful. This made me think of what will TH-cam be like in the future. Piano. Piano everywhere! I honestly cried through the whole thing. You and Theishter are holding the foundation of anime musicians.
Woah, what an epic surprise upload. JIBUN WO~! :D Congratulations on a very well deserved 400k subs! Thank you a million times over for all of your beautiful, masterful work, and for inspiring myself and this awesome community. I was so excited to hear you'd be coming to Canada but unfortunately I'm on the other side of the country and can't afford the trip... either way, I hope all goes well and I look forward to listening to your awesome music in the future. :)
I love how although Tehishter has done an arrangement of this already you choose to do one of your own. It really allows your own individual styles to shine. Excellent.
Andj004 When I see the usual players post the same songs with such different styles and sound to them but with such great emotions still resonating from each it reminds me of why I love music so much^^! Of course this is not limited to just Anime or Piano music!
this music is so relaxing, i've just been listening your songs one after one and i just want to tell you that you have amazing skills and that your videos are awesome. keep up your great work!! i am myself a piano player and i wish i knew as many songs as you do. you're a literally a god, thanks for making these videos
I love you piano videos that you have done. They have really helped me achieve my goal into becoming a musician. I hope that other will be inspired by the work that you do. “High-five”
"~The moment I've been waiting for is so close, like it's right next to me. I'll take control and change the very world I know!~" 0:10 to 0:21 Loved that part.
So it's finally gonna get a sequal this year, though i didn't want it and they changes jibun woo op for the rebroadcast happening now , damn Moroever , the 3rd season will not be related to r1 or r2 It would be a sequal to resurrection movie , named z of the recapture
6 years later and I am still here in awe at this beautiful arrangement. I hope to one day be able to play this arrangement but who am I kidding I am probably just going to continue listening to this masterpiece
This is one of my favorite songs from an anime that I've heard and I can sing it to. Now I know I can use this for when I make a cover for it in the future.😊🐉🐘
Never try to play Animenz or Kyle's pieces unless you are an expert. Trust I'm a beginner and I tried to play some of Kyle's pieces, didn't go very well.
I've just finished season 1 and I'm loving it. Definetly gonna go ahead and finish the anime. I've heared great things and i wanted to check it out. Definetly not a mistake
all these years and code geass is still my favorite anime, ever. definitely won't change, just like how you are my favorite pianist. i met you both when i was so young and idolised both:) thank you for your work
I'll keep them close Every passing moment That feels like it might Change the world But till that day They’ll always be like a part of me This sick aggravation Won't approve And I just wanna hide But I can't move Despite all my worries and troubles Conviction it crumbles But I can’t decide When to stand up and fight With this one word You gave me With one word You saved me This haze of doubt Is melting away You're like the light Bright, it shines from above Into the dark empty room of my heart The sky above's An endless blue of sapphire It's color inviting me there So I let open the window That I always kept shut I'll keep them close Every passing moment That feels like it might Change the world But till that day They'll always be like a part of me Another dull day rising again Where I'm searching for Answers I won't get They must exist Ooooohhhhhh Ooooohhhhhh If I turn back to That soft gentle voice Would it lead me to The light of the sun? I won’t forget Your unexpected smile It’s like the light That shines from above When I let open the window That I always kept shut I'll keep them close Every passing moment That feels like it might Change the world Until that day When it is standing in front of me The sky above’s An endless blue of sapphire It's color inviting me there So I let open the window That I always kept shut I'll keep them close Every passing moment That feels like it might Change the world But till that day They'll always be like a part of me Yeeeaaahhh So spread your wings And reach out to the light and you’ll see
I started crying when I heard the start. It's so much more dramatic on the piano. 10/10 piano cover for a 10/10 anime.
I don’ t think it’ s dramatic, but emotional...
Very emotional, had to go rewatch it
same
like anwar riady says i think is emotional
Wait till this man sees full metal alchemist:botherhood(3yrs late lol)
THE NOSTALGIA...I WANNA REWATCH CODE GEASS AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS
The nostalgia almost made me cry
human garbage its on Netflix
I can't
I'm not strong enough
To watch him d...
how to re-watch?
I watched it just 3 days ago, seriously this anime was depressing, but still an undeniable masterpiece, what an anime.
All hail Lelouch!
All hail Animenz!
丶野凉橙 thats funny because he is german xD...
We shouldn't do that in public in germany xD
All hail il duc--- oh wait wrong dictator
lelouch is supposed to be british
Dba CFO they meant that Animenz is German. He has Chinese lineage though (?)
Nadira Nan W he lives in Germany and grew up there
Truly one of the greatest anime
easily!!!
Remove "one of" and I agree.
Without doubt the greatest
@@c.c7490 evangellion was better
@@zorkk2000 nah boy I'd always take code geass over any anime even if I haven't watched them
The moment I heard this, my life changed. Everything I saw, everything I heard, everything I felt… all the scenery around me started to take color.
Protagonist *colors* indeed ;)

Hopefully people get the Shigatsu reference.
Protagonist ayy...... ;_;
Aw man, nice reference.

And still refusing to acknowledge Zero Requiem.
He's still alive. He is. Damn it, HE. IS. NOT. DEAD.
Lol, he actually is alive (as shown in the japanese ending). Not sure if you already knew, but I didnt know this myself for a good while. I though he was actually dead ;_;
For all those naysayers:
Do you really think Lelouch of all people would just let himself die?
R3 will describe it all
I kinda knew after a few breakdowns here and there when I finished the anime.
But the greedy human I am, I want someone to scream at the whole world every awesome thing he has done behind the curtains and every shit he gave for those ungrateful vermins. And that he's too cool to be killed by a mortal wound from this particular troublesome ungrateful asshole frontstabbing so-called-childhood-friend of his. He should be the Emperor of the whole frickin world for eternity. Damn damn damn I'm pretty sure I'm obsessed with him. I ramble everytime I touch this topic plsexcusemyLelouchcomplex
Deth Hyperion There is going to be a season 3, so don't sorry about it.
The anime world will be COLORless without Animenz.
Ahaha

Earione WHAAAAAAAAAAT, GO AND WATCH IT. One of the first anime i saw.
Joey One of my first anime too!
Rui ruii my first was sword art online, 2th fullmetal alchemist brotherhood (number1), 3th Angel Beats and the 4th was Code Geass
Joey Oh wow XD my firsts was like really the old ones like Pokemon, Zatchbell, one piece, naruto, digimon, rockman exe etc etc
Even after years of watching this anime, this theme still gives me chills when I watch you play. Beautiful performance!
Lelouch is one of the best anime protagonists I've ever seen. I have seen a fair bit of shit hitting the fan, but the fan got absolutely fucking BARRIED under the piles of shit just constantly dumping onto it. I was so emotionally drained after code geass that madoka majicka ( the next anime i watched) didnt even fucking faze me
if that didn't faze you oh god well I watched madoka magica a while after code geass so.
but both are great anime S
in my opinion code geass is something you really can watch once wait a few years watch again and understand it better and repeat because it's that good
If you were emotionally drained after this, you should watch a lie in april, then tell me how you feel. 😂👍🏾
Lol that's exactly how I felt after finally watching Gurren Lagann
+Carrick Schreiner oh god don't remind me about what happened to Nia!!!!
+Pony With An AK from the beginning of akame ga kill you knew there was no happy ending for those guys, but you kept watching because of morbid curiosity on how it will play out. I actually cried when koro sensei died in Assassination classroom, because that was the only real time we experienced loss in the show. Code Geass was a constant barrage of shit getting worse and worse for characters we grew to love. Leaving me drained from the constant waves of despair.
who else screamed "JIBUN WOOOO "
isn't that just normal
O-O ME TOOOO
I did
Also "MIYAETA"!!!!
JIBUN WOOOO SEKAI SAEMOOO
I love this song and Animenz' arrangement so much!
At 0:59, the gliss and then the impact of the powerful, thunder-like bass are a perfect combination.
At 1:42, the notes are dancing beautifully together, like fragments of a falling meteorite crashing to Earth.
At 1:56, there is conflict created between opposing sides, but in they end they become friends and do amazing things together.

I've always loved the sound of piano and anime so this is perfect.
The fact that you could put this to sheet music while also adding your embellishments and executing them perfectly - you are my actual goals as a pianist.
Man, i’ve watched Code Geass about 5 times, and listening to this brings me back to why I love watching the anime. You’ve really brought out the essence of the anime, the feeling we get, thanks Animenz. You are amazing
This cover gives me so many emotions.
so..
0:00 Beautiful start with the crescendo to what we know as the beginning that grows into a firm plateau for the rest of the song
0:30 This motif (If i can call it that. don't know.) just pulls us in to want to know more. It literally tells us "Hey there's more but im jumping ahead so lemme continue"
0:59 the short gliss to something we established in the beginning
1:07 A change in what we know, makes us feel a little vulnerable
1:10 I like what the right hand is doing
1:28 Our second verse showing off some cool moves (in sound)
1:32 Chills, Left hand leads us in the melody to remind us what we kinda already know in a variation
1:40 Back to right hand to lead the melody. We are seeing strong dynamics it's like "Did I miss something? I'm following I promise!"
1:50 I want to call this a riff so bad, reminds me of Deltarune. It dances around the ear and it ends in something we know again. Almost as if this specific group of notes is so important.
1:55 Stress thats building like a rising action like there is a problem that we're trying to solve but we're stuck and it's *stressful*
1:58- 1:59 We're building that stress even more like "What do I do?!" Then we hit our climax which brings us almost steadily down. (Reminds me of C2 helping Lelouche in a way
2:12 we know this so well don't we?
2:23 Why are we so quiet, every time I hear this it's quite triumphant. Are you trying to tell me something?
2:40 Similar but different. This isn't like you.
2:48 This is the killing point of the song, imo
2:50 feels like emotions and memories washing over you. Not really like nostalgia almost like regret, but it's still the backbone of what we know
3:16 Gorgeous way almost like a denouement of a story. Tying up the ends of the story we didn’t know
3:27 It's the end of the story. We know that. But it doesn’t feel like the end. The journey was amazing.
3:35 all I can think about is at the end of an anime when the characters are all waving smiling with tears in their eyes. (Of joy)
Makes me shiver how amazing this arrangement of this already great song is
I'm so happy this cover exists literally my fav show of all time

June 27
July 26
NettoSaito I just finished watching the original anime for the first time, and I keep hearing about Code Geass movies but I can’t find them anywhere online. Do you know anywhere I could watch them?
(This will be a veeeeery long comment this is only the introduction paragraph lol) So I don't really know if someone will read this, but after 3 years of playing the piano (since 2019), I was kinda wondering what to play. I'm self taught and been avoiding classical since the beginning even though I know I'll have to go there at some point, I've learned the piano through different Halo soundtrack piano arrangements (notably Kyle Landry's Never forget that I never managed to finish, god damn arpeggios from the end made me give up), and other arrangements from Kyle (Dearly beloved 2017 and Passion, Dango Daikazoku was the one that I really was able to play from beginning to end). The only piece I've been close to finish from Animenz was Toki wo Kizamu Uta from his Key medley (and I'll will come back to it sooner or later).
So a month ago I decided "why not challenge myself and try to learn colors ? since i love that song (and that anime)". Well a month later, and I've come to realize how ridiculously hard it is to play this piece a tempo. (what will follow will be just me "analyzing" the piece rambling about struggling at around 100bpm when the song is 138, but for real I love this piece, even though I'm breaking my head and my hands on it).
The intro and intro chorus felt like hell at first but in the end once you know them and understand the sheet they are pretty ok (at least imo). My first problem comes 30seconds in (first verse) because that damn left hand plays a C/Eb which is hell when you have little hands (and Animenz loves doing those 10 notes gap in his arrangements iswtg). That alone kills me cause 7/10 times I will play a D in between the two notes and well, sounds bad y'know. And then you have the little run from the right hand too which is, by itself in theory, pretty ok, but managing to get the right tone and nuance on it is uuuuurgh.
Next is the pre-chorus, and that's where the madness begins. The right hand from the first part gives me headaches because I can pull it off at a moderate speed but then I fuck it up when I try to speed up (typical pianist problem), same problem when I try to play both hand at the same time. Getting the major 3rd (the Bb/Db) on the scheme is something that I really struggle with, as well as getting my hand to play on two full octaves. But then, there's the second part of the pre-chorus at 45sec, and that left hand omggggg that scheme is hell. I think left hand alone I can take it up to maybe 115bpm, after that my hand just gives up (I know it isn't all about speed but I'm attached to that). The really challenging part for me is that octave jump, the Gb to Gb on the next octave (is it a jump?) in the run and having to land on the right note just after that (the jump itself is ok, but finding the notes following is another story, especially on practically only black keys), but the theory itself is kinda straight forward though so it's progressing slowly with both hands.
Then you get to 1st chorus, with a re use of the 2nd scheme of the pre-chorus at 1:07, which is difficult at first, because not the chord you're used to play that scheme on, but once you get the hang of it it just flows automatically.
2nd verse I was scared off, cause I ain't really that confident of my right hand when it comes to what he plays, but the more you practice at low speed the more it builds the finger strength so in the long term it should be ok. The three hand technic itself (I think it's what it's called) was kind of weird at first, especially when trying to get the melody above the different layers of the music, gotta learn to lean on thumb strength more.But all in all, same deal to be honest, the more you practice it slowly the better it gets with time (well duh).
AND THEN, the mfing solo. Honestly 1:42 to 1:50 is something I was scared of but it kinda is ok I wanna say? It still is hard to be able to play exactly in time the more you increase the speed I'll admit that (keep in mind, I am still at 100bpm max at this stage with both hands). The right hand scheme of 1:50 tho oh boy........ I struggled at first to find a good fingering for this but then I just decided to go with the flow and found something that kinda works, but getting the thumb to switch notes on every 16th notes is awful, really gotta work the bounciness and wrist rotation a lot if I want to make it work (this one part I am stuck at smth like 75bpm, so far I can't do more as dar as the right hand is concerned). 1:57, the left hand once again is scary asf until 2:03 but in the end it kinda is ok I feel. As for the right hand, what might seem difficult is 1:57 to 1:59, the octave jumps, but it all comes down to muscle memory on this, the more you work on it the better it'll get. I've tried to get the entire solo left hand alone a tempo and that shit is a nightmare, albeit a very funny one not gonna lie, my hand wants to die but I've managed it once or twice. I've started to work on 2:03 to the end of the solo a couple days ago and it's getting there little by little. Same goes for 2:22 to 2:35.
And that's as far as I've gone so far, I'll keep on working on this piece cause for real it's a really fun one to practice, and I feel like I'm making progress on the piece but also on my technics and expressions. When I'll be able to play it from start to finish a tempo tho ? I don't really know, but I hope and want to get there so I will work toward that goal.
And lastly I want to thank Animenz for providing such good arrangements every time. Because I avoided classical pieces I was kinda lost when it came to what to play. But ever since I discovered the anime medium, and with that Animenz around the end of 2020, the over flowing amount of arrangements I discovered from him really made me want to improve and practice once again. So thank you for reignating the flame Kyle Landry first lit up when I was a kid 10 years ago Animenz (cause yeah it took me about 7 years to start learning lol), thank you for giving me and all of us the inspiration and dedication to play the instrument we love.
Thank you if you've read this far, man you're dedicated if you've read all that
I could not help but sing along to this
-JIBUN WO SEKAI SAE MO-
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

All hail Britania!
+Mc Zero All hail Britannia and Bocchan.
Well he's dead know :-:
+ken kaneki Nop, he's still alive
I love how although Tehishter has done an arrangement of this already you choose to do one of your own. It really allows your own individual styles to shine. Excellent.
Andj004 When I see the usual players post the same songs with such different styles and sound to them but with such great emotions still resonating from each it reminds me of why I love music so much^^!
Of course this is not limited to just Anime or Piano music!
We need to say that to Kyle and Akmigone so they would FINALY make there own version of Unravel
When I hear your piano songs I realize that there's treasures hidden in the world and I am glad that I get to hear them. ^^
We never left ;)
Just a fellow anime pianist here admiring your cover. Have a brofist

lulu is back :3
This would take a Master pianist to play correctly. Holy crap
Who can't stop coming back to this masterpiece?
This is one of my favorite songs from an anime that I've heard and I can sing it to. Now I know I can use this for when I make a cover for it in the future.😊🐉🐘
Is this a piece of art?
HI YOUR MAJESTY
何度も聴いてしまいます✨
*"Ahh... Pizza..."*
-C.C.
After just finishing Code Geass I wanted to try play this... *looks at sheet music*... shit.
+super slime haha
Never try to play Animenz or Kyle's pieces unless you are an expert. Trust I'm a beginner and I tried to play some of Kyle's pieces, didn't go very well.
+William Côté (Sephiroth's son) If you are grade 5 and above you should be able to play them. (not saying they are easy or anything...)
+Chronical V You cant play this if your only grade 5 in piano
庞景宇 Excuse me I was grade 5 when I started playing Animenz songs.
one of my best anime ops and also one of my favorite covers of animenz 🤩💖
Mine too
i'll never understand how its 2020 and this masterpiece only has 78k likes.
I've just finished season 1 and I'm loving it. Definetly gonna go ahead and finish the anime. I've heared great things and i wanted to check it out. Definetly not a mistake
all these years and code geass is still my favorite anime, ever. definitely won't change, just like how you are my favorite pianist. i met you both when i was so young and idolised both:) thank you for your work
**music starts**
JIBUUUN WOOO!!!!
My favorite part : 00:53
so beautiful and elegant to my ears.
I'll keep them close
Every passing moment
That feels like it might
Change the world
But till that day
They’ll always be like a part of me
This sick aggravation
Won't approve
And I just wanna hide
But I can't move
Despite all my worries and troubles
Conviction it crumbles
But I can’t decide
When to stand up and fight
With this one word
You gave me
With one word
You saved me
This haze of doubt
Is melting away
You're like the light
Bright, it shines from above
Into the dark empty room of my heart
The sky above's
An endless blue of sapphire
It's color inviting me there
So I let open the window
That I always kept shut
I'll keep them close
Every passing moment
That feels like it might
Change the world
But till that day
They'll always be like a part of me
Another dull day rising again
Where I'm searching for
Answers I won't get
They must exist
Ooooohhhhhh
Ooooohhhhhh
If I turn back to
That soft gentle voice
Would it lead me to
The light of the sun?
I won’t forget
Your unexpected smile
It’s like the light
That shines from above
When I let open the window
That I always kept shut
I'll keep them close
Every passing moment
That feels like it might
Change the world
Until that day
When it is standing in front of me
The sky above’s
An endless blue of sapphire
It's color inviting me there
So I let open the window
That I always kept shut
I'll keep them close
Every passing moment
That feels like it might
Change the world
But till that day
They'll always be like a part of me
Yeeeaaahhh
So spread your wings
And reach out to the light and you’ll see
