    My Steinway Piano is finally back! After being separated for more than 8 months, I am so happy to be able to play on a grand piano again. It took me almost one week of nonstop practice to get used to the heavy keys of a Steinway again because I was playing on an electrical piano since January 2021.
    To celebrate the return of my instrument, I decided to upload the much-requested song「There is a Reason」from『No Game No Life: Zero』, which is essentially the spiritual successor of my 「This Game」piano arrangement. They both feature extensive arpeggio passages, fast three-hand techniques and a super exciting finale part - with other words: Just pure fun to play!
    I used a very uncommon left-hand pattern in the first chorus in 1:11, because I really liked how the guitar instrument is building up the tension in the original song and I wanted to imitate that sound on the piano. I can’t believe a simple octave left hand pattern can actually sound that exciting - sometimes simple is really the best.
    My favorite part of the original song is the key change in 3:36 because I absolutely didn’t expect the chorus being played in E-minor instead of F#-minor. Usually, J-pop songs are using the key change for the final repeat of the chorus, but「There is a Reason」 basically reversed that order. Really awesome passage and I actually consider this as the actual climax of the entire song. That’s why I omitted the pedal on the piano for this part to make it stand out even more.
    Last but not least, I was actually planning to play a small modulation in 3:50 to make a smoother transition from E-minor back to F#-minor, but I realized the best flow of music is achieved by simply jumping back to F# minor, like the original song. A quick glissando is really the ultimate “cheat code” if you want to do a key change instantly!
    Alright, thank you for reading this week’s “Animenz Explains” column!
    With my new recording studio fully set up, I will continue with my “Best of Anime Movie theme songs” upload in the next week as well!
    And it's a song from the popular Fate/Stay Night - Heaven’s Feel Movie!
    See you next week again!

I loved everything about this so much, it's really so beautiful. The lighting, the way Moonlamp Chan adds the visual spectacles of the previous arc, and of course this incredible arrangement.
      Great to have you back Animenz!
      Edit: Was the arpeggio at 3:50 similar to or the same as one of the arpeggios in your Butter-Fly arrangement? Just a weird little coincidence I noticed, if true.

    Congratulations on getting back the Steinway D274 Spirio R Grand Piano. This is absolutely a stunning arrangement, and it gave me lots of nostalgic vibes. I also look forward to your future development Animenz!
    Here are my favorite highlights of this arrangement:
    I really like the quiet beginning, sounds exactly like the original song. At 0:32, I love the gentle bass notes, it sounds heavy but warm.
    0:48 gentle "cross-hand" technique, serve as a very nice simple 3 hand technique.
    1:13 The entire atmosphere is built up with dynamic octave patterns. As you said, simple is the best. The pattern here has also reminded me of the first verse of your Kaikai Kitan arrangement.
    1:44 The second verse starts with 3 hand technique, the LH patterns used in the first verse are now moved to the RH and served as a nice contrast with the previous part.
    2:12 The combination between staccato and fast LH arpeggios has formed a nice pre-chorus part.
    2:44 I really like how you arranged this part. While LH is playing bass notes and melody at the same time, RH plays fast arpeggios. It has reminded me of the last chorus of your The Everlasting Guilty Crown arrangement. Very fancy passage.
    3:36 is 10/10 my favorite part of this arrangement. As you said, this part DESERVE it! The release of the pedal, strong RH decorations, and powerful bass notes simply exploded this part and set the entire arrangement on fire.
    3:56 After an octave glissando, the entire arrangement has entered the final part. Glissando can always serve as a fast and convenient transition while arranging anime piano covers. The following fast LH arpeggios have built a "sound wall" for the entire song. This part has definitely reminded me of your arrangement of This Game, Swordland, and unravel. Feels nostalgic!
    Another wonderful arrangement by Animenz! Good luck with your next upload!

    U build youtube channel from zero -> got many fans -> when u have fame and community your ex agency try to break you down -> you got separated from your piano -> not giving up -> starting all over again -> got all the support from your fans -> finally u made a breakthrough and walked away from your hellish moment. I mean literally u made us believe : there is always hope and good ending for someone who never give up.
    Thanks for the music and your life lesson 😍🥰

    The continuous low bass notes really take good advantage of the 9-foot concert grand, but i am quite surprised that you use the deepest bass note in the first chorus ,usually you save that for the last chorus when the song reaches its climax .some highlight for this arrangement:
    The three hand techniques at 2:43 and 3:36 really stands out from the other,especially the 3:36 with slightly staccato is genius .i think the reason your arrangements attract me so much is because you can always surprise me with the deploy of different sound texture.
    The left hand arpeggios and right hand B note tremolo at 3:51 is almost identical to your Departure (guilty crown)arrangement .The left hand octave glissando at 3:57 reminds me of your Daisy arrangement,and the following left hand arpeggios at 3:58 reminds me of your swordland arrangement, the satisfying D note in 4:10 is also a nice touch, Finally ,the sound wall at 4:31 by fast upward scales is a big release for the tension which gives me the same vibe as your unlasting arrangement although in unlasting you use fast downward arpeggios instead of upward scales to create that release effect.Masterpiece as usual! Lastly, Animenz, if it's possible, I hope the video you make in the future can have higher angle just like your 2020 video to include the damper head of piano in the sight so we can know how you use the pedal(e.g. the camera angle of your 2021 this game video and this there is a reason video isn't high enough, the damper head is out of sight) , thank you!!!

    The name of the *game* in this cover for me is deep resounding bass. It really serves as the foundation upon which the rest of the elements reside.
    My personal play-by-play for this cover:
    0:31 - deep bass note here sets the tone for the introductory verse
    0:54 - slow yet deliberate countermelody in the RH rings so nicely
    1:11 - first chorus LH - simple yet effective marching bass. it's not often that i see an Animenz go down to one LH note, but the unexpected contrast works nicely here
    1:43 - second verse RH - light upper voice harmony rings nicely
    2:18 - deep bass in the middle of the second pre-chorus punches so nicely
    2:43 - The signature arpeggio countermelodies from the og This Game cover make their first appearance!
    3:18 - Chill upbeat bridge, a nice change of pace from the intensity of the rest of the piece
    3:33 - Arpeggio build up to pseudo third chorus gave me chills
    3:36 - Ringing upper RH chords so nice
    3:55 - Key change into another beautifully arpeggiated final chorus :O
    4:18 and 4:25 - Strong bookend motifs to cap off the final chorus
    4:32 - All of the massive build-up suddenly subsides in resonance, serving as a backdrop for the soft outro
    The Animenz Season 2 end card gave me chills. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

      @Animenzzz  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I also realized it's the first time I am using such a massive bass note like the C# before the chorus has even started. Perhaps I just fell in love with the satisfactory bass note sound on the grand piano, haha

    YESSSS!!! It's back and it's glorious. I'm going to have to rewatch it again to confirm but I surprisingly feel like it was a lot more "lighter" and "hopeful" in a sense than what I expected.
    My interpretation was probabpy a more archaic and dark one so this one definitely took me by suprise.
    Now that the Steinway's back I guess you'll be on it 24/7 re-acclimating to it so I can't wait to see what's up next. Either way, I'm glad "There is a reason" got to be the comeback song for the grand.
    Also, you bamboozled us with the disco ball didn't ya. He seems happy not retiring.

    • @Animenzzz

    By far, I really love your Sparkle lighting with the blue-purple-yellow ambiences.

    This upload has exceeded all my expectations! I never expected this new set up with the lighting. I really liked the darker look with the contrast of the moon lamp. When the lights turned on, I was definitely surprised. The look of the grand is always a nice return, the reflection of the keys and fingers were something I never thought I would miss until it was gone. The arrangement itself was amazing! I liked the improvised sounding ending. The final chorus left hand with the inversion arpeggios definitely were a nice touch. I haven’t heard those in a while. It reminded me of some of your older arrangements. Well, now I see that you kind of closed the book on the digital piano age. Your last upload before the nord was a NGNL OP and your newest upload after the nord is a NGNL song. I guess you really are a fan of symmetry! 🤣
