“Do I have any right after I killed so many people as a weapon? I must have prevented them from keeping promises of their own! Promises they made to loved ones of their own! Everything I’ve done so far has sparked a flame that is now burning me up.” - Violet Evergarden
- no spoiler - She was innocent at heart. She shouldn't be blamed as she was just used just like a weapon and she clearly don't know what she was doing at the time. She just wanted to be with captain and keep him safe as much as possible.
Me too, it will always hold a special place in my heart till the day I die, and Kyoto Animation for bringing it to life as an anime, this masterpiece of animation and story telling :)
Violet Evergarden for me was one of the most special anime, it really moves me to my deepest senses. I greatly felt every episode and cried like a kid even though I'm an adult. It really is a masterpiece after all.
An actual story about Animenz and Sincerely that I witnessed last year July 22nd, 2019, a few days after the tragic Kyoani accident, Animenz fan meeting was held in Guangzhou City, China. The fan meeting began with a very happy and exciting atmosphere because it was an awesome chance for us all to meet up with our favorite pianist. During Q & A session, most of the audiences asked normal questions about Animenz's musical experience, favorite anime, etc. However, suddenly a lady raised her hand, stood up from her seat in silence, and then started talking with crying: "The accident happened to Kyoani a few days ago was a disaster for all anime fans. We are really painful and sad after that. Animenz, would you like to play some Kyoani songs here?" After a moment's silence, Animenz said he would like to play some improvisations. The entire atmosphere has changed from happy to sorrow dramatically. Then, Animenz started to improvise a Kyoani medley. Fortunately, Sincerely was contained. I tried my best to hold my tears during this beautiful and fantastic moment. It was so moving and nostalgic. This medley also contained songs from Air, Clannad, etc. That moment was one of the most beautiful memories of my life. And thanks to Animenz, I was reminded of all the special feelings that Kyoani has brought to me. A few weeks later, I visited Japan, and I also visited the Kyoani studio which got burned. The entire building was enclosed. And I could clearly see that a beautiful yellow building has turned into a tragic brown and black building. After presenting flowers, I started to talk to the local policeman there. He got to know that I came from China, then he bowed to me, and said "Thanks for coming to Japan!" Tears came down of my face endlessly. That moment was one of the most painful moments that I have ever experienced. Even now, my eyes would be filled with tears whenever I think of that moment. After a year, at this memorial date. Animenz finally officially uploaded this arrangement. Thank you so much for being so kind to all anime fans. This accident remarks one of the darkest days in the anime world. But in this comment, I want to tell every anime fan that, please stand together and defend our community. We don't want anything like this to happen again. Rest in Peace, 36 victims. Thanks for all the masterpieces and beautiful memories that you have brought us. And thank you Animenz, for standing with us, for cheering us up, for making contributions to the anime world. We are always grateful.
I hate that it hurt so many people and the fact that it killed more than half the people in the building, totalling *70* . I was also reading this while the song was playing and made me tear up a little
@@orange8907 If that's a question Kyoto Animations, the studio which created violet evergarden and a ton of other amazing anime movies and series had an arson attack in 2019. Taking the lives of a handful of people who worked on violet evergarden and several others who worked at the studio during the the time of the attack. Tolling 36 lives in total. :'(
Can we just appreciate how he learns a whole new song every WEEK?! Not only does he learn it but he makes his own cover version and it sounds so amazing plus he's able to play super fast and beautiful this person is literally a god guys.
Actually he already knows those songs but never uploaded here You can search Animenz live (Theishter too) and you will find songs that he hasn't uploaded.

KyoAni gave us so many legendary anime such as this one and to hear Animenz play it makes me grateful to be alive even in these hard times with lock down and Covid-19 To think that many of the creators died in the arson makes me tear up. Thank you for all the wonderful anime and for making our lives better! #PrayforKyoAni
Most people doesn't really understand how well his piano is tuned. It is so important, yet often overlooked. I am so grateful for your effort on maintaining the finest music experience. Both the instrument and pianist are definition of quality. You really plays a steinway the way it should be. Kudos.
If you ever feel like you lose the passion for playing the piano, just watch any of animenz performances and you will learn to appreciate the beautiful sounds you can create by pressing the piano keys again.
100% agree, I play mostly by ear, but I tend to get into a rut where I feel like I don't know how to improve or I'm just stuck and bored, but listening to this channel inspires me to try things I never have and absolutely sparks my passion for piano again! 🎹🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🎹
"Watashi nande naiterun darou?" I'm not usually one to outright tear up when listening to music, but there's something about this particular performance that brought tears to my eyes. The soft entrance brought me chills, and then the moment the scale run cut in at 1:45, it brought over an entire wave of emotions that would not subside, the same way that the right hand unleashed a continuous stream of poignant notes at that point. I expected a normal chorus entrance, but instead I got an instant feels trip entrance ticket instead. It also brought back the same exact pattern as the pre-chorus section in the second OP portion of your Nagi no Asukara medley, one of my favorite arrangements by you, which further contributed to the wave of emotions Just like how several patterns and sections from your arrangements have stuck with me, 5:11 is one of those moments that will stick with me for a long time. The tremolo creates an atmosphere of tension that grows and grows until it releases and boils over as the chorus melody comes back in. I'm also working on a special Violet Evergarden medley at the moment, and have been struggling for a while with how I want the Sincerely Chorus to come out. Listening to this gave me a bit of clarity on the emotions I want to invoke and the musical picture I want to paint with that section. Thank you for continuously giving me inspirational moments like these to push me through my writing blocks. Indeed, your musical voice has reached and touched me and several others, and that means the world to me as well. See you next time! #PrayforKyoani
I was unconsciously smiling almost through out the song. I could literally count on one hand how many times this has happened to me. He kinda (way) outdid himself with this one (And I suspect the original is nothing to scoff at too). Honestly, I have no clue what the anime is about, but after hearing the music (Michishirube too), I have to look it up.
I thought this piece would be a thousand times better than anything I could ever play, a thousand times better than any tribute I could've given, a thousand times higher quality than I could ever play. Looking at this masterpiece, I should've guessed a much higher number.
@@fennoqueven I’m a pianist but unfortunately some things are out of our reach metaphorically and physically. I’ve got pretty small hands (max stretch from like c to d#) and large arpeggio chords like in Chopin’s Nocturne op 48 no 1 or even the start of Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz are difficult to play at the right tempo…
@Luke Su You have a good point, though what I'm really trying to get across is the emotional concept of still trying and not seeing things as just 'beyond me'. Physical constraints are a pain, as we both have found (I too have only a ninth maximum reach), but not all virtuosic pieces and arrangements include tenths or uncomfortable arpeggios such as the works of Liszt.
I've been waiting for this ever since he covered Michishirube. I'm genuinely so hyped for this. Can't believe it's been a year since that horrifying attack. Thank you KyoAni and thank you Animenz for helping us smile in these dark times. #Pray4KyoAni
Gigguk once said in his KyoAni video: " I don't even know if the people who made this are alive anymore."... To the 36 people that passed away, and to KyoAni themselves... Thank you for creating the animes you have made. and to Animenz... thank you for making this tribute, I'm proud to admit that I cried to listening to this... it was a great arrangement.
Just finished my ielts exam today and i felt so tired driving home. But after watching this video, the whole burden was lifted and its amazing how music does its magic. Have a good day everyone!
Yes. I loved Violet Evergarden. When I first saw the description, I thought it was a mecha. I just didn't understand and put it off. My oh my, was I ever in the wrong. Hopefully it does in fact get a second season.
Remembering the horrible tragedy that happened around 10:30am, this time last year makes my heart hurt. Kyoto Animation was a gift to the world. Praying for all those who had lost a loved one in Japan. Thank you for this reminder. I can't wait for this cover, although I can't see myself watching and listening without crying.
I am speechless, it is unbelievable how much he expresses with his emotions while playing this piece. I could cry again every time I see something like that, how much love and effort has gone into this masterpiece.
This piano arrangement is the most beautiful I have heard. On this day, exactly 1 year ago when I watched it streamed live, it captured me in its 5 bar cage and I knew I had to learn it for myself, nevermind that I was more or less a complete beginner. I could play simple songs but I wasn’t “good” in any means. That didn’t matter. I printed out a transcription and started. It took me many many months and so many hours of practice, sitting at that piano, but I am almost finished learning it. It’s the most difficult but flowing and wonderful interpretation of Violet Evergarden’s opening- the anime that started it all. I hope to no end that I can perform this in a way that does the notes on those pages the justice they deserve. It has taken me from a novice to a well seasoned pianist, and I have nobody to thank but you. From me and everyone else here, Thank you so much.
You have motivated me so much right now.. because am a beginner too and i don’t think i could ever play a hard song like this. But seeing your story makes me think otherwise :D thanks
Hi, I just wanted to say, you can do it! I'm in a similar situation! I wouldn't consider myself a complete beginner, this piece is arguably the most difficult by far. Have been learning for around 3 weeks and have gotten 2 passages from the 2nd and 3rd pages. It's soooo hard!! but I picked it up for the same reason as you, the anime and the arrangement is just so impactful and I love it so much I'd love to see you finish it!
can we all take time to appreciate how he adds such a detailed analysis of his playing in the description? it helps deepen my understanding of not only the theory behind such beautiful music but also the emotion that went into it.
This arrangement can be maximally moved by seeing and listening to the description in his overview section. Of course, I could be moved just by feeling the sound, but when I used his knowledge to think about his sound usage and his thoughts, everything matched and I couldn't stop crying. Thank you for the best impression ever. I'm sorry for using translation.
There are times when I'll go long periods of time without listening to your arrangements simply because I get caught up in life. But it's always nice to come back and hear these amazing arrangements. This channel and this music has been a huge inspiration for me ever since I discovered it as a teenager and continues to be an inspiration now that I've become an adult. Your arrangements are one of the main reasons I learned how to play piano and I will always be thankful for it. Thank you for all the amazing arrangements throughout the years and I hope you continue to enjoy what you do.
views shouldn't matter, but man this arrangement deserves so much more recognition. You made it masterfully Animenz! I have been playing it over and over again since its release
I love the story of the pianist, which is in the description, he showed his emotions and feelings for his love for anime and for Kyoani and it's almost 2 years since incident and I hope they can create a new masterpiece which gives the viewers new way of seeing life in terms of watching anime. I believe their ambition creating of slice of life genre of anime are their messages to us anime lovers that to live is to fight and survive. Thank you sir for for this touching piece I hope you could add more soon.🎶💕🎶
This is one of your most beautiful arrangements in my opinion, up there with My Dearest and My Soul, Your Beats!. Every one of your arrangements have been a blessing for me, and a reason to get through the week. I can feel how much you put into this arrangement, in particular. I truly hope the staff at KyoAni will be able to recover, along with their loved ones. Thank you, Animenz.
I really don't know how to express how much I love this arrangement. Every time I hear it it gives me the urge to run to my piano and start practising, despite knowing how far out of my reach it is in technical ability. I just wanted to say that you have created a masterpiece, and that I am extremely grateful for what you've contributed to this community. Thank you so much.
Animenz has this kind of unique sound of playing, I mean he has that colorful aura when he plays and the emotions he gives, he's one of the best pianist out there.
I`m so glad I started reading description during listening to this piece. I started following it before the most emotional part. Listening to your tribute knowing exactly what you meant to do, was something amazing. Tears just appeared naturally, when I was listening to the loudest part. For the first time in my life, I cried because something was just that beautiful. I can`t believe how deep and strong emotions were flowing from your piano. I`m very thankful for this experience. Wonderful arrangement, played beautifly. Thank you
That fast scale run at the start was incredible. The dual voicing was incredible! And I really liked that part at 4:20. Oh, and those extended sections were very creative. Overall, 11/10, great arrangement! Jebaited.
I feel a warm sensation in my heart hearing this song again after finishing the show. Its one of the very few songs that managed to touch my heart in a bittersweet way. Thank you Animenz for this wonderful arrangement, and also KyoAni for making such a memorable and touching anime.
Absolutely astonishing. Your rendition had me in tears! I had been wondering all these years if you'd create a Sincerely piano composition, and what you've given us is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you Animenz, and thank you Kyoani for all the wonderful anime you've given us over the years.
I was already kind of hyped from the beginning, then he pulls out the 30-second notes i believe and then i fall off my chair. mad respect Animenz, my fingers hurt from watching.
Just like a letter sailing in the wind, the notes of this arrangement have touched thousands. Thank you Animez, and thank you KyoAni. Glad to see after a year, you're both going strong
As someone who is emotionally inert to a point it's hard to feel like I belong around people this song makes me cry. The whole series made me cry when I watched it with a certain someone. Especially when it hit me why I liked it so much. In particular from the line "why am I crying" in the English version of this song.
man, you're luckier. I'm glad for you, and I sincerely wish to experience the same one day, since all I can resonate with is the first half of your comment.
It was sincerely (pun not intended) one of the best arrangement you came up with imo. The detailed description helped me to understand a bit more clearly everything that was happening, and especially that incorporation of Violet's main theme as an additional melody: this is briliant. I am generally a huge fan of leitmotivs in music so this kind of attention is very interesting. The polyphony is very predominant and the RH seems to be perpetually flourishing with all these embelishments, runs and arpeggios. I still can't believe it's been a year since KyoAni tragedy happened, and I still don't realize it totally, but I think it is the best tribute someone could hope for. Bravo for this amazing arrangement. I really like this "non-conventional" and free direction you're taking, it makes your work more unpredictable, and it surprises everytime, even when knowing the original song.
I agree, this new open path is really inspiring, and this song ... I have no .. words to describe it. Similar to Mahoutsekai new change, or my dearest piece 10 years ago.
So around 6:42 is where you got me to shed some silent tears. I’ll admit that. I also started nodding in agreement while said tears were coming out, because I understood you at that point. I understood the emotion you felt towards this piece and everything that went to making it a beautiful melody. The passion is insane, and your love for these people are immense to no compare. This was by far the greatest way to thank Kyoto Animation for all their hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. They’ve given us so much, and you’ve used your voice through YOUR notes... to give them the greatest piece of all. Thank you for making this. Thank you for being you, and thank you for pushing your hardest. #PrayForKyoAni
“You’re going to learn a lot of things, But it might be easier to keep living, if you didn’t learn them, if you didn’t know them. You don’t realize your body is on fire and burning up because of the things you did. You’ll understand one day. And then you’ll realize for the first time that you have many burns.” - Claudia Hodgins “Do I have any right after I killed so many people as a weapon? I must have prevented them from keeping promises of their own! Promises they made to loved ones of their own! Everything I’ve done so far has sparked a flame that is now burning me up.” - Violet Evergarden
"I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil." This was a moving arrangement, I can tell you put your emotions, thoughts, your hope into it. I'm a beginner pianist but even I know what it feels like to put all your heart into playing a song, and feel tired afterwards. After arranging a masterpiece like this and playing it, even a professional pianist would be exhausted. I can't stop listening to this. I'm spellbound. The revival at 6:15 invokes feelings of courage, tenacity, and hope - leaving the listener breathless. The final goodbye is heartbreaking.
As an anime fan, we all share the same sadness on that day and are probably still feeling the same even after all the tragic moments in 2020. I myself could not arrange a piece to carry my condolences and appreciation to Kyoani, thus thank you very much Animenz, for bringing to us this arrangement. I have been waiting for your version of Sincerely, and I am really surprised I can have this piece on the very same day after 1 year. Anime can heal, and so is music.
reading the story of arranging this song in the description while listening to it really transferred Animenz's feelings to me. I'll never forget how badly i cried that day
I cried so much by just watching Violet Evergarden and I think it’s one of the best anime cartoon I’ve watched before and I just love it soooooooo much I bet I cried a whole bucket of tears .Even my piano teacher was shocked when she was teaching my big brother this piece.I love you Violet!So much that I wish you were real!😢😢
This is a masterpiece. His arrangements always inspires me a lot, but this time I cannot find a word to express how I feel now. Even the word amazing cannot make it.
So beautiful. I remember sitting at my desk at work when I saw what was happening online. I almost burst into tears and immediately donated money to help the survivors and the affected families. What a lovely description for this piece, Animenz.
This left me speechless. I don’t think there is a word in the English language that can describe how beautiful this is. You’ve truly touched my heart, Animenz. #PrayForKyoani
2020 and im still here imagining myself playing this masterpiece infront of my classmates makin them impressed. Quarantine got my imagination gone wild. But hey, would be wonderful if it was true
This is definitely one of the best covers you've done so far! It's so clean and full of emotions. I really liked the improvisation you did in the end, it feels like there's still hope in these dark times. I can't wait for the movie!
This piece is beautiful, as was the anime. This anime never failed ti make me cry every episode…. Violet Evergarden was such a tortured, yet beauty soul. Despite horrific things she went through, she managed to pick herself up and move forward with grace and beauty.
Thank you so much for playing this song, Animenz. Violet Evergarden has been my favorite anime lately and every episode that I've watched, I didn't skip every intro and outro song. It has been my lullaby song too as I have insomnia. Listening to it until I fell asleep. Well, this is will be on my playlist 💞
I have been listening to this song almost on a daily basis since it came out, and am still amazed by the masterwork that it is. I still cry almost every time I listen to this song, and I truly love it. I have never been more moved by a piece of music than I have by this one. This arrangement has changed how I see music, and has inspired me to make try and make music as powerful as this. Thank you so much Animenz. #PrayForKyoAni

100% agree, I play mostly by ear, but I tend to get into a rut where I feel like I don't know how to improve or I'm just stuck and bored, but listening to this channel inspires me to try things I never have and absolutely sparks my passion for piano again! 🎹🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🎹
"Watashi nande naiterun darou?"
I'm not usually one to outright tear up when listening to music, but there's something about this particular performance that brought tears to my eyes. The soft entrance brought me chills, and then the moment the scale run cut in at 1:45, it brought over an entire wave of emotions that would not subside, the same way that the right hand unleashed a continuous stream of poignant notes at that point. I expected a normal chorus entrance, but instead I got an instant feels trip entrance ticket instead. It also brought back the same exact pattern as the pre-chorus section in the second OP portion of your Nagi no Asukara medley, one of my favorite arrangements by you, which further contributed to the wave of emotions
Just like how several patterns and sections from your arrangements have stuck with me, 5:11 is one of those moments that will stick with me for a long time. The tremolo creates an atmosphere of tension that grows and grows until it releases and boils over as the chorus melody comes back in.
I'm also working on a special Violet Evergarden medley at the moment, and have been struggling for a while with how I want the Sincerely Chorus to come out. Listening to this gave me a bit of clarity on the emotions I want to invoke and the musical picture I want to paint with that section. Thank you for continuously giving me inspirational moments like these to push me through my writing blocks. Indeed, your musical voice has reached and touched me and several others, and that means the world to me as well.
See you next time!

I was unconsciously smiling almost through out the song.
I could literally count on one hand how many times this has happened to me.
He kinda (way) outdid himself with this one (And I suspect the original is nothing to scoff at too).
Honestly, I have no clue what the anime is about, but after hearing the music (Michishirube too), I have to look it up.
Dude that segment gave me such a passionate , motivated feeling.. It reminded me of Violet striving to better herself and let go of her past self.
"See you next time!"...
No one knows u man
@@gtsiam Yes. I watched it also because of the music. Exactly that part.
今日、あの事件を思い出し、素敵なアニメを作り続けてくれた方々の中にもういなくなってしまった方々がいるんだと涙が出てきました。
でもこの曲は、ヴァイオレットエヴァーガーデンは、そういう気持ちじゃなくて、心に何か温かいものを与えてくれて、その熱さでジワジワ涙が溢れてくるような作品だった、と思える演奏でした。
I was gonna like this but i saw the like number so i left it be
I thought this piece would be a thousand times better than anything I could ever play, a thousand times better than any tribute I could've given, a thousand times higher quality than I could ever play.
Looking at this masterpiece, I should've guessed a much higher number.
Don't beat yourself up! This kind of skill is gained by practice; not talent. I can only refer to Twoset violin for this... good luck!
@@fennoqueven I’m a pianist but unfortunately some things are out of our reach metaphorically and physically. I’ve got pretty small hands (max stretch from like c to d#) and large arpeggio chords like in Chopin’s Nocturne op 48 no 1 or even the start of Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz are difficult to play at the right tempo…
@Luke Su You have a good point, though what I'm really trying to get across is the emotional concept of still trying and not seeing things as just 'beyond me'. Physical constraints are a pain, as we both have found (I too have only a ninth maximum reach), but not all virtuosic pieces and arrangements include tenths or uncomfortable arpeggios such as the works of Liszt.
@@fennoqueven yeah I know I love playing but no matter how hard I try sometimes I can never play something just because I’m physically restrained :(
Sorry to hear that man. Good luck with your playing (and stay safe)
"Sincerely" is one of those anime songs that makes me cry everytime I listen to it.
6:54 Never fails to give me chills... The good kind. The nostalgia, feelings of hope.
I've been waiting for this ever since he covered Michishirube. I'm genuinely so hyped for this. Can't believe it's been a year since that horrifying attack. Thank you KyoAni and thank you Animenz for helping us smile in these dark times. #Pray4KyoAni

To the 36 people that passed away, and to KyoAni themselves... Thank you for creating the animes you have made.
and to Animenz... thank you for making this tribute, I'm proud to admit that I cried to listening to this... it was a great arrangement.
Maybe 2020 wasn't that bad after all, I was having a rough week and seeing this made me feel good again ( ;
Damn,My Heart Is Feel Lighten Than Before When I Hear This Song,
Note :
Keep Updating More Songs Again Animenzzz😁😁😁
Now i am facing some troubles, but this definitely cures my sadness :")

Stay strong, brother.
Just finished my ielts exam today and i felt so tired driving home. But after watching this video, the whole burden was lifted and its amazing how music does its magic. Have a good day everyone!

“I want to know what “I love you” means…” - Violet Evergarden
Such a simple sentence can mean a lot
@@hummatvshka770 true, I can’t agree with you more
Violeto, jiyuu nanasai.
Kokoro ga....................................... aishiteru.
Yes. I loved Violet Evergarden. When I first saw the description, I thought it was a mecha. I just didn't understand and put it off. My oh my, was I ever in the wrong. Hopefully it does in fact get a second season.
Remembering the horrible tragedy that happened around 10:30am, this time last year makes my heart hurt. Kyoto Animation was a gift to the world. Praying for all those who had lost a loved one in Japan. Thank you for this reminder.
I can't wait for this cover, although I can't see myself watching and listening without crying.
3:04 That insane melody swap to left hand while your right hand is set free. Animenz's signature move right there, I love it.
I am speechless, it is unbelievable how much he expresses with his emotions while playing this piece. I could cry again every time I see something like that, how much love and effort has gone into this masterpiece.
This piano arrangement is the most beautiful I have heard. On this day, exactly 1 year ago when I watched it streamed live, it captured me in its 5 bar cage and I knew I had to learn it for myself, nevermind that I was more or less a complete beginner. I could play simple songs but I wasn’t “good” in any means. That didn’t matter. I printed out a transcription and started.
It took me many many months and so many hours of practice, sitting at that piano, but I am almost finished learning it. It’s the most difficult but flowing and wonderful interpretation of Violet Evergarden’s opening- the anime that started it all. I hope to no end that I can perform this in a way that does the notes on those pages the justice they deserve. It has taken me from a novice to a well seasoned pianist, and I have nobody to thank but you.
From me and everyone else here,
Thank you so much.
post it
You have motivated me so much right now.. because am a beginner too and i don’t think i could ever play a hard song like this. But seeing your story makes me think otherwise :D thanks
@@Sequilz as cliche as it sounds yeah, anyone can.. it’s taken me a long long time but I’ve almost made it, and I’m sure you can too
post it
Hi, I just wanted to say, you can do it!
I'm in a similar situation! I wouldn't consider myself a complete beginner, this piece is arguably the most difficult by far.
Have been learning for around 3 weeks and have gotten 2 passages from the 2nd and 3rd pages.
It's soooo hard!! but I picked it up for the same reason as you, the anime and the arrangement is just so impactful and I love it so much
I'd love to see you finish it!
can we all take time to appreciate how he adds such a detailed analysis of his playing in the description? it helps deepen my understanding of not only the theory behind such beautiful music but also the emotion that went into it.
感動しました。
京アニ作品のように美麗かつ緻密な魂のこもった素晴らしい演奏です。
心にぽっかりと空いてしまった穴に光が差し込んでくるような、悲しいながらもあたたかい音でした。
animenzさん、ありがとうございます。
改めて故人のご冥福をお祈りいたします。
これからもずっと京アニを応援し続けます。
That anime is such a masterpiece, it made me cry so many times.
#PrayforKyoAni
5:10 just blew me away, the whole piano piece is beautifully composed and executed. Its the best out there
このアレンジは彼の概要欄の説明を見て聞くことで感動を最大限に感じることが出来ます。音を感じるだけでももちろん感動できるが、知識を使って彼の音使いとそこにかける思いを考えると全てが合致していて涙が止まりませんでした。今までにない最高の感動をありがとう
This arrangement can be maximally moved by seeing and listening to the description in his overview section. Of course, I could be moved just by feeling the sound, but when I used his knowledge to think about his sound usage and his thoughts, everything matched and I couldn't stop crying. Thank you for the best impression ever.
I'm sorry for using translation.
アニメンズさんの想いが伝わってくる、美しいアレンジ、演奏でした。
投稿ありがとうございました。
Animenz gave this arrangement his all and it shows. I can't stop crying.
There are times when I'll go long periods of time without listening to your arrangements simply because I get caught up in life. But it's always nice to come back and hear these amazing arrangements. This channel and this music has been a huge inspiration for me ever since I discovered it as a teenager and continues to be an inspiration now that I've become an adult. Your arrangements are one of the main reasons I learned how to play piano and I will always be thankful for it. Thank you for all the amazing arrangements throughout the years and I hope you continue to enjoy what you do.
views shouldn't matter, but man this arrangement deserves so much more recognition. You made it masterfully Animenz! I have been playing it over and over again since its release
I love the story of the pianist, which is in the description, he showed his emotions and feelings for his love for anime and for Kyoani and it's almost 2 years since incident and I hope they can create a new masterpiece which gives the viewers new way of seeing life in terms of watching anime. I believe their ambition creating of slice of life genre of anime are their messages to us anime lovers that to live is to fight and survive. Thank you sir for for this touching piece I hope you could add more soon.🎶💕🎶
This is one of your most beautiful arrangements in my opinion, up there with My Dearest and My Soul, Your Beats!. Every one of your arrangements have been a blessing for me, and a reason to get through the week. I can feel how much you put into this arrangement, in particular. I truly hope the staff at KyoAni will be able to recover, along with their loved ones.
Thank you, Animenz.
I really don't know how to express how much I love this arrangement. Every time I hear it it gives me the urge to run to my piano and start practising, despite knowing how far out of my reach it is in technical ability. I just wanted to say that you have created a masterpiece, and that I am extremely grateful for what you've contributed to this community. Thank you so much.
あれからもう1年経つんですね。。
心の真に迫る音の渦に涙が出ました。。。想いの強さをメロディにのせ、聴き手に感動を与えるあなたの演奏が本当に好きです。
京アニの関係者の方々にも、どうか、皆さんのこの想いが届きますように。とっても素敵なアレンジでした😌
どうしてピアノを聞いてて涙が出てくるのだろう。愛で顔がくしゃくしゃです。素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。
A mini dose of good will. Wish you health and keep producing great sheets / videos
Animenz has this kind of unique sound of playing, I mean he has that colorful aura when he plays and the emotions he gives, he's one of the best pianist out there.
The emotion this piece brings. I cant count how many times I've been listening to this since this was released
You don't know how much I appreciate this cover. I literally cried when you play this in your way. Thank you
I`m so glad I started reading description during listening to this piece. I started following it before the most emotional part. Listening to your tribute knowing exactly what you meant to do, was something amazing. Tears just appeared naturally, when I was listening to the loudest part. For the first time in my life, I cried because something was just that beautiful. I can`t believe how deep and strong emotions were flowing from your piano. I`m very thankful for this experience. Wonderful arrangement, played beautifly. Thank you
映画見たあとのこれは・・・
身近な人に愛してるって言いたくなる。ちゃんと伝えないとね。。。
気持ちは伝えないと伝わらない
That fast scale run at the start was incredible. The dual voicing was incredible! And I really liked that part at 4:20. Oh, and those extended sections were very creative. Overall, 11/10, great arrangement!
Jebaited.
How did you see the vid before it premie-
Oh
Imagine if ur correct lmao
And damn, listen to those fast right hand scale runs in the second verse! That left hand melody sounds amazing!!!
_-little do they know I'm actually not joking-_
We're all from the future :0
"Sincerely"
I can feel every notes burst out with his tears
I feel a warm sensation in my heart hearing this song again after finishing the show. Its one of the very few songs that managed to touch my heart in a bittersweet way. Thank you Animenz for this wonderful arrangement, and also KyoAni for making such a memorable and touching anime.
What an incredible ode to the greatest piece of fiction ever made.
この作品を作り上げてくださった”すべて”の皆様へ
”愛してる”を。
Absolutely astonishing. Your rendition had me in tears! I had been wondering all these years if you'd create a Sincerely piano composition, and what you've given us is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you Animenz, and thank you Kyoani for all the wonderful anime you've given us over the years.
I was already kind of hyped from the beginning, then he pulls out the 30-second notes i believe and then i fall off my chair. mad respect Animenz, my fingers hurt from watching.
Just like a letter sailing in the wind, the notes of this arrangement have touched thousands. Thank you Animez, and thank you KyoAni. Glad to see after a year, you're both going strong
This arrangement hits different... I cant describe what im feeling now but its most probably a fact that im addicted to this
As someone who is emotionally inert to a point it's hard to feel like I belong around people this song makes me cry. The whole series made me cry when I watched it with a certain someone. Especially when it hit me why I liked it so much.
In particular from the line "why am I crying" in the English version of this song.
man, you're luckier. I'm glad for you, and I sincerely wish to experience the same one day, since all I can resonate with is the first half of your comment.
初めてこの方の演奏を聞いた時は、ただただヴァイオレットエヴァーガーデンとその曲が好きで毎日聞きに来ていたのですが、今日初めて概要欄を読んでこの曲を聴いたら全く別の曲のように感じました。
まだ読んでない方は1度概要欄をご覧になってみてください。
この8:38にこんなにもの沢山の思いが込められてるのだとわかった時、音楽にはこんなにも人の感情を動かすことが出来て思いを伝えることが出来るのだと感じました。
語彙力なくてごめんなさい🙏
これからもこの曲を聞きに来ようと思います。素敵な演奏ありがとうございます。
It was sincerely (pun not intended) one of the best arrangement you came up with imo. The detailed description helped me to understand a bit more clearly everything that was happening, and especially that incorporation of Violet's main theme as an additional melody: this is briliant. I am generally a huge fan of leitmotivs in music so this kind of attention is very interesting.
The polyphony is very predominant and the RH seems to be perpetually flourishing with all these embelishments, runs and arpeggios. I still can't believe it's been a year since KyoAni tragedy happened, and I still don't realize it totally, but I think it is the best tribute someone could hope for. Bravo for this amazing arrangement. I really like this "non-conventional" and free direction you're taking, it makes your work more unpredictable, and it surprises everytime, even when knowing the original song.
I agree, this new open path is really inspiring, and this song ... I have no .. words to describe it. Similar to Mahoutsekai new change, or my dearest piece 10 years ago.
I've watched this so many times since he's released it. The sheer amount of emotion he puts into playing this piece makes me tear up a bit every time.
So around 6:42 is where you got me to shed some silent tears. I’ll admit that. I also started nodding in agreement while said tears were coming out, because I understood you at that point. I understood the emotion you felt towards this piece and everything that went to making it a beautiful melody. The passion is insane, and your love for these people are immense to no compare. This was by far the greatest way to thank Kyoto Animation for all their hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. They’ve given us so much, and you’ve used your voice through YOUR notes... to give them the greatest piece of all. Thank you for making this. Thank you for being you, and thank you for pushing your hardest. #PrayForKyoAni
This was beautiful. The families of the deceased would be so proud to know how many people's hearts they'd all touched. ❥ どうもありがとうございました

"I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil."
This was a moving arrangement, I can tell you put your emotions, thoughts, your hope into it.
I'm a beginner pianist but even I know what it feels like to put all your heart into playing a song, and feel tired afterwards. After arranging a masterpiece like this and playing it, even a professional pianist would be exhausted.
I can't stop listening to this. I'm spellbound.
The revival at 6:15 invokes feelings of courage, tenacity, and hope - leaving the listener breathless. The final goodbye is heartbreaking.
Finally!!! Have been waiting for Animenz' arrangement of this masterpiece T_T Thank you
Your arrangement of this and how you walked us through in the music + the description box brought me to tears. Thank you for this
本当に日本のアニメと、その作品に携わる人々を愛してくださっているんだなと思いました。素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。この演奏に込められた思いはきっと届くはずです。
As an anime fan, we all share the same sadness on that day and are probably still feeling the same even after all the tragic moments in 2020.
I myself could not arrange a piece to carry my condolences and appreciation to Kyoani, thus thank you very much Animenz, for bringing to us this arrangement. I have been waiting for your version of Sincerely, and I am really surprised I can have this piece on the very same day after 1 year.
Anime can heal, and so is music.
You don’t need a singer when the piano already sings like this
I'm still left speechless by this arrangement to this day.
reading the story of arranging this song in the description while listening to it really transferred Animenz's feelings to me. I'll never forget how badly i cried that day
I cried so much by just watching Violet Evergarden and I think it’s one of the best anime cartoon I’ve watched before and I just love it soooooooo much I bet I cried a whole bucket of tears .Even my piano teacher was shocked when she was teaching my big brother this piece.I love you Violet!So much that I wish you were real!😢😢
Finally!!! This is one of my favourite openings! It is so beautiful that I could just cry 😭😭😭 thank you animez!!!!
This is a masterpiece. His arrangements always inspires me a lot, but this time I cannot find a word to express how I feel now. Even the word amazing cannot make it.
素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。
ピアノの音が泣いているような、叫んでいるような気がして涙が止まりませんでした。

So beautiful. I remember sitting at my desk at work when I saw what was happening online. I almost burst into tears and immediately donated money to help the survivors and the affected families. What a lovely description for this piece, Animenz.
This left me speechless. I don’t think there is a word in the English language that can describe how beautiful this is. You’ve truly touched my heart, Animenz. #PrayForKyoani

This piece is beautiful, as was the anime. This anime never failed ti make me cry every episode…. Violet Evergarden was such a tortured, yet beauty soul. Despite horrific things she went through, she managed to pick herself up and move forward with grace and beauty.
Such a beautiful anime with one of the best soundtracks an anime could have. There are so many good pieces, would love to see you cover them all.
This is definitely my favorite song I’ve heard of yours! I really appreciate the time and emotion you put into all of your songs!
This is still one of the best animenz pieces of all time
Thank you so much for playing this song, Animenz. Violet Evergarden has been my favorite anime lately and every episode that I've watched, I didn't skip every intro and outro song. It has been my lullaby song too as I have insomnia. Listening to it until I fell asleep. Well, this is will be on my playlist 💞
初めてピアノを聴いて号泣してしまいました。素敵な演奏ありがとうございます。
I have been listening to this song almost on a daily basis since it came out, and am still amazed by the masterwork that it is. I still cry almost every time I listen to this song, and I truly love it. I have never been more moved by a piece of music than I have by this one. This arrangement has changed how I see music, and has inspired me to make try and make music as powerful as this. Thank you so much Animenz. #PrayForKyoAni
