JaHEEEEEZEE Boy... That's some real fine piano playing there... I'm just about to start my venture on this thinking "Oh shit why aren't there any videos of other people playing this?" Then you come along and make me feel much better about it! Cheers matey, keep at it, you clearly got something special. Matti
You are so fantastic. Your playing seems effortless. Like your so awesome that all you have to do it wiggle your hand back and forth and you hit the right notes. Lol. I love it!
i know people say stuff like this a lot but who hit the dislike button? their mouse must have legit slipped because whether or not use even played the game, this is absolutely amazing
I'm having a lot of fun learning this piece. The crazy left hand along with the epic melody in the right reminds me of Chopin's Revolutionary Etude. Well done dude.
Fantastic. After seeing it done in simulation I felt it looked neigh impossible, yet you made it look effortless. I wish you the best of luck in the times to come
That was amazing! I couldn't find any mistakes, but it might be because I haven't heard this piece before. But I really enjoyed it. I give a thumbs-up! And by the way, I do have confidence in my left hand. ^.^
Very good job. Ur cover on riku's movement is probably one of the best ones i've seen on here. U can tell where there are mistakes but its ok coz this is obviously a very challenging piece. Keep at it to perfection! :) Btw dig the checkered pants too haha
D: Oh man this song is so difficult to play.. Practice practice practice.. You still did great :D this is one of my most favourite songs in the collections~
wow!!! really really impressive stuff! i've just wacthed through all your vids now - thank you very much for the wonderful performances and def keep it up! instant subscribe and i look forward to future vids ^___^
wow - really impressive work man! i've just watched through all your vids now - thank you very much for the awesome performances! keep it up and i look forward to more - haha ^___^
I can play Roxas, Kairi and The other promise (with many many mistakes xD), but this (Riku) is just way to hard. Your playing is just amazing. I love your videos.
@TeamPhin The sheet music is obtainable at Squaresound(dot)com Look under sheet music books. I think it and Field and Battle are also available at Otaku, but berfore you but from Otaku's website, check their ebay listings, there sometimes cheaper there.
You are really amazing. The left hand in this piece is so difficult! I'd love to learn this soon but I don't know if I could get it down as well as you have here, hahaha. Subscribed, favorited, and I'm checking out the rest of your channel. I'd love to see more!
I've been practising up to the fourth page of this piece, and the left hand is really coming on now, itdoes get easier the more you practise it! I'm so happy :) (not quite as good as you yet though)
O.O'' WHOOAAAA! That was amazing XD I'm learning it myself, it is so much. I'm just getting the part from 1:20 to 2:10 up to speed. You play it amazingly XD I had that strength problem at 0:20 to 0:35 as well but I just used my 4th and 3rd finger I'm still strentghining up that 5th. But whoooaaaa O.O'' amazing playing seriously.
@dreadjoker10 i was using those fingers and thought that there was a better method. I just need to exercise more control on my 3rd finger. Thanks for letting me know :D
@dreadjoker10 Sorry i didnt explain clearly. The left hand part where you press F and A flat, F and B flat, F and G in rapid succession. Its just before the octaves part.
@dreadjoker10 I use my 3rd and 2nd finger. Didn't have the strength with the other fingers. It's easy if you have a big hand, or long fingers. But I recommend to trill the 3rd and 4th like dreadjoker10 said.
@lysol5860 I know you're asking dreadjoker this, but I've learned The Other Promise (OP) and in the process of cleaning up this song, so thought I could give you an answer. OP is much easier, since a lot of the left hand is arpeggio-based and fairly static in terms of how your hand can cover the keys. Riku's Theme is not only faster, but is much less static and requires a lot of control for parts with harmonic embellishments (beginning - 0:35, etc). OP is slightly less predictable, however.
@dreadjoker10 Thanks a lot for the reply. The thing with popular youtube pianists is that they rarely share their tips, but you're great =D See how your fingering starts with 532135 right? Do you jump from 3 to 5? Or is there another way to do it?
@dreadjoker10 Umm. The part at 4:31 to 4:38 i find it difficult with the fingering there. ive been using 521323214321 where 5 is pinky and 1 is thumb on the left hand. Ive almost finished the piece =D just struggling with the left hand onwards from 4:31. Fantastic performance.
I gave up hope a long time ago in believing this could ever be played solo..I thought it was a duet!! Thank you so much for this upload!!! I don't suppose you have sheet music for it? I seriously want to play it, even if it means risking all the muscles in my left hand while I'm at it!
i wanna play this fu***n awesome, gorgeous, beautiful piece the same way as u do *___* i like this version even more than the original!!!its soooooo good :D but how do u do that with the left hand at 0:20 4 and 5 are to slow on my hand and im freaking out every time i try it -.-
Mind giving me the fingering on the left hand when you play the black notes before you reach the main melody with the left hand playing chords? A bit confusing sorry =(
@dreadjoker10 Sorry to bother you again but whats the fingering on 1:27 for the left hand? The part where you play lowerF C F Aflat Dflat Aflat F lowerC. Many thanks, im trying to perfect the song for my upcoming recital haha.
Omg, how do you do that crazy, right hand, super fast two lower notes between the main meoldious notes? (sorry if that didn't makes sense XD) I just cant manage it! And my piano teacher used to tell me off for playing too fast :P Now i cant get to that speed
I wanted to play this one, but my left hand is a bit weak. How should I train my left hand to make it faster? Play practice pieces, or play it till I get it?
Hey, I'm just learning piano and I wanted to know how long you've been playing exactly? I'm 16 and to learn this song is my goal. Thanks, this is the best video of this song being played I've heard!! Keep it up!
Sorry about this but can you help me with the fingering at 4:59? I dont know what fingers to use for my right hand =( Took me a good 3 months to learn this piece :D Though i cant play it as fluently as you yet ;P
O.O I heard this song was like, impossible to play. And I just realized that if the Piano Collections weren't KH-related, and were just some classical pieces of some sort, I wouldn't listen to them. Strange realization. ??Your arm doesn't look twisted.
I am DETERMINED to at least TRY to learn this within a reasonable amount of time. I'm not very confident in my left hand, but it's worth a shot, right? *Wish me luck*
@lysol5860 No problem. It sounds and looks tough, but really isn't that bad. The song goes through 3 different keys, but the notes in each key are essentially the same; learn one key and the other keys shouldn't be that hard to pick up.
He is probably talking about the kingdom hearts piano collection!:) there are 2 books. One of them contains a piano sonata on the kingdom hearts themes. This piece is the 3rd movement of it.
Man, are you still there? Can't believe these videos got so old, were my inspiration back in the day
Wow. Good job on a hard piece. I'm thinking of doing this one soon.
hey lara! ever get around to this ? :)
This is ridiculously impressive. I love this song, and you certainly did it justice. Amazing job. You just earned yourself a subscriber. ;)

Oh damn you're right this is totally the etude. I love yoko shimomura drawing from so many awesome aspects of classical.
Fantastic. After seeing it done in simulation I felt it looked neigh impossible, yet you made it look effortless. I wish you the best of luck in the times to come
That was amazing! I couldn't find any mistakes, but it might be because I haven't heard this piece before. But I really enjoyed it. I give a thumbs-up!

goodness, thought this was a piano duet when i originally heard it. well done!
youre playing is so awesome. love this cover :o it's my favorite on youtube. thanks for that
D: Oh man this song is so difficult to play.. Practice practice practice.. You still did great :D this is one of my most favourite songs in the collections~
Fabulous job!!!

I can play Roxas, Kairi and The other promise (with many many mistakes xD), but this (Riku) is just way to hard. Your playing is just amazing. I love your videos.

you are an amazing piano player, i wish you luck in the future
Superb
You are really amazing. The left hand in this piece is so difficult! I'd love to learn this soon but I don't know if I could get it down as well as you have here, hahaha. Subscribed, favorited, and I'm checking out the rest of your channel. I'd love to see more!
The myth, the legend himself
awesome
I've been practising up to the fourth page of this piece, and the left hand is really coming on now, itdoes get easier the more you practise it! I'm so happy :) (not quite as good as you yet though)
OMG You are so damn good!! I wish I played the piano as great as you do... AWESOME!!!
O.O'' WHOOAAAA!
That was amazing XD I'm learning it myself, it is so much. I'm just getting the part from 1:20 to 2:10 up to speed. You play it amazingly XD
I had that strength problem at 0:20 to 0:35 as well but I just used my 4th and 3rd finger I'm still strentghining up that 5th. But whoooaaaa O.O'' amazing playing seriously.
@dreadjoker10 i was using those fingers and thought that there was a better method. I just need to exercise more control on my 3rd finger. Thanks for letting me know :D
You inspired me to learn this song! My favorite part is 4:20 - 4:55. The chords in the bass toward the end are really good.
OMG wow your left hand really does go crazy!
500th like! Hope this get more attention!
@dreadjoker10 Sorry i didnt explain clearly. The left hand part where you press F and A flat, F and B flat, F and G in rapid succession. Its just before the octaves part.
The fact that the tempo is slower makes it even more drammatic. My heart hurts.
Omg you are my Idol...
@dreadjoker10 I use my 3rd and 2nd finger. Didn't have the strength with the other fingers. It's easy if you have a big hand, or long fingers. But I recommend to trill the 3rd and 4th like dreadjoker10 said.
Holy crap, I knew this song was hard to play, but I never realized how hard until I watched this. 0_0
this piece is so beautiful. It must be quiet a workout though.
That left hand cannot be human
:O ... really .... awesome
BRAVOOO!!!!!!! Simply AWESOME!!! You, my friend, have won a new subscription *subscribes* =DDD!!
I NEED HELP ON THIS FREAKING SONG THIS IS HARRRDDDDD
@lysol5860 I know you're asking dreadjoker this, but I've learned The Other Promise (OP) and in the process of cleaning up this song, so thought I could give you an answer.

wow, I could die peacefully if I could play this song as well as you... I´m just an amateur but I´m trying pretty hard to learn this :D
@Futarimataaerunara Start by playing from the end of the piece. Work your way to the beginning. I hope this isn't too late.
Sorry i didnt explain myself clearly. The left hand part where you press F and A flat, F and B flat, F and G before reaching the octave part
tocas muy padre
i just got finished learning The Other Promise from this same collection
how much harder would you say this piece is?
excellent job btw
@dreadjoker10 Thanks a lot for the reply. The thing with popular youtube pianists is that they rarely share their tips, but you're great =D See how your fingering starts with 532135 right? Do you jump from 3 to 5? Or is there another way to do it?
theres a songbook..may you please be so kind as to tell me how u cam across one with kingdom hearts songs on them?
saiyasho16 theres a book called kingdom hearts piano collection, with 12 beautiful songs, if you’re still wondering years after ;)
@dreadjoker10 Umm. The part at 4:31 to 4:38 i find it difficult with the fingering there. ive been using 521323214321 where 5 is pinky and 1 is thumb on the left hand. Ive almost finished the piece =D just struggling with the left hand onwards from 4:31. Fantastic performance.

@dreadjoker10 what about concert paraphrase on dearly beloved? I think its the hardest piece in the book.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!! the next beethoven
probably the hardest piece from the collections, isnt it?
epic.
yay its james :D its jacques btw XD
i wanna play this fu***n awesome, gorgeous, beautiful piece the same way as u do *___* i like this version even more than the original!!!its soooooo good :D but how do u do that with the left hand at 0:20 4 and 5 are to slow on my hand and im freaking out every time i try it -.-

And my piano teacher used to tell me off for playing too fast :P Now i cant get to that speed
I thank your mom for bringing you into this world. She deserves a statue. :D
@MizoraTasocai If his mom deserves a statue, I wonder what our pianist will deserve D
I wanted to play this one, but my left hand is a bit weak. How should I train my left hand to make it faster? Play practice pieces, or play it till I get it?
Hey, I'm just learning piano and I wanted to know how long you've been playing exactly? I'm 16 and to learn this song is my goal. Thanks, this is the best video of this song being played I've heard!! Keep it up!
@metroid1117
hmm...sounds tough... I might still try though.
thanks for the response
starting on the second page, which fingers do you use for the left hand? i'm finding it really hard to learn :(
IMPOSSIBRUUUU!!!!
Mistakes or no mistakes, this is still amazing! How long did it take you to learn this?
Sorry about this but can you help me with the fingering at 4:59? I dont know what fingers to use for my right hand =( Took me a good 3 months to learn this piece :D Though i cant play it as fluently as you yet ;P
I'm learn this song right now lol
where did you get the score? you seem to have a piano collection book.
O.O
I heard this song was like, impossible to play.
And I just realized that if the Piano Collections weren't KH-related, and were just some classical pieces of some sort, I wouldn't listen to them.
Strange realization. ??Your arm doesn't look twisted.
You...are....god....
I am DETERMINED to at least TRY to learn this within a reasonable amount of time. I'm not very confident in my left hand, but it's worth a shot, right? *Wish me luck*
near the end, it looks like you moved you're hands around and fast forwarded the vid.
My eye bleeds when I try to play this one...
1:55, your piano jumps lol, how long did it take to learn this piece?
Bravo :)
How you get that agility on the left hand?
can you sight read perfectly on the spot? everyone seems to be able to T-T
This would be somesthing for ***** :D well he could even do some extended variations if he wanted to.
Ok,I must've seen it a hundred times but WHAT IS THE FINGERING FOR 0:34-0:36?!
can u still use that hand?
@lysol5860 No problem. It sounds and looks tough, but really isn't that bad. The song goes through 3 different keys, but the notes in each key are essentially the same; learn one key and the other keys shouldn't be that hard to pick up.
I can only get from beginning to 0:35 with both hands and not even at full speed.
I've delayed, but I finally got the book!!
Book? What book?
He is probably talking about the kingdom hearts piano collection!:) there are 2 books. One of them contains a piano sonata on the kingdom hearts themes. This piece is the 3rd movement of it.
Have you learned the song?
1 person is a heartless!
My bad, i need help with the left hand :D
I want your hands cuz I wanna play this song so bad
omg..
You have nice pants:P
damn ambidextrix kid
@dreadjoker10 that suprises me^^
