+Hereson Animenz practiced very aggressively focusing on his own ambitions regardless of what others thought and has had 16+ years of top of the class classical training. Its no wonder he is so talented. He put so much effort into what he does despite already essentially being a prodigy+having perfect pitch at a young age. He didn't just take his talent for granted like many people do. Like you know, showing it off and not making any advancements.
You mean apart from the almost perfect singing from Mizuki^^ But overall you are totally right. You coudnt do that with a guitar or some other instruments. I often call the Piano (and similar Intruments like organ) King of Instruments for some reason, they are so versatile.
This dude is just legend himself...I studied piano for 12 years (I'm 16) and I tried to play this song and it was very tiring and this whole piece just requires SO MUCH practice. This guy is a legend omg. (PS the left hand looks like a spider XD)
I love the paragraph where you say "Similar to my previous piano arrangements of Hiroyuki Sawanos compositions ..., you can go ALL out with the volume this time. Especially the section starting at 2:53 should be played in the most convincing forte fortissimo ever, the whole piano should be shaking at this point, and every listener should trembling with awe."
1 year ago I watched one of your videos which was (This Game). It inspired me to learn the piano. Everytime I lose interest in piano I would just watch your videos and imagine that I could play like you some day. And now, I got to grade 5 in about a year and I don't think I could make it this far without you. I'd like to thank you for making such amazing videos.
I started to learn this piece about 1.5 years ago and after 1 month of on and off practice I managed to play this piece ok-ish on 70% speed... and somehow no matter how hard I tried it always sounded messy. I realized that my skill was not high enough for this piece... a year later I came back to this piece and there was still no real progress... Only after I learned it by heart and many hours more I can now play it almost perfectly. What I learned from this piece is invaluable for my piano playing... After finishing this piece my skill made a huge jump up... Other "difficult" pieces suddenly became easy to play. This piece is currently my favourite piece of all time and the feeling you get when you play this with your balcony open is uncomparable. I wonder if my neighbours actually like this piece, since I already played it for almost 2 years^^
There are so many reasons for us to come back to this video. I'd probably come here for 0:00 - 4:51. To think back this is the second song I chose to play at my school's stage. It was wonderful and the performance went really well. Thank you Animenz for arranging this song.
Not only Animenz plays out loved anime soundtracks like an angel but he also gives free sheet music for us ^.^ You are the real MVP. Keep doing your awesome job. Nowadays when good music and art is underrated, youtube helps creative and talented guys like you shine :)
I'm always patiently waiting for your new arrangements, AND I LITERALLY LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. You just never disappoints me and are my true inspiration. Moreover thank you for this magnificent cover. I'm with you since the very beggining and I'm willing to stick here to the bitter end.
YOU ARE AMAZING! I played piano 5 years and then i stopped and i get addicted to video games, but after watch all your videos I start playing piano again! You actually help me alot! You deserve a wondefull future Animenz Piano Sheets!!!!
This is absolutely godly. No piano cover except this one comes so close to the actual song. The off beat bass creates the drums that essentially powers the entire piece. And the slamming of the harmony in the right hand starting from 2:36 must be absolutely painful oh man. I know there’s skill in that to make it hurt less but Jesus that’s amazing. It’s hard to really get the full complexity of his pieces until u Iook at a synthesia and other attempts at his version, but once you see those... his hands are not from this world. This is simply a perfect transcription.
The first time I watched this video I didn't watch the anime yet but I remember playing this cover over again because I loved it so much. Well I just finished the anime and now I'm back and I'm still loving this cover.
I’m going to learn this song. 100%. I am going to sit down at the piano during spring break and learn this song. Even if it’s just the first notes, I am going to learn this song. If I don’t learn it during spring break, I am going to sit down after spring break and dedicate my free time to learning this. Because this is one fine ass song and I need to have at least one epic song to say that I know on the piano.
I'm learning it at the moment, I don't have a problem with the notes themselve rather with the rhythm so it's a nice gesture from him to give some advice.
+PaintAMelody I used a similar microphone setup as the video for my miiro - Kancolle OP cover, the microphones are moved much closer to the bass strings of the steinway grand piano than usual. Plus, I am using bit more force than usual to play forte (because it's hiroyuki sawano, lol), maybe that's why it sounds so crisp
Damn, goosebumps appearing everywhere.. I freaking love this arrangement, especially the left hand. Looked like a super fast spider rushing on the keys :D
Normally you should have a good idea of what type of difficulty you would have learning any piece. If this is one of your first "difficult" pieces (difficult is a very relative term), then it will most certainly be difficult. Now as for "how" difficult, that depends on your approach and how much your practice. I think it will take roughly 60 to 70 hours of solid practice and memorization for a relatively new pianist (
Someone with less than 2 years practice can't learn this. If you want to play this well and fluent you will need a lot of practice even if you are really good (talented and 10+ years practice). Even Animenz probaly practices a lot for a piece like this. I mean most people with less than 2 years practice struggle with playing the hard part of für elise fluently. They definitly can't play somethingb like this, especially not in 60 to 70 hours.
Lol the wait for this was sooooo worth it. While you do say it's a successor to Bios, I can't help but find that left hand to be like a crazier version of you Blumenkranz. Oh wait that song was also by Hiroyuki Sawano lol.
Einfach nur göttlich ^^ Ich höre es im Moment rauf und runter, die Melodie ist einfach nur wunderschön und es ist wie immer einfach nur bewundernswert wie gut es gespielt ist :D Mach bitte immer weiter so
After being inspired by this song, and the amazing anime, I brought myself to play this song live in concert last December. I've never felt so good playing in my life
My family hears me watch your videos, and they ask me, "why do you listen to piano if you don't play it?" Then I'm sitting here being Bitchy, because its so god damn good.
I love how the earlier parts of the song sounded so amazing without being filled with complex movements. Also, that left-hand... I love it, truly the successor of Bios.
I love this so much! Dude, aLIEz is my favorite anime ending of all time--So the fact that you kept true to the original song and that it just sounds _FANTASTIC_ is just great friend, just great! I applaud you! You just earned yourself a subscriber!
I think that even Sawano Hiroyuki himself wouldn't have imagined and performed such a perfect piano cover as you did. I might exagerate a little bit, but it's honestly tremendous : rather than a simple and flat cover, it's more like a whole new composition. Thank you for amazing me once again with your incredible talent, Animenz-senpai ! I can't wait for Gonna catch'em all ! PS : aLIEz and almost all the OST of Aldnoah.Zero has been performed by Mizuki *Nana*. PPS : No, in fact, it's just Mizuki, not Mizuki Nana (who is someone else). I dunno why my mind herpderped there. ._.
wait what? never heard of it? i have been nana fan for a long time, pretty sure it is not nana, that mizuki is someone else. edit: natalie.mu/music/pp/sawanohiroyuki yeah it is not mizuki nana, idk why her name only mizuki (but if her full name actually mizuki nana, sorry, my mistake)
Z.Ra Rawr You're right, mate. Mea culpa, it's another Mizuki who performed the lyrics of aLIEz. I know who Nana Mizuki is and I know how is her voice, I just don't understand why my brain herpderped there. xD

I have to say, when I glanced over the sheets last night, this arrangement looked rather ordinary (perhaps I've gotten too used to seeing complex 6-7+ page sheets from you). But as soon as I started listening, the rich bass line and catchy beat sucked me in immediately. Even though it seems rather simple on paper, the actual performance sounds much more complex, with a liberal use of contrasting motifs between hands and a resonating drum rhythm in the left hand. I thoroughly enjoyed this departure from your usual arrangement style. oh and POKEMON HYPE WOOHOOO #GottaCatchEmAll
Your left hand technique is so UNIQUE !!! It is really attractive and edgy !!! The way you change the chord at any new sequence makes the song way more extraordinary ! I can only figure this out when I stare at your left hand ^^
+1 Random_Chick but Ecbrd, I think this is "easier" than you can think, I mean it's harder for me to do fast arpeggios (like in "This Game" I currently work on) than this work on the left hand But this piece it's still a beast xD
Dank rhythms in the left hand mate! Gotta add this one to my to-learn list. So much hype for the pkmn theme, which I've heard you play at almost all your SG concerts :D
That technique wow. I love how you're able to represent so many layers from the original song while still maintaining that energetic bassline. And 3:03 so beautiful~~~
Definitely the best arrangement I ever heard on this song. Love your style, the off beat left hand notes take this song to another level. My next piece to learn for sure!
Since this song doesn't have a lot of variety, I thought you were going to add your own little mix into it.. - similar to your "My Dearest" arrangement. But! For the most part at least, you stuck to the original. Both methods of playing have their uniqueness. I'm starting to like you sticking 85%+ to the original.. It keeps the arrangements more.. free. It gives players (of proper skill level) to take your.. template and change it as they wish. Your template being the arrangement advanced, but very close to the original. When you already remix the song yourself, it makes it more difficult for others to make their own spin-off. Awesome playing as always. I was very excited for this, because I knew you would be able to take a song without much to it, and turn it into a song with tons of articulation in the more subtle parts. Your playing includes A LOT of notes, but the way they are used makes the song more refined. Everything clicks together as you play, which is another big reason as to why I see you as an inspiration. It's brilliant, to say the least. I hope to see more sooner than later! *Realllyyyyyyy excited for the Pokemon OP. Nerded out when you mentioned it. I can't wait to see your take on it.*
Man, I started watching your videos like in november and I cant stop watching them. You're the best and I swear after I started learning a few of your transpositions, I've become a better pianist and it has helped me with my "audition" type pieces. I also really appreciate that you make your sheets available. I love anime, keep doing what your doing because its the best.
th-cam.com/video/NdEJCMTpIvQ/w-d-xo.html Your comment inspired me a lot that I actually perform it at my school haha. Please give a look ^^ Thank you !
Awesome cover! Sawano is indeed the best anime OST composer! Aliez, even though played as ed and and OST, is no an exception! Originally I was very busy working on assignments. But then I log onto TH-cam and saw this! I instantly dropped my study and listened to this 3times! This really motivates me in my study and everything else I do! ======== I really like the repeating motifs. They are not muddy but they resonates clearly!The instrumental section in the middle sounds awesome! Recently, you style is more closely aligned with the original! I like it but at the same time, maybe you could add some original ideas like you did in the older arrangements, as in Euterpe, nagi no askua and few others that have special ending + classical runs. APA
A- awesome piano skills N-no one can deny this i- i am totally going to subscribe M- mother fluffy patty pancakes this is amazing E-excellent on the piano N-never going to stop playing this music Z-zebras have stripes and awesome music
Thank you for playing. Not many people I hear share the emotion that you share while playing the piano. Please keep playing you are amazing and make me cry with every piece you play. Thank you for sharing. Love it! Looking earnestly forward to the next one!
I will rise in resistance Sing the oath of rebellion End cease-fire on this high wire Head to toe in vanity When those eyes in the mirrior stare back at me I'm reminded that the ghost of pride is clear to see Wipe away the weakness Will you let those scars define you? Or will they adorn you as we carve our way to victory? Doubt is crying out but I refuse to let it drown me Wearing down my fight till nothing's left I SAY CRIER I SAY LIAR I SAY RISE IN HELL I stand gazing down at death as they say.. WAR I'll wage war I hate war They say fight for peace.. but what is that? (music) Raise a shield to the bullets Hold my ground, all I got now But i'm defendless, all but helpless if it gives beneath my feet I turn from the mirror- that desperate plea I refuse and can't believe those eyes belong to me Come on, one more breath My ravage voice betrays me mid-shout Will you never hear those final words I fail to choke out Tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct But now I regret- what have I done? I SAY CRIER I SAY LIAR I SAY RISE IN HELL I'M JUST ABOUT TO BURST AS THEY SAY.. WAR I'LL WAGE WAR I HATE WAR There's no end to this.. Can't you see that? (music) A cowardly facade weaves into my voice As I call for war, blinded by this far- fetched noble cause Although I had a choice, I believed the lies But it's all a dream, ending when I open up my eyes Come on, one more breath My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout Will you never hear those final words I fail to choke out? Tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct But now I regret- What have I done? I SAY CRIER I SAY LIAR I SAY RISE IN HELL I stand gazing down at death as they say... WAR I'LL WAGE WAR I HATE WAR They say fight for peace... Does it exist? My hand, can you reach it? My cry, can you hear it? Can you, can you tell me if this "dream" was worth it? My hand, can you reach it? My cry, can you hear it? Can you, can you help me? Wake me from this nightmare
+jwypiano You haven't played a Steinway yet? You must be rather new to piano because all experienced players along with myself have at least once, go find one, they are pretty good.
"Especially the section starting at 2:53 should be played in the most convincing forte fortissimo ever, the whole piano should be shaking at this point, and every listener should trembling with awe." - Everything sounds the way it should sound! Every time I listen to this, a shiver runs through my body. Ready to listen to it millions of times! Now I also want to learn this, but I'm afraid that I can’t do it. I had to listen to the teacher and do more at home. And I also realized that I need to study English more diligently😅.

+Boeing21159 because it's a Steinway which has a rather mellow sound to it

The left hand is so amazing and so difficult that I keep thinking how could he come up with this and how many humans can really play this.

How far have you gotten?
This is the first Animenz piece I learned, took 4 months before I got to full speed XD. it was known to me as "the song of the nuke"
bro i love the way you can turn a multi instrumental song into a single instrumental. And this song gives me the chills
I SAY CRIIIEERRR I SAY LIAAARRR I SAYYY this is AWESOMEEEEEEEE
I've been obsessed with this song recently and I screamed when I saw you posted this! Amazing work!!
funny how in the description hes giving advice on how to play this as if simple humans could play as well as him.

Hahaha...
He's not a normal human,
Hess a hoomann
I'm learning it at the moment, I don't have a problem with the notes themselve rather with the rhythm so it's a nice gesture from him to give some advice.

dam what did you do to your bass? sounds coffee crisp.
nice use of counterpoint t 1:48.. gotta love that dualism of both motifs.
+PaintAMelody I used a similar microphone setup as the video for my miiro - Kancolle OP cover, the microphones are moved much closer to the bass strings of the steinway grand piano than usual.

pain in the arse to actually try to play it though XD

Damn, goosebumps appearing everywhere.. I freaking love this arrangement, especially the left hand. Looked like a super fast spider rushing on the keys :D
That drum riff is soo hypnotic.
You are seriously a genius. I don't think any piano arranger in the history of ever captured the rhythm of any song as well as you do.

I agree!
You're pretty good at left handed arpeggios and I applaud you for that, nice job
Havoc thank you
Could you tell me how hard this song is to play ? I don't know if i should give it a try
Shining Lotus If it has left handed arpeggios then it's pretty hard
Normally you should have a good idea of what type of difficulty you would have learning any piece. If this is one of your first "difficult" pieces (difficult is a very relative term), then it will most certainly be difficult. Now as for "how" difficult, that depends on your approach and how much your practice. I think it will take roughly 60 to 70 hours of solid practice and memorization for a relatively new pianist (
Someone with less than 2 years practice can't learn this. If you want to play this well and fluent you will need a lot of practice even if you are really good (talented and 10+ years practice). Even Animenz probaly practices a lot for a piece like this.
I mean most people with less than 2 years practice struggle with playing the hard part of für elise fluently. They definitly can't play somethingb like this, especially not in 60 to 70 hours.
i love how the melody line switches between his let and right hand.. its so clever
Lol the wait for this was sooooo worth it.
While you do say it's a successor to Bios, I can't help but find that left hand to be like a crazier version of you Blumenkranz. Oh wait that song was also by Hiroyuki Sawano lol.
i am crying because i never knew this video existed before today and i am too amazed by the beauty of aLIEz interpreted by the piano
I SAY FRY IT YEAH, I SAY RIOT, I SAY RICE AGAIN
Otaku Lyrics
sounds like cooking instruction
otaku 201 lyrics.
I'm so sorry..
I couldn't stop my laughter from almost choking me.
LMAO
Einfach nur göttlich ^^ Ich höre es im Moment rauf und runter, die Melodie ist einfach nur wunderschön und es ist wie immer einfach nur bewundernswert wie gut es gespielt ist :D
Mach bitte immer weiter so
Это зашибенно! Каждый раз слушаю и мурашки по коже пробегают🔥🥶
After being inspired by this song, and the amazing anime, I brought myself to play this song live in concert last December.
I've never felt so good playing in my life
Beautiful :D
My family hears me watch your videos, and they ask me, "why do you listen to piano if you don't play it?"
Then I'm sitting here being Bitchy, because its so god damn good.
“Why do you listen to Kpop when you don’t even understand it?”
Me: 🙄
This is still one of my favorites of everything you've done. I have no idea why compared to all the great things you've done.
左右の連携が素っっ晴らしい……全然違和感ない……
aLIEz
Everything from A to Z were all lies.
iStephenRxxV|V3rmillion Well done
lmao lol nice
"Everything from A to Z was all a big lie" works even better
ScarletCrescent
All lies-> Aliez
There is a lie between AZ, Aldnoah Zero is a lie
I love how the earlier parts of the song sounded so amazing without being filled with complex movements. Also, that left-hand... I love it, truly the successor of Bios.
I love this so much! Dude, aLIEz is my favorite anime ending of all time--So the fact that you kept true to the original song and that it just sounds _FANTASTIC_ is just great friend, just great! I applaud you!
You just earned yourself a subscriber!
Yaaaaas finally! Amazing as always mate!
If I could, I am going to like this video as many times as I can, until my finger falls off.
that would mean you would try to like as if you would play this piece ^^
I love literally every song that animenz uploads. Really hoping one day he plays the Akagami no Shirayuki-hime ED, its so beautiful.
You're a fucking incredible pianist. Maybe one of the best ever.
I've seen good piano arrangements, but this is on a whole other level. Absolutely incredible. Beautiful piece. You are incredibly talented.
*reads description* -- "is basically a rhythm etude"
*hits play* -- *cries in corner because I don't have two brains for each hand*
Animenz you are a truly a god of anime pianist
YASS, I have been waiting for this!!!
+MRFLUFFYPIG i bet that ship was ready for this too hehe
The control!! I hope to be like this when I finally learn the piano!
I think that even Sawano Hiroyuki himself wouldn't have imagined and performed such a perfect piano cover as you did.
I might exagerate a little bit, but it's honestly tremendous : rather than a simple and flat cover, it's more like a whole new composition.
Thank you for amazing me once again with your incredible talent, Animenz-senpai ! I can't wait for Gonna catch'em all !
PS : aLIEz and almost all the OST of Aldnoah.Zero has been performed by Mizuki *Nana*.
PPS : No, in fact, it's just Mizuki, not Mizuki Nana (who is someone else). I dunno why my mind herpderped there. ._.
wait what? never heard of it? i have been nana fan for a long time, pretty sure it is not nana, that mizuki is someone else.
edit: natalie.mu/music/pp/sawanohiroyuki
yeah it is not mizuki nana, idk why her name only mizuki (but if her full name actually mizuki nana, sorry, my mistake)
Z.Ra Rawr
You're right, mate. Mea culpa, it's another Mizuki who performed the lyrics of aLIEz.
I know who Nana Mizuki is and I know how is her voice, I just don't understand why my brain herpderped there. xD
I really love your left hand patterns.
I genuinely CRIED I can’t believe how happy this made me, it’s simply too beautiful
Beneath "Unravel" my favorite. You played most impressive! Unbelivable left hand....

This reminded me why I love A/Z so much. Dem actions dem feelings and dem musics.
I have to say, when I glanced over the sheets last night, this arrangement looked rather ordinary (perhaps I've gotten too used to seeing complex 6-7+ page sheets from you). But as soon as I started listening, the rich bass line and catchy beat sucked me in immediately. Even though it seems rather simple on paper, the actual performance sounds much more complex, with a liberal use of contrasting motifs between hands and a resonating drum rhythm in the left hand. I thoroughly enjoyed this departure from your usual arrangement style.
oh and POKEMON HYPE WOOHOOO #GottaCatchEmAll
how can aliez tanslate to piano so well. there is something hypnotic of that starting part
I thought it was impossible to make it alive without that amazing vocal. Now I'm just thinking about how noob am I in music world
Your left hand technique is so UNIQUE !!! It is really attractive and edgy !!! The way you change the chord at any new sequence makes the song way more extraordinary ! I can only figure this out when I stare at your left hand ^^
His left hand is going fucking nuts holy shit!
He's playing left handed arpeggios, which is pretty difficult but you get used to it...
I've done those, and it hurts your wrist. I can't play for more than 20 minutes doing those 😂
You should see his other covers, like Guren no Yumiya and My Dearest from guilty crown. Insane handywork there (literally)
Jaw-dropping...
+1 Random_Chick but Ecbrd, I think this is "easier" than you can think, I mean it's harder for me to do fast arpeggios (like in "This Game" I currently work on) than this work on the left hand
But this piece it's still a beast xD
Oh my god, I love the anime! Thank you so much Animenz for playing this song. I'm sure to be learning this one.
0:59 is just pure gold
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this :D beautifully done as always!
Well done! absolutely beautiful. You inspire me to play piano everyday.
Dank rhythms in the left hand mate! Gotta add this one to my to-learn list.
So much hype for the pkmn theme, which I've heard you play at almost all your SG concerts :D
why do piano players always have such good-looking hands?
That technique wow. I love how you're able to represent so many layers from the original song while still maintaining that energetic bassline. And 3:03 so beautiful~~~
す、すごい...！
Definitely the best arrangement I ever heard on this song. Love your style, the off beat left hand notes take this song to another level. My next piece to learn for sure!
I wonder who dislike these amazing videos
2:36 coolest bit of piano I have ever heard
Since this song doesn't have a lot of variety, I thought you were going to add your own little mix into it.. - similar to your "My Dearest" arrangement.
But! For the most part at least, you stuck to the original. Both methods of playing have their uniqueness. I'm starting to like you sticking 85%+ to the original.. It keeps the arrangements more.. free. It gives players (of proper skill level) to take your.. template and change it as they wish. Your template being the arrangement advanced, but very close to the original.
When you already remix the song yourself, it makes it more difficult for others to make their own spin-off.
Awesome playing as always. I was very excited for this, because I knew you would be able to take a song without much to it, and turn it into a song with tons of articulation in the more subtle parts. Your playing includes A LOT of notes, but the way they are used makes the song more refined. Everything clicks together as you play, which is another big reason as to why I see you as an inspiration. It's brilliant, to say the least.
I hope to see more sooner than later!
*Realllyyyyyyy excited for the Pokemon OP. Nerded out when you mentioned it. I can't wait to see your take on it.*
Of all the versions of this out there this one hits the hardest. So much passion on every bit.
I come here for the whole thing but i especially love 2:53
One of my all time favorite anime endings, I've been waiting for a spotless composition and this was amazing.
You play all this songs so beautiful :') I love it
Oh yes! Finally here! That's just so beautiful like always!
Oh, hello there, video.
For once i get to be early.
Lets think of a joke.
My piano playing skills
You mean *my* musical and artistic skills.
You mean OURS
Man, I started watching your videos like in november and I cant stop watching them. You're the best and I swear after I started learning a few of your transpositions, I've become a better pianist and it has helped me with my "audition" type pieces. I also really appreciate that you make your sheets available. I love anime, keep doing what your doing because its the best.
who else is imagining playing this at their school
that's exactly what I was doing XDD
you embarass me :3
I'm a PhD student. And even I am imagining playing this at my school.
@ the power of animenz is unreal lol
th-cam.com/video/NdEJCMTpIvQ/w-d-xo.html
Your comment inspired me a lot that I actually perform it at my school haha. Please give a look ^^ Thank you !
Hiroyuki Sawano is sooooo goated
从b站飞过来支持。弹得简直帅炸了！！

+Yihao Gao (Ethan) 呵呵
I love how you capture all the sounds from the actual song and put it into an amazing piano arrangement. Well done!
Awesome cover! Sawano is indeed the best anime OST composer! Aliez, even though played as ed and and OST, is no an exception! Originally I was very busy working on assignments. But then I log onto TH-cam and saw this! I instantly dropped my study and listened to this 3times! This really motivates me in my study and everything else I do!
========
I really like the repeating motifs. They are not muddy but they resonates clearly!The instrumental section in the middle sounds awesome! Recently, you style is more closely aligned with the original! I like it but at the same time, maybe you could add some original ideas like you did in the older arrangements, as in Euterpe, nagi no askua and few others that have special ending + classical runs.
APA
The absolute fitness into the arrangement!!! You could hear the essence of the song in this arrangement!!!
A- awesome piano skills
N-no one can deny this
i- i am totally going to subscribe
M- mother fluffy patty pancakes this is amazing
E-excellent on the piano
N-never going to stop playing this music
Z-zebras have stripes and awesome music
Absolutely beautiful. I've watched Aldnoah.Zero nor heard any of the soundtrack. Now I'll definitely have to check it out.
+Michael Adams Never watched*
***** I've put it at the top of my list after listening to this. (:
+Michael Adams You should watch it, its good if I should say so myself :D
Well now i will start the anime because of this cover...
Thank you for playing. Not many people I hear share the emotion that you share while playing the piano. Please keep playing you are amazing and make me cry with every piece you play. Thank you for sharing. Love it! Looking earnestly forward to the next one!
I will rise in resistance
Sing the oath of rebellion
End cease-fire on this high wire
Head to toe in vanity
When those eyes in the mirrior stare back at me
I'm reminded that the ghost of pride is clear to see
Wipe away the weakness
Will you let those scars define you?
Or will they adorn you as we carve our way to victory?
Doubt is crying out but I refuse to let it drown me
Wearing down my fight till nothing's left
I SAY CRIER
I SAY LIAR
I SAY RISE IN HELL
I stand gazing down at death as they say.. WAR
I'll wage war
I hate war
They say fight for peace.. but what is that?
(music)
Raise a shield to the bullets
Hold my ground, all I got now
But i'm defendless, all but helpless if it gives beneath my feet
I turn from the mirror- that desperate plea
I refuse and can't believe those eyes belong to me
Come on, one more breath
My ravage voice betrays me mid-shout
Will you never hear those final words I fail to choke out
Tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
But now I regret- what have I done?
I SAY CRIER
I SAY LIAR
I SAY RISE IN HELL
I'M JUST ABOUT TO BURST AS THEY SAY.. WAR
I'LL WAGE WAR
I HATE WAR
There's no end to this.. Can't you see that?
(music)
A cowardly facade weaves into my voice
As I call for war, blinded by this far- fetched noble cause
Although I had a choice, I believed the lies
But it's all a dream, ending when I open up my eyes
Come on, one more breath
My ravaged voice betrays me mid-shout
Will you never hear those final words I fail to choke out?
Tried to survive by putting all my faith in instinct
But now I regret- What have I done?
I SAY CRIER
I SAY LIAR
I SAY RISE IN HELL
I stand gazing down at death as they say... WAR
I'LL WAGE WAR
I HATE WAR
They say fight for peace... Does it exist?
My hand, can you reach it?
My cry, can you hear it?
Can you, can you tell me if this "dream" was worth it?
My hand, can you reach it?
My cry, can you hear it?
Can you, can you help me?
Wake me from this nightmare
Amazed at the intensity and beauty of the arrange...
Anime Music has never been played so well on a Steinway.
my school just bough a steinway if only I could play like this on it XD
+Sentinel Spark Ahh you're so lucky, I've never touched a Steinway T_T
+Sentinel Spark bruh on what for school are you on 😑
+jwypiano You haven't played a Steinway yet? You must be rather new to piano because all experienced players along with myself have at least once, go find one, they are pretty good.
+david gemser it's a pretty posh school 😅 full of a lot of rich kids.
"Especially the section starting at 2:53 should be played in the most convincing forte fortissimo ever, the whole piano should be shaking at this point, and every listener should trembling with awe." - Everything sounds the way it should sound! Every time I listen to this, a shiver runs through my body. Ready to listen to it millions of times! Now I also want to learn this, but I'm afraid that I can’t do it. I had to listen to the teacher and do more at home. And I also realized that I need to study English more diligently😅.
