  • Kantai Collection Soundtrack Medley, music by Natsumi Kameoka, piano arranged by ‪@Animenzzz‬​⁠​⁠, played by Richard Yang on Yamaha N1X with Garritan CFX VST.
    Another Animenz’s Top 10 Most Difficult! The peak difficulty in this piece (4:01 as an example) is even more difficult than the Wall in Unravel. The reason for ranking this behind Unravel is that the difficult parts in this piece do not sustain throughout the piece (otherwise it would be INSANE). Other than being crazy difficult, this is truly a majestic masterpiece, the most advanced level of piano arrangement!
    Recording the piece in full proved to be extremely difficult due to Part 3 (Decisive Battle). It’s almost impossible to record this part without mistakes. A few takes where I did well here I messed up the Victory March. Having run out of stamina to keep trying, especially with a piece this long, I had to make peace with having some major mistakes. I truly believe this is the kinda piece suited for my younger self.
    No piano lesson planned for this, way too difficult.
    0:00 - The Legendary Shipgirls
    1:22 - Sortie!
    2:18 - CRAZY LH Octave Jumps
    2:43 - The Decisive Battle
    4:01 - IMPOSSIBLE Part
    4:27 - The Endless Sea
    5:57 - Victory March
    7:26 - INSANE Finale, MAX Speed
    As with all of my performances, I have my own interpretation, so the tempo, dynamics, etc may feel quite different from the original recording. Simply put, I play the way I like it.

    This is the most difficult Animenz piece I’ve recorded on my Yamaha N1X.
    Out of 5 parts, I wonder if anybody listened to more than 3.

    People overlook how insane this Animenz arrangement is, both from a musicality and technicality standpoint. The way he weaves together, decorates, and innovates upon the soundtrack themes is unmatched. "Most advanced level of piano arrangement" indeed! I can't imagine what an endeavor recording this was, and have utmost respect for you pulling it off regardless of the understandable mistakes

      This is the kinda piece for my younger self. Compared to when I was 17/18, my stamina is now halved in my 40s. For the recording, I played continuously for like 3-4 hours, got maybe 3-4 potential takes. Picked this one where the mistakes are not from more important spots. People have no idea how difficult it is to record this piece in full. I didn’t want to just record each part separately.

    Wow. This is so magnificent I don't even know where to start. Like it's even amazing at 4:01 [like u mentioned in the description] that u can look up lmao. I would be sweating hard😅 good work!

      This is what truly difficult looks like. Most pieces, if I spend enough time, I can eventually polish close to perfection. (You probably noticed I currently do quantity over quality). Part 3 (battle) is just way too difficult to polish. I normally do the finale much better. But I had to settle with a take where Part 3 was not completely messed up.

    Great performance! I’m already listening the second time as I type. It’s a pleasure to listen and watch.
    This arrangement is amazing. The changes in difficulty and melodies throughout the song remind me of something Franz Listz would write.
    What would you say are the hardest parts?

    • @RichardYangPiano
      @RichardYangPiano  9 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      4:01 was impossible. That’s the fastest octaves in a very not jump-friendly key I’ve ever attempted. And the LH run before that is probably the most awkward one I’ve ever played so far. And before that, the repeated notes, this was difficult only because the N1X keys are so heavy.

      Part 3 drove me insane. Have a couple of AoT’s next to balance things out. I have a feeling you aim to finish all of Animenz’s AoT.

      @@lightbulbDDP Being relaxed and being soft are two different things. For example, try to play repeated octaves. If you’re using your wrist movement to play, you’re good. Use the other hand to feel your forearm. If it’s too stiff, you’re not relaxed. Because when you use your wrist for motion, your forearm should stay pretty loose.

    Hi Richard! How much time did this piece take for you?
    Me personally I don't think it's too difficult but it's a little bit long.

    • @RichardYangPiano
      @RichardYangPiano  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Oops!! I thought I was reading comment on Sasageyo released today. This took over a month. Maybe less than 2. This is extremely difficult. Some sections are more difficult than Unravel, but it’s not as difficult “throughout”. That’s why I ranked this behind Unravel on overall difficulty. If we consider the length of the piece, this was a nightmare to polish and get through the whole thing in one piece.
