I just wanted to say that I love your work and I certainly agree that Asami Tachibana is an extremely talented composer, especially when it comes to making music that fits the scene. I was wondering if you are able to provide the sheet for expelling the darkness or windless star sea? they are amazing pieces and I'd be really glad if I'm able to play it for my friends. Thanks!

This is amazing, great performance!

hey, beautiful work! U inspired me to learn. I was just wondering how you managed the middle part? I can’t get my fingers to reach the chords needed and not sure what I should change or do

Haha your piano playing is a form of its own, The description is the best part, Thank you for your hard work. This has truly blessed my ears.

this still sounds really good 3 years later 🤩

LOVED IT!!! but try to hold down the pedal little less

Thank you so much for this!! March Comes In Like a Lion is definitely one of my favorite series of both anime and manga of all time, yet it’s so underrated. Your performance was amazing ^^

Saw you in the comment section of a video(it was an aot piano compilation) and got curious about you, and I'm happy that I saw your talent <3

That's incredible. Absolutely incredible i would love to see more

That’s good, looking forward to your remake version!

I have no enemies

Beautiful 😊

This is so good I love this song already and ur version is great 👏🏽

Crazy

Hi amazing work!!! Do you have sheet music for this one?

Essa descrição do vídeo é muito bela. Carregada de emoção e sinceridade.

great

"It sounds beautiful. Do you have the piano sheet music?"

would you have the sheet music for windless star sea? it sounds wonderful :)

beautiful

What a great tribute to Vinland Saga and its music! This video is truly a magnificent project and I love the way you depicted your journey and personal feelings in this video. You can tell that you really poured your all into this. Discussing deep topics including struggles and setbacks we all face is not an easy thing to do. Props to you for sharing this with an audience. I liked the statement: "For all the negativity you receive, love yourself 10x fold." from the ending section. :) This has been quite a long watch but definitely worth it, especially for someone like me who has spent a lot of time with the Vinland Saga soundtrack. I especially loved your performance of Dagger, nothing shy of greatness!

I'm blanking on what I want to say, but all I know is I feel incredibly calm right now after the soliloquy. Definitely a bit late haha, but watching this on Thanksgiving with my full attention without thinking about some essay deadline was the perfect decision. Save for the Fruits Basket medley (which is very special to me), this is my favorite video of yours that I've seen. I guess when I boil it down, the essence of what I want to say is simply that it was beautiful, and thank you. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story in which I saw fragments of myself scattered throughout, and thank you for all the videos you've ever made in the past. Even if it's just for today, I feel unbelievably at peace, and I'm extremely grateful for you gifting that clarity of mind through your artistic expression on the piano. Best of luck in whatever life brings you next, whether it be the CFA exam or whatever challenges lay ahead, though knowing you, I'm sure you'll be fine :)

beautiful <3

Bwam.. I hope you're well. It's been so long. I've never gotten the chance to watch Honey and Clover, but with the current events in my life and season I am in, it seems like watching this was a confirmation to do so. Beautiful playing as always, wishing you happiness!

its missing the best soundtrack of mushishi kyo mayu tori which is also the only one to have no tutorials anywhere

We have to spread the religion called "mushishi" around the world!1 Nice work. Unasaka Yori best song of all mushishi Songs. Crying without tears

bagus

Thank you so much for all the effort, passion and time you put into this single movie you made. I just finished to watch the whole thing, and I'll say, I've never seen a video like this, where one plays the piano the entire time and through text over the performance he opens himself and express the thoughts about the music he's playing and the personal journey he went in his life. It's really incredible not only to admire your skills with the pianoforte (sadly I didn't follow your channel through the years, but I can say, you are very very talented), but also your sensibility towards the music itself and the larger story and message of Vinland Saga. I do relate to you in a couple of things. Sadly, when I started high-school, I left my piano lessons, and now I do regret that decision - but I still remember and understand the feeling of playing with passion every note. Also, the pianoforte is probably my favourite instrument to listen to, I simply love the variety of emotions that it alone is capable of conveying by the hands of many incredibly talented musicians and composers, both from Hollywood and the anime industry. Lastly, I understand your journey as a content creator on UA-cam. I managed to get a larger audience than yours, but that doesn't make any difference - I went through and I'm still fighting the same struggles you shared in this video. And over the last months, I realized that numbers don't matter a thing, for real. I ended up in a cycle of unsatisfaction where I sold my passion for soundtracks to gain just a couple of videos and views more than my usual, and repeating it again, for a long time. Now I'm slowly accepting the perspective where, in the near future, I'll leave my channel to dedicate that precious time to more essential and relevant things than just music editing and posting videos. I mean, there are still a couple of projects I still wanna make and videos I'd die to produce and get out there, and maybe in the future I'll still occasionally return to my channel to post a new video - but I wish to be free from the ideas that, if I don't succeed on UA-cam, I mean nothing to everyone. And it's a paradox, consideing that many of my videos have gained a lot of views - but I feel I kinda steped into UA-cam in a moment of my life where I was seeking attention from others, and now that my real-life conditions are changing and growing, I am struggling to let go of this mental cage I fell into. I'm thankful that I'm starting to become more and more aware of this attitudine of mine, and somehow the end of this video was like an externat confirmation that this is the right path to take. Life is so much more than just posting videos and looking for numbers. It's about struggling to find a long-term goal, having a vision for the future and fighting for it, it's also about growing more confident with family and friends and the people around you, and becoming a better person yourself. Again, thank you so much for this video and sharing all your sincere thoughts about music, life and family ❤ P.S. In case in the future you'll be able to make other videos, I'd love to hear from you a piano cover of "Itself", from the OST of Vinland Saga Season 2. I'll always remember the first impressions I've had of this song while watching the anime, especially in Episodes 17 and 20. But until then, if you'll ever make it, I wish you a good life and good journey!

Really powerful stuff, I'm grateful to have gotten the opportunity to listen to it. Fight on, lad.

Great performance I leave bell activated and Like Stay connected

Sorry it took me so long to watch. And sorry bc this comment will be short bc the other ones seem to have said my thoughts already, and I don’t really know what else to say. But… This shit goes hard🔥🔥

Best Video on UA-cam for a good while. I had my eyes closed half the time in 3rd movement and felt it, mesmerized. Starting 48:00 till the end of the piece with those words is a perfect conclusion to those 50 minutes played. Along the lines of conquering chopin ballades or Sonatas, this will be in my list to someday play all of. I believe you beautifully portrayed everything you wanted with this movie. Thank you for being an OG supporter of mine which inexchange lead me to this channel. Even if this is the final upload, I know the piano journey itself won't end here. This is also what I love about youtube is that I can keep coming back to this video whenever I'm in that zone. There will never be enough words to talk about this but to only keep on coming back and feeling it. Again a big thanks for the support and the upload. I wish your the best on your life ahead!

If your mom taught you to play each note with intention/emotion, does a wrong key also convey that? There is no spoon nor enemies nor mistakes, only what your mind wants to perceive. She did a good job teaching you, glad you were able to learn and convey your emotions through this medium... A little to verbose for me, but more seem to enjoy it that way. Well done.

Congratulations, Brandon, on producing this monumental work of art for us! It is a perfect example of staying true to yourself while pushing the limits of the amount of work that goes into one piano recording. Having the running text commentary is a nice touch that engages the viewer throughout and makes us feel like we are in the room with you as you are playing. Maybe someday you can hire someone to re-edit your older videos to put your detailed descriptions directly into the videos! Watching this reminded me of my first encounter with your channel, the Mushishi medley, and how impressed I was that you had memorized the entire medley, as well as the deep level of commitment to the music. This current video is on a whole new level though, with the enormous scope of the project, as well as the improvisatory style of the music throughout and rhythmic freedom. So much color and life in your playing. You have our greatest admiration! So many beautiful moments in the Sonata, and the tone you make on your home piano really embodies the notion of music coming straight from the heart and body into the instrument. You mention this at one point in the video, and I feel you use your arm and body movements to produce sound rather than your fingers, and this is something we often teach to our students. The sound you produce from this technique is much richer and rounded. As Hayashi said, the 3rd movement is exceptionally beautiful, but the whole journey had a feeling of love and beauty throughout. We have not watched the anime, but the performance can speak to its viewers on multiple levels, so it was still easy to appreciate deeply. (We will watch it sometime in the future! Also, your mention of Barber's Adagio makes me want to arrange it in the future!) Our UA-cam journeys overlapped during the last few years, from our pre-COVID start, to our pandemic-era interactions with the anime piano community and devotion to regular YT uploads, to our current not caring about numbers at all. In your upcoming absence, we hope to continue to promote your genuine attitude towards music and sharing. You and your contributions and support have meant a lot of many of us all over the world!

Your an amazing pianist, I love how well you play! Vinland saga is one of my favorite anime’s and you played the songs beautifully. Great job!

Bro that’s beautiful 🤩

I woke up quite early today for my run, but I decided to delay it just for this. I am glad I did. I like how raw the playing was. It further emphasizes the genuine message that is trying to be conveyed. Not to mention, the use of clips was nicely done and it surely changed the mood. Although you may not have the best equipment, I can still here the beauty of your arrangements and I think you did them justice, even if it wasn't perfect. Reading your descriptions always made me reflect about myself as a pianist, and sometimes about art, and occasionally about life. The same can be said here, except to a much greater degree. There are many parts that I agree here. Chasing views and numbers can be stressful and sometimes it's hard to remember that they will most likely not matter in the end. Just like how the MC was blinded with revenge and vengeance, us pianists just want to impress as many people as we want even though we may not like what we are playing, or if it makes us stress. All that time wasted for temporary gratitude. I think this is why some may prefer a simple life instead spending their time competition to be at the top, when the chances are futile. There have been some times where I did regret spending a lot of time on certain things that I missed out on the fun I could have had with others. Not to mention, today we have become quite divided. We can't possibly agree with each other even over the silliest things, and this causes disagreements or fights between us. Many people want their enemies to lose, or to get ride of them. "I have no enemies" is what more people should be saying to themselves. Despite how hard it can be to control emotions, it is important to understand them, but one must understand themselves first. I thank you so much for making this big project for us. Even though you don't have a large audience, the impact this will have will be greater than any number on a screen will have. It certainly did for me. While I am young, I will always go back to this video and see if my perspective of it changes, or if it doesn't. Well, thats quite a lot, but these are my thoughts. Since all of your descriptions have been lengthy, might as well make a lengthy comment myself lol Well, it's been a great journey. I always checked your channel for the past two weeks for this. Thank you for your comments on my channel and sharing your thoughts. Thank you for being as original as can be and for always giving it your best despite your limited access to the piano. Though it may be a long while from now, I will always stay tuned for a video from you. And congrats on 500 subscribers, hopefully I will get there soon

Incredible

Peakland saga 🐐

Just... wow

This is gonna go down as one of the greatest of all time. Be sure to give your madlad editor a shoutout for shouldering the final film of the Mad Piano Life Cinematic Universe. In all seriousness, though, I found a lot of my own struggles in this video and have also found inner peace within the past year. I know that I have slowly become the worst semblance of myself through the pursuit of fame and idolization and have come to completely forget the positivity of my early UA-cam years as a result. Indeed, "I have no enemies" is a far better way to live, although I would argue that what I was doing on UA-cam wasn't even living, but more like decaying. My favorite movement was M3. It was very beautiful in undescribable ways. Hell, the entire video gave me that feeling. It's a work that anyone would be proud of as a final project, but to people who can relate to both music and story, it's especially special.

This still somehow just hits so different...

I notice you've been replying to every comment on this, so I ask-is there any way I can beg you to transcribe this medley so I can play it for my senior recital? I would probably need I'm The One Who's Always Saved and potentially Soma Family Tragedy simplified because my coordination isn't the best... If not I understand because I know it would probably be a lot of work 🩷

This slaps pretty hard. Based as hell cover. Good job!

Very calming tune👌😌
