If "practice 40 hours a day" is the TwoSetViolin motto, then "I paid for the whole piano, I'm gonna use the whole piano" is going to be the official Animenz motto.
@@Animenzzz I am very sure that there are many people who hope that you can play their favourite anime piece. By any chance, I can draw your attention to the song "Namida" from Skip Beat anime? Been trying to find a piano version but there is only one from many years ago in youtube and sound quality is a bit unclear. The melody of that song and its translated lyrics are what makes me remember it after so many years.
Your arrangements are always impressive, I can hear the words in my head while listening to this This is like the only anime I decided to watch because of the ending
LMAO Actually some of them aren't as hard we may think, like michishirube, dantalian no shouka op, clannad, and, surprisingly, guren no yumiya (first arrangement)
@@morgane5241 The first version of Guren no Yumiya (2013) is actually very difficult, almost more difficult than the full version I have uploaded this year, haha
@TinLo Hmmm, let's see, the second Guren no Yumiya doesn't have crazy fast-is-an-understatement ornaments anymore, no melody switch between the RH and LH you can see at the end of the first version either. HOWEVER, the musicality sure has tremendously improved, in fact, after comparing the two arrangements, I couldn't believe in my ears how on Earth is that improvement is possible (truly god-tier). Maybe that's why we find the latter edition much better.
@@nguyenhanh8127 it's definitely not the whole thing, and definitely not even most of his improvement, but a non-negligible reason for improvement is the recording improvement. The recording now sounds sooo much better and the piano sounds so much fuller because of it.
0:16 - here we goo 0:24 - I like this 0:54 - There it is, the Animenz left hand sweep ... x2! 1:32 - These high pings are making my day. I don't know what's the word for them 2:48 - seeing the hand movement made me instinctively want to nod my head along with it the next few times the same rhythm shows up 2:56 - 3:03 - I don't know why, but the pedal work +dynamics for this part seems ... meticulous 3:42 and 3:46 - Kids, this is why you practice your scales and chromatics -in hopes that it'll prepare you for something like this 3:53 - and I thought triplets in 4 4 time was hard
@@woosh_police4018 Not the person you're asking, but I also love kekkai sensen so I also want to say something. To me Kekkai sensen was a really really fun anime. Every character was unique and the world is just amazingly fun to discover as the characters go around about their lives. It's pretty confusing though, since they barely reveal anything about the main character and his motives, but that just made me pay extra attention to everything. Later on, in other seasons if i remember correctly, they reveal more slowly. You should definitely watch it.
Yes! This song, "Kawaki wo Ameku", and "Black Rover" are the three I really want to see an arrangement of, since these are some of the best bangers recently released, and I can just imagine how awesome they would sound in an Animenz arrangement (just like with "Gurenge" last week!)! However, I think Animenz arranges based on the shows he is currently watching based on the video description. I hope he sees your comment though! (That being said, Animenz if you see this, don't feel obligated to cover something you don't want to cover, your weekly uploads are all amazing!)
The anime Ed was one of the best in the history of anime Ed and the anime was really gud in my opinion so that is why kekkai sensen/Blood Blockade Battlefront is one of my favorite anime u can even tell by my pfp that is Leonardo Watch with sonic on his shoulder Update: Was Leonardo Watch

I saw this anime for the first time last year and hearing this song just reminds me of all the good feelings the anime left me with. Such a heartwarming, hilarious, and bittersweet show. Thanks for making this cover of the ending theme. I hope you will eventually cover the opening theme too because like this song you just played so masterfully, that opening is just dazzling and I would love to hear your rendition of it! Great work on this piece you showcased today. God bless you!!! :)
This is an especially impressive arrangement to me. Sure, things like Unravel are mechanically ridiculous and blow my mind, but this song has even more moving parts to it, and this is a mostly faithful adaptation on a single instrument. Bravo!
Looking at the music it seems rather simple note wise (most of the time). The speed might catch people off guard though. This song relies heavily on rhythms. You better be damn good at switching between triplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, sextuplets, and 16th notes (missing the e or & almost every time). As well as playing 2 of those rhythms at the same time on different hands half the piece.
This was one of the most interesting arrangements of yours for me so far! I had loved this song so bad, and it's such a pleasure that you just brought this song still so groovy yet cheerful in your own unique way! I really appreciate your works. Practicing your arrangements has been my main reason to keep playing the piano for years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Primarily, I haven't watched the anime "Sugar Song and Bitter Step - Kekkai Sensen ED" yet, and I listened to this song for the first time, too. However, I could evidently feel the sweet taste from the heart of Animenz's especially after the sufferance in the front part of his music life. I sincerely like this taste of Animenz's piano music, and also his indeed gratitude inside his mind.
I love how the groovy fun guitar runs are kept in. The whole song just sounds like a conversation between friends, sometimes joyous, sometimes grieving, always together.
Kekkai Sensen’s ED is absolutely one of my favs of all time purely bc it’s so fun, and I’m absolutely loving how you adapted x))) Thanks for the treat ❤️
Watched kekkai sensen for the first time like three weeks ago. Easily one of my favorite anime. Just so many good feels. It's sad how time moves on from then. I miss Hellsalem's Lot, and especially the characters, but I'm glad to see that others have yet to forget either - and probably never at that.
I dunno if Animenz can see my suggestion, but the whole Fate franchise creates songs that are so bomb. He already fine tuned a couple of those songs: Oath Sign, Brave Shine, Last stardust. I think continuing on with fine tuning songs from that Franchise like “Haru Wa Yuku” makes people like me wholesome.
There is just something about your arrangements... It was surely those simple piano techniques you use that gives life and such emotions that definitely reached me!
Haha I was thinking "How great it is if you made a cover for kekkai sensen's ed",and now it is here,I am really really hyped and appreciate your effort for every cover
I can tell you were grooving to the music a lot during your performance, especially with that finger wag towards the beat, and that graciously beautiful gliss at the end. You definitely had me grooving to the music! I’m sorry I missed the premiere. But, man this is a great performance! :)
this was actually soooo legendary man, it really makes me feel grateful that such a dedicated and talented individual exist in the anime community! thank you for your service to the world of anime!
Wow! Such an amazing cover! Probably the best arrangement I have ever heard of this song. It was beautiful, thank you for making this masterpiece ;-; ❤
I could not have asked for a better arrangement of my all time favorite anime ED. Outstanding work man! And yeah, that Pokemon parody is also my favorite.
You are jazzing it up again! I love when you try those jazz harmonies and mix it with your style - this arrangement and your vocaloid improvisations (like The World Is Mine!) that are floating around on UA-cam and BiliBili for example. The little details like grace notes, the jazz scales, and the endings are usually exciting and unusual compared to other covers (that stick to the traditional major/minor harmonies and usual pop song progressions). In this arrangement, the final F minor blues down then glissando is just a perfect end. You know you're grooving to your own song a lot when you wag your finger (2:58) lol. Do you do this often? I can see where you're coming from - not overcomplicating the song since the momentum is already carried by the addictive, "gaming"-style rhythm. I think you made the right choice, and it's the same choice I had when I was arranging AnoHana a long time ago.
I literally just finished this show. I have the entire soundtrack on Spotify, and somehow this song was my most listened to. The song by itself is great, and the animation was too hard to skip at the end of each ep, I was so sad when it was gone in S2
Omg! i didnt notice this yesterday!! I absolutely love this song, it makes me think of someone dear to me. Thank you so much, its the best birthday gift one could ask for!
shishimaru already made a tenkyu arrangement for solo piano which is rly good! I’d be more interested in animenz doing one for ryuuseigun! there’s a lot more going on in there than tenkyu BUT I would absolutely not refuse if animenz would cover all Kono oto tomare songs 👀👀👀👀
@@jordanmcnicholl6302 yes i saw there are 2 piano arrangements of tenkyu and ryuseigun on by some JP channels. but i just wanna see what crazy arrangement animenz can pull off solo :D all of the koto pieces in the show have crazy ornamention with the flicks and stuff and creating a lot of diff melody lines, i wonder if it would be a neat challenge for him to do it solo lol
When I saw the miniature, I said to myself even if it is Animenz Sensei who does the transcription, I would be uncompromising on this ending of kekkai sensen. well, i'm satisfied, it's an excellent job well done. GOOD JOB. Quand j'ai vu la miniature, je me suis dit même si c'est Animenz Sensei qui fait la transcription, je serais intrangisant sur cet ending de kekkai sensen. et bien, je suis satisfait, c'est un travail excellement bien fait. GOOD JOB
Awesome! I can barely find anything to nitpick in your cover, and that alone gives me chills. All the fun jazzy tunes are there, and I'm so glad I'm subbed to find this
Watching this and reading Animenz's comment, I've been what other ending theme songs became a classic meme across fandoms like Sugar Song. Then, I remember that it was Trust Me from Durarara!! season 1. Man, that ending spawned as much (or maybe more than) parodies as Sugar Song did. I'm suddenly overcome with nostalgia from just recalling it.
My favorite parodies are the ones with other anime characters, like a One piece cast doing the dance, because you end up seeing common character types between a lot of shows. Also MAD props for doing this so well! There are parts when this song is asynchronous in terms of rhythm, but you did it PERFECTLY.
A marvelous take on a jamming, jazzy anime classic. Btw - anyone else get slight Megalovania vibes at 2:32? :P Sugar Song and Bitter Step is one of those songs I can't help but groove along to whenever it comes on. The groovy rhythmic energy carries through this arrangement quite well with the strong bass lines in the LH and is well complemented by the sparkling but warm timbre of the Steinway. Sparkling moments for me: - All of the jamming rhythmic LH bass patterns - the da da dum rhythm at 0:39 was a great touch indeed. And we get it again at 1:37 - The way the arpeggiated lick at 1:32 sparkles like a Mario coin sound, right before getting into the second verse - The high register legato passage at 1:47 that contrasts the staccato nature of the rest of the piece - 2:32 Megalovania ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) - The absolutely sick rising jazzy run at 2:42 - The cute finger waves at 2:48 - Legato contrast again at 3:03, especially the soft sinking nature of the descending chord progression, concluded by the lovely chord trio at 3:11 - Changing it up with the triplet rhythm at 3:55 - The cute hand sweep at the end following the final glissando lol And yes, the Pokemon parody is by far my favorite as well :) Thanks for showing us some super groovy Animenz-style~ See you next week!
In 99% of all cases I would never include a Glissando at the end of a piece, but I made a big exception for this one because it was just too groovy. In fact the glissando was added at the very last minute in this take only (you can see my hand's reaction at 4:22, saying "wait... did I just...? Oh well", hahaha
Holy frick that technique! Like damn i would have not realized your transition from left hand to right hand if I haven't seen it :O I literally have no idea what I could say to express how impressive that was

Haha I was thinking "How great it is if you made a cover for kekkai sensen's ed",and now it is here,I am really really hyped and appreciate your effort for every cover
I can tell you were grooving to the music a lot during your performance, especially with that finger wag towards the beat, and that graciously beautiful gliss at the end. You definitely had me grooving to the music! I’m sorry I missed the premiere. But, man this is a great performance! :)
Oh hell yes I'm excited for this!
this was actually soooo legendary man, it really makes me feel grateful that such a dedicated and talented individual exist in the anime community! thank you for your service to the world of anime!
The Legend has decided to cover another classic. My ears in delight!
Wow! Such an amazing cover! Probably the best arrangement I have ever heard of this song. It was beautiful, thank you for making this masterpiece ;-; ❤
3:03, beatiful
伴奏苦しんだの多分田淵さんのせいでしょw 相変わらずの高クオリティ尊敬します
This has been my favorite anime song for about 3 years now, ever since i watched kekkai sensen for the first time. Amazing work!
This has been one of my favorite animes for a long, so thank you for covering it's ED!!! It sounds amazing, you absolutely did it justice! ^^
I could not have asked for a better arrangement of my all time favorite anime ED. Outstanding work man! And yeah, that Pokemon parody is also my favorite.
You are jazzing it up again! I love when you try those jazz harmonies and mix it with your style - this arrangement and your vocaloid improvisations (like The World Is Mine!) that are floating around on UA-cam and BiliBili for example. The little details like grace notes, the jazz scales, and the endings are usually exciting and unusual compared to other covers (that stick to the traditional major/minor harmonies and usual pop song progressions). In this arrangement, the final F minor blues down then glissando is just a perfect end. You know you're grooving to your own song a lot when you wag your finger (2:58) lol. Do you do this often?
I can see where you're coming from - not overcomplicating the song since the momentum is already carried by the addictive, "gaming"-style rhythm. I think you made the right choice, and it's the same choice I had when I was arranging AnoHana a long time ago.
I can't comprehend how someone can play a piano so well, you're amazing
I literally just finished this show. I have the entire soundtrack on Spotify, and somehow this song was my most listened to. The song by itself is great, and the animation was too hard to skip at the end of each ep, I was so sad when it was gone in S2
Omg, what a happy, jumpy arrangement!!! The more I listen to in the more I love it
You don't know how long I waited for this cover! Thank you, sir!
I love your piano arragement. It feels like hearing the whole song (with guitar, bass, drum, and vocal).
This was by far one of my favourite songs from an anime, great to see it performed by such an amazing pianist
This is one of the most groovy songs i have ever heard ^^
So glad you played this!!! I love this song as is! And now I get this awesome piano arrangement of it!! Thank you again, Animenz!
1:34 That left hand riff is the bane of my existance lmao
omg i really never expect you'll drop this! tysm! i think i'll start rewatching this anime
oml I just started the anime recently!! bless u for making this cover aaaaaa
Omg! i didnt notice this yesterday!! I absolutely love this song, it makes me think of someone dear to me. Thank you so much, its the best birthday gift one could ask for!
Yes finally Animenz cover this song.. already waiting for a long time
Thanks bro :D
I really want to see Animenz and Theister do a cover of Tenkyuu from Kono Oto Tomare. I am sure that piece would need 4 hands
shishimaru already made a tenkyu arrangement for solo piano which is rly good! I’d be more interested in animenz doing one for ryuuseigun! there’s a lot more going on in there than tenkyu BUT I would absolutely not refuse if animenz would cover all Kono oto tomare songs 👀👀👀👀
@@minmin-hd9bu There is a 2 piano arrangement floating around on youtube. I was thinking a duel piano cover.
@@jordanmcnicholl6302 yes i saw there are 2 piano arrangements of tenkyu and ryuseigun on by some JP channels. but i just wanna see what crazy arrangement animenz can pull off solo :D all of the koto pieces in the show have crazy ornamention with the flicks and stuff and creating a lot of diff melody lines, i wonder if it would be a neat challenge for him to do it solo lol
I wouldn't be angry at that
Yes that would be so great
Oh my gosh that is my favorite song ever!

When I saw the miniature, I said to myself even if it is Animenz Sensei who does the transcription, I would be uncompromising on this ending of kekkai sensen. well, i'm satisfied, it's an excellent job well done. GOOD JOB. Quand j'ai vu la miniature, je me suis dit même si c'est Animenz Sensei qui fait la transcription, je serais intrangisant sur cet ending de kekkai sensen. et bien, je suis satisfait, c'est un travail excellement bien fait. GOOD JOB
wEW OUT OF EVERYONE I REALLY DIDN'T EXPECT U TO COVER THIS BUT THAAAAANKKKSSSSSS
Oh I am so excited ! This anime brings me so much nostalgia, especially because of this song
I love pianists who can make you hear the entire band with only the Piano. Thisnis definitely Beethoven tier.
Awesome! I can barely find anything to nitpick in your cover, and that alone gives me chills. All the fun jazzy tunes are there, and I'm so glad I'm subbed to find this
This is one of the best ED in existence and I'm sure Animenz made the best piano arrangement on it!!
ugh so nostalgic.. haven't listened to this ending song in ages thank you for this!
You're an absolute monster on the keys Animenz 😭🔥🔥
Watching this and reading Animenz's comment, I've been what other ending theme songs became a classic meme across fandoms like Sugar Song. Then, I remember that it was Trust Me from Durarara!! season 1. Man, that ending spawned as much (or maybe more than) parodies as Sugar Song did. I'm suddenly overcome with nostalgia from just recalling it.
お見事です。
１音１音丁寧で聴きやすいです。
My favorite parodies are the ones with other anime characters, like a One piece cast doing the dance, because you end up seeing common character types between a lot of shows. Also MAD props for doing this so well! There are parts when this song is asynchronous in terms of rhythm, but you did it PERFECTLY.
I came here because of the MHA, Undertale Au and Dsmp ones
A marvelous take on a jamming, jazzy anime classic.
Btw - anyone else get slight Megalovania vibes at 2:32? :P
Sugar Song and Bitter Step is one of those songs I can't help but groove along to whenever it comes on. The groovy rhythmic energy carries through this arrangement quite well with the strong bass lines in the LH and is well complemented by the sparkling but warm timbre of the Steinway.
Sparkling moments for me:
- All of the jamming rhythmic LH bass patterns
- the da da dum rhythm at 0:39 was a great touch indeed. And we get it again at 1:37
- The way the arpeggiated lick at 1:32 sparkles like a Mario coin sound, right before getting into the second verse
- The high register legato passage at 1:47 that contrasts the staccato nature of the rest of the piece
- 2:32 Megalovania ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- The absolutely sick rising jazzy run at 2:42
- The cute finger waves at 2:48
- Legato contrast again at 3:03, especially the soft sinking nature of the descending chord progression, concluded by the lovely chord trio at 3:11
- Changing it up with the triplet rhythm at 3:55
- The cute hand sweep at the end following the final glissando lol
And yes, the Pokemon parody is by far my favorite as well :)
Thanks for showing us some super groovy Animenz-style~ See you next week!
In 99% of all cases I would never include a Glissando at the end of a piece, but I made a big exception for this one because it was just too groovy. In fact the glissando was added at the very last minute in this take only (you can see my hand's reaction at 4:22, saying "wait... did I just...? Oh well", hahaha
Look at the hands, sometimes they look like tentacles, so flexible! And omg i miss that song, is been a long time i heard it. You're incredible.
OH MY GOD Animenz is doing Sugar Song, this is my favourite!!!
not only does animenz have great piano skills, but he also picks damn great songs/pieces!
2:48 that right hand move made me smile so much haha
This is one of the few anime’s if not the only show where I never skipped the ED and just vibes to it every single damn time
just godlike
Holy frick that technique! Like damn i would have not realized your transition from left hand to right hand if I haven't seen it :O I literally have no idea what I could say to express how impressive that was
