[Animenz arr.] Domestic Girlfriend OP - Kawaki wo Ameku (Crying for Rain) | 200 Subs Special

[@WikiBidoz]

Yay I reached 200! Thanks to everyone who made me reach this goal~
*About the song:* yes it's a bit slowed down (about 115bpm vs about 128 of the Animenz official), and there has been some midi editing (as with every song I've uploaded recently) but the video isn't sped up, and I needed to slow down to get every note with enough interpretation

[@eddinatorkostin2005]

I Think the Version that you played i bit better in my opinion

[@WikiBidoz]

@@eddinatorkostin2005 thanks!

[@owenflanagan3154]

I’ve noticed that almost every person covering Animenz rushes and sacrifices accuracy for speed. I cant tell you how refreshing it is to see somebody slow it down a bit to play it precisely. Beautifully played. This is far more impressive and enjoyable to listen to. Much respect.

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man :D

[@Rafarofapiano]

the slower rhythm but with an extremely clean playing and without running over the notes was certainly exceptional, what a great job!

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

[@thiagodorville5883]

damn, look who i found

[@W3lol1]

Playing it at a slower tempo where everything is crystal clear is 1000x better than rushing and hitting lots of inaccuracies. This is the best cover of animenz's I've heard so far. Well done

[@WikiBidoz]

Glad you liked it! I was a bit unsure about that decision but ultimately I quite like how it sounds and that's what's important :)

[@aymenortashi8411]

1:44 sounds so good slowed down, my fav part

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks!

[@cent6715]

words can't describe this performance man, it's wonderful.

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks :D

[@RichardYangPiano]

Obviously very skilled. But I’m most impressed by the fact that this was performed on a shaky keyboard, with loose pedal. I didn’t believe you could do serious playing on one of these.

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man :)
In later videos I bought a better stand, now it doesn't shake nearly as much

[@mt2r-music]

Really nice performance. It’s always interesting to hear a different variant of something that already exists. Being slowed down doesn’t made it sound bad at all.

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man!

[@PianoVI]

This is impressive work!
Amazing job learning it!
I can't wait to see you tackle the remaining 8 of Animenz's 10 most difficult :P

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man! I really should take suggestions on which Animenz piece to learn after... I really like Bloody Stream and Cry Baby, hopefully a bit more possible than the other in his hardest 10 playlist lol

[@PianoVI]

@@WikiBidoz i’ve not seen the score but i think Cry Baby is easier than Crying for Rain, so you’re all set!

[@Tristan-mv6lc]

Wow very good, this is a seriously hard arrangement. Only thing I'd say is the part with the three hand technique after the first chorus should be more staccato, animenz barely uses any pedal for that section

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks :) you're right tho

[@PZMAnimePiano]

I can only dream of learning this so quickly or even being able to play it, wonderful playing XD
Congrats on 200 subs!

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man :)

[@YehPianoCovers]

As mentionned, the slowed down tempo was a very intelligent choice. Slowed down and beautifully played (like here) > og tempo but lots of mistakes and rushing.
Good one! I think this is my first time watching one of your videos and the quality is very respectable!
(btw what piano is that? how's the key action?)

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks! Hope to progress to further goals, btw the piano is a yamaha CP4, really nice keyboard and really customizable sounds, pretty nice for live without vsts too

[@Dstro]

Ooo cool

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks :)

[@quang.5613]

as a person who doesnt know anything about the piano, watching the pedal bouncing is quite interesting

[@HaydenPianoCovers]

I greatly appreciate hearing you play it at a slightly slower tempo, because your phrasing and accuracy were remarkable. I would take this over a more scuffed faster tempo version any day, this sounds remarkably similar to Animenz's own performance. Also, what VST are you using? It sounds very close to Animenz's audio

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks! I'm using Garritan's cfx concert grand btw :)

[@YayaPiano1]

YOOO YOU HIT 500 DOOD!!!!
Well deserved!:))
Keep up the good stuff!
_Also love the stuff you've put into the drive so far!!_ 🙏😌
And ofc this fantastic take on this arr 😄

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man! Hope to finish arranging the 500 special soon :)

[@Juwu85]

Underrated channel alert, I like :)

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks, appreciated :)

[@CaaziPianoSheets]

Wow the algorithm has blessed me with this video. I loved that you slowed the tempo so that you wouldn’t make any mistakes, excellent choice!

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man! Glad it didn't sound too slow :)

[@nicholasnoll1396]

this is really good! you have yourself a new sub :)

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man :)

[@LinuxPiano]

Damn this is really clean. Love your piano sound too, really nice work!
Thought this was the first time watching one of your videos but it seems I've watched your dxd covers before AHAHA

Thanks ahaha

[@ruuowo]

ur so smooth with it

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man :D

[@TemplePiano]

Astonishing articulation and interpretation. Perfectness.

[@WikiBidoz]

Tysm! There's still big room for improvement tho :)

[@henrylevi9898]

Incredible! Very nicely played, animenz is very challenging and you did a great job

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks :)

[@atthallarayhann9941]

That accuracy is so good

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks :)

[@aidswidjaja]

I actually liked that you played it slower - it means that I have more time to appreciate the arrangement lol

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks lol

[@darrenbarnes6904]

Such a pleasure to listen to.
I'd love to hear you play Animenz Cruel Angles Thesis, Evangelion too!

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks! Honestly the next Animenz cover I wanted to try was Kaibutsu but this summer I'm kinda busy with other projects so I'll need to see~

[@darrenbarnes6904]

@@WikiBidoz aye thats great too!
Maybe when you've got more time later then :)

[@jae_hee_hee]

Amazing ❤️ Animenz’s arrangements are always so complicated but you still managed to learn it 🤩

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks! It was pretty hard tbh, I had to practice a lot

[@em8714]

Well done. Must be hard to play on that shaky piano and yet you still managed to make it sound great.

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks! Tbf I have an upright too for comparison and the shakiness of the keyboard isn't that much of a problem unless you repeatedly octave-slide up and down from a black key to a white key (in that case it's hard to keep it stable enough)

[@JasperTeo]

I am sincerely impressed! Great job ;)

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man!

[@Bangkilit]

What an elaborate cover! I almost can't see your mistakes.

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks :)

Woah that was amazing and so clean! I reaallyy like that you played it slower than Animenz because your playing is sooo accurate and doesn't sound rushed at all. Great job!!!

[@WikiBidoz]

Tysm! Hope you'll like my next uploads :)

[@ArjunR856]

1.15% speed for normal bpm

[@jrbarrientos6054]

One of the best performances that I've heard of Animenz' arrangement. Such a nice tempo and the articulation of each note was great. What I really enjoyed was the crispness of the arpeggios and how you didn't drown out the melody with the left hand (was it to do with the pedalling?) and how long did it take you to learn? Amazing all around

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! I usually spend a lot of time for dynamics and my focus, as you noticed, is mainly to make following the melody as easy as possible (so lowering the left hand dynamics and working on 3-hands technique dynamics too). I started learning as soon as Animenz published the sheets so around 3 weeks but I practiced quite a lot everyday

[@HelianGamePiano]

x1.25 would be best :)
The vibe is so close to the original, good work !

[@vampiric_764]

Your playing never fails to amaze as always! That's also some quick learning and very accurate playing, it still gives me the somewhat lonely feeling that i felt from the original song.
and last but not least, congratulations on reaching your 207th subscriber!!!

[@vampiric_764]

also, nice three hand technique

[@WikiBidoz]

Tysm! Ngl, I practiced a lot these weeks to learn those parts, the three hand part and the last right hand part were brutal

[@ezechung2227]

Wow, you really managed to learn this in one month or less!! do you hace any tips on learning pieces this quick and accurately?

[@WikiBidoz]

Thanks! The tips I could give are find the fingerings you want to use when practicing slowly, not when struggling to speed up, then find the best fingerings for you, I found that in this piece in section B Animenz does the tenth line all with the left hand, but for me it's easier to divide it with left and right. Then the obvious *practice slowly with a metronome, first with single hand, and then speed up*. Good luck :)

[@chinesescripter3623]

its a wonder how you were able to play it so well in so short of a time period. do you have any tips for someone trying to learn this from scratch?

[@chinesescripter3623]

@@WikiBidoz also could I ask if you believe it’s better to learn the piece one section at a time, or to sight read the whole piece at once and bring it up to speed as a whole?

[@WikiBidoz]

Oh I'd go for one or a few sections at a time, build up the tempo up to a decent one then practice the full piece, and if you find some sections are harder to get to the right tempo practice them singularly again
