「魂のルフラン」を初めて聴いたのはバンドリだったことを認めなければならないね。この曲はすぐに好きになったし、実は日本では「残酷な天使のテーゼ」とまではいかなくても人気のカラオケ曲だと後から知りました。 本当に美しい曲なのに何で今まで知らなかったんだろう。最近はずっとリピートしているよ (´・ω・｀) I have to admit, I also heard Tamashii no Refrain for the first time, when I was playing BanG Dream. But the song really grew on me quickly and I discovered later on, it's actually one of the most popular Karaoke songs in Japan, among Cruel Angel Thesis. It is a really beautiful song though, so I was wondering how I have missed out that song for such a long time. Nowadays I listen to it on repeat (´・ω・｀)
A little simpler of an arrangement this week, yet just as pleasing to listen to as always. The simplicity of the technique actually allowed me to focus on and enjoy the harmonics a little more than usual, as reflected in my comments below. The way the high notes hang at 0:38 really create a heightened sense of tension before transitioning into the regular tempo opening passage. Kinda feels like the trumpets that blow as a bull is about to make its charge towards a matador (bullfighter). What a great entrance. I really enjoy the sound and execution of the B7 A#dim7 D#7 chord progression that occurs at 0:23, 2:07, 3:39, 4:13, especially the way the B7 provides a sense of ease, followed by a tension created by the diminished A# that is then again released when the chord figuratively and literally "sinks" down (in particular, the G# -> G) into the D# chord. The 4:13 iteration is arpeggiated instead which replaces the tension/release style with a nice alternative abrupt transition into the D#7. The high register passage at 2:39 really helps to release the "heaviness" of the previous passage as it transitions into the following lighter section. Well executed. The third hand melody at 4:01. I don't usually comment on the third hand melody because it usually shows up in every arrangement, but this one stood out a little more than usual. Perhaps it's the melody being in a higher octave than my brain is accustomed to hearing that makes it sparkle a little more. Caught me as a nice stylistic choice. The attention to detail on phrasing and touch is really what gives your arrangements that extra "wow" factor for me. There are always little surprises that make your arrangements really enjoyable. Thank you as always for sharing, and well done!
@Zengarang I agree with the simplicity of the musical arrangement and yet the high notes feels sublime... @Animenz as a comment the tempo in 1:24 - 1:28 feels out of sync, of course this could be a mis concepcion but is quite understable since the arrangement need a pause or a best way of transition in this part, the same goes for 1:02 to 1:07. Anyway, i like it so much! keep working hard
Whole-heartedly agree. A lot of Animenz's work has that effect; where even if you know the tune and it has a familiar sense, there's still surprises to keep it exciting and on your feet to listen more and in a detailed way. Only a small percentage of music I listen to has this effect so I think it really does speak to how awesome his arrangements are.
@@015_rik I use google translation *__*. And yes, his parents are Chinese but moved to Germany long before he was born. BTW. I'm also one of Marasy's followers that's why I am familiar to use google translation to understand the comments ;)
I'm rewatching Eva for the first time since i think middle school...10 years later the show means something totally different than it did to me as a child. Beautiful job Animenz, you continue to bring me joy, inspiration and also haunting nostalgia with your piano arrangements. Thank you.
This song is just a masterpiece... It still moves me no matter how many times I hear it. Thanks so much for your rendition of it! Much appreciated! 🙏❤️✨
Thank you for showing us this beautiful composition. I mean the Soundtrack of neon Evangelion Genesis is pretty hype and understimaded like this song too. Your arrangement did the song justice, very cool. Bravo👏
Wow even listening to the original, I absolutely loved what you've done in this piano translation of the song! Hearing this encourages me more to practice harder! Thank you Animenz for your music.

First A Cruel Angel's Thesis and now Tamashi no Rufuran, I feel spoiled right now. Thanks so much for the amazing nostalgia trip with your amazing arrangements and playing :D
ずっとAnimenzのファンでしたので、まさかのEVAが！もうこれ以上嬉しいことはありません！ This is my absolute favourite besides A Cruel Angel's Thesis From Neon Genesis Evangelion, thank you so much for arranging this one! It's beyond what I could of imagine. It perfectly captures the original song's motives and I can hear the choir in my head with your keys. \ o /
OHHH boi love this song sooo much, ngl mainly from roselia lololol i love their take on this song soo much and i can see some more elements from roselia ver on this arrangement and im so glad you did it !! the little breaks between the lines, the different rythm in the chorus, its just like the roselia ver and thats what i was hoping for !! amazing that you can pull every week a amazing, creative and interesting arrangement out! love every single one. 2:53 the arpeggios down is one of my fav parts and then when the bass comes in this sounds so freaking good! cant wait for the next one !
At the beginning of the theme song of the first Evangelion movie "Death & Rebirth", which was played with the piano by Animenz, the main melody gave me a strong feeling of unusual heavy atmosphere. In the meanwhile, I could not stand but was deeply touched by the song deriving from the musical scenery arranged by Animenz. I still wonder why Animenz could play the song with such a soul-touching feeling. Maybe there were somethings in Japan or on the websites that deeply touched his intrinsic emotions in the recent days!
The you that was embraced by fate Blooms in season like an ephemeral flower Leaving behind the scent of hope on your chest Scattering hurriedly in splendid form
You know, given that you have Shizuo as your pfp, I assume that you're a fan of Durarara. As such, do you have any plans to cover more music from it? Also, I've never heard this song before, but I loved your playing of it.
Toll, auf das Intro habe ich gewartet! @Animenz wie sieht's aus mit den Openings von Monogatari? Also z.B. Mousou Express, Renai Circulation, Marshmallow Justice, Platinum Disco, Perfect Slumbers oder das 4. OST Stück von Hanamonogatari? Oder das Opening von Relife? Jedenfalls tolle Stücke, die du spielst! :-)
Have you considered doing songs from video game series more often? Theres quite a few pieces from the Fire Emblem series I would like to see, like "Don't Say Her Name".
Taking a moment of appreciation that you are uploading quality every consistent weekly. Bless you. Don't let perfection get into your head Animenz, your arrangements are always wonderful to listen to! ( ╹▽╹ )
Yeah, I think sometimes he pressured himself too much from perfectionism. However, I believed we and all his subscribers enjoyed whenever he arranged the new song ^__^ Animenz's standard is perfect for us.

I heard it a lot in vtuber karaoke. was surprised to find out it came from NGE.
Mr Animenz one request why don’t you play Akame ga kill! OP2 “Liar mask” it sounds nice in piano
Hey Animenz, I have a genuine question: I can never see sheet music in your performances, do you learn all your songs by hard?
@@matthiask1576 I think he's a perfect pitch and able to play by ear as well, in the mean time, he does improvisation as well 🤣a very talented man! 😎
Just found many recent covers BanG Dream reference 😎

歌詞( 自分用 )
私に還りなさい 記憶をたどり
優しさと夢の水源へ
もいちど星にひかれ 生まれるために
魂のルフラン
蒼い影につつまれた素肌が
時のなかで 静かにふるえてる
命の行方を問いかけるように
指先は私をもとめる
抱きしめてた運命のあなたは
季節に咲く まるではかない花
希望のにおいを胸に残して
散り急ぐ あざやかな姿で
※私に還りなさい 生まれる前に
あなたが過ごした大地へと
この腕に還りなさいめぐり逢うため
奇跡は起るよ何度でも
魂のルフラン※
祈るように まぶた閉じたときに
世界はただ闇の底に消える
それでも鼓動はまた動きだす
限りある永遠を捜して
私に還りなさい 記憶をたどり
優しさと夢の水源へ
あなたも還りなさい 愛しあうため
心も体もくりかえす
魂のルフラン
(※繰り返し)
Now we need "Fly me to the moon"
Beautiful world~
I'd actually suggest against it as it is one of the most covered songs in history.
More like 'Komm, süßer Tod'
@@flumphflumph6021 Yeah some people don't realize that the original song isn't only from eva
What about voyager?
日本のアニメの曲なのに、コメント見たら日本人が一人もいない！
アニメンズさんが出す音、好きです。
投稿ありがとうございます。
He is a Chinese
He's not that famous in Japan. May be due to language barrier ^__^. BTW, He's a German-born Chinese.
英語の返信が来ていてビックリです。アニメンズさんは、ドイツ生まれの中国人って事ですか？コメントしてないだけで日本人のファンたくさんいそうな気がしてます。

Congratulations for touching my feels. For real though, this is amazing~~~

Ever since this crisis has started, you've uploaded much more frequently giving me something to look forward to every week!
Thank you Animenz!!!
omg how
2:24 LOVE the arrangement of this BRIDGE!! It's SO AWESOME!!!
This song is just a masterpiece... It still moves me no matter how many times I hear it. Thanks so much for your rendition of it! Much appreciated! 🙏❤️✨
Okay this is absolutely insane. It's like a storm of emotions... It's an absolute insanity of a cover!

0:38 lol I thought he gonna whip out Bach
What song is that sounding like?
@@graydeanj fugue in d minor. You'll know it when you hear it

We need Fly Me to the Moon, Komm Susser Tod, and Tsubasa wo Kudasai next! This was awesome and I'd love to see your rendition of those songs!
Tsubasa wo Kudasai would just melt my heart. Pls arrange it!
I enjoy reading the descriptions every time. It's clear he has put in some quality work for all his arrangements. Great job!
Just when I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion you upload the theme songs. Perfect timing.

Scattering hurriedly in splendid form
Congrats dude, it amazing how you play the piano
MARVELOUS!!!
Well done, bro. Awesome work!
AWE!! I LOVE THIS SONG FROM THE OST!
This is beautiful
Wonderful! The way you play this song is great, might like it just as much as the original.
This thought comes recently into my mind, but it would be very sad when animenz finally quit youtube and stop uploading in the future
Even tho the anime is dark and is a depression generator
I still love the ost
LOVE the arrangement! 👏
this is so beautiful. thank you.
So freaking beautiful, I was wondering if you could do a cover of Grief and Sorrow(Third Hokages Funeral)? I would really love to hear it, thanks!

Beautiful as always:)
Soul's Refrain is actually Asuka's tsundere.

I’m not sure if you do themes from in the shows or just the openings, but definitely you should do Rei I from NGE or Trisha’s Lullaby from FMAB
This really reached my tamashii
