Boku no Sensou (My War) - Attack on Titan: Final Season OP [Piano] / Shinsei Kamattechan

「Boku no Sensou」or 「My war」 is probably the most crazy opening song I have heard in a while and all I could think of was “Anime OP, but presented as a death march”. Because we are now entering the endgame of the epic story of Attack on Titan and it has one prevailing topic: War.
Although the arrangement doesn’t sound that complicated, it is actually one of my most difficult pieces I have uploaded for a long time. The constant polyphony in many parts of this arrangement is probably the main reason why it is so technically challenging to play, because you have to balance the voices well and emphasize certain melodies if it’s needed.
I also started to utilize the “four hand” technique: Basically, each hand is playing two layers of melody at the same time. For example, the intro part in 00:08 has actually 4 instrumental layers: the right hand is playing the C#-C-C#-G# “Bell” sound and the higher “Choir” voice while the left hand is playing the bassline and a fast, rhythmic pattern, imitating the “drums”.
I could hear at least 6 different musical layers in the chorus part in 01:14 and it was hard for me to decide, which melody I should prioritize and which one I can omit. I tried to combine as many layers as possible with my 2 hands (I really, really wish I have 3 hands) to imitate the overwhelming atmosphere of the original song.
Btw, the “bell” ostinato C#-C-C#-G# motif in 00:01 reminds me of “Dies Irae” (Day of Wrath), an ancient hymn usually sung as a part of a Requiem, aka a Mass for the Dead. Which fits in pretty nicely for Attack on Titan, since the Opening animation is displaying nothing but War, destruction and regeneration. (笑)
Speaking of the Opening Animation, I also tried to imitate the Art style by filming this video in monochrome only, except the lighting in the background, which remains colorful. I hope you enjoy those kinds of special video edit every once in a while!
Last but not least: This arrangement also serves as my personal piano etude, because it features many piano techniques which I am actually bad at. For example, the fourth runs in 02:45, the double hand jumps in 01:30, the very uncomfortable left hand pattern in 00:07 and the polyphonic rhythms in 01:37. I was really challenging all my “weak points” this time, because the only way I can improve my piano technique is to leave my comfort zone. I guess I will never learn enough as an pianist.
Alright, thank you for reading so far and also, thank you for watching my videos! Next week, I will arrange another Anime song, which is from a currently airing Anime. But it won’t be as crazy difficult as this one. I hope.
See you next week then!

I have been asked many times why I am not recording on my Steinway Grand Piano anymore. To put it simple, due to various circumstances it has become inaccessible now. I posted about my situation in my UA-cam community page in January this year, please read it if you want to understand my situation!
But I will continue arranging new anime pieces on my new Stage Piano in the meanwhile and hope you still like it! The piano might have changed, but my playing ability has stayed the same and my motivation to create an “Anime Piano library” on UA-cam has never been higher!
Thank you everyone for your understanding!
Will you get it back at some point though?
Why is ur hand so white are u orochimaru
@@Tristan-mv6lc I honestly still don’t know. In the background there is still a lot of things going on. But I try to stay optimistic
@@shongq5610 I think it’s a filter or something like that
I have played the adaptation of "My war" many times since 8pm, and I have read the description in the introduction column carefully. Now that there are full of notes in my head for war drills. I have insomnia 😂 ~ Thank you very much for your hard work!
Although many people love the beautiful sound of Steinway Grand Piano, it is not the hammer and keyboard that really touches our hearts, but the emotion and love of anime that Animenz wants to convey to everyone every time in the music!
No matter what instrument you use to play music now, it will not affect my respect and support for you
The true rumbling is Animenz’s fingers marching down the piano
Dude plz don’t spoil
@@lameesfathi2640 no ones even gonna know what that is unless they read the manga it’s two words “the rumbling” it’s either you get it or you don’t it’s not really a spoiler because if someone didn’t read the manga they wouldn’t even know what it means
You mean, dancing on the piano.
Well I mean, we could say it's a march, you're right.
@@lameesfathi2640 + the rumbling has been mentionned in anime so it's fine
ah yes Anime memes :D
this man is a sadist, masochist, weeb, and god-tier pianist packed all together
Animenz keeps moving forward...
Edit: My god that was impressive! You managed to combine both the main theme as well as the chanting in 2 hands!
Yeah, I grinded SUPER hard to somehow include all voices in the chorus in only 2 hands.
@@Animenzzz
Eventhough i dont know a thing about piano but that looked hard AF
If we get rid of all the deep notes will we finally be free?
@@rizer6418 hard is an understatement
@@nizrael-pianocovers977 Impossible would be a better word
Amazing feeling. Just finished watching Season 4. Can't wait for more.
A ray mak comment without likes or replies. Unbelievable. What has this world come to. Why am I pregnant?
I feel like this comment’s like’s an replies are kinda off, so Imma do my part to fix it
@@KM-ot6vo yaap😭
down the rabbit hole you go XD
Ray there will be a part 2 in 2021 december if im not wrong, or probably more.
Four Hand technique holy. Animenz paid for his four hands, he's gonna use them
Holy crap
How much do four hands cost and where can I find them? I’m asking for a friend... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Congrates, you found a yt commenter
@@s.bpiano hehe
"I paid for my four hands, therefore I'll use ALL my four hands"
Something sounds wrong here 🤣
Not gonna lie, it's always great to hear a "technical" arrangement from you that is reminiscent of your Golden Era of YT activity - it was exactly why many of us were drawn to you in the first place ;)
Every once in a while, I am activating my Unravel-power. But really only once in a while, or else my fingers will break.
@@Animenzzz hahahahahahahahaha :)
@@Animenzzz That's perfectly understandable indeed, the new refined style is the way to go long-term (and still sounds amazing musically), although a treat or flex every now and then is nice ;P
And we know he wasn't even using his 100% on this piece.
@@iSonnyT everything he does is already big flex lol
I'm late but this is one of those arrangements that make me go "I NEED to share my thoughts on specific parts" because once again, I'm floored. Or rather my jaw dropped to the floor about a fourth in and stayed that way till the end
0:08 okay then we're starting out with lightning in the left hand wait FOUR hand technique? ALREADY?
0:14 gliss counter: 1
0:47 I LOVE the prominent beat there
1:00 gliss counter: 2
1:08 love the right hand
1:14 I love literally everything about this part there are so many voices!!!
1:27 gliss counter: 3
1:28 this part with the hand crossing and huge jumps looks ABSURDLY cool it's so flashy I love it
1:34 gliss counter: 4
2:04 gliss counter: 5
2:18 the right hand ahhh I love it
2:31 gliss counter: 6
2:36 YESSSS nothing coherent to say, it looks insanely difficult and sounds insanely good
3:04 lightning in the right hand!!! I love this part to bits
3:17 that left hand run - delicious, also I don't know why crossing hands looks so cool, it's not that hard to do, but still
3:38 love the left hand
3:42 that chromatic part sounds awesome
3:44 gliss counter: 7
3:45 those low octaves sound EPIC fantastic choice
3:58 gliss counter: 8
4:12 gliss counter: 9
4:18 gliss counter: 10
4:19 actual shivers I absolutely LOVE that final part
Rating: 10 gliss out of 10
I loved this one to bits, incredible arrangement and yeah I can definitely see why you would consider this an etude, it looks really challenging! Thank you as always Animenz, I'll be looping this one for a while!
This is my new "imagining playing this in front of people" after Unravel
Might be a new record for the amount of Glissandos I have used for a single piece, haha
Either way, thank you for that detailed breakdown of highlights!

Lmao
You never cease to amaze me! Beautiful arrangement, Animenz!
(silent subscriber and admirer for years)
Honestly, did not expect to see Myuu here 😳
WOAAAAHHH MYUUU
Can we just all appreciate the fact that he always explain his arrangement, and its fascinating
Eren: *using multiple Titans at the same time*
Animenz: *using the "four-hand technique"*
Me: I don't see any difference.
Oh lord, I can already tell this is going to be one crazy arrangement. Listening to Boku no Sensou you cannot picture it becoming a piano arrangement.
Very keen!
Edit: This is now definitely up there as one of my favourites from you!
I'm currently learning your Kuusou Mesorogiwi arrangement and i can't wait to start learning this one!
Kuusou Mesorogiwi is probably my most "classical music" - style arrangements I have ever done, good choice! Boku no Sensou is also heavily influenced by classical music polyphony.
@@Animenzzz Kuusou Mesorogiwi arrangement is one of my favorite. I listen to it on your channel almost every week. Is it possible for you to re-record a new version and upload it in 2021?
@@amberchang4858 Yeah it would be nice
I knew right, when i heard the og song, I can only imagine it being played on 2 pianos. Damn son I was wrong.
This man is literally incapable of moving backwards... So hyped for this arrangement!
2:51 I absolutely love this entire section. Brilliant beat
When she sings I forget her name se sings it to cutely or what I say magnificent it's sounds so nice I feel it's gonna be a peacefull ending of aot
4手奏法にとにかく驚きました!このアレンジメントは壮大で印象的ですね。
2015に東京で行ったコンサートをUA-camビデオで見ました
コロナウィルスが落ち着いたら、また日本でリサイタルやってください
是非、生であなたの演奏を聞きたいです
The four hands technique is amazing!
The arrangement has an impressive tone quality.
I watched the UA-cam video of your concert in 2015 Tokyo
Once the coronavirus situation has calmed down, please hold a concert in Japan again! I'd love to listen to your perform live.
"The difficulty of this arrangement is off the charts again, featuring double hand jumps, double fourth scales and - finally - the four-hand technique."
OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
what is the four hand technique?
@@Johnny-tw5pr It’s making two melodies with both hands. Like in 1:15
This ragtime syncopation (0:35 and 1:38) kills me everytime.
Also amazing 1min bridge, love the left hand in the ethereal ending 3:18
I find quite a lot of elements from your "old school" arrangements here: a lot of references or techniques from the classical repertoire, busy hands, dialogues between lower and higher sections of the keyboard, and crazy difficulty! Even though I love your newer stuff and find the evolution of your arrangements interesting, I hope you'll occasionaly do some arrangements like this one!
Prior to arranging this, I was practicing many classical pieces in the C# minor key like Beethovens moonlight sonata mov 3 or Chopin etude op.10 No.4. It helped me a lot to “get a feeling” of classical music back
@@Animenzzz Those two count as anime soundtracks too!
@@Animenzzz I really wanna see you playing classic music
As impressive as the performance is, I'm more amazed by how well those are arranged. I played several Animenz songs, being hard is one part, but they seems to be infinitely more sophisticated than arrangements of the same songs from other musicians on UA-cam.
Eren: Can't be Racist if there's no Race
Animenz: Can't be a Pianist if there's no Piano *Proceeds to Break every Piano he touches*
I kinda get the joke but...
Technically, it doesn't make much sense cuz. In the case of eren, racism is something undesirable, so saying that racism will be removed when there's no race to be racist about to begin with is an irony and quite the funny joke.
However, being a pianist is much desirable, so it doesn't really fit in the context, although I do understand the direction you're going into XD
You'll have my like regardless hahahhahahaha
@@yj5160 When eren euthanizes everyone before he dies from circumstances I hope he kills everyone that feel the need to explain jokes first
Kinda ironic since the word piano is in the title of the video.
But Killer queen has already touched the piano.....
Dang the beginning is so cool like you added some stuff to it and now it's so magical 2. Chorus was also rly nice with the RH runs and the bridge is where the fun begins haha
Rly nice arrangement I love the different voices you used in every section xDd
The left hand pattern in 0:08 is actually frustratingly difficult, try it for yourself on the piano!
Because usually, these kind of fast patterns have the bass note on the first beat [C#-E-D#-E] [C#-E-D#-E] but I reversed that order to create [E-C#-D#-C#] E-C#-D#-C#]
I was surprised how long it took for me to play this unusual pattern in fast speed without losing focus. Should have practiced more Czerny Etudes...
@@Animenzzz daaamn this is indeed so difficult even at very very low speed I get confused haha
we here witness a legend be created
Pew
He was legendary from the very beginning. We're just passengers viewing his continuing ascention to whole new peaks of awesomeness.
@@m4z805 true
I found your channel yesterday. I've listenend to almost all of your AOT covers so far and loved each one of them. But this one is my favourite not just because Boku No Sensou is my favourite OP,but also because of your splendid arrangement! Thank you so much for this!

It should be
@@franzgino-gino8646 *dont remind me*
Anyone ever just randomly wonder if there is a piano cover of an anime song and get a bit of joy when you not only find one but it is from Animenz
animenz supremacy
I love the color palette selection and clean editing to contrast the eerie monochrome piano and hands with the vibrant bold globe and background lighting. The bold red background really complements the parts in the piece with the highest tension, further intensifying that mood.
Even though at face value the LH patterns feel simpler and perhaps just a tad repetitive (not to take away from the arrangement, just personal stylistic preference), I really liked the attention to detail on the polyphonic sections and how each individual voice stood out cleanly and clearly. The pattern at 2:19 is my favorite out of this arrangement.
I look forward to what you bring us next week!
(sorry for the late comment! it's been a busy week)
There were many alternative left hand patterns for the chorus actually in my earlier arrangement drafts, but I think "Boku no Sensou" was deliberately composed in a way to sound monotone - like a death march. So I kept the "Bumm-tss Bumm-tss" - pulse in the left hand consistently.
And yeah, you are late, haha
Finally he uploaded this arrangement when humanity needed it the most.
2:18 このアレンジ凄すぎる。好きすぎる。
"I was really challenging all my “weak points” this time, because the only way I can improve my piano technique is to leave my comfort zone. I guess I will never learn enough as an pianist."
honestly that words really motivate me 💯
Despite not having knowlegde of music, I like to read the description of each job you do.
Sometimes listening to the music is enough but when it comes to Animenz, listening and seeing is a whole.
Animenz + piano = perfec conjunction.
Greetings from Argentina!
I love how the recording actually resembles the OP with the black & white + colours
This man never disappoints these arrangements are just getting better and better
I wish Shinseki Kamattechan notices this and uploads a video of his reaction!! This arrangement is just mind blowing and Shinsei Kamattechan is so humble and encouraging about the covers
I hope someone will share this vid to his socmed account
I like how he used the filter for the vid to make it look the original video,amazing cover!!
So this is what it looks like to practice 40 hours a day.
LING LINGGG

Playing it is something even an amateur can do with enough commitment, but coming up with this requires real talent, skill and grind,
The original is a beast in itself. You transcended it without betraying it. I got goosebumps and tears im my eyes. Bravissimo.
The Founding Titan of Anime Piano who used his power to change our bodies and make us all want to play piano like him. SHINZOUU WO SASAGEYOOOOO!! ✊❤
I love how your covers aways have so much going on and that you'll add your own flair and make it 10x better :)
Not like there’s a competition or anything but I listened to Fonzi Ms cover of my war and I really liked it at first and then listened to this and now I prefer this. I listen to this A LOT and LOVE IT
This cover motivated me to proceed playing piano after 3 year break, thx, it's awesome!
Every time Animenz touched the piano, he always see the future. That's why he knew what to do next.
Yes, another difficult Animenz piece to look forward to! I really enjoy watching your crazy techniques :) Makes me even more excited for pieces like Hey Kids and Kawaki wo Ameku!
待ってました!!
弾いてほしいなーと思っていたら、、!!!嬉しい
アニメンズさんのピアノアレンジは電子ピアノだと物足りなさというか響きの良さとか余韻?が半減してしまっているような気がして、贅沢にグランドピアノで聞きたいと思ってしまいます
素敵な演奏をただで聞かせてもらっているのに、、いけませんね
素敵な演奏ありがとうございます!
This technique is so well-honed. I just admire how far away from many other UA-camrs' ones it is. Animenz, you are truly a legend!
This is seriously insane! I've never heard the four handed technique before and now I'm totally in love with it. You absolutely have been motivating me to keep challenging myself with the piano, thanks man!
The best
Oh boy it's finally here you can't imagine how I was waiting for it haha I try to be there if I can
four hand technique bro
here is a annoying notification
@@ramencat6542 pog you
After a week i keep replaying the My War part on his latest stream
NOW IT'S THE REAL VERSION WOOOAHHH!!!!!!
Same, I must've listened to it at least 50 times by now. I cant imagine the official arrangement be better than what he played then.
perfection
now we only need a full akatsuki no requiem cover and our lifes will be fulfilled
agreed
I got goosebump at 3:46. Is anyone like me ???
Me too wtf
IT'S JUST INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL
Omg I got goosebumps from all the complex melodies interweaving, excellent!!
How you play the different rhythms so perfectly at once, I don't think I'll ever know.
It’s clear that u really enjoy playing this piece!!! I like it when u bounce ur fingers , personally especially at 00:15 xD The bass in left hand part are so powerful!And the DCBflatA parts are so fierce too (in a good way)
Also the gray tone effect really suits this video!! Anticipating for more effects in future!
Lastly I have to say, 这首A叔真的太帅了!!!!
The incredible technique and the colors give this video a sense of mysticism that cannot be described.
Finally, the God of animepiano will show his true form!
This really was an amazing cover! Those 4th's in the right hand at 2:45 were really cool, but they looked really hard.
Dang dude when you say you hit your weak points hard you damn smashed them here. Technically one of the best from you, such a grand arrangment. Love the edit as well, keep it up!
That was freaking AMAZING oh my god....
Woah, just how the hell did you manage to arrange and play it like this!?
This is the perfect combination between epic and virtuosic!
Practice 40 hours a day, trust me.
@@fuyunatsu *twoset is everywhere*
Literal chills man by far one of your best arrangements, can't wait for the 5 hand technique soon
My man just pulled the best cover of this song (with fonzy ofc) I was sooooo hyped and I didnt get disappointed
Wow. I first came to your channel because you played Guren no Yumiya but now 7 years later I get to see you play Boku no Sensou. Amazing.
The jumps-
I-
This definitely proves how talented Animenz is-
(Love the arrangement😊😊)
I love it so muuuch!!! I've been following this channel for about 6 years and I'm never disappointed. Please keep up the good work, I really love and appreciate it!
Really appreciating the section in the description that explains what happens.. cause i'm a noob myself, yet I really desire knowing what takes this masterpiece of play to the next level! Can't wait for what comes next, AnimenZ :)
Your breakdown of what makes this so insane in the description is awesome. More of all of this;
Anyone notice that Animenz broke the record of glissando among his cover?
The most glissando before was "Don't say lazy" (K-on Ending) which has 8 times of glissando.
This piece has 11 times of glissando (hopefully I count it right). OMG!
"Btw, the “bell” ostinato C#-C-C#-G# motif in 00:01 reminds me of “Dies Irae” (Day of Wrath), an ancient hymn usually sung as a part of a Requiem, aka a Mass for the Dead. Which fits in pretty nicely for Attack on Titan, since the Opening animation is displaying nothing but War, destruction and regeneration. (笑)" from this video description it's really awesome from animenz to point this out!!
Absolutely stunning. Four hands indeed, if 4 people, aka 8 hands, would play this I'd still be pretty impressed, I couldn't believe it's one 2 hands several times and watched the parts over and over.
*talented,brilliant,incredible,amazing,showstopping,spectacular,never-the-same,totally unique,completely-not-ever-been-done-before*
ooohhhhh i was really hoping you would cover this 😭🙏🏼 bless you and your magic hands
Can't wait for him to do The Rumbling once the full version comes out, because it's definitely interesting as always!
Good job with Ashes On The Fire, that was cool and lit! 🔥
Another masterpiece!!! Thank you SOOO MUCH for the amazing cover! No one can do it better than you, thank you for all the efforts you put in!
your so talented and the old / new piano you use to own and now own again would be awesome to redo all these songs u did on this one
Most piano versions of my war lack emotion and passion specifically, yours is the best I've heard! First video I've watched too, i cant wait to hear more from you :)
the way your hands move is hypnotizing, and it sounds amazing
Any piano you play yo are the best. Is a joy heard your music
Yup, another amazing addition to my playlist!
The ending is amazing
insane arrangement, the polyphony just hits different . WELL DONE
I listened to the original song so many times this past week. Now it's going to be replaced by your version.
I particularly like how the "ras-ti-ti-ti-ras" parts sound like machine guns in the piano. Adds so much to the war theme.
Welcome back!! Also gg for having these many likes even before the relase
I absolutely love the lighting.
Direct replica of the original song, lost of words, simply amazing!
The wait is worth it. I always skip anime OP until I listen to a piano cover. This way I can focus on the piece without "hearing lyrics" as it sometimes hinder my judgement of how beautiful a song on it's piano version.
My favorite arrangement so far!! you never disappoint as usual.
Animenz please do “Shock” (the ED of final season)🙏🏻 it gives us goosebumps every time. Can’t wait to hear your legendary arrangement on this emotional piece n i’ll be re-looping for like 25 hrs😭
Animenz's descriptions are the only ones that i read at every video
*heart attack Intensifies*
This is so beautiful. So much that it gives me the exact amount of anxiety the original does 👏👏 Keep it up!! 💗
Love the light being the explosions
The best piano cover of 'my war'!
YESSSS I WAS WAITING FOR THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
I´m listening to this thinking man Animenz really went out on this again. Then I´m reading the description saying those are you targeted your WEAKPOINTS. Hats off. Cause I sure as hell didn´t notice. I am not really someone who ever got really good at playing piano, but not bad enough to have no clue of whats going on. Absolute legend. I probably listened to single Animenz covers for quite literally days. And right now I´m thinking about going on a everlasting GC loop again :)
I love how the aesthetics match the opening wow
Perfect! I was waiting a lot for this video. Thank you Animenz love u so much. Noko needs to see and react to this cover too!!!
好喜歡🥰真的超好聽捏❤️❤️❤️~好迷人🥰🥰🥰
This cover reminds me of your older covers a lot. Great refresh :)
Fantastic birthday present
I love the improvising. Animenz is and will always be legend.
