First thought when I really love a piece of media: I have to arrange the music. The highest form of that, for me, is to make a medley.
Why record 10 separate videos when I can simply play them all in a row, right?
I knew HI3 had great music because I watched some of the animated shorts from it before, and I loved Moon Halo ever since it released. But the final push to actually try the game for me was when the Da Capo graduation short was released, and I decided I'd very likely enjoy the story because I loved the bittersweet feeling it gave me, even without having much context for it.
I got...pretty consumed at some point. I didn't expect to get that invested, and if I started talking about it here, I wouldn't stop. Bottom line is, I loved it a lot. It's pretty clear that the creators really care about the story and characters, and it shows.
In my mind, there are three more or less cohesive parts to this "medley," though even calling it that should probably be taken with a grain of salt, considering how much time I give between some of the pieces, completely separating them at times. It's mostly because I didn't want to cut anything too short, so all the songs are given their time. The first part would end on Starfall, and the second on TruE. The third is just Da Capo, serving as the ending.
Huge thanks to @ccmusicc for transcribing literally all the songs and giving me a wonderful sheet music base to play on. Sometimes I changed a lot, sometimes I stuck to the sheets, but it definitely made things so much easier for me.
Personal awards list and thoughts:
Most difficult - Dual Ego
Favorite to listen to - Moon Halo
Most troublesome to record - Moon Halo (because I couldn't decide on how to play it up until the very end; I'd been improvising on it for months even before I started working on the medley, which, turns out, was terrible for actually recording it) and Nightglow close second
Most pleasant to record - Starfall, Rubia close second
Favorite to play - Dual Ego, NO CONTEST, I absolutely love playing it and I've practiced it the most by far out of all the songs
Recording notes:
Would I be able to record this whole thing in one continuous take? Theoretically, yes. In practice? No. This video was recorded in one sitting (two if you count me getting up to reset the camera) but I picked and chose the better takes from a two-hour recording session. It's summer, I can't run the AC while recording, my fingers were sticking to the keys and like 3/4 of the medley is so, SO loud. So I decided I'd simply glue parts together in hopes it'll end up sounding nice. I think it turned out pretty smooth in terms of sound despite some stumbles here and there, but those are pretty unavoidable with something this long, even with split takes. Hope it's enjoyable nonetheless!
See you next time!

Its was never about meta or collecting waifus, it was investing into an art that really mattered to me. You get a 10x pull for this amazing medley ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Nightglow never falls to make me cry.
As someone who loves honkai to a point of having 3 tattoos (one of them being moon halo lyrics) this is my favorite video ever, the essence that you've capture on this, is amazing, moon halo was my favorite of those, and da capo absolutely made me cry
This is who I'm striving to become
This is beautiful !
I am always happy when people get to discover Hi3 story, characters and music. You've absolutely done justice to the songs and the emotions they convey to the point that I found myselft almost crying by the end once again haha
Really happy to hear that :) Thank you!
I used to be a long time piano player and i stopped a while back coz life but i have to say seeing this has motivated me to pick up piano again and i just wanted to say thank you, its absolutely amazing
I was about to go to bed, but I couldn't forgive myself not to listen 😅. It is amazing what you create on this instrument. Good night
Thank you! I really appreciate it ❤️ Sleep well ^^

Glad you enjoyed the story!
Thank you! your arrangements are a blessing added to my day. I'm glad I checked your channel today I was waiting for you to cover more Honkai content
AAAA this is so good! I had a feeling after Regression there was gonna be more but I didn't expect this. Thanks a lot for this beautiful medley 😊
I was listening to this while slowly but steadily dozing off, but your performance always remained very clearly in the foreground. A truly splendid medley with an interpretation and careful playing that never ceases to amaze!
these are all amazing, honkai music never fails to get me in my feels
This is phenomenal
Omg you made me cry with Rubia… Such a beautiful song, and very well played!😍 Thank you for this lovely medley!

This is gorgeous! I haven’t even heard this music very much but your playing is fantastic and highly expressive as always 💜
Houseki medley when??? 😅
Thank you Moonlapse! Houseki’s next in terms of medleys, that’s for sure 😂
I hadn't seen that you released a new video, it's beautiful as always ♡🥹. Although I had never listened to the complete soundtrack of honkai, it's wonderful to hear it for the first time from you. ♡ Thanks Caliko ♡♡♡
Hi Caliko, welcome back from your vacation :). Not quite done listening, but the first track is already drawing me in. Thank you !
Nice work!
Beautiful sound.
I've been listening to your performances for some time (sometimes with my son, we both play). After this recording, I turned on the notification bell.
Thank you
Don't stop 😉
Caliko, I am so happy every time you upload. Your interpretation of all the music is just lovely. I started here with Revue Starlight and have been along for the ride ever since. I don't always know the music you're playing, but it's always a treat to listen to your playing.
Wow, Revue was years ago! Thank you for sticking around!
Hi, your playing is beautiful. I came from your Studio Ghibli renditions and they've inspired me to pick up piano again. Never stop; your performances are wonderful!
Thank you!
this is a very great performance
I was listening to this and it just seemed that it finished all of a sudden and then I realised that I had listened to the whole 20 minutes. So I reloaded the page and watched it all again. Your playing is superb Caliko. Starfall is magical, so is Lyin. I love how you can get that piano to sing, just beautiful.
Please keep sharing your talent with the world. If you ever come to the UK to do a tour, I'd love to hear you play in person.
As always, much love from Yorkshire.
Thank you so much, as always!
Oh the memories going back ❤ good old times😢
awesome
For the Algorithm!!!!
Thank you always for your music!!
Thank you!!
Moon Halo was the best. I really loved this medly.
when i started listening it seemed to me that you have at least three hundred thousand subscribers... i was surprised at such a small number, but now can brag that i'm (almost) one of the first!! and keep my fingers crossed that in a couple of months you will overcome the mark of one hundred thousand, such zeal and perseverance should not disappear
Thank you UA-cam for recommending this to me
Nice
Well, I know what to listen to, tomorrow at work :D
I can't decide if my favorite one is Dual Ego or Da Capo. But this medley is awesome !
Keep it up
aseeek baguss, gua suka main HI3, termasuk dengerin lagu nya, suka bengett
Would not recommend watching at work 😂 people were wondering why I was tearing up by my lonesome 😂😂 other than that, it is magnificent!!! Glad to know you liked the game! May all the beauty be blessed!
Thank you!! May all the beauty be blessed 🥹
Wow..
Also would ever be able to do a tower of fantasy medley as well
❤
Ooh thank you so much Ive been waiting for this, hoyoverse games musics are so good right? and u managed to play these vocal songs on piano so beautifully, Im planning on learning Regression soon thanks to the piano sheet u gave !! these days im so obsessed with HI3rd's story😭 I'm currently playing through the chapter 31, I believe ur playing HI3rd as well? which story chapter did u reach ?
I got to chapter 24 so far! Really looking forward to the following arcs, the story is so good...
Still cant make my mind up which medley is better made in abyss or honkai impact great job caliko
noice
i like you
Hey @Caliko, you did absolutely amazingly! Stunning playing! I almost cried listening to this, even though I've never played HI3 but HI3 songs have always touched me. And your playing is simply unmatched 😍
May I ask if you have the score sheet for this? i'll be glad to pay for it if needed :) it's really amazing!!
I don't have it yet! If I do manage to write it all down, I'll share it on my musescore!
@@Caliko Ohhh sure! That'll be awesome if you do! Looking forward to it! Would you be looking to release in parts (maybe 1-2 songs at a time, so maybe it's easier to transcribe?) ngl you did such a phenomenal job i'd be willing be buy/donate for each score xD
Thats why ccmusic hasnt had anything on his channel
Beautiful medley! I was hoping that after Regression you'd make more Honkai covers. Are you thinking about releasing the sheet music for this any time soon?
I’m definitely thinking about it, but I’d have to write down the whole thing from scratch which, considering how long this video is, will probably take a while! I’m using CC music’s sheets here and improvise on top if them
and people still dare say hi3 is too old
Which model/year is it of this Steinway piano? sounds gorgeous!
Never realized that honkai impact had better pieces than genshin impact will you ever be doing a honkai star rail medley in the future hope sheets are out for this soon
Will you be uploading this on musescore as well
I've been meaning to ask, but did you ever watch Your Lie In April?
Is the Nightglow part from musescore too?
:'D
🙃
Thank you!
o
Beautiful music 😊
The piano sounds gooorgeous, @XiaoTongPiano should buy the same haha
