• [Sheet Music] Project:...
Today, I would like to present to you the BIGGEST collaboration in the history of the anime piano community: Animenz Piano Medley, performed by a total of 38 anime pianists!
This project was created when we heard the news of Animenz’s struggle with his lawsuit; many people in this community wanted to do something to share their love and appreciation to Animenz - the idol and inspiration to many of us. Thus, the "Project : Animenz" collaboration was created.
This project took 3 months to finish, with more than 40 anime pianists assigned into 4 different teams, led by moderators (the project leaders who brainstorm and make the decisions).
The "Management" - the one who brainstorms the whole process and gives directions.
The "Arrangers” - the ones who arranged the whole medley.
The "Pianists” - the performers who practiced and recorded for the video.
The "Mixers" - the ones who mixed the final audio, and
The "Audio-Visual" team - the ones who crafted everything into the beautiful video you see before your eyes.
The song in this medley were selected from the pieces which we thought to best represent the Animenz journey, from his first ever arrangement of Hikari no Senritsu to the final grandiose ending of My Dearest - the most iconic song that Animenz has arranged, with 38 pianists participating at once. We also created an epilogue with messages from every participant and every anime pianist we could reach, with the soundtrack being “Yokogao,” from Aria Origination - one of Animenz’s favorite anime of all time.
This project could not have succeeded without the help of everyone in this video; this has been one of the biggest collaborations I have ever had the pleasure to work on! I couldn't be more grateful for the many individuals who supported me along the way; I could not have led this project alone.
I want to give special thanks to fall for being one of the best secretaries I could have ever asked for; her ability to solidify all of our brainstorming sessions into clearly defined documents is invaluable. To Wisnu, the head of the arranging team: not only did you arrange this gigantic medley with us, but you also took the time to engrave the entire sheet, along with making click tracks for pianists to practice, AND overlooking everyone’s progress on practicing for the video. A big thank you to the wonderful mixer team who mixed the insane multi-audio tracks (and especially to Captain Chu for being an MVP; he worked on more than 80 percent of the whole audio track alone!), and the entire video editing team for creating such a wonderful cinematographic experience (special thanks to Kid Kat for creating a wonderful epilogue section!). Not only did this become a gift for Animenz, but it ended up becoming a milestone - the biggest achievement we have done as a community. I couldn't be more grateful and proud!
Thank you to everyone that participated in this project, and thank you to everyone for watching the fruits of our labor! and most importantly, thank you so much to Animenz for being the community pillar role model for everyone of us, for being an inspiration for many people to pick up this instrument again! May The Anime Piano Community keeps growing more and more!

Thank you ❤️
The end of months of work, all culminating into 22 minutes and 49 seconds of peak content seems unreal. To each and every single one of you in Project : Animenz; it's been a true pleasure to have worked on this historical event as a community.
I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. Animenz, thank you for being the lodestar to our sailing ship: ever exploring, ever inspiring, ever guiding. We love you. 💗
:D
This gave me hope for humanity.
This is an awesome medley, and I was glad to see that you were a part of it!
Animenz is like the Main character on his own "anime piano anime" and this video confirms it
I would watch it
Not only would I watch it I'd want to develop characters and core plot. Like. I'd really like this concept to immortalize the man
I mean in my opinion hes the GOAT of the anime piano cover community.
thank you everyone for all your hardwork, this was a huge project and im proud and happy to be a part of it! i will replay this vid everyday before i fall asleep i just love it soo much, so much work went into this and the result is amazing, i cant thank you guys enough for doing this
It has been a huge honor to be involved in this project, let alone being appointed as the head arranger of this project. Kudos to CSM, Sakura, and Nayu for arranging the whole medley with me. I'm really proud of you guys all 38 pianists that has practiced and played a big part in this medley. Huge thank you to the management team for organizing this whole project. And the mixer and video editor, you just elevated this whole project to a new level with your mixing and editting. It has been the most exciting 2 - 3 months i've ever experienced. Looking forward to do new projects with you guys. Also, WE LOVE YOU ANIMENZ.
Wisnu sama arigatouuuuuuuuuuuuu~
This is the most epic collab in existence!!! I can't even describe how I feel right now! The AniPiano community is amazing and I'm so happy to be a part of this!!! ;-;
The chat has just like a 5 min delay^^'
Also this wasn't even the final edited version, that one didn't render in time, hope nobody notices the small "mistakes" but regardless big props to KidKat for working his butt of with editing this till the very last minute!
It has been an honor for me to participate in this project, great job everyone! Thanks for Animenz to make this possible, the community might be nothing without you
You da real MVP Kid!!!! Sorry for bombarding you with all our last min edits 🙏😅
Gila keren asli
Thank you Animenz for everything.
My personal piano journey only started because of your wonderful arrangements. I think that many many others can relate to this and you will definitely inspire an unimaginable number of pianists to do the same.
Hoping you the best! I will follow you wherever you go and improve myself in hopes of reaching your level someday.
Thank you to the project organizers, many arrangers, pianists, mixers and video editors. This was fucking legendary
I can't believe I missed this, amazing effort guys!
Animenz will always remain the number 1 pianist in my heart.
That "My Dearest" part should be illegal from how good it is
How did I not know anything about this collaboration?!? This is the most epic piano collab I've ever seen in my life. Seeing Animenz and all the fellow anime pianist here is just awesome. I'm so proud of your work, this is the best comminity ever >.
*cries in happy*
Thank you for welcoming me into this incredible project. Anime piano means so much to me, not just as a way to heal me as a broken classical pianist but also as a way for me to recover from my postnatal depression. I love each and every of you in this project. And last of all, I love you, Animenz for reminding me what music is truly all about. Bringing people together and inspiring each other to be bigger and better than before. Thank you again for letting me be a small part of this epicness.
Love from Cindy, my bebe Feena and Pixel the cat.
You can’t help but read the comments while watching this.
I just keep scrolling, and different people come up on screen - different pieces start playing. The flawless transitions, the artistry, and the love from the pianists - it all comes together so well.
It’s hard not to feel the gratitude from ever second of this. So many people have been impacted by Animenz.
It’s hard not to feel the love while reading these comments. I feel like no one dreaded a second of practice, of work, of planning that this required. No one thought to themselves - should I be doing this? Should I be working on something else?
And why would they? This is more than a collaboration. This is a culmination of 11 years that music has brought us together. 11 years holds more than a decades worth of emotion. More than a decades worth of thoughts and actions. More than a decades worth of stories and ideas. More than a decades worth of life.
This collaboration is the culmination of all of that.
I think that that itself is a masterpiece.
Nah, I definitely was thinking "should I be doing this?"
Especially with the mixing, cause I feel I'd just make it sound bad, and it would have been better were it not me who mixed this. Cause animenz deserve the best.

Animenz,
You are the OG, the GOAT, the pogchamp of pogchamps...
But most importantly, you're a musician whose music has touched and spoken to thousands upon thousands, if not millions, of people in a way that transcends words and language. Thank you for all that you do.
And of course, big ups to everyone involved in this project. This was freaking EPIC.
It has been the single greatest honour of my life to be part of this amazing project.
Thank you to CSM for this phenomenal project.
Thank you, Wisnu, for choosing me to be part of the Arranger team. Words cannot express how grateful I am to be able to contribute something to this project!
Thank you, to the rest of the arranger team for the crack sessions and ideas.
Thank you, to the mixers, editors, for their incredible work piecing all the pianists together.
Thank you, pianists, for performing my work so beautifully, and playing so superbly throughout!
This project is the culmination of what I envision anipianists to be, and it became a reality. I’m sincerely happy to be a part of this journey.
Thank you, and let’s play again together next time (hopefully)

Im so touched and grateful that Im part of the project. Thank you to the management team, arrangers, and AV team for doing such an amazing job! We love you Animenz!!!
(taken from a post I made on my social media account)
There was a lot I was itching to write, on the way the previous year began and ended, the ups and downs, of Christian camp, and of the upcoming semester and aspirations, but there was so much to cover that I got stuck somehow.
Though there was a lot that happened, it was watching “To Animenz - 11th year Animenz anniversary celebration” and playing along midway that caused my most emotional tear. Listening to the songs of the medley, all too familiar from thousands of replays of Animenz's videos, I remembered the reason I am currently learning the piano in spite of my studies, other aspirations and serving in the ministry. It was when I saw the cover of Only My Railgun way back that I was introduced to anime and to anime music and to the wonder of Animenz and Theishter arrangements. It was then I began playing covers of anime music by ear on the violin, but the lack of harmony just wasn't enough; I really wanted to play it all one day, on the piano. It took me many years to finally begin learning the piano, but I've finally started, and though I do not see this as a viable career path and I'm midway through my studies, I don't want this to end unless I think to myself “this is enough”. I don't ever think this day would come.
As I began listening, I realised I could not just watch. It was too overwhelming a bittersweet nostalgia journey, from Railgun to Unravel and onwards into anime, seeing the growth and unbelievable playing of my favourite pianist, how he faced hardship and more than once thought of quitting, only to push forward, finding healing in his original compositions, especially City of the Night, and the inspiring images that come along them... To weep for his challenges, to find intense happiness when his emotional Zoku Oregairu and energetic Usagi desu ka EDs dropped right before I flew, to wait for his year-long departure only to come back stronger... To in bitterness cry upon realising the brief death of Animenz, only to receive the utter joy of his return... Amidst all these memories, I instinctively took out my violin and started playing as tears began welling up in my eyes.
To Animenzzz, thank you.
How did I oversleep and miss most of the premiere ffs. Edit: Forgot to say, LOVE YOU ANIMENZ :*
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We never made a mistake choosing anime over others
I'm not sorry for Major key Unravel and Baka Halation
Big ups to the other arrangers for putting up with me
Thanks for the holy blessing
Tbh I love the parts LMAO
Baka halation xD
I never knew I needed a major Unravel and a Baka Halation, thank you xd
Almost sounded like some kind Christmas remix of unravel. Idk why I think this tho.
Shoutout to everyone who participated in this project! You wrote history!
Thanks to everyone who worked their ass off to refine everything!
A bright future awaits us all.
I'm honestly at a loss of words, I don't know where to start! I could use every adjective in the dictionnary and I still wouldn't be able to describe how amazing this work is! this is literally the perfect collaboration
Can I just say, this is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen on Yt. Everyone in the video did phenomenal! You all should feel so proud right now. Just like Animenz you all serve as inspiration to beginner pianist such as myself. Much love to you all, and I wish all of you more years of lovely content creation, and music to your viewers and your own ears.❤
#Starting2021WithABang!💥
14:15 gave me literal chills holy
@CSMPiano You should upload this to the SAT community on FB. The amount of sheer effort and determination from everyone on the project deserves to be broadcasted to other fellow anime/Animenz lovers on other social media platforms to reach the deepest corners of the world. I'm sure there are people outside of UA-cam who once they listen to this will be grateful and hop on the journey of the ever growing Anime Piano Community. Just my two cents.
Words can’t express how I feel right now. I never would have enjoyed anime piano if it wasn’t for you, Animenz, and everyone else in this anipiano community. Thank you all for everything you have done for me.
This is an amazing project, and I hope Animenz will realize that, even with his UA-cam channel and intellectual properties basically stollen from him, the legacy of his arrangements still is a real thing. Good job everyone, that was very impressive!
Animenz actually got his intellectual property back, check out his latest community post on youtube :D
@@maDwaZz omg yes just saw that, fantastic!
god I fcking cried reading the epilogue
Long live the king. And thanks all of you for the great work! It just feels so sweet watching this beautiful friendship and unison among the anipianists.
As for myself, Animenz was my hero and my inspiration as well even though i don't play piano. The first time I learnt about Animenz was in 2014 when I was looking for a Amagi Brilliant Park's Extra Magic Hour and Animenz's was the only one available, and dear god how a mind blowing experience it was for me. At the time I just barely started my modest anime drawing hobby and my drawing wasn't so good and wasn't original either so I was kind of considering giving up. But then I came to know animenz and I heard one of his talk about how his piano covers was the way for him to express his love for the animes and I pretty much saw myself in him. So ever since then I've been continued to draw, keeping in my heart that it's all for the animes I love, and even though it still feel very underwhelming, I certainly have been improving through all these times. I was inspired by Animenz to draw the things I love, and to get better and better at that everyday.
Another thing is my Animenz experience led me to broaden my horizon a lot more on animusic and jpop in general, and that went back to greatly enhance my anime watching experience and as a result helped to improve my drawing as well as I felt more motivated. It turned into such a sweet virtuous circle for me, and all started with Animenz.
I never would have thought that I would be participating in a project like this just a few years ago. This was an incredible experience and im so proud of this community showing off what they can achieve with some teamwork. Thanks to everyone who worked on this; you're the best, and thanks to animenz for being the source of our inspiration!
Damn, invisible ninjas are chopping onions!!!
I played piano since 4years old, and I stopped playing around the start of my university life. 10 years later, I accidentally watched his Only My Railgun in 2017, then in no time, I started taking piano lesson even though I dont have piano in my home, and started to learn playing piano again. I'm still in the journey of learning, but you are my goal and your pieces is my grand quest. Thanks for being my inspirations, Animenz
14:15 I cried out loud.
I have been practicing classic piano since I was 4 years old. I never liked it much back then because I was forced to practice long hours everyday. I stopped practicing once I passed the highest level exam and wanted never touch piano again. Sometime last year I discovered Ruru's piano channel and that led me to Animenz and many more anipianists in the community. I started to practice again, piano ,with full of my heart and love. I cannot believe it one day I actually sat down and practice long hours just because I love piano. Thank you so much the anipianists out there for helping me found my passion, and letting me to these beautiful melodies.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this prokect. It was really awesome project.
This is awesome, I'm genuinely at a loss for words. This community is the best, and of course I'm also grateful to Animenz, the godfather, as well for inspiring me to continue piano when classical competitions went completely virtual. A few years back, one of my close friends (who was a weeb of course haha) showed me a video of a piano piece he said he had been working on, and it turned out to be Animenz's arrangement of This Game. As a below average cocky classical pianist who had barely even touched the surface of music, I thought to myself, "how good can it really be?" However, those thoughts quickly turned to shock and awe as I witnessed Animenz's sheer skill, and I was absolutely blown away. So this was how far anime piano could go? I looked to my friend, who looked back at me nonchalantly, saying "Yeah those arpeggios are annoying", while I felt ashamed of how far behind I had fallen
😂, I mean seriously, he said it like it was nothing, and sure I'd played a bunch of cool pieces myself, but it was never something I really wanted to do, and I guess my lack of effort made it that much harder for me. And recently, I've put classical music on hold, perhaps until the summer or whenever competitions become in person again. I've only been on UA-cam for about 8 months now, but it's genuinely been fun. Nothing beats playing the pieces you love, so thank you Animenz, for inspiring me to continue piano when I would otherwise be tempted to just laze around all day.
Again, amazing job to all the pianists that made this video, and best wishes to Animenz!
(thanks for listening to me rant a bit haha)
I know I'm a bit late to this vid, I really don't know why I didn't get this vid in my recommended ;-;
The MASSIVE slides at 14:21 really made me jump out of me seat! I still remember chipping the nail off my pinky when practising my dearest years ago. Animenz really inspired me with that arrangement, which i still hold dearly even till this day!
This video made HISTORY!!!
Congrats for your collaboration!!❤️❤️
you did wonderful 😊
Thank you for being a part of this collab
Animenz,
A few years ago, I first stumbled across one of your anime piano works on UA-cam. At the time, I'd had lessons for a few years but had lost the desire to play I had started with back when I was just a few years old. Your sheets and recordings were revolutionary to me--I'd never seen anything like it before, and anime was a dear part of my life by then; your channel spoke to my deep appreciation for anime music and re-introduced the spark of passion I had for playing piano from the start. I was lucky to learn about the limitless possibilities of this great music style from you, who provided a stepping stone for so many of us to start playing and play hard to become more than we had ever been before as artists. Over the past few years, I've discovered many pieces in your channel that became favorites of mine, and I've played those pieces again and again until I could hear the inspiring sounds that you produced, but instead from a piano at my own hands. So many times when I lapsed in practice for a few months, your works inspired me to practice again and enjoy the fantastic, wholesome activity that is playing the piano.
We're thrilled to have you back, Animenz: I had already wanted to write a thank-you a couple weeks ago, but now I simply needed to, spontaneously, after watching this beautiful and heartwarming "11th year Animenz anniversary celebration" that the anime piano community made for you. Congratulations on coming back with your freedom and your recent "No Game No Life" debut. Keep enjoying your passion for anime piano and the support of this anime community. These are gifts worth giving, appreciating, and which you deserve for the many years of hard work you put into your talents, becoming a great pianist who inspires this community day in and day out. So much of this community exists thanks to the good you've done with your life by applying yourself to your gifts and sharing them freely with us!
Thank you, Animenz. I'm so happy watching your reactions haha

Animenz, thanks for being such a huge inspiration for soo many people!!
Beautiful work everyone! Shoutouts to the amazing editing, arranging, and mixing teams. This would not exist without you!

One of the best I've seen in the internet
It is rly wonderful to see how much the community has grown,it was an honor to be part of the best if not the best collaboration ever of the anime piano community, thank you for being the greatest people i've met and thank you so much Animenz for being the person who inspired a lot of us.
guilty crown and angel beats songs really do stand out
I feel so bad that I only found out about all this a day ago. Started out so sad reading animenz’s post about losing his IP and piano to being uplifting after seeing that he got his IP back and then to crying with this video. If u see this, ur the best animenz. Your covers have changed my life and brought back my love for piano
Oh wow this will go down as a legendary video for the anime piano community. The amount of effort put into this project is astounding. If I were animenz I would be truly touched. Well done to everyone in this video.
Beautifully played everyone! It’s amazing what everyone can accomplish when they come together! :)
this video is the feeling you get when you finish a great anime but then you realize it's getting another season

Ahahahaaaaah I missed the premiere :'( But this is amazing!! I have been watching Animenz works for about 3½ out of 11 years, but I still love his works. Great job to everyone who worked on this incredible project!!
Replaying this for the 20th time
Me too xD
I right click it and loop.
Is it just me or i anyone else imagining being a part of the video
Such a masterpiece ! I'm so happy to know Animenz channel, which lead me here. Unforgettable, incredible, just magic !
Bruh this made me tear up a bit
Incredible effort by everyone here, I had no idea this was going on, wish I can join next time!
This is so amazing I'm crying
Pfiuuuu what a blast. I rarely write comments on youtube, but this vido needs to go up, therefore i drop my words :) Animenz got probably thousands of views from me over the years, but i only listened to his arrangements and never realized what a community was behind this frontman.. You guys are great.
I am no pianist but a musician, and i for a fact that know that most of us are just creating music because our soul pushes us to do so, and if we have the possibility to share our creations, it's already a big win if someone acknowledges it, and if he likes it then it's such an immense emotional reward.
But what you guys have done here... i'm sure you crushed his heart to pieces for an instant :)
Well this comment goes nowhere, but let me just say that i admire Animenz and this community even more now that i understand it a bit better.
I wish you godspeed in your journey, hope music will never leave you!
Amazing work all of you! I'm really happy to be a part of this!
To leave a legacy like this, what an absolute legend in the community. And the story isn't even over yet. Thanks for everything, to everyone in this amazing community.
Couldn't think of a better way to convey gratitude to Animenzzz. You've outdone yourselves. Bravo
Wow. Never did it cross my mind that so many anime pianists would come together to do such an incredibly huge collaboration. I almost cried listening to this while reading the reaction from Animenz, it was so emotional. This is the most wonderful way to show appreciation for all the beautiful piano music he created for us. To all the participants, thank you so much for your hard work, creating the biggest and most stunning anime piano collaboration video in history!
This is amazing. Thanks to all those who did this, Animenz really deserved it and i hope it helped him keep his head up.
You just missed out on a slight detail, then everything would have been perfect: All the pianists should have worn long sleeves for this for the perfect hommage.
Nevertheless, great work everyone, and especially Animenz for basically being the founding father of Anime Piano on youtube
Oh god at first I thought you were gonna point out mixing/editing mistakes ;-;
But no one had long sleeve suits sadly :'3
I know I've already commented on this video- but I listen to it multiple times a week as I'm working and I'm constantly in awe of the incredible talent of all of you! Especially the part at 14:08 when everyone joins in. I just have chills every time. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. For this incredible collaboration and dedication to the man, the myth, the legend: Animenz.
Wow!! I got goose bumps all over my body when I started playing My Dearest. And 'from us for Animenz', 'Dear Animenz', and each pianist's letter made me cry. Thank you for the video. It was so impressive and touching.
am in tears
no comment
the goosebumps of this joint collaboration.... my jaw dropped during the entire thing
14:21 bro this gave me chills
this collaboration really made me happy, unite into 1 just to celebrate Animenz's anniversary
Never felt so many emotions just watching a video.This is propably my favourite youtube video ever.
I love Animenz and this community and I'm so grateful to be a part of it ever since I discovered Animenz' unravel cover mid 2015.
I'm not very musically gifted but since then I've been passionatley playing the piano and I love it so much!
Much love to everyone
Wow... wow... wow. This is amazing! And best of all, it’s for someone who really does deserve it! Animenz really is an inspiration for tons of anime pianists, and so it should be. The talent, skill, passion and of course practice he puts into every single one of his videos is incredible. Nicely done to everyone in the video
And by the time My Dearest came into full strength you bet I got shivers. That was really incredible on its own!
To be honest, Animenz is also one of the biggest reasons why I started playing piano at the age of 19, this year April, will be my second birthday for playing piano. Thank you, Animenz
Watching this video gave me the feeling you get when you finish a 13 episode anime and everyone splits up and moves on with their life.
Hands down best video on UA-cam
"Animenz is not just a name , Its something that is inside you"
This is perfect word to describe him .
Thank you Animenz !
Thank you !
Terima kasih !(Malay)
this is one of, if not the, best thing i've ever seen on youtube
I'm glad people have found piano, or piano found them. This is a beautiful cover and a reminder for the level I want to approach as I practice piano (and in the future, other instruments).
I've been stressing over a lot lately, but this video is just a clear celebration, and you just feel the fun.
Thank you everyone on the team, thank you animenz.
Happy 11th Anniversary Animenz!!!
Idk when I 1st subbed to animenz but I can remember highschool days of me enjoying the channel's occasional uploads with my friends.
Thank you so much to everyone involved in this project. Everyone here deserves all the love in the world
Its absolutely stunning!!! Totally beautiful, it moved me to tears! 🥲
I cant count how many times i watched this video. No words can explain how wonderful this performance is.
I can feel the goosebumps from the start up to the end of the performance. May fave part here is when *My dearest* starts to play simply because I feel the emotion that is coming from the piano performance and it feels like Im listening in an orchestra performance.
Kudos to all of the persons behind this project! Subscribed!
Wtf, this is so epic. I'm gonna cry
*smashes replay button*
Unbelievable! Thanks All to make this video. Thanks Animenz!
This community’s the best. Animenz was who got me back into piano after I stopped and of course so many other channel helped too. Thanks so much to everyone who made this collab a reality!
Rewatching this after the new Animenz video. The amount of emotion when everyone comes together near the 15 minute mark is surreal. I cannot express how amazing this is!
It's even more impactful because of the song choice for that part too. We all know that song is special in regards to Animenz. This collab is by far the best video I have ever seen on UA-cam.
I only have words of thanks to the people who made this possible.
Animenz, thank you for creating and performing your arrangements that started us all.
CSM, thank you for organizing this project :3
The arrangers, wow, I just have so much respect for you guys. You literally pulled off and insane medley for all of us!!!
The editors, don't really know how you did this! There are hundreds of audio and video clips, and you guys managed to color grade and edit all of them into this beautiful rendition. Bravo!
Thank you to all the pianists in this community. Love you all~
おめでとうございます
Animenz-san! I always like your arrangements and watch almost every of your videos. But my most favourite is Nagi no Asukara medley... This reverb and the sound of Steinway... It is just wonderful... I have no proper words to discribe how much I love this one piece. "I am floating in an ocean of emotions" as Theishter said is probably best describtion of this medley. Thank you, Animenz!
And thank you, guys, for making this video!
How much work it must've been to have this put together... WOW.
First time seeing a single medley with 427 measures.
AND OMG shivers ran through my body when everybody started playing My Dearest.
WHAT A PERFECT CONCLUSION.
Bravo. Truly heartwarming.
One more scintillating highlight written in the history book of anipiano.
Great work everyone!
Anymore are crying? Because I'm crying❤️ Animenz The Best
Wow, this must have taken so long to make and put together. It's amazing how so many pianists from the anime piano community took part in this amazing project for Animenz.
I'm crying, you all... How was it even possible! That's amazing... Thank you so much for this great medley!! I felt it 😖😭 So everything that makes us whole, we'll give it back to you~
Amazing how much influence one person can have eh? Job well done by everyone involved 👏🏾
This HAS to blow up guys
