    アレンジするための自信が十分つくまでずいぶん時間がかかってしまいました。文字通り最も有名なアニメソングといっても過言ではないからね。2020年現在の自分のアレンジスタイルさえあれば、このアレンジを最高のものにすることができそうな気がしたので今週とうとうアレンジしてみました。みんな聞いてくれてどうもありがとう!(シンジはついにロボットから降りることができました。ミッション終了です。)
    I have been waiting a long time until I feel confident enough to arrange this song, because it's simply the most universally recognized Anime song of all time. I think my current arrangement style in 2020 is able to bring out the best of this piece, so I finally took the chance to arrange it for this week's upload. Thank you everyone for listening! (And Shinji can finally get out of his robot now. His mission is done)

      @@user-tq8vd2xj6z Start with easy songs like requiem for a dream and if you can play this do something harder... If you played for around 1,5 years you can try something like moonlight sonata in the 3th movement... You can also find many UA-camr on UA-cam who teach you playing... Look at "Tomas Forschbach"...
      But if you what to play like Animenz you have to learn very long...

    2. 1:35 LOVE that right hand
    3. 1:43 is INCREDIBLE that entire part until 2:13 sounds SO good
    Not mentioning all the 3-hand techniques since that's just classic Animenz at this point LOL they're as impressive as ever!
    4. 2:59 so pretty...
    5. 3:05 smooth pt. 2
    6. 3:36 what a good mood change~
    7. 3:50 love that run
    8. 3:54 why use both hands when you can use ONE
    9. 4:08 I feel that buildup in my BONES so good
    10. 4:17 that bit has SUCH a cool mood to it
    11. 4:26 wonderful ending, 11/11 you can get out of the robot now Animenz

    This just sounds so amazing. It sounds like he poured his soul into it. It's not just that he's perfected his craft, because the song can still feel flatt, but he makes it sound so emotional. With every key he presses it makes me feel something. This is something many other pianist's on this platform lack. They simply play the song and that's it, even though there's so much more to it than just the sheet music.

      if you are playing at a beginner or intermediate player then finding a good teacher is important. If you truly wish to play pieces like this then classical training for at least several years. One who is self taught from the beginning and actually achieve a lvl that can play this reasonably well is something like 1/10000. This is because a teacher will give the best ways to practice, best method would then translate to higher efficiency and no injuries and thats only technical side. Musically one also needs years to develop as well. Most importantly as a semi pro pianist myself it is very important to practice with the right technique, otherwise very serious injuries could occur with tendors when you practice for anymore than few hours day. This is especially true for pieces that have the technical lvl of this piece or beyond

    Man, what a high energy and groovy arrangement from start to finish. Had me singing ZANNNKOOOKUUUUU from the get go. Absolutely fantastic.
    A quick and unconventional start with the sparkling 2 hand arpeggios, imitating the resonating opening choir. Caught me by surprise. It then immediately cuts into the groovy LH bass line before cutting to the softer first chorus. The rolling RH melody pattern at 1:35 gets reused multiple times (3:29), something i don't usually see, but it serves well to reiterate the high energy chanting mood.
    What a mood at 1:43. Gave me a Bios sort of vibe with the rolling 16th lower voice. I love the slow build-up of this extended "bridge" section directly into the second chorus. The continuous rolling 16th pattern is heard again in a different form in the build-up to the third chorus (2:58).
    The syncopated chromatic (e.g. 1:11) pickups add such a lovely jazzy flavor and contribute so well to the grooviness of the bass line. My favorite "feature" by far in this piece.
    There is quite a nuanced touch at 2:29 in making the RH harmony sparkle, and it is much harder to accomplish than it sounds. kudos on that. Similarly, i love how the higher voice harmony sparkles at 3:37
    It's quite refreshing to take a break from the usual 3 chorus song structure, and I enjoyed listening to the extra variations, especially the triplet feel at 4:26
    No matter what your current style is, I always have been and will continue to be blown away at the creative and interesting ideas that you are able to conjure up. Thank you for sharing!
