Thank you everyone for watching this premiere together with me! And once again, thank you for your support for the past 10 years! I will continue doing my best
I love you u i swear one day i mm going to meet you and hug you for inspiring me to play the piano i will keep on practicing until one day ill play all your pieces i love you ❤️💕
@@Miyamoto_345 Guilty Crown has a lot of similarities to Code Geass. If for some reason you like Code Geass, you'd also probably like Guilty Crown. Though a lot of people tend to complain about the ending. The ending does something similar that Darling in the Franxxx does, a wild crazy unexpected route that seems unnecessary. Though not quite as crazy as Evangelion goes with the ending haha.
Also, since we all have gathered here: if you have any questions left for me, I will try to answer it here. Just reply to this comment, and I will reply. I stickied it to the top so everyone can see.
To me, This piece felt like a close friend, a special someone, a special moment in my life, a unforgettable memory, a priceless journey, a unreplaceable gift…
As a college student, I started to watch Animenz’s video about 6 years ago. When I was very young, I was forced to play the piano by my mother. At that time, I had no interest in playing the piano. However, everything changed when I entered junior high school. I started to watch anime and I fell in love with anime music. Sometimes I would imagine what will be like if anime music is combined with piano. Then I started to search anime piano videos on internet. Luckily, I found Animenz’s anime piano cover of the OST from Sword Art Online. Since then, I discovered the incredible possibilities that piano has and I fell in love with piano. I also started do anime piano arrangements while I am practicing. His music has kept motivating me to play the music that I like. I can learn a lot either from his live concert or his piano videos. What’s more, we even became friends last year. Finally, because of my love for animation, I held my first anime piano concert in Syracuse University last November. Animenz encouraged me before my concert and he gave me a present after my concert. I was so happy! I want to say that thank you Animenz. Thanks for the power and motivation you have brought us! We will keep supporting you in the next 10 years!
Hey there, Animenz Just want to say, how much this song, "My Dearest" meant to me just like it is to you. 7 years ago, just when Guilty Crown was airing, I was a mere middle schooler who couldn't hold the simplest of conversations. No one would sit with me, simply because I didn't talk. The endless fights between my parents, and their abuse drove me away from trying to make any social contact, because I thought that I'd just get hurt even more. It was truly, the lowest point of my life. Then on the same day I first heard this song, a special someone held out their hands for me. "Hey, you're actually a very smart and kind person, aren't you? You should talk more" She said with the brightest smile. There, I came into realization that no matter how scary it is to change, I need to take the first step. My life will never change if I don't take the initiative by myself. Even if the steps I made were small, salvation can only be reached if I went forward. And then, here am I now. A graduate from a goverment-sponsored student exchange program to Japan, where I made friends with people all across the globe. An active club mentor, and a volunteer at local NGO's devoted to education. Everyday I interact with hundreds of people, and it all started from that day 7 years ago, when I first heard this song. Thank you for reminding me about my journey, and especially this song. Happy 10th Anniversary, Animenz. Let's hope that the future holds bright for all of us.
@@planetary-rendez-vous Sadly we parted ways before my exhange program, but I'll make sure to properly say my thanks one way or another. Am eternally grateful for what she said that day.
Can't believe it's been 10 years. I started my own channel because of you, the King of Anime Piano. You never know how many people you have inspired. Animenz You deserve the best ♡
oh my, a lot of my favorite piano channels are commenting on ALSO MY FAVORITE piano channel's video. This is just a blessing for me and the other viewers. I can see that music can bring together peoples from all over the world even though with different styles and genres. Lots of love
Yes I agree. Animenz is a big inspiration. I actually started learning piano from zero because of Animenz. And now here I am, already able to create arrangements of anime music too. Oh and I am also a fan of you funguypiano! 🤗
It scares me how time passes so quickly, I watch this anime back in junior high and now I am a working class adult. Despite being a mediocre person, my heart seeks thrill and adventure still. And through anime I feel like the world is somehow in the palm of my hands. Thank you Animenz for reminding me of this wonderful piece
that's such a beautiful way to put it. "despite being a mediocre person, my heart seeks thrill and adventure still." i hope you know you are anything but mediocre.
I went deaf 4 years ago, never thought I could actually hear this again...I just had my cochlear implants activated 4 days ago, and you upload this...Thank you for this.
Good for you, the beauty of music cannot be heard without your own ears. Be thankful to God for giving you a second chance to listen to magical yet wonderful music until the day comes, always be thankful for everything that has been given to you. I'm sorry if this is to emotional. It's just my opinion ; )
(Ah, such a shame I’m watching this only a week later!) The feelings, all the feelings. You, Animenz, were the reason I, as well as many other fellow anime pianists, started our channels and didn’t stop playing piano. Thank YOU for that. Among your covers My Dearest has always been my favorite, an arrangement that I’d come back to refer to whenever I lacked idea. You were, are, and will continue to be an amazing inspiration to all of us. Congratulations on the 10th anniversary.
김부엉 Owl_Kim [KimPianime] thank you, KimPianime! I will also never forget your Kanade Arrangement, absolute masterpiece. Glad to see you are still around 😊
3 years ago I wondered when I was able to perform this. I hated how small my hands were and the demands of this piece were way beyond my league 1 year ago I started learning this from scratch, it took me several months just to get the notes. let alone phrasing and accurate pacing etc Last month I decided to get in the music school in my college with this piece, together with some Chopin Just now I looked away from practicing the old my dearest, and hopped on my laptop And I saw this, seemingly unreal There is no word to express my emotion when im typing this This is the piece that made me picked up piano after 10+ years of hiatus This is the piece that pulled me into Chopin, my fav composer The grace is still here, but even better GOOD JOB ANIMENZ, MY FAV CONTEMPORARY COMPOSER
You know that feeling when you wanna like an animenz video but then you can't because you already did. Then you're sad because you cant show your appreciation anymore
This arrangement always gets me teary eyed. Guilty Crown wasn't the greatest anime, but the finale was so impactful and emotional that I can't help but get a little melancholic.
GC definately had some of the best music. It's been many years since I've watched it and I don't remember much about the story but the music is still clear in my head especially the opening and ending of the final episode.
This makes me so sad. I think I'm just a massive sucker for great soundtracks in anime, because I absolutely adore Guilty Crown, and it is my favourite anime of all time, and it hurts me to know the general opinion of the anime.
@@sambinns1809 I personally loved the anime too. I hear so many mixed feelings about it, but I will always love it. It has impacted me so much and will always be with me for the rest of my life.
Hes honestly gotten even better, I just finish watching his rendition of this from 7yrs ago. He is more refined and controlled. He went from talented to untouchable.
as a man who has been your fan since the early days of your channel, I have come to realise just how much the channel has developed, and despite growing up playing piano just like you, I just could not get as good as you. I appreciate the effort you put in to really bring out the emotions behind the music, and how you use your skills for all of our enjoyment. I was at your performance in Sydney, and I was really moved and in awe of your skills. I'd jump on a plane to another city if you were performing there, because your piano skills are just something to admire. On behalf of all anime music fans across the world, we thank you for your contributions you have made for the anime piano community. You're a really great pianist, and I hope everyone can appreciate your effort put into your songs. Thank you, Just another fan.
Thank you watching my videos over these past years! I can't wait to see how the anime piano community is growing on UA-cam in the future. Life is good :D
Dear Animenz, I dont know where to start, so I will just list of things in a random order. I cant double check anyway because of the tears blocking my vision. When I first heard Your original my Dearest I was absolutely in awe. I didnt know a human could produce such sounds. It captured me and I still listen to it on an almost daily basis, together with the rest of your work. And now you do this. You just did it. HOW MUCH can a human improve and perfect in a musical arrangement, I dont know anymore. In the beginning I thought "oh, a nice remake, maybe it will have some new nuances. But after the first seconds I noticed something was different. Your accents where even more on point, the harmonies richer, the melody was singing to me, it was amazing! The feeling you put into this flows out so much it overwhelmed me. You are and will always be my symbol of passion and dedication, inspiring and for ever out of reach at the same time. I usually dislike pianists who "fake" their "emotional" movement into a song, or those who just close their eyes because it looks cool and impressive, but for you that just wasnt the case. Your feelings are so real, you can hear them in every note you play, in a way I havent heard any other pianist. This isnt just any cover, you created something new. Something special, wonderful, touching your very soul. So Thank you! Thank you so so much!! I cant thank you enough for what you have given me and many others. Im just a random stranger who writes a way too long comment on a video posted online. It probably will be swallowed up by the mass of people loving you, and may even come across a little creepy. But nevertheless. Words cant express anymore what I feel right now. Thank you.
I think this 10 year anniversary "My Dearest" is also one of my favorite arrangements I ever did. Not because of the technical difficulty, but the emotional value this song holds to me. Thank you so much for your support over the years! I will continue doing my best.
ive been listening to this cover almost every single day of my life since i was 12 ive cried tears of joy and happiness, ive smiled and laughed with friends, ive contemplated taking my own life even and yet anytime i need to feel something i come back to the passion that is this piece of music this cover will play when i die and i will never forget everything it's done for me you have no idea how much i appreiciate you you're quite the man mr animenz love from a boy whose life was saved by your music
Not sure if you'll see this, but I was at your first concert in Singapore 10 years ago, and had the pleasure of attending your concert again at the Esplanade last week. It's amazing to see how far you've come, from performing in a small high school auditorium to an amazing concert hall. This song is still my favourite of yours by far, so it was so great to hear the story you shared behind it. It was magical to get to listen to it live again! I only wish that you'd done an encore of My Dearest like you did back at the first concert haha. I hope to hear a 20 year anniversary edition one day! And I hope I don't have to wait 10 more years for your next tour!
To those who have been inspired by Animenz to learn piano: You might be able to do it if you try. But if you don’t try, you definitely can’t. - Inori Yuzuriha
Gosh this video brings me back to when i was a teenager obsessed with this song because of Animenz… Years later and I’ve been through so much to the point that I lost interest in most things that were so dear to me like anime and youtube. I’m so glad to enjoy these videos again and that he’s still posting!!!
I'm not really good with words.. but I have to say this: I've been following your piano since Angel Beats, and I can say... All of your piano arrangements have never disappointed me. Actually, you're the best one in my opinion. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary. I love your arrangements so much and really glad to hear this new version of My Dearest. I'll always cheer for you and wait for more of your anime music on the piano in the future!
When I was like 13 yo, I suffered of bullying and I found the protection I needed in anime, instantly I loved how the music could change so much, while searching it's music I found your channel, then I realised how beautiful the music could be and how the instruments can help you to communicate feelings through musical notes; you did help me to find some light in those years: thank you
Thank you for these 10 years--我也感谢这十年有你。谢谢你十年来都在坚持做这件事情，让我也想要像你第一天刚开始一样尝试去做自己想做的事，自己很需要勇气抛弃原本有的一切去做的事。这个世界没你的话我的世界真的会无趣很多，你的音乐真的很美好，每次听都是直达人的内心，谢谢这个世界有你的存在，谢谢。
Legitimately can’t even comprehend a reason as to why someone would dislike this. I’ve followed you for 7 years now, Animenz. I love you and am always happy to see more. Like many, you’re the whole reason I started piano. I found you, then quickly found tehishter and others, then it was an undying flame since I discovered you. Thank you for your contribution in finding my passion.
I cannot hold my tears"_" animenz really you are the best pianist for me"_".. I am not even kidding, because of you I starting giving time to my piano... Your pieces changes me as a person..Thanks for a decade happiness..(I cry now)
you missed the opportunity to say "My dearest watchers" Glad I found your channel and I always enjoy your music. Thank you, too, for making these videos :)
Thank you for gracing Kaohsiung with your performance, especially for sharing the touching story behind "My Dearest," which truly struck a chord with the audience and added even more significance to this song. Your music has been a constant companion throughout every stage and phase of my life, and I will continue to support you. I eagerly anticipate the wonderful melodies you'll bring to the world in the future. It was a magical evening, and I look forward to your next visit to Taiwan～
This was an incredible arrangement, I like it better than your old one because your playing is a lot cleaner in this video, I'm really looking forward to your 2020 videos. I hope to be able to play like you one day because you are the pianist that inspired me to start playing piano in the first place and to even started my own channel!! I wish you the best of luck.
no shit, i'm crying. this moved me to tears. this song is my favorite OP and this rendition is just... wow. i'm speechless. and as an incoming music student in conservatory (I'll be taking Music Education - Emphasis on Violin), i felt demotivated recently that i am unable to practice and this cover gave me a new surge of motivation. you're amazing. thank you.
Anyone here after that 11th anniversary tribute video?? Man that version of My Dearest is giving me goosebumps. Best of luck for Animenz in 2021 and cant wait to see your next masterpiece.
@@blackweiwei you can just type "animenz 11th anniversary" on youtube. Its made by the anime pianist community and its one of the craziest piano project I've seen so far.
I can't believe how much I've grown since I've seen this anime and heard this the first time. I'm getting memories back from middle school and how much my life has changed for the better. I can't believe how much has happened in 6 years and this reminded me of the person I wanted to be back then and I'm glad how I am now. Despite dealing with Corona and all of its effects to my daily life I can still be happy thanks to anime and music.
This song truly is amazing. There aren't many thungs i can say about it that will ever truly do it justice ,everything from the playing to the song itself its truly an incredible display of passion. The skill in arranging it alone is an amzing ideas using so many techniques that arent normally used and then to play them all with perfect playing, from the dynamics to the fingerings, the voicing, the emotion, its all perfect. I dont think i can say how much this song would affect me. I cant say enough about animenz and his beautiful playing, but i hope you can hear from me its realize it how truly amazing it is.
Guilty Crown has such a beautiful soundtrack, hearing it as a piano version really makes it feel different again, but in a very very good way. The show is so underappreciated
I just imagine people who were struggling to learn My Dearest from 2013 and when this video was uploaded their reaction must have been « time to learn it again »
The amount of kind comments in this comment section is overwhelming, so let me add another one. Thanks for everything you've done in these years, i've always loved all of your arrangements.
Your first “My Dearest” video was the first video I ever saw from this channel I fell in love with your playing with that one video Hearing such beautiful and emotional playing of a beautiful and emotional song that’ll always mean so much to me, I knew I’d found something special Thanks so much for everything. Sometimes it’s still the smaller things that can really mean something to someone, and I’m so thankful that even just watching some youtube videos from you have given me so much happiness over the years, and I’m always going to treasure that happiness Thank you
11 years later who could've known that those old recordings of you simply playing piano aggressively and taking on a challenge for yourself would be held as the best anime pianist by many people. For the past 7 years of me following this channel through multiple accounts, I'm thankful. I've always aspired to play piano ever since I encountered this channel and I've yet to make that dream come true but hopefully someday, I'll be able to take up the piano and play as beautifully as you. It is something truly beautiful. Thank you.
I remember when this video first came out. I turned on the same song I'd listened to to fall asleep for years, and didn't think twice, but then suddenly it was different. I shot up to check my phone to make sure I selected the right one, but it was this!
The last part, starting from 7:01 till the end, sounded to me like you expressing utmost gratitude through this song. Of course, you already mentioned that yourself in the description, but I just wanted to say: Yes, it reached me. It reached us. I actually cried listening to it. So it really reached us. Thank you too, Animenz!
This should be interesting. After 10 years worth of amazing melodies. Let’s see how Animenz chooses to kick off 2020. Been listening to this guys work for years now. Never disappoints.
I swear I can just spend hours sitting and watching this man play the piano. It just gives me so much peace. People have comfort streamers. I have a comfort pianist ❤️
4 years later and I still come back to watch this video all the time from start to finish (plus 20 rewinds to hear my favourite parts again) Master Class!!
This will always be my favorite among your numerous tracks/covers despite all of them being amazing. Thanks for sharing your talents to us for these 10 years.
Although I'm kinda late to the party, I just want to say I regret not clicking this video earlier. I knew about your cover back in 2020 and started listening to you daily since early this year. However, there's this cover that I'm always hesitant to click on, bc I've never heard the original before. About 2 weeks ago, I was bored and I didn't know what to do, so I decided to give it a try. And I would say, this is one of the most beautiful piano arrangements I've listened. The amount of attention to even the smallest details makes me overflowed with emotion. I even shed tears on the 3:08 part (which I never did once when listening to piano) :grinning_face_with_sweat: . And now I listen to this song everyday, each time recognizing more and more new details. Congratulations for the 2 million subscriber milestone recently and I hope you can create more covers in the future
I was practicing piano for around 6 years, and I wasn't very passionate about it. Actually I dropped it for different reasons, but one day I watched Your lie in april and something started to shine again inside me. I found your arrangement of the OP. And something changed, I actually bought a complete piano and started playing again. This was 3/4 years ago and now I continue playing. Not much unfortunatelly, but when I do is for genuine love to music. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to come back
This may sound weird but while I was throwing up cause I drank to much i listened to your songs and they helped me to calm down.For me this is the proof that Animenz can cure every sickness and bad feelings
SO EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME WHOLE IMA KIMI NI SASAGEYYOUUUUU (I dont understand how you can dislike this bruh its literally impossible it has to just be some random haters or people that were groovin too hard.)
4:14 gave me such vibes. I love your music and i like to see what your heart desires on earth and finding a passion, Dont stop what your doing and keep looking forward, I think your music brings towards young peoplr into playing the piano, I know im late on this, but, ill be there for the next yeared anniversary and having hope it will be a good year.
Mindblowing. Amazing. I listened to that song already like about 50 times, then I deleted it to not hear it too much. And now after more than one year of not listening it anymore it has a much bigger positive impact than ever before. That's a real stunner Piano Piece of you
I wasn't ready to get teary eyed today, but thank you, I'm so happy you're here. You have been an inspiration for me, on a personal and musical level. One day, I hope that I can push forward the way you have. Seriously, thank you. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for this channel, or your heartfelt messages that you add with your videos. Thank you, so much.
Animenz is one of the only two youtubers that I feel compelled to support anyway I can. His dedication and beauty is amazing even down to me being able to listen to the music while youtube is minimized and even providing his transcription on some vids. You are what the people of the world need to aspire to be like
I hadn't realized it'd been so long. The realization, looking back and remembering when I saw the first video and all the time that'd past brought tears to my eyes. I've not cried in a very, very long time. I needed that, so thank you.
Three years ago I came across your first version of 'my dearest' and to me, it was probably the most inspiring video I've ever seen. I listened to nothing but your videos for months and eventually you were the reason I started playing the piano. I'm not aspiring to become a professional pianist or something, I just do it because I love it. Thanks for helping me discover my love for playing. Oh and this version is absolutely beautiful by the way :)
I just acquired the best set of headphones I've ever had and can hear the keys being pressed and lifted. A truly magical experience that brought a tear to this old mans eyes.
I remember way back 2 years ago, I was studying and reviewing for my upcoming licensure examination and I had to refrain myself from watching animes to help me focus. But to compensate that, I listen to his covers! It became my study music ever since and now I still hold that license. Ever thankful. Ever the best. Ever timeless, Animez. Love from Philippines!
OMG! the ending brought tears to my eye's so much more than any other rendition of this song. Dude...Nothing and I mean NOTHING!!! Compares to what you do!

Hey there, Animenz
Just want to say, how much this song, "My Dearest" meant to me just like it is to you.
7 years ago, just when Guilty Crown was airing, I was a mere middle schooler who couldn't hold the simplest of conversations. No one would sit with me, simply because I didn't talk. The endless fights between my parents, and their abuse drove me away from trying to make any social contact, because I thought that I'd just get hurt even more. It was truly, the lowest point of my life.
Then on the same day I first heard this song, a special someone held out their hands for me. "Hey, you're actually a very smart and kind person, aren't you? You should talk more" She said with the brightest smile.
There, I came into realization that no matter how scary it is to change, I need to take the first step. My life will never change if I don't take the initiative by myself. Even if the steps I made were small, salvation can only be reached if I went forward.
And then, here am I now. A graduate from a goverment-sponsored student exchange program to Japan, where I made friends with people all across the globe. An active club mentor, and a volunteer at local NGO's devoted to education. Everyday I interact with hundreds of people, and it all started from that day 7 years ago, when I first heard this song.
Thank you for reminding me about my journey, and especially this song. Happy 10th Anniversary, Animenz. Let's hope that the future holds bright for all of us.
Thank you for sharing your story with me! It is really inspiring to hear how much you have achieved in the last 7 years. Here's to another 10 years!
Wow. Is the special someone still there?
@@planetary-rendez-vous Sadly we parted ways before my exhange program, but I'll make sure to properly say my thanks one way or another. Am eternally grateful for what she said that day.

@Cyrus Goh its 2020 fam u still having that mindset?
Yes I agree. Animenz is a big inspiration. I actually started learning piano from zero because of Animenz. And now here I am, already able to create arrangements of anime music too.
Oh and I am also a fan of you funguypiano! 🤗
It scares me how time passes so quickly, I watch this anime back in junior high and now I am a working class adult. Despite being a mediocre person, my heart seeks thrill and adventure still. And through anime I feel like the world is somehow in the palm of my hands. Thank you Animenz for reminding me of this wonderful piece
that's such a beautiful way to put it. "despite being a mediocre person, my heart seeks thrill and adventure still." i hope you know you are anything but mediocre.
i relate to this comment very deeply. I hope your heart found the thrill and adventure that craves so much
I went deaf 4 years ago, never thought I could actually hear this again...I just had my cochlear implants activated 4 days ago, and you upload this...Thank you for this.
congratulations
Good for you, the beauty of music cannot be heard without your own ears. Be thankful to God for giving you a second chance to listen to magical yet wonderful music until the day comes, always be thankful for everything that has been given to you.

its 10 years and i still here too
(´,,•ω•,,)♡
(Ah, such a shame I’m watching this only a week later!)
The feelings, all the feelings. You, Animenz, were the reason I, as well as many other fellow anime pianists, started our channels and didn’t stop playing piano. Thank YOU for that. Among your covers My Dearest has always been my favorite, an arrangement that I’d come back to refer to whenever I lacked idea. You were, are, and will continue to be an amazing inspiration to all of us.
Congratulations on the 10th anniversary.
김부엉 Owl_Kim [KimPianime] thank you, KimPianime! I will also never forget your Kanade Arrangement, absolute masterpiece. Glad to see you are still around 😊
@@Animenzzz ummm mr animez, can u make kill la kill op 2 AND don't lose your way? Thanks.
The amount of positive feedback in this comment section is heartwarming
True
Anime covers: *exists*
Animenz: *"Time to make this 100 times better!"*
Animenz, When are you getting a Spotify account man? I need your music wherever I go in the world
Same and there I can have even better audio quality!
Let's get more likes to make Animenz read this
Yesssss
I'd sign up for spotify just to listen to Animenz
It's absolutely insane that he has been around for this long and still doesn't have one.
I love that he chose this song to be the special piano arrangement, this song is beautiful yet powerful
I love it so much. To me, it’s still the most beautiful anime opening song I’ve heard
@@FatesR 100% agreed
なみ this song will never get old, no matter how much time has passed. Truly one of the greatest Anime Opening songs of all time
@@Animenzzz true, even after 8 years, till this day I still love this legendary opening
日本の方ですか？
3 years ago I wondered when I was able to perform this. I hated how small my hands were and the demands of this piece were way beyond my league
1 year ago I started learning this from scratch, it took me several months just to get the notes. let alone phrasing and accurate pacing etc
Last month I decided to get in the music school in my college with this piece, together with some Chopin
Just now I looked away from practicing the old my dearest, and hopped on my laptop
And I saw this, seemingly unreal
There is no word to express my emotion when im typing this
This is the piece that made me picked up piano after 10+ years of hiatus
This is the piece that pulled me into Chopin, my fav composer
The grace is still here, but even better
GOOD JOB ANIMENZ, MY FAV CONTEMPORARY COMPOSER
Glad to hear you picked up the piano after a long hiatus! I also agree that Chopin is a god among the piano composers
You know that feeling when you wanna like an animenz video but then you can't because you already did. Then you're sad because you cant show your appreciation anymore
This arrangement always gets me teary eyed. Guilty Crown wasn't the greatest anime, but the finale was so impactful and emotional that I can't help but get a little melancholic.
Hot take: Guilty Crown is just Hiroyuki Sawano AMV.
@@y__h holy shit u right
GC definately had some of the best music. It's been many years since I've watched it and I don't remember much about the story but the music is still clear in my head especially the opening and ending of the final episode.
This makes me so sad. I think I'm just a massive sucker for great soundtracks in anime, because I absolutely adore Guilty Crown, and it is my favourite anime of all time, and it hurts me to know the general opinion of the anime.
@@sambinns1809 I personally loved the anime too. I hear so many mixed feelings about it, but I will always love it. It has impacted me so much and will always be with me for the rest of my life.
When you favorite anime uploads a recap episode...
Jokes aside, thank you for your work Animenz. You are an inspiration for many of us! :)
hahaha, good one! This made me audibly lol
You have accomplished so much in these 10 years, you should be very proud and of course beautiful performance!
How do u only have 3 likes?!
Hes honestly gotten even better, I just finish watching his rendition of this from 7yrs ago. He is more refined and controlled. He went from talented to untouchable.
I always see you in comment sections on videos like these.
Lucas, I've been listening to you and jurivh for years and years. That's why I play the piano today.
as a man who has been your fan since the early days of your channel, I have come to realise just how much the channel has developed, and despite growing up playing piano just like you, I just could not get as good as you. I appreciate the effort you put in to really bring out the emotions behind the music, and how you use your skills for all of our enjoyment. I was at your performance in Sydney, and I was really moved and in awe of your skills. I'd jump on a plane to another city if you were performing there, because your piano skills are just something to admire. On behalf of all anime music fans across the world, we thank you for your contributions you have made for the anime piano community. You're a really great pianist, and I hope everyone can appreciate your effort put into your songs.
Thank you,
Just another fan.
Thank you watching my videos over these past years! I can't wait to see how the anime piano community is growing on UA-cam in the future. Life is good :D
Dear Animenz,
I dont know where to start, so I will just list of things in a random order. I cant double check anyway because of the tears blocking my vision.
When I first heard Your original my Dearest I was absolutely in awe. I didnt know a human could produce such sounds. It captured me and I still listen to it on an almost daily basis, together with the rest of your work.
And now you do this.
You just did it.
HOW MUCH can a human improve and perfect in a musical arrangement, I dont know anymore.
In the beginning I thought "oh, a nice remake, maybe it will have some new nuances. But after the first seconds I noticed something was different. Your accents where even more on point, the harmonies richer, the melody was singing to me, it was amazing! The feeling you put into this flows out so much it overwhelmed me.
You are and will always be my symbol of passion and dedication, inspiring and for ever out of reach at the same time. I usually dislike pianists who "fake" their "emotional" movement into a song, or those who just close their eyes because it looks cool and impressive, but for you that just wasnt the case. Your feelings are so real, you can hear them in every note you play, in a way I havent heard any other pianist. This isnt just any cover, you created something new. Something special, wonderful, touching your very soul.
So Thank you! Thank you so so much!! I cant thank you enough for what you have given me and many others. Im just a random stranger who writes a way too long comment on a video posted online. It probably will be swallowed up by the mass of people loving you, and may even come across a little creepy. But nevertheless. Words cant express anymore what I feel right now.
Thank you.
I think this 10 year anniversary "My Dearest" is also one of my favorite arrangements I ever did. Not because of the technical difficulty, but the emotional value this song holds to me. Thank you so much for your support over the years! I will continue doing my best.
"I didnt know a human could produce such sounds. " actually, they can't. only a god could. A piano god
lulu
Yeah. Humans require pianos to do it
ive been listening to this cover almost every single day of my life since i was 12
ive cried tears of joy and happiness, ive smiled and laughed with friends, ive contemplated taking my own life even
and yet anytime i need to feel something i come back to the passion that is this piece of music
this cover will play when i die and i will never forget everything it's done for me you have no idea how much i appreiciate you you're quite the man mr animenz
love from a boy whose life was saved by your music
Holy shit I didnt realize how nostalgic this song was until now.
Shay Viehman the chorus always brings tears to my eyes.
I remember balling my eyes out to guilty crown a few years ago
Aside from being probably the best anime pianist ever, he is also one of the kindest human beings on earth
Not sure if you'll see this, but I was at your first concert in Singapore 10 years ago, and had the pleasure of attending your concert again at the Esplanade last week. It's amazing to see how far you've come, from performing in a small high school auditorium to an amazing concert hall. This song is still my favourite of yours by far, so it was so great to hear the story you shared behind it. It was magical to get to listen to it live again! I only wish that you'd done an encore of My Dearest like you did back at the first concert haha. I hope to hear a 20 year anniversary edition one day! And I hope I don't have to wait 10 more years for your next tour!
To those who have been inspired by Animenz to learn piano:
You might be able to do it if you try. But if you don’t try, you definitely can’t.

Lol I thought you meant Yuzuriha from dr stone
underrated.... But so true. This quotes got me started on my work now and a few other things.
To try invites failure.

Animenz's secret debunked: He practices for 40 hours a day.
8 days a week lol
Just like Ling Ling, but not on a violin ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°

*P R A C T I C E*
TwoSet and Animenz should collab
Gosh this video brings me back to when i was a teenager obsessed with this song because of Animenz… Years later and I’ve been through so much to the point that I lost interest in most things that were so dear to me like anime and youtube. I’m so glad to enjoy these videos again and that he’s still posting!!!
It’s probably the most exciting event at the beginning of 2020 for me.
Me tooo especially the message he wrote in the description
I'm not really good with words.. but I have to say this:
I've been following your piano since Angel Beats, and I can say... All of your piano arrangements have never disappointed me. Actually, you're the best one in my opinion. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary. I love your arrangements so much and really glad to hear this new version of My Dearest.
I'll always cheer for you and wait for more of your anime music on the piano in the future!
One day, I will also re-record my Angel Beats arrangements with my current microphone for maximum audio quality and viewing pleasure :3
@@Animenzzz yuuuus
@@Animenzzz Please do if you have time, that cover was what introduced me to you (っ´▽`)っ
@@Animenzzz Pls :3
When I was like 13 yo, I suffered of bullying and I found the protection I needed in anime, instantly I loved how the music could change so much, while searching it's music I found your channel, then I realised how beautiful the music could be and how the instruments can help you to communicate feelings through musical notes; you did help me to find some light in those years: thank you
Holy sheet
Did nobody notice this pun?
what pun?
music sheet. nice pun👌
I see what you did there
I see what u did there...
My legends back 😢😢
I know right; it's like the feeling I had from Your Lie in April anime where Kousei started playing again.
*Our
アルペジオからグリッサンドやスケールまで全てのメロディが洗練されている…これ程までに綺麗なアニソンアレンジは聴いたことが無い
ギルティクラウンの曲はいいですよねぇ。もう一つの方も歌詞とかとくに心に刺さります。
I can feel the deep weight of your piano arrangement. I really love your performance and arrangement. Forever, Animenz!!
Thank you! I also wish you the best for your future piano journey!
When I was in your age...Nevermind>.< I failed as an Asian
@@brankye517 if you failed as an asian then what am I
Oof, when Animenz uses the premiere function. He gave me a heartattack. Usually I am pretty early to his vids
Blank On Discord I will use the premier function for all my upcoming videos now. I will announce it 24 hour prior to the publishing time
Thank you for these 10 years--我也感谢这十年有你。谢谢你十年来都在坚持做这件事情，让我也想要像你第一天刚开始一样尝试去做自己想做的事，自己很需要勇气抛弃原本有的一切去做的事。这个世界没你的话我的世界真的会无趣很多，你的音乐真的很美好，每次听都是直达人的内心，谢谢这个世界有你的存在，谢谢。
A no ma, si te entiendo
真的好打動人心！原來動漫可以與古典這麼契合！不只十年，是歷久彌新，每聽到一次就是感動一次！請繼續給我們帶來更多好聽的音樂！
對啊
Legitimately can’t even comprehend a reason as to why someone would dislike this.
I’ve followed you for 7 years now, Animenz.
I love you and am always happy to see more. Like many, you’re the whole reason I started piano. I found you, then quickly found tehishter and others, then it was an undying flame since I discovered you. Thank you for your contribution in finding my passion.
Some hate guilty crown.
Some are just haters/dumb.
Some just missed clicked because of tears.
Nah... they just can't see the like button with tears on their eyes
I cannot hold my tears"_" animenz really you are the best pianist for me"_".. I am not even kidding, because of you I starting giving time to my piano... Your pieces changes me as a person..Thanks for a decade happiness..(I cry now)
Damn, why do I feel like a journey just ended and said "thank you" to me.
He's retiring
@@hairglowingkyle4572 woah hold up what
same here...
The feelings while hearing this new arrangement and reading the description of this video at the same time is too damn strong :'(
you missed the opportunity to say "My dearest watchers"
Glad I found your channel and I always enjoy your music. Thank you, too, for making these videos :)
Thank you for gracing Kaohsiung with your performance, especially for sharing the touching story behind "My Dearest," which truly struck a chord with the audience and added even more significance to this song.
Your music has been a constant companion throughout every stage and phase of my life, and I will continue to support you. I eagerly anticipate the wonderful melodies you'll bring to the world in the future.
It was a magical evening, and I look forward to your next visit to Taiwan～
This was an incredible arrangement, I like it better than your old one because your playing is a lot cleaner in this video, I'm really looking forward to your 2020 videos.
I hope to be able to play like you one day because you are the pianist that inspired me to start playing piano in the first place and to even started my own channel!!
I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you for watching my videos ever since! Really happy to hear that I inspired you to create your own channel. I just subscribed to it :D
no shit, i'm crying.
this moved me to tears. this song is my favorite OP and this rendition is just... wow. i'm speechless.
and as an incoming music student in conservatory (I'll be taking Music Education - Emphasis on Violin), i felt demotivated recently that i am unable to practice and this cover gave me a new surge of motivation.
you're amazing.
thank you.
Anyone here after that 11th anniversary tribute video?? Man that version of My Dearest is giving me goosebumps. Best of luck for Animenz in 2021 and cant wait to see your next masterpiece.
Where? I can't find it, could u gv the link please
@@blackweiwei you can just type "animenz 11th anniversary" on youtube. Its made by the anime pianist community and its one of the craziest piano project I've seen so far.
I actually found this song through the animenz 11th anniversary collab o: This song really is amazing and it really does give you the feels!
I thought i was the only one got goosebumps
"How long have I been waiting? Centuries? Millennia?"- Taiju, Dr Stone.
This is exhilarating!
I have loved you for hundreds... thousands of years...
Aaaaah stop im crying
Damn. Can't believe it's been two years already.
3:03 this part is so beautiful 😭
I can't believe how much I've grown since I've seen this anime and heard this the first time. I'm getting memories back from middle school and how much my life has changed for the better. I can't believe how much has happened in 6 years and this reminded me of the person I wanted to be back then and I'm glad how I am now. Despite dealing with Corona and all of its effects to my daily life I can still be happy thanks to anime and music.
This song truly is amazing. There aren't many thungs i can say about it that will ever truly do it justice ,everything from the playing to the song itself its truly an incredible display of passion. The skill in arranging it alone is an amzing ideas using so many techniques that arent normally used and then to play them all with perfect playing, from the dynamics to the fingerings, the voicing, the emotion, its all perfect. I dont think i can say how much this song would affect me. I cant say enough about animenz and his beautiful playing, but i hope you can hear from me its realize it how truly amazing it is.
Guilty Crown has such a beautiful soundtrack, hearing it as a piano version really makes it feel different again, but in a very very good way. The show is so underappreciated
100black towers yeah feel diffrent as always rewatch gc
Me: A youtube description wouldn't make me cry
The description on this video:😭😭😭😭😭
I just imagine people who were struggling to learn My Dearest from 2013 and when this video was uploaded their reaction must have been « time to learn it again »
that's me haha
Austin Cureton May the piano god bless you
The amount of kind comments in this comment section is overwhelming, so let me add another one.
Thanks for everything you've done in these years, i've always loved all of your arrangements.
Saitama : *strongest man alive
Animenz's pinky finger : Hold my beers
Fun fact: you can hear the sound of animenz’s piano’ pedal when you put on ear pieces
One of the most legendary arrangements by Animenz ever....
Your first “My Dearest” video was the first video I ever saw from this channel
I fell in love with your playing with that one video
Hearing such beautiful and emotional playing of a beautiful and emotional song that’ll always mean so much to me, I knew I’d found something special
Thanks so much for everything. Sometimes it’s still the smaller things that can really mean something to someone, and I’m so thankful that even just watching some youtube videos from you have given me so much happiness over the years, and I’m always going to treasure that happiness
Thank you
My Dearest was my "gateway" to become an anime pianist. I am glad to hear that you also loved that song! Thank you for listening to my arrangements!
I've heard your first version so many times, the changes you've made make me tear up. Time does fly by doesn't it
I'm in tears. You astound me every time Animenz, now back to practicing.

すごすぎて、、言葉が出てこないです
めちゃめちゃ、感動しました。
11 years later who could've known that those old recordings of you simply playing piano aggressively and taking on a challenge for yourself would be held as the best anime pianist by many people. For the past 7 years of me following this channel through multiple accounts, I'm thankful.
I've always aspired to play piano ever since I encountered this channel and I've yet to make that dream come true but hopefully someday, I'll be able to take up the piano and play as beautifully as you.
It is something truly beautiful. Thank you.
Which anime character is in your profile picture?
Hearing this not just brings back memories of the anime, but the memories of watching animez play these songs in a spectacular fashion.
You are not just the best anime pianist or our era but you definitely are one of the best pianist and composer overall.
this song holds so much memories. i always play this song on my way home during college. it's been years. i feel like crying.
I remember when this video first came out. I turned on the same song I'd listened to to fall asleep for years, and didn't think twice, but then suddenly it was different. I shot up to check my phone to make sure I selected the right one, but it was this!
The last part, starting from 7:01 till the end, sounded to me like you expressing utmost gratitude through this song. Of course, you already mentioned that yourself in the description, but I just wanted to say:
Yes, it reached me. It reached us.
I actually cried listening to it. So it really reached us.
Thank you too, Animenz!
Felt like it started from 6:00 though I know that was in the original arrangement as well.
This should be interesting. After 10 years worth of amazing melodies. Let’s see how Animenz chooses to kick off 2020. Been listening to this guys work for years now. Never disappoints.
I swear I can just spend hours sitting and watching this man play the piano. It just gives me so much peace.
People have comfort streamers.
I have a comfort pianist ❤️
4 years later and I still come back to watch this video all the time from start to finish (plus 20 rewinds to hear my favourite parts again) Master Class!!
ピアノ聴いてると心が綺麗になる気がします、感動して涙出ました。これからも楽しみにしています。
0:59 favorite part, the transition is just too smooth.
This will always be my favorite among your numerous tracks/covers despite all of them being amazing. Thanks for sharing your talents to us for these 10 years.
Although I'm kinda late to the party, I just want to say I regret not clicking this video earlier. I knew about your cover back in 2020 and started listening to you daily since early this year. However, there's this cover that I'm always hesitant to click on, bc I've never heard the original before.
About 2 weeks ago, I was bored and I didn't know what to do, so I decided to give it a try. And I would say, this is one of the most beautiful piano arrangements I've listened. The amount of attention to even the smallest details makes me overflowed with emotion. I even shed tears on the 3:08 part (which I never did once when listening to piano) :grinning_face_with_sweat: . And now I listen to this song everyday, each time recognizing more and more new details. Congratulations for the 2 million subscriber milestone recently and I hope you can create more covers in the future
👌
色んな方々のピアノアニソンの中で引き方？が1番好きです。
強弱といいますか、心がこもってる感じと、高音を使いこなしてる感じが堪らんです👍
作品の愛が伝わります！
I was practicing piano for around 6 years, and I wasn't very passionate about it. Actually I dropped it for different reasons, but one day I watched Your lie in april and something started to shine again inside me. I found your arrangement of the OP. And something changed, I actually bought a complete piano and started playing again. This was 3/4 years ago and now I continue playing. Not much unfortunatelly, but when I do is for genuine love to music.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to come back
This is what every new year should feel like.
Reading the comments while listening to this really takes you back hard
This may sound weird but while I was throwing up cause I drank to much i listened to your songs and they helped me to calm down.For me this is the proof that Animenz can cure every sickness and bad feelings
SO EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME WHOLE IMA KIMI NI SASAGEYYOUUUUU
(I dont understand how you can dislike this bruh its literally impossible it has to just be some random haters or people that were groovin too hard.)
Did anything happened ???!! Can anyone explain??!! Seems like smtg had been going on yrs ago
4:14 gave me such vibes. I love your music and i like to see what your heart desires on earth and finding a passion, Dont stop what your doing and keep looking forward, I think your music brings towards young peoplr into playing the piano, I know im late on this, but, ill be there for the next yeared anniversary and having hope it will be a good year.
Mindblowing. Amazing. I listened to that song already like about 50 times, then I deleted it to not hear it too much. And now after more than one year of not listening it anymore it has a much bigger positive impact than ever before. That's a real stunner Piano Piece of you
4:37 is my favorite part, and i don't know why, it just sounds so good
I wasn't ready to get teary eyed today, but thank you, I'm so happy you're here.
You have been an inspiration for me, on a personal and musical level. One day, I hope that I can push forward the way you have.
Seriously, thank you. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for this channel, or your heartfelt messages that you add with your videos. Thank you, so much.
My uncle died today, and your music is helping me stay calm and don't collapse completely, thank you :)
Animenz is one of the only two youtubers that I feel compelled to support anyway I can. His dedication and beauty is amazing even down to me being able to listen to the music while youtube is minimized and even providing his transcription on some vids. You are what the people of the world need to aspire to be like
OH MY GOD ! MY BODY IS READY
I've been a fan since 2012, this makes me nostalgic
I hadn't realized it'd been so long.
The realization, looking back and remembering when I saw the first video and all the time that'd past brought tears to my eyes.
I've not cried in a very, very long time. I needed that, so thank you.
This is one of the all time greats as far as piano arrangements go.
Three years ago I came across your first version of 'my dearest' and to me, it was probably the most inspiring video I've ever seen. I listened to nothing but your videos for months and eventually you were the reason I started playing the piano. I'm not aspiring to become a professional pianist or something, I just do it because I love it. Thanks for helping me discover my love for playing. Oh and this version is absolutely beautiful by the way :)
I just acquired the best set of headphones I've ever had and can hear the keys being pressed and lifted. A truly magical experience that brought a tear to this old mans eyes.
This is the most beautiful piano piece I have ever heard.
これは私が今まで聞いた中で最も美しいピアノ曲です
I remember way back 2 years ago, I was studying and reviewing for my upcoming licensure examination and I had to refrain myself from watching animes to help me focus. But to compensate that, I listen to his covers! It became my study music ever since and now I still hold that license. Ever thankful. Ever the best. Ever timeless, Animez. Love from Philippines!
やはり、ここに戻ってくるよ

OMG! the ending brought tears to my eye's so much more than any other rendition of this song. Dude...Nothing and I mean NOTHING!!! Compares to what you do!
