After waiting almost 9 years for the continuation of Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, the fourth and final movie has finally been released in Japanese Cinemas! I went to see the movie a few days ago and it brought satisfying conclusion to the Evangelion Saga. I hope it gets an international release very soon, so Eva fans all over the world can watch it too!
But before I talk about the movie any further, let’s have a look at this week’s piano arrangement of 「One Last Kiss」. It is hard to believe, but this song actually consists of only two harmonic progression patterns, which is repeating itself over and over again. If I had to use one word to describe the mood of this song, it would be "Echoes".
「One Last Kiss」 also sounds like trance music in my opinion because of all the synthesizers looping in the background. It was quite interesting to mimic the "Trance"-atmosphere on the piano by used repetition patterns. It's most noticeable during the buildup in 2:22 and in 3:09.
I also had to arrange the voicing on the piano very carefully in order to distinguish the multiple layers of music, because it can be easily "drown" the music if I add too many notes. Especially the many cross rhythms was quite difficult to play, because you have to be very precise or else the rhythms will fall easily apart. 1:41 for example was really difficult to play, because of the two overlapping rhythms in both hands.
To be honest, I still like the previous song from Hikaru Utada more -「Sakura Nagashi」 from Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo - but 「One Last Kiss」 definitely grew on me as well with each repeat. I think this piece is very suitable if you drive a car for a longer period and you need some music to vibe (笑)
Alright, that would be everything for this week! Next week is going to be another Anime Movie song, see you then!

I don't understand youtube at all, your arrangements are better than ever and from very relevant animes yet you get almost no views compared to before.
I think it's related it for being absence in a few months in UA-cam... He lost his algorithm.
@@amanoyukiteru9890 better create a million irrelevant polls (unless fixed)
It could also be on how over time, it kept getting more and more views
I don‘t understand that either. However I kinda miss the Grand Piano not that he can get one in his home tho caus I don‘t think he has enough space.
@@nama4400 it's not about space, he was taken advantage that's why he lost his grand piano.
Eva 3.0+1.0 has to be one of the most beautiful conclusions to a franchise ever
Ok, but who asked?
And yea, why are you here?

Never watched Evangelion but this song alone made me want to watch it
This is from the rebuild movies but do watch the original series and movie. They’re iconic
Most of them are on Netflix now. I watched it for the first time last year thanks to Netflix.
you bet this has the same effect on me. beautiful song
Call a therapist after EOE
@@FirstnameLastname-je8kr yh people telling me this turns me off from watching any show
I just like to go in blind
Press 3:09 if you want to see the piano turning into a synthesizer! (´・ω・`)
This piece is really fun to play, haha
just last week you were making drums, violins and e.guitar on piano. now synthesizer. you are fun listening to. thank you!
Right hand go zoom
I don't get how this has as many views as it does, it deserves more. And I agree 100% about it being fun to play, I can't play piano, but it's fun to hit the play button and listen. Can confirm.
Delizioso❤
Animenz: touch the piano
Me: beautiful!
;)
Animenz: stands next to a piano
Me: *standing ovation*
To Hideaki Anno : Thank you.
To Neon Genesis Evangelion : Farewell.
To all NGE fans : Congratulations.
Definitely one of the best written stories ever.
Also one of the only animes where the CGI was good - it was deliberately unnatural, instead of trying to blend in with the artwork.
Geez, this song gives me nostalgia. Will miss Evangelion
@@gevitar04 It also makes the scene more scarier , like it was supposed to be
@@boii_xd kinda made it feel out of this world
i mean it was technically out of this universe lol
@@gevitar04 Imagine seeing that in real life
@@boii_xd seeing a giant CGI-lookin white head irl? i'd say my prayers
Man, the voicing control is absolutely off the charts with this one. Even though the original doesn't provide much melodic variation in itself, the nuance that Animenz applies allows each individual voice to stand on its own and echo brilliantly. And of course the signature Hikaru Utada tonal color is clear as day.
For some reason, this cover makes me remniscent of Animenz' Unbeatable Network cover from several years ago. Perhaps it's the similar color of the chords or the groovy atmosphere.
Definitely a fun one to groove along to at any time of day. Fantastic cover!
Ah, Unbeatable Network! I almost forgot about this Gatchaman Crowds arrangement, haha. Indeed, both songs features an extensive electronic sound and I translated it to the piano.
Dang you're very good too you deserve more subs no doubt. Keep on going my g 🔥🔥
Damn, this arrangement is completely different from any other works that I've listened to from you.
Like many comments have pointed out already, it's impressive how you could balance the dynamics of multiple rhythms so well in this performance, which really gives the echoing atmosphere from the original song. I've also noticed how you kept the left-hand pattern as arpeggios instead of jumps in the final chorus which really allow the low bass to shine.
I think that's because "One Last Kiss" doesn't even sound like your typical Anime-song, haha. Normally I wouldn't arrange this type of electronic songs but since it's Anime related this time, I made an exception. And as you have mentioned, this arrangement is indeed one of the deceivingly "easy to listen, but actually hard to play" songs because of all the polyrhythms and the many sound layers in this piece.
I totally agree with you.
(Even though I barely know anything besides the fact that pianos have black and white keys)
Finally, someone puts it into words
@@Animenzzz it doesn’t sound like a normal anime song your right. It reminds me of something you’d hear from a normal artist even over here in the US. Its a song about love and farewell, nothing over-specific or too over the top. Yet at the same time it ties in perfectly, maybe because Eva has always been about trying itself into the real world in its own sort of way.
From Cruel Angel's Thesis to Tamashii no Refrain to Beautiful World and this, Evangelion Soundtrack never dissapoints
everyone asks animenz to play in his grand piano again but honestly animenzz can nail his performance in any piano😘
Did he say why he is not playing on a grand piano in his last videos ?
@@Anatole_Piano yea its about his fruad contract they have kept his grand piano but animenzz is trying his best to get it back
@@sowmyalatha8963 ho damn
I hope he will get it back
Well, Those people should create a Crowdfunding account to either take legal actions to claim his piano back, or help him to buy a new one.
Well, you guys better help funding him for Schimmel Pegasus piano.
I've listened to a lot of piano covers of One Last Kiss , this is by far the CLEANEST and most melodic one. In my opinion, this is a flawless arrangement.
Sorry, there are a lot of words in the message this time, because English is not my native language. After the translation, I don’t know if I can accurately express the feelings in my heart, so although I am very shy and uneasy (almost 95% of the comment area is English), I am also very worried that Animenz does not understand my message. It is possible that this small voice will be ignored in the hundreds of messages, but this is my true voice as a devoted fan.
When I saw the song MV for the first time, I deeply felt that this song was really only the singer Utada Hikaru can control this song. In the background atmosphere of blurred and flowing electronic sound, her transparent voice has a unique ending vibrato. , Fascinating and flexible rhythm, intertwined with synthetic sound effects into a kind of echo, making it impossible to stop listening in a loop.
However, it feels unimaginable that it can be adapted by a piano, and Animenz has actually completed an amazing performance! As soon as I received the message notification from the channel’s first broadcast, I couldn’t wait to click on the video (I didn’t browse the description article in the introduction column at the time), and I felt a heartbeat throbbing; the piano sound under the ten-finger flipping not only showed electronic sound The sense of blur and echo, and even the level of control of Animenz’s level of difficulty is no less than that of Utada Hikaru. Using deep singing skills to control this song, which does not seem to have ups and downs, only the theme keeps going back and forth. In fact, more emphasis is on the taste of a Japanese said "雰囲気 "~
In short, thank you Animenz for bringing this adaptation that is completely comparable to the original song!
I thought Marasy nailed the rhythms of this song but, oh man, Animenz is really on another level. Especially during the second and third chorus and the crescendo. I thought it would be difficult to pick whose arrangement I like best, because there are so many great ones already(Canacana, Marasy, Ru's, and Keichan's to name a few). But Animenz really comes out on top as always for me.
I think it's really no surprise Animenz would cover this. This has been the number 1 song in Japan for weeks nows(Although I doubt it's number 1 anymore because NiziU released something new recently).
We really need a medley with Beautiful World, One Last Kiss, Cruel Angel Thesis, Fly me to the Moon, and Sakura Nagashi!
Don't forget Komm Susser Tod and Tamashii no Refrain!
I’d love to see everything you’ve ever dreamed
@@Auro_- seconding “everything you’ve ever dreamed” so underated
❤❤grazie mille😢
0:09 Ah, those dynamics in right hand are incredible! Sounds like you turn on "echo" sound effect
Didn’t expect Animenz to play this, really happy he did, I’m soo happy! Glad to be an Animenz and Evangelion fan! :D
Each diminuendo you do is like an echo coming from a distance, and it is so delicate and elegant. Bravo, Animenz!
Spot on! His pressure control is just incredible
YESSSS! I never thought that Animenz would arrange this song, I'm so excited!!! > -
Yes 👍
Same
Yezzir! He brought the heat! Btw... *NYANPASU* lmao
Watching Animenz play is a form of ASMR
Blasted this looped on full volume for three days in a row now-
I love this! A masterful arrangement as always
This by far has to be my favorite arrangement by you it has such good flow and I'm so glad you made it.
Going to rewatch this many times, Animenz covers are simply something else
Did not expect a video from you today!
Did not expect this arrangement!
Stunning performance as expected!
Thanks for this arrangement! ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻
Your arrangements make my soul cry. Thats how good they are.
Every one of your covers is truly a work of art
I was just blown away with how beautiful he delivered the piece. It literally just healed my ears through how good it sounded. Thank you Animenz, you really are an inspiration for many
Best cover of this song so far. 👌
It's great to hear a musician who can translate the natural push and pull of a song.
i love this arrangement so much, even though i lack knowledge in music theory, but i can sense the strong emotions from the rhythm and the tempo as you plays this music. Superb and immaculate
This sounds super cool! Love the echo effect that this arrangement brings!
Absolutely one of my favorite videos you've ever made. The dynamics and little details you added throughout make this incredible. Thank you for sharing this with us
2 years ago, my friend recommended me to watch NGE, I loved it, then I discovered the rebuild series and I was in awe so waited for this final part and kept myself from watching clips/ost/covers (including this xD) that is related to rebuild series.
Now that I have finished all of the evangelion 5 minutes ago (which somehow I cried to that ending), I can now enjoy this cover.
Thanks animenz!
Dynamic control in this performance is one of the best I've ever seen. 1:12
I listened to this over a dozen times but it still feels amazing as I first heard this! Well done my good sir and wish you all the best
これほど宇多田ヒカルの世界観とエヴァの狂気感が再現されてるピアノはないと思う、、
I've completely fallen in love with the original song, and this cover, oh boy, it's fantastic.
Animenz is always pulling off the best way he can just for our enjoyment and entertainment. Thank you so much!
本当についさっき観てきたところです！！
幸せ…
I like seeing him make this keyboard sing. Drives home to people they do not need a grand piano to make good jams.
I have not yet finished going through all of Animenz's works. I add the ones I like that have cropped up in my trends to a playlist and listen to them over and over as I read or do other things.
This arrangement brings out memories I didn't know I have. Made me teary and emotional but also hopeful for what to comes next. This piece is so magical, kinda sad to be left by the Evas but happy to have been given this song and this cover.
This has been one of my favorite arrangements by you to listen to recently. Something about 0:58-1:22 is especially fascinating to me. Definitely good driving or work music! Thanks so much!
Holy crap, this is one hell of an arrangement man!!!
It has this a little dreamy, almost magical vibe to it, really draws you in before you know it!
I can only say that I love this song the first time I heard it, and you are able to capture the essence of this song almost if not perfectly. The dynamics and everything all together. All the little details you put in there. It's very brilliant yet probably one of the best anime piano arrangements out there for sure. Thank you for making such an amazing arrangement.
That build up towards the end was absolutely gorgeous.
Another amazing arrangement. I have this on repeat 24/7
it is the best piano version I have ever listened
I was drawn into your performance.
The echoy parts and the multiple performances are incredibly beautiful.
It feels so refreshing come back here and listen to your amazing arrangements
I amazed loved the echo technic with keys he did from 0:10 to 0:12 and every time he repeat that during the song!
Almost finished the series, now moving into the movies, incredibly excited. Once again, great arrangement
bro, you experieced something great, and didn't had to wait, you are lucky in one way.
I keep coming back and I’m still so mesmerized with how beautiful you play this song
Amazing!! The variation in intensity is what makes this song since the chords pretty much remain the same all the way through, you captured those ups and downs so good, thanks for recording it, this song and movie had an impact on me, I hope they did on you too
You playing the piano in such beautiful ways brings warmth to me. Keep playing! It's truly a wonderful gift to hear this music.
Oh my gosh, I never thought you'd do a cover for this! I've had the original song on repeat since it first came out. The song is so addictive and it's a perfect ending for the Evangelion series. So many feelings whenever I hear this song and now this piano version will also be part of it as well. Like you say this is a very good driving song, I find the upbeat of it very fitting for the end even though I haven't seen the film. Let the series end with a brighter song than the usual sadness associated with the series.
I had no idea a song of this style could be pulled off so convincingly & flawlessly on just solo piano, hats off to Animenz
Never watched evangelion or listened to this song before you covered it. Since you posted it, I’ve watched the show and the movies, and when this song came on, I was both blown away from what I just watched and amazed at how well you were able to capture the intensity of the song and the series it reflects in your arrangement.
Wow thats so realxing, i could listen to this all day
So happy to see Hikaru Utada to be making music again. Aimer and Utada needs to have a collaboration!
從0:10開始就起雞皮疙瘩了....
每次聆聽都會為了這樣令人驚豔的琴技感嘆不已
This arrangement is so divine!
大ファンアニメンズ本当にアレンジが素晴らしかった 。これからもいい結果を出し続けてください。( BTW still learning Japanese sorry if there are any mistakes.)
Damn this piece seems so technical and precise. So many things I didn't realise was possible on piano in one piece, amazing playing!
animenz is truly a god. man this arrangement is so diverse
Goodbye Evangelion, you will be missed. We will never let this series die.
Wow what an arrangement and performance 👍
OH MY GOD ANIMENZ!!!!!! I never thinked about this music!!! Thank you so much for all! So much hype, ahahahaha!
This was absolutely beautiful.
Incredibly striking and breathtaking as usual !
Oh my God those repeating figures on the right hand sounds amazing. The sheer control you're able to exhibit is incredible.
Before I started this video, I thought this piano cover would be somewhat plain because One last kiss has a lot of repeating notes. But to my surprise, you did such a good job and I can feel the waving of emotions in the music! This is definately going to be a repeating track on my playlist
Thank you Animenz!!!
As always, it’s beautiful.... the delicate sound of the first few seconds already got to me and the way everything was build up was simply amazing, thank you sir
This was amazing Animenz
Amazing!!! The part from 3:10 was my favorite. Looking forward to next week
By now, I have already listened to all piano arrangements of this song, and this version, animenz version is by far the best among all. It is the one that make me feel the same emotions I felt when listening the original, and even make me feel something more, this arrangement was made with passion and dedication. It has something especial so I can't stop keep listening to this... Thanks animenz you are really and inspiration for me.
... I'm sorry if I did some grammar mistakes my mother language isn't English. Greeting from México...!
Bro es bellísima esta obra, es impresionante el manejo, dulzura, pasión y sobre todo, las emociones y sentimientos que puede transmitir, honestamente es de mis favoritos, saludos desde EdoMex jajajajaja!!! Pd: I would love to see the sheet music u.u
@@joaquinandre240 siii, a mi tambien me gustaría tener la partitura, saludos desde Querétaro! Xd
Didn't even feel like I was listening to a piano. Crazy that you can recreate sounds like these so accurately
this is incredible. i've been watching you for so long and the high quality never stops. keep it up :)
the whole evangelion soundtrack + animenz's arrangements never fail to impress me
I cried like three times but this is fine
this cover is a masterpiece
Every piece is a Master piece in your hands bro. Please do never stop your amazing work!
Thanks again Animenz! Always like reading your descriptions to see what you really think of the song you are playing, it gives me some perspective since I don't play piano.
After listening to some other covers, consciously trying to compare and contrast from a composition point of view, I suddenly realised something that is very unnoticed and not often mentioned in terms of performance- you have thoughtful, contrasting, INTERESTING pedalling. Of course your careful and thoughtful chord voicing, balance compositionally are huge, but I just was struct suddenly by this realisation! Your pedalling never feels boring. Never a blur, always there’s a clarity where it needs to. That cleanses and freshness of the first best drop in the original song truly feels represented here in your cover. Truly with this I feel the same trance like magic I loved the original song for! I repeatedly watched and listened to that part of the trailer before the full song was out! Everywhere else I heard continuous homogeneous pedalling. Here I heard crisp, intentional, punchy no-pedal sounds. I hear clarity, I hear class, I hear intention in your pedalling. Amazing.
Placement of your pedalling isn’t just about connecting or getting the “prettier” piano sound. You truly play the piano as a whole instrument. Animenz you really are a great musician.
One of the biggest thing I found surprising after entering into the Conservatorium here in Melbourne was how much time my teacher spent on fingering and pedalling. Like many other people I always pedalled intuitively minus some specific uses. I thought I’d “moved on “ from the “basics”. Turns out they aren’t basics, not even “foundations”. they’re pillars. Animenz it feels like you have extended your senses pianistically to your whole composition and performance and you have these huge pillars supporting you. It’s not rare among professional classical pianists I suppose but it feels like so on the anime piano cover community. Here I get to hear finesse. Reminds of the coming together of “pop” and “classical”, it’s like we’re in music history class! It’s not an overstatement I don’t think to say we’re witnessing a piece of history here. Bless you Animenz.
Your cover of cruel angels thesis lives in my mind rent free. So thank you for this too. My favorite franchise
I could clearly see that this arrangement requires good power control, to draw contrasts between notes and notes. It sounds relaxing with simpler patterns. Very interesting arrangement! And also, I am wondering what would it be like if this arrangement is combined with the building where you recorded Nagi no Asukara medley since both arrangements require more dynamic control and emotions rather than in terms of difficult techniques. And some parts have successfully reminded me of your Tamashii no Refrain arrangement as well.
I increased the reverb for this video this time compared to my previous video. Did you notice that?
@@Animenzzz yes! Nice adjustment
@@Animenzzz Did you use the internal sounds on the Nord Grand or did you use a VST-instrument, and if so. What VST-instrument did you use? Asking for a friend.
Wow I am so ecstatic that someone else is remembering that medley. The melody that comes out of this piece is outstanding, Grand piano + Reverb.
Your playing is masterpiece
100% confirmed this arrangement is legendary!
this is the most incredible jpop piano arrangement ive ever heard
beautiful rendition of this song
God arrangements like these make me want to get off my desk and play the piano! Thanks for being such an inspiration!
U got sheet or you olaying by ear
Man this arrangement is just crazy. Every time I come back to your channel you just remind me of how awesome and unique you are. Thank you for covering this song. I love it so much. Hopefully one day you'll do Sakura Nagashi too! Can't help but agree that I still like that one better. I wish I could learn to play this, but I haven't played in so long and I was never very good.
There you are sat in a cinema seat as a story you have been emotionally invested in for 20+ years comes to a close, the credits roll in and you hear this song. What a excellent use of music by the director to throw the viewer a life vest before they down under the weight of their conflicting emotions. It truly is a beautiful end to the saga.
😆素晴らしいです✨✨
作品への愛が溢れています💗
ありがとうございます…とてもとても嬉しいです💫💫
I was hoping so hard that you would arrange and cover this. You made my wishes come true!
This has to be the most emotional music has made me lately. Thank you for this beautiful piece, your talent and hard work will always leave me in awe :)
I swear this guy is such a legend
Omg..the skill you use the emotion that you performed always amazed me 🥰
the series was quite the trip for me and the movie brought a satisfying ending to the series. I really enjoyed it! This cover is amazing too
すごすぎ…解説まであって豪華すぎ…
This is so good! I'm glad you're back. I used to listen to your covers a lot back in high school; I don't know why I was never subscribed, but I am now!
by far the best piano cover on youtube, prolly everywhere
Never heard this song, but nice arrangement. I really like the echoes and voices you added.
Im currently practicing your attack on titan (main theme OST) cover you did 7 years ago after your music theory exam. its amazing xD, thanks for arranging it ❤️.
Have fun practicing this piece! And don't panic too much at the fast left hand arpeggios at the end!
Yeah the chromatic left hand technique at the beginning is very creative! Imagining the chromatic runs as an “approaching titan” makes it much more fun xD. And that part after the trill at “2:09” is just amazing!
The arpeggios at the end seem a bit hard, but I think i can nail them with time and practice.
Thanks for replying
@@Animenzzz I finished it!! The ending is not perfect but it’ll get better with time :)
Can’t believe this was 7 months ago !
Time sure passes by fast these days
Beautiful as always.
