I was really shocked when seeing someone can play the Animenz cover that accurate. You really inspired me to practice (specially to better at jumping). By the way, I love your camera setting showing your pedal and really good sound quality ❤️ *Sorry for my bad English 😅
@ lol also this is my dream song. My current level is at liebestraum. Do you have any tips or advices or guides? Think i shouldnt approach this piece too early
@@artorias11 Liebestraum to this is quite a stretch. I actually have a hard time trying to think of a classical piece that can serve as an etude for this. This piece is truly non-classical. If you have a good habit of keeping things “clear”, you can try this piece. For me, the notes are fine. It’s the stamina requirement that’s off the chart. Need to push your arm’s tolerance beyond the limit.
@artorias11 classical music trains different things its more about articulation and dynamics while animenz is more about voicing and playing the techniques. I legit feel panicked when I play animenz lol
@ the animenz ladder I’m currently planning on climbing is Avid, WILL, Sparkle, tbd , Sincerely (my favorite), and the rest I have no idea but I would want to do this one and bios years down the road. I’ve only been playing piano for about 10 months self taught so progress has been going good so far. Thank you for your videos.
Really impressive!!OMG.I really love your recording.It's very clean!! I do practice this arrangement once, but i get stuck at 1:25 and never thought to re-learn it again. Your tutorial is my life-savor.I think when i'm done with Sincerely, I'll stick to it again:))
Yes, this is the final recording. Channel members get pre-release access this time. Other than Animenz himself, I can’t find any other recording remotely close to this. Other than some unfortunate mistakes, this is almost an overkill.
for how hard this piece is, your speed and accuracy is so impressive. people who have the ability and patience to practice animenz pieces are truly something else
This was super impressive❤ Was really curious how will you deal with those 9ths and 10ths at 1:26 and it sounded amazing! This.... I just don't have the courage to try this piece, so I improvise my own version instead. The rhythm of Crying For Rain is really hard to get it right, and I wonder whether I should split the beat into 8th note or use a metronome.... Maybe both?
@@lightbulbDDP Once it “clicks” it does become easier. But before that, it’ll remain super difficult. Ultimately this piece is about learning how to max out your stamina.
@@ifritsrealm That’s the embarrassing part. When I play, the more difficult it is the more you’ll see my lip movements. That’s the uncontrollable part. A lot of times I do “count”, but in this case it’s just lack of coordination between hands and lips.
@ no need to be embarrassed! I was just curious. I have my fair share of uncontrollable things that I do or faces that I make while playing 😂just happy to be with the piano.
Damn, i was so confused at the beginning if i was actually hearing animenz's spirio or you haha. So similar playing and also the sound too. Truly a magnificent performance. (Why doesnt my garritan cfx sound like this?🗿 it just ends up glitching or sm) Having almost cleared unravel very well in my latest release, i think i'll have to move on to correct my kawaki wo ameku haha. Maybe some day
@@pierrotzzz that’s why I use PianoTeq for live feedback. Garritan is too glitchy. I use it for final offline conversion only. You are quite talented. Being able to bring those pieces to the level I’m hearing, on your own. That’s good stuff man.
@@RichardYangPiano haha thank you! I'm assuming you're talking abt my latest unravel, and ngl I'm kinda lil proud of it too haha😁 I switched to pianoteq too for my unravel, but your idea is so goated. Imma start doing the same from the next time. Thanks for the tip! Also appreciate the kind words👀
I was gonna post this cover soon too but u beat me to it LOL. Althought I am still struggling with accuracy issues in the second chorus and tempo issues in the finale ;-;
I probably set the bar pretty high. Haha. In theory you should have an easier time with the finale than I, your fingers are long enough that the final jumps shouldn’t stress you out as much. When I have to open up to an octave chord, having the index finger at the “2” position causes like instant death to my arms. I can barely reach 9th, and my fingers are way too short. I practiced at a bit faster than this to eventually tough it out. This piece is a stamina drainer.
@@RichardYangPiano You really did! Frankly my technique isn't good compared to yours because I never really enjoyed piano before I found Animenz Unravel 6 months ago but you are right with the finale because I struggle more with accuracy than stamina there. How long did u spend practicing this piece btw?
@@randomgamer9015 To play most of the parts other than the final jump, a couple of months touch time. I added another week to tough out and build stamina to make it to the end.
@ also, it’s on and off. This was very difficult. When I hit a wall, I would park the piece for a while. When I pick up again, there was usually some automatic improvement that somehow happened in the background.
@@RichardYangPiano Ah, glad to see this piece is taking time for you too. I learned it for a month or so and I took a two month break from it due to not much progress. Great playing from you though!
@@bebigorl The touch time was definitely months. Normal Animenz is usually a couple of weeks. That’s how difficult this was. If someone could give me some pointers early on, could’ve learned much faster. But I had to figure everything out on my own.
@@anhminhnguyenquang3693 A LOT. If you’re a beginner, Animenz is not the right stuff. If you try to tough it out, you’ll lose the chance of ever being able to play. Bad muscle memory will become your worst enemy.
@@RichardYangPiano sure it will, i'm not goin to dive directly to that:D. But can you specify the amount of time you praticed the piano for reference?. Thanks a lot
Hello Richard It’s me again😂, I have a question regarding piano, although I’m still considered a beginner I want to know how I can practice in say to help me pick up songs fast, for example you are able to ply most of animnz songs decently in about 1 or 2 weeks which is very impressive, although how do you practice so that you pickup the songs fast let’s say I’m learning something more simple, how would I try to get the rhythm, the notes and theory down ? How should I think approaching a new piece even if it is simple in a way to help me learn it fast (let’s say simple song in 2 days 😂😂 or harder one in 2 weeks ) Sorry for the long message but I just don’t know how to explain what I’m asking I hope you understand what I mean 😂😂
@@Justmewapiano it’s all about your sight reading skills, which comes with experience. Before you get there, the best thing you can do is to stare at the sheet while listening to the recording and try to convince yourself what you’re listening to is what you’re looking at. This is especially helpful on figuring out the rhythm, which I personally do.
@@RichardYangPianoso true, i come from a clasically trained background and sight reading is huge. Also when we know the song well like u said with recording, its easy to pick up things 🎉
@ My background is classical as well. I’d say the advantage is that in difficult classical repertoire, bluntly put, there are way more notes. So in theory we’ve been trained to read more notes.
Is the lesson gonna come out to non-members a few weeks later or is it staying paywall?? Follow up question, are future lessons gonna be like that as well?
I’m keeping the popular ones like this, Gurenge, Idol, etc as member-only. I’ll still release piano lessons for the regular Animenz stuff.

@ yup this is the first video I’ve seen from you. I’m happy UA-cam recommended it!
Honestly; I dont understand anything in Piano; but I loved to listen it, Thank you.
Definitely impressive accuracy at that tempo. Animenz uses the whole keyboard for this one. My brain would be fried if I ever attempted it.

Thank you so much Richard, pls keep going your tutorials saved my ass, my technique was so bad and your tutorials help me overcome that 😂
