The long awaited piano cover is finally here!
Hikaru Nara by Goose House!
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (your lie in April) is definitely one of the best anime series of this fall anime season 2014, and of course, I am not missing out the awesome OP song as well!
Initially I wanted to make a very sophisticated and virtuosic "piano fantasy about a theme of a classical music anime" - transcription, because it fits quite well with the classical music topic of the anime.
I attempted to integrate the Schumann piano concerto in A-major with Hikaru Nara (and changing the time signature from 4/4 to 3/4), but I gave up the idea halfway, since it didn't sound very good.
That's why I started from the scratch again and made a slower, "ballad-version" instead. I took the main motif from the chorus and created many "original passages" - mosty noticeable in the beginning part and the build-up transitions before the chorus.
This piano version of Hikaru Nara is also more melancholic than the original upbeat Hikaru Nara song by Goose House, because of the slow beginning and slow ending.
I think, you could regard this as a "summary" of my transcription activity of this year. The first piano medley with sheets, (Nagi no asukara), the first piano cover with "classical ending" (owari no sekai kara), the first live concert in three major asian cities (animenz live!) .... I had many firsts this year and I gained a lot of valuable experiences.
It was truly a fantastic year for me.
Therefore:
Thank you, everyone, for your support!
I wouldn't have come so far without your valuable feedback!
ー( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
Last but not least, this is also my final transcription for this year.
I will return next year again, as usual, when the new anime season starts.
Well then, I hope you enjoyed the "ballad" version of Hikaru Nara!
See you again!
Animenz

3 things that can make me cry:
1. Kaori's letter..
2. Sad Music
3. Cramped leg
What if all 3 happened at the same time...
I might die
+Yuira - Kun I have a cramp that's even worse than leg cramp. The section above my throat and under my chin...
Yeah I know, it sounds weird, but it hurts so much, I can't even open my mouth :p
Cramp and Stiches hurts as hell
+imJo king holy shit, I tought that I was the only one who had cramp under his chin
This makes me want to rewatch the series but I don't want to suffer anymore heart damage.

I prefer the song played like this any day. This is so beautiful dude. 10/10
:O Is Kyle, hi!
***** Do you watch Shigatsu? It's a good anime! You must watch it if you haven't already! It is about a classical pianist (like us)! It is a drama story with lots of FEEELS!
Hi kyle! Nice to see you again! :D
Are you watching the anime as well? Classical music themed anime are always worth a watch!
(btw, I am a silent watcher of your twitch piano livestreams, it's always fascinating to see you improvising :3)
그것은 환상적이다
***** this is so good😢😢😢
Was I able to live inside someone’s heart?
Was I able to live inside your heart?
Do you think you’ll remember me at least a little?
You’d better not hit "reset!" Don’t forget me, okay? That’s a promise, okay?
I'm glad it’s you, after all.
Will I reach you? I hope I can reach you.
You make me cry
STOOOPPPP IT HURTS 😰😰
IT HURTSSSSSSSS STOPPPP
I cried reading this, THE FEELS IS REAL!!!
fuck my heart no im crying mehhhhhh
I can hear Kaori saying thanks for this cover...
;(
:''''''''"""""""""")
Logic 13 maybe because of all those shrooms
Jeez I read Kaori's name and thats all it takes to set me off :'(
hi im shana Your comment broke the dam to my eyes :'(
Fan theory: this is what Kousei did with his life. He became this man
I hope so
Yoo fr
I am honored to be ur 555th like.
And that's just a theory, a FAN THEORY
Yeah 😂
This anime literally changed my life. I've been playing piano since I was like 7 and it always seemed I played just because I had to. For a moment I thought like giving up because I had to do a lot of sacrifice to practice, but after watching this anime I changed completely my mind. I started to enjoy music and I realized it was very satisfying feeling the music. Now I am sure I'm going to keep playing. It reached me...
Had the very same experience, played piano at a young age, had little interest until I saw this anime. I started to love classical music and it changed my tastes ever since
Same here, it seems we are many who feel this way about music and this anime.
Yup me too. After this anime I truly started to appreciate that I was introduced to music. Now. I rly hope one day I can get to perform a Rachmaninoff concerto at least just once in my lifetime
Same here, I passed my lvl 8 practical and theory exams and was considering quitting, and ended up taking a month-long break from piano. I watched YLIA in that month, and now I'm actually looking forward to my lessons starting again. Your Lie in April really rekindled the sense of awe and wonder that I had when I was a child and started piano.
This would bring kaori a huge smile 🥺
for many people saying ''i wish i had musical talents like this omg''
you do know, he didnt just sit at a piano one day and start playing? as complex as the piece is, it may take many months, even YEARS to learn something like this. it takes real devotion, so if you just believe in yourself and know you want this and tell yourself you can, your outcome will be great! just remember everything takes time, and you can do it! :)
Yeah.. And theishter posts vids every weeks.. D;
its cause animenz has tours and concerts, and he is also studying music at a university in europe according to his website, theishter has so much more time, and animenz's arragements are much harder tbh
Same goes for drawing. People think that someone just sits there and starts drawing sketches like Da Vinci while in reality you need to spend many hours learning (many thing in many ways) to be able to draw something nice :) I really admire people who have enough determination and discipline to sit everyday and learn, hone their skills, and spend time on their passion.
👍👍👍😭
i dont knwo what im doing please dont hurt me ✌
I cried so hard when Kaori was explaining everything in her letter... Gods the feels were strong. One of the most beautiful animes in existence, probably.
+_Ravenclaw_ ❤ I love you. I love you. I love you. :'(
Clones694 nO SToP WHY ;-;
+_Ravenclaw_ ❤ Same here
SAME I CRIED SO HARD
+_Ravenclaw_ ❤ i binged the entire season i barely had anything left to cry at that point. i cried like a bitch.
This anime has given me so much to take away.
I have learned so much through this anime.
I was in a very difficult phase when I started it.
But this series has given me strength.
I started to play the piano again, because this anime showed me how much emotions are in music. I have found a connection to classical piano music and finally have the feeling that since I started playing the piano again I am made for it. Still today the piece Liebesleid by Kreisler is one of my favourite pieces.
I have probably expressed myself badly now, but I am so grateful to myself that I clicked on the first episode of the anime.
Best regards from Germany.
Hey I thought you were Italian Giorno.
Hallo, ich komme auch aus Deutschland.
Aus hückelhoven in Köln.
You mean Italy, right. *RIGHT?*
Ich hoffe dass es dir gut geht^^
SAME I ALSO LOVE LIEBESLEID. I have first three pages mastered so far. Glad to see some1 likes as much as I do.
Kaori: "what do you have to lean on?" Kousei:"i have you" Right in the feels DX
kaori..... ._.
Its been 2 years since I watched Shigatsu.. And I'm rewatching this too.
*COUGH* "i have you' "I have you" *Kousei does the glasses flash*
You lie in April is one of the reasons why am learning the piano, and am trying my best to learn the opening because I want to know at least one of the songs that inspire me into playing the piano.
Good luck! It will take a long time and a lot of practice, but for every minute you put into practicing, it pays off in the end, and you can create something beautiful.
David martinez Same here, Animenz and Theisther's piano covers inspired me to start playing the piano late last year, and I just got a 76 key keyboard. It's hella hard, but I'm going to keep practicing until I can play their covers just as good as they can.
Oh man same here. But I gave up soon after i started about ome and a half years ago. Keep going strong my dude!
This won't be an easy journey but it will be worth it! I practiced this piece for 2 months, but I have had piano courses for 2 years before.
Just enjoy the progress and I hope you're still playing
David martinez how is it so far
Kousei? Is that you? Yeap that 10/10 piano skills, it's you.
XD your pfp fits so perfectly with what your saying, like "Yep, it's defenitely him"
+Rowan Mohamed YEP HAHA it's "oh yep gotta go"
OMG THE FEELS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF SEEING THIS YOU GAVE ME THIS VISION OF KOUSEI PLAYING THIS AHHH OMG MY HEART ;-;
SHUT UP STOP
Defeniately him , also uses same piano from the anime
Really nostalgic. 6-7 years ago I self learned his piece to impress my teacher. 😂
*officially the anime that made quitted piano players start playing again*
The anime that made me buy a piano
@@ajatardracarys5659 How long did it take you to learn this song? Im thinking of learning this song but I dont play piano
@@Ethan-lx2mc firstly, it’s a piece. It depends on you how long it will take to learn it(edit: found a comment saying it took them 3 months to master it). If you’re serious about learning the instrument, i suggest you get a teacher, apps aren’t the best imo. If you’re only gonna learn it for fun, I suggest synthesia (idk if that’s how it’s spelled). Also, I think you’ve realized already, but this piece is quite hard, so you should take it slow on this one to make sure you get each bar right :)
@@mikmik6013 Woah thank you so much for the advice, I feel like I want to learn it for fun and at the same time be serious, like play fun songs like this one, and also other ones, but I want to be serious for the fun songs I want to choose for example this one. I'll try looking for a teacher since I don't have any piano experience, but I hope ill get there one day and master this piece!
@@Ethan-lx2mc You're welcome! I also really wanna learn this piece, but it's a bit too hard for my level. If you haven't watched the anime btw, you really should. I almost quite piano forever until I rewatched YLIA. I know we don't know each other, but I'll be cheering you on, good luck !!
Haha, this remembers me of the time when I started playing piano in second grade. I was forced by my piano teacher to play the pieces she knew and could play so I never got the chance to actually play what I wanted to. So after 5 years of playing I quitted and about 3 years after I quitted, I really got into anime again, I used to watch a lot anime in my childhood (Dragonball Z, One Piece, etc.), and then I figured out that I could play my favorite Anime Openings on piano to impress some friends, you know just for fun. And now I‘m playing almost every day learning new pieces everything over UA-cam. There is this one UA-camr called Amosdoll, he has to almost every Anime Opening an tutorial! But anyway now I can play many different Openings on the piano and I even learned an classical piece. Oh and Animenz was also a main factor why I started playing piano again because when I first saw his Tokyo Ghoul Unravel cover I was so impressed by it that I also wanted to impress my friends with playing Anime Openings they knew, on the piano. Well this is my „piano story“ I guess I hope you enjoyed reading it and yea bye
Dammmnn this text is long ... if someone actually reads this far, you're a LEGEND! oh yeah yeah ;)
@Flower Fantasy just know how to manipulate computer files and you should be fine
This was definitely an interesting read
Omo i was litterally the same!!!! I quit 4 about 2 years bcas i was bored for not playing wat i likeed, but then started again like u! :))))
Oh my we are Literally sharing exact same story. I was also forced to play when I was younger and then I qui. I also started to get into anime and then I saw anime so arrg. On Tokyo ghoul I was also so impressed that I started to play piano again to learn sone anime openings.
why do we all have the same backstory whattttt
"Was I able to live inside someone's heart?"
Yes, Kaori. You were able to live inside the hearts of the people in the anime world and the humans in the real world, you didn't even know existed...
Im referring to us, the humans who fell in love and cried because of Kaori...
You are everywhere😂
Kaori is a drawing..... I get what you mean but chill
Yes, we fell in love...anime is amazing
Kaori, you're not just inside Kousei's heart but ours too...
Stop my heart hurts 2 much
Their First Performance...
*Was Actually Their Last Performance*
Holy. You’re right
Sad but real tho
Juanse ikr
It was really sad for them...
Shiit. I've never seen it that way
Kousei, it reached me
Yo kaori-chan
I'm glad it did... ;-;
IM CRYING SO MUCH RN HALP
SHUT THE FUCK UP
WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME???!!!! WHY!!!!
When you’ve played the video so many times you literally memorize the comment section

lmao
Wayyy too true
But not memorize the notes. Samee
A black cat lying on the piano...
And that's all it takes for my tears to fall from my eyes...
Kaori: what about you?
What did you have in your heart?
What did you lean on?
Kousei: I have you
I have 2 hands
And then that peanuts reference

It's gonna be April in a few weeks, an April... without you
Is coming
Oh shiz
ᴀɢᴀɪɴ..
The desperation in combination with helplessness that you conveyed near the end of this piece made me cry today 7 years after. Amazing arrangement, and beautiful playing.
What I love about Kaori, is that she was always so positive. Even when times were tough, she always smiled. I have no words. This show is one of the best
OMG I just watched that amazing cover and then I was like " What's he gonna do for the last 15 secs?"
Then he closed the piano and got up. That was clever and pretty cool. *Gives pat on the back*
I'm not even being sarcastic or anything. That actually summed it up perfectly, matching the anime. That was cool.
XamaDaOtaku Rem (^O^) one-sama ^^
There were no claps tho...
Lolicon Central j
Lolicon Central You don't need the claps to let it reach her
What's nicer, he paused for a bit, as if he was hesitating, before closing the piano and getting up.
April is coming..., an April without you
STOP IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING YESTERDAY DON'T MAKE THIS ANY HARDER THAN IT IS
i think ... i think i've heard enough from you
It's May 1 now. 😂
The sentence is so sad
Actually sad and beautiful at the same time
I wish i could wipe my memory and rewatch this again just to feel my heart
Это должно быть очень больно...
I’m a Japanese junior high school student. I love goose house and this song. So I’m glad to listen to this beautiful ,exciting and unbelievable sounds!!(...sorry I cannot find appreciate word in my vocabulary. ) I cannot help thinking I wish I could play piano as you .
Thank you !!
Oh.... the English grammar is too difficult for me but I wanna speak more fluently 😂😂
well you did nothing wrong , just keep it going ! 👌 im always wanted to have a Japanese friend tho
not bad at all.
yea imo its pretty good (for a non native writer)
Keep it up! I really like Japan actually, and wishing wanna go to Japan. Maybe, just a scholarship can get me there and meet Japanese people.
That's good, keep it up and always learning!!
(Cause, actually I'm a junior high school too)
Your english is good. You are trying hard.
OH DAMNN!! So good! The dynamics contrast at just before the 2min mark was amazing :D The whole video is :D That ending tho :3
yeah, closing the lid = literally end of the journey..... for this year! :D

Holy shit I'm so proud of myself it took me just about 3 months to play this once without mistakes. My first mastered animenz song :D
nice one ! i'm gonna try to play it too soon but i'm trying to learn guren no yumyia (2 mounths and i still can't play it perfectly life sucks ;_;)
@@lefudj4236 good luck to you dude!! This one is much easier than guren no yumiya as that song is his 7th most difficult transcription (noted in his one piece we are desc box). I'd suggest learning this on the side at the same time, its nice and relaxing compared to the epic and intense atmosphere of guren no yumiya if you ever get frusturated. HAVE FUN
Teror Byte ahahah thanks bro but i never get frustrated :)
Finally im not gonna start it now since i started the moonlight sonata 3rd movement and unravel...

So, small story from small person. I started playing piano two and half years ago. It's strated with hope, because it's my second music instrument. It took some time before I had some progress, year without teacher in classical music. Now, I'm going to get a diploma of pianist and continue study. At the February of 2023 I bought sheet music of this song. It was hard, I thought it's impossible to play, but here I am. It took 13 months, I was anger with myself, met some great pianists and just want to say thank you, Animenz. Your work inspired me to start playing this beautiful instrument and start my music journey as pianist. Thanks from Ukraine
Finally he’s not murdering the keyb-
Animenz: *get’s really intense*
Me: KIMI DA YO! KIMI NANDA YO!!!!
HAHAHA! Feels though!
Meeeeeee I can literally hear this comment in my head

Miraculous Edits Lol have you even seen Your Lie In April?
OMG. EP 9.
yeah i've seen it but like years ago so my memory is a big foggy lmao
Even 6 years later you gotta love those pre-choruses
Plot twist:
*Animenz is actually Kousei*
They look dissimilar
Oh shit
Вот это, блять, поворот
Griffin Archer damn u really had to do it to him
uwu
Not gonna lie, hearing those first few notes shook my heart. I’m honestly mad I didn’t find this sooner, it’s absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful? 99.9% people here cried listening to this :(
You know how in the anime they talk about music having the power to move people with music? This guy has, on multiple occasions, moved me with his playing. So powerful, bold, but also gentle and warm. I love it so much :3
I feel like this would be the way Kousei would have played it after everything that transpired throughout the series. Remember in the first episode he started to write the notes for this song?? The beginning feels like him longing for Kaori after she's gone, the middle is Kousei remembering every moment they spent together, and the end where he says goodbye
Edit: The transition from every part of the song to the next is so perfect. You can really feel those shifts in emotions as they're happening
"Kimi da yo kimi nan dayo oshiete kureta". Everytime i hear that line, i always remember Kaori's death. I want to watch it again but im afraid that im gonna have a heartache
In a private class (in the school) are we watching Shigatsu (i have already finished it), and it brings memories back, when Kaori was living life to the fullest :), but its sad to already know she'll die :`(
I feel the same way.. The urge to watch it again is killing me ,but i have a heartache just by thinking about it..
It's the same with me and CLANNAD... couldn't watch it again... would kill me...
Don't want to watch Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso again either...
It would destroy the "first-time-experience" and would kill me over and over again :(
dont worry, i'll rivive you again with the edutensei XD
IMaxwellI The real fun is in the second playthrough.
Animenz used feels attack!
Critical hit!
SEEING THAT PIANO MAKES MY WHOLE BODY CRY
When I first watched Your Lie in April I was 11 and it absolutely broke me. I just rewatched it at 15 and I think I finally understood what Kaori was talking about. The show is so sad, but there’s a beauty and happiness in it that is hard to see.
Kousei Arima- "I just met you and now you're leaving me, but when it comes down to it, even if I knew there was going to be a goodbye, I'm glad I met you. Before you came along I was drowning in a dark ocean of my own tears. I didn't think life had any meaning. I wanted to play the piano and then again... I didn't. I was a lost soul. But you're the moon who gave light to that ocean and showed me the way to the surface.
You first saw me when we were five? Well, I first saw you when we were fourteen, even so, it was magical; an unforgettable scene. I thought it was a movie at first. I saw leggings and shoes up in a tree, then I heard the sound of a melodica. I couldn't help myself from turning around the corner to see... you. I took out my phone to get a picture of the unreal sight: a girl with three children all playing music together to get the attention of birds. I saw you cry. I always wondered why you were crying. All at once I was getting beat with the melodica. But just as quickly as it had started, you were a flower, quiet and beautiful. That's when I learned you had a crush on my friend.
When I first saw you play your violin, I didn't understand how someone could mess up the song so badly. Then, I learned you did it on purpose. You... cat! Yes! You're a cat! You play around like you don't have a care in the world, but when I'm hurt, you come to share the pain. I can't read you, yet, I NEVER want you to leave my side.
Tsubaki told me that my eyes don't "sparkle". At first, I had no clue what she meant by that. Now I do. Your eyes sparkle and it's so bright! I'd become blind if I looked at you for too long. The world I've known my whole life was unknown land. I was scared, but remember what you told me that day? I do! You said, "We're all scared, but you do it anyways and that's how you create the most beautiful lie of all." So, I created my lie, and trust me, it was the most beautiful.
Now everything is so colorful and you're in the middle of it all screaming, "Here I am!!"
Thank you for telling me your lie. Because of it, I'm finally brave enough to say what I've always wanted to say; When I play, I play for you, and you alone. You're an angel. You're MY angel. I love you. I always have.
Before you leave for good, answer me this. Did I reach you?
Please don't go. Call me only to waste time. I'll bribe you with a conalė. I don't mind being Friend A. Don't leave me here without you. My world is dimming and I need you to brighten it up.
I'll always be Friend A. I'll always be Friend A for you.
Thank you for showing my love.
Thank you for being you.
Thank you for everything.
Love Friend A!"
Emily Stoker These lines were awesome! However, i didn't find them in the anime...did u write them urself?
Listening to this after that last episode is just amazing. This is a beautiful transcription. Thank you.
:( :(
:( T.T
really sad :(
but cancer is really cruel.
ZanyDivine737 She didn't have cancer. It was a degenerative disease (something akin to ALS. It was never specified.)
"The season i met you is coming,...
A spring without you is coming"
~Kousei Arima
I have looked and looked for this specific cover on spotify to put in my favorites playslist Noone got it close like this
The absolute saddest moment in shigatsu wa kimi no uso was when Kaori said sorry for everything in the last episode... ;(
UnicornHorn I think when Kaori wrote "I love you, I love you, I love you" while shes animated while crying is the saddest thing :(( And Kousei is not by her side when she was on surgery and end up only come to her burial instead. I wanna them to at least hugging for the last time thats all :''''((((
UnicornHorn Why did you have to remind me of these things?! Now I'm morbidly depressed T-T
UnicornHorn Don't remind me of that (~T-T)~
UnicornHorn Honestly guys it wasn't that sad. Sure at the time it was quite heart breaking, but does it really make you sad whenever you are reminded of it? I mean it's no Clannad :p huehuehue
UnicornHorn Yeah. I mean, she said sorry because she wasn't able to finish eating the canelés. Why? Well, 'cause she wasn't there anymore...
It hurts. I can feel the emotions of the song. I can picture it. It's amazing.
a pure masterpiece, I think what animenz does the best is that he funnels so much emotion into his music, absolutely amazing!
This is an absolute masterpiece. I could listen to this song on repeat and never tire of it. Uhg, the climax is heart wrenching. Whenever I want to give up on the piano, I’m coming to this video.
-The Snowy rooftop scene
-The surgery scene
-The final Kaori x Arima performance
-The scene where Kaori's letter is read
YES CRY! CRYY!! AND I SHALL SACRIFICE YOUR TEARS TO THE AUTHOR SO HE MAY MAKE MORE ANIMES LIKE THIS.
GUYS... Wouldn't it be cool if like they had Kousei play this in the anime?
Cirenoz Leoney nah, that would be too fucking OP, we would die.
I though about it since they are probably making an live action movie
it would but that god power would be too much for us.
It already has a live action
play 'hikaru nara'? if I remember... Kousei transcribed that song in the first ep.
every time that i replay the anime, this fucking onion ninjas keep sneaking in my house. damn you onion ninjas
John Michael Compay same her or its the feels train hitting us and keeping fucking going
John Michael Compay 9gag?
fucking onion no jutsu
Just a Pro Random Gamer yep that's totally it
Ah yes, the OP of the anime that got me back into playing piano. I love how Animenz chose a ballade route for this cover, it sounds phenomenal even after 4 years.
Ladies and gentlemen, 20 year old Kousei.
25* ^^
all he needs is his kaori :,)
+Jordan Bunch If you watched the anime, we all know that wouldn't end well. Let's _not_ make him a Kousei! (Truth be told, I think it'd be better for him that way...)
I literaly started crying when i saw this comment, fuck you
mirjana vidakovic lmao
when you realize he has the same piano as the anime
no i'm not crying you're crying
toradotaku Not exactly the same ;) But it's right it's a Steinway and Sons :) Amazing piano and really beautiful
Steinway
Actually, the Pianos in the anime were all Steinway Model D Concert Grands. Animenz' piano is a Model B (probably)
And the same skills ahah
dude i do not cry easily and this had me in tears
This anime made me find the reason I want to play in front of people, literally.
I didn't like to play the piano because it felt like I had to, but nothing else. Then I saw this anime and it changed my point of view about classical music and performing. I was almost about to quit piano, but now... I'm practicing the Revolutionary from Chopin :)
This made me cry more than the actual show tbh
The best pianist is the one Who make u wanna be a pianist and its defently you're my inspiration , Arigato !
*wipes my tears* ...THESE ARE MANLY TEARS
Petition for Animenz to cover "Again" from Your Lie in April as well:
Absolutely loved the slow crescendo at around 1:30
I love this piano cover even more than the original. I get those goosebumps every time it's at 3:58. I appreciate the way you move your fingers, the space, the perfect timing to make this cover a masterpiece. Like the more i listen to your cover, the more gorgeous i feel inside my soul. Thank you for everything !
LOL the ending. there was like a good 40 seconds left when you played the final chord and im like.. is he gonna suddenly play the chorus and end it in a big finish!?!??!... nope.. "closes piano lid" well then LOL
I'll start the next video in 2015 with "opening the lid" then :D
***** its fall not winter you should change it
EyesofFIRE levi Seconded, December may be winter, but Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso airs in *fall anime season*
William Wijaya Lo fixed the mistake, thanks. Changed the "winter anime season" to "fall anime season"
Hahahaha, ikr! but it kinda reminded me of BoxBox leaving the room after getting a 1v5 penta
I am a non Japanese but somehow this song and your playing are so powerful that I feel like instantly connected to the sound . All the lyrics are coming natural to my head.It's that magically. And yes I am not crying, you are crying.
At first I was a bit iffy as it started out quite slowly and you added your own take onto it, but then 2:00 kicked in and I felt my left testicle rupture from the sheer awesomeness that flowed from your fingers into the piano!
Definitely rated a Sugoi/10!
haha ^^
okay, I admit, I lol'd at your description of awesomeness. Well then, I will continue doing my best for next year as well!
Glad I could provide something in return haha! Keep on chugging ahead for the new year, I'll make sure to go for testicular surgery in preparation!
Nah just let it be, it will keep on rupturing by his piano awesomeness anyways lol
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUCKING HAPPY MUSIC WHY AM I CRYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW GOD DAMN IT...
*sobs with you*
Kaori :'(
Nah it wasn't supposed to be happy, that anime/manga is just as big tear jerker as Sparks Notebook, and this cover just fits perfectly.
I started crying as soon as I saw the anime name... Then I heard this and now I can't stop crying.
Nguyễn Đạt Same but that's what we anime lovers are. We feel the anime , we understand it, we know the message ,and we burst into tears totally normal for everyone.So just keep crying guys *sniffle*.
a little after this came out, i didn't really feel anything for this song because i wasn't drowning myself in anime back then. but now, i think i've flooded my house.
I just finished re watching Your Lie in April, and it did never fails to hit my heart.
Thank you Animenz for this rendition.
I can even here the faint variations of the songs Kousei played in the anime! Lots of love! Please keep up the good work!
This is so good you got me crying ; ___ ;
I mean darn the ninja chopping onions in the background!
yo the beginning sounds so good i keep replaying it. 0:18 - 0:30
Music can’t simply be “listened to”. It has to be played. After watching Your Lie In April, I INSTANTLY knew that I had to work to grow up an become a classical pianist. Piano is one of the most GORGEOUS instruments, from its sleek black figure to its gorgeous black and white keys. All of the classical piece that were played in your lie, I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY EXISTED, until I watched and listened. I listened to the LOVE that the musicians expressed whilst they played, the anger, and the pain. Music is a way to indirectly express your emotions while at the same time, it’s like your giving the listeners your diary. I can’t simply just LISTEN!! I need to learn these gorgeous pieces, and be able to feel them first hand, with my own fingers, not ears.
