The first part of my 6-video-special series has finally been uploaded! And I'll start with a piano cover of the first opening of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood: "Again" by YUI!
This is one of my favorite opening songs of FMA Brotherhood, next to "Period" by Chemistry and I think I have never skipped the OP animation even once, when I was watching FMA Brotherhood back then - because it was just so good.
A few words about the sheet: This arrangement follows very closely to the original song by YUI, and I only added minimal amount of original material in the sheet. The beginning of the piece is actually inspired by the TV-size version of the OP song - it starts with a "soft" version of the chorus instead of the guitar riffs like the full song version.
I paid a lot of attention to the rhythm this time. The left hand's accentuation is almost 90% the same as the drumbeats in the original song. The biggest technical difficulty for this sheet are the fast left hand "repetition notes" 0:58 and the fast right hand jumping 2:09. It took me a while until I could play this properly.
Last but not least, I included a lyrical jazz solo for the final chorus 3:38, before the rest of the instruments finally kicks in, and carries the piece until the end.
Well then, that's it for today! My next project is going to be Resonance, the first OP song of Soul Eater. Until next time!

![JANE DOE - Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc ED [Piano] / Kenshi Yonezu x Hikaru Utada](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LRHzcfLHUOw/mqdefault.jpg "JANE DOE - Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc ED [Piano] / Kenshi Yonezu x Hikaru Utada
Chainsaw Man Piano Project 2025 – Part 3: JANE DOE
JANE DOE might be my personal favorite song in the entire CSM series, and having the dream combination of Utada Hikaru and Yonezu Kenshi feels almost unreal. I listen to both artists a lot in my free time, so arranging this duet felt a bit like stepping into their artistic musical world.
The biggest challenge was finding the balance between over-arranging and too empty, all while keeping that gentle swing pulse alive. It’s a deceptively fragile song — if you add too much, it collapses; if you add too little, it loses its breath.
● Denji and Reze — a melancholic duet
I kept the melodic ranges consistent with the original duet: Yonezu in the middle register, Utada above.
My favorite moment is in 2:01, where both voices finally meet. The right hand plays both vocal lines simultaneously so their melodies can melt together. It’s such a satisfying moment on the piano — and also bittersweet, because their voices overlap only here. That was their fate: a brief moment together before everything slipped apart.
● Reze’s unreachable hope
Normally I would add a virtuosic flourish for the finale in 3:25, but the message of the song — and the movie — is the tragedy of two people destined never to meet again.
So instead, the ending becomes an elegy for Reze.
The melody rises higher and higher until it almost disappears, mirroring how she ascends beyond Denji’s reach. I always wondered: did she see Denji holding the flower bouquet? What would their first words have been if she had made it to the café?
● Denji left behind
Compare the outro in 4:21 with the intro at the beginning: the upper-layer melody is missing — because of Reze’s sudden absence in Denji’s life.
And unlike most of my arrangements, the final chord doesn’t resolve. It just hangs there, suspended.
Denji is still waiting in the café for Reze — a story without a true ending, mirrored by music that refuses to settle.
You have probably realized already, but I really love this movie.
See you in my next upload again.

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/74166
Compared to A Cruel Angels Thesis, the theme song of the first Evangelion movie Death & Rebirth is fairly unknown outside of Japan. Which is completely undeserved, because the powerful chorus in Tamashii no Refrain is simply unforgettable and it makes me shiver every time I listen to it.
The original song from 1997 had a synthesizer bass rhythm, which was continuing through the entire piece, but I occasionally used some rhythmical variations to make it a little bit more interesting for the piano. It is especially audible in the first verse 01:25 and in the second chorus 03:27
I was also experimenting how to arrange the majestic choir part in the bridge in 02:39. The first draft of my arrangement was actually just playing the chords without anything else added. But it didnt have the same spiritual atmosphere as the original song and I felt like something was still missing on the piano. After some thinking, I remembered there was a similar choir part from A Cruel Angels Thesis. I included the same rhythmic pattern for this particular choir part as well and the piano was finally creating a sound I was initially looking for.
The second verse in 02:58 was deliberately arranged in a calm atmosphere to serve as a direct contrast to the earlier dramatic choir part. I let the music slowly build up until it reaches the second chorus 03:27, which is played in staccato this time. I was also thinking for a while how to arrange the finale because the original songs enigmatic ending is hard to translate into the piano. At the end, I decided to use a simple improvised melody line in 04:47 to bring this arrangement to a conclusion.
Well then, thats it for this weeks upload. I am surprised that some Anime songs are still super popular in Japan while being virtually unknown elsewhere in the world. Since I have been arranging all those decade old Anime songs recently, the next weeks arrangement is going to be another nostalgia song. Pretty sure most of the people here are very familiar with the next one as well.
Until next week then!

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/43817
「Boku no Sensou」or 「My war」 is probably the most crazy opening song I have heard in a while and all I could think of was “Anime OP, but presented as a death march”. Because we are now entering the endgame of the epic story of Attack on Titan and it has one prevailing topic: War.
Although the arrangement doesn’t sound that complicated, it is actually one of my most difficult pieces I have uploaded for a long time. The constant polyphony in many parts of this arrangement is probably the main reason why it is so technically challenging to play, because you have to balance the voices well and emphasize certain melodies if it’s needed.
I also started to utilize the “four hand” technique: Basically, each hand is playing two layers of melody at the same time. For example, the intro part in 00:08 has actually 4 instrumental layers: the right hand is playing the C#-C-C#-G# “Bell” sound and the higher “Choir” voice while the left hand is playing the bassline and a fast, rhythmic pattern, imitating the “drums”.
I could hear at least 6 different musical layers in the chorus part in 01:14 and it was hard for me to decide, which melody I should prioritize and which one I can omit. I tried to combine as many layers as possible with my 2 hands (I really, really wish I have 3 hands) to imitate the overwhelming atmosphere of the original song.
Btw, the “bell” ostinato C#-C-C#-G# motif in 00:01 reminds me of “Dies Irae” (Day of Wrath), an ancient hymn usually sung as a part of a Requiem, aka a Mass for the Dead. Which fits in pretty nicely for Attack on Titan, since the Opening animation is displaying nothing but War, destruction and regeneration. (笑)
Speaking of the Opening Animation, I also tried to imitate the Art style by filming this video in monochrome only, except the lighting in the background, which remains colorful. I hope you enjoy those kinds of special video edit every once in a while!
Last but not least: This arrangement also serves as my personal piano etude, because it features many piano techniques which I am actually bad at. For example, the fourth runs in 02:45, the double hand jumps in 01:30, the very uncomfortable left hand pattern in 00:07 and the polyphonic rhythms in 01:37. I was really challenging all my “weak points” this time, because the only way I can improve my piano technique is to leave my comfort zone. I guess I will never learn enough as an pianist.
Alright, thank you for reading so far and also, thank you for watching my videos! Next week, I will arrange another Anime song, which is from a currently airing Anime. But it won’t be as crazy difficult as this one. I hope.
See you next week then!

![Gurenge - Demon Slayer OP [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NQMmZ4Psb7w/mqdefault.jpg "Gurenge - Demon Slayer OP [Piano]
Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/41471
Gurenge was one of the most iconic anime songs in 2019 and it became a massive hit song in Japan following the big success of Demon Slayer. To be honest, this song didnt get my attention for a long time until I saw LiSAs live performance of Gurenge on television last weekend. I was really moved by her powerful performance and I decided to make a piano arrangement after all.
Gurenge is also a spiritual successor of my Unravel piano arrangement, because I am using difficult piano techniques, which requires a lot of practice. But compared to my Unravel cover, this arrangement is not as notoriously difficult and instead, it features more three hand techniques for a more balanced sound.
Since this is a powerful rock song, I was using more notes in the deeper bass regions than usual, resulting in a massive sound on the piano. There were instances, where I was even using the entire keyboard of the grand piano at the same time. The best example would be the buildup moment before the chorus in 0:54, where both hands are jumping in opposite directions and playing the highest and the deepest notes simultaneously.
I also tried to imitate the rhythms of the drums as close as possible in the left hand. This results in a few unusual left hand patterns, such as the pattern in 0:40 and 2:58, where I am using left hand repetitions for the first time in a while. Especially the piano guitar riffs in 0:11, 1:37 and 3:49 are exactly the same as the original rhythm.
For the last chorus in 3:13, I was imagining just the drums playing and LiSAs voice is shining brightly in this moment. The focus is shifted to the right hand but at the same time, you can also go all out with your left hand and bang the bass keys as much as you want to create an exciting climax. The final jump in 03:55 also deserves a mention because the right hand has to jump over 3 octaves in order to hit the last E notes. It is indeed a risky technique, but once you can nail it, it feels incredibly satisfying.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun arranging Gurenge and I hope you enjoyed my piano arrangement! Starting next week, I will cover more recent Anime songs from 2015-2019 because the nostalgia Anime Piano series from my last few uploads has been completed.
See you next week!

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/62802
The ending song of Oregairu S2 (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU 2) is one of my special-type arrangements and it has gone through a long development period, until it achieved its final form.
The first verse was based on the Everyday World -Ballad Arrange- from Oregairu (used as a ED in episode 7) because I really like the lyrical atmosphere of this version. However, after finishing the first draft, I became more and more attracted to the faster, normal version of Everyday world (used in all the other episodes) and decided to redo the entire sheet.
But after I finished the entire sheet, I realized that it would be too much of a waste to discard the ballad arrange piano sheet I have created, and thats why I decided to merge both versions into one, single arrangement - and thats the one you are currently listening to.
Alright, this would be the story behind the transcription.
I have actually finished a second piano cover already, and it will be uploaded tomorrow. Its the ED song of Gochiusa S2 and it will also be my final upload for this year.
Well then, I hope you have enjoyed this piano cover of everyday world!
See you next time again!

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/51532
Both 「ADAMAS」 and 「unlasting」 from LiSA are really amazing pieces, but what makes 「unlasting」 stand out is the serene atmosphere and the way the music is building up before each chorus. Definitely one of my favorite musical moments is the sudden drop in volume during the third chorus in 03:28, and LiSAs voice is shining brighter than ever - its truly magical.
I also didnt know that the composer for「unlasting」- Kayoko Kusano - was also the same person, who has composed 「Gurenge」. This might explain the exotic pentatonic melody lines which is played by various instruments in the background.
Speaking of exotic, 「unlasting」 is also featuring a rarely used instrument in todays pop music: the Erhu (string instrument). The sound of Erhu immediately reminds me of the exotic, far east and I personally think it has one of the greatest vibrato sounds of all string instruments. No matter how often I hear it - I always feel nostalgic for some reason.
Another prominent feature of this song is the Ostinato (frequently recurring motif) which is playing the melody [C-D-F-G-Bb] at the beginning part, the verse part and the chorus part of the song. I tried to incorporate the ostinato as well in the piano, most notable during the chorus in 01:04 and 02:24 by using the three hand technique.
I usually spend the most time to make the bridge part stand out, because this is the key moment of every song: Suddenly a new element is introduced and melodies are further being developed. 「unlasting」 is no exception and during the bridge part in 02:56, the Erhu is playing a fantastic solo part. After experimenting on the piano, I found out that using a tremolo in the right hand is creating a sound which resembles the vibrato sound of the Erhu the most.
Last but not least, the final chorus in 03:45 deserves some mention as well. Usually, the final repeat of the chorus is the moment where the music is reaching its climax, but I did the opposite this time: The chorus melody is played in an impossibly high piano range, almost like a music box and its slowly unwinding itself. It is hard to explain, but I think in that moment, I just wanted to have a moment of peace, a short moment of introspection.
To be honest I was having a very rough time this week and this arrangement has turned out more dramatic than my usual arrangements. In a way, all my piano pieces are reflecting my current mood and it essentially serves as a musical memento for me. Most of the arrangements which stands out above the rest are born in times of big distress I was going through. Brave shine, Owari no Sekai Kara, My Dearest, just to name a few.
But even after saying this, I know that I still have to continue doing my best, because there is always a light at the end of a tunnel. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed my piano arrangement of 「unlasting」. Your support means a lot to me.

Ladies and Gentleman, the hour has come:
Its time for the most epic anime piano duet Youtube has ever seen...
Allow me to present you one of the best collaboration work Ive done so far - an epic piano duet with Tehishter!
It all started when we both watched the episode 13 of Shingeki no Kyojin and laid our ears upon the second opening Jiyuu no Tsubasa.
We both immediately thought: this is the best (second) Opening EVA
And so, we quickly agreed, to make a piano duet the world will never forget, to celebrate the GLORIA of this awesome opening.
[...]
Now, seven sleepless nights and countless amounts of work later, we are proud to present you our hard work: A FULL special version of Jiyuu no Tsubasa, with countless arpeggios, merciless speed, insane jumps, double voices and every kind of special effect you can imagine playable on the piano.
This is the best anime piano duet youll ever see in your life.
Prove me wrong.
Well, what can I say now? After this video, anime piano duets will never be the same anymore.
I cant thank Tehishter enough for making this possible (and also responsible for creating the HYPE on facebook, lol), therefore -
thank you for making this possible, Tehishter, youre the coolest anime bro I can imagine.
;_;
With that said, I can certainly tell, this definitely wont be our last collab.
If the time will ever come and demands for another anime piano duet, Ill be damn sure, to make this happen again.
Also, many thanks goes to my buddy castlevaniapro93 for mastering this track, he did a great job here.
Please check out his youtube channel too (he make many anime remixes):

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/65501
With the recent world-wide simultaneous release of the Detective Conan Movie 24, I went to the cinema a few days ago and I was absolutely amazed at the movie theme song 「Eien no Fuzai Shoumei」by Tokyo Jihen.
It really has to be heard to be believed, because the unique chord progressions in the chorus with that chromatic melody line was so unconventional, and yet it made perfect musical sense - it was literally fanservice for my musical ears. Huge kudos to the brilliant Sheena Ringo for coming up with awesome musical ideas like this.
Since this is one of the jazzier piano arrangements, I had a lot of fun to experiment with rhythmic bass patterns in the left hand. The best example would be the bass guitar interjections in 0:15 and 1:02. You have to jump very quickly in the left hand, but the resulting rhythmic energy was simply irresistible.
I also made use of the sostenuto pedal (aka the middle pedal in grand pianos) to hold down the bass note in 1:16 and 1:23, because I wanted to play this section as clean as possible. If I would use the normal pedal, everything would sound too muddy.
Another side note: Did you know that Detective Conan Movies have 24 different version of its famous main theme? I always look forward to hear the newest version of the main theme with each years movie release. And this years version was really one of the coolest I have ever heard with the syncopation in the bridge part!
Give it a try and compare each version against each other. I guarantee you, its absolutely fun to notice the tiny details, from the different usage of instruments, how the rhythms are always slightly changing and how each bridge part has a different key change.

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/62789
Since the second season of RE:ZERO is currently airing, I decided to finish an old piano arrangement project I have started years ago: STYX HELIX by Myth & Roid. Its a fairly unique song because of the extensive usage of Auto-tune of the singers voice and the hypnotic bass patterns.
When listening to Styx Helix, I feel like I am floating in a deep ocean, trapped in an endless, surreal world. I tried to do a similar approach on the piano by introducing flowing hand movements to create a mysterious atmosphere, almost like the listener is floating on a stream of piano notes.
I had a hard time to decide which melody I should play for the chorus part on the piano in 1:05. If you listen closely to the original song, you will notice there is a constant additional voice in the background, singing along the main voice. I decided to sometimes play the upper melody, and sometimes the lower melody on the piano to make a good mix of both.
The music seemingly stops after the final chorus melody in 3:51, but its immediately being revived again by the play again (F#-G#-C#) melody in 3:55. The music is starting from anew and its building up towards a big finale until it reaches the climax with the ascending arpeggios in 4:20.
The original song has a fade-out ending which I havent heard for a while in Anime songs. I decided to let the sound of the piano disappear into the thin air as well by playing in the highest register of the piano with a mysterious right hand pattern in 4:28. The final note was supposed to be a hypothetical C#8 key, but unfortunately this key doesnt exist on a grand piano (yet). I wonder if there is a piano somewhere in this world with a C#8 key though, so I can finally play the final note and make the piece complete.
Well then, that would be everything about this weeks upload! Styx Helix started as a lyrical arrangement, but after I included the flowing movements in both hands, it sounds like an invisible clock is constantly ticking the whole time, giving this piece a certain rhythmic energy. I think it is actually quite fitting, considering the importance of time in the Re:Zero Anime.
See you next week!

Attack on Titan is probably one of the most hyped anime of this Spring season 2013. I mean, even the trailer for the Anime has reached over 2,5 Million views in just a few weeks.
But wow, after watching the first episode I was completely hooked. The idea of Titans surrounding the last remaining human settlement, only separated by a huge wall is simply intriguing.
Obviously, such an epic Anime deserves an epic piano cover as well, so here it is! Did I also mention that every opening with the combination choir + Electric guitar is instantly awesome?
I added a short introduction at the beginning of the piano cover as well. The first four bars is heavily inspired by Beethovens Moonlight Sonata movement 3, which has happens to have the same key (c# minor).
This also happens to be one of my top 10 most difficult transcriptions Ive ever done, because of the fast tempo of the piece and the many jumps of the left hand. I am really motivated now to do more piano covers but I still havent decided which piece I shall do next. But I will be back again very soon!

ITS EXTRA MAGIC FINGERS TIME!!!! ヽ(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ
It took me some time to finish the arrangement, because I was having a cold last week and stayed in the bed the whole time (I blame the cold weather in northern Germany)
Anyway, Extra Magic Hour is my first piano cover of the fall anime season 2014!
Amagi Brilliant Park is one of my favorite anime series of this season, because I LOVE SENTO ISUZU, SHE IS SO PERFECT, SERIOUSLY.
Now, with that said, I am also glad that Kyoani find its way again and decided to make more delicious fanservice anime series instead of... uhm, gay swimming. (I still watched Free! though and I thought it was quite okay)
This arrangement has one of the fastest tempo I ever used (180 bpm), and it also features one of the fastest arpeggios I ever attempted in 4:20.
Also, I added a quotation from a popular classical music concerto in 3:16, since they both share the same key signature. Bonus points if you can recognize the original piece!
Oh, and regarding that project A sign at the beginning:
I made this especially for a collaboration project on bilibili.tv (Chinese video platform, I am also maintaining a channel there). Its short for Project Animenz, thats all.
Alright, thats it folks!
See you next time again!
