I have always wanted to arrange music from JoJo and today is finally the day!
Giorno's Theme (or: il vento d'roro) is probably one of the most recognizable JoJo Soundtrack within the Anime community and I challenged myself to create a piano arrangement, which can live up to its name.
The arrangement itself is basically a Piano Etude because the left hand is spamming syncopated octaves nonstop in 0:18, 1:28 and 2:20 and it is fairly challenging to master it. You need a lot of stamina and a good sense of rhythm in order to maintain the groovy bassline of this piano arrangement. Because without that groovy rhythm, the entire piece would sound flat on the piano.
Giorno's Theme is also one of the Jazziest pieces I have ever arranged and it's especially noticeable in the "instrumental solo" part in 1:28. Instead of copying exactly the original saxophone voice of the original song, I created my own piano solo part, to make the best use of all 88 keys on the piano.
The famous "piano solo" part in 3:08 also deserves some mention. This is the only time where I am playing legato in order to create an eerie atmosphere... before the enemy is being MUDA MUDA MUDA'd into oblivion (btw, this song is known in Japan
as the "execution theme" (処刑用BGM)
I hope you also liked the special video editing this week with the MUDA MUDA MUDA effects in 3:50! I realized that playing tremolo on the piano with both hands looks very similar to the famous Rush Attack in the JoJo series. Perfect timing I guess.
Last but not least, the STAND stats infographic at the end of the video in 4:00 deserves some explanation as well. They are basically describing the various parameters of this piano arrangement:
POWER: A
How much the music can excite the audience. Giorno's theme has a meme status already, therefore A.
SPEED: B
Self explanatory. This is not the fastest piece, but it's still moderately fast.
MELODY: B
A simplified term for the complexity of the piece. The more three-hand technique or polyrhythm, the more complex it becomes.
STAMINA: B
How much stamina you need to play this piece. The Octave Spamming is challenging, but I have played worse, so this is still B.
TECHNIQUE: A
How many years of experience you need in order to play this piece. Maintaining the rhythm in the left hand is very difficult here.
RHYTHM: S
Self explanatory. This Song has a very complex rhythm, especially the Solo part in 1:28 is mind-bogglingly difficult.
Well then, that's it for this week's "Animenz Explains"!
I hope you enjoyed the first part of my JoJo's Bizarre Piano Project! My next JoJo Piano Arrangement will be uploaded, after the voting has ended! (see my YouTube Community post!)

![Avid - 86 / Eighty-Six (Episode 22 version) ED [Piano] / Hiroyuki Sawano](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fJ5UgyuACLE/mqdefault.jpg "Avid - 86 / Eighty-Six (Episode 22 version) ED [Piano] / Hiroyuki Sawano
Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/61268
This piano arrangement of 「Avid」 is directly inspired by episode 22 of the anime series. It has probably one of the most beautiful cinematography I have ever seen in a TV anime and the emotional rollercoaster was simply overwhelming. The final two episodes of Eighty Six was delayed for three months but in exchange we got a cinema-level of anime production – absolutely worth it.
The official name for the OST used in ep 22 is called 「Voices of the Chord」and it’s basically an orchestral version of the ED song 「Avid」. My piano arrangement is based on the full size of 「Avid」but I adopted a slow tempo based on the orchestra version and have modified the flow of the music a little bit to make it more cinematic, including a key change in 4:08. I also used many orchestration methods in this piano arrangements to fully capture the beauty of episode 22.
① New pedaling technique
Fitting to the lyrics of 「Avid」(it calls, it calls), I let the piano resonate its sound a bit more than usual by mostly using half pedal during the performance and releasing the sustain pedal very slowly for longer notes. This creates a very interesting mixed harmonic, which slowly clears up by itself until only a very few notes remain. It can be heard in 1:47, 4:04, and 5:02.
② Emptiness in the music
Since the main character Shinei has earned the title of grim reaper during his long duty on the battlefield, I cannot possibly imagine the amount of loneliness he is feeling, especially if he is being left behind again. The second verse in 1:49 reflects the emptiness of Shineis mind and the melody is split up into tiny fragments, never reaching its full melody.
③ The miracle in the flower field
[ep. 22 spoilers]
In one of the final scenes of the anime, Shinei has accepted his fate and the music in 3:38 suddenly drops to a bare minimum, slowly diminishing until almost nothing is left in 4:01. Then, the key change in 4:08 happens: This is the moment where Major Milize steps into the battlefield and Shineis destiny is changed forever. The landscape suddenly changes from a blue sea of Insects into a beautiful red flowerbed.
The miracle must be dramatically celebrated at the climax. The left hand is hitting the lower bass notes for the first time to achieve an enormous orchestral sound while the right hand is playing a secondary melody (consisting of thirds and fourths) to represent the red spider lilies dancing in the wind. This is the moment I was waiting for in the anime. This is the moment why I live for Anime and Anime music. And this is why anime is simply the best art.
[/ep. 22 spoilers]
Alright, thank you for reading this week’s Animenz explains! It has been a really, really long time since I was that moved by an anime episode and I hope I can experience more moments like this again in the future. A moment where everything just feels right.
Thank you for watching my piano arrangement and see you in the next video again!

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/74154
Hello everyone. Its been a month since my last upload, and I apologize for that.
To be honest, I was having a very hard time in march, because I couldnt finish any of my planned projects.
I started a lot projects including piano arrangements from Clannad After Story, Air and Kanon (2006) but none of them has been finished, because... I just dont know. I was in a blockade.
And even before I knew, the month has ended, and I didnt achieve anything.
I was very depressed after I realized that I effectively wasted a whole month and I began to seclude myself.
After I dropped all my planned projects for march, I started to play the Kancolle browser game, and slowly became addicted to it. Days after days, I was just sitting in front of my computer and level-grinding my ships in Kancolle, and I havent touched the piano for almost a week.
Ten days ago, I posted my current mental status on social media and announced my semi-retirement. But the amount of feedback was really amazing. So many people have been supporting me over the years, and I didnt realize that my piano covers could reach the hearts of so many people. I really wanted to thank these people by uploading something special, but... I still didnt have any idea what project I should start.
And then, the soundtrack of the Kancolle anime has been released - and my face immediately lit up: The soundtrack was simply gorgeous! The incredible majestic Sortie! theme and the slow string instrument pieces with a heartbreaking melody - suddenly my mind was exploding with ideas again.
Therefore I decided to do another soundtrack piano medley, similar as I did with the Magica Madoka medley, and began to work on the sheet every day. After spending more than 40 hours on the sheet, I was finally done - and I was relieved. Really really relieved. Because I have finally found my inspiration again.
This piano medley also partially reflects my struggle in the past few weeks: It begins with a very dark funeral march in g#-minor - similar to my depressed condition - but after days of struggling and contemplation, I finally overcame my depression and therefore, the piece also ends in a triumphant F-major finale.
I couldnt have done this without your support everyone, therefore:
Thank you!
I also just reached incredible 300.000 subscribers! Its still unbelievable to see how big my channel has grew since I started it in 2009.
Well then, I hope that my passion for the piano will never fade, so I can continue doing the thing I like the most: Creating anime piano arrangements!
I hope I can see you again in the upcoming anime season!
Until then~

It took me some time to properly memorize all 6 openings from the three seasons of Shakugan no shana, but I finally managed it (somehow).
Since everything is improvised (I think this is my 3rd take).
Also, for the first time I used 2 cameras to switch the camera angle between every new Opening, the idea is inspired by Tehishters videos.
Well, I hope you liked it, since I really really adore ALL Shakugan no Shana openings.
Seriously, the Shana OPs are the best thing ever, the Mami Kawada and Kotoko combination is just too awesome.
Okay, thats would be my last video for the spring anime season.
See you in summer anime season again!

This is another special type arrangement and its the first Ballad type arrangement since my Nagi no Asukara Piano Medley in 2014. Initially, I wanted to upload a piano cover from the current Anime Season, but... for some reason, I didnt felt any inspiration at all and couldnt finish any of my started projects.
So instead, I made an arrangement of something Ive always wanted to cover and thats of course a song from BanG Dream!
I have started playing BanG Dream! since July 2019 and I have went very deep into the rabbit hole of Gacha Hell Mobile Games. But I have no regrets: the Characters are really well written and their original Songs are simply addicting.
I have many favorite Bandori Songs, but Kizuna Music is probably the only one, which I will never grow tired of.
Since the original song is a powerful Rock song from start to finish, I was initially planning to do a similar fast-paced piano arrangement. But I thought.... why not try something different for once? How would Kizuna Music sound if it has been composed as a piano song from the very beginning? And from this point on, more and more ideas flew in and I transformed the original song into a slow Ballad type arrangement.
While arranging this song, I also remembered my humble beginnings as an piano arranger: Just the melody and very basic accompaniment, nothing else. It is the very essence of piano music, and I almost forgot how good simplicity can sound on the piano. In terms of my personal arrangement progress, this is probably the spiritual successor of my Snow Halation (Love Live!) arrangement from 2016 . While the first one is focused on utilizing all aspects of piano technique, this one is focused to draw out the music from the piano.
I also included an Easter egg for all the BanG Dream players in this arrangement: just imagine that !FEVER! is popping up at 5:42.
To be honest, in the last few weeks, I was pondering what my role on YouTube should be in the future. Due to my infrequent upload rate - mainly because of my own obsession with perfectionism - I cannot become a regular Youtuber. To be honest, I am still surprised how someone un-Youtube-ish like me has made it so far. I mean, my video editing is basic, I dont follow trending topics, and I only upload occasionally...
And yet, 1.5 Million people has subscribed me.
For this, I will always be grateful.
Therefore, thank you for listening my videos and as always, I will continue doing my best.

Im back again for the fall anime season 2013 and my first piano cover for this season is the Little Busters Refrain Opening, Boys Be smile.
Finally! The continuation of Little Busters anime is here! I cant wait for the finale, there will be massive amount of feels ;_;
This piano cover was supposed to be one of my easier transcriptions but after edting and editing, the sheet turned out a bit more difficult than I intended.
I expanded the TV size OP by appending an excerpt of boys dont cry, a BGM in the LIttle Busters Visual Novel, since the OP itself is based on this particular piece.
I have also improved my audio by using EQs and compressor, the sound quality is really good now! (at least as good as it gets with my current microphones)
Also, I added a small watermark-link on the lower left corner, because I am fed up with people stealing my videos. Hope you dont mind.

Ah, K-ON! These were really good times. I could never forget the moment, when I was watching the awesome ending animation of episode 1 while listening [dont say lazy] for the first time. I really cant believe K-ON! has aired more than a decade ago. K-ON! was so hyped back then, it attracted an equal amount of both haters and hardcore fans and they were fighting with each other on the internet constantly. These were really good old times (笑).
Anyway, recording this weeks upload was more exhausting than expected, because this is one of the most intense arrangements I have done for a while. Its basically FULL POWER from start to finish, without any breaks. It also holds a record for the largest number of glissando I have ever used in my arrangements: 8 times in total. (including a two-hand glissando in 3:28)
This arrangement requires quite a lot of stamina for the left hand because it is constantly playing alternating rhythmic patterns throughout the whole piece - like a drummer. Thanks to a certain rhythm game I have been playing since 2019, I started to focus more on the rhythmic variations in the left hand, whenever I am improvising a new song.
The biggest challenge of this arrangement was actually figuring out the unique melody pattern for the bridge part in 3:01. I still have no idea what kind of musical scale I was using but it does a good job building up a lot of tension leading to the climax in 3:05.
I have to say, its been a while since I have so much fun recording a new piece because I rarely have the opportunity to play fortissimo for almost 4 minutes nonstop. I particularly enjoyed playing these rhythmic variations the left hand. In fact, in one of my earlier takes, I was subconsciously stomping my left foot while playing to match the rhythm and it was so loud, it even became audible in the recording. I needed to record a new take again (笑)
No idea what I am going to cover next week though.
Definitely another nostalgia Anime song I guess but I still havent decided yet.
In any case -
see you next week!

This week’s upload is everyones favorite Detective Conan Main Theme!
This particular theme is playing in the background whenever Conan is capturing a culprit in the climax scene (usually by kicking something very, very hard). Basically: This is the piece where “One Truth Prevails!”
I have been improvising this piece many times in my live concerts, but for this week, I decided to arrange an official version for YouTube.
After researching a little bit on YouTube, I was surprised that the Main Theme is arranged differently for each of the 23 Detective Conan Movies. Each version features different instrumentation, slight melody modifications and a unique bridge part. Most of the time the main melody is being played by the legendary Saxophone, but there are also versions being played by the trumpet, electronic guitar, violins, horn, and so on. It was really hard to choose from all these variations so I have come up with an arrangement that represents three different versions.
The first intro pattern is probably the most well-known one, since its also used as the Main Theme in the TV series (and also in Movie Nr. 4). The second intro in 01:06 has a unique flowing movement and it has been featured in only three movies (5, 6, and 9), but its my personal favorite pattern.
And finally, the third intro pattern is being introduced in 02:11. Its probably the most popular variation so far, because it has been used in more than 10 different movies so far. Especially the rhythmic energy is very addicting and thats why I used it as the final intro pattern for this Main Theme arrangement.
Unfortunately, I couldnt include any bridge part for this arrangement because there are simply too many variations to choose from. I think I will just improvise the bridge part for my future live concerts then.
Well, that’s it!
I hope you enjoyed my piano arrangement of Detective Conan Main Theme with the three different intro patterns! I think for next week, I am going to arrange another nostalgia Anime song. Stay safe everyone and as usual -
see you next week!

The second song of my top 6 best Shounen OPs - piano series has finally been uploaded: Resonance - the first OP song from Soul Eater by T.M. Revolution!
Sorry for the delayed upload everyone. I was really sick in the last two weeks and it took me a while to fully recover. Initially I wanted to upload a new video every week, but well.... sometimes the body needs a rest.
Anyway, this piano cover follows closely the original song by T.M. Revolution, the only thing I added was a slightly extended ending part, because the original song simply fades out (and I think this is pretty difficult to imitate on an acoustic piano...)
The difficulty for this piece is higher than usual (although its still a bit easier than my previous arrangement again) because of the fast tempo. But fortunately, many techniques in this sheet are repeating themselves, so you dont have to worry about learning too many new piano skills in order to master this song.
In order to properly play this song, you require a lot of stamina in both hands, because the left hand is constantly spamming the bass ostinato octaves while the right hand is playing a lot of tremolos in the higher register. (After practicing this piece for almost 3 hours, my hands are both completely dead and I needed a long sleep to fully recover the next day)
Well then, that would be my piano cover of the first opening song of Soul Eater.
My next project for my top 6 Shounen OPs-piano series is Blue Bird from Naruto Shippuuden.
See you next week!

![Ao no Sumika (Where Our Blue is) - Jujutsu Kaisen S2 OP1 [Piano] / Tatsuya Kitani](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iqct5A6C9JM/mqdefault.jpg "Ao no Sumika (Where Our Blue is) - Jujutsu Kaisen S2 OP1 [Piano] / Tatsuya Kitani
This is my piano arrangement of Ao no Sumika – the first OP theme of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 by Tatsuya Kitani. It’s definitely one of my favorite Anime OP songs in 2023 because I simply love how “blue” the song is: The sudden quiet dynamics in the intro 0:04, the endless calm atmosphere in the verse 0:10, the subtle “school bells” echoing in the bridge 1:53. It’s like the music is inviting us to dive into a clear blue summer sky and I tried to capture the “blue” atmosphere in the piano as much as possible.
① Allowing the piano to “breathe”
I included many horizontal movements in the piano to give the piano a vast and open texture, mirroring the “blue” atmosphere of the original song. For example, in the first verse 0:10 the left hand is playing a subtle counter melody without being too rhythmic. And in the 2nd verse 1:28, the right hand is playing an ornamentation in a very high range without interfering with the main melody too much.
② The true MVP of the powerful chorus melody
The unique left-hand pattern played an important role in the chorus 0:48. I wanted to emphasize the syncopation of the drums as much as possible and as a result I used precise pedaling to give the left hand a short moment of pause before each syncopation. There is always a lot of trial and error involved to find the best pattern for the left hand. But once I can “hear” the original song with the left hand alone, it’s a good accompaniment.
③ Finale: From Blue to Purple
Since the atmosphere of the song is “blue”, I let the piano soar into the blue sky in 3:13 by playing a seemingly endless scale which goes higher and higher. It ends with an “open” chord Gbmaj7 (IV) in 3:20, which is quite rare for my arrangement because I usually end with a Tonic chord (I). But in this case, the “open” chord is perfect to make the arrangement sound “infinite”. Which means, the arrangement has finally reached new limitless state - Hollow Technique: Purple.
Last but not least, have you noticed the genius sound direction in episode 5? The “applause” sound has been haunting Geto for a long time after his failed mission and I love how they overlapped the sound of the showers and the rain drops with the sound of applause in certain scenes. It’s an excellent depiction of Getos deteriorating mental state by using that cursed “applause” sound. I hope we can look forward for more of these creative sound direction in future Jujutsu Kaisen episodes!
Alright, that would be everything for today. In every new upload I try to explain my arranging philosophy a little bit and I hope other pianist might find it helpful to create their own arrangement.
See you next time again!

Thank you for coming back to my channel!
Three months ago I went separate ways with my former management and it resulted into a long, legal battle. But the good news is, it will be settled this month and both parties can finally move on.
However, my grand piano still hasnt arrived yet because the final negotiation with my former management is still going on, so I couldnt upload anything the whole time. But after seeing the 11th year Animenz anniversary video yesterday from the Anime Piano Community, I knew that I HAD to do something to repay that favor.
[Special Piano Collaboration video from the Anime Piano Community]
https://youtu.be/_iaXe74rQ4Y
So I went to a professional piano studio today and I spent a few hours to re-record an old fan-favorite: 「This Game」 from 「No Game No Life」!
I used my 「This Game」 piano cover from 2014 as a reference but I also changed a few parts to fit my current arrangement style. Instead of focusing on arpeggios too much like in the past, this version has a better rhythmic structure and its also more accurate to the original song from Konomi Suzuki. To be honest, its been a while since I have recorded in front of a camera and I felt almost like a beginner again, haha.
But here I am, back to YouTube. I have to say I really missed you guys and I hope I can continue doing Anime Piano for the foreseeable future as well.
Because starting today, Animenz will begin a new chapter. And the people in the Anime Piano community made me realize that being a part of a community is truly the most rewarding thing you can get as a creator.
Thank you for listening and thank you for all your support during the last 3 months!
It really helped me a lot to overcome all the troubles and I cannot thank you enough for never losing faith in me. I will definitely continue doing my best.
And with that said - see you next week again!
In the special event. (see below)
