Remaster note:
I spent the past year learning how to mix tracks, and I found this to be the perfect remaster candidate. It's amazing how tweaking the EQ and reverberation can improve the overall sound so much. The difference between the old and remastered gong sound is night and day. I'm also really hyped for the 2020 anime adaptation / remake!
You can still find the old video here for comparison: youtube.com/watch?v=CUMpFx7MH_E

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is the anime which made me fall in love with the horror / thriller genre, and the soundtracks really set the vibe. The main theme in particular sounds creepy, unsettling, as if you're all alone in a dark area far away from everyone else, losing your sanity with each passing second.
Kenji Kawai is one of the masters of soundtracks whose other famous works include Fate/stay night (OP1 & music), Ghost in the Shell (music), Higashi no Eden (music), Ranma 1/2 (music), and one of my favorite martial arts films, Ip Man (music).
Yes, that Javenese flute sound is real! I learned how to play it just for this video. I practiced in my hotel room when I was in Bali at the time, I think people in the room beside me thought I was doing some kind of dark ritual, lol.
The gong sound that you hear is called "gong ageng", an Indonesian musical instrument used in the Javanese gamelan. Kenji Kawai actually used lots of gamelan sounds in his soundtracks, including Higurashi. There's a track called "Hyoui ~gamelan Ver.~" in the 2nd Higurashi OST album. Javanese music instruments are perfect for horror soundtracks like this because it has a mystical and otherworldly feel.

About the song:
This is the vocal version of Dear You, performed by Yuduki. This song is played in the visual novel during Shions chapter. This version is based on the official vocal version of the song titled you (2014再ミックス Thanks you Ver.) (feat. 癒月).
[SPOILER]
Although technically not Shions character song, the lyrics kinda reminds you of her and her love for the missing Satoshi.
[SPOILER ENDS]
About the cover:
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni brought me deep into the horror / mystery / thriller genre, and remains my most favorite of those genres to date. The way that the show presents itself is epic, its so brutal yet so fragile, and I feel like this song perfectly sums up the fragility in the series. This song has this feeling of really missing someone, the feeling of living a heartbroken life and keeps going.
This is my first YouTube cover done semi-outdoors! The sun is the best source of lighting there is, with perfect color rendering index. The view out my balcony somewhat reminds me of Hinamizawa Village.
I wanted to do a more polished arrangement before making the sheet music as this song is one of my highest priorities, which means theyre coming really soon so stay tuned!

About the song:
Kawaranai Mono is an insert song in the anime film by Madhouse, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo). The song was written, composed, and performed by Hanako Oku.
About the film and cover:
10 years prior to the time travel madness in Your Name., theres The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. A story about a girl who discovered the power to time-leap, to literally leap through time, not knowing that her actions can adversely affect others. Its one of the all-time anime movie classic animated by Madhouse and based on a novel with the same title. I cant say much other than watch the anime yourself if you havent, I guarantee that its worth your time. You will find this song near the very end. You can say that its the Ichiban no Takaramono of the film.
Its been a couple years since I watched the film, and just quite recently remembered this song after a friend of mine played it while we were working on university projects. This song is beautiful, very powerful, yet very delicate at the same time, meaning its took some time to figure out how to properly deliver it through piano, which otherwise would sound harsh. This is considerably harder to arrange and perform than my prior cover, Gravity from A Certain Magical Index III. The song also has incredibly beautiful and (to me) very relatable lyrics.
The sound used in this piano is listed as Brilliant Grand on the RD-800 and is sampled from Roland V-Pianos Vintage piano 1.

About the song:
Nirvana (ニルヴァーナ) is MUCCs single used as the opening theme song for Inu x Boku SS, released in 2012 as part of their Shangri-La album. The song expresses the feeling of loneliness of a broken world, missing someone, and trying to find that someone in a new, unseen world, a nirvana. This is one of animes most underrated theme songs.
About the cover:
Ive been wanting to cover this for a very, very long time! Inu x Boku SS is one of my favorite romantic comedy anime, from Kagerous S or M categorization to good morning my b**th.....
The song manages to be both powerful and beautiful yet melancholic, something thats quite difficult to achieve. This is one of the very few piano covers of the song.
Life update:
This is my second video in a new home, with the interior in the piano corner designed specifically for filming.

Re-upload info:
Due to multiple graphical glitches and audio-video synchronization issues, I decided to fix and reupload the video. It turns out that the newer build of VEGAS Pro 16 arent that friendly with rendering. Those are minor glitches lasting only a fraction of a second each, which is why I notice them after I uploaded the video, but the OCD part of me made those haunt me for life and I felt like Id regret it if I let them be so I decided to reupload the corrected versions. Some visuals that arent in sync with the audio are corrected, as well as minor changes in the camera angles at the end. The video was also rendered at 25 Mbps, up from its previous 20 Mbps to reduce compression loss.
Im sorry for cluttering your subscriptions feed, and I hope you enjoy my arrangement!
About the song:
Charles (シャルル) is an original song by Balloon featuring Vocaloids flower for its vocals. Its unclear what the songs really about because I found no official explanation, but the lyrics suggests that its about love, conflicts, and the pain of breaking up.
This song looks easy to play when its not. Its far from being easy, in fact. The intro alone took quite some time to get used to.
About the cover:
I went all out with this, both with the performance and post-production. Charles has become my new all-time favorite song. Its my first favorite Vocaloid song not sung by Miku. flowers voice is really unique and fits in the song really nicely. The chorus really got me hooked, the lyrics are really poetic, and I particularly took interest in its music video which is simple yet represents the song beautifully with sketch-style graphics, beat-mapped visuals and lots of implications giving it an artistic value. I like the music video so much that I decided to recreate the beat-mapped visuals, which took quite some time to do.
This is my first project to feature masking, and is also my first video / cover to use VST. The one I use in this video is Addictive Keys by XLN Audio, with the grand piano sound sampled from a Steinway Model D. The amount of sound customization you can do is incredible, and I can confirm that it sounds just like the real thing. Its like having a Steinway which you can tune to your liking instantly right in your bedroom which is awesome.
The arrangement is mostly my own, with bits and cues borrowed from Marasys arrangement because his cover is a beauty on its own.
