About the song:

Unlike language, music has no barrier. It's really wonderful how powerful music can be, how it bonds people together no matter who or where it's composed. "Ruang Rindu" is an Indonesian song composed by Noe Letto in 2006, which was then popularized again and then translated into Japanese by Hiroaki Kato. The title literally translates to "a room to miss someone", or can also be interpreted as "a void in the heart for missing someone". The lyrics are very poetic and can be interpreted very differently.

Hiroaki Kato is a Japanese who first came to Indonesia in 2006 as a university exchange student, and was intrigued to introduce decent Indonesian songs to his home country, Japan. His current passion is to act as a bridge between Indonesia and Japan through music, and "Ruang Rindu" is one of his most favorite Indonesian songs. The song is also part of my childhood, so it's really awesome that it became a hit again :'). The original song is piano-based, and Hiroaki Kato's version is guitar-based. Both Kato and Letto recently made a collaboration in to reintroduce the song and was received very well, gaining over 1.3 million views in just over three months.

About the cover and arrangement:

This is my second full-length cover in my channel which isn't related in any way to anime. This arrangement fuses the original and Kato's version together. It's played at the musical scale and length of Kato's version, but takes many cues from the original version it's piano-based. I was skeptical whether I should upload this or not since this isn't related to any anime or film in any way, but then I see this as a good opportunity to show that music has no barrier. Even if you've never heard this before, even if it's composed by someone you don't know, you can still feel the passion, the sensation whether it's happy or sad or inspiring, and the feelings put into making it.

Life update:

I'm back~ but it won't be for long.
I'm going through my final year in my university and am currently doing my final project, so I won't be (or rather can't be) fully active until May / June later this year. I've had 13 other cover projects in queue which is very exciting, and I can't wait to finally be able to focus with my YouTube projects and music sheets again. But as of now, I'm merely a part time YouTuber, and education is still my top priority. I can just imagine how happy I'll be to be an architectural engineer and a YouTube anime musician at the same time :p
