U R MY SPECIAL.
This is my piano arrangement of SPECIALZ by King Gnu, the 2nd OP of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Shibuya Incident Arc was really peak anime in 2023 – and I absolutely enjoyed the crazy ride.
SPECIALZ is a very dark piece and the aggressive hammering beat is essentially creating an atmosphere of a “death march” for all the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. I tried my best to translate the “hammering” of the original song as good as possible on the piano, but I also added a few additional melody layers in 0:35, 1:56 and 2:28 to contrast the peaceful side of the music.
① Iguchi-san vs Tsuneta-san (the two vocalists of King Gnu)
I decided to use different voice ranges for the main melody because each range has a different voice characteristic. The voice of Iguchi-san has been assigned to the higher range (0:50) while Tsuneta-san is covering the lower range (0:54). I kept the voice splitting fairly consistent for both the verse and the chorus to create a duet between these voices on the piano. It’s also more interesting to play too.
② Cursed by a Hammer
If you have watched the Music Video of SPECIALZ you’d probably notice many scenes featuring people doing a hammering motion in a monotone rhythm. I tried to do the same for the piano and the constant left hand jumping in the verse (0:19) and in the chorus (0:50) is basically mirroring the hammering beats of the music. There are also a few times, where I have to use unusual hand splitting to continue the hammering beats such as in 2:36.
③ The mystery bass
When arranging this piece, I was not sure if the chord progression in 1:48 is D7–A7–D7 or D7-F#m-E . But I decided to keep the A7 chord for this arrangement after all because it’s more similar to the chord progressions in classical music.
I also did a “Shibuya Crossing” (aka Hand Crossing) on the piano in 0:35 and 2:36. And after the Shibuya incident, not only Shibuya but whole Tokyo is in a great danger now. I really hope that MAPPA will start producing Season 3 soon!
Alright, that would be everything!
Thank you so much for your support in the year 2023! All of you are very special(z) to me.
And thanks to the active anime piano community, I will continue doing my best!
Please look forward to the new projects I will be working on in the year 2024.
See you again in my next video!

![Miiro - Kantai Collection OP [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pzmMPXgX0xM/mqdefault.jpg "Miiro - Kantai Collection OP [Piano]
Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/65508
Here is my piano arrangement of Miiro, the energetic opening song of Kantai Collection I used to like the ED song Fubuki more, but recently I cant stop looping Miiro whenever I am playing the Kancolle browser game.
The song is just so powerful and AKINOs passionate voice is simply amazing. Thats why this piano cover is designed rather straight-forward, very true to the original song with a very powerful left hand bass. This arrangement is basically 100% raw power and piano guitar-riffs.
*sighs* I think am wasting way too much time on the Kancolle Browser game and theres no end in sight. Every day the same procedure, leveling up your shipgirls, farming more repair buckets. I love and hate the game at the same time.
Anyway, this makes the third Kancolle upload in a row, so you have a rough imagination how much Kancolle has influenced me recently. I also cant stop buying Kancolle figures and any kind of Kancolle merchandise, the rabbit hole goes very very deep now...
On the other hand, the spring anime season 2015 is really good, I am following more than 10 shows currently and they all have huge potential. My favorite series is currently OregaIru Season 2. Ill upload again, as soon as the full OP/ED singles has been released!
Until then~

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/43818
Fireworks (2017) is one of those Anime Movies, where you can only remember the brilliant Theme Song「Uchiage Hanabi」 while the story was completely forgotten already. Actually, once you have seen the official Music Video from DAOKO X Yonezu Kenshi, you have pretty much seen the entire movie.
Nevertheless, 「Uchiage Hanabi」 is simply a completely amazing song because even after 4 years, I still think it sounds fresh and original. Is it the rhythmic energy in the chorus? Or is it the piano melody in the intro? Or maybe the final chorus with the la-la-la chant at the end? Either way, I lost count how many times I have listened to「Uchiage Hanabi」and it is truly the embodiment of a perfect summer song.
My main goal for this piano arrangement was to preserve the rhythmic energy of the original song and that’s why I used so many staccato and syncopations in the left hand: in the first verse 0:42, in the second verse 1:51 and also in all three chorus sections. I paid special attention to careful pedaling this time to accentuate the rhythms as much as possible.
The most difficult part of this entire arrangement is by far the bridge part in 2:37, because you have to balance all the voices to avoid a messy sound and the right hand has to jump very quickly to play these bass notes on the first beat. This is actually a great example, where you can the “three-hand technique” in all its glory. Did you also know that the term “three-hand technique” has even its own Wikipedia article? (Just look it up!)
I even used the “three-hand technique” in the final chorus in 3:27 and the colorful ornaments in the right hand is representing the beautiful glittering from the launched fireworks (while the left hand is playing the main melody). And as a grand finale, I also included a “children choir” part in 4:06 to make the la-la-la chant even more “summer-like.”
Last but not least, I tried to create an extended echo effect in 4:25 by holding down the final Gb note with the pinky finger in the right hand. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the Gb note faintly in the background while the piano melody is playing. Who needs a synthesizer if you can do even reverb effects with your fingers only (笑)
Alright, thank you for reading this week’s “Animenz Explains” column! I am almost done with arranging all the Anime Movie Music and I hope you enjoyed this week’s eternal summer song – 「Uchiage Hanabi」from DAOKO X Yonezu Kenshi!
I hope I can see you next week again!

With all the tragedy we are facing in the world right now, I have decided to do something in order to make this world a better place. Therefore, starting today I will exclusively arrange all Anime songs in a Major key for the piano!
My channel will also be renamed to Animenz Happy Piano, because I want to make the world smile with only major key songs! No more minor key songs, because they are just too sad. Therefore, here is the first video for my Animenz Happy Piano project: Guren no Yumiya from Attack on Titan - but played in Major key!
Lets make this world a better place and only play Major key songs from now on!
Happy, lucky, smile, YAY!
See you next week!

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/62807
Here is my piano cover of aLIEz, the second ending song of Aldnoah.Zero, which aired in summer 2014. It is the spiritual successor of my Bios (Guilty Crown OST) arrangement I did years ago, because it features a lot of big left hand jumps and its from the same composer: Hiroyuki Sawano.
The very first thing I noticed while listening to aLIEz is the ever-present drum set, constantly playing an off-beat rhythm throughout the entire piece. I tried to replicate it in the left hand by playing a pulsating rhythm which is completely independent of the right hand. This whole piece is essentially a rhythm etude to train the coordination of both of your hands: Multiple layers of different rhythms are played at the same time in certain passages.
Similar to my previous piano arrangements of Hiroyuki Sawanos compositions you can go ALL out with the volume this time. Especially the section starting at 2:53 should be played in the most convincing forte fortissimo ever, the whole piano should be shaking at this point, and every listener should trembling with awe.
Alright, that would be everything regarding this piece.
See you next time!

This upload is a very special upload, because its dedicated to a very special person.
Because yesterday, after I watched episode 4 of Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka?it finally happened:
I found mai true waifu. And her names Kirima Sharo.
After years of searching, years of waiting, I finally found my one and only. And this piece is dedicated to her.
This soundtrack appears at the end of episode 1, 4 and 5, and its one of my favorite soundtracks of Gochiusa.
If you enjoyed Non Non Biyori, or if you are fan of slice of life series and enjoy watching cute girls doing cute things, then you should really give Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? a chance. The animation is top-tier and all the characters are insanely cute, plus it has a great soundtrack.
Btw, this transcription was done in only 2 hours, because I was totally mesmerized by Sharo (lol) and my inspiration has reached new heights. Plus, the piece is pretty easy to play. (I just kept the first take of my recording, and I was pretty satisfied)
...
haaaah~ why is she so cute. She is truly a miracle of the universe.
*ahem*
Anyway, give GochiUsa a look if you have some time left!
Youll seriously miss out the best healing anime series of this season!
No Game No Life OP full version is my next project.

![Suzume no Tojimari - Soundtrack Medley (Main Theme) [Piano] / RADWIMPS](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rTGlK5XB3Ko/mqdefault.jpg "Suzume no Tojimari - Soundtrack Medley (Main Theme) [Piano] / RADWIMPS
0:00 1. Suzume Main theme
2:13 2. Sky Over Tokyo
4:25 3. Closing the Door
6:50 4. KANATA HALUKA
After the huge hit “Your name” and “Weathering with You”, I was really looking forward to watching the newest movie by Makoto Shinkai. And I have to say, “Suzume no Tojimari” has really exceeded all my expectations and has quickly become my favorite anime movie from the last few years.
The message of the movie is really strong: Telling people to not lose hope for their future, even after experiencing a great disaster. I was also really surprised that the movie is directly referencing the 3.11 earthquake in Japan.
Since I was so impressed by the movie, I decided to make a piano medley and used four music pieces from the official Suzume no Tojimari soundtrack.
① Suzume Main theme 0:00
Its easily the most memorable melody of the movie: A simple theme in D-minor, initially played by the right hand alone. Throughout the movie, this theme has reappeared many times in different variations. I also wanted to include the deep breath of the vocalist from the original song as well. If you look closely at my right hand in 0:01 you can see that I deliberately raised my hands to recreate the deep breath.
② Sky Over Tokyo
Its another memorable scene in the movie. This particular soundtrack is playing when the giant Mimizu is about to cause a great earthquake in Tokyo. The musical buildup is very long and I added more and more layers (including the powerful drums in 3:22) until the music suddenly comes to a stop in 4:20. I tried my best to express a feeling of both beauty and despair on the piano.
③ Closing the Door
Its a variation of the Main theme and its being played near the end of the movie, in my favorite scene: Suzume finally went through the door and realized that little girl is actually her younger self from the past. She encouraged her past self to stay strong, even after all hope is seemingly lost after the earthquake. I still remember the final conversation between Suzume and younger Suzume:
“Big sister, who are you?”
– “I am your tomorrow”
I really, really love this scene, it was just so well made.
④ KANATA HALUKA 6:50
Its the ending song of the movie and serves as the grand finale of the medley. This is also the only piece in a major key and I added an additional finale with fast runs to celebrate the end of Suzume’s Journey. Finally, at the very end I played the main theme again but this time in a major key: A proof that all things will end well, if you give it enough time.
Well then, that’s it for today! Thank you for reading my video description!
I hope you liked my Suzume no Tojimari Soundtrack Medley. I really love doing medley-type arrangements since I have the freedom to experiment with different song orders.
I am already looking forward to watching the next Makoto Shinkai movie - and I cant wait to see what kind of story we will experience next. Until now we have defeated a comet (Your Name), a weather anomaly (Weathering with you) and this time, a giant earthquake worm. Whats next, I wonder...
PS: The postcard you are seeing in this video was a special gift I received from the theatre after watching the Suzume no Tojimari - Blu-ray version screening of the movie last week in Japan.
See you next time again!

![Main Theme from Non Non Biyori [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rpGbj32qnJE/mqdefault.jpg "Main Theme from Non Non Biyori [Piano]
Ill take a break from transcribing now since a lot of stuff has happened. (read my facebook post).
This is one of the few Soundtrack piano covers Ive transcribed before the official release of the Soundtrack. Therefore, I added a lot of original part (including two variations of the main theme) in the sheet to extend the main theme.
I named the theme countryside in the transcription, since it doesnt have a official title yet.
The soundtrack is featured in the beginning of the very first episode of Non Non Biyori (the flute theme played by Renge), and its reoccuring quite frequently in the later episodes.
This is one of the most peaceful transcriptions Ive ever written and I hope youll enjoy this piece as much as I do.
Many thanks goes to Tehishter for recommending me Non Non Biyori, and Ludwig van Beethoven, because this transcription is heavily inspired by his Sonata No. 32, Op. 111, second movement.
Well then, see you next anime season!

![Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul OP [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sEQf5lcnj_o/mqdefault.jpg "Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul OP [Piano]
Sheet music→ https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/41493
My piano cover of unravel - the opening song of Tokyo Ghoul (2014). It was created while I was enrolled in a music conservatory in Germany and I was practicing many advanced classical pieces at that time. This might explain the extreme difficulty level of this piano arrangement, compared to my other arrangements. It is basically full with very risky jumps and super fast runs. Especially the particular guitar riff arpeggio at 02:21 is probably the fastest arpeggio I have ever attempted.
This piece is the most difficult piece I have ever arranged and I have put this song in my top 10 most difficult arrangements playlist on my channel as well:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3_NLXp9puXUG_cUizZoYXIGsQ8W4xnwc
I spend around 5 days to fully arrange this song but in order to fully play it, I needed to practice it very intensively for more than a week. This piece requires a high level of left hand and right hand coordination. There are many complicated rhythms in this piece and the only way to properly memorize them all is by repeatedly practicing it again and again in half speed.
Especially the intro melody in 00:35 is often called the wall, because of the sheet difficulty of that passage. There are huge jumps with both of your hands at the same time and you have to rely on your muscle memory in order to play it. It is indeed difficult to completely master this piece and I am seriously wondering myself, how I even managed to play this entire song in only one continuous take back then.
In hindsight, if I would arrange this song again, I would use my gained experience from the past five years to make it less frustrating to play, but without losing its musical quality. And I would definitely avoid using those cursed double hand jumps in 00:35.
Perhaps one day, I will make another crazy-level arrangement like this unravel again. But only time can tell whenever I am in the mood for it.
Well, thank you for reading so far, and I hope I can see you again in the next video.
Until then -

Eureka Seven had many awesome OP and ED songs, but one of my favorites is still the 4th and last opening song by Nirgilis. I have created an extended Ending part for this piano arrangement, which is essentially a repeat of the Amazing Grace melody. I am still sad that Nirgilis has disbanded in 2014 because I really loved their unique music style.

![City of Eternity (Main Theme) - Kyousougiga OST [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sbzkJ-d9qgs/mqdefault.jpg "City of Eternity (Main Theme) - Kyousougiga OST [Piano]
Initially I wanted to go into hiatus and return for winter anime season but after listening to the Kyousougiga Soundtrack, I was left in awe and I just HAD to transcribe it.
City of Eternity (original title 永遠の都, the third track in Kyousougiga OST Album) is played in the very beginning of Kyousougiga episode 1 and its also the main theme, because many other tracks of the Kyousougiga Soundtrack are based on the melody played in City of Eternity.
This transcription is basically divided in two parts. The first half is the fairylike part, it has a very calm and gentle sound, as if you are traveling in the vast shiny galaxy, like a fairy.
The second part is the legendary part: suddenly a majestic, grande world opens its gate, where all your dreams will come true, and you are entering it - and being left with awe.
The entire second half is played in forte and fortissimo and its building up with every bar until it culminates into a fast arppegio finale with the right hand, and ends with four bells in the left hand.
Yes, the soundtrack is just that epic.
Go and watch Kyousougiga if you still havent. It has a fascinating story and a really aesthetic direction, plus is has one of the best soundtracks of this anime season.
Also, Koto is love.

![Masshiro World - Mikakunin de Shinkoukei ED [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/slB_qlxA6tQ/mqdefault.jpg "Masshiro World - Mikakunin de Shinkoukei ED [Piano]
This is the most catchy ED song of this anime season, and I really love it.
And after looping the ending song for the 1000th time, I decided to make a piano cover.
Mikakunin de shinkoukei (or engaged to the unknown) is one of my personal favorite anime series of this spring season 2014, because every episode is just a lot of fun to watch. Especially the chemistry between the characters Kobeni and Mashiro is really well done.
Since the ending song (and its adorable chibi animation) is the greatest thing ever, I decided to make an classical influenced over-the-top transcription for Masshiro World.
Surprisingly the transcription was finished in only 6 hours. Probably because I was very motivated by listening to the ending song the whole time.
Its a very energetic transcription featuring a distinctive left hand octave jumping.
In order to get a more complete picture of the sheet, I included some original material to extend the 1:30min TV-size ED.
Did I mentioned already that I love this ending song?
Anyway, Owari no Sekai kara will be my next transcription and it will also be the last one, since nothing else particularly interested me in this spring anime season.
Heart Realize (noragami ED) is dropped, because hihumiro has already made an excellent transcription.
