"Your Lie in April" is probably the most referenced/requested show on my channel! For those of you who haven't seen it, it's an anime about classical music, featuring a violinist and a pianist. It also happens to be one of my favorite anime!
I've always been meaning to cover some of the songs from YLIA. However, there's too many songs I love from the OST, so I decided to make a medley of my favorites with my friend LilyPichu!
We decided to go with a gender-bend cosplay concept for the video, since the violinist in the anime is a blonde girl, and the pianist is black haired boy. We also tried our best to capture the feel of the show in the cinematography/set locations. Prepare to embark on the feels train! T^T

In the past few weeks, Ive been struggling with a few personal issues. To help get through it, Ive been listening to music constantly to keep my mind occupied. However, I find it funny that even if Ive heard a song played on the radio a million times, I never really hear the lyrics until I realize that they describe my current emotions/situations.
Stay With Me, by Sam Smith, is one of those songs for me right now. While Ill admit its not the happiest song, whenever I hear it, it never fails to make me feel better. So I figured why not just make my own cover of it.
Once again, this is another looping pedal cover using a midi keyboard and my acoustic violin. I hope this song will soothe you as it has for me!

![A Card Trick about Life, the Universe, and Everything
1st Place - Mismag822s Best Original Card Trick Contest 2012.
I came up with this idea after thinking about some of the interesting patterns I saw in a deck of cards, and then it worked itself out from there.
The song in the background is Shiita no Ketsui, from the Miyazaki film, Castle in the Sky, which I recorded on piano for this video.
Inspirations/Credits: Erdnase, Daniel Garcia, Benjamin Earl, Michael Vincent, and many others
Dialogue:
I have a theory about a deck of cards.
A deck of cards is a lot like life. For example, every deck has 2 colors, which represents day and night, and the 4 suits, the 4 seasons. Likewise, the values tell us that there are 365 days, 7 days in a week, 4 weeks in a month, and 12 months in a year.
I also believe a deck of cards illustrates some of the universal experiences people encounter at some point in time. In a lifetime, people discover the joys of finding love, and the sorrows upon losing it. They curse the occurrence of bad luck and poor health, and give thanks when blessed with good fortune and wellbeing. Finally, they enter battle, either physically or metaphorically, when their beliefs and ideologies clash with those of others, and only in reaching compromise are they able to achieve peace.
However, like this deck of cards, life is not everlasting. As we become older, it really makes you wonder what is the meaning of life...the universe....and everything...Well, that is [four] you [two] decide.
