[2021] Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul OP - Animenz 11th Anniversary Livestream [Piano Tutorial + Sheet Music]

So I'm finally done with this... I was afraid that someone else would transcribe this before I did after I saw how fast some of the peeps transcribed the other songs from Animenz' stream but it seems I'm the first to do Unravel^^
I started transcribing this right after the livestream and it was not too hard though the left hand at some parts was spaghetti (like at 2:49 or 4:04) so I kinda had to guess what Animenz meant to play but I think this is as accurate as it gets, also spent a lot of time on the dynamics, pedaling and tempo changes (still not satisfied tho^^')
I was actually technically done with this this yesterday and thought the hardest part would be over but not only did my perfectionism make me change the dynamics and re-render stuff over and over again but there was also some fishy stuff going on with the tempo of the audio and the midi file which was somehow not perfectly synced and I just couldn't fix it, even after hours of pain and re-rendering.
The first time I rendered the audio file was 12 hours ago. See that thumbnail? That was me for the past 8 hours.
I eventually kinda fixed it though I guess.
Anyway, I'm done now.
The livestream was amazing and I would transcribe more from it but most of it has already been transcribed by other people and I still have other projects to finish.
Ah, and I have school. Should really study more.
Don't really have anything more to say.
See ya, peeps!
Big shoutouts to my friends TinLo and Corrin for making the sheets for this (since I have yet to learn how to use musescore) after so many people had requested it!
They also make anipiano arrangements, check out their channels here:

[@remylajeunesse6122]

Hell yeah!! Finally a version with the intro in it

[@AndySG7]

You can never have enough jazzy chords :3

[@buldario8900]

@@AndySG7 The authentic version !!

[@mikjokye2435]

The thing about this is version is that this is the more consistent arrangement for Animenz because he needs a less intense arrangement after playing for so long

[@mt2r-music]

It's not a "better" version. It’s an alternate one which is also really good. He did change the apperiagos part completely into the original melody which is more accurate to the real song and simplified other sections for the sake of playing it on stream/live and making it easier for not as experienced players. Personally I like the original arrangement but I still really enjoy this slighty easier version. Also thank you for transcribing this. You did a great job :)

[@AndySG7]

Yee, it's not really "better" in terms of how it sounds, the original arrangement is just way too epic, but this version is a lot more forgiving in terms of playability, especially in the second half^^

[@richardlee8899]

The main priority he did was breaking down “the wall”, and this version sounds more detailed.

[@studybuddy7060]

The wll is actually too hard, the right jumps which he simplified were the worst. You basically had to make those jumps blind. And no matter how much you practice, you cannot make those jumps more than 80% of the time. He omitted them because they were too difficult even for him and he couldn't take the chance to fudge it up on the anniversary stream.

[@meesta_]

Okay wtf dude, this deserves so much more love- it’s amazing bro

[@AndySG7]

Thank you~

[@craiver00]

Animen'z Unravel 1.2 patch notes : -Becomes more melodic -Better dynamics and rhythm to match the original song -Sounds more clean by clearing out excessive notes -Nerfed octave jumps to save your hands from potential injury Thanks for transcribing it was well made and you were so fast. Amazing skill there.

[@AndySG7]

Ah yes, that part is really hard to nail without getting a tense wrist. Try practicing it by starting very slow and focus especially on maintaining a relaxed wrist, then start to accelerate slowly and as soon as you feel your hand getting tense stop, take a second to completely relaxe your wrist again and then start again slowly repeat that over and over again. Also make sure that, while your wrist is relaxed, your fingers aren't so you actually press the keys properly. In general try to analyze your hand posture and stuff as good as you can and try out differente methods to improve it. I actually don't have a teacher to tell me what to do either, so I hope this helps. I mostly figure out how to practice myself, it sorta works better for me when it comes to this kind of stuff due to the quite stubborn, idiosyncratic nature of my person^^'
