Silhouette - Naruto Shippuden OP16 [Piano]

Sheet music → mymusic.st/ani...
Silhouette is by far one of my favorite opening songs of the 20 OP songs from Naruto Shippuuden and despite being more than half a decade old, the catchiness of the chorus in Silhouette just never wears off. And before I noticed it I couldn't stop listening to this piece over and over again.
Luckily, the original piece by KANA-BOON is played in D-major and my improvisation level is at the highest in this particular key. I used to improvise contrapuntal pieces during my conservatory years and I always used D-major because it just "feels right". Also, many of my favorite classical music pieces are also written in D-major (the most famous example would be the Canon in D-major by Pachelbel).
I think this arrangement is one of the most challenging arrangements I have uploaded in 2020 because of the polyphonic structure (two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody) I have been using for this piece. Especially the secondary melody in the chorus in 01:05 was a real challenge to play, because you have to play two independent voices with only one hand. The second chorus in 02:02 also features a secondary melody, but this time it's being played by the left hand only.
Overall, I had a lot of fun arranging Silhouette because it reminded me of the Bach pieces I have practiced in the past and I was always fascinated by Bach's polyphonic structure and his brilliant counter melodies. I also started to listen to more classical music as well recently while arranging Silhouette for the piano. And once again I am reminded, why classical music will forever remain timeless because I always get inspired by it, no matter how often I listen to it.
Well then, thank you for listening my piano arrangement! It's time for me to continue watching my Anime backlog and I am curious which song I am going to work on next.
Until next week then!

[@PentaCorpStudio]

I think that with all the experience a professional pianist can get, you end up knowing an incredibly wide variety of chords and arpeggios to play with your left hand, so it might come more naturally for him to fully play that many different pieces. But, he no doubt has amazing skills.

[@andrewsugono4832]

Lily W. Hes actually very creative. Ive never actually seen people actually use that kind of variation on the piano. Like he actually has his own style!! Which honestly blows my mind.

[@Luzhong_editz]

Omewo tensai ta

[@kjn3350]

@@PentaCorpStudio I think it's not only that but just the ease with which you can control your fingers. Even after years of piano, there's just the issue of the fingers not doing what they should be (at the required speed, of course) without a lot of practice, or taking a lot of time to read the sheet when it's filled with notes. A lot of mental blocks, essentially. But with someone who is so talented and who is so able, it's possible to learn a piece without putting their hands on the keyboard, just by brainpower alone, and that is staggering.

[@Thebigballsmanful]

The balance between the hands in this arrangement is staggering. When the left hand was voicing melodic material, it was perfectly clear. Amazing work. Edit: after really watching most of his channel, I realize these comments can be made about all of his arrangements. He's just silly good.

[@user-zo4wd3eb4s]

Agree!! Most of the arrangers usually focus on right hand's melody; in turn, the left hand become dispensable or monotonous. But animenz's arrangements always strike the delicate balance between two hands:)

[@edoardodepiccoli3004]

And that's because he is a beast and can play it perfectly

[@darqueijo]

[@TheWebboxchannel]

Hey, just wanted to say an immensely massive "thank you", man. Ever since I started playing the piano, you've inspired me so much. I've been teaching myself piano for the past 4-5 years, and I didn't have the time (and in turn the motivation) to properly learn reading sheets. I've gotten into that since then, but my point is that since I've been playing by ear and learning through synthesia videos and I'm self-taught, I was never taught proper technique, and analysing your positions, fingerings, wrist movement, and so on, you've helped me immensely. Learning the piano is one of the best things, if not the best thing, that's happened to me. Thank you for having always given me a goal, an example, and inspiring me. ❤️

[@elixer_prince]

I think I found a perfect analogy for your progress Animenz. You remind me of Kratos where he is angry and goes all out in his youth but he gets older and wiser so he pulls he punches and is more rational. But in all actuality, he is a lot stronger than his younger self. In your case, your old covers featured a lot of really complex polyrythm and extremely speedy sections that have me questioning if it's sped up (I know it's not). This took all your effort and focus to play and looked impressive. In your newer covers however, you focused more on the musicality over the excessive speed (Although you still go fast especially in covers like Vogel Im Kafig and Ashes on Fire). The similarity here is that despite toning down the covers, they end up being better and I can tell that you are a lot better now than you were in the past.

[@CHRevvin]

[@zengarang]

Not gonna lie, i've always known this song as the Naruto Mirror Challenge Song... Arrangement thoughts: Love the parallel and countermelodies going throughout this one. 1:05, 2:02, as called out in the video description, but also the nice RH pattern at 1:19, and the "sparkling" RH triplet countermelody at 3:07, my favorite one in this whole arrangement (same rhythm briefly teased again at 3:48) The LH pattern first heard at 0:49 and later on a few times (2:28) stood out to me in particular, because it's one that i haven't really heard you use before. On the note of improvisation, my favorite key to improvise in is usually a tie between C major and Eb major. As someone with only a strong sense of relative pitch, i like to recreate and root any neat or funky sounding chord progressions/ harmonics unfamiliar to me and which i discover from listening to new music relative to C major, and then continue playing with it in C or transpose it to my key of choice to play with that musical idea. Thank you as always for sharing, and keep on spreading the joy of anime piano arrangements! :)

It's rare to hear the same energy in piano arrangements of rock anime OPs like Silhouette, but Animenz just never disappoints me B-)

I no longer have covid19 after listening to this

Every time I watch one of your videos I just don’t know what to comment. Your arrangements are so brilliant which influences me to wright a big compliment to you every time I watch a video. But... I’m just out of words. Sorry but words can’t describe how stunning your arrangements are anymore. The polyphony you added is simply perfect cause you just managed to put it in the best place at the best time. Thanks for another amazing cover, Animenz!
