Moonlight Densetsu - Sailor Moon OP [Piano]

The second part of the Anime Nostalgia Series is "Moonlight Densetsu", the first opening of the first season of Sailor Moon.
Yes, I admit, I also watched Sailor Moon (although widely regarded as a "girls show" back then).
Still, this is my first trip into the Magical Girl Series, and I still can remember all the names of the Sailor warriors. My favorite couple are Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, because they were SO badass.
Also, very delighted to hear, there will be a new Sailor Moon Project in the near future, I can't wait to see the Sailor Warriors gloriously animated with a complete new (?) story.
The third and last part of the Anime Nostalgia series is Digimon, another series I loved when I was young (and I still love it until today)

I play the violin and to me keeping control of how fast and slow my bow goes and which way while also fingering the notes correctly is really easy but watching your hands play two completely different melodies at the same time is so confusing >_< You must be very skilled

[@jolokiachili6589]

Fingering the notes?

[@jolokiachili6589]

+Kaisla Kauppinen That was a sexual joke. I apologise. I do play the violin, but thank you anyway.

[@starmars2923]

I play the piano and I can confirm that playing two different melodies can be super annoying, and because i usually play by ear sometimes i have to just sit for like ten minutes and think 'wait.. I'm so confused..' But maybe it's easier for more skilled pianists 🤷‍♂️😭

[@mumuru5259]

@@starmars2923 OH, try playing two melodies on the same viola(well, I'm a violist.). It's technically living death. Well, I get you playing two melodies at the same time can be kind of annoying.

Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z are the ones that got me into anime. They're like the probably some of the best known anime. The way I see it was that they were the King and Queen of anime, classic anime that everyone has at least heard of. Probably watched each episode over nine thousand times.

[@ampha-dos]

amazing performance!. this song's got a smooth combination of darkness, love and sweetness together. also makes you remembert those childhood times that'll never come back...

[@beyondthekeys]

Great use of thematic material in introduction! Perfectly builds the suspense and drama before the main theme kicks in. Ornaments are not intrusive, you wove them into the material naturally and with your usual fine execution. Bravo Animenz!

I haven't had this dilemma before... I'm so upset right now... I can't 'like' the video any harder or any more than I have, and I will only count as one like forever... but on the inside, on the inside I am so much more- so *many* more likes.
