What a groovy way to end 2023! A couple of creative choices really leveled up the musicality for me on this one: 0:35: The melody jumps back and forth across the rolling left hand, using the right hand (!) to hit the bass line 2:20 The walking bass absent of any ornaments brings a calm resolution to the prior build up 2:28 The melody again jumps in between each hand, gently layered underneath the bass and harmonies Happy new year!

What a nice way to end 2023 and have a happy new year Animenz! Not gonna lie, 0:10, that repeated notes imitating the lower voice vibrationsof the original was very unexpected,. And have to say, out of all your arrangements, the detail is more well shown in this arrangement. For example, the multiple voices in 0:40, the accented strong beat in the choruses, the sudden silence in 2:20, the groovy 2:27, the emphasised "WE R SPECIAL" in the end, really shows your improvement throughout your piano arranging career.

[@Animenzzz]

Thank you! I am still learning a lot of things with each new piano arrangement. The piano is truly the most versatile instrument ever 🎹

[@PianoTraveller1]

@@Animenzzz It's a complex instrument, which makes it funnn.

[@gleesinnpiano2653]

This arrangement highlights what I love so much about King Gnu in the first place. I love when your right hand changes octaves depending on which singer is singing the melody. Love the contrast between their two voices

[@RelaxAndRawr]

I absolutely love that you explain your reasoning for your arrangement. Whenever I'm looking for piano arrangements, I realized that they tend to ignore the "drumming" parts of the song that contribute a lot to the mood of the song. Love the stuff.

A piece fitting for jogoat. When jogoat said Sukuna was strong it truly was an incredible moment.

[@rodrigoespinoza4833]

In less than a week it will be a year since you last played for the world. We await your return, even if you've never left us. The time where you would last upload would always have to arrive. Nevertheless, as long as we stand, and so do others after, your legacy will play for us. Your Variations on Lit were the final piece I played for one of my dearest piano teachers, likely the last piano piece she ever heard. The beauty of your works goes and will go beyond music, inspiration, cultures and time-lines. El. Psy. Kongroo

MASTERPIECE FOR JJTSU FANS🔥🔥🔥

[@NgocNguyen-lu5zd]

[@musicenjoyer6288]

It looks so fun to play with the jumpy right hand. I heard this song before but wasn't one of my favorites, but your arrangements always help to view the original songs out of a new perspective. I don't watch animes, but through your channel i found japanese music. And now 70% of my playlists are japanese songs (don't know if they are from animes). I'm even learning Japanese just to understand the lyrics. I also played some your songs(Avid, Kyouran Hey Kids, aLIEz, Merry go round of life, took very long though) and my piano teacher is amazed by every song of yours. My goal is to someday play most of your songs, I will probably do it my whole life, but it will definitly be a fun journey. Thank you

I love anime, I love piano, I love classical music, I love anime music, and you just bring those worlds together, and it's truly spectacular. Thank you for doing what you do. Seriously.

I've been listening to you for almost two years and I can definitely say that only your covers satisfy me. I can't find this professionalism and the emotions you create with your notes anywhere else. I didn't know that a person has unlimited creativity until I listened to you. The perfection and emotional explosions in your covers are the best feeling I've ever experienced in my life. I think yours are the best piano covers in the world. I wish you continued success, knowing that you will do even more excellent work in the future. Finally, I want to say something. The soundtrack of the Tanjiro vs Hantengu final fight in Demon Slayer season 3, episode 11 is one of the best and most emotional songs I've ever heard. I hope you know. I can't imagine this piece combined with you. I've been waiting for your cover since the episode came out. I hope you cover it one day. And I hope you read this comment.
