Bloody Stream - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency [Piano] /Coda

Sheet music → mymusic.st/ani...
The second part of my JoJo’s Bizarre Piano Project is Bloody Stream from JoJo Part 2! An old classic from 2013 but nonetheless, it still sounds fresh, no matter how often you repeat listening to it!
My main goal is to make a piano cover with the same groovy feeling like the original song, which I absolutely love. I tried to imitate the bassline melody in the left hand as faithful as possible and the result is a fairly unique rhythm which requires a lot of precise timing from both hands.
The only thing I couldn’t do 100% was to include every single Saxophone melody during the verse (starting from 0:07). My earlier draft had a fairly complicated three-hand technique to include ALL voices from the original song, but at the end it sounded too messy. Instead, I put the focus on rhythmization and precise pedaling to make the arrangement sound good.
I also experimented a bit how to include a "background" rhythm during a calm melody line. The result is the jumpy 0:36 section, where I play rhythmic repetitions above the melody line. It looks more difficult than it actually is: Since the rhythm are all perfectly aligned, it can be played by one hand without too much effort.
Last but not least, I also added some Hamon special effects in 0:52 and 03:55! I think I just discovered the wonderful world of video editing for myself because this is incredibly fun!
Well then, that’s it for today! Thank you for reading this week’s “Animenz Explains!” and see you next week again, in the next JoJo Piano video, featuring music from Part 3!
But before I forget:
"FOOOOOOOL! GERMAN SCIENCE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!"
Stroheim best character.

[@Simon-Jih]

Animenz, I really miss the days that I can see the damper on your piano, usually teachers don’t really pay too much attention teaching how to use the pedal compare to other techniques ,and by imitate how you use the pedal , I learn quite a lot , even though I’ve been playing the piano since elementary school. Some might say that imitation is meaningless ,but I think learning always start from imitation ,isn’t it?

[@aidswidjaja]

oh I just realised it was gone... damper-kun pls come back :(

[@Simon-Jih]

I really think the clean and thoughtful pedaling is one of the key element that separate animenz from other anime piano arranger

[@huypham4114]

Yes I have the same thought as you !

[@user-ig3vh]

Totally agree. Although it's quite faint, you can still see the damper action in this video. It's right above the moon lamp. Gotta switch to full screen and max resolution. It's a few pixels but it's there...

"OH! MY! GOD!" Fantastic job! Arrangement and Performance were both really on point! You really captured the melodic lines, the groove, and the hype of this piece. I loved the bridge part between the two verses with the sax solo in the original, I felt you kept the craziness and hype for that part as well as keeping the melodic lines in control and not going overboard. The vocals were captured very well and not muddied within the amazing fast arpeggios/chords. I like the parts where you played the trumpet lines that goes "DU DU DU" in the choruses. Overall, Amazing Performance! Will be looking forward for my attempts at learning it :D Also, loved the visuals, giving the already great performance extra spice!

"I just discovered the wonderful world of video editing for myself" Time to brace ourselves for a memetastic era of videos going forward. The groovy baseline is definitely the main challenge of this piece, so I can imagine trying to pair it with all the other voices would have been quite difficult. I think you have definitely interpreted the feel of the original piece very well!

DAMNNN!! I dont know how but these past animenz covers have just been straight 🔥🔥 and also i dont know if its just me but animenz just seems to have the most fun hes ever had doing these covers and it just leads us listeners to have so much fun as well. It also amazes me how animenz just perfectly captures the essence of a song as he plays it on the piano. Battle tendency op has a lot of subtle details that most pianists probably just dont mind putting in but theres something about animenz covers that makes you feel like your listening to the original song. Just like the right hand in 0:38 Amazing cover as always and the additional editing just makes it more astonishing to watch.💯

[@pianovideosfoundhere9948]

YES! I have searched the whole internet for a piano cover that encaptures the jazz I was of the original, and Animenz has finally done it thank you so much
