[@NavaroneBoo]

Hey guys, because this song is just so beautiful, I added captions to the video so you can all sing along if you'd like = )

[@jennajayanime1669]

Yesssss

[@dorianspianogallery1278]

five years have passed and this still the best piano arrangement for this song.

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@rasmusfaber]

Really well done! You're playing it better than I could probably, even though I wrote it. :) Keep up the great work!

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you so much for writing this masterpiece of a song. When I first heard it, I literally got goosebumps. You are a musical genius ; ' )

[@lightdreamer_]

+Navarone Boo A comment from the very person who composed the song, that's awesome!

[@TRIPLEAG3NT]

+Rasmus Faber You wrote this :O, this is my favorite ending theme in any anime, thank you so much for this song

[@skyvanisher1639]

My gosh if this is true then you sir have done a FANTASTIC job! This is literally the best song I've heard of the year. Nothing has topped it so far.

[@dsty292]

+Rasmus Faber Dude, the anime was pretty lackluster, your song was literally the best part of it! It's so beautiful!

[@baovtuber]

I CAN'T BELIEVE JUBY USED YOUR ARRANGEMENT MY SOUL IS LEAVING MY BODY

[@NavaroneBoo]

DON"T LEAVE YET. WE STILL NEED MORE AMAZING COVERS AND ORIGINALS FROM YOU //stops soul from leaving your body//

[@Akano]

Ahh I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it :') and now with this cover, super lovely

[@NavaroneBoo]

Akano senpaiiiiiiii thank you so much ; ) Always glad to hear that you enjoyed a video of mine

[@cradow2789]

+Akano yes this song is another lvl of beautifull.

[@jacobdodenhoff9060]

For the last few years I’ve been compiling a list of “The Most Beautiful Songs In The World” and this song is at the very top. Not the original. Your cover. And I quite literally mean this. I’m posting this comment after just waking up from a dream where your cover was the focal point of my dream. It was surreal. No words to describe how beautifully you’ve covered this song. Thank you.

[@v0689]

Can you share us this list

[@blobfish5848]

I'm waiting for the rain I'm bracing for the thunder A twig that wouldn't sway In the wind Awaken from a dream Arising from a slumber I'm far away from home On my own Hear my yearning See the crimson flame Like a ruby It's the hope In my eye If you go away And I don't see you anymore I still wouldn't sway But I'd be Missing you Now don't be afraid You the flower couldn't sting You can hide in my shade Or maybe I... Could I be safe In yours? A moment left to bloom I wither by the morning Can we be staying here For a while Hear my yearning See my raging light It's my token that we won't Say goodbye If you go away And I don't see you anymore I still wouldn't sway But I'd be Missing you Now don't be afraid You the flower couldn't sting You can hide in my shade Or maybe I... Would go away And I don't see you anymore I still wouldn't sway But I'd be Missing you Now don't be afraid We are lasting yet awhile I will give you a day Or maybe I... Could I have one Of yours?

[@abhibiswas9781]

I cry on the inside every time i listen to this

[@christianwilliams6847]

The most amazing cover I've ever heard 😭

[@rsofsof]

환상적이네요. 잘 듣고 갑니다.

[@NavaroneBoo]

UPDATE: Sheet music has finally been transcribed thanks to my good friend UnknownEx1. Be sure to show him some support by checking out his channel. Both the sheets and UnknownEx1's channel are linked in the description. Happy playing = )

[@anthonynguyen8737]

Navarone Boo I wish they were more accurate. Doesn't sound close enough to the original :C

[@luismigueltoromillan5195]

Thank you so much :D Both of U... Printing...

[@JustJoePoke]

It’s been 4 years. A wave of nostalgia carried me back to see this response. Love hearing this, hope you’re well.

[@keithnewman6874]

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this, out of all your covers this is still my favorite. Thank you for this beautiful piece.

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thanks dude = )

[@christianchen2673]

So beautiful, ED's should always be like this.

[@baovtuber]

Excuse you and kanimey, but this song is called Waiting for the Rain and nEITHER OF YOU WAITED FOR ANYTHING/// Just lovely, the sound is so dreamlike~

[@NavaroneBoo]

LOL plz I'm "Waiting for the hikaru station Cover of this Song" ; ) Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it : D

[@seas3335]

I found your channel before you released this cover... But when you uploaded this I seriously thanked the universe for your existence. The original is enchanting, but your cover of it fills me with warmth. I feel like I could listen to it over and over for the rest of my life.

[@Flonkt]

The feelings you put into that song combined with the reverb are gorgeous. You surprise me everytime. I want to thank you for creating such beautiful music

[@NavaroneBoo]

Phleey thank you so much bro. Your comments always make me tear up a bit lol ; )

[@katyc8036]

Holy damn this is really good!!! Great job!! This is definitely going to be added to my playlist!!!! Your so talented

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you s much! :D

[@PxrkJin]

Such a masterpiece! It was very very beautiful, gave me chills from head to toe. I was really amazed by how well you played! I cried to be honest. Keep up the good work!

[@TheSincerety]

Subbed. This cover literally gave me feels. Beautiful.

[@SanjayHundi]

Straight up amazing! Love it man keep up the good work

[@RobertChen]

'Waiting for the Fazioli Asterisk with Maaya Sakamoto in the rain' is what I'm feeling from this cover. Level of Beaut: Grade 10 [ ] Competitive [ ] Sensei-Style Pro [ ] Kousei Arima [ ] Navarone Boo [X] Animenz [ ] Keep practicing man, you're almost there ;)

[@NavaroneBoo]

Lol thank you as always man. Always appreciate your comments xD

[@varuki]

Does anyone have this piece transcribed? I am in love with your version, navarone! Keep up the awesome work!

[@SeleniumGlow]

Yes. Subscribed. I knew that this was a layered sound... and I applaud (whilst standing up) to you for using this for a song as touching as this!

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you very much = )

[@imnohero1102]

as much as i love how this song starts as soon as it gets to 28 seconds.... OH MY OH MY!! and then ince its get to 1:21 WOW!!!

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you very much. = )

[@dannysolid]

Spot on. Very well done. Hope Maaya has heard this rendition. She would love it.

[@Pangtience]

Every time I see your video in my feed I get excited. And now it's interesting to see how many people are inspired by the fantasies that touched the hearts of many (see what I did there lol). And now you have two camera angles and the ability to change your piano sound? UGH you just keep on pushing yourself further I'm jelly now >.

[@NavaroneBoo]

Lol thanks man : )

[@gotboost1183]

1:45 omg love that part so much

[@NavaroneBoo]

I'm glad ; ' )

[@daniellerosevalerio9700]

I like watching your fingers as they press the keys. I love how they dive into it, one after the other. It's like you're getting lost into a sea-deep like trance and you never want to get out of it while playing the song. It's like I'm getting raw emotions while you play it. (:

[@NavaroneBoo]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks = )

[@daniellerosevalerio9700]

You must be playing the piano for more than 5 years to 10 years, right?

[@DunnAskMeh]

This video is amazing, perfect performance to go with a perfect ED. I've honestly probably watched this video 5 times by now.

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you so much : D

[@Retronyx]

piano always make things smoother

[@iSonnyT]

Yay another 'pure' cover from you, it's great in the sense that it allows you to focus on the touch rather than techniques :) Beautifully played!

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thanks Iconic. I enjoy doing these types of covers because I feel like they allow me to stay as emotionally connected to the song as possible. I'm glad you liked it ; ' )

[@Roescoe]

Just listened to your livestream version of this, you really nailed this one.

[@andreakairos5508]

Thank you for your music. It is a beautiful gift. And it touches the heart

[@0SilentLeopard0]

Man, I wish you shared the sheet music for this. Great cover, though! It really made me thinking about playing my piano again. :D

[@장송의프리렌-r7f]

좋은 곡 감사드려요 이 곡을 듣고 피아노를 배워볼 마음이 생겼네요. 정말 감사합니다~ Thank you ♡

[@anjalim.3688]

This was seriously stunning! Chills all over!

[@pianisticanimated3058]

Favorite ending yet.

[@FonziMGM]

No arpeggios? I think I see plenty of them ;)

[@AnimeMidi]

^^

[@NavaroneBoo]

Oh plz you guys know what I meant. B(

[@nataaan8301]

What is an arpeggio?

[@blacksta-r]

@@nataaan8301 An arpeggio is a broken chord, or a chord in which individual notes are struck one by one, rather than all together at once. The word “arpeggio” comes from the Italian word “arpeggiare,” which means "to play on a harp." (“Arpa” is the Italian word for “harp.”)

[@TheRealDocRobertz]

That's probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Bravo good sir, bravo

[@a.karisna5025]

Hi Nav. How is it going? I Hope You're doing well. This year hits me really hard. Coincidentally, I found this video again. Back to those 2014-2015 Anime Seasons, I feel those saudade feelings. All tears, laugh, everything I've passed all of it until now. I realized how far I've walk. Thank you for your rendition. Thank you for existing. Good luck ^-^

[@adrielrodrigues3176]

Still my favorite piano cover on yt

[@christosvaid4454]

Bravo amazing!! you have the feel in your hands!!

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you :D

[@nadfee]

Navarone! A beautiful cover! I love this ED and was planning to play it on the piano myself. Keep it going, I love how you get your covers out pretty quickly!

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thanks so much Nadfee :D

[@vega2599]

Wow. Just wow. I so have to start back playing piano. This was beautiful.

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thanks, and you should definitely pick piano back up again :D

[@planet7694]

Most beautiful cover i heard, many thanks for making this its one of a kind out there.

[@NavaroneBoo]

I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. = )

[@anmizzon]

Hello Navarone Boo, I am lacking words to express how beautiful this is! ... just wanted to let you know that this song and the way you played it are the reason why i decided to pick up playing piano... just hope I have enough time left in my life to play it near as wonderfully!!!

[@withs8689]

I'm playing piano since I was 7.. but in the past I've been playing less and less and I lost all my motivation.. but when I watched this, it gave me so much inspiration!

[@alexw647]

So relaxing...

[@NavaroneBoo]

Lol I'm glad : D

[@HeroComa]

Proud to be Pinoy when we have many talented artists such as yourself😄

[@NavaroneBoo]

[@skyvanisher1639]

Can I like this video and subscribe to you like 1000000 times? This was one of my most beloved songs I've ever heard from the anime and just hearing you paying made it PERFECT!

[@NavaroneBoo]

Haha thanks again Mark. Much appreciated mate = )

[@skyvanisher1639]

I just hope you can handle my praise. XD

[@MissingPhantomXBOX]

[@NavaroneBoo]

[@Cecilia-uf4xl]

I cried while listening to this, I play the piano but I'll never be as talented as you, this is the most beautiful cover I've ever heard and in tears oh my god thank you so much for sharing your talent ;-; please teach me senpai

[@NavaroneBoo]

My gosh that is such an awesome compliment. Thank you so much Cecilia =' )

[@Cecilia-uf4xl]

Navarone Boo You are completely welcome!!! You're so talented, you should try to get a proper career with that because I could see you being one of the best pianists in the world :') no joke!

[@nebulaoxide]

Bellissimo!

[@naeem2303]

Wow! I was feeling super nostalgic and stumbled upon this...such an amazing cover. Would you be cool with me crediting you and adding vocals to this?

[@omegaluuul]

Holy fuck dude this is god level

[@matheusbalbino7054]

It made me cry!

[@12markinlove12]

You're the best, I absolutely love you.

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you

[@jason22492]

I recently got into this song and I happened to run into your video. This might sound weird, but as another person mentioned, your cover has a very AnImenZ feel to it- which I absolutely love. You guys both put so much emotion and feel into your covers. And I'm not exactly sure what piano you were playing on and where it was, but it certainly sounded like a S&S Grand Piano played at a Concert Hall like AnimenZ does, lol! I don't usually comment but I had to let this out haha. I absolutely love your cover. I've been listening to it on loop without getting tired of it. Subscribed!

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you so much man. This comment means so much ; ' ) Oh and by the way, the piano sample I was using, was the Fazioli grand = )

[@IbrahimAzizsutansyah]

feels like my brain gonna split into 4 just by watching your fingers BRAVO BRAVO

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thanks = )

[@kelvin2187]

Hey dude, this is seriously some amazing stuff! Are you considering transcribing a score for this? It would seriously benefit the whole world.

[@EmilyLovesCookies]

So beautiful, made me tear up a little :')

[@NavaroneBoo]

Thank you very much! = )

[@yunya72]
