Guilty Crown OP - My Dearest (full version)

[@Nuppettepiano]

No, thank you Theishter... Without you, thousands of pianists (including myself) would've never picked up the piano again. Some never would've even started to play. But you know what... We all saw your passion. We saw that you were putting every ounce of effort and passion into your playing, and we were astounded. We said to ourselves, "I want to be like him one day, spreading my emotions to anyone that will listen. I want to be able to express my joy, anger, sadness, and excitement through the piano just like him." So thank you again Theishter, for inspiring so many of us.

[@Nuppettepiano]

Shoot this probably sounded cheesy lol.

[@LifeRaito]

+Nuppette Yeah. you are absolutly right!

[@VoraXYZ]

No, not cheesy. His Dear You video create a spark in me to pick up where I left off in piano. It gave me the motivation to go on.

[@owlstreet]

+Nuppette Totally not cheesy by the way, and I agree. I had been playing the piano, but because of a bunch of different things, including Your lie in April it sort of inspired me to play more for myself rather than just because my teacher was liek, "PLAY THIS QUIET! PLAY THIS LOUD!" (Not an accurate representation...)

[@KobeEscalante]

Well said

[@vahlia2935]

This makes me so happy. I subscribed to you way back, probably 5 years ago. I was just a young pianist who was tired of playing classical music and was at the point where I wanted to quit (after about 6 years of playing). I had just begun my weeb phase and listening to the piano in the anime bgm made me wonder if I could play it myself. I found you. And although my little hands couldn't play it completely, I simplified your sheets and played those. Now, I go back, and I can play them, the entire sheet, every single note. Thank you for inspiring me to continue piano and spreading such a wonderful work of art through music. You deserve every last subscriber. ^_^

[@vahlia2935]

Oops lol 4 years ago not 5.

[@orangewaffle1103]

+Hady Liu Agree with a lot of what you said. I played classical songs 5-6 years but I never had much motivation to practice. Later I discovered piano arrangements of OST from video games, and starting learning songs like N's Farewell and To The Moon and later when I got into anime, I started learning songs from that too, and I found out about how many more great songs there are to play from anime, too. (Shigatsu ftw!)

[@ofermossinson2910]

+OrangeWaffle this sound exactly like my story! 2 years ago I played only what my piano teacher told me to, and then I found To The Moon . I really liked the OST and wanted to learn some parts of it. While looking for piano sheets for "For River" I found this channel thanks of a few random clicks. That's basically how I got Into anime. I also found alot of new amazing songs that I really wanted to learn, but this time instead of looking for piano sheets on the internet I just arranged them from hearing. I'm planning to open an anime piano youtube channel soon because I have ALOT of songs that I learned but I never actually played them to anyone.

[@noncircadian]

Breathtakingly beautiful. I can't thank you enough for this amazing cover. There were certainly some moments that I teared up (the lyrics were a great addition to the emotional experience). "My Dearest" is most definitely the best anime song, and, if I might add, probably the most passionate. Ryo is the king of sentimental, heartstring-tugging music, and you have most certainly done him justice. Good job on 300,000 subscribers, and here's to everything to come! :)

[@pianohero87]

holy shit. this brings me WAAAAY back when I watched your first my dearest arrangement. At the time, I was very ill and was so sick and tired of being ill that I locked myself in at home. Then one day, when I was feelz attacked by the latest Guilty Crown episode, I searched My Dearest into KZbin. I can't remember clearly, but I think that once I got better, I immediately printed your sheets and started playing the piano again (along with living a normal life). Thanks for everything Ishy. Keep it up, and see you soon ^^

[@JC-rn9xc]

Hey I’m 14 years old and my family inherited my great grandparents piano last year. I have always loved the piano and was so exited to learn new songs and become a pianist. However, I quickly realized that the piano is much, much more difficult than it comes off to be. I had just started my weeb phase ( now I’m just an “anime enthusiast”), and was listening to sadness and sorrow when I saw a video from theishter. I discovered the world of anime piano and I have been learning songs and developing technique and practicing lots of songs. I became bored however, because the songs I wanted to play were either too hard, or I didn’t think it was worth it to learn it. And just when I was about to give up on the piano, I saw in the description on unravel from animenz the hardest song he’s transcribed, my dearest. I became intrigued, and listened to his version, and I loved it. I can feel all the emotion and just the essence of what anime is that separates it from just cartoons. I saw this version, and watched it and I cried. I felt the emotions, the power that this song has that separates it from any other I have ever heard. I’m going to try to learn this song, even i it takes me a year or 2 years, because I love it. I have no formal training, nor the music theory knowledge, but I’m good with my hands ig. Anyways, thank you theisher for making these songs, and I hope you keep making music. Sincerely, some kid who loves piano

[@crunchylemon2849]

Me 2. I've been learning because of my dearest animenz. It inspired me, I have no musical training and my parents are fucking crazy people that hate piano. I can play the first 8 bars of my dearest tho. I'm happy.

All of your emotions from your past several years of piano experience summed up into one fantastic arrangement. The biggest of congratulations for 300,000 subscribers, and here's to many more years of great covers! :)

[@primeartonline-pianocovers1535]

Amen

[@Pangtience]

This is extremely inspiring. Watching your earlier videos and seeing how you've grown, as a pianist, as a video editor... no, as a KZbinr... That really shows what you've become and how you've managed to get so far. A lot of us (not me) have been with you since the beginning. I hope I speak for them in saying that we'll always be with you, behind you, no matter what you do or what happens. Please never stop creating these wonderful videos and do what you love, because it's clear that we also love it as well. In regards to the arrangement, it's very clear that you know how to choose when to include simple segments, and smoothly transition with arps, chords (oh man the diminished chords and walking chord progressions UGH). I don't really want to get into it because I feel that this is really something that should be enjoyed without really thinking about the mechanics; just sitting here, listening to what you've accomplished with the English lyrics right below... That's true bliss. ^^ Also, if no one else transcribes the sheets, I'll do it. But I have a lot on my plate with other contracts so I'd prefer if someone else does it. I'll check back to see how many people randomly upvote this comment to see if it's worth my time, since I'm new to KZbin in general so no one really knows about my transcription skills.

[@KoeruCovers]

You just uploaded a 'My Dearest' arrangement too!

[@TehIshter]

+Pangtience Thanks for being there for such a long time man. I've said in the other comment, it's very rare for people to stick this long with any internet person, so the fact that you've still tuned in is amazing. I'll keep my head up high, and hope to lead my part of the anime community to bigger heights!

[@Pangtience]

+✿ Koeru Haha yea that's just for a friend who was asking for it. I plan on doing something different for my recording version ^^, and I might try to transcribe Ishters guilty crown version if people are interested~

[@KoeruCovers]

"My Dearest is most likely one of the BEST anime songs ever. It will come down as a true anime classic. The lyrics, the song composition… everything about it is simply amazing and I’ve put my soul into arranging it to the best of my ability. The atmosphere alone, as if I can feel the confidence and dedication of ryo’s and supercell’s musical ideas through it." I agree 100% and that was *BEAUTIFUL,* Ishter. Congrats on 300K! Thank you for this arrangement/video. And play on!

I'm not one to make these type of posts, and I'm not even sure if you'll get to read this but I'd still like to say: A huge thanks for all the work you've done so far Ishter. Ironically enough, it was one of your vocaloid arrangements (Triple Baka) that got me back into piano after quitting for about 7 years. It was my first time seeing arpeggios ever and I couldn't help but wanting to learn how. Soon enough I looked into the rest of your covers, and that more or less began my interest in anime piano, eventually leading to me to start my own channel after a year and a half. So congrats on 300k subs, you really deserved it. I'm sure we all really appreciate your contributions to the anime pianist community =)

[@EquesX]

+Anime Pianist Toshi-kun I NOTICED YOU SENPAI~!!! T^T In all seriousness, glad you decided to start playing again. You guys always seem to have fun playing. I think one time Ishter said that he isn't at the same level as Animenz and Kyle L (or he didn't see himself at their level). That may or may not be true, but I've always placed him up there with Animenz and Kyle. They are all different, but extraordinary in their own ways. I forgot where I was going with this comment, but keep pushing man! Ishter did, and this is by far his masterpiece. :)

[@jetschmelzer2493]

I quit playing piano about 3 years ago. What had started as a desire to have a skill became a tedious chore. I didn’t want to play anymore. My teacher had told me that I was a Diamond that needed dusting in front of another one of his students. This was while I was having a hard time with practicing. It inspired me for a bit before I just gave up. I still dabble with the piano to be able to keep my skill but hearing this arrangement of this song of which I didn’t even know existed, now I want to play again. So thank you for creating beautiful music and giving me a goal of what I want to become.

I never ever ever comment on KZbin videos because frankly I find it too toxic, but this arrangement made me feel so painfully nostalgic and at the same time I felt as though I was listening to something entirely new and beautiful.

Who the fucking hell can dislike this?

[@pathfinder018]

haters thinking "too much show off" or Animenz lovers who doesn't accept the fact that this song is better than Animenz's

[@blloopy7631]

Ethan Paul Cataritas ok. I agree about you saying about the haters part but saying that theisther's transcription of My Dearest is better than Animenz's one is going a little bit too far. Music is subjective, which means some people prefer theisther's version, some prefer Animenz's one (for me is theisther's one, although I also do like Animenz's version). So don't go around saying that theisther's version of My Dearest is better than Animenz transcription, because some people may get triggered by your childish attitude (not saying that you are childish but... you know)

[@pathfinder018]

lol I understand. There are just those who doesn't like the fact that this is better than Animenz's, but what I meant is that they believed it was better and they won't accept it. Like you said, we have our own preferences but sometimes there are people who are just too much of a fan to one player and dislike the other who they believe is annoying/better/showy or became an obstacle to their favorite player if that's what they viewed it as. Although both Theishter and Animenz are good buddies, there are fans that won't agree to that terms and would do such thing as disliking or out of pride or such.

Speaking of Dear you, whenever I listened to your version of Dear You, I always go back and improvise my arrangement again and again hoping it will sound like your version.

Honestly you are such an inspiration to me who is a simple self taught pianist! I've been watching your videos and content for years and have been watching you evolve. All I can say is thank you for inspiring me! You're the kind of pianist I aspire to be!! Thank you! And keep up the great work!!!!

[@fl4778]

i saw the guilty crown music here and decided to watch it NO REGRETS HERE

[@deliarnawidya6482]

SAME

[@MarkusAndersen96]

This actually made me very emotional, even though I've listened to the original song a million times ;_; good job, man! I sang along to the japanese lyrics inside my head, and allowed the emotions to flow

[@DrJohnZoidberg125]

I feel you, man. Damn right he's good.

[@rebeccayiu397]

0:15 - 0:38 I am in love

[@stephenschur9504]

I've been practicing very hard for the last 3 days and I can finally play up to where the lyrics start. Your transcriptions are why I am learning the piano. It isnt hard or impossible, its just a lot of work, but boy does it pay off when you get that certain chord combination off and feel that moment of bliss, stand up, and say to yourself "Im done here." (Then proceed to come back an hour later and find you need to work on that area again... ugh.)

[@darkregex]

Who could ever forget that intro of 0:00-0:14? When it started with that oh-so-nostalgic verse at 0:15, it made me so warm inside...everything that caused stress to me seemed to flow out of me at that point. Pure passion. That's all I felt listening to the intro 0:15-0:38. . . When the unforgettable main chorus happened at 2:21, it made me want to scream out the lyrics of the song; the song brings back so many wonderful memories~ 2:37-2:45 The arpeggios made it sound like you were painting a rainbow of artistic talent. 2:47-53 Dat amazing section you added to balance it was so, um...(I can't describe it. I really can't) XD 2:54 Those smooth left-hand arpeggios were so gentle; it contrasted perfectly with the melody happening in the right; it was like a soft, whispering breeze. 3:46-3:48 Downward arpeggio was 👌. Your Yamaha grand is so rich in sound it really brought out the grandeur of the section starting at 4:15; it was so majestic. That bass buildup at 4:39-4:43 caused that want...

[@xsmee1461]

DECEMBER 2019!!!! Anyone?

[@neon8589]

Right here! Hoping the holidays bring some much needed time to work on my own piano goals :)

[@war_paragon]

I watched one of your videos maybe 3 or 4 years ago and thought you were amazing.You've only gotten better since! Keep it up!

[@ClaudeThePianist1]

That's nice, now play it together with Animenz :D I'd love to see what comes out of that you both have such amazing versions of the same song.

[@jodez1]

YYEEESSSSSS

[@pianoanimeonline9616]

Notice how they sound so different ! Ishter's is the most original thing I've ever seen

[@jodez1]

Yea definitely agree

[@AliciaPinkyDollsYTx]

YES! YES! I WANT TO SEE THEM IN A DUET WITH THIS SONG TOO! ^_^

[@KobeEscalante]

Well, I'm actually transcribing my own version of My Dearest, and I'm putting details from them. +Theishter - Anime on Piano - and +Animenz Piano Sheets Hope you don't mind, copyright issues and yadda.

[@CatchingYourCloudsxx]

A true masterpiece. This song really helped me get through a lot of stuff and hearing you play it makes me really happy, yet emotional at the same time. Good job, you never fail to make your viewers speechless!

[@popcream2082]

Ohboy. Haven't seen the name of the anime for a while now .

[@KetchupReturns]

So I read the description while the song was playing. I sobbed like a little baby. I've loved your work for quite a few years now, and while at the moment I don't have the time nor money to buy a piano and start learning, I'd love to one day be able to play your songs and share the beauty of them. You're an amazing person, thank you for all your work, +Theishter.

[@yonghengdichuanshuo]

Perfect dynamic control! It brings me on the past and it makes me remember that feeling which I had had when I had been watching the TV series. You has put your own feeling and yourself into this song. Probably ur arrange. would be the best.

[@PaintAMelody]

lol the difference between your arrangement from now compared to 2 years ago is like a major upgrade. can't wait for your style to be polished even further.

[@flaviomonteiro6994]

You are the reason I started to play piano and got to know some wonderful people. Thank you very much for all these years playing piano and keeping the good work of outstanding quality. I have no words to describe my gratitude and admiration for you. I really hope to see you in a live concert someday.

[@Iciezra]

holy crap i don't comment often but tehishter you are my personal fav over animenz (no offense animenz ur great) your camera angles, the lyric translations, the way the camera literally shook from you hitting the keys: you play with so much emotion and that's exactly why i respect you as a fellow musician... SUPERB! 前に進み続けるよ！

[@TheyBenefit]

Do Rain by SID from FMA: Brotherhood OP #5

[@BboyDaquack]

Wow..... literally jaw dropping. Animenz My Dearest is what brought me back to the piano. this really gives the song a whole different life of it's own. amazing how you can do that!

[@Vindex010]

This just randomly popped up in my recommended feed. I didn't know that I needed this. It gave me the shivers the whole time while imagining Koeda singing real slowly to this. Great video, reaaally great

[@lunebbq8981]

Despite never watching Guilty Crown before, My Dearest is actually one of my favourite anime openings. I got to say that you really did justice on your cover, because you were able to capture the sheer power and strength in the actual song sung by Supercell. To be honest, I've been hoping that you'll be doing a cover on Hikari no Senritsu in the future, for it is another of my favourite openings. Keep on playing your beautiful instrument and continue making wonders with your musical passion!

[@TrueNeutralEvGenius]

What a sweet tale. Too bad it's only a tale, illusion. Harsh reality destroys it easily.

[@TehIshter]

+Destroyerru The point of tales (or ideals really) are to support reality, because reality by itself is very brittle.

[@TrueNeutralEvGenius]

Theishter - Anime on Piano I know what you mean... And how I want to agree... But no. Reality is stronger than anything. Ideals and tales are brittle, like dust. Like we ourselves. Bang, and we are gone. As well as all sweet lies people imagine and rub to themselves. Illusions. It's just easier to live like that. Humans are cowards, they don't want to think when they are dead it's actually the end, it's over, and nothing is there, just nothing, emptiness, void. No one will remember us. Nothing will left. No sense at all. Absurdism.

[@SwuzzyBoy]

+Destroyerru Our reality of life is that we will one day die. That is true for anything that is living. Eventually, everything will be gone so why do anything? We do things to enjoy them. The tales that we see are nothing more than the imaginations of another person. That person will have put what they think into their own tale. So even as we disappear as a humans, die and may even eventually be forgotten, a tale shall remain behind. A tale that could in itself disappear just like the writer, or it will go on to change the future. And ultimately, it too will disappear. Even if we will all disappear one day into nothingness, I want to try and create my own tale because to leave a mark on someone, or something, whether it lasts a second or an eternity, it will have meant something.

[@TrueNeutralEvGenius]

SwuzzyBoy You are wrong as well. Hedonism is not for everyone, so "we" there is inappropriate. You are making sweet illusions for yourself. Tale will not remain as well. All will be lost. Like tears in Rain. It will not mean anything. As I said earlier, there is no sence at all. Absurdism.

[@SwuzzyBoy]

Destroyerru To an extent, there is always a reason why people try to live. To create a tale that can be shattered by the smallest blow or to stand strong against the entirety of the world. Although life may not be about seeking pleasure, finding a reason to live almost results in the same thing. In the end, it is true nothing will mean anything, but that is what makes life so special. Our actions will ultimately mean nothing, so nothing can hold us back. You continue to live for some reason, or else you would not be here responding to someone over the internet. That alone shows that reality is enough for you. Your reality will one day become a tale and disappear forever. Life may no have sense, but I believe that is what makes it worth living. Live your life, take from it what you will and never regret it.

[@smithrooks]

Man... the soft tones of the verses and the pure power of the choruses are amazing. I really like the simple and strong style in the first part, and the flowing, clear runs of the latter half are fantastic. Wonderful performance, you've really improved!

[@D4rkM00n1]

I cannot thank you enough for giving this sheets freely dude... seriously, you rock! much love from portugal! i am already learning the Knew Day and This one :DDD all thanks to you

[@kwk1586]

Sir it would be great ..if a violinist will accompany you ..if you don't mind..

[@DaveTheMedic]

+Red One I second this. The couple of videos with xclassicalcat or whatever her youtube username is have been awesome

[@LulzingBoy]

practically shed tears. the lyrics feel more realistic through the way you play piano. Love it!

[@desu_desuneko9507]

Im sorry Animenz but Theishter did better than you on this one mate.

[@SheetMusicDesu]

The sound of your piano and the channels that comes to my ears are the best of it's quality. You achieve perfect dynamics and THOSE CHORDS ;_; so much kokoro piercing effect.

[@Someoneplaypiano]

Just a wonder, i notice that most of animenz comments is no longer on this channel or am i just think so and idk what really happen from them both especially theisther thats all and if you see this isther i hope youre doing well for past 2 years-ish and i'm still waiting for more of your piano music soon and whenever i feel like coming back here i will always choose this song because it just powerfully beautiful arranged by you.

[@MrGorillaspam]

As someone who has followed both your channel and animenzzz for years now, I always was of the opinion the animenzzz had the more established style. You know what you're getting with him (not to say it isn't amazing because lets be honest I've listened to his covers countless times), but with Theishter I found myself thinking to myself "whats he going to bring this time?" with each video. There has been an evolution over years and its really cool to see. While its natural for the two of you to be compared (same genre, friends/rivals, some times the same pieces) your playing has really come into its own and you should be proud of each and every transcription you have created. The changes I've seen in these pieces are incredible and its all summed up in this latest version of My Dearest. You and you alone bring a unique emotional style of playing when transcribing anime pieces and I believe that expresses just how attached people like yourself and I are to the music and content involving anime. Thank you for showing the world how important anime can be to a person through music.

[@Zanguinem]

I've loved this song since the first time I watched Guilty Crown and it always made me feel sad, happy, excited, and depressed at the same time. The only thing I can say about this version is that you did a great job man, keep it up nad thank you!
