Guilty Crown OP - My Dearest (full version)

[@TehIshter]

300,000 subscribers special!! I will perform this in my Philippines concert, November 5, 2015. Location, time, and schedule here: narutocosplayers.com/forezine-fest/ You might notice, the sheets are missing even though I planned for it. Well… I hate to admit it but my abilities are not enough to transcribe the runs. They’re just too complicated. Any transcribers out there, if you’re up for the work, please transcribe my Guilty Crown OP arrangement!

[@KazutoKirigaya-je1vb]

At least this one is playable unlike animenz's

[@aliasjrod]

+Kazuto Kirigaya agreed

[@jyavant]

You know what I find disappointing? You only freaking 300,000 subscribers when you deserve a freaking 1M or more!!! LIKE IF YOU AGREE THAT Theisher DESERVES MORE!!!!!!!!! Spread the talent that Theister has and show it to everyone you know!

[@aliasjrod]

+TheAnimeMaster agreed

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@ofermossinson2910]

[@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.

[@jaredjosephsongheng372]

So how did it go?

[@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 ^^

[@imnothung]

Damn this made me tear up a bit ;')

[@EquesX]

+PianoHero Anime Piano I don't know if Ishter ever realizes how much he affects people, but it's amazing what his music can do. :)

[@aliasjrod]

yo. . .I'm not 100% sure if the one you listened to was from Theishter or animenz, but i love em both and they both impact lives more than we could ever imagine. . . i always listen to one or the other when doing my homework

[@pianohero87]

+Acapellic Beats yo. i know 100% which one i watched XD

[@ZackyThePianist]

I've been following you for more than 3 years now, and this is one of the most passionate playing I've heard you done over the years! Congrats on the milestone :D Next stop, 400k subs!

[@katym8874]

I use to listen to this when I was in middle school and LOVED it. I would write to it and dream of the stories I would tell in the future. Slowly I fell out of listening to this channel for what ever reason, but always kept this song in the back of my mind. The past year I've been trying to find it but to no avail. I'm writing a short story now, having won writing competitions, with plans to make a career out of storytelling in film and books and go to college. This channel popped up into my recs just now and I thought 'huh, this seems familiar.' I scrolled through the uploads and sure enough, this song is there. If only I could go back in time and tell my younger self to indulge in writing when ever I felt like it. To write and write and love every second and not be ashamed. To be confident in what I liked and shout it loudly to anyone near. I just can't believe how far I've come in only five years, and this song has witnessed it. Thank you Theishter, for providing my younger self, and current self, with inspiration. I'm sure my future self with thank you too. Here's to all us creatives, may we always hold each other up, do what we love, and always be proud. Maybe one crazy day we'll see each other in the field

[@sharonhanandi1806]

Just watched animenz's new ver. of my dearest but couldn't help but think this arrangement touched my heart the most. This arrangement just never fail to make me cry when I feel like crying. Thank you so much theishter :)

[@idiotuwu8410]

Every time I was thinking about quitting piano I would watch this video and think to myself “someday I could play like this” This brought light into my life

[@svixiz5440]

Anyone from 2019? I love this song I keep coming back to this

[@ikaru_sakae8826]

[@dmadaffari]

I just stumbled upon this from an anime playlist, and this is one of the most moving pieces I’ve ever heard. Thank you for the English translations, the song is very beautiful. You are a terrific pianist and your style is very much your own.

[@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.

[@iyasunozomu8979]

I could feel the emotion put into making this piece. All I can say is.... Amazing! Thank you soooo much for this cover, Theishter.

[@gedoensz7433]

A friend suggested me your channel, and I'm so glad he did! I just love your arrangements♡ They are just perfect to me. I think you're really able to catch the songs' atmosphere and make even more out of it! And as 'My Dearest' is one of my favourite songs, I wanna thank you for playing it that beautiful ♡

[@zengarang]

I just threw aside my homework as soon as I saw this pop up on my notifications. Wow. Such a faithful adaptation to one of the finest openings out there. 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! :)

Immer wenn ich (22, männlich) mich wirklich schlecht gefühlt habe in letzter Zeit und irgendetwas schief gegangen ist, höre ich mir einfach nur deine Musik an, bis ich zu diesem Lied komme und immer an der selben Stelle hoffnungslos in Tränen ausbreche.. Es ist einfach wie als wenn alle angestauten Emotionen nur darauf warten in diesem einen Moment 'rausgelassen zu werden. Es ist nicht einfach nur die Art und Weise wie du dieses Lied spielst sondern auch einfach dieser wunderschöne Text der mich einfach nur realisieren lässt, dass es nie zu spät oder vorbei ist. Ich muss dir einfach für dieses Meisterwerk danken, welches mich schon aus so vielen depressiven Phasen gerissen hat, auch wenn ich nicht wirklich weiß, wie dies Zustande kommt. Danke.

[@PianoPrinceOfAnime]

This arrangement speaks out your personality, Ishter. Great job. Just...Great... I can't tell you how much i am crying now..

[@catloverfan]

Your rearrangement of the english translation of the lyrics really made me appreciate the song SO MUCH MOREEE

[@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!

[@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~

[@Rriuiu]

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. I found myself getting quite a bit teary-eyed. This arrangement is an absolute gift. Thank you.

[@iSonnyT]

Beautiful...just beautiful. Perfectly expressed the emotion and intention of the piece, and the pain and sadness we all felt as we witnessed the events that unfolded in Guilty Crown. This is still my favourite anime piece all these years. A special congratulations for hitting the big 300k milestone, I too am one of the pianists that began off following your inspiring playing back in 2013. I still remember your Odds & Ends cover, and it just made me go and pick up Piano! All the best to you in the future, Ishter, I guarantee you that your fans will keep on growing and continue to enjoy the art you create with those two hands :)

[@xiventale]

[@syauronz]

This is so beautiful... I love it so much. You've gain a new fan today. Thank you for playing such a beautiful song.

[@HopeEsleim1101]

The variations were magnificent, and frankly... You took this piece and made it your own in the coolest way possible. I feel the same way you do about the song as well. This song is truly special, and, for its overall composition and arrangement, deserves to be one of the greatest anime songs ever. You said it yourself. It's a song that reaches the soul and shakes the heart. I just love it, Theishter. What else can I tell you? You should be so very proud. I extend my deepest thanks for working on it and sharing it with us.

[@darkregex]

...for the next section like you wanted it to! 4:43-5:07 just absolutely breathtaking. It made me just want to be free of everything and just bust my lungs, screaming in ecstasy because of how beautiful that solo section was (weird way to put it, but whatever. How I felt is what I am describing lol). 5:10-5:24 seemed to conclude the piece into that semi-final transition I think you wanted. 5:25 and on just finalized the piece into one, soul-groping finale. I tried to describe what this piece meant to me in words that truly are what I felt. I'm glad to have found you on KZbin Ishter. I truly would be lost if I hadn't found you. My life would be dull and full of nothingness. This milestone of 300k subs marks a special moment in your career as a KZbinr, and this (updated) full cover of Guilty Crown was possibly the best thing you have transcribed. You really deserve every single one of those likes, views, and subscribers you have gained over the past 4 years for the hard work...

[@darkregex]

...you put into your covers; all your emotions, skills, and soul. A very massive congratulations to you on reaching this milestone. Keep changing the lives of everyone who comes by your channel; convince them with your abilities that they can do the same.

[@talonupson199]

I am ashamed to say that this is my first time watching this video, but I think I can say that even out does Animenz' 10th An. version of this song. The way that Theishter puts emotion into his music is what I admire most about him. Thank you so much for contributing to my list of favorite anime piano covers! This definitely made it into the top 5, maybe even into the top 3.

[@MrStufferino]

It's when you do things like this, Ishter, that you inspire each and every one of us. Watching you develop over the years right up until this summary has been an honour. I look up to you and aspire to play like you every day and with every session I spend at my piano. I'm still very new to this all, in comparison with how far you've come, but I really believe I feel as strongly about the piano and anime as anyone possibly can. Just as you continue to work hard and pour your soul and passion into your arrangements, I will do the same with listening to, appreciating and even playing all of the songs you and I both love. Thanks for everything thus far, and let's look forward to the future!

[@botagasss]

Man, wish I hadn't made a long break on piano, if I had developed the talent I had as a younger child... haha, well, wish I could ever learn that! I still haven't given up, looking forward to learning pieces of yours such as this one, Euterpe, Elfen Lied's and such. I'm not well familiar with fast notes, that's what I wished I had learned over the years, and getting used to fast hops isn't easy for me either, but you know, there's lifetime for me to learn those, promise on that one! ^-^ You're an amazing artist, truly! Keep up all the wonderful work!

[@jasonyang4842]

Indescribable, I'm near tears after watching this. This beautiful piece contains so many emotions and is an explosion to the absolute best.

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. :)

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...

Well, all right then. I just cried over a song I've never heard before from a show I've never seen. I don't care if it takes me well into the next life, I _will_ learn how to play this instrument.

[@LulzingBoy]

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

[@DaffWings]

Honestly, it sounded like your piano was singing the song :O That was such a amazing cover Ishter, i hope you never stop uploading videos

[@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

I JUST FINISHED LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THIS OVER A SPAN OF A YEAR AND YEESSSS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ISHTER

[@draaxus2969]

Out of curiosity, how long have you been playing? I'm wondering if it's possible for a beginner who can somewhat comprehend sheets to learn this in a year or so.

[@RK.apathetic]

@@draaxus2969 it’s more in your muscle memory or... idk what to call it, but practicing individuality with your hands and letting them dance, is the best way to put it. I’ve been playing for a while, yes, comprehending sheets is important but, the hand technique and the, emotion you put into it counts. If that makes sense... 4 years to answer. I have a long way to go, but I have faith in you boss.

[@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.)

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!

[@Eunoiadayo]

been here for years. ever since 100k? or 200? now rewatching this makes me cry and i feel so special. love u Ishter, you're one of the reasons why I played the piano. don't bother me ik this is old but i just can't find my old comment :p

"So everything that makes me whole, Ima kimi ni sasageyo" Ahhh so heartwarming thanks Theister for this beautiful rendition

its been more than a year since this video was uploaded, and my 2nd fav piano cover of ur channel

[@mathiasfantoni2458]

Agreed… I listen very much to this one and "Let Me Hear" from Kiseijuu (Parasyte). In fact I am trying to transcript these two piano arrangements of his into sheets as detailed as I can. So, yeah. I mostly listen to these two songs, but love the others as well! ^^

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!

[@NeiR]

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.

Hold on to this resolve my friend. I love when I get to see someone mature by enduring the countless hardships that life rains down upon you then latching on to something you cherish and holding on to that feeling to push through anything in your way to chase after it. That's resolve my friend keep up the good work Ishter.

Me hearing in 2021, still didnt watch the anine, but the song that you played in piano...make me cry..

[@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.

[@gabrielmaisonet2843]

I loved it. Your Triple baka was, dare I say, what got me into piano. Now I'm in the classical world, playing difficult pieces, and chasing my dreams in the world of music. Thank you ishter (I have many others to thank as well), and i will admit, this transcription made me cry. I just couldn't take the nostalgia of your "My Dearest" playing, mixed with the nostalgia of the actual anime. Thanks again! Love to see the progress you've made over the last year (I first heard you one year ago!), keep up the good work man!

[@alexcmadgaming8448]

Update: It still hits. Just a hard.

[@Khora]

You made me cry ;-;. And ive never cried to this song alone, this arrangement that you made is somehow more expressfull then the song itself with lyrics... i have no words tbh

[@TKAnimeonPiano]

I'd still like to tell you. Thank you for all the work you've done Theishter . Your arrangement inspired me a lot. You're the one who inspired me to be Anime Pianist. My arrangements might sound similar to yours ( if you watch my Theme of SSS and Dear you). 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. Now I am arranging Triple Baka (mostly from your style). Sadly, I have to prepare myself for University Entrance Exam, so I don't have time for recording the songs. Anyway, thanks for reading this and Good luck ! Congrats with your 300k subscribers too. Greetings from Thailand !! P.S. Sorry for bad English Grammar.

Congratulations on reaching that fantastic milestone, Ishter! Your performances never cease to inspire me. Please continue regaling us with these beautiful, lyrical, incredibly emotional and impressionistic compositions. You, Animenz, and all of the amazing anime pianists that grace KZbin not only amplify my passion for music - specifically the piano - but also light an unwavering spark in the deepest recesses of my soul. You've helped me confirm that music is who I am, and who I'm meant to be. I can't thank you enough.
