[Improv] Himawari no Kyoukai, Space Battleship Yamato 2199 OST

[@YehPianoCovers]

The main theme really hit hard, your arrangements of A Fantasy on a Theme of Himawari no Kyoukai will forever be one of the best classics in the anime piano world

[@ChrisLuan]

Glad you've pinned it down as such. Even though I still have no clue about the stories or characters in HimaNatsu, its OST is still unparalleled. 10/10

Getting sneak attacked by Kibou no Mae de Machiawase is making me tearing up thinking about Yomi's route. Thank you for your excellent work, I wish that one day I could play like you.

[@ChrisLuan]

！！ HimaNatsu's music is one of the best and most memorable imo. If I ever read the VN (and any other untranslated VNs) in the future, I hope I'm able to receive the full emotional/thematic impact that it aims to deliver. TY for listening and good luck on your journey!

This is outstanding 😍❤️

[@ChrisLuan]

😸 ✋Head pats for platelets, lol

[@KiraAnimeonPiano]

Chris Luan Kotobara is really good here ❤️ It is very good and I want to play it ☺️ I hope you will finish it soon

[@ChrisLuan]

The sheets for Kotobara are done basically ✔. Here's a bare minimums checklist before I upload a cover on the grand piano: ✅ Recover physically ✅ Tune grand piano ✅ Get help on positioning mics to record ✅ Practice sheets ✅ Get help / learn audio engineering

This medley really reminds me of the time I'm obsessing over your Reverie. Back then, I was an aspiring newbie fresh out on highschool with burning passion for music. Now I'm a 3rd year med student with much bigger priorities, still, it's kinda funny how my passion never really fade. Music is really timeless in a way. I still feel goosebump whenever the main theme hits even though it's been 2 years now since I found it. Thanks man, your work is really a hidden gem, a damn memorable one at that :)

[@ChrisLuan]

The main theme is still my favorite of all the tracks from HimaNatsu. Similarly, Reverie is my favorite arrangement of everything I've made so far because it captures the inspiration I felt from giving concerts in Taiwan as well as from the OST itself. I understand too that sometimes there'll be bigger priorities in life than hobbies. But, passion makes us return to the nest no matter how much time passes.

[@CSMPiano]

btw, I think I should follow your footstep and uploding improv. as a stress reliever or something lol

[@ChrisLuan]

Yeah why not! You already composed your own songs, so you can do it.

[@larkincao7297]

Kris, sometimes i'm so painful to play my keyboard because it touches really soft, and it sounds wheird.But i think Chris you did good in this piano.😁

[@ChrisLuan]

[@Pestiliance]

It's Always Interesting To Hear Something New. *Thanks For This Experience*

[@ChrisLuan]

*You're welcome!*

[@LouisR56]

Waiting for that Kotobara official cover man, the first preview you did back then hyped me af! Also really interesting medley! Do not hesitate to post more improv, always a pleasure for ears. It's truly a dream of mine to be able to improv like this, but my music theory knowledge and my technique are not good enough, far from it... Edit: Eien wo Negau Toki still is one of my favorite ost ever... such beauty, I really hope to be able to play your full Fantasy one day, fortunately it doesn't seem to be your most technical arrangement, even though really advanced

[@ChrisLuan]

Kotobara in the style of Chopin + yours truly --- coming as soon as all the grand piano/recording/hand problems are fixed. I'm new to improvising (relatively speaking) as well, but I know it's hard to start. Imo, to begin your journey of improvising, just *cough* let it go. Sit down at the piano and fool around. I don't think about music theory when I improvise. I just do play whatever - usually the songs that I like and that have stuck with me over a long period of time. The main theme of HimaNatsu is a lullaby. Literally, it should be one of the songs used to bring about world peace. Looking forward to the day you upload your cover of my Reverie fantasy! 😉

[@joe-keys]

Glad to see you back man! quality improvisation!! well done as usual! :) btw I'm still waiting for your Orange & Connect final covers , been more than a year since your improvs , I'm still eager to hear the final versions ^^

[@ChrisLuan]

Yeah man, my hand and the grand piano are both busted while I still have to figure out how to use mics the right way. (Animenz, please share the process with us lol)

[@joe-keys]

hahahaha I see! (yeah Animenz teach us senpai)

[@Kemonoz]

I'm not a big Fan for digital pianos but your playing and this great catchy sound wraps all of it ;D good job!

[@ChrisLuan]

Yeah me too, not a fan of playing on digital pianos but it's the best temporary solution right now. Hope to return to the grand piano and solve some of the problems with it.

[@Thundenfury]

Thanks man for always reminding me how awesome Himawaris soundtrack 😭

[@ChrisLuan]

I just had to. 👌HimaNatsu is the best

[@MacQui]
