いのちの名前 Spirited Away -The Name of Life (with Synthesia) Makiko Hirohashi

[@HirohashiMakiko]

リクエストにより、"Synthesia"というソフトを使って落ちるブロックの画像を合わせてみました。 もっとスターウォーズのライトセイバーのように光らせたかったですが...。 そのためには違うソフトウェアを購入（新しいPCも）しなければならず、諦めました。 また鍵盤を上部から撮影する機材も、今回は諦めました。 ライトセーバーのようなブロックが降ってきたり、鍵盤に火花や煙が上がるかっこいい動画ができたらいいのですけどね.....(T_T） そのかわりに、カオナシがうっすらと浮かび上がります。 Upon request, I tried to use a software called "Synthesia" to match the images of the falling blocks. I wanted to make it shine more like a Star Wars lightsaber. But to do that, I had to buy different software (and a new PC) and gave up. I also gave up on the equipment for shooting the keyboard from above. I wish I could make a cool video with blocks like a lightsaber falling and sparks and smoke rising on the keyboard .....(T_T) But!! Instead, Kaonashi(No-face) emerges slightly.

[@rrmarba]

I think doing the view from above + synthesia would boost your views a lot

[@HirohashiMakiko]

I agree. I bought a large stand that shoots the keyboard from above. For the next shoot, I will try from above! 👍

Thanks for the effort! It is a very helpful video to go along with your sheet music for a beginner like me :)

[@ronniexuan389]

your arrangement is alway amazing! now i can practice more efficiently by watching this synthesia version,thank you!

[@HirohashiMakiko]

Thank you!! I play this on free tempo. Therefore, the blocks are not evenly arranged. Since I rely on the pedals, the amount of time I hold down the keyboard with my fingers is not the true length of the sound. The blocks of a music game have the perfect tempo, and the length of the sound is the same as the score. (Human performances have more random data. I'm sorry.) The exact block will be more helpful. However, please understand that it is not a type-in, but the actual performance data.😊

[@ronniexuan389]

@@HirohashiMakiko you are right, quantification of your performance(or anyone else) is a big thing. The only thing human can't quantificate is the emotion they confide. but that software is still useful. At least it seems more directly than a musical notation ^_^

[@Lentreeo]

I'm leaning this piece right now. I got your sheet music and it's a great help but I still like to watch your synthesia too. It's a lot of work especially to get comfortable with the movements in my wrists but I like to practice and I start to improve. 😁 It looks so easy and gentle when you play it though 😅

[@HirohashiMakiko]

Thank you very much. Fingering differs from person to person, so try to find ways to make it easier for you. I hope you enjoy playing it.😊

[@Lentreeo]

I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm at minute 3:00 and it is quite some work to play the melody line from 3:00 - 3:10. Do you have any tips on how to get more comfortable with playing the fast line in the right hand?

[@HirohashiMakiko]

@@Lentreeo You're still trying That's excellent!! My tip is... 1. Thin out the notes (3’01” ........ Eliminate grace notes. B♭ - A - B♭- C only) ( 3'07" .......Start an octave down. ) 2. Improve your fingering 3. Practice slowly, practice slowly, practice, practice Try playing one of these.🤗

[@chenremo1109]

Hi Makiko, why do the notes on the right hand sound different in 3:29 compared to your original CD version?

[@HirohashiMakiko]

The score is the same on the CD. On CDs, the main melody is emphasized rather than the high notes layered a third above. (D♭ D♭ E ♭ D♭ C) In this video, the notes a third higher sound better than the melody. (F F G♭ F E♭) Why? Because I'm a bad player. Sorry.😁

[@HirohashiMakiko]

Thanks for letting me know. But I made this arrangement. Audio CD was published in 2004. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3fbgql3fJqnn9U As a best album, a CD was also published in 2017. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXSVf6Wfg7OLlaM This arrangement has been illegally uploaded many times on KZbin. Lotus Flower copied it and made it into a score. Maybe he didn't know me. Illegal uploads do not write my name. But if he said it was his arrangement, it would be very sad. It is neither in the interest of the composer nor in the interest of the arranger to make the sheet music available for free. Sheet music should not be published for free. We will not be able to continue working. I made a piano arrangement. and sell sheet music. From my earnings, I pay royalties to composers. If you do not mind, It would be a good idea for you to ask Lotus Flower, "Who arranged it?"
