Kyouran Hey Kids!! - Noragami Aragoto OP [Piano] / THE ORAL CIGARETTES

Sheet Music → mymusic.st/animenzzz/73297
"KURUTTE HEY KIDS!" Once you hear these words, you will instantly remember the chorus melody of "Kyouran Hey Kids!!" - probably the coolest opening song ever. This piano arrangement is quite addictive from the very first second, because of the irresistible combination of a jazzy guitar voice in the right hand and a walking bass line in the left hand in 0:07.
I tried to replicate the rhythm of the drums as accurate as I could for the entire piece. This results in a few unconventional left hand patterns such as in 0:20 or in 1:24. But the real challenge was arranging the chorus in 0:45: The drums had a very fast "dum-ta-ta, dum-ta-ta" rhythm and only after a lot of trial and error, I found a good left hand pattern which properly matches the rhythm. The left hand syncopation can be heard especially clear in 0:49.
There is also another problem I needed to solve: The "I respect the hero!" part in 1:08 is only spoken in the original song and it doesn't have a melody. But since I really like the guitar melody from 0:07, I used it as a starting point and modified the melody a little bit to create an original melody line for the spoken part.
Last but not least, the rarely used left hand melody octaves is appearing again! For the second half of the bridge in 2:26, I needed some extra punch in the bass to replicate the aggressive drums of the original song. And left hand octave melodies just does the job perfectly. At the same time, the right hand pattern in 2:26 is one of my favorite "arrangement tricks" to extend and intensify a long melody on the piano. I used it in my Swordland (Sword Art Online OST) arrangement as well in the past.
Alright, that's it for today! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this week's super groovy arrangement! Also: Don't forget to donate 5 yen to poor Yato-san! Or else he will never become the wealthiest god in Japan! (笑)
See you next time!
