Mixed Nuts - SPY×FAMILY OP [Piano] / Official Hige Dandism

Sheet music → mymusic.st/ani...
A very elegant person is playing the piano.
That’s it. That’s the video description.
Coincidentally, the concert outfit I am always wearing for my videos proves to be very useful now and I can finally feel the true meaning of “elegance” for the very first time. Thank you Spy X Family for enlightening me!
「Mixed Nuts」 from Official Hige Dandism is an insanely fun piece to play on the piano and I simply love the groovy bassline of the song. Once again, I tried to combine as many musical elements from the original piece as possible without needing more than 2 hands. (Sometimes I wish I have three hands though)
The beginning part in 0:08 (aka the car chase in the opening animation) is literally chaos incarnate on the piano and honestly, I have no idea what I was actually playing… I actually wanted to smash the keys randomly but at the end I still created some sort of a pattern. I guess the inner perfectionism in me doesn’t allow completely randomized piano patterns after all, haha.
This piece is essentially a piano etude for the left hand because of the fast octave bassline in 0:18 which requires a lot of stamina and focus to play. But I loved playing the octave bass line so much I even played it again for the final chorus in 2:46.
One of my favorite moments in the arrangement is actually the small top melody in 0:29. The joy and playfulness in this moment perfectly captures the positive nature of Anya from Spy X Family. I have to say, Official Hige Dandism is really amazing for composing a song, which fits perfectly well with the theme of the anime.
Alright, thank you for reading the video description for this week!
I still haven’t decided what I will upload as my next video but after recording this groovy arrangement I am more motivated than ever to create elegant arrangements!
See you next time again!

[@nayu_]

(Sneaked a peek from bilibili xD) ✨WAKU WAKU✨ Holy sheet the arrangement is 🔥. From the walking bass to the syncopation chords, everything sounds so nicely put together! This song felt hard to imagine on piano, but I really like this arrangement!

[@nayu_]

One question (or maybe two) though: How long did you take to get this take with all the octave walking bass? And do you pay more attention to LH or RH in those sections?

[@Animenzzz]

@@nayu_ During practice my entire focus was almost 99% on the left hand (you can also see it in the video: my head is always focused on the left hand in 0:18) The right hand is essentially playing blindly. This piece requires a lot of muscle memory, but once you pull it off, the satisfaction of the octave bassline is simply unbeatable!

One thing I will always appreciate and which will always put animenz above every other anime pianist on KZbin is how very serious he is about producing the best quality arrangement of each song he covers. Every step of the way is carefully thought out and practiced to near perfection, don't ever think it goes unnoticed!

It honestly just feels amazing watching and listening to Animenz play. Every refined detail in how he arranged which notes he's decided to hit to how long or soft he's playing it. Crazy as a pianist knowing I'll never be as good as you, but at the very least I want to get as close as possible to playing and hopefully arranging the way you do.

[@nattompkins888]

I love how Animenz exacerbates the difficulty of any piece he touches. Like if he did ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ it would be like: - Standard Performance: 5 keys, 20 seconds long. - Animenz Performance: all 88 keys, 4 minutes 49 seconds long with accompanying lute solo

[@josewui414]

That was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I love that fist followed by the thumbs up at the end. For me, you truly captured every single intricate detail that I could hear in the original song, from the bass line to the drum syncopation. This was a wonderful blessing of an arrangement to listen to. BRAVO!!!

what an *Elegant* piano arrangement!! Putting fast octave instead of imitating the walking bassline makes this arrangement more groovy than the original song *(Smart and elegant move there)*. The accompaniment in this arrangement is so satisfying to hear!! Since your not decided on your next arrangement, I hope that you will consider SPYxFAMILY ED (Comedy) or the EP5 OST (TBD) on your to-do-list.

[@PigeonDivin]

Like all your arrangements, it must already be the 30th time since its release that I've listened to this one. Listening to the original version, you might think it's impossible to make it sound right on a piano, but once again you surprised us all. You became my biggest inspiration Animenz, if I'm still standing today and not eaten away by life, it's thanks to all the hopes you gave me. In life, I'm someone so ordinary that people quickly forget who I am, I have very few friends and very few things that motivate me. I had no reason to live, my only daily activities were to listen to you play the piano and complain about everything and nothing. I never really wanted to listen to myself about what I liked, even if everyone since my childhood tells me that I like the piano. For some reason that I don't know myself, I never took it seriously, when in reality I've been listening to your music and even classical musics for so many years (i discovered your channel 7 years ago with the "This Game" 2014 arrangement). Today I'm 19 and I started playing seriously at the beginning of the year 2022, recording myself playing, totally inspired by you. I feel like I finally became someone a little less ordinary when I started playing, and I felt so comfortable, many times I cried in front of my piano, playing anything, this instrument makes me travel through dimensions. As you could tell, I love classical music and anime music, I could only love your content. I will now become an excellent pianist no matter what, I am finally taking online conservatory lessons (I will try to get money to get real lessons there), and despite the fact that I didn't start when I was a child, it wont prevent me from having the time to become an amazing pianist. I promise you that one day I will be able to play your arrangements but also create my own. Thank you for everything Animenz, I'm not sure you see this message but if it can inspire some of you, that's enough for me. Sorry if there is some mistakes, I'm also from France. Wishing you all a good day/evening !
