Thanks :)

Planning on buying a new keyboard after almost 10 years without playing it, this will definitely be the first song I'll learn on it instead of relearning all the shadow of the colossus pieces I used to play.

[@P3x310]

My good sir, I haven't played this game in five years, heard the music in three years, but this sent the shivers up and down my spine in waves with every stroke of the keys. The room went silent and cold and I can still feel the goosebumps ten minutes after the video stopped, still with tears of melancholy in my eyes. I have not been moved by any music like this for many years. May your fingers be blessed, you magnificent man. Thank you a thousand times over. I know that this is a very exaggerated thanks, but you have earned it fully.

[@MusicMike512]

Thank you kindly, that means a lot. I'm glad I could give that experience for you.

[@pokemanic101]

+Valentine Vores (WildServal) I tried my hand at the sheet music not too long after I posted this. I am able to play it fairly well but that run is still not as clean or as fast as Mike can do it. Probably one day though

Indeed. There was no way I would ever allow myself to get anywhere near the bad end. Must protecc Hanako. Yet the entire storyline was about how hanako was stronger than the main character was lead to believe and that if you continued babying her, that's what would lead to the bad end.

Hot damn! This song is so hard to play! Just learning the left hand is so difficult, but perfecting everything with your right hand! Kudos to you, good sir! You really have a heart for this! The first part tender and soft, with the right intonation. The second part strong and determined! Just as it should be! PER-FECT!!! Words can't express this well enough, but this is the most epic thing I've heard since playing the game!

I break down on the inside, and then the feels transfer to my fingers, which then moves and presses on the piano keys with varied speeds and pressure strengths, and then finally generate the music you hear in this video. It's deep stuff man.

[@BIGYUMMYGUY]

Who is your favorite Katawa Shoujo character? I love Hanako's the most. (Especially her true ending in the beta.)

[@MusicMike512]

I think Lilly's my favourite KS character, but my favourite storyline is probably Rin's. :)

[@BIGYUMMYGUY]

Lilly is so compassionate! She is easily one of the best characters in the game. The care and compassion she has for others is very, very strong. I've always wanted to try Rin's route. Rin really does intrigue me.

[@MusicMike512]

BIGYUMMYGUY Yeah I loved that about Lilly. But then again I really like them all for their own reasons, however I still prefer Lilly's personality more than the rest. You really should try Rin's route...it gets so tense that you might even start hating it. But when it's finished and you look back at the whole picture, it's just beautiful and appreciable.

[@darklyXlit]

This song hits me in the feels really hard. What part of the game is this from? I'm having a hard time remembering.

[@MusicMike512]

I think it's usually when something bad happens in the storyline, or when something emotionally saddening is going on with the girls. I too, get in the feels really hard. This visual novel has so many feel trips that I can't even...

[@darklyXlit]

I think it happens near the end of Emi's route, which was what I played first.

[@FakeRiser]

SPOILER AHEAD!!!!! I think the song usually plays when a choice that will decide which ending you get is about to come. I dont remember everything completly but I do know about one particular instance in the story. In Hanako's route, somewhere after the whole classroom incident, where Hanako completly blacks out, Hisao contacts Lilly for some advice. The song starts playing somewhere around here. Later into the conversaion, Lilly believes that it's best to leave Hanako alone for some time, and start thinking about yourself a little more. You are then met with two choices, to either listen to Lilly's advice or disregard it and try to get Hanako out of her room. One of these choices will lead to the bad ending.

[@brianmerion]

I got it at the end of Rin's route as well.

[@IsaacV2001]

I usually is triggered by a choice that decides everything. In Rin's route, it plays when you have the choice to either "Explain!" Or "I need to understand."

How long do you play the piano? I started a short time ago, so it feels like it will take years for me to be able to play this :(

[@JimtheCitizen]

I've got a question about playing this. I'm not having much trouble so far outside of the pedals; I have no experience with playing using pedals. The left hand, especially a few seconds in, seems to need the pedals for its parts, but I can't seem to find out how to use them. The right pedal sustains everything and it sounds like everything overlaps in an ugly way. The middle pedal sounds like it sustains only keys on the lower third of the piano, but I read that it's barely used in most pieces, so I've ignored it. Any suggestions?

[@bluewhaleking6227]
