END THEME - 5 Centimeters per Second

[@AnimeMidi]

I don't think the people know that sometimes the easiest songs, are the most beautiful ones :')

[@Blackchaosvortex]

Story of my life... xP

[@TehIshter]

Absolute truth. This is why we don't hear dubstep whenever a movie or show has a very emotional scene lolol

[@Hereson]

~ishter-kun~ LOL

[@taputapuu9487]

GovzLegacy or Rurouni Kenshin - Departures ;_;

[@dhk117rp]

~ishter-kun~ challenge accepted to make an emotional dubstep song sometime after December if I remember lol

[@AprilH7757]

it's ironic how in the beginning the train is what keeps them together but at the end the train separated them apart

[@01renzo]

brandon hine that's too deep I'mma cry

[@Ranveerdanraj]

The Train scene was very heavy indeed but beautiful at the same time. Especially his smile afterwards and walking on forward. ❤

[@AbhishekGupta-hd3wr]

You should gibe some kinda warning before posting these kinda heavy things. I was just looking through the comments and now I'm crying and looking through the comments. T_T

[@tristanwalhain8601]

Oh jesus, you piece of crap. Don't say that while I'm listening to this song. That's not okay, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

[@Aquifilia]

Ouch mate. But I love how in the end he finally decided to let her go and move on

[@TheWhitePianoKeyProductions]

Aaaah, your playing always invokes so many feelings. It isn't important how hard or easy a song is, how much crazy jumps it has, it's the message it brings across that is important.

[@TehIshter]

I think so too. Of course, it's fine once in a while to have fun with a song and arrange it with a lot of technical stuff (like my SAO2 "Courage" arrangement), but sometimes it's also good to take time to really understand the music~

[@EmanAli-ml6qb]

The White Piano Key beautifuuuulll I feel sooo many things when I hear this musicç

[@noahpage6459]

I truly thank you for playing the piece of music that has affected me the most. About two months before I saw this film, my long distance relationship had ended and this movie was almost a biography of what happened to me. When I heard this piece I cried for a very long time and I'll never forget it.

[@fuyufuiba9641]

I hope you're happy now

[@John-wh6ki]

It's almost the same for me. Well, at least I'm the one who's making the decision to cut ties with her and move on. We're about to graduate so I think it's best that we forget each other and leave our memories in the past and go our separate life.

[@VyturysJokubauskas]

The feels hit me so hard. They were probably going at 5 feels per second

[@NotenoughtTea]

I love how you changed it. It feels quieter, less accented than the original version. And yes, you did play it almost nervously, and it seems a bit slower than in the original. But that made it amazing. Thank you for the upload!!

[@TehIshter]

Only the first part should be played nervously. The ending should be played with confidence, experience, and maturity~

[@An_Lei_Laoshi]

+Theishter - Anime on Piano It seems like you are talking about life

[@incendior]

r/suddenlydeep

[@EmanAli-ml6qb]

I played this music when my grandpas pass away this music reminds mee him love uuuu grandpaa

[@saylo8796]

Such gentleness. Calming yet heartbreaking. Only once did I watch this film, I don't think my heart can take another viewing.

[@JC-uz3ey]

Every time i hear those first three notes my heart tightens up.

[@crimsonmangabat628]

such a painfully wonderful melody. this reminds me of a lost love. everytime that i hear this, it opens up a wound but at the same time it gives me peace. we can only move on.

[@Ionatic]

just found your Channel like a week ago and cant stop listening to your music. I used to play Piano a lot but stopped when my best friend passed away. Your arrangements inspired me and im slowly getting back into it. So thanks man, i really love the first half of this one. It was the first thing i played in 10 Years :D

[@eulencrystaljavier6428]

Tbh that just reminds me of Your Lie in April. Sorry XD

[@Ionatic]

well it sucks, but sadly stories like these actually happen in real life. 'Just' was a car accident though and there was no love story involved so my past wouldnt make that good of an anime :D

[@boom3011]

want a bet?

[@sokomun]

HOLD MY BEER wait i dunno how to do animes

[@Danish_07]

5 centimeters per second one of the most beautiful anime I have watched

[@JacobWangShu]

5 centimeters per second is an anime that will not be forgotten

[@AttackOnNND]

Ahh, I really love this song- And it's played with so much emotion. And it reminds me of the movie- It was almost reflective of reality, I feel. An ambiguous ending I felt was neither too happy nor too sad but simply real- Left me feeling empty and full at the same time. Beautifully played~

[@baconman1919]

Yeah it really is just real. Its the type of story that just shows how much can change as life goes on. And the realisation of that fact is extremely depressing. The animation also added immensely to the feel of the story imo.

[@AttackOnNND]

Completely agree ;; - ;;

[@BringerOfD]

been waiting ALL DAY for this. thank you, it's just so beautiful a piece. This was the first and probably only anime which, without any twists nor turns, no exciting plot devices, kept me on the edge of my seat for it's entire duration. When he waited in that train car not knowing when it'd move again, i cried for him.

[@dorhakim2412]

The person i'm about to talk about is the most amazing person you will ever be able to meet, the person whom I fell in love with. I never felt anything close to how I feel to her with anyone else. She is the only person in this world I have ever felt natural with, the only one who could really understand me and my feelings. When I listen to this, all I can think of is One more time, to hear her beloved voice to smell her addicted smell to see her pretty face One more chance, to be with her, to be the person who will try to make her feel like how she deserves. The more precious someone to you, the harder for you to accept the fact that there will be no more time, there will be no more chance, and all left are memories. She is the most precious person for me, and anywhere, at anytime I will be willing to do anything for her good. If you love someone, don't do the same mistake I did, do not take those good times for granted. Experiance the moment as it's your last chance to be with them. Allways let them know how you feel and never take them for granted. Thank you Maya, for being the person you are, I will never be able to forget you, you will allways have that spot in my heart, then now and forever.

[@amodius921]

I cried, still this post is "old". Hope you didn't forget her in 2019

[@TshimxMuaj]

Yes man I’ll try my vey best to let the person know how I feel when I find her even though I basically know i can’t do it bc of how the embarrassment and the people’s view of me will change but I’ll try my Very Fucking Best

[@umii285]

This anime really says about the people who are in love but separated.. I cant help but cry when takaki and akari were separated...

[@jeeyeonpark1470]

This song is absolutely gold. You played it with such feeling and all the keys you hit were so light and thoughtful. I loved this cover so much. Reminded me of the movie.

[@CharmingparentsMusics]

Your video make me cry. The song is very beautiful. Thanks for giving people gifts.

[@niladrichatterjee6641]

A lot my relatives and friends make fun of me (an Indian) because listen to Japanese songs. Well I don't give a damn to them, Music has no language . Update after 3 years: There has been a significant increase in the number of Indian anime fans, no one mocks you now.

[@veki7096]

I'm indian too... and I love Japanese! Dont let them judge you. Keep up your strength :)

[@Roh0io]

Finally I have found someone like me. I am an indian too. Keep up the spirit. dont let their words reach to you

[@ashimamukhi702]

i'm an indian too ....i just made my friend listen to a japanese song i like , she started laughing I LOVE watching animes .....they satisfy me .....and i love 5 centimeteres per second ...the reason i started watching anime ^_^

[@air8961]

Music is also known as the universal language

[@JonnyHindu]

Same Bro... Music have no Language.. Feeling have no Words.. Love has no Boundary.. But they won't understand it..😖

[@kalle4392]

This song brings back so many memories and feelings from the movie. Sometimes the simplest and cleanest songs are the most impactful, and I can really feel the emotions streaming through your music. The striking feeling that sometimes feelings don't reach, and the beautiful way this movie describes the devastating fact that life isn't something you can fully control, no matter how much you want to. Listening to this song is like making a journey throughout the entire movie, and your arrangement takes me back to the time I first watched it. Beautiful as always.

[@XanimeXaddicted]

Literally for years now, I've known how to play a simpler version of this song, and every time I play it, it makes me feel so full of emotion. It is simple, yes, but yet so beautiful and expressive. This arrangement is very nice, once/if you upload the sheet music, I will print it out and learn it straight away! Amazing job, as always. Keep up the good work :)

[@hinenik]

i think i've arrived too late to read the description but, at the same time, i saw that film just in time to understand, unless a little, what it means for me. Thank you, this song is awesome and, even if i arrive late to say it, each sound represent each period of my life. I'm pleased to listen and read a bit of yours too.

[@nojane]

It's like he's playing the piano like how you would brush a baby's hair - so gentle, it's beautiful.

[@frawzt]

So simple and yet able to invoke such strong feels. You really managed to express the essence of the piece and the anime.

[@tolis947]

I always wanted to watch this anime, but when I actually decided to watch it, I broke up with my long distance realtionship.. Now I'm scared to watch it, I'm afraid that it'll have a sad emotional effect on me :/

[@Wii97Master]

Don't watch it, by any means. It will completely broke your heart. Man, I have never had a girlfriend in my life and it totally made me cry. You should first get over your feelings and then watch this. I know what I'm saying, believe me.

[@tolis947]

Wii97Master That's what I've been told... I'll just watch my comedy anime for now

[@SupaAyshun]

Yeah, don't do it or else... Massive feels. You'll hate life.

[@tolis947]

SupaAyshun Idk, on one hand I'm keeping my head away from the sadness by watching highschool dxd XD On the other hand I want to watch 5cm per second, clannad anohana etc and HATE LIFE. dunno

[@SupaAyshun]

rpgmaster947 Haven't watched Clannad. AnoHana is... *bawls eyes out* With your situation, or even without, 5 Centimeters Per Second can make you hate life. :O

[@TheWickedWok]

I get the chills just reading your description let alone listening to the piece. Well done, beautiful as always.

[@kingoftheworld181]

No matter the difficulty of the piece it always comes down to the emotion and meaning you put into the piece yourself, thats what makes the song beautiful.

[@sebastianwahl6144]

I find that simple things are often the most beautiful as they are stripped down to the very core that they want to express, without any noise that complexity often brings, and thus expresses it much more powerfully.

[@rattydeluxe]

i like how you expressed the emotions you tried to convey for each part of the song in the description. i had a score of emotions that I couldn't place while listening, but now they make somewhat more sense to me. Thank you.

[@luzasims]

That film made me cry... Amazing performance as always!

[@1pieveofKH]

People choosing songs because they are easy? This is the first piano song that I am trying to learn from beginning to end. It certainly isn't the easiest song to start with, but it means enough to me that i'm willing to do it. Ishter, your interpretation has really made this theme mean something to me. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

[@bakaneko226]

Dang it, I cried when I heard you playing this piece, ishter-kun! I totally understand about how you feel about this piece, just like what u write in the desc.. It is indeed a simple piece, yet it also simply goes straight right to the heart :"D

[@lucidreamer6522]

The world needs more people like you, Theishter. You brought a smile to my face.

[@putijesiele.6867]

the content is what hearts seek and not its appearances nor grand deliveries. The way it actually send us the feelings are the most beautiful thing we will ever hear from a true loving music.

[@couch_philosoph3325]

the description made me tear up... since ive watched this anime, this has been my number one anime piano song... i dont know why... but i feel so much when listening to it... i started playing piano a week ago and can play the prelude from bach now (im a violinist, so its easier for me to learn piano). my goal from the beginning was to get to this piece. i hope i can attempt it soon :D

[@kellyoooz]

Your ability to control every single aspect of the music you create is remarkable. You know your strength and you know it well enough to control it and it's something I look up to so much. Thank you. :')

[@evitachristina]

it has been 3 years, and I'm still hearing it.

[@crownfps5839]

the movie made me feel so hopeless and sad for takaki. but then i realized for a split second at the end he no longer felt that way, and that gave me hope

[@reikoloire]

Damn. heard the first few notes and the feels just flow.

[@heymanchan3831]

I love this piece of music. One of the best ED I've heard.

[@therealrouges2341]

Damn this movie is so underrated

[@sheeeebs]

Of course it's an easy piece, but the emotion that you put into the song makes it all the more beautiful. Even more than complex pieces

[@WhatTheScoots]

Sometimes the best is not good enough. Sometimes life just happens. It did not work out in the end. But I am thankful for that time we had together. It is my treasure. And there will always be love in my heart for you.

[@quinndeathflower]

by far the most beautiful transcription in a while!!!!!!

[@IraHakuKun]

Your playing is very emotional.I love how you play it. Your piano pieces made my life to be more worth-living. Thank You so much!! Ishter Kun.

[@IraHakuKun]

Start crying at 2:10 T^T

[@yunchidd3863]

So beautiful...it's been more than ten years since I first watch 5cm/s, I kept watching it over and over again during my college time. It was a sad and lonely period of time in my life, yet so memorable. Your work reminds me of all these beautiful memories. Thank you so much!

[@augustaverbian]

I was here plenty of hard times, and leave few comments. Thus, I cannot believe I haven't liked this video for so long.

[@dontmindmebro5429]

I always loved song like this, and it reminds me of the fact that Ishter started out uncomfortably, and is now playing music confidently.

[@hidekenx]

beautiful, just simply amazes me that this movie can bring so much emotion.

[@patricia6206]

*crying* Very beautiful, I love how you played this song, very lovely and heartfelt and full of emotion. Amazing job! *continues to cry*

[@blmnkrnz]

Beautiful once again. The emotions that ive felt while watching 5 Centimeters pee Second rushed back in after hearing this and your cover of one more time one more chance. There's only one thing that i can say about the film and it is that it is realistically sublime. Feelings of love can one day just be a blank feeling of apathy. Beautiful playing once again, ishter. :)

[@rainbowniji25]

Beautiful :) When the beginning section got repeated near the end, it gave me lots of goosebumps.

[@YukinaMochizuki]

This morning just heard this song. Really so touched!!thx!!

[@iDexys]

The theme of this film hit me really hard. I loved this film; such a powerful ending. The art, plot, and music is beautiful. Leading to your cover, it was also very beautiful! Love it!

[@miniponti]

when I was listening to your song... I thought about the past, the good moments I had with my friends (like you said in your description, an old man full of memories) I really love this. Your songs always have feelings to me :)

[@asiianBerriix3]

OMG I waited for you to play this!! Love this as ever!!

[@michaelkennethrivera5668]

Things that had passed. Already are finished. Never to be held again. Bu shall always be remembered.

this makes me cry always

[@mquangt2581]

Its maybe too late to say, but i checked your website. And i have to say that i thank you so much to bless us with your arrangements/notes for FREE. You give people like me the possibility to play such emotional songs plus you do it because of your passion of anime. Thank you so so much 🙏🙏🙏

[@goatblack3848]

I think a eazy one can see how great a pianist is ,your awesome .I will alaways support you!!

[@jayeshpawar9919]

your description is always beautiful 💖

[@noumnomnom]

I love the description for this video.

[@MericMusic]

Wow. I can't stop replaying this ;-; Awesome as always.

[@gs1point0]

You have a beautiful way of playing :) This is one of my favourite pieces of music, it brings so many different types of emotions.

[@JohnsyOmniscient]

Beautiful transcription, the tone is excellent too.

[@sezabean]

Fantastic performance! I was looking forward to this Fridays upload so much when I heard you would be doing this piece. Thank you so much! You really inspire me to be a better pianist. I just finished learning this myself yesterday and I'm really glad I did. :')

[@taylorbowden1390]

This is incredible, well done!

[@JacobWangShu]

When I watched this it was 5 tears per second

[@Goma531]

I never thought of this as an happy ending. I felt so sad and 切ない(what is the English word for this??) throughout the entire thing. But maybe it is some kind of an happy ending. Maybe it is just I don't know, because maybe I'm just a child. But I like this piece. It goes in my top of bgm. Maybe #1. It is just, very 癒し, very comforting (I feel 癒される is a better word to describe it (English is also a good language) ishter-kun. By looking at this video, you are so much better in those dynamics in each note, and the looks (classical style of hand-looking (softness, bouncyness, etc.)　憧れるーw Please 頑張ってyour university!!

[@cowboy6455]

translations for kanji: 切ない= miserable (roughly), 癒し= soothing 憧れる=to long for, admire 頑張って= keep at it / go for it

[@Goma531]

テルストロムエリア thank you!!!! Well, there are some Japanese words that cannot be translated. It is just… Japanese. Maybe, there is a special meaning to each word, to each person.

[@cowboy6455]

平出賢治 Well, that goes for most languages, too, but then you'll have to turn the word into a description.

[@Goma531]

テルストロムエリア true. But then, there is my attachment to Japanese^^

[@Bubblezz451]

I always thought this as a sad ending too, exactly like what you felt, and yet it feels really calm at the same time

[@bellam2773]

very pretty, even if it is simple, its beautiful. and i dont think its the difficulty that makes a song, its the emotion behind it.

[@gladJonas]

BEST PIANO EVER

[@KyleBarrf]

YYEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH one of the best animes ever! :D One thing I liked about this one over the original is that instead of brushing the chords (low to high really fast), you do the chord all at once. It makes the song feel a little more bold. ^_^

[@Rcg1382]

Nice work. Improving day by day Galing!

[@Erik-ip8bv]

You can catch up the feels so good bro q.q Personally, I prefer easy pieces, because I'm just about to start playing piano and most of your transcriptions are over the top for me. ^^ So I have to search for songs that are quite easy and then keep on getting more difficult ones when I managed the easier ones. Thank you so much for bringing us another heartwarming part of heaven to our ears~

[@FeliveriusNearTrancy]

It's so beautiful... the nostalgia...

[@EmanAli-ml6qb]

trueeeee

[@Mymusik721]

Oh I feel bad now Isther, I didn't know you stopped making sheets due to studies. After reading the comments I figured that out. It's no problem haha grades are important. I'm just glad I can still listen to you from time to time!

[@mkr6118]

Can't stop hitting the replay button

[@tom01b]

absolutely gorgeous

[@FantaFuture92]

Really nice!!! Perfect movie for watching on Christmas.

[@riza07ful]

I was waiting for this! Yay!

[@KirishigawaKuroh]

I love this piece so much.

[@MiseryIsMajesty]

Oh how I've waited for this.

[@strawberrydooboo]

Simply beautiful

[@danielhon2920]

I know what you mean when you get sad because people don't fully appreciate or explore the piece because they're so focused on the technical requirements. IMO, technical excellence is important, but the ability to be expressive is just as important. A piece played well will shine and be interesting no matter how 'easy' it may be technically. Phrygian Gates as an example. Keep up the good work :)

[@graphisn]

Oh god the nostalgia. Fucking beautiful.

[@anthonyvu4692]

This movie engulf me in a wave of emotion so strong that i let it carry me, letting it flowing it through my emotion as well T-T

[@beastmaster6946]

I'm listening to this because my depression is back again, i don't know why i keep making it worse by listening to sad music. I've been so used of getting hurt, that I don't mind getting hurt more and more. Sometimes I just don't want to wake up anymore. Anyway, just sharing my thoughts in this comment section for some reason. I'm full, i just feel like letting it out even though I know nobody cares.

[@sandeshkolhapure9010]

Try to go outside

[@Weeeelium]

You can do it my friend. You will be better. Trust me. It’s not easy for sure I understand. But to really realise we only have one life to live. We might be better able to slowly accept the unacceptable. To understand what we don’t understand. Time helps I hope. I hope it does for you.

[@Porohunter]

yet another amazing song!

[@ZackyThePianist]

So sentimental ;_;

[@amv-nikhil562]

So well played i cried out of joy❤

[@arq.Luci_Aoca]

belíssima canção! Maravilhosa de escutar de olhos fechados! Parabéns!!!

[@BeastCoastPhantom13]

I never found 5 centimeters per second to be sad or hit me in the feels. I thought music was nice though. If anyone feels like sharing, I'd like to know how it affected them. Edit: I'm putting this here cause some people wanted to make baseless assumptions, my experiences with love are not the reason why I didn't find the movie sad.

[@galaxysoup]

The first time I watched it when it came out, I felt the same as you. I thought the anime was overall mediocre and not emotional, although the soundtrack and animation were stunning. I watched it again recently, after living, loving, and hurting, with people for many years. Having gained new views and experiences, especially with romance itself, 5 cm per second invoked much more emotion in me. Mainly because now I can relate strongly to the characters and their situations, it brought up past feelings and melancholy for me, which made the anime very relatable and bittersweet for me. I can understand if it's just not for you, but you might be also just watching it at the wrong time in your life as well :)

[@xXAsunaxKiritoXx]

Every time i listen to this song.. I'll cry everytime.. brings so much memories back... Its like a surge you cant control. Ive played this song a few times during class and im usually alone in the room playing and while playing and crying at the same time i saw my friends peaking, watching me... I put all my heart into it.But damn i was so embarrassed afterwards.. I loved every single moment while playing this song.

[@Babolat3216]

5 Centimeters Per Second, and the speed at which cherry blossoms fall; it's an allegory to life. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Compared to that, 5 cm/s is very, very slow. Like cherry blossoms, most of us, at the beginning of our lives, are all clumped together, and close to our friends, family, and loved ones. But as we grow, slowly, but surely, we grow apart from most of them. Aside from our family, it is extremely rare for us to be able to be with the same people we were close to in the beginning, just like how rare it is for one cherry blossom to be close to another when it falls to the ground. Thus, the title of this amazing movie, and the beautiful message it brings. To feel from this beautiful movie takes a good amount of maturity and experience. It's okay not to be able to relate to the movie. Perhaps even better; you're one of the luckier ones who haven't felt too much attachment or regret towards the past. I'd like not to share my personal experiences regarding this movie, and hide myself behind the anonymity of the internet. However, the first time I saw this movie, after I saw the trains pass by and heard the End Theme play, I just had the urge to lie alone in my bed, roll up into a ball, remember all the memories, and simply cry.

[@pwnDpwnD]

Babolat3216 I just grew chills reading your comparison. I also did not really have much experience to relate to the series just yet. But damn, your analogy is just so, so, full of impact for me.

[@saskavalenzuela5019]

I was searching it too :c

[@baesti4490]

soooooo gooooood. Thank you for that

[@yannlaforest9993]

Makoto shinkai movies are the best in the world so sad it helps brings out the tears that are stuck inside and bring out feelings that not everybody can understand

Chúng ta đã từng bên nhau đã từng nghĩ đến nhau rất nhiều lần . Nhưng giờ đây những suy nghĩ ấy những giây phút ấy nó đã trôi theo thời gian từng ngày 5cm/s không chỉ là vận tốc của hoa anh đào rơi , mà còn là vận tốc chúng ta lặng lẽ bước qua đời nhau , đánh mất biết bao nhiêu cảm xúc thiết tha trong tình yêu. Hối tiếc , Nhớ , Muốn quay lại , Không Được , Rồi Lại đau Sau tất cả chúng ta chỉ là một người xa lạ...
