Uchiage Hanabi - Fireworks (2017) [Piano] / DAOKO X Kenshi Yonezu

[@Animenzzz]

Another nostalgia throwback this week with Uchiage Hanabi! This song slaps so hard, I used the widest possible piano range for the second chorus in 2:18. Playing these bass rhythms in the left hand has never been more satisfying! Everyone, thank you for watching!

[@a.saraya7763]

This is beautiful! thank you for your hard work~

[@AsinaKk]

Kannst du als nächstes (oder irgendwann) "Lemon" von Kenshi Yonezu machen?:)

[@AlexArimaPiano]

i agree it slaps really hard

[@insidiosity]

Yo animenz why are you called Animenz Piano Sheets when I can't find your sheets anywhere :(

[@misaacr4620]

Id like to know how did you use the pedal for that chorus, it sounds srally clean

[@wrenth8474]

Seeing Animenz's technique improve over the years is probably the most incredible thing to me. He was already talented 6 years ago, and he could have just stayed at that level, but instead kept improving his skills and learning new ones, and seeing things like the three-hand jumps with crossed hands done almost casually now just blows my mind, not to mention the multiple rhythms or playing some notes louder than others during already fast sections. He makes this look a lot easier than it really is, and it doesn't look easy to begin with.

[@Animenzzz]

A musicians journey is a lifelong improvement after all!

what movie please?

[@gwaynebrouwn844]

The way he holds that Gb to make an echo'ish effect at 4:26 is so masterful. It really shows animenz is on a whole different level when it comes to anime arrangements. Animenz is the closest to a Ling Ling we will get.

DAMN why can he use the three-hands technique so effortlessly

[@alexwong8264]

Animenz is gonna pull up with the no hands technique soon

[@WongUeHang]

it's not that hard just requires rly fast hands between octaves and change to the correct voicing in the process. yes. it's easy to do but very hard to master. if u can't at all, git gud.

really?

[@Kaz-gc1tv]

may this be as beautiful as the fireworks that night

[@AnimeProAnimeonPiano]

Thank you so much for making this Animenz! This has to be the most addicting song for me when it came out. Impressive stuff with the 3 hand technique again man, it really does sound like every layer of the original song is being perfectly transcribed into the piano. I also really like that addition of arpeggios in the last chorus, it's really distinctive.

[@Animenzzz]

The arpeggio scale in the last Chorus was actually the result of me randomly improvising on black keys only and then trying to figure out, how to include it in the final chorus with the three hand technique. The best ideas are always born completely randomly, haha

3:26 I came just to comment how beautiful that three-hand technique is.

[@Tristan-mv6lc]

Wow. Animenz really outdid himself with this one. The level of dynamics and clarity even tho he's adding all these ornaments is astounding!

[@juncake984]

As a person who've been hearing this song over and over again, this piano cover is just the perfect one for me since I'm emotionless sometimes, and the changes from a big loud sound to the intro sound is just so AHHHH I can't, this is just too good or should I say better than ever?

[@nguyenquangdieu8513]

1:33 I believe absolutely no one can reproduce the rhythm as similar to the version of Kenshi Yonezu like him. Incredible composing!!!! So nostalgic for a movie known by such beautiful OST!

[@zengarang]

Wow, what a powerful cover. The voice layering is so masterfully done, as has been touched upon by so many comments already. My favorite part is the call and response bridge at 2:38. As always, I love the attention to detail in every aspect of the piece, up to the final sustained Gb. Fantastic work!

[@Mol42]

Once you focus on the Gb on 4:25 you really cannot unhear it haha. Nice job once again, especially on that three-hand bridge part!

[@fushichou1818]

Probably the best arrangement I’ve heard of this song. Thanks for the explicit description as usual, I enjoyed reading it.

[@Electro_Gamers]

I absolutely love hearing your explanation of your covers. As a beginner-intermediate player, I find it difficult to notice many of the details in your playing. I love your playing and I aspire to become even a fraction as good as you are.

[@EmptageFamily]

Me: It's time to go to bed. Myself: Bed? What bed? I: I'm tired and it's already midnight. Myself: Who cares? These Animenz arrangements are really really great!! Me: Methinks you need some sleep.

Man that rhytm is on point. These movies arrangement lately has been such bangers

[@cchy]

Absolutely my favourite arrangement of Uchiage Hanabi of all time, I'm in love with the build up and dynamics

[@Simon-Jih]

The repeated notes from 00:50 to 01:00 reminds me of Ebb and Flows in your Nagi No Asukara Medley The additional melody from 02:39 to 02:55 reminds me of final chorus of your Hacking to the Gate The three hand technique from 03:27 to 03:42 reminds me of the polyphony of your silhouette By the way ,if i’m not wrong , most piano has no damper attach to the string from E6b and above ,so I think that even if not holding the G6b at 04:25, it will still sustain and be audible in the background. Amazing work as usual, looking forward to your next arrangement !

Another amazing arrangement! Some of the techniques at the beginning of this kinda remind me of your Nagi no Asukara medley :3 Also, a remake for Kuusou Mesorogiwi!? Damn now I'm hyped af!!! I've been practicing your old arrangement for about a year now, it's what first made me use my 4th and 5th finger alternately for fast octaves tho since my hands aren't that big that was the closest time I've ever gotten to getting injured from piano playing^^' (aside from that one arpeggio during "Project: Animenz" at the end of last year).

What are your favorite arrangements of mine btw? I am interested!

@@Animenzzz Oh those change from time to time depending on the anime I watch and also in general, you know how your perception of music tends to change the more you listen to it^^ But anyway here we go: First of all I love the key anime piano suite.

[@RegisZDB]

Just beautiful. I know a lot of people didn't like the movie, but I think it gets too harsh of criticism because of the expectations people had. Its a deep show with a confusing ending, but confusing isn't necessarily bad. It gets you thinking and for some people like me left a lasting impact. I did research after finishing the movie to figure out what was going on aside from the double suicide and the theories are very interesting. Anyway, great piano work as always!
