Vague Hope - Official NieR Automata Piano Collections

Here's the song that people seem to like the most in the OST. Hopefully I did it justice.

[@ajimit8669]

"it always ends like this.."

[@killermcfiller]

Hey man, I'm just some guy on the internet but this performance is something I envy a lot. You are very gifted with your piano skills and I hope to play like this one day. Cheers.

[@diafenix]

The piano playing is really something. I love this channel. His mix of technique and emotion is just above perfect.

@@marage87 are you ok?

[@marage87]

@@diafenix omg sorry wtf I think I was listening to this with my phone in my pocket and it somehow typed these itself, sorry for the notification spam hahah

[@i.am.charlotte]

The piano version makes me want to cry even more. This piece is just beautiful.. Nice job!

[@jeremyngpiano]

Revisiting this video again after I've finally recorded it. Such an inspiring performance and masterfully played. Wish you uploaded more piano recordings. As a fellow pianist, you're a true inspiration.

[@zhenthewei]

This song is already sad and emotional, but you've managed to turn it even sadder. Awesome performance, love it!

[@purpleschala]

just checked out all your Automata PC vids you've been transcribing, really phenomenal job in such a short amount of time and marvelous playing ahhhh

[@rach3master]

I will probably share my personal sheets soon, since official ones don't seem likely at this point.

[@rach3master]

@@harry011984 Thanks. I just used my ears to transcribe.

[@MarcusSTung]

thanks (*^▽^*)

[@Xavier-sp9cr]

I’ll be waiting! Thanks so much for sharing

[@geraltofrivia1558]

Wow your ears are 99999999x better than any programs!!!!@@rach3master

[@spikyplant313]

Thank you for doing this for us. Keep up the great work!

[@jenzzzzz]

Great job on this!! One of my favorites from the album.

[@sounddreamer685]

Absolutely wonderful ! Thanks for this, i love this game so much

[@cristianquintero3452]

Truly beautiful, congratulations and thank you for this video

[@wijj88]

What a lovely and relaxing tune, beautifully played too! I've subscribed.

[@f1shb0i]

Thanks to your transcription, I've been practicing and learned up 2/3rds of this amazing piece. Soon I'll be able to play the full piece thanks to you

[@mareikek810]

Thank you for this beautiful version of the song... I loved the game especially the music and I am beyond happy to find the sheets. I don't know if I can learn it well enough to sound good, but I will have fun trying. :) Please keep playing and transcribing ! Much appreciated really.

[@2015donkeykongkeys]

The little echo makes it so precious to listen

[@shishomon]

Oh my god.. You just pull off the cleanest and yet the most melodious cover for this ost.. Please take my like sir.

[@setdamn]

This is so smooth, I love it so much.

[@gamerchords4526]

Absolutely beautiful as always 🥹

[@Arrow9100kj]

Ahhh, Ive always admired Keigo Hoashi's style =). He can just crank out pieces with this kind of effortless beauty! Loved that Song of The Ancients reference he sneaked in too! Your transcription and performance was spot on as well! Amazing job - you've probably covered 25% or more of this Piano Collection and the sheets still havent dropped yet =D!

[@DarkFyreFox]

I'm just barely finding about your performance of this and I just wanted to say thank you

[@yeilh]

This is beautiful. You make it look so easy and this probably sounds weird but your hands are beautiful as well😭

[@tedcapellos3676]

I love the Yamaha N1 . Nice piano and excellent rendition.

[@f1shb0i]

Love this so much

[@kentc5722]

I listen till the end only I hit the like, don't wanna miss a note. So beautiful well done

[@ria9072]

I love how every square enix fantasy game has a piano collectiosn

[@pikachucetthesecond4296]

I love the name Vague Hope, because if for whatever reason someone were to ask me to describe NieR: Automata with only two words, I think "Vague Hope" would be a perfect answer

[@_djengis]

love it

[@ajimit8669]

4:00 feels intensifies

[@Rottypops]

I prefer my hope to be more aptly described. But this was nice too

[@Eluvinis17]

playing this song is one thing but i can’t imagine how to come up with an arrangement like this. it’s mind blowing to me

[@yeilh]

It's actually an official one. You can find it on Spotify titled "Piano: Vague Hope"

[@21tryhard97]

you are amazing

[@21tryhard97]

you did justice alright

[@diafenix]

I had to close my eyes.

[@hgme1432]

me encanta👐

[@DanClapp]

Came back here after a fresh playthrough of ending E. It hits so much harder

[@mountainhermit1414]

you are terribly underrated

[@alpercan5220]

Is there any midi file for this masterpiece? I've nearly listened all of the vague hope covers but sor far this is the best. If anyone did transcribe it to a midi file, I would be grateful.

[@spikyplant313]

You may or may not remember me from a comment I posted a couple of days ago on your most recent video but, if you do, hello again :). I know that you have already mentioned in the description that you will not be releasing your sheets so that we support the creators, but it doesn't seem like there will be a companion scorebook for the Nier Automata Piano Collections album at all. I don't think I can link the Tweet in the KZbin comments, but Keiichi Okabe (one of the many amazing people behind the album's pieces) indicated that there hasn't been any talk from Square Enix of a scorebook being released, despite expressing a desire for one himself. This was posted in mid September but I doubt that anything has changed since then. There's speculation that Square Enix would have no legal ground to get the arrangers to release their personal sheet music for retail sale, and unfortunately we don't know if the other arrangers aside from Keiichi share his wishes for an accompanying scorebook. This leads me to ask if you would reconsider releasing your own sheets, even at a price, as it is simply the most faithful transcription that I have heard to date. This isn't to say that I wouldn't buy the official accompanying scorebook if it ever gets released, as you can sure bet that I would be ordering that as soon as I find out about it. Sorry for writing such a long comment for such a simple request; I truly do want those sheets :)

[@TrevorWicklund]

Do you remembered who it was that Tweeted Keiichi Okabe about that? Because I asked him on there if there's a book coming out and he said he'd love to score it, and to send my request to SQEX's Twitter.

[@spikyplant313]

@@TrevorWicklund It was you haha. Have you gotten any more info or are we still left waiting in the dark?

[@TrevorWicklund]

SpikyPlant Yeah looks like they won’t be releasing a book :/ Makes sense because they’d need to contact every stranger to produce the score, and the majority of them aren’t associated with Monaca. It would be awesome if they could sort something out where they’d release the sheet music, but unfortunately it’s not happening...

[@spikyplant313]

@@TrevorWicklund That's what I was scared you would say... At least rach3master is considering releasing his own scores, so we'll have something to play.

[@TrevorWicklund]

SpikyPlant Yeah. Themrzakid also has some videos of the scrolling sheet music transcriptions on here. They look very accurate. Still, there’s something about actually owning a piano book of the music that’s more satisfying to me

[@arni3l]

I was expecting Emil to play this. XD But great job!

Kneel down and ask for this ost. The official OST is simplified.

[@Aisluin]

wait do you actually know the rach 3 lol? Anyway, I've been watching all your covers and you've earned a sub. hopefully you get tons of new viewers with NieR: Replicant dropping. Keep it up?

[@celtavanyname5400]

crazy as hell but a prodigy it seems you guy has got the official scores in advance or you're an official stuff in SE's music department. hahahaha

[@yudhafpiano]

it's great 👍, can I use your transcription as my youtube video?

[@user-kf9vz3yq1e]

Can you give me the piano score of this song? It's so nice.

[@Cherie1805]

Hi, may I know where can I get/purchase this music sheet? I clicked your link on MuseScore but it has disappeared. Thank you ❤

[@mundogio9177]

Have you 2 Digital Pianos? what do you like more, of sound and his power, touch, feel, and the performance...the Kawai or the Yamaha?

[@rach3master]

I sold my Yamaha to buy the Kawai, which I think is a better instrument in all the qualities you've described.

[@mundogio9177]

@@rach3master But this Kawai is most expensive than Yamaha

[@Heartzilo]

Hey I found that on bar 5 there is no A in the sheet did u change that on later?

[@rach3master]

Good ears. I didn't even realize it!

What kind of piano is that? It looks so big yet too small to be a grand

[@rach3master]

It's the Kawai Novus NV-10 digital hybrid piano.

[@SheldonKreger]

@@rach3master It has a Yamaha logo? Can't be Kawai can it? I'm confused haha
