Yoru ni Kakeru - YOASOBI [Piano]

Sheet music is available here: / discord
Yes I need to fix my upload schedule.
It feels great to be back! During this fall I have been studying many of the great classical works at my university. Currently I'm working on a few pieces by Beethoven, Chopin and now Ravel. To put it shortly: I've built up quite a bit of technique over the past few months. (The time in which I'm not uploading is essentially a training arc lmao).
But anyways, this is quite possibly the most difficult thing I've written once again as I tried to arrange all the voices and rhythms present in the song. It took me over an entire month to create this arrangement as compared to every previous arrangement I've done which took only a few days. You may have also noticed that I am using a new vst with improved audio quality.
The chorus is actually played in 4 different keys throughout this arrangement since I decided to put the intro part in a slightly different key from the original. After experimenting with random stuff, I ended up writing it in A minor which worked very well for some reason. Similarly, the second chorus at 2:28 actually didn't exist in the original song either. In its place were 2 other sections both half the length of the chorus, but for some reason inserting another chorus sounded much better when I first tried it. This arrangement also demonstrates trying to replicate as much of the original song as possible, but at many points I discovered changes in the rhythms or voicing worked really well instead so I altered the structure a bit.
I really like this new arrangement style though, I'll keep using it for future arrangements.

I don’t know what else to say boy. You’ve reached Animenz tier and have far surpassed the skill level in our community. I’m so fucking proud of you, and regardless of your criminally small sub count and statistics, you’re one of the 3 best anipianist I know.

[@AlexisLinAnimePianoWorks]

Jesus Christ, why I haven’t discovered your channel before. This arrangement is totally at a top-tier level. I love how you incorporate the patterns in Kawaki wo Ameku by Animenz into this arrangement. The risky jumps, the three-hand techniques, the insane arpeggios. Bro, this is truly impressive and you totally blew my mind.

[@CleoPiano]

Uh WHAT You've actually stunned me with this arrangement, it's my favorite of yours yet! Impeccable rhythm (which is critical for this song in particular) as well as a more cohesive rhythmic structure that works well as a cover of the piece! Not that I know why it works, but just that it does lmao! ALSO I HEAR A LOT OF INSPIRATION FROM ANIMENZ AND I LOVE IT The chain of scales/arpeggios starting at 4:02 was AWESOME to hear and reminded me IMMEDIATELY of Animenz's Kawaki wo Ameku arrangement (at 3:28).... *might it be inspired from there? :3* My only advice for future arrangements is an incorporation of silence/extended pauses/slowed tempo at certain points (transitions), which Animenz likes to use to create contrast and almost as if he's taking a "slow breath" (i realize it may not be fitting for this cover though, which is really upbeat the whole time). I've definitely noticed that a lot of flashy techniques/transitions no longer feel out of place as they sometimes were in ur previous arrangements, because they all feel like they have purpose with exactly where u put them and how u executed each one! There's too many good transitions that flow perfectly for me to bring up a specific one this time haha. I know I leave a positive comment whenever I have time, but this is the first time I was actually this amazed! I can genuinely see that your arranging skill has taken another leap forward. WOOOO FRUIT TAKE MY ENCOURAGEMENT AND I HOPE U HAVE A WONDERFUL WINTER BREAK!!!

[@fruitanimeonpiano]

oh wo big comment thank you, but yea i was practicing kawaki wo ameku along with ballade for the past 2 months. I originally did include a pause at the key change to the G major section, but then promptly decided to just make it a transition phrase which sounded better(i think). i wish i could have inserted a quieter section besides just that one but i couldnt find anywhere where it would fit rip. the second part of the ending is actually a theme based on the first two notes of the chorus. half the reason i was even able to arrange the song like this was due to the original song itself being quite upbeat(it is also 130 bpm like crying for rain lolol). a lot of inspiration was used too yes.

[@AkiPiano]

Just incredible. I especially loved the strong bass and the finale (reminded me of Animenz's Kawaki wo Ameku) :)) Really looking forward to your next upload!

[@TheWitch0fAgnesi]

[@PZMAnimePiano]

I've finally been able to find time to properly listen to this wonderful arrangement after 3 days. It's very obvious a lot of thought has been put into the arrangement and I love the little variations here and there. The originality and difficulty level is also mind-blowing, sounds like an Animenz arrangement (you even have the same VST as him if I recall correctly?) with the three-hand techniques and runs. (Maybe it's just me but I hear a lot of Animenz's Kawaki wo Ameku in here as well XD) Can't wait to see you explode in popularity!

I came back from the future...wanted to tell you that in those times, Animenz is living the retired life and you're the new bastion of anipiano. You're going to not only be a beast at explosive and dynamic songs but you'll have total mastery of all styles of animusic, including gentle and delicate ones, ones full of expression, and to the final level of storytelling with music.

[@fruitanimeonpiano]

[@yd_]

I recently started learning this (day 4, ~1-2h a day so far) after having not learned nor played anything remotely as difficult for almost 10 years. As soon as I tried playing 0:20 at tempo, I realized just how much time I would need to invest into this piece and regaining stamina/technique. For now, my goal is probably going to be to play this at half tempo within a couple months because it'll probably take more time for my decrepit hands to get used to playing at speed. Seriously, though, thanks for this amazing arrangement. I'm also learning your "Why I gave up on music," which I'm finding more manageable.

[@fruitanimeonpiano]

good luck, tbh i need to go back and rearrange this one because there are so many things i could do to make it more playable while maintaining the musicality.

[@crowkerus]

MAN i just keep coming back to this cover... i think the adjustments to the arrangement that you made do a lot to speak of your interpretation of the song!! i've heard that the piano is a really transparent instrument and that it's the way you play it that's supposed to color how it sounds, and i think that's really clear with the way you do arrangements. there's a lonely kind of warmth in the key changes that you made, while transforming that notorious dissonant upbeat-ness of the original piece to something more grand and bittersweet. which really elevates this cover beyond just being a 1:1 of the original song!! man the outro hits so hard with the way you build up tension in it. big agree with the rest of the comment section that you're criminally underrated, keep it up :] also random question, what is that orb that's always in your videos?

the part from 4:02 onwards feels a lot like the run in Animenz's domestic girlfriend cover, it's so nice

[@fruitanimeonpiano]

yea, i tried combining those type of runs with the first 2 notes of the chorus main theme. I originally included the repeat of the verse bridge section for the ending since that is what the original song uses, but I changed it since it sounded too repetitive

[@cruzchan687]
