Rize's melody - Tokyo Ghoul episode 12 BGM (Kaneki's transformation) [piano tutorial]

Hi again! Today I've finally finished transcription from Tokyo Ghoul episode 12 bgm. It's not your usual song with trivial chords progression, so it took me a while to finish. I saw someone called it Rize's melody (or original Sorrow), so let it be called so.
If you don't know what I'm talking about you can listen to the original here:
/ rizes-melody-tokyo-gho...
I actually love this melody (and the scene of Kaneki's transformation as well), hope you enjoyed it too.
P.S. Good luck with the sheet HAHAHA :3

Piano transcription by ZenSoul

[@DHarpuia]

The anime may be rushed, but when this music plays in the final episode, it's one of the most beautiful animes scenes ever.

[@ZenSoul]

+AlberichGamer I swear I get goosebumps and shivering when hear Kaneki actor's voice while this piece in the background. It makes your heart tremble just like Kaneki's. It's the real power of anime

[@shugoo6276]

But that fight scene tho ik (5 years old) but that shit wa slit

[@skychord8284]

This song makes you feel like you've had enough, and you can no longer tolerate what's eating you up. All the good things you've done was meaningless.

[@emitain8408]

Sky Chord Which makes total sense.

[@jonathanrenderos2039]

Sky Chord hence the songs name "sorrow"

[@stephenchoi1814]

Sky Chord that's what basically happened to Kaneki. All the good thing's he's done were meaningless after he turned into a ghoul.

[@rohanbanerjee1282]

This piece literally brought me to tears when it was played during the scene with kaneki and rize , where the White flowers were blooming into red ones.

[@shiro2400]

"I'm not wrong. What's wrong is.... this world!" my god I just love that part of the ost playing a that moment. Was absolutely beautiful! Thank u for the synthesia.

[@kvng.s0704]

during that whole part of the dialog 4:09 to 4:17 was my favorite part. there was just something about the beat in the piano that was on point... but overall good shit

[@poplola_7527]

"That'll do... Kaneki kun" "To live is to devour others" "I am a ghoul"

[@thecartoonboy9999]

Kaneki: "Mom...Mom. why...? Why did you leave me alone? I missed you. I hated being alone. I wish...I wish you had chosen me! I wish you had lived...FOR ME!!" Rize: "Even if it meant forsaking your aunt?" Kaneki: "EVEN IF IT MEANT THAT!!" Rize: "Even if it meant hurting someone?" Kaneki: "EVEN IF IT MEANT THAT!!" Rize: "Even if it meant taking her life?" Kaneki: "EVEN IF IT MEANT *THAT*!!!" Rize: "Good boy..."

[@PerfectSuperSaiyan]

you just destroyed me inside lol damn that scene was incredible.

[@jinhunterslay1638]

+Jason LaBonte sorry mate....but the epicness of the scene wasn't really conveyed when it's in English -_-

[@Acelightning632236]

+Jinhunter Slay I can already re-create the scene in my head, with Hanae Natsuki's amazing voice acting with Kaneki. Just imagine it.

[@17Domy97]

The most intense 40 sec of my life.

[@DarkBane3]

This scene make me remind Evangelion

[@abhidhoundiyal]

That conversation of Rize with Kaneki is my one of the most favourite anime moment ever. It always gives me goosebumps

[@dogemaester]

Hi, im KannoN. I'm actually the guy who called it Rize's Melody. Before Sorrow was released, I was looking everywhere for the OST to no avail. So I ripped out the audio and then later posted it on SoundCloud. That's when I thought of the name for it. RizexKaneki forever lol. I'm so fucking grateful that you transcribed this. I love you man! And still retaining that name.. You're awesome..

[@edenhazard2103]

so this is called sorrow?

[@dogemaester]

Shredded Humans yep

[@jhonfinal2012]

Soundcloud link please! I need this song.

[@hrishikeshaggrawal]

oh my god chad

[@hasanbassari7364]

it's been 4 years since the first time i listens to this video, since then i will always listen this whenever i felt overwhelmed by the world, lonely or severely depressed. somehow this ost gave me resolve or certain determination. thank you for uploading this.

[@hasanbassari7364]

Quick story, this was written when i was a highschooler. I was bullied by both family and classmates often overlooked and thought to be useless and stupid even by my parents, they were always say that once i get into adulthood I won't find a job. Year later my sister died and my parents divorced leaving myself alone unsure if i could provide myself money so i moving town from town even countries. Now, I'm an adult I've changed so much into someone who i never expected to be, i make a living, i make friends, i found where is my passion and exploit it to make money, surpassing that of my parents made. Even people look up to me yet I don't know why though and I don't really care. To whoever read this thank you.

[@ProbablyKen]

@@hasanbassari7364 I am sorry. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you do well.

[@ethanbennett1173]

Just. Wow. I kinda just fell into a pit where it felt so lonely but yet there was a certain warmth to it...

[@celestialgaming8394]

+Ethan Bennett I feel the same...

[@Kysmisa]

i love this song. it can put me in a trance in my thoughts without me even noticing. absolutely amazing. i love this soo much

[@Jendacake]

I know this is old but you literally just summarized exactly how I fell about this song.

[@koumusic2600]

The bird fights its way of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world.

[@AndyTheKing222]

My life is complete

[@taweeeenevika]

Tokyo Ghoul forever🥀

[@TheWaywardSpiral]

Thank you so much for this! This is both a clean version and a tutorial for this amazing song. I can't thank you enough. =D

[@ZenSoul]

Monster From Within Yup, I struggled with the sound a lot. But if you listen closely, there is annoying hammering in the background, I didn't figure out how to get rid of it without quality loss :'( Even so, I'm satisfied with the sound, think it's close enough to the original.

[@jessj9053]

This is so great I have been searching for this song thank you so much! You did an awesome job!

[@masarusenpai1952]

Around 2:19, I realized that this piece uses the leitmotif of Licht und Schatten. Very interesting.

[@infinitelygray]

One of my favorite tokyo ghoul's songs ☺

[@seijatachi7240]

Listening to this while reading the manga makes me so emotional

[@toufikbakrim9573]

Listening to this while working makes me so productive !!

[@scoutpark5230]

It's such a gorgeous and haunting piece. To me, it just makes me think of all my mistakes in my past and reminds me of a time where i was miserable and not making good choices. It feels like loss

[@lezabel]

I feel like it's bad that I know exactly what they say just by listening to the song, maybe it's because I have watched episode 12 like 7 times...

[@BlandineMSP]

Moi, a l'épisode, je met toujours le passage au moment ou y'a rize et kaneki, et je parle en disant les meme choses qu'eux au meme moment, au moin 10 fois ou plus a chaque fois..

[@celiapopotte5498]

•BLANDINE • putain la même

[@rupamsgaming5573]

No one will stand about this whole anime's soundtracks ..... It is one of the best

[@carloscondit7127]

"I'm not the one who's wrong, what's wrong... Is the world"

[@na-imah4261]

Good boy

[@sophia1979]

Absolutely outstanding, it sounds exactly like the episode version, I've been waiting for a video like this for a while now. Well done!

[@lilchopan8418]

This sounds like a chopin piece. Magnificent!

[@teenzmadthetrashydrawingar4603]

I love chopin :))

[@GGs-c1u]

Was this song ever released on an official soundtrack?

[@itzzthewolf3826]

PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL PLEEEEEASE

[@nintendomariofan445]

4:40 Kaneki: "I am a ghoul"

[@mossyabyss9574]

i listen to this all the time, thank you for making this!

[@PoomraffyAnimePianist]

This is awesome jobbbb! Now I want to learn the songs. Thanks so much for the sheets!

[@MYNinjaGaming]

I just found this and thank God I did. Thank you very much for this transcription. Been wanting to play this ever since I first heard it!

[@Grumf28]

Gonna try learning this one. The sheets make it look like a mind fuck. Thanks so much for uploading this. Haven't been able to find it anywhere else

[@buckaneer2549]

I love how this was incorporated into many of the original songs from Tokyo Ghoul.

[@ginew07]

It’s true, a real piano can convey so much more emotion. Based on how you hit it. Synthesized stuff though

[@josephflores8331]

Beautiful my friend just beautiful!❤

[@xXChopperinXx]

Amazing work! definitely you are the best, i wasted a lot of my time searching this melody in the net but i never found the original song :/. well, thanks you for do this i really appreciate it!

[@celestialgaming8394]

This is truely a work of art. And I dunno why, but after watching the video and hearing all of it, everything I look at gets larger o_0 EVEN NOW

[@bryantable7734]

you my friend are incredibly awesome for this!

[@ZenSoul]

+Bryan Meza Thank you!

[@Unikenarutouzumaki]

[@amirmasoumi7327]

I can't stop listening to this. Its so captivating for me.

[@danielvelicka4580]

I like this theme. In some places, I hear a classical piece. Both interesting chords, harmonies and flowing melody.

[@KokichiOuma_]

tysm!! I love tokyo ghoul both the manga/ anime are my favs and I simp for kaneki so this means a lot to me :)

[@amirmasoumi7327]

I can't stop listening to this!

[@Majestic469]

There's just something depressing, but at the same time, otherworldly about this piece.

[@AyushKumar-rg6jw]

i have been searching for this music from long time but i finally got it!!!!

[@gemars-6317]

Ayush Kumar me too

[@Void02000]

[@amingg71]

I'm learning this song about 2 months ago but damn it's really hard to play it:)

[@coleyerby3787]

Is there a way you could allow me to edit the sheets somehow? I will obviously credit you if you can. Thanks in advance!

[@nikhilkarnam48]

It has absuolutely no tempo harder than it looks

[@Konasium]

my favourite track and episode from TG

[@ZenSoul]

Konasium I wish I had perfect pitch... Takes too much time to find the notes. Usually I just experiment in Sibelius until I'm satisfied with the result. Though it can be trained, so I guess it will get better with time. Have no idea about the composer, didn't find any info of this track on the internet.

[@Konasium]

***** thank you :) I don't think I'll be revisiting unravel any time soon.. But good news is, I'll be transcribing from now on, and will be providing midi for any future arrangements ^^.

[@GabrielXxZZZ]

+Konasium the composer is Yukata Yamada,he done tg soundtrack

[@floweytheflower4939]

Just too good for my ears ;)

[@MrRobinkil]

Hope that you feel the collective love for you in the comments, you deserve it. Should be proud of yourself.

[@bastianpardo8426]

the most emotional piano song on the world

[@sirken2]

You are so loved right now I have been looking for a clean version of this for months now. Soon I will transcribe it into apb for a theme. I can't remember where it is but in roof a kenekiped in the prison there is this really crazy chaotic and disfunctional piano bit. Any chance you can find it and give that a go. The nature of it just gives me goose bumps due to the chords and dissonance in the tones

[@ZenSoul]

sirken2 I'm sorry but I probably won't do that. I didn't like it that much and didn't find a clear version, so transcribing it will be a tough task, especially considering it's "not-so-melodic" nature.

[@souravkumarpanda2212]

search for 'Die Verwandlung '

[@meilirima9597]

Ah, I'm actually tearing up while listening to this.
