If you play my sheets on video, I’ll feature you on my channel!

Yeah, sorry, the thumbnail is actually clickbait this time; I didn’t bother to actually meld the piano visualizer with my footage in the main video. However, I did include a synthesia tutorial at the end for the first time in channel history. What do you think? Should I make the cover and the tutorial separate videos or keep it as one big one? Should I not do the tutorial at all? Tell me what you think down in the comments below.

When I watched Horimiya yesterday and heard this theme towards the end of the episode, I immediately knew this needed to be covered (I’m rooting for you to find the love you deserve, Sakura!). However, I ran into several obstacles during the process:
1. I had no idea how to arrange the part where the strings in the background had their own fast rhythm…rather, how to incorporate them into the arrangement along with the main theme. I’m pretty basic, so I think I would have just dropped it in favor of keeping the main melody, but these were so prominent that it seemed to be a sin to leave them out of the entire arrangement. Plus, I’ve got higher standards these days, lmfao.
2. I’m also not technically good enough to play what I had originally imagined how this section would have been played on piano, nor was my stamina very high during practicing different ways of playing this piece. I decided to compromise and play some of it like I imagined (that section starts on 0:52), but then transition to my usual “embrace the bass” kind of arrangement. Unfortunately, it’s not 100% percent accurate, since there were people talking over the audio, but I think it gets the feeling across.
3. The section from 1:41 to 1:52 is something I made up; my ears weren’t good enough to pick up exactly what was being played. Hopefully it sounds okay!

Anyways, here’s the result. Not the cleanest, but this is the best I can do with my jank hands for now.

As always, 楽しんでください!

  1. this show is that one show where the everyone, like everyone has the correct amount of screentime that makes us feel like as if they are not at all a side character. This show is one of my favorites, being on the first place next to Your Lie In April for me, cause both anime's have really great story and emotional moments and OST's and characters. and also cause they're the only ones i have watched. 🙂

  2. Who else get depressed by this scene? I thought i was the only one but damn everyone is thinking the same

  3. This is my first time get depressed by a side character, i never thought it'd be this deep and hurt. Thanks for the amazing cover! The song itself is beautiful, your cover makes it even more beautiful👍❤

  4. I didn't like her at first but then I started to love her, she deserved better I see now.

  5. I've been struggling to get the part at 3:06 for a while and I just now realize you play it with both hands for the octaves, I always thought you switch off from playing octaves to c c# f# to octaves all with your right hand. Finally I'll be able to fully play this now.
    Anyway, great arrangement Hayashi! this was the first video that I found of you and Instantly fell in love with this piece and love how you separate the video into a cinematic part and tutorial part.

  6. SPOILER:

    In the near future, she will belong to Yanagi, the hottest character of Horimiya :))))

  7. She is from the most simple character she is so beautiful so pure .
    She didn't hate yuki after all of that and just she is a good girl.

  8. High quality video, high quality playing, high quality anime, and there's a god damn tutorial. I could never-
    This is a really great performance my man! The like-dislike ratio shows 😀

  9. No matter how many times i hear you play this and seeing the scene in the background again lets out the water works 10/10

  10. To all looking for the original – "I finally Knew " is the OST…thanks for your help everyone

  11. There's no distance between us. I've never been this close to a person before. There's no boundary between us. I had no idea that I could feel so many different emotions.

    What can I do for you? How can I make you smile?

    You're so much stronger than I think you are… and you're so much weaker than I feel you are.
    You're delicate… you're fragile… That's why, wherever you go, bright, sunny days follow after.

    I never knew a world like this even existed.

    Thank you for shattering my reality. Thank you for wanting a future with me.

    What can I do for you? How can I repay you for what you've done?

    Oh… the spring sky is bluer than I've ever seen. If only I could gift you this wonderful sky. No.. I know what you'd like better. A cake with lots of whipped cream on top.

  12. Can u make another version of this but blue and green version? I’m trying to learn this but it’s hard to look

  13. Who is the original owner of this song like is it just called what the title of this video is called or what?

  14. The writers did really well, interpreted reality like the way it is. Not everyone can win. Kinda similar oragairu vibes with Yui…

  15. I finally knew

    😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

  16. I was crying for Sakura. She didn’t get a chance but at least tried though. Honestly she my favorite character

  17. She tried so hard to get his heart but gets rejected. SAKURA I LOVE YOU QUEEN ❤

  18. Such an amazing work ! I am currently trying to play the 16th notes! It’s difficult and it’s been a month! Love the work !<33

  19. I keep coming back here. It's been my comfort song ever since i found this video on January 2022. Thank you for uploading this 💞

  20. One year later and I can still see the pan over the sky with Hori-san happily calling "Miyamura!" With her arms wide open

  21. I liked her for she is the type of character design that I like. Short hair, wearing glass and she has the green color that I love. But then comes her story, slow, sweet, bitter and full of effort and hard-work just to get reject at the end the day. She laughed, smiled and act as if at the end she is fine and unbroken to the whole world just to finally broke down in front of her best friend who she feel safe enough to cry. That screen alone show me the friendship between Sengoku, her love for Toru, her kind heart for not blaming others for her failure, her toughness and weakness. Her color should have been pink for sakura but honestly the green fit her. Her appearance only like the leaf of the tree while she her self is that beautiful and gentle flower that light the whole world when it bloom.

  22. This made me realize that thr main characters happiness come at the price of the side character's chance at theirs.

  23. I need this song on Spotify!! Ugh I wish all the horimiya ost were on there!!

  24. I love this piece so much. Thank you for the wonderful cover, you made my day really so much better 🙂.

  25. After hear this ost

    I wish sakura ended up with tooru
    🙂

  26. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I love this song and have always wanted to play this song but I could never find the music sheet for it and you have it available. Thank you so much!!!!!! You are such an amazing player!

  27. I love this cover, especially how intense the middle is, it's really emotional. I want to learn this but I'm new to piano so Im learning an easier song from horimiya right now, but one day I hope to be able to play this
