How to describe it the best&#8230; Imagine you are a conductor. And one day, you have been asked to conduct Beethoven&#8217;s 9th symphony. Just imagine the pressure. As an anime pianist, it was a great challenge to arrange these songs as accurate and emotionally powerful as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I made good progress in the beginning and I quickly finished the draft for each of these three songs. However, after arranging the TV-size, I quickly ran out of ideas for the rest of the full song. I couldn&#8217;t think of any good variations to make the arrangement more interesting and I started to copy paste many sections. My ideas just didn&#8217;t worked out in the sheet and I was in a hopeless situation. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, I dropped the three sheets and felt depressed for a whole month. I failed and I couldn&#8217;t meet the expectations.<\/p>\n<p>A month later, I was listening to my usual anime music playlist and I finally found a solution:<br \/>\nI just create a piano medley instead. <\/p>\n<p>I immediately began to work on the medley sheet and repurposed the three abandoned TV-sized sheets. The TV size length has been extended a bit by reusing some motifs of the original song, and I created smooth transitions between each song for a better flow of music. The entire sheet underwent more than two hundred edits until every single note is polished.<\/p>\n<p>I actually wanted to make piano arrangements for these three songs since the since the very beginning of my YouTube Channel, because I love the Key Anime series. Along with My Soul, Your Beats! (Angel Beats! OP) &#8211; these were the anime songs I&#8217;ve always put on my to-do-list. And now, the piano arrangement I was longing for has finally been created.<\/p>\n<p>This Key anime piano medley was probably one of the greatest challenges I have ever faced so far as an anime pianist on YouTube. But with this weight lifted from my shoulders, I can finally move on again.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading my video description! I hope the music was able to touch your heart &#8211; same as the three Key anime series has touched mine.<\/p>\n<p>Animenz<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*<br \/>\n\ud83d\udce3My Social Media<\/p>\n<p>Follow me on Twitter!<br \/>\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"770\" data-height=\"1000\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Animenzzz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tweets by Animenzzz<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nI am using Instagram as well!<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/animenz_official\/<br \/>\nMy Facebook page:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Animenz<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfb9Piano arrangement by Animenz<\/p>\n<p>Songs used in this medley:<br \/>\nTori no Uta, Last Regrets, Toki wo Kizamu Uta, Dango Daikazoku<br \/>\nAnime series: Air (TV), Kanon (2006), Clannad After Story<br \/>\nPublished by: Key Sounds Label<br \/>\nComposed by: Jun Maeda, Shinji Orito<br \/>\nPerformed by: Lia (Tori no Uta, Toki wo Kizamu Uta), Ayana (Last Regrets)<br \/>\n &#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*<br \/>\nOne last thing:<br \/>\nThis time, I didn&#8217;t record in the usual big room in the conservatory with the Steinway grand piano, but instead, I recorded in a smaller room with a fairly old, but very beautiful concert grand piano from a German piano brand called &#8220;Seiler&#8221;.
