After being separated for more than 8 months, I am so happy to be able to play on a grand piano again. It took me almost one week of nonstop practice to get used to the heavy keys of a Steinway again because I was playing on an electrical piano since January 2021. <\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the return of my instrument, I decided to upload the much-requested song\u300cThere is a Reason\u300dfrom\u300eNo Game No Life: Zero\u300f, which is essentially the spiritual successor of my \u300cThis Game\u300dpiano arrangement. They both feature extensive arpeggio passages, fast three-hand techniques and a super exciting finale part \u2013 with other words: Just pure fun to play!<\/p>\n<p>I used a very uncommon left-hand pattern in the first chorus in 1:11, because I really liked how the guitar instrument is building up the tension in the original song and I wanted to imitate that sound on the piano. I can\u2019t believe a simple octave left hand pattern can actually sound that exciting &#8211; sometimes simple is really the best. <\/p>\n<p>My favorite part of the original song is the key change in 3:36 because I absolutely didn\u2019t expect the chorus being played in E-minor instead of F#-minor. Usually, J-pop songs are using the key change for the final repeat of the chorus, but\u300cThere is a Reason\u300d basically reversed that order. Really awesome passage and I actually consider this as the actual climax of the entire song. That\u2019s why I omitted the pedal on the piano for this part to make it stand out even more. <\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, I was actually planning to play a small modulation in 3:50 to make a smoother transition from E-minor back to F#-minor, but I realized the best flow of music is achieved by simply jumping back to F# minor, like the original song. A quick glissando is really the ultimate \u201ccheat code\u201d if you want to do a key change instantly!<\/p>\n<p>Alright, thank you for reading this week\u2019s \u201cAnimenz Explains\u201d column!<br \/>\nWith my new recording studio fully set up, I will continue with my \u201cBest of Anime Movie theme songs\u201d upload in the next week as well!<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s a song from the popular Fate\/Stay Night &#8211; Heaven\u2019s Feel Movie!<br \/>\nSee you next week again!<\/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>Original Song: THERE IS A REASON<br \/>\nAnime: No Game No Life -Zero-<br \/>\nPublished by: Kadokawa (2017)<br \/>\nComposed by: Hige Driver \/ \u30d2\u30b2\u30c9\u30e9\u30a4\u30d0\u30fc<br \/>\nPerformed by: Konomi Suzuki \/ \u9234\u6728 \u3053\u306e\u307f<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*&#8212;&#8212;*<br \/>\n\u304a\u304b\u3048\u308a\u306a\u3055\u3044\u3001Steinway\u541b\u3002<br \/>\n#NoGameNoLifeZero #ThereIsaReason #Piano<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheet music \u2192 https:\/\/www.mymusicsheet.com\/animenzzz\/41487 My Steinway Piano is finally back!
