Découvrez la vidéo One more time, One more chance - 5 Centimeters per Second [piano] de Animenz Piano Sheets sur Le Fil YouTube de Piano Partage.

『5 centimeters per Second』 (2007) is still one of the visually most stunning Anime movies I have ever watched and it essentially made me into a long-life fan of all Makoto Shinkai works. While I do appreciate the visual presentation, I have a hard time to accept the message of this movie (basically: never moving on from a failed relationship) and until today, I still have mixed feelings about this movie.

However, the Movie Ending Theme「One more time, One more chance」from Masayoshi Yamazaki is without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard as an Anime fan and I've always wanted to upload a piano arrangement of this timeless classic song.

Considering the gentle guitar sound of the original song, I also kept the arrangement very modest and only used a second layer of melody for certain repeating sections such as in 2:00 or 2:31. The highlight of the arrangement would be the hand-crossing Arpeggio in the final chorus in 4:02 and I was imagining a breeze of cherry blossom petals in this moment, similar to the final scene in the movie with the railroad crossing.

Compared to my other videos, this arrangement doesn't have many technical challenges and I simply tried to enjoy the melody as much as I could while playing this piece.

I still remember, when I was watching 『5 centimeters per second』 almost a decade ago, I was literally obsessed with the visual aesthetics of the movie and I started to collect as many Makoto Shinkai Anime related wallpapers as much as possible. Sometimes, I even used these Anime landscape wallpapers as an inspiration source, whenever I am stuck with my piano arrangements back then.

Alright, that's it for this week's upload! My next project is going to be another Anime Movie Theme Song and I think it's only a matter of time until I have added all my favorite Anime songs into my "Animenz Piano Library".

I am actually interested about your thoughts about this movie!
Is it a timeless masterpiece? Or is it just a story about a hopeless, self-delusional man?

Post your thoughts in the comments and
- see you next week again!
