Découvrez la vidéo We Are! - One Piece OP1 [piano] de Animenz Piano Sheets sur Le Fil YouTube de Piano Partage.

Well then, this is it:
WE ARE! is my final upload before I start my Animenz Live 2016 tour in 3 weeks again. I will perform in 9 different cities in China and I will be abroad for 2 months until I can finally return to Germany in september again.

Unfortunately, I also have to announce that this is the last piece of my "top 6 shounen series" and the remaining two will be postponed indefinitely.

Because after my animenz live 2016 tour, I will go on hiatus for one year.

A lot of things have happened in the last few weeks and I had to make a choice - that's either my youtube activities or my music degree.

(you can read the whole story on these two facebook posts)

TL;DR:
I have to concentrate on my studies and I will suspend all activities as "Animenz" on my twitter, Facebook and email account and I won't be available for a year. My youtube activity will be reduced to a minimum and I will only upload anime covers whenever I feel like doing it on a irregular basis.

But of course, i wouldn't go on hiatus without a bang, right?

So here is my final work: "WE ARE!" - the first opening song of One Piece!
This is one of the "jazziest" pieces I have arranged yet so far, with a pretty crazy "intrumental solo" part in the middle and an even more unconventional "finishing move".

It took me some time to identify all those exotic chord progressions of the original song, since I am still not used to jazz harmonics, but I think that I am slowly progressing. I hope that I can incorporate more jazz elements in my future arrangements because DAMN - jazz chords are so sexy.

*ahem*
I also decided to use an alternate camera angle as an experiment.
The overview of the keyes are gone but as a compensation, you can observe my hand positioning much better. Plus, you can see my left hand in the reflection as well (but seriously, it's time for me to buy a new camera until next time)

All in all, I am pretty satisfied how this piece have turned out and once again, it's another candidate for my top 10 most difficult arrangements I have ever made.

Therefore - HERE IS THE DEFINITE TOP 10 LIST OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ANIMENZ ARRANGEMENTS (until now)

1. Unravel (Tokyo Ghoul OP)
2. My Dearest (Guilty Crown OP1)
3. Sayonara Memories (Supercell/Yanagi Nagi)
4. Kuusou Mesorogiwi (Mirai Nikki OP1)
5. Snow Halation (Love Live! OST)
6. Extra Magic Hour (Amagi Brilliant Park OP)
7. Guren no Yumiya (Shingeki no Kyojin OP1)
8. Again (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood OP1)
9. We Are! (One Piece OP1)
10. This Game (No Game No Life OP)

Well then, I think this would wrap up everything.

Thank you for all your support over these years! Thank you for unbelievable 700k subscribers, and most important of all: thank you for your interest in anime piano!

I am pretty happy to see how the anime pianist community has developed over the past 4 years and how more and more people are starting their own anime piano covers channels.
It's really fascinating to see the different styles of each arranger, and the many ways to arrange the same song on the piano.

*sighs* I will definitely miss you guys.
But I think I can go on my 1-year hiatus with a satisfied feeling because I know that the anime piano music on youtube will be in good hands.
(Ishter, please lead the way while I am in hiatus! haha)

Well then, I hope we can meet each other again on youtube!

And may your love for the piano never die!!!
