Full Moon wo Sagashite - Smile (Adv + Simp v1) - [Synthesia] Piano Arrangement/Cover

Hey there, Shadowsoothe here!
Here’s an arrangement/cover of the song “Smile” heard in the anime Full Moon Wo Sagashite. I’ve looked around for quite a few years but never found a piano arrangement of this song so I decided to make one myself. This video actually uses a combination of two piano arrangements I’ve made of the song - one that includes a lot of the moving parts of the song (Advanced v1) and the other that is a more simplified piano solo/cover (Simplified v1). The two together make for a neat little duet of sorts.
Hope you enjoy!
Piano solo arrangement made in Sibelius. Additional instrumentation added in Pro Tools.
Original piano arrangement by Shadowsoothe
Artist: Changin' My Life
Composer: Shintarou Tanabe / 田辺 晋太郎
Lyrics: myco
Anime: Full Moon wo Sagashite / 満月をさがして

EDIT: Update to the "Advanced" version can be seen at • Full Moon wo Sagashite... if you want to check it out!

    For reference, here's how the split of the arrangements in the video are: Advanced version (originally posted to my SoundCloud in August 2017): SoundCloud link (piano only): soundcloud.com/shadowsoothe/smile-software Left hand: Blue bars Right hand: Green bars Simplified version (originally posted to my SoundCloud in August 2019): SoundCloud link (piano only): soundcloud.com/shadowsoothe/smile-software-v2 Left hand: Red bars Right hand: Purple bars Also, any points that it shows only purple bars for the melody is when the purple and green are doing the same thing! Perhaps I'll upload videos of these versions on their own. Not sure if I'll make them piano only or process them a bit with Pro Tools like this one. If interested, let me know!

    이 곡은 smile을 연주한 피아노 곡 중 가장 마음에 듭니다. 혹시 괜찮으시다면 악보나 mid파일을 보내주실 수 있나요? 저도 smile piano cover 버전을 만들고 있어서요 답장을 부탁드립니다. This song is my favorite among all the piano performances played by Smile. If you don't mind, could you send me the sheet music or mid file? I'm also making a smile piano cover version Thank you for your reply.

    Hi there! I'm happy that you liked my version of Smile so much! Well...my mix of two versions I had made so I suppose it might be a bit misleading of the, er,, "quality" of my cover/arrangement with the two playing together? I really appreciate your asking for the midi file, but I'm sorry that I can't provide you that. I still think about the best way to provide sheet music, but I'm really not sure how I want to go about doing that (no idea as to the best place to go for this)... It'd really be neat to hear people playing my arrangement of songs though!! I'm curious, did you listen to my Adv v2 that I uploaded later? You can find it at kzread.info/dash/bejne/ipel0aZ7mbq2m7Q.html if you'd like! Don't forget to smile~

    @@Shadowsoothe 답변을 해주셔서 감사합니다. mid 파일 제공이 어렵다면 다른 부탁을 하겠습니다. 이 음악의 악기소리가 마음에 듭니다. 그래서 어떤 악기를 사용했는지 궁금합니다. 어떤 종류의 피아노를 사용하였고, 같이 사용한 다른 악기가 무엇인지 궁금합니다. 답변 기다리겠습니다. Thank you for your answer. If it is difficult to provide the mid file, I will ask for another request. I like the sound of the instruments in this music. So, I'm curious what instrument did you use? What kind of piano did you use, and what other instruments did you use with it? Answers I'll wait.

    I'm so sorry about the delay in getting back to you!! Being that this was my first Pro Tools production the setup is kinda weird, but I'll break it down as I can. The music you hear is based on 4 tracks I have in my Pro Tools file, which are as follows (everything is using the Xpand2 instrument set that comes with Pro Tools First): Track 1: Adv v1 piano solo (blue and green bars). The piano sound is a custom mix I put together. I'm not sure if you use Pro Tools or not, but in it you can assign 4 instruments on a channel. So this 'piano' is actually a combination of 4 things - "Natural Grand Piano", "Piano Soft Layer", "Reduced Piano", and "Resonant Ambience" at various sound levels. Track 2: Simple v1 piano solo (red and purple bars). This one uses a built-in preset called Hard Grand Piano in the Acoustic Piano group, but I've tweaked it. Instead of the Natural Grand Piano it uses I replaced that with a GS Piano+ (under Electric Pianos) and added a Soft Pad called Sunrise+ as well as tweaking their volume levels. Track 3: The acoustic guitar "riff" you hear along with the pianos. This is a tweaked use of the House Piano preset where I changed the two instruments it originally has to Hard Nylon String and Finger Nylon Acoustic+. Again, I tweaked the volume levels of these two instruments from the preset. Track 4: The drum loop behind everything. This is another tweaked use of the House Piano preset...amusingly. This time I changed the two instruments to two of the included drum loop patches (Loops for Pad Banks 3+ and Drum n Bass 175+). A note about tracks 3 and 4 is that I have NO written part for them at all. Both of them are based on the midi file of the "simple" piano arrangement with those instrument patches applied. Essentially it's a bit of "Pro Tools magic" as I've come to call it as the software interprets the midi file using the instrument patches I've applied and...you hear what it comes out as! This is what I've done on pretty much all of my tracks. A couple I've written out certain parts I wanted to have in the 'backing band' (like what I am doing with my newest one that is almost ready..."Love Bomb" by fromis_9), but otherwise it's just Pro Tool making "magic" with chord progression midi files (or the piano solo itself). If you have any questions I'll try to clear up what I can! I'm hoping this helps and is clear to some extent as it crosses a language barrier! EDIT: Forgot a word and formatting.

    @@Shadowsoothe 오랜만이에요. 1년 만에 연락드립니다. 저는 최근에 스마일을 포함해서 7곡을 만들었습니다. 그래서 Shadowoothe 님에게 파일을 보내려고 합니다. Shadowoothe님에게 파일을 전달하는 방법을 알고 싶습니다. Long time, no see. I'm contacting you after a year. I recently made seven songs including Smile. So, I'm going to send a file to the Shadowoothe. I would like to know how to forward the file to Shadowoothe.

    Hi @sck2713 !! It's good to hear from you and it's awesome to hear that you've been working on songs yourself! :D Your inquiry on how to contact me made me realize that I never added an email address to my profile here. I've gone ahead and added one now. So if you check my YT profile you should find an email address in my channel details (I think you have to click to reveal it). I look forward to hearing what you've been planning to forward me! :)
