Dude, your story nearly brought me to tears! I had no idea that so many others have felt this weird polarizing effect anime has. I've found that it's either been a great way of building bridges with other people (read, other fans) or something you have to hide from friends and family to save yourself from mockery. That said, my family tried to teach me piano when I was young and I wasn't interested, but once I found anime piano and sheet music I could learn by, I gained the inspiration to take up piano again and keep playing. Your songs are such an amazing inspiration ishterkun! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I'm 14 now, I started watching Anime and learning Japanese when I was 9. My parents didn't want me to watch Anime because they wanted me to focus on my culture and country (Malta). They used to say stuff like "Anime is for Asians who speak Japanese, not for people from Europe". Well guess what? I've now learnt 9 languages (Japanese is one of them) and continue to watch anime. I even play Anime songs in my school band now. So basically, if you get mocked or stuff for liking Anime and Japanese culture, don't worry and continue liking them. They will open many doors into the future.

It brings back everything those stories made me feel. And this was a very inspired performance. You added to it with your passion.

I'll allways remember how my dad used to play pokemon's OP on a little toy piano I had. I tried to imitate him, then became quickly good at finding things at ear. Then I bought my electronic piano, it's still the same one since nearly 10 years. I still play by ear, i'm learning a coldplay medley right now. My dream would be to have a real piano, in my house, later, to play for my kids, play at someone's wedding....

I started playing by ear after picking up guitar. I tried piano, but it just wasn't for me. Then I found out I have an affinity for plucked/strummed, fretted stringed instruments. I later bought a mandolin, and later still a banjo, and a bass guitar. Mumford and Sons used to be a huge inspiration for me, though I've since moved on to punk rock. It's actually a somewhat interesting story, though one for another time.

It's alright bro. I was (and still am mocked) by my brother for being depressed from anime. Also, unlike you, I don't know what to pursue. I haven't found anything I'm good at. "Human waste" is what I'd refer myself to.

Maybe pursue something related to anime? Maybe you could even learn Japanese! That can take you into many international relation related jobs-- plus you can travel and live in the culture that the anime describes.

"Its worth something to be a pianist, even if others tell you you wont succeed in it"

You thanked us so much with this video but now it is time for me to say "thank you". You are a really important person in my life. You made me entering anime in it's full glory. Furthermore you made me practise the piano more then ever before. I've had lessons for about 8 years until I quit them. I just weren't able to motivate myself for a continuous practise of classical stuff. So I tried jazz which didn't go well too. Some months later I watched Sao, because everyone did, and liked the opening song very much. I wanted to play that on the piano and searched for it on youtube. I found your cover and all of your other arrangements. I realized that there are so much more anime out there with different topics, storys and feelings. I practised your sao arrangement like I never practised something before. I was so motivated and fascinated that you did this all by ear and learned everything on your own. And finally I was able to play it. I was very proud of me but then I wanted to try arranging by ear for myself. I wanted to play more anime songs, because these emotions and feels you reached me with made me wanting to share my emotions and ideas too. I am 18 years old now and play the piano for about 10 years. But for me the real playing began with discovering you. I haven't watched that many anime yet but I cried and wept often while following the journey of my favourite characters too so I really understand your feelings. These beautiful but also sad feelings, full of excitement. Thank you for bringing me back to the piano and making it a dedication for me. Thank you for showing me the beautiful world of anime and its music. When I listen to your arrangements I can feel all of your emotions. I don't know any other pianist that makes me feel like that. Thank you for these incomparable moments. Arigato~ for everything. This video is so great and sad, damn feels ;_; The song is one of the most beatiful I've ever heared. I live in germany but if there will be a concert where I can get to somehow, I definitely will be there. I wish you only the best for your future and I guess I don't have to tell you but even if you struggle with anything, keep it up and do what is fun to you! (^-^)/ Ganbatte~ Ishter-senpai

I´m 15 Years old and live in Germany, too. Perhaps we will meet us in the future at an Anime-Piano concert ^-^ Ishter and Animenz are my great heroes. I hope to be like them in the future and try to stabilize my dream.In my opinion "Dear You" is the best song to get hope. I dont know why, but it gives me hope in sad days. Ps: Verliere auch du nie die Lust am Klavierspiel. Es ist für mich das bedeutsamste auf der Welt. Auch ich werde immer weiter machen, solange ich kann. Ansonsten noch Liebe Grüße von mir aus Niedersachsen ^-^

My Roomates laugh at me all the time too, i hope someday i could find a place where i can relax and enjoy. Thank you for the music.

Being able to play by ear is a superpower.

I was once like this. No matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to speak to anyone. Then, a "miracle" happend. This miracle was a boy in my class, who has once the same problem. Without even knowing who I was, he talked to me, became my friend, and I became more and more sociable, thanks to him. Then, in order to be interesting to my new friends, I started learning cello. Now, I am 16, and I am very happy about my life. All thanks to this boy. Were do you live ? If we are close enough, can I become your "miracle" ?

Your storytelling alone can make anyone cry! That was beautiful, and thank you for sharing your passion and love. :)

Its pretty crazy how much I can relate to your story. I'm around the same age as you, 2 months older to be exact. I also found out at a young age that I had an "ear" for music while playing around with a piano at church. I never had the money to take formal classes, so I pretty much self-studied., watching others, looking through books, and now browsing youtube videos. At times, I became unmotivated to keep trying because some of my peers were light years ahead of me since they took classes regularly. I always found my way back to playing the piano though. I found out about anime when I was in high school. My first anime was Inuyasha and their music had me completely hooked. Then I found out about Final fantasy music and the rest is history. My family and friends always complained about why I liked to watch "cartoons" at my age. Instead of telling them, I pretty much let the music do the talking. I just wanted to let you know that you are a big inspiration to me. There were times where I thought it would be impossible to play certain music unless I took years of music class, but watching you play all these difficult songs inspired me to keep practicing and enjoy playing the piano. Sorry for the rambling. I normally don't comment much but your story and this song kind of pulled on my heart strings a bit. O:)

This is such a emotional story and it gave me hope. And I like how well you express your feelings through piano as well. This is a really inspirational video; well done.

OMG, that was incredible! You're amazing

You are such a big inspiration. I love how you put your emotion into your playing and how you can feel it in your performance. Thanks for sharing this music

TehIshter, you really inspired me a lot man.. Your Spice and Wolf OP video which I watched back in 2012.. Those times before I even had this channel and was just starting on anime itself.. I starting searching for anime piano songs on youtube for the first time and found your videos, animenz videos, and alot more.. I was 15 too when I started watching anime back in 2012. What a coincidence :) I have the same "goal" as you. All I know is I enjoy playing anime songs on piano. And when I saw that people got inspired by me too and enjoys the same feels as I do, it had sorta became a goal for me :D To spread the love of anime and anime piano, and piano itself :) Anime Pianist United FTW! :3 I'm in the middle of school lunch break now so I can't type much, but I just want to let everyone including the anime pianists of youtube to know that Anime Piano changed my life too. I can't imagine life without anime or piano now. We should all thank TehIshter and Animenz and ourselves and everyone who created anime and piano. And TehIshter, thanks for inspiring me, and all of us :') (P.S. I realised I shared this video publicly on Google+ when it was meant to be unlisted :o Re-commenting the same thing again :)

6 years on I still rewatch and remember the first time I saw this as a teenager and cried from it. Love you, thanks for still being active and making covers

There is just so much emotion coming from this video. From a fellow pianist to another, a fellow anime fan to another, a teen girl to you, theishter, I just wanted to say that you are absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your story

I love how you can put so much emotion in to your pieces! You've always been a big inspiration for me as well as Animenz! Your videos brought me in to the world of anime and I've come to love it! Seeing new videos from you makes me very happy and your sheets have taught me so much about piano! I am very grateful for all you have done for all of us! Keep on playing and inspiring the world! I hope one day to attend one of you concerts!

I was born in Philippines as well. I fell in love with anime and its music too when I was thirteen but my family gave me a guitar to play than a piano. I still love both instruments. And I'm glad that Chobits was your first anime cos it was also my first, too. You have a great talent I am just glad that you are doing the things that makes everyone, including yourself, very happy.

This is amazing! When you close your eyes and listen to the piano, you can feel all of the emotions that were put in to this piece. I think this is by far, the most emotional piano piece I have heard.

I completely forgot this song and then BAM instant nostalgia! Thank you so much and you also have a great story, I think many people can relate. Once again thank you so very much.

So nostalgic... Reminds me of why I started piano back in freshmen year in highschool

Wow the song mixed with the story moved me so much I cried. Thanks for sharing, and helping me remeber that I'm not alone and that there is a place where we can always fit in.

Your video made me cry. Thank you so much for what you have done for all of us! I wouldn't ask for anything more than this. The joy of having you perform anime OSTs....the Piano is something I had passion for as well as anime and I've started playing it last year. Again, I thank you so much for everything right now by you. My absolute inspiration.

This made me cry :( I'll be supporting you and Animenz! For as long as I live. I'll never forget what you two have taught me, and as an Anime Pianist myself, I understand exactly how you felt. Being mocked by others for your love of anime. I'm no way near as good as you and Animenz on the piano. Even though I've been playing since the age of 3, watching anime since 11 and am now 14, I'm still no way near as good as the 2 of you. Never give up, Theishter. All of your fans are here for you ^O^ I am a great fan of you and Animenz, so don't disappoint me lol xD You may not know it, but the 2 of you were what sparked my passion to put 2 of the thing I love together. You are both what keeps me playing the piano, to be at your level. Thanks, guys :D

I can relate to your experiences as well, as I was mocked and still am for my love of music and anime. There is nothing wrong with either. I discovered my passion in music and anime soon after my twelfth birthday, after finishing the series Clannad. I had instinctively replicated melodies on the piano much earlier, however, I never really appreciated the beauty of music all that time. Until I was in the Anime realm, I never felt many emotions. I was plain and lonely. I had nowhere to escape to, for peace, so I ended up going through my heritage and rekindling my love for anime. People never really have understood how anime and music is so precious to me, because I never really show it in fear of being humiliated by classmates and family. I am currently studying to become a composer. Thank you, Ishter-kun, for sharing your story to us. Keep doing what you love.

Back here in 2021 reading your inspirational story all over again. I'm just mesmerized by your drive and story. Drawn to this all over again. 🤍

your story omg.... so touching ♡ i hope you continue with what you do on the piano. it really is amazing

I'm sort of glad that didn't have to experience people I knew hating on anime. All the guys and girls I knew liked it, and even the 'cool' kids watched the bigger name ones like One Piece or Bleach; and they weren't just fellow Asians. I think that everyone can enjoy it, it's just that all dem ecchi's that overshadow most of the splendid work of others. My elder sister used to think anime was for perverted children until I showed her Howl's Moving Castle.

Once again, I cried. And this time I cried even more, now knowing how powerful your emotions really are.

I got a tear in my eye from reading your story and hearing the beautiful music. I so feel your story of being mocked for the thing you love, it's awful. Glad you now get the appreciation you deserve!

I am so touched by your story. I've always been a huge lover of anime and of music. I started violin when I was six and piano only recently. I've always felt ashamed of loving anime, and even to this day I keep it to myself. I haven't found that place yet where I'm not alone in the world, but I'm glad that you have. Keep doing what you're doing, you are amazing and I love listening to you play.

I used to hate anime, for no reason, and i always judge them without watching them.Now, I am not loving it, but i like it, i accepted it.I realized that anime can move people, they can tell a story in a different way, it make me to think, think about people, the world, the universe, and myself. I am blaming the me that used to hate anime, but I want everyone to know that, anime has Its own potential which is unique and irreplaceable.

I guess I am in the same boat as ishter.... My first anime was Clannad and I cried so much and felt the sadness and pain the main character felt..... I opened my heart and told so friends about but.... Just like istler I was mocked about crying to girly Japanese cartoons and I was devastated......people where quick judge the appearance and gave it as as there impression on it.. I hated it so much so I pretty much closed myself off from everyone else including my family.... I was pretty much the only person who watched anime...nearly my entire school life none of my friends knew anime even existed expect me.......but once I entered Highschool I was still scared to open my heart about anime until I made friends who do watch anime and that's when I finally felt where I belonged.....some were the same as me and wanted some to talk about anime later on second semester we finally made an anime club... Probably the first in my school to have an anime club...we did lots things to get people to know anime more than just looking at the cover... Over the months we saved enough money and went to an anime con.. that our clubs first completed goal...... When I saw this video I know how you feel cause we both nearly had the same goals... I remember when I went and saw you at Singapore with animez... I never felt alone any more.... After 4 years of isolation..... And now I feel confident telling about anime now. Watching this I finally get to let all my emotions fly............. See you guy later... ,your pianoist student..

That was so moving, and your story (though, I'm sure there are far more details than that), touched my heart. I found myself wiping a few tears away, since I (as well as many others, I'm sure) have experienced similar events. To be honest, I was just mindlessly listening and relaxing to your music while doing other work, but when this this particular song came up, it struck a nostalgic feeling, and I was inclined to turn back to the screen when I noticed you telling your story, and I'm so glad that I did. And I'm so happy that you were able to find peace with everything. You, as well as your music, are amazing! Thank you for standing strong throughout all of it, so that people that "are" in the situation that you "were" in, can be inspired to do so as well.

I just happened to have this recommended to me today. Happy birthday and keep up the amazing work. These videos bring calmness and happiness to myself and so many more. (And we all know 2020 can use all the help it can get.)

Beautiful story. I have never met you, but I am so very glad you shared your story with us and are following your dreams.

After hearing this beautiful music and reading your story, I feel like there's no need to hide your passion and devotion on something. I had a passion for drawing. When I started drawing, it was a sour start. My drawing was mocked and I think I'm a failure as a drawing artist. But I didn't give up. I practiced everyday to improve my art and now? I had my own Deviant Art channel. Although it's still a rough start, I'm still determined to show my art to the world.

this song fits so much i cried.But im happy that you finaly get to show your love for anime to the world

I've been watching your covers for a long time, and I've just now come across this masterpiece of a cover. This is so good!

Tehishter....we anime fans/viewers of your videos also love you! I almost cried ;( although I really do Congrats you on your amazing ability and your success! Keep on playing and we'll keep on giving support!

The story you shared along with the absolute beauty in which you played this song combined to resonate in a way that words cannot adequately describe. This was beautiful and I hope you continue to share your talent with the world.

I love this song so much. And i love your story. It touched my heart and made me tear up because I can relate so much. Thank you for making me happy, never stop making music. We'll be with you forever and ever.

I am half Filipino, I'm 11 years old, I started watching anime when I was 10. I was using my computer and discovered my skill for playing by ear. I have tried to learn piano, and I've taught myself long and hard songs like Death Waltz (Last Brutal Sister Flandre S), but my fingering is awful. I'm taking piano lessons in 2015, so I can get the fingering ready and play masterpieces, from classical to anime to Touhou. My first anime (that wasn't Pokemon or DBZ) was Attack on Titan. Every episode brought me to tears. Thankfully I had otaku friends and my non-otaku friends didn't even care, so I was in the safe zone. I continue to watch many animes such as FMA, One Piece, Madoka Magica, SAO, Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, Fairy Tail, and others. I now arrange music in a format called "black MIDI," I arrange other songs to my satisfaction, and I even compose my own songs. I can simply touch the piano and accidentally learn a new song now. It's a very nice gift, thank you God. Someday I wish to be known by many. I strive constantly by uploading a variety of works to my channel. Ishter and Animenz are pianists that I look up to now. I didn't know there were so many people I could relate to, in this video and in the comments. Very interesting.

Hi, I´m an Anime-Pianist, too. All of the people said to me, that it´s too late to study the piano. This is why I started to play the piano when I was 14. Now I´m 15 and can play very well. In the beginning I was very disappointed because I don´t have an absolute pitch. But I did not want to give up. And so I practice and practice a very long time. My fingering is, for one who has play the piano for 1 year, very very great. This is why I´m a fast learner in everything and I have a great memory^^ Isther and Animenz are my heroes, too. I want to be an Anime-KZread-Pianist in my future. Actually I wanted to start Yesterday with recording this piece, but my camera says "nope" falls down an broke^^ So I need a new camera before starting :D Greetings from Germany :)

A new genre of story-telling!! It totally is!! Thank you for loving anime and music so much and sharing that joy with us!! And specially to ones who are still a novice at or don't know how to play a instrument but want to hear the anime cover! Really thank you!!

I listened to this music literally hundreds times by now. I come back to this when I need to get cheered myself up, get concentrated on work/study etc. I love it. Thank you!

I feel the same way. Animes give me a world. They inspire me to draw, to play the piano, to code website, to question myself... I was lonely with my feelings but animes undersood me.

この動画を見て、あなたに憧れてピアノを独学で始めてみようと思えたんです

God You already makes me cry and now that I'm listening to your story I just really wanna give ya a hug

Came for the song, stayed for the story. And what a story you have. Love to see music bringing people together in any way possible. You earned a sub for this beautiful piece of art. :)

I understand that feeling mister piano guy, i always liked anime since i was around 14 or 15. At first I was obsessed, but i quickly realized that not everyone will see anime the way many of us do. In my opinion, i think anime is one of the best ways of storytelling created, but it isn't a way to escape reality. So to those who just started liking anime, it's good to remember that reality will always be there and it's best not to live in a fantasy world. Go out there and chase whatever hidden passion you have! :)

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Every single part of it.

@theishter I maybe be a new subscriber but ever since I found yours and animenz's channels a good 6 years ago I fell in love with your music, it inspired me to try to play your songs which when ever I have the free time I try to work on. You inspire us all. Me and the majority if not all can say we appreciate your existence without you life wouldn't be the same. Keep up the good work, here's to reaching 1mill soon.

THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COVER PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO THIS. YOUR WORK IS BEAUTIFUL AND ITS BEAUTY CAN NEVER DIE AAAAAA

this made me cry... i know the same feelings as you, for both piano and anime. in fact i had a near identical experience. only, when i was 7, i was introduced to the piano, and when i was 12 i was introduced to anime. and just like you, chobits was one of the first ones i watched. its amazing how similar people can be.

Hot Microwave the vn is better than the anime

Honestly you picked the best song you could for a story. It conveys the same amount of struggle and pain but yet full of Hope that was shown in Higurashi. Never stop doing what you love!

Everything said perfectly. There's nothing in this world were i felt more attached to than certain characters. If something we're to happen to them i would feel exactly i would if the character actually existed. For me anime is not just some cartoon, seeing the series and character progress alongside with their theme always bring a shiver down my spine. I think it's quite late for me to start with the piano but you, alongside with Animenz, definately are my Idol when it comes to this. I hope someday in some years i'll be able to play all the soundtracks that make me smile everytime i hear them. Thank you for all your content and keep it up! ^__^

Absolutely love this piece, Theishter. It's the first piece I ever studied on piano. Choosing this piece to start as my first was extremely difficult. It took me nearly 2 years to fully get down pat, but through that journey, it only became closer to my heart. Thank you.

Skies - Piano Covers & Arrangements Hi this is the first piece I (almost) learnt how to play too

自分もyou弾けるけどこんな複雑じゃない、、、 しかもこの人のピアノは音と音が滑らかになってて到底真似できない、、 らすさびの盛り上げかたとかたまにはいるアレンジはとりはだものでした、、

I'm glad to have discovered your channel. Thank you for the music!

Thanks for the relatable story along with a song from my favorite anime played wonderfully on a piano. You earned yourself a subscriber mate :D

*comes back after 2 years* still god damn amazing.

I actually found this by accident while wanting to hear the song played on piano. It was a nice story.

I can't get over how incredible you are on the keys, and the one you did with Tokyo ghoul I can't get enough of.

You just have made me a subscriber after reading your story and watching you play. And this was the first video I've seen from your channel.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

TheIshter's Story is my favorite slice of life anime. To be real though...I can relate with your story so hard, it's not even funny. I used to harbor so much hate towards myself for liking things that weren't liked by a lot of other people, even though I didn't really receive much hate from outside sources, except from my unsupportive parents. Now though, I'm getting better at piano and the other things I'm passionate about without any self-hate. Hearing your talent, effort, and your story is extremely inspiring. Finding you on KZread made me really appreciate *different* media such as anime, so thank you for that.

omg.... dude you have me in tears. I can relate to with so much, in regards to piano(although I don't have the same skill you do) and a love for anime. thank you, just thank you and know that you are never alone

You make me cry.. :'( I love your music, keep play until your end! I will keeping listen you from Belgium! :'D

I found the song in Osu! It's a game you can play on your computer and Windows Phone (where I found the song). It's free and you can make your own account there, it will let you chat other people, submit your scores online and play more songs on there. You can make your own as well. It you know games like Dance Dance Revolution and Just Dance, this is kinda like that.

dude you are a story that speaks to not all but anyone willing to listen I wish that more people were like you thank so much for telling the story

I almost cry your story is beautiful in a way ;__; I'm happy you didn't give up!

わぁぁあ！ ひぐらしだしyouだしなんか嬉しい♪

Thank you for always playing anime music for us. As a story maker I must say that the beauty of anime is enormous, it's a great medium for storytelling, in anime you can be free, really free in making stories without limitations. And I must say that a lot of it impacted my life a lot, especially the beauty of the background musics. I want to thank you again for playing all of the beautiful anime songs on piano, and also I want to thank all the amazing people who creates anime, I appreciate you all very much!

This made me oddly emotional. Thank you for telling your amazing story Theishter.

Oww man hear your story, my heart is melting 😭,, it's true not everyone know the true potential of anime, and they just judge from the cover

Our stories seem really similar except I dont have any talent lol. I said "screw you" to all the people who made fun of my love for anime back in 04-05 when I was 15. No one should ever hide who they really are, for any reason.

Zachary Lerner Different times. Anime fans were bullied when I was in high school which was 07 and earlier. Middle school was more accepted and obviously in elementary school it was "cool". Times have changed as it has become more mainstream and people realize it's NOT all for kids. It's similar to how video games use to be only for "kids and nerds" but now are accepted for adults.

Kougeru "Different times" Nope just luck... I'm 15 now (turning 16 in around two weeks) and during the whole year of I guess 10th grade or smth? I met like one guy who watches anime and he watched Dragonball back in the day... There might have been a person or two more but I couldn't tell. I feel like I'm the only non totally social awkward person that is regularly having fun watching anime in a 5km radius... We're pretty lonely us otaku's here in Greece, and we are definitely made fun of and underestimated, so I am pulling off an "oreimo" where I don't show my hobby to anyone to have friends. A shame really :(

とても感動しました！ 強弱の付け方がとても上手で今まで見てきたものの中で一番です！
