unlasting - Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld ED [Piano]

Ойын-сауық

Sheet music → mymusic.st/animenzzz/51532
Both 「ADAMAS」 and 「unlasting」 from LiSA are really amazing pieces, but what makes 「unlasting」 stand out is the serene atmosphere and the way the music is building up before each chorus. Definitely one of my favorite musical moments is the sudden drop in volume during the third chorus in 03:28, and LiSA's voice is shining brighter than ever - it's truly magical.
I also didn't know that the composer for「unlasting」- Kayoko Kusano - was also the same person, who has composed 「Gurenge」. This might explain the exotic pentatonic melody lines which is played by various instruments in the background.
Speaking of exotic, 「unlasting」 is also featuring a rarely used instrument in today's pop music: the Erhu (string instrument). The sound of Erhu immediately reminds me of "the exotic, far east" and I personally think it has one of the greatest vibrato sounds of all string instruments. No matter how often I hear it - I always feel nostalgic for some reason.
Another prominent feature of this song is the Ostinato (frequently recurring motif) which is playing the melody [C-D-F-G-Bb] at the beginning part, the verse part and the chorus part of the song. I tried to incorporate the ostinato as well in the piano, most notable during the chorus in 01:04 and 02:24 by using the three hand technique.
I usually spend the most time to make the bridge part stand out, because this is the key moment of every song: Suddenly a new element is introduced and melodies are further being developed. 「unlasting」 is no exception and during the bridge part in 02:56, the Erhu is playing a fantastic solo part. After experimenting on the piano, I found out that using a tremolo in the right hand is creating a sound which resembles the vibrato sound of the Erhu the most.
Last but not least, the final chorus in 03:45 deserves some mention as well. Usually, the final repeat of the chorus is the moment where the music is reaching its climax, but I did the opposite this time: The chorus melody is played in an impossibly high piano range, almost like a music box and it's slowly unwinding itself. It is hard to explain, but I think in that moment, I just wanted to have a moment of peace, a short moment of introspection.
To be honest I was having a very rough time this week and this arrangement has turned out more dramatic than my usual arrangements. In a way, all my piano pieces are reflecting my current mood and it essentially serves as a musical "memento" for me. Most of the arrangements which stands out above the rest are born in times of big distress I was going through. Brave shine, Owari no Sekai Kara, My Dearest, just to name a few.
But even after saying this, I know that I still have to continue doing my best, because there is always a light at the end of a tunnel. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed my piano arrangement of 「unlasting」. Your support means a lot to me.

    Guys, Animenz has over 1.5 Million subscribers - he is at 1.67 million right now. This is extremely impressive, especially for an anime pianist - a genre that does not have the most listeners. This is for a good reason of course, simply put the man is a legend on the piano. But some of his most recent videos - since around the 10 year anniversary version of My Dearest especially - have not broken even 500k views. This can destroy a youtubers revenue. I hate to say that on his behalf, but it has to be said. Musicians do not make a lot of money, this is just a fact, but Animenz is making videos every week! Every week! The practice that goes into these pieces, the ideas, the fine tuning. Do you hear any wrong notes in those trilled octaves? That is actually insane to me, someone who is majoring in piano performance at college right now. It saddens me to see the low amount of views on this. Maybe it is just because youtubes algorithm is being stupid, maybe its the lack of people who check youtube now as to back then. I just hope that anyone who takes a second to read this will stop using other sources to listen to this, bear with the advertisement on each video, and continue to support animenz by clicking on the video each week. Animenz, thank you for all of the hard work that you do for us. I hope that the views will start building up again. Know that you will always be my inspiration to keep going, despite hard times that keep coming. Thank you.

    I've felt the same way, and it's been pretty shocking to me that his videos haven't been receiving the attention that they used to, especially considering that I think these have been some of his best arrangements. With all due respect to other anime pianist youtubers, I just feel really weird seeing some channels that are blowing up, for reasons unrelated to the piano content itself. Meanwhile, Animenz has been pouring his soul into these weekly arrangements that are unbelievably beautiful and advanced, and hasn't been receiving the attention that in my opinion, he 100% deserves... It must be really demotivating for him, and I'm just very confused, and am starting to think that the target audience just isn't there anymore, for some reason. I come back and rewatch these videos many, many times, and I'm sure that many others do the same. Each upload becomes something that I'm able to treasure for years, and I wish there was some way I could support and give back to Animenz, because he has supported me so much.

    I started leaning anime songs on piano after watching animenz play unravel. I played piano for only 10 years(i practice only 30min-1hr per day cuz im student and am busy) so i still have troubles playing most of animenz pieces, but I can definitely see the improvement every time i finish a piece :). I’ m currently trying to learn silhouette and it’s kinda killing my left hand thx to so many left hand melodies and my right hand is also dying because im practicing moonlight sonata 3rd movement as well, but I think it’s worth it. Hope to be able to play all his pieces someday :)

    I don't remember the last time I got this choked up over listening to something ;-; Watching this during the premiere literally left me speechless, the way you played it felt so... heavy. Emotionally, I mean, like the purest form of venting. It's pretty cruel that the greatest arrangements come out of times of greatest distress but... they really do stand out, I think this might be your best arrangement of 2020 (personal opinion ofc! I'm very biased towards emotional arrangements), honestly, it might be my favorite arrangement of yours ever. Now that I've cooled down I'll try to write down which parts stood out to me the most, though the entire thing from the first bar to the last is absolutely incredible! 0:20 the voicing - and I'll just say this here, the voicings in this entire arrangement are off the charts, SO clear 0:48 those crystal clear r.h. octaves 1:13 when the left hand plays that rhythm for the first time I'm having such a hard time picking specifics because I keep thinking "but the *whole* thing is so good" 1:56 THIS PART oh this part hit me like a truck, the perfect amount of space given to breathe right before it, and then after being in the lower registers for so long it's so soft, crystal clear, I love it 2:10 still in the part from before, those runs sound GORGEOUS 2:25 perfectly placed gliss, and the entire bit after sounds so, so powerful, perfect use of the three hand technique 2:40 THE LEFT HAND OCTAVES the resonance... oh how good that must have sounded live, and then the run, just wow 2:54 the buildup, love the upwards scale in the left hand 2:56 THE SOLO. So powerful, so dramatic 3:28 is just. Wow. The drop in volume sent chills down my spine, also the voicing really stands out 3:45 ;-; 4:09 this is what hits it all home, and I mean the entire part until 4:42 4:42 the ending - the sensitivity and the dynamics are literally perfect I sure just basically put the whole song up there as "standing out," but I really did love it that much I hope your rough patch is over now, Animenz! Thank you for continuing to create music for us, as always!

Also the description is interesting because you can see his interpretations and work. I can totally relate why he’s playing LiSA‘s Songs because of her amazing voice and expression. Again thank you Animenz for your hard work! 🎹

    Another amazing, powerful and emotional piano arrangement, which I like more everytime I listen to it. I didn't know the original song until now (so also thank you for showing me a new song of LiSA), but I fell in love with this arrangment immediatly after listening to it. Even though I didn't know the song and I had no connection to it at all, it packed me from the start until the end and I could really feel myself getting lost in this powerful play. You're the only one, whose able to awake such emotions with songs I've never heard before and that's definitly another reason why I love your piano arrangements so much and why I decided to write down my thanks and my admiration for your arrangements once again. To be honest I've listened to your songs huuuundreds of hours while various situations like studying, sitting in the train or even during workouts haha - you are by far my favorite musician and your piano arrangements have accompanied me through many hard, sad, lonely, tough but also happy, joyful and inspiring times. Your piano arrangements always get the best of my emotional side and they hold a very very special place in my heart. I like listening to anime OSTs in general and I like listening to piano covers - so of course I also listen to other youtube pianists sometimes. But no one ever triggered all these emotions and I didn't stick to them very long. However, I already stick around your channel since 2012, I always listen to your new uploads as soon as possible and I didn't miss a single one in the past 4 years. As I am not a musician I don't really know how to describe this, but your arrangements are so damn unique. If someone would play 10 different arrangements of a song I've never heard before, I'd bet I would be able to recognice yours and maybe that's also a reason why I cherish your music so much, because to me your music truly is special and unique. Long story short: I just want to thank you again for your hard work and your amazing piano arrangements that are beyond words - 2020 was a hard year for a lot of people and also for me, as my long awaited exchange semester in Japan had to be cancelled due to Corona. But your constant uploads in 2020 helped me a lot to endure these hard times and they are always something I look forward to.

I hope next week will be a better one for you, even though I must admit you proved once again the best creative works often come out in specific emotional situations.

    Emotionally powerful,dramatic, melancholic,and heartbreaking performance Animenz. This is literally everything I could ever want in a piano arrangement. The way you play the ostinato throughout the song, the refreshing second verse variation with interesting LH runs and scales, the shift between each melody register, the interweaving of right hand and left hand (like the beautiful connecting scales at 3:25) the heart wrenching right hand tremolo. Everything you portray here is just an outburst, when you let everything out on the piano, the equivalent of "musical crying" if you will. The piano arrangement and performance that shook me to the core, something I haven't felt since your Brave Shine arrangement. This arrangement is also something that inspires, because I also love arrange music in this sort of "lyrical style", and you push it even further with this video. This piano arrangement also reminds me why most of us got enamored by music and start our journey : it is the ability to share our stories, our struggles, our pain, our joy, our emotions, using the anime song we grew to love as a medium, "translate" and "personalized" with each of our piano arranging style. I can feel that you're fighting against your struggle the best of your ability with this video, your uncertainty, your pain, everything is portrayed beautifully. But above all...I wish you the best of luck my friend, knowing how hard of the road it must have been for you right now. I have faith, that once again you will emerge victorious from this struggle as well. Because time and time again, you are always a man that defy our expectations and keep moving forward no matter what, I'm sure you'll get through whatever you're facing this time too. I'll be there and keep supporting you as always -CSMPiano, your friend

I hope I can continue doing this as long as possible before I completely burn out, which is unfortunately the inevitable fate for many many artists.

    Unlasting is one of, if not the one, most emotionally powerful OPs/EDs in recent years. And while it was sad to read you had a rough time in life when arranging it, that seem to fueled you to channel even more of yourself and your distress here, making the piece even more amazing, doing justice to already superb source. I'm really grateful that you share with us fruits of your work.
