This week's nostalgia Anime piano cover is another true classic with a very familiar melody: Dango Daikazoku from Clannad. Whenever I hear this melody, I can immediately picture the ending animation of Clannad in my mind with all the hand drawn Dangos.
It is hard to believe that Clannad has aired almost 12 years ago in 2008, but the story is still as fresh as ever in my memory. It's a little bit of pity that the first season of Clannad is usually neglected in favor of its second season, Clannad ~ After Story. Granted, the emotional impact of After Story is pretty much legendary, but I actually enjoyed both the "silly" side of Clannad and the "serious" side of After Story equally. (Especially that gym locker room scene with Kyou)
I wonder if people nowadays still watch those decade old Anime series from 2005 - 2010, especially people new to Anime. Since there are so many new Anime series airing every season, newcomers can be quite overwhelmed regarding what to watch next. And some people might be discouraged by the seemingly outdated animations and therefore just watch the more recent Anime Series. Well, I may be mistaken as well and people actually prefer to watch the "good old stuff" instead of currently airing Anime (笑)
A few words about this arrangement. It's probably the piano cover with one the lowest difficulty level I have done far and I applied the "simple is best" rule until the very end. My favorite part of the original song has always been the second chorus, when a choir is joining the singer and more instruments are being added. I used the deep bass notes in 02:45 to give the chorus a grandiose feeling, similar to what I felt when I was listening to Dango Daikazoku.
I was also wondering how to give this arrangement a proper closure at the end. Since I am only playing very high notes at the end, the sound reminds me a little bit of a Music box. The melody is gradually losing its speed, like a music box running out of its wind-up energy, step by step... until it finally stops. And all that's left is the silence afterwards.
Well, that's it for this week's upload! I hope you enjoyed the small nostalgia trip as much as I did. I am already working on next weeks upload and it's going to be a frequently requested song. It's finally happening. (´｡• ω •｡`)
See you next time!
