100% I am actually in the process of sharing it with someone right now. :) they have no idea how deep it is about to get. "oh it's kind of like a sports anime!" then 2nd in "Well that was sad." ;)
As soon as the first notes set in I was hit with like a billion painful memories about the space difficulties that fictional characters had Tears forming, brb
It's one of the most emotionally charged anime I've ever seen, and one of the best. And so few people know about it, I can never talk with anyone about it.
I think I agree with MegaRekyyli. The mindset characteristic that you're talking about is encapsulated within his point of progressing to a certain level. To understand music and express it is to progress to a certain level.
Awesome performance and great play. His music has 'story' and 'soul' in it. I truly believe that he watched the Gunbuster episodes and understood the story.
Came here for the nostalgia of Gunbuster, and became a subscriber because of the sheer talent. Thank you! I'd forgotten how beautiful the score to Gunbuster was.
It's people like you, who think they need 'talent' who don't achieve the things they want. Because they are busy whining that they just don't have that 'talent' and forget to actually work for the skills acquired in life. And yes I said 'acquired', earned through hard work and dedication.
Music is essentially the same as language, a way of conveying thoughts and feelings, and communicate. Mozart started out by simply imitating the notes his father played on the piano, and from there he developed a passion for music, quickly surpassing his father. He learned how music can be used to communicate, things like chords and such. No musician was simply talented enough to create emotional pieces out of nothing, he learned to express himself through music with hard work and understanding.
I remember hearing this music only twice in the series the first time was at the beginning of Episode 1 when Noriko was thinking about her father stating he was killed during an encounter with the Space Aliens even though she initially believed he was still alive and the last time was at the end of episode 6 right after the Black Hole Bomb exploded and right upto where it said '12,000 years Later' and the wrecked form of the Gunbuster came into view.
to make sure for non-japanese ppl, the pianist in this video is not Kohei Tanaka himself but a person known as "Pianeet." it is said that his real name is Yui Morishita, who is known as a specialist of Alkan.
This guy is amazing with how he can play all the songs from Gunbuster on the piano though I'm not sure if he played the song from the Battle scene from episode 5 but still he is an amazing piano player.
Nope! It's from an anime called Gunbuster! If you like watching anime, I recommend you give Gunbuster and its sequel, Diebuster, a try. This guy really does it justice with his music. A wonderful performance!
Really wish the camera angle was better, we’re missing out on some rly insane leaps in Morishita’s left hand. Funny how much his love of Alkan comes out in this transcription and just how ridiculous his technique is lol
damm i wish he had a better mic when he did this, would pay to have this in good quality sound. Imagine how epic a bus ride would be whit this in the ears.
i tear up a little when i hear this. the scene is so sad and at the same time a happy one if you can understand that. so much time and loved ones lost on the journey home. But they got home in the end.
After so many years, thanks to Kazumi and Noriko, my family and I still alive, we will all wait for their return....the world had changes, wish peace for Gaza and no more weapons there please .😢
Look at it this way, everyone can progress musically to a certain level. After that level has been reached, talent comes into play and it defines how much further can be progressed. There are people who train hard their entire lives but can never reach a level of another person, who might've trained the same amount or less.
Kohei Tanaka is a famous professional composer in Japan, this is just one of his fan videos. Animenzzz on the other hand, is an amateur (no disrespect) pianist who caters to an English-speaking audience and uses RU-vid as his primary platform.
I'd feel much better knowing that I can't play at such a level because I lack the natural talent (something that's not my fault, being an inherent trait) than because 'I haven't practised enough'. Pursuing dreams is great and all, but it's the hopeful encouragement that makes the failure all the more bitter. And when one doesn't have talent, there's nothing more heartbreaking than practising one's ass off to no avail.
woa. This is like philharmonic, the extreme professional enhance complex version of the song compare to the original one I used to know long time ago. Time sure pass but the vibe and spirit still there whenever you listen to and revisit it.
INCREDIBLE!!! happy new year to you, and i hope that you're able to upload and keep us updated with your activities on your youtube channel :))) all the best ^____^
Personally, I think the sequel sucked. I mean if it were not a sequel, it would have been able to stand on it's own! But as a sequel, it had no real relation to the source material. references sure, but the world didn't make sense and Physics were ignored, and the ships. I mean, it was just another giant robot anime. :( being in the shadow hurt it. they should have just made it it's own thing.
So all you are saying is you need an abnormally adept brain suited to certain talents, this is true, but it's not talent, it's a born trait. How these people gained an ear for music and an abnormally capable brain is by exercising the brain. This man remembered all these notes by playing the song multiple times, of course. But he also has probably lived with piano from an early age and this has boosted his memory, and exercised his brain in general making him more suited for the talent.
Of course you can play the piano, be a race car driver or a mathematician without any talent but you can't be really good without any talent. People like Mozart, Einsten, Schumacher, they all have a natural talent that boosts their skills. Because of talent they learn faster, they learn better and they can apply their skills to any situation more easily. There are things that cannot be taught or learned. Stuff like having an ear to music, being able to express feelings through music.
Just by remembering the notes and training your hands to play them is not enough. You have to convey your feelings in music, this music is not bland, it has crescendos, diminuendos etc. That is not something you can learn. No one can teach you how to play each song and how to convey the feelings of each song. That's something you have to figure out by yourself, it can't be taught or learned. Being able to perform like that is talent.
