This was the only scene in neon genesis Evangelion that made me cry, when Kaji spoke to Shinji as NERV was about to fall. I think such a figh shall never be replicated (except in 2.0)

This is a really good version. 10/10 man

Sincerely i dont get why people say that evangelion ost are bad.....probably are one of the best out there, of ALL FRANCHISES!

1:07 this lick is gold just as whole performance

2:03 この絶望的に暗い感じから爽やかになる感じめっちゃ好き

This powerful soindtrack of NGE is something that prolly cure or worsen my depression. When this plays at that watermelon scene, I can't help bawling my eyes out. Thanatos literally means death in Greek. Very fitting considering how the piece gives this falling to oblivion vibe.

Wow! Just wow! Most people play the second part of the song way too peppy when performing it on piano. This still has that virtuosity but keeps the tone even with the rest the piece making it overall much more whole and complete. Bravo, good sir! Bravo!

Quite clean fingerwork, something most pianists on youtube have none of and play songs like jelly. I very much like what you've done with the second part, I'll be uploading my version probably in a few months. Danke, very much enjoyed it.

It's beatiful, sad, jazzy, and amazing. I'm trying to learn it. Just incredible.

Dude, I don‘t know how to say this, so I just make it short: Thank you!!!

Yes this is a noticeable improvement in sound. Again, excellent transcription, but I think you use too many 8ths. Instead of using so many 8ths, maybe try getting a little more creative with your chords or chord progression to get the emphasis instead of solely relying on doubling up on notes. Not that 8ths are bad, but I feel that too many musicians, especially cover artists, get too comfortable around them because of how easy it is give a little more punch to the sound. I think it limits their creativity and slows their compositional growth. Also, something nobody ever notices about this song is the message. Evangelion is all about contradiction, hence death and rebirth. Another cool example is the opening and ending songs. The opening is about facing reality, and the ending song is "Fly Me to the Moon", a sing about escapism and fantasy. This song is a single-song flagship for that message. The first half depressing and, almost exactly halfway through, flips over to bring inspirational or uplifting. Most covers I see is of people playing it sad and beautiful all the way through, and not cutting loose and having a little bit of fun in the second half like it was originally designed to have. This isn't criticism, just wanted to point point out a missing piece that I think you might find kind of neat. Sorry if it sounds like a negative comment. I think this is the best piano cover on RU-vid for Thanatos. But I also like seeing people improve.

its crazy how crazy and good this is. literally fucied up. i love it man

Absolutely amazing, this song has to one of my favourites, definitely saving this video to one of my playlists

This is a fantastic cover of once of my favorite soundtrack pieces. A few weeks ago I decided to learn this arrangement. Before now, I haven't learned more than a couple very simple arrangements for songs I enjoy, and my keyboard I've never truly learned to play has otherwise been collecting dust for the majority of the years that I've owned it. Playing this seemed like an impossible task when I started, but I've learned the first minute so far by following along with your video. It only gets more complicated from here, but I've greatly enjoyed the process thus far, and I'm stubborn enough to keep at it until I attain the skill to play the rest. Thank you for inspiring me to learn to play a full arrangement of a song my keyboard. After I finish learning this one, I will most likely follow along with some of your other arrangements as well.

i listen to this all the time, this arrangement is just so beautiful. Every little thing added just feels so natural. I don't really practice piano too often but everytime I listen to this, it makes me wish I could play it.

WOW. I have listened t this music/anime since I was 14 years old, I am now 36. Your playing and the excellent visuals really bring to life all of if, especially to one not musically trained such as I am. Excellent work in all respects - thank you!

Day 1 practicing this piece! beautiful! thank you for this upload!!!!

I really like your covers, I think you're quite amazing (even though I don't really know anything about music and just enjoy listening to it)

I absolutely love your arrangements, they capture the feeling of the Evangelion OST perfectly. 10/10

just amazing

really beautiful...i love the back round and music and everything. it's perfect 👌

Congratulations, it was incredible.

Fantastic arrangement and playing, thank you very much for sharing your work !

Sagisu is one of the best composers ever man, definitely up there with Hirasawa.

Ok Bro. I have listened to Thanatos for few times and I learned how to play by ear from the orchestral version, because I have a problem with reading notes, I have no idea why, but the version I made by myself is almost the same as yours. You have a great ear sir. I think we all live in matrix😅

A really great cover! Would love to see more content from you! :)

3:31 best part

Thank you very much for this arrangement! I'm trying to learn it right now. This my first Jazz piece and so far rhythm and chord progression been mind-blowing for me.

Dude, literally I don't have any idea of music composition and that things. But man, heard it really feels nostalgic and kinda hurts. I think that is the point of this song. 10/10

Mad respect

I have been holding it back so long

al fin encontre esa melodia en tutorial Piano .... bien interpretado

Instant thumbs up and subscribe xD Great work!!!

Now it's time, I fear to tell I've been holding it back so long But something strange deep inside of me is happening I feel unlike I've ever felt and it's makin' me scared That I may not be what I think I am What of us, what do I say? Are we both from a different world? 'Cause every breath that I take I breathe it for you I couldn't face my life without you And I'm so afraid There's nothing to comfort us What am I, if I can't be yours I don't sleep, don't feel a thing And my senses have all but gone Can't even cry from the pain Can't shed a tear now I realize we're not the same And it's makin' me sad 'Cause we can't fulfil our dream In this life So I must, let us break free I can never be what you need If there was a way through the hurt Then I would find it I'd take the blows Yes, I would fight it But this is the one Impossible dream to live What am I, if I can't be yours

Late comment, but I really love this. I think it's my favourite Thanatos cover out there.

this really is the best piano cover of this song, i like it 1000000/10 :D

Awesome! :3

Thanks to your beautiful play. I want to play, but for ordinary people like me it is impossible without sheet...Anyway so beautiful!!

Impeccable performance! The only thing missing is the sheet music ;)

Can you do Shinji's theme????... Thank You!!😍😍😍

I haven't played the Piano, and I don't know Piano terminology. But I have to say at 3:59 to 4:03 I was very impressed with your right pinky, your right pinky sounded like a third hand to me.

Man whenever I listen to a song from an anime that I watched a long time ago I get emotional and I don’t know why maybe because the anime was so sad or heartbreaking and maybe that’s why but when it comes to neon genesis evangelion I don’t know what happens I get so sad. Well this was the first anime I ever watched so maybe that’s why I get so emotional.

yeeey

No I'm not crying it's just tears

Good shit r8 8/8 m8

You are incredible. Playing with so much power and emotion What planet do you come from?

Hi I saw that you're allowing for this cover to be used in other people's videos! I still just wanted to comment to let you know that I'll probably be using it in the background of my evangelion video. I'll credit you of course! I'll also probably be using your Come Sweet Death cover too. Thank you!!

congratulations on the 3 thousand subscribers, you're great. greetings from Argentina! PD: Could you do "Crybaby" from the devilman crybaby series on piano?
