@draco4569 I was working on that one for a few days to make it part of a FFVII/KH concery but had to cut it because I realized I had too much music lol. I actually thought it wasn't that hard... I was nearly at tempo after just a few days of practice... chords and octaves are one of my biggest strengths on piano so that is probably why it was easier for me...
I could listen to nothing but Yoko Shimomura's compositions for the rest of my life and probably be satisfied. You've done her work proud with these! Very lovely renditions! Her work on the Kingdom Hearts soundtracks is probably the most well-known, but what I wouldn't give to see more love for the Legend of Mana soundtrack. Hint hint. Y'know, in case you're bored one day. 😏
Thank you! Yoko Shimomura is one of my favorites too! It's older now but there was this album called "Drammatica -The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura" that I remember having a really great orchestra version of the Legend of Mana main theme on it.
Loved the FF collections for years, finally boight the sheet books, and only learned how KH has collextion too?! And two versions?! Thanks for posting this, apl these years later! 🤘 Hard to find recent stuff
Believe it or not the KH Piano Collections (both of them) hold a very special place in my heart as listening to them pushed me to learn piano + guitar when I was young. Seeing you go through the pieces made me feel quite nostalgic and I believe you'd captured the soul of them extremely well. Keep up the good work 🎉

You should definitely try the Finale: Working Together. That arrangement will challenge you to no end, but it is so fun to play once you master it.

My friend asked me to find them video game piano music, this a very welcomed surprise. Your skills are immaculate and I wish your channel the best!

Thanks awesome to hear! Video game music also led me into learning piano as well.
Thank you for listening!
truely beautiful! never seen anyone but you play VGM piano so well!
Thank you so much!
Now I am playing scherzo e intermezzo because of you)
Very nice production values and playing. Did you rent out a studio or is this your own personal setup?
Everything but the stage and piano are my own equipment. It's all equipment I've slowly gathered over about a decade.
Amazing !
Thank you!
