It's hard to believe that Fate/zero has aired almost 8 years ago in 2012 and both「oath sign」 and 「to the beginning」 has become true Anime song classics in the last decade. I am still sad that Kalafina has disbanded for good in 2019 because I really enjoyed listening to their music with the three separate voices and with the "typical" Yuki Kajiura sound.
「to the beginning」is another Anime song where the second chorus is being skipped and instead the bridge part is playing. I also have to applaud to Yuki Kajiura for managing to do the almost impossible: despite the huge amount of key changes throughout the song, the piece still sounds very natural from start to finish. That's because all key changes are well prepared with a fitting chord progression.
Here is a rough outline how often the piece is changing its keys.
Eb minor (intro) → C minor (instrumental) → A minor (verse 1)
→ F# minor (chorus 1) → E minor (instrumental) → A minor (verse 2)
→ F# minor (bridge 1) → A minor (bridge 2)
→ F# minor (chorus 2) → Eb minor (outro)
My favorite part of the entire song is actually the bridge part, starting at 02:20 the three voices are becoming intertwined and each of them are taking turns to sing the main melody. I decided to add a right hand movement inspired by a Rachmaninoff prelude to create a stormy, yet mysterious atmosphere, while the left hand is playing the main melody.
Not much to say about the rest of the song, since it's following exactly the same structure as the original song. But I have to say, both the first chorus in 1:01 and the second chorus in 3:23 was very satisfying to play because the bass is very powerful in this section and I could go all out with the dynamics.
Alright, that's it for this weeks upload. Next week I am going to arrange another song by LiSA. It has also been requested many times in the comment section. See you next time!

Kalafinaが2019年に解散してしまって未だに悲しいです。彼女たちの曲は伝説になりました。「Oblivious」、「Lacrimosa」、「manten」、「Hikari no Senritsu」他にもたくさん。曲たちはこれからも心の中で特別に残っていきます。
Still sad that Kalafina has disbanded in 2019. Their songs were legendary: 「Oblivious」, 「Lacrimosa」,「manten」,「hikari no senritsu」 and many more. Their songs will always have a special place in my heart
SAME 😭😭😭 They will forever be my favorite band... 😭😭
Thx for ur weekly upload!! Just take note in ur description u might want to edit this part. " starting at 02:20: the three voices are becoming intertwined" u add one extra : to the timing.
My favourite bamd for far
My favorite is This song, Hikari no Senritsu, My Long Forgotten...
How about the sheet page Animenz san
Can u do manten pls
It's very unfortunate that Kalafina disbanded, but at least this cover will hopefully pay them homage by capturing their unique style.
"I really love the polyphony of the three voices in this piece." - We're gonna see your 4-hand technique.
Enriched with multi-layers mmmmm
Fateっていいよねー
JUST END UP PLAYING A WHOLE ORCHESTRA ON A PIANO
*6 months latter* Well, shit. The madlad actually did it.
Best Fate OP followed by Brave Shine in my opinion. To The Beginning carries that fantastic gravitas that is Fate/Zero
same!
Same
I feel like these types of songs are kind of unfair to you as an arranger because of how well they're composed already - leave it to Yuki Kajiura to pull off those heavenly keychanges! They kind of take the spotlight. Though, that part starting from 2:20 sounds absolutely incredible, the moment the left hand starts the melody is one of those that makes you stop and go, wow, this is insanely beautiful, and then went and added to it and made it even better - I'm running out of synonyms to say it's beautiful but yeah
As a HUGE Yuki Kajiura fangirl I will definitely be looping this one a lot, thank you for these weekly covers, Animenz! They really make me look forward to the end of the week!!
Yeah, I was surprised how smooth the key changes were. I was like "looks like I don't need to add anything here, this is perfect as it is" the whole time. Normally I would come up with an original chord progression to prepare the key change (for example as I did in HERE, Mahoutsukai no Yome OP). See you next week again!
Same as this game no game no life op. It has very good change of key that I dint even notice it changed
Kalafina's majestic sound translates quite well to your arranging style. The unique voicings definitely give it a certain "medieval and magical" flavor.
At first listen, something about this piece blurred the musical section boundaries (in retrospect, most likely the seamless execution of multiple key changes) and made the verses and choruses all flow together in a seemingly continuous melody. I kept searching for a musical grounding point, but it kept resetting. Interesting how I was able to get "lost" in a piece like that.
My favorite part of this arrangement is the 2:22 multiple hand melody. The bold cyclic upper register RH resonates really strongly, yet the lower LH melody is still able to pierce through and meld together quite smoothly.
Yet again, the way the bass is executed on the I - vii 7th diminished - III progression at 1:13 and 2:32 really made me feel a certain type of way, the same way that it did in your Tamashii no Refrain cover 3 months ago. Chills.
Lastly, that ending chord really has an interesting flavor to it. Makes it feel hopeful, yet with a tinge of uncertainty.
Thank you again for sharing! See you next week in the comments!
Haha, looks like you really enjoy 7th diminished chords (same as me btw). They always have a certain feeling of "uncertainty" and you really want to know how the chord is going to conclude. The last chord is a Eb major 9/13 chord btw (´・ω・`)
@@Animenzzz yes! the feeling of tension and release invoked by diminished /crunchy feeling chords is always the most satisfying.
I think the 13th on the final chord really gives it that extra unique color.
So uh, since y’all r pianists, could one of u guys pls tell me how to grow 4 arms to play this?
@@rice5802 practice
@@rice5802 As Sadi said, it's practice, but more than that, its CONSISTENT practice. I've been playing piano for something close to ten years at this point, but I'm still at a beginner level because I kept playing on and off. If you want to get to this level you have to be committed to it. It definitely possible but it takes a lot of dedication.
The timing of this cover release and the Fate/Zero event re-run in F/GO... What a coincidence.
is he playing fgo? would be nice
2020 has been a rough year...but to be able to have so many anime pianists settle down and show us their masterpiece every week is a silver lining.
Agree!! 👏👏👏
Okay, I'm not gonna lie, this is the piece I'm most exited about since you started uploading on a weekly basis. I love kalafinas unique polyphony in their songs.
Imma pretend I know what that means and agree.
I'm guessing it's the low voice and high voice combined but idrk
@@alphaq4490 : Yep, you're (almost) right. While in a lot of groups the singers are either singing separate parts or "just" in octaves, kalafinas songs often feature tritones, minor/major thirds and fifths which really give these songs a very unique sound, one that I haven't heard anywhere else apart from maybe barbershop-quartets (yes, seriously :D). That's also helped by the fact, that the three singers have very different vocal ranges and tonality.
It's so sad they disbanded tho :(
Edit:
The three girls now pursuing their own solo career, that's good I guess :)
*excited
It would be so nice to have your covers on spotify
OH GOD I LITERALLY ALMOST GOT A HEART ATTACK. how could you do this to me Animenz 😭 I'm forever grateful for any cover that you made and always tell myself to not get greedy. But to the beginning cover is about to arrive and I'm crying over hereeee. 08.00 PM feels so long all of a sudden
Love the last line "Kimi no nageki wo shinjiteiru" [I believe in your sorrow]
Really feels like Iri saying this to kiritsugu
OMG I love this so so much.
It's too bad that Kalafina has disbanded. They were legendary on their own.
zeroの殺伐とした世界が好き。後半の絶望が見え隠れした状況と必死に希望を求める切嗣をto the beginningが引き立たせてる。いつかkalifana復活しないかな…

I was lucky to go to one Kalafina concert, their songs are emotional, powerful and epic. Thank you for this arrangement! 👏👏👏
finally, been waiting for this for years
Really? This is the most impressive song when I first started watching anime. Can't imagine how their talent for creating that intro 🤯
And the first Openning I never missed when watching Fate/Zero
Animenz's arrangements have literally moved mountains of my emotions. But this one... This one fills me with dreams of being able to be summoned by Animenz to protect those godly blessed fingers XD Amazing as always Animenz!
You’re a legend, thank you so much for all your investment. So glad to see you upload weekly and even more happy to see all these masterpiece played by you.
I’m very lazy nowadays when it comes to practice. A super casual and meh pianist. But every time I listen to Animenz, there’s just an uncontrollable urge to play. Animenz in that sense, is my hero.
This is one of the most memorable songs I've ever heard. The key changes aside, the ad-libs are really nice as well, and I'm really happy that you included it in this arrangement too! :D
最近Animenz好きな曲ばっか弾いてくれるから大好き
Keiko's part in this song will always be the reason she was my favorite member, GREAT JOB ON NAILING HER SHINING PARTS
What a coincidence, i started watching this show yesterday. 10/10 so far, absolutely amazing animation and music
Rich harmony during chorus with usage of chord extension, double voicing in middle register, classic 3 hand techniques with great sounding and visually stunning RH snipe. This is just pure fanservice at this point lol
Thanks for the weekly dose of Animenz "recipe" bro :3
Animenz never disappoints. (｀・ω・´)ｂ
This is my favorite song of Kalafina truely thankyou for recreating this masterpiece Animenz
I love this piece, Thanks for your great effort and wonderful arrangement!!!
I'm so excited, this is my favorite Kalafina song!
こんなにも調が変化する曲だったんですね
そんな曲を作り出した作曲者と素晴らしいアレンジを生み出したanimenzさんに拍手！
The key changes in this piece is everything 🤧👏👏👏 very good arrangement
Need i say much? This man just made a perfect cover of one of my favorite OPs
You don't know how long I have waited for you to play this song. Needless to say, it's another masterpiece.
You have covered so many of my favorite songs, and for that I thank you!
Animenz notifications are one of the very few reasons I still use RUclips
« Live player... See all of this to the end... And when it is done, speak of it... Of your king... Of the charge of Animenz ! »
That time when the most favourite opening song of my favourite anime which was produced by my favourite studio and storywriter is covered by my favourite pianist... Animenz, you are my hero
These weekly uploads always give me something to look forward to every weekend. I am praying nexts weeks upload is ADAMAS. That’s my favorite song by LiSa. But every LiSa song you’ve covered so far has been god-tier so whatever it is it will be amazing
Very nice arrangement! I was quite surprised by the bits of polyphony present in a modern song like this one, and your 2:20 does elevate that!
I've been waiting for this a long time
Just appreciating the playing and the elegance of the outfit.
Very nice!
Legendary song to compliment a legendary anime. Good job on this arrangement👍
This literally made my day I love this song so much
Yesssssss AnimenzXFate series always brings amazing music 😍
This is just so beautiful...
Beautiful as always ♥️
I love how animenz always adds in an anecdote in the description
Literally perfect timing for this song. The Fate/Zero event is happening again on F/GO in a couple days
I wish to hit the like button a million times. I love your playing animenz.
I love seeing the peeks of his bobbing head to the music 😂 that proves that he really enjoys playing the piano😎
My favorite song, played by the Piano God him-self... Thank You Animenz.
I haven't seen one of your videos in a while and this was just so fucking GOOD. God, you are absolutely INCREDIBLE. You made my entire day
Woooo!!! Waiting for this!!!
Hope animenz will cover [C] The money of soul and possibility control : Matryoshka
Absolutely beautiful cover
Damn you can really tell this is a Yuki Kajiura composition with your arrangement. I haven't watched Fate Zero so I thought it was an SAO piece for a moment aha. Thank you for all these uploads. It's really been wonderful having all of this beautiful music.
Never skipped this op and never will
Yuki kajiura is a genius and the singers are perfect 😍❤ my favorite song is gloria ! So beautiful 😍😍
Purely beautiful
Another legendary piece
Im so happy, best op in fate zero and one of the best in all of fate
I will definitely practice this version~!!!!!. Animenz is the best musician.
Amazing as always
Then since you can't anymore, I'll become a hero instead.
Ah, I see. That's comforting.
Then shirou proceeds to become a cynical mass murderer because there's no such thing as world peace in a world of clashing ideals
@@Manima108 I think the idea was as you grow up you can't be a hero anymore. So it makes sense
@@hinotama4412 Yep. As a child, you think everyone can get along. But they can't. It's as simple as that
AHHHHHH I CANT WAIT I LOVE FATE/ZERO.
My favorite Fate opening........very exited to hear it.
Those instrument is so beautiful and sounds just like it came straight out of the anime itself.
Bringing back the amazing music that Fate has
Omg it was incredibly good. I really love you arrengements 💖💖💖💖😄
Ahh my weekly dose of bliss❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful work senpai! I strive to play and arrange like you someday, keep up the good work~
around 3 years ago I commented on one of your videos requesting the ED from Luna Haruna (before I knew your FAQs).
still totally acceptable, thank you.
The best of Fate series songs👍👍👍👍
When a legend covers a legend!!!!
As soon as I finish learning his arrangement of Sincerely (Violet Evergarden), I am instantly learning this! Incredible!
Powerful arrangement, as Animenz should be
Wow Amazing , I love This Song
This was incredible.
I never watched this anime, but because of your beautiful cover and melody of this song, I want to :)
I really loved Fate/Zero's music. Manten being my favorite of them and also being the reason for me getting know Kalafina. I'm sad to hear that they disbanded now.
Man, I envy your level of dynamic control.
How nostalgic... I loved💙
The legend is born again💜💜I so much love you covers. Hi, from Russia🇷🇺
Thank you Animenz, this was a real treat considering I just completed Fate Zero. I’m currently watching Unlimited Blade Works and it’s only getting better.
The bad thing about Animenz is that he makes every song sound so good, you have no idea which one to focus on.
この2つめっっちゃすき
Such complexities look almost effortless for you 😳
Amazing .To The Beginning is born for Emiya Kiritsugu A man of tragedy.
I hope the weekly uploads don't end
This OP is awesome and one of my favorite anime music! Keep it going! BTW, Fate Zero ED 1 is also awesome would be great to have a piano version one day!
This is so great!
Great!!! Insane cover
Didn't even realize that you were premiering this. Wow.
この曲は最高やで
BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭
I wonder if the next song is This illusion by LiSA.
Anyway, another powerful song composed by Kajiura-sensei. Good job on this one. RIP kalafina
Love this!
This guy has to be the biggest legend out there making us weebs feel so motivated
From Argentina! Good morning! It's a nice song! I like you playing piano!! Thank you!
IDK if u were responding to my request for this but thanks so much!!! This is hype!
