10 years. It has been 10 years already since Guilty Crown has aired. And I still fondly remember these good old times. The legendary OP "My Dearest" by supercell, the epic Soundtrack "Bios" from Hiroyuki Sawano, the tragic story of Inori and Shu... to put it in another words: Without Guilty Crown, Animenz would be very different indeed. And to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Guilty Crown, I decided to revisit Bios again - after 9 long years And here we are now: The definite, final chapter of my Guilty Crown piano arrangements. Thank you for listening!
I actually didn't expect you to play in this style, and didn't expect you to play in F# minor scale, but I expect to see you sing this song and don't get jebaited
Bravo music Animenz, I do see the music reflects the Guilty Crown anime, but the changes of some parts are quite confusing anyway... 0:53 Shu met Inori and get the ability 2:17 attended the fight and uses his skill 3:27 Shu was rescued and came into the highest moment 4:33 Government set and crown is worn 5:13 Found the Paid of the ability and Jun was killed, 5:35 Shu want to carry all the 'hates' with him and started to useability so he became alone and lost all his friend 6:44 Shu and Inori dies with beauty
Here's something I always wanted to tell you: my little brother and I were both huge fans of yours since our childhood years. About 6 or 7 years ago, the parent of a classmate of my brother's happened to be your agent at the time. You were kind enough to gift us 2 signed copies of your CD, which I still have with me to this day after having moved twice: once across the ocean to the US, and once across the country. That was an absolutely wonderful gift for the 2 of us and it gave us the motivation to continue practicing the piano even today, and it was never because it was what our parents wanted, but because we had a deep passion for it. All this is to say, thank you so much for being my childhood idol. Heck, I still look up to you today. My biggest regret was how I wasn't able to meet you in person like my brother did since I was traveling. Hope I get to meet you one day!
There were so many amazing moments in this arrangement, but 4:34 takes the cake. Just the clarity in the voices and how beautifully it all comes together is simply breathtaking to me. And at 4:40 when the left hand melody takes the main stage the right hand almost feels like it's echoing off into the distance... then comes back with the same raw emotion that the original singer projected in the very next bar. This was absolutely stunning, a classic for sure.
Bios is such an important piece for me. Your original arrangement still represents a line of irreplaceable staples that mark my entire view on anipiano. The colossal octave jumps are still one of my favourites to this day. It definitely reminds me of La Campanella jumps but even more satisfying. It's always a fun challenge of whether I'll hit them all or not. Excited to see this!
I can't believe it's been 10 years, I remember being a freshman in high school and listening too you playing on repeat for hours. 7 years later and I still tear up when I get to hear you play
Animenz, I just had my first piano jury in school. I bombed my sightreading portion. Being able to hear your new version of Bios is the best thing that could've happened to me right now. Your music is the reason I got myself here in the first place. It feels good to be reminded that there is music that I love that's not necessarily what I'm doing in school. I'm a composition student now and Sawano is probably the most influential composer for me. I love his works. And I love your arrangements of them. In fact, I recently arranged your version of Blumenkranz for a chamber orchestra as one of my finals. Keep up the good work, you truly are amazing.
Thank you so much Animenz, for all of your Guilty Crown arrangements ! They will hold a special place in my heart forever. Guilty Crown and its music still have an impact on me, after all these years. Despite some problems it has, it's great art. Happy 10th anniversary to Guilty Crown !
This version is much more mature than his first cover of bios. The slow part in start really feels like epilogue of a story. After that the fast playing feels like reminiscing of past battle and memories. Then he play slow again, ending the story. Amazing work as always animenz. Thank you for this epilogue of guilty crown.
Yes, the sheet music is out! I have been listening to this almost constantly since the premiere, and I'm loving it more and more with each repeat. Bios has been one of my favorite arrangements of yours of all time, and also one of the first ones I tackled. The key change in this one gives it such a fresh feeling! Like I can experience it all over again. Then, I'm also so glad it's so long!! Almost 8 minutes and yet I still found myself wanting to hear more when the premiere finished haha, but if it were up to me, I'd never have enough. The intro and outros make it feel so grand, and when the original finally hits...chills. And so, so much nostalgia. Can't wait to learn it, I can already tell that this is one of those videos I'll be coming back to a lot for many, many years to come.
I've never watched Guilty Crown so I don't really have a connection with Bios or the other songs, although I do love your interpretations of them. But by God, as soon as you started playing, I got chills all over. That nostalgic chill only Animenz's music can evoke. S-tier human I swear to God.
Guilty Crown is one of the best anime i ever see. Loved the chara design, good story telling, you feel attach with the MCs, and... you have the fucking OST from Sawano, the song from Supercell. A must watch if you are an Anime lover of course.
absolutely stunning. that climax at 4:34 sounded like .... an auditory meteor shower, it was so beautiful and emotional, like a last goodbye. bios delta was my personal favorite version of bios, and it was a treat to see you incorporate it in the beginning. your original bios cover was great, but this version feels so /complete/ - it just illustrates your growth and maturity as an artist. I've been subscribed to you for awhile, animenz, and I believe it was your guilty crown transcriptions that really caught my eye then and inspired me to continue playing the piano. I'm happy you chose to revisit this piece now, ten years later. your link to the official anniversary version of bios with yuki kaji was really special to include in the description, as well as your personal commentary. cheers to you, to guilty crown, and to hiroyuki sawano. 🙏
4:34-4:50 is such an incredible Part. How he Manages to produce mulitple Leading Melodies while simultaneously Playing the "Begleitung" (don't know the english Word, sort of the Background-music?). It's already difficult for many of us to have enough Skill to Make These things with only one Hand and he is doing it with both at the Same time.
I've been watching Animenz since he first started, I can't believe it's been 10 years already. What a journey, keep making these covers, it brightens up my day just listening to them on my playlist!
Recently I had a feeling of abandoning the piano. After listening to this, I broke down. This piece is so beautiful, elegant, powerful and many more. I cannot express it with just words. I am such an imbecile for ever thinking about abandoning the piano. I am so weak-willed recently and this just made me get back up on my feet. I can't thank you enough. I'm a self-taught pianist for 8 years and my progress is slow. Even though I kept practicing I just couldn't improve until I realised I've hit the wall. A giant wall reaching up to the sky, no longer able to continue my journey. But now I will continue to strive even though I've hit the wall. I will break that wall and go further beyond. Animenz inspired me to play the piano 8 years ago, and here I am, 8 years later. I will continuously support you animenz. Merry Christmas ⛄
I just want to take this moment to thank you for your music, Animenz. Your arrangements always gives me comfort, peace, and light whenever i feel lost and my mental health is at its rock bottom. Continue giving us good music, thank you so much!! 💙
What a transcendental arrangement. This song alone has shaped so much of my AniPiano experience as an aspiring musician on RUclips, and to see you evolve the piece like this ... it's just so awesome. The way you tell such a huge story with each section is to me one of my favorite parts about this as well. All the little parts add up (the key change, the 3 - hand technique, and those DYNAMICS). I could write another hour on those dynamics alone, they're so good. This makes me really happy to witness this culmination of hard work/skill and talent (You should call this Piano Orchestra technique haha) Love the way you express your arrangements, thank you for this amazing work 👑
I've been waiting for a remake of your arrangement for this song, you really just outdone yourself this time with the insane amount of details in this arrangement. I think I discovered Guilty Crown thanks to your original My Dearest arrangement.
I'm feeling a mix of nostalgic and excited chills with this one, as a musician and as a GC OST fan, marveling at every little detail that's gone into this re-imagined arrangement of your 2012 ver. I feel like I've just witnessed the 10 years of polishing of a raw musical stone into a truly shining diamond in less than 10 minutes. What I love so much is that it retains the signature rhythmic technicality of the 2012 cover, while adding so many beautiful, nuanced layers towards a much more well-rounded masterpiece. Before we get into the details, I noticed (after looking at the fingering) that this entire arrangement has been shifted up a minor third from the original C/A minor to D#/F# minor. What was the motivation behind this decision? Introduction 0:00 - the opening lines, borrowing the soft nature of Bios' cousin Krone, sets a poignant backdrop upon which the musical layers will gradually get added. It really reflects Animenz' evolution over the years towards slower intros which help set the tone for the piece. Original 2:18 - I love the way you hold the final note of the introduction section as it gradually fades into the background. The smooth and gradual tempo modulations in the transitioning 10 seconds creates the *perfect* tension and release as we ease into the signature opening motif. I also noticed some modifications to the staccato motif, ending on a descending run instead of an ascending run and going back down to the F# on the fourth note instead of the C#. One of my Top 5 Animenz Transitions TM 2:38 - *CHILLS MOMENT #1* this moment hits SO HARD. The build-up is perfectly paced (as just noted) which lends to the most satisfying hit. 2:58 - the removal of the high register arpeggiated ornaments in the opening verse line, which I'm so accustomed to hearing, actually allows the lower register to resonate more which is very nice 3:08 - the arpeggiated ornaments get shifted to this part of the verse, and get extended into a pleasant sparkling pre-chorus at 3:18. I love how high up into the uppermost registers you get on these notes 3:56 - such a masterful control and emphasis of the third hand melody in the heart of the chorus while maintaining the shining arpeggios in the RH 4:35 - *CHILLS MOMENT #2* The upper layers punch so well here while maintaining their individual separation from the other layers. Wonderful. 5:14 - interesting jazzy transition 6:33 - again the high note is held to the very last moment, shining out so brightly over the intense bass notes Outro 6:56 infusing the Animenz jazzy flare into select outro notes, but while still ending on classical style final notes. Such an interesting dichotomy! If I were to pick only one piece of musicality that stands out in this piece, it would be the intentional use of resonance across transitions and within layers. That adds so much to the cover that isn't reflected in just the selection of notes. Blessed to be living in a universe where we continue to get such nuanced and masterful Animenz covers. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!
Yet another legendary 10th year anniversary edition arrangement from Guilty Crown, which is coincidentally celebrating a similar anniversary year to your My Dearest arrangement. I will be waiting for the day I see “Departures (10th anniversary ver.) - Guilty Crown OST [Piano]” in my notifications
One of my favorite music ever... Man this makes me so nostalgic, I've been folowwing you for so long ! You improved so much ! Thanks for this masterpiece :D
“Everything you say and do...it all sparkles so brightly. It's too blinding for me, and I end up closing my eyes. But I can't help aspiring to be like you.” ― Arima Kousei Animenz, I cannot tell you how much you've inspired me not just in piano or even anime Thank You
This arrangement is beautiful. I remember the old arrangement and if I were to pick my favorite part of it, it would hands down be the Q&A with Animenz on how to arrange rap songs LOL. Looking forward to what you have coming for us next!
Hello Animenz! I love your music and it's amazing to see the effort you put into this new Bios re-arrangement. I would like to suggest that, taking advantage of Egoist, the band that came out with Guilty Crown, I think you could do a re-arrangement of one of the band's songs or a medley of the songs of this amazing band, even if they are not necessarily from Guilty Crown. This is because, as you know, Egoist is going to disband in October and it could be an incredible end for this band that offered us incredible songs like the Endings of Psycho-Pass, the opening of Fate:Apocrypha and others.
honestly it makes my heart stutter a little, it really has been 10 years. guilty crown was ahead of its time by so much in its animation quality and the beautiful music
Man the nostalgia and the feels are so good to come back to. Truly worthy of being tagged as the 10th Anniversary version, this was 10 times more heavenly than the first rendition, which was already very epic. Glad to see another soul feel the same love towards the song and the series even after all these years.
Well I think I am going to say that 2:17 - 2:37 is by far the most impressive part of the piece for me. Not any of the 3 hand, but the beginning of the "original." First, the accelerando sounds so epic it's literally like a machine starting up(don't forget him holding the last note from the previous section for the manual reverb, but keeping the staccato of that bass!) Then, after that, he somehow slows down the left hand pattern while continuing to build tension with it by using the pedal and super well placed 16ths in the left hand. I didnt even notice that it was a much slower pattern until a few listens into it. I still don't fully understand how on earth that works. It is somehow the same pattern used much later in the piece as the main left hand pattern yet here it functions as a build up and I'm still completely stunned as to how it's slower yet sounds faster than the part right before.
Every phrase just hits me with that heavy nostalgia. That epic build up always reminds me of the moment as Shu pulls Inori's void using the power of king🔥👑 Since we're going through nostalgia, I wonder if animenz would also make a 10th anniversary ver. of Kuusou mesorogiwi 👀
My goodness, my ears are healing on the spot. This was an absolutely beautiful arrangement, every moment was so beautifully played. I'm so happy that I get to hear this masterpiece
Listening to this made me tear up. There are no words to express how beautiful this song is but even more so how amazing of a job you did arranging this. Just bought the sheet music and have been at the piano a solid 3 hours. Any time I loose motivation to play the piano, listening to one of your covers never fails to reignite my passion and love for the instrument. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Insanely happy you did this song again. This was my favorite song before, but with the new audio quality and new arrangement it's truly amazing. Inspiring
Very rarely it happens that I watch something which just leaves me completely speechless... this is one of those moments. This arrangement is absolutely perfect and your performance is just so full of different emotions... usually I'd hit that replay button in an instand to get a closer look at the arrangement and enjoy it again but this time I just can't bring myself to do it... listening to this was like watching and feeling a whole movie and you don't re-watch a movie right after finishing it. This arrangement just feels so incredibly... _complete_ ... I don't even know how to describe it... I'm just sitting here right now in silence, letting it sink in... so good...
私を信じてください、彼らはそれを高く評価します！ 見終わった後、大喜びでした。 Trust me, they will appreciate it! After watching it, I was overjoyed. Очень даже оценят! Я был в восторге от этого аниме!
Listening to this at 4 AM was a terrible idea. I'm in tears. Guilty Crown and Animenz have been a part of me growing up and hearing this just brought up so many emotions. Thanks for always, Animenz.
10 years of glorious guiltily crown arrangements. This is why Guilty crown's ost will always remain special for me, you masterfully translated the feelings of the songs.
Diese Lieder hauen mich gerade echt um. Ich kenne sie sehr gut und habe sie oft angehört, aber diese Version ist echt ein Wahnsinn. Es löst gerade so viel Emotionen in mir aus. Echt großartig!
I totally agree with what you said. The power of music is so big and can have a special place in your heart, and make you feel incredible things 😭😭😭 Thankyou always ❤️🎼🙏
This arrangement is literally goosebumps (especially when the first buildup was played) from start to finish. You truly are the king of anime piano! Thank you so much for this legendary arrangement, Animenz!!
Guilty Crown's OST is great. Definitely in a different league from the story itself which I've mostly forgotten. I still regularly listen to this track.
Guilty crown is one of the few shows that had a profound effect on me. When I rewatched it again as an adult for the 10 year anniversary, all of the emotions came flooding back to me. I love the whole soundtrack for the show. My favorite is of course My Dearest, but all the songs are great including this one :)
This is so nostalgic... Your original guilty crown arrangements were some of the first ones I ever heard by you and inspired me to get into anime and it's epic music
I still recall being in elementary school and coming across the first Bios piece you played. I have been playing the piano for almost my whole life and it was that very video that actually sparked my passion for playing the piano. I can't thank you enough for being an inspiration and icon to me since then. I'm sure that many other kids, just like me, were forced into taking up piano lessons by their parents and perhaps, were never truly interested in this instrument till they came across your videos. I for one, never really comment on videos but this 10th anniversary piece brought back so many memories and it certainly brought tears to my eyes. Your videos have gotten me through so many exams and study sessions and I'm sure they will continue to do so. I'm in my final year of university now and it has truly been an honor and blessing to have grown up with you (it sounds a lil weird but you get what I mean lol)!! Thank you so so much animenz!!
Didn't know why I shed tears of joy seeing you playing one of my most favorite anime soundtracks of all time, once again. It definitely feels nostalgic indeed, remembering back those peaceful days watching Guilty Crown.
@@Tohlemiach There's many better way to tell how excellence they are, but I don't know so many word to use to describe my feeling with them. This is the best I can do.
Animenz Arranging Breakdown with Yeh (AABY? I need a better name) 0:02 Gorgeous soft intro. I love how both parts are played by one hand at first (flex) and then another hand is added as support. To me, this helps identify each part and the entry of the LH almost feels like an added voice or new part. 0:54 MAN that hit like a full on depresso TRAIN. It went from melancholic to Depression in seconds. I can seriously feel the weight of your emotions, through the screen. Absolutely incredible. 1:23 And just when I thought it couldn't get more powerful. You literally raise the roof and add an extra height of depth. I can picture the top ringing chords as a bell like sound that resonates above the melody. 2:17 as you said in chat "and so... it has awakened" What a magical moment! Especially for those who recognize the song, it's apparent that the buildup leads to regular tempo bios. I find that the F# minor chord that hangs at nearly the highest register mimics the effect of a singer holding their note really well; the left hand that plays both the bass and counter melody sneak in really well as well. (Reminds me of how you arranged Kaibutsu second verse) 2:48 I must admit, I was expecting the jumps spanning up to 2 octaves that were in your original arrangement. But this is definitely a more refined version that features a third accompanying voice. As I compared the original jumps to la campanella like jumps (although in octaves), it would've been more appropriate to compare the original to Chopin, in which case this almost feels like a Godowsky-Chopin etude where the jumps are still there but now in the left hand with added difficulty. (Otherwise lots of Grand Escape final chorus + Crying for rain vibes!) 3:08 In the RH although the pattern is quite common (among your arrangements), it actually reminds me of the one you used in Everlasting Guilty Crown... GC reference in a GC arrangement? GCception?? 3:36 Nothing but pure bliss. Seriously... The F#m choice over the original Aminor (for the chorus) is very interesting here. I find A minor much more sorrowful and this F#m sounds almost slightly hopeful! The downwards glissando to introduce the section feels like such a 2020-2021 Animenz move HAHA. I also thought that it would be impossible to feature a three hand technique in the chorus (while maintaining a constant LH rhythm) but you created the impossible once again. Part 2 later I guess edit: I just realized, I think you played BIOS in this key for a live stream before :ooo
That was great. Been a while since I actually watched the hands in action. Random note, kind of reminds me of an octopus. Now I feel motivated to play again after a few weeks of being busy with work.
I simply dont know how to express what i felt while i was listening to this after so many years, i just had tears in my eyes and were about to cry any second, im so thankful that you gave me a remember me of how beautiful this piece was. ♥
to see how you've grown so so much in not just a channel but as an artist has been so profound for me in so many different ways. sincerely speaking, thank you so much
Listened to this piece so often already wtf. Guilty Crown was my fist anime and is in my top 3 and this piece brings back memories. Thank you for all the emotions in this piece Animenz!
Thank you for sharing this high tech Bios~ I’m surprised and impressed with this arrangement. I have been following Animenz for almost 6 years and only saw his live performance in 2017. But it’s ok. We fans can hear his beautiful music on RUclips. Wow! It’s been 6 years. Time is really fast... Hope there will be 86 -Eighty Six- ED2 Avid and Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song all the songs in the future. I am really looking forward how Animenz will improvise them. Maybe 2022 or 2023 because he is so BusyXD
Well this makes all the beautifully sad memories of this anime flood back. This was a very nice arrangement, I really love how you utilize the whole piano.
I still remember the moment 10 years ago when i was watching this wonderful anime (still one of my three favs) and thought "woah, it'd be amazing if someone made a piano cover of this OST, i'll check on youtube"... And there you were. Every single Guilty Crown cover you've released still gives me goosebumps, i am beyond thankful to you my friend! I hope this won't be the last Guilty Crown cover you make, they are all different and beautiful, they always leave me spechless. I still revisit the cover you made for Euterpe, it is my favorite of all of them even though you say it has lots of mistakes, that song is just beautiful. It'd be nice to hear you play that song again, after a decade of skill improvement!
This is beautiful.. really beautiful.. you have succesfully recreate all the moments in guilty crown 10 years ago, the happy, epic, emotional ones are coming back to me.. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece.. ❤️❤️
I always listen to the original and realised that it's almost 10 years and then you drop this. This piece is what got me into playing in the first place. Thank You Animenz :)
Now I'll just have to wait for Animenz to cover every Sawano Hiroyuki produced anime song. Notable mentions of this year is 86. This was one heck of a nostalgia trip and made me want to re-watch it again for I think the 4th or 5th time now over the years. The OST alone from this series elevated the entire show to another level. If it was just some generic OST I doubt GC would be as a cult favorite as it is today. Thank you for all your hard work, you have done this cover justice, encapsulating the exact same feelings I felt the first time I heard this BGM.
I have to say it's been quite a long time since I've cried this much watching a RUclips video, thank you for your brilliant work, for reminding us how much we've grown since then and yet how this beautiful piece is still engraved in our minds. I've never commented on your videos and it's such a shame but I am taking this opportunity to thank you 🤲
I‘m watching ur videos for a long time now and it‘s still fascinating how u play and improve. I started playing piano a few years ago, and I see u as my rolemodel! Vielen Dank für die vielen Jahre und ich hoffe du bleibst uns noch lang erhalten. Dein Fan Hashiro
βίος is a slightly fancy word for life in Greek, usually referring to the events that make up a specific person's life. I believe that this piece represents that perfectly

10 years.
It has been 10 years already since Guilty Crown has aired. And I still fondly remember these good old times. The legendary OP "My Dearest" by supercell, the epic Soundtrack "Bios" from Hiroyuki Sawano, the tragic story of Inori and Shu... to put it in another words:
Without Guilty Crown, Animenz would be very different indeed.
And to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Guilty Crown, I decided to revisit Bios again - after 9 long years
And here we are now: The definite, final chapter of my Guilty Crown piano arrangements.
Thank you for listening!
I actually didn't expect you to play in this style, and didn't expect you to play in F# minor scale, but I expect to see you sing this song and don't get jebaited
I'm glad to see that Bios got a remake in 2021, and it sounds wonderful!
Too bad this means we wont have a 10 years "Euterpe", my favorite Guilty Crown song, but still very thankful we got what we got! You're amazing!!!
@@fdedaniel I see, that's kinda unfortunate but understandable.
Bravo music Animenz,
I do see the music reflects the Guilty Crown anime, but the changes of some parts are quite confusing anyway...
0:53 Shu met Inori and get the ability
2:17 attended the fight and uses his skill
3:27 Shu was rescued and came into the highest moment
4:33 Government set and crown is worn
5:13 Found the Paid of the ability and Jun was killed,
5:35 Shu want to carry all the 'hates' with him and started to useability so he became alone and lost all his friend
6:44 Shu and Inori dies with beauty
Here's something I always wanted to tell you: my little brother and I were both huge fans of yours since our childhood years. About 6 or 7 years ago, the parent of a classmate of my brother's happened to be your agent at the time. You were kind enough to gift us 2 signed copies of your CD, which I still have with me to this day after having moved twice: once across the ocean to the US, and once across the country. That was an absolutely wonderful gift for the 2 of us and it gave us the motivation to continue practicing the piano even today, and it was never because it was what our parents wanted, but because we had a deep passion for it. All this is to say, thank you so much for being my childhood idol. Heck, I still look up to you today. My biggest regret was how I wasn't able to meet you in person like my brother did since I was traveling. Hope I get to meet you one day!
I can relate my friend...he is my idol since 2016 and such a big part of my life
Wow that’s such a cool story 👍
There were so many amazing moments in this arrangement, but 4:34 takes the cake. Just the clarity in the voices and how beautifully it all comes together is simply breathtaking to me. And at 4:40 when the left hand melody takes the main stage the right hand almost feels like it's echoing off into the distance... then comes back with the same raw emotion that the original singer projected in the very next bar. This was absolutely stunning, a classic for sure.
兄の影響で貴方を知って、これまで沢山の動画を拝見させて頂いていました。
私は澤野弘之さんの音楽がこの上なく好きで、biosも毎日聞いています。
今回この演奏を聞いて、雷に打たれたような感覚になりました。本当に素晴らしいです。
澤野弘之さんらしい、曲調の変化をカッコよく表現されていて、ゾクゾクしました。
Bios is such an important piece for me. Your original arrangement still represents a line of irreplaceable staples that mark my entire view on anipiano. The colossal octave jumps are still one of my favourites to this day. It definitely reminds me of La Campanella jumps but even more satisfying. It's always a fun challenge of whether I'll hit them all or not. Excited to see this!
Excited too
Bios,Euterpe and My dearest are the perfect guilty crown sonata

Same, his Bios arr. has become such a huge influence in my anipiano experience

Seriously i think this is a little bit easier than kawaki wo ameku

Good one
I can't believe it's been 10 years, I remember being a freshman in high school and listening too you playing on repeat for hours. 7 years later and I still tear up when I get to hear you play

@@정연호-v5j Well...not really
Animenz, I just had my first piano jury in school. I bombed my sightreading portion. Being able to hear your new version of Bios is the best thing that could've happened to me right now. Your music is the reason I got myself here in the first place. It feels good to be reminded that there is music that I love that's not necessarily what I'm doing in school. I'm a composition student now and Sawano is probably the most influential composer for me. I love his works. And I love your arrangements of them. In fact, I recently arranged your version of Blumenkranz for a chamber orchestra as one of my finals. Keep up the good work, you truly are amazing.
Good for you 👍
One of my all-time favorite song, thanks for bringing so much elegance on this arrangement, Animenz!!
🤙🏼
So beautiful.
yes ;_;
Oh, didn't expect you to appear here.
i know u from theotown, u have a beautiful arrangement too
Thank you so much Animenz, for all of your Guilty Crown arrangements ! They will hold a special place in my heart forever. Guilty Crown and its music still have an impact on me, after all these years. Despite some problems it has, it's great art. Happy 10th anniversary to Guilty Crown !
This version is much more mature than his first cover of bios. The slow part in start really feels like epilogue of a story. After that the fast playing feels like reminiscing of past battle and memories. Then he play slow again, ending the story. Amazing work as always animenz. Thank you for this epilogue of guilty crown.
Yes, the sheet music is out!
I have been listening to this almost constantly since the premiere, and I'm loving it more and more with each repeat. Bios has been one of my favorite arrangements of yours of all time, and also one of the first ones I tackled. The key change in this one gives it such a fresh feeling! Like I can experience it all over again. Then, I'm also so glad it's so long!! Almost 8 minutes and yet I still found myself wanting to hear more when the premiere finished haha, but if it were up to me, I'd never have enough.
The intro and outros make it feel so grand, and when the original finally hits...chills. And so, so much nostalgia. Can't wait to learn it, I can already tell that this is one of those videos I'll be coming back to a lot for many, many years to come.
Just as I loved the performance from 10 years ago, this one is just another masterpiece. Thank you for such wonderful arrangement and performance.
ただただ最高です。序盤と終盤の静かで悲しげなパート、ダイナミックな「本編」パート、最初から最後まで聴き入ってしまいました。
2012年のアレンジも大きな跳躍がたくさん入った楽譜を弾きこなしていて驚かされましたが、今回のアレンジは右手の装飾音、左手の低音など、2012年のものにも増して洗練されていて、重厚感、美しさ、はかなさが伝わってきました。素敵な演奏を聴かせていただきありがとうございます！
I've never watched Guilty Crown so I don't really have a connection with Bios or the other songs, although I do love your interpretations of them. But by God, as soon as you started playing, I got chills all over. That nostalgic chill only Animenz's music can evoke. S-tier human I swear to God.
you are very correct great sir
Guilty Crown is one of the best anime i ever see. Loved the chara design, good story telling, you feel attach with the MCs, and... you have the fucking OST from Sawano, the song from Supercell. A must watch if you are an Anime lover of course.
The music from Guilty Crown has left an unforgettable impact on me, even after years, I can’t forget it, and I never want to
absolutely stunning. that climax at 4:34 sounded like .... an auditory meteor shower, it was so beautiful and emotional, like a last goodbye. bios delta was my personal favorite version of bios, and it was a treat to see you incorporate it in the beginning. your original bios cover was great, but this version feels so /complete/ - it just illustrates your growth and maturity as an artist. I've been subscribed to you for awhile, animenz, and I believe it was your guilty crown transcriptions that really caught my eye then and inspired me to continue playing the piano. I'm happy you chose to revisit this piece now, ten years later. your link to the official anniversary version of bios with yuki kaji was really special to include in the description, as well as your personal commentary. cheers to you, to guilty crown, and to hiroyuki sawano. 🙏
If you're listening to Animenz for a long time, you can almost feel the emotions he's bringing as clear as crystal-white
Such a beautiful arrangement and performance. Incredible as always!
4:34-4:50 is such an incredible Part. How he Manages to produce mulitple Leading Melodies while simultaneously Playing the "Begleitung" (don't know the english Word, sort of the Background-music?).
It's already difficult for many of us to have enough Skill to Make These things with only one Hand and he is doing it with both at the Same time.
I've been watching Animenz since he first started, I can't believe it's been 10 years already. What a journey, keep making these covers, it brightens up my day just listening to them on my playlist!
You should have 2 billion subscribers. Everyone needs to witness your music. It could change their lives, as it did mine..
4:34 definitely one of the best sections in any animenz arrangement
Recently I had a feeling of abandoning the piano. After listening to this, I broke down. This piece is so beautiful, elegant, powerful and many more. I cannot express it with just words. I am such an imbecile for ever thinking about abandoning the piano. I am so weak-willed recently and this just made me get back up on my feet. I can't thank you enough. I'm a self-taught pianist for 8 years and my progress is slow. Even though I kept practicing I just couldn't improve until I realised I've hit the wall. A giant wall reaching up to the sky, no longer able to continue my journey. But now I will continue to strive even though I've hit the wall. I will break that wall and go further beyond. Animenz inspired me to play the piano 8 years ago, and here I am, 8 years later. I will continuously support you animenz. Merry Christmas ⛄
These are one of the first animes I have ever watched. Man...what an impact that was.
The nostalgia...
I just want to take this moment to thank you for your music, Animenz. Your arrangements always gives me comfort, peace, and light whenever i feel lost and my mental health is at its rock bottom. Continue giving us good music, thank you so much!! 💙
What a transcendental arrangement. This song alone has shaped so much of my AniPiano experience as an aspiring musician on RUclips, and to see you evolve the piece like this ... it's just so awesome.
The way you tell such a huge story with each section is to me one of my favorite parts about this as well. All the little parts add up (the key change, the 3 - hand technique, and those DYNAMICS). I could write another hour on those dynamics alone, they're so good.
This makes me really happy to witness this culmination of hard work/skill and talent (You should call this Piano Orchestra technique haha)
Love the way you express your arrangements, thank you for this amazing work 👑
I've been waiting for a remake of your arrangement for this song, you really just outdone yourself this time with the insane amount of details in this arrangement.
I think I discovered Guilty Crown thanks to your original My Dearest arrangement.
I'm feeling a mix of nostalgic and excited chills with this one, as a musician and as a GC OST fan, marveling at every little detail that's gone into this re-imagined arrangement of your 2012 ver. I feel like I've just witnessed the 10 years of polishing of a raw musical stone into a truly shining diamond in less than 10 minutes. What I love so much is that it retains the signature rhythmic technicality of the 2012 cover, while adding so many beautiful, nuanced layers towards a much more well-rounded masterpiece.
Before we get into the details, I noticed (after looking at the fingering) that this entire arrangement has been shifted up a minor third from the original C/A minor to D#/F# minor. What was the motivation behind this decision?
Introduction
0:00 - the opening lines, borrowing the soft nature of Bios' cousin Krone, sets a poignant backdrop upon which the musical layers will gradually get added. It really reflects Animenz' evolution over the years towards slower intros which help set the tone for the piece.
Original
2:18 - I love the way you hold the final note of the introduction section as it gradually fades into the background. The smooth and gradual tempo modulations in the transitioning 10 seconds creates the *perfect* tension and release as we ease into the signature opening motif. I also noticed some modifications to the staccato motif, ending on a descending run instead of an ascending run and going back down to the F# on the fourth note instead of the C#. One of my Top 5 Animenz Transitions TM
2:38 - *CHILLS MOMENT #1* this moment hits SO HARD. The build-up is perfectly paced (as just noted) which lends to the most satisfying hit.
2:58 - the removal of the high register arpeggiated ornaments in the opening verse line, which I'm so accustomed to hearing, actually allows the lower register to resonate more which is very nice
3:08 - the arpeggiated ornaments get shifted to this part of the verse, and get extended into a pleasant sparkling pre-chorus at 3:18. I love how high up into the uppermost registers you get on these notes
3:56 - such a masterful control and emphasis of the third hand melody in the heart of the chorus while maintaining the shining arpeggios in the RH
4:35 - *CHILLS MOMENT #2* The upper layers punch so well here while maintaining their individual separation from the other layers. Wonderful.
5:14 - interesting jazzy transition
6:33 - again the high note is held to the very last moment, shining out so brightly over the intense bass notes
Outro
6:56 infusing the Animenz jazzy flare into select outro notes, but while still ending on classical style final notes. Such an interesting dichotomy!
If I were to pick only one piece of musicality that stands out in this piece, it would be the intentional use of resonance across transitions and within layers. That adds so much to the cover that isn't reflected in just the selection of notes.
Blessed to be living in a universe where we continue to get such nuanced and masterful Animenz covers. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!
Looks like i spent so long writing my essay that the key signature decision got addressed in the description box hahaha
Yet another legendary 10th year anniversary edition arrangement from Guilty Crown, which is coincidentally celebrating a similar anniversary year to your My Dearest arrangement. I will be waiting for the day I see “Departures (10th anniversary ver.) - Guilty Crown OST [Piano]” in my notifications
One of my favorite music ever... Man this makes me so nostalgic, I've been folowwing you for so long ! You improved so much ! Thanks for this masterpiece :D
“Everything you say and do...it all sparkles so brightly. It's too blinding for me, and I end up closing my eyes. But I can't help aspiring to be like you.”
― Arima Kousei
Animenz, I cannot tell you how much you've inspired me not just in piano or even anime
Thank You
This arrangement is beautiful. I remember the old arrangement and if I were to pick my favorite part of it, it would hands down be the Q&A with Animenz on how to arrange rap songs LOL. Looking forward to what you have coming for us next!
This is AMAZING! Truly majestic! I can't express how much this has made my day. I'm gonna keep listening to it 🥰!
Hello Animenz!
I love your music and it's amazing to see the effort you put into this new Bios re-arrangement.
I would like to suggest that, taking advantage of Egoist, the band that came out with Guilty Crown, I think you could do a re-arrangement of one of the band's songs or a medley of the songs of this amazing band, even if they are not necessarily from Guilty Crown.
This is because, as you know, Egoist is going to disband in October and it could be an incredible end for this band that offered us incredible songs like the Endings of Psycho-Pass, the opening of Fate:Apocrypha and others.
honestly it makes my heart stutter a little, it really has been 10 years. guilty crown was ahead of its time by so much in its animation quality and the beautiful music
this is insane... never get tired of watching and listening
Man the nostalgia and the feels are so good to come back to. Truly worthy of being tagged as the 10th Anniversary version, this was 10 times more heavenly than the first rendition, which was already very epic. Glad to see another soul feel the same love towards the song and the series even after all these years.
Well I think I am going to say that 2:17 - 2:37 is by far the most impressive part of the piece for me. Not any of the 3 hand, but the beginning of the "original."
First, the accelerando sounds so epic it's literally like a machine starting up(don't forget him holding the last note from the previous section for the manual reverb, but keeping the staccato of that bass!)
Then, after that, he somehow slows down the left hand pattern while continuing to build tension with it by using the pedal and super well placed 16ths in the left hand. I didnt even notice that it was a much slower pattern until a few listens into it. I still don't fully understand how on earth that works. It is somehow the same pattern used much later in the piece as the main left hand pattern yet here it functions as a build up and I'm still completely stunned as to how it's slower yet sounds faster than the part right before.
Every phrase just hits me with that heavy nostalgia. That epic build up always reminds me of the moment as Shu pulls Inori's void using the power of king🔥👑
Since we're going through nostalgia, I wonder if animenz would also make a 10th anniversary ver. of Kuusou mesorogiwi 👀
My goodness, my ears are healing on the spot. This was an absolutely beautiful arrangement, every moment was so beautifully played. I'm so happy that I get to hear this masterpiece
Listening to this made me tear up. There are no words to express how beautiful this song is but even more so how amazing of a job you did arranging this.
Just bought the sheet music and have been at the piano a solid 3 hours. Any time I loose motivation to play the piano, listening to one of your covers never fails to reignite my passion and love for the instrument.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Insanely happy you did this song again. This was my favorite song before, but with the new audio quality and new arrangement it's truly amazing. Inspiring
I can proudly say im addicted to his music.
Very rarely it happens that I watch something which just leaves me completely speechless... this is one of those moments.
This arrangement is absolutely perfect and your performance is just so full of different emotions... usually I'd hit that replay button in an instand to get a closer look at the arrangement and enjoy it again but this time I just can't bring myself to do it... listening to this was like watching and feeling a whole movie and you don't re-watch a movie right after finishing it.
This arrangement just feels so incredibly... _complete_ ... I don't even know how to describe it...
I'm just sitting here right now in silence, letting it sink in... so good...
なっ…!!
嬉しすぎる!!ありがとうございます!!😁😁
いつ聞いても泣ける曲ですよね😭
このアニメが外国の人にも評価されてるの
嬉しすぎる!!
私を信じてください、彼らはそれを高く評価します！
見終わった後、大喜びでした。
Trust me, they will appreciate it!
After watching it, I was overjoyed.
Очень даже оценят! Я был в восторге от этого аниме!
4:34 I'm speechless.
i swear Animenz's arrangements are always better than the actual opening and anime
I was so young back then and couldn't finish this anime, when things started to go downhill. Still one of my favorite up to now. Thank you Animenz!
...10 years, for the love of...it's another one of those days I realize just how old I became.
Listening to this at 4 AM was a terrible idea. I'm in tears. Guilty Crown and Animenz have been a part of me growing up and hearing this just brought up so many emotions. Thanks for always, Animenz.
10 years of glorious guiltily crown arrangements. This is why Guilty crown's ost will always remain special for me, you masterfully translated the feelings of the songs.
How tf has this video only this few views? It should at least have a million. Anyway, stunning performance, it was a pleasure to watch.
世界一リピートしてる自信があるくらい聴いてる
Diese Lieder hauen mich gerade echt um. Ich kenne sie sehr gut und habe sie oft angehört, aber diese Version ist echt ein Wahnsinn. Es löst gerade so viel Emotionen in mir aus. Echt großartig!
I totally agree with what you said. The power of music is so big and can have a special place in your heart, and make you feel incredible things 😭😭😭
Thankyou always ❤️🎼🙏
This arrangement is literally goosebumps (especially when the first buildup was played) from start to finish. You truly are the king of anime piano! Thank you so much for this legendary arrangement, Animenz!!
Animenz never stopped pushing his own limit. It's just touching to see how he has grown in these 10 years :')
Guilty Crown's OST is great. Definitely in a different league from the story itself which I've mostly forgotten. I still regularly listen to this track.
I actually never stop getting chills from his arrangements.
Guilty crown is one of the few shows that had a profound effect on me. When I rewatched it again as an adult for the 10 year anniversary, all of the emotions came flooding back to me. I love the whole soundtrack for the show. My favorite is of course My Dearest, but all the songs are great including this one :)
This is so nostalgic... Your original guilty crown arrangements were some of the first ones I ever heard by you and inspired me to get into anime and it's epic music
I still recall being in elementary school and coming across the first Bios piece you played. I have been playing the piano for almost my whole life and it was that very video that actually sparked my passion for playing the piano. I can't thank you enough for being an inspiration and icon to me since then. I'm sure that many other kids, just like me, were forced into taking up piano lessons by their parents and perhaps, were never truly interested in this instrument till they came across your videos. I for one, never really comment on videos but this 10th anniversary piece brought back so many memories and it certainly brought tears to my eyes. Your videos have gotten me through so many exams and study sessions and I'm sure they will continue to do so. I'm in my final year of university now and it has truly been an honor and blessing to have grown up with you (it sounds a lil weird but you get what I mean lol)!! Thank you so so much animenz!!
super nostalgic listening to this. as someone who also remembers watching GC 10 yrs ago, truly enjoyed listening to this. Thank you Animenz :)
Didn't know why I shed tears of joy seeing you playing one of my most favorite anime soundtracks of all time, once again. It definitely feels nostalgic indeed, remembering back those peaceful days watching Guilty Crown.
BIOS , like first without even listening! Goosebumps already started
Did you know? What Guilty crown songs and Animenz's music have the same.
Both of them were engrave in our soul for 10 years.
While that’s a great sentiment that I agree with, that might be the dumbest way of putting it I’ve ever seen.
@@Tohlemiach There's many better way to tell how excellence they are, but I don't know so many word to use to describe my feeling with them. This is the best I can do.
BIOS is my all time favorite OST. Hearing a new version on RUclips ABSOLUTELY made my day. (My alarm just went off and guess what. It’s BIOS too)
Animenz Arranging Breakdown with Yeh (AABY? I need a better name)
0:02 Gorgeous soft intro. I love how both parts are played by one hand at first (flex) and then another hand is added as support. To me, this helps identify each part and the entry of the LH almost feels like an added voice or new part.
0:54 MAN that hit like a full on depresso TRAIN. It went from melancholic to Depression in seconds. I can seriously feel the weight of your emotions, through the screen. Absolutely incredible.
1:23 And just when I thought it couldn't get more powerful. You literally raise the roof and add an extra height of depth. I can picture the top ringing chords as a bell like sound that resonates above the melody.
2:17 as you said in chat "and so... it has awakened" What a magical moment! Especially for those who recognize the song, it's apparent that the buildup leads to regular tempo bios. I find that the F# minor chord that hangs at nearly the highest register mimics the effect of a singer holding their note really well; the left hand that plays both the bass and counter melody sneak in really well as well. (Reminds me of how you arranged Kaibutsu second verse)
2:48 I must admit, I was expecting the jumps spanning up to 2 octaves that were in your original arrangement. But this is definitely a more refined version that features a third accompanying voice. As I compared the original jumps to la campanella like jumps (although in octaves), it would've been more appropriate to compare the original to Chopin, in which case this almost feels like a Godowsky-Chopin etude where the jumps are still there but now in the left hand with added difficulty. (Otherwise lots of Grand Escape final chorus + Crying for rain vibes!)
3:08 In the RH although the pattern is quite common (among your arrangements), it actually reminds me of the one you used in Everlasting Guilty Crown... GC reference in a GC arrangement? GCception??
3:36 Nothing but pure bliss. Seriously... The F#m choice over the original Aminor (for the chorus) is very interesting here. I find A minor much more sorrowful and this F#m sounds almost slightly hopeful! The downwards glissando to introduce the section feels like such a 2020-2021 Animenz move HAHA. I also thought that it would be impossible to feature a three hand technique in the chorus (while maintaining a constant LH rhythm) but you created the impossible once again.
Part 2 later I guess
edit: I just realized, I think you played BIOS in this key for a live stream before :ooo
Lmao eagerly awaiting Part 2 analysis! Post it ASAP, Yeh!! GIVE THE FANS WHAT WE WANT!!!!
Yeh uwu
I guess I can take a break this week ,haha
The one sung by Kaji Yūki is in this key iirc
@@untaterbang right! I knew i've heard it in this key before...
피아노 치는 스킬도 스킬이지만 저걸 전부 외워서 친다는 게 와…
길티크라운 팬으로써 첨부터 끝까지 ㄹㅇ입벌리고 봤다.
That was great. Been a while since I actually watched the hands in action. Random note, kind of reminds me of an octopus. Now I feel motivated to play again after a few weeks of being busy with work.
I simply dont know how to express what i felt while i was listening to this after so many years, i just had tears in my eyes and were about to cry any second, im so thankful that you gave me a remember me of how beautiful this piece was. ♥
to see how you've grown so so much in not just a channel but as an artist has been so profound for me in so many different ways. sincerely speaking, thank you so much
Amazing work! Fans and critics may have differences on the show but we can all agree the OST is one of the best
Listened to this piece so often already wtf. Guilty Crown was my fist anime and is in my top 3 and this piece brings back memories. Thank you for all the emotions in this piece Animenz!
Thank you for sharing this high tech Bios~
I’m surprised and impressed with this arrangement.
I have been following Animenz for almost 6 years and only saw his live performance in 2017. But it’s ok. We fans can hear his beautiful music on RUclips.
Wow! It’s been 6 years. Time is really fast...
Hope there will be 86 -Eighty Six- ED2 Avid and
Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song all the songs in the future. I am really looking forward how Animenz will improvise them.
Maybe 2022 or 2023 because he is so BusyXD
Well this makes all the beautifully sad memories of this anime flood back. This was a very nice arrangement, I really love how you utilize the whole piano.
I still remember the moment 10 years ago when i was watching this wonderful anime (still one of my three favs) and thought "woah, it'd be amazing if someone made a piano cover of this OST, i'll check on youtube"... And there you were. Every single Guilty Crown cover you've released still gives me goosebumps, i am beyond thankful to you my friend! I hope this won't be the last Guilty Crown cover you make, they are all different and beautiful, they always leave me spechless. I still revisit the cover you made for Euterpe, it is my favorite of all of them even though you say it has lots of mistakes, that song is just beautiful. It'd be nice to hear you play that song again, after a decade of skill improvement!
5:29 nice save in the right hand animenz lmao
Your song 10 years ago was the first I had heard played by you, and I'm excited to hear every one of your songs that you play for us.
This is beautiful.. really beautiful.. you have succesfully recreate all the moments in guilty crown 10 years ago, the happy, epic, emotional ones are coming back to me..
Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece.. ❤️❤️
I always listen to the original and realised that it's almost 10 years and then you drop this. This piece is what got me into playing in the first place. Thank You Animenz :)
A next level of piano if you ask me ;)
I was reading the Animenz Explains and was surprised. My man Animenz can SINGGGGG!!!!
Now I'll just have to wait for Animenz to cover every Sawano Hiroyuki produced anime song. Notable mentions of this year is 86.
This was one heck of a nostalgia trip and made me want to re-watch it again for I think the 4th or 5th time now over the years. The OST alone from this series elevated the entire show to another level. If it was just some generic OST I doubt GC would be as a cult favorite as it is today.
Thank you for all your hard work, you have done this cover justice, encapsulating the exact same feelings I felt the first time I heard this BGM.
I'm amazed how fast he can play the piano.
I have to say it's been quite a long time since I've cried this much watching a RUclips video, thank you for your brilliant work, for reminding us how much we've grown since then and yet how this beautiful piece is still engraved in our minds. I've never commented on your videos and it's such a shame but I am taking this opportunity to thank you 🤲
One of the best ost of guilty crown performed by one of the best pianist of all time what could bring me more joy than that ?? Thanks again Animenz ^^
"Because that's the power of music."
I can feel those words so much.
Once you get touched by music, you cannot go back 🫂
Im 30 YO started learning how to play the Pianio for 2 weeks now. Can't wait when im 35 to play this :D
This song really is a masterpiece! Thank you Animenz it really put me in extreme mood like my blood rises as i jump towards the battlefield
This is absolutely amazing!
I love that you respect Guilty crown so much, it’s an unappreciated and misinterpreted story
I‘m watching ur videos for a long time now and it‘s still fascinating how u play and improve. I started playing piano a few years ago, and I see u as my rolemodel! Vielen Dank für die vielen Jahre und ich hoffe du bleibst uns noch lang erhalten.
Dein Fan

βίος is a slightly fancy word for life in Greek, usually referring to the events that make up a specific person's life. I believe that this piece represents that perfectly
This is what got me into animenz 10 years ago lmfao love it
Damn, it feels like it was only yesterday when I discovered this channel those many years ago. This is so nostalgic and so very beautiful!
Omg Animenz now so different! no more speedy thing, but it hits even deeper! Love the buildups in of the intro!
