hey, don’t usually comment but i’ve been following your covers for a while now and i just wanted to say, as a fellow pianist, that i don’t think i’ve ever found covers as accurate and as harmonically faithful to the originals as the ones you arrange and perform. thanks for all the covers, the sheet music, and your performances!
As someone who doesn't play as much as I'd like/ should growing up with the piano, these videos always motivate me to practice and be as good as I can so I can play more beautiful arrangements of the pieces I enjoy such as this
Ichinose-san is GOATed dude. If he actually can PLAY the Approaching Cynthia theme he's like got madman chops too. Maybe not quite Rachmaninoff level but like way up there
I'm not a pianist so idk what to call them, but you hit those plinks plinks so well. Those parts where you almost play 2 notes at once, but you play one just a little earlier
@@AMomentousMori I checked the sheet music, there are grace notes in the piece but I think the "plink plinks" they're talking about are played as a sextuplet so some of the notes occur on an offbeat. Making it sound like there's 2 notes being played out of sync from each other.
this is so beautiful i started crying in my room at 5pm. i'm so so in love!! just subscribed and gonna work through all your pokemon videos while i study
Learned of this from Gutsick Gibbon’s ending theme for her new dog domestication video. She used this for a beautiful speech about the bond between humans and dogs, and I just had to find the original pianist to pay my deepest respects. This is a truly beautiful piece, and you did it SUCH exquisite justice. Thank you. I can’t wait to binge, like, your entire channel.
LOL, I came here from recognizing the Pokémon music that it is and had to pause GG's video just to confirm my hearing was right. This is probably the most beautiful piece featured in a Pokémon Game and it was so incredibly performed here as well!
OMG I have been waiting for this one for so long! I was so happy that you did Azalea town a long time ago, since Azalea town and National Park are my two favotire gold and silver tracks.
The fact that you cover Pokemon songs and also Oasis music is just incredible. Two of my favorite things that seem so unrelated can be found in the same place!
Woah, your arrangement and piano playing is fantastic! I played the Heart Gold version; it is one of my most cherished Pokémon games, and I love this theme. I've always thought National Park was hard to arrange for solo piano since there's a lot going on, but your arrangement is very clean! Actually, this is the cleanest piano arrangement while still being true to National Park. Thank you so much!
Playing the piano is so theraputic for me, and you always post the most beautiful covers from my favorite games that give me an extra push to learn them. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us (and not charging). Amazing as always!
I recently discovered your channel after searching up Rach2 performances. Anyway, I left RUclips playing music in the background while I slept today, and I woke up to this song, and I loved hearing it. I got out of bed because I wanted to know what song it was, and to my surprise it from Pokemon. I never would have guessed either. HG and SS are my favorite Pokemon games.
Absolutely without a doubt the best piece of Pokémon music, performed perfectly. It encapsulates everything that makes Pokémon wonderful - carefree memories of childhood and nostalgia for a more innocent time.
Wow! I literally discovered your channel about an hour ago and I'm stunned. One of the best performances I've seen of this song and it's only been uploaded 8 days ago. Keep up the good work 😀
Great cover! I think sometimes people covering a piece of music can have a tendency to overcook it, so to speak. But I think this treads the line perfectly!
Was looking for some good music to listen to while studying for finals and landed on your channel. This is my favorite Pokémon song and your rendition is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this piece and the sheet music alongside it. Keep up the good work!
Just started learning how to play piano this year and I can only aspire to be half as good as you. This is my first time finding your channel and I'm just blown away at your talent. This piece has me in tears it's so beautiful. Thank you so much for posting this! Instant follow! ❤
I know that getting to your level of control of dynamics would be a difficult and time-consuming task on any instrument, but I'm learning on a keytar with the lightest keys ever installed on any keyboard and I *cannot* even imagine playing with the range you do 😅 Quite a delicate touch you've developed
Insane cover, as always. got me chills. Make me want to play more pokemon song. Just learn to play little root town. gold silver soundtrack si so much nostalgic.
I got reminded of this theme like 5 mins ago and realized i had never heard it on a real life piano so i did a quick search of a cover and damn i cried listening to this. your dynamic contrast and phrasing is phenomenal and even without the strings this cover still gives me the same nostalgic feeling as the original 😭
This will always be my favorite Pokemon ost of all time, since my first ever pokemon game was crystal 😁. Thank you for doing such a wonderful cover as always
OH SHIT THIS WAS JUST RELEASED THATS WHY I HADN'T SEEN IT! My favorite pokemon song, holy smokes this one will be remembered. I will learn the piano and then this song, Im almost done with method book 1 🤣. Very inspiring thank you Lotus!
Love your pokemon covers! Say, I have a question: I notice you use a roland A-88 keyboard controller from your channel’s “about” section… and the VSTs you use are quite beautiful. I don’t think I’ve found another artist with as common of interests in both regards. However, if I were in the market for a digital piano that wasn’t a controller-type, what would you recommend? Do you use any other digital pianos when you’re not making videos? Do you like Roland, or maybe Kawai? Something else I’ve noticed is that your hands seem to effortlessly glide across the keyboard. If that’s because of a lighter key action (something I hear a lot from Kawai models) then I’d be interested in that because my hands are about the same size as yours.
bruh what a hidden gem!!!!!!! from one huge fan of vgm and piano covers, i have to say this is excellent. You are almost doing it perfectly. One thing i do not understand about all covers is that they omit the high pitched part during the B section. You put it in (oh god thank you) but it a much lower register. I want to take your cover and just add that little part. My criticism is only a testament to how much I higly value your transcription!!! and the fact that it is available for free! already started playing on my keyboards UwU
Omg I have just re-read this comment and I had totally forgot about it! Have you tried taking leaps to reach a higher register for this part? I am nowhere near your level of solo-piano arrangement mastery (I mean, my previous detail was not even scratching the surface of everything you did! You were nice enough to like my comment but I do believe you did something better than everyone else, all those ''emulations'' of orchestral sounds. As a student of Charles-Valentin Alkan, I consider all succesfull attempts at reducing multiple instruments to a single amazing) but when i did take that leap while sight-reading the sheet and the effect was really nice But it needs someone with your brain to arrange it. Then, you would have, in my opinion, the first real definitive transcription of National Park. If you look for another similar piece that no one has ever to in a good way on piano, take Astral Observatory. There are three distinct voices that need to played : the harpsichord, the choir and the piano. All three together on a piano....
Gonna take my chances and request Sora wa Miteiruyo from Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card 🙈 I’ve never seen a piano cover done by anyone and yours would be just too godlike👌🏻
Who’s cutting onions
It’s so beautiful 😭😭😭😂
Me 😭😭😭

Plinks like in SFIV? 😂
Legit chuckled at "plinks plinks" lol I think they're called grace notes? I might be wrong, but they should be called "plinks" anyway.

You follow Erika too! She has great vids and I did recognize this song when I watched that particular one, it was nostalgic and funny.
貴方のラフマニノフのピアノアレンジに本当に感動して、他の動画を見ようとしたらこれが目に入りました。
期待値が天元突破していましたが、期待以上でした。
こんなに完璧なアレンジは聴いたことがありません。
大好きです。
와 요청드렸었는데 정말 감사합니다..
연휴에도 유튜브 볼 시간도 없이 바쁘게 지내느라 곡 업로드 하신줄도 몰랐네요..
곡 들으면서 어릴 때 추억에 잠시 잠겨서 힐링 잘 했습니다. 감사합니다.
