I've seen a lot of people play Animenz's Tokyo Ghoul OP, but none have yet to be played to the skill/precision of Animenz's original upload. If you pay attention, you can notice not just a performance of notes and rhythms but deliberate, specific phrasing/dynamics that makes Animenz's performance a higher level from a musicianship standpoint. However, if any that I have seen come close, this is definitely the one.
Absolutely fantastic performance, I have seen plenty of pianists playing Animenz's unravel, but this is the best performance I have witnessed so far. Nice power control, clean runnings, every aspect of this performance seems to be perfect for me. Looking forward to your future uploads bro!
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone
Dude for the section at 1:48, you really brought out the melody line in the right hand. A lot of people fail to do that so good job. Also for the section following, the left hand runs were the cleanest I've ever seen lol. Amazing job.
How does this only have 4k views??? It should have more I'm so glad I got recommended this to me, this is by far, the best performance of this arrangement.
@@swordgg4591 agreed, animenz's performance has way too much emotion, man channeling everything into the piano(but that might be just cuz of the grand piano)
Yeah, I actually prefer to listen to this performance because I like the piano sound more than the one that animenz used, and also after listening to animenz performance many times, I eventually noticed the small mistakes, but this one doesn't have noticeable mistakes.
This is so fantastic omg. The wall of octave jumps at 0:52 were just so clean. I wish this was recommended to more people so you can get the likes you deserve. Fantastic playing.
We need Animenz in the comments asap!!! Like everyone said, it’s simply amazing trying to perform the way Animenz performed unravel but to exactly copy his way is far beyond amazing. Keep going at it!!
i didn't know there would be someone else on yt who can pull this off this clean and beautiful except animenz himself :D honestly, congrats and i love it
As a fellow pianist, something about 0:53 onwards scratches a part of my brain in a satisfying way and I’m here for it. The passion and way it’s played is so good. Everything is just amazing and I’m proud :D great job 👏❤
I've seen probably 20 covers of this song, and none of them were anywhere near animenz' level, let alone surpassed like you arguably did. Great job, you're gonna be big one day. Instant +1 sub
I tried learning this with 6 years experience playing piano and failed so props to anyone who can play it. It takes some serious dedication to learn something this difficult without giving up like i did.
I basically have the same amount of experience and I thought i could pull it off in like 2 or 3 months at the most then i realized I wasn't ready. So im just gonna practice other peices until im ready in 100 years.
Wow! My dream was always to play the piano. Now since a bit more than one year, I‘m playing it. And whenever I hear pianists, that can play the piano so well,.. uh.. I really don’t know but I love this one so, so much! And I also watch anime.. SO I LOVEE THE COMBINATION OF PIANO AND ANIME OPENINGS!! Wow! I‘m- WOW!
Some parts are a bit chaotic, but I think there are parts where it's even better than the original Can't imagine how much time this took you, but just amazing!!
BRO YOUUU Areee INSANEEEEe......omgggg ...........idkk like come onnnn only one moree yearr and you can become literallly like animenz.....nive..broo...you are insnae
I accidentally found your channel while searching for "ichiban no takaramono" piano cover. Just to realise that I have actually listened to your Unravel cover 3 years ago. Your work is truly amazing!😊👏
The difference with this version and Animenz ver. is that Animenz controlled the melody to keep it from sounding crowded. Hitting the notes in the right tempo and playing with dynamics (keeping the melody on top by playing the fleshing out notes lighter) are two different things. This was a good cover though.👍 Edit: I see people mentioning chopiano but his cover has the same problem. P.s. I came from a comment on a live performance video by Animenz saying this was better than the original.😔
I became your 387th subscriber after watching your great rendition and reading in description about your dedication to become proficient in playing this. I learned about your channel from chat in TheIshter's stream where he was reacting to Unravel performances, starting with Animenz's one (yours was not commented by him). From that chat I also learned about how Animenz (M. G.) recently had to part (due to their mismanagement and lack of proper financial direction) with agency M. G. made contract in 2018, that owns rights to Animenz IP, so he no longer personally controls Animenz YT account among other stuff (there is a post on r/piano where his last YT community message has been preserved, despite its removal on YT). He also lost his Steinway in the agency in the process. So devastating and sad.

This is so clean.
Probably the best performance of this arr. I've ever heard.
Agree
Completely agree
this and animenz's obv
Yea this is insane
Absolutely
Didn't think animenz would have a rival in junior high.
Exactly
Yeah He was UNRAVELED!(unrivaled)
animenz can play unravel in concert after many songs

@@Grovyle90 yep 100% agree
you know this dude will become something else when the first video he posts is 'unravel'
Yeah right
And it's Animenz arrangement.
playing any arragement from animenz perfectly is already impressive. ontop of that this guy chose unravel, one of the hard Arrangements of animenz
@@alpay389 *hardest, it has been approved as the hardest arrangement Animenz has made until now, by the community and even Animenz himself.
@@miyoko8380 that is just copium
unravel is not even in animenz top 10 hardest
I'm seirously SCARED at how good this is. Can't help wondering if it's actually Animenz behind the screen XD
found you
No way, It's you Again
Look it's RAMA!!
@@ActionAdam MEEEEE lol
Nah his hand is to loongggggg
Please play this in public, you literally sounded the same as animenz well done bro
Not many people can play the part starting 0:50 well, but this person did it really well.
Ikr, he played it so smoothly
This 4 jumps are pure muscle memory you need to lern them so long that xou could do them without even looking. And the rytjm is down bad as well
Nah it's hard from 0:53 I played it and and it was not hard the octave jump is easy it looks fantastic I know but the jump is easy
Absolutely fantastic performance, I have seen plenty of pianists playing Animenz's unravel, but this is the best performance I have witnessed so far. Nice power control, clean runnings, every aspect of this performance seems to be perfect for me. Looking forward to your future uploads bro!
3 years later and I’m still coming back to this specific video 😊
"After practicing this arrangement for a few years intermittently, I can finally play it fluently."
Dude. Respect.
only a few people on youtube can actually recreate this piece but when I saw this I was shocked, absolutely amazing performance
If you see his hands floating, you can't unsee it
I wonder if he’s considered hand modelling
Fr like how his hands look like that
i was just about to comment about how nice his hands are but i see that many others realised too
the fu is hand modelling lmaoooooo
Those hands have played a lot of pianos.

His/her hands are so beautiful!!!!! I have been trying hand exercises right after I watched this!!
Gotta say this is the first one I’ve seen that is as good and arguably better than the animenz ur a fucking legend
I agree, this cover's absolutely nuts!
Nope animenz is unrivalled. After all this piece is animenz's creation, ain't it?
@@pierrotzzz I meant in terms of performance
Yeup but still can't help siding with animenz
@@pierrotzzz fair.

How does this only have 4k views??? It should have more
I'm so glad I got recommended this to me, this is by far, the best performance of this arrangement.
is 53k enough
I propose to once again recall this masterpiece and enjoy the beautiful piano playing
Besides animenzs performance, he just puts too much of his soul into the performance
@@swordgg4591 agreed, animenz's performance has way too much emotion, man channeling everything into the piano(but that might be just cuz of the grand piano)
@@pierrotzzz are you saying too much as a bad thing or a good thing
nah im terrified of the fact that how does this sound exactly like animen'z arrg. and they have it basically perfected it at a young age
Yeah, I actually prefer to listen to this performance because I like the piano sound more than the one that animenz used, and also after listening to animenz performance many times, I eventually noticed the small mistakes, but this one doesn't have noticeable mistakes.
@@enchiladas1875 it has more mistakes than animenz or video
This is so fantastic omg. The wall of octave jumps at 0:52 were just so clean. I wish this was recommended to more people so you can get the likes you deserve. Fantastic playing.
So smooth , thank you
One of the best perfomances I have seen of Animez's Unravel. Great job, you nailed it.
2:03 left hand part sounds so beautiful 😍😍
We need Animenz in the comments asap!!! Like everyone said, it’s simply amazing trying to perform the way Animenz performed unravel but to exactly copy his way is far beyond amazing. Keep going at it!!
Simply incredible. Absolutely flawless.
Bravo 👏
i didn't know there would be someone else on yt who can pull this off this clean and beautiful except animenz himself :D honestly, congrats and i love it
months later i'm here again and i HAVE TO say that in my opinion your cover is the best, for real.
0:50 clean
I cant believe this, you should be more recomended by YT, Youre Awesome
Damn. This is absolutely brilliant! By far the best performance of this arrangement. Your control and precision are spot-on.
Holy your cover of this arrangement is absolutely insane!!
The Piano sounds so beautiful and you play with so much emotion ITS AMAZINGGG
This is the best arr. I've ever heard ❤
Wow, this performance was really good. This needs more views tbh.
Best version of Unravel I have ever heard. Keep it up, it is so amazing to have such a brilliant talent. So beautiful, so clean, so passioante.
YOOOO THAT’S THE VERSION OF THIS ARRANGEMENT I’VE BEEN DREAMING OF
Damn you killed it. One of the best performances I’ve seen of this arrangement
I really love the crescendos at 0:46
As a fellow pianist, something about 0:53 onwards scratches a part of my brain in a satisfying way and I’m here for it. The passion and way it’s played is so good. Everything is just amazing and I’m proud :D great job 👏❤

I thought it was Animenz’s playing, amazing skills
This sends actual chills down my spine oh my god
Lol there was actually a time when I could play this - I promised myself never to play this piece ever again xD
Lmfao
But why
Too addicting, huh
proof NOW
But you did do. I saw your comment on another video taht you learnt to play this masterpiece...
This piano is so good, the sounds it makes is so good. Ah I'm loving it already its almost like a grand piano but with richer sounds.
NAILED IT. MMMM SO GOOD
I tried learning this with 6 years experience playing piano and failed so props to anyone who can play it. It takes some serious dedication to learn something this difficult without giving up like i did.
I basically have the same amount of experience and I thought i could pull it off in like 2 or 3 months at the most then i realized I wasn't ready. So im just gonna practice other peices until im ready in 100 years.
Honestly I didn't expect this to be this good.
Lot of videos out there saying "i pLayEd aNiMenZ ver" are poorly done.
U r amazing bro!
At some points I got confused if he really has only five fingers per hand..
So much underrated performance!
it's incredible, I'm really impressing
You never will know how much I love Tokyo Ghoul. Listened to unravel for about 1000 times now, and it's amazing and gives me goosebumps...
Definitely the best cover performance of Animenz’s Unravel, so fluid and rich of sound, bravo!💪🏼
Wow! My dream was always to play the piano. Now since a bit more than one year, I‘m playing it. And whenever I hear pianists, that can play the piano so well,.. uh..

I've never seen anyone play this perfectly.
Watch Animenzs original video :,)
BRO YOUUU Areee INSANEEEEe......omgggg ...........idkk like come onnnn only one moree yearr and you can become literallly like animenz.....nive..broo...you are insnae
most clear and beautiful sounding cover yet! amazing i loved every second
dude your playing it's simply flawless, keep it up you're gonna be huge
Of all the covers I heard from Unravel (animenz) this was the best.
Me: *sits in class and listens to the teacher*
Meanwhile, what's going on in my head:
and I'm here once more... and still mind blowing...
鳥肌が立った🥹
Wow, that seems like it would be nerve-wracking to play, like a pianist counterpart to what Paganini feels like for me as a violinist.
This is one hell of a first upload. Instant subscribe! Can’t wait for your future performances :)
Thats the best performance I've ever heard...
This video is quite underrated it deserves more views and likes
u are the best one playing this piece other than animenz i love ur perfomance
You have one of the prettiest hands I've ever seen.
The best one I've seen of this arrangement. Looked so effortlessly done as well. I love this, well done man
This is the best one ive seen other than animenz himself
This is so incredibly accurate. It sounds just like the original. Keep up the good work! I am very impressed. 🎹❤️

Check out fanchens too
As soon as I clicked play, the next 4 minutes and 20 seconds felt like a mere minute to me.
Your performance was so crispy!
This is the king of video that makes me dream
This is the most accurate animenz cover ive seen other than animenz himself
Flawless
And subbed

@@AnimePianorama lol hi

It's very clean, I also play this georgous arrangement but not as clean as your, (it motivates me to practice it more).
Congratulation
i love this he did the best copy of animenz yet throughout this whole, near impossible arr i only heard 1 mistake good job keep it up bro
This video deserves more attention!!!
the patience of practicing for years!!! cheers!!!!

완전무결한 연주예요! 아주 좋군요.
Wtf i am also learning his Arrangement right now and i know how difficult it is. But YOU are just insane ... 92ed sub :)
Best version of the arrangement on RUclips and it's not even close. Sublime.
INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!
Plot twist - Its Animenz himself !!
Edit - Awseome video
You are the most underrated pianist on RUclips. I don't know how I only found you now.
the best performance ever
손가락 대박.. 살면서 저렇게 잘생긴 손가락이랑 손 처음 봐요.. 연주는 말할 것도 없구요👍🏻 좋아요 누르고 가요
阿狸加油！
Seriously bro. Good job. Literally on par with the big man himself.
man, i'm not lying but this cover is the best cover that I've ever heard
so clean and powerful. you deserve a million subs
This seriously needs more views.Absolutely Closest to Animenz by far.
You are friends with Animenz?! And WOW, this performance is completely flawless. It sounds just like Animenz's cover.
Yeah I'm his friend hahah
@The Nightbringers whoops yeah
I’m surprised you managed to hit most of those really difficult jumps and the scales which I found particularly hard when I played this song
