"On That Day, Humanity Received a Grim Reminder".
The moment, when Eren’s mother was eaten. The moment, when Eren transformed the first time into a titan, roaring of anger. The moment when Armin was desperately convincing the garrison to not attack Titan-Eren, fearing for his life. All these emotionally heavy scenes were accompanied by「Vogel im Käfig」in the anime.
Personally, this is one of my favorite Soundtracks from Hiroyuki Sawano and it could be regarded as the closest thing to a “symphonic poem” in the Attack on Titan soundtrack. The hauntingly beautiful beginning, the combination of different “chapters” in the music, and the incredible dramatic climax at the end - 「Vogel im Käfig」has it all.
Because this piece is such a cinematic masterpiece, it was the ultimate challenge for me to create a piano arrangement with a similar emotional intensity as the original soundtrack. There are many moments of “silence” in this arrangement such as in 0:35, 1:41 or 2:39 and they all serve a vital role in the music as a "breather" between each musical chapter.
In my opinion,「Vogel im Käfig」could be divided in the following 6 musical chapters:
(I also referenced the German lyrics a little bit)
0:00 "A bird in the sky"
0:37 "The world we are living in"
1:45 "A new hope"
2:42 "All living things will die"
3:13 "Our fate and destiny"
4:56 "We will fight"
With other words, the 6 minutes and half of this arrangement is serving mainly one purpose: Building up the music until the world (literally) crashes down in 4:56. For this purpose I thought of every possible way to maximize the tension in the piano arrangement such as three hand technique in 4:56 or super fast left hand arpeggios in 5:44.
Last but not least, it is also interesting to note that 「Vogel im Käfig」 is being played in the second half of 「YouSeeBIGGIRL」and having a similar role as the musical climax at the end. I guess the finale of 「Vogel im Käfig」is just too good, haha.
With that said, thank you for reading this week's "Animenz Explains"! I hope you enjoyed my arrangement of「Vogel im Käfig」and you could relive all the Attack on Titan nostalgia again. My next video has been decided already and it's going to be the "musical twin" of this piece, 「YouSeeBIGGIRL」
See you next time again!

“I'll kill them all! I'll wipe every one of them...off the face of this earth!" 4:56
- Eren Yeager
Thats a pretty meaningful quote especially after what happened after the episode where Santa ate him
Dude, the way Eren's Japanese VA delivered this line sent chills down my spine..
best moment in anime..
Sasageyooo
"RUOOOAAAAA AAH!!!" 5:04
- Eren Yeager
This arrangement gave me kingdom hearts flashbacks, idk why tho. Anyway, here's a suggestion: dearly beloved from kingdom hearts
Throwback to when the armored and colossal titans seemed like the biggest threats in AoT. How far we’ve come…
Attack on Titan raises the stakes with every new arc. Story telling-wise, it’s really amazing
@@Animenzzznot just stakes, but thematic context too
What was first an existential fight against an unnatural force reveals into the origin of said force, its intricate history, and conflict with the world too
A struggle for freedom develops into a question on its nature & relationship with power
Fr bruh
Getting a heart comment from animenz must feel so amazing given the legend he is😅🎉❤
If you look behind him you’ll see Eren is the one who made him play this theme.
"What are you doing? You need to end this song. 4:56 is the best moment."
“You started this story” *Animez sees a vision of his unravel cover video*
Spoiler Alert
Yo ging
@@krypton_06 how?
A moment of silence for animenz's asian cousins at the family gathering
We are currently witnessing the arc in which animenz makes an arrangement of every legendary aot soundtrack.
So all of them
hello there
general kenobi
Fruit go back to making arrangements
13 songs from Attack on Titan and counting. I should release an Attack on Titan piano album at this point, haha
Yes, the piece we've been waiting for years. Animenz surely did insane this time as well. Especially the left hand part close to the end, sounds like Animenz enjoyed going all out FFF at the end, lol
Animenz always delivers in the end.
Wait how is it possible that you commented this 11 hours ago While the video was posted 9 hours ago ?
@@kahinaa_ this was premiered, so it wasnt just uploaded. in a premire, you can comment before the video is posted. a premire is when an uploader sets a video to upload on a certain day on a certain time, and people click on the post and wait for the video to start and they can comment as well.
We have been waiting for...
@@xernon8853 ohh okk ty
Already amazing in the first few bars where you establish the first melody in arpeggios to mimic a bird's (Vogel) flight.
We have a winner here! (You guessed the interpretation correctly, even before I updated the full video description, haha)
i didnt understand fully pls someone tell me what the hack this guy is saying ?
does he mean that he is shadowing in the playing just like how isyama did in the storyline ?
@@Spoprism_editz the song title means bird in the cage, and the "fluttering" sound of the arpeggios in the beginning is like the fluttering of a birds wings
@@IsaacTeo411 thank u
so he did ............
@@Animenzzz that just means that you fully convey your emotion through your playing that's why
It's one of the most beautiful songs that's hard not to tear up to, you can literally hear her voice singing in your head as he's playing the piano.
@@peaced_beast if only there’s a way to filter certain commenters..
You're everywhere:)
Is this a bot or no
@@strangefungus2093 no he’s not a bot, he’s real person. If you’re interested, there are a couple videos about him. OwO is another with similar behavior.
@@VicJang does he just have no life
After today, this rendition just hits hard.
Just like storytelling, you can literally hear something he is trying to deliver...
You know, a lot of people are praising Animenz for his technique when he starts going off at 4:56, but I think everything before that was equally impressive. One of the hardest things for a pianist to master is a sense of touch and phrasing, and Animenz has come a long way from when he first started out. When you play a slower part, expression is key. And you have to give each note its own meaning. Animenz is a master in this regard. Well done!
How can I put 10000 likes? Yes to all this!
@@alexandrasolnceva5604 Thank you! That was really kind of you. 🙂
Totally. And also at 4:56 not everyone notice the melody been played with the left hand, and the harmony on the high notes at the right, that was really well done.
@@andrewlevin7586 l😊pp
Attack on Titan’s soundtrack is unmatched
I don't know if it won awards but if it didn't, wtf are those awards anyway??
Composer deserved a medal for this shit
@@indigofremont Fr bro. Hiroyuki is a genius
Finally someone Will do justice to this masterpiece
@@adammuels2675 animez version is still better and honestly the best ive heard. no one can top any of animez pieces its just that
@@adammuels2675 Its honestly not that good compared to this
It's true that not many can be compared to Animenz, still I think Patrik made an intermediate, but pretty good arrangement, that also did justice.
@@bendeguztakacs756 true its actually playable for the average person unlike animez piece
@@adammuels2675 ?? Those are not comparable at all lol. not saying that patrik did a poor job just that animenz is just too good
"Reiner, Bertholdt, you traitorrrssssss"
Omg the chills.
He finally did it.
5:44 ¡That left hand is incredible! 😱.
Two days after my friend was murdered, I entered the room and sit to the piano, empty and unable to even shed a tear. The melody came to my mind so naturally. I touched the keys and realized I can't stop crying. Vogel im Kafig was my only way to grieve for her. I made my own arrangement then and used to play when I couldn't find another way to get away the numbness. It's been almost 8 years, but I can't play it ever since and even listening to it is still somewhat painful to these days, but it's a great masterpiece indeed, and performed so beautifully. I don't know how to put these feelings into words, but I'm glad I could listen to it today. Thank you, Animenz, once again.
if this is real im truly sorry for u
If this story is true, I am so sorry my friend. I’ve never experienced that, I could not imagine the pain. Peace be with your friend.
@@bettymacrothe97th56 unfortunately. Thank you, friend.
What a great skill you have and such a healthy way to cope. At my worst moments I look at my piano and feel the urge to let out my emotions like that, though I still can’t play even after years of wishing. Listening to others play passionately is what I do instead.
I’m sorry for what happened to your friend, I hope peace finds you and everybody you love.
Why no one's talking about that moon's color on the back changed when the song's mood changed??!! That's a detail worth talking about!!
I'm currently re-watching the whole anime with my wife before watching the last few episodes of the final season. ❤️ The name of the very first episode is so well chosen
It’s amazing to see someone take a skill a lot of people know to the absolute extremes. 4:56 to the end was inhuman. That speed and accuracy.
I don't know why, but this always manages to make me cry, is something kinda random, but makes me remember back then. The memories of the ones that are no more in this world between us.
It hits me so hard when I listen it
I can’t explain how this anime makes me feel. As if my soul is crying out and wanted to break free. This is anime is nothing less than a masterpiece 😭❤️
The part starting at 3:35 it always gives me chills the build up until it gets back to soft and then into the huge chorus, this never gets old.
That's also one of my fav OST in all of aot such a great composition with a lot of feels.
Amazing arrangement animenz!
Would love to see even more aot covers xD
Same here, I love enjoying the silence of the pause in 3:40. The OST is a complete masterpiece
Finally we will have Animenz's version of this OST and well as TheIshter's version. Truly living in the best timeline
Steins;Gate reference?
Too bad TheIster doesn’t upload anymore 😢
@@fgstevwj yeah, but why? anyobody know the reason?
@@thecubingduck he's a dramatic guy, he'll upload something sooner or later. no but seriously i think he's just had enough of low quality piano girls dressing up to get millions of subs.
@@megumi_0 Did he actually say that?
Animenz will forever be one of the greatest anime pianist of all time and this song right here clearly displays that! 🔥
the greatest
@@steveonce7560 true lol
I mean...he's great all and but my boy Fonzi M has that fire bro! That magma!
@@josephcampbell6654 Who lmao
Before you know it, this is already the 13th AOT song transcribe by Animenz.
"Attack on Titan" created by Isayama Hajime is an epic anime work,
Animenz's piano arrangement of the "Attack on Titan" songs are also epic!!
0:01 - 0:37 and 2:42 - 2:57 remind me a bit of un sospiro😮😮
この曲すごく大好きだったから嬉しい！特に最初のパート！
こんなに荘厳な音色をピアノだけでここまで表現できるのが凄すぎます！！
1:46 - 2:19 perfection! ✨️
Edit: Ok i take that back. Just finished the entire vid and 0:00 - 6:34 is the true perfection! 😍👌
I was searching up “Vogel I’m kafig piano” like I always do, and then I saw “animenz 19 hours ago” and a huge smile appeared on my face.
9 years. Wow. We've been through so much these nine years.
The way his fingers are floating on the keyboard is as meditative as the music itself😄🙏💓
4:55 the chills running down my spine during this part, absolute perfection, the emotion couldn’t possible be captured any better than this
For some reason, this cover makes me so proud and happy all at once.
There is so much emotion in this composition, I used to listen to Patrick Pietschmann’s version. But this…this is perfection.
Wow, I'm surprised someone's taking about the Patric Pietschmann's version, it really is incredible
One of the most beautiful pieces in AoT and in anime in general. This is going to be good coming from Animenz!
This song reflects the dichotomy of the Attack on Titan world. The first half is so beautiful and breathtaking, while the latter half is dramatic and scores some of the most horrific scenes in season 1. To put it simply, it is beautiful, and it is cruel, just as Mikasa acknowledges the world is. It is filled with love, friendship, the noble struggle against oppression and extinction, but all those things can be twisted and turned into something horrific and cruel, such as Eren. He loves his friends, he loves his home, he wants freedom. And the things he does to achieve them are beyond unforgivable. He is cruel and his love for his friends is beautiful.
To the boy who sought freedom, goodbye.
Edit: to people who say he isn’t cruel or had no other choice, I am truly sorry your brain works that way.
Beautiful.
I don't think that the word to define eren is cruel, he knows what he is doing with the people he crushes and that he is making them suffer, and at no time does he enjoy that
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruelty
His hand was forced. He knew what was coming, and could only follow that path. This is explained, in the coming chapters.
@@Groete03 poor guy was manipulated by the future eren using attack titan and founding titan abilities
if he didnt kiss historias hand...
Beautiful❤ To me, it seems like the first half is how Mikasa saw the world, while second half is how Eren saw it...
*Animenz has the founding piano skill*
It does the anime it was from complete justice for how epic it is, it's just so good
後半めっちゃ鳥肌たちます、まじで毎日聴いてられる
THIS IS PEAK ANIME PIANO RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!
One of the most iconic OSTs in anime history and saying you absolutely nailed it would be an understatement!!!! This performance of yours is just brimming, overflowing with raw emotions! It's telling a story and it's an incredibly tragic one. Pure goosebumps material man, I really felt this one, holy crap... this must feel amazing to play!
Also looking forward to the first video on your second channel tomorrow, can't wait to see what it is!
Another insane arrangement!! My favorite part of this OST is during 1:46 and your arrangement really elevated that experience to another level. The build-up to the final chorus was so perfect for the theme especially the part at 4:45. The final chorus was just 10000/10. Again, thank you for always giving us these over-the-top arrangements!
OMGGG.......THESE GOOSEBUMPS I AM HAVING RN IS UNREAL
Damn, the ending of this song. Goosebumps. Your arrangements are so unbelievably good. Thank you
I can't get over how well-defined that bottom A is. Most pianos I've played on it's a warbled, atonal mess, so it's a really nice piano to clearly resonate that low.
@@slice0fpi934 I mean, it's a Steinway... wouldn't expect less tbh
@@Historia_ True, I got to use Steinways for years when I was taking lessons, they're absolutely beautiful pianos. I can't remember if many of those sounded so resonant in that range though, but tbf I wasn't listening for that very hard back then
@@slice0fpi934 I applied for an apprenticeship as a piano maker there, got rejected xd
Too little practical experience. They said I should come there next year.
even before i watch the anime i knew this by heart
5:01 my heart is bumping!!!!!! so fast!!!
Finally the best AOT ost is HERE!!!!!
omg, what just happened... that final left hand running
this is probably the most emotional piece i have heard from him honestly.
I will be honest with you all - I cried while listening to this and at the same time I've never been happier. It was definitely worth the wait.
How long have I waited this? From my childhood so long ago, 2000 years from now.
You're a blessing, that's all I've got to say, words fail to describe your immense talent and hardwork,.... Hats off.
4 Attack on Titan arrangements in a row... truly amazing
It's about to be 5
I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE DID THIS MASTERPIECE OF A SONG IN PAINO 💖💖💖💖💖🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😭😭😭😭
大好きなサントラなので聞けて嬉しいです😭ピアノでの丁寧なアレンジ、アニメの情景が浮かんで感動しました!!毎回素敵な演奏をありがとうございます✨これからも応援しています!!
I've been coming back to "Vogel im Käfig" every now and then for the past 10 years, and it's still as breathtaking and heart-wrenching as ever. I truly think it's one of Sawano Hiroyuki's best works. Thank you for such a beautiful arrangement Animenz! It is always such a joy to listen to your covers :)!
You should check out new piano version of Vogel in kafig by Swano if you haven't already
Vogel Im Kafig + Animenz + Emotional Nostalgia from AOT = Literal Perfection
Never heard the bottom notes used in a song before, absolutely loved it! That thundering end to a spectacular piece is a perfect fit for AoT.
You mean like at 4:58 (where the melody is played by the left hand)? It’s quite common in classical music :) Bach is a good example (and instructors tend to have students play Bach so they become more comfortable with splitting melodies between different voices/parts of their hands)!
@@anyaa565 Damn, nice info! I should get into classical music.
FINALLY!! the best song in the entire AoT OST in my opinion
I love the breakdown you wrote in the description. It was a masterful understanding of the track. I could never seem to describe the track quite accurately but you nailed it. This song really moves me and I really love what you've done here.
This OST would always give me chills but this time Animenz took my "chills" experience to another level.
Amazing performance, thank you!!!
finally, i’m waiting for your cover of this legendary emotionally song
Sawano-san recently published a piano album of his works, but next time when he does it, he MUST feature Animenz and his gorgeous arrangements because these are just some next level perfection and commitment to anime soundtracks.. You're doing such a beautiful job and I love every single arrangement!
Can't wait for Animenz to scream "Kono Uragirimono Ga" again
one of my all time favorites! it has everything! Joy, Sorrow, suspense, drama in its melody
I love that in this seasons ending, we see Eren in a cage, which probably refers to this song, so that Eren is the bird in the cage
Man 3:53 and onwards is just so satisfying akhhh.
And the way Animenz arranged it just makes it 10x better.
4:56 that’s the most emotional, powerful, yet dreadful and depressing piece in the entire series!! 😭😭
Perfect timing!!
I am just watching the complete AOT series for the first time. And it blows me away just like your way of piano playing and arranging!!!
Your parents can be proud of you!!!
he is a metronome.
Can I just express how incredibly thankful I am that you made this? This is my favorite musical piece and I've never heard it portrayed through piano the way you did. I'm going to listen to this so much; you absolutely have no idea!
I've waiting for this piece to be transcribed.. for 2000 years.. And it was all worth it. Thank you Animenz!
I’ve listened to this many many times today and it gets better and better every time.
澤野さんに負けない位の壮大さ！
かっこよくて聴き入ってしまいました👏👏👏
The most emblematic music of SNK for me
CHILLS ALL OVER MY BODY
god the piano's A0 is glorious.
What a majestic and artistic interpretation, from the rolling intro waves and *flying* arpeggios to the resonating chorus. The dark harmonies in the chorus always invoke a heart wrenching mood for me when they drop, especially the E D# E G# A line, and moments like the oomph put into those final deepest A notes really ring in my bones.
Soul wrenching. Thank you, Animenz, this was a deeply moving piece.
I love this. It gives me the same vibes as the betrayal scene in AOT. Animez really great pianist also can't help but think what if He played the legend of zelda breath of the wild main theme.... any way just my own opinion.
I keep coming back to this arrangement time and time again. This is a masterpiece. Thank you.
i'm happy because i'm still living to hear a lot of masterpiece.
That ending was insane. Yet another song on the playlist
Admit it…we have all been waiting for Animenz’s arrangement of this song
Animenz I want to apologize for no watching your last videos. I dont have time to watch now the four season of snk
But when I'll watch I Will go to see all your videos!!
This arrangement was absolutely beautiful as always. I just admire you so much. Thankyou for you music. Always here 😭🥰
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU FOR THIS AMAZING SONG
Vogel im Käfig IS MY FAVORITE SONG EVER
Always the best way I can describe this song and the show as a whole is "beautifully tragic".
this is one of animenz best arrangements, the control of the fortissimos and the musicality its just from other world
Niemand darf eigensinnig seines Lebens beraubt werden. ❤ Greetings from Germany.
Each animenz version is spectacular, this song could not be less and from my favorite anime!!
This is my favorite OST in AOT next to ashes on the fire and t-kt the build up is amazing. Nice cover as always!!
this man .. now seriously .. no exaggeration .. this human being must have a statue larger than the statue of liberty.
OMG. 4:56 is MASTERPIECE!
Whenever I hear this, I'm immediately hearing Eren scream from the top of his lungs: "YOU TRAITORS!"
*THIS IS... FREEDOM*
it's such a standalone piece that I can't even call it a cover. The Master Animenz has created an absolute Masterpiece. It's mind blowing. Bravo!
Some incredibly good piano techniques written into this. You've managed to write a beautiful arrangement that also doubles as a master class in piano writing.
Наконец-то я увидела спустя столько лет хоть часть лица. Зря прячетесь, красивый же)
Глянь его последний стрим, если на лицо хочешь посмотреть, да и инста тоже)
bro i literally cried
I'm speechless 🥺 I was waiting for it so long and this is so much better than what i expected. The dynamics and harmonies are just perfect and the left hand... wow
I'd learned Theishter version of this song, but noticing already the arpeggios in this brings the depth of Vogel im Kafig to a whole new level. Magnificent piece of music.
