After 8 years I think this is the best cover of a tokyo ghoul song ever. I know unravel is an amazing song, but this song and this anrrangement only hits different.
I always found this a bittersweet song, but because the endings were fit to each episode, and they could reflect back at you everything that made you sad in that episode, the song just became plainly sad to me, especially when it hit the chorus. But hearing this, I was hit with a completely different kind of feeling, hope. It was beautiful, I felt like it was reaching out and trying so desperately to grasp the light with a will to never give up. I was a little overwhelmed, I almost cried. I had to stop what I was doing, I couldn't go on. That was beautiful.
+Tifa Lockhart The art was also in Ishida's (the mangaka) drawing style which is truly beautiful. I find it looks like anime drawn with watercolours? maybe that's just me
I never understood why this anime in particular stood out to me. It wasn't just the art. It wasn't just the action. Watching Tokyo Ghoul, they emphasized how people will fight against you just based on differences. These certain differences that we can't help. And, I know first hand how people can be when you're different, so I was really drawn in by the characters and the things they were saying. While the ghouls were saying "This is all we eat!" I found myself saying, "This is only who I can be." We can only be ourselves. This is the one absolute truth that is clear to me.
+Zahara0000007 That is true but there is more then only the fightings about differences. Ghouls need human flesh to survive as their main source of nourishment, humans defend themself by regrouping in special forces. So There is the one bad group of ghouls who see humans as food and the ones who fight against the urge of eating human flesh.
Nicer Neihter But, are they evil for acting on their instincts? Are lions evil for eating humans? If no, then how are ghouls evil for succumbing to their nature? The over-arching theme is that they're fighting over differences. This is all they can eat. The creator made it this way in order to show how people will side against you for differences that you can't help! These are differences that society wants/expects you to restrain or annihilate in order to "fit in". Yes, there are two groups of ghouls. Ones who succumb to their nature. And, others who see the worth of humanity who try to not eat LIVE humans. If you were paying close enough attention to the anime(which I'm guessing you weren't) all ghouls eat humans. It's just that ghouls that work in the coffeeshop and a few others eat cadavers instead of live ones. So, to say that those ghouls are more moral by fighting against their urge...their only fighting their urge against live humans.
That "piano" is actually a BOMB with enough power to destroy Tokyo....and the way to disarm it is to play an incredibly beautiful song on it like a pro without making a single mistake.

I haven't listened to your playing in a while because I've been busy with music stuff, Then I come back to this Damn man, I forgot how amazing you were
+elimentalpowers I've heard this song many times but never on the piano (I thought I was used to the sadness). This version is so incredible; I felt exactly the same way you described.
Is it just me or am I the only one who actually LIKES the opening of Tokyo Ghoul 2nd season..? It just has a unconventional time signature with loads of modulation... People dislike what they aren't used to i think xD
Well first season OP set a high standard. That is why people (including me) don't like it. The art is beautiful though. I just wish the song was more... ghoulish? Ending on the other hand is amazing. But it's the same singer so it was expected. ^^
***** Lack of effort? Is it just me, or am I the only one that thinks they did just a perfect job of depicting Kaneki? In my opinion, there wasn't any lack of effort at all. Maybe you guys are digging deep enough.
This song for me represents that nostalgic feeling when you look back at your past when everything was okay. When you had no troubles, when you were naive, when you had all the time in the world but you didnt know this it. You didnt know this would be the best part of your life. And now everything is gone. And it reminds me that such a time may come back if you work on yourself and learn to appreciate things before they are gone. A real Masterpiece
I think it suits the second season in my opinion, if the second seasons is going to be anything similar to how the manga went, then it's more appropriate for it to be a bit more sad and toned down as well.
Yeah, I know that's why I said if this anime original is anything similar to how the manga went, as in the way it progresses, then the ost is suitable. So far, in the first two episodes there are similarities to the manga as well as new content. Maybe it'll reach the same conclusion, just in a different way
~ishter-kun~ Yeah I've noticed your piano expertise has grown so much since I first saw you. Hah I know you and Animenz have learned a lot from each other, those arpeggios reminded me so much of him. Keep learning! And try your best to get better always! ;)
Well Animenz improvised a few pieces and wrote one of his own, which I doubt without listening to a bit of Theishter he would have learned. Also he clearly learned how to do a piano duet through him, in fact they both learned. Since Animenz is more technically skilled it's harder to see what Theishter has "taught" him; however Theishter is more able to express emotion though his playing than Animenz. So really in the mind of most teachers who look at technique sure Theishter learned everything from Animenz; but it's really more complicated than that.
I love this ending, this anime. People may call it trash just because it's popular, because it's well known. But they don't understand. Tokyo Ghoul for me, is much better than Attack on Titan, although I love Levi-heichou and the setting and idea of AOT, but in this, you just support the humans, u know the titans are not good (even though they are also human, but whatever) Tokyo Ghoul, u just don't know who's side you're on. You hate and love both sides. They're both right and yet both wrong. It really brings out the ugliness of humans. Now that I think about it, this is reminding me of Code Geass...
Only reason why people call Tokyo Ghoul trash is because it didn't live up to the absolute brilliance of the manga. I've watched the anime and am up to date with the manga and by no means is it a bad show, I actually enjoyed seeing the different ending that happened in the show however the anime didn't even scratch the surface of what the manga had to offer which left a lot of people disappointed.
+LOtaku I don't think you 'know' what Tokyo Ghoul really is until you've read the manga which captures so much more than the anime. Season 1 left out huge chunks of information, but was still true to the manga and I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind watching it again, except for the censorship which ruins a lot of it but that's a totally different issue. Season 2 took a whole different route, ignored the author's incredible psychologically dynamic plot and really complex, fleshed-out characters and made a shit show out of it. You cannot comprehend the level at which the studio that made this anime fucked up the story of Ken Kaneki and that is precisely the reason why SO many manga fans are angry with the studio and call their anime 'trash', because the season 2 which was supposed to show SO much more than it did, but ended up being a colossal disappointment. Calling me obsessed with this series would be an understatement. I am in no way shitting on Tokyo Ghoul, the love I have for this series far excels the love I have for literally anyone or anything else, which is kind of sad now that I think about it, but it's the truth. If you truly enjoyed this series and feel that it means something to you, as I do, then take this advice: Read the manga.
People don't hate Tokyo Ghoul because it's popular, people hate it because it strayed very far from the depiction of the manga. The fact of the matter is that the manga is amazing, but the anime ruined that.
I liked the video even before listening to it, and I was never disappointed... without doubts, Tokyo Ghoul has the best openings and endings in my opinion... also 1:19 - 1:23 is just emotional...
10 месяцев назад+3
8yrs ago and I still come back here to listen this masterpiece.
Omg YOU MAKE ME CRY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 this is really beautiful to the point it's ineffable, I really can't explain how beautiful this cover is with words 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕 this is my favorite, thank you very very very much from my deepest heart ❤
This is without doubt the best piano cover ive heard!!! It really does ring true to my heart!!! Tokyo Ghoul to me is so close to who i am as a person, Kaneki trying to be human while fighting the demon within, sometimes embracing the demon within and then pushing it deep down. This song reminds me to just be me
Same, I'm on my tablet in bed just about to sleep when I saw that Ishter uploaded a video and now people in the same room are mad at me for listening without headphones. :p
In my humble opinion, your best ever performance. This really moved me. If you ever lose motivation just look back on this performance and see how truly magnificent you've become.
I am in the process of making sheets based off of ishter's performance. Just wondering how many people are interested in acquiring them. Sheets should be done by next Monday.
I can't believe I've JUST stumbled upon your channel. It is with the utmost respect, and urgency that I tell you how WONDERFUL THIS WAS! I have yet to hear performances on such a consistent basis that they move me to such powerful outputs of emotions. Every touch of a key, every note, each chord, the power and intensity, the form, I'm no pianist, but as a musician I was not only moved by the song but by the energy YOU PUT FORTH INTO IT! BRAVO!!!! I AM MOVED BEYOND WORDS!!!
I've listened to this song a bunch of times, but this is the first time I read the lyrics. Wow. I see the music as ocean waves; Sometimes the waves crashing over you and other times tide gently flowing over you. Outstanding!
The voices cry, as seasons die, the leaves fade to dust And one by one, they turn to run, so who can you trust? He pours just another glass And breathes in his empty past Above the moon is waning as I cave in to lust And weighing down, beneath a frown, the rain cries its tears Treading mud, heated blood, I’m drunk off their fears He wanders through every street A blank gaze filled with deceit Fabricating innocence with a conscience kept clear Barely there, empty stares, as if a shadow in the night Hesistant on what is right, questioning if this is life Crying loud, into the rain As my soul drowns in the pain Praying one day the clouds will break Shifting forth my withered fate Here we meet once again My yesterday damaged, time won’t ever mend Clutching to memories Days where I still believed Now all I do is break down deep inside And fighting back the urge to die Flowers growing anew Returning each season, through hardships they bloom Grief I try hard to hide Pain eating me alive Trapped in a nightmare that just never ends Wish the sun would shine again.
Heard this again after like 6 months and just realized that I can play it 😄 printed sheet music and took like 15 minutes getting to 20 seconds I’m gonna cry cause it’s so pretty I have to play it
+Stuck-in -Undertale Fandom I got over Hide. Hide is a dumbass anyway. He said he knew that Kaneki was a Ghoul. So exactly why would would he join the CCG. Its so dumb. Hide is just one of the CCG members dead. Nothin special about him. Well execpt he was friends with a Ghoul. Still a CCG and a Ghoul. I should have expected Hide to die from Kaneki.
+vince arbis He joined the CCG to actually LOOK for Kaneki. In the anime, you can see him looking at Kaneki's files, the confidential ones with 'eyepatch' on. Is he wasn't a ghoul investigator, he wouldn't have been able to talk to Kaneki in the sewer scene in the manga or the Anteiku scene in the anime. Hide being in the CCG is a huge part of the series, so he is special. Also he isn't a dumbass fite me
Jesus Christ... absolutely phenomenal play through. I can tell him practiced this song a lot and he enjoyed playing it, every note was perfect and flawlessly executed.. this song is officially my favorite as of today..
I must say.. All of his piano covers are beautiful and the sad ones even bring tears to my eyes, and ones like this make me smile happily... Then I get sad because I have to wait for the next episode.
he plays so beautifully, like in a way that makes your emotions go crazy, and all you wanna do is listen to it forever, because the feeling of it is so amazing.
I can't believe I only see this now. Definitely one of my favourite male-sung songs, and no doubt one of the most emotional performances you have delivered :_:
You'll begin at the start and play simple songs, like everyone else does, but some people loses faith, because they think they're bad or so. I play piano now for 6 years and I don't have any regret at all. Only if I see the videos from Ishter I want to often cry in a corner, because he's so good, but remember that he plays piano since he's 13 years old and he's now in his twenties. Learning piano on a pro or advanced level takes definitely a lot of time! :)
UnicornHorn I don't think if you start like a year ago that you'll be as good as he is, it's also about time. You have to spend time on playing the piano to become better. Of course you need talent and you've to work hard to come at a high level.
I started playing at the age of 4, though I got my REAL piano teacher in the age of 14 (my dad is a pianist and he taught me how to play until I was 14). Now, a half year later, I don't feel any difference from when I started playing with a teacher (the only thing maybe being the fact that I now can read the f key smoothly as I only could read the g key cause of violin since I was 4). My point is that time isn't theh most important part. The important thing is to have the will and the strength. As long as you have those two you can do anything.
I feel like I listen to piano covers of anime songs for a living, and this is by far my favorite cover ever. It's been in my favorites since it came out and I always find my way back to it, it never gets old, this is beautiful, thank you for playing this and putting it out there for people to enjoy.
I feel like it doesn't matter how sad the song is to make you cry, or how lonely the song sounds. I have never been too affected by those kinds of songs, but for some reason, these songs get to me. These kind of upbeat songs, that some people say "Shouldn't make you cry", they really make me sentimental. There is something more about this song that stands out to me, and makes tears well in my eyes. If you've watched Tokyo Ghoul or read the manga, this song will have a deeper meaning to you, with how Kaneki is struggling to help his friends, doing whatever he can to keep them safe, while simultaneously suffering, struggling with the things he has experienced. All I have to say is that, this song is beautiful, and your cover is amazing. Keep up the great work. I know this is late, but I just had to say something.
In case someone wants to sing along: Kisetsu wa tsugitsugi shindeiku zetsumei no koe ga kaze ni naru iromeku machi no yoenai otoko tsuki wo miageru no wa koko ja busui Doro ni ashi mo tsureru seikatsu ni ame wa arukooru no aji ga shita apashii na me de samayou machi de kyodou fushin no inosento ekimae nite Boku ga boku to yobu ni wa futashika na hantoumei na kage ga ikiteru fuu da ame ni utaeba kumo wa wareru ka nigiyaka na natsu no hikarabita inochi da Haikei imawashiki kako ni tsugu zetsuen no shi saitei na hibi no saiaku na yume no zangai wo sutete wa ikezu koko de iki taeyou to kousei hana wa saki kimi ni tsutau hensen no shi kunou ni mamirete nageki kanashimi soredemo todaenu uta ni hi wa sasazu tomo...
I can't thank you enough for that. This song is by far my favorite in all of the anime songs and it's even more magnificient when you play it, so thank you!
ugh absolutely beautiful
Now it's your turn! :)
Still want you to do the Fate/Stay Night UBW opening... I'm getting impatient
OMG! Glad you liked it!! :D
DO A COLLABORATION OR SOMETHING PLEASEEEE! :)
A collaboration on this song would make my life complete
After 8 years I think this is the best cover of a tokyo ghoul song ever. I know unravel is an amazing song, but this song and this anrrangement only hits different.
glassy sky is up there too. Such a beautiful piece.
I agree I heard this cover 6 years ago and I still love it

That was beautiful.
Tifa Lockhart Well said mate!
Tifa Lockhart your comment is beautiful
One my favourite things about the ending was hoe each animation was different, and the last one had them all in.
WrongKindOfPot I loved that too. It threw everything emotional from the episode right back at you.
+Tifa Lockhart The art was also in Ishida's (the mangaka) drawing style which is truly beautiful. I find it looks like anime drawn with watercolours? maybe that's just me

Tokyo ghoul was never meant to be an action shonen, it's a physiological thriller. It's a character and atmosphere driven show/manga.
This is what I say when I'm insecure about my dick size. Thanks
+Lord Nutz You're freaking hilarious :') XD
time passed so fast ,,its been 9 year
That "piano" is actually a BOMB with enough power to destroy Tokyo....and the way to disarm it is to play an incredibly beautiful song on it like a pro without making a single mistake.

It's one of the most beautiful songs there are. What a time to be alive to listen to this song
季節は次々死んでいく 絶命の声が風になる
色めく街の 酔えない男 月を見上げるのはここじゃ無粋
泥に足もつれる生活に 雨はアルコールの味がした
アパシーな目で 彷徨う街で 挙動不審のイノセント 駅前にて
僕が僕と呼ぶには不確かな 半透明な影が生きてる風だ
雨に歌えば 雲は割れるか 賑やかな夏の干涸びた命だ
拝啓 忌まわしき過去に告ぐ 絶縁の詩
最低な日々の 最悪な夢の 残骸を捨てては行けず ここで息絶えようと
後世 花は咲き君に伝う 変遷の詩
苦悩にまみれて 嘆き悲しみ それでも途絶えぬ歌に 陽は射さずとも
明日は次々死んでいく 急いても追いつけず過去になる
生き急げ僕ら 灯る火はせつな 生きる意味などは後からつく
君が君でいるには不確かな 不安定な自我が 君を嫌おうと
せめて歌えば 闇は晴れるか 根腐れた夢に預かった命だ
拝啓 忌まわしき過去に告ぐ 絶縁の詩
最低な日々の 最悪な夢の 残骸を捨てては行けず ここで息絶えようと
後世 花は咲き君に伝う 変遷の詩
苦悩にまみれて 嘆き悲しみ それでも途絶えぬ歌に 陽は射さずとも
疲れた顔に足を引きずって 照り返す夕日に顔をしかめて
行こうか 戻ろうか 悩みはするけど しばらくすれば 歩き出す背中
そうだ行かねばならぬ 何はなくとも生きて行くのだ
僕らは どうせ拾った命だ ここに置いてくよ なけなしの
拝啓 今は亡き過去を想う 望郷の詩
最低な日々が 最悪な夢が 始まりだったと思えば 随分遠くだ
どうせ花は散り 輪廻の輪に還る命
苦悩にまみれて 嘆き悲しみ それでも途絶えぬ歌に 陽は射さずとも
季節は次々生き返る

1:35 just--- my heart felt heavy all of the sudden and my eyes were starting to water. Ah, I'm so weak.
+elimentalpowers You're not alone
+elimentalpowers for me it was from 1:23 to 1:35. Then it exploded
We aren't weak. We've just stayed strong for too long.
+elimentalpowers I've heard this song many times but never on the piano (I thought I was used to the sadness). This version is so incredible; I felt exactly the same way you described.
+The Dark Rider Mirajane much?
Is it just me or am I the only one who actually LIKES the opening of Tokyo Ghoul 2nd season..? It just has a unconventional time signature with loads of modulation... People dislike what they aren't used to i think xD
After watching it for a third time, it is actually not bad. It's actually beautiful.
Ah yes of course, I viewed it solely from an audio/music fans perspective but I can see how people can be disappointed by the video
N Ruhrup apparently the manga artist drew the opening and tbh that was the only thing beautiful to me ;-; maybe i should go listen to it more
Well first season OP set a high standard. That is why people (including me) don't like it. The art is beautiful though. I just wish the song was more... ghoulish?
Ending on the other hand is amazing. But it's the same singer so it was expected. ^^
***** Lack of effort? Is it just me, or am I the only one that thinks they did just a perfect job of depicting Kaneki? In my opinion, there wasn't any lack of effort at all. Maybe you guys are digging deep enough.
This song for me represents that nostalgic feeling when you look back at your past when everything was okay. When you had no troubles, when you were naive, when you had all the time in the world but you didnt know this it. You didnt know this would be the best part of your life. And now everything is gone.
And it reminds me that such a time may come back if you work on yourself and learn to appreciate things before they are gone.
A real Masterpiece

+Mon Blume but mommy it hurts

Is it me or is it that Tokyo ghoul season 2 songs sounds bit more peaceful than before
I think it suits the second season in my opinion, if the second seasons is going to be anything similar to how the manga went, then it's more appropriate for it to be a bit more sad and toned down as well.
Seryne299 The second season actually isn't following the manga at all. According to the producer of it, it is a new original story line.
Yeah, I know that's why I said if this anime original is anything similar to how the manga went, as in the way it progresses, then the ost is suitable. So far, in the first two episodes there are similarities to the manga as well as new content. Maybe it'll reach the same conclusion, just in a different way
I cant find the piano sheet for this , so looks like i have wait till someone makes the sheet so i improvise it
its a farewell song for touka since ahes going to die haha
Nice playing as always :D The way those high arpeggios were accented and executed at 0:52 :3
It was a bit difficult to practice though lol
~ishter-kun~ Yeah I've noticed your piano expertise has grown so much since I first saw you. Hah I know you and Animenz have learned a lot from each other, those arpeggios reminded me so much of him. Keep learning! And try your best to get better always! ;)
What has animenz learnt from ishter?
Well Animenz improvised a few pieces and wrote one of his own, which I doubt without listening to a bit of Theishter he would have learned. Also he clearly learned how to do a piano duet through him, in fact they both learned.
Since Animenz is more technically skilled it's harder to see what Theishter has "taught" him; however Theishter is more able to express emotion though his playing than Animenz. So really in the mind of most teachers who look at technique sure Theishter learned everything from Animenz; but it's really more complicated than that.
Amazing.
I almost cried.
I had to work hard to hold back my tears, listening to this wonderful piano play of a wonderful song.
I'm Japanese and I'm very happy to watch this video because the Anime song from japan is played by piano beyond the sea!!
I love this ending, this anime. People may call it trash just because it's popular, because it's well known. But they don't understand. Tokyo Ghoul for me, is much better than Attack on Titan, although I love Levi-heichou and the setting and idea of AOT, but in this, you just support the humans, u know the titans are not good (even though they are also human, but whatever)
Tokyo Ghoul, u just don't know who's side you're on. You hate and love both sides. They're both right and yet both wrong. It really brings out the ugliness of humans.
Now that I think about it, this is reminding me of Code Geass...
Only reason why people call Tokyo Ghoul trash is because it didn't live up to the absolute brilliance of the manga. I've watched the anime and am up to date with the manga and by no means is it a bad show, I actually enjoyed seeing the different ending that happened in the show however the anime didn't even scratch the surface of what the manga had to offer which left a lot of people disappointed.
+LOtaku I don't think you 'know' what Tokyo Ghoul really is until you've read the manga which captures so much more than the anime.
Season 1 left out huge chunks of information, but was still true to the manga and I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind watching it again, except for the censorship which ruins a lot of it but that's a totally different issue.
Season 2 took a whole different route, ignored the author's incredible psychologically dynamic plot and really complex, fleshed-out characters and made a shit show out of it.
You cannot comprehend the level at which the studio that made this anime fucked up the story of Ken Kaneki and that is precisely the reason why SO many manga fans are angry with the studio and call their anime 'trash', because the season 2 which was supposed to show SO much more than it did, but ended up being a colossal disappointment.
Calling me obsessed with this series would be an understatement. I am in no way shitting on Tokyo Ghoul, the love I have for this series far excels the love I have for literally anyone or anything else, which is kind of sad now that I think about it, but it's the truth.
If you truly enjoyed this series and feel that it means something to you, as I do, then take this advice: Read the manga.
+Ari Yeah ,the maga is a thriller\tragedy and the anime is more like a horror /splater-series .
People don't hate Tokyo Ghoul because it's popular, people hate it because it strayed very far from the depiction of the manga. The fact of the matter is that the manga is amazing, but the anime ruined that.
'you just support the humans, u know the titans are not good' the manga has been hinting otherwise.
FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE LIKE TOKYO GHOUL
you turned the aggresive opening song into such beautiful relaxing song, how adorable
I liked the video even before listening to it, and I was never disappointed... without doubts, Tokyo Ghoul has the best openings and endings in my opinion... also 1:19 - 1:23 is just emotional...
8yrs ago and I still come back here to listen this masterpiece.
fr, especially on new year
the lyrics to this song make me cry and then theres the sound of the piano and it makes me cry even more because its sounds so beautiful
It's so breathtaking. I could listen to it all day. I'm in love!!
*cries softly then gradually leads to gross sobbing*
THaNk YOU SO MUCH! I’m in lve with this song
Omg YOU MAKE ME CRY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 this is really beautiful to the point it's ineffable, I really can't explain how beautiful this cover is with words 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕 this is my favorite, thank you very very very much from my deepest heart ❤
*Ahhh, so true~*
5 years later I still listen to this...so good
tokyo ghoul has one of the greatest OST's, ED's and OP's i have ever seen in an anime
NEXT WEEK CAN'T COME QUICKLY ENOUGH!
I NEED to hear your Death Parade OP piano version * __ *
same. can't wait
THE FACT THAT YOU WERE THE FIRST RUclips PIANIST TO POST THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY. YOU WERE AMAZING. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
When I hear u play this I literally hear the words and someone singing that's how good it is or I'm just on something without me knowing.
Still in love with this song, its beautiful

I think this song perfectly descirbes the feeling of the last chapter to this amazing series
This is without doubt the best piano cover ive heard!!! It really does ring true to my heart!!!
Tokyo Ghoul to me is so close to who i am as a person, Kaneki trying to be human while fighting the demon within, sometimes embracing the demon within and then pushing it deep down.
This song reminds me to just be me
this song hits hard everytime
was gonna go to sleep but okay
Same, I'm on my tablet in bed just about to sleep when I saw that Ishter uploaded a video and now people in the same room are mad at me for listening without headphones. :p
Defiance10001 Why people mad at you? xD the song was not annoying I think o.o
Its not annoying its just they were trying to sleep is the problem.
But the music was so beautiful its like a lullaby so it helps u sleep
God amazarashi is such a godly band. Definitely one of my favourite japanese bands and bands in general.
In my humble opinion, your best ever performance.
This really moved me. If you ever lose motivation just look back on this performance and see how truly magnificent you've become.
I had chills throughout this wonderful performance
Yes.
My favorite Ending of all time
it gives me a clear and bright heart when
im sad Thank you Ishter-Kun
Tokyo ghoul is such an amazing anime. And when the songs are played on the piano it's beautiful.

Manga is better:)
ADS im just starting to read the manga
I honestly feel like this should've been the opening because it is just absolutely brilliant. Words cannot express how much i love this song!!!
literally my favorite song.
I am in the process of making sheets based off of ishter's performance. Just wondering how many people are interested in acquiring them. Sheets should be done by next Monday.
sounds great, currently not on my top priority list to learn, but eventually i'd love to :)
I would love it!!! :)
Alright finally done, here you go guys :) drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxh54Vo_AxZRTVRwYlVubEJRdnc/view?usp=sharing
TheWickedWok thanks a lot :)
TheWickedWok Thanks for the sheets! Which performances are you planning on making more sheets of in the future, if any?
I've listened to the original once, and this cover is so sweet on. I never thought it would be this sweet on piano
Love it :)
I come back to this cover time to time. One of the best ending songs ever and what a beautiful piano cover...Cant get enaugh
What a time to be alive to be able to listen to this beautiful song ❤️😑🎶
I come back to this over and over. Your version of this song is breathtaking. Amazing job ❤️
Wow goosebumps
You have extraordinary talent my friend :)
shadowstorm545 ^^
This literally makes me cry out of melancholic hope this song evokes and could put me in sad mode easily. So. Good.
This is still my favorite cover from you. I hope to see a full version sometime in the future. I'll wait forever for it.
its really beautiful.i've listened to this song for the last 3 years and still my favorite
I didn't see the second season but just listening makes me nearly cry
you should read the manga ... while listening to the OST's ... Im sad again
I can't believe I've JUST stumbled upon your channel. It is with the utmost respect, and urgency that I tell you how WONDERFUL THIS WAS! I have yet to hear performances on such a consistent basis that they move me to such powerful outputs of emotions. Every touch of a key, every note, each chord, the power and intensity, the form, I'm no pianist, but as a musician I was not only moved by the song but by the energy YOU PUT FORTH INTO IT! BRAVO!!!! I AM MOVED BEYOND WORDS!!!
Please make a full version of this masterpiece...
I've listened to this song a bunch of times, but this is the first time I read the lyrics. Wow. I see the music as ocean waves; Sometimes the waves crashing over you and other times tide gently flowing over you. Outstanding!
The voices cry, as seasons die, the leaves fade to dust
And one by one, they turn to run, so who can you trust?
He pours just another glass
And breathes in his empty past
Above the moon is waning as I cave in to lust
And weighing down, beneath a frown, the rain cries its tears
Treading mud, heated blood, I’m drunk off their fears
He wanders through every street
A blank gaze filled with deceit
Fabricating innocence with a conscience kept clear
Barely there, empty stares, as if a shadow in the night
Hesistant on what is right, questioning if this is life
Crying loud, into the rain
As my soul drowns in the pain
Praying one day the clouds will break
Shifting forth my withered fate
Here we meet once again
My yesterday damaged, time won’t ever mend
Clutching to memories
Days where I still believed
Now all I do is break down deep inside
And fighting back the urge to die
Flowers growing anew
Returning each season, through hardships they bloom
Grief I try hard to hide
Pain eating me alive
Trapped in a nightmare that just never ends
Wish the sun would shine again.
I remember listening to this back in 2016... still beautiful as it was back then!
Heard this again after like 6 months and just realized that I can play it 😄 printed sheet music and took like 15 minutes getting to 20 seconds I’m gonna cry cause it’s so pretty I have to play it
Update: I learnt it
Good job. Wish I could
この人のこの弾き方めちゃくちゃ好きだわ
The ending was so sad....... I miss Tokyo Ghoul...... Hide. Why did you die...... WHY 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭
Don't worry he just HIDE
+Stuck-in -Undertale Fandom OMG , YOU DONT DARE 😭😂
+Stuck-in -Undertale Fandom I got over Hide. Hide is a dumbass anyway. He said he knew that Kaneki was a Ghoul. So exactly why would would he join the CCG. Its so dumb. Hide is just one of the CCG members dead. Nothin special about him. Well execpt he was friends with a Ghoul. Still a CCG and a Ghoul. I should have expected Hide to die from Kaneki.
+vince arbis He joined the CCG to actually LOOK for Kaneki. In the anime, you can see him looking at Kaneki's files, the confidential ones with 'eyepatch' on. Is he wasn't a ghoul investigator, he wouldn't have been able to talk to Kaneki in the sewer scene in the manga or the Anteiku scene in the anime. Hide being in the CCG is a huge part of the series, so he is special. Also he isn't a dumbass fite me
+【Chat Noir】 Bro, if u wanna fite him ill JOIN YOU BRO DONT SAY HIDE IS A DUMBASSSSS LEZZZGOOOOO
This will always be one of my all time favorite pieces you have done. I always keep coming back!
*Aggressively slams like button*
Michelle A *still slamming like button* THIS IS AMAZINGGG
Real😊
Jesus Christ... absolutely phenomenal play through. I can tell him practiced this song a lot and he enjoyed playing it, every note was perfect and flawlessly executed.. this song is officially my favorite as of today..
amazarashi, the best.
What i like the most about your cover is IT IS SOOOO DETAIL!!
i hate that its so good cuz im going to stay in my room with no life and reply this over and over.................fml

👋

Andrew Qiu

I must say.. All of his piano covers are beautiful and the sad ones even bring tears to my eyes, and ones like this make me smile happily... Then I get sad because I have to wait for the next episode.
Amazing!! Best cover
The amount of freaking skill it takes to play the left hand so light is insane and intimidating.
staring at the one A note. by the end of the video, I'm feeling homicidal.
XD The OCD is real
he plays so beautifully, like in a way that makes your emotions go crazy, and all you wanna do is listen to it forever, because the feeling of it is so amazing.
Please make the sheets!! I'm in love with this song, and your version is the best! :3
+Nerea M del C drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxh54Vo_AxZRTVRwYlVubEJRdnc/view?usp=sharing
I can't stop listening to this. Your arrangement is so beautiful and I love all of it.
I agree
I think I would want this played at my funeral.
I can't believe I only see this now.
Definitely one of my favourite male-sung songs, and no doubt one of the most emotional performances you have delivered :_:
Goddamn, i need to go learn to play the piano now.
That was awesome!
You'll begin at the start and play simple songs, like everyone else does, but some people loses faith, because they think they're bad or so. I play piano now for 6 years and I don't have any regret at all. Only if I see the videos from Ishter I want to often cry in a corner, because he's so good, but remember that he plays piano since he's 13 years old and he's now in his twenties. Learning piano on a pro or advanced level takes definitely a lot of time! :)
Dieu Garritsen I want to correct and improve my bad grammar now, but I'm too lazy so I'm sorry for my bad English.
Playing piano since your 13 isn't something that makes you good. He is both good at working hard and he's also pretty talented. At least I'd assume so
UnicornHorn I don't think if you start like a year ago that you'll be as good as he is, it's also about time. You have to spend time on playing the piano to become better. Of course you need talent and you've to work hard to come at a high level.
I started playing at the age of 4, though I got my REAL piano teacher in the age of 14 (my dad is a pianist and he taught me how to play until I was 14). Now, a half year later, I don't feel any difference from when I started playing with a teacher (the only thing maybe being the fact that I now can read the f key smoothly as I only could read the g key cause of violin since I was 4). My point is that time isn't theh most important part. The important thing is to have the will and the strength. As long as you have those two you can do anything.
I feel like I listen to piano covers of anime songs for a living, and this is by far my favorite cover ever. It's been in my favorites since it came out and I always find my way back to it, it never gets old, this is beautiful, thank you for playing this and putting it out there for people to enjoy.
Never ever regretted listening to ~ishter-kun~ 's piano covers.
You just can't.
not sure what's more captivating , this beautiful melody or those dark lyric
I am literally near tears! I loved Tokyo Ghoul and became so attached to Kaneki as a character.
Poor Kaneki, he did nothing wrong. 😔
GirlOnTheStreets Ay, the bad doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and and saints-
I feel like it doesn't matter how sad the song is to make you cry, or how lonely the song sounds. I have never been too affected by those kinds of songs, but for some reason, these songs get to me. These kind of upbeat songs, that some people say "Shouldn't make you cry", they really make me sentimental. There is something more about this song that stands out to me, and makes tears well in my eyes. If you've watched Tokyo Ghoul or read the manga, this song will have a deeper meaning to you, with how Kaneki is struggling to help his friends, doing whatever he can to keep them safe, while simultaneously suffering, struggling with the things he has experienced. All I have to say is that, this song is beautiful, and your cover is amazing. Keep up the great work. I know this is late, but I just had to say something.
Who’s still here listening to this beauty in 2020
2021 in fact
In case someone wants to sing along:

The new OP in the second series might not have beaten the first but I sure he'll say that the new ED does.
Even though it's not a fast over-the-top arrangement, I really like the clarity and the peacefulness of your rendition; it's a nice change of pace :)
Season 3 is out!!! More beautiful piano music arrangements coming soon!
I agree with you too! The music is great and the lyrics do have a deep connection to Kaneki's emotions and thoughts...
Is that a Misaka Misoko chibi figure?!
Yes indeed :3
SO JELLY!!! XD
This and hyori ittai are my fav endings ever. Thank you for making this video. You just brought a grown man to tears.
This is beautiful D':
Wow, ¡¡¡¡Es increíble!!!! ¿¿¿¿Cómo puede tener tal control sobre sus dedos????
Yo estaba pensando "vale, con un poco de esfuerzo puedo aprender a tocarla..." luego a avanzado y he caído en que es imposible D':
Kirishima Touka so are u.
Touka
ThaVillageGamers Hi~~ (yay, now i am a cute Touka.. I think)
Not only sound is beautiful but you hands and fingers are just dancing on the tiles Aaa nante utsukushii
Did you create the keyboard / piano yourself?????? COOOL
Keanu Nurherbyanto the piano you see is simply an electric piano with its case taken off
I can't thank you enough for that. This song is by far my favorite in all of the anime songs and it's even more magnificient when you play it, so thank you!
I have a lot to do in my Grade 7 Life and this makes me calm down....thanks :)
True
I just started high school, good luck!

Tania Tani xD thanks! it's really fun now because of my friends :)
ICarlie Shaye ahhaha yeh the friends part of hih school is amazing but the rest of it kills
I have been listening to this all day. I honestly think that you playing this is more powerful than the actual song. It's beautiful.
haikei ima wa shikiii....kako ni suguu... zetsuen no shiiii... XD !! #singing
The lyrics just hit you right there ;-; oh my god, kaneki I'll cry 4 you
NO WAY HE IS ARIMA KOUSEY
I agree. I almost cry...from Japan
Pablo Zhang Arima Kousei's voice actor, and Kaneki's voice actor are the same person. Mind Blown.
