This is probably the most anticipated piano covers of this anime season, because countless people have requested a piano cover of this song. Now, the time has finally come! Here's my piano cover of the full version of "This Game" - the opening song to No Game No Life!

Initially I didn't want to upload a piano cover, because there are countless piano covers on YouTube already
(I guess I am really late into the "game", but better too late than never...)
But I realized that none of them has made a proper piano cover of the FULL version of this song (which was released on 21th may, 2014)

So in the end, I decided to make a piano cover after all, but a full version!

A few words about the transcription itself:
This piano cover are among my top 10 most difficult pieces I've ever written, because of the very fast speed and numerous two-hand arpeggios.
My left hand got extremely tired after I practiced this piece for 4 hours straight yesterday, prior to recording.

But I personally had a lot of fun playing this piece, because it has a very intense atmosphere: it's like you are playing a rock-concert on the piano, especially the intermission part in 3:17.
I omitted the repeat of the chorus at the end, because I thought it was a bit redundant. Instead, I added the "intro-part" at the end to give it a proper closure.

Alright, this is my final piano cover upload for this spring anime season, I'll see you in the next anime season again!.

Btw, in my 2021 remake of “This game,” I kept the iconic left-hand patterns unchanged and only added a few rhythmic improvements and a new three-hand technique in the second verse.
