We Are! - One Piece OP1 [Piano]

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/62785

So here is my final piano arrangement for this year: "WE ARE!" - the first opening song of One Piece! This is one of the "jazziest" pieces I have arranged yet so far, with a jazzy solo part during the bridge part and an even more unconventional "finishing move".

It took me some time to identify all those exotic chord progressions of the original song, since I am still not used to jazz harmonics, but I think that I am slowly progressing. I hope that I can incorporate more jazz elements in my future arrangements because jazz chords are simply fascinating to listen.

I was also experimenting with an alternate camera angle, which is a bit lower than my usual right side angle. The overview of the keys are gone but as a compensation, you can observe my hand positioning much better. But I think I still prefer the old camera angle, so I will return to the old one starting with the next video.

We Are! is another candidate for my top 10 most difficult arrangements I have ever made, because of the fast runs and the risky octave jump at the final chorus. It looks like I have to update my top 10 most difficult arrangements list again soon...

Well then, thank you for all your support over these years! This video also serves as a 700k subscribers milestone special and I am happy to see how the anime pianist community has been developing over the past 4 years. It's really fascinating to see the different styles of each arranger, and the many ways to arrange the same song on the piano.
I hope more people will become interested into the anime piano genre in the future.

Until next time!
