Sparkle 【Movie Ver.】- Kimi no Na wa [Piano Sheet Music] /「君の名は。」ピアノ楽譜

[Sheets and midi below~]
Hi guys =3


I've been inactive these past few months, due to various circumstances, like music composition in college , anime band performances and another upcoming Anime Orchestra performance of which i'm playing in later that's going to be live-streamed! (i'll paste the link if anyone's interested)

About Kimi no Na Wa
I was, undoubtedly in awe with this movie. I will re-watch this again once the full release is out, because it's just that good! Makoto Shinkai does what a lot of directors don't, which is connecting all the fragile elements in a film and turning it into an emotional field trip that sustains itself through the movie. Additionally, RADWIMPS, a band which I have never heard of until kimi no na wa, just surprises me with their extremely simplified, totally normal sounding soundtracks into this movie. They're use of the guitars and vocals were the most noticeable for me, it's just mysteriously captivating.

About this arrangement
Sparkle, starts with minimalism, and it continues for minutes and minutes to come. Although i'm not a fan of minimalism one bit, Radwimps has enticed me with their gradual shift with dynamics and especially, the rhythm. Because of that, It forces me to be inventive in various ways, difficult.. I will release a more simplified version after today.

Correct me though, but Yojiro (the vocalist), is singing in-between triplet counts, as seen in the sheet, which gives this piece, so much more depth to it than what you'll conventionally hear in music (I might have notated this wrongly? I'm not even sure anymore haha!)
His voice is perfectly balanced for all the kimi-no-na-wa OSTs.

If you plan to watch Kimi no na wa, I encourage you to watch it with a bunch of friends, I had so much fun with my orchestra mates as we cried, laugh, jumped in anticipation during the entire length of the film. Also, let me know of how you enjoy the sound quality of this upload as compared to my others, i've had major issues bouncing them from logic because Pearl Concert Grand just emits weird static when the dynamics is less than pianisimo (very soft). Additionally, I was trying to achieve a sound balance comfortable to the ears in this upload, so that the repeated B, C# and F# notes don't sound too jarring or too sharp.

Trivia
-This took a total of 3.5 weeks to arrange, lots of in-between procrastination and self-contempt because It didn't felt "good" enough, music composition lecturer also dislikes conventional music, so my mindset has been very post-modern style.
-I originally wanted to upload this on Sunday evening, but then I had a fresh new idea for the ending, so bloop
-I'm constantly trying to make my arrangements sound more "human" and less robotic, because that's the tendency of MIDI based arrangements.
-Audio rendering on Monday gave me tons of headaches, because of the huge static in background
-I have had at least 17 Vegas pro crashes when trying to edit this compilation
-After Effects was not kind, I needed to wait 20 seconds to preview what the animations would've been like, therefore, I had to pre-render the audio spectrum, the time spectrum and the original source, finally compiling it seperately.
I was very OCD with the the thumbnail.

That's all I have for now, my next upload will probably be an original composition i'm working on for music composition which i'm taking this semester. (btw though, I love comments on my vids, it gives me motivation to create more of these sheets knowing that someone will watch it, I think all creators feel that way)
