Hello everyone, I am here today with some very sad news. I am currently enrolled in a music conservatory in Germany but because of my Youtube activity (which I kept a secret from everyone), my practice time for classical musical has drastically decreased and my piano professor has also noticed that. I admitted that I was playing "Anime pop music" in my free time, and my piano professor told me to either take classical piano music seriously and cease all the "nonsense" activities, or he won't teach me anymore.

After hearing this I was really heartbroken, but I can understand his point. I am here to study classical music after all and "Anime piano music" will never be acknowledged by professionals. It was really hard but after thinking for a long time, I thought that quitting Youtube to focus on my studies was the better choice.

But I want to do one last arrangement before I depart from Youtube because I wanted the world to hear my piano music, wanted to leave something behind. So I created a special piano cover of My Dearest, the first opening of Guilty Crown.

This is one of my longest and technically most demanding pieces I've ever written and I've used all my musical knowledge to create this piece. I took a new approach and added many original materials to make the piano cover not sound like a piano cover, but as a standalone piano piece. With other words, I wanted to create a bridge between the classical music world and the pop music world. It's a summary of my love for the Anime piano and I wanted to give it a new meaning, taking it to the next level. Maybe one day... Anime piano will recognized by the world.

Well then everyone, thank you for listening to my last arrangement. Maybe I can return to Youtube again in the future. I will miss you guys.
