Track round-up June 2023

I'm back from vacation! And with that, here's the delayed June package. I'm sorry I wasn't able to deliver it sooner but I hope the substantial album release (YLiA - The Complete Piano Collection) helped. I was struggling to finish both that and Kanata Haluka before I left. The last day I was working for 16-18 hours before heading right out the door to the airport. But I made it! A new Japan blog post will be going up shortly, and I will post Kanata Haluka here next month.

This month leans heavily on Your Lie in April and challenging pieces. Kirameki is a faithful recreation of the official acoustic version, while Orange is derived from the full pop version of the song, I even included the guitar solo! I put much work and love into these pieces, so I hope it shines through. Resound! is not simple either, but it's more manageable than the other two aforementioned pieces. The Kanata Haluka I offer here is the accompaniment version, and works best alongside a band and/or a singer. I spent a good month or two putting this together for our cover, look out for that on the page soon! However, I will create a solo arrangement for it as well. Finally, my Avid arrangement is a piano solo version originally titled VIII VI-i. I've recreated the notes faithfully, but the tempo is rubato and up to interpretation. It's a great piece for intermediate players, as with all of the pieces that Sawano himself plays on piano, they're nothing too crazy. Without further ado, here they are:

-Kirameki (Your Lie in April) - Difficult
-Orange (Your Lie in April) - Difficult
-Resound! (Your Lie in April) - Intermediate
-Kanata Haluka (Suzume, accompaniment) - Intermediate
-Avid (86, Ballad ver.) - Intermediate

As usual the zip includes MP3, MIDI, MUS and PDF files. Keep in mind that the difficulty is only an estimation, but there is a separate Patron tier if you'd like me to make an easier version of an arrangement. Remember that you can always reach me on Patreon messages for questions :) See you next time!
