Sheet music, mp3, and FLAC audio are attached below.
Will be charging for this, will be uploading only maybe a couple of times per year, but if you decide it's not worth it, I completely understand. I have deep appreciation still, thank you!

What I really enjoyed about Attack on Titan is it demonstrated in its own way the question: "what if you're not the person who you think you are?"
Questions like
"What if I'm not as good a person as I thought I was?" "What if I'm a hypocrite?" "What if everything I believed about myself and the world was utterly wrong?"
For me, what I took away from the show is that it is very important to believe that I am wrong and that I'm indeed a hypocrite, and everything I believe is utterly wrong.
But it's also the next layer after that.
Even if I'm a hypocrite, even if everything I believe about myself and the world is completely wrong, I still wont give up.
Yeah, I know I will always be a hypocrite, as with all of us human beings, but there is meaning in always trying to not be, until the day I die.
I wont be self righteous. I wont try to justify. I wont excuse. I wont attack others. I fucking refuse to do so.
I'll take responsibility. I'll have personal accountability. I will carry all the mistakes, and still try moving forward, as imperfect as I may be. I will continue to make mistakes, and I will be humble and do my best to atone for them.
Four years is a long long time. My need to leave and pursue other things, I have my reasons of course. But I also accept the consequences of that.
Consequences mean accepting that people will lose interest, people will feel anger or resentment because of how I just disappeared.
I don't want to make excuses for it, and want to say that if you do feel this way, it is valid.
Will I lose most of my followers because of my hiatus? If the answer is yes, it is for me to accept and carry. I believe that I have no right to feel entitled or righteous. I want to be accountable for the choices I've made.
I finally pursued a different career, but that doesn't mean my love for anime, music, and sharing has disappeared.
I can now afford to not focus on views, subs, algorithm... I've come to hate how YouTube has developed. It's now about how to gain as much views by gaming the algorithm, thumbnails, title, content...
I definitely understand that this is reality, I completely understand and accept that. I do not reject it because that would be delusional. But of course, I wanted to have the choice to be able to be free from that, and I think I've done that.
I'll only now play, arrange, transcribe, and upload things that truly matter to me. I wish to only upload when I truly feel connected to the music, and that I want to share with you all. I want to focus on shared experiences where you guys and I can relive emotions.
I always prefer a win-win, rather than get swept by the "zero sum" of our culture today. I always think, "can the other person benefit too, and not just me?"
I'll be uploading something soon, and I hope that it can reignite some of the lost experiences we've had from these past years.
Hey guys, for the past two weeks I have been 100% focusing on the AMC stock. I feel like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I don't want to waste it or take it for granted so I am giving it all of my attention.
I should be back making music (perhaps for free) in a month's time!
Meanwhile, enjoy the two sheets - I wont be charging anyone for it this month~
Beautiful transcription by Andrew, I get giddy looking at it lmao
This one's a challenge to play and if you don't mind the slight alterations from the original, then it could be an enjoyable learning experience! We've got the sheets here transcribed by Andrew as well as the 50 and 100 percent speed Synthesia for your convenience~
Trying my best to enjoy the process and tbh it's working so far. I'm choosing songs that I really like to listen to and just going with it - it also happens that Attack on Titan Season 4 is very popular, but I'm not too sure it's going to help much with the algorithm.
Hmm, even choosing what the next song to attempt to arrange is exciting for me now. Maybe some old Genshin Impact songs? Who knows, I'll do some searching! If you have suggestions that I should look into, please comment them below as well~
Here's the early release up top, and the audio files below!
Andrew is doing the sheet music for this one, and will be out shortly 😊
I loved arranging this even more than I did the YAOSOBI one, which I think is a good sign! I'm really enjoying arranging the soundtrack stuff because it caters to my style.
I just started arranging a soundtrack piece from Attack on Titan Season 4. It's going to be a challenge but man I gotta say - figuring out how to make a "big" sound using dynamics and slurs is such an enjoyable experience to me, which is a big reason why I loved arranging this Nier piece so much in the first place.
Stay tuned for the Attack on Titan arrangement (probably gonna finish arranging and recording in two weeks or so). Meanwhile, enjoy the sheets for this Nier arrangement!!
Just finished recording/editing/uploading this next arrangement! It will go live on YouTube tomorrow~
I'm truly in love with the soundtrack of this game. It was years ago when I haven't even played the game - I've only listened to the soundtrack on YouTube.
I hope it comes across on the recording how much I connect to this soundtrack. Sheets will be out in a timely manner (hopefully!).
The audio files are below for your listening pleasure. I'll also upload this on Spotify and various platforms shortly!
Thanks everyone for your support - I've gone back to uploading again and honestly I'm enjoying it currently.
For my own preference, I really liked how this arrangement turned out. When arranging, I couldn't stop practicing the middle sections.
Right now, I'm also arranging another song but this time it's from Nier: Replicant. It's just in time because the re-release of the game has just gone public! I think about 3 or 4 years ago or something, I bought the Piano Collections of Nier: Replicant even without having played the game or know about the series only because I stumbled across the soundtrack on YouTube and completely fell in love with it.
This time, I'll be arranging a track from Nier: Replicant - not from the Piano Collections but my own rendition of it. I'm refining sections of the arrangement and should be good to record next week!!
Here's the links to all the YOASOBI related content:
Always grateful that you guys are willing to support my work here on Patreon. It's a big part of my livelihood and I hope I can keep the uploads going for a while!!
Apologies for not providing too much content, but I'm back from my break.
I'd like to publish consistently - even if it's slow sometimes. Thank you so much for being here and supporting my music!!
I hope you can look forward to the sheets. The different time signature in the middle of the arrangement is one of my favorite sections to play and practice. It doesn't even feel like practice anymore. When using this time signature, my hands feel so natural playing it.
Hey guys! For the time being, I will be taking a break from Youtube and Patreon for a month or two (or three lol). I don't think I'll be making an announcement on YouTube since I feel it's not needed, but I think you guys should know here on Patreon.
I will be doing other things that will recharge my soul, and hopefully come back with enthusiasm like I used to!
If you have questions, comment below and I'll try to answer!
Do not worry, Patreon will NOT charge you when I don't upload anything 👍
Thanks once again for everyone's support! Continuing on, it seems like once a month transcription/upload for me is the future I'm envisioning. It's more of a "hobby" type of music career and I can sustain myself this way for the time being!
Sometime in the future, I'd like to start teaching piano though so that I can pass down the lessons I've learned from my experience on the piano: how I play, how I arrange, my mindset, I'm sure will help a lot of people out for those interested to learn from me.
Meanwhile, I appreciate everyone who's sticking with me even with the plateau. Completely happy right now in my stage of life, no regrets, and I'm glad that you guys are here with me~
The sheets, synthesia, and MIDI files are now available! Thanks to maDwaZz for the transcription and synthesia videos - making it very easy for you guys to learn the transcription.
Finally, this is something I really enjoy listening to this season.
Next month, I will be playing an Animenz arrangement. Please stay tuned for it~
Re:Zero Season 2 Part 2 starts off with such hope, intensity, and heart warming scenes.
We're watching it on the discord server every wednesday btw! If you want to join in, there's a "Weeb Watchers" role you can ask for and have access to the livestream we do every week for Re:Zero~

Flac and Mp3 files are attached below! MIDI/Sheets/Synthesia is being done by maDwaZz and will be posted here when finished!!
Thanks for your support this 2020! Patreon is one of my income sources and the fact that you guys are here is a big reason of why I can make music full time.
There are plenty of plans for 2021. I will keep on uploading perhaps twice a month, but in between I will be uploading "talking" videos where I explore topics that might be controversial or that I strongly believe in! I want it to help my YouTube channel's algorithm, but also provide useful information (or entertainment) for my fans.
Man even now I'm still listening to the original song. And even better, there's like an official piano version accompaniment with aimer's singing and I'm crying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaYBkfF6U9U
Hey guys, second release hopefully this December (first one was Homura from Demon Slayer).
Here in Canada (and in my city) the third movie was released. I've watched the first two with a friend last month as well.
My god, ufotable produces some great quality anime. I feel that this trilogy is one of the best that I've enjoyed as anime movie trilogies go. I hope ufotable remakes the original Fate/Stay Night Saber route! That would be FANTASTIC. IMAGINE THE FIGHT SCENES AKJR:ODHFO:SHGOHS:GO
Personally the third movie's ending theme by Aimer is the best out of all three movie endings as well.
Hey guys, I'll be posting content on Patreon that is a bit delayed in the next couple of days. Don't worry, this month (and future months) will only be charged once as per usual.
Missing content that I'd like to upload this december: - Ultra Instinct: MIDI, flac/mp3 - Persona OST: MIDI, flac/mp3 - Blooming in the Mud: MIDI, flac/mp3, synthesia, sheets
I've also just watched Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel 3 in the theatres, and currently practicing the ending theme of that. Hope to post soon!
Great song, but I feel that I didn't give it too much justice. Love love love the original though.
I will take a break next week to work on a song from Made in Abyss movie. I have a bit of a higher standard for that arrangement, so I will see if I can create a good one in two weeks time, and taking my time while arranging - no rushing this time.
