HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, I will have to ask you guys again - I have done two songs from the last song request post, now I'd like to do it again :D
Please comment the songs you want to hear in 2018! (I'm almost done with Umaru-chan OP hahaha)
I'll consider songs that have the most votes~
Hey guys! I just want to say, thanks for the support from Patrons!
This video is actually not able to be monetized due to YouTube's new copyright system, so your support means more than ever. Until the start of my concerts, I would realistically rely on Patreon for financial support - so I will be working hard to give you guys content!
To those on the $25 and $50 tiers, thank you thank you thank you! I know that's a lot of cash, and I hope to give you guys the rewards when I start uploading monthly~
Thanks, and Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!~
Next upload is Umaru-chan OP lolol
Here's the easy version of Evangelion OP! Let me know if it's too easy or too hard, I will adjust for preference~

Hey guys! This will be my last project for 2017.
I'm working on Umaru-chan OP for 2018~

Alright, new recording for a couple of reasons:
1.) Hard drive crash -_-
2.) I was gonna re-record anyway because the Steinway full version recording wasn't satisfying. Full version arrangement is too thinly spread, and the audio quality was meh.
I'm hoping that the Singapore concert on the 16th will re-ignite my love for YouTube anime piano recordings. For me, recording piano videos (ESPECIALLY with always having technical difficulties in recording with a broken MIDI strip on the grand piano) has made proper recording very difficult to achieve.
I have lost my passion in recording videos, but actually quite excited in experiencing and learning more about live performance.

Hey guys! Evangelion was part of the request lists and was one of the top as well, so I've made it for Patreon!
This also serves as a trial run for my Steinway recording. I'm not used to playing on Steinway, and this recording has been very productive in a sense that I got to know Steinway pianos a lot more~
My transcribers will be starting on the sheets soon, hopefully to have it next week (easy version as well!)

How to learn by ear, and various stuff my new teacher has taught me :3
gimme a couple mins tho lol
https://youtu.be/Dt6siOakgZ0
Hey guys, I will be streaming on the 28th. It'll mostly be about how to learn by ear, since that's one of the rewards for reaching $2000!
I will also share my training for the Singapore concert this December, which my new teacher helped me with~
See you then!
Hey guys! Look, I feel really really guilty for rushing the video upload of Catch The Moment, when my staff weren't ready to make sheets which caused a delay in rewards. I don't think you guys deserve that at all.
This was completely my fault for rushing it, and thus: The next upload (Uchiage Hanabi) will be completely free for you guys, so that I can make up to you my shortcomings. I'll be paying my transcribers out of pocket this time, and I hope this could make up for my crappy organizing :(

Hey guys, sheets and other files are done! The transcribers have been working hard despite their school/work schedule, so big thanks to them for providing it~
Easy sheets/midi/synthesia coming soon!

Hey guys, as an apology for the delays in SAO: Catch The Moment arrangement rewards (sheets, easy version, synthesia, etc.), the next upload will be free for you guys!
1.) Synthesia and Sheets coming real soon, as well as the easy version! My transcribers are about to finish the sheets~
2.) Tried to find a grand piano to record on, but my city here in Canada is so pathetic with music and art... I'm still continuing my search.
3.) October plans:
a. Uchiage Hanabi (by request from patrons)
b. Unravel 2017 full version
c. Patreon-Only Stream on how to learn and arrange by ear
Here's the early access files! My transcribers are working on the sheets and easy version as I post this~

I know no one wants to read these. It's quite negative... but I still have to let it out. I want to get better - for you guys, and for the people around me. I want to give you guys positive energy.
That's why I want to solve this as soon as I can. I'm going to therapy, I'm going to therapeutic massage, I'm practicing meditation, eating good food, exercising, hoping that I can be back to normal.
----
I'll be recording SAO OST - Catch The Moment on my piano at home tomorrow. I can't find any grand pianos to record on here in Canada, it's frustrating.
I wish Canada would spend more time and money on arts and music. It's the soul that which inspires people to create and progress.
Hey guys! The arrangement for Catch The Moment is almost done~ I really love this song the more I listened to Lisa sing it. I haven't really seen the movie, but I love Lisa so I'm fine with that lol.
The video will be recorded either at my university music hall, or the Steinway in the city three hours away.
Either way, it's going to be played on a real grand piano :3 I plan to make it that way for most if not all of my future videos.
Stay tuned!

SAO Ordinal Scale - Catch The Moment
Thank you for all your requests, and thank you for putting up with my lack of motivation~ I'll be starting to work to arrange this song for this month!!

Hey guys, here's the big announcement.
Patreon releases will now be based on REQUESTS! So yes, under this post, comment now on what song you want me to arrange next!
Patreon posts will also be exclusive and will not be released in public. I will be doing other videos on YouTube (it will now be improvisation).
Patreon = private uploads, requested by you!
YouTube = improvisation, simpler arrangements, no sheets
By. The. Way. I still haven't done the tutorial to learn by ear, or the easy version of History Maker, or the diary entry for my $50 supporters...
MY MOTIVATION RIGHT NOW IS ON AN ALL TIME LOW. I think I need a vacation, to be honest. I know a lot of you are waiting for the easy version and the tutorial on how to learn by ear.
I'm sorry guys. I'll make it up to you. But this time, I think I need a bit of rest.
I've been trying to record the easy version for the past three days.
Sometimes my hands are just too fucking stubborn to record anything properly... I just look at them in disappointment.
I think I'm burned out. -_-
Don't worry, all the rewards will still be the same. But, it will be much better. I seriously think you all will be satisfied with this change, mwahahahaha!
Stuff is always changing since I'm always learning~ Stay tuned!!

Hey guys, the YT arrange sheets, midi, and synthesia is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/yuri-on-ice-op-14000222
Easy version coming in a couple of days!
August diary entry coming up next week.
And, I have a new VST and want to try a new video style so I will do a livestream next week to have you guys check it out :3
The transcribers have done a really excellent job with the sheets this time, so I hope you guys enjoy it~
The transcribers have done a great job with this one!
I'll be doing the easy version the next couple of days.
MIDI and sheets attached, and here's the synthesia: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxh54Vo_AxZRbjV0Z0k4Q3NHcmc
Enjoy!
Hey guys, I've been busy with communicating to the guys at Singapore for the concert in December (and possible convention performance in New York City), so my schedule will be quite full.
If I miss something, please let me know - I keep track of the posts myself, so a one-man job will always have something go wrong lol.

mp3 and flac attached~
Transcribers might take a while to do the sheets again, a lot of runs. I'll work on the easy version this week, but I might just do the audio instead of the video if I don't have time.
I'm also delayed on the tutorial on learning by ear, I apologize. Hard to prioritize it with all that's happening :(
Hey guys. A bit of a different situation for this one. I was hoping that the cover would gain traction, but with a mix of bad timing and a YouTube bug where the video doesn't gain much views if the video is published from unlisted to public, I have decided to give the sheets and files for free.
I'll be paying my transcribers out of pocket. I don't want my patrons to pay for something that people aren't that interested in.
Next video will be about in one and a half weeks, and it's Yuri on Ice.
I'll be posting an August diary entry for my top patrons as well - I have a lot on my mind right now and I think you guys should hear it.
Sheets and MIDI below.

Hey guys! This is a bit weird. I recorded just yesterday and I uploaded today.
DO NOT WORRY. I will not charge you until you get the sheet music and other files such as mp3/flac.
I will also give all of you, and everyone in the public, the sheet music and all the files. It's free for everyone in exchange for this weird/early release of the video.
Thanks, and please look forward to the sheets :3
I remember uploading it as an attachment, but for some reason it didn't attach on the last post.
Here's the sheets and I apologize for the inconvenience :(
Finally! I'm sorry for the wait everyone, here it is~

Happy learning!!
Hey guys, I apologize for the delay. As mentioned before, all three of my transcribers are in vacation currently, but even then they are trying to make the sheet music and easy files on the road.
I've received info that the sheets are 3/4 done, and will be given to my quality control transcriber afterwards to clean it up.
After, I'll upload the easy sheets with the easy midi and easy synthesia. Until then, I hope you'll look forward to it!
Practicing repertoire for upcoming conventions, then gonna record the easy version of Peace Sign after the live stream!
