終わりの世界から-麻枝准

It's here. I finally uploaded the piano cover of Owari no Sekai Kara.

This song is not from an anime, but it's a track from the album "Owari no hoshi no Love Song" by Jun Maeda and Yanagi Nagi.

After months of delay, days of sleepless nights, countless moments of frustration, dropping and un-dropping it several times, this transcription was actually destined to fail and ultimately land in my "dropped transcriptions" folder.

But... I just.. didn't want to give up so easily.

Because I really wanted to make it happen. I know that countless people are waiting for this. I mean, I made a big announcement to transcribe Owari no sekai kara on Facebook after all, and I don't want to disappoint everyone.

But I just couldn't finish the sheet. I was lacking inspiration. Because this song is pretty straightforward, it doesn't leave any room for fancy piano techniques or transcription ideas.

After countless trial and error, I became frustrated and I decided to just upload a very basic and uninspired sheet of Owari no sekai kara.

However, things have changed after my journey in LA.

When we had the fan-meetup on 12th April, I was amazed to meet all the people, who came all the way to LA, just to see me and Ishter in person. I was happy to see, how much they enjoyed my piano covers, how much I inspired them.

And that's where I finally gained the inspiration to complete the sheet. I completely re-edited the sheet from the scratch and was working every night on this transcription.

I made quick progress and the sheet was almost finished in a few days. As a finishing touch, I added a variation of the main theme - heavily inspired by a Chopin sonata - in the final page of the sheet. Suddenly, the melody is played in a major key!

You ask me why I did that?

Hm... maybe.. just a hunch, but I have a feeling, that the sheet was trying to tell me: "You did it! Thank you so much for not forgetting me in the dropped folder! Thank you for not giving up!"

And that's why I added the final part, known as "good - end".

Well, I think that's the entire story behind the creation of this sheet.
