心臓を捧げよ！-進撃の巨人

It has finally happened. The Manga of Attack on Titan has ended with its last chapter today.

After 11 years, it has finally come to an end. (This description is spoiler-free, don't worry)

Thank you, Isayama-Sensei, for creating this masterpiece. For giving us epic moments of story development. For breaking our hearts every months. For the all good times.

A few words about this piano arrangement:

Similar to my 「Guren no Yumiya」 (full ver.) piano cover, this arrangement is basically non-stop piano action and the sound can be absolutely massive sometimes, especially during the chorus. It's also one of my top 20 most difficult arrangements, mostly because of the fast speed and the octave spamming everywhere.

The thing I like the most about Sound Horizon is their creativity concerning the song structure. They always love to quote melodies from another song like a mini-medley type of Music. 「Shinzou wo Sasageyo」 for example has a short section of 「Jiyuu no Tsubasa」 in 3:02 and a longer 「Guren no Yumiya」 section in 4:24. It is brilliantly included in the song structure and it serves as a wonderful musical callback at the same time.

The original song has also 4 (!) Instrumental solos during the bridge part and each of them is rising the excitement further and further until the epic climax in 4:24.

First there is the drum in 3:09, then the E-Guitar in 3:33, afterwards a piano solo in 3:57 and finally, a violin solo in 4:09. I tried to imitate each instrument on the piano as good as possible and I ended up arranging at least 20 different versions for each part. I just picked out my best ideas and combined it for the instrumental solo part.

Well then, thank you for reading!

And one more time: a Titan-Sized「THANK YOU」to Isayama-Sensei!
