I really enjoy Jay Chou's pieces. In fact back when I was still in high school, preparing for Form 3 PMR papers, I would just spam out the YouTube playlist of his pieces. Everything back then was a golden piece to my enjoyment, especially those with piano background and accompaniment like 不能说的秘密, 轨迹 and 安静. 

Damn those were the times. Those were the times when each of his pieces were SOOOOO GOOD. Even today, although they might not have as much of those sentimental elements anymore, they are still so so good. 

The first modern piece that I really really enjoyed was 大笨钟 Big Ben. Oh ohohohoh there's also 明明就，and 告白气球！！ AHHHHHHH!!!! There's so many pieces that I didn't cover!!! Oh NOOOOOOOOO! 算什么男人 was one that I did, then there was 不该 and 等你下课 .... 

Ahh, I really really should listen and play more Jay Chou piano pieces...

For 说好不哭 Won't Cry, it reminded me of those good ol' days when Jay Chou was producing mass hits, and his voice is soo soo good at bringing back nostalgia. I mean, I grew up listening to Jay Chou's pieces as the source of musicality. It was his songs that inspired me to play piano again. Inspired me to live a better person as a result from watching his Secret movie, where in a line it was mentioned "多听音乐，当个普通的人". Well I don't mean to be normal as in SO normal and mediocre, but the essence was listening to his music had a positive change in me. I practiced his pieces, his songs, printed out his piano sheets and all... and hey, today, I'm making my own sheets of his songs!

It feels.... like I have come really far from where I started from.... And I ought to be happy with my progress and growth as a pianist. Now I'm not sure if you guys know, but I don't think I deserve the title pianist because I've met reall professional pianists and to call myself one would be to diminish their abilities. However in this case, I've improved, and am closer to being able to accept to call myself a "mini-pianist" hehehe

For this I am grateful for all of the support. I wish to have more time playing piano, honing my skills, playing more pieces that I enjoy, and also hope to be able to make some money out of it. In fact i think its because of my Jay Chou piano videos that kicked off my channel, and I'd like to carry on making his videos =)

Weathering With You

Ohhhh looks like its been quite a while since I last came here...?

Weathering With You has been catching the nation by the storm (or the haze if you'd prefer that way). And as a result we have something like this: 

HAZING WITH YOU!

Damn those corporate companies burning off their asses to cut costs. If only it were so much more literal, that wouldn't have resulted in this stupid haze.

BACK TO THE TOPIC: Weathering With You
I've finally watched the movie, and I gotta say I enjoyed it very much! I've had some friends who said "Mehhh Weathering With You was disappointing", "WWY was not as good as Kimi No Nawa" etc... I enjoyed both movies differently: Your Name/ Kimi No Nawa had more touching story plot, while WWY had more powerful OSTs. Zen Zen Zense was more pumped, but WWY has Grand Escape. You want sad sappy songs? There's Nandemonaiya in Your Name, and WWY has What Else Can Love Do and We'll Be Alright! Both Your Name and Weathering With You were awesome for their strengths. And all these were only possible thanks to Makoto Shinkai and RADWIMPS. They really fit and complement each other's crafts so well. Makoto Shinkai provided the foreground story of the movies, and RADWIMPS brought out the emotions from the scenes. And this is why anime song is simply the better genre compared to most modern genre. Fight me if you disagree. I'll wait. 

Oh let's not forget too: I didn't shed a tear when watching Your Name, but there were tears shed for Weathering With You heheheheh

Overall I'm so satisfied for having watched Weathering With You for only RM8, and it felt to be the best movie ticket I have ever bought with my own money. Really really a masterpiece to be enjoyed. Its truly truly a beautiful anime movie. 

Right, this time around I've prepared 3 videos already before this post came to be, and I'll insert ALL of them here in this post.

Angel's Last Mission Love OST Piano Collection

Angel's Last Mission Love OST Piano Collection Have I not made it obvious that I'm absolutely into this drama? Even though it's officially over, and that there's already a proper closure to the story, I still am re-watching it from the start, something I haven't done for my anime series. That's just how deeeeeeep I am into Angel's Last Mission. Ooops. This would be the first of the very first K Drama Piano Collection I have ever done. Had I caught on to the drama a few weeks earlier, probably this piano collection would not have even existed. Angel's Last Mission has, seriously, the best OSTs ever I have ever listened to in terms of drama genre. But I didn't have time to make individual videos/sheets for it, so i thought I'd do Something I haven't done for a Piano Collection series: a Piano Collection series for K Drama =) Angel's Last Mission Piano Collection, it contains ALMOST all of the OSTs in the first Album apart from Pray, simply because I didn't like Pray due to it being sooooooooooooooo angsty.... I want the feel good emotions! Not the turmoil! so I didn't pick that piece into this Piano collection. The Piano Collection ain't perfect, but it's simple enough to follow =) It encapsulates my love for Angel's Last Mission, and if there's one lesson that i learnt from this drama, is that there is beauty in ballet (art) that I did not have the experience to enjoy. I would LOVE to express the beauty of all my piano pieces better. I want to express myself more effectively using my piano, using my compositions, and using the OSTs as a medium to portray the beauty of music, piano and art. Just as how the drama portrayed the beauty of ballet. After watching Angel's Last Mission, I truly felt that I haven't given much care and attention to the other Korean pieces that I've done. They were all lacking the degree of response and love I have towards Angel's Last Mission. They all didn't have emotions in it. I also felt that the emotions that K Dramas can bring, while to some degree it is simply TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, they do make you feel... human. Comparing K Dramas to my anime series, I now see that both are insanely powerful if done correctly and properly. Anime taught me to fight for my ideals, while K Dramas, for this case is Angel's Last Mission, remind me that I'm still human, and that I should also take into account the emotions that I might have buried in my fight for my ideals. Combining these two influences, I now am more open to K Dramas, and am hoping to be able to produce more K Drama related OSTs for my listeners/watchers. I have developed a sense of appreciation for story related OSts, and will give Korean Drama OSTs more attention now. =) Do recommend me good ones ya! Best if they're all as good as Angel's LAst Mission! I trust your recommendations will be good. I hope you enjoy my Angel's Last Mission Love OST Piano collection video. I dedicate Angel's Last Mission Love OST Piano Collection to the production team that made this drama a success, and I would really hope they would win many many awards in the K Drama Award ceremony. Angel's Last Mission Love, DAEBAK! If you'd like the sheets, tell me which one you want. I'll make sure to do my best to prepare them, as this video was made rather... in a improvisational way, so I didn't exactly follow a structured core while playing it. =)

Angel's Last Mission: Love Sheets

Angel's Last Mission: Love... What a lovely story.

If you're here for the sheets: here it is =) Angel's Last Mission: Love OST 1 - A Welcome Rain Lee Moon Sae Piano + Lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c22akEQZX0k&lc=z22ezjh4iyvozh4kfacdp4324dig4hhxfq2qgawbt1dw03c010c

Wanna know how I got into this drama? Read on~


A few months back, I was back home and stumbled upon this drama which my mom mentioned was rather good. Back then I was busy with my work, and didn't heed much, but I watched it anyway with my mom cuz I had some time. And immediately I was hooked by Shin Hye Sun (the main actress of the story), and I vaguely remembered her last drama (which I totally forgotten about it. I can't even remember what drama she acted in, but I knew it wasn't the first time seeing her.) Yea you could say for this drama in particular, the HD TV served more than its purpose. Which well, she was just.. pretty =)

I can't find the picture of the episode that caught my attention, but here's a pic of her =) In the drama she had really long and beautiful hair, which I felt suited her so so well. 

OK so the main thing is this: I was way busy back then, but i watched the 1st episode, got attracted by Shin Hye Sun, stayed to watch her, and after the weekend i went back to Uni again. Note that I had exams then and I didn't have time to watch anything other than my anime (wrong move buddy), but i remembered the drama called Angel's Last Mission (which my mom and I address it as Angel). 

SOO 2 months later (early June), I joined my mom to watch this drama, and again, the nature of the drama being related to art and needing practice resonated within me, and I knew that by then: I was already loving the drama. It was the first time I had actually loved a drama, almost as solidly as I love anime. And when you love something, the feels come in abundance. And here I am, having done a video on this lovely drama called Angel's Last Mission, and writing a post of it. Heck there's even lyrics in the video. That's how much I was willing to work for this video. 

Having fallen so deeply in love with the drama, I couldn't ignore the amazing OSTs they had, BUT I KNEW I WAS LATE. I was late to the party. There would have been many other piano covers already by now, but I wanted to do one. At least one before the series ended. And I chose the first OST: A Welcome Rain. It's a waltz. It's meant to be dance like. But no no no, this waltz is different. This ain't dancing waltz. This is a heart wrenching waltz. It can be so loving till you cry type, but it is also the so sad till you cry type of watlz. The OSTs played in the scenes just drew me closer to the story and I always looked forward to the weekend to watch it. And how I wish I had watched it while preparing for my exams (it'll screw me over though LLOL). 

Sigh... I'm a sucker for such romance stories. Welp. I guess I just am. I love the story and now as it approaches it finale, I can't help but feel a little sense of reluctance to let it go. I'm even rewatching it from the 1st episode. Well, I'll love it the way I can: make a proper video of it, prepare the sheets to share with everyone, and if the community likes my work, I can choose another OST to prepare. Because I just love Angel's Last Mission: Love so so much. So much more than my first K Drama which was Love Rain. 

Here's to a good finale that runs this week! I suppose I'm gonna cry when its done... and I'll descend into PDDS (Post Drama Depression Syndrome). 

Again here's the video

Wishing for a good ending for this drama, and also wishing for a story that I could live in as well =)

Synthesia Music Making

Hi!

I'd like to talk a bit on the Synthesia music that I've been making.

There's alot of people making synthesia music out there, and they're all really amazing. Really. The effects they add in is simply mind blowing. Even I struggle to make the effects that I have now, and they're not even impressive! Rosseau and Patrick, even Funguypiano make amazing videos with their editor, and I don't even know how to do it.

But there's one thing that people can go about using synthesia that bugs me a bit. Since Synthesia is a 'digital player', it will be able to play all the shenanigans that you give it through the MIDI file. This makes people write out insanely difficult pieces to play, hoping that it'll be awesome.

YES, IT WILL BE AWESOME, BECAUSE ITS NOT YOU WHO IS PLAYING!

Synthesia simply reads the instructions and signals put in place within the MIDI file, and of course being a digital reader, it WILL read ALL the instructions. Whether or not it is physically feasible by a player is and never will be Synthesia's concerns. This essentially makes the guy making the Synthesia music not any better a musician himself, but a mixer instead.

How I make my Synthesia tutorials are rather time consuming, because I write + play the the piece first, removing any parts that I cannot physically execute. That concludes the initial part. THEN, when the playing is over, I edit the sheets again to how it was played, or make it better with more accurate notes. This omits any impossible-to-play parts. 

This becomes quite taxing especially when I'm occupied with other work that needs my attention. But, I always strive to improve. My goal right now is to continually research on how to include more amazing visuals on Synthesia, and once more get that satisfaction of learning something new. 

Those channels that overlay the Synthesia part AND their LIVE playing once are simply the best. I really want to do so like them too! 

Anyways, here's the video for this posting. It's the Synthesia Tutorial for Eternal City My Days OP by Konomi Suzuki. If you'd like the sheets, comment in YouTube how and where I should send it =)

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Eternal City OP 永遠的7日之都 Forever 7 Days

Hi.

Looks like there's a new mobile RPG around town!

Presenting: Eternal City! 

Who is this character? She looks like a nice person. =)

As much as I know, this game presents you options to either save or destroy the beloved city, drawing inspiration from Rome. You play as Wielders, the summonable characters, build your harem   team, and grind through levels and levels within 7 in-game days, in which your decisions will result in the salvation or destruction of the city.

I've checked out gameplays, and it really reminded me of some shooting game I was playing on an ancient Samsung tablet, but I've long forgotten the name of it. Its very dynamic and allows for combo streaks one after another and it does look like it'll take up a lot of battery use.

Unlike other gacha games, you get direct control over your unit(s), and their skill-activation push buttons resembles that of mobile legends. As many of you would know by now, I am not too much of a mobile game player. I tend to express interest in one for a period of time, only to later delete it because of memory scarcity. Food Fantasy is sill with me, but it's being a whole 2 months of not touching it because of how much work I had before. Even now when it is literally one click away to obtain the daily sign-in rewards, I can't seem to get back into it =(. I reallly wanna continue.. My Food Souls are waiting...

Anyhow, I plan to give Eternal City 永遠的7日之都 Forever 7 Days a try, and I'll see how much memory can I delete to make space of Eternal City.

Here's my arrangement for Eternal City's OP. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Recommend me some games too!

PS: When was the game first launched? I see on YouTube that have videos a whole year ago! 

Memes and Snapchat gender filter craze

Hi!

I realize I haven't come back here for a long time now, and I'd like to keep this alive! After all, its one of the ways to stay connected to whosoever is fortunate enough to stumble upon this blog =)

You know how memes seem to be part of our lives already? Well I am starting to see more and more memes in my daily life, and it seems a shame if I don't have anywhere to express it. I don't really like to make a lot of noise on Facebook ,and I don't have my own page to put those noise in lol.

So alongside my piano tutorials, you'll start to see some memes that relate to either the current trend or some other nonsense. How did it come to this? I'd say doing my thesis seems to have activated a prespective in my brain that can start appreciating even the slightest of humor. Not sure if that's healthy, but it sure is funny.... to me at least. PogChamp.

Anyway, I have made 2 or 3 meme clips, and they'll belong in a separate playlist away from my music videos. I hope you get to see them, and I hope even MORE that you'll at least giggle at it =D

Here are the 2 videos:

Ultraman Meme:

I was experimenting on some After Effects stuff which led me to the idea of this clip. It took quite some effort to make the Specium Beam effect, and I thought it would be such a waste to just leave it at that. So began the first meme video.

Snapchat Gender Filter:

I don't use Snapchat actually. I only got it to see hwat the gender filter was, and bam, that's how it turned out. I'll be deleting Snapchat soon. I don't see the need to use so many social medias just to be hip. It hogs up phone memory, and serves nothing but extra distraction to the already present stuff on the phone.

There they are: the 2 meme videos. You can safely assume that there'll be more in the future, but don't expect many at once. The main content shall still be my piano videos, and the meme videos shall be a side. Short clips only serve to entertain and nothing else =)

OH by the way, if you really are into beauty stuff ( I doubt you would if you're a guy, but if you're a lady it might be different @@), I'd like to assist a friend's family business by getting the word out that his family runs a store for health and beauty products. 

Here's the link: www.adwayworld.com/MY9898596x 

I highly suggest that anyone seeing this take a peek at their prices. It really is revolutionary. Check it out! It'll also help me too haha. More on the company next time!
