Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai (Slam Dunk OP1) (Intermediate Piano Solo)-BAAD

🎹 Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai (君が好きだと叫びたい) from Slam Dunk, composed by Yoshio Tatano and arranged for solo piano by ToriKeys.

"I Want to Shout That I Love You": the first opening of the 1993 Slam Dunk anime, about Hanamichi Sakuragi's impulsive, sincere love for Haruko and the passion for basketball it sparks.

I wanted this arrangement to keep the original's drive: playful verses, then a full, bright chorus, with the intro, the transitions and the ending of the band version kept.

It is a 133-bar piece in 4/4 at about 142 BPM (about 3:45, 6 pages). The right hand follows the vocal line closely, and the left hand carries the bass and drum momentum with eighth notes and some octaves.

A practice MIDI at 75% speed is included. Watch the performance video to see if it suits your level.

I hope you enjoy listening, and playing it too!
