Brave Shine (Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works OP2)-Aimer

Hello everyone, and welcome to the first upload of this year 2016.

A lot of stuff has happened in January and I struggled a lot with the completion of the Brave shine piano sheet. Thankfully, things got a lot better now because of the invaluable support of my family, my friends, and also you fans.

Basically: I was anxious that I couldn't keep my level of arrangement anymore. I was always wondering whether I have reached my "peak" of arrangement activity already. Whether I can still maintain my arrangement level and improve my "Animenz style".

I know, I shouldn't be bothered by these trivial things, because in the end, it's only the music itself that matters, and not the arrangement style. But still, I really want to give my best for every video I was uploading, and I just couldn't think of a good arrangement for brave shine - an incredible song, loved by many fans in the world.

I really don't want to disappoint the fans - but I also don't want to disappoint myself as well.

Now, several weeks later, this sheet is finally finished. After a month of uncertainty and struggle. This arrangement is one of the "special" arrangement types - similar to my "Hikaru Nara" or "Owari no Sekai Kara" piano cover.

It starts with a slow variation of the chorus, in the higher register of the piano, resembling the sound of a music box from afar. And after many crescendos and diminuendos, the piece finally dies down in a lowest possible register in c-minor, (the dominant of f-minor), with the three final C-notes in the left hand resembling the sound of a bell in a requiem, until the music fades out completely in a piano pianissimo.

This may not be my best arrangement in terms of technique, nor in terms of musicality. But this is definitely one with the most heart because I put my entire soul in this piece. This is basically my very own "Brave Shine".

Well then, with this arrangement finally done, I feel a lot more confident now to arrange more anime song on the piano.

I will continue doing my best.
