炎（鬼灭之刃：无限列车篇 OST）-LiSA

With that said, let’s move on to Homura「炎」, the Theme Song of the Demon Slayer Movie Mugen Train!『無限列車』. At first I couldn’t believe that Yuki Kajiura was actually the composer of this song, because it sounds very different compared to her usual musical style (lol). But the chorus of Homura is - in my opinion - the single most catchy melody I have heard for a long time. Once you hear it, you can never stop humming this melody.

Arranging a slow-paced song on the piano is always a big challenge for me because there is always a thin line between “boring sound” and "excessive arranging”. I usually try out multiple arrangement versions on the piano until I find the “perfect version” and the more I practice, the more techniques are being added to the arrangement.

However, at one point I realized that I included too many ornaments and they are “distracting” Homura from its main melody. I cut out many unnecessary notes and tried to focus more on dynamic difference between each part. (Still, I wish I could use some kind of vibrato on piano keys to imitate LiSA’s fantastic vocal performance but unfortunately, the piano is not made for that.)
