My Dearest (罪恶王冠 OP)-Supercell

It was a piano arrangement of Hikari no Senritsu, the opening song of Sora no Woto.

But one specific type of music had always fascinated me since my teenage years: Anime OPs and EDs. And therefore the idea was born: to create my own YouTube channel dedicated to Anime piano arrangements only.

But even 10 years later, the core idea of this YouTube Channel - Animenz Piano Sheets - hasn't changed at all: it is and it will always be about Anime piano arrangements.

With the 10th anniversary around the corner, I knew exactly which song I would upload: "My Dearest" - the OP song of Guilty Crown. Because back in 2013, when I was having a dark time period in my life, this was the piece that showed me the possible future of Anime piano. It was an experiment, a prototype for a new type of music: By combining classical music elements with Japanese anime music, I have managed to create something new on my own.

Without this piece, "Animenz" wouldn't be what it is today.

For this channel's 10th Anniversary, I have decided to rearrange "My Dearest" by merging both the earlier 2013 arrangement with additional enhancements inspired by the original "My Dearest" song from Supercell. This new version serves as a culmination of everything I have learnt in the past 10 years of creating piano arrangements, starting from my 2011-2013 era when I was still using a lot of classical music references to the current 2017-2020 era with my own orchestral arrangement style. This is the definitive, final version of "My Dearest".

Last but not least, I have also included a personal message for the listeners by adding the final Coda part at 6:58. This is my way to say "Thank you for these 10 years. Thank you for making my dream come true - by being an Anime pianist".
