Silhouette - Naruto Shippuden OP16 [Piano]

Silhouette is by far one of my favorite opening songs of the 20 OP songs from Naruto Shippuuden and despite being more than half a decade old, the catchiness of the chorus in Silhouette just never wears off. And before I noticed it I couldn't stop listening to this piece over and over again.

Luckily, the original piece by KANA-BOON is played in D-major and my improvisation level is at the highest in this particular key. I used to improvise contrapuntal pieces during my conservatory years and I always used D-major because it just "feels right". Also, many of my favorite classical music pieces are also written in D-major (the most famous example would be the Canon in D-major by Pachelbel).

I think this arrangement is one of the most challenging arrangements I have uploaded in 2020 because of the polyphonic structure (two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody) I have been using for this piece. Especially the secondary melody in the chorus in 01:05 was a real challenge to play, because you have to play two independent voices with only one hand. The second chorus in 02:02 also features a secondary melody, but this time it's being played by the left hand only.

Overall, I had a lot of fun arranging Silhouette because it reminded me of the Bach pieces I have practiced in the past and I was always fascinated by Bach's polyphonic structure and his brilliant counter melodies. I also started to listen to more classical music as well recently while arranging Silhouette for the piano. And once again I am reminded, why classical music will forever remain timeless because I always get inspired by it, no matter how often I listen to it.

Well then, thank you for listening my piano arrangement! It's time for me to continue watching my Anime backlog and I am curious which song I am going to work on next.

Until next week then!

Blows my mind that it only takes you one week to compose, memorize, rehearse and perform flawlessly for the upload. You are a "genius" as they say in anime

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

This is one of Naruto's more iconic and unforgettable openings.


It's the quintessential example of an immaculate opening.

歌詞です(日本語)
いっせーのーせで踏み込むゴーライン
僕らは何も何もまだ知らぬ
一線越えて振り返るともうない
僕らは何も何もまだ知らぬ

うだってうだってうだってく
煌めく汗がこぼれるのさ

覚えてないこともたくさんあっただろう
誰も彼もシルエット
大事にしてたもの、忘れたフリをしたんだよ
なにもないよ、笑えるさ

いっせーのーで、思い出す少年
僕らは何もかもを欲しがった
わかってるって、あぁ気づいてるって
時計の針は日々は止まらない

奪って奪って奪ってく
流れる時と記憶
遠く遠く 遠くになって

覚えてないこともたくさんあっただろう
誰も彼もシルエット
恐れてやまぬこと、知らないフリをしたんだよ
なにもないよ、笑えるさ

ひらりとひらりと舞ってる
木の葉の様に憂うことなく焦燥もなく過ごしていたいよ

覚えてないこともたくさんあったけど
きっとずっと変わらないものがあることを
教えてくれたあなたは消えぬ消えぬシルエット
大事にしたいもの持って大人になるんだ
どんな時も離さずに守り続けよう
そしたらいつの日にか
なにもかもを笑えるさ

ひらりとひらりと舞ってる
木の葉が飛んでゆく

Everyone, even him, becoming mere silhouettes
We've pretended to forget the things we held dear,
So we can just laugh and say it's nothing.

As we count together, we all remember:
We wanted to have it all.
I know... ahh, I've noticed...
The hands on the clock... these days... can't be stopped.
Fighting, fighting, fighting for ownership,
Time and memories flow,
Getting further, further, further away...

There would have been a lot of things I did not remember
Everyone, even him, becoming mere silhouettes
Everything we've worried about, we've tried to sweep under the carpet,
So we can just laugh and say it's nothing.

Lightly, nimbly, they dance...
Just like those leaves, having a singular purpose, I want to proceed without impatience.

There are probably a lot of things we don't remember
I certainly have something unchanged
You taught me that Silhouette never disappears
I will become an adult with what I want to take care of
Let's keep defending without letting it go
Then one day
Everything can be laughable

Lightly, nimbly, they dance...
Just like those leaves

[izzatmadiev]

Animenz in my point of view you are truly legend pianist
