Mixed Nuts - SPY×FAMILY OP [Piano] / Official Hige Dandism

A very elegant person is playing the piano.
That’s it. That’s the video description.

Coincidentally, the concert outfit I am always wearing for my videos proves to be very useful now and I can finally feel the true meaning of “elegance” for the very first time. Thank you Spy X Family for enlightening me!

「Mixed Nuts」 from Official Hige Dandism is an insanely fun piece to play on the piano and I simply love the groovy bassline of the song. Once again, I tried to combine as many musical elements from the original piece as possible without needing more than 2 hands. (Sometimes I wish I have three hands though)

The beginning part in 0:08 (aka the car chase in the opening animation) is literally chaos incarnate on the piano and honestly, I have no idea what I was actually playing… I actually wanted to smash the keys randomly but at the end I still created some sort of a pattern. I guess the inner perfectionism in me doesn’t allow completely randomized piano patterns after all, haha.

This piece is essentially a piano etude for the left hand because of the fast octave bassline in 0:18 which requires a lot of stamina and focus to play. But I loved playing the octave bass line so much I even played it again for the final chorus in 2:46.

One of my favorite moments in the arrangement is actually the small top melody in 0:29. The joy and playfulness in this moment perfectly captures the positive nature of Anya from Spy X Family. I have to say, Official Hige Dandism is really amazing for composing a song, which fits perfectly well with the theme of the anime.

Alright, thank you for reading the video description for this week!
I still haven’t decided what I will upload as my next video but after recording this groovy arrangement I am more motivated than ever to create elegant arrangements!

See you next time again!

Don't forget to eat mixed nuts!
They are very healthy for you! (Anya also agrees)

[redastannsd]

Animenz is an amazing person, he can inspire people to play piano and inspire pianists to quit piano.

[Rui.Pandromeda]

For some mixed nuts! :D
Seriously I found myself eating more nuts these days after watching Spy x Family and listening to this :b

[AnimeProAnimeonPiano]

I love how you always use octaves instead of single notes for bass walks, very elegant I must say.

[StudioLinc]

cant imagine how tired animenz's left arm would be after all those octave baseline hops
side note: Thanks for the great premiere again animenz!

This walking left hand is real good, it makes the arrangement *ULTRA* groovy

[うるまし-vq]

「何度も聴きたくなるアレンジ」とはこういうことか…
不思議と全く飽きないんだよな

[とある吹奏楽部員-bf]

音の強弱、アクセントがほんとにかっこいいですね。
とても素晴らしい演奏、ありがとうございました😊

[PianoVI]

This was such an _ELEGANT_ cover!

One of the best OPs (imo) of this season and thanks for the great cover!:D




_waku waku and peanuts ftw_

[gjmallea]

The arragnament base is awesome! Also the intro was pretty original. When i had listened to this piece for first time I had no idea how to replicate it into an arragnament. Seriously, great job!

[popoxlebotox]

I used to play the piano because I was forced to, but a few years ago when I first heard animenz play the piano, I was impressed and it made me want to play the piano for me. Now I can enjoy play the piano. thank you animenz!!!!

[zengarang]

what a *fun* cover! I love the smattering of CRUNCHY dissonant MIXED chords (like 1:58) and it's NUTS how smoothly you roll through the walking bass octaves.

(Sneaked a peek from bilibili xD) ✨WAKU WAKU✨

Holy sheet the arrangement is 🔥. From the walking bass to the syncopation chords, everything sounds so nicely put together!

This song felt hard to imagine on piano, but I really like this arrangement!

[insidiosity]

0:42 im getting chills from how good this is, the rhythm and chords just hits different

[_korbo_]

One thing I will always appreciate and which will always put animenz above every other anime pianist on YouTube is how very serious he is about producing the best quality arrangement of each song he covers.
Every step of the way is carefully thought out and practiced to near perfection, don't ever think it goes unnoticed!

[NEONG-MA]

와 진짜 미쳤다.. .이만한 mixed nuts 커버는 어디에도 없을거에요 진짜...
강약조절 섬세한 거 듣고 전율이 돋아요... 진짜 대단하세요....

[emiliolopez]

I only practiced the intro’s base walk for about 5 minutes and my left arm is already dead. Your unrivaled elegance truly deserves respect.

[ポムポム-xi]

最初から鳥肌たった！音が壮大すぎてめちゃくちゃかっこいい笑
でも曲自体は可愛いからギャップがあっていいね！

[Boo_ExE]

I've been playing piano for almost 10 years and I still wish to play like this man 👏👏👏

He's on another level
