Hyori Ittai - HUNTER×HUNTER ED5 [Piano] / Yuzu

The manga of Hunter x Hunter is finally returning this year! Togashi sensei's announcement on twitter last week was a complete surprise and it has caused an unprecedented HxH hype in the global anime and manga community. I absolutely love the manga and I couldn't be happier about this big news. Therefore, I just HAD to arrange a Hunter x Hunter song for this week: Hyori Ittai, the legendary ending song from the Chimera Ant arc!

① The "Hyori Itt - ttai" rhythm in 1:28
This piano arrangement is following the original song as close as possible and even the tiniest detail such as the transition in 0:21 has been recreated on the piano. I especially paid attention to the characteristic "Hyori Itt - ttai" rhythm in 1:28 and articulated them as clear as possible on the piano. I liked that rhythm so much that I repeated it again in 1:34 by matching the left hand rhythm with the right hand.

② The "duet" in 2:21
My favorite part from the original song is the definitely the second verse: The rhythmic energy in 2:10 is simply too addicting and once the "double voice" begins to sing in 2:21 the musical intensity is reaching a completely new level. This song by YUZU is just too awesome.

③ The time signature "riddle" in 4:16
The transition before the final chorus in 4:16 also deserves special mention. I honestly have no idea what exactly is happening in the original song because the music is full of echo effects and without any discernible time signature. After a lot of experimentation I finally found a suitable time signature (two 9/8 bars) and I build up the tension in the music with arpeggios until the "Hyori Ittai" in 4:23 is finally returning again.

Alright, that's it for this week! Thank you for listening to my piano arrangement! I am still so hyped about the upcoming new manga chapters of Hunter X Hunter. I honestly have already completely given up on the conclusion of the legendary HxH Manga - until the announcement last week. We truly live in the best timeline.

My next video is going to be another Shounen Anime song! It's time to have another month of nostalgia again. See you then! And "Let's dye this world!" 🎵

Friendly reminder that Hunter x Hunter is still being serialized in Weekly Shounen jump since 1998.
And 24 years later, it's still legendary.
That's just how good Hunter X Hunter is.

[Cozmix-]

Never ever did I think he’d do this arrangement. I feel immensely lucky to be alive to witness this

[Ask_LyRc]

Dont let this amazing cover distract you from the fact that Bungee Gum has the properties of *both Rubber AND Gum*

[LucanPevidor]

this is my favorite end of HxH and i am so glad to hear you playing it, thxx so much for all amazing covers!! you are the best!

[heithem_namous]

In just few days he arranged, performed and perfected this masterpiece.
What a LEGEND!

[ethanggliu]

1:28 the rhythm is just so addicting to listen to over and over again. I've never even watched hunterxhunter but this is so fire and I've watched this video over and over again in the past month

[zordx]

And thus, in exchange for an overwhelming piano technique, such that could only be attained through decades of practice, Animenz sacrificed his capacity to use or even perceive the nen he fought so hard to obtain, just for this moment, he would play a piece that overcame all the human limits - everything that Animenz culminated, would bloom here, not in a denouement, but to open a new door, presenting us to the continuation of Hunter X Hunter.

XD that was an incredible arrangement, glad I could be here!

[TheTacoTruckSupporters]

“Komogi are you there?” Masterful cover of a masterpiece that is from a masterpiece of an anime, you have done this amazing song justice for everything that it is

[trendy]

HXH is a beautiful anime and I couldn't be more excited for it's comeback. Thank you Animenz.

[Zezemint]

4:01 - 4:17 Still so in love with the three hand technique after all these years.

[HelianGamePiano]

It's been a while but I can't stop my self to say these parts are the best melodies I have ever heard recently: 1:12 + 2:33 + 4:46.
I know you came back here for these...

[fork]

As a musician, I both appreciate and admire your performance. Nothing short of a great arrangement would suffice to celebrate the return of HXH.

[rinokumora]

I admire pianists who can play like this. Sometimes Im listening your art for hours. So beautiful

[Fabio-dffz]

I can't belive HunterxHunter is coming back! I'm gonna refresh my memory reading the last few chapters while listening to this on repeat.

[glitchedgirI]

While Hunting for Your Dream has been my favorite ending theme for some time, this ending really is emotionally stirring. I love your rendition!

[stellarauclair]

This song makes me cry every time, help-

[hellsick]

I've started writing my own cover of this song a while back and my favorite part is the call and response part that comes after the first time that the chorus comes in. Once you've reached that part, I couldn't help but imagine playing it with you and you've played it EXACTLY the way I would've done it. Well done once again Animenz! My only "grime" is that you haven't made this until now.

[RaflitoBR]

hunting for your dream is also an excellent ending and deserved an adaptation

[rinjinnoko]

Never thought you'd cover this one. This song has a special place in my heart, thank you!

[lolgod]

To take Yuzu's beatiful song and make it just as beautiful on the piano: breathtaking
