I have been digging this song since high school years. My first attempt at recreating an entire track was attempted at it, although it was likely a disaster. I jumped into practice when I found a piano arrangement in a sheet book purchased at a concert by Animenz. (Turns out the video🪐 by Animenz is over a decade old, wow ; - ;
Of course I did not get enough after this, so I rearranged the full-length version of the song myself (without actually practising it). Many details I wrote down at the time, as well as some touches in the version of Animenz, ended up in this arrangement! It’s amazing to think about it — when I stumble through these notes in front a piano several years ago, I must be Super Ultra Great Delicious Wonderful thrilled to see how I would have been doing in the years to come!
