Aerith's (Aeris's) Theme - 2nd Attempt

[arpforcepc]

Hey thats a good song to hear before sleep make me have nice dreans +.+

You have pretty hands ^^

The video can be old but you don't worry you play awesome, and i dont thinc is bad like you said =)

[Pheyt14]

The 1st one was good...But this one is even better :D (its great)

[CRrox6700]

i'm practicing this song too^^ Ok, it blended together a bit too much. However, this is a hard piece to get the timing right and everything, U did a great job here. =)

[lisaem22]

hah. try releasing the pedal. at like every measure? or when you think the sound is cluutering up.

[Saihei]

Yeah, I was a noob when I was recording this for the second time, haha. It's been about a year and a half since I've played this, though.

[Iselore]

did u release the pedal at intervals? it sounds too sustained. But anyway nice job

[Saihei]

Bah, ignore this video. I think I might delete it. The sound quality's bad and it's really, REALLY old. (I can't find the sheet music to this anymore, and I don't want to find another to replace it)

[mahoutsukaitai]

oh c'mon it sounds good to me.. :-)

[lilbebepnay]

haha cute hands..? nice piece too! :D

[Saihei]

Haha, thanks. (I actually have an incomplete version of the piano collections up if you want to check it out...? *shrugs*)

[tidetidus]

prob first time anyone has ever said this on a piano piece but...you have very beautiful hands :)

[Saihei]

HAHA, thank you. Everyone says that to me IRL. (And they also claim that my thumbs are REALLY long)

[keymusic]

Just beautiful...

[Saihei]

Thanks!

I changed my mind, though...I may make another attempt at this. A better one, if I can find my sheet music...

[MNC117]

Wonderful performance. The second attempt is definitely better than the first ;) Is there a little crackling noise in the recording? Couldn't help but hear.

[Saihei]

Thanks. I was actually planning on re-recording this, but I changed my mind. It's hard to shift from learning the Piano Collections version back to the OST, so yeah.

I...don't hear a crackling noise. Is there a specific point where you can hear it really well, or is it just all during the video?

[MNC117]

It's my speakers being up too loud. What else do I want with awesome music XD

[TeRapunga]

i love this song, iunno why i just really like it, and u played it really well. nice job :D

[Saihei]

Thanks! ^^

[thelostexperience999]

good performance...

i think you should end the song at 1:34 adding there a prelude type theme (if you're playing in D+ is :

D A(down) D E F A(up) D(up)

[Ajejuccio]

Well played. Keep praticing and you'll play even better. Oh, and wonderful hands, by the way =P

[Saihei]

Thanks. XP

[flibbitygibet]

You played it well, but it was a bit too fast. It should take aboot 3mins 10secs to play <3

[Saihei]

Are you comparing this with the OST's time length?

I'd have to repeat some parts of the song, though, and the although the sheet music says to just end the song at that one point, I COULD repeat it, although I'll probably be lazy. :P

Oh yeah, thanks for the comment and feedback. ^^

[SubFusion]

Interesting, sure a lot of "I WANNA SEE YOUR FACE" comments. Anyways, yeah, much better. Chances are you probably listened to the actual orchestration of this piece. Sometimes, you have to immitate a cello or an oboe which have different tambures(sp?). All n all, not bad but I think style is probably the biggest project, at least for this piece.

[Saihei]

HAHA, well...the one from anonuks is actually a friend of mine, and he's been asking for a while. I keep forgetting to do so, though. Oh well.

Actually, I kind of have...just not a lot. I've listened to the Piano Collections version a lot, and I've also been trying to play that one, too. I've only managed to get about a page and a half that I can play smoothly, though, so hopefully I can get better.

And thanks, by the way~

[skippy687]

ypu play it so good! could you pass me the score¿ thanks!

[Saihei]

The sheet music? It's on FFShrine last time I checked. Try checking there.

And thank you!

[FirstChildRei]

made me feel things I havent felt in a while, five stars, added to favorites, thank you, Sai

[Saihei]

Thanks! :D

I'm planning on doing another remake after New Year's, though. There's a somewhat short story why, and it's in my To Zanarkand's description. It's at the top.

[VincentMix]

In France, there is only one word to describe that : "magnifique". It's a beautiful memory for all Final Fantasy fans and I'm part of that one, so I just want to thank you.

[Saihei]

Thanks!

[moddog125]

Agreed

[RuiRyoma]

nice. that is what i called improvement. nice.

[Saihei]

Thank you!

[Renzio9]

That sounded mesmerizing.Although I want to know what version of Aeris theme that was because there are many versions?

[Saihei]

Thanks. I'll probably do another version with better sound quality, though, since this one's kinda pestering me.

This is from the OST, not the piano collections.

[tps607]

nice,but I still prefer the 1st.I play it in the morning in an attempt to remind me that it won't be a perfect day but I'll get through it ok,and laugh off the glitches.It puts me in a good frame and raises my spirit, like yours seems to be in all you have posted

[Saihei]

I kinda got lost there afterwards, but I think I get what you're saying. Thanks, too.

[skip2mylou123]

err i agree with allyconan...too much use of pedal, but overall RLLY good job 10000000000000x better then ur last one..keep up the gd work!

[Saihei]

Haha, yeah, I realized the whole pedal thing. And thanks.

[imdapoordude]

Last time u sounded pretty bad (no offense) well, u did much better this time. Good job.

[Saihei]

Haha, it's alright--I even knew that it was worse.

[allyconan]

I loved it.

Although, (I REALLY dont want to sound mean) may i make a sugestion? Dont use the peddle AS much. Only when there are long pauses that need affect.

Im sorry. I dont want ot correct you. I LOVED IT TO DEATH AND YOUR REALLY GOOD!

[Saihei]

Ha, I've had worse comments before. Just not on YouTube. :P So I'm fine with it.

And yeah, I'll probably redo this...AGAIN, but eh, the more practices, the better this song gets. And thank you. :D

[allyconan]

No problem.

and you are very good. I play to and totally suck so...well...i shouldnt be talking lol

:DDD

[Saihei]

Actually, I'm not that good. >> I actually suck a lot more, but...eh. XD

[XaldBalghostriped]

ouch! damn I'm so stupid I've high the volume! well it's a good music you played I like (I'm so stupid dude)

[Saihei]

Huh? What about the volume?

And thanks.

[Chocolinx]

DoReMi version of Aerith Theme ^^; Very nicely played. I remember playing this a few years back. Very fun piece to play haha But like some other said...It was tooooo much petal lol. Just fix that up and it's perfect!

[Saihei]

Thanks!

And like I said before, I was releasing the pedal about every measure...it didn't help too much, though.

[nataree1987]

hey this is definitely better with the pedal but you should try taking the pedal off every now and again :P the muddy sound comes from holing the pedal down for too long. Great improvement on the last one!! keep practicing, this is a really hard piece, especially if you haven't played for a while ^^

[Saihei]

Yeah, I was holding and releasing the pedal every measure or two...or whenever. That's about it. And thank you. ^^

[EclipsedSoul]

Really impressive! I wish I could do that v.v

[Saihei]

Thanks!

It took me a month or two to actually be able to play this song, though.

[PhilipMaestro]

Very good. You have a lovely touch to the piece but one piece of advice though. Don't have camera on or near the piano as you can hear the strings resonating. I use a music stand so you can set it at a right height. Keep up the good work.

That's was my Mum's comment.

My comment is:

Incredible but have your camera a bit further away. Otherwise, pretty good.

lol

[Saihei]

Yeah, I was planning to move the camera further away from the piano next time...somehow. And thanks!

[anonuks]

SHOW YOUR FACE NEXT TIME.

You know, like you told me you were going to.

Also, how'd you get so good?

[Saihei]

...Bret?

I said I was sick, and I didn't look too good...plus, it was like, after school too, and I was really exhausted and all. I practiced a lot before school started last month, too. I just didn't have any time to record it until now, so yeah.

[anonuks]

Aw, I know. I was just giving you a hard since you said you'd show your face. But yeah, I understand why you didn't.

And hey, you should get back on aim if you're gonna be on the comp anyways.

[Saihei]

Haha, alright...if I manage to record another video this year (If I don't have time this year, then I'll do it next year), I'll try to get a quick glimpse of my face.

Oh, yeah...I always either get lazy or forget to go on AIM. It's stupid, but it's the truth.

[XxMaMaMiaxX]

lol ya i noe y u dunt though this is online and neone can get access to it so ya i wuld never put my face online lol pic or vid unless it was private and even then i might not XP~ lol

[XxMaMaMiaxX]

WOW this sounds way better! though the sound quality is ok i guess but still i can tell the difference GOOD JOB!

[Saihei]

Yay! Thanks! <3
