Tatakau Monotachi - Final Fantasy(piano)

[ch4d0kun]

Man, it took me ages to find this again. I remember listening to sooo many people play this piece, and the video which stood out to me most was a slower version, which seemed to appeal to me more musically than the other versions. It takes you away from the impressive speed, which most people want, and shows you the details that many people miss out or smudge by playing it too fast. Well played! :D

Hope you're still playing! :)

[PianoSensei90]

Too slow, but still very good :D

[TheWindWaker01]

the beginning sounds better staccato in my opinion, but good job still.

[gaWgaMes]

Thats not presto!! lol

[Vyszeamy]

Your version is soo feminine. It's rather biased to the lovely side though compared to the original.

Lovely as in the compositions of different types of melodies and rhythm.

That's a good interpretation to step up with.

however, the original is certainly the main topic :)

[Bendesho]

Nice. I like your slow version better than all the other people here who play way too fast and suck. At least you're in control.

[cinaonly]

where i can get that partiture?

[ForgottnFingures]

perfect playing =] i honestly think that the tempo needs to be faster at some parts but thats just me

[gaWgaMes]

I dont know how to use the pedal in 0:40 - 0:43... Can someone explain please :p

[Xhiaoshi]

a little increase in speed would make it perfect.

[alfalex38]

I totally agree with finakdarknight, it's not an easy song. I tried playing it by ear and it's impossible to find just the first part of the song -.-

Well played =) 5*

[Aenyeweddien]

Well, slow version which you nade is really great, but even so I prefere original. After all this track is about those, who are fighting xD. Am I right?

[lucasmez]

Tifa and Loz on final fantasy advent children.....

[ShadowxVincent]

it's about anyone fighting in the game... not just Tifa and Loz. Go play the original and you'll hear this song every single battle just about.

[PianoSensei90]

@ShadowxVincent true, but the Piano arrangement was specifically made for that fight scene, so it's easy to see where somebody would get them mixed up.

[FFPianoDude]

I think you make the piece seem to gentle. I don't really mind the speed but it should be louder and less peaceful, for lack of a better word.

[Medsas]

i prefer faster!! you`re fighting, no time to think, wake up!!

[MelodyOfOblivion99]

Yes, I agree :) This is defiently not something that would play in a battle. BUT! Learning this song myself and knowing just how god damned complex it is, good job!

[finaldarknight]

Good job! the slow tempo adds a bit more feeling to the way that this is played. I've been viewing the way people are playing Tatakau Monotachi because I'm playing it for a concert of nearly 200 on Friday and I'm quite surprised that someone would play it slow enough to show the complexity of this piece. Other than some slight musical errors, this was a great showing of more melodic and technical way of learning Uematsu pieces. Bravo!

[nick7626]

i think it was magnificent.

and like a couple of people said i enjoyed the slower tempo. for some reason it feels like thats how it should be played, so u can appreciate its true complexity. well done! =]

[TMNTv2]

this is painfully slow. ow...

[ammatimies]

It's a hard to learn this song...and I can forgive that, that you didn't played in the right tempo :D

[CrossAcademyNinja]

believe it or not, watching this video over and over again has helped me learn this song...so...thanks very much

[imbored1996]

it's good that you played this song at a slow tempo because you get to observe the notes that are being played and listen to the harmony and the melody that it makes while when it is played to fast you get so attached to the excited emotion of the song and you really cant observe the whole song because you're trying to keep up with the tempo but with the slow you get to listen to all the notes carefully and slowly.anyways good performance =]

[tabrisfreewill]

Listening to your version makes me think that I needed a newer computer cause it's not powerful enough to run the game. Interpreting music with your own style is good, but this piece is supposed to be played quickly. The word presto on the first page of the sheet music does have a meaning. :)

You handled the beginning of chopin's fantasie impromptu quite well. This piece is not even comparable to that in terms of difficulty. Just keep up the practice. :)

[altair003]

Totally agree with k0reanNamja, with one addendum: too fucking slow man. The piece is a minute and a half shorter played at proper speed. If it's not fast enough, this piece loses meaning and becomes boring.

[ElitesAngel]

Altair I do not see a single video from you, so swearing in your comment about how its too slow you must have literally no idea how hard it must be to play this piece at the required tempe. Secondly music is ALL about expression, and how you interprit it, this version is slow it could be cause its still in the works or thats how Jelina wanted to play it. Being a fan is one thing being an arrogant know it all-know nothing is another.

Nice work Jel you made something very complex look smooth :)

[k0reanNamja]

lawl u played this piece so blandly. it lacks finese. all u need to do to make this piece perfect is to focous on the dynamics of the piece and put an emphasis on them.

[lightbowden]

honestly heavenly my body shakes when i hear this song ^_^

[Kukuruzas22]

Awesome ;)

P.S. really nice legs ;)

[youngj312]

great intonation and rythym for the most part. add dynamics to make it sound even better, and practice moving it up tempo for an even better piece. great job though. keep it up

[handuk]

nice legs =)

[L3KL3U]

hoelang speel je piano.. en als iemand nooit piano lessen heeft gehad.. zou die et ook kunne ?

[L3KL3U]

where can i find the music sheet ?!?!?

[L3KL3U]

if you play just a little bit more faster is would be amazing..

now its nice though gj.. thnx for filming with this angle.. now i can learn it 2 :p

[valorous14]

Holy crap o_o. AWESOME!!

[sieqvahreight]

rufat says that your hands are very beautiful

he is crazy on piano and ff piano music.he has

all sheet musics of ff piano collection

[kengho]

I gave you five stars, you aspire me. I shall endeavour to learn this fantastic piece from your playing. But, could you tell me, is my 5 octave keyboard enough to play this song? Thank you and nice playing again.

Keng Ho

[DAV3DOC]

you are awesome!!

[vinnt2]

wondeful! would you be willing to send me the sheet music?

[seamusfinnigan2000]

greatt!

keep up the tempo! :)

back to my piano! hahahah.

[ManillaHeep]

It makes no difference that you slowed it down, still sounds amazing to me!

[ic3world]

here's something hopefully helpful : metronome, and gradually increase tempo.

overall great expression!

p.s. i know playing at speed gives you cramps in your right arm especially =.="

[mertuch]

Beautyful, but little slow...

[ljjthegreat]

i think its always better to practise at under tempo first

but only first

eventually you should play the original tempo or it makes no sense learning it

[red3pants]

Where do you get the music?

I want to play it so bad.

[rongthien]

that was amazing

[jackkjack]

uber slow =_=

[Gabe40xl]

I think it's a great idea to start performing it slow like that. this way you don't jump to a speed you're not ready for and miss notes, you're just building muscle memory and getting all the technic down before you master it at the original tempo. Very nice

[victoryseieren]

PLaying it slow compared to what the original is, but still very good :)

[Sykoze]

The tempo isn't THAT slow... I mean, I play the game a LOT, this seems about right to me, except for the pauses.

[treehugger127]

Watch your tempo. Even though personal interpretation is always good... this is without a doubt under tempo. Good luck!

[jcorteling]

thanks alot :) but could u send it again because, for some uknown reason my email blocked it out sorry.

p.s you are a very talented pianist :)

[jcorteling]

[lav101]

it was great but it would have been greater if it were faster

[placebo1172006]

a few mistakes and the tempo is a tad slow. but its a very hard song. i don't blame you. :D

[darkdragonlordx]

wow

btw, you got the partition of AC version? i want to play the ac version but i just have the normal one O.o~

[Verlinnia]

You played the song a little too slowly, but otherwise it was magnificent. ^_^

[3mm4n]

excellent. i'm struggling with this song so much.

[DragonKiss18]

Wow!! Great!! Very good!

Love your hands and how you play it...

[nanoux]

magnificent

[Bierrez2]

That is totally awesome! It would of been better if you were faster!

[keve07]

This song is amazingly hard

[KarstKarstKarst]

You rock!

[Roy12356]

gaaaaaaaaaaf! :D
