@HypochondriacPiano

This arrangement is so epic! I only learn songs that really touch me. This one really tore at me, so guess what? I'm learning it XD

[shxlyna]

this is so pritty

[iamdudeification]

@HypochondriacPiano

I'm blown away...I wish I could play by ear as well as you can. I'm still learning (and I've written a few pieces myself) and people like you inspire me to be better. How you're not famous or making money from this baffles me; you have a real talent. I wish you the best of luck :)

[VANDISLAVA]

How long did it take you to learn this? :p your amazing .

[KirinaixRose]

@iwasherealright Thanks for the reply. I've looked on that site for sheet music several times, but never found any for this. I thank whoever took the time to transcribed it, that's amazing, though I will always give 100% praise to the arranger of this composition, HypochondriacPiano :P

[JhayJhayy]

can i ask what type of piano you use? lol i dont know about technical piano stuff so... yeah :D lol i was jst wondering cuz it sounds sooooo perrrrrrtyyy <3

[ShinyBlueFlame]

I think this song is great, but its the most difficult to remember of all the Kingdom Hearts songs.

[kingdomheartsruler22]

i would love a midi for this OR sheet music. Your Version is better then the piano collections version. liked, favorited, and subscribed.

[HypochondriacPiano]

@kingdomheartsruler22 There is sheet music! :D Go to Ichigo's Sheet Music, then to the Kingdom Hearts section, and look for the transcription by RubberFlippers. :3

[kingdomheartsruler22]

@HypochondriacPiano really!? YES! cant wait to learn it.

[sparksflyup1223]

@HypochondriacPiano thanks so much for this info.. I like this version~ XD

[nanoda88]

@kingdomheartsruler22 Agreed! This is definitely way better than the piano collections. Downloading. :)

[DistractedFirefly]

Please, please say there's sheets for this!

[filthytuneage]

you are amazing, i swear, i heard you play this and i have listened to it almost 15 times now, i just can't change the song

[RikkuInfinite]

I'm so gonna learn this song on piano!! Its soooo pretty!!

[shadowflick]

[OathToOblivion]

I don't suppose you've done Sora and Roxas yet?

[NinjaSheik3ds]

Wow.

[Rubberflippers]

I have the sheets for this song. If you want them, click on my channel and use the link I provided in my comments section. If that does not work then go on Ichigo's Sheet Music under the Kingdom Hearts category and find Riku's theme. The song is of course, transcribed by me, Rubberflippers.

[APERCUPETO]

Teach me master!!!

[Rubberflippers]

It's not from a music book. HypochondriacPiano arranged this ;) And I'm trying to transcribe it... It's pretty difficult... I'm halfway done ;)

[sparklegirlj1]

What music book is that from?

[AkuRokuInMyPants813]

Oh my... I adore your arrangements! You've captured Riku's personality, his story, all into the song while you played it. Well done~! ^_^

[sparklegirlj1]

Teach me how to play that piece plz!!

[JasetheDestroyer13]

You have to teach me how to play this!! Me and a couple of my friends nicknamed eachother names from Kingdom hearts and i ended up being Riku somehow. It's wiered cuz i'm a girl. But anyway I have to learn how to play this. I am so subscribing to you!!!!!!!!

[sparklegirlj1]

congrats u almost made me cry.

[kuristinaKOISHII]

You made Riku's theme three times sexier

[T0K4R1N]

[CuTiExNeAr]

I wish I can like more >xDD *presses like button 20 times* ; u ;

[KaiyuKohai]

Do you have sheet music for any of your arrangements? These are really amazing. Honestly, I would pay for them if you made them into a music sheet book or something.

[ShadowOfSummer1]

omg! this is so great and cute!

[Chimecho1]

This piano arrangement for Riku's Theme is so far the best I have heard. It sounds so amazing! Is there any way that you could make any sheet music? :D

[pandaloveification]

@Chimecho1 oh i hope she can~! i want it please as well :) :D <33

[Kingdomheartzluva13]

Absolutely love this! Maybe you could do a step by step tutorial for everybody who don't know how too play this?

[Frenzy649]

your movements blend into sound almost as if unreal but completely real at that beautiful sync it has reached perfection

[JaziFizlFoshizl]

do you happen to do tutorials?

[1kirbysimba1]

Do you happen to make sheet music?

[kairisnobody14]

i wish i could get the sheet music for this for the clarinet :(

[hanhyn]

<3

this is just stunning.

[KirinaixRose]

You wouldn't happen to have made sheet music for this have you? Or if there is a harder version of the original piano version for his theme song that's similar to this?

I really was moved by this, especially the part with the high octaves, and I felt I needed to learn this someday...(I could try and do it by looking at your fingers but this is just if you don't have the sheets) ^^;

[roxasmanable]

@KirinaixRose well there is a piano collections kingdom hearts with this song in it. it's a really good book but the songs are way too unnecessarily difficult, but i've learned them all and this one's no exception. "o" (p.s. there's also collections for final fantasy and a second book for final fantasy

[Mariena12H]

I LOVE ur hands' movements

I'm still a beginner at playing piano, but i hope i'll catch up with u one day :3

[Reeceninja]

Hey just wanted to ask did you have piano lessons, or did you teach yourself?

[HypochondriacPiano]

@Reeceninja I took piano lessons for about four years, but when it comes to arranging and composing music, I am self taught.

[luminoustarisma]

@HypochondriacPiano Woah, four years O.O I was taught for 5, and I feel you're way much better than I was. I've just subscribed, been listening a little and think you're awesome!

[Dysnoxium]

Ohhh,

I'm so impatient to listen to your arrangement !

Ventus Theme is the theme who makes me cry the most xD

So if it's YOU who plays it,

I think it will be devastating for my poor eyes xD !

You can put so much emotion in your melodies,

it's amazing, incredible !

And I'm glad you like The Boundless Ocean =D !

[Dysnoxium]

Hello Hypochondriac :) It's Alexis from Belgium ! Do you remember ? I'm always amazed by your arrangements... And I would like to suggest you for the first time, a very beautiful melody, if you're interested. The song is called "The Boundless Ocean", and it comes from FFIII (the Nintendo DS version is better) So I am very happy that you played Riku's Theme, one of my favorites ! PS: Do you think play Ventus Theme soon ? Have a good day, See you :) <3

[HypochondriacPiano]

@Dysnoxium Hello! Thanks, I am happy you enjoy my arrangements, Alexis. :) That is a very nice song! I think I will add it to my list of arrangements to finish! Ventus' theme is done and recorded. Please look forward to it! Thanks again! :D

[Leyatsu7]

@HypochondriacPiano Hey is there anyway you coukd put this on synthesia, we would appreciate it very much

:-), its a lovely piece of work

[Dysnoxium]

Oh my God...

One of my favorite themes...

It makes me cry :'(...

Once again :)...

Alexis <3.

(PS : Can you, please, play Ventus Theme ?)

[kingdomhearts810]

did you use sheet music or did you do it by ear?

[nyumino]

Do you have sheetmusic or did you learn it by ear?

[RenzaNoobie96]

this. is. amazing. :D

thankyou for making this!

[FoolyCoolyful]

WOOT WOOT YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIIISSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, you are the best :D and I've always like those pants o,o

[HypochondriacPiano]

@FoolyCoolyful Glad you like it! XD

[SwiftxFlame]

Wow! You just made Riku's theme more Riku! One hell of a job you did here!

I just had a quick glance at all of the videos you've done and it seems they're all related to or from squeenix. I already requested "The Wind's Yearning", from you, but if you're still taking requests and want to change things up a bit, reply to me and I'll get a bunch of different songs for you to pick from!

[HypochondriacPiano]

@SwiftxFlame Thank you! I play mostly Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy music because they're my favorite game series. However, I would be happy to listen to some other songs if you have some ideas. If I hear one I really like, I might arrange it! :)

[aaimeeorchel]

This is actually one of the best arrangements I've heard/seen! Have you seen the Piano Collections version? It's a tad more complicated but looking at this, you could probably pull it off! Keep up the good work!

[HypochondriacPiano]

@aaimeeorchel Thank you very much! Yes, I have the sheet music book for the Piano Collections. I like listening to that version of Riku because it's very intense, but it is also very difficult to play, for me at least. I'm sure I could probably play it if I practiced it more. XD Anyway, thanks for watching! :)

[aaimeeorchel]

@HypochondriacPiano You're welcome! I think intense was the right word for it! xD But you're welcome again!

[Yupicci]

Oh gawd, thanks for uploading this!!

Somehow, I even like this more than the one from the Piano Collections! >w<

I really love how your arrangements sound fluent, and match the character. Also, it's great when you add other parts which weren't in the original soundtrack, it really fits in!

Well I'm not so good in explaining these things, but it's just awesome!

I'm looking forward to your next arrangements. :3

[HypochondriacPiano]

@Yupicci Thank you! I'm happy you like it!! :D

[KEYofNACH]

It sounds so sweet....

[nyumino]

beautiful!! you play so well!!

[HypochondriacPiano]

@nyumino Thanks! 

[Pangaleenan]

Good Job!

Thanks for providing a download link! =)
