Miwa Sato - 3rd Mov. : Riku - Scherzo e Intermezzo - Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts

[OrganizationKickAss]

WHY WOULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS!!!

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!!!!!!!!!

[MrGuillecid]

nice play

[metoriteon]

Haha I love you piano versions of kh versions = eargasms

[TheMosher89]

This is one of the reasons why I love piano..although I don't play it..

[BreAnakyh]

@otakuforever72 Yeah, I've showed the piano books to professors and teachers, and they think the music is amazing. (they don't know it's from a video game though. haha.) One of the reasons why I got into Kingdom Hearts is because of the music too. It's another one of the reasons why people need to get over the fact that the music comes from a video game. People really need to give this stuff a chance.

[TheZexion6]

lol FOWEVER AWONE <:D

[iamdudeification]

Hey.

I know you guys hate comments like these, but could you hear me out? Just this once?

I'm an aspiring pianist, and I've written a few pieces already. They can be viewed on my channel.

Thank you for putting me under consideration.

[KawaiiGamergrl]

I adore this song~ I listen to this playlist whenever i have a final project (I'm an art major) ever since 2009. This and Namine's missing you are what get the creative juices flowing. Breathtaking...

[Blacksilentwater]

That´s music .

[MetalsonicX7]

You could say.. I'm the biggest Nobody of them all. ~Riku

Being a Nobody is satisfying. No feelings to deal with.. I could use it atm. This art is one of the few things that can describe my feelings..

[wezley123456789]

how the hell is this possible. i wish i knew this guy so he could teach me how to play like this, this is completly and utterly beautiful

[Goten1992]

I'm at the last two pages (3:33)! It's taking forever, but it's so worth it!

[ThRedShinigami]

1 dislike? forever alone xD

[MetalsonicX7]

@ThRedShinigami Shrouded in darkness to find light? :P

[7SuNo7]

The darkness in this song. Very powerful.. Amazing music.. by an amazing composer.

[chubakaslilhelper]

eargasm. 0////////0

[DerSohndesVaters]

This is only one Piano? :P

[iemizu]

@DerSohndesVaters yup this is only one piano

[raiden41x]

this is a masterpiece

[BreAnakyh]

@juicyfruitfan101 Thanks! It was really great. It's sad, because everytime I play this song in front of people they love it, but they don't know the story behind it. (and the fact it's from a video game, lol.)

[REdFlame498]

The one dislike is Ansem..

[lollypop292]

One person had a hand spasm trying to click the like button

[imaniprincess]

woooooowwwwwww

[Fullmetalsgal]

*gets piano music* Yeah I'mma gonna learn to play this!

*Ten minutes later*

Holy crap! How the heck am I meant to play this fast?!? :P

[kouyung]

@Fullmetalsgal more like 5mins in....k im bored this songs too hard, k moving on to the next song, hmm lets see i think ill go learn how to play Liberi Fatali (FF8).... damn this songs too hard too, then few months later the 12pages of sheet music is just lying there

[BreAnakyh]

I love this piece. I actually auditioned for a music scholarship with this and got $1200. :)

[juicyfruitfan101]

@BreAnakyh congrats!

[otakuforever72]

@BreAnakyh you could probably have used any KH song and won almost all of them have an outstanding amount of feeling (and difficulty) in them, truth be told is was the music of kingdom hearts that attracted me not the games themselves (even though the games are AWESOME)

[iemizu]

oops correction. "they are"

[juicyfruitfan101]

Riku....... (my future bf) the best anime guy in the world presides sora!!!!!

[Killergamer18]

the darkness is far supirior to the light anyway light is cowerdace darkness is in all ways better than the light

[introducingturtle]

Amazing piece. I can play this to 1:11 so far, can't wait until I can play the whole thing ><

[riceT1895]

Anyone who was able to play after less than 50 attempts? / this song is just awesome. Every little part of it completes the song on it's way.

[CamuiVanilla]

i got this book from play asia. you might have to google it to find the website. i don't really trust ebay since you don't really know what you're getting. it's a little pricey but it's well worth it.

[jellyjel14]

where can I buy the book?

[themac1996]

@jellyjel14 I beleive eBay has an abundance of them

[Yossus]

in my opinion, riku is a much more interesting character than sora... he struggles more with his way, and respects both the powers of light and darkness and learns to use them to his guidance and aid... riku is, in his personal way, more of a hero than sora, because he chose the more difficult and dangerous way of darkness instead of just staying with the light... he is more brave than sora in his very own way. this music just perfectly reflects that - absolutely beautiful!

[CiZination]

lol 42 thumbs up <3 sweet :D

[KrystenLucas]

kinda sounds a LITTLE like nightmare before christmas music.

[Losttt447]

I have the sheet to be send =). only ask it for me.

This piece is great!

[1997lunatic]

@Losttt447 u willl send the sheet music? would u rly? its always sold out when i look for it and i dont have enought $ to buy it even tho i love this song and can play piano

ifu want 2 contact me my email is sugarkitty97 @ comcast . net (no spaces)

plz help me out

[ElegantNight]

@Losttt447 omg, will you send it to me please? i absolutely LOVE this piece, and Riku's my favorite character! I would LOVE to be able to play this as my piano piece for the semester!

[piano3479]

amazing......

[Crystalfeathers4]

*Hums softly along* I can listen to this song again and again. Its melody and harmonies work together to pull the listener deeper and deeper into the song.

[Ahaynam]

Truly Magnificent

[lospark60]

My hero Yoko Shimomura!

[KrystenLucas]

miwa sato performed this.

[TheLaxphr]

out of the three themes from sora kairi and riku...this 1 is my ultimate fav

[tonysmyname]

i can play this timmy.

[bluematrix109]

very nice!! Has a tingge of Bhrams and Beethoven...

[pablologist]

listening to it, you might not appreciate how hard this is.. but i think this is probably the hardest of the first KH piano collections. Maybe Working Together is harder because of the huge fast chords... but yeah. You really need strong 4th and 5th fingers to play it properly and bring out the melody..

[Redblackk42]

@pablologist Concert Paraphrase is harder on technical issues, but this pwns on different dynamics.

[Discordantmusic]

@pablologist Very well said. ;_;

[Chaos00000000009]

I'm hoping to put up a video of me playing this in a month or two...I'll post it as a video response here.

[Chaos00000000009]

@Chaos00000000009 Well, the "month or two" ended up being half a year, but the vid is finally up! I've got it under this one's video responses.

[kh2pro]

Honestly all these people asking for sheet music, people won't probably post them. They're more loyal to the actual creators of this because they're so awesome. I mean I would buy the book to show my support to KH and i wouldn't share it with strangers. Buying the book gives them money and they deserve it for this great job.

[CallumDark]

@kh2pro There are books? If so why haven't I got one yet =O

[kh2pro]

@CallumDark the sheetmusic for all of the KH music is located in a book. The book is called "Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts" (hence the title up top.) It's currently sold out :/ google it. squareenix[dot]com sells it or something.

[Nicolasduca]

@CallumDark

[tonysmyname]

@kh2pro i can play this timmy.

[Ariross]

@kh2pro: whoo! you tell them!! xD

[themac1996]

@kh2pro i agree, i bought it off ebay

[jazzhands64]

@kh2pro That's true, but try looking for the sheet music, and you will soon realize that one of the only ways to purchase this book is by selling your soul. If you find a normal priced copy ($20-15) please let me know and i'll buy it in a heartbeat because books are so much better than lose sheets.

[FlameScorpian]

@kh2pro where is a good place to get the book?

[CamuiVanilla]

@FlameScorpian i got this book from play asia. it's a little costly but well worth it

[ninjashiek8]

@kh2pro Only problem; where we going to get them? I doubt they really sell this stuff on eBay or Amazon, simply because the book is from Japan and they have a different currency. And going to Japan for a book is a waster, really. So, how are we going to get it?

[iemizu]

@ninjashiek8 they selling it on ebay, but it is pretty over priced, you get get it from play asia i think

[ninjashiek8]

@iemizu Does that means its in Asia? I don't think I can travel to and from Asia to get this piano book O.o

[pumkinmunchkin]

@kh2pro there's alot of other great KH music that no one has written the sheet music for though.

[ApexFlash1]

@kh2pro You know where to buy the music? Plz tell me. .A.

[metoriteon]

@kh2pro I'd buy it, but it's hard to find T-T so most of us depend on the internet

[dreadjoker10]

just buy the collections!!

its 60 dollars in total but it is well worth it for a kh fan

[dreadjoker10]

after looking at the sheet music it looks like you'll need a realy fast 4th and 5th finger trill this guy was incredible to be able to play it this fast

[piano361]

OMG do you have the sheets for that ??? or du you know from where i wil be abel to find them ???

PLS its realy important for mee answer plsss ;(

[ChristianPian1st]

Well, some guy on here is uploading the sheet music in a video. his name is jay or something, but I reccomend you get it off of ebay. i have the original book, and it's amazing.

[piano361]

wow i belive you that it is amazing but can you send me a link from the guy whou upload the sheets ???

PLEASE i will marry you for that :P

[ChristianPian1st]

watch?v=N0Lhmi0ZI-g&feature=re­lated

[dreadjoker10]

would it be considered copyright if u posted a video of u playing a piece from this collection?

[youngj312]

i doubt it seeing how there are many videos of people playing final fantasy piano collection pieces, but im not entirely sure

[TheScorpion0081]

Not if you credit the work to the person who made it and where the song came from.

[OblivionKeyblade72]

It's worth hearing again and again ;)

[MizzFujin]

I didn't realize Riku's theme was so powerful. The musician really puts alot of passion in creating the song, this is now one of my favourite character themes.

[889michael]

This is just great!Where is the sheet music for this found?

[GrilledFat]

Ebay or JapanImports. Jay19881988 posts some on his youtube profile. But I recommend buying it. It's really really good.

[889michael]

Thanks.

[awesumsauce]

this is AwesumSauce

[sora9566]

this song reminds me of good times spent with my friends and kairi riku but now they were but I have a chance to recover iNpOsIbLe I'll do what my friends are so close to me again I will not let anything separate us

[Robin468]

I uploaded the sheets but I cant post the link here

just contact me if you want them

[Smarty4789]

whoever says Yoko Shimomura isn't simply amazing should be killed!

i respect her as much as Nobuo Uematsu.

Beautiful arrangement...

[Twamtwams]

yoko shimomura is alot worse than nobuo uematsu ;o imo, she creates a tune and plays it over and over again very slowly then goes into an amazing chorus, then the main tune again but extremely slow and quiet ;o uematsu is unpredictable and amazing like the end of cosmo canyon how he fits the introductory melody into an amazing end. yoko isnt bad, but she isnt amazing like nobuo ^o^

[Smarty4789]

well it's just my opinion i guess. she definitely is good.

[wezley123456789]

@Smarty4789 not kill. mamed. killing could be painless :P maming aint never painless :P

[xjiseonxyux76]

the music going fast and slow then fast again then with all the patterns and the loud parts really (!!!) me. very impressing song.

[xxRoDy]

Well, the song is not that difficult as it sounds.The beginning is very easy and there are alot of repeating parts. Only in the end it gets hard.

[CallumDark]

I'm going to look for the music for it, and well try and probably fail.

[xxRoDy]

jay19881988 has made a video of the sheets.

[aqubo]

i don't know, i feel that people are giving it a bit too much credit,

don't get me wrong, its my favourite piece ever and sounds difficult, but once you get the music, it's not the most difficult thing to do

great song XD

[CallumDark]

Kinda makes me wish that I should't have let my teacher choose my music for gcse piece. And I should have learnt the piano, but it can't be that hard, can it? Dx

[Tropictyce]

haha... learning piano is hard if you go into it wanting to play music like this song... this song is extremely difficult bro... if you want to learn, i recommend starting with simpler songs such as dearly beloved. then move on to other songs like To Zanarkand.. but ive been playing for almost two years, practicing two hours a day most of the time. and this song is still far beyond me, in about four years maybe =)

[evangelinefyre]

I've been playing for 10 years, and it still sounds EXTREMELY difficult to play. T__T

But hey, if you have determination, what's there to stop you?

[Tropictyce]

haha... for me...?

my inability :D

but thats mostly true. the first song i ever learned was to Zanarkand. took me about two months, since before that the only song i knew how to play was mary had a little lamb lol... but i kept trying and i eventually recognized the patterns that the left hand was following and realized that a lot of the songs do that and i was like... woahhh. cool.

but still. i need more than determination haha... how about a lot of free time?

and maybe the music sheets lol.

[evangelinefyre]

A lot of free time sounds good, considering I just re-listened to this after three weeks and my hopes plummeted.

Sheet music too. Sheet music is always a good thing. Learning this by ear would be...oh god.

[AFunnyWhisper]

4 Morning Stars and 8 Crescendos, which will call in even more Crescendos.

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

13 Years here, and I have to agree with you. SHEET MUSAK PLS LOL!

[inseogsong]

go to otaku(dot)com and search kingdom hearts piano collection.then u click buy or somthing andshipping from japan will take about one week. ull get a card and itll say go to post office.

[dragonriderrosa]

O.o Really? I've been waiting for two weeks to recieve mine and STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY WORD FROM IT! What packaging did you have?

[evangelinefyre]

I just got the music. It's difficult.Very, very difficult.

It takes me about 10 minutes to play through the whole song, with numerous mistakes.

And I can barely hear the melody through it all. xD

[ImmortalCynic]

Best of the three D. Island Character themes.

[Smarty4789]

kingdom hearts had such deep characters. and the music fits them all so well. i gotta say after uematsu, yoko shimomura is the best vgm composer i know.

[theblackheartless]

My favorite song in the cd =) kinda of evil

[SandDragon1990]

Man... this is awesome... so dark and lonely sounding, bt powerful... kind of wild... I love it!

[FF4eternity]

I have the sheets! I do not reccomend this one to anyone below a grade 6 to even bother to attempt. AMEB standards. I now have my Amus and some sections are still difficult.

[Roxas240]

yeah true i think only professionelles should try that im grade 5 and i don'T think i can play this...

[MeTaLoRgY]

Best track from this album without a doubt. My new goal in life: learn this one by heart. It's just dead gorgeous.

[glassduckie]

Beautiful! Can't wait to learn it!

[rikaLOVER787]

Not to be all Cheesy and stuff, but...

this song reminds of how beutiful kingdom hearts is within itself, but how complicated and questionable the story really is..., and with a new addition comes a thousand more questions.

"A peice of a puzzle within another adds a question, but how it fits is another" -me

[TheScorpion0081]

Story of my life...

But that was a really good quote.

[kdqmartinflip]

they're gonna make the sheet music soon

somewhere at july 18, i think...

damn i cant wait to play this awesome theme.

[shitpickleX]

Sora: well I got my share of problems too.

Riku: like what?

Sora: like wanting to have an awsome theme like you :/

[Eweiit]

lol

[MilenPetzelt15]

Out of all the Character themes, this piece and the arrangement really identify Riku. You hear his struggles, regret, and his redemption. One of the best tracks on the album, for damn sure.

[Xarandela]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Best track on the CD without a doubt.

[Paopuvanille]

Love RIKU !!

[persian4523]

does anyone know where to get kh sheet music

[hdkingdomriku]

I love the fact that Riku's theme is one of the longest tracks on the CD. Riku's so awesome!

[Naxir]

I am SO buying this CD.

Thank you for uploading it!

[GothicAngelofdoom1]

same here now just where can i find it?

[unusualcatperson]

you can find it at play-asia(dot)com for the US. If you're not in the US then see if your local music store is able to import music

[MeleeGurl]

Riku being one of my favorite characters from the Kingdom Hearts series make this song all the better. (Not that it needed any help being better, heh). It's amazing as it is. I love the emotion conveyed in this track, I find that it shows the inner emotions of Riku's character and his struggles during the Kingdom Hearts Series.

Thank you for uploading! ^_^

[funnymonkeylord]

i agree with u 100%. 

riku's awesome!!
