Joe Hisaishi - Summer (from Kikujiro)

[WEIWENWANG]

Slow down dude, add some happiness into it !

[Joanaa23]

nice :)

[tensaihairygorilla]

Hey I saw that you also played Debussy Arabesque No. 1. How would you compare the difficulty with this piece and Arabesque? I was able to play Summer but Arabesque seems quite difficult.

[tinadoggy1]

A little fast.

[me0400]

little fast at some areas but still really well played :)

[meggiemm]

is this hard to play? for example, for someone who doesnt play piano so often? :)

[benchanlol]

@meggiemm nah, it's really easy to pick up :P

[ren01033]

It a little to fast.

[SimpleKlean]

ganbatte kyodai

[zakiyamagakuruuu]

[pigeonwing9172]

nice but a bit too fast

[musicta2689]

Ooh, nice job!

I love this piece XD

Does the link you provided download all of the music listed? I've never downloaded anything like that, so I'm trying to figure out how it works...

[benchanlol]

yeah i think it gives you all of his music. but when i just clicked the link my browser issued a warning, so i wouldn't download from there :)

[benchanlol]

only somewhat

[benchanlol]

yeah i know it's too fast. and i can only understand 早, 日本語, and 前. hahah. ummm. i'm guessing you're asking me if i understand japanese? unfortunately that's a no

:D

[aylabailey1d]

AA this is amazingly good :)

i wish i can play as good as you i just started piano and i really want to play this but its impossible as i don't now what all the notes mean :)

[benchanlol]

thanks. don't worry, you'll get to know what the notes mean soon!

[ivanchunghk]

lol the melody is not steady enough!! but u did a pretty good job~

[Xtish]

Wow. That was really good! Kudos!

[benchanlol]

thanks!

[Xtish]

You're welcome!

*sigh***** Really wish my parents made me play an instrument when I was younger....all of my friends can play the piano or violin and I couldn't do anything......aiiiiiiiiiiii...­.

[benchanlol]

just curious, are all your friend asian?  ;D

[Xtish]

Haha, yes.......we're all asian. Which makes it even stranger that my parents didn't let me....

[benchanlol]

yeah, that is interesting hahaha

[Xtish]

they said they were not gonna let me play the violin because if I broke it, the school would make them pay like, $1000, for it. I'm like.....why or how can I break it....

[benchanlol]

pianos are harder to break ^_^

[Xtish]

Ahaha! I tried that too! When they refused the violin, I asked them to buy me a keyboard....they said yes, so I waited for it.......and I've been waiting for 6 years.

[benchanlol]

well. . .if it makes you feel any better. . .i used to get beaten when my playing sucked. hehehe.

[Xtish]

Oh my gosh! That's so scary......okay, it does make me feel better. Lol. Well, I do get beat downs from grades!

[benchanlol]

i don't get spankings anymore haha. that was when i was like 8

[Xtish]

How long have you been playing??

[benchanlol]

11-12ish years? but i'm not that good

[Xtish]

Hmm....that's an awful long time!

Haha, I can't believe you would say that. Not good at it compare to who?? Are you surrounded by pianists are something?

[benchanlol]

nope. i just feel like i should be playing better for learning piano that long haha

[Xtish]

Lol. What we lack in talent we make up in hard work. :)

But I still think your playing is really good!

[soccerchick24913]

are you kidding??? Your AHH-MAZING. I hav been trying to play summer and i think its challenging.

[benchanlol]

:D

thanks hahah

[whitechocolate973]

this is sick dude!

how long did it take u to learn it?

[benchanlol]

i don't really remember, but i don't think it took that long :)

[PLA8thRt]

just amazing... it felt just like the real thing!

keep up the good work. i actually want to play the piano now, but I'm already doing good in violin so i guess i can't. I don't think there is a violin version for this song huh? i really want to play this,but the chords is impossible to do :P

[benchanlol]

i wish i could play both!

[PLA8thRt]

well se, i really do want to play both, but it because my parents would like me to stick to one instrument until i'm really good at it, as in i make it into sinfoinetta as first chair, which i did... Plus we don't have room to placce a piano, and we can't find a cheap one

[PattehPatrick]

i actually finally got the whole chord thing a few days ago.

[:

/accomplishment

[benchanlol]

nice hahah :p

[PattehPatrick]

Amazing.

Just a little fast.

And unlike me, you played the chords at 1:24 and on, which I never do anymore, since I keep on messing up on after the Emaj7 chord. I don't think I haven't played that part as is since the first 3 days I learned it.

xD

[benchanlol]

yeah. i should have played it slower :D

[PattehPatrick]

Haha it was still great though.

[superblyfly]

wow! you're pretty amazing.

[benchanlol]

i'll make sure i do that the next time i play this =P

[benchanlol]

i know the sheet music says to do staccato, but hisaishi himself doesn't really do it so i didn't also. he like kinda slurred the first note to the 2nd and then made the other 2 kinda light. but they still didn't sound staccato

[dexchan]

lol nice end :P

[benchanlol]

hey i was just trying to be a poser and copy hisaishi's genius XD

i mean might as well try since i'm playing his song already lol

[PlayTheMelody]

aaahhh tru dat. lmao

[PlayTheMelody]

aaaaahhhh that would explain the swivel chairs and stuff.........what college if u don't mind me asking......

[benchanlol]

haha. i decided to stay in-state (for me at least) and go to GT! undergrad's not worth 40k+ a year imo :D

[cavalera40]

love that song and you play great! a bit fast for my liking though... Put up more vids!

[PlayTheMelody]

sounds great as well! lol

i want that exact piano!!!!

anyways thanks about the wall thing. just a lot of random sheet music plastered onto the wall. :-D

[benchanlol]

it's not my piano; it's my college's ;D

[Dudhwalla0514]

[MjayStreet]

[Venge5]
