Summer ( from Kikujiro ) - Joe Hisaishi - performed by nathanielpiano

This is one of my new favorite pieces on the piano--I'm sort of going through a Joe Hisaishi phase right now and this is one of my favorite pieces he composed and performed on the piano. I tried really hard to follow the way he performed in his gorgeous live performance video. Obviously, I'll never be able to play it quite like him and I don't really think anybody can, but this is my best shot at it ^^ I just adore this piece :P

Thanks to a fellow youtuber who piqued my interest in learning some of Joe's pieces by sending me one of his Piano Stories books (among other things)--I'll definitely upload some of those as well when time allows.

This is my last day before I go back to university -sigh- so I'll be spending the small amount of spare time I'll have working on some requests as well as a collab and more of Hisaishi's music. I'll upload them whenever they're ready, but not before.

All credit for this song goes to Joe Hisaishi. No copyright infringement is intended.

Thanks for the awesome support guys and thanks for listening again :) Really appreciate it.

Nathaniel.

Sometimes... I wonder if you own pants.

[nathanielpiano]

@Redpenguinbacon Oh. Is that why they always laugh at me at school? :(

[Redpenguinbacon]

@nathanielpiano LOL! People laugh at you in school? Punch them in the face. Or tell them that I will come punch them in the face :)

[nathanielpiano]

@Redpenguinbacon haha naw, jk, but if they ever do, I'll be sure and call you ;)

PS: I do own pants... somewhere.

Awesome job! (sorry this is so suuper late, been kinda busy). You did a really nice job, and, even though it wasn't from the book I sent you, I'm glad you broadening your horizons with more Hisaishi's stuff. Thought you might like it (Kisses her anonymity goodbye). Keep up the good work, can't wait to hear more from you, you play his style quite well. ^^

[nathanielpiano]

@VolensxAstrum Oh, fine [gives up]

[VolensxAstrum]

@nathanielpiano It is not THAT far. Look at a map. And I've been known to send things further. You should've seen the shipping prices on THOSE! *cringes* Oh well. It's Christmas, what can ya do?
