Sakurairo - A Tribute To Angela Aki アンジェラ・アキサクラ色

I thought this song really deserves a recognition because, it's the song that probably skyrocketed me in the youtubesphere (well not that I'm that famous anyway), but still my 1st sakurairo piano video is currently my most viewed video.

As you know in the first video I did couple "tricks" and played the song in a one-man style. It was cool and all (maybe), but I thought I really lacked in the quality and emotion department there. So I thought I should compensate that with this video.

What's special about this video for me was that I played what I call the complete version. It has all the original lyrics from the debut on MY KEYS 2006 including the inspiring part of the song: Keep on dreaming all your life, and yet it has the strings arrangement of the studio version sans the drums.

So here you go, this is a tribute to Angela Aki. And lastly, if you Angie, happened to watch this video, I just want you to know how grateful I am to ever experienced your passion in music, you're such an inspiration to me =).

All of her footage was taken from various videos that I've collected all this time, copyright belongs to all respective studios.

As usual, no music sheet, enjoy and do comments. Thanks.

*I just noticed that the EP sound doesn't come out on the last chorus, I don't know why but it was perfectly fine in the original video like every other choruses.

why people can't be grateful for what they are handled to? This song is awesome and this guy is the MAN, so much love in every note he plays. I love it... even if it has imperfections, I love it even more, cos' we are not robots...

That was so awesome.

[monsterpanda]

Thank you, it's kinda weird that everyone hates the ending because it was exactly what she did for every live Sakurairo performance. I guess I'm overly used to hearing it that I don't think that it feels weird at all. But anyways, mistakes have been made so what can I say right? =).

[QuadesMusic]

I agree.

You are, of course, still an outstanding pianist.

[ANnGeLWings]

the ending spoils it , otherwise it's perfect =)

[rockman00blues]

I haven't heard the original of this. But this song makes me regret picking up the Guitar... Hell it makes me feel unworthy of an instrument. Beautiful. Just. Beautiful.
