BELIEF

Almost all of my videos are played by ear, and I have absolute confidence in the technique.

What I think is most important in my piano arrangement is “faithfully reproducing the original tune”. Music in recent years basically has something called an “original tune “, and people listen to it and get to like it. As people like the “original tune”, they also listen to the piano cover. Therefore, covers reproduced the original song faithfully can evoke the memories and emotions related the original tune of listeers. However, this is actually very difficult, and I am proud that only I can reproduce them at such a high level. I am studying various arrangements now, but I would like to keep to this faith.
