I have finally watched Yuri!!! on ICE recently, I am simply amazed by the insanely good animation of the ice skating scenes. This anime is truly one of its kind and no wonder it took the Anime community by storm in 2016. And since we all are waiting for a second season, in the meanwhile I decided to make my own version of the Opening song: History Maker!
Similar to the Anime, I also imagined creating a “choreography” for the piano with its own unique elements. Influenced by the soundtrack [Yuri on Ice!!!], this piano arrangement features “sparkling elements” in the right hand and it is particularly audible in the bridge 01:43 and in the second chorus 02:42.
I have enhanced the introduction part to make it sound like the beginning of a waltz: the music starts with a single note in the bass and it’s slowly building up its momentum until it finally reaches the goal in 00:18.
As a variation for the second verse, I introduced a secondary melody from 01:58 to 02:12. I had a lot of fun creating this “duet” melody because I can totally imagine Yuri and Victor ice skating together during this part (笑)
The Right Hand pattern in 02:13 is directly influenced by the strings playing in the original song and it was surprisingly difficult to play. It took me a long time to properly memorize this unique pattern.
And finally, the final chorus cumulates in a grand finale 03:38. Just imagine King J.J. finishing his choreography and then – with a smug smile- enjoying the roaring applause from the audience. Basically, it’s J̶.̶J̶.̶ ̶S̶t̶y̶l̶e̶ Animenz style!
Well then, that’s it for this week’s piano arrangement!
My next piano arrangement is going to be another ‘classic’ anime song, which 90% of you should be familiar with. Look forward to it and –
See you next week!
