I have high hopes for this anime. What a banger OP!
This time I arranged “「takt(タクト)」” by ryo from supercell (featuring まふまふ and gaku), which is the opening song of the currently airing anime “Takt Op. Destiny”. I’m really excited about this anime, the first few episodes were very interesting to watch!
The composer, ryo, made countless famous songs in the anime community, such as those from supercell and EGOIST. Guilty Crown, Bakemonogatari, PSYCHO-PASS are some of the animes which used their songs. まふまふ(Mafumafu) and gaku are also popular singers, so you can imagine how big of a collaboration this song is.
I watched a lot of other people’s arrangements while working on this, and it seemed the main struggle was arranging the chorus and the rhythm of the verses. The song’s time signature is quite unusual, using alternating measures: 13/4 = 7/4 + 6/4 and 12/4 = 6/4 + 6/4. The notation for the time signature in the sheet can be often seen in jazz or classical music.
As for the chorus, I found out that the intensity actually came from the hi-hats playing 16th notes, whereas almost all other instruments play 8th notes. This was crucial for conveying the same feeling of the original, since every attempt to arrange the chorus using 8th notes sounded too loose for me. In the end, I modified the LH pattern to mimic the bass and drums at once.
This arrangement’s difficulty is very high because of the fast tempo and techniques needed throughout the song. Although it wasn’t completely intended, I think the arrangement became somewhat Animenz-esque, since I wanted to make it sound simultaneously classic and modern.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this epic arrangement!
