My Attempt at: Assassination Classroom ED - Hello, Shooting Star (Theishter Arr.)

Here is my attempt at playing "Hello, Shooting Star" by Moumoon on piano. I noticed that in the past days, my videos got quite some attention. Even though this channel is more of a personal "video-diary" of my hobby, I am really happy about the positive feedback. Therefore I try to further improve the quality of my uploads. I don't know if I made it worse or better but hopefully you'll notice a small difference.

This time I have chosen a somewhat simpler arrangement, but one that carries you along all the more emotionally. At least this is the case for myself. Lately i've been feeling really nostalgic and I think this song does a good job in resembling this feeling. It makes me feel like I got set back into my own past but not in a painful but rather a peaceful way. It evokes happy memories but especially when the chorus sets in, it also gives some hopeful, progressive perspective to the future. It's hard to explain this feeling but I hope you you got a glimpse at what I connect with this song. I can only recommend everyone to check the original cover by ‪@TehIshter‬ for the full experience!

Now to the difficulties in this arrangement: Even though the piece is really easy to play, regarding technique, there remain some small challenges in regards to dynamics and phrasing. Especially because I practiced some passages wrong in the first place. The hardest part which I somehow couldn't entirely fix at the time of recording was the seperation of the melody and accompaniment in the right hand. For example at about 2:11 the accompaminent sounds like it's part of the melody and disrupts the listening experience. As this piece is really easy in general i'm a bit ashamed that I couldn't fix it, even in the fourth take. In general though, I think my dynamics etc. were quite well and I am proud of this recording, despite of the simpler arrangement than usual.

When everything goes well, I will be in bike holiday for the next few weeks but I try to record videos in advance for you. So don't expect the most polished renditions. I am still thankful for the really small number of people listening and watching my covers. I hope you enjoy :)
