One Last Kiss - Evangelion: 3.0 + 1.0 Theme Song [Piano] / Hikaru Utada

Sheet music → After waiting almost 9 years for the continuation of Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, the fourth and final movie has finally been released in Japanese Cinemas! I went to see the movie a few days ago and it brought satisfying conclusion to the Evangelion Saga. I hope it gets an international release very soon, so Eva fans all over the world can watch it too! But before I talk about the movie any further, let’s have a look at this week’s piano arrangement of 「One Last Kiss」. It is hard to believe, but this song actually consists of only two harmonic progression patterns, which is repeating itself over and over again. If I had to use one word to describe the mood of this song, it would be “Echoes“. 「One Last Kiss」 also sounds like trance music in my opinion because of all the synthesizers looping in the background. It was quite interesting to mimic the “Trance“-atmosphere on the piano by used repetition patterns. It’s most noticeable during the buildup in 2:22 and in 3:09. I also had to arrange the voicing on the piano very carefully in order to distinguish the multiple layers of music, because it can be easily “drown“ the music if I add too many notes. Especially the many cross rhythms was quite difficult to play, because you have to be very precise or else the rhythms will fall easily apart. 1:41 for example was really difficult to play, because of the two overlapping rhythms in both hands. To be honest, I still like the previous song from Hikaru Utada more -「Sakura Nagashi」 from Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo - but 「One Last Kiss」 definitely grew on me as well with each repeat. I think this piece is very suitable if you drive a car for a longer period and you need some music to vibe (笑) Alright, that would be everything for this week! Next week is going to be another Anime Movie song, see you then! Animenz ------*------*------*------*------*------*------*------*------*------* 📣My Social Media Follow me on Twitter!
