0:00 Ballad version
2:21 Rock version
4:13 A capella version
Butter-Fly is probably one of the most iconic Anime songs ever created and the first season of Digimon Adventure (1999) was essentially my entire childhood. How can I ever forget the legendary final episode, when the train is departing and our 8 heroes are saying goodbye to their Digimon partners. And then - in the most perfect timing possible - the last version of Butter-Fly started to play in the background. If I have to pick my favorite moments in Anime I have ever seen in my life, I would say it’s the episode 54, the final episode of Digimon Adventure (1999). I will forever remember this legendary moment.
Having said that, I tried my best to make the piano arrangement of Butter-Fly as good as possible, because this song is so deeply ingrained in my memory, it essentially made me a hardcore fan of Anime songs. I decided to create a special type arrangement, which is combining both the slow ballad version (first-half) and the fast rock version (second-half), showcasing the best of two worlds.
Did you know that I have uploaded a TV size piano arrangement of the slow version of Butter-Fly on my YouTube channel already?
It was uploaded in 2010 when I was still using an upright piano and today’s Butter-Fly piano arrangement is the spiritual successor to the old video. I still can’t believe I have been doing Anime piano arrangements for almost 10 years now. I wonder if I made a difference on the YouTube landscape with my piano uploads. Maybe it’s about time for me to think about my own future again, where Animenz will be heading for the next few years.
Last but not least, I want to highlight the special third chorus. This is probably the longest solo right hand section I have ever arranged, because it is serving a special purpose: This a capella piano part is dedicated to the late Koji Wada, the singer of Butter-Fly, who has passed away in 2016. I was hoping the voice of the piano can reach to the heavens, so Koji Wada can see, his legacy is still living on in the hearts of many Anime fans in the world, including me.
Alright, that would be this weeks upload! This is it, everyone! It was a wonderful journey for me as an Anime pianist. Thank you for following me on Youtube for the last 10 years! And don’t forget, I love you all.
