The third project of my Top 6 shounen OP’s is “Blue Bird“, the legendary third opening song from Naruto Shippuuden, performed by Ikimono Gakari!
This song is surprisingly even more famous than I expected: One day, I was playing this piece in my conservatory, and when it was time for me to switch rooms, the person who entered the room asked me, whether I was playing “blue bird“ (mind you, she is just a normal music student, not some weeaboo like me). I was so happy to hear the song was recognized!
Anyway, the difficulty of this piece is not as high as my previous two arrangements. It follows closely the original song and I only added an “extended“ ending section - basically changing the key of this sheet from minor into major with the final chord.
I also featured a “4-hand technique“ for the very first time: two independent melodies, the bass and the main melody. It starts at 2:56 with the third (and final) chorus. Basically, the left hand is playing an independent melody (which simultaneously acts as the bass), while the right hand is playing the main melody plus an additional melody in the higher register.
Be sure to emphasize the thumb of your right hand, if you are playing this passage, so you can clearly follow the main melody.
Unlike my usual recordings, this one was recorded in the morning, since I failed the recording on the day before (I forgot to turn on the microphones...)
If you are interested, how the piano room looks like: here is a picture I have taken just before I started recording:
Well then, that’s all I want to say about my arrangement.
See you again next time!
