Hello everyone. It's been a month since my last upload, and I apologize for that.
To be honest, I was having a very hard time in march, because I couldn't finish any of my planned projects.

I started a lot projects including piano arrangements from Clannad After Story, Air and Kanon (2006) but none of them has been finished, because... I just don't know. I was in a blockade.
And even before I knew, the month has ended, and I didn't achieve anything.
I was very depressed after I realized that I effectively wasted a whole month and I began to seclude myself.

After I dropped all my planned projects for march, I started to play the Kancolle browser game, and slowly became addicted to it. Days after days, I was just sitting in front of my computer and levelgrinding my ships in Kancolle, and I haven't touched the piano for almost a week.

Ten days ago, I posted my current mental status on social media and announced my semiretirement. But the amount of feedback was really amazing. So many people have been supporting me over the years, and I didn't realize that my piano covers could reach the hearts of so many people. I really wanted to thank these people by uploading something special, but... I still didn't have any idea what project I should start.

And then, the soundtrack of the Kancolle anime has been released and my face immediately lit up: The soundtrack was simply gorgeous! The incredible majestic "Sortie!" theme and the slow string instrument pieces with a heartbreaking melody suddenly my mind was exploding with ideas again.

Therefore I decided to do another soundtrack piano medley, similar as I did with the Magica Madoka medley, and began to work on the sheet every day. After spending more than 40 hours on the sheet, I was finally done and I was relieved. Really really relieved. Because I have finally found my inspiration again.

This piano medley also partially reflects my struggle in the past few weeks: It begins with a very dark funeral march in g#minor similar to my depressed condition but after days of struggling and contemplation, I finally overcame my depression and therefore, the piece also ends in a triumphant Fmajor finale.

I couldn't have done this without your support everyone, therefore:
Thank you!

I also just reached incredible 300.000 subscribers! It's still unbelievable to see how big my channel has grew since I started it in 2009.

Well then, I hope that my passion for the piano will never fade, so I can continue doing the thing I like the most: Creating anime piano arrangements!

I hope I can see you again in the upcoming anime season!
Until then~
