The much anticipated anime of Chainsaw Man is finally airing this season! And it starts with a banger of a song: "KICK BACK" from Kenshi Yonezu - definitely one of the catchiest songs I have heard in a while.
Not only does "KICK BACK" has a crazy amount of key changes, it also has one of the most epic mood changes I have ever heard. The music in 1:41 suddenly changes from utterly "dark and chaotic" into extremely "bright and hopeful" and for a brief moment, I felt like I was walking in musical heaven. Amazing moment.
① Chainsaw and a fist... on the piano?
Did you notice the left hand glissando at the very beginning in 0:01? I actually tried to imitate the sound of a Chainsaw, similar to the original song. Likewise, this arrangement also ends with a glissando again in 3:08, bringing the song to a full circle.
I also used my fist in 2:06 for the first time to hammer down the chord for maximum dynamic power. But needless to say, you shouldn't overdo it or else the strings of the piano might break, haha.
② Chaos in the rhythm
The most difficult part to arrange was actually the "努力・未来・A BEAUTIFUL STAR" in the beginning, because there are multiple rhythms overlapping with each other. On top of that, I also used octaves in the left hand because I wanted to create a punchy bass line for this arrangement. I also used a lot of staccato during the chorus in 0:51 to further accentuate the chaotic atmosphere of the song.
③ The string orchestra appears!
As mentioned earlier above, the sudden musical contrast in 1:41 was simply brilliant and I am pretty sure the arranger of the original song - Tsuneta Daiki from King Gnu - had a huge influence here, since he loves to include beautiful string instruments in King Gnu's music.
I tried to mirror it on the piano as well by letting the right hand play an additional layer of melody in 1:41 to sound like strings from a orchestra. This is also one of the rare cases where the left hand is able to play both the melody and the bass at the same time (with only minimal help from the right hand), resulting in an almost "perfect" three hand technique.
Alright, thank you for reading my "Animenz explains" column for this arrangement! "KICK BACK" is a really amazing song and no matter how often I repeat it, it simply never gets boring. I hope you could find the same chaos of "kicking back" (the phenomenon of bouncing back vigorously while using a chainsaw) in this piano arrangement too!
The fact that MAPPA makes different ED songs each week with top tier Japanese artists also shows their dedication to the Chainsaw Man anime. We truly live in the best timeline.
Well then, I will continue working on my 2M medley project! The special medley is scheduled to be uploaded in early December!
See you next time again!

masterpiece for makima
I was wondering if you'll cover any of the cyberpunk songs since it's not exactly anime music cause it's taken from the game. But man I love "I really want to stay at your house".
You know, I was really wondering how you were gonna pull that 努力 • 未来 A BEAUTIFUL STAR part since it’s toneless to me, but you executed it really well :D
brave shineとsincerely🙏
Thank you for still managed to upload this when you’re busy with the 200 medley!! :)
you already know the cover is fire when its by animenz
everything he plays is epic
;)
bro how the fluff to do that 0:00 - 0:02
Absolutely, yes!
@@matrixnova2641 frr my middle finger was bleeding cause i did it too much incorrectly but ye I got it eventually lol
I can feel the power of Chainsaw Man!!
Haha, Chainsaw Man goes BRRRR
yooo
Your cover was the best
THE CHAINSAW MAN IS REAL
THE CHAINSAW MAN ISRAEL
I wasnt sure how well this would translate to piano, but I am honestly blown away by how well it fits. Its almost like ragtime
It's fucking animenztime

Hands down the best piano cover of KICKBACK. 👌Very nice.
Piano cover? Best cover period!
@@BeardedKenyan Objectively wrong
@@BeardedKenyan are you seriously comparing this to possibly millions of other excellent covers? I think not.
@@joshuazedricantonio6867 we'll have to agree to disagree,, it's gotta be my favourite cover
@@graceh6995 Favorite cover and best cover has their differences.
That bass is played so perfectly. This man is a living metronome. Amazing as always!!!
@@AndhikaSuroto I was gonna say that
RIP, here come the Your Lie in April flashbacks
@@I.am.the.exotic.butters I love the show but hate remembering it
@@NotCaelanTrustMe Exactly 😭
@@AndhikaSurotonot me literally reading “living metronome” and coming to the replies to see how many other people also thought of Your Lie in April 😭
Denji got Chainsaw Demon. Animenz got Piano God.
He's a powerful Piano Fiend, his head is out of the shot so you don't see the piano keys stickin' out his forehead.
Indeed
He got the piano devil as his heart
He got his power from all the people traumatized after trying to play Unravel
How is this from 11h ago, when I think this got reposted 9h ago
この人のキックバックが一番痒いところに手が届いてて気持ちいい。
bing chilling!!
@@shapetick4096 ?
masterpiece, as usual. Am I the only one to be in love with those repeated octaves in the bassline from 0:37 to 0:44 ?
yes
Nope, the whole thing is very smooth but the part youre pointing out is very nice in my opinion
Да часть хорошая но меня цепляет не очень сильно. А вот то что идёт после 0:44 секунды то это да, просто невероятно!
i dont know anything about music i just list to this and enjoy it
@@felix.1104 honest
This arrangement amazingly displayed the chaotic aspect of the original song, especially with the fist technique at 2:06 as well as giving us a magical toned down, yet excitingly rhythmic main theme like the original in an even more invigorating way at 2:14
I love experimenting with rhythmic variations and 2:14 is also one of my favorite parts! It feels so satisfying to hammer those left hand bass octaves, haha
@@Animenzzz Your arrangements always unpredictable. I be like WTH at the first time I watched this video cuz It didn't sound like what I always heard before, however it end up with me replay this video for 5 times.
@@Animenzzz "It feels so satisfying to hammer those left hand bass octaves, haha" - too relatable
欲しいと思うリズムに欲しい音がくるの気持ち良すぎ
a lot of people dont realize how hard this piece and its rhythm really is
nah its not as hard compared to other pieces. Its one of the 4 animenz pieces that ive learnt and prob the easiest so far (I have 1 year experience). Its pretty simple compared to other ones ive learnt like vogel im kafig or whatever
@@weeb123send a vid of you playing it. I wonder how long it took for u to learn it especially the start where the left hand octaves are completely off beat.
@@westonwang6344 he just wants attention, i agree most of the song is easy, but having a poly at the start really fucks me up lmao
Been playing piano for like 6 years and it still took me like 3 days to learn the first page 💀 but it could just be a skill issue lol
KICK BACK 피아노 커버 곡 다 들어봤는데 애니 커버 곡 이 사람만큼 치는 사람 없는 거 같아 분명 피아니스트라고 생각이 들 정도로 섬세하게 잘 연주하는 거 같음 진짜 피아노 커버 원탑인 듯
ㄹㅇㅋㅋ
피아니스트 아님?
@@user-bj6ng5je4l 피아니스트 맞을껄요?
ㅇㅈ이사람이 최고야
But he IS a pianist. What exactly do you mean?
Glad to see you back with upload after almost 2 months! This cover is so catchy I danced. I really love the contrast in 1:41 between the left hand main melody and the high pitch arpeggios, it really gives a mysterious feeling like the story plot in Chainsaw Man. It's indeed a "perfect" three hand melody. Overall, it's so good that seems like two chainsaws playing the piano.
When I first listened to the original song, I was also completely stunned by the huge change of atmosphere in 1:41. Such a huge contrast is seldom heard in an anime opening song. I love it.
@@Animenzzz You captured the atmosphere really well with the piano just like the original song. The chainsaw feeling
lmao fax 🥶
My favorite part must be the first phrase of the second verse at 1:23 along with the ‘naughty response’ from one octave higher(1:26). That higher ‘response’ feels like a ‘demon’s whisper’ to me, it’s too bad that it seems impossible to sustain that F in any way. In constrast, at 0:20 you are able to sustain the F in the first verse with your pinky, where the ‘response’ came from one octave lower(0:22). Also want to mention that the left hand chromatic octave at 2:32 is SO EPIC!! Lastly, I like the contrast between 2:50 the staccato bass line and 2:54 with heavy pedal.
Oh, I found that the glissando are identical at 0:00 and 3:08, haha
The groove of the bassline can be preserved in every instrument.
I can almost guarantee that the Piano Devil himself fears Animenz.

Real
Lmao
He plays us a song he's the Piano Man.
"Hey, Hey, Hey! Grovel, Human!! My name is Animenz" 😈
Wat
A rare but welcome seasonal upload 😂 Edit: The three-hand technique in the middle fits so nice with the entire piece it’s almost scary~ Also, the fist technique looks really sick, I should learn it too!
Use the fist on your own risk though, haha. You can easily use too much force and the piano is doing a painful "DWAAAAAAANG" sound. (happened in an earlier take of my recording)

The opening that sounded like a “REVVV” so clean so good! 😊
初めて動画拝見したのですが、演奏めちゃくちゃカッコいいのに加えて、概要欄から気さくさと人柄の良さが伝わってきて一気に好きになりました!

the best arrangement of this song ever
Out of all the piano covers I have heard, I think this is the best one.
Animenz truly is a generational talent. What a masterpiece. Thank you for all your hard work Animenz, I hope that your arrangements continue to leave an impact many decades in to the future.
この感情がせり上がってくる感じ...良い。
This is by far the best cover of this song on piano. I love it.
These covers always make me appreciate the op, ost, or Ed more. It’s insane
An animenz cover on this bound to be absolute perfection 🔥🔥
I have no words for this-you've always been my musical idol and as a pianist of 15+ years I am constantly amazed and inspired by your work
左手のアレンジがマジでうますぎるこの方 本当にすごい
Literal Goosebumps ! ! That 3 hand melody was insanely satisfying to listen to.
i can feel this song. the way it's literally denji's own pov throughout the events of the story along with chaotic atmosphere surrounding the song, is crazy!
As an ARCT pianist, I'm so glad this goddam legend exists💀
Absolutely love this especially from 0:37 to 0:53! Amazing work!
この曲をピアノで演奏する人ってかなり凄いんじゃない。 聴いててワクワクしました。
i watched the OP so many times i can see the images being played while listening to this great piece. Great arrangement as always Animenz!!
This cover deserves a Nobel Prize!
Right

This is absolutely insane, I am in love with this version
Is a masterpiece!!! not only the original version but also your piano cover. 努力!未來!A beautiful star!
素晴らしいです…原曲を聴いている時の緊迫感、心地よさがちゃんと感じられます
The bass is just blasting the whole song🔥
I was straight up in awe when I was listening to this. I now will listen to this 200 more times
for such a crazy song you absolutely nailed it, watching a master at work is always a blessing
I continue to be shocked by how incredible his skills on piano are. As he said in the description, the multiple melodies going on, that would be impossible for anyone but Animenz. Love your content.
This is literally amazing
Dare I say spectacular
色んな方がこの曲ピアノカバーしてますが、やはりアニメンズさんのアレンジが一番好き…天才すぎる…全曲に共通するけどアニメンズさんのアレンジはその作品への愛もリスペクトもひしひし感じて本当に好きでカバーされているんだなって思うの…
absolutely amazing
You already know when you see his hands flying off the piano in the thumbnail that the cover is gonna go crazy.
上手過ぎ
I love how even the beginning notes were written to sound the closest to a chainsaw sound from the pianos unique sound. Bravo as always 🎉
Just thought I'd let a comment to say how much I appreciate your piano covers, they're always well thought-out and your classical background makes up for some interesting variations on already well known tracks Seriously, thanks
The choir part sounds amazing on the piano!!!
finallyyyyyyyy. I waited so long for the next upload!! I got an eargasm just from seeing the video in my youtube feed
That glissando at the very beginning was wild, really shows the personality and it blew my mind.
ストーリーとか雰囲気がこの1曲で凄く伝わります!
Animenz is so good that he can comment in live chat while playing the piano at the same time
AYO you have no idea how ecstatic I was seeing this!! I've had KICK BACK on constant repeat on Spotify 🎉
I love that build up at 2:09. Sent shivers down my spine. Just amazing 👏👏👏
待ちに待っていました……最高すぎますありがとう
now i really wanna hear the full orchestra version of this 🤯🤯
Animenz ability to play has always been crazy, but his ability to create a good arrangement is truly out of this world
your arrangements are always the best!
When it's animenz it's always going to be the best.
this is the million time I cried listening to this magnificent peace your the most talented pianist in the internet 🔥

I never usually buy music but oh my god this is a must have. I would say this arrangement is the best piano translation I’ve heard of any song!
this melody is sooo beautiful 😭💖
this song makes me shiver
なんとも上品な演奏です
Wow that tremolo at 2:06, that's really impressive!!! Great cover
This is my favourite piece I've seen on your channel - you captured the beauty of this to make it somehow even better on piano
just finished learning it i love it cant stop playing it
