I have finally watched Demon Slayer last week and I am really impressed by the excellent soundtrack from Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina. Especially the soundtrack in the fantastic Nezuko and Tanjiro scene in episode 19 was particularly memorable and I decided to make a piano arrangement for that soundtrack, known as Kamado Tanjiro no Uta.

However, I was taken aback upon hearing the full version of Kamado Tanjiro no Uta. The song is unusually long, there are many repetitive elements and finding a good balance between the two contrasting themes in minor and major key is quite difficult to pull off on the piano.
I tried to find suitable variations for the chorus repetitions, but I simply couldn't come up with a good alternative. That's why I decided to change a little bit the song structure.

By omitting the second verse and adding a new ending part after the final chorus, I have kept the overall length of the song while at the same time, it also manages to avoid being too repetitive. Furthermore, I feel like the chorus of the original song is ending a little too abruptly. All the buildup in the 5 minutes is released in an instant - and then nothing else is following up. I kinda wish there would be at least some kind of an epilogue left, after all the buildup (or perhaps I am just too used to "book ends" elements in music).
Ultimately, my goal for every single one of my piano arrangements is to find a good balance between tension and releases, in order to create a "natural" flow of music. I hope I managed to pull it of this time.

Well then, I'll continue watching more Anime I have missed out and I'll make arrangements of whichever song is catching my attention. I'll probably upload in a few weeks again.
Until then!
