Hi there! I'm a pianist and grumpy old school gamer and this channel is a musically-manifested diary of all the games I've played and loved from my childhood up to the present day, i.e., basically a piano shrine to Hitoshi Sakimoto. lol

Baka Mitai - Yakuza (solo piano jazz version)
Apparently June 17 is Kiryu Kazuma's birthday, so this is as good a time as any to finally get this one out of the way 😂 Like Friday Night, I swear I had no idea it had become this powerful meme that transcended space and time I just liked the song when I did the karaoke in Kiwami 😂 However, it wasn't until I heard the jazz version playing in the background of some of the bars and clubs in Y0 and Kiwami 2 that I was like wow I dig this really classy rendition and then found out its whole bizarre history on social media and now I'm kind of embarrassed about it lol I SWEAR I REALLY DO GENUINELY LIKE THE SONG 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The jazz version with piano/drums/bass combo is so wonderful and subtle, and yet adapting it to solo piano I didn't QUITE nail how good it is with the other instruments plus I found myself starting to veer towards the full on rock ballad feel of the karaoke version lmao which I might have to also do at some point, because I love the melodrama of that one haha.
(Octopuff Traveler just hanging out for no reason lol)

Hi everyone! Last week I posted about a terrific, critically acclaimed indie game that made me lose sleep for three days called 1000xRESIST lol, which I highly recommend checking out if you haven't already, one of the best narratives I've experienced in a while and the Asian diaspora focus is a bonus!!! store.steampowered.com/app/1675830/1000xRESIST/ Remy Siu, creative director and developer, n...

Chorus returns, but different! This section has the most "arranging", since i'm taking huge creative liberties in an attempt to actually make it feel pianistic, up to now it's just been transcription. Though it still has to feel like the original somehow, and this is where my listening brain and my performance brain are at war with one another lol. Like, it might sound okay/accurate, but doesn'...

ok we're up to episode 3 for this, and you can start to hear the stress in my voice LMAO as I had to contend with that very syncopated 8-bar verse in tenor range (RIP forever) and the somewhat weird 4-bar bridge that threw me off the first couple of times I heard it, but got used to it so it's all good haha. Until the chorus, that is lol 😂 Will be adding each of these little vids to this playli...

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching the first of these little arrangement progress vids, it really means so much!!! ❤️❤️ Here's the next section of the song, the vocal version of the main theme from Yakuza 4, mainly how I usually go about adapting a full band to solo piano. Third episode will be up in a few days and that'll be the verse and the bridge. Previous episo...

Long shot, but is that sheet music still available somewhere? Looks like the link no longer works :(
Nintendo issued a widespread DMCA on sheet music just two weeks ago: www.nintendolife.com/news/2024/06/random-welp-now-nintendos-going-after-sheet-music. Email me at purple.schala@gmail.com and we can work something out!
OOH I heard this song before but never knew the title. It's such a beautiful piece of music!! This rendition is also a PERFECT listening session for me as it's raining heavily right now, the cozinessssssss 😌
AHHH thank you so much hahahaha, so many people have commented on the rain lmao!! I'm guessing you also live in a tropic/subtropic region subject to frequent heavy rains in the summer!
I really love this medley, there's something about your arrangement and performance that brings me to come back and listen to it every so often.
omg that's so kind of you, thank you so much! I would have loved to have kept this as a medley when I made the album, but ah well haha
Awsome! Loved it!!!
Thank you!!!!
Goosebumps
thank you so much!!!!
Is there sheet music available for this?
only if there's enough demand for it. there are a lot of sheets for this one out there, I feel lol
@@purpleschala yah real, outstanding arrangement btw!!!
@@jurytortoise5396 thank you so much!!!!
Awesome!👍👍🎼🎶🎹 L268🙂
thank you!
@@purpleschala All the best!
Beautiful ❤❤🎹🎶
Thank you!!!
What was the start of all this?..
Have you heard "Dear Friends" arrangement in Distant Worlds? It's amazing like many of the Distant Worlds arrangements
Yes! the DW arrangements are all so good!
@@purpleschalaI believe its Arnie Roth but I am not sure? Maybe he just conducts them and someone else did the awesome reharmonazations? Lush strings counter melodies all over the place
This theme is in the opening theme / title screen on the DS verision. Did you ever do a version of that? It's awesome, and I know you would smash it ❤
nope I didn't! no plans to do more FF3 unfortunately, it is a fine game, but not one of the standout titles for me in the franchise.
@@purpleschalaah ok R.I.P would have loved to hear a version of that opening song on DS lol. Memories of Zephyr/Wind or something iirc
Makes me want to start walking in place
HAHAHAHA YESSS <3
Great rendition
thank you!!! i should redo this one omg
WAIT Kiryu's birthday is June 17th??? That's my birthday, too! Holy crap I am honored to share that day with him 😆. Also I love that you didn't know about the meme for this one so you could enjoy it completely unironically. This jazzy arrangement is absolutely amazing. It sounds sooo good and emotional on solo piano, fantastic work as always!
WHAT AHHHH HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! <333333 so lucky to share a birthday with that blessed man (but really he should be so lucky to share a birthday with an awesome person like you!!!) <3 Thank you so much, you're really too kind, as always!
I can't believe you still put this together despite your power being out for so long. I really admire you for that. But you're right that you can't just stop everything once it goes on for that long haha. We just had a heat wave for the past week and I was like, "Well, guess I'm not playing piano until it cools down again" LOL. This sounds really awesome, thank you again for sharing this series! I loved getting some snippets of your process, but I also completely understand if you don't do this again since it messed with your workflow. I'm in favor of whatever is the least stressful for you 😄
ahhh you are too kind kmads thank you so much sweetie!!!!! <3 <3 and tbh the next day when temps rose to 85F in the house and 95F outside I was DONE LMAO not doing a damn thing until we get AC back!!! LOL!!! Thank you so much for following this hot mess, it really means a lot you found it worthwhile! <3 if I do it again, I'll do it differently, I think.
Only discovering this now and having only heard a 1:12 so far, this is a wonderful cover and captures the beauty of a grossly underrated theme. Very impressed with what you were able to pull off considering how the song adds several more instruments and picks up speed. Beautifully done, thank you so much for sharing this.
It’s PERFECT!!
thank you!!
Best piano cover of Corridor of Time so far! I would love to see more Chrono Trigger by you! Thanks for this masterpiece! 😭
aw you're too kind thank you, there are so many great renditions of this out there!!!! And I do have more CT I'm working on, mainly re-recording a lot of my older covers!!!!
I genuinely love the song so much, I always sing this whenever I'm doing karaoke with my friends 😆 I love the arrangement!!! And the rain suits the song vibe so much haha
AHH THANK YOU SO MUCH hahaha so many people have commented on the rain lol, purely unintentional but glad it worked out haha!!!! LOL i'm so glad this song seems to be a karaoke staple in real life
