Imagination - Haikyuu!! OP1 [Piano]

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/41475 This week's upload is the opening song of the first season of Haikyuu!! I still remember the high intensity Volleyball matches in Haikyuu!!, where the situation can change very quickly in every minute and I was really looking forward to a new episode every week. When arranging this song, I noticed the full version of "Imagination" is only 3 minutes long. It is probably one of the shortest opening songs in my recent memory. But nonetheless, this song still packs a lot of power and it serves as a perfect opening song for such a high-tension Sports Anime like Haikyuu!!. The arrangement is following the same structure as the original song and I spent a lot of time to translate the guitar solo part in the bridge 02:04 into the piano. After many trial and error, I created a piano version with a similar rhythmic energy, but also included a fast octave passage at 02:17. I also slightly extended the ending part at 02:47, by adding a small transition at the end of the song and repeated the beginning melody again with a slight variation to bring the song in a satisfying harmonic conclusion. In a way this arrangement is a textbook example of my typical arrangement style: utilizing different voices for each repeating section, keeping a steady rhythmic energy in the left hand, and structure the whole arrangement with a proper beginning and a proper end. Well then, that's it for this week's upload! Next week, I am going to upload one of the so called "special type" piano arrangement, featuring a unique musical structure and some extended parts. I hope I can see you next week again!
