This piano arrangement of 「Avid」 is directly inspired by episode 22 of the anime series. It has probably one of the most beautiful cinematography I have ever seen in a TV anime and the emotional rollercoaster was simply overwhelming. The final two episodes of Eighty Six was delayed for three months but in exchange we got a cinema-level of anime production - absolutely worth it.
The official name for the OST used in ep 22 is called 「Voices of the Chord」and it’s basically an orchestral version of the ED song 「Avid」. My piano arrangement is based on the full size of 「Avid」but I adopted a slow tempo based on the orchestra version and have modified the flow of the music a little bit to make it more cinematic, including a key change in 4:08. I also used many orchestration methods in this piano arrangements to fully capture the beauty of episode 22.
① New pedaling technique
Fitting to the lyrics of 「Avid」("it calls, it calls"), I let the piano "resonate" its sound a bit more than usual by mostly using half pedal during the performance and releasing the sustain pedal very slowly for longer notes. This creates a very interesting "mixed harmonic", which slowly clears up by itself until only a very few notes remain. It can be heard in 1:47, 4:04, and 5:02.
② "Emptiness" in the music
Since the main character Shinei has earned the title of "grim reaper" during his long duty on the battlefield, I cannot possibly imagine the amount of loneliness he is feeling, especially if he is being left behind again. The second verse in 1:49 reflects the emptiness of Shinei's mind and the melody is split up into tiny fragments, never reaching its full melody.
③ The "miracle" in the flower field
[ep. 22 spoilers]
In one of the final scenes of the anime, Shinei has accepted his fate and the music in 3:38 suddenly drops to a bare minimum, slowly diminishing until almost nothing is left in 4:01. Then, the key change in 4:08 happens: This is the moment where Major Milize steps into the battlefield and Shinei's destiny is changed forever. The landscape suddenly changes from a blue sea of Insects into a beautiful red flowerbed.
The miracle must be dramatically celebrated at the climax. The left hand is hitting the lower bass notes for the first time to achieve an enormous orchestral sound while the right hand is playing a secondary melody (consisting of thirds and fourths) to represent the red spider lilies dancing in the wind. This is the moment I was waiting for in the anime. This is the moment why I live for Anime and Anime music. And this is why anime is simply the best art.
[/ep. 22 spoilers]
Alright, thank you for reading this week’s "Animenz explains!" It has been a really, really long time since I was that moved by an anime episode and I hope I can experience more moments like this again in the future. A moment where "everything just feels right".
Thank you for watching my piano arrangement and see you in the next video again!

It has been a while since I have fell in love with a single episode in an anime series but episode 22 of Eighty Six absolutely deserves all the praise it gets. Thank you for listening to my special piano version of Avid!
Finally you heard my words!!!! Thank you !!!
Hope to see LilaS as well (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

不错
Actually the title is "Voices of the Chord" !!
It's about time 86 got some love from the piano god.
;)
Yeah I thinks that the show finally gets some spot light recently!
I made it 86 likes lmao
I'm sobbing again 😭
If Animenz covers a Sawano masterpiece, you already know it’s going to be good.
Ey you got that right.
true 😌😌
Always gives me chill
should i like this comment? its at 86 likes rn
Why ur catchphrase is always "masterpiece"
Thanks for your music.
What the hell? You can donate in the comment section?

@@343JustMe do you see where the like, live chat and share icon are? You can actually slide to the right.
Another anime in the record books, with the novels being just as good. It has been quite a while since a series had conveyed that much emotional impact, resonance and purity in just a span of a few episodes.
The Grim reaper has finally reunited with his Bloodstain Queen, while Bloody Reina has finally seen face to face her Prince Charming. The catharsis of their reunion is beyond words, with the soundtracks, facial expressions being perfect. You can really tell Animenz was feeling the music with this piece and thanks for covering it!
Well done to A1 pictures, Toshimasa Ishii, and all the other voice actors for procuring another masterpiece. To be expected of the studio that made us cry in your lie in april and anohana. Hopefully there will be at least an announcement of season 2 and release of volume 10 soon.
Definitely will be listening to this and LilaS over and over again. The capital L representing Lena and S representing Shin. Two people from completely different backgrounds yet are also so perfect for one another.
>The catharsis of their reunion is beyond words, with the soundtracks, facial expressions being perfect
Very nicely said! That's exactly what I felt when I was watching episode 22.
LilaS means Lena is looking after Shin
Nice
"The Grim reaper has finally reunited with his Bloodstain queen, while Bloody Reina has finally seen face to face her Prince Charming"
Excellent choice of word play and use of epithets for the both of them. Really helped refreshed my mind on how both names had royal status befitting them, while also having the dark backstory associated with one another. Really is therapeutic that they are finally with one another and hopefully live happily ever after.
Maybe the episode itself will be in the record books but I don't think the show itself was anything special in any aspects other than concept. Though it might become super popular down the line for having a great ending like how code Geass managed to do it (*cough cough* even tho the ending was the most predictable and mediocre shit ever)
All of 86's endings are amazing but Avid really hits you in the feelings, especially considering the meaning of it
I learned it and it genuinely makes me feel sad when i play it
this song by itself is incredible but played by your hands it is something indescribable, i could feel all tue emotion it brings while playing in the anime. You are the best!!! and always it will be
Amazing cover!
I totally agree that ep 22 was just beautiful. I personally believe it is the most cinematically original and creative episode of anime i've ever seen (and that's saying a lot, considering i've watched over 600 anime in my lifetime)
Fyi, the song in the episode during the emotional climax isn't an orchestral version of Avid, but an OST called Voices of the Chord. Technically speaking, i guess it is an orchestral Avid with english vocals, but Sawano had it in the OST from the beginning. Voices of the Chord was first heard in the recap episode of 86 part 1 (at the very end, where Lena heads to the dorm and discovers the messages left behind with the picture.)
I personally prefer Voices of the Chord much more, as it's more orchestral and has a deeper sound to it.
Edit: for those wondering why i'm suddently talking about this 'orchestral avid', go read the description. Animenz only knew the song as such, so i'm just trying to let him know the title of the soundtrack he tried to cover.
Edit 2: Animenz changed the description now, so you don't have to pay attention to this comment anymore haha
Edit 3: Just wanted to share a fun fact to people: Did you know that Lena's nickname "Bloody Regina" is just her first name (Vladilena) but with an extra syllable?
If you pronounce her name the Japanese way, it goes: Bla-di-re-na.
Bloody Regina the Japanese pronunciation is: Bla-di Re-gi-na.
I was mindblown when i first realized this hahahaha
Updated the video description, thank you for pointing out the name of the OST!
@@Animenzzz Thank you for caring and listening!! And thank you for all your hard work! I love your music so much❤❤
Woah thats a cool fact lmao
"Bloody Regina" is actually a translation/localization quirk. You can hear in the Japanese dub that she's actually called "Bloody Reina" which is much closer to "Vladilena". Why did they change from Reina to Regina? Who knows.
There's very little difference between the two words: reina is Spanish for "queen" while regina is Latin for "queen" although according to Oxford it is also a legit English (UK) word to refer to the reigning queen that it is used specifically in lawsuit titles for some reason. I really don't get why they bothered translating it. My guess is that the localization team didn't like that "Reina" was Spanish 🤷♂️
By the way, the word "reign" itself is also derived from the same roots as regina/reina.
@@w3yr I actually think you got that wrong, cuz i just went and checked Episode 16 (Part 2 ep 5), and around the 21:02 mark, Lena does audibly say "Bla-di Re-GI-na"
I don't know where you got the Reina info from, but it seems that Regina is actually the official Japanese word they use
Edit: so yeah, the english localisation team had nothing against Spanish. They just went with the word the japanese original uses xD
Edit 2: Idk if you got confused, but Lena's full name is Vladilena Milize. But after the events of Part 1, she got herself a nickname like the 86 soldiers (for example 'Undertaker' or 'Laughing Fox') and called herself "Bloody Regina", which is a pun with her real first name but with an extra syllable
86 is slept on everyone should give the anime a try or even read the LN honestly it’s amazing.
Not really. Fans of the light novel are rabid in praising the anime. So it's one of the few animes that surpased the hype given to it.
@@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904 ? not a clue as to what your point is because it contradicts itself. "not really" "fans of the light novel are rabid in praising the anime" "lives up or surpasses the hype" kinda contradictory. I can't tell if you're trying to say it's good or not.
@@zerarose I think he meant "not really" in the sense that it wasn't slept on, not as in people shouldn't watch it
The anime left me feeling some way I can't describe, glad it's finally getting recognition.
i can tell you what its made me feel...
pure hunger
i need more, the anime format of course, i dont really want to read the LN
@@-Justussamuel- Just finished it and I AM FAMISHED. I NEED THE NEXT SEASON NOW! Can't believe I haven't heard of it before..
@@warren4867Honestly I think there is no need for s3. The ending was so great and promising now where shin has found its reason to live for i don’t really need a s3 since I’m 100% satisfied. Of course I get what you mean, I also want to see more of them together now where they finally met, but the journey itself is the destination, and now it’s up to ourselves to decide how the story continues
OMG!
4:08 is beautiful 🤩
Your covers are beautiful too.
@@miyoko8380 I think she's a lady not a dude...Yes agree I have been listening to her covers and loved them.
@@niceone1456 Fixed.
@@niceone1456 And yeah, her epic version sound so gorgeous.
So hype for this arrangement. I was waiting for this everyday since I first heard this song in 86. It will be so great if there are “Voice of the Chord” and “LilaS” next
The Episode 22 version of Avid is Voices of the Chord
@@DokterKaj Ys Bt still there are some different between them. A different version of avid
Well this is voice of the chord
Indeed
@@SuM1- This is EP22 ver, so it's Voices of the Chord.
謝謝Animenz帶來的這首Avid,86-不存在的戰線-真的是最近少有的好動畫。
Animenz's Piano讓我又想起當初看86動畫上出現的畫面。
最後3集一直重複播放了好久,還是久久無法忘懷蕾娜與辛相見的場景。
每次看都為他們的相遇到見面感到高興而紅了眼眶。謝謝Animenz。
网恋奔现可太甜了,哭的稀里哗啦的😭
Holy crap, that last part 4:08... It was so emotional, I nearly fell off my chair! Truly wonderful. Good job as always!
86 is one of the best animes in existence, no one can change that! Including its covers are a masterpiece. I hope it gets a season 3!
Fyi it has been only 1 season. The first season has 2 cours. So the next season is going to be season 2
i read a leak yesterday, that teased the possibility
The 4ths at 4:09 are beautiful. All the voices included are so simple, yet so much to the arrangement. Amazing work.
Hi fruit, just wanna say that I love your covers.
Monke
@@miyoko8380 i somehow didnt get a notification but thank you lolol
@@purewaterruler monke
Initially I thought the final chorus would be classic Animenz runs everywhere, but that key modulation was something I didn't expect, whew! Didn't expect melodic Animenz this arrangement, but it's also a lot better than I expected!
I was actually planning to put fast arpeggios for the third chorus in 4:36, but after test playing for a while, I realized the slower left hand patterns are more suitable for a ballad-type song like Avid.
Sometimes, it's a good thing to defy the expectations of my listeners!
@@Animenzzz do keep the surprises coming 😂
I think the slow orchestra version in ep 22 is the "voice of the chord". Anyways, looks like we got Avid x Voice of the chord feels in this arrangement
Ever since I first heard "Avid" I've been hoping you'd do a cover on it. This is amazing!
Hope you liked it, Mego!
Same
Perfect 86 likes
It's amazing how 4:09 captured the feeling of the key moment in episode 22 so well!
I love these more melodic and simple arrangements because they're such a pleasure to play.
Seriously was the best part. I hope Animenz or someone else can do a piano cover of Hear My Voice next. One of the best songs on the OST and somehow their aren't any covers yet!
Avid and Voices of the Chord are such brilliant songs, their lyrics brings so much feelings. Never in my life have I heard such an emtional and beautiful songs like them. And as always Animenz nailed it, the cover not only touch our hearts but it also changed our soul. Hiroyuki Sawano would be very proud if he see this, absolutely amazing.☺💕💯

Btw, STEP ON ME, MY BLOODY QUEEN
Animenz, I want to be real with you. There are a few anipiano videos that brought me to tears. The first one was back in 2015, when I was watching your Key Piano medley while reading the comments and in particular, a story about one mother having lost her first child from birth accidents and having her newest baby inside her listen to your medley. The second was a sad Naruto piano medley a youtuber (Majd piano) did in tribute for his friend, who died drowning while trying to save his son. Third, your Heavens Feel medley and a tribute to your grandfather. We've talked about it at length. And with this, I cry yet again but for a different reason. Not out of sadness this time but so much that you've brought to life the motif exploration so exquisitely that for someone like me who hasn't even seen the anime yet, but heard of it and know of its symbolisms and premises (and I'm addicted to the song), I've already shed tears just imagining how masterful the craft of the anime is as well as how you majestically you brought each attention to detail to life. This single piano video is the best example of a rollercoaster representation on how a song captures an anime for me. Thanks for being the best, for 9 years of my life and running.
Thank you for leaving your sincere comment! The piano has truly unlimited potential after all.
If you're crying before even seeing the anime, you're in for a real treat :)
@@ryanmccampbell7 I feel that too Ryan. Thanks for raising the anticipation ^_^
There are so many cringes in a single comment, like I don't even know where to begin.
You wanna talk about how your wife boyfriend took her out for dinner on valentines day because you're too busy crying and being in tears,
And then you cry again because you realize her boyfriend is a nice guy after all, looking after your wife on your behalf?
Did you watch it yet?
I wish I could experience the whole anime once again like it was my first time ❤
Fun fact, (also spoiler warning) something a lot of people will miss simply because they don't understand Japanese is that they actually timed the lyrics of:
"ima, aeta sora de
kimi ga warratteita
mune ga sakebidashitan da
mabuta kara afureta
ima, aeta sora de
iki ga todoku kyori de
kotoba sakebanakatta
me to me mitsumekaeshita"
which translates to
"Right now, meeting under the sky
You were smiling
My heart started crying out
My eyelids started overflowing
Right now, meeting under the sky
Within the reach of a beach
I didn't cry out a single word
Our eyes gazed back at each other" with Vladilena when she starts crying during the ending scene
damn thats deep
but isn't that LilaS
this was LiLAS for the last 2 minutes of the show. LiLAS also stands for Lena is Looking At Shin
Aint even gonna lie. Avid is one of the best songs used in anime.
1:07 shivering
自然に涙がでてくる
It’s been so long since i’ve felt so emotionally attached to a certain anime, and 86 did it flawlessly. I’m so invested that every time i hear any song related to it, it made me feel mixed emotions. Mixed of happiness and sadness.
I’m loving all the different piano arrangements for this beautiful song.
You nailed "that moment"
I don't know what else to say I'm just in awe at how that key change and those added fourths made me feel the exact same way as in episode 22.
I agree that everything just fit together in episode 22, and I think your arrangement did the same. Everything just perfectly fits together. The structure, the holding back of the choruses to let the innovative key change absolutely shine through the piece in the same way that Lena shined right through shin's descent into madness in his moment of despair.
This is going to be one of those arrangements that stays as one of my favorites for a very long time.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
One year later and I still keep coming back to this piece by you. This is such a masterpiece. 86 is one of my favorite animes ever. And I'm hoping one day we'll get a version of Lilas by you.
Sawano sir has really created a masterpiece "avid".
Whenever this song starts to play,i get goosebumps.
I'm loving this arrangement, thank you so much for covering this song!
ちょうど今日初めて聴いて鬼リピしてました…いつもすてきな演奏ありがとうございます…😭🙏💕💕💕💕
Avid is a song that really touches deep, Hiroyuki Sawano is simply amazing and I’m glad you did this piece justice
This song deserves a beautiful cover like this, and you definitely gave it one
86 is such an underrate anime, and you did it so much justice by covering it in the best way possible. thank you animenz.
涙が止まらなくなっちゃった。素敵な音楽をありがとうございます。
This is definitely an amazing arrangement for 86.
Finally , Avid have the chance to be played by the god of piano, Animenz
Thank you for such a mesmerizing cover for such a beautiful song.
Thank you for playing Avid and 86, this is beautiful ♡
Favorite song, favorite arrangement. This arrangement has definitely brought the original song to a new level. Love it so much.
To hear you cover this in such a full, cinematic way... it took me right back to that field of red spider lilies. What a gift this is! I'll be listening to it over & over as I wait hopefully for another season. Thank you, Animenz!! 🙏
at 4:07, my friend who have not watched 86, asked me "this song from that firework movie?". they have like completely different beats and tempo but the flow, and he have yet to watch a single episode of 86, and firework is the first thing comes to his mind. amazing
AVID is honestly my favorite ed of all time and it's so incredibly to finally see you do a cover of it!
This Arrangement is So Good. The Final Chorus gave me Goosebumps.
You did it again, conveying the meaning of the scenery through your music and evoking the emotions of the MC through your notes . The red spiders often represent death in many anime but this is the first where it represented “life” . I guess through the many deaths of his comrades can he fully appreciate the meaning of life . Thus the flowers have a new meaning for Shinei . It’s a beautiful anime
The best scene from Eighty Six beautifully composed into this masterpiece. I can't help but feel the shivers on the "miracle on the flower field" piece. Great job 👌
Oh my goodness, you've done it again. This arrangement made me feel everything I felt in episode 22 and in the series as a whole: chills, sadness, and an appreciation for the precious, tainted beauty of 86. This song brought tears to my eyes, thank you so much for arranging it.
Can't wait for the sheet music to become available!
Kayowai hikari ga yubisasu saki
Silent haze kasumi gachi ni toraeru kage
Hachi roku no rizumu kakimidasareru
Gikochi nai innocent calm
Close my eyes and figure out the vacancy
I don’t know what I wanted or you made me do
Chirijiri ni kizamu
Hontou no sekai de waraeru ka?
Don’t you get there?
It calls
Aoida sora ga iro wo kaeru kara
My naked heart can hear echoes
Shirazu motometa Avidity
Tsutanai inori ga orinasu nami
Violent maze suna ni mamire umaru ashi
Komaku ni hibiku intsuu kudasareru
Tomedo nai resonant harm
Plug my ears and figure out the tendency
You don’t know how reckless you are
You made me blue
Taedae ni tsugumu
Hontou no omoi wo hiroeru ka?
Don’t you get there?
It calls
Ikoji na kibou wo hiraku rasen no sou
My rusted heart can hear echoes
Ano hi nakushita Avidity
Whisper your name again
Then restart it right away
Oh my bitter color ardor wander
Gotta feel it undercover
Yukue mo shiranai
Don’t you get there?
It calls

I love this song, I’m really hyped for this arrangement.
Love that this arrangement was made for such a great episode. Captures the spirit wonderfully
Your covers are definitely the best in terms of emotions !!
I'm also glad 86 Eighty Six is getting love it really deserves
最高すぎるぜ……
全然ピアノとか音楽とか分からないんですが、アレンジ以前に、音を聞いただけではっきり上手いって感じられるくらいすごくてびっくりしました。
What a master piece and you just lifted to next level. When listening to your performance, the memories of 86 just running through my mind.
No doubt that 86 is the best anime in recent.
Avid and Voices of the Chord only played in the climaxes of 86. Whenever it rings, I know emotional scenes are coming (tissue always prepared)
Animenz can always bring out the real emotion behind the pieces with his arrangments. It's almost like Hiroyuki Sawano himself is on the piano.
Came back to listen to a such beautiful arrangement😇
I always love reading your description, they always warm my heart with the effort you put in
This is easily the most impressive adaptation of a Sawano Hiroyuki song I've ever seen, the amount of detail that went into each part and all the changes you made were absolutely perfect
This brings me to tears! I absolutely adore this song and I'm so happy animenz made a cover of it.
Thank you so much!
i cannot express what i feel listening to this masterpiece arrangement with you skillset. Amazing Animenz!! I love 86! Glory to the Spearhead Squadron
Waiting for this so long !!
It's too beautiful to listen to it just once😍
I have waited for an Animenz arrangement of Avid for quite some time! Finally it's here!
Because of your piano arrangement, I went and watched this anime and I am glad that I watched it. Thanks animenz
I watched Eighty Six after listening to this piece because I was wondering what's up, and I must say, HOLY CRAP is it so good! I now understand why this arrangement is directly inspired by episode 22.
I am excited (and scared because it's probably going to make me cry) to learn this piece, but I have to finish learning your Kaibutsu arrangement first. It feels like working for my candy lol.
Crazy how just the few opening notes of this song makes me start to tear up.
Just awesome, the dynamic control, the clean runs... Damn
Amazing as always!
So beautiful and touching.. as always !
The progression on 4:09 is just heavenly
This song is unbelievably beautiful.
Thank you for making my day with this cover. Absolutely brings me to tears. I have a soft heart for 86's story.
I’m going through depression and listening to how you play and learning your arrangements help me find new goals and keep going.
Welcome backkk ANIMENZZZ I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW ANIME COVER AND THIS IS BEYOND WORDS, YOU PLAYED IT SO EMOTIONALLY THAT MY HEART CRIES
Beautiful, thank you for this performance!
I remember waiting the last episode of this anime for so long, but that was worth the time, all the musics, the plans were so meaningful and this last song were just the cherry on top to close this 22 episodes masterpiece.
Ahh this is so beautiful!! 👏👏❤️
Just finished binging the show, I can't believe I didn't hear more about it earlier but it's become an instant favorite for me. Glad to see it getting more attention;
Everytime Animenz plays, it's like he is singing the song through his playing. The feelings are all in his piano and you can hear, even feel it. Amazing
We are really spoiled by this talent in the anime world, thank you Animenz, I don’t find the bass loud anymore, I can hear every note of your emotion, thank you :)
What a marvelous arrangement and performance, incredible, truly.
it's as beautiful as it gets. Thank you for covering this beautiful OST of a wonderful series.
I just knew I was going to love the piano cover of this song. and performed by the legend himself. this was an ethereal experience.
音で虜にする。
素晴らしいと思います。
This is one of my favorite. Thank you for covering this animenzzz ❤
86 was just an absolute masterpiece for me
Even knowing that Animez makes godly Sawano arrangements, I'm still somehow caught off guard and completely blown away
I've been waiting for this
Can't stop listening to this masterpiece.
Listening to avid again, I can't stop crying. Thank you for the great performance.
THANK YOU. You never cease to amaze me.
So beautiful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this - your piano arrangements are wonderful and always inspiring!!!
I can't explain how loudly I screamed when this popped up in my notifications. Thank you so much Animenz.
I fell in love with this song since it first appeared in the trailer for the anime and it’s fucking awesome to finally hear it played by you on piano, another awesome arrangement animenz !!
Im literally sobbing thank you animenz
The landscape suddenly changes from a blue sea of insects into a beautiful red flowerbed --> 10/10
Transition / key change between 3:38 - 4:36 --> 10/10 (truly breathtaking)
Pedalling between 5:05 - 5:10 --> 10/10
Thank you so much for this arrangement. What an experience it was...

как же всё таки прекрасно звучит...
Это точно! Савано гений, а аниме зачёт. В след году собираюсь у Onsamedia заказать все оп и энд 86. И да с Новым (наступающим) годом!
Oh my gosh.. 😭💖 I love this song. I love all of Hiroyuki Sawano's music, so it makes me especially happy when you cover it. 💖
Thank you, i'm so blessed to have the opportunity to witness your talent.
