SPECIALZ - Jujutsu Kaisen S2 OP2 [Piano] /King Gnu

- U R MY SPECIAL.
This is my piano arrangement of SPECIALZ by King Gnu, the 2nd OP of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Shibuya Incident Arc was really peak anime in 2023 - and I absolutely enjoyed the crazy ride.
SPECIALZ is a very dark piece and the aggressive hammering beat is essentially creating an atmosphere of a “death march” for all the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. I tried my best to translate the “hammering” of the original song as good as possible on the piano, but I also added a few additional melody layers in 0:35, 1:56 and 2:28 to contrast the peaceful side of the music.
① Iguchi-san vs Tsuneta-san (the two vocalists of King Gnu)
I decided to use different voice ranges for the main melody because each range has a different voice characteristic. The voice of Iguchi-san has been assigned to the higher range (0:50) while Tsuneta-san is covering the lower range (0:54). I kept the voice splitting fairly consistent for both the verse and the chorus to create a duet between these voices on the piano. It’s also more interesting to play too.
② Cursed by a Hammer
If you have watched the Music Video of SPECIALZ you’d probably notice many scenes featuring people doing a hammering motion in a monotone rhythm. I tried to do the same for the piano and the constant left hand jumping in the verse (0:19) and in the chorus (0:50) is basically mirroring the hammering beats of the music. There are also a few times, where I have to use unusual hand splitting to continue the hammering beats such as in 2:36.
③ The mystery bass
When arranging this piece, I was not sure if the chord progression in 1:48 is D7-A7-D7 or D7-F#m-E . But I decided to keep the A7 chord for this arrangement after all because it’s more similar to the chord progressions in classical music.
I also did a “Shibuya Crossing” (aka Hand Crossing) on the piano in 0:35 and 2:36. And after the Shibuya incident, not only Shibuya but whole Tokyo is in a great danger now. I really hope that MAPPA will start producing Season 3 soon!
Alright, that would be everything!
Thank you so much for your support in the year 2023! All of you are very special(z) to me.
And thanks to the active anime piano community, I will continue doing my best!
Please look forward to the new projects I will be working on in the year 2024.
See you again in my next video!
WE R SPECIAL.

And remember: YOU ARE MY SPECIAL
Happy New Year! 🎆🎆🎆
Happy new year animenz🥰
Happy new year ANIMENZZZZZZ❤❤
PLEASE try playing Innocent Arrogance by BiSH
Happy new year!! Love your arrangements 🫶🏻
２０２４もアニメンズさんの音楽の中にいたい‼️絶対に…😆
この価値に代わりがきくものなんてありません😄✌️
When are we getting Kobayashi san's dragon maid opening 😭😭😭
As the strongest pianist, Animenz fought the piano, the king of instruments. He Began to stretch his fingers. The piano shrunk back in fear then, Animenz said : "Stand proud, you are STRONG.✍️✍️🔥🔥🔥
lmaooo
You can cook
Who let this man in the kitchen? He cooked pretty hard
"Stand proud, you are MY SPECIALZ"
DONT MAKE THIS A COPYPASTA
"Are you the strongest because your Animenz, or are you Animenz because you're the strongest?"
“It turns out… I am all of them… i am the dragon pianist.”
"are you marihuana because your made of canabis or are you canabis because you turned into marihuana"
"are you angry because you're bald, or are you bald because you're angry?"
@@TunaTunaV5 I am an angry bird.
"Throughout musicians and instruments, I alone am the skilled one."
“If I had to arrange a song as unique as this, it might be a little draining”
“But would you choke?”
“Nah, I’d perform”
You’re sick! Thank you for all of these bangers over the years man!
actually original "i'd win" joke, finally
@@swoopify2044 this comment deserves the pin
Well, We all know how that ended😂😂😂
had to like it to make it 666
What a groovy way to end 2023!
A couple of creative choices really leveled up the musicality for me on this one:
0:35: The melody jumps back and forth across the rolling left hand, using the right hand (!) to hit the bass line
2:20 The walking bass absent of any ornaments brings a calm resolution to the prior build up
2:28 The melody again jumps in between each hand, gently layered underneath the bass and harmonies
Happy new year!
Happy new year to you too! 🎉
I hope I can see your comments in my next videos as well!
@@Animenzzzwhen will said video come out
2:20 and 2:28 are my fav parts too! Its so nice!
i dare you to play this in shibuya station
not even sukuna is this evil
That would terrify everyone, however you never know. Sukuna might actually show up
With his sexy body build
@@FugUuuu-ne3gj what the hell is even that
@@FugUuuu-ne3gj🥶
WERE MAKING IT OUT OF SHIBUYA WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
just kidding bruh aint nobody making it out
No one is making it out of Shibuya
@@capybara6996 exactly
u not going nowhere with toji and sukuna running around the server
NO WE'RE NOT ‼️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥☠️
No we are not 😢
What a nice way to end 2023 and have a happy new year Animenz!
Not gonna lie, 0:10, that repeated notes imitating the lower voice vibrationsof the original was very unexpected,.
And have to say, out of all your arrangements, the detail is more well shown in this arrangement. For example, the multiple voices in 0:40, the accented strong beat in the choruses, the sudden silence in 2:20, the groovy 2:27, the emphasised "WE R SPECIAL" in the end, really shows your improvement throughout your piano arranging career.
Thank you! I am still learning a lot of things with each new piano arrangement.
The piano is truly the most versatile instrument ever 🎹
@@Animenzzz It's a complex instrument, which makes it funnn.
いろんなピアノアレンジ聴いたけど、これが一番…なんと表現したらいいか、感動したというか、好きになったというか、やみつきになったというか
楽譜読めないし、ピアノ弾けないし、当然音楽理論もわからないけど
なにがそんなに惹かれてやまないのか知りたいぐらい衝撃を受けた
リズムとアレンジ能力です
他も素晴らしいけど、彼はそれを売りにしています。
We miss you mate
yes, we do.
We do
Wow… The repetition of those notes at 0:12 really imitates King Gnu.
他の人のピアノだとよく「なんでそこ音変えるん...」とかなってあんま心地よく聞けなかったけど、この人のピアノはあくまで原曲をできるだけ忠実に再現しようとしてる感じがしてとても好き
Great work!!!!!!
Yes‼︎‼︎
ほんとに！！！！ほんとにそうなんです！！
I strongly agree!!!
This arrangement highlights what I love so much about King Gnu in the first place. I love when your right hand changes octaves depending on which singer is singing the melody. Love the contrast between their two voices
I think I am the only one that notice this part! As a fan of King Gnu for the the chemistry between two vocals, i also love this part very much!
Exactly this!

🎶U R MY SPECIAL🔁
I like you profil
Nana my favorite anime
@@dzakiramadhan3032 me too😃
bro paid 330 dollar and still didn't get a reply
Man that’s sad even after u paid 330 bucks
This is a beautiful misunderstanding 😅 The amount is in New Taiwan Dollars (TWD), not in US Dollars (USD). I believe Animenz has absolute freedom to choose whom to reply to, so it's okay 👌 But still, thank you for your comment and concern 💛@@xxriellixx978yt3
Person watching: “Can someone play this song?”
Animenz: “Nah I’d Win”
What kind of shitty failed attempt at a reference is this
Anybody still waiting for his new video like me a true fan😅😊
yes. I've been waiting for his new video every day since he uploaded this video.
Always….
So true
I check every week only to find nothing new 😂
Let him have his time to cook
Animenzさん、いつも弾いてくれて、気分を晴らしてくれて、ありがとうございました。もう4年間、いつも辛かったり人生の美しさが分からなくなったりするときにご演奏を聴かせてもらっていまして、ここまで生き延びられたのはAnimenzさんのおかげです！ご演奏を視聴する時、周りのことを忘れて、ピアノを弾く気が出ます。おかげで私のスキルも少しずつ上達しています。新しい演奏の動画は楽しみです！
MASTERPIECE FOR JJTSU FANS🔥🔥🔥
Yesss
A piece fitting for jogoat. When jogoat said Sukuna was strong it truly was an incredible moment.
fire in za hol
Excellent arrangement, love how you transcribed the guitar riff parts.
Thank you for a year full of Animenz' arrangements, please spoil us even more next year haha. Happy 2024! 🙂
YOU ARE MY SPECIALZ!!!!
Thank you so much Animez for covering this piece!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this FOREVER!
JJK S2 has been a legend and also the openings!!!!
Everyone, have a happy new year!
❤❤❤❤❤
It’s you again lol
WE'RE HONORED WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
While it's rare for Animenz to cover 2 openings from the same season
We knew JJK's openings were too good to not be covered by animenz
New videos when???
これ好きすぎて何回も聞きに来ちゃう。特にてれれれれれれのところめっちゃ好き
えええ🤩‼️この曲がアニメンズさんのアレンジで聴けるなんて😆めちゃくちゃ楽しみです🤗今年も素敵な音楽や思い出を沢山ありがとうございました😊
Hand crossing at 0:35 was way too cool, made me so happy to see/hear haha
Animenz, thank you for serving this 2023 with all of these astounding pieces of music. Happy new year to you and your family 🎉❤
It looks so fun to play with the jumpy right hand.
I heard this song before but wasn't one of my favorites, but your arrangements always help to view the original songs out of a new perspective. I don't watch animes, but through your channel i found japanese music. And now 70% of my playlists are japanese songs (don't know if they are from animes). I'm even learning Japanese just to understand the lyrics. I also played some your songs(Avid, Kyouran Hey Kids, aLIEz, Merry go round of life, took very long though) and my piano teacher is amazed by every song of yours. My goal is to someday play most of your songs, I will probably do it my whole life, but it will definitly be a fun journey. Thank you
Hi animenz, I’m a 13 y.o self thought pianist. I’ve recently learned a lot of your arrangements! Thanks to you, I’ve won many competitions and some prize money! I’ve now flew to Montreal and hope that one day I could see you in person
Good for you! I'm fifteen and Animenz has inspired me. I was writing music for a while and he's really improved my style!
Also I don't have any CZcams videos yet. Maybe someday 😊
@@EmptageFamilyyou should upload them! i bet theyre great. im a self taught player very young and i want to be able to share my skills too
@@ConductorSplytz I write songs I can't play perfectly 😂 so I'm afraid to. And how much does the equipment cost anyways? I'm really wondering.
he die
I have been waiting for your arrangement of specialz since I first heard the opening. The wait is finally over.
“the next station is shibuya” YOU ARE MY SPECIAL 🗣️🗣️
this video deserves much much more likes then it has now
When I hear a song like this with a very diverse instrumental and crazy vocals, I think it would be impossible to convey on the piano the whole spectrum of emotions that the song encompasses. But, Animenz exceeds even the most daring expectations and listening to this piano arrangement makes me happy as a baby and amazed at the same time.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH LOL, RECENTLY A FEW DAYS AGO I STARTED LISTENING TO THIS SONG ALOT AND YESTERDAY I WAS THINKING IF YOU WERE GONNA DO THIS SONG AND IT HAPPENED!!!!!! WHAT A WAY TO END THE YEAR! 🔥
The voicing and slight jazzy feel is so good!!
I absolutely love that you explain your reasoning for your arrangement. Whenever I'm looking for piano arrangements, I realized that they tend to ignore the "drumming" parts of the song that contribute a lot to the mood of the song. Love the stuff.
These breaks are hard to live through but with every passing day I’ll be even happier to see a new upload when he comes back🙏
Same, i feel nostalgic of the years (1 or 2 years ago ) he uploaded every week or two. What a time to be alive.
You make the piano sound so impactful on its own, just like the original song. Beautiful cover ❤
Hope you get back soon, we need you !
Believe it or not, I found a way to predict, when you upload. It‘s always when I‘m hungover. And I am eternally grateful.
can u get hungover everyday for all our sakes?
I started season 2 last week, and when I got to when SPECIALZ started playing, I was so hoping you'd arrange it. So excited for this.
On a more personal note; Maik, if and/or when you see this, I hope you know that you are the person I look up to most. I love anime, I love piano, I love classical music, I love anime music, and you just bring those worlds together, and it's truly spectacular. Thank you for doing what you do. Seriously. Wishing you a happy new year.
Couldn't have said it better myself 👍
Animenz about to become the Honored One with this one 🗣️🔥💯
I miss animenz
I miss you:(
I was just thinking of how iconic and catchy this opening was, and “I wonder if Animenz will manage to cover it” because it doesnt sound immediately ‘pianistic’ if that makes sense. Needless to say, he blew me away again🎉🎉
The way this season ended was so cruel, how are we supposed to wait for the next season now 😭
Thank you for the awesome cover and wishing you a happy new year, you'll always be our special as well.
Thank you for the amazing covers this year Animenz♥️ See you in 2024.
YOU ARE MY SPECIAL🔥
Rest in peace legend your piece will forever be remembered by me
"No matter what the others says, you are my special."
スキップするようなメロディーが心地よい🎶
Bro forgot he has a youtube chanel to maintain
Thank you so much for including the Romaji in the subtitles!!! I'm Vibing hard asf rn
とうとう弾くのかこれを。待ってた。
Thank you again animenz for dropping another jjk banger.
I’ve been waiting a while for this one 🎉😊
The detail that he shows in his pieces is amazing, this is true skill. The true dedication that he has for piano is immaculate, this is how the piano is meant to be played. Hopefully we will see you soon animez, and good luck for your next piece.
As always, the best arrangement on CZcams!❤
カッコよすぎる！！✨最高です👏👏
This will make my day. I THANK YOU AND YOUR TALENT.
Listening to your covers has been pure joy. I eagerly anticipate even more delightful pieces from you next year as well. Wishing you A Happy New Year.
Amazing arrangement while originally I thought this song could be very hard to be rearranged in piano, yet amazing piano arrangement of Animenz makes the song grow on me. Really want to also listen to EDs 燈 and more than words
Parece que era ontem que eu com 14 anos me imaginava tocando a versão dele de Unravel na frente do todo mundo me sentindo incrível e agora, com quase 23 anos, estou me imaginando tocando Specialz na frente de todo mundo me sentindo incrível também
Tomorrow im going to get my first piano and start learning it, all because of animenz, and the same feeling you had at 14 and now 23
Sukuna's fingers in full action with this one let's go.
We miss you, it's been 7 months since the last video, come back soon !
Is he taking a break?
He needs breaks sometimes, but we're still going to worry about him because it's been seven months since he posted this!
Hes been on like a massive tour recently, a break only makes sense
he die
dude, look at that harmony and texture. it's like something i improvise.
Weirdly enough I was hoping that you would come out with this yesterday and here we are my prayers have been answered
待ってました！！！
いつもいつも最高です👍🏻👍🏻
- But if Paganini will resurect at full power?
- It'll be really difficult
- Would you lose?
- Nah. I'd win..
i never knew i needed this in my life
i love the start u are the first one i see doing that fast part with your hand
Just one word "AMAZING"!!!! 😭😻💐💐💐
Thank you for a great year Animenz! Happy new year!
so，where are you now，animenz？
Animenz, when are you uploading a new video?
Maybe animenz was in shibuya
@@someone_riri9704Great……
WHO ID KILL TO BE YOU! THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST TALENTED LET ALONE HAND MOVEMENT, NEVERMIND PLAYING WHICH IS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL! I LOVE THISSSSSSSSS
Can't believe JJK S2 has already endeddd, its like yesterday when it was released
This cover is truly a special work
This man can literally adapt anything into piano
My man IS Mahoraga
OH MY GOD I was waiting for this from the moment SPECIALZ got released
Perfect...perfect as always
I'm literally in love with this piece
Love the King Gnu arrangements
This season left so much bittersweet taste in my mouth...
Loved your arrangement! It's a great way to cherish the season 2's ending and celebrate an awesome year.
Blessings fir alk of us in one more year to come! ❤
Its cool how he made the arrangement sound really good, even though i thought it was gonna be quite hard to make this sound good on piano only, for me it seemed like it would be really hard to make a good piano arrangement for it. Awesome work
Best piano cover of Specialz, as expected 🔥🔥🔥
編曲豐富度很貼合這首歌的風格 超讚♥
So ready for this absolute banger
I need you backkkk, hope you’re doing well!
he die
@@user-cn2ee2rs6iI hope you meant to put a question mark and not a period after that statement!!!!!
안녕하세요! 저는 연세대학교에서 애니멘즈님의 피아노 연주를 보던 여자어린이에요 정말 멋져요 특히 주술회전 스페셜을 치실 때 정말 감동이었어요! 그리고 저는 피아노 연주공연을 하실 때 정말 떨리고 너무 존경하시는 애니멘즈님이 오셔서 정말 좋았어요👍 다음에도 또 연세대학교 오셔서 연주해주세요! 감사합니다!!😊 다음에 또 봐요!
You should really consider doing “Wayward Daughter” from Final Fantasy XIV. Your adaptations are incredible, and you’re probably the only person on Earth that could do that song justice. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Animenz ❤
As always, a very intricate arrangement, and crazy skills capable of bringing it to life!
Are you the best pianist because you’re Animenz? Or are you Animenz because you’re the best pianist?
then animenz turned to his piano and said "stand proud piano, you were strong"

サビで全身にｳｿﾞｿﾞ………って鳥肌が来る感じがどうしようもないくらい最高で漏れそう
我从b站跑到这来催你更新😡👊
I've been listening to you for almost two years and I can definitely say that only your covers satisfy me. I can't find this professionalism and the emotions you create with your notes anywhere else. I didn't know that a person has unlimited creativity until I listened to you. The perfection and emotional explosions in your covers are the best feeling I've ever experienced in my life. I think yours are the best piano covers in the world. I wish you continued success, knowing that you will do even more excellent work in the future. Finally, I want to say something. The soundtrack of the Tanjiro vs Hantengu final fight in Demon Slayer season 3, episode 11 is one of the best and most emotional songs I've ever heard. I hope you know. I can't imagine this piece combined with you. I've been waiting for your cover since the episode came out. I hope you cover it one day. And I hope you read this comment.
I wonder, if you are alright. Please stay safe
I've been waiting for this cover so long! Thank you!!!
好好聽❤👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you for keeping us company and inspiring us with your amazing covers. Wish you a Happy New Year💜💜💜!!!
YO Jujutsu Kaisen opening again😍
ついに、長い間待ってました❤
This is going to be the longest 5 hours of my life
