I got inspired by Anime Intro's to make this song. It ain't too long, and has certain characteristics.
Did you take inspiration from another creation?
Yes! Mainly 'Your Lie in April' and 'Inazuma Eleven'. Oh, and bands.

Very good sense of variation. It changes a lot while remaining very consistent and keeping the same musical themes. It sounds like an 80s/90s anime (despite the quality of the sounds) and it's great!
The melody and the chords since the bar 18 and are particularly pretty with the minor side.
And it’s awesome you kept the same theme with only guitare and piano afterwards.
But my ears found something strange at bar 30: on a chord of A (A,C#,E) you start your musical phrase on a D which is the most dissonant sound in the scale and you end on an F# (so a sixth). This is very unusual for j-pop or anime music. Maybe on this bar, the F#m was a better choice. What do you think of my analysis ? 🥸
Otherwise I'm really impressed by the progression of your compositions. You took risks, you accepted challenges. You have really gained in quality and you should be proud of yourself. I can't wait to hear what you will do with a DAW.
Huh, you're totally right! In fact, in bar 26 I do the same thing as in 30. I imagine one of these things happened:
- I accidentally wrote the wrong chord and did not notice;
- I chose this chord because of -idk- chord progression, but hear nothing wrong with it.
I usually hear dissonance from a mile away, but not here surprisingly. And in the section previous to it, I DO use a D chord instead of an A. Thanks for you analysis anyway, I had not spotted this (admittedly) weird section!
And thanks, both for your compliments and for sticking around :D. You are a true inspiration of what level I one day want to achieve.
(and in fact, I am also very curious what will happen when I use a DAW! Looking forward to it ;)
I don’t how you always use a piano and make it have so many different emotions every time, really cool song.
Thanks! The piano is the most versatile instrument, so I tend to use it a lot. It goes with everything :D
Love this, it's very old school anime and I'm a sucker for it! The choice of instruments work really well by setting those raw dynamics and may be the reason for that old school sound, keep it up!
Thank you! Glad you like it :D
