Spy × Household is among my preferred anime series of this season and the more I listened to the ending song, the more I wished to play it on the piano. There are numerous fascinating Jazz chords in this piece and I learned a lot about Jazz while arranging this song.
Sometimes I choose to "approximate" allure chords in order to make them sound less dissonant. A fine example would be the chord development in 1:26 with somewhat modified chords. I think the "classical music" inside me is still attempting to make it sound as "smooth" as possible. However at the end of the day, the goal is to make an arrangement which is pleasant to listen.
① Staccato is king 0:04
To keep the relaxed environment of the initial tune, I paid a great deal of attention to highlight the unique staccato noise in the right hand. The pedal is practically never utilized in 0:04 and 1:32 to make the piano sound as "lightweight" as possible.
② Anya's "dream" scene in 2:31
The staccato and the emphasized rhythm is the driving force behind this arrangement. However the bridge part in 2:31, a gentle left hand arpeggio is being presented and the whole environment has become a dreamlike state. I was particularly motivated by the ED animation from Spy X Family, where Anya was floating in the sky at the end (while still dreaming).
③ The jazzy "Ending" in 3:28
The last chorus in 2:58 starts very soft but with each repeat of the melody, a new texture is being included into the plan. Eventually it evolves into a jazzy improvisation in 3:28, functioning as a finale for this piece. I was thinking of that Anya is dancing gladly in 3:28 with no care worldwide. (I think at this point, I might be too obsessed with Anya. But we require to protect her smile. At. All. Cost.).
Considering that I have been working on jazzy pieces recently, I believe it's time to upload a brand-new video on my 2nd YouTube Channel with another traditional jazz tune this month.
My second channel.
Well then, thank you for listening to my piano plan of Kigeki! Next time, I will publish a regularly requested tune from Shounen anime which I haven't organized yet on this primary channel. Can you think which song?
See you then!
Animenz.

Best pianist personally my favorite. I started on his Clannad op dango daikazaku then went to domestic girlfriend then unravel and like the song name everything after that quickly unraveled
I discovered his channel because of Unravel. About a year ago I guess.
I can sleep well tonight knowing Animenz-san is going to cover both the op and ed. Also Anya’s cute but Yor straight up wife material.
@Cruxade I may be speculating, but I think Johnathan meant : “Anya is cute AND Yor straight up wife material”
Or what you said, these small nuances create huge confusion.
😉
@The Chase what cruxade said.
@day break Johnathan’s reply
@day break you might wanna have a chat with the FBI
He’s done it. I thought he wouldn’t arrange this piece but he actually did it, the legend.
Yes!!!!! I really wanted this to happen. Animenz never fails to disappoint with the uploads!
Someone’s on a spyxfamily craze! I’m not complaining tho… love this chill song ED!
Last time we saw Animenz eating Peanuts. This time I expect Animenz saying :”Waku Waku” in his own voice.
He has failed you.
@l3oke.tto_ It was me who had false hope 🤣
There will be an epic voice reveal next time 😉
@Animenz Piano Sheets I will be waiting
@Animenz Piano Sheetsand he will say “waku waku”!
好喜歡這個風格的版本,改編的也很符合「喜劇」一詞💯💯
pressed the like button before the premiere even started
cus that’s just how good this arr.’s gonna be
Hi animenz, I just wanted to say that you have been an inspiration for a long time. I wouldn’t be a pianist doing diploma now if it weren’t for your inspiration.
Same here my guy. Animenz rekindled a spark in me that would never die.
Wishing you all the best for your diploma exam! (ง •̀ω•́)ง ᶠⁱᴳʰᵀᵎᵎ

Nice arrangement as always. I would love to see your interpretation of Kakegurui deal with the devil
E-Elegant! Very elegant!

@Karma it’s one of the better anime this year, with unique and interesting plot compared to the oversaturation of isekai these days.
@CM21 thanks bro, i will give it a try!
I liked this ed. when I heard it in Spy x Family, however I thought it might not be suitable for piano arrangements, as both melody and rhythm, like the “ordinary happiness” it is describing, is so casual and relaxed that it can easily become boring; on the other hand, if spiced with too much complexity, it loses its original flavor.
And today it came: Well, seems chill plus a dash of jazzy IS the right recipe to cook this home-made heart-warming soup!!
At first it felt like after dinner, the spy family is walking in the park, both Loid and Yor holding Anya’s hands, 0:58 Anya’s step was a bit more springy than the parents, 01:22 Loid and Yor still a bit shy when they look at each other;
then 02:06 Anya went about chasing puppies and butterflies, with Loid and Yor watching, chatting, and smiling, 02:35 the parents become a bit more open and relaxed, sometimes joining Anya on her adventures;
then at last, 02:54 Anya was tired from all the playing, fell asleep on Loid’s back, and 03:00 started dancing (and flying) in her colorful dream, and of course, in her dream, there were Loid and Yor.
Similar to Anya, today I’m making a lot of my comments based on imagination 🙂
Overall, a fun and warm piece that makes people want to make a family. Well, it only took Loid like 2 days! :b
Your comment could almost be used as an alternative “Animenz Explains” video description, haha.
Very good imagination, thanks for sharing!
@Animenz Piano Sheets (๑>◡<๑)
I was literally vibing *(insert cat vibing meme)* on the whole 4 minutes of this performance lmao. I love how you chose to make a relaxing arrangement after getting tired from Mixed nuts performance.
Thanks for this wonderful arrangement, Animenz!
Also, can we have a Paripi Koumei OP arrangement?
Now I have the gif of that white cat vibing stuck in my head. But I agree, the rhythm of this piece is literally made for vibing, haha
i love how other famous pianist gather for this masterpiece
Wow. I loved this. Thank you
