Digimon Medley - Animenz Live 2016 in Beijing

[Piano playing starts at 1:32, if you want to skip the introduction talking]
This video is a live footage from the piano concert in Beijing, the final city of my Animenz live tour 2016 in China. After playing anime songs for one and half hours in the Beijing Concert, my stamina was almost at its limit (you can actually see my face is quite messy in the video) but still, l wanted to play one special song as the final act:
A Digimon medley in memory of the late Kouji Wada.

He was the singer for many iconic Digimon songs and unfortunately, he has passed away this year because of health problems. Therefore, I wanted to play this Digimon medley to honor his legacy and his legendary music.

The entire medley was improvised on the spot and in this moment, my mind was completely immersed in the music and I was recalling all my fond childhood memories of Digimon.
I didn't even realized that people were taking out their phones midway and waving along the music, until I have played the last note. It was... how should I put it... a truly magical moment.
It's like I woke up from a beautiful dream.

And this is why anime (piano) music will always have a special place in my heart:
It is able to evoke incredible emotions of the listeners and that feeling of unity among anime fans - even if it's a just for a duration of a song - is simply second to none.

Anyway, my Animenz live tour 2016 in China was a big success and I had a wonderful time there: meeting up with all the fans in china, sightseeing in 9 different Chinese cities, eating excellent food - it was once in a lifetime experience.

Therefore, once again:
Thank you for your support and for your love for Anime music!
I wouldn't have come this far without you.
