My latest video, "When It's Hard to Smile" - a very sweet, light-hearted piece written/arranged by composer Sebastien Skaf. Enjoy! https://t.co/Ou2Zdj3Na7

@Toastmarshmell1 @orange This is so great! 🙌🙌

Probably the darkest piece in the Katawa Shoujo piano collections, the 7-minute piece "Moment of Decision" takes you through anguish, sadness, and despair. Though there are a few glimpses of hope when the E Major theme briefly emerges. Enjoy! https://t.co/81pf46347T

Please enjoy my performance of Innocence, written and arranged for piano by Sebastien Skaf. It's a very sweet piano piece that takes you on a pleasant little journey. ☺️

New video out - Jitter from Katawa Shoujo! Composed and arranged by Sebastien Skaf, this is probably the most technically challenging and impressive pieces from the whole collection. And the shortest at just over a minute! Enjoy!
