Browse piano sheets by Yuki Hayashi on Zen Virtual Piano. Yuki Hayashi has said, “So, the type of athletic field that I was in was called Men’s Rhythmic Gymnastics. For that field you need music to perform.” He has also said, “I started getting involved in arranging and picking music for my performances and my teammates performances and started doing arranging. I’m basically self-taught.” A gymnast who picked and arranged music for his own and his teammates’ performances was already working with music before he composed. As he progressed, he started composing music for his friends and wanted to learn how to make scores for TV and anime, so he created demo tapes and sent them to several music agencies. Sending demo tapes to several agencies after composing for friends marks a step from music-making among friends to seeking work. He has said that Hiroyuki Sawano, who worked on Attack on Titan, was one of the composers who liked his demo and introduced him to an agency, and that was when he started working on anime and TV dramas. A demo tape and a composer’s endorsement show how a musician who says he is basically self-taught can enter a profession through one introduction. He has said that his first big anime series was Robotic;Notes, and that he also scored a short film titled Ninnikuman, the All-Purpose Vegetable. A big anime series and a short film under one name show scoring across more than one format. For My Hero Academia he sits down with the music director at the planning stage of the entire anime production and listens to the music director’s wish list for the music they would like for certain scenes. Starting at the planning stage ties his work on the series to the production as a whole. He has said that the main theme, “You Say Run,” represents the Hero Academia world really well, and that for All Might’s theme he referenced a little of the original Superman movie because he feels that recent Hollywood superhero movies do not have much melody. A reference to a classic film’s melody beside a remark about recent superhero scores makes melody the point of comparison. He described how, in anime, a first meeting with the director and producers about the work’s concept is followed by a menu of requested songs from the sound director. He has also said he wanted to introduce a character with a strong female voice, and that he inverted the notes of Shigaraki’s theme melody and placed them after the final big hook of the newly made main theme. Placing an inverted version of Shigaraki’s theme melody at the end of the main theme ties two themes together.
