Sadness and Sorrow (Special ver.) - Naruto OST [Piano]
Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/71256
This piano arrangement is essentially a "piano fantasy" of Sadness and Sorrow and it's retelling the whole life story of Naruto. His loneliness, his exciting adventures, and his dramatic final battle with his best friend Sasuke - all this can be heard in the music.
There are six chapters in this piano arrangement:
0:00 1. Sadness and Sorrow
2:32 2. Konohagakure
4:05 3. Hinata's Love
5:13 4. Jiraya's Legacy
6:25 5. Final Battle with Sasuke
7:17 6. The Seal of Reconciliation
Each chapter is using the melody of Sadness and Sorrow in a different variation. I also composed a few transitions to smoothly connect each chapter into one whole story.
1. Sadness and Sorrow 0:01
Naruto had a rough childhood and I still remember the sad scene, where Naruto was sitting all alone on the swing, rejected by his peers. I tried to imitate the sound of a Shamisen (Japanese Instrument) by using either tremolos 1:00 or finger repetition in 1:31. The Shamisen is heavily featured in the Soundtrack of Naruto and I simply love the ephemeral sound it produces.
2. Konohagakure 2:32
The next chapter starts with a “drop” in 2:32, portraying the swift movements of the Shinobis in Konohagakure, Naruto's home village. It represents Naruto’s Shinobi training arc and the melody of Sadness and Sorrow gains a lot more momentum with the accentuated rhythm in the left hand in 3:20.
3. Hinata’s love 4:05
Hinata played an important role in Naruto’s life and I composed a short original melody to introduce her in this chapter. I imitated the sound of a Shamisen in 4:05 to reflect Hinata’s gentle nature. The Sadness and Sorrow melody returns again in 4:40 but in a different time signature and slower tempo.
4. Jiraya's Legacy 5:13
The sudden key change from E-minor to C#-minor symbolizes the growth Naruto is experiencing after losing his mentor Jiraya. Flowing left hand movements are introduced in 5:19, foreshadowing the upcoming battle in 5:55. There are two key changes in 6:02 and 6:09 and the tempo is constantly increasing. All this serves as a musical buildup for the upcoming climax in the next chapter.
5. FINAL BATTLE with Sasuke 6:25
And so, the final battle has begun. Despite all the awful things Sasuke has done, Naruto simply cannot let his best friend go. The initial Sadness and Sorrow melody has evolved into an orchestral firework, transcending the limitations of the piano. As the music rages on, the final battle comes to an end with one final confrontation in 7:00 but it ends in a draw with an “open” chord in 7:04.
6. The Seal of Reconciliation 7:17
After all is said and done, Naruto and Sasuke finally acknowledge each other and reconciled for good. The original Sadness and Sorrow melody is being played again, but in G-minor instead of E-minor, showing the character development of Naruto. And last but not least, the piece ends with a G-major chord , symbolizing a new start for both Naruto and Sasuke.
Well then, this has become longer than expected but I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of the music! Sometimes the power of nostalgia can really do wonders with your productivity. I am also glad that I can still discover new ways how to arrange anime music on the piano and this “piano fantasy” is my next step to further explore the world of story-telling on the piano.
Thank you for reading, and I hope I can see you next Monday again with another sad theme arrangement!

🎧 About This Track
This 7 minutes audio journey has been thoughtfully composed to provide an authentic experience featuring rain sounds that have been carefully recorded and mastered for optimal relaxation.

Every element has been balanced to ensure a consistent experience throughout, without jarring transitions or sudden changes that might disrupt your relaxation. The audio quality maintains professional standards, making it suitable for high-quality speakers, headphones, or sleep systems.
The rain sounds in this track range from gentle drizzles to steady rainfall, creating a natural rhythm that the human brain finds deeply soothing. Research has shown that rain sounds activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones and promoting relaxation. The audio captures the full spectrum of rainfall, from the soft patter on leaves to the deeper tones of rain on various surfaces.
Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. Rain sounds have been scientifically shown to reduce cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. The consistent, natural rhythm helps regulate heart rate and breathing, promoting a state of deep relaxation. Many listeners report improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety after incorporating rain sounds into their routines.
Research in environmental psychology has demonstrated that rain sounds belong to a category called 'pink noise' - sounds that have equal energy per octave. Unlike white noise, pink noise more closely mimics natural sound patterns, which the human brain finds inherently calming. Studies published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology found that pink noise can enhance deep sleep by synchronizing brain waves with the sound patterns. The rhythmic, predictable nature of rainfall activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering a relaxation response that reduces heart rate and blood pressure.
