I've always wanted to teach an animal piano.

And in theory, octopuses have incredible potential.

But what really sets them apart is that each of their eight arms has its own little brain, letting them think and move independ.

And that's way too much potential to be thrown in a fryer.

You don't know it yet, but you're going to be the greatest pianist the sea has ever known.

I wanted to make sure he doesn't do anything weird in the aquarium these first days.

Because now he's not only in captivity, he's in captivity with a YouTuber.

But before I can teach him piano, he needs to start to trust me.

First day, he didn't even want to take the food.

But maybe that's how octopuses shows love.

I think he started to realize that I'm the person that saved him from becoming Takoyaki.

Now, when Taku almost seemed to like me, it was time to throw in his first piano key.

I really believed me and Taku could do this.

But after watching him sit on his jar for five minutes straight, just staring into the void, completely ignoring the key, I was getting a little bit worried.

But then finally, he started to slowly approach it.

But he thought I had made a boat for him.

But Eventually, Taku touched the key perfectly, so I quickly rewarded him.

His touching was getting more and more frequent.

Once you got the hang of touching it, the next step was actually pushing it down.

Pushing isn't exactly natural for an octopus.

But when it comes to pulling stuff, Taku should write a book on that.
