Hi. Just one quick word. Dynamics. When one is presenting a song that basically repeats the same thing over and over again, dynamics, the rising and falling of volume can add flavor to the repetitive nature of the music. Try adding it to your playing. Experiment with it. Increase some phrases , and others turn into gentle echoes of the prior phrase.
The finest little bit of rubato at the end of sections, may add depth to your expression. Music like this needs coloring . The notes by themselves are really just an empty shell. I look forward to listening to you expanding your tone colors and hope you decide to post more in the Future.

Thank you for your reply Kelly, and I truly understand your suggestion! I highly accept your request. However, I would like to say that my piano's touch is not that good. Basically it is not such a very good piano. Therefore, certain notes that I need to play them as soft, they sound as if I'm making them forte. I try my best to add colouring to the song and I will surely try to improve in it in my next videos. Also, the quality of the video might not be too good to make the song sound clear and beautiful.
On the other hand, I will surely take your advice and improve in dynamics
. Thanks for replying, it meant a lot! And will be looking forward to post more videos.
