Free Bird - Haibane Renmei

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Mon, 21 May 2012 18:44:00 +0000

Sunday had passed. I actually test to access j-madness URL, and everything was just fine, except the j-madness' banner at the top didn't show up. So that was a relieved!

Free Bird is the first one I finished from the newest request list. The music is actually challenging. Especially when I worked to find the chords. However, main melody is pretty simple. Though it is nice to have several instruments take part as soloist, one musician can still take over the whole song. Of course you need to do some adjustment.

Accompaniment with guitar (one or two) and tambourine are the best. But feel free to substitute with other instrument such as piano, bells, or others.

A minimalist performance is fine, but if you can gather your friends, especially during the boring summer break, then why not performing as group?

Get some relax and E N J O Y!

Foo-ko - The Sky Crawlers

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Tue, 15 May 2012 19:41:00 +0000

A simple piece from notable composer, Kawai Kenji. I think I don't have to say a lot. I have a confidence that beginners can play the tune. For beginner pianist, just ask your mentor to help you to define the left hand style to play. Other instruments can take over the melody part.

Accompaniment will face only a little difficulty, since the accompaniment style is quite minimalist and chords are not hard to play.

So, have fun! E N J O Y!

The Sore Feet Song - Mushi-shi

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Fri, 11 May 2012 17:28:00 +0000

Oh, I love this song! Don't you, too? ^___^

It sounds very simple, minimalist, but just fit everything. Even though originally played with guitars and strings ensemble, I think if you want to change it into piano or keyboard, that is still making sense. So, just try it first.

Speaking about technical matters, I decided not to write the tempo in numbers, but just left it as "Rubato". Since the tempo kept changing and the song was truly moved with emotion, I think it was the best to left it open as rubato. This would gave you freedom to decide the changing tempo and how you want to put your emotion there.

And anyway, if you want to perform as a total instruments in, no one singing, I think flute, clarinet, and harmonica can be on your consideration.

Hard to play? Basically not. Well, the sharps signs might too much there.. but you know the song already, right? So, no more obstacle! Chords are also easy. Any guitarist needs the tabs, let me know.. You know I am "too lazy" to work on extra things and consider you all as genius :D

PS: I am not really sure that the composer was including Masuda Toshio but on one resource said so.. (I forget the URL).. So I will left it as Ally Ker and Masuda-san worked together. ^_^

So, happy playing! E N J OY!!!

Kokoro no Ingashi - Kogitsune Helen (j-film)

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Wed, 09 May 2012 18:04:00 +0000

Never watched the movie, but I had the soundtracks. I think, I was amazed and stunned to hear the whole scores. This was one of the best soundtracks I'd ever heard. Nishimura Yukie, the composer had done a very great job.

As I never watched the film, I couldn't say what the story about. So the music, and judging from the CD cover, I would said it must be a children film. And as I checked around the Internet, I was pretty correct. But I thought it might be something like like March of the Penguins -- a story telling documentary (I refer to French version, which is using a first point of view, as if the penguins themselves talked; not the English version). And... I was wrong! Kogitsune Helen was totally a fiction, a drama about the interaction between human and a baby fox. But this was not all I could revealed. What's the story about? You can check here.

The Comments of "Kokoro no Ingashi"
Kokoro no ingashi was a sweet music, a very moving and emotional. I was impacted without seeing the actual film. The sweetness was built by the piano, strings, and oboe (I assumed the woodwind sound as oboe). The opening was only piano in soft sound and high tone.. later it grows louder as the strings joined as accompaniment, and oboe "answered" the last part of the the phrase (Part B). The first will echoed as Part A' then jump to Part C, which has no similarity to Part B at all. You would encounter Part A" as a closing. To see this pattern, I would say this was almost like a rondo.

Even though there were time I would like to cry when I heard the music, this was totally far from sad music, in my opinion. More like a lullaby in the beginning. So you don't have to worry about feeling depressed :) My reason was because the instruments, the way the instruments were played, and the chords -- all together created a different nuance. The chords, especially, had very little of minor chords. It was limited to only Em, Dm, and Bm7.

Difficult music? Not at all, in my opinion. This piece could be played by beginners. And could you imagine a group of pianist, strings, and oboe beginners played this? Whoa, that would be awesome. If you find anything difficult, like the note was too high, or there were technique (in piano, I heard a glissando), skip it! Or, if you could force yourself a little, simplified it! As long as you had a determination to play, I bet you can! (^_^)b

Updated: I research about the film poster, you can see it at our Tumblr. Yes, we revive the tumblr back! Here is the link

So, do your best and E N J O Y!

Deku Palace - Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Wed, 02 May 2012 17:15:00 +0000

Hello again, minna-san!

Today I bring you a sheet music from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Well, I didn't make it but Kelsey. As I looked through the paper, it seems violinist can play as well. And of course, pianist can do it with no obstacle. For violinist, you might encounter 2nd or 3rd position, but still, it's far from hard. So this will be great for intermediate players whom now starting to learn higher notes/notation.

Other than that, I think all you have to do is to E N J O Y the music :)

Yahoo briefcase or Google docs might fine but it would meant I had to let you know the password. would it be wise?

Using meediafire or alike was not my option since I have to re-upload if the files are not being downloaded in 3 months. Then I find this place called box(dot)com which lets me filing for permanent and free. So I start uploading my files there. It will take times, so please be patient..

Nichijou - Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:19:00 +0000

Jigoku shoujo, what a nostalgic moments. So, this is a score from the second Jigoku Shoujo called Nichijou. The tunes are pleasant and I think it is played by duo guitar (correct me, if I am wrong.).

To my personal opinion, rather than Yasuharu, this score might be written by Mizutani. Well, simply because Yasuharu's signature works were mostly darker and 'heavy' to hear.

The notes are simple and easy to play. Even the chords are easy. Main melody can be replaced from guitar into harmonica, flute, or other instruments. This score is suitable for a small presentation. So if you plan to do a small concert/presentation at school, this might work well.

Anyway, just try and E N J O Y!

Kimi to Zutto - Detective Conan (j-drama)

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:12:00 +0000

Ending song for Detective Conan drama (2011), which was... requested from long time ago *sweat drop*. At last, I could finished this one. It didn't really hard to work, for me,.. but took times. This, include my decision to make it as 3/4 rhythm (waltz), rather than 6/8 (slow rock). I took this song as waltz rather than slow rock, because the whole songs always give a clear "pressure" on the 1st and 4th beat (if we count it as 6/8), so this is actually waltz.

Another reason why it took times was the fact that the lyric wasn't easy to get. I found some websites that provide the Japanese, but then when I compared, it had different way of writing. Even worst, the translation also had the same problem. In the end, I took the Japanese lyric from warmlyrics while the translation from deissyable. But again, as I compared both to the song, I found some mistakes. The warmlyric version mixed up putting the refrain and bridge together (I separated them into C part -- consist of C1 and C2; and D part for bridge.

The translation also had some minor -- but completely change the meaning. deissyable wrote:
"I love you, I am happy I got to meet you;
the one who wiped away my tears so softly."

I compared to the kanji/hiragana provided by deissyable in her Youtube and romaji by warmlyrics; and this is what was written:
"Aishiteru sotto namida nuguu
Kimi ni aete shiawase da yo"

Though my Japanese is... suck.. (hehe..), I am pretty confidence that the word "namida" means tears and the word "shiawase" means happy. So for this reason, I change it into:
"I love you, I'm in tears meeting you there;
the one who brings happiness."

My translation - however - might not completely correct, as I tried to mix with the existing translation. So, if any of you can translate the whole song better, kindly pass it to me.

Anyway, the music is not hard. I think beginners can participate to play the main tunes. Chords are pretty mild for difficulty.

So, happy playing and E N J O Y!!

Hi all!
So, good news. I just made a "pact" with Kelsey Jervis, who is a flautist and would work on transcribing for flute. So from now on, she will be my "sister-blog" and may transcribe my work into flute sheet music. That sounds great, right?

Now, if any of you need a specific transcript for flute, then you can directly request to her. This is her address: Rainbow Melodies: Nothing but a Flautist. If you are a deviantart member, then you can visit her at here.

Great to have you, Kelsey! ^__^

Mukashi no Yuujin ga Kawarazu ni iru Toiu no mo Waruku nai Mono da na... - Gintama

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:09:00 +0000

Another nice piece from Gintama that is suitable for duet guitars. I didn't really sure for part A' whether it is for oboe or clarinet. Hehe, I am not yet mastering all sounds. If any of you is a woodwind instrumentalist, then please inform me about this.

Since it's an easy piece, I encourage beginners to study. Nothing is hard here. If you find it hard to perform as group as in original sounds, creatively switch into whatever instruments you are good at. This piece is still sounding good with piano as accompaniment, flute, or even violin. It will create a different nuance with harmonica but I think it will sounded as great as original. The point is,.. don't be afraid to experiment. The more, the merrier. So, just have fun with this music, ok? ^_^

Sekijitsu wa Kaeru - 11eyes

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:42:00 +0000

I am back..!
another work from 11eyes. This time a strings music. It's kinda sad music, yet, emotional. I love it and I think it's good to share it here.

As I see the final form of my transcribe, I would suggest this to be played by up from intermediate violinist to expert level. I saw many position will be used. Since this is suggested for experienced players, I didn't put up any expressions or techniques needed.

However, beginners to beginner-intermediate level can try by lowering the octaves. In this case, coordinate with your mentor, unless you know how to write notes. This piece is also good for sharping your emotion towards music,.. so, practice and I hope you learn something new!

E N J O Y!

Shissou - Beautiful Life (j-drama)

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 18:23:00 +0000

I like to work on different ambiance of music. The reason I took Shissou to work was because this music had tension inside. I would like to think that this might played when the character was rushed to run somewhere or in critical situation.

Another reason why I took this music was because for beginner violinists, they can treat this piece as etude of staccato. So, no more boring for study, right? :D

Nothing is hard for this piece. Beginners to Expert players can play without facing difficulties.

So, happy playing and E N J O Y!

Tateyo! F Class!! - Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:10:00 +0000

I love the fact that Nijine, composer for Baka to Test made this epic score. I mean, if only Baka to Test was a serious film, this would make me seriously took it to my heart. But.. this is BAKA TO TEST! And yes, it's a comedy! And having this super epic score, in the end, really made me smile. Every time I heard it, I just imagined that F class started their fighting against the other class.

What I really like from the score itself, is the fact that Nijine put various instruments without making them "overestimate". Expressions were put on various place, so it's important that you take them seriously when playing.

If this score is played by piano or similar instrument, it is not a hard piece. Strings, especially violin, will find this challenging. I had not tried it, but I assumed that violinist will encounter 5th position to 7th position, probably from bar 20th. For other instruments, I expect you already know how to handle your own instruments. If you find it difficult, don't give up yet. Get your mentor, or any expert to help you.

Good luck and E N J OY!

PS: for Japanese, I wish you good luck with the first day of school. It should be in April, right?

*yawn* I just finished my second appearance in bazaar. Very sleepy but cannot sleep. So I decide to write the first post on April. Whoa, it's really fast that time moves on!

Well, I only want you to know that the second batch of request is almost done. I am about to start working on the request #6, while the last request was easy, as it's only transcribe from Clef of G to Clef of C.

I also received somerequests that I rejected last month, and also new requests that I accepted. Since the first 2 request of the new batch are pretty hard and challenging, please be patient to wait.

Happy April, April Mop!

Tsuka no Ma no Shiawase - Katekyou Hitman Reborn

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:29:00 +0000

Thank God I can finished this score! ^_^

Not a very complicated score, in my opinion. However, the changing key signatures can be a good challenge. Beginners might have difficulty, but I think Beginners-Intermediate level can play this already. The chords are pretty easy. A piano or guitar can work well as accompaniment.

Anyway, if you notice, I put "Piccolo" as the main sound at part A. I was not really sure if it was the correct sound or not, but to my Sibelius, it was the closest sound. Anyway, feel free to use whatever instrument you can play into this score. I am pretty optimist that anything will still sound good.

Guys, please help me and Chin Soon Sun to spread the release of WARRIORS OROCHI 3. Twitter, Facebook, or talk to your friends are already a meaningful way for us. Thanks for helping!! ^_^

Warriors Orochi 3: release soon!

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:30:00 +0000

After the long wait, I think this is one of the best news I find out. Thanks to Chin Soon Sun, whom sweetly announce about the release via his Facebook (and lucky, I saw it... I rarely open my Facebook on that certain time..)

So, European fans can get it on April 6, 2012 for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. For US residences, it is available in PlayStation 3 version via digital download only. For the Xbox 360 version (US), it’s coming on March 27, 2012 in stores.

For Asia, I will rely on my source via Play-Asia. Play Asia.com so far only stated that the game will be availabe on March or April 2012 depend on region releases, but you can already pre-order. They will sell several versions:
Warriors Orochi 3 - EU - April - PlayStation3
Warriors Orochi 3 (The English version) for ASIA - March - Xbox360
Warriors Orochi 3 - EU - April - Xbox360
Warriors Orochi 3 - US - March - Xbox360

For Asia region, I don't know whether it is fully dub into English or just text in English. Duh, I wish they dub it Japanese >.>

The Good News
Anyway, the good news is... the game is using Japanese seiyuu (dub) with English subtitle. Chin didn't really specify in his blog - Insp. Chin's Blog, whether it is for all releases in US, EU, and Asia, or only for EU. Hopefully, everyone in this world can enjoy the Japanese dub.

The second good news, new characters are made and... even some "guest stars" like Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden series will mark his landing here. What? No, I don't joke around.

Go see the trailer first and see yourself what's worth for you to buy.

EXTRAAAAA:
oh,.. still want to see Hayabusa? ;)

Happy ordering and gaming!

Requiem - Angel Heart

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:19:00 +0000

Time for sheet music again.

My favorite score from Angel Heart. Like usual, I didn't ever watch the anime, so I didn't know in what scene or episode this score played for the first time. My personal feeling, when I heard this,.. it's far from sad. It's more to.. serene, peaceful, yet I wanted to cry when I heard it.

Two pages: for Clef of F and Clef of G
Because the original sounds were mainly played with cello and accompanied with piano, the first transcribe is for Clef of F (cello and other instrument in the same range). But I know that other players might want to try as well. So, I also made a transcript for Clef of G players (violin, piano, harmonica, flute, and those instruments in this range).

I hope this will be sufficient for you. If any from Clef of C needs the transcript as well (for example, for viola), don't hesitate to notify me.

The Beauty
I think, Iwasaki was perfectly put cello there. The ambiance, for me, is much better than played with violin. The low sounds made an effect of calmness.

I encourage beginners of cello players to try. Just do your best because the notes and pattern are not too hard. Consult with your mentor, how to produce the sounds the best.

For intermediate players, I think that you already have to put the emotion correctly. The sounds are emotionally up and down, and it can be achieved by mastering the bow. So good luck!

Other instruments which are not part of Clef of F, feel free to play, do your own interpretation.

Happy playing and E N J O Y!!

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:09:00 +0000

OMG, this is the last finished sheet music stock that I had *scared*

Then I will start working another ^_^. Even though I will participate in another bazaar, it's already less stress, since I already have stock and knew how to work in bazaar.

So, speaking about this score, it's one of the most beautiful piece I'd ever known. I wasn't really sure, but seems this score was used at some earlier episodes in Baka to Test. Probably during the sunset at school.

Anyway, this score is pretty easy and perfect for beginners to play as group because it has different parts for several music instruments. It is clearly using guitar (probably two guitars), strings (and mostly violins), something like harmonica or closely like pianika. Feel free to use your own instruments that you mastered.

So, happy playing and E N J O Y, guys!

Dramatic COSPLAY

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 16:47:00 +0000

For me, cosplay should be dramatic. You are not a figure doll. You are dinamic to bring up your character alive. I don't mind see "pose" of cosplay but I love a photography cosplay which telling you stories.

So dramatic cosplay, for me, is a cosplay where the picture has the quality of drama (story and acting), details (location, lighting, costume), and even.. whether the character suits your face contour (shape) or not. For the last one, it usually affect my mood. There are people whom not suit to cosplay a character because the face doesn't fit the hairstyle. Just like our normal life, our looks will look be great when the face and hair match.

So as I am wondering around deviantart, after the craziness schedule previously, I found some nice dramatic cosplay. Like usual, suppert the cosplayer by looking at their main page and gallery. I warn you that some pics my disturbing.. but.. well.. that's dramatic.

Do you hear when the devil cry? by ~Askarothdeliran

Even though the cosplayer looks "cute" to be Dante on my personal opinion, the location, the lighting, the use of fog, are just right! Even the expression was right. So I enjoy looking at this picture.

Gintama - 01 by *Kanasaiii

Hijikata's wig seems a bit unfit.. but what makes me smiles and enjoy the picture is... their expression! Kagura's cosplayer was truly sparkling. The cuteness was there and her body language was correct. She became the center, not only because of her genuine expression, but also her clothes. While others use blue, she's the only red. So this is a perfect balance color. Seeing them enjoyed the picnic, I feel like I want to ask, "May I join?"

WCS 2011 - Le Chevalier D'Eon by ~BloodstoneDesigns

I think I rarely see people want to cosplay Chevalier d'Eon.. and probably I was the first person ever transcribed sheet music from this anime >.>
You know what,..? I love the dress! You have to see it, enlarge the picture by clicking the title, and see the great details on the clothes. Actually, the cosplayers have 2 version of this similar pose: one is outdoor, and one is the one I featured here. I picked this one because it's more dramatic. The lighting exposed the clothes better, and you will also thrilled by their pose. It's beautiful, yet, I think, there's a little sadness inside.

This might be the simplest cosplay I'd ever seen. Yet, it's beautiful. I mean, well, nothing outstanding from the clothes,.. you can find it, wear it daily. But.. the pose, the location,.. it's telling something. I like the warm sun light in front of her, while it didn't make her under-exposure (lack of light). I feel it like sanctuary, a quiet and calm place where you can reflect yourself.

Sengoku Basara:nel mare sangue by *Ashitaro

I like her expression. It has a sadness there. I wish for extra dramatic pose but what I am interested is the water. The color that from "red" to white, helps create the mood or symbolism.

Trying to survive by ~Artyy-Tegra

I like how the hair that messy a bit in front of the character, that's truly helped to balance the composition. The concept was nice, the pose, and position (angle) of the katana were also good. The drama was well captured by the photographer, positioned him/herself a bit higher than the cosplayer. I wish the cosplayer put a little scratches at hands or face to bring more drama to the picture, but overall, this is good already!

His Butler, Meets Death by ~LALASOSU2

Now, this is a sample of creativity! Lala told how she put "blood" on her face and about the "blood" behind her. I found this picture... intriguing.. rough,.. yet.. it looks great. I loved this picture because Lala didn't try to look beauty: the messy hair, is trully look messy and I love the fact she didn't try to make Sebastian's death looks beautiful.

So that's my personal choice of dramatica cosplay. Maybe in the future I will come again with other intriguing, beautiful, and comical cosplay photos.

E N J O Y your day!

Fa do seate o fles, en toura - 11 eyes

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 17:05:00 +0000

Here is another post. Pretty good that today I have time (no, actually I "create" the time for J-mAdness. I feel very bad not posting anything on last week.

Back with anime, which I believe you guys know it well (and I don't,.. not even ever watch it..), 11eyes. Note that this is a sheet music from the anime TV series.

Last, last week I mostly posted song, so I feel good to post something for strings and orchestra again. The music is not hard. I am sure the violin part is pretty alright for most Beginners. For Intermediate-Advance and Advance players, feel free to put the notes into one octave higher, if you think that my version is still low.

For musician use Clef of C and Clef of F, contact me if you need the sheet transcribe into that clef.

E N J O Y!

End Title - Tokyo Love Story (j-drama)

noreply@blogger.com (mitayashi) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:21:00 +0000

Oh noeeeeeeeeeeeeesss!
So, I have lots of homework here T_T

But fine... lucky I still have some sheet that I've done from early February and supposedly posted week ago. So here we go with another classic J-drama called Tokyo Love Story. Yes, it is considered classic and well known in Asia. I checked my friend in Indonesia and Philippines, and both had watched them long time ago. Some said around 1994. @_@ wow.

What's great about Tokyo Love Story is the chemistry between the main characters. And I just found out that it was actually based on... manga! So, I kinda wonder what the manga looked like. Well, definitely really late of 80s or earlier 90s, I suppose ^^

The score was having several types of variations, under different titles. I took this title because this was the simplest one, and the clearest one to hear. So I assure Beginners can try.

So, happy playing and E N J O Y!!
