Indirectly that_oneill_guy's fault

Sat down in front of a piano for the first time in years yesterday. Mostly inspired by the below. Practiced for about an hour. If I took up drawing again I could recover the full bourgeoise Victorian accomplished young lady skill set

That third one, my hands started compulsively aching in remembered pain. Man, did I hate songs that alternated thumb and pinky up and down the octave. /o\

I wish I had a piano here!

[canis_m]

I wish I had a piano here, too! Am resorting to practice rooms at the university music building.

...*downloads all the sheet music*

And I commented before I'd even gotten to the last link! (Which is the one that has no sheet music of course, man, why must I be so terrible at playing by ear. *g* For that reason, what I have always really wanted is sheet music to a piano version of Kaede, with the intro intact and everything. *_*)

[canis_m]

Yeah, "Kaede" is the one that really wants to be a piano ballad. No sheets here either, sadly. I did a cursory search with no luck--it turned up 3 books of Spitz arranged for piano on amazon.co.jp. -_- Come on, Japan, where are all the free fan-arranged versions on the internets?

[acchikocchi]

Ooh, I like this one, too. *_*

To date I have found exactly one Japanese sheet music website (not that I've looked extensively, though), which is v. extensive and quite nice but their Spitz was limited to, like, Masayume and Robinson. (Always Robinson!)

[canis_m]

Aaaaah b-but the site you linked also has "Mahou no Kotoba" and "Nagisa" and a version of "Sora mo Toberu Hazu"! As well as many other intriguing things! But I cannot view any of the scores, I do not have these applications sobsob.

(I know right, what is it with "Robinson"? With Chara it's always that damn "Swallowtail Butterfly" which, just, I am so over that song.)

I'm not sure whether the proper response is "I'm sorry" or "You're welcome." These sorts of circumstances arise with unexpected frequency. XD

I only dabble in piano myself, but that third one may be worth tackling. And then the fourth had to go and rock the violin and. Well.

The ballad is clearly the ~*Piano Memories*~ version that first plays during that "you couldn't sleep either?" scene in season one (of what? YOU decide! but there are probably petting zoo people in) and is also used during the credits for the third season finale. Which I guess means the Speedycake version is the first and second season OP and also kicks in whenever it is time to defeat the bad guy with the power of love and friendship.

. . . I have been awake for a very long time.

The last video was a pleasant and unexpected bonus! The hat in particular.

[canis_m]

From my end I'm going to go with "Thank you," I think. XD;

Someone needs to produce this anime you've described. (~*Piano Memories*~ version fffffft I sporfled.) In the meantime I'd settle for a video of Sweden and Japan from Hetalia doing the dance together to symbolize the beautiful genesis of this meme.

Hope you get some sleep soon!
