Oh wow, thank you so much! :D I have been hunting down piano sheets for Nino's angsty solos because they're exactly that kind of music I love to play. 8D
I like how you've done variation for the left hand's melody. The song sounds more "alive" when the left isn't just different chords played with eighth notes.
I tried to play it with my fail!skills just now. Is it just me or are those bars where C♭ notes are supposed to be THAT dissonancy? (Okay, I'm guessing that's not even a word but I mean that the notes in those bars don't sound pretty together. 8D;;) The right hand sounds just fine but when you add the left, it sounds a bit weird. However, the whole thing sounds good in the mp3 so my piano might be out of tune, as well as my ears. :D
Gah, it's hard enough to write regular English but now I had to use weird music terms. I think this comment sounds more gibberish than English. 8D
You're welcome! Made the sheet music for the exact same reason. Angst away, little child...
Thanks for the feedback, too - I just ran upstairs, sheet music in hand, to try and figure out what was wrong with the C♭bars. My one conclusion: Nino writes his melodies that way to confuse people like me. XD Sorry, I don't even know what that chord in those bars actually is, I just clicked in some notes on Finale, thought 'hey, that sounds like it' and went with it. ^^"
Don't worry, I understood every word. Even 'dissonancy'. :D
Kako is Nino's the most angsty solo song ever. 8D It sounds like not only Nino got his heart broken but that Ohno the girl shattered it into pieces, beat him up with his own guitar and called his hair style girly. Yume is the second saddest solo but you can't blame Nino for it because I accidentally found out that Yume is a cover version and not made by our angsty boy.
Haha, it's okay. Maybe the problem is me since no one else has mentioned about it. :D I haven't yet learnt the whole song so I don't know if those bars will stand out at all when I'm playing the song faster. And if they will, LET'S JUST BLAME NINO.
Yay! :D I spent like a half an hour trying to find the correct terms from wikipedia. XD
It's okay, though, because then IN COME THE FANGIRLS and everyone's happy and Nino returns to his snarky self while he basks in the attention :D
We'll blame him, but in the end we still love him. XD
Wikipedia is your friend~ No, I study music at school and I have background in piano, so I'm familiar with dissonance and harmony and chords and resolution and all that other musical gibberish which then gets jumbled with all my science class terms... ^^
THE POWER OF FANGIRLS. o/ In the end, he starts dancing Himitsu with flailing arm actions. 8D
Yes, the boy with angsty love songs steals our hearts. XD
I have also taken piano classes but you don't really learn English terms in those lessons. :D Omg, science classes? I have taken a lot physics classes and I was so confused when I heard there the same terms as in my piano classes. :D
I get so easily hooked onto that song... and the dance moves XD
Well, I'm pretty sure I don't know any of those terms in other languages, so kudos to you for learning them ^^ I think the closest I know is probably French. Because here in Canada everything national is labelled bilingually... heck, I don't even know those terms in Chinese and that's my mother tongue >_<
And agreed with the Physics lessons, over half my class was full of band geeks like myself and we got really into the whole resonances thing. XD
Finland is also bilingual country with Finnish and Swedish as national languages. Still my Swedish skills are almost nonexistent although we're desperately trying to learn it at school. :D I speak English better than Swedish! Your Chinese situation is a bit bad. 8D
XD I once tried to explain my brother how he can tune his guitar by listening the guitar strings' and piano notes' interference. 8D;; He didn't warm up for the idea.
I don't think I know any friends who have learned to play piano (or any of the theory that comes with it) in Chinese, so the piano part's not too bad. But let's say that my Chinese needs practice. XD (I fail at any European language that requires me to roll my Rs...)
XD Then of course you have to ask whether one of the two is already in tune or not...
But hey, some people say that you can never really learn a language unless you live in an environment where you have to use it all the time. :D I know families who have lived in Finland and moved to England or France when their children have been really young. The parents wanted that the kids learn to speak Finnish but they didn't learn the real R in another country so the parents sent their children in Finland as exchange students. 8D
Ahem, yeah. My piano has never been in tune so... :D We actually downloaded a program which listens to the sound of a string and tells if it's too low or too high. We can be deaf and still the computer tells us if our guitar is in tune or not. XD
True. That's why, to improve my French, I want to go to a university in Québec where there are people who speak French regularly. :D (Exchange students, that's so cool. I want to do an exchange but my school's non-semestered so I'd have to go for a year and spend an extra year catching up.)
Oh, that's like the tuner I have for my trombone. XD I clip it on and it senses the vibrations to tell me whether I'm too sharp or too flat. Except my teacher in band insists we try using our ears too.
Ugh, sorry for replying late. My internet connection got jammed every time I tried to visit livejournal. It was like that the whole weekend. D:
I think Québec sounds great. :D What would you like to study there? The Swedish speaking population of Finland is so small that for me it's really hard to improve my Swedish unless I move all the way to the west coast. About 5-10 % of Finland's population speak Swedish. It's hard to know the right numbers because some speak ONLY Swedish and some are bilingual. Well, usually everybody here spends the whole year as exchange students. I used to want to be an exchange student but then I realized that when I came back I would have to stay at school a year longer than all of my friends. I didn't think it was worth it. 8D Maybe I'll spend a year studying in another country when I'm at university...
Haha, cool. :D Teachers just don't let us to do things the easiest way, do they?
Hey, do you mind if I add you? You seem like a great person. 8D
Silly internet XD No, don't worry. It happens to me all the time.
I want to study at McGill university - I've been interested in genetics and stuff for a while and McGill has some of the best research facilities in the nation. It's an English university, but at least I'll have opportunities to speak French in the area.
I think the Swedish thing is like the French situation here - French is a compulsory part of the curriculum, but there are only certain French communities in the country and they're kind of scattered but mostly in Manitoba, New Brunswick and Québec.
Yeah, I want to spend a year studying somewhere else in university too :D Not sure where I'd go, but I can figure that out later.
It's supposed to build 'good character' and 'learning skills' XD
Yeah, maybe it tries to demonstrate to me how addicted I am to Livejournal. :D
Oh, sounds great. I had a genetics course last year and it was pretty interesting but I find all the other biology courses boring. XD That's why I'm concentrating on maths and physics.
Yeah. As I said, here the most of Swedish communities are on the west coast. Åland is autonomous part of Finland and it has Swedish as its official language. In the east or north you will most likely run into Russian. I have heard people complaining about compulsory Swedish because if they're living in those areas they will never need Swedish and they would prefer learning Russian instead.
Same. It would be great to go to Japan. 8D I just don't know the language and they don't rarely have English programs there. At least physics programs, I don't know about others. :D
Or maybe just the internet in general. The wonders of YouTube...
XD Biology's pretty hardcore, most of my friends don't particularly enjoy it. I'm also taking what might be considered a bit more of an advanced course that culminates in me taking the AP Biology exam next year. People often ask why I do this to myself. I'm not quite sure.
Ah. It's like how Asians have started engulfing where I live, myself included in this engulfing movement. XD Canada's pretty multicultural, but even my old science teacher started taking Mandarin classes because there were so many Chinese parents who didn't speak English.
It would be, I went last year for five days as a trip while I was in Hong Kong. I was blown away and spent a lot of money but I wasn't into Arashi or JE back then and now I regret it. So I sent requests to my friend who went this year. He was quite baffled with all the lists...
... sometime or later this conversation is going to reach the point where it turns into one-word lines. XD
But hey, isn't it good to study as much as you can at this age because the older you get the slower you learn new things. All my old friends ask me the same question because of my physics courses. 8D
Isn't that cool, you're part of a MOVEMENT. XD
Same here. I spent a week in Japan (our town has a sister-city in Hokkaido) and I didn't know a thing about Arashi. D: But I bought a Junon magazine, pretty boys anyhow!
That's true. Though I take what are considered the 'hardest' courses and they all think I'm mad...
I AM. IT'S THE ASIAN ATTACK. There are so many Asian malls in my area now it's kind of scary. I didn't really think about it until now but my area is really quite Asian.
Wow, a sister city in Hokkaido? That's cool, especially since it's not usually a tourist place. I bought a whole bunch of other CDs and stuff though, so I still ended up spending a lot of money. XD
