So I'm back with a sheet music - a request from a friend in deviantart which was being held for *cough* pretty long time.Originally played with acoustic guitar with a little touch from strings, Fureau Kokoro is totally a calm and earthy music. Though the sound is minimalist, it gives the proper impact of beauty and calmness.Overall I don't think this song is hard. Especially those who work with piano, I'm sure you won't encounter difficulty. For guitarist, well,.. if any of you once try, let me know whether it's hard or easy for you :)ENJOY!-----------------DOWNLOADDownload page: hereDirect download: here

O'riiiighttt!I'm still in high spirit since it's still new year scent ;) So I bring you a pretty quick score, a full spirit one from Devil May Cry. I hope, this song will bring you luck as it has fast tempo and full energy.I'm not an expert on electric guitar so I will not say anything about it. The score is actually a combination of rock band and orchestra so you can hear a lot of 'noise' and distortion. But that makes the entire score interesting. If you don't like the philharmonic version, buy the original OST so you can hear the d.m.c band version only.The tune is not hard if you play with piano. However, for strings part may give you problem. Most of it at least plays at 5th position. This is more suitable for students on middle to expert level. But if you, beginner violinist wants to try, just lower the tunes one octave. In this case, it is more sounded like viola but it is still worth to try. (Note: I haven't try by myself)So, ENJOY and have fun!-------------------------DOWNLOADDownload info page: hereDirect download: here

YEAH! I finished it! So yeah, this is the end year gift from me to you:a digital book consists of 25 musics that I had done plus a new one. Yes, it is from Nodame Cantabile!The GiftLet's talk about the book first. The book is quite thick but at least you have the most notable work from j-mAdness from 2008 to 2009. Please do not think that next year I will do the same, make a compilation for the projects I have done before December 2010! I (will) keep changing the gift.Nodame's EffectNow, about the bonus 'track'. Its title is Eien ni Tsuzuku Kono Machi ni. It is an original score from Nodame Cantabile. Nodame had a significant influence to me. I decided to learn violin because of it. If I never watched Nodame, I will never learned violin. If I never learned violin (though I'm quite good with piano), the idea to make this website will be zero, too. Aside from Nodame, La Corda D'Oro seriously gave an impact to me as well as Nodame.The score - Eien ni Tsuzuku Kono Machi ni - itself was special. I played the song (mp3) during my computer class. My students that are mostly lower level children -- amazed by the beauty of this song.I really hope that you, beginners of any instruments, would try to play this beautiful piece. Note that the mp3 can be downloaded separately since the book is quite heavy size. The book also has 2 links of download. If one doesn't work, you can go to the other one.Happy playing, Happy New Year! Wish you all the best. See you soon in 2010! \(^o^)vP.S: thanks to Eloni who let me use her work (back cover)! ^_^----------------------DOWNLOAD INFODownload pdf via deviantart: hereDownload pdf via sendspace: hereDownload mp3: here

Whoa!I'm pretty late to post here but sadly, I have the reason. :D I was so busy since last week for PTC and later on Wednesday I started to organize my works and anything that had been being pending for very long time. So, yes, I was totally working for school and it was nice since nobody around anymore.Lucky, we have long weekend here. I can take a rest which I really longed to for 2 months. Somehow, it brings back my energy and my strength to work up for this website. I just finished (still RAW) working on 4 transcribes from at least 12 that I planned and it will be posted by 2010.Year 2010 will be colored with many types of music. Some of video games are on my list and I'm still researching other songs, and for sure, more j-dorama sounds are coming up. So, if you plan to abandon j-mAdness, you better not :D *evil smirk*Back to year 2009. As a way to thanking you for keep coming and checking this site, I'm going to give you a surprise gift. Ahem, especially if you like a manga/anime/j-dorama with title begins with N. That's all for the clue *evil laugh*. The gift will be out before 31st December. So, keep checking here.Before I close, I want to say happy holidays for students around the world and enjoy your 'idle' moment of learning at school. ^_^

Are you struggling to draw hair?Admit it, most (beginner) artists would take 50% of their time to fix the hair of their drawing. It happened with me, and happened to almost students in my class during my college. It still happened to me until now when I even only take a coloring project.So, is drawing hair really difficult? Well, actually not. But most of us are loving details and want it look perfect. Actually, as long as you know how it works - I mean - the trick to draw hair, you wouldn't occupy most of your time with hair.The followings are drawing and coloring hair tutorial. Especially for coloring, either you work traditionally or digitally, the principles are same: you will always start with the softest color of the hair, and later choose areas for darken and darkest.Hope that the tutorials here can help you!

Before I get stuck with office work which will be hectic from this week to the mid of December; I must post this request first. I had done it for quite long time but I need time to transfer and edit the layout. This is the first time that I really have to use CorelDraw to edit the lyric page.I won't waste your time. So, this is what I can tell you about Sakasama no Chou. The song's tempo is moderate. I don't think it will be hard for you to play. Just carefully 'be alert' of the modulation part (page 3, bar 69). Since it's a rock song, there is no complicated chords that you're going to encounter. So, relax! :D However, for you who's going to sing rather than playing the song, be alert at the bridge (Part D). It really needs your breath and stamina. There are also accents.I'm totally suggesting you to play acoustically for musician if you're looking for a new style. Acoustic guitars with cello may give you a total different feeling. If not, then stick yourself with the original sounds.So, have fun and ENJOY!--------------------DOWNLOADDownload page: hereDirect download: here

Ok, I'm pretty excited with the upcoming game from KOEI though sadly I don't have wii.. (yet). So as by accident I found the trailer (just because I saw someone's page in MySpace who is a fan of GACKT), this is I can share to you:Samurai Warriors 3 will be released on 2010. Sadly, I haven't yet get the price from Amazon. When I get it, I will post it ASAP. According to some source, there will be 4 new characters. I compare the pictures at neoseeker.com. with the trailer in youtube, and obviously Kaihime is one of the new character that was previewed in neoseeker.com. The dress was totally looked alike. According to animemangamania, there are 5 new characters. So I did comparing the pictures and I find out that KOEI made some slight changes to the character's dress. That was why I failed to identify them by clothes except Kaihime. And anyway, I rarely have time to play Sengoku series.. :DSo, back to neoseeker's version.. There are 4 pictures: 2 on the first row with female and male. They are Kaihime and Katou Kiyomasa. After I compare the pictures of Katou, the only clear sign of this character was the big circle of his left cloth. On the second row, right part is Tachibana Muneshige. The only thing that I can make sure of him was his sword. Both earlier and final product had same design. Only one picture that I cannot identify at all. My best guess is that KOEI totally change both his physical appearance and cloth.So then, let's wait for its launch! ^_^--------------------------------SOURCES and COMPARISON:4 New Characters: Samurai Warrior Teaser Trailer (Youtube) and picture version (Neoseeker Forum)KOEI Warriors Media (Youtube)Animemangamania (Youtube)
