Solo Piano Arrangement: Kako (Konseki) - Ninomiya Kazunari

... this must be the first time I've ever put anything like this up online.

That aside! With the lull of summer and some time to spare, I went surfing around as usual and wound up listening to Nino's Iza, Now! concert solo. And fell in love with it. Then I tried looking for some sheet music for it (because I'm not very good playing by ear) and couldn't find any to the extent of my limited ability to search.

So I made some. :D Highly recommend using pedal, so the left hand carries a little more.

PDF + MP3 (MU) | JPEG (MU)

If you take the file, comments would be nice but not necessary (just because I don't always comment, and being hypocritical is counterproductive).

In the first compressed file is a PDF version of the transcription and an MP3 of how it sounded on Finale Playback. The second one is four JPEG images of the PDF, for anyone who's in a sticky situation and can't open a PDF, but right now the MP3 is NOT included in the second file.

I probably will not put up my own playing  - I'm honestly not very good - but if you would like to upload your playing of this arrangement, by all means, just please credit the transcription and send me a link because I'd like to hear someone else play it.

It's my first time arranging anything for solo piano (the only prior experience I have with transcription is a capella vocal work) so if anything sounds off, please feel free to leave any feedback for improvement. I'm also open for some requests at the moment, if anyone wants any.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy! I may do a piano/vocal arrangement, if inspiration comes.

(That's okay, he's one of the better ones.)

Sooner or later I will cave in and try and get something else, but I'm trying to wait until I get 5x10 for that to happen.
XD Don't worry, it's still called 'Canadian English' :D

Yaaaaaaaay for no discipline! It will be my downfall, I know it.
Well, Japanese have no letter l, so all the ls and rs are thrown together. It's interesting how many English words have made it into their regular vocabulary. Then again, English is the ultimate melting pot when it comes to absorbing other languages. 'Bravo'? 'Ketchup'? My English class did a language study at the beginning of the year. XD
No snake! No snake! And my personal favourite, DON'T TOUCH ME. XD I don't know how he does it...

Oh, did you order their new album? :D How cool, I didn't because it thought it was too expensive. But those preview pics of the album booklet are pretty!

XD Same here. I can't even start studying for an exam before it's the last evening. Thank God I'm a fast learner.
8DD The English vocabulary is pretty easy to learn too because most of the words are familiar from other languages.

It's a gift. 8D I don't know how he can still be so confident over his language skills. XD

Man, I wanted it so badly... the limited edition... but it seems I missed out. >_< I want a copy of the album regardless because some of their older singles I really enjoy (like Sakura Sake, Pikanchi Double...) and then I don't have the urge to go and blow my money on all their singles too. XD

My friends think I'm nuts because I play games and don't study all the time and still come out with good marks. I don't know, I can't study because looking through my notes I'll feel like I know it all already, even when I don't XD
A lot of the European languages are similar to each other, right? French and Spanish have similarities, for one...

Really, I can't believe how some people have the money to buy all their singles when there are LE and RE editions and three different version of double-sided singles. They're all mad! 8D

Same here. XD The fake confidence usually helps you pretty much even if you don't remember anything from what you should've studied. 8D
Yeah. Almost every European language belongs to Indo-European languages (except Finnish and Estonian Hungarian for example, which is just my luck XD) and then all Indo-European languages are divided into groups like Slavic, Germanic and Italic languages. They all have similarities with grammar and even vocabulary. We studied this a bit in our Finnish classes in junior high school. :D

Right? Well, I've bought a copy of everything that's come out since Dream "A" Live minus One Love. It's in the store but for some reason I don't feel like buying it yet. It's just sitting there... XD But I also have two concert DVDs (Time and AAA '08) and those make me happy too. :D
But that's it. No goods, no concert tickets, nothing else. 1) Online buying is always risky and 2) I don't really look...

Wow, that's so cool. :D I learned a bit about Proto-Indo-European in my Latin class, and how it seems like it developed in a place somewhere in Siberia based on the words that are similar and different.

Concert DVDs are great. :D I have How's It Going and Iza Now. I more into their older music.
And nowadays you can't even be sure if you can get to the concert arena with your ticket because of their crazy security systems. I think Arashi would make even more money if regular people could buy their concert tickets without having to join the fanclub. o__o;

[identity profile] fluidcomplexity.livejournal.com 2009-08-27 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, I saw Iza, Now! in the store I go to the other day and I really really REALLY struggled to tell myself that I was there to buy something else that day. So I hope it's still there.

Yeah, but the reason the fanclub was established was for those people to get tickets first instead and there's more of them than seats in arenas and stuff, so I guess that's why. I'll never have a chance at a concert now unless I move to Japan, get membership and then really push my luck. -_-

It's hard to be a fangirl. :D

Yeah, but I feel kind of sorry for those people who have joined Arashi's fanclub just because they want see them live but because of Arashi's popularity they still don't get tickets. What was it this year, maybe 20% or 25% got their tickets from the lottery? I would be more pissed if I had bad luck in the lottery than if I was late and all the tickets were already sold like in regular concerts. :D

My money's going away... I still have to try and get All The Best, then get that. (And once V6's new single GUILTY comes out I'll die because I want that too. I would say I wish I wasn't bored enough to look into them but I can't say that either. XD)

I heard it was like 20% and then something about priority for the Kokuritsu going to older FC members. Wow, it's insane! And because of this, at this moment I'm feeling glad I'm not in Japan. Because then I would have definitely not gotten a ticket and would have cried...

[identity profile] jonskulainen.livejournal.com 2009-08-30 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
*pats your wallet* Hey, senpai groups! I haven't listened to V6's music much but CHANGE THE WORLD Utao-Utao was really good and the PV is cute. :D

Whoa. :o I mean, that's great for the older FC members and all that but I think new fangirls would more likely hand over all their money to buy concert goods and stuff. I know I would. I'M ONLY THINKING OF MONEY HERE.
D: Then we could've cried together and spent the night watching concert DVDs and filling hate memes.

[identity profile] fluidcomplexity.livejournal.com 2009-08-30 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a recent development, and I can't say I'm not happy for it, but the list of stuff I want just kind of doubled. XD

Well, concert and concert goods are two different things... reading some people's con reports, the bath towels sold out fast. XD
And hate memes... well, reading the last JE hate meme really made me laugh at most of the stuff there. Some people can be really stupid.

[identity profile] jonskulainen.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, it's too hard for you. :D

...It sounds a bit scary. XD
Somehow I have always avoided all the hate memes. When I want bashing I visit fandom_wank and start reading how idiotic some people can be. >:D

[identity profile] fluidcomplexity.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm determined to try and balance it all. D<

I didn't actually participate, and since I was pretty new when the last hate meme came around, I decided to see what it was about. Some of it really made me laugh and enjoy myself. XD
