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.

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

And go ahead! ^^

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

That's what THEY say! XD

Yay! :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!

I afraid so. 8D It's inevitable!

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

I don't think you're mad, I think you're brave. XD

THE ASIAN REVOLUTION IS COMING!
Cool. :D Like grocery stores and stuff?
I heard yesterday how this one pretty girl was talking to her friend about her language course in Mexico. Apparently, there were many Taiwanese in Mexico and they all spoke "Asian"...

Yeah, I liked Hokkaido because there weren't so many people in there and it was a very peaceful place. I lived in a house which was in the middle of rice fields. 8D

Why, thank you. I feel empowered. :D

Yeah, grocery stores, specialty stores, lots of bootleg/pirated stores that try not to get caught, food courts... one of the Asian music stores is where I amass my Arashi material from. XD Speaking 'Asian' can mean one of probably several hundred languages (and if you include all those itty-bitty dialects in China and India, several thousand).

That sounds so poetic. :D I stayed in a hotel in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo and just went around hopping in the different districts for five days...

I feel so jealous because of those shops. D: Our Asian/Japanese shops in Finland are expensive and they never sell anything interesting (= CDs or DVDs, everything must be ordered online).
Yeah. Before that they said that people in Brazil speak Brazilian but then they corrected it. 8D I don't know if I should cry or laugh because they don't know the difference between a nationality and a language.

It was really in the middle on nowhere. I heard FROGS when we drove back to the house in a late evening.
But you got to go shopping more than I did. :D We went to some malls but I can't shop when I'm in a group, I'm weird that way, so I didn't really buy anything from there. 8D;;

I have to switch views now because I can't read a thing on the original page. XD

I went to the store today, but there wasn't anything I wanted there that I didn't already have. XD
See, my dad has this thing about ordering online, he's quite picky with where to order from. The first and only time I asked my dad to get something from eBay, it got lost in the mail and we lost forty-five bucks. So when I tried to ask him to order the 5x10 Limited Edition, it didn't go over well (well, what actually happened was that I got notification they restocked when it was midnight here, my dad was asleep and when I woke up extra early the next morning they were all gone and my dad still wouldn't order from CDJapan...).
Well, maybe they just didn't know that Brazilian people spoke Portuguese. Sometimes you don't know what the language is called, right? So you go with the flow. Like how people in England speak English, people in Spain speak Spanish, people in Finland speak Finnish. :D

Frogs, really? I think the only time I've actually heard frogs were at the provincial science centre. XD (I love that place, I'm such a geek.)
And I guess I did :D I went with my aunt and my parents, so since they had no clue what I wanted I just hunted around while they looked around in the store. I hope I get to go next summer. >_

Haha, I the original page a long time ago. :D

Ugh, too bad that you lost your money. D: I haven't ever ordered anything from eBay or Huuto.net (the Finnish version of it) because my mom whose credit card I use doesn't trust those places. And neither do I. I have bought stuff from CDJapan and Play.com instead.
Yeah, but it should be common knowledge that Brazilian is NOT a language. 8D I admit, I didn't remember that Brazilians speak Portuguese but I knew that they didn't speak Brazilian! It's like you're speaking Canadian! :D

I have heard them in Finland when I was a kid and went out every once in a while. But those Japanese frogs' sound was just so loud. XD
I hope you get to go. :D MY mom says that I could visit Japan once I graduate from high school but I'm kind of scared to go. I don't speak any Japanese and it's hard to find anyone there who speaks English. :/

My dad didn't trust CDJapan when I showed him the page... but he did say he'd buy from HMV. He buys from YesAsia too, so I suppose if anything ever comes up again that I really really want. My collection isn't that big, but it's already quite an investment so I don't want to overly splurge >_< (My friend who went to Hong Kong did get me the Everything single though, so I'm happy. XD)
But I am! XD Well, everywhere you go speak English there's something different. The British say loo when we say toilet. The Americans say soda when we say pop. The Australians say sunnies when we say sunglasses. :D

Quick, start learning Japanese! XD I admire self-learners, actually... I'm too lazy to actually put time learning (and I don't have that time anyways). People will know basic phrases - I mean, they have English classes there - but I guess it's a matter of whether accents get in the way and let's hope that Aiba is not an accurate representation of English in Japan XD.

(My English is starting to fail as much as Sho's because I don't proofread my comments. XD Oh well.)

And I just can't buy anything from YesAsia. That site looks so fishy. 8D
...B-but! *goes and hides in a corner*

I admire them too because I'm not one of them. XD I don't have any self-discipline.
Yeah, the accent is pretty interesting. Girlfriend -> gaarufurendo!
Yes, it would be very very danger if everybody's English was like Aiba's. 8D

(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...

[identity profile] jonskulainen.livejournal.com on August 21st, 2009 06:08 pm (UTC)
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 on August 27th, 2009 02:38 pm (UTC)
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...

*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.
