This is my official plug for something I have been anticipating for three years: an official "Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts." Square Enix released the CD in Japan on May 27th, and a sheet music book today (June 17th). With 12 amazing arrangements by Kaoru Wada (和田 薫) of some of the best Kingdom Hearts songs composed by Yoko Shimomura (下村 陽子), it's one of the most amazing things I've heard.

Here is my favorite track, by far, already arranged for your listening pleasure. Sheet music available on my website.

And now for something completely different.

There's a Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q. © Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx. Now as a sing-along:

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

Happy Birthday, Amaya-san! Thank you for Cave Story, in all its magnificent glory; the music, the art, the story...

In addendum to the previous Cave Story Medley, here is the most emotional and amazing song from the game, now in a 4-handed version. Due to biological restrictions, I had to record it twice, once for the melody, once for the harmonization.

Stay tuned for the Wii game! I hear it's going to be amazing!

The long-awaited (?) piano version of "Passion" or "Sanctuary" from Kingdom Hearts. Since my video camera is broken, I only used a microphone - hence, no moving images. Yes, I really am playing it.

I do not own this song nor any part of it. © Utada Hikaru and Square Enix

Thanks to Arnold Morrison, whose arrangement I used as a reference; and of course thank you to Utada Hikaru for composing it :)

Here's a preview of the upcoming new video... the second Kingdom Hearts Piano Medley. Due to the immense support from all of you, I've decided to make another one. I uploaded the first medley last year on the 18th, and I should have the second one on the same day this year.

It will contain songs from Kingdom Hearts II, Final Mix, and RE:Com. The pieces I'm thinking of including are (in no particular order- yet):

- Memories in Pieces
- Scent of Silence
- Scythe of Pedals
- (The 13th Struggle)
- Namine
- Lord of the Castle
- Fate of the Unknown
- The 13th Reflection
- (Deep Anxiety)
- Rage Awakened
- The Other Promise
- (Castle Oblivion)
- (Showdown at Hollow Bastion)
- A Fight to the Death

I'm not too sure about the ones in parentheses yet- either because It'd be difficult transposing to the key it's in, or just because I don't know it well enough yet :3

Don't ask for sheet music, I have none to give. "Memories in Pieces" and Kingdom Hearts © Square Enix, Yoko Shimomura. Nobuo Uematsu.

Hey; I managed to make my camera work!

This is probably one of my all-time favorite pieces. If you have not seen the anime, please do so now; you have missed out on life until you've watched it. It is licensed in the US, so you should be able to get your hands on it.

"Seijaku no Toki" means "Time of Silence" unless I am mistaken. T'was composed by the wonderful Anze Hijiri who composed about half of the soundtrack for Utawarerumono alongside Nakamura Miyu. I learned this piece by ear; there is no sheet music for it. Please don't ask for any.

After playing this song for over a year, I feel "Tatakau Monotachi" from Final Fantasy VII is finally in a condition worthy of sharing. My right hand is in pain right now, but that doesn't matter... does it?

Most likely the hardest piece from the Final Fantasy series I've played so far - although J-E-N-O-V-A comes quite close.

Yes, I killed the slurs and trills in the right hand. Yes, I over-pedalled (again!) Yes, my piano is (painfully) out of tune. No, I will not give you the sheet music. Use Google.

Here's something in the spirit of February 14th. It was mostly sight-reading, and as such there may be a few slight errors. Also, the parts that were to complex to just read off the page I replaced with improvised arpeggios... so yeah.

Thanks to transcribed sheet music of the song by Duncan Bohannon (oh, and also thanks to Danny Elfman for composing it) - here is Victor's Piano Solo from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.

If you've seen the movie, you'll know that the last two (cluster) chords are intentional and the piece *actually* does stop there due to a sudden interruption...

All (c) to Danny Elfman and WarnerBros. for releasing it... And no, I will not give you sheet music, Google will. Use it. Or click here: http://people.cs.vt.edu/~jlinf ord/scores/Victor_s_Piano_Solo .pdf
