[Guitar Hero Anime] Haruhi Suzumiya - "God Knows" - Aya Hirano 【『God Knows』平野 綾】

--== Song Description ==--

Probably one of my favorite songs of all time, with probably the coolest ending solos I've ever heard in anime-related music, this is "God Knows" as performed by Japanese idol Aya Hirano and featured in everyone's favorite animu, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. In epsiode 12 of the anime, main character Haruhi and her fellow club member Yuki perform this song on stage as stand-ins for two missing band members of the band ENOZ during the North High cultural festival's talent show. Probably regarded as one of the best scenes of the series, and hell, probably one of the best animated in all anime to boot, God Knows is widely recognized by Haruhiists and Aya Hirano fans alike.

--== Chart Development ==--

In charting the song, I listened to the karaoke version and went over various fan-made tablatures of this song in an attempt to recreate the notes with unerring accuracy. Unfortunately, that didn't work out so well, as much of the tablature was quite clearly incorrect and the karaoke still had harmony voices in the background, which drowned out the guitars enough for me to not be able to tap them in by ear (since I obviously have no masters to work with). Aside from a few minor tune-ups that need to be made, the solos are almost completely correct, as well as the verses. The choruses, however, need a LOT of work, but before that happens, AYA HIRANO NEEDS TO KEEP IT DOWN. Damn harmony vocals

--== About Development ==--

This is my third GH3 custom. Initially I was inspired to do this after looking up "Guitar Hero" and "God Knows" on YouTube, and got 2 hits both featuring wildly and quite infuriatingly inaccurate charts. I created this chart while on a 6-hour drive from Orange County to Mammoth Mountain (northern California). It took me about 4 hours to create the initial version, and another hour was spent testing (much to the dismay of other passengers; a GH3 controller's strumbar is a LOT louder in a closed space like a car).

This chart has been revised to my version 1 release standard.

--== Difficulty ==--

I'd rank it 5/5. The song is quite tough. The opening seconds remind me of (a much faster version of) the guitars that open Judas Priest's "Painkiller". There are lots of sets of triple alternating notes and a particularly entertaining closing solo that make this song an enjoyable challenge.

By the way is this possible to convert mp3'sinto GH3 but with medium difficulty xD?

[yamamoto114]

@misiek12z You can't "convert" songs into Guitar Hero charts. A human person has to place the notes manually (like writing sheet notes), and it takes a lot of time, a good musical ear, and a strong grasp of relative pitch to do a good job. No computer program can take music and automatically "convert" it into a Guitar Hero chart.

That being said, the person who transcribes the song can do any difficulty they want, and for this one, all difficulties are available.

is this a real game with only anime songs ???

[yamamoto114]

@TheAmvCreater It's "real" in the sense that it exists. However, it's "fake" in the sense that it's not an official product. Neversoft did not develop it, Activision did not publish it, GameStop does not sell it. It's not sold in stores. No one authorized it's creation. It's a mod.

Dam Japan should really make this Guitar Hero version and add all anime songs, lol that would be so sweet and i would do anything to get a copy of this.

[Emmma360]

The GH game designers need to get off their fat asses and design and produce an Anime GH, wih all the epic classics that everybody knows from all the animes, including this. =_='

@yamamoto114 If you get enough songs, I think you could talk to someone about it becoming official. I'm sure people like me will buy it.
