Yo, thanks for the comment + fave on my vector :3

Yes it truly is xD. The good news is I can stream 1080p from Anime Network on my TV through my HD DVR ^^.

Glad I could help, lol. I think the purpose of not putting in another sharp there in that key signature (for the lower F) is that a lot of people who are fluent at reading sheet music recognize certain scales when looking at the number of sharps, and if there were more sharps for the same note it would look convoluted.

Yah, lol, it's because in that key (I think), every note that's an F is supposed to be sharp unless specified (hence that natural sign).

Yeah it kind of sucks but downloading might kill my computer xD.

I stream most of my anime off of these sites:

AnimeFushigi

AnameAvenue

AnimeFreak

AnimeCrazy

Lol yeah she's quickly moving up my list of fav anime girls xD. I would say give it a try for sure, I've seen 3 episodes and so far there's real potential.

Yeah same here cant wait for ZNT, I just hope they make it better then the 3rd season. Have you checked out Guilty Crown yet?

Yeah, it's because of the key. Every "F" note you're supposed to play in that song is supposed to be sharp because of the key signature. They specify that the "F" you asked me about should be normal. It can be misleading, but if you look at the sharp they wrote (with the time signature before the starting measure) and drop it an octave lower, and make it natural, it will be that natural note.

Your welcome, so you looking forward to any of the Winter anime? lol thanks.

Hey Aki thought you might want this link Winter 2011/12 Anime.

So there was a natural sign thrown on a note in a piece of music where a sharp or flat was never played for that note within the song??? Does the scale have any Fbs? or F#s within it (keep in mind that scales can change from the original scale in a song too)? If so, that's probably why. Some people who read music thoroughly will look at the key the song is played in and then automatically know what notes are sharp and flat and play them accordingly. If they'd normally play that F note as a sharp or flat (because of the key) and it's supposed to be a natural, then that makes sense. Otherwise I don't know what else to tell you. If I remember to ask, I'll ask my instructor about it tomorrow.

I won't say anything, but I'm picking it up for the same reason I'll eventually pick up School Rumble's manga XD

Yeah, while I was watching I wanted him to choose a damn girl already, lol. I think I might pick up the manga in the future since he actually does decide

For me, Toujo (glasses/script writer) was completely out of the equation for me. I tend to side against the girls who are too passive and favor the girls who make the initiative to engage in an intimate relationship. Yui (childhood friend) had me thinking, but in the end she was over run by Satsuki (classmate/x-mas coworker) and Nishino (hs gf). It came down to Satsuki and Nishino and at times I didn't know which one to choose, Satsuki always trying to be seductive with her well developed body would have me personally going "Hellllllll yeaaaaahhhhhh!" but at times she seems a little too moody.... and we all know if we're in a competition between for the ultimate girl, that small moodiness can cost you. So it came down to Nishino with her kind hearted, loved by everyone, and surprisingly in the series, was open to the idea of some fun contact with Junpei ;).

So Nishino won in my book hands down, lol.

Haha, glad it worked out. Btw, I finished Ichigo 100% a couple days ago and enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.

Hands down, I would have stayed with Nishino and kept her as my girlfriend in the series. She never complained, was the most adored/beautiful person among everyone else, and can cook like a boss!!! To top if off, she went to the most prestigious high school, I'd straight up marry her, lmao.

Lemme know how it goes, I'm going to continue taking piano lessons (along with my bass) again starting the upcoming Thursday, so maybe I'll be able to help more in the future, haha.

Oooooo, that's a common mistake, I never pay attention to ties and slurs (in full detail). Generally I adjust my dynamics by ear but still keep in mind what the sheets are telling me. If you have to play slurs then ideally you want to play every single note and every note smoothly (clean transitions with no pauses). I can see what you mean by not knowing how to deal with two slurred notes that are the same. Well I've never thought about it, but if it sounds a little broken try playing them softly that way they're not as pronounced and it's not too obvious you play the same note twice. Sometimes I'll be playing a bass line (for piano) and there are chords that are in a different scale from what the scale of the song is and it sounds really awful if I play them pronounced with the melody. Usually then I'll play them soft so they don't stick out and the melody drowns it out making those bass chords just give a background change in tone. If it still sounds bad then I'll just make up a new bass chord by ear, hahaha. Anyways, try that and if that doesn't work (like if they're 1/8th notes or faster) than you could just keep the two notes tied as one and see how that sounds. When all else fails, listen to the original song or someone who's played it and use your own judgement. Hope that helps

Haha, I'm glad you managed to find the music. A tied note? A tied note is basically a note you hold down. The purpose of it is because it carries over to the next measure. So if you hold down a whole note that's tied with another note (lets say another whole note) in a standard 4 measure 4 beat pattern, then you basically just hold the note for 8 measures rather than hold it for 4 and then hit it again and hold it for 4. Is that what you mean?

"I really enjoy the fact that after I come home I don't have to worry about homework, exams and anything like that. Plus I get payed and I can buy things I want. XD"

Wow, rub it in aki, lol. That's good that work is going well though, haha. I know what you mean though, I keep telling myself to stick with the schedule where I study everyday and work out three times a week, but that clearly doesn't happen. You struck out of luck in terms of sheet music. I used to have A TON of bookmarks I collected over years for sheet music relating to anime, rock, games, you name it, but I forgot to back it up when I reformatted my computer a couple weeks ago -_-. What song are you interested in? I can try giving it a shot in terms of looking for it.

How's work treating you? Did you stick with trying to learn piano?

Yeah, it's great, too bad I'll forget all about it by the timeI get back from my vacation -____-. Plus I'm keeping up with a lot of currently airring series too :(

I got up to ep. 5 in Ichigo 100% and wish I finished it before I left or started it when I get back -______-.

I love it so far, maybe I'll be able to stream it while I'm on vacation. I doubt it though :(.

I can probably power through Ichigo 100% in one of these nights since it's 12 episodes, lol. Already DLing it atm, we'll see when I actually get to watching it though.
