old(ish) video game music...

I'm working up to another Gackt piano cover post but it seems I'll need more practice on all the sheet music I just got.  Also currently working on getting better at playing Bios by Mika Kobayashi from Ao no Exorcist [Blue Exorcist]. The arrangement I got is from Animenz and the difficulty level was labelled as "Insane".  Great.  Maybe I'll just re-write some of it..in my head.  lol.

ANYWAY..that's not the point of today's post.  Today, there are 2 songs from 2 games I've never played but I like the music.

First: Reflections OC Remix from Shenmue.  Oh, Sega Dreamcast, how I miss thee.  Good times those were.  Had over 40 games for Dreamcast back then, but I only played like..4.  Soul Calibur II, Dead or Alive 2, and Tony Hawk 2.  Played the random games collaboration games like Spawn and Rainbow Six with my cousins a couple times.  Uh..right..SHENMUE.  I've only watched my cousin play this one.  Thought this was the coolest-looking game EVER.  The music was really nice.  Very Asian-inspired and flowing.  This one was arranged by Reuben Kee and transcribed by Delldongo.



Ok, I was mistaken.  I HAVE played Halo 2 but didn't actually get far enough to hear this song in the game.  lol.  I got to the point where I kept dying ('cos I suck at these games) and gave up.  I don't think I got very far in the game either.  Maybe like less than a quarter of the way through.  LMAO.  Yea..I'm terrible.  X3  I may do another version of this later - one with the dual "voices" on my digital piano.  We'll see.  This was also transcribed by Delldongo.



After this post, I hope to have another Gackt one.  Paranoid Doll is insanely difficult, but insanely fun to play.  X3 I guess you'll have to stay tuned and see what pops up next on this blog!  Thanks to all those who have checked my blog out and to those who commented/followed.  You guys and dolls are awesome!  ^^
