Backing up this one. That song is sooo catchy and I'd just love to see sheets for it!

I've looked around for awhile and noticed that I can't actually find any sheet music for any of the songs in the Danganronpa series (aside for the animation's own music). There aren't really too many songs I'm super interested in but I always wanted to try playing Mr. Monokuma's Extracurricular Lesson. The series has been released only on the PS handheld consoles, but I was still curious to see if anyone was interested.

There are two main versions that I could find and while the main difference is in quality, I think there may have been some other slight changes?

The original version also appeared in the second game and I can't really tell any differences between them so:

As for the other main version, this one seems to have a much higher quality, though I feel like (aside from making the different parts more distinct) there are a couple minor other differences.

I get the distinct feeling I might not be able to make much further progress in awhile. XP

So, should I go ahead and keep it as 8^va/vb[/sup or... I'm not really sure what you're suggesting.

And yeah, I can see what you mean with the playability in that manner. I'll see what I can do about that. Lots of parts I can't remove without losing the feeling of those parts, but it definitely needs to be playable.

Yeah, I figured the key signature changed a few times. Unfortunately, I can't really it mid-song. My version of Finale is really limited on what it allows me to do. I've read up that there are newer things from MakeMusic, but those are quite costly and I can't really manage to get them.

I'm still in the progress of editing the sheets and have gotten through your last three points. However, your comment on raised octaves seems kinda vague. 8^va certainly wouldn't fit in every location after all. I'll be checking to see what I can figure out, but yeah.

Some specific pointers regarding that would be nice.

Thanks for the help. The sheets do look a whole ton better so far. They're much, much cleaner.

Edit: Think I figured out the locations of the octave changes. Fixed them and fixed it a little more. There were some small parts missing that left it a little empty and lacking. The newly edited versions have been uploaded.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the advice on the collaboration information. Sounds like something to start updating as I work on submitting everything. I've updated the sheets to include the transcription variation.

Pfft, I'd hardly call myself seasoned. I've been around, but haven't really gotten around to doing much. XP
I really appreciate the compliments though.


At any rate, I updated the time signature, and cleaned up the left hand and tempo. However, my Finale Notepad is unfortunately really limited and I can't make the pedal notation like that. Unable to repeat properly, change octaves in the best way, and can't change key signature midway through the song. That's one thing keeping me from arranging some songs and being able to fix others.

I don't know how I missed that repeat redundancy. Usually I keep up with those a lot better than that. Yeesh.

I know that I'll have to clean up and fix the left hand for a lot of later arrangements. I figured out completely how the 1 through 4 tabs worked way too late into arranging so a good number of them are a mess.


Thanks for the advice and criticism. I'm glad to be able to fix up my sheets so that they're that much better. It's kinda a pain, but still pretty good.

I'm starting to submit my sheets... However, I'm unsure whether or not to include a collaboration arranger.

On most of my sheets the original PDF arrangements were made for numerous instruments while I alone made the piano arrangement. We worked on our arrangements individually, however we collaborated in arranging most of the songs in the Kingdom Hearts series in the same project.

Does anyone have any input as to what I should do here?

Example being usual "Destiny Islands" versus CoM's "Destiny Islands." Or CoM's "The 13th Struggle" versus other versions. All right, gotcha. Thanks for the input!

Gonna finish cleaning up and updating the rest of the links and then after that I'll start submitting.

All sheets cleaned up and all links updated!

Afterwards, I may finally get to arranging some of the Ace Attorney series. as previously promised.

Since many of the songs in the Kingdom Hearts repeatedly recur throughout the series, when submitting should I only ever submit one where the song first originally appeared or go ahead and submit in the sheets for every single game the song is in?

Posting it in my thread since this doesn't really seem to happen too often with other game series. Not that I can think of at least.

It's looking good to me, although measures 15 and 16 are incredibly hard to read. Is there possibly a way to rewrite that so it's more readable? Possibly moving everything to the treble clef and make the left hand deal with the series the right had been playing for a little?

Just so you know, Phytops is linking to Skyview Temple. XP

Don't worry about it, I really appreciate you trying. If I can find new resources for those songs (exception being March Caprice since I plain don't have the resources to fix it), I'll get to them.

Next I'll probably get to cleaning up the sheets for the Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep & 358/2 Days Original Soundtrack (which fails to mention Re:Coded in its name for some reason?).

I've finished cleaning up and editing every single one of the links for the songs that I've arranged that are covered by Kingdom Hearts Soundtrack Complete, which includes Kingdom Hearts (Final Mix), Kingdom Hearts II (Final Mix +), and Kingdom Hearts: (Re:)Chain of Memories. As such, all three posts that cover these games have been completely cleaned up and re-linked.

To maelstrom: I have uploaded arrangements for "March Caprice for Piano and Orchestra", "Lord of the Castle", and "Darkness of the Unknown" during the cleaning. Unfortunately, I consider each of these arrangements 'incomplete'; while they do reach the end of the songs, there are certain parts in each that I feel need to be edited. On these pieces, I'll accept help in trying to fix them since I'm not entirely sure how to do so myself. However, they are there now.

I was going to link you, but I don't see it either in Bloop's arrangement thread, nor on the arrangement project page. The video is unavailable to me so if it has a different name as well, I can't tell.
