Angel Beats Piano Arrangements

Sun, 04 Jul 2010 05:42:14 +0000

So yeah, I was surfing around Youtube when I found videos of this guy doing piano pieces for a few songs from Angel Beats. They’re pretty good.

Yeah, this guy ‘63maou1′ did a few videos of himself playing the piano pieces for songs such as ‘Brave Song’, ‘My Soul, Your Beats!’ and my personal favourite, ‘一番の宝物’.

Starting with PV6.

Then Brave Song.

My Soul, Your Beats!

Brave Song

and last but not least, 一番の宝物/Ichiban no Takaramono. (the song featured for Episode 10’s ED and Episode 13’s insert)

For those of you who want the sheet music, Maouscores has it.

Angel Beats! #1 Tops Weekly BD Chart With 23,000 Copies Sold

zenical — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 04:40:09 +0000

The power of Kanade indeed. Angel Beats! #1 was released last week on 23 June 2010. The Blu-ray version topped the Daily Chart while the DVD was #6. It is reported that 23,000 copies of the Blu-ray has been sold, topping the chart during the June 21-27 week.

It is the first new Blu-ray to top the chart after Evangelion:2.22 You Can Not Advance held #1 for 4 weeks.

I checked out the DVD version of Angel Beats! 1 and looks like folks prefer Blu-ray version to DVD version now. The DVD version only managed to get #5 on the Oricon Weekly Chart. WORKING!! is #4. Looks like WORKING!! is more popular? Lol.

Angel Beats! Blu-ray Tops Oricon Daily Chart

guuzen — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 01:49:34 +0000

It must be the power of Tenshi!! The first volume of Angel Beats! Blu-ray has topped Oricon Daily chart while the DVD release is at #6. Both the BD and DVD has over 15,000 copies sold.

I am really glad that Angel Beats! is doing fine because I really love the series! When I found out that people from the production company Key were part of the project, I thought I just had to try it out.

At first, the show was really confusing because it was trying to introduce how this new world works. When I start to get the hang of how things work and also the basic storyline, I really felt attached to it. The show’s last episode is this week, so make sure you don’t miss it!

For those of you who have missed it, check out M’s mid-season review of the current series he is/was watching and see what you may be missing out on!
