[:plant:] Guess that Anime Melody

Guess that Anime OP/ED Melody #001

I thought this would be a good way to perhaps spice up this section of the forum a bit. Basically I will play various melodies from Anime opening and ending songs on a piano and you all can try guessing what Anime it is from. The one who guesses it correct first can then message me a suggestion for the next song to do and we will continue in that fashion.

1. First I will start with a short intro like this:

2. Then after a few days (if no one gets it right) I will post more of the melody :
Get the Flash Player to play this audio file:

3. Then finally if no one still gets it I will post the melody mixed in with a backing/karaoke track :

4. I suppose sometime around this point I will post the lyrics from the song excerpt as well :

Spoiler:

Hatenaki yume motomeru shirubenaki sekai de

Kasanaru omoi kokoro tsukisasu kodou
Shizuka ni tsuzuku tamerai mo nai uta

Tooku sora no kanata kara mazariatta bokura no kage
Hitsuzen to kimagure no naka shirusareta kioku

Surechigatta toki no uzu
Kuchihatete mo kimi no koe o shinjite

Hatenaki yume motomeru shirubenaki mirai de
Boku ga hikari nakushite mo itsuka
Kimi ga tomoshite kureta kirameku mune no honoo
Tsubasa ni kawaru kibou no kakera

...

5. If no one still guesses correctly after about a week at the most, I will post what the song was and choose a new one.


BTW can anyone guess this song yet?


I hope you all enjoy the guessing.
As long as people keep guessing I will keep posting new songs.

*If you guess the song correctly please try to choose a popular song from a recent Anime for your request, and avoid obscure songs no one will recognize.

How ya doing, buddy?

It really doesn't take me that long to transcribe a short section of a song like this (I will probably keep just doing to the first bridge or ~1 min. sections), and it would probably only be once a week or so that there would be a new one created.

Also, if we keep it to relatively new and popular OPENING and ENDING songs it shouldn't be too difficult to keep the thread active.

It would get a little annoying with BGM I agree, it would get tedious transcribing complicated pieces with their multiple voices and harmonies as well.



P.S. If anyone knows how I can get this [mp3] tag working with 4shared or some other free hosting please share. I can't seem to find a direct link to the mp3 that stays fresh.


Your right, private message me a song you want to do next if you feel like it Sakabadger.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

By "popular" I mean those series that quite a few people are following -- for instance if you go to anidb or another similar site and the series has a ton of tags and votes. Just try to avoid obscure animes like web only ones, animes that groups never subbed, one ep ovas, or childish/strange shows that only the hardcore otakus would be following.

By "recent" I would say within the last several years (preferably this year), possibly as far back as the early 2000s, but I would even avoid that and try to stick with newer series.


I will keep looking into a way to embed the audio files but for now I guess I will just continue linking until I find a solution.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thanks.., but after reading one of Mersenne's old posts I think I figured out how to use/abuse 4shared to get the job done. ^^

I was speaking idiomatically.

I will see how stable 4shared is for a few days first, if it starts messing up I might take him up on the offer. I just don't want to waste his bandwidth if it isn't needed.

I would rather just stick to the four hints like I was doing for the first two as well zzeroparticle, it is sort of more fun that way instead of just submitting a recording of the song and having people guess off that.


Please private message me a new anime opening/ending song to transcribe if you could zzeroparticle.

Here is the first hint for zzeroparticle's suggestion.

No guesses after a day so here is the second hint.

Hint #2 (more of melody) :: Get the Flash Player to play this audio file:


Still no guesses so here is the third and final hint for this one -- since it has no lyrics.
I will post a new song sometime Saturday if no one figures out this one by then.

Hint #3 (combined with a makeshift backing track) :: Get the Flash Player to play this audio file:


It has been several days, and I think this one might have been misnamed and background music anyways, so here is the solution.
Hopefully someone will be able to guess the next melody.

Saki (OP01) - Glossy:MMM

I'm sort of skeptical as to if it will catch on or not as well. I will probably keep it going for at least a few more though to see how it goes before I decide to give up or not.

The first one to send me a private message can choose the next anime opening/ending song for me to transcribe the melody from.

If no one chooses anything tomorrow I will post another one I had previously created.

Unfortunately this will probably have to be the last melody I do. Although it was a short-lived event I had fun and I hope the few members who participated enjoyed it as well. Thanks to everyone who participated or even just listened to my (most likely error prone) transcriptions.

Taishou Yakyuu Musume (OP1) - "Romantic Strike"

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Originally I thought I would only be doing these maybe once or twice a week, however even with the few playing it ended up being almost one a day. At 30 minutes to an hour a piece it starts adding up and I started neglecting things like piano and singing practice to create these little recordings. I was also sort of hoping / expecting more people would get interested but that never seemed to happen.

I zipped up all the files in the rare case someone actually wants to listen to any of these. I find them useful personally for singing practice, especially for more difficult songs, which is why I initially started creating them.

If any of you want me to transcribe a melody for you to use for singing/karaoke feel free to message me. I can either create one of these simple mp3s of me playing with the karaoke track or create some sheet music (though that takes a little longer). I can also possibly transcribe some solo piano pieces or other instrumental works in case you play an instrument.


...and if anyone wants to continue this thread or start a similar one like Sakabadger mentioned by all means do so.

Well.. we will see. Let the future present itself!

Yeah... I thought hmm... maybe this would be more interesting if I started with the bass line, then the chord progression, then some of the melody, and then maybe some piano arrangement intertwining both. With my luck though after completing all the recordings I would probably end up posting the intro or bass line and someone would correctly guess it before I could add any of the other hints.

For someone with a good ear though I imagine the possibilities for this thread could be endless.

Omnislash124 if you ever do take over, which I think would be great, I could probably find the time to help you out once a week or so. I can also usually find just about any OP/ED single (for the karaoke tracks) or other anime music so you can message me if you are having problems with that.

You shouldn't underestimate the abilities of these posters though, or how time consuming such a simple task like making a recording of a melody can end up being (especially for some of these songs).

How ya doing, buddy?

Let's try this out...

Please excuse the slightly off rhythms as I don't have access to a good recording device right now, I'm transcribing the music in Finale, which is relatively rigid in terms of the rhythm. Should be fairly easy as it is the chorus of the song.

Hint #1 Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to host mp3 files for embedding yet, so I only have a link: 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download MysteryOP13.mp3

To embed mp3s here using 4shared (what I did) go to the download page for the file that you uploaded and view the page source (Ctrl+U in Firefox). From there do a search for "file=" and copy the url located there and paste it between [ mp3 ] [ /mp3 ] tags (with no spaces between the brackets and mp3).

Also, it is far easier in my opinion to just play the melody on an instrument and record that instead of using finale. I think I cut my time in half or even more when I stopped actually writing the music down on paper and just started listening and recording the songs phrase by phrase.

I feel you are going to have a really tough time transcribing some of these rhythms using finale.
Some of those electronic/trance/dance songs are so difficult to find the downbeats or any sense of rhythm for.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I thought it might of been from Maria-sama ga Miteru from the first hint and was trying to re-arrange the rhythm and notes in my head to make it fit but I couldn't find any songs that matched. Don't really recognize any of the song in the second hint either unfortunately.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
