Any cool songs to play on the piano?

[MrKoreanguy]

So far, I've learned these and memorized these:

Lilium (Elfen Lied)
^The one from Josh's Anime sheet, not the simple music box edition.
Lilium (Elfen Lied - Music Box)
^The simple one
To Zanarkand (Final Fantasy X)
Halo Main Theme (Halo)
Cruel Angel's Thesis (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

So, I want to learn a new one. I know that it's probably illegal to ask for music sheets here, but I simply want some recommendations. There is a 90% chance that I won't know the song by name, so a link to YouTube would be fine too.

Thanks.

Smother Me by the Used.

nice song selection KoreanGuy
If I could play the violin, I would definately learn those,and similar songs

[MrKoreanguy]

Hmm... I might learn that one by The Used after all. But right now, I'm trying to find out the theme song of Katamari Damacy. What is it?

Here's some music I can give you...

Kingdom Hearts

Kairi

Scherzo Di Notte

Anime:

Full Metal Alchemist... Naruto

Riraito

Kesenai Tsumi

Haruka Kanata

Kanashimi wo Yasashisa Ni

Oh, and Ride on Shooting Star from FLCL

These are my transcriptions, so they ain't easy, but if you practice em', you'll learn em. Give me your email and I'll send them to you.

MrKoreanGuy learn: Rush Hour in Hong Kong. [Edit^2] I noticed you wanted youtube links as well but apparently no one on youtube is good enough to have posted themselves playing it. Give me a week.

The best song to know the violin part for is Eleanor Rigby. You pick up (interesting/cool) chicks that way. If they recognize it and like it they're worth going out with.

Truth.

Chrono Trigger OST, Zelda:Link to the Past, some of FF7. Most of it sounds very classical and amazing on the piano.

[MrKoreanguy]

Although I'm Asian, I only play the piano. I failed since I can only play two instruments (piano and guitar).

Those are among the most interesting instruments anyway so you have a pretty large selection of music you can play. For piano if you could do the piano solo on In My Life you would be cool in my book (about as cool as if you did the one I mentioned in my previous post).

[MrKoreanguy]

Can't I just be cool without playing?

[Haro!]

Umm yeah but it'd be hard work. That or get some cute Korean girls in your videos. Better yet a Korean girl playing one of the pieces I've mentioned.

[Lunay]

Like Lav2k4 mentioned, most of the musical pieces from SNES games are amazing! My favorite is definitely FFVI:
Decisive Battle (http://youtube.com/watch?v=lJwvwNhuVYU)
Terra's theme (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uns6tHo2Fc0)
Celes' theme (http://youtube.com/watch?v=RUnJyNFa-3w)

As far as anime, Ghibli titles has some amazing pieces. One example would be Kimi wo Nosete (Carrying You)- Laputa (Castle in the Sky) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=fn2TbJUkcjg&mode=related&search=)

Sheets should be easy to find..

Question: How big of a file can Yahoo Mail handle as for attachments...

My sheet music files won't attach... I think they're too big.

[Jatz]

10MB. G-Mail 20MB. You could put them into a zip folder to get the size down or upload it to a file sharing site (http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-file-hosting.php) and send the link.

I have a freakin' ton of piano music from anime soundtracks. My favorite stuff is by Taro Iwashiro, who did some of the music for Kenshin, as well as Tokimeki Memorial's piano collection.

One of my most favorite piano songs is "Her Most Beautiful Smile" by Taro Iwashiro.
Here's a youtube link to the song:

[MonkeyBoy0314]

My recomendations:

Van Halen (=VH=):

-Jump
-Dreams

Queen:

-Don't Stop Me Now
-We Are the Champions
-Bohemian Rhapsody

Elton John:

-Rocket Man
-Pinball Wizard

Sonata Arctica:

-Fullmoon

Nice pick with Cruel Angel's Thesis though, I played that as my mid-term project in my musical keyboarding class at school (my final was my own piano adaptation of Rage Against the Machine's "Guerilla Radio")

[Vaikyuko]

Davy Jones, from The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Awesomely amazing song.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...La la la koppe-pan.

simple song. yet so addictive.

[Ikari Warrior]

The mega man 2 theme ^_^

Pretty much any music from the 16-bit (or earlier) video game era is a good choice. The Punch-out!! theme would work really well on piano. Synthesizers got a little more advanced in the 16-bit era, but you can still hammer out a good remix.

TidusAuron12, do you still have links to your YouTube performances?

[Rain]

I highly recommend the song For Good from the Wicked Broadway musical.

I've always liked "Skating" better.

[Bernard_Monsha]

John Cage's 4' 33" and The Banshee. I can play 4' 33" all day and night.

Oh-ho-ho-ho, YOU.

[Danju]

Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid is a great play. Absolutely beautiful song.

[Evil_Koala]

Try converting this to Piano form, yo.
