Yeah, I've embraced the meme. Fortunately, the show turned out to be a lot better than I expected! Despite being a huge mishmash of shoehorned tropes, it's actually pulled off quite well and often had me in stitches. Also, Kaho best girl...although if ドS Maika had a clarinet... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think this is my first time doing a TV-sized cover! I'm not into the cover-every-seasonal-OP/ED game as that would be frankly quite boring and tedious (not to mention I only ever follow maybe 3 or 4 shows), but this song definitely deserves one. The much shorter than usual length expedited the practicing/recording process, which was particularly helpful as rhythmical tightness and articulation matching are so important in this one.
You can probably tell I had a little bit of fun with all the voiceovers and harmony lines :)
There are a few tricky spots in the transcription, if you're looking to play it. Bar 11 requires you to use the forked F# fingering into normal E#, and then switching to normal F# if you want to make the C#. The interrupted pentatonic scale in bar 18 might take a bit of drilling, as the E-Bb jump is a pain to hit at tempo (at least for me). Apart from that, everything else should pretty much play itself!
Hope you enjoyed, see you next time!

Clarinet cover of an awesome Miku Hatsune song. Sorry about the ending, the camera died :(
Set in the rather annoying key of Db+ (concert B major), which is a bit too hard to do by ear =)

Headphones and 720p for the best sound!
After having some problems with my current rig, I thought it would be a good time to try out some new gear. So I went to the music store today and rented a truckload of equipment :) Well, more like 3 mics, a bunch of XLR cables, an Avid USB interface, and a stand, but anyway... XD
0:00 Behringer B1 condenser (my current mic)
1:10 Audio Technica AT4040 condenser
2:20 Shure SM7b dynamic
3:30 AKG C214 condenser
Only effects used were compression, reverb, and a low cut around 30 Hz on the master track
Its not the most scientific of tests, cause I dont have an interface that can accept 4 inputs simultaneously, but I tried to keep my setup as consistent as possible. Just try to ignore my sloppy playing :P
Tbh, for mics that cost 2 to 3 times as much as my current one, the improvements were really, really small XD What do you guys think? (Ill refrain from giving my opinion to keep you unbiased) ^_^")

Gorgeous opening from a gorgeous anime, and as such I just had to do this! Jun Maeda kicks so much ass considering how big a part he plays in the production of all these awesome series ^ ^
Being the piano noob that I am, I obviously cant play this piece as well as this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SOIcE-tugY (nor do I do the piece any justice), but I do think Im slowly getting there.
Sheets can be found over at Joshs site.")
