I initially transcribed this piece months ago for pep band. Recently, I found the official VGZ file, converted it (to a VGM file and then) to a MIDI file, and then imported it into Logic Pro X in order to perfect my transcription. I then utilized the MIDI file in recreating the song in Logic Pro X.
