AhDoe – Music as an International Language

Have I told you lately, that…I like Doraemon?

That’s the only comic that I know how to read till now even it is not labeled with number sequence. I am not sure why, but I guess Doraemon is more “children-friendly”, and that perfectly suits my childish character sometimes. Doraemon is so popular that their episodes co-exist with different languages: Japanese (Of course), Chinese, Malay, Cantonese etc.

Remember the famous “Ang Ang Ang” Doraemon tune as well? There was a not-so-funny joke related to its tune as well…

Question: What is Doraemon’s favourite colour?
Answer: Red…

If you wonder why…

Doraemon repeatedly sang “Ang Ang Ang” in its theme. Well, problem is, “Ang” means red in Hokkien..

See, I told you it is not funny at all…

Since we talked all the way to its tune, perhaps you are interested in the piano sheet as well.

The all time famous Doraemon theme piano sheet is ready for download, again, in PDF format.

If you thought that Doraemon is a robot, you are wrong! Totally wrong! Do you know that Doraemon has decesdants?

Tadah~~ Ah Doe is finally back in action again!

Several weeks before a major change in my life, I was actually addicted to a Korean Drama called Princess Hour (宫，我的野蛮王妃). I was considered to be in a “lovestruck” stage even after finishing this drama. That was then I started to google about the leading actors and actresses (Joo Ji Hoon and Yoon Eun Hye).

The storyline was a breakthrough (at least I thought so) compared to the old-fashioned “Love me, love me not” script. Its costume is also another thing that we can pay attention to.

“Princess Hour” fully utilizes Korean traditional musical instruments in their OST composition this time in order to depict the life and atmosphere of a royal family. However, my interest is in its sentimental song, which is played when the leading actress feels sad.

Weeping terribly in a guy’s arm…handsome one somemore….oh~

It’s called: I AM AN IDIOT!

(Sounds as if I am telling you that I am an idiot~)

Let’s have a look at Idiot’s piano sheet preview:

Now, we have a GOOD news and a BAD news:

Good news comes first: This song is in its original key!! (Hip hip hooray~~)

Bad news (*Drums rolling*) : It is in B Flat Major, and transposes to B Major!! That means, you will play the song with two black notes at the beginning, and five black notes before its ending!!

Well, maybe it’s not so bad, but still….

Good Luck and Have Fun!!

“Suddenly I see” is one of my favourite songs recently, and I’m having fun with the piano arrangement. Wee~

.

Sang by KT Tunstall, a Scottish singer who looks young but sounds mature in this album which was released in 2005.

Oh gosh, how come I’m always late at nice things?

By the way, this song has been playing at the radio stations, boutique shops, movie series or some other places that I could not even remember. The chorus part is catchy with “So there I see….” and sounds so stylish. I guessed without KT Tunstall, it won’t be legendary.

This song is in D Major, so is the piano arrangement. 2 black notes will not be fatal I guess. So, let’s enjoy playing it and be rhythmic!

Besides the infamous “The Cowboy is Busy“(牛仔很忙) from Jay’s latest album, his “Rainbow” (彩虹) is getting a lot of attention as well.

 

 I am only a bear with a rainbow logo 🙁

With a simple accompaniment with guitar at the beginning, this song is gentle, sweet but sounds a little tragic when you understand its content and especially after you have watched its MTV.

How about the lyrics?

~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Tell me where I can find rainbows,
Can you return my wish to me?
Why the sky seems so quiet
All the clouds came towards me

Is there any facemask for me?
Saying too much about getting over an emotion will end up getting it unrealized
Perhaps time is a kind of antidote
but it is also a poison that I am consuming right now

How can I go to sleep without seeing your smile?
Your shadow is so near yet I could not even hug it
The Sun still orbits around without Earth
I can still go on without any reasons

I know it’s easy for you to leave me,
You said dependence is our obstacle,
Can you not confiscate my love even if we decide to let go?
Just assume that I only understand the point in the end

~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

The Chinese lyrics can be found in my piano sheet, I have included them in the sheet so that you’ll know where you are at, or perhaps you can even sing along with it while playing the piano!

Haha…so considerate huh?

I expect that this song will be another “hitto” throughout the year. Get ready to hear it everywhere again.

I have been listening to their songs all this while but not even once, I took the initiative to find out who they are. Their songs are great, but on top of that, their piano is outstanding! This is why they have been honoured with the “The Piano Band” title and constantly compared with Coldplay.

Anyway, Coldplay fans…don’t get offended, I like both of Keane and Coldplay…(Phew~)

I just knew that there are 3 person in this team, namely Tim Rice-Oxley (Piano), Tom Chaplin (Lead Vocals) and Richard Hughes (Drums). Oh yes, they had a former member, Dominic Scott several years ago.

Members in the band

These guys are talented people, I don’t know how they cross-fertilized the skills and knowledge but they actually switch roles on certain occasions. That means, Tom and Richard can play keyboard as well, while Tim can carry out with other functions. (Go toilet maybe? Hehe..)

Apart from “Everyone’s Changing“, I like their “Nothing in My Way” very very much! I don’t know what’s the reason, but I would say this song is like a spell casted on me because I could never forget its melody since the first time I heard it.

Nothing in My Way is from this album

Beware, Keane likes to hammer piano keyboards non-stop. It’s obvious in their songs…So, if you want to play their songs, take a deep breath and relax, hammer your piano keyboards steadily but not hurriedly.

Oh ya, watch out for your wrists!
