Sounding much like the epic BGM of a final boss battle is this wind instrument transcription of Otorimonogatari’s OP “Mousou♥Express”. I have to say, this song is quite a turn from Renai Circulation…

The first minute of this video is what seems like a normal playthrough of a Super Mario World level. However, what is really happening is that everything you hear, including the sound effects, is copied using MIDI! The second half of the video demonstrates this by playing only the sound effects and showing their MIDI scores.

Evans is a song from the Konami rhythm game Jubeat, infamous for being a hard boss of the game. Here routine5656 recreates the song using Fl Studio to a startling degree of accuracy. He has also transcribed other songs from Konami rhythm games, which can be found here.

If you want to play Jubeat but don’t have any Jubeat arcade machines near you, Jubeat Plus is available from the Japanese app store. Alternatively, there is also an international version, Jukebeat, on other app stores, but the song selections are different and Jubeat songs come out slower in general.

From the musical side of Nico, we have this orchestral transcription of “Surgam identidem”, a BGM from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. How people accomplish fully-fledged transcriptions like these amazes me sometimes, but if you’re looking for more 耳コピ means “transcription by ear”.
