Tsukiakari no Michishirube (ツキアカリのミチシルベ ) Piano Music
It’s been awhile since I’ve transcribed any piano music and due to my love for Darker than Black I decided to transcribe the OP. The OP itself has taken a lot of flack, but I like it. The English translation of the title is something like Moonlight’s Guidepost (or the moonlight is a guidepost type of thing). I hope some piano players out there will enjoy the music. Without further ado.
Here’s the PDF
Tsukiakari No Michishirube
and here is the midi
re-uploaded, a bit faster Midi
If anyone does a youtube video of you playing this song let me know and I’ll put that up here as well
!
Here’s the Stereopony Music Video of the whole song
Enjoy!

Hmmm, I cannot really tell why the OP would take flak. I like it quite a bit too, and I actually think it quite an apt one.
And Good job on the transcription
Thanks!
I think it took flak because people liked the first one better (a general sentiment with regard to the second season).
Thanks for this. I’m a big fan of piano music myself.
The second season seems to cop flak for not being a clone of the first, it seems. Not that I’ve actually seen a lot of commentary on the series this season.
Np! I’m actually working pretty hard on it. I hope to have a Youtube video by the end of the month (but absolutely no promises to anyone reading this comment).
When you put it like that I suddenly feel like that is exactly what I didn’t want
. I do have complaints about the second season but generally I think they just screwed themselves by making it only 12 episodes. They should have done two episode arcs again. Right now everything is just too rushed. I’m actually really happy with the second season in other respects. They didn’t turn it into a magical girl series and the new characters didn’t take over the show. Now if they kill Yin I might take back all my likes of this season.
Nicely done =] I love piano music.
If they kill Yin…I just can’t accept that.
But I agree. They should have done the arcs again.
Thanks for the encouragement.
I have my fingers crossed for next week.
gd transcription. darker than black is 1 of my fav animes
hope to put a utube vid for this transcription soon
with proper citations of course
Oh you are so awesome! I would like to see it. I was going to put up a Youtube video myself, but I’m stuck at relatives with no keyboard (plus my camera sucks anyways). I’ll be looking forward to it. Just post another comment here or send me a message using the contact form under the contact me link at the top of the page.
Nice Nice i like it alot
just a thing though the midi sounds kinda slow or is it just me
Hmm, I guess I’ll have to speed it up and reupload the midi.
Edit: Done (Is it fast enough now?)
hi..i m kinda new 2 tis site…bt issit juz mi or whenever i clicked on de midi…it doesnt play @ all on windows media player?i even tried saving the file.de only song dat worked is honjitsu mankai wa nani iro
It sounds like your computer can’t play midis as Honjitsu is the only Mp3 I have hosted here. However, I know for a fact that the newer versions of Windows Media Player can play midis. So I would suggest looking for updates and updating your version then trying again. My website uses a Quicktime plug in to stream them on site so downloading and installing iTunes + Quicktime would probably also serve your purpose.
And are you really Aya Hirano?
ic….thx a lot!i’ll giv it a try…haha…i aint rly aya hirano…juz a rly big fan of her=)
Me Too
!
Nice transcribing of Tsukiakari no Michishirube. Juz curious how did you transcribe from mp3 to midi? And i feel that the first note of the song shld be middle C sharp? Jz an opinion.
I transcribed by Ear XP, and changed some parts up to make them sound ok on the piano. You’re probably right, but I’m not going to change it right now. There are a couple other places where I was trying stuff out with dissonance that just don’t quite work XD.
lol its great thank you
sorry for making you reupload
thank you for such a nice transcription
Oh, it wasn’t that big of a deal
and you’re very welcome.
What program did u use to transcribe into midi and put them on PDF files?
Um, I used Melody Assistant to write the music. It exports to a bunch of different sound formats including Midi and then I print the sheets to PDF creator.
Cool. That was really good!
Can you pleease transcribe Darker than Black’s
ED 1 (Tsukiakari) in Piano and upload the midi? >o<''
Tsukiakari has been transcribed already actually by Sperion no Sora. You can find it by clicking on that link. Parts of it might be a little impossible to play, but you figure out which parts you think are important. (I love that song too).
Well done!
Is about all I can say
tsukiakari no michishirube is probably my favorite DTB opening, so it’s awesome to hear it played out on piano. I got chills (yes chills), nice work mate.
