To listen to a sample of the different tracks he plays in the album, download this sample taken from his official site. The final track is Tank!, and it’s pretty interesting since it’s a very non-piano track, if you know what I mean. He has also published a Tank! score sheet arranged by Di Wu and himself.

cruel angel thesis…blech!!!!! I hate the song so much despite my love for the anime…..hmm I wondered too how Tank would be made for piano. I almost didn’t recognize it when I heard it.

I was planning to make a midi out of the score he made, but I was thinking that the glissando is going to be a toughie. And I’m being lazy. :b
