Keyboard Mania? - Airflow

Today I was trying to delete some files from my notebook's harddrive so the OS would have some free memory and I stumbled across one very strange thing - Doremimania. Few years ago I installed a Keyboard Mania simulator (caled Doremimania) on my computer and tried it. I recorded few of the songs when playing them for the first time on sight read. I have to say that it was REALLY difficult for me to figure out which note is which and what should I press while not looking at the keys because I tried following the notes on the screen. That's why I was playing easy songs and avoided stuff like Kakumei^^.

Being able to play the piano does not help with Keyboard Mania much when you first play it because you are unable to read it. At least I wasn't capable of reading that which was quite a surprise because I'm used to playing IIDX doubles (and thus reading the notes)! But it seems that 14k and even a small keyboard is a great difference.

This is how Airflow ended up sounding like. It wasn't that bad^_~.


EDIT: The file can be downloaded at -> Airflow (Google Drive)
EDIT2: I made sheet music for this specific old version of airflow. It can be found at -> my musescore profile

For those interested in trying something like this and not having access to KeyboardMania or Doremimania. You can try Synthesia (that can use all the 88 piano keys). It is a software that allows you to learn how to play something on the piano. It allows importing one own's midi files so BEMANI songs can be imported and played. I created a midi file for Blind Justice to test it and I imported it into Synthesia. It worked well but it's very hard. One day I may be able to play it. Sheet music video follows.
