MOTHER3+ Piano Book

“I don’t know think it’s official”, you’ve got a typo there 😉

Also awesome, might have to get it myself too ^^

I hope it’s real. 🙂

I’m fairly certain these aren’t officially licensed. The company, Sky Port, is the same company that made that MOTHER 1+2 midi CD, along with the MOTHER 1 + 2 Piano score book, seen recently on eBay.

Sky Port doesn’t use the official logo for the games in any of their products, although they do bear the JASRAC denotation.

Wow, front page! I feel important! Thanks Mato. I’m not sure what the deal with this is, I just knew when I saw it, I had to get it. My only issue with it is that it’s bound too small, if that makes any sense. I really want to scan the pages, but I can’t without totally destroying the book’s prettiness.

Also… not to blatantly self promote, but I did buy two of these, and can totally part with one if anyone is interested.

It’s completley fake honestly.

I checked it out on the GameSwag page. It seemed accurate… at least as far as I could tell when sight-reading it from the couple of oddly photographed samples. From what I can tell, they don’t vary from the original 3+ pieces, other than that they’re dumbed down a bit.

@SonicUnderground

It very well may be, but do you have any evidence to back that up?

@Zafum

Unfortunately because of the way that the book is made, it is incredibly difficult to get a good picture of any page. I wish I could get better pictures of it, but I don’t want to destroy the book in the process.

That’s too bad. You would think a piano sheet music book would be bound in such a way that it would lie down flat quite nicely.

@SonicUnderground

Please at LEAST give us some proof to back it up. You cant just say its fake without any evidence.

The sheet music is accurate, but I don’t know the status on whether the book in general is legitimate or not.

I’ve gotten a bunch of game music piano books, and they *never* lie flat. They never release them spiral-bound and you have to crack the hell out of the spines and then weigh them down with heavy objects.

In general, I really love the novelty of game music books. They range in quality. Sometimes they are great transcriptions or arrangements. Other times it’s a bit meh. The difficulty ranges from easy to moderately skilled. Hardest I’ve seen are the FF Piano Collections. Not the original soundtrack versions, but special concert versions with elaborations. But oftentimes they’re not too bad at all. I don’t consider myself a fantastic pianist but I can muddle through stuff when I love it enough. Many times, they’ve been transposed into other keys to make them easier on the hands. Not every game track works well on the piano, but those that do provide a lot of enjoyment and fun. I also like it when they provide voice+accompaniment for vocal numbers.

Well, the sheet music is accurate.

I just purchased this book (along with the final 3 large Banpresto figures I was missing) so I’ll update if anything interesting is inside :).

Also, if anyone does scans, I’d be happy to send a photo of myself with the book, to prove I have it (when it comes) so that I don’t have to break mine to bits to play the pieces…

Heck, you’ll probably see it in another unboxing video 🙂

I would be very interested in perhaps buying your other copy. Email me at oneeightnineone@yahoo.com and perhaps we can work something out.

More generally, does anyone know where I could get one of these?

id really love to get a copy of this book somehow. even if its merc or not, i think the music in mother 3 is amazing. it brings back so many great memories listing to music like ” open seseame tofu!”, “ragtime osohe” and even the ” mother 3 love theme”.

if in any way possible, i think we need to get more peoples attention on this game and its music.

now im rambling on…
