MY BRUDDAS, the sheets are here. Also, welcome to new members - I assume you're here for the Baka Mitai sheet music (understandable) but the great thing is once you've signed up, all of the sheets published before this is available to you as well!
I should be recording the next upload tomorrow (Thursday YouTube release). It's from Sword Art Online Alicization.
Btw, make sure you tune in to the next four uploads. It's FEELS and also easy enough that I believe most of you can actually play it! Stay tuned for the sheets as well mwahaha.

Below are the sheets, MIDI, Synthesia links attached. Harmonie Synthesia will be uploaded next week, I haven't gotten around to it at the moment.
Thanks to maDwaZz for rendering the Synthesia for this arrangement, both 50% and 100%. Honestly, I don't think this Patreon page would be as successful without my transcribers who do a lot of work.
The sheets will be released alongside Shout Baby sheets next week!
Hey guys, this video will be uploaded on Thursday on YouTube (this will be when I will upload my weekly videos). Thank you for sticking with me, when I finish recording a video it will always be posted here.
YouTube will be scheduled weekly, but I'll post here asap.
Update: I've gone to the doctor and have appropriate medication to restore deficiencies that my body has. It started last week, and I can say that 80% of my anxiousness and depressive symptoms have disappeared. I can actually practice piano now. I can enjoy making music and working. Hope I can make a comeback!
Next week: Sheets of this video + Sheets of Re:Zero Chain of Memories (plus the Synthesia videos).
Pardon the sudden change in upload - I'm doing what I can right now and it seems like the only thing I can finish are "impulse" arrangements. If that's what works, that's what I will do for now.
Re:Zero 2 OST - Chain of Memories just finished rendering! Video edited and recorded. Harmonie ED - Harmonie is my last upload and Secret Base will also be released.
Boku no Hero Academia - Shout Baby will be pushed back due to the impulse arrangement I just did.
All three sheet music will be released after a week or so!
So basically, I want to keep the name a secret on the title - idk it's not that important probably, but I'd like for it to be exclusive for Patreon supporters to know what my next upload is gonna be.
I chose this song for the next upload because it's a song I really cherish after listening to it on Discord music bot. One of my mods (Mythun) had this playing and I fell in love with it - with this "FIRST TAKE" version and the singer herself.
It moved me really deeply. And for someone who's struggling with an unproductive environment, things that shake me deeply are the songs that I need to be able to move forward and do what I can.
This is only my third practice session with the song, so most of it is pretty rough - I do have an idea in my head of how the song should be arranged.
It starts with singular notes, to copy the FIRST TAKE version. I also like how single notes just have the melody "naked" and vulnerable... After that, some background help with the left hand starts, for the verse and chorus.
The second verse I'd like to do a "cross hand" style arrangement where my left hand goes past the right hand. You can see me do this back then from my SAO OP - Ignite arrangement.
I've only improvised and practiced half of the song and I still need to work on the bridge as well as the final chorus which will include a soft chorus before a big finale chorus. Please look forward to it!
Also now that I'm focusing a lot more on Patreon, I hope these type of analysis and practice sessions let you in on how my mind works when arranging.
The lyrics is a big part of why I chose this song. Maybe if you read it, it's only words, but for me I feel it deep in my soul. Some may think it's pretty cringe or sappy, but for me it's quite powerful. You include the singers AMAZING voice... I've just been listening to this song over and over for the past couple of days.
I hope to finish the arrangement the first week of July. On the first week of July, there will be sheets published too~
Shout Baby (Lyrics):
Nothing seems to stay the same Your hair, the way you smell The way we struggled when we learned to dance so long ago All of these times, they're stuck deep in my memory Only to sink into silence, never heard again
Since when Was I able to tolerate more like this Since childhood, people have been telling me I am such a cry baby
Keep it a secret What a cruel phrase My scream is getting scratched out A typical future, yet so far away
I can tell without asking anyone It won't reach to that person Where should I go? I don't know, so I simply cling to it Admiration that can take away The worries from everyday It won't disappear
I want to change
Because I put everything on hold until later I wanted to keep protecting our fragile connection
If I were to keep it locked away It would be as if it isn't there But do you know that it's not so small that I can forget it?
So when the sun comes up I know what to do I must put on my strongest face, Because that's all I could have done I am a bit confused since I have never been this way
You are in my heart completely Getting rid of the boring time I don't know what to do
I didn't want to learn I wish I had done it differently It's so fragile I wanted to deny myself Like I was doing something wrong I was disappointed in myself But everything is so new to me I still wanted to believe
I can tell without asking anyone You won't bring me happiness But there was something else you have given to me
Lies that varnish my daily worries Make me happy and won't go away
Just an update on what I'm thinking about for YouTube.
Right now I feel frustrated with the platform. I've built a fanbase for many years doing what I like (which I don't regret), but even after more than 10 years of work, the algorithm decides that I can't even reach out to my fanbase properly - for many specific reasons I'm sure.
Because of this, I'd like to concentrate more on Patreon and Spotify for now. Emphasis on "for now".
It seems like even when I try many methods on trying to motivate myself to upload on YouTube, it doesn't work because I don't really get rewarded for my efforts. I spend so much energy trying to bring myself to work, and when I do, it gets shit on by the algorithm.
It's actually affecting you guys, Patreon supporters, because what I upload on YouTube is what gets transcribed. I'm not too happy with my works on YouTube and it trickles down to Spotify and Patreon.
If I decide that Patreon and Spotify are the most important parts of my music creation, then I believe I can make better music. These platforms reward the artists much better than YouTube, heh.
I'll give it a shot.
For the time being, I will make music for Patreon supporters and Spotify listeners. YouTube will be the third priority. Maybe we'll see improvements with my music? I feel like if I enjoy making music, you will enjoy listening to them.
Thank you for waiting and thank you all for your contributions! I'm doing my best to stay motivated. YouTube is getting the big hit but Patreon/Spotify is what sustains me right now financially. I hope we can bring you guys more transcriptions that make it worth to stay on Patreon :D
I will be posting synthesia videos next week (free) 1. Lilium 2. Sparkle 3. Spirits of the Sea
I'm also outlining how to schedule transcriptions of older songs that you might be interested in. A lot of my arrangements are not transcribed, as you can see here: http://www.theishter.com/sheet-music.html
Andrew "Concxrtmaster" cleaned up the website and made me realize that a lot of songs in the past don't have sheets. Are you guys interested in seeing sheet music of older arrangements?
The midi files are in a separate post, decided to exclude $1 tier from getting the MIDI files. I've seen people upload the MIDI and create synthesia videos somewhere else...
Here's the audio files for the last three uploads!
I apologize for not posting much, I'd like to but I... don't feel much at the moment. Depressed maybe, due to personal real life reasons. Sucks because I actually want to be productive.
In any case, MIDI post coming up in a bit for these songs. Sheet music for Sparkle and Might+U coming up mid-May!
BARELY MADE IT THIS APRIL - transcribers were busy with work/school but we've made it! I just finished rendering the synthesia videos in After Effects too~
My next upload is Spirits of the Sea, by Kenshi Yonezu. I'm not sure how to fit the sheet music in for April... thoughts? Maybe instead of Lilium, I'll have Spirits of the Sea transcribed?
lol my sister and I actually thinking of buying the Switch for Animal Crossing. SO ADORABLE
I'm still waiting for what I will upload in April to choose what sheets to make. Since my uploads are quite impulsive, it's hard to choose at the moment, and I want to choose two really good ones to be transcribed to sheet music.
Meanwhile, I'll always be posting the audio files (mp3/MIDI/flac) as free posts for you guys!
As mentioned, from here on out, I'll be providing double the sheets (one is free).
Because of the coronavirus among other things, the transcribers, as well as myself, took a bit of time with the sheets - sorry about that!
Plans for YouTube and Patreon for now: -6 to 8 uploads on YouTube per month to try and get my channel revived (it's dying). -2 videos will have sheets for Patreon per month. -2 sheets from my new Anime Album for Patreon
Summary: 4 sheets per month on Patreon (two are free). 2 from YouTube, 2 from Anime Album with new arrangements.
April 2020 Sheets planned: -Tokyo Ghoul - Glassy Sky (2020 version) -Parasyte - Next to You (2020 version) -*YouTube video sheets* (free) -*YouTube video sheets* (free)
