I will be uploading sheet music for my arrangements here from now on. Here is my latest arrangement/transcription, which I am also learning on piano: a song with quite a complex history, and too many names.

Officially, it is known as ピアノ協奏曲第1番”蠍火” literally “Piano Concertino No. 1 Scorpion Fire”, although some translations including the LED marquee’s translations reference the name of the song as “Anti-Ares,” a reference to the star Antares, also known as Scorpii, and its red flame in the sky – the origin of the translation and more commonly used name “Scorpion Fire”. It is from Beatmania IIDX 11 IIDXRED​ (ビートマニア ツーディーエックス, Bītomania Tsūdiekkusu) from “One More Extra Stage,” known as hell.

The artist is Jun Wakita, one of Konami’s in-house composers, whose work is primarily for Beatmania IIDX and Pop’n Music. His alias for this composition is 脇田潤 (Wakida Zyun; “Virkato Wakhmaninov”). The pseudonym should have been a hint of the song’s true age; it’s a pun on the name of Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. “Piano Concerto No. 1 ‘Anti-Ares’” is itself a pastiche of Rachmaninov’s piano concertos.

This is the sheet music for the in-game cut of the song, ピアノ協奏曲第1番”蠍火”(大きな鍵盤と円盤のための), or Piano Concerto #1 “ANTI-ARES” (arrangement for a great keyboard and disc).
