SoM's titles are all references to Hiroki Kikuta's favorite works, and this one is the Japanese title of the film _Heart of Darkness_, 闇の奥. So the proper translation would be Heart of Darkness. But I guess you shouldn't call the tab that, even though it'd be more accurate, since no one would search for that... :-) Just being a translation geek, here.

That sounds spot on Auri!! =^.^= As for the translation, I have read about Hiroki's referencing films/books he likes in his song titles. I think your true translation would be a fitting title but "In the Dead of Night" seems to be the most popular. |

Since I've gotten your chords down enough to play it fast and clean, they really do sound precise. For the sake of the tab's accuracy, I'll probably use your chords. I've been playing it all day using my original tab and I've got a weird cover of it going. |

Way easier with the note removal and down at 7-10 frets I'm gonna jam around with some of these variations and update it tomorrow. :-) |

Auri, your first set of chords ring true to the original. =^.^= Awesome job!!! I guess my lack of conventional guitar practice kind of impairs my ability to nail it like that. I'm just a tadpole and you're the master game tabbing frog! Hehe |

Do you think I should do an easier part for those who can't reach the higher frets? I think this song would be good to integrate into a live show using the different renditions at different times. For instance, I was playing the true version of this song then played "Whisper and mantra" and "Mystic Invasion" then played my first version of this song and it sounded pretty sweet! |
Also, I was considering

For sure, I understand you not wanting to jeopardize my decisions with your suggestions. hehe but.... The way I see it is like: Say I'm eating an uncooked frozen burrito; I am liking it and think it's good; then, you see me and bring over a cooked one; obviously I am going to think the cooked one taste better because it is the proper way. make sense? haha So, basically there's no reason to use my first version because the true chords sound so much more on point. I'll still use my first version in live performances because it sounds awesome when you switch it up. I added the easier part as well =^.^= |

I'm working on this SoM song as well. Guess I'll submit it here :-) EDIT: I was using the timing numbers (at the bottom of each measure) for spacing. |

Oh, I just listened to this soundtrack for the first time yesterday! The battle themes are crazy. For you "A conclusion" tab, I think the rhythm goes more like this: Drop D Tuning e|----------------------------------------------------------------- B|----------------------------------------------------------------- G|----------------------------------------------------------------- D|----------------------------------------------------------------- A|---7---------------7---------------7---------------7------------- D|-7---------------7---------------7---------------7--------------- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + You can change the second half yourself. And the other instruments sound fine

No, I like it. The majority of my tabs have that while I'm writing them, like I'll write: e |--------------------------------|----------------------------17--| B |------------17--15------14------|--------------------------------| G |----------------------------16--|------------14----------14------| D |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| A |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| E |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . x . . . I always get rid of it before I post the tab, but that's just me. I think it's fine putting stuff like that in, too. I think the TablEdit tabs end up looking like that, for example. Personally, I just use them to space out my notes proportionate to the rhythm, and if I think the tab needs the rhythm to be notated, I end up writing it above Guitar Pro style, like Q. and W and E and so on. But whatever, I like the style you use ^-^

In time, Mana was used to create the ultimate weapon: The Mana Fortress...
Before all was lost, a hero with The Mana Sword smashed the fortress...
But time flows like a river... and history repeats...
