So, I am a huge fan of Hiroki's work =^.^=
and up until recently I haven't had a way to hear his 1995 album "Secret of Mana +"

Out of curiosity, a few days ago I Googled it and saw there is a freakin' YouTube video!!

WOW... *L_*
Hiroki has some splendid samples throughout this 49 minute adventure... I mean song Hehe

I especially like 32:22 - 41:00 and the beginning up til 6:30. Not really into the phone noises but it's okay :-)

I actually made a tab of the melody that plays from 34:18 - 35:12 but it is essentially the melody up until 40:42
Secret of Mana +
This song makes me feel brave and selfless, I guess heroic Heh =^.^= Particularly 32:22 - 41:00

I am wondering if anyone could figure out the background guitar part for the section I tabbed (34:18 - 35:12)
Sounds like fingerstyle or just some crucial alternate picking

I am having fun with this album and I hope some others will check it out!
Maybe some rad cats will cover some other parts like the Cello in the beginning 4 minutes in haha

Only listened to the first 10mins so far, and it's quite a beauty. The cello of that early part is truly just wonderful <:

I'm not sure if I've spoken
