Kasuka na Hana "A Faint Flower" (Tsugaru Syamisen Honte TAB)

TV anime "Hell's Paradise" second season opening theme

It is arranged in B minor, the same key as the original song. The performances and karaoke versions distributed separately by various companies are also in the same key. The length of the piece is also the same as the original.

Part 1 plays the main melody. The tempo is fast, and the sections with continuous eighth notes can easily lose rhythm, so practice them carefully. That said, playing those continuous notes cleanly and confidently will improve the groove.

Also, the “scooped” note (sukui) in measure 5 of section A is a bit unusual, but it’s designed to enhance the groove, so give it a try.

The chorus features many wide interval jumps, so aim carefully for the pitches, especially on the higher notes.

Part 2 mainly handles the backing. In relation to Part 1, there are moments where it should stand out clearly and others where it supports the melody, so be mindful of that distinction as you play.

Since the chord progressions in sections D and E are quite different, be careful when playing them.

Please refer to the distributed performance versions and YouTube tutorial videos as you practice.
