Download Anime Music Sheets

Here is a list of websites that I usually go to in order to download .pdf files of music sheets for anime songs (themes and soundtracks). Some of these websites also offer sheet music for video games. Sites are written in no specific order.

note: I only play the piano and violin. That is why, some of these sites are specifically for violin and/or piano. If you play other instruments such as guitar, cello, flute, etc., these websites also offer links to other wonderful sites to get music sheets for other instruments and guitar tabs.

Violin only • Free Download • Accepts Requests


Various individual instruments and orchestra • Free download • Accepts Requests


Various individual and group instruments • Free download • Accepts Requests


Various individual and group instruments and orchestra • Free download • Accepts Requests for a fee


Violin and other string instruments • Free download
(I'm not quite sure if Anime on Strings~ accepts requests! xD)


To all those musically-talented anime fans out there, I hope you enjoy playing your favorite anime, video games, and j-pop songs! :D

Unfortunately, the site has shut down. Only the forums remain. It is very unfortunate since it had been a big part of me. But, oh well.

Mangaka Profile: Kubo Tite

久保 帯人 (Kubo Tite)
Real Name: 久保 宣章 (Kubo Noriaki)
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Birth date: June 26, 1977
Birth place: Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
Notable Work/s: Bleach, Zombie-Powder

BACKGROUND
The son of a town council member in Fuchu, Aki District, Hiroshima, Kubo graduated from the local high school. In an interview, Kubo has stated that he entered a magazine's manga contest, and that although he did not win, one of the magazine's editors noticed his talent. They subsequently worked together on joint projects. Not long afterward, his first manga short, "Ultra Unholy Hearted Machine", was published in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump Special in 1996. This was followed by two more shorts, and in 1999 his first serial, Zombie-powder, began in Weekly Shōnen Jump and ran for four volumes until 2000, when it was cancelled. According to the author's commentary in the cover leaf of the third tankōbon, Kubo was in a state of severe emotional trauma when he wrote it.

His next series, Bleach, began running in the same magazine in 2001. As of 2004, an anime adaptation of Bleach began running in Japan. The manga was named a winner of the Shogakukan Manga Award for its category in 2005. Kubo and Makoto Matsubara have co-authored two novelizations of the Bleach series, which were published by Shueisha under their Jump Books label. A Bleach movie was released in Japan on December 16, 2006, followed by a second movie on December 22, 2007. Kubo also appeared in the episode 112 of the Japanese radio program of Bleach B-Station. In that program, Kubo was interviewed by Masakazu Morita, voice actor of Ichigo Kurosaki, the main character of Bleach, and answered several questions from fans. On July 26, 2008, Kubo went to the United States for the first time and made an appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con International.
