Has anyone seen any promotions or statements about this album getting an accompanying sheet music booklet printed anywhere?

If so, let me know.

Bleh, something about these arrangements just doesn't do it justice, like it's over-simplified or something.
Since the series is aimed at a younger audience, I suppose that's why they took a more juvenile, no-frills approach.

Still feel disappointed that they could have taken this into a much more epic direction if they had wanted to.

Yeah, my heart kind of sank when I saw 'Easy Piano Ver.' in the album notes.

[dissident93]

shouldn't the localized English tracklist be default?

[Chris]

Agreed with Carl here. I don't think this product should have been sold separately -- it should have been packaged with the sheet music book exclusively. There's a great market for them and a listening companion would have helped. But the easy piano versions make very bland listening on their own. While the second half is just about passable, I'd still not recommend paying the 31 USD album price for 26 minutes of music.

I had the same feeling. It just doesn't feel that organic to me as well. I just listened to one the FF Piano Collections again and I think I can now appreciate these CDs even more.
