Help Buying Kajiura's sheet music

[thesums]

Hi all I am back!

But I still cannot decide which book to buy....QQ

Has anyone bought the "Easy Piano Solo: Yuki Kajiura Collection", the one with 41 pieces?

And can compare the difficulty level with:

OR

I just want to know if there is actually a difference despite the "yasashi". If it is significantly easier I will buy the 2 books, if not I will just buy the one with 41 songs, and save some money.

But I am going to Japan in the summer, so I might be able to buy it directly...although I am not sure if it is easy to find

Thanks!

Silly question, but why are vocal arrangements of Japanese sheet music so hard to come by?

Karaoke versions of tracks are ok in some circumstances but for singing competitions (Eisteddfodau) vocal scores are essential so that judges can tell how well a singer is following the score.

I think it's only important in classical music to be accurate; in pop competitions the judge only cares if you sound good, and sometimes give bonus points if you twist the melody a little (e.g. american idol and all them other similar shows)
