Virkato, who was named after | Virkato, who was named "male cat" after his father's wish "you're a male, you're surely male", grew up to be a brave sambo master as his name suggested, while learning piano from his mother, who was a music teacher, and his true femininity blossomed. However, the family's business collapsed due to the matryoshka market decline. His beloved Steinway was seized, so he practiced on the back cover of music textbooks. | ||
The concept of his | The concept of his memorable debut piano concerto "Sasoribi", was born from such despair and hopelessness. It was an ambitious work which tried new things at that time, including the fusion of a newly released mellotron with an orchestra. Originally, the composition was planned to be a standard piano concerto with three movements, but since its first performance was suddenly held using a large keyboard and disc, it was performed as a single movement of around two minutes. Therefore, the light and dark undulations of silence and motion are intense within a short time period, which was also influenced from the picture book "Yokatta ne Ned-kun".<br> | ||
Following the premiere, Virkato was satisfied with the result and excitedly said "those who bought the soundtrack will hear something more horrifying". Well, | Following the premiere, Virkato was satisfied with the result and excitedly said "those who bought the soundtrack will hear something more horrifying". Well, he should've stopped there.<br> | ||
After that, Virkato seldom talked about this variation with "a large keyboard and disc", but his last words during his final years were "it might be unreasonable to play this on a 7-key keyboard". It's too late to realize this now. | After that, Virkato seldom talked about this variation with "a large keyboard and disc", but his last words during his final years were "it might be unreasonable to play this on a 7-key keyboard".

Virkato was ahead of his time when his song "[[Ongaku]]", which was based on "Piano kyousoukyoku dai 2 ban "Jinsei iroiro"", could be played using the nine round and colorful buttons, but believing the rumors that advanced players considered the difficulty level of nine buttons songs to be far easier since "Ongaku", it's said he was determined to perform a variation of "Sasoribi" for the nine buttons game. Rumors are scary. | Virkato was ahead of his time when his song "[[Ongaku]]", which was based on "Piano kyousoukyoku dai 2 ban "Jinsei iroiro"", could be played using the nine round and colorful buttons, but believing the rumors that advanced players considered the difficulty level of nine buttons songs to be far easier since "Ongaku", it's said he was determined to perform a variation of "Sasoribi" for the nine buttons game.

With increasing momentum for the re-evaluation (and re-criticism) of Virkato's works in the 21st century, a reconstructed version of "Sasoribi" from Virkato's original music sheets by Osamu Kubota, a famous musician and Virkato researcher, is included in a CD. As of 2012, it's the closest thing to Virkato's envisioned song, and is a must listen, must buy, so anyways, please buy it. | With increasing momentum for the re-evaluation (and re-criticism) of Virkato's works in the 21st century, a reconstructed version of "Sasoribi" from Virkato's original music sheets by Osamu Kubota, a famous musician and Virkato researcher, is included in a CD.

Although the character's background is invisible, I mainly chose silent from his affinity with high EX difficulty levels.
