What kind of sound does a piano make? (Nogizaka v1c3)
Despite the fact that I've been educated in the art of playing the piano and organ for more than 10 years, I suddenly realised that I have no idea how to translate the sound that a piano makes when I saw it in nogizaka v1c3 (I've learnt the piano for nothing! ) My chinese raw says 'dang dang dang' if translated directly, but I think it's too harsh a sound. My japanese raw says ポロン, which is pronounced as 'Polon' (but is actually romanized as 'Poron'), which makes no sense at all in english -_- I would have gone with 'ding ding ding' myself, but it sounds more like the tinkling of bells than the striking of piano keys. Anyone has a better idea?

友軍のために死ぬこと。
誰にも知られることなく、散っていく命がありました。
決して語られることのない戦いがありました。
明日さえも見えない絶望の中で、今日を生きる権利すら奪われた戦士たち。
守るべき祖国から捨てられ、戦争の大義も、勝利の栄光も、自らの名前さえも奪われた戦士たち。
そして、理想を追い求め、自らの手を血に染める戦士たち。
戦場という絶望の中で、彼らが見た希望とは何だったのでしょうか？
そして、彼らが守り抜いたものとは、何だったでしょうか？
死か、それとも解放か？
これは、歴史を変えた名もなき戦士たちの物語。

Re: What kind of sound does a piano make?
thats easy, they even made a song over it
do re mi fa so la ti
since a piano can go over a long range of notes, i guess it would depend on the song
also try dum dur duh ting plink tink plunk
i guess your best bet would just be dum
