I used three N163 channels for the "guitar" sound, then ran them through an amp simulator in my DAW, so no, this isn't purely FamiTracker, but I made the song fully in FamiTracker before adding the stereo effects. I hope you enjoy it.

So, I've happily fallen into the VTuber rabbit hole these past couple of months and mostly just watching a few clips here and there, as well as stream vods when I can, although I don't have a huge amount of time for them these days.

What the people at Hololive have done is huge and it has actually introduced me to a lot of Japanese music artists, including Tatsuro Yamashita and subsequently Akina Nakamori - I really love the 80s vibe that is completely different from electronic music here in the UK in the 80s, at least in my opinion.

I can't get enough of the music and karaoke streams and have been completely captivated by Houshou Marine's stream from late last year, particularly her duet with Tokoyami Towa singing DESIRE. I genuinely can't stop listening to it - the contrast between their two voices is sublime.

Anyway, I just had to do a remake of it as best I could, using the Marine x Towa duet version as a reference. I hope that the lead instruments for the two voices have some contrast and fit the overall vibe of the song as well as I think they do. This track has got some amazing chord progressions and structure and feel overall that I completely love. I do hope I can do something else again soon.

Arcadia X - Highway To Arcadia

LYRICS:
below the ocean
there's a deep burning fire
beneath the ebb and flow
a core that is breathing
will we ever stop
and wonder what's beneath the surface
will we even reach
will we even reach the furnace
below the ocean sky
