【東方アレンジ】Touhou 16 - The Concealed Four Seasons  Hidden Star In All Seasons Remix

Bad Apple, or "BAD Apple!!" as ZUN likes to spell it
From Touhou 4 Lotus Land Story
Composed by ZUN
Remastered/Arranged by me

Yesterday, i felt like arranging Bad Apple, so i did.
It was quite random, i was just listening to an old arrange i made of Bad Apple in 2017 for something secret (you will find out eventually when said something is actually released...it's not up to me sadly).
But yes, while i was listening to my 2017 arrange of Bad Apple, i listened to Illusionary Sputnik Night from ZUN's music CD; Griomoire of Marisa, and i thought "hmmm...wouldn't it be cool if other old ZUN songs had those cool extended parts too?".
So, well, i figured it wouldn't be very hard to do, so i started working on it, it took around 11 hours.
For this arrange, i wanted to prioritize "remaster" for the first half, and "arrange" for the second half.
I really like the original song, but i have to admit that i am not very fond of the melody at 1:08, and thus, i also found it a little difficult to improve on.
Honestly, that part of the song is quite basic and even boring in my honest opinion, certainly not amongst my favourite melodies ZUN composed.
A lot of people would probably say "but Sylvy, it's the PC-98 era, he was still bad then", and to that i say...really? Some of my favourite ZUN songs are PC-98 songs, a lot of them have great composition.
Of course, i really love the rest of the original aside from that part, just a great Touhou song all around.
I tried making the song a bit longer by adding some new parts, messing with key changes, and adding a piano solo.
There's also some easter eggs hidden in the background melodies, pay close attention, and you might recognize them.
Also, i tried making this song more Marisa-ish than Reimu-ish.
There's 2 paths in Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story, it depends on which character you pick, the stage 1 theme will be different depending on which character you pick.
I always thought it would be kind of interesting to imagine what the music of Touhou 4 would sound like if each stage had like a "Reimu variation" and a "Marisa variation" of the music, this would definetely be the "Marisa variation" of Bad Apple.
I think if i ever made a "Reimu variation", it would sound a bit more eastern (the irony of that statement does not fly over my head), maybe with those cool saw instruments from her theme in Touhou 8...
This song was very easy and chill to work on, so i had fun, especially since i am working very hard on more difficult songs behind the scenes (i'm composing for 2 albums and 2 game OST's, consider joining/donating to my Patreon if you want to hear some of the songs early)

Also i drew Elly for the thumbnail, she's the stage 3 boss of Touhou 4 (this is not obvious for a surprising amount of people because of the popularity of the Astromo-something-i-forgot Records arrange of Bad Apple)

Remaster/Arrange: Bad Apple

Septette for the Dead Princess
Original by ZUN
Arranged by me

This is a Halloween special!
A few years ago, i tried to arrange this song, but in my honest opinion, i did not do very well, so i wanted to try again this time, but with a different approach.
You see, let's be honest, there are currently way too many Septette arranges already in the world, and just making the song "normal" wouldn't be fun i think, so i went a little crazy, i added some new parts, multiple piano spams and solos, and some melody and rhythm changes.

About the instrumentation:
This time around, i challenged myself to not use the Edirol SD-90, because i use it in every song, i wanted to see how it would sound like if i didn't.
This song primarily uses Kontakt 5 factory library and Halion 6, both which i have bought thanks to your commissions and financial support on my Patreon.
I wanted some parts to feel a bit "misty", because i wanted to show a side of Remilia's theme that is not often felt in many arranges, i used a combination of more "punchy" and more "floaty" instruments to try to balance feelings a little.
I payed extra attention to how some of the instrument combinations feel, especially in the chorus, i tried something a bit different there, because it has a lot more emptiness than usual, i think that emptiness is sometimes nice to have as a balance to the more wild and melodical parts.

Overall, i am quite happy with how this turned out, i think it is a lot better than my previous Septette arrange, i'm very curious what you think!
I'm very busy with composing for indie games and for multiple albums, so there might be less uploads on this channel between now and the end of December, so please keep that in mind when you see less uploads.

I wish you all a happy Halloween by the way!
Halloween is a very "English-American tradition", it is not really a big thing in my country (the Netherlands), but i have a lot of foreign friends, and most of my subscribers are American, and it is a fun opportunity to do something special with music, so why not?
