An arrange of Sese Kitsugai's theme Those Dwelling in Unreality in surf rock style.
Near 0:40 it might have been better if I had just the organ and not the guitar perhaps, as someone mentioned that combination there sounded weird. I actually didn't have the organ at all and then decided to add it in, which explains the presence of both instruments there.

Those Surfing in Unreality

I couldn't find a proper instrumental version of the Jimmy Neutron theme that lasts for longer than 50 seconds (there is one but it's just the 50-second version looped) so I decided to make my own fan cover of the full version. Original song by Brian Causey.

Jimmy Neutron Theme (instrumental, full cover)

Instrumental surf arrangement of Elephant, Where Could You Be from The Backyardigans.

Elephant, Where Could You Be (Backyardigans arrangement)

I started making music because I saw only one Touhou surf artist at the time, so I decided to be the second one. Therefore I thought I should post some more Touhou surf arrangements. After some relaxing surf stuff I wanted to go back to more spy-feel surf. Decided to use a sax as a secondary instrument rather than the organ this time for some classic feel. This is an arrangement of Reverse Ideology, originally composed by ZUN.

Double Agent Character (Touhou surf rock)

Instrumental surf rock arrangement of the Backyardigans' I am Professor Bug. Intro is based on Surf Rider from the Ventures, famously covered by the Lively Ones.

I wanted to do another spy-feel kind (as opposed to relaxing) of surf to "rectify" the poor timing in my last one. Not quite the spy feel I was thinking of but alright enough I suppose. Plus I've loved this song so it's nice to do an instro arrangement of it. I really dig those IVm, IIm, and IIIm chords.

I am Professor Bug (Backyardigans instrumental surf)

Did my first orchestral-styled ragtime instrumental cover. The original song is from the Backyardigans.

[Touhou Bossa Nova] As Aventuras de Alice no Ipanema

Instrumental surf rock cover of Teresa Teng's 忘記他, my second most favourite childhood song. The original song doesn't seem to use any rhyming scheme.

My translated lyrics:
To forget him,
Is to forget everything.
It is to lose oneself and lose one's bearings.

To forget him,
Is to forget joy.
It is to chain up one's soul and forever suffer.

Only ever he
Can let me appreciate myself,
Can use love to make everything ordinary seem magnificent.

To forget him,
How could I ever?
You are already engraved in my heart, etched in my bones
From now until forever...

To Forget Him

Decided to try something different. I previously arranged 3/4~6/8 songs into 4/4 and I tried this time to arrange a 4/4 into 3/4. Worked better than I expected.

Red River Waltz

Flute-led 6/8 rock arrangement, with a rhythm harpsichord rather than a rhythm guitar.
Chords of the beginning part: VI-II-III7-VI-II-VI-II-III7

原曲：少女幻葬 ～ Necro-Fantasy (作曲：ZUN)
I read about Baroque Pop/Rock recently and wanted to try something similar.

Kíu-mhí-ghū (九尾狐, lit: "nine-tailed fox") is Tangent's Constructed Chinese (a language that is modelled after Middle Chinese) for a fox spirit/kitsune.
