Sis Puella Magica ピアノ

The OST for Puella Magi Madoka Magica comes out in a few day; for now enjoy a piano rendition of Sis Puella Magica.

魔法少女まどか☆マギカ -the ultimate modification-

I have writer's block; until then enjoy random Madoka videos:

龍門渕透華のリーチ

Next week's post will be relevant:

マミさんの戦闘テーマ

So I thought I was going to a tournament today, but plans spontaneously changed. So here's Mami's theme (Unofficial Nico Nico version):

The official OST comes out May 25.

13日の金曜日

Today is the only Friday the 13th of the year, and you know what they say; it's bad luck to blog post on that day (Or I'm just being lazy, your choice).

The real reason  there isn't a volunteer post today is because I can say, without a doubt, that nothing interesting happened. The only thing of interest was that it's still half price Fraps at Starbucks; until May 15th at least.

Does scary have any correlation with Friday the 13th? Maybe, but here's my media post for the week.

Spoilers for those that haven't watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

空の帰り道 ～ Sky Dream

And we come to an end, with the final arrange being a ZUN original. "空の帰り道　～ Sky Dream" is the credits theme for Touhou 12, and itself is also a remix of "感情の摩天楼　～ Cosmic Mind". To my knowledge, Touhou 12 was the first time he used a remix of another theme as the credits (Granted I haven't listened to the soundtrack of Touhou 1-5 excessively).

You could probably find 30 remixes of "空の帰り道　～ Sky Dream", but my argument is that since it is merely a remix of the original "感情の摩天楼　～ Cosmic Mind", then any remix of that would also be a remix of "空の帰り道　～ Sky Dream". Even so, circles will remix this song, since while "感情の摩天楼　～ Cosmic Mind" is more upbeat, "空の帰り道　～ Sky Dream" is a slower, calmer arrangement.

時の階段

A male vocal arrange of "感情の摩天楼　〜 Cosmic Mind" is quite the rare thing; ななふれっと (A circle I have never heard of) does this arrange very nicely. The vocal is probably the main attraction, there isn't anything outstanding about the instrumental parts.

Eden

I don't follow ALiCE'S EMOTiON, but I do approve of any vocal cover by REDALiCE, another favorite vocalist of mine (along with Nana Takahashi of course).

If I recall correctly, REDALiCE does other arranges besides Touhou; I remember hearing some other song by her that was unrelated to Touhou.

FOUR SEASONS OF LONELINESS

Just when you think you've heard it all, you find something new you like.

And like I said before, I'm not that much of a fan of vocal arranges.

This one by TatshMusicCircle I found to be very catchy, especially the lyrics.

Seven Lights

I'll be frank; I don't like rap.

At least English rap, was never a fan of that.

Japanese rap, on the other hand, is a different story. Even though I don't like rap in general, there are some exceptions. Then again, that could be said about anything: "Even though I don't like _ in general, there are some exceptions".

I don't follow C-CLAYS, but they seem to be a popular circle.

Seven Colors - C-CLAYS

Life is Over

Touhou arranges in English, or more often referred to as "Engrish", isn't very common. Or should I say it isn't very common for any good ones. Nana Takahashi is a good example of a good Engrish vocalist; basically anyone from SOUND HOLIC is good.

This is the first time I heard A1/A-One. They share the Eurobeat style that SOUND HOLIC likes to do with their Engrish songs. Overall, not a bad arrange.

Life is Over - A-One

Lotus Petal

An arrange by Sound Online in their "Hydrangea" album, with PV done by Mesopota. Mesopota PV's are always top quality, and the songs for those PV's are perfect fits.

感情の摩天楼～PandoraBox

A techno remix with a nice PV, although I have never heard of 44teru-k before. Either they are a new group, or they work independently.

感情の摩天楼～PandoraBox - 44teru-k

感情の摩天楼 ～ Cosmic Mind - UI-70

UI-70 is another well known metal arrange group. Since I prefer Demetori, I don't follow UI-70 as much, but they still produce some very good arranges.

感情の摩天楼 - Dark PHOENiX

Never listened to Dark PHOENiX before; I hear they do good orchestrated arranges. Ironic, since this arrange is synth rock. It's very catchy, to say the least.

感情の摩天楼 ～ Cosmic Mind - MPC

Mario Paint Composer arrangements are always fun to listen to. To be able to take a simple program like MPC, and synthesize music is truly a talent. Many would argue it isn't, but anything music related involves creativity, and creativity alone is a talent, no?

I found two arranges using MPC; personally I prefer the second one, but that's just me. They're both very good however.
