Special thanks to hegatia lapis for the wonderful fanart of Shinki. We still need some more Shinki fanart out there lol…
My note:
Didn’t expect her return so soon… But why improve this song again? Well, the instrumentation back then wasn’t enough of an impact and the GarageBand iOS of the past didn’t have many features and limitations when I composed it… And so with some new instruments and total balancing, this composition drastically improved. Oh? Did you also listen to ‘Ordeal from God’ as well? It is added in there, and I thought it would be a nice touch for this song. That said, if there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.
It’s always so nice to go back and redo some old compositions. I’m always eager to compose a song again to show how much I’ve improved throughout the years. So, I hope you all enjoyed this one, as this marks the 100th video.
I also have to give a special credit/shoutout to Mono Chrome, for the inspiration. Their MIDI arrangement of Legendary Illusion and Ordeal from God was very creative, and the mix between the two songs were incredible to hear. I suggest you listen to their wonderful arrangement here: https://youtu.be/4t-naB_JOHA
Now as for the news you’ve been waiting for… I’m still working on Mayumi’s theme right now… I know you’re all waiting for the last Touhou GarageBand special, and I appreciate your patience so far. Mayumi’s theme is by far the 2nd most difficult composition I’ve ever done (1st was Nuclear Fusion). But don’t worry, I’m still active on finishing it and it will be released soon. So until then, stayed tuned and take it easy!
Whoever disliked this is gonna feel the wrath of the goddess. I mean c’mon there’s already 4 dislikes? What the hell? To the users that disliked it, can you give me a reason why?
