OMG, NO WAY! *re-listens from 0:33 to 0:53* ZUN, well-played! That little part of this song sounds like it's based off the last boss fight from the old NES game Double Dragon II: The Revenge. If you can find it here on YouTube, you'll pick up on it, immediately!
Read lots of books, listen to lots of music, and know how to program your own game with oddly drawn yet incredibly cute/moe girls and YOU TOO can be a Superstar in the modern world XD!!!
The combination of triplet notes and varying percussion backgrounds makes the song feel like it keeps moving from slow to fast. Funny it ended up with a character that manipulates time.
@SEGPED Extraordinarily insightful. I haven't listened to this theme much at all, but I was thinking something along the same lines (although without as much articulation). I do, however, think there are some very slight tempo changes in there, I need to check this in Audacity.
@KlLLAH573 Actually, ZUN mentios in the sound test that he threw in triplets to give the illusion of a change in tempo, without actually doing so. Whenever any composer throws in triplets when the rest of the melody's in regular crotchets and quavers, it screws with your perception of tempo, so... good job, ZUN!
@Digitalsp33r There is an actual change in tempo, at around 1:35. At this point, the tempo slows down slightly from approximately 171.2 BPM to about 160.6 BPM.
@winterrose2008 You mean like one of my friends did for the last anime convention to come to my city? cos she looked more like sakuya than sakuya herself.
I met someone who dressed up as Sakuya once . . . looked like a brunette version of her.
