Border of Life (Touhou Songs #52)

(Note: I made this video using iMovie, and since I have no idea what I'm doing with it, I didn't know how to make a fade-in. Other than that, please let me know if there's something wrong with the quality of this video)

Yes, it's another Perfect Cherry Blossom upload, but it's easily my favorite song from Reitaisai 8 so far (and probably will be by the time I hear everything I'm interested in).

This is a vocal arrange of Border of Life, sung by my personal favorite Touhou vocalist, Maika, and arranged by NAGI☆. I don't like most vocal Touhou arranges, but somehow, this duo has made songs that I absolutely love. Actually, once I heard the crossfade for this album, this was my most anticipated song of Reitaisai 8, and it did not disappoint me at all.

I guess it also helps that this song is something I would listen to when I'm feeling down. I think this is one of the more cheerful songs that Maika sung (though a translation of the lyrics might suggest the opposite...) and NAGI's instrumentals complement the mood perfectly.

I hope you enjoy the song (and if you don't like vocals, don't worry, more instrumentals are coming up soon).

[helee28]

are there any instrumentals of the arrange songs??

[DarkDragonLancer]

@helee28 Unfortunately, I don't know if an instrumental of this song exists, but I will be keeping an eye out for one.

[helee28]

@DarkDragonLancer ah thanks.. and usually there arent any instrumentals for the vocal arrange versions of touhou songs right? i cant even find their lyrics ><'

[DarkDragonLancer]

@helee28 I think it depends on the artist or circle. I've heard of instrumentals for a few vocal songs (one of my previous uploads is one examples) but they're not all too common.

As for the lyrics, try searching other videos of this song. I've found lyrics for two of Maika's previous songs with this circle.

Hm. You linked me to this song twice, except this one is uploaded by "Oh the K-On Cory? I'm sorry" person >_______>

[DarkDragonLancer]

@skatemancory222 I've had a lot of nicknames over the past few years, but this has to be the most original one I've heard. Good job, sir.

@ZombehWolf You can hear the melody around 3:00 for a bit, but I guess that's a bit too small of a portion of the song ^^;. You can also hear a bit of the melody on the xylophones/bells at the beginning and on the piano scattered throughout in between vocals.

[ZombehWolf]

It's nice, but I fail to feel the border of life in it.

[helee28]

@DarkDragonLancer ah thanks! ^^

[helee28]

[praquenicknickpraque]
