'kay guys here's an epic arrange from the new Oriens album.~ And I'm saying ARRANGE, not the vocals, I'll get to that too. .__.
But now to the arrange... Damn I'm such a sucker for choirs so the intro totally threw me off!
Rei is one of the best orchestra arrangers in Touhou, no doubt about that. I love most of what he does but I feel like many people are going to be disappointed because it's not the epic orchestra stuff anymore but Symphonic Rock with vocals. But personally I don't mind, as long as he's going to continue making awesome orchestra stuff.x3 But a change in genres is not always a bad idea too... I still think the arranges are pretty good overall even though it's different. My favourites must be this and Heaven and Earth, the Ghostly Eyes arrange.
Well like I said I really love the choir intro, the whole arrange but then the vocals jump in...and they're not good when they jump in.T_T Anyone else smells some Fuki syndrome here? As if she's trying but the song is too much for her voice... BUT I don't want to be too hard on the singer, because the original is hard to sing! Well I can't sing myself but I can imagine that the solo melody is really tough.
So I don't want to be too hard to her, well I can't say she's doing THAT part well, tbh it sounds horrible T_T, but then when the chorus comes in she sounds pretty good. And from what I read she's new to Touhou arranges so that's another thing... Ugh such a beautiful arrange but the high notes...T_T
So what I did, I skipped the horrible high parts and enjoyed the rest, the chorus where she sounds a tad better and the whole arrange, yup!=D I'm probably going to upload 1 or 2 other arranges from the album but not much. Just the ones I like.
Thanks for watching.~
Background music: Sounds great
Singing: Ugh...where's the instrumental version of this song?

@FireOps That's what I was asking myself too. If there was an instrumental, I'd have posted that one because the background music is really intense. But yeah, I don't think he made one ._.
