Masayoshi Minoshima (nomico) - Bad Apple!!

Rate this Entry
  


Been a while since I updated but I've been busy. Back with a great vocal track sung by nomico and arranged by Minoshima of Alstroemeria Records. The original version is from the fourth touhou title, Lotus Land Story back on PC-98, and was the second danmaku title. This video includes a variety of girls from across numerous touhou titles, and the lyrics and song fit quite well for the featured youkai and humans alike.

It's a pretty huge departure from the 16-bit midi original version of the song, having been slowed down quite a bit and the instrumentation changes. Although it still feels like it captures the sort of theme ZUN was going for with it being sort of dark. Lyrically, it translates to topics concerning the downsides of a long life that most of the characters in the series enjoy. How emotionally draining it is and the loneliness, and how it wears them down at a very fundamental level just existing. Although almost every line is phrased as a question, as if they're seeking an answer or reprieve from their current state.

Overall one of my favorite arrangements even if it has been driven into the ground a bit, and the video really puts it over the top.
