[PC-98 Arrange] Deathscythe Paradise

Hi everyone, it's Mana. Once again it's been a long-- actually, let's just get right into it!

This is a PC-98 arrangement of the song "Deathscythe Paradise" composed by Wanwan for the Touhou fangame "Tri Focuser ~ Outside the Traditional World".

This song is truly one of the coolest Touhou-style original compositions I've ever heard. At least to me, it hits a lot of things that I find cool: metal, gothic, and it feels anime-like. Oh and scythes? Scythes are cool.

Anyway, a few years ago, I wondered what it would be like if, instead of sticking to ZUN-style PC-98 restrictions, I went all out and used every feature of the PC-9801-86 that I could figure out. The most notable "upgrade" is the usage of the PPZ8 driver, which allows up to 8 sample channels. This arrangement is the end result of my research and experimentation over these past few years.

Lastly, I wanted to say that this style of arrangement will not be a regular thing on my channel. Future Touhou PC-98 arrangements will likely return to the familiar ZUN style of arrangement that I've always done.

See you next time!
