Th09.5/Music in English

No. 1 Tengu's Notebook ~ Mysterious Note	Arrangement of Theme of Eastern Story
@ 　 The title & menu theme. The same old piece. However, this time I tried to give it a bit more of a dark and retro feel, as well as a bit of youkai. That raining noise is a youkai mystery. No, there's nothing wrong with your monitor or speakers, so relax.

No. 2 Wind Circulation ~ Wind Tour
@ 　 Photo theme 1. For this game, instead of the usual boss battle music, I wanted it to be more casual, so I wrote this. It has a very relaxed feel, because Aya's enjoying herself - as if she were teasing her target.

No. 3 Tengu is Watching ~ Black Eyes
@ 　 Photo theme 2. It's easygoing enough to seem scary and cute. Though kidnaping and eating people is a youkai thing to do, this cheerfulness that must've come from somewhere is also part of the fabled tengu image. I think this piece mixes that scariness, cuteness, cheerfulness, and carelessness together.

No. 4 Sleepless Night of the Eastern Country
@ 　 Photo theme 3. Written for the middle levels. While it feels like both the boss and Aya are having fun, it's hard to convey the feeling of the boss being coerced. This tune is aware of that, so while being light and bright, it was written to also bring out the strength of the boss. Especially the piano.

No. 5 Retrospective Kyoto
@ 　 Photo theme 4. Written for the later half of the game. I feel, deep inside, that this hints at retro Japan. Snow, falling in the capital. A deserted night road. But, this retro is my idea of retro... Listening to this might make you reminisce.

No. 6 Wind God Girl	Duplicate of the same theme from Phantasmagoria of Flower View
@ 　 Photo theme 5. This is Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red's main theme, so I couldn't leave it out. Though this edit is hardly used :-)
