Console: NES [2A03 + VRC6 + MMC5]

This song is heavily inspired by Revolutionary Girl Utena (one of my favorite animes). Also, you might also notice some elements related to Kenji Ito, since I recently started listening to his work, got obsessed with it, and now he's one of my favorite composers (and recently finished some covers of his music, which I haven't uploaded them to my social media yet [In fact, the instruments I made for this song come from those covers too xddd])

Like the other songs I've made, this one is designed as if it were a battle for an RPG. In this case, I specifically imagined for it to be used in battles against important bosses for the story, something like the Seven Heroes from Romancing Saga 2 or the Four Fiends from Final Fantasy 1.

I imagined this track as if you were fighting people who were once called heroes. Those who were chosen by a "Rose of Dios" and later became corrupted by a dark entity whose name cannot be spelled or spoken in human tongue. You, as the protagonist, who also were chosen by a rose, one of your goals, aside from saving the world from despair, is to fight with this beings. Do you have the power to purify the heroes? Or will you become the guillotine for those whose promises are breaking?

I think that with the covers I made of Kenji Ito's tracks, I was able to (kind of) fix a problem I had in "Until My Sword Shatters", where I used many channels like strings to mark chords without any interesting variation. Kenji Ito tends to use a lot of strings for making chords, but he also integrates them into the main melody (for example, when the main melody "ascends", the strings accompany it while ensuring they don't overshadow the lead melody.

Anyway, if you find anything odd, please let me know so i can keep it in mind for the next song i create

Thanks for listening :D

A fine tune to Spark to! You really did an awesone job of capturing Ito’s style, even down to the build up to the little pause in the music with a tom roll at 0:56-1:04, excellent work.

I could smell the Itoken from a mile away haha. The style fused with the pulse-chip-iness make it feel like a combination of his styles in both Romancing SaGa and Wild Card, which I'm very here for.

I kinda wanna see the covers now too...
