Lyrics taken from the song "the Arc" by the band "Alice Nine" (since they took the melody from Lufia II!)    • Alice Nine - the Arc   STORY / BORING TEXT This was originally made for the monthly videogame music contest of Pixel Mixers. It's "recover month", which means covering something that was covered before, whether by you or anyone else. While it'd be easy to remake some of my earliest and worst attempts of ruining music, or ruining an arrangement originally made by someone close, I just though of going to a totally different direction and instead picked something from a japanese artist that, unfortunately, is not very well known in the western world. Someone with names or nicknames like Shiki Hyokura, Nota Lacrimae, XX and probably more. I remember checking random stuff in random corners of the internet years ago to eventually find in the (now defunct) site of some japanese artist (doujin?) that had a lot of cool mp3s to download. Well, to be fair there were a lot of them in the 2000s or even 2010s as long as I know. That one, however... it just blown my mind since the first time I listened to it. It's so metal... so brutal yet melodic and emotional. Very much my thing. Plus the arrangement and structure is very similar to how I'd personally do. So that was one of the first choices I had in mind when I though of submitting to that contest. I had the pleasure to count with a team of talented musicians and nice people on this, and the result is what you can hear there. The video concept basically follows the traditional 4-party-members of typical 90s JRPG, with each one of us being represented by a chocobo. You might get a surprise regarding the generic yellow one, though. Fancier ideas was in my mind but just didn't have the time and went to a simpler direction. Still somewhat interesting and entertainment to watch, I think. So... nothing more to say for now. If you kept reading this whole text until here, congrats!

Or just search for better stuff somewhere else, who cares?
