Upon giving this album two listens and a half, I decided this was textbook candid bliss.

I can't believe this guy. Why would you wait so much time to step on the market when you've got such a humongous talent like this? Well, I suppose it could be said some artists only release the type of material to the best of their abilities, unlike some newcomers that you truthfully want to tack on the moment you give them a listen. They're different types of mentality you could say.

I'm just slightly moved because this was a good surprise. Granted, maybe I'm being a little disingenuous here since I've been listening to this album over the course of some days now, hitting repeat upon repeat, and I'm not so surprised by now, but I'm trying to convey what I originally felt.

What I primarily felt was the elegant key touch, the multi-layered melody and an incredible depth to it. This is such a delicate playing, you can bluntly notice how much years of talent and experience have gone by to reach this spot. Truly, as KakashiMr said in his upload pertaining to this album, this seems like somewhat Chopin, specially the last song.

There's two distinct parts to this upload.
The first song portrays our playful and mocky Marisa to the extent a piano can. Maybe not as much the spoiled and annoying brat Marisa can be, rather, the warming charm of a silly woman, so to speak. And while I could nearly as cuddle myself to death while listening to it, I thought I'd add up to the mood and select a picture that made you all fuzzy inside.
Uploader's note: I'm not trying to achieve or promote any sort of pairing here, so don't chop me to bits. However, if you ask me, that looks pretty darn cute :V

As the fourth minute hits, we jump straight into another different vibe. Incidentally, this is the last track of the album, and it sorta shows. To be honest, I can't depict the whole album even if I try to the mightiest of my efforts with just two tracks. This is the type of listen you jump into the first track and let the whole album roll around. It's quite interesting to notice a certain crescendo and breakdown, not only in each particular track, but also as far as the complete album goes.
Arguably, this is more of a Spring Lane ~ Colorful Path upload, while the slight Maiden's Capriccio remarks are cleverly played by Shinya's left hand. It is not the meat and potato of the track, however, it is an interesting combination to note nonetheless.
I don't think I've ever seen an arrange this beautiful with Reimu's themes. I'll be the first one saying, and specifically in regards to Colorful Path, the prime directive should be to render them an upbeat vibe, but I'm so glaringly wrong in the face of this...

I certainly will be following with distinct interest this man's portfolio. If these are his standards, then I think marasy and the crew have got a new partner here.

The role of the one who will carve the path of righteousness. And even If the road dies astray into a hideous landscape, the red maiden must still go on. And many, much more colors will the miko be painted, and tainted again. If such a dreaded fate must be carried, let the cherry blossoms float and away throughout a sea of supressed tears that will never be shed, and if they cannot swim, let they fly away in the morning spring breeze to tell the world the rhapsody of a woman who is cursed with the fate of the world in her shoulders.
