Alright, screw it. I was scrounging about all along for another upload to call the 199th and make this one a wonderful and hectastic of a 200th video but I didn't find a suitable filler. Because a filler's got to be good material nonetheless, that is our standard here, okay? Besides, the album influx today was just chaotic, completely post-apocalyptic and other such dramatical warfare. Grating sounds in these ears of mine, the blackest recesses of society, something like that.

No-PE-No-GE marks the first and probably exclusive original arrange to the channel. As explicitely underlined, it doesn't base itself on any Touhou tracks, and is instead a full fledged tune, made entirely from scrap by our jazz diva, the A~YA we've all come to love (and loathe, oh boy, check out that ambiguity). Thus, and because this sort of notion annoys me a little, what with breaking the touhou arrange stride and all that jazz, I decided this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, so you better freakin' enjoy it! Better rain kilograms of passion and love upon this video, better engage in something like that... That is, until the next Swing Holic original rolls around, I suppose ;__;

If you've just started on Swing Holic and your thing is all about going the journeys and ordeals to dig original compositions (there's got to be someone like that amongst the lots of you), then search no more: this is arguably their best original yet. Swing Holic's started producing originals since their second volume and have been composing one for each album ever since. My former favorite was perhaps Twilight Rendezvous, if memory serves me straight, it was their first original. Then, Fruity High Life closely follows up, although A~YA's vocals tend to be a bit murderous, and we've all come to know of A~YA mishaps that were pretty much a big chunk of Swing Holic's undoings in their first two volumes.

This time around though, everything seems to nail off pretty damn right. The sum of its parts is a masterful blend of all of Swing Holic's ammunitions: Brutallistic sax solos, pleasant instrumental background, A~YA voice at her best, and most importantly, A~YA's freakin' lyrics are japanese. This is an important element. Y'know A~YA, sometimes, when a project fails to develop, in this instance, your mastery of ze engrish-fu, sometimes we've got to move on. I mean, don't want to cut you out of your groove there A~YA pops, I'm sure you're having a terrific time enjoying your engrish, but I can assure you times thousand and a half the general crowd is more swell upon your native language skills. Don't know really, just putting that out there.

And while this is no towhoe arrange, it's my favorite track of this release (at this moment, mind you) and surely one of the best vocals madame A~YA has to gift us with.

You show 'em, crow called windgirl.
