Why yes, I couldn't just go through this Reitasai stride thing going on without hitting on one of my favorite Trance arrangers.

Amane's been regarded by several people (or so I've seen) as mildly annoying techno/trance. I'm not into statistics but judging from youtube's hivemind, it's what I gathered.
Frankly, I think each song Amane churns out is a walking success. It doesn't need to be groundbreaking or anything considerably far-fetched to do its job, am I right on this?

Amane though, another thing that draws his repertoire strongly is each songs's really faithful to the original. In that sense, it's more of a remix other than an arrange you could say. I have to me he analyses each song a couple times and then picks out the most catchy segment of it and works his compositions around it, which seems to be always the case. It seems to me he drinks a lot of inspiration from other artists like dBu, or to some sort of resemblance at least. But then again, I am one to talk, am I? No, definitely not. I know nearly nothing of this guy apart from his Touhou releases.

Maple Dream is eh, let's get heads over heels here, the best staff roll theme ever. The original track is engaging, addicting and absolutely stunning. It is good electronic bait, too. There's nothing too bad that could stem outta this. I don't even like PoDD that much so there you have it.

Well then, have some miko yourself in this fine gentle evening. Take my fanboy analysis to heart and perhaps to the liver too.

Donations are that way.
