So, without further delays, in strict sense, I give you guys an arrange of a theme that was requested back when I was just into Merlin and recently by some people (you guys sure are insistent ^^).
A classical arrange of Koishi's theme. Note that I said, CLASSICAL, it's not an orchestral arrange. I have yet to find an orchestral arrange, but I swear that when I get my hands on one, I will mercilessly upload it for you guys.

Let's get serious, when it gets down to classical arranges, this theme is probably the most inconvenient one to arrange, since it's hard to arrange "a la" classical (let's ask TAM) and don't let me get started on an acoustic guitar arrange (I think it would sound amazing with a spanish guitar, with a flamenco influence), because of it's weird song structure and it's somewhat fast tempo.
That doesn't stop the sisimai bros. In fact, I read their "comment" on the song, aside from talking about the philosophical references the name of the track contains (which is probably what attracts a lot of people's attention on first glance) and on Koishi's heart shaped bullets (she shoots love!), the pianist commented on how challenging the song is to pull off (not as challenging as Native Faith though, trust me) and it's unusual song structure.

STILL, that didn't stop them. They even commented something on reverse drum beats or something like that, unfortunately google translate isn't the best way to understand stuff.

And thus I conclude that since this song is so hard to arrange classical, nobody does it. But, we all will continue to wait for the day when somebody releases an epic orchestral arrange (or that flamenco one I insist on), be it nazz-can, Morrigan or even Scarlatto di Levante.

Without any more delays I give to you this song, which was supposed to be uploaded 2 days ago, and please do forgive me on the delay.

Curious fact: "The track itself is also arranged so that it has symmetrical parts, making it sound remarkably similar to itself even when played reversed, possibly as a reference to the practice of backmasking."

Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to compose a song that sounds almost the same in reverse? ZUN does not cease to surprise me.

As always, thank you very much for watching.
