DescriptionTitle: 上海紅茶館 ~ Asian Arrange
Artist: SHI (Seaside)
Circle: Mistbell
Album: Mirage 〜夜奏幻樂団
Original: 上海紅茶館 〜 Chinese Tea (Shanghai Teahouse ~ Chinese Tea)

Last month I got a request, a request from Roxas199, a great follower of the poltergeists' channels and a great person overall. He requested a song for Chinese New Year, one that should have a somewhat "Chinese" sound. At first I was slightly taken aback by the request, since, Chinese New Year, this year, coincided with the same day of S. Valentines, the 14th. But, while scavenging through my loot, I bumped into this arrange, and said "Oh **** this is perfect!!!".
As I think he isn't the only that might celebrate this occasion I thought most of the channels followers would like the upload.

And, yes, I know, it's not the 14th yet, but I hope you'll forgive me for uploading this earlier than planned.

Of course, when you think "Chinese" in Touhou who other than China would come to our mind? She is the very embodiment of Oriental Touhou! Unfortunately I don't think her theme is that Chinese sounding at all, on the other hand, her stage theme comes right out from a Chinese Teahouse in Shanghai, in other words it really has that "Chinese" sound.
Aside from that, I believe it's one of ZUN's best songs, ever, and also one of the first songs that I heard in Touhou. God bless Chinese Tea.

For those who do not know, SHI is another great Touhou classical arranger, although he doesn't do all classical, but that's one of his charms, he adds unique spinoffs to his songs, and has a lot of potential as a classical arranger. It's just that he hardly ever releases his stuff on albums, and just keeps them on his website in pretty low and slightly crappy quality, which is frustrating, since the songs are amazing.
Don't worry though, I've routed out all of his best songs in albums, and will upload them in due time.

I'll leave the song commenting to you guys, since I'm already out of words, and tears. The guitar solo caught me so much by surprise that I just don't know what to say for once.

Before I close this video, the 8th image pack is up and ready to be downloaded by you guys, containing all the images from video 141 to 160.
