DescriptionTitle: 眠れる少女の魔想曲

Original: ラクトガール ~ 少女密室 (Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Secret Room)

So I got my first request, TearAsahina requested for a classical arrange of Patchouli's theme, and we all know how much we love that theme.

So while I was browsing the many arranges of this theme I had I bumped into about 5 TAM arranges of this, well, of course, I could have uploaded a TAM arrange, and said, "There you go, it's an awesome song, end of story", because most of TAMs arranges are awesome, and leave you speechless, but well, you've probably heard those and I really liked this one, so I decided to upload this instead.

Ah... Locked Girl, sincerely, when I see the words "Touhou Classical" the first theme that comes to mind is this theme, seriously, this track was practically made for classical arranges, I mean, seriously, who doesn't like to listen to the main part on a violin, it sounds gorgeous; which does not mean that other arranges of this theme are not awesome.

I'll admit Patchouli herself isn't one of the characters that really intrigue me, I have a neutral standing regarding her, but well, she is the ultimate otaku touhou character, technically, and her pajamas are cute. ^_^

OK, on to the song, I think it's gorgeous, left me speechless the first time I heard it. A very well done arrange, conserving and strengthening the melancholic feeling the original has, like ZUN says:

"It's a dark song, without any light or bright moments,
despite its quite fast-paced nature.
It could stand to be a little less heavy, as listening
to this piece could drag someone down :)" - Translated by Touhou Wikia

A dark and sad track? Yes, it really does give out a sad feeling, like a lot of other ZUN tracks. Drag me down? No way, of course the song is dark , etc... but I don't actually feel "dragged down" by it.

On a side note the Merlin's Volume 3 has been uploaded for your enjoyment

Forgive these awkward upload times, living on the other side of the globe doesn't help much.

Enjoy this piece of awesomeness, and thank you for watching.
