Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17 [東方/ Cumbia Amazonica/ Touhou] (Meiling’s theme)

This arrangement has been in my radar for like more than a year by now surely. There is this one song called mi cariñito by Sonido 2000 which is very fascinating because decades before ZUN made meiling’s theme, to where the melody is eerily similar. That was always going to be the basis of this arrangement, and so I went in further by playing with the chord progression as much as I did this time around. It’s definitely quite satisfactory to have finally completed this as I have been wanting to for a long time.

As for the art, I based off that one album cover by los mirlos that had nature blend in with the shirts of the musicians like an optical illusion. I tried to do the same here hence why meiling and the background leafs are blended together in that sense.

As I had expected my previous video which was a nintendo medley on salsa styles didn’t do so well. If you’re happening to read this far, perhaps such a video might interest you or not, but it is there on my channel.
