【Touhou AMV】 ZUN+SoundHolic ~ The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky + Mont Saint Michel et Sa baie
A small attempt at making an AMV.
The audio is a mash-up between two versions of "天空の花の都" ["Tenkuu no Hana no Miyako", "The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky"], the Stage 4 theme from "Touhou 7: Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom":
The original WAV audio, composed and arranged by ZUN for "Touhou 7".
"Mont Saint Michel et Sa baie" ["Mount Saint-Michael and Its bay"], the vocal mix of the original song, made by the circle SOUND HOLIC (more specifically, with arrangement & lyrics by "GUCCI" and vocals by "Shihori").
I uploaded the mash-up here: https://soundcloud.com/mashounen2003-952864225/touhou-7-youyoumu-perfect-cherry-blossom-the-capital-city-of-flowers-in-the-sky-zun-sound-holic
As for the video, it's a mix between a replay of Stage 4 of "Touhou 7", which I played through and recorded yesterday, and the 2007 videoclip for "Mont Saint Michel et Sa baie", also made by SOUND HOLIC (more precisely, by the illustrator HONEY BUNNY). The original SOUND HOLIC videoclip can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsgBqHs5OEA
Credits:
Jun'ya Ōta, a.k.a. "ZUN", for the original song and the Touhou game series.
"GUCCI" and "Shihori", from "SOUND HOLIC", for the vocal mix "Mont Saint Michel et Sa baie", originally released as Track 10 of 12 in the album "SOUND HOLIC MEETS TOHO ～東方的幻想四撃蹴～" [Touhouteki Gensou Shigekishuu", "Eastern Illusional Quadruple Tunes"].
Before mixing both songs, on the last few verses/stanzas of "Mont Saint Michel et Sa baie" (the last chorus/refrain and the ending, to be precise), I had to raise it one semitone higher. Both songs go up a few semitones in that section, but the original "The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky" does so a little more than "Mont Saint Michel et Sa baie"; I had to alter the latter's pitch this way so the resulting mash-up doesn't sound off-key.
