[Len'en-style (?)] The Kingdom of Chances and Calculations ~ All Work, All Play
117Japanese title: 確率と算定の王国 ～ All Work, All Play
So I've decided to start uploading my original compositions (and possibly arrangements, if I end up writing any) to my YouTube channel -- with the exception of my older stuff, of course, which includes most of the things on my MQube (https://mqube.net/user/popfan). Figure it'd be more accessible and eye-catching that way. Let's hope I'm not wrong.
Anyway, this theme... I wrote it for Sakana's and Umbra's sibling pair of Len'en OCs, Katsumi and Itari Akai, in order to return the favor the former of the two did me by providing character art for my "Re: Emergency everyday" project. This theme was eventually used in a boss fight script made in Danmakufu, which you can download here: http://www.bulletforge.org/u/umbra/p/lenen-ocs-brother-team
It was supposed to be in Len'en style, but I kind of gave up on that and just composed it in my own style instead... which ended up sounding like Len'en, anyway, at least according to some people who listened to it while it was still in the making.

Katsumi's and Itari's theme.
This is the first time I've composed an original theme for someone else. All in all, it's not so different from composing for myself. I just need to learn about characters that aren't my own.
The two seem to have a chaotic but ultimately synergetic relationship, so I tried reflecting that in writing two different melodies that still sound good when overlapped with each other.
Which melody is Katsumi and which melody is Itari? I won't tell, but it should be pretty obvious.
