First things first: Yepp, here goes another arrangement supported by the use of Vocaloid, 'cause I wanted to give my Gijinka Adelina from Harvest Lunatone ( https://www.deviantart.com/harvest-lunatone ) something to do in terms of her job --- aaand of course there was the wish to indulge in that urge for creating a piece of music related to the collab between "Final Fantasy XIV" and "NieR (Automata)". :coughcoughcough:

Speaking of Vocaloid...
I'm not sure, if this was ever mentioned in my artist-comments (for the younger remixes, at least), but the Voicebank used for my ducky is yon of "Aoki Lapis".
-》Though, you may not necessarily recognize her immediately. My preferred GEN-setting for said software is around -20, which came to be due to Lapis sounding with this pitch a lot like Lulu Yurigasaki from "Yurikuma Arashi". And if you haven't guessed it already, said bear-girl was the character I enjoyed the most plus her voice happened to be my favorite of the show.

(Unfortunately, I have lost the original Vocaloid-setting for 'Lulu' thanks to switching PC -- apparently, Voicebanks demand proper installation instead of copy+paste -- and a-short-while-later, having my harddrive go nuts wasn't helpful, either. Thanks to a Windows-Update, which resulted in the legendary error called "Bad System Config", I was forced to start the digital-moving-process all over again.
-》Here a pro-tip: Make sure your C: actually creates these backup-files a ka savepoints, because mentioned error will otherwise make a recovery impossible no matter what you do.)

Uhm, as for my Midi, I used a Kainé-sheet found on YouTube as well as ripped the Opening-theme from FF IV DS; the rest was tinkered with these amateur-ears of mine, so don't expect too much here.
-》Especially when it comes to quirky-me wishing to include the best part of mentioned FF-theme (which isn't in the ingame-arrangement for a reason I fail to grasp), I hope you can show some mercy. Plus, I suppose my creation isn't really matching the minor- / Moll-parts and rather heavily leans towards major /Dur, albeit that's subconsciously intentional as my head interprets Kainé's theme as a hopeful song.

Last but not least, my initial intent for the cover-picture was to draw Adelina daydreaming -- while having a chibi of Her Inflorescence (the final boss of the third NieR-Alliance-Raid in FFXIV) floating in the background.
-》But you know what...? Screw plans, I wanted to have my ducky cosplaying somebody (a ka this time Kainé) again! And what better excuse is there to use, than Adelina's determination to please her clientage? When a customer (breaking the fourth wall, that would be me) asks her to record some chanting for a song as well as help out with the visuals for said track, of course she's happy to help out plus enjoys the opportunity to try a new costume on.

Details:
-Arrangement based on the Sheet "Kainé Salvation" provided by Levia-san ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnwpMCCPdzA ) and the Midi of "Opening" ripped from FF IV DS
