"I won't arrange a long theme anymore, it tires me out and I'll be completely out the next day."
A few days later...

An arrangement/mash-up of both of Shinki's themes "Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being" from Touhou 5 and "AN ORDEAL FROM GOD" from a Touhou fangame called "Magus in Mystic Geometries".

I am surprised that no one has thought of this yet, unless I haven't looked hard enough.
The themes barely mix together, and am not good enough to make it sound better.
So uh... this arrangement got split into two parts somehow - a calm, lighter part at the start and "All-out Pandemonium Power" at the later parts. I did plan this, but I don't know if it's a good idea.
The plan is basically first loop (no wings) is calm but atmospheric, then when "An Ordeal from God" kicks in is the second part (white wings), finally with her final boss theme returns with full trumpets, is the third part (purple wings). I dunno, but the latter parts emit too much power that it doesn't sound that great anymore. Also I hate that I can't loop it probably at the end there.
Arranging this theme brings immense nostalgia. This is the first Touhou song I chose to arrange. But the arrangement back then sucks lol. It's a good proof of improvement though. Hope all this doesn't make you feel like I'm being too harsh on myself.
Anyway, enjoy the mash-up.
And yes I was inspired a bit by JynX's arrangement, as evidenced by that piano part.
