My note:
This was such a difficult composition to make. I had a hard time figuring out the notes from the original, and it took me a lot of time to figure out what goes where and whether if it sounds good enough. Also, since GarageBand doesn’t have a ritardando, It was tough slowing down the part before the crazy piano plays. Instead, it’s just a pause then play. Again, this song is too hard to make… I really hope it’s okay even though it’s not as great as the original. Oh well, what matters is that I managed to finish this one and the effort is all that counts. Lots of drums here that were appropriate to this composition. They are loud, but I think it’s enough to capture the theme and setting of the Remains of Blazing Hell and the Nuclear Furnace. That said, if there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.

Special thanks to Slascoplerd for requesting this song. This one was nominated for the 200 subscriber special, but never won the vote. It was such a challenging composition, but I enjoyed this very much! Kudos to you, Slascoplerd!

Your favorite bird brain’s theme is still in the works right now. I’ll try to get as much done as I can so I can focus on the next few compositions that I want to release. And thus, this marks half of the 500 subscriber specials is done. Only 8 more to go! Up next after Utsuho is dealt with, your favorite wicked hermit, Seiga’s theme will be upcoming! But before that, there are some PC-98 music that I want to release. You’ll find out what it is afterwards!

Stay safe everyone, and take it easy!

(And two dislikes is spotted on my end… to the users who disliked it, any reason why?)
