This album is a remake of the 2010 release En, with the original vocals copypasted over new piano arrangements.
Paprika: Just like with “Tasogare Elegy version”, I hope you will be able to enjoy the different chord progression between this album and “En”.
I’ve always loved listening and making arrangements for songs with completely different chords, so this project was a lot of fun.
Since “Kyouen” is a live classic that is ingrained into my body, it was hard to create a different feeling.
I hope it sounds fresh, though…
“Shitaedo Oitsukanu Tamashii” has a part where the vocals are processed, and I was worried whether I could use it with just the piano, but I thought the final result was quite interesting.
My favorite is “Kasho no Yume”. I love the original song, but I wondered if I was able to put out that kind of speed or energy.
Please try to compare it with “En” while listening!
