Atsushi Kitajoh: Rosalia's GUILT

A nice contemplative piece from the acclaimed, addictive, absolutely INFURIATING Trauma Team games. This piece is so beautiful, I almost feel bad for ruining it with this Spongebob quote:

Let's hope Rosalia pulls through.

Song Score: Matthew VIIII.27/10

--so anyways want me to talk about the best battle theme ever:

So, Tokyo Mono Hara Shi. As seen from these screenshots, it's a Visual Novel/DRPG hybrid for the PSP and from the same team as Kowloon High-school Chronicle.

I've mentioned Kowloon before (it's a cool game and you should play it). So, I figured I'd look for more info about it and the rest of the Tokyo Majin Gakuen franchise - given there is very little info about it in English.

Instead, I found out about Kowloon's "successor" on the PSP. As you might have figured it out, the setting is based mostly on traditional Japan, replacing Kowloon's more western, Indiana Jones-inspired atmosphere.

And while this is usually the point I complain that there is yet another DRPG without an English translation, the good news is that at least the story has been translated. Mostly.

Someone out there made a full Let's Play with English subs, which extends to most dialogue, enemy descriptions and locations.

So, it's fine if you're interested in the story. I am interested in the story myself. As I am interested in the gameplay, dungeon design, character interactions, music...

AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

oh my god it's INCREDIBLE

Persona 3 Reload of course introduced a new 'player advantage' battle theme for the male protagonist. I had the idea to do a 'P3R' style arrangement of Pull the Trigger from Persona Q2, since FeMC deserves two battle themes too. The problem is, the original version of Pull the Trigger doesn't sound much like a Persona 3 song! It's a very different style of music. So I wondered, is it possible to make a new arrangement of Pull the Trigger that was more fitting as a Persona 3 battle theme?

Original song by Atsushi Kitajoh/Atlus from Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. Guitar/bass/arrangement/production by me.

[A mysterious video is uploaded on Blackthorn's account. No metadata exists to determine who, how, or why it was posted…]

A calm moonlight shines through the window. It shines on Den, Saffron, Fuchsia, and Cerulean, sleeping like a pile of kittens, barely distinguishable as separate beings.

A few minutes pass. Then a shadow dims the moonlight for a moment, and Den awakens. She gets up, careful not to wake the others, trying to give them just a little extra sleep. Eventually - gently, subconsciously - she starts to sing.

A second set of voices joins her for a duet - Saffron, Fuchsia, and Cerulean, the Pixies singing in harmony, simultaneously one voice yet three.

As they sing, it seems that the world has stopped around them. Not in the sense of a dark future, but in the sense of a moment of peace forever fixed in time.

A subtle glow surrounds each of the Pixies as the song continues, growing stronger, in the colour of their name. In the same time, Den seems to radiate a shadow - one of calm, as the empty night sky waiting to be filled with stars.

Before, as the song comes to its end, 'Arigato to...~' The glow blinds the camera with white for a moment, before it fades. The moon is shaded by clouds; the only light now comes from three floating wisps - one gold, one pink, one blue - and Den's red eyes shining in the darkness.

The wisps start to circle her. Faster, faster, spiralling inwards, until - a glow forms around her head. She closes her eyes, the glow fades into shadows.

The moonlight returns.

Revealing Den---revealing Blackthorn. Clearly tired, clearly damaged - clearly whole, as much as she can be. She stumbles blearily over to the bed, collapsing onto it. The only sound, her steady heartbeat.

And a trio of familiar voices singing her to sleep.

//ooc under the cut

//picrew source

and that's the end of this... pseudo-arc? i'm not sure what to call it still, but. the intro post will be updated at... some point. not sure when. but it needs a pretty big go-over anyway, so.

so what happens now? technically, blackthorn refers to the four of them, whereas den refers to den herself. in their whole state though, the two are pretty much interchangeable - as such blackthorn is simultaneously one person and four. self-reference-wise - she'll mostly use i/me, though depending on the context may switch to we/us. likewise, referring to saffron/fuchsia/cerulean will use he/she/they respectively. any pronouns are okay for any of them, though, as ever - she'll particularly be aware of plural they as an option depending on context.

while i'm noting this as it's what i use currently and thus what blackthorn will eventually stick to - she's got to work out how to communicate with the pixies first..... so do i, for that matter. it'll be easier for her though. as a bonus, the pixies also get a headspace (which i don't think i have) so i can keep making picrews of them. the irl equivalents just roll around my brain like when you have pokemon-amie on the bottom screen and get on the bike. i mean what :v

i appreciate everyone who's interacted in any way - in terms of me working out stuff irl i consider it a success also. thank you. i want to special thanks to spritemod and indigomod - while i know it wasn't intended, the timing of the runaway arc and such (even though i blocked a lot of it) really helped me with some particular cases in a safe environment, which otherwise i might not have gotten for a while. so that's a bonus.

probably when i update the intro post i'll also make a list of links to all the big major writing of this semi-arc. that might take a bit but i hope to have it done by the end of the weekend.

as for now? blackthorn's just doing her thing. helping people out, posting memes and stupid jokes... just with a little more understanding of what's going on behind the mask. (and a clearly totally valid excuse of 'no i don't have a soft side. that's just fuchsia')

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

Ok we need some P3R salt. I have a complaint about the music!

I........don't think (some of them) are mixed very well. I have a very hard time hearing the singers at times. ;w;

Esp Lotus Juice! TT0TT Like It's Going Down???? I dunno what the fuck he is saying he's like whispering. TT0TT But like....I hate it, I can't understand you. Before it was just pronunciation, but like I can vibe to random vocal sounds in all honesty (like literally gibberish or just silly chicken clucking I'm not that bothered on pronunciation all that much just make it *~vibe~*!), but I CAN'T vibe to NOT HEARING THE DAMN SOUNDS! I can't vibe to the singing if I can't hear it (at least I could hear the Engrish before, and that engrish was a bop!). And I thought it was maybe just the trailers but.....it looks like it's just the final version and ngl I might lose it. TT0TT

I kinda wonder if it's just a style of Atsushi Kitajoh??? Cause I've noticed PQ(1) sometimes does this (esp with LJ) and I'm like????? Why is it so soft???? TT0TT

I hope it's just the versions I'm listening to, but I'm pretty sure I'm listening to the finalized versions now and......it's been bothering me. TT0TT

So, been playing a lot of Valkyria Chronicles 3 recently as Valkyria Chronicles is another franchise besides Star Wars and Trauma Center I've fallen in love with, and just I've had the idea of trying to mix Valkyria Chronicles music with Trauma Center/ Trauma Team music, using UTK 2 Chapter 4 Episode 8, since UTK 2 gets a lot of flak for lack of music variety, just to see how well it blends together via Drastic DS emulator recorded on my tablet via screen recorder.

I felt Desperate Plea fit the mood for the Valkyria Chronicles music used, given the heart to heart shared, between Angie and Derek, but see what you think.

As for the OST I used in this edit, it's from the first Valkyria Chronicles game called Empty Loneliness by Hitoshi Sakimoto, followed by Trauma Team's Guns and Knives composed by Atsushi Kitajoh and Ryota Kozuka.

I might start doing some Valkyria Chronicles stuff on here, but I'll see.
