【連縁 Project Piano Medley】

Uh, happy 7th Len'en Anniversary everyone! (yes I know today's the 10th but it's already the 11th in Japan because of time zones and I don't wanna wait longer) This is what I've been working on nonstop for the past few months. I knew way back around the beginning-ish of the year that I would have to think of something to do for the anniversary ahead of time, so I would have time to do whatever it ended up being even if it was something small, but what ended up happening was that at the beginning of August I randomly had the idea of "What if I made a big piano medley :D " and so many, many hours of hard work and anxiety later, here we are!
First of all, I mentioned it during the credits but I'm gonna say it here too for emphasis, a lot of what you hear especially in the latter half was rather directly transcribed from 左城宮072, so please, please be good lads and go give his channel love! He does absolutely amazing piano covers of both Touhou and Len'en songs and he's super underrated! He's way, WAY more talented and skilled than I am and I can't emphasize enough how much he deserves the credit.

Um, so this was extremely difficult to make. Even up to the very end when I was just trying to export the video I kept having this issue with the audio where the volume would keep fluctuating for some reason (which I was able to mostly fix by making it a bit quieter, but now it's a bit quieter so you might wanna turn it up a smidge). I've put so much of myself and my time into this, and yet I can't help but be a little disappointed with the final result. I mean, there's quite a few parts that I like and I'm proud of and I don't think it's bad or was a waste of my time by any means, but it's just not really what I was hoping for when I set out to make this. I don't really have any prior experience with making these sort of arranges and my music theory knowledge is actually pretty limited, so it's kind of rough around the edges, but I tried my best and I think that's what counts. I really only wish I had tried harder to include more songs. 32... that's like nothing lol (also my Eternal Dance Engine sucks, please forgive me Tsurubami).
And naturally, all that moping and negative stuff is why I'm totally going to try make a second one sometime ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Now, don't get your hopes up too high because I have no idea when that'll even BE. I'm thinking either next year or the year after depending on how I'm feeling, and it's also entirely possible I could accidently get hit by a car or something anytime between then and now (please don't run me over btw I want to live and make Len'en content) but it is something I (currently) really want to do sometime. I had sooo many ideas for this medley that didn't end up making the cut, and there's also a bajillion songs missing here. Of course, before making another one of these it'd be nice to git gud™ and actually learn how to do music things, so there's that as well.
For now though, I think I'm going to take a little break and then go back to doing smaller stuff. I'll still be doing MuseScore videos because those are a lot of fun, but sometime soon-ish I'd like to get FLstudio so I can hopefully make more Len'en arranges and figure out what I'm doing. And for the 7 of you who care about my vocaloid stuff, don't worry because I'll still be doing that occasionally too. I might not upload as often as I did before just so if I disappear for a few months again I have still have something to show so you know I'm not dead, but maybe not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Speaking of MuseScore, since I made this in MuseScore instead of using literally anything else like a sane person probably would, I've got sheet music for any masochists who want to try playing this, albeit very messy sheet music since this was primarily intended for listening purposes. Also I'm tired from writing this for the past 2 hours and don't feel like uploading it on Musescore rn, so I'll do that like tomorrow or something.
Edit: here it is musescore.com/...
Also! I was super nervous about using other people's art (even though my sister told me multiple times not to worry about it too much) and I tried my best to credit everyone properly, but if I got anything wrong or if you're one of the artists and you're reading this and can understand english and would rather not have your art in a random youtube video, please let me know so I can work something out!!
I think that's everything. Thank you all for putting up with me, I hope you have a wonderful day!
