RickyRister | A Life that Reeks of Emptiness ~ Soul Stealing Void (Original) @RickyRister | Uploaded January 2019 | Updated October 2024, 19 minutes ago.
Conar approached me to compose a song for his S&Y secret Santa script 5 days before the deadline. I threw this song together in 3 days for him. I’m honestly surprised I even managed to finish in time.
Conar asked for a final boss theme similar to WNSP’s: something containing emotions of sadness, loneliness, and emptiness, and with a mysterious tone. You can clearly hear the influences from WNSP’s final boss theme in here.
Fun fact: Conar never told me who his secret Santa was ahead of time. Guilmon was the last person I excepted a theme like this to be for. The conversation after all the secret Santas were revealed went something like this:
Me: Wait, why did you want me to make an empty sounding theme for Guilmon?
Conar: Because Guilmon is empty on the inside.
Me: But why is the second half of the song so sad?
Conar: Because he’s sad.
Me: By the way, name your freaking song please.
Conar: Soul Seeking Void
Conar: idk
Guilmon: A Life Reek of Emptiness ~ Soul-Stealing Void
Me: …fine (geez, how edgy)
Me: Hey Kuro, on a scale of 1 to an actual vocaloid song, how vocaloid would you rate the end of the climax?
Tokiko: Sorry Ricky you went out of vocaloid and into pokemon mystery dungeon territory
Oh right, the end of the climax is total cheese. I have no idea why I decided to do that other than “because it would be funny.” I guess it gets me one step closer to my goal of wanting my style to end up falling somewhere between 11/文件 and Wanwan, just like how Tokiko’s style falls somewhere between Wanwan and Misora.
Tokiko: am I even that Wanwan
Me: Shut up, Kuro

SttJ got bashed hard when it came out for many reasons, not the least of which was because its music sucked.
Somehow, I’ve managed to find myself as the composer for SttJ, so now I’m slowly working to “fix Sparen’s mistakes” and replace its OST.
I managed to finish 5 songs in time for the first update.
“SeitenTouji 1 - Adamantine Memory Blade is a third person Touhou-style shoot-em-up game featuring an all-male cast in the world of Daiten Daichi. Play as Teiki Tetsurou and discover this unfamiliar world while also perhaps saving its fragile peace in the process.”

Music Room comment:
This is a huge departure from my usual style, huh.
Partly because I was too lazy to change the intro from Sparen’s version.
But when it comes to factory break-ins, who doesn’t instantly think synth & guitar?
At least it’s still got my signature counterpoint at the end.

I rewrote the melody so many freaking times because
I just couldn’t come up with something laid-back.
In the end, the song turned out upbeat instead.
And you know what? It actually fits Teiki better.
