RickyRister | From the Bottom (Original) @RickyRister | Uploaded August 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
So, back when the demo for UotAR had just been released, I was digging through Akakyu’s channel when I stumbled across an old comment chain on his first video (youtu.be/oRaUmkzC1Lg). I love how humbling that comment chain is in hindsight. He started from the bottom, with little skill, yet after all this time, he worked his way up and managed to make his game into a real thing. Inspired, I immediately set forth to make a song based on that concept.
…Then I come back and learn that Aka isn’t the jack of all trades, prodigy of ZUN that I thought he was. Well whatever, I was already halfway done with the song, so I might as well go through with it. And plus, you know what other fangame also began development in late 2016? UNL (hahahahaha… *sobs*). So yeah, this song is dedicated to Akakyu and his gang for putting in the work and dedication to turn UotAR into a real game instead of leaving it as just a bunch of random originals on Youtube (which, funnily enough, is the stage that UNL currently (and for the foreseeable future, permanently) is at. (hahahahaha… *sobs*))
In case you can't tell what the title has to do with the song, here's a hint: Pay attention to the structure of the song and how the each melody gets reused.
“Fun had while composing” rating: 7.5/10
“Fun had while video editing” rating: 10/10 (hooray for video editors that actually work properly!)

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:
Taro Oshisou’s theme.
My songs usually have a predictable structure.
But this one is almost unchanged from the improv.
I guess this is the sort of chaos you can only get
by sitting at a keyboard and just playing.
