DuckleI've always liked this song, but I came across a really great cover by KOI/Lee Kyung tae (youtu.be/tXdhgoPl_bE) that made me want to arrange it, and I also used that version as my main reference. The instrumentation's pretty simple, just two piano parts and a string pizzicato part that's almost an exact duplicate of the melody and I didn't do anything too crazy. I really enjoyed arranging Blessing, my favorite parts were the bridge sections with "if it were [rock/acapella/game] it would be" and the part right after that with the call/response-esque tune.
However, I've been getting used to doing more highkey arrangements so I kind of forgot about adjusting the volume, I'd recommend watching it at a higher setting :')

my twt: twitter.com/NuRChu4BAE 「G△L△XY∞」 Paradox Live [arrangement]Duckle2023-06-05 | i have been obsessed and started this almost as soon as it released but just now finished it because i fear no man but that thing (arranging paralive) that thing scares me
i still remember listening to galaxy for the first time and immediately loving it but then being super sold on the tritone interval in anne's "express your attitude" line. it could easily be consonant but the dissonance is so poignant i love it so much and i wish i could've done more with it. overall i was really inspired by the chromaticism and put it in a lot more places than in the original, i think it gives what would be a purely celebratory song a strong since of melancholy and hope and goes along with bae and particularly galaxy's theme. looks away for being insane about this silly cheesy song that also happens to have like the silliest mv in all of paralive

I really love it for how minimalistic but danceable and emotional it is, and my 2 favorite zool members' vocals. Things that are really poorly conveyed in this haha. I figured it would be easy to fall into making a close remake of the minimalistic instrumental, so I set out to make it just piano. But I failed at this simple task bc I couldn't help but add the calliope lead oops. I cut the second verse in favor of making a long post-chorus/outro, pushing the limits of how much you can hear the B - G - A - B progression without going insane

my twt: twitter.com/NuRChu4The Eccentric Five -「Eccentric Party Night」 Ensemble Stars!! [piano arrangement]Duckle2022-12-02 | A long time ago I was sad and made the intro and now I decided to complete it yay! I'm super happy with it, and I had the most fun with the last chorus and instrumental break! The improvisations I came up with for those parts came super easily because of how much space this song takes up in my brain it's also been my game bgm for a hot minute now. And ofc unfortunately no notes on a score could compare to the way they say "are you ready for eccentric party/eccentric party night" but I think i did my best
I've always loved Eccentric Party Night so much for how simultaneously uplifting and sentimental it is.... the way this song encapsulates them celebrating being themselves even in death ahhhh. And on that note yoooo the element anime, from that short snippet in the teaser alone I love the vibe change from celebrating their death - celebrating their life/career as oddballs :) can't wait to inject the full song into my veins when it comes out

I used piano, strings, organ, drumset, and choir for like the last 30 seconds. you can tell i started this a year ago because I probably can't be bothered anymore to A) do so many parts and B) make them THAT intricate holy crap there is a lot going on this score I even hid some of the parts for the video. I hope you enjoy nonetheless ~

[arrangement]Duckle2022-10-18 | Happy October! I'm not really a fineP or YuzuruP but this song took over my brain
Instruments are bandoneon, steel guitar (duplicated track with DX7 electric piano), piano, and slap bass. The chorus and other parts are really great, but it was super fun to freestyle the guitar in the instrumental break, and then change the time to 6/8 in the bridge with some tempo changes. It's kind of weird but I wanted to try it and ended up running with it help.
My first paralive arrangement! Where they at is probably one of the songs that got me in here, the ironic to unironic pipeline is too strong... So this song was initially out of my comfort zone, I was frustrated with the static tonality, but the more I tried to make this interesting by improvising the melodies as well as conveying the inflection/flow/delivery, the more fun I had with it. Adding the synth (DX7 electric piano soundfont), slap bass and the simple trap beat helped too. It didn't turn out too bad maybe?
czmz is my favorite character/story-wise (not music-wise 💔) so I'm happy my first paralive arrangement was one of their songs 💖 Hopefully I'll be able to do more in the future even though a lot of paralive songs seem weird to arrange haha

[piano arrangement]Duckle2022-09-26 | I arranged my favorite Knights song and possibly my favorite Enstars song! I started this almost exactly a year ago and gradually added to it. The extended beginning is inspired by the DreamLive version where they all take turns talking for....30 seconds.

Original song: Kiss of Life original composition / arrangement: Yamato (大和)Kirifuda (Trump Card) - cinema staff | Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V OP4 [piano/synth arrangement]Duckle2021-11-01 | So this was super fun to make and I put 200% into this one, only the best for Kirifuda😉This one's extra special to me not only bc it's one of my favorite songs ever, but I made a short (now outdated and bad) arrangement over a year ago, so it was cool coming back to this song and finally making it a full length arrangement!

Original Song: 切り札 ("Trump Card") Performed and composed by: cinema staff Record Label: PONY CANYON Arranged by: Duckle (me)Duel of Rebellion | Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V OST [arrangement]Duckle2021-10-25 | Literally one person asked but I arranged "Duel of Rebellion" from Arc-V for clavichord, lute (yes, the guitar like instrument you hear in bardcore), and piano! Somehow the combination isn't that bad But it was interesting transposing the original brass to the tonally weak clavichord... For real though, this is one of my favorite tracks in all of Yugioh. It has such a powerful drive in that constant riff/ostinato, but the melody is not at all triumphant, rather sorrowful and pained. It's really fitting as the theme of the XYZ duelists! my favorite part is the arpeggios at 1:00 before the break, especially in the second measure. I tried to highlight the D# leading tone you don't hear in the original to make it extra off-kilter and painful sounding :)

Little known fact about me I am a very avid DL player... probably too avid... if you play, have fun during the event! This theme is one of my favorites in DL, I remember listening to it and going insane over it before his roaming event back in April? Everyone say thank you Konami

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Much of my musical background is in classical music, so I had a lot of fun with the waltz style the theme is composed in! Starting 00:15, it follows a very typical waltz format, with the accented 1st beat and 2nd and 3rd light beats in the bass line. But as the song progresses it sort of devolves from the standard waltz. For example, it plays with a duple meter despite being triple meter at parts like at the intermission between the two parts at 00:42 and at the buildup right before the end. Besides all that, there's the chords and chord progressions ! The theme loves its B harmonic minor and there was tons of room for accidentals and slips in the key, letting it sound extra insane. I love the sudden and brief C major at 1:27, a glint of hope before the frenzied buildup to the end. Speaking of the end, I made the last three measures up because obviously in the real one it would go into a loop. It's basic and kind of a cliche but hey it works lol
I would put the credits here but I can't find information on the composer or anything so I will just say this is an arrangement of a song from Yugioh Duel Links which belongs to KonamiYu-Gi-Oh ARC-V ED4 | Speaking - Mrs. GREEN APPLE (piano arrangement)Duckle2021-06-07 | Piano arrangement of the 4th ending of Arc-V that took way too long!

I finished this in October (before I watched Vrains lol) but this is an updated version I’ve had lying around for a while, that I am using Vrains birthday for as an excuse to release from the dungeon. This song is one of my favorites and makes me insanely emo bcos vrains ruined my life anyway I hope you enjoy ^^.
One of the biggest updates I made was on the top part at 00:49, it was formerly generic arpeggios but I changed it to the reference to the beginning because I noticed it in the instrumental that would play in the episode previews. also I added claps :)
Arranged by: Duckle Original song: With the Wind Performed by: Hiroaki "TOMMY" Tominaga and BLUFF Label: MARVELOUS!Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL OP1 - Masterpiece - mihimaru GT [piano/synth arrange]Duckle2021-04-11 | HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY TO ZEXAL!!!!! I made a relatively lowkey 3-part arrangement of the first OP to celebrate! At time of upload I'm only 5/6 of the way through but Zexal already means so much to me and this song already makes me nostalgic... I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
Production notes: In the spirit of Zexal birthday, I tried to represent the other five OPs by sampling two measures of each of their rhythms and sticking them all in a row and in order in the piano countermelody. Starting at 00:57, OP2 is in measures 35-36, OP3 is 37-38, etc. It's super obscure but it's the thought that counts? Also I yoinked the part at 1:16 (measure 47-50) from the full version because i thought it was cool. Finally: *slaps side of masterpiece* this song can hold so much A-flat
Arranged by: Duckle Original song: Masterpiece Performed by: mihimaru GT Composed by: HIKARI, hiroto suzuki and mitsuyuki miyake Arranged by: HIKARI Record Label: Universal J (ユニバーサルJ)Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL OST - Photon Stream of Destruction [arrangement]Duckle2021-04-08 | My version of one my favorite tracks from the Zexal OST, with "whistle," organ, piano, and percussion parts! It notably plays in scenes where Kaito makes a comeback and/or summons neo galaxy-eyes :)
I was nervous that I wouldn't do the song justice because it's hard to make long notes sound good with the soundfonts, also the original has so much energy, I was afraid of being lame in comparison, and tbh it did sound lame at first. But adding the "whistle" and organ (both of which reference/pay tribute to him hehe) really got the ball rolling and I ended up having so much fun with this! I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
Aside from obligatorily liking this track as a Kaito enjoyer™ the piece is actually objectively so neat? My favorite things are the call and response in the beginning between the aggressive treble and the bass line, the persistent repetition in the bass line; the fake 3/4 time at 0:39 which sounds really erratic and uneasy; that fake 3/4 also foreshadows the change to real 3/4 time at 1:16, which has the effect of extra speed and urgency leading to the end .. in that same part not only is the beat dynamic, but also the harmonies/chords: the way the chord progression gradually builds as it repeats, (extra tension points in the way there IS a chord progression after the majority of the song is mostly strictly built off of E minor,) also the first and second chords of the 4 chord phrase being in minor vs the third and fourth being unexpectedly in major is super interesting. The major chords are a hint uplifting/hopeful but at the same time make even more tension because of the way it's just Not part of the base key and I think that's neat.... none of that probably made any sense and sorry to ramble, just know this song is really good so zexal music lovers stay winning :)
