RickyRister | Lamentations of a One Off Character ~ Koboreniki Joke (Original) @RickyRister | Uploaded December 2019 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Well, that was a fun song to make. Obligatory “this is quite different from my usual style”, but according to Tres, the bridge sections sound pretty experiemental.
This song was made for Tres’s and Tricky’s OC, Matroyshka Sluprslip, a Vodka Bottle Tsukumogami. She appeared as the final boss of Strange and Wonderful Summer Days, an incident that was run on S&Y. (If you don’t know what any of that means, just assume that SaWSD is a fake fangame.) You can read more about its characters here: docs.google.com/document/d/1vp796GNTJ3PaH--hWkCfoSF9jm1esmCEsTW00dX8cdI/edit?usp=sharing
Matroyshka represents discarded one-off and joke characters. To mirror this, the bridge sections are a jumble of random discarded melodies.
Also, Tres wanted the chorus to sound Russian folk music-y, so I just ripped the chord progression from the Tetris theme and slapped a balalaika on top.
Also, this song loops a lot, because… umm… it represents how the summer festival is being repeated over and over! Yeah, let’s just go with that.
Fun fact: This song was originally made for the passable final bo- wait, the joke doesn’t work for this part.
For anyone wondering what “Koboreniki” means, apparently it’s a nonsense Russian-sounding word that tres came up with that also conveniently means “leftover diary” in Japanese.
“Fun had while composing” rating: 7/10
Special thanks to everyone who donated me the melody dumps that I sifted through to put together the bridge sections.

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:
Taiga Yoryou’s theme.
I wanted to reference the the stage theme to relate the two characters.
Before I knew it, half the song ended up reusing stage theme material.
I’m honestly surprised at how much mileage I managed to get out of a single melody.
(Not complaining, since I was having trouble coming up with stuff)
