Tried my best to make it sound different while giving off the same feeling (?)
My insecurity is kicking in and I already hate how this sounds. Hopefully that will get better.
Anyway, I stumbled across Kanoguti while looking up weird Japanese horror games. His songs have a certain charm to it, and soon I found myself listening through his videos. "Snails", in my opinion, feels distinct from his other works, being that it notably has a comprehensable melody, something that is not common for Kanoguti.
The song is mainly in 3/4, but towards the end there's that one part where it is 4/4 and to be honest it's kinda out-of-place.
And yes I drew the picture. I was trying to draw a snail but got something else.

![[Lenen Arrangement] PLAY the GAME](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KbStA-J32Zo/hqdefault.jpg "[Lenen Arrangement] PLAY the GAME
An arrangement of Daijins theme SAVE the GAME from Emergency Everyday.
Since old EE is also considered a Lenen game, I put Lenen in the title.
This is something completely different.
This theme is even more chaotic than Tsurubamis. Even Daijin himself said, quote on quote:
This is Daijin’s theme.
This person’s a game freak—a true gamer. His theme’s a bit weird.
On the whole, if you take its shadiness out of the mix, the theme isn’t consistent at all and its hook is weird.
Still, doesn’t that mean this theme matches its character perfectly?
Based on the story, its implied that the Daijin in the gameplay video isnt the real one.
Again, its the basis for the new EE, of course the story would be similar.
Arranging this theme was both fun and frustrating actually. The fact that most of the melody are simple somehow turns me off. However, that one part was fun and chaotic as hell (although it took me longer to get the melody ri- no, it wasnt very accurate, but gave a similar chaotic feeling anyway).
It was kinda difficult to hear everything in that gameplay video though. Im impressed at myself for being able to complete this.
Emergency Everyday belongs to Daijin.
The drawing is drawn by... surprise... surprise... ME! There isnt many fan-arts of the old EE, so I gave it a try. It doesnt look very nice though...

Im starting to see that the story might be a bit more light-hearted than what you would expect from an RPG Maker game.
Okay, seriously, these guys are very bad at defending themselves. Why sticking to that one statement which gives you the biggest disadvantage? I would dismiss the statement at that instance if I were them.

How should I say... Im writing this having played through the Main Game (shouldnt have done that), so my opinions are quite different now.
I do recall still suspecting Joe though. Reasons why, the Main Game almost laid it all out.
Thats all.
Oh and of course Nao has some character development after her professors death.
That new guy... His styles just like Reko, isnt it? Just more colorful.

Its still easy as heck, even when it lags like hell.
Yep, I record this while playing. Whenever the recording lags, the game lags too.
My reading speed might be a little bit too fast, but Ill read slower in the next story.
Marisa/Koishi team is just hilarious. Did Koishi possess Marisa on a whim or something? Seems like they could swap the Master/Slave role. Also Koishis Is it because you have no friends? made me laugh so hard that I was on the ground for a few seconds. Poor Yukari though, her spell card is pretty pathetic.
Ending summary: Marisa realized shes been attacking Koishi, and Shion is currently her slave. In the end, she proceeded to get mugged. Marisa and Koishi never stood a chance.

![[RSS Arrangement] The Princess who was Erased from History](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/M133EXGUUQk/hqdefault.jpg "[RSS Arrangement] The Princess who was Erased from History
Composed by Wanwan.
Arranged by Mono Chrome.

https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/44371559
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/80527504
Wanwans comment on this song is that it has a somber yet childish sound to it which is frankly what I also feel about it. Initially, I was going for the sad, melancholic theming, but decided against it because the original song already filled that theme. So I decided to make it like an epic battle theme, while also retaining some child-like and sadness.
And like Wanwan, I dont have the biwa sound. Even worse, I dont have the shou (a traditional Japanese reed instrument) that Wanwan used in this song. So I improvised with church organ (?)
I was already aware that this song is hard to arrange, but when I got into making this, it was WAY WAY harder than my expectations. This single arrange is actually two (best?) attempts merged into one. Go figure.
I will now undergo the usual hating-on-my-new-work phase. That feeling of could have made it better is already creeping in.
Will I finish the Tougenkyuu trio? Yes. Princess Peach is up on the list.")
![[No Commentary] Witchs Heart - Part 5 (Ashes Scenerio)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MG6WyeyOEsw/hqdefault.jpg "[No Commentary] Witchs Heart - Part 5 (Ashes Scenerio)
While playing up in the mountains, Claire Elford finds herself taking shelter from the rain in a mansion.
Soon, she finds four other people, some bizarre monsters - and no way back out.
In the company of demons, the five must figure out how to escape...
and solve the mystery of the legendary wish-granting treasure, the Witchs Heart.
Witchs Heart is an adventure game by IZ (BLUE STAR Entertainment) made in RPG Maker 2000.
WARNING: This game is rated R-15. You should be at minimum 15 years old. There is considerable gory content (both illustrated and sprited), as well as some dark themes in general.
Our old man Sirius is dead. Hes most likely killed. By a human.
He was killed with possibly a knife.
In this monster-swarmed mansion... which of the residents is the true culprit.
Heres my theory.
First. A knife was used to kill Sirius. This points straight to Ashe being the killer, or someone just did this to lead suspicions to him. Then heres another question. Wheres the true murder weapon? The one in the kitchen? The one Ashe has? The one someone secretly brings with them? If the true culprit tried to pin this on Ashe, theres no need to retrieve the weapon. Unless its their knife, or its Ashe himself. Wilardo uses a gun, so if he had used a knife to try pinning on Ashe, he wouldnt take the knife with him.
Second. The motive. Noel might have a strong motive, explained by the newspaper article. Noel even once mentioned that Sirius might have a grudge against him, suggesting about it. You might think that only Noels motive was known, but theres actually someone who had a motive too. Ashe. At the storytelling gathering, Sirius attacked Ashe, and broke quite a few rules Ashe gave before. It could have messed up something Ashe has prepared for. Therefore, 2 people have motives.
Third. The opportunity. Pretty much everyone. At night, everyone could roam free. And the meeting between Sirius, Claire and Noel seemed to calm him down a bit, so even Ashe, if he apologized, could be let in. Wilardo is similar.
Fourth. Did a struggle happen? Im afraid not. The blood didnt splattered in such a mess that could be considered as messy. Therefore, death must be instantanous. To think, he has a large wound on his neck. Either the murderer attacked from behind or just downright get overpowered. Or hes consent to it.
The fact that Claire had to break the door down to get inside might give you somewhat an impression of a locked-room. But think about it. The keys arent found on Sirius either, so the murderer must have taken it with them and dispose of it.
And heres some feeling-biased predictions: Ashe is portrayed as a very nice person here, and I think it has a purpose to it.
He might have killed Sirius.
He woke up sooner than anybody else on the day of the murder for some reason. He actively assisted Claire in her search for the Witchs Heart even though he wont get anything other than a look from it. And... he might have asked Sirius about the Witchs Heart. Which I dont think he would stop after asking one question. Hes also curious about whats on the upper floor, perhaps? Anyway, he also knew about Noel disappearing at day beforehand, as shown by a scene, its possible that he used that fact to blame Noel.
Welp, thats my theory anyway. Hope Ashe isnt the killer and still stays a cinnamon bun.
Or at least a strawberry-jammed mint shortcake!
Haha.
Note that this is a blind run. I intend to do it blind first, so dont get mad if I miss something. Ill come back later to get all the endings though.

Potential SPOILERS below.
Eeh. Not sure what to talk about in this part. Mostly because too muchs happening.
Sou was faking it the whole time, as expected. But that scene lets us know a bit more about his intentions. He has good intentions, and tries to save the group behind his lies. He suspects Sara due to how she gets along with everyone too easily. There we go, at least we players can understand the reason for his actions now. The cast doesnt know yet though.
Reko will never get along with her brother ever again. Im a bit surprised, actually. Usually these games will just allow them to reconcile... not this one though. But by doing this, we could see that Rekos in a lot of pain trying to forget about her brother. She wouldnt toss the bongos out, and most notably maintaining it all the while.
I still somewhat believe in Keiji. I know hes hiding a lot from everyone, but I feel like the things hes hiding are more personal - the memories that he just wants to forget.
That victim video though... Oh boy. Keiji, you better have a real good reason for this.
Safalin... was getting carried away for a moment there. I know that these dolls arent good news, but Safalin is the first one that doesnt spit in your face.
I feel like using that device too many times could lead to something bad. Really want to try that out.
I may put it in the next video.")

I might have had things I want to say, but I kinda forgot cuz playing through this all in one sitting is really daunting. I need to have that Lantern in real life. Ugh, I gotta record Alice/Shin route too...
Okay... Ive jogged my mind a bit but I decided not to say anything outside of hints for the puzzles.
Spoilers of course.
If you want to solve them yourself then please quickly ignore the following part of the description.
Be mindful that taking too long in these puzzles (doing unnecessary things) may result in severe consequences.
Okay, here we go.
First Maple battle:
If Maple is angry, use Ranmaru as decoy. When Maple isnt angry, use Sara to call for help. Next part is similar, but you have to push the correct button corresponding to her current emotion (refer to the green books to know which color is which emotion).
Next part, first have Mai read the letter. Then use characters according to her current emotion.
Angry - Reko/Alice or Q-Taro
Sad - Ranmaru then Kanna/Sou (accept handkerchief first)
Happy - Hinako or Kurumada or Kanna/Sou (if offered handkerchief)
Reconcile with Anzu or Sara after doing 3 correct actions (60% full)
Locker Room:
Use Lantern to see the drawings on the lockers. They represent the rooms of 4F and 5F. Put the items corresponding to the rooms to the correct locker. The items falling out are random, but there always will be items needed to be put in the lockers among them. Id advise taking a picture of the lockers under Lantern vision beforehand so you know which locker is which (because you cant see them when theyre open).
Conduit Puzzle:
Before anything else, dont ask Midori to reset your charge at the beginning unless you like things harder. Most of the time have Ranmaru collects charges. When someone other than him is at red (3 charges), reset their charge by preferrably selecting the one with the least charge in the group.
Second Maple Battle:
Preferrably, dont select options that destroy the monitors. Use the right people for the correct AI:
Angry AI - Q-Taro, Reko/Alice
Sneering AI - Hinako, Reko/Alice
Sorrowful AI - Q-Taro, Kanna/Sou
Frightened AI - Hinako, Kanna/Sou
Gin works for all but only once.")

Arranging this theme is like a cooldown really. But I found myself really enjoy doing it. Guess I should arrange shorter themes more often.
So yeah, the theme has odd chord progressions, but its easy to get a hold of the overall feeling. I didnt add any trumpets because I think this theme shouldnt have a grand, powerful feeling that trumpets bring. I replace them with guitars instead, hope it works out.
And the notes at the start arent supposed to be there, since the reversed melody is actually audio files, not notes. I put it there while converting it to MIDI.
