This version was arranged the week after "Dino," in mid-November 2014.
I consider the final version of "Blueberry Chill" a personal achievement so to be able to have an earlier version that sounds so different is a real treat for me. Usually the basic song ideas are fleshed out right away but as you can see here I ended up putting a lot more work into the final version. I don't think I came back to work on this song until after the release of TRUESTAR EP in December.
The song basically started from the intro rhythm guitar riff, but you can hear in this version the lead guitar during the intro was more complex. The "chorus" is 10 gorillian times longer, as well, and the lead guitar (which uses the source tune) wasn't arranged yet. I'm glad that part was cut shorter. But for the most part, the song structure is finished. The decision to use trumpet didn't come until after TRUESTAR EP.
Funnily enough, I hadn't come up with lyrics or vocal melodies at this point, which, in the final version, is where most of the actual source tune is. So this version has very little (if any) of the Touhou source in it. Oddly, I hadn't come up with a song title for this song at this point, which leads me to believe I was possibly thinking of scrapping it. This is why I submitted it to Weekly Beats as "masterspark.wav."
if you listened to my music just because it's touhou arrangement but actually like the sound and want to listen to other bands like it than start with this one Find Your Way
