Blue Archive - Themes 88 & 89 // Reaction & Analysis

[@GameFanaticBR]

The songs weren't really made for the chinese new year, I just used the festivities as a reason to react to some of the china-inspired school's OSTs Leaving the other songs below: OST 161 (Oriental Bounce) from the event "Dragon & Tortoise" OST 224 (Flip Flap Festival!) from the event "Descent of the Five Senses" OST 223 (Scarlet Crysanthemum) from the event "Moonlight Dream" [this theme and event involves both Shanhaijing and Red Winter, so expect it to be way different]

But still, Chinese new year coming in this end of month. Please do this one first.

the second song, dragon express, is a omage for a very old-school countryside park fair small scale rollercoaster in south korea called "blue dragon train" 청룡열차. It is usually ment for kids, since it's speed and g-force is on relativly low side. (goes up and down usually within 5 meters of height)

These themes were used for the first event showcasing the China-based school, Shanhaijing. If you want to hear the theme for the follow-up event, it's OST 161 - Oriental Bounce. Edit: mixed 161 and 160. 160 was Noble Hallway and you've done that one already.

Hello, I really like your analysis over BA soundtracks. I would like to hear more, specifically on OST 226 (by 7mai, guest composer) and OST 236 (by KARUT). Both of them is an event soundtracks, where OST 226 is about making Idol group and OST 236 is about pajama party + game of tag. I would also hope you can give brief correlation for the soundtracks with the event situation I explain before (eg. how this instrument is very fitting with the situation, or how the way they do 'this' is really fitting, etc etc)

I'd like for you to react to OST 189 - BlueMark Canvas. You've already reacted to other songs from this event this is the only one left. I commented this the last time as well. Also love when you talk about things

Pentatonics? Like the band?

It's a traditional scale from Eastern Asia, with 5 notes per octave instead of 7. I think the group took the name from there.
