After spending weeks of figuring out what to do for the end of the year until it’s too late to make anything, I already had some plans for what to do for 2026. I plan to remake some of my older mixes, from a time where I was still making music in a creative way, not caring too much about mixing and mastering – which is something I’m struggling with to this day (and it’s not getting better).
The one I was originally going for isn’t quite working out so far though, so we’re starting with something else: A Formidable Foe Emerges – an original tune loosely inspired by the Mini Boss Theme from Super Paper Mario, originally made for an animated series by TamagoSoup as a kind of boss/mini boss theme a bunch of years ago.
The song now has one loop in it, and a different bridge that connects the loops, alongside some instrumental adjustments compared to the original. Here it is:
And here’s a video for it, featuring my avatar Joe by TamagoSoup which you’ve seen as my logo for many years now:
I’d love to remake some songs from my Touhou Remix Projects, but so far I’ve been struggling a lot to update them while keeping their original essence – it feels like they lose their charm in the progress. I’ll just have to keep trying I guess…
