Does anyone know where does this song came from?

Direct link, in case the video doesn't appear here:

It's a remix of Reincarnation from the third Touhou game, I know that much. I also know that it's quite possibly the most beautiful music I've ever heard. What I don't know is who made this arrange, what circle he/she/they is/are in, and where was this beauty first heard by the public.

I know the video description said it's made by El Dorado for the album Solaris Lues, but I have Solaris Lues and thsi track is not in it. I've also searched the Touhou Wiki for all songs that El Dorado has arranged, but Reincarnation is not mentioned.

So if anyone have any idea where does this particular arrangement came from, please do tell. I've enabled comment in my Posterous blog, in case you're looking at this from my Blogspot blog.

NaNoWrimo began yesterday

My first day didn't really go as well as I thought. School was murder, didn't even have enough to write five sentences. And by the time I got home, either my brain or my health was acting up again. Icouldn't think properly enough to write.

I did manage to get some words out by night, but they're so horrible I don't think I'll be using them for anything.

Any the story itself was not turning well in my head.

I'm not making any excuse, NaNoWriMo is all about throwing those excuses out of the window, after all. I'm trying to make a decision.

It seems I wil fail at this year's NaNo, again, for... what? Three years in a row? I never have a good commitment with my stories, always ending up with some unfinished excerpt that isn't even halfway there. Except for this one I've been working on but hardly ever written that I started when I was 6 or something, and is still mutating into something larger, they all fail gloriously.

So I suppose all I can do is either pouring way too much love on one story, or simply giving it too little.

Decision reached.

I'm still gonna join NaNoWriMo, but I'm gonna cheat. And I'm not going to call it that, I'm going to call it... actually, I'm not sure I'm going to call it anything, other than that weird alternative to NaNo.

So, the deal is, for 30 days, I'm going to write (preferebly also 30) short stories, with about the same wordcount goal and with the same system as NaNoWriMo. I don't care how many stories I'm going to end up with, or even if they ever reach their conclusion or not, I'm just gonna try it.

And another addition to the rule: They have to take place in the same universe as the three stories that I first planned for the actual NaNoWriMo, including that massive fanfic. Whatever the stories might be, they have to be clearly related to any of these three, whether by taking place in the same time, place, or using the same characters.

Who knows? By December I might already have enough to piece together into a novel.
