To Yasunori Mitsuda

I just wanted to spend some time wishing Mr. Yasunori Mitsuda a very happy birthday.

This took me a long time to create. It started with me remaking "To Good Friends" completely (which wasn't hard since I just adapted my new version from an older video).

The hard part was getting the song "Happy Birthday" to merge with it convincingly enough. In the end, I still wish I had more time to work on it, but Mr. Mitsuda's birthday is on January 21st, which is tomorrow in Japan. Plus my work schedule is bad this week. I will present this to him tomorrow.

If you're wondering, the SNES/Super Famicom echoing/reverb was simulated with a regular delay plugin. I also added a reverb plugin to give it a bit more atmosphere.

This is for you, Mr. Mitsuda. You are one of a kind.

UPDATE: Overwhelming response! Thank you everyone! Mr. Mitsuda did see it and he liked it! I'm not sure why there's random noise in the background (I believe Cakewalk was glitching out when I exported. I regret not taking extra time before I presented it to him now.. Oh well). so here's the MP3 link which is way cleaner:
