Songs performed by Kasumi that were either described but not given music or
lyrics, or made use of already existing music (not my own midi
arrangements).
Kasumi's Introduction
Played at Borland's House, Vlaytok, shortly after meeting the rest of the
party for the first time. Begins with a spoken-word segment where Kasumi
describes a small, helpless fish fascinated with a bloodthirsty shark,
compelled to follow it despite understanding the attraction could be fatal.
Stranger (loosely conceptually based on Goldfrapp - Stranger)
Played in the engine car of the Keizai Princess on Fryderyk's
request. Leaving her shamisen in the passenger car, Kasumi was required to
sing acapella and tried to use the pulse of the engine as a metronome. The
lyrics of the song are rather abstract, but it's clear that they are from
the perspective of a man who has traveled the world searching after a
beautiful stranger he met on a train.
Lucky Strike
An instrumental-only shamisen piece performed by Kasumi while busking on a
street corner in Ranute's Gifts. A blazing fast song with multiple shredding
segments, intended to showcase Kasumi's shamisen mastery. The third string
snapped during the final phrase. Kasumi went on to tell the story of how
this piece was composed, detailing a situation where her then-boyfriend
crawled through her window in the dead of night, petitioning her to work on
a song with him after he "hallucinated an idea" after eating too many bowls
of noodles.
Akai
Hana Shiroi Hana
Played as the final song of Kasumi's performance at the Festival of Apsu. An
adaptation of a famous poem by the apkallu poet Mingyur. The song details
the exchanging of flowers between lovers and all that it implies, and was
used to channel the plant growth spell to cover the stage in
blooms.
Experience
An instrumental-only shamisen piece performed by Kasumi to entertain guests
at Serevey's gala (and provide an adequate distraction for Hozysh to rob the
master bedroom).
