Hello!! I very rarely use my Tumblr to actually talk about my work, but I figured it was time to make a new pinned post and maybe do a little self plugging.

the samurai always wins is such a great song from the pw musical project / turnabout musical / taaam
It was literally the perfect ace attorney musical song
It adapted the game music perfectly
It perfectly portrayed Cody’s testimony and how silly it was but also in such a realistic way of how a kid would actually give testimony (what I saw that day was a grim display an evil man’s demise, and I stood nearby as the samurai shot lasers from his eyes!)
It perfectly portrayed Phoenix trying to be gentle and not badger Cody because he’s a kid (I’m trying to keep the steel samurai out of jail, please if you could try to go into more detail..)
but then giving up because it was so ridiculous (for what it’s worth no way on earth did Cody see this crime! WITNESS TESTIFY! This is the last time!! to the actual tune of the game music which gives me CHILLS it’s my favourite line in the song)
It perfect portrayed Edgeworth backing his own witness and his snide comments about Phoenix’s court tactics of over-pressing rather than admit that Cody is speaking rubbish (Wright the truth is this fragile youth is sure of this ruthless attack, SO STOP pressing him hoping that he’ll crack! - again to the actual tune of the game music)
It perfectly portrays the back and forth between defence and prosecution and an unruly witness is the middle, Phoenix pointing out contradictions, the judge not being in control and Edgeworth gets a sneaky line at the end referencing the elementary school trial (Wright don’t bluff that’s quite enough now cease this reprimand - Objection! - a small child alone in court you cannot understand.)
Not to mention THE RISING KEY CHANGES AT THE END and the way they’re all singing in overlapping polyphony with more and more characters gives the perfect depiction of the whole trial just being crazy out of control - plus when it’s just Phoenix and edgeworth singing over each other it gives major confrontation from les mis vibes whicH IS EXACTLY what it should be like
The whole song is just the perfect spirit of the ace attorney games and particularly that case- I love it so so much
when they wrote turnabout an ace attorney musical did they write it with the intention of it looping in my head for the rest of my life bc that is in fact the result of me listening to it
I think my favorite tracks are august day, decree of the prosecutor, or it was me(who killed gregory edgeworth),,, though tbh it is veryvery hard for me to pick a favorite when they're all so catchy I am mentally ill to the highest degree (like ANY song mia sings is NMMRMRMRMRRRGGFRREERREEEEEERRRR yaknow??)
also miles' lines are the most firmly in my vocal range so I am currently obsessed with singing his songs in my best miles voice it gives me such gender euphoria that it should be illegal
when they wrote the line "SO WILL THIS PHOENIX TAKE FLIGHT, OFF THE GROUND, I'LL SOAR WITH GLORY, MY STORY WILL BE RENOWNED!! " I think I actually collapsed and started convulsing on the ground they did not have to go so hard with that these lyrics hit SO hard
Since Turnabout: An Ace Attorney Musical is finally out in its entirety, I can finally post this! I drew this for one of the final scenes of Act II and I am very proud of how it came out.
