During the time I made this mashup I wanted to try other things besides mashing Senran Kagura with Linkin Park and the fact that Shinovi Versus was a different timeline (it was pretty much confirmed at the time I made this one) was the perfect reason to try something new. I already did that before, but this is not the place to talk about it (wait until we reach the Estival Versus for that one).
Senran Kagura has always been influenced by shonen manga and its way of telling a story, but some series in particular obviously influenced more than others. One of them was Naruto, and that was a great excuse to make a mashup with it.
By the time I was looking for ideas for new SK mashups there was a particular music from Naruto Shippuden that grew a lot on me: Silhouette. Unfortunately there wasn't a way to get the original vocals, but luck was on my side and I found a great cover by Raon Lee of the song. Her female voice helped to create a stronger relation with Resolution of Blooms (especially because to this day there is no Senran Kagura theme sung by a male).
Transposing was a small issue I had with this mashup during the process, but I managed to get it right. I tried transposing the instrumental first (to keep the singer's voice intact), but it sounded like complete garbage when I did that. Thankfully changing the singer's pitch a little bit didn't harm her performance at all and we got this as a result.
This mashup wouldn't be possible without Raon Lee's performance and Kotosergio's instrumental! Both are great artists! Check them out:
