So in celebration of my latest av/sig combo, let's have a Chen track!



Pretty much the perfect remix for Chen's theme, Withered Leaf. Uplifting and kinda jazzy with that swing beat. I generally avoid the rock and metal touhou remixes, most of them just kinda blend together or have really unappealing vocalists. I actually enjoy the guitar work in this track though, it's just laid back enough that it blends in with synth and bass real well; doesn't feel like ...

Been a while since I updated but I've been busy. Back with a great vocal track sung by nomico and arranged by Minoshima of Alstroemeria Records. The original version is from the fourth touhou title, Lotus Land Story back on PC-98, and was the second danmaku title. This video includes a variety of girls from across numerous touhou titles, and the lyrics and song fit quite well for the featured youkai and humans alike.

It's a pretty huge departure ...

In tribute to our current seasonal youkai, Letty Whiterock, I decided to post a version of Crystallized Silver. We had quite the warm snap today, with it reaching into the 70s. I'm sure Letty wasn't too happy about it. Despite being a stage 1 boss, I'm quite fond of her theme as it's from my first touhou game and one of my favorite touhou games to this day, Perfect Cherry Blossom.

The usual blaring ZUN trumpets and organ have been replaced with an electric ...

Tewi's theme tonight:



The trickster rabbit youkai, Tewi Inaba. Her original theme is rather upbeat track with a regular triplet theme found throughout that accentuates the playfulness of her character. Being only a midboss in Imperishable Night, it feels like a fitting style and is one mirrored in many of the fairy midboss themes.

Diverse System's acoustic rendition of the song gives it a much more somber and sad tone, having slowed it down ...

Probably just gonna use this blog to keep track of touhou music I enjoy :D

Yay, such a nice jazzy track! It has a lounge music sort of atmosphere with how laid back it sounds and the vocalists style. I think it's using a bossa nova beat, or some samba derivative. While I'd definitely enjoy it as an instrumental piece, with such pretty piano and guitar work, it's definitely the emotion of the singer that keeps me hitting replay. The lyrics ...
