For more information, you can refer to the Touhou Wiki.

Recently, I've been immersing myself in music from the series. I thought I'd share some of my favorite songs with you guys, since you don't get to hear from me very often.


A Flower-Studded Sake Dish on Mt. Ooe (Subterranean Animism ~ Yuugi Hoshiguma's Theme): Video

Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome-Kagome (Imperishable Night ~ Stage 5 Theme): Video

Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess (Imperishable Night ~ Kaguya Houraisan's Theme): Video
-> Remix: Help me, ERINNNNNN!! by COOL&CREATE

Gensokyo Millennium ~ History of the Moon (Imperishable Night ~ Eirin Yagokoro's Theme): Video

Love-coloured Master Spark (Imperishable Night ~ Marisa Kirisame's Theme): Video

Necrofantasia (Perfect Cherry Blossom ~ Yukari Yakumo's Theme): Video

Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17 (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil ~ Hong Meirin's [China's] Theme): Video

Shanghai Teahouse ~ Chinese Tea (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil ~ Stage 3 Theme): Video
-> Note: In my opinion, the version in "夢違科学世紀　～ Changeability of Strange Dream" is better.
-> Remix: セピア色の Shanghai tea room by IOSYS

U.N. Owen Was Her? (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil ~ Flandre Scarlet's Theme): Video

Wind God Girl (Phantasmagoria of Flower View ~ Aya Shameimaru's Theme): Video


If you're short on time, I highly recommend Necrofantasia, U.N. Owen Was Her?, and Wind God Girl. I actually left out a bunch of other songs that I like, simply to avoid posting too many links. =P

Listen to these songs while playing Gunz for a real fun time.

Ah, I never thought I'd see another fan of the Touhou project's musics here.

Same here. I find this somewhat surprising, considering the huge (...and enthusiastic to the point where jokes about the creator's drinking habits are commonplace...) fanbase that the series has.

That intro reminds me of Iku's Theme.

You know that freaky ass mcdonalds video?


Guess the song it's portraying...

I'll give a hint, it's a big boss fight song from one of the games in that project.

[Can'-Ka No Rey]

I'll get around to playing the game someday.

Y'know, all these songs would be AWESOME on music games, like BMS, DJMax, Rock Fever, O2Mania, etc.

I lack the patience to be good at rail shooters. They always look cool, though.


This is good music.
