The best thing about Touhou? Easily the music, because in the realm of music ZUN is a god (though the gameplay itself isn't too shabby). The best thing about Touhou music? The sheer amount of remixes and covers it gets from dedicated fans from all around the world.
The worst thing about Touhou music? Actually making a remix.
Good GOD I dreaded making this track for the longest time. I even held off on actually doing it once I got the general gist of what it was about, simply because ZUN is such a beast at making music that I felt covering ANY track in Famitracker would be an injustice. But lo and behold, Comiket 92 is happening this weekend, and with it the release of Touhou 16: Hidden Star in Four Seasons. Not only that, but yesterday (at the time this is being made live) was the 15th anniversary of Touhou's reboot, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, and next Monday and Tuesday are the 19th anniversary of Lotus Land Story (where this song originated from) the 13th anniversary of Imperishable Night (where the modern version of the song came from), and the 20th anniversary of the full release of Highly Responsive to Prayers (the first game in the series). Thus, I forced myself to do a cover of Reimu's theme, since doing anything else today would be a disservice.
I've had this done since relatively early last Monday, on July 31st, but spent roughly a week and a half tinkering with it to make it as presentable as possible (as well as add a few bonuses). Hopefully it turned out alright! Also before you ask, that gameplay shown in this video is of Lotus Land Story and was recorded on my end, so you're unfortunately not going to see competent gameplay (I myself only started playing earlier this week, to at least get some headway into Touhou before uploading. Jesus this game is hard on Lunatic).
