Theme of Makai Levels 16-19 of Highly Responsive to Prayers


ZUN's comment (from Mystic Square): This is the second song in my heart, composed right after "Eastern Strange Discourse". Originally, the tempo was pretty messed up, so I slowed it a bit.

ZUN's comment (th1_10.txt): Thank you for downloading this song.

This song is "The Legend of KAGE" from Highly Responsive to Prayers.

I chose a song like New Year's. (What?)

This song is about the second I wrote for use in a game I created. Why is the title that, you ask? That game I'm referring to (not Highly Responsive to Prayers) is a game I made having studied from C, and one of the characters (for some reason) had a shadow, and this was their theme song. (Ah, how nostalgic (^^;)

On that note, the first song I composed for a game was "Eastern Strange Discourse", and that song was the theme song of one of the characters, Koya-chan (for some reason). There were also Dain, Ptolemy... (all taken from retro games, LOL)) it was a mysterious game indeed. (Ah, there might be some that don't know what game I'm talking about, but there's some things in this world that it's okay not to know about, so I abbreviated it)

Before I did this song, I was making simple transcriptions (mostly from games) 60% of the time, and creating original pieces about 30% of the time. But after that, I stopped making the transcriptions altogether (because it was a pain). Though, that's not to say I never ever want to make them. By the way, what's the other 10%? (^^;

This song itself is an interpretation of my personal image of a ninja, in as much of a "new age" style as I could manage. I think ninjas are cool and should be fashionable. I like ninjas in and of themselves, too, but in the end, they didn't end up appearing in Touhou (because they're not girls). Also, I hate kunoichi (LOL). So for those reasons, this will probably be the only ninja theme song in Touhou. (In the past there were several original ninja theme songs I made, though)

Anyway, I didn't really remember it (this song is from seven or eight years ago), so it's not totally faithful to the original, but the crazy drum pattern was surprising. This time, I left in the crazy drums. I left them in. If there is someone who can actually play that, I will not go near them. No, really.

Well then, let us meet again in the next song, shall we? ZUN
