"Pure furies" sounds even more epic when you realise that it kinda matches up with "U.N. Owen was her?" "Sea where one's home planet reflects" is literally just the opening of "stairway to heaven"
Koishi's theme never felt creepy to me, it always felt a bit bumbling but heartfelt and somewhat tragic. Like the "chaotic" parts represent her mannerisms now, while the more gathered portions feel like Koishi's old self and a mournful smile to the memories of a person who isn't there any more. I really hope she regains her sanity some day ;_;
One of my favorite parts in all the ost has to be the part in chimata’s theme that lines up with her spellcard rainbow ring of people, it’s sooo goooood and it represents chimata desperately fighting for her life, the music falling and then rising over and over and over again (she’s also one of my favorite characters in general) The opening of eiki’s theme consistently gives me goosebumps I cannot tell you enough how much I adore shinmy’s theme. I literally cannot stress enough how fantastic it is I don’t think it’s possible for junko’s theme to have a better name for her it’s just the desperation and sadness and anger filling her heart Nue’s theme is incredible and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT!!! Same with Raiko Mokou’s, Parsee’s, Byakuren’s and Shinmy’s themes get me legitimately emotional One of the most important things about a touhou soundtrack for me for it to enter “I am going to listen to this on repeat” is the beginning to get me “hooked” on it and there are so many ones that do not disappoint. You will never be able to make me choose a single favorite because I just love too damn many. I think if I had to choose a game with my favorite ost lineup it’s probably pcb though Also zanmu’s theme is the type that gets better and better the more and more you listen to it. I started out like “eh its ok” and now I love it lol My favorite pc98 theme is probably mugetsu’s purely because of that intro. Holy fuck
Idk why but the oppening part of a lot of Zun's songs are just so good! Lunatic princess, reach for the moon imortal smoke, and i guess U.N. owen was her all sound so amazing
the piano part in remi’s theme will always be my favourite part and the beginning section of border of life never fails to give me goosebumps it gives “you thought it was over?” lmao
The Capital City of Flowers in The Sky is easily one of my favorite themes from one of my favorite stages. The part where the drums cut out puts me on the verge of tears from how beautiful it is. Edit: I also want to point out Faraway Voyage of 380 000 Kilometers. All of it. Especially the part about 90 seconds in where the descending melody with the synth kicks in just makes for an epic track for what is probably one of the hardest stages in the whole series (or so i've heard, i haven't played lolk yet).
Oh, absolutely! This one, Lullaby of Deserted Hell and Heartfelt Fancy are the themes that pluck on my heartstrings with no mercy at all. Zun has such a feather-like sooth when it comes to composing beautiful melodies like this.
IS IT NOT COMMON??? I call it BLASPHEMY! Nuclear Fusion still remains to this day as the best soundtrack from the entire Touhou franchise for me. I have stood in this place for SIX YEARS and my mind haven't changed yet >:(
@@RadioactiveMelody I dont see it commonly no, which i guess is understandable because touhou has a lot of really emotional and powerful tracks but… utsuho… Hers is just different sounding from them all😭
@@cratertheunknown EXACTLY!! It hits right on the spot with the "hellish apocalyptic world end scenario". I adore a whole lot of other tracks but Utsuho in general is a special gem of her own. No wonder she's literally my favorite character.
That part of BORDER OF LIFE is actually so goated when i first played pcb, the adrenaline going through me hearing that song was INSANE, probably one of the main reasons why pcb is my favorite th game
It always confused me why it didn't have one before. I mean, the movie has been out for ten years, the soundtrack is well-known and it is a masterpiece of its own and yet- nobody ever did this type of video. Glad to be considered the first! :)
Great video! ❤ I could be yammering a lot of time about how I love a bunch of Touhou tracks, but I will restrain and simply say that my favorite bit currently is the second section of A Rainbow-Colored World.
Thank you! I don't remember too much of the Unconnected Marketeers OST but man, I will have to say something - Zun should use choirs more on his soundtracks. Whenever he does, he always hits the spot and it is downright spectacular.
