Fujiwara no Mokou's theme cover using more Japanese style instruments All virtual instruments in Mixcraft 8. I can't actually play real instruments. All the covers thus far were done in that software.
All my work is done digitally, so I am not sure. Though I can suggest looking up the Yoshida Brothers for Shamisen stuff and Wagakki Band for a mix of traditional instruments. Both groups play rather fast and have live performance videos.
Trumpets can't normally play as high as they do in most touhou songs but ZUN gave them some good quality colombian coke so they're as high as the sky Later we named them zunpets
Maybe once, I had a dream Although I can't remember when Now, only a dream I'm rising every morning just to see it all again Holding on to the cold edge With overused and broken hands Why can't I let go? That's just the sort of freedom I will never understand So, life without death It isn't much worth calling "life" But, by the sharp pain Still searing through my body, I can feel that I'm alive Really sick of trying I can't go on without dying In a hell that's never over There won't be a key to finding When there's no way out this nightmare You can't tell me to remember Pass the trial, face the challenge Through the endless stream of carnage Could I quench that burning feeling? Hope is dead, but never fading In a thousand years of darkness No light piercing through the curtains Falling through and never sleeping For my own mistakes I'm weeping You could never bear this weight The price right now I am paying Now this maze has two ways through One they'd call "despair" To find what was lost Even knowing that one day All will be lost again This maze has two ways through One they might call "hope" To lose what was found Ever knowing that some day All will be found again... Reach for the pale moon A distance only I could reach Day, followed by night That moon is like a barrier, impossible to breach Flames lighting my way Into a never-ending night Night, followed by day This sun will overtake again its stolen ring of light Because they're all that I have left I'm going to let these feelings burn Once those have been quenched, then Some way or another, I'll be ready to return Bloom, blister and fall And from the ashes I will rise Smoke, leaving its trail Thins nearly into nothing, but it never truly dies Watch as the world grows But will I ever grow along? Each failure shows me Yet another way, another reason to be strong What more can I lose? I made a reckless sacrifice Now, carry this through There's something that I'll have to do, no matter what the price Once, I had a dream Although I can't remember when Now, only a dream I fall asleep this evening just to see it all again...
Amazing cover! I'm glad that touhou songs still get some recognition :) I've been a fan of the series for years - going back 10 years now. I personally play some of the songs on a piano, always loved how different one song can sound depending on the style and the very instruments it uses.
