Touhou Lotus Land Story - Bad Apple!! BGM 

The drawings of the first games were so genuinely cute

I must be like the only one who loves ZUN's art style.

I just realized it's difficult to find Bad Apple covers not based off the popular one.

Who cares if the man can't draw? He conduct music like a god! (And have you seen how much fan art has appeared in the fan base?.....The art thing was no problem by then XD )

I'm still astounded at how even over 10 years later, ZUN's art still looks just about the same. At least he's gotten much better at costume designs.

when the theme for your stage is 30 times more popular than your theme

I know the popularity of the vocal version versus the original is the root of a lot of controversy~ but without it, I would never have discovered this song. Or Touhou, in general.

Because one exclamation point wasn't enough!(!!!!!)

I honestly like both versions a lot.

The rushjob artwork doesn't bother me at all, especially when ZUN one man army'd the entire Touhou Project all by himself.

The original version is poisonous! My god I cannot stop repeating this clip XD

Who likes the original than the famous one?

ZUN art is best art

And to think the first 5 games on the NEC PC-9800 were all a one-man show: programming, graphics, music and testing!

Wow ese Zun a creado muchas músicas, es increíble.

What a beautiful time capsule

This feels like a parallel universe compared to the remix

Sometimes when I look at his PC-98 stuff, I stop and wonder if ZUN's art really has improved or not. '3' It is certainly original though. XD

It's impressive for a game designer to design the game, do the art, AND do the music as well. Usually you have different people do different parts of the game design since most people specialize in just one thing I hope one day I'll be like that. I can play this song on piano, and I'm majoring in computer science. My art skills are good for drawing non-humans/anime, but wanna work on that for anime/manga

The Touhou Project is the greatest blessing the internet has given us.

Love this game can't stop playing it! :)

I love this

He can draw better than I... the best I can draw is stick people...

Both Marisa and Reimu look so different in the later games... wow...

this is so nostalgic to me even though this game was literally made before I was even born yet.

Zuns art has always been unique we thought ❤❤

Now I know the original version of this music. Liked!

why does this sound so much like the YM2612 edit: oh I get it now, the PC-98 sound chip is a part of the OPN family, just like the YM2612

My, these two girls have grown

ZUN's art isn't so bad, He gave his best.

@Skittyism Sorry to reply to an old comment, but "The Landing" by Nobuo Uematsu was also 90s music, and it still sounds amazing today. ZUN was just limited by the technology he was working with here. Not saying that's a problem - he still performed exceptionally despite that, so his PC-98 music also sounds great. This sort of timelessness is the sign of a fantastic composer, as Uematsu and ZUN both are.

Should be set on repeat.

the real bad apple

wow good vid i love touhou

i like this more than the alstroemeria records version also i love zun's art style

Ufff This is the good song

@TheRetroGun I'm quite aware of that, thank you.

best one

This is god tier

One of the few videos that actually uses the one from LLS and not Akyu's Untouched Score.

@Aeromusique oooh okay! that makes sense! and i prefer the purple too.

This much awesomer than original.!! Bring backs memories!!!

The vibe I get from this is "Genesis sidescrolling beat-'em-up set in China". Make of it what you will.

Kinda reminds of the java games I used to play on my dad's phone when I was 4 lol

Touhou music is *HELLA LIT*

i can still hear the lyrics of the other bad apple

@EOCB nahh she does read, her dream is not just about rivalry with reimu but suprass her mentor lady Mima and her mother as greatest magician

Marisa's isosceles triangle thumb tho.

I dunno why the nomico version didn't include the other sections of this original song. I still get goosebumps when the tone changes at 0:33 and 0:56.

The SYNC.ART'S CD "Takamizu Yume Futatsu" (霊水夢双) has a nice illustration of old and new Reimu on it.

It's getting better... I mean, look at Youmu for Ten Desires... :)

@ViperKirby I was referring to ZUN's style as well...

Finally a good version and without the video

hehehe, gotta love that 8-bit

Wow! I should play this game :D

@SamusAran627 I know, She just reminds me of her in the older games.

I almost though Marisa was Remilia cuz' she looks so old.

@EOCB that's actually just one of many jokes within the community. Marisa does read.

ジャパニーズ！！

I think the description should mention ZUN at some point.

That Reimu reminds me of that girl from Rurouni Kenshi

When the song is only 1:23 and you became tired of pushing the reply button many times you it to be re-extended

I's say he started getting better since 11th game. Of course, art of 12th was even better.

Although I do like the Alstroemeria version as the lyrics are cool and the tune is catchy, I do prefer the original as it has more musical variation to it.

i like them before. they're oddly cute and innocent looking. but ZUN said that Touhou is time-related. They grow old. So particularly maybe Reimu and Marisa are 18 year olds now.

But you have to admit that he got better somewhere between 10 and 11.

@theRealPlaidRabbit Windows Marisa apparently doesn't care about reading them, just owning them..

A random human from 2022 appeared

His art is better than mine, i probably cant draw spoderman good

Wait, what? I thought I was listening to CaveStory for a few seconds there

Everyone wants Mima to return(myself included) but with how popular bad apple became I think Elly deserves to return in the next game with Yuuka.

Hey, please don't insult ZUN... (you'll wake the touhou fans)

I know.

You will know Elie

@VocaUtau yeah older they kind look like 5-10 year olds while they look mid-teens in later games

@VocaUtau before this one, Marisa had red hair.

i like your profile pic *thumbs up*

I like the popular one better. Still nice to know where it came from.

probably mistaken for young alice when she used her grimoire

@Arrakhis that's PC-98 Marisa, and pretty much nothing PC-98 is canon any more.

so i have a question thats been bugging me since i started palying these games...how come in fan-art everyone makes reimu's hair brown but in the game its purple like this?

REALLY? I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THE PURPLE WAS REPLACED WITH BLACK.

Is it just me, or is this song not actually at 160/161 BPM consistently throughout?

So many people probably don't know this exists 😂

@Fierce0Deity0Link fixed

I have a good solution to the "Alstroemeria Records Bad Apple!! vs. Lotus Land Story Bad Apple!!" debate. Just consider the former an original composition that borrows melodic material from the latter. That way you can appreciate both on their own merits. (Seriously, though, the vocal arrangement has a b-section melody that is completely unique to it, while not using the b- or c-section melodies of this piece in any capacity. It's at least 50% original song, using less than 33% of this track.)

Sounds like SEGA Genesis music to me.

0:00

Marisa looks a lil goofy

you're right ... Marisa doesn't have red hair! xD

there is not,she didn't appear untill Perfect Cherry Blossom.There are a few characters other than Marisa with long blonde hair though,so it was probably one of them.

Severely good videos, Our channels are similar

btw who create the vocal remixes?

I like this version better. It's got that FM drum attempt that tries so hard.

@theRealPlaidRabbit but doesn't she pretty much steal everything?

Thats marsia and remu? I play touhou 8 to much

I know so much about 2 ho and yet I've never seen a screenshot from it let alone know how to spell the name

*borrowing

another link send me here now imma look for another link
