1As ''Touhou Project''[='=]s sister series, ''Seihou'' features some nice music, some of which is composed by ZUN during ''Touhou Project'''s hiatus:
2----
3* From ''Shuusou Gyoku'':
4** The Stage 1 theme, [[https://youtu.be/QyDHN8zHJps False Strawberry]], is an energetic and upbeat theme that gives the feeling of a fun adventure. In ''Samidare'', it was [[https://youtu.be/Hao90hEfmrs arranged]] as an awesome and intense boss battle.
5** While the stage 2 theme, [[https://youtu.be/xbciqe83OPY "Illusory Imperial Capital"]] is somewhat weak compared to ZUN's usual fare, Shiina Fuuki on [=NicoVideo=] made [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28662714 this breathtaking remix of it]].
6** Gates has [[https://youtu.be/zVlqBfKSIFg "Firmament Army"]], which also got [[https://youtu.be/5XLv8DlXFLM a good Trance remix]] when he appeared in ''Samidare'''s Extra Stage.
7** The stage 4 theme, [[https://youtu.be/mKMdqkcQyR8 Illusionary Sputnik Night]], is decent, but [[https://youtu.be/2-iutZPojyw ZUN's remix of it]], from the CD included with the Grimoire of Marisa, is incredible.
8** Marie's theme [[https://youtu.be/kV-ewZiFots Mechanical Circus ~ Reverie"]] is a rather elegantly melancholy piece, albeit repetitive. ZUN's [[https://youtu.be/YP50vp-M8_Y arrangement]] for ''Dolls in Pseudo Paradise'' develops it into an amazing piece.
9** There's Erich's theme, [[https://youtu.be/demUHmy-uD0 "Magical Girl's Crusade"]], which is just plain awesome. ZUN arranged this one for Ghostly Field Club, and it's [[https://youtu.be/jEfucqDOtjY amazing]]. [[http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Magic+Girl+Crusaders/2uqoH6?src=5 dBu's arrangement]] adds a delicious touch of pipe organs.
10** All ''three'' of (Boss) Vivit's themes, which includes:
11*** "[[https://youtu.be/Taa60KOjb6g Dream Machine ~ Innocent Power".]]
12*** "[[https://youtu.be/RHonR4uGa6s Illusory Science ~ Doll's Phantom"]] (which was arranged by ZUN as "[[https://youtu.be/BcCJwVf8oXQ Phantasm Machine ~ Phantom Factory"]].)
13*** "[[https://youtu.be/CZAw1qTrgbY Girl's Divinity ~ Pandora's Box".]] [[https://youtu.be/ZZ_yUJK-JZ8 Remaster here.]]
14** The ending theme, [[https://youtu.be/SRbwQahZBsE "Herselves"]], is quite possibly the most beautiful ending theme ZUN ever composed. The group Seventh Heaven MAXION managed to create a just as epic [[https://youtu.be/dHgqf6WvHl8 vocal arrangement]] of the track.
15** The first game's extra stage features a guest appearance by the two main characters of ''Franchise/TouhouProject''. Marisa, as the first boss, is fought with [[https://youtu.be/9KqVdSnuEWQ "Witches' Ball ~ Magus"]] running in the background. It was [[https://youtu.be/MYjhYxQOwZU arranged for IaMP]], and got [[https://youtu.be/QTgQzv_16Xc made all the more awesome]] by dBu.
16** Reimu, as the second boss, goes all out to the tune of [[https://youtu.be/xFovQWYiJEw "Dichromatic Butterfly ~ Ancients"]] which got reworked by ZUN for ''Dolls in Pseudo Paradise'' as [[https://youtu.be/e9j_yThRVik "Dichromatic Butterfly ~ Red & White"]] and got featured as a [[https://youtu.be/f3Nj46pSz_c jazz mix]] in ''Hisoutensoku''.
17** On top of that Music/{{IOSYS}} discovered that it made an '''awesome''' [[https://youtu.be/WadpQXFbIIY festival]] [[https://youtu.be/pFmvFA_cKAE dance]] tune.
18* From ''Kioh Gyoku'':
19** [[https://youtu.be/4oe62MZuD24 "Velvet Maiden Battle ~ Velvet Battle"]], VIVIT's theme in ''Kioh Gyoku'', is nothing to scoff at.
20** [[https://youtu.be/J0R6uIzUbaw Castle Explorer -in the Sky-]] [sic], Gates' theme. Despite ZUN's claims in the comments that "It sounds so girlish it's almost scary", it sounds like Gates during peace time. Surprisingly enough, [[https://youtu.be/NmKQoLppruY the MIDI version sounds even better on the intended hardware]].
21** Erich's theme, [[https://youtu.be/9XSvPXSofO0 "My Maid, Sweet Maid]], a beautiful and melancholy piece. The violin solo at the end is simply wonderful.
22** Muse's theme, [[https://youtu.be/kBReFar3YGw "Enigmatic Doll ~ God Knows"]]. ZUN arranged it for Dolls in Pseudo Paradise [[https://youtu.be/4t3_YolD4GU as well]].
23** Yuuka Kazami makes a cameo, resulting in her getting a new theme, [[https://youtu.be/9NUT7GI-yqY "Lovely Mound of Cherry Blossoms ~ Flower of Japan"]]. ZUN arranged this in ''[[https://youtu.be/N9xp7YxFvhc Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]]''.
24* From ''Banshiryuu'':
25** The stage 3 themes of each version are both excellent. From the C67 version, we have [[https://youtu.be/xx-zGshGzN8 "Overtake!"]], a very catchy and lively theme with a unqiue ''flamenco'' influence. From the C74 version, we have [[https://youtu.be/4nKpxF__hEE "Finally Reaching the Warp Gate"]], a much more energetic theme.
26** [[https://youtu.be/WdVzDDctPGA "Duel in Another Dimesnsion"]], the second theme of Hirano/Vivit-r, is a very intimidating and exciting battle, and a massive improvement on their first themes.
27** Both of [[FinalBoss Yuitia's themes]] are fantastic. [[https://youtu.be/vfFbFr7lyKQ "Struggle for Only Existence"]] is a great theme that gives a feeling of desperation. Her second theme, [[https://youtu.be/gJuIRucytTc "trans--"]], despite being hard to hear in-game due to the sound effects, is a mysterious and menacing theme, fitting for a possessed phantom like Yuitia.
28** Morgan's theme, [[https://youtu.be/NLnvfFyrnVo "Hot Cake Laboratory"]], is relaxed and happy in contrast to the other extra boss themes, making her boss fight very exciting.
29** Muse's theme, [[https://youtu.be/nyVWTZxq-Xg "Muse"]], is very majestic and menacing, perfect for someone as powerful as Muse.
