8* The stage 1 theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYvvKyYIc5s A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry]]" has an epic, if somewhat odd, name[[note]]"ground cherry" in this context refers to the plant ''Physalis alkekengi''.[[/note]], and an equally epic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLd-g3gZLk0 classical]] remix. O-Life Japan delivers a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q9geGcGVBk delightful piece]] that begins ominous then becomes supremely energetic.
9* Rumia's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd8IHH4Tz20 Apparitions Stalk the Night]]", is the most cheerful theme of a darkness creature in history.
10** Sekken-ya's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXEe84U-gmI EX Devil's Rush (Road of Pandemonium)]]" and [=TaNaBaTa=]'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODE_9V_xd5M Pick Me Up In The Dance Hall]]" certainly do conserve the cheerfulness.
11** ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0WIceUrveY In MY Rumia theme?]] [[MemeticMutation It's more likely than you think.]]
12** And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpewfj0Ivuc TAMusic version]] creates a great 'nighttime' atmosphere.
13** [[http://youtu.be/F8QUp5-zWvc Her theme]] in Gensou Shoujo Taisen is nice too.
14** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIrkCl-JQvI This remix]] goes from chilling, to awesome, to chilling again. And it's awesome.
15** Music/YuuheiSatellite adds [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyMBQxoQHpI some impressive vocals]] for it; this song is also included as the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SilyQDx91U ending piece]] for the second episode of ''WebAnimation/FantasyKaleidoscope''.
16* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWv1yRDCN18 Lunate Elf]] could be considered as Daiyosei's theme. Unfortunately, they are both overshadowed by Cirno and her theme.
17** Discord Registers unleashes their potential with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxYn2SBAxnA rocking metal arrangement]].
18** If you prefer a soft and mellow vocal, try Hatsunetsumiko's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziaPe6Yqjoc "Innocent World".]]
19** For those of you looking for a more upbeat and peppy version, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQNPrSfhxpE "Best Friends Atop The Silent Lake,"]] from Gensou Shoujo Taisen is a blast.
20* Cirno's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIZ12EQ2SFg Beloved Tomboyish Girl]]" is made of love.
21** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIr8ZnpQEXM She's getting tired of being]] called an idiot all the time, though.
22*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHRpwZeJ7xk Miku Hatsune's version]] of "Cirno's Advanced Math Class". [[TearJerker You might want some tissues]].
23*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPF6IXAE_1k Cirno's Perfect Piano Class]].
24*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmdkLafCAtg TAMusic's Perfect Violin Rendition]]. TAM has the STRONGEST violin!
25*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uxA9S90p9Y A challenger appears!]]
26*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aW62jeSvu8 9th Anniversary Edition!]]
27** Cirno's "Tokimeki [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nWgQY0tnRo Frozen Pack]]". Your teeth are already dead from the sweetness.
28** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEPyE80wKn8 Liverne's remix]] is so heavily retooled, it barely sounds recognisable... and yet it's wonderfully haunting. (The arranger is the secretive Kurenainagi Tabibito, who also did Keine's theme and... not much else. Which is a shame, because his/her work is amazing.)
29** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ribC_Lgnj48 Chiruno, Chiruno, Chiruno, Chiruno, Chiruno...]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQUQFKWBRNk Chiru Chiruu~ Chiru Chiruu~ Chiruno...]]
30** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjXN_xPQd0M "Chirumiru, chirumiru genki, chirumiru!" ("Genki da yo~")]]
31** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh2LCTho6Pk Cirnoroth.]]
32** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PcnaFea7yE beautiful piece]] brought to you by k-waves lab.
33** And now, for a ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' remix, [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/heir-conditioning Heir]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS0RIfG91EQ Conditioning]]. Also has "Complete Darkness" and "Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion".
34** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtp8dNa9XVU Tutti Sounds rendition of Cirno's theme]].
35** IOSYS goes old school with '80s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_TzJcBTHwQ guitar rock]].
36* Meiling's stage theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbqoImQZ-EY Shanghai Teahouse ~ Chinese Tea]]".
37** Music/{{IOSYS}} combines her theme with her stage music in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR0fTYTgONc Chinese Gatekeeper Girl Meiling]]: Watashi namae wa Hong Meiling!"
38** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67Xu7sh1zwc Floating Cloud Acoustic Band]] give us a gorgeous folk mix carried by one of China's most iconic instruments, the erhu.
39** A metal arrange? By IOSYS? Well [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF16zR0bFA8 why didn't you say so?]]
40** Music/YuuheiSatellite has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZpvLpOtSJY a vocal remix]] of it.
41** The other Satellite, Shinigiwa Satellite, did a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PF8CZjE62k pretty rocky remix]] of Meiling's theme.
42* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4FVKSHjg-0 Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17]]", Hong Meiling's theme, is great.
43** Have an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozvvnwwBi7w orchestral arrangement]].
44** In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO7w0qi_9tU Enough With Knife - The Gatekeeper's Chapter]]", Meiling rants about always being knifed by Sakuya.
45** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aahMt68U6QY An incredibly powerful piano version]], courtesy of Aojiru.
46* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHlkba7biyk Voile, The Magic Library]]", Patchouli's stage theme, may not be the best song from the game, but it's a quite nice tune. It fits the stage mode really well.
47** And there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMCvpBa_XOQ ARA's version]].
48** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lem4kX0iE7c This arrange]] by Tutti Sound turns an otherwise underwhelming theme into the most epic library ever.
49** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9JOkx0XFLM IaMP version]] is incredible.
50* Patchouli's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygyraTutBJg Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Secret Room]]" is pretty ominous and epic sounding, quite appropriate for the [[WakeUpCallBoss spike in difficulty the game has at the point of this battle.]].
51** The remixes are also really good sounding. Its SWR remix (noted below) is awesome, Music/{{IOSYS}} brings us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsZ_6yn4QXk Special Ability To Sing A Love Spell]]", and if you add in a little of Marisa's theme, you get COOL&CREATE's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E14YgAy8FwM Locked Girl]]".
52** Patchouli's theme sounds best when made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dUZPco_guc epic]].
53** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f1eLReRHGI This arrangement from Tutti Sound]], to paraphrase the video's description, truly encompasses the eerie feel of the original, while showing off the magnitude of a magus that has mastered all the elements.
54** Rejoice! Tutti Sound released one more [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnmEKsqiZeM arrange of Locked Girl]]. And it's epic.
55** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9zCFVYQXzs Patchouli]] [[BadassBookworm Knowledge]] will [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroy all of us]] with [[ThePowerOfTheSun Royal Flare.]]
56** And Music/YellowZebra show us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHzw7_iEjOk what they know.]]
57* Sakuya's stage theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD8XDPM14Ts The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood]]". Try also these [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh5VD_BHktA awesome]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_fLDBHJb4I remixes]].
58** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YILO9pjRZTA remix]] by [=Dark PHOENiX=] that mixes it with [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} The Battle For everyone's Souls]].
59** From the ''WebAnimation/FantasyKaleidoscope'' fanime comes "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_9_Xquu58Q Hospitality of Blades]]", which combines elegant harpsichords with head-bopping rock.
60* Sakuya's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01skyPMeeoc Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial]]". ZUN was right - maids go well with hard rock!
61** The ''VideoGame/ConcealedTheConclusion'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5H4h9yG5FI version]] is even better!
62** [[SarcasmMode There's just no way a classical remix of "Luna Dial" would work, right?]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA5woigdirs Wrong.]]''
63** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fynDn8k6TQ This remix]] combines both her themes from ''[=EoSD=]'' and ''[=PoFV=]'' into an epic gothic rock piece that could have come straight out of Castlevania.
64** And here's a vocal remix for you all: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCZU9J8iraU Dial Connected]]".
65** There's hard rock, and then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L3QHXXc_uw face-melting rock]].
66** Ditto for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vR2dMQi0tQ speed metal]].
67** And how can we forget the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiPoiFsY5FY Ezel-Ash]] version.
68** Tutti Sound [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQu78rmpAVk combines Sakuya's stage and boss themes]] for one intense ride.
69** Also combining Sakuya's stage and boss themes, the hauntingly beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP2NPHiHEKg "Bloody Devotion"]]. Stack's gorgeous vocals combine with a gothic symphonic metal piece to create an absolute masterpiece.
70** ziki_7 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi2fGqBYXAw gives us a cover]] that makes you think of the mafia.
71** And now there is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh_n5hZXF68 Magnum Opus]] remix.
72** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi2fGqBYXAw Thor -alpha break VI-]] A "Metal"Techno mix of Luna dial, affectionetly nicknamed Mafia Touhou, because it oozes badass.
73** FELT gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIFFT6ATZ30 a relaxing, epic remix.]]
74** And Sonic Hybrid Orchestra provides us with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y66Dkul7nw a powerful heavy metal remix]].
75** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wAFdldgrWo The version]] by Carrot Wine transcends awesome and into the realm of epic.
76** Another gem from the ''WebAnimation/FantasyKaleidoscope'' fanime is the classical rock track, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-nyGOKUiY4 "Ruler of Time"]], which perfectly captures the deadliness of Sakuya.
77* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IJFV9wvssA The Young Descendant of Tepes]]", Remilia's stage music, is easily overshadowed by what comes after it but still deserves mention.
78** At long last [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEsRO2ykDEw Aojiru's take on it]] has been reuploaded!
79** O-Life Japan steps up with a lively Irish flavor with the appropriately titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPKWvRV9Fao The Importance of Fun]]".
80** To say "absolutely emotional" would be a disservice to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggT5R9Y-2po TAMUSIC's rendition.]]
81* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJQ5HsXlPTo Septette for the Dead Princess]]", Remilia's theme, is so popular, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efjz_YV72kc arranges]], remixes, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tpx2geeNUg vocal]] versions of it are extremely widespread!
82** The versatile circle FELT produced an achingly sad piano and vocal piece entitled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_44BG42VSgk Endless Pain]].
83** S.S.H. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92uGPswSWyY has remixed it]].
84** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Zt6TRm1NU TAMUSIC's violin + Remilia's theme = Awesome.]]
85** Another [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agxlUq2REuc gorgeous TAM version]] of "Septet". Someone really needs to give him a medal or something.
86** After [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1UbZU8d90E this]] FanVid, Innocent Key's "Touhou Sweets! The Cruel Sisters and the Suffering Maid", [[CoveredUp you'll never see]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Remilia]] or [[{{Meido}} Sakuya]] the [[ChewToy same]] [[{{Cosplay}} way]] [[BlackComedyRape again]].
87** In the IOSYS song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_OBz215d4U Such Adorable Scarlets Can't Possibly Be My Mistresses]]", Sakuya finally shows her perverted side. It's not as sexually suggestive as the above vid, but...yeah.
88** And here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtTjbPT5rx8 another epic piano arrangement]].
89** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYc-eJOhWYQ Behold]] Remi's true [[Memes/TouhouProject CHARISMA]].
90** A beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTfFgam8pBw& orchestral arrange]] by Nazz-can.
91** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4p83YA3X6Q Remi Remi Remi~ Ah ooh ah ooh ah~]]
92** And now for something completely different, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M15AAsByugE a fantastic orchestral version]], courtesy of Kitsune's Worshop.
93** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo689QuUNzo Dectet, Nonet, Octet]]", courtesy of the ever-amazing Morrigan of WAVE, is the ''perfect'' theme for a terror of the night, and even has a bonus "U.N. Owen" at the end in an also-perfect transition that makes the listener feel an absolute sense of ''dread'' at the thought that Flandre is joining the battle.
94** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DazKKUShotM This transcendental piano version]] by the wonderful Shiraha is not only a slice of heaven, but is also ''an actual septet''.
95** Although less known, Nashimoto-P lends his awesome guitar to help create [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QbmvhblAns Scarlet Myrtle]] along with Tonon's vocals.
96** Although it's not IOSYS's usual genre, they released a rock album that had an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a21u0OxLDV8 amazing rock remix.]]
97** Then there's Demetori providing us with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGgS6en5DAc Ascending Into Naught.]]
98** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXTREKTaMRY "Chained Lady"]], Odyssey's Eurobeat arrangement of the song.
99** SOUND HOLIC gives us a wonderful jazz arrangement in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWiNPvUT6gk Noite De Carnaval]]".
100** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thlc_DSSwvo "Kind Lie"]] by SAM, featuring the Music/{{Vocaloid}} Gumi.
101** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fVg13r3G2g "Day Breaker"]] by Elementas and Shihori.
102** The circle Shiraha offers us an actual [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DazKKUShotM septette]].
103* The Extra Stage theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs7zF8AxQCc The Centennial Festival for Magical Girls]]" builds up with violins and trumpets until glorious zunpets arrive in time for the midboss.
104** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3XEz5WMLQg This]] amazing piano and violin cover of the theme calms the peppy theme down further, leaving a dream-like feel to the song.
105** On the opposite end, more electronic elements, lyrics and a faster beat gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvEC00eLkns a far more frantic arrange]] most well known in ''VideoGame/{{Osu}}''.
106** Fangame Frantically Forbidden Fruit's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU1tqbRmK3Q remix of the theme]] tones the song's more bombastic parts while keeping the core pacing.
107* Flandre's boss theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyC5eWJhCr8 U.N. Owen was Her?]]", conveys perfectly that feeling of "[[OhCrap Holy crap I'm going to die!]]"
108** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCh1LylWUSI This]] remix of "UN Owen". Amazing how Christmassy Flandre's theme can sound while still retaining the baseline of UN Owen was her.
109** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwwEYZ_7s9E Who brought Flandre to the Carnival of Venice?]]
110** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llj9NI2RPFg This opera remix]] is epic.
111** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxtlZCK2OS8 A version of her theme]] was performed by [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing KK Slider]].
112** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLuAId8O2rQ Memories of Scarlet]], a combination of both Scarlet Sister's themes, shows that Innocent Key is capable of far more than cutesy, {{ecchi}} J-pop numbers.
113** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM2e2JNQ5qs Yet another rendition of U.N. Owen by Innocent Key]], "Significant point". This number is heavy on the rockin', although [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR0Pt5_0zBw the version with vocals]] could scare you with her screams.
114** Sweets Time. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kiafHfyleM Midnight]] version is exquisitely creepy even without subtitles due to the mesmerizing images and haunting sound of a lonely child singing to herself in a vast manor. [[SchmuckBait Then you look up]] [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_Sweets_Time the translated lyrics]], [[NightmareFuel and there shall you find the]] ''[[NightmareFuel true]]'' [[NightmareFuel meaning behind what she's singing about.]]
115** Let it be forever known that the remix of U.N. Owen by Red-Sight is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_fErNTqAt4 FORKING AWESOME]].
116** On the same note as their Septette cover, FELT's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KJ8VCWFabA Moonlight Shines]] is a slow, tragic, despairing version of Flan's usual insane theme. (Note that the vocals come in halfway through.)
117** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4atoTU-vwE Devil's Advocate]] by [=PrototypeRaptor=] of OC [=ReMix=] is the result of what happens when U.N. Owen meets Danny Elfman and Tim Burton.
118** [=EastNewSound=] gives us two hard-edged techno remixes (the second being a....er...remix of the ''remix''). Both are heavy on the NightmareFuel lyrics, with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE2khbsBMos first remix]] being much more horroriffic (''especially'' with the accompanying vid), with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOz-T3NPtLA second remix]] only ever so ''slightly'' less creepy and more tragic sound.
119** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EL6tGAdH4c Sweet Little Sister]]" combines [=EastNewSound=]'s nightmare fuel laden lyrics with an equally unsettling (but still very simple) music video. For an added bonus (only for non-Japanese talking tropers), just watch it first and feel amazed by the surreal DesignStudentsOrgasm feel of it all before you check up the lyrics and get struck by the Fridge Awesome. It's so popular that it's chosen as one of the handful of ''Touhou'' tracks to appear in the Sega's ''VideoGame/{{Maimai}} Orange+'' arcade game!
120** A very [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uQt7hWG5NY schizophrenic remix]] by O-Life Japan.
121** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAjxo_yB9ek This version]] is simple, yet completely awesome version made by ZUN.
122** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ulJcLSEK94 Sound Horizon with JIMANG]] made this remix. Considering it's JIMANG, it's already known that this is over-the-top.
123--->'''Youtube commenter''': U.N. Owen was OHHH DESIREEE?!?!
124** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b14kz7Qa62E Here is a piano mix]] of the COOL&CREATE remix that is famous for the sheer number of notes played, to the point where it has been known to [[http://www.nicozon.net/watch/sm6959263 break player pianos.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06yF2WNSiYs Now in full orchestra.]]
125** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K40Ic4XFxpo Three]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0325YkV-X0 relaxing]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZcRCS7aY_0 piano]] arranges.
126** Arranged with real instruments, played by one man. Here [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTU84uwyN5w it is]].
127--->'''Video Description: No mortal should be capable of this. This man is talented.'''
128** A more [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVPbaBonDAA peaceful remix]].
129** On the subject of "U.N. Owen Was Her?", behold - COOL&CREATE's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9pdhoM9BKo "Final Savage Sister Flandre S"]].
130** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUUY9OFGI6s Here]] is an remix by Factory Noise & AG.
131** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LXQlp0vYn4 Tutti Sound's version]] is a magnificent, bombastic piece with a choir that blows away nearly all of the competition. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEHHmQv0Ymw Since we're at Tutti Sound]] - this blows every otherwise sane man's mind with its pure, undiluted, sinister over the top epicness.
132** As with Remilia's theme, IOSYS made an excellent [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69z_goLu30Q rock remix of Flandre's theme.]]
133** Sound Holic's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MszKN6DctyM Grip and Break down!!]] And then comes out the PV version with loads of awesomeness. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeHTxs_JXYE Touhou X Tekken anyone?]] And if you liked the general sound of "Grip and Break down!!" but felt it could use a bit more synth, DJ Command made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaJIP_KmzX8 Eurobeat mix]] of it.
134** Smooth [=McGroove=] brings us an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=XUed7HZtTNA acapella version.]]
135** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5oHWaiotJk "Don't Break Me Down"]], Axel K.'s Eurobeat version.
136** From the same lyricist who brought you the WithLyrics version of Satori Maiden found under the [[AwesomeMusic/TouhouModernWindowsEra Modern Windows Era]] section of this compilation, there's also an ImageSong for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng-iYlhWbEI Flandre Scarlet]] as well! The composer puts it best:
137--->"This is as creepy as it gets within the bounds of canon: She's not a psycho murderer, just a little girl who wants to play, but who can't control her own strength... and who's been locked up so long that she can't quite distinguish between a person and a plaything. Isn't that more terrifying, after all?"
138** You know this song is popular when it's ''rearranged'' for a new Touhou game eight years later. Gentlemen, may we present [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LsiN3MrVWA Stardust Dreams]] from ''Touhou Sky Fight'', now WithLyrics!
139** A different arrange than most: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_8SBmmLSN0 Fancy Baby Melodies]] is more innocent, calm and happy.
140** An excellent hip hop arrangement can be found in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go-IBNr2EaE Bass Killed Box]].
141** And now, [[https://youtu.be/IuCjQJ5YObg an official arrangement]] for Flandre's first playable appearance in 17.5.
142* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4swRq0die8 An Eternity that is More Transient than Scarlet]] (previously known as Crimson Beyond a Fleeting Eternity)", the ending theme, is a short yet calming song to congratulate the player who beats the game and viewing one of several endings. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN2tpxvHfss AQUA STYLE]] creates a truly beautiful orchestral that really brings out the "Triumphant" feel of the original.
143* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXYZ6KOZAR0 Crimson Tower ~ Eastern Dream...]]", the credits theme, is a peaceful and upbeat theme at the same time, and comes along really well after the final battle is over.
144** It has gotten [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYnpKAzpw1Q these]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLU9lIpHPc4 two]] piano versions who just bring out its majesty.
145** Piano is good, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaIDY4IJV-g piano and flute]] is even better.
146** Completely out of character, Demetori uses a guitar that ''isn't'' electric to create [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHlF4FMxLcE a gorgeous and soothing version]] that is beyond words.
147** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGWOTxhYzT0& Tutti Sound combines]] "Crimson Tower" and "An Eternity that is more Scarlet than Red" and creates something majestic.

151* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihhvufZWDkU Mystic Dream - Snow or Cherry Petal]], the title theme is a very nice piano theme that is a medley of past songs in the series.
152* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuc7L50iUhw Paradise ~ Deep Mountain]]", the stage 1 theme is often overlooked, but the remixes really bring this awesome tune to life:
153** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBYmesWJtCs This vocal remix]] is absolutely beautiful.
154** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCSagyF9rlA O-life Japan]]'s first rendition of "Deep Mountain" has the girls [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUtIhj2dcx8 join in]]. [[FanVid Oh, and it also features epic dancing]].
155** "[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01569/ Icy Peaks]]" is a beautiful violin renditioning.
156** Need to make a humble stage 1 theme absolutely badass? Ask [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWdWTYu4RIw Demetori]]. Bonus points for faux vynel player effects as BookEnds.
157** And then Demetori gave it another go with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XypAFRLxepM Paradise - Grief of Ressentiment]], an epic 8-minute long jam session of melancholic guitar.
158* And not to be outdone, Letty's boss theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_5qFcnJjGQ Crystallized Silver]]", is worth a listen.
159** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPe_eFPF86I IRON ATTACK]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hME36PKiKfU dBu]] give us hard rocking remixes of Letty's theme.
160** As does O-Life Japan with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ke2U1qcHCI its remix of Crystallized Silver]].
161** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDbya30JLlc And Morrigian strikes again]].
162* Chen's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJpi-iNY2c Withered Leaf]]", matches her cheerful and upbeat design. It sounds important, almost royal-like, but not bombastic.
163** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWHUDdBN1h8 Now combined with the]] smooooch memetic song.
164** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItbbWx36_0s SWING HOLIC]] offers us their jazzy rendition.
165** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeo6gMGJGYo Foreground Eclipse x Draw The Emotional]] rock out.
166** Also, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZkZWevMtiI The Fantastic Legend of Tohno]]", Chen's stage music.
167*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QCVq6hQjAg Once again]], O-Life Japan makes a ''wonderful'' reinterpretation of Chen's stage theme. First slow, then fast, this piece uses some instruments in ways people may not expect!
168*** And how about the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nJzpANuIWI Floating Cloud]] remix, channeling ''[[VideoGame/ExaPico Ar tonelico]]'' all the way.
169* Alice's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVwstM4vZC8 Doll Judgment ~ The Girl who Played with People's Shapes]]" and stage theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVhtS5cjAv0 The Doll-Maker of Bucharest]]" are both classics.
170** "Doll Judgement" is especially notable for the Music/{{IOSYS}} remix, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=com_rIiVx38 Marisa Stole the Precious Thing]].
171** Speaking of "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing" and "Doll Judgement", check out this in-house remix of both by Music/{{IOSYS}} - done ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8opPPTEC9KM full orchestral]]'':
172--->'''Youtube Comment:''' Marisa Stole the Precious Symphony.
173** That's enough peppy, techno remixes. Let's hear a remix of "Doll Judgment" that's a bit more... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Mat6YDpHE dangerous]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afIxcvvJicU Another one]] by xi-on!
174** SHI gives us a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWF7IeUguF0 soothing string version]].
175** There is the Secret Messenger remix of The Doll-Maker of Bucharest, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crjWVseRtPM Alice magica spei]]", that also sneaks in a few parts of Plastic Mind and Alice in Wonderland as well, all mixed together in a style very reminiscent of Yuki Kajiura.
176** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY9FCuy9aIM ARA of CarrotWine]] has re-arranged Doll Judgment into its most breathtaking rendition yet.
177** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqBbhIusgV0 Or has he?]] Not if C-CLAYS has a say in it.
178** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=880G4VyBFvQ sympacy dolls]]" from SYNC.ART'S is a hauntingly beautiful vocal rendition of "Doll-Maker of Bucharest" that explores Alice's thoughts on WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove
179* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQAliyNOVUo The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky]]", the theme for [[ThatOneLevel Stage 4]].
180** Fans have provided us with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUPKHWG2q3Q piano version]].
181** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI1KnSDzbnU This one,]] "Sensitive Heart - 天空の花の都 Capital City of Flowers in the Sky". Mmmmm-mmmm.
182** Demetori [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXMa9AWrK5k delivers a masterpiece]] as usual.
183** A great [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdQRm44tdLI arrangement]] by Spaztique.
184* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilWjpT0JPIk Ghostly Band ~ Phantom Ensemble]]" from the Prismriver fight, aka Perfect Cherry Blossom's [[ThatOneBoss Those Three Bosses]]. The best part is how, even in the original, you can make out the girls' signature instruments, plus lots more from their signature instrument styles, and how you can tell when each sister enters the song.
185** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzJcHCQ5BPU S.S.H]] gives us the best arrange ever, as if Lunasa had traded in her violin for an ax guitar.
186** TAMUSIC brought you a pop/classic rendition (and one of his earlier signature piece), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1qdykwTJLQ Silent Ensemble]].
187** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOQnh3JRZyA Obligatory gorgeous piano version]].
188** Soundholic does a wonderful song dedicated to the Prismriver Sisters and Layla with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmG5Sk5dyaI You May Know "Dream"]].
189** Silver Forest brings you [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxfluFbMvmo Touhou ga naku koro ni]] - combination with [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Dear You]], complete with trademark [[ScareChord bird-spooker]].
190** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj9PAeVWVS0 WAVE with Morrigian give it their usual treatment]].
191* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW93YFbawPU Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple]]", the stage 5 theme, is the perfect introduction to the Netherworld and its gardener.
192** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0zLtsNYvn4 And here is]] the Kitsune's Workshop version!
193** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzlkKUG69uY This vocal remix]] combining Ancient Temple and Japanese Dream is just simply epic.
194** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k0Whw3YhfY This arrange]] combines Morrigan's glorious orchestra with some '''stunning''' vocals to create a continuous eargasm. By the way, vocalist is Rekka Katakiri - who also sang Answer, G-Senjou no Maou's opening.
195** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOD2bv61HWE Cutoff Thread]] by Music/{{Butaotome}} puts Ranko's amazing vocals to work on this piece, and it just ''works'' so well.
196** Demetori uses the power of rock to turn Ancient Temple into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKD3lA-bOZM fun in musical format]].
197** Didn't think Ancient Temple could be done as Eurobeat? Think again, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zELNGB1XBNM Odyssey's Adequate]] succeeds and even makes the song symbolic of Youmu's loyalty to Yuyuko but also her desire to see the world outside of the Netherworld, as well as her existance as a as both a living human and a ghost.
198** Speaking of Eurobeat, NJK records goes against their standard and instead gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWW2nme9emY imitation]], a kind of tribal/rock remix.
199** TAMUSIC gives us two beautiful remixes, one focusing on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ymsi_16FeU piano]] and the other on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OUX2QdcSDw violin]].
200** C-CLAY's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR9OKJXoGyA Top of the Stairway]] is powerful and elegant.
201** Silver Forest and Jimang bring us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42JLcprgndo Natsumi Bomb]], your ears can't comprehend the awesome.
202** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-c-qlNz6GQ Pizuya's Cell]] arrived.
203** SOUND HOLIC gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkt_mAivJYo 卍ZAKURA]][[note]][[UsefulNotes/NonNaziSwastika (prononunced Manji-Zakura)]][[/note]], combining lapix's arrangement with Nana Takahashi's singing to create a masterpeice.
204* Youmu's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owG2_kQC2Go Hiroari Shoots A Strange Bird ~ Till When?]]"
205** An [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rGyC4D_2Zw awesome]] remix.
206** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le3g3Yum3iQ Obligatory epic version]], courtesy of Morrigan.
207** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok4yxCp8gMo This metal and vocal version]] by Rokugen Alice is both elegant and intense.
208** This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVpNHFCgyA vocal arrange]] combines "Ancient Temple" and "~Till When", and will melt faces.
209** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzG8GiwmNeo Demetori]] just arrived here.
210** Want even ''more'' of Morrigan/WAVE? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IycvOFI_u0 Here you go.]]
211* The final stage music, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL8t3RPcHVw The Ultimate Truth]]", really underscores the fact you're heading into a dramatic and emotional climax. The original is energetic and fast-paced, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo7MQyPecZ4 Diverse System's]] remix is more sedate and poignant, something you can imagine playing when Yuyuko realizes who she's trying to resurrect...And I found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT9DDurMtJw Kitsune's Workshop's]] version!
212* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zis2TtxdFjQ Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome - Border of Life]]" (A mix between soothing and tension, very appropriate for a cute yet [[BewareTheNiceOnes very much lethal]] boss).
213** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66Lph6sYBkI This spectacular orchestral arrange of Border of Life by WAVE]] goes beyond awesome and ascends into the realm of '''epic'''.
214** If WAVE's remix is "Border of Life" made epic, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1UiGfYWvQs this remix]] by =Neutral= is "Border of Life" after taking a level in badass.
215** Border of Life. [[SerialEscalation Just when you thought it couldn't get more]] epic, here comes the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA2aW_m18GY Unlucky Morpheus arrangement]] which should count as one of the most epic pieces of Metal ever made.
216** SOUND HOLIC's "Drive My Life" turns Yuyuko's theme into some of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaXKws2oevM the most awesome driving music ever]]. They also have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqM9HidsGbw Perfect Cherry Blossom]], an epic rock arrange.
217** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK7JX-YqA9E With this one]], Lily-an of the group Liz-Triangle lends her beautiful voice.
218** Making a good vocal rearrangement of "Border of Life" may seem impossible (well, except for WAVE's version, of course)... until one hears [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-jWcCuJHyk this awesome vocal arrangement by Neutral2, sung by Tamari]]. It remixes both Yuyuko's theme and "Ultimate Truth", her great but often overlooked stage theme. The result is... wonderful.
219** Odyssey Eurobeat has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0kKx_lsWIA her own take]] on the song.
220** The circle [=EastNewSound=] gives us the beautiful and awesome "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctmmnWJ-TGk Shisou Rinne, Reirou No Tsui]]".
221** And for something completely different, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrsgKz-CBRM this cute and energetic arrange]] by the circle Silver Forest.
222** Another excellent submission comes from FELT, with their deceptively upbeat [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tSFvNw9_ko Flower Flag]]. And then there's the remix of the remix, for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAeVsXr_cWA those who crave the 'synth.]]
223** Kitsune Workshop gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48UkLD3wBTw another beautiful rendition]], which mixes a brief piano solo into the orchestral music.
224** Music/YuuheiSatellite [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp3EY0z_GJ4 adds vocals to the mix]].
225** Floating Cloud goes Irish with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7dtSGzimeY their rendition.]]
226** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYbRfa3gywY TAMusic's rendition]] of the theme is pure TearJerker material.
227** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxrEag0bg9Q Tutti Sound's]] take on it. There's a (Life) side floating somewhere as well...
228** Demetori remixed this song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_OpBUfp5KY not once]], but ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYa7zWcNF-U twice]]''. And the latter one is considered one of the best arranges of the song.
229* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69jezLrwbU4 Border of Life]]", Yuyuko's second theme, certainly qualifies, especially when combined with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0vF-ixYAjY&t=7m boss fight]] itself. Yuyuko appears to be defeated, everything goes silent, then she suddenly reappears for one last Spell Card attack, which is also a survival card. The music starts at a relatively soft volume, and as you dodge wave after wave of bullets, it gradually builds up and crescendos, culminating in the triumphant climax during the final wave as the game briefly goes into BulletTime, an explosion occurs around Yuyuko, and all the bullets turn into point items and are absorbed. The triumphant music also continues into the results screen (unlike with previous levels' results screens) as your collected items and extra lives and such are tallied and converted into bonus points, furthering the climactic effect. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svi6YXfJD50 O-Life Japan]] takes their electronic guitar to "Border of Life", and it results in what can only be best described as a multiple eargasm.
230* The Extra Stage theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckugBtmFnQ4 Charming Domination]]", and its Phantasm Stage counterpart, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hmaUAYsBbA Charming Domination ~ Who done it?]]", are arguably part of the better Extra Stage themes in the series. They are incredibly well-suited for the portions leading up to two very epic boss fights.
231** Moro of KINZOK ON lays his hands on "Charming Domination ~ Who done it?" and gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rukknnDFe_c this Hardjump remix.]]
232** Spaztique of WebAnimation/DiamondInTheRoughTouhou fame has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91s0s8PfG9s arranged it]] was well.
233** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvo3bjNizyk Tutti Sound]] does not disappoint.
234* Ran Yakumo's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul8UFl72KOY A Maiden's Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro-Fantasy]]", is full of win. Yukari's theme, "Necrofantasia", featured next on this page, is actually an arranged version of this theme.
235** Aojiru of [=TAMusic=] gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64yoSKRw-pA this awesome orchestral arrange of Necro-Fantasy]].
236** Ladies and gentlemen, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsvo7eq0u4w the SUPPA TENKO Song!]] (Warning: NSFW)
237** Have a listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6mfDJh5Vx0 this spectacular piano version]].
238** =Neutral= gives us a remix that sounds [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gebWZsj1-Q4 out of this world]].
239** FELT goes for another upbeat take with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKxqyvOtQmk My Black]], with a tricky beat and solid vocals.
240** If you ever just need something to cheer you up and put a spring in your step, Silver Forest has your prescription with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF6ie5LAGa4 this little number.]]
241* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=195XntreoMc Necrofantasia]]": It's a perfect theme for a one woman badass Ancient Tradition who could do basically anything to you or the world you're in but prefers to sleep and is actually quite kind.
242** The Music/{{IOSYS}} remix of "Necrofantasia", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gAu7tAHWlI Border of Death]]", is amazing, with or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEr9LX6dBFg without]] vocals. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm2ucY6pyAA It is even more impressive with German lyrics]].
243** Demetori brings us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgKnR2Wl1Ks the speed metal version]].
244** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHuOAru07rs This version]] is a nice choral remix.
245** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlrJa7xdGZA This]] rendition of "Necrofantasia" by O-Life Japan is something that must be heard to be believed.
246** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDXoxtkOHN8 Here's a speedcore version]] by t+ pazolite of C.H.S.
247** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivZhlKTvueo The RED ALiCE remix]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJOWz3W3oTA The one sung by Misato]] (also brought by Alstroemeria Records) is pure TearJerker though.
248** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S80xJ0fLP5k Viollet Orden]]" by artist Precious Sounds of the circle Croak Not Rue takes the already awesome "Necrofantasia" and turns it into an epic score that wouldn't be out of place in a World War II movie.
249** Neutral gives us this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS2ZmJ4hL7k very awesome orchestral version]] of "Necrofantasia".
250** WAVE's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKBzZZF9Lj4 Divine Purple]] is distilled and refined epicness.
251** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP3knRQYoRI Another orchestral version]], courtesy of Kitsune's Workshop.
252** maria♂polo of the circle NJK Record blasts out an awesome Eurobeat remix of Yukari's theme with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2bVK60Vk7k Dirty Sexy Girl]].
253** Ezel-Ash gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdiSmtKFJnw Dead Fantasia]], a very nice rock remix of Yukari's theme.
254** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKazxfHFl0I Sonic Hybrid Orchestra's version]] is a symphonic metal mix that is simultaneously beautiful and epic.
255** [[Music/{{Hatsunetsumikos}} hatsunetsumiko's]] stunning arrangement "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOwpvnlD2f0 Fragments of a Chronology]]" with its classic opening line.
256** Tutti Sound makes another appearance, with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD3ZA4Yk1HI brilliant orchestral version]] which runs rather quickly, at about the same pace as the original game music.
257** Music/YuuheiSatellite gives us the fast-paced [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyGjX5lhAv8 "Daphne Illusionary Song"]], complete with senya's ever-passionate vocals. The same circle also made a slower, yet still dynamic, rendition in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QqEvVhcuMI "Explosive Irony"]].
258** Arranged by Odyssey as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au5cB-eR76I "Deadly Fantasy"]].
259** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt-vqdHQVkw "Break The Chain"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1DjRRRSz0I "Break Into The Dark"]] from the ''Toho Eurobeat'' arrange albums.
260** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHEiY0rOQ2k Xi-on]]'s rock and piano rendition, which is used in [=minusT=]'s trailer for the epic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPAUkEKOyyM 3D version of Yukari's fight]].
261* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbaSQNjv6WM Sakura, Sakura ~ Japanize Dream...]]", PCB's credits theme, is unbelievably relaxing.
262** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9gQczvrRbc =NeutraL='s trance version]] will just carry you away.
263** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNCT4AZ0mUI Another piano arrange]], provided by, of all circles, Demetori. For a group that normally does rock/metal, it is a major change of pace for them and extremely well done.
264[[/folder]]
265
266[[folder:Immaterial and Missing Power]]
267* All the unique scenario tracks qualify. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1n5GJiqPPg Intermezzo]] is a rather atmospheric, nightly track. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9ur75pVI3M Wanderings]] is nostalgic and peaceful, inciting a sense as if meeting with an old friend. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpkL_0L1VMQ Swift Battle]] is fast-paced and jovial, though seems to betray something more. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9kD12BG58w Scarlet Night]] is dark and anxious, similar to the ''Castlevania'' games' style of music. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DsJRXb1Sk0 Unexpected Visitor]] is a playful, and ironically pleasant tune.
268* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puqupnx1vqo Demystify Feast]]", the Battle Theme for the 5th Story Mode fight.
269** Music/{{IOSYS}}'s vocals of it, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_FHaLI8Cd4 Club Ibuki in Break All]]" ''and'' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfqCw3kttfI The Feast Never Ends]]", as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD-QfOXdVEQ marasy8's piano rendition of it]].
270** ZUN's own remixes tends to be extremely close to the version that appeared in game. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ecmk3ZAYI Demystify Feast]]" is the exception and ''really'' benefits from it.
271** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHx7nYO2dAI Demystification Darkness]]" by WAVE is simply epic.
272** SOUND HOLIC's fast-paced "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIZA61figMc Psychedelic Onizakura Alliance]]", accompanied by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtvNU4hH_Gc its very own widget-y PV]]!
273%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJNmRRVgTak t=NODE's epic orchestral version]].
274%%What about it? This is zero-context as written.
275* Yukari's new theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNIPHL0Qy3Y Night Falls ~Evening Star]]", portrays her true personality even better, with its fast and frenetic tempo that hints of both playfulness and tension.
276** ''Concealed the Conclusion'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIxoUyjAY_c its own version]].
277** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59HqLaHEhJI Nozan ACT also did this awesome piece justice]].
278** Sound Holic takes this theme and the pre-battle theme "Swift Battle", mixes them, and gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TRkzOgFCNg this awesome vocal arrangement]].
279* Suika's pre-battle conversation theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12u_qIzo8jo Broken Moon]]" and stage theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzlrlsw9o2o Onigashima in the Fairyland ~ Missing Power]]".
280** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXlFbUOBK2c This combination of several of Suika's themes]] by [[=TAMusic=]] manages to bring out Suika's sadness at being forgotten by humans. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0UN8EO1aJA FlanGoY also did a decent flute solo arrange of Broken Moon]] that has the same emotional effect. Compare them with the more cheerful original version.
281** For maximum sadness, you want FELT's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uowUsh72czM CLONE/And Other]], or an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u713SIh2Hws erhu cover]] by Floating Cloud Acoustic Band.
282** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmk4utBxVVk End of Strong]]" is a rocked-out revisit to her theme. Onis go well with rock too~
283** Listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy7Y3Fel8_c Midnight March, WAVE's arrange of Suika's theme.]] Now ''that'' is '''epic'''.
284** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyYMeUY38pE Broken the Moon]]" by Xi of AQUAELIE speeds things up and adds 200% more merry drunken madness.
285** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIjqCUDNjUw Here's another]], again courtesy of Kitsune's Workshop.
286** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W9xoChwr8s The Hatsunetsu mix]] of "Broken Moon" (used as the opening for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnqV5uFZwkY Touhou Kinema-Kan]]") is another great vocal remix.
287** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZknxSBc8JI This two-for-one special]] by SOUND HOLIC is an exercise in contrasts, the first one an energetic piece straight out of ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', and the second tragic and majestic.
288** Music/YuuheiSatellite has their own vocalized remix in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0SdYTF0qlo Dramatic Show]]". The circle would revisit "Broken Moon" for Comiket 93 with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgucMUKogwY "The wish which wouldn't spill out"]], this time as a trance rock arrangement. For good measure, they included a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBO8T2PLrrY music video]] in the album.
289* We get new versions of previous themes. Have a listen to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avs0yOwJLKY Dance of Witches]]" (a remix of "Witches' Ball", see the "Seihou" section below), "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQeflIoz4v4 Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9JOkx0XFLM Voile, Magic Library]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9ftxyefKHQ Septette for the Dead Princess]]".
290* The credits theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP5_Q6qJg6s Oriental Memory of Forgathering Dream]]", is just awesome in every way (except for being so short). A relaxing version? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lojYaxwgLKE If you insist]].
291[[/folder]]
292
293[[folder:Imperishable Night]]
294* Even the ''menu themes'' can be - no, ''are'' pretty good. Case in point: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3suCyu4JBcs Eternal Night Vignette ~ Eastern Night]]", probably one of the most chilling menu themes you'll ever listen to.
295** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDAfE3dylg8 Floating Cloud Acoustic Band]] offer a stunning folk mix to open their debut CD.
296** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNmPmoVCNsc EastNewSound]] gives us a high energy techno version.
297* The wonderful Stage 1 music "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78mxBMKGIQo Illusionary Night ~ Ghostly Eyes]]".
298** Kissing the Mirror gives us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uKePfoynI4 Declare of Exception]]", an awesome power metal arrange of Wriggle's stage theme.
299** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOzW5wlMgK0 Eclipced]](sic). Par for the course when we're talking about Crow'sClaw, really.
300** Everfades took this theme and created the outstandingly beautiful Blue Tears Night, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbf4dSuZ1Ko with]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bobFBNe11c0 without]] [=TAMusic=]'s violin.
301** Then, there's the ever-excellent [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXPA1BgCU0M classical version]] by Yuki Mizuhashi.
302** Not to be outdone is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTake9WJ4-o classical orchestral arrange]] by Kitsune's workshop.
303** NJK Records gave it the Eurobeat treatment with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDIkBj0aVt8 "Twinkle Twinkle"]].
304* Wriggle gets things going with this Stage 1 Boss theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMK55G52g_s Stirring an Autumn Moon ~ Mooned Insect]]".
305** And there's Music/{{IOSYS}}' depressing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftCGrpM1kCM vocal arrange]], too...
306** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4kjWAZVXHo Here's a rock remix~]]
307** O-Life Japan gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHJzOJzSqtA a version]] that starts slow and soft that eventually builds to an epic climax.
308* The Stage 2 theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7R6QJMvmFY Song of the Night Sparrow ~ Night Bird]]" eloquently plays the idea that night time's burning and you gotta hurry. Also coincides with the tune that maybe Mystia is actually a very lonely bird who might've been trying to make friends and failed.
309* It seems only fitting that Mystia's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4y-pQb-UDA Deaf to all but the Song]]", contains such a fantastic melody.
310** And here's one of the (relatively speaking) few remixes of it, from dBu's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7l_Mh7MViE Eternal Nocturne]] album.
311** And here's SOUND HOLIC's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNHYmfuOP4Y Die Lorelei ~ eine Sage vom Rhein]]", a beautiful and awesome orchestral arrange of Mystia's theme.
312** WAVE give us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax1jdyeiqqk a version]] that is a combination of soothing and intense.
313** Honeypocket from A-One combines Mystia's themes in the ''Toho Eurobeat'' song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdy2pPcS-tU "Promise The Moonlight"]].
314* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bif5xgLR8Gk Nostalgic Blood of The East ~ Old World]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE8oQatw91U Plain Asia]]", Keine's stage and boss themes respectively, are often overlooked, which only serves to make the remixes all the more amazing, as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6JBCaShTW8 ARA]] demonstrates.
315** Want more proof? Try listening to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzRakY0oli0 this arrange of Plain Asia by Dark PHOENiX.]]
316** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOCEvBGF7GI This version]] of "Old World" by El Dorado is delightfully sinister.
317** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgOJb0hmLg8 This masterpiece by Tenmon]] will draw streams of tears from even the hardest of souls.
318** Need moar epic strings? Don't worry, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpF3ui740Nw TAM has you covered.]]
319** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSJrT83310A This]] version from the album ''Negligent Maximum tune !!'', '''Bloody Haven''', is a wonderful demonstration how the descriptors "techno", "electronic", "hardcore" and "trance" can fit into a single piece.
320** SHI's gorgeous piano creates [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9slJO2wYFM a version]] that can only be described as wonderfully soothing.
321** FELT's usual brand of stellar vocals and upbeat synth makes a masterpiece with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzBbpCcLzq8 Runway Drive]].
322** Music/YuuheiSatellite's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtSJUR14C3Q "Labyrinth"]] doesn't trail far behind, either.
323** On A-One's ''Toho Eurobeat Vol.2'', Elementas and 3L have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSH0ysUthzg "Come Back To Me"]].
324** ''Toho Eurobeat Vol.5'' has a twofer; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z23NJSWFroA "Still in Love"]] by Akane in Japanese, and "Let it Be" by Shihori in English.
325** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQX-oors-CE piano and string arrangement]] from the album "Touhou Lullaby" takes the melody and slows it down with a relaxing if melancholic use of cello and violin.
326** As expected, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGkE7apZzuo Mega Zun's arrangement]] is the most authentic 8-bit version you could ask for. The melody works quite well, almost as if this was the original.
327* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBde0Kz-Bcc Maiden's Capriccio ~ Dream Battle]]" Reimu's theme from the days of yore, making a come-back among the fandom. Very intense feeling, and an amazing piano line.
328** AQUAELIE makes the theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH9W2NOqCOg even more awesome]].
329** Music/{{IOSYS}} gives us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OYyhunIymw Neko Miko Reimu]]", which is just too damned cute for words.
330*** Want even cuter? Try [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVtTNN8jJXU the videoclip]].
331** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPLI-DNd6Vk Try it orchestrated]]. As one [=YouTube=] commenter put it: "This is spectacular. After sitting and listening ''Touhou'' covers all day, you get to this one, and Reimu comes along to remind us, gently, 'I am the heroine. Why? Because THIS MUSIC.'"
332** WAVE's remix of this track is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zE8WamQFGY EVEN MORE EPIC!]].
333** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUdMu766WoM Here's what it would sound like]] in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver]]''.
334** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLS_VKbay7U Minami's "RED DREAMER"]] arrange in {{Music/IOSYS}}'s albums is an amazing take on Reimu's theme and must simply be experienced.
335** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbBE58tMjeo dBu's remix]] is quite awesome, as it covers the themes of both protagonists. Marisa's half even includes the sound of a Master Spark being fired at one point.
336** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-dmFTFLe2M And now]] for something different - an electrifying big room house arrangement.
337* Throw in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6L6E7TLy10 Love-coloured Master Spark]]" for Marisa too.
338** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKjFB1DneM4 Twilight Symphony]] remix slows the tempo down, adds an orchestra and ominous vocals, and overall causes dangerous levels of Epic.
339** And then there's Music/{{IOSYS}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTIeKh41Ol4 I Am Marisa]], which is incredibly badass.
340** And Music/{{IOSYS}} takes back the crown with another remix of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eKfUXEmwFY I Am Marisa]]".
341** Also from Music/{{IOSYS}}, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUJQUed063Y I've Developed Precious Feelings for Alice]]". And if anyone has the time, please [[http://www.mediafire.com/i/?qh2d2m5d8wz2b2u translate and/or transcribe]] it.
342** IRON ATTACK delivers the HotBlooded awesome with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GZN5N3jNso Sparking]].
343** What happens when you take Beatmario and Amane from COOL&CREATE ''and'' Morrigan from WAVE and have them work on a song ''together''? You get "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lla34t2JjNo Endless Dream]]", a remix of both Reimu and Marisa's themes which simply cannot be described in human words.
344** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3QJT12EbQo Morrigan's masterpiece version]] is exhilarating, sinister, powerful, almost religious, and epic beyond reason. It could even exceed his "Border of Life" arrange.
345** Demetori gives us an excellent metal version with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Ob1sWrfSM Final Sorcery]].
346** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuOl-C0yI90 Sensitive Heart's version]], while not as fast as the other remixes, remains very upbeat and makes you want to dance.
347** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVI72OZjZ1Q "Magical Girl"]], another Eurobeat remix by Odyssey.
348** A-One has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qkkjuJujYk "Endless Sleepless Night"]] by (V)・∀・(V)(Kanipan) on ''Toho Eurobeat Vol. 1'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUO5etZWbYM "Kakehiki"]] by Nagisa & Axel K. on ''Vol. 5''.
349* Stage 4's own theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8j31aF4mrc Retribution for the Eternal Night ~ Imperishable Night]]". While the first thing you'll notice is that it's a mix of the title theme with a few quarts of adrenaline added, you'll soon find yourself getting restless and impatient as you speed through the forest, blasting through the cannon-fodder fairies. As the music swells to levels usually reserved for 6th or Extra stages, you will know that only a ''real'' boss can follow this stage up. Then, as the song climaxes, the screen flashes white, all hindrances vanishing - cue the youkai laughter at the end of the music's loop, followed by the boss flying in. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7tk-v-3MoU Here's a remake that sounds identical to the original]]. The difference? It was made on a synthesiser that ''doesn't have all the necessary instruments''.
350* The stage 5 theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bOia1EgdQA Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome-Kagome]]" is so good it's often considered Tewi's definitive theme song over her dedicated tune from ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View''.
351** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFRq4DxqaMo This video with Tewi]] from a Sekken-ya song.
352** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_V8x4rHZMQ This metal arrangement]] also deserves mention.
353** As does [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwJ7lCk924c this piano arrangement]].
354** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkSeuKkceio Another Morrigan masterpiece]], giving the mischievous little rabbit's theme a dose of the spectacular.
355** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4E-XaWI-K4 War in Cage]] is a hardcore arrange of her theme by moro. And it's awesome.
356** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4J8lQ3z3Qs dBu makes a combo hit combining Kagome Kagome with Lord Usa's Elemental Flag]]. Such an upbeat mix just can't be missed.
357* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY_KORpQPdI Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon]]" (Reisen's theme) has a beautiful high note.
358** Try [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPaI-vRO0FI two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCHmfcgvr24 fantastic]] piano arranges.
359** IOSYS do a very crazy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc8GNaED3Ok remix]]...then remix it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7JX-EK2vRs AGAIN]]. It gets scary. Who knew Reisen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g469O2TB8FU was a party girl?]]
360** You think ''that's'' crazy? Well, listen to ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkCcWf2g6g4 this.]]'' Manipulator of insanity, indeed.
361** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB8KdaS5bYI Here's]] a soothing arrange.
362** SYNC ARTS gives us the wonderful vocal arrangement "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMK31VMUgGE Rendezvous]]".
363** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8gSynZkSEM This remix from Tutti Sound]] starts as a fairly loose, if excellent, take on Reisen's stage theme, but then it builds to that riff from "Lunatic Eyes..."
364* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptQHyJiZM_g Voyage 1969 - Illusion of Space]]" for TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon JustForFun/InSpace.
365** And its in-game remix, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywuUt98V_S4 Voyage 1970]]".
366** There's a mix of Voyage 1969-1970 and Cinderella Cage that is either awesome/epic or crazy/insane depending how you see it. The name's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VoDpo82pkg "Voyage into a cage..."]] . Decide [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcjjBU-iNA0 it]] for yourselves.
367** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q1ug5OjgKg More fantastic piano]].
368** Strap yourselves in, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF-kfnyHXVc dBu]] is gonna take you to space with some exhilarating electronica.
369** Music/YuuheiSatellite created a phenomenal remix with the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN6Njdla2ds "Iron Rain".]]
370* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAy3nlATLkk Gensokyo Millenium ~ History of the Moon]]" (Eirin's theme); This is just epic in every way.
371** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqp0eDcKZ70 Guess what do you get when you add orchestral instrumentation and metal on top of an already epic piece?]]
372** Guess what happens when you let WAVE make this already epic song ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzRG73RC9pI even more epic?]]''
373** "History of the Moon" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88vtrrqqVEw works really damn well with classical instruments]], doesn't it?
374** Indeed. So well, in fact, that WAVE decided to do ''another'' classical remix of "History of the Moon". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3SJW89rOZI Enjoy]].
375** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C71MBN3djvY Try this metal version on for size.]]
376** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfoyFvvJaZM Xi-on's metal version is out of this world.]]
377** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6hiaAUNJT4 Tutti Sound's magnificence]] requires no preamble.
378** Music/YuuheiSatellite gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0eNMsHuk0g "Love Replica"]].
379** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxRJLxEWQqA Try on the Tuuten metal version]] for more epicness.
380** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVCWspGDyLw&list=PLB1188EB31ECCB7E0 Ever heard of Unchiku Company?]] No? You should. All of their arranges are beautiful in many ways.
381* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw2WQjqKpVM Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess]]" Kaguya's theme too. Aw heck, nearly every boss theme qualifies for this.
382** For a gentle, emotional, and maybe a little bittersweet take, look no further than FELT's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBHrXIaH_Xc Under Cloud]]. Great vocals, or greatest vocals?
383** Kaguya's theme also brings us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8rs5fSvKO0 this ear worm.]] HELP ME, EIRINNNNNNNNNNNNN! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaMC1A_ZMW0 And then Cranky remixed it.]]
384** IOSYS gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfqnAOKakb4 The Hourai Jewel, Ever Beautiful]]. On the flip side of the tape is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8P7XF7dEmc The Hourai Jewel, Ever Beautiful[B] ]], which remixes Kaguya's Theme with Voyage 1970.
385** Not to mention a down right fantastic remix by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFbMV2qEvVc S.S.H.]]
386** Gentlemen. GENTLEMEN. Morrigan is back, and gives us the epic and awesome "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN0ohYkqaQ0 Luna Forest]]".
387** Tutti Sound, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdEtf0t0nvk being epic as usual]], make "Lunatic Princess" even more beautiful and majestic.
388** senya of Music/YuuheiSatellite brings about the soaringly powerful "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBiipnAGyvk Riot of Flowers]]".
389** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXdGO4stisc "Bamboo Dance"]], the Eurobeat version by DJ Command & Shihori.
390** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHaV2rJfHuI Odyssey's version,]] showcasing the hatred of Mokou to the lunar queen. "Oh, I'm sorry, a princess, haven't quite earned your way?"
391** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCz7dtYgT_4 A folk metal arrangement]] from Frontier Records.
392** 2º gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8NyugdzRmE a high-intensity rave mix]].
393* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETTk83qis0w Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke]]" (Mokou's theme); Very good dynamic to it.
394** Mokou [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auYma2tRjz8 has]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__XM3KFKGDQ a GREAT]] theme.
395** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvZnOlr1loA Mokou REALLY hates Kaguya, huh...]] yep.
396** Morrigan gives us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhDNC12hWKc Timeless Mind]]" Now ''this'' is ''glorious''.
397** IRON ATTACK gives Mokou a well-deserved [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh1uZtWq0H0 metal treatment]].
398** Dark Phoenix, aside from being appropriately named, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dGJKh9hLTs gives us a version]] that can only be described as "hot damn!".
399** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LukfVvFwKHk More Mokou metal by CROW'S CLAW]] is just what the Lunarian doctor ordered.
400* Mokou's stage theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNVg2qaAtnI Extend Ash ~ Hourai Victim]]", is even better.
401** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHmQFSh2S-g Extend Ash, Hammer Remix]].
402** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDu2ARGGHVM One last Morrigan eargasm]], this time tragic and relentless.
403** Music/YuuheiSatellite mixes both Mokou's theme and Extend Ash, giving us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcbKuPigc6w Utakata, Ai no Mahoroba]]" for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk6jkxgt7pg the 4th PV of Fantasy Kaleidoscope.]]
404** Meanwhile, [=EastNewSound=] brings us the techno-vocal arrange [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsVdanKuLEg Step-by-Step]], which is one of the most ''amazing'' arranges of Mokou's stage theme EVER.
405** A-ONE takes this stage theme, combines it with Mokou's boss theme, then turns the blend into an eurobeat duet to give us the aptly named [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62lpLoCX4aI "Drive Your Fire"]]. Warning: do not listen to this while driving, lest you go on an ''Manga/InitialD'' spree.
406* The ending theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L11-0g70uzc Evening Primrose]]".
407* The Last Word theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCS42csSTbk Eastern Youkai Beauty]]".
408** Music/{{IOSYS}} has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms3vTwhI0zs Darkness and Light]], an epic piece truly fitting for what the original song is for: all the various characters in the game throwing out some of the hardest danmaku they can manage.
409[[/folder]]
410
411[[folder:Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]
412* Just about every returning character from the previous ''Touhou'' games gets an upgraded theme. Among them...
413** Reimu starts us off right with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StnyX4_PfPk Spring Lane - Colorful Path]]".
414Jillian Aversa provides her voice for the remix "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efoJZrh8T84 Never Ending Night]]".
415** Marisa gets a little darker with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_tHBBPVmY4 Oriental Dark Flight]]".
416** Sakuya returns with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-SI-nJIR0 Flowering Night]]".
417*** There's ''also'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWTPwiLNfnM Ezel-Ash's]] take on it, in addition to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrBQVBW0Pow WAVE's perfect and elegant arrange]].
418*** For bonus points, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS_a8Edde8k Night of Nights]]", the extremely catchy remix by [=BeatMario=] from [=COOl&CREATE=]. (It even has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI3V0vwrZqg arranges and remixes]] itself!)
419*** RED [=ALiCE=]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGjH-ODtcYc Iolite]] version, although Haru's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkIWKBH6clk instrumental version]] is rather out of this world as well.
420*** Sekken-Ya proving again that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTzb8Fjoj_8 maids go well with rock]]
421*** The Floating Cloud Acostic Band turned it into the dreamy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKspG7OWJ7Q Flower Village]].
422*** [=EastNewSound=]'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExoTWuJodwg Black Lotus]]" doesn't disappoint, either.
423** Cirno's theme gets an upgrade with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_ctBy7syMk Adventures of the Lovestruck Tomboy]]".
424** Mystia rocks out with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBPQb9dj7LQ Deaf to All But the Song - Flower Mix]]".
425** And then DJ Command and Koshida "Rute" Takahito rock out some more with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgqlEIEB3WQ "Call of Truth"]].
426* Tewi gets a voice and her own happy tune of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUU60xes21w Lord Usa's Elemental Flag]]".
427* Aya brings her theme song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmlXXPVxQ3Q Wind God Girl]]" to the table.
428** Hellion Sounds' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UvPqO8Eq_w remix]] rocks the socks off of any others.
429** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOeYY3-5vOU The Fastest Highest Shutter Girl]]" by COOL&CREATE is made of HotBlooded awesome.
430** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_miv-iO5oyw Nazz-can]] turned this theme into something for which the term '''Epic''' is most fitting.
431--->'''Youtube Comment''': Airship Shameimaru, launch!
432** Innocent Key turned Aya's theme into "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DU3ia3Oz60 ~The Perverted Tengu and the Maidens of Tragedy~]]", a musical drama that is epic in every sense of the word.
433** Demetori's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uisP4EiYaTI speedy remix.]]
434** IOSYS's first Touhou arrange song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aph5VA5nK34 Phantasmagoria Mystical Expectation]]".
435** The [=NicoNico=] Orchestra version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH_pkgAqVQc is pretty darn good, too.]]
436** [=Forest306=] takes us on a journey to the heart of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhnQ4u5KScE Old West]].
437* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYBJDVqdQJQ Poison Body ~ Forsaken Doll]]" Medicine Melancholy's theme, a quite dramatic number for a somewhat underrated Touhou character.
438** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2lMcHdTKtA This]] mashup of Medicine's theme with the ''Nutcracker Suite'', by Riva of TATAMI STUGIWO, puts a whole new spin on the little poison doll.
439** And in case you wanted an epic and dramatic arrange of Medicine's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rncb0AEaj3o WAVE has you covered]].
440* Yuka's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44XWB99ts8E Gensokyo, Past and Present ~ Flower Land]]", has a sort of nostalgic feeling to it -- perfect for a returning PC-98 character like her!
441** The vocal version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE8QRqqtej4 Taiyou no Hana/Fragrance of Oriental Sunflower]] by IOSYS is sufficiently epic, not at all hindered by the visuals.
442** Yuka also has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMi0oUgN57E Cytokine]].
443** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeS_0BbqQOQ WAVE yet again]], this time with a simply ''breath-taking'' flute.
444** O-Life Japan gave Yuuka this rather [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W379-le3ta4 magical sounding remix]].
445** Hikari Syuyo gives us the laid back rock remix "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFub2eUoD48 Good Days, Bad Days]]".
446** Active [=NEET=]s' orchestra turns this track into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVJqQ2oXwwI a grandiose waltz]] to dance to.
447* Komachi's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rylkEGKcuQs Higan Retour ~ Riverside View]]".
448** The ''Concealed the Conclusion'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YhYMg64f6s version]] outdoes it by far.
449** Both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgts9nCYPFo TAMusic]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNdDx40ndmA Alternative]] each provide a gorgeous version.
450** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnxGCzf7-lw Demetori]] arrived.
451** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN7tUJcQry8 WAVE]] did a remix.
452** For a change in pace, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NmRmI1rOew a peaceful vocal version]] by Riverside.
453** Music/YuuheiSatellite gives us [[https://soundcloud.com/akhnaf-naufal-taufiqurrahman/yuuhei-satellite-higanbana this vocalized trance remix]]. They would later remix it again as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQNkXOgRvUU "Guided by The Voice of My Soul"]]; unlike the previous remix, which was confined to a compilation album, this one serves as ''WebAnimation/FantasyKaleidoscope'''s ending credits song for Episode 6, which aptly focuses on Komachi and Eiki Shiki.
454* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3-1Npq3XTw Mound of Life]]", a simple pre-battle theme, is essentially a prelude to the awesomeness that is the Yama of Xanadu's theme music. Demetori takes a break from the heavy metal to bring us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhSsupCu8Dw Unnamed Scenery]]", a mesmerizing acoustic arrange that's relaxing, but with a hint of uneasy anticipation for what is to come.
455* Eiki Shiki brings along the awesome "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csv5j92woHk Judgement in the Sixtieth Year - Fate of Sixty Years]]".
456** WAVE strikes again, Bringing us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ueuvbdp05MA T, 1948,12 Yama of Xanadu]]", an awesomely epic arrange of Eiki Shiki's theme nothing short of majestic and quite fitting for Gensokyo's resident judge of the dead.
457** AQUAELIE gives us this awesomely epic remix, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZD9YomwdUA Rapidity is a justice]]".
458** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZhyuxrleDc S.S.H. has remixed it as well]].
459** Music/{{IOSYS}} has just recently brought us what might be their most epic song ever, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsBgCYL9Dn8 Danzai Yamaxanadu.]] The Yama is gangsta!
460** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMR3ixJxnJ8 Starlight Vision]]" from Alstroemeria Records is a much gentler vocal remix, something soft and wistful.
461** Music/YuuheiSatellite's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXCI8vJTjqA Beauties of Nature]]", whose lyrics reflect on the one constant that remains in an ever-changing world, is appropriately used for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqfMWuzqEwQ the third PV of Fantasy Kaleidoscope]] which focuses on the characters of ''[=PoFV=]''. A collaboration with Active [=NEETs=]' symphony would produce [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnh_BF9vMVg an even more majestic arrangement]].
462--->If anything in this world is immutable, it's the beauties of nature [...]
463** Almost as, if not more epic in its own way than WAVE's remix is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGqlEL9WQW0 this arrange done by Noc]]. It's just great.
464** From Prismriver Orchestra over on Website/YouTube, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Bw-wT_ha0 we get this amazing orchestral rendition]] of Yama-sama's theme.
465* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGmAWyxQewE The Flower Like The Fantasy]]", the ending theme.
466* And finally, the credits theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoo4K2Z_F-Y Flower of Soul ~ Another Dream...]]

468
469[[folder:Shoot The Bullet]]
470* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0jsj_c5ejQ Retrospective Kyoto]]", the fourth stage theme, is one of the few songs that stands out from ''Shoot The Bullet''.
471** Again, [=TAMusic=] delivers not only a great [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XeWPucHWls solo piano]], but even an outstanding [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtsKQFS-KA4 piano + violin duet]] arrange. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMAn60m_NwU And another]].
472** WAVE's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCvHwiEcBOs full orchestral]] rendition is beyond words.
473** Before they became known for the ''Manga/HighSchoolOfTheDead'' intro, Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets did doujin songs including a lot of Touhou. Their remix of this one? "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9RrqFiafn0 Akeboshi Rocket]]".
474** SWING HOLIC scores again with the mellow smooth jazz sound of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iXlm84oIF0 Blue Rain in Kyoto]]".
475* The third stage theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk1HaitwekI Sleepless Night of the Eatern Country]]". The upbeat tempo certainly provides a contrast to a game with mostly serious or melancholy tones.
476* If you wanna be prepared to take photos to the ''Touhou'' characters, there's the first stage theme: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yjXKW5sRxc Wind Circulation ~ Wind Tour]]".
