[[folder:The supplementary material]]
* To begin this section, enjoy "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn3GPjhtYJ8 Kid's Festival ~ Innocent Treasures]]", widely considered to be ZUN's own theme song.
** And, of course, WAVE cranks the awesomeness up once again and manages to make it ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H4L6erM9Ew even more awesome]]''. And four years later Morrigan goes ahead and makes his seventh arrange of it, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnircymksQ4 possibly the most epic yet]]''.
** Try a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nahnRPU3OwM rocking version]]. It takes about 45 seconds for the epic to arrive.
** And Music/{{IOSYS}} turns this theme into quite possibly the most HotBlooded drinking song ever with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrhYSOd9Xns B-E-E-R]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Lu8a5HHwM A fantastic piano version]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5UNd4xMPbg "TOUHOU BANZAI! TOUHOU BANZAI!"]]
** Active [=NEETs=] reworked the track to incorporate [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXVK_Od9dyE an entire orchestra, complete with a powerful male chorus]].
** ZUN's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sGgffiuFXY wedding theme]]'' is a beautiful chorus of fans coming together to thank him for creating the series and congratulate his marriage.
** Touhou Rhythm Carnival gives us a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw62-7D4tdw swinging, jazz rendition fitting for the final stage of the game.]]
** Have a [[http://youtu.be/_Udvf598Iic funky-folk instrumental arrange]].
* From the same collection - "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRBEWWPzQiM Phantasm Machine ~ Phantom Factory]]".
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doHqeld0CUM Greenwich in the Sky]]", from ''Magical Astronomy'', an album devoted to Maribel and Renko, is something you have ''got'' to hear for yourself.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNaNGU7Zmnw FlanGoY]] does it justice; then, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4Olx-oU1M8 this jazzy number]] from the album ''Time Limit~Eternity~''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnApg1EayBU This]] is a wonderful remix.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SFyBCEim8g O-Life Japan]] delivers ''yet'' again, with a high-energy rendition.
** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFGhPT_FhNY here]] is a supremely energetic vocal version.
** How about a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqe6y0auGco cello arrangement?]]
* Also from ''Magical Astronomy'', you have "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kib9js55W-w G Free]]". This piece is probably more known for it's rearrangement and usage as the rather dramatic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osDEp_09ju0 Final Boss theme]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-osvQJwRGk Final Spell Card theme]] of ''VideoGame/ConcealedTheConclusion'' (with no small part of "Eternal Shrine Maiden" mixed in as well). An [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr_061ahRms orchestral version]] of "G Free" sure doesn't hurt.
* Yet another ''Magical Astronomy'' masterpiece, helpfully titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgSuRDXSywY Celestial Wizardry ~ Magical Astronomy]]". Crazy Berry delivers well with their [[http://youtu.be/DdqoajJGMHQ vocal cover]], with a little bit of G Free thrown in for good measure.
* ''Magical Astronomy'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU2y5FZiDRM Welcome to the Moon Tour]] is a powerful start to the CD. It has also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnR0e16xZFw received a very well-made PC-98 cover by pedipanol.]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6I1E5NfGzU Youkai Space Travel]]", a FM-synth tune from the ''Silent Sinner in Blue'' bonus CD, is a well-hidden gem.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW-L10cay4w =NeutraL='s incredible orchestral arrangement]] is worthy to be considered a theme song for [=SSiB=] as a whole.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU8_j24dm0M Watatsuki's Spell Card ~ Lunatic Blue]]" from the same disc, and [=NeutraL=]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz_9WIvETJA remix]] of such.
*** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMYopgRKw8 Aquastyle remix]] sounds like it's straight from the ''[[VideoGame/ExaPico Ar tonelico]]'' series.
*** The remix "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGqNzjVDiOw Disaster]]" by Secret Messenger.
*** For extra ass kicking points there is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auETrUnxi4o the arrange]] from ''VideoGame/GensouShoujoTaisen''.
* ''Magical Astronomy''[='=]s ninth track, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bku_wFW8nPo "Necrofantasia"]], builds on Yukari's original theme by transitioning the second loop's key around the 3:33 mark into Ran's "A Maiden's Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro Fantasy".
* Similarly, from the second ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'' CD comes the beautiful "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K0Ty9DO2PU The Refrain of the Lovely Great War]]".
* And "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06oVkEKMvvU The Strange Everyday Life of the Flying Shrine Maiden]]" from ''Dolls in Pseudo Paradise'' is just plain awesome.
* ''Dolls in Pseudo Paradise'' isn't as liked as the other music collections, however its version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMIHOoGaayQ "Eternal Shrine Maiden"]] is simply beautiful.
* From ''Dolls in Pseudo Paradise'', the tearjerking "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgyIpysqOxE Legend of Hourai]]". Have some tissues ready just in case.
* From ''Ghostly Field Club'', the largely ignored and completely fantastic "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHgxvy68o7Q Mary, the Magician]]". The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhbaBMe42Vg piano version]] is pretty good, too.
* Another from ''Ghostly Field Club'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuMdaylAo_w Girls' Sealing Club.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JxNKn6yDxQ Ancient Temple of the Netherworld.]] Pizuya's Cell delivers some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0036doXdGM downright badass Metalstep once more]].
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTa_6FRahX0 Blue Sea of 53 Minutes]]" needs little introduction. It was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mziE9ScZy9A remixed]] for the ''VideoGame/ConcealedTheConclusion'' fangame, where it's used to heartbreaking effect. And of course once [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n3T849_R_U TAM gets his hands on it]] the song becomes one of the saddest, most [[{{Tearjerker}} tear-jerking]] things ever.
** One Youtuber made a piano arrange that is as slow as it is ''[[http://youtu.be/zyVEM_tVmK0 beautiful]]''.
** The original piece the above was transcribed and subtly remixed from [[http://youtu.be/C5AziJpmF88 isn't that bad either]].
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-OvejWVzcQ The Purest Sky and Sea]]" is calming, but also tinged with melancholy. Again, ''VideoGame/ConcealedTheConclusion'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgQRTxhOwUM used it well]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7QuvoMAPNE Apparently, they are in Hawaii.]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvXMicfIr8Q Border Between Dream and Reality]]". Around 1:38, the piano can really blow you away.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np1divim63I Flower of Past Days ~ Fairy of Flower]]". This track was originally designed to be used in Touhou 7 ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom, but ZUN, for some reason, didn't use it. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlXeMpRcAzI Some badass Metalstep]] delivered once more by Pizuya's Cell.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKsim1YvIao Illusionary Eternal Festival]]", the last track of ''Ghostly Field Club''.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq6gMC_5OlM A Maiden's Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro-Fantasy]]", from ''Ghostly Field Club''.
* From the ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'' CD: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAjxo_yB9ek Sunny Milk's Scarlet Mist Incident]]" which could affectionately be referred to as "UN Owen Was Sunny Milk?".
* Also from the ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'' CD is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axr8OyC2iIg Star Voyage 2008]]", an almost completely mesmerizing tune as if you are traveling amongst the stars.
* Many songs from ZUN's new album, [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Trojan_Green_Asteroid Ruins of Torifune ~ Trojan Green Asteroid]] counts, among them are Satellite Torifune, Ame-no-Torifune Shrine, Barrier of Ame-no-Torifune Shrine, a remix of Hartmann's Youkai Girl, and The Gensokyo That Floats in Outer Space. Unfortunately, ZUN's took down the videos since it's not derivative works. [[note]]Along with Unknown Flower Mesmerizing Journey's too. Well, he IS selling an album there, so it can't be helped[[/note]]. And the piano version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7foawccA4Yg The Gensokyo That Floats in Outer Space]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itNZxe1WaM8 Magician's Melancholy]] from the Grimoire of Marisa.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPFCtVHthSs Japanese Saga]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05uWWAXo55c Child of Are]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9mf72VqoO0 Fly above Hatoyama at night - Power MIX]]" from Perfect Memento in Strict Sense.
** IOSYS provides a beautiful remix by combining the three above into "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuKm7Rzj7dQ Until the end of History]]". Anyone familiar with ''VideoGame/{{Fraxy}}'' probably recognises this one.
** ButaOtome delivers a stunning rock rendition in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPxepGHgjJc Winter Lament]]. They also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fY5yq2kUTs combine it]] with Eternal Shrine Maiden and Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly with lovely results.
** From RD-Sounds comes a hauntingly beautiful and sad [[http://youtu.be/pNWdXcxYTv8 vocal rendition]] that puts Child of Are with Theme of Eastern Story together. All in a song that implores Akyuu's listener to cherish their memories and ''not forget her as she passes away.''
* The entire ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzdQcm51guT8Wljks6-D00J8qEEIs3ZEy ZUN's Strange Works]]'' album is awesome, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijniBZWR5D0 Magician of the Evening Darkness]] just for starters.
* From [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Neo-traditionalism_of_Japan Neo-traditionalism of Japan]], a longer arrange of [[https://youtu.be/ndj-kxQsC1A Eastern Judgement in the Sixtieth Year ~ Fate of Sixty Years]] which greatly improves upon the original song.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The ''whole libraries'' of albums overflowing with fanworks]]
* 5150 are a supergroup of Touhou fan-musicians who deliberately try to invoke the style of Music/JAMProject with their works. More often than not, they succeed. Case in point, their arrange of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa16TY7lmvM the IaMP and SWR staff roll themes]].
* A group behind several songs probably more well known than their actual circle name, Hatsunetsumiko is a lovely circle that provided the majority of the music used [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5OKfayGsQ in]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Huwjrjm79eY Touhou]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R9dU6DBwcA Kinema]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC4FweExMRs Kan]]. As good as these songs are however, this circle has many other songs that are well [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzJPsh5D9I8 worth]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tph7yzGepsk a]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OIA5M55-s listen]].
* [[http://thepoltergeistmansion.wordpress.com/ The Poltergeist Mansion]], a site devoted to all of the best arranges and mixes. The full collection of their uploads can be found [[http://www.macmaxi.byethost22.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=30 here.]] Chaos Angel's [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ChaosAngel209 "Lunasa"]] playlist covers Metal/Progressive Rock arranges and mixes, Emiya's [[https://www.youtube.com/user/KakashiMr "Merlin"]] playlist covers Classical arranges and mixes, and Moomaria's [[https://www.youtube.com/user/moomar2 "Lyrica"]] playlist covers Techno/Trance arranges and mixes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WadpQXFbIIY This]] remix known as Hakurei Shrine Neighborhood Association Marching Song should be ranked among the top remixes in all of Touhou, along with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHe-gtjHwVU these]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdVZ_xCAm7A three]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viPZZYYTSIY remixes]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvLlNZ_gVSo Remilia@Full-moon]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL871Wbi1oc Sunshine, Catshine]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gAu7tAHWlI Border of Death]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVAcl2o-lTw Artificial Children]], as well as the previously-mentioned ''Heartful Neko-romancer''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbXZ1BJEJzM Give Praise Unto Me, and Celebrate My Miracles]] is a truly rocking remix of Kanako's stage theme with her boss theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPF6IXAE_1k Anything]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pXTPCEqMHI covered by]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itClDyhsxZo marasy8]] is ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXesnjgCWu4 awesome]]''. The guy's so good, he's probably no longer human and has most likely become a Pianist youkai! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khmjXA1Ye2o More]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=223_K43iILM awesome]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTto6GmRPeI by]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GohuFvnGT7k marasy]]. Seriously, just ''amazing''.
* While Yellow Zebra's vocal remix work may not as well known as, say, Music/{{IOSYS}}, they do remarkable, infectious, dare we say radio-ready takes on Touhou. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE6Pu1lpz8w Ayakaze]] (remix of Wind God Girl), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6ZCUKEQr_4 Scarlet Moon]] (remix of UN Owen Was Her?), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI-mu55SyyI I Know]] (remix of Locked Girl), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LarIswMIv2g Melody!]] (remix of Phantom Ensemble) are pretty good places to start for their work. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2v43GX-k-4 Star-Colored Night Sky]].
* It had to happen eventually... but someone had the genius idea of doing Touhou/Hip-Hop mashups. And somehow it WORKS. Between crossing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61FHqywA_XU Eminem with UN Owen]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9MIQu6iiFs Outkast with Flowering Night]], to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vy4osc9e3o Jay-Z AND Linkin Park with Withered Leaf]] amongst other things...well, it shows how versatile the songs can be.
** [[http://viotex.matrix.jp/ Linky for when the Youtube links go dead.]]
** There was a hip-hop version of Necro-Fantasy on Sound Sepher's "Cradle" album from waaaay back (pre-IN), so the idea isn't exactly new. The interesting thing is that the lyrics sound like they're partially borrowed from a Bemani track. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r5Yzf5wTV4 Necro-Fantasy]].
** There're also the RED ZONE mashups, [[http://youtu.be/bZPvQN_To4Y Scarlet Zone]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c5taT_vjM4 Youkai Zone]], which combines Red Zone with the Scarlet Sisters's and Koishi's themes.
* And if you think that Touhou music is good combined with other music, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW-IiRmCe-4 this combination of Meiling's theme and Suwako's theme]] shows it's even better when combined with ''itself.''
** A second case in point is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpmnCWfQ22o Are they U.N.Owens?]] a Touhou 6 boss rush of themes mixed with U N Owen.
** Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njKa_FTOYZA this]] chiptune-style medley of 12 songs, including "Native Faith", "UN Owen was Her?", "Septet for the Dead Princess", and "Flowering Night".
** How about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtdgkpVsGwg this classical remix of Kaguya's and Mokou's theme?]]? "The Battle of Eternity" indeed.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT8UI1NAmAE This particular mix of songs]] is awesome in itself, and defies words.
** The title says it all: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcD1XEGLrmM U.N. Hartmann was a Youkai girl?]]
** White Fall's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxl1VUYAnaM Unknown Girls]]" goes beyond the previous example and [[{{Pun}} adds something Nue]] to the mix.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMZWnr3bw3o This mix of Kanako's and Suwako's themes is amazing.]]
** [[http://youtu.be/4tzmFOIGqjI Cirno and Suwako arguing in sync = epic]]
** "[[http://rodie-the-nightblade.deviantart.com/art/UFO-Script-Heian-Crisis-192988023 Heian Crisis?! ~ Stellar Cross]]" combines Yumemi's theme with Nue's.
** How about ZUN's theme itself, combining with other top-tier Touhou themes, creating something [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBmmh9d02cg epic beyond mortal words]].
** [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5971953 This 6-minute medley]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2751hS1lYyI contains 92 Touhou songs!]]
** Once ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon TPP]]'' went into Season 2 with ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysTouhoumonAndMoemon'', Touhou music was inevitable. From The Church of The Helix Choir, [[https://churchofthehelixchoir.bandcamp.com/track/desire-touhou-mashup "Desire"]].
** [[Memes/TouhouProject Memers, behold -]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5DsqxzTxsY "Sakuya vs. Flandre - Night of Nights x Last Brutal Sister Flandre S".]]
* While we're at it, try some music from the ''Mystical Chain'' fangame: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jvq2i5tB10 here]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA6TUgbMjos here]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNMPVFxUv3g here]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzl6QVCZHdU here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UjUJGdmNyk here]]. Refined Grandiose at its finest.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFrKVl11qqE Final]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkGH305SjxU Boss]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9zCFVYQXzs Themes]].
** The music for Mystic Records/PC-98 Alice is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNDqjVTVKMo pretty]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMieEvhXiUs incredible]].
* Another notable ''Touhou'' fan-uploader is [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kkcwkoh kkcwkoh]].
** Here, have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9qTmQkA-eE some]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrWZw67L2VQ wonderful]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KykizhDjjM piano]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pbu4ufUvvY medleys]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaNjA30ZskY They]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fzgDc00v-U are]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-er5LzTYV3k simply]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4azNLx8t8I4 mesmerising]].
** While not as widely known as kkcwkoh, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/sedrife sedrife]] is quite good too. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uee-02umhhE Here's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkaJ40iI66s a]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7foawccA4Yg few]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgjozx465KY samples.]]
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC84A05EDBD40AB3F entire soundtrack]] of the fangame ''Concealed The Conclusion''.
* While there have been more than enough 8-bit style remixes, Hobby Atelier Carrot Wine does one better by creating a whole ''album'' of Mega Man-inspired remixes of the the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil themes plus extra. It's no small feat to make [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eQCeCqYzew Locked Girl]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt6QKeRem_w Doll Maker of Bucharest]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1TmH7jjb0Y Centennial Festival Magical Girls]] sound more dynamic than the originals, by DOWNGRADING THEM (in a purely and literally technical sense).
* Every [[WebAnimation/TouhouElectricWindInstrument EWI instrument theme]] made. Case in point - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrNVRMKHe7c Reincarnation]].
* Indy rock circle Saitama Saishuu Heiki, or S.S.H. for short, has done a number of Touhou remixes. In addition to the examples mentioned above, they've got a remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml1tYh6Wb7o Kaguya's theme Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess]], and a magnificent little piece called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0GeRKtz9Us Detroit Marisa City]].
-->'''Website/{{Youtube}} comment:''' Marisa stole the precious metal.
* Anything and everything by [[ThePowerOfRock CROW'S CLAW]]. Then again, they have songs called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_N1ra6vqII Kick Your Ass]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI3Qw7tGYl8 Parental Advisory Explicit Guitar]], so [[MundaneMadeAwesome they can make any music awesome.]] CROW'S CLAW specializes in ridiculously badass metal covers of video game music; in addition to a full three albums worth of Touhou stuff, he has two [[Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} Type Moon]] cover albums (the second version of "[[AwesomeMusic/FateStayNight Emiya]]", in particular, has to be heard to be believed) and one devoted to Franchise/FinalFantasy music. They are all awesome.
* Here is a great [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Go4h4MJBjM compilation of damn near every windows boss theme.]]
* On a more focused scale, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYwVePPGhIk this]] medley of the [=EoSD=] themes as made by hapi. Now with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH-W6oMn8LQ sequel]] using the themes from [=PCB=].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYlTG1-xNOU Western Phantasm]] compilation by Otachiden is a great 18-minute mix of most of the Shuusou Gyoku and Kioh Gyoku themes, as well as some more obscure works by ZUN.
* What if one combined Cirno's theme with one of the best musics of the Mother series? ''Touhou Mother'' did it: It's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gANxUG4p2Gc Cirno's Unfounded Revenge]], for the boss fight against FutureBadass Advent Cirno.
* Speaking of ''Advent Cirno'' - a group of artists got together to make an "[=OST=]" for the doujin, and as is appropriate blended ''Touhou'' themes with tunes from ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6WcTFm7G3o For]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9jpW0i6ZDc example]]...
* So there's a Franchise/MegaMan-style [[VideoGame/MegaMari fangame]] starring Marisa (and Alice)...and the music is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnx1J2KuPlM mind]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPzWdXQ7NLg blowingly]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzFscdp66tI awe]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX9BgECQw9U some]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gejbezJy4w Seriously]]. As long as we're unapologetically gushing, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTU5Udlv8ec the fortress stage 5 music]] is suitably epic for a final stage to cross.
* When people started making Pokemon hacks crossing the franchise over with Touhou, the music was bound to get remade as well. Here are some that stand out from the rest:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMs93Qwbnt0 U.N. Owen for certain FireRed hacks' Gym Leaders.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvf09B0tvL8 And before each fight with them, you hear Cosmic Mind.]]
** Other hacks go for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaFB-qBhS34 Fate of Sixty Years for the Leaders]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMXbPo6hWAw The Gensoukyou the Gods Loved for Routes 12, 13, and 14.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-GQpdxOqs8 The Grimoire of Alice for battles against Legendaries.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE15AKLAWiw NecroFantasia for FireRed's Champion.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU95GcbglSo Ultimate Truth for Lavender Town.]]
* The Japanese hardcore dance scene does quite a few remixes.
** By Minamotoya: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQjzZQY756M Flower Stream -Trancecore Mix-]]
** By [=REDALiCE=]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Nxbql3Ut8 Purple Storm]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euzYYLGvQT0 Six Nine]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twpAaBrjSug Feel of Feelings]]
** By Tsukasa: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YTtjca-qqU Drake]]
** By Thanatos: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S17-Ph1lk6Y Rumble Iciclefall]]
* The Castlevania-inspired fangame ''VideoGame/KoumajouDensetsu'' (Legend of the Scarlet Devil Castle), more colloquially called 'Touhouvania' (for obvious reasons) has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFNj0fAf_ZU some pretty good original music]]. And while it eschews remixes of existing Touhou songs, it DID get Chata to sing the opening theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zygpy-TlQz0 Kirisome no]]" "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqE85M31q3Q Amnesia]]" (second version with natural violins). Which apparently has become a leitmotif in the second game.
** The second game ups the ante with two more: Reimu's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kMBMWirDi8 boss theme]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3SDxoXSSEw true final boss theme]] vs. Remilia. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apb9I3pDVME Here]] is also the instrumental version of Rose Killing Carmilla.
** And the latest patch has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK-51zOVYNU Yukari's Phantasm theme]].
** Also worth a mention is the opening theme from the sequel, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raMgXwIxc3o Afraid]], also by Chata.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q441gfsvzKM Dark A Liar]] may be a funny name, but the (old) final boss theme for ''Labyrinth of Touhou'' is extremely awesome.
** Why the "old?" Because [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeBBRPIsqfc this music]] showed up on a special disc to take its place, an orchestral piece that is simultaneously epic and heartbreaking.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MLXjxRlcYY Ikusa JAPAN]]" may have been lifted from somewhere else, but will now forever be known as the theme music of [[TestosteronePoisoning MANnosuke]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbGHTe978YY Celluloid]] might just be a normal battle theme for the second half of the game or so, but it's a masterful mix of upbeat and rocky elements, absolutely guaranteed to get you going!
** And with the sequel, you have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxLD03D6Q5k this]] theme against 12th Floor Tenshi, showing you that this time they aren't holding back against you.
* A [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12223277 26-minute mix]] of every final stage boss themes as of 12.3, including PC-98 ones.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP-p1Q6ZqBQ Now on Youtube.]] -Patcheresu
** Also, from the same authou, there's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxJavbRAo-0 2-part]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlWh41U01Pc medley]] with the extra boss themes up to FW, with some other songs included, like the fan-phantasm themes from Mountain of Faith and Subterranean Animism.
* [[http://azuresound.bandcamp.com/ A-zure's techno remixes]] of many of the songs.
* Apparently, Touhou music sounds good when parodying Music/IronMaiden. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKcaK8kw2PI Yes]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Jesselejohn Jesselejohn]] has a collection of PC-98 and Seihou remasters and remaster-like remixes, some of which are linked on the other pages.
* The fangame ''Fantasy Explorer Nitroid'' by Desunoya includes awesome songs such as the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-kxa32Aj0s World 4 Theme]] and an amazing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te97aVgGFic Final Boss Theme]].
* IOSYS are known for doing odd, often memetic things to Touhou songs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAQ3Wk59zoM Here's one as a rap]]. A very competent, Japanese rap. Featuring Alice, Patchy, ''and'' Marisa.
* Demetori [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-WmpoP6ZSs has done]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWUFdP1cdcs a ton]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWBSHh2Sb7U of awesome]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UyvOv2zFp0 rock/metal]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui0X28Tqicc Touhou covers]], with the occasional [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYxIB0lTigk softer cover]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeMIemYy70E as well.]]
* Touhou Platform/PC98 speed arrange medley [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LEzQNibk-I here]], plus some bonus CD arranges!
* Youtube user [[https://www.youtube.com/user/HertzDevil HertzDevil]] has done a few covers of ''Touhou'' tracks in [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo19KheEjouW4_F19TEoM7Jqqg042_gyo PC-98]] style... But far more covers are part of the "MEGA ZUN" project. Despite the name, when Hertz says that he aims for "authenticity, accuracy, uniqueness and fullness," he speaks of staying true to the original songs rather than the MEGA MAN style. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR1y_18Tqtw Staking Your Life on a Prank]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFjRUIJUPfU Deaf to All but the Song]] will be provided as examples when this is for the better.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffRY4CiKjuk whole soundtrack]] for ''[[WebAnimation/TheSealedEsotericHistory Hifuu Club Activity Record ~The Sealed Esoteric History~]]'' features various gorgeous orchestral arrangements of familiar tracks done in an almost Music/HansZimmer style. Most fans most likely have never heard "Broken Moon" sound anything like "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ulo66cbO_b4 Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her]]".

[[folder:Songs in the style of ZUN]]
Things have gotten to the point where people have begun making songs in the vein of the ZUN style, some for fan games, some just for the hell of it. Choice examples:
* The [=FamilyMart=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQG1lzNdr5w jingle]] (which reached meme status with Japanese fandom).
* The ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' Hammer theme (which also reached meme status with Japanese Fandom with several mashups), done in typical [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOVv3eYpjvU Touhou style]].
* [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Rin Kagamine's]] signature theme, "MELTDOWN", is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odjx8G4qfDg given the ZUN treatment]] in spectacular fashion.
* Various fanmade stage and boss themes for Damakufu, such as "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DRVMAGPwpI The Kappa Way as Said ~ One Way Accelerator]]", Mitori's theme in the fan-made Phantasm Stage of ''Subterranean Animism''.
** Mitori's stage theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHATKEaix9k Leaf ponders the Flower, Flower ponders the Leaf]]".
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_INxELK24vQ Awakening Wolf's Instinct]]", Momiji's boss theme from the fan-made Phantasm stage to ''Mountain of Faith''. Gets used in a [[CatharsisFactor cathartic sense]] in the fangame ''Touhou Healing Nature'', during Ha Seoi's CharacterDevelopment, when she [[BigDamnHeroes saves the party]] when everyone was struggling to hold back the seemingly endless army of monsters, showing [[TookALevelInBadass just how much she's grown from when she was first introduced]].
** The fanmade Phantasm for UFO features an unexpectedly badass Nazrin, and the song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh8CkHG4nfU Outskirts of the Battle]]". And then another composer took another shot at it and managed to produce the musical equivalent of a ridiculously powerful mouse on crack backed by a carnival band who might also be on crack: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTJHld8BgOY Crafty Tiny Gray]]".
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEghlL4G8u8 Tonight's Rainfall]]", an EX-Stage theme for Daiyousei from the creator of many of the other ZUN-Alikes already on this list.
** With a fanmade Phantasm for Ten Desires comes the rowdy theme of Ibara Kasen, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcixxFWR5Mk Rumble Temple]]".
** And the stage theme, for good measures: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFf4B24DfOQ Divine Spirit's Evening Bell Road]]". Somewhere between understated and solemn, and jazz groove.
** The fanmade Phantasm stage script for Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ_Z1fa4FOc Dream Neil Express.]]
* Characters without stages also get their own themes: ''Hisoutensoku'''s fan-made final boss character Sasha Sashiromiya's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7s5DPxN3cg The Fake History of Black and Shadow ~ The Fake with High Quality]]", and Rin Satsuki's (the third player character cut from ''[=EoSD=]'') "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqVGHOrhsmw Cherry-Flavoured Justice ~ Descending Red]]" both deserve a mention.
* Kimiko Muffin, maker of ''Webcomic/TouhouNekokayou'', has [[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/?p=music some wonderful pieces]] to complement to series. "[[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/music.php?file=RNL-MeetMeimu.mp3 Aperture Girl]]" (Meimu's pre-battle theme), "[[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/music.php?file=RNL-Meimu.mp3 Edge of Spacetime ~ Navy-Blue Generation]]" (Meimu's main theme), and "[[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/music.php?file=CSA01-Yasora.mp3 Subterranean God ~ Sunfire]]" (Yasora Kojiwa's theme) stand out above the rest.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MtlYLZlMww Yasora's Theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQiVoc9vjR8 an Extension]].
** Masha isn't much of a fighter so her theme, "[[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/music.php?file=CSA01-Masha.mp3 Mushroom Land ~ Little Red Mushroom]]", is used as a credits theme. Still awesome, though.
** [[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/music.php?file=CSA02-Cottagesnagged.mp3 Cottagesnagged]], the eponymous main theme of the second CSA game.
** Cottagesnagged has also produced [[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/music/CSA02-BeginSacchin.mp3 Entry of the Young Shrine Maiden]] and [[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/music/CSA02-MagusDay.mp3 Magus Day]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEJUMd_8TqM Seven Sea Girl]], a theme for the fan-character Noriko, from the Walfas series, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW77dv3sas4 White Flower of Summer]]". It's a very good theme for a ningyou, both young and bittersweet.
* [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18928639 Here's]] one for the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fans. [[http://www.mmcafe.com/nico.html#http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18928639 (Alternate link if needed.)]]
* Someone [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lLRcPgMYJ4 turned the freaking Nokia tune into a Touhou song.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Songs from Touhou fangames]]
* The fangame ''Marine Benefit'' has a soundtrack consisting of original music in ZUN's style, with slightly altered instruments to give it an underwater feel, and it is ''amazing''. Practically the entire soundtrack deserves mention here. Some of the more noteworthy pieces:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mve6Q2saelQ Banquet of 200 Nautical Miles ~ Prayed Feast]], the stage 5 theme. A very relaxing theme that just gets more and more awe-inspiring as it progresses.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KHgtv0nOcE Could a Mermaid Dream of Being a Human?]] One of the most intense themes in the game, it suits the dancer mermaid Megumi Yaobi perfectly, and makes for a wonderful setting for her fight as both ThatOneBoss and a BestBossEver.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7iJtVY3cA0 Seven Flowers of the Deep Sea ~ Forgotten Benefit]], the final boss theme. Majestic and calming, well suited for the creator of life and mother of the sea Mikoto.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkFWF59BvRo Footprints of Trieste]], used for the extra stage. Epic and climactic in every way.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vC4Bg1slyo The Butterfly of Isaac the Traveler]], used for the extra stage boss, manages to be ominous and intense and tranquil all in the same track. Often considered the best theme in the game, which is ''really'' saying something. And that one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juqMZwXw_YE piano arrange]] by Lacren Monoto... only one.
* Another fangame: ''VideoGame/TheLastComer'' has a very good soundtrack as well; for example:
** Corin Charite's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MlIprj9wiM Philinion's Resurrection]], starting off with some reserved harpsichord that leads into dignified poise.
** The stage 3 theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fST7Lee0EI The Wise Men's Planetarium]], going to see the star-reaching wisewoman.
** The stage 4 theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaik9pTD_Lo Feast of Wicked Stars ~ Celestial Burst,]] some sort of ballad for meeting the other half of the (premature) final battle between good and evil. Naturally, incredibly beautiful.
** Mumumu Mikaboshi's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCs3QqPwLDk The Morning Star that Hides Tomorrow's Morning]], for the dark princess who fell from grace. Incidentally, the staff roll track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSb9kGrBaug (The Morning Star that Illuminates Tomorrow's Morning)]] is an arrange of this.
** The Stage 5 theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o58pp2sB9UM Those With the Seals, Go to the Mountain]]. It really feels like you're ascending a celestial tower, greeted by angelic fairies with their trumpets.
** Michel Sant'Angelo's Theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLSzps-UNUc Brilliant Saint Michael]]. Its serious, low-pitch sounds, in addition to sounds of a church organ, makes it fitting to the angel closest to Iesua and God, yet it keeps the Touhou theme by using the classic synth trumpets.
** The Stage 6 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck8z5l5ijpo Illusionary Via Dolorosa]], is simply majestic, a perfect match for reaching the mountain summit and seeing the world in all its glory below you -- and contemplating the sacrifices that had to be made to get this far.
** Iesua Nazarenus's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsP24cg97wA "Mankind Salvation Plan ~ The Greatest Salvation"]], which, using prayer-like synth sounds, church bells and more, is truly fitting for Touhou's new Jesus Christ.
** The Extra Stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjppQV6MuqI Neighborhood Lost World]], is one track that pumps you up for what's to come.
** The Extra Boss [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wxqYkSfvv0 Elfin Mint's theme]].
* From ''VideoGame/MysticalPowerPlant'', by the people behind ''The Last Comer'', a splendid soundtrack composed by everyone's friendly neighbourhood Wanwan.
** The stage 2 theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgV-EQCGHSo Spread Bullets Over the Sunset]], for climbing the Life-Guiding Tree high up into the sky.
** Momo Tobikura's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLwEyFCTAME Do Squirrels Dream of Electric Mice?]] It's pretty pleasant as well as fitting for a battle with a determined rodent.
** Have the chaotic and excitingly evil [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVDxXQLVsXg Tenmu Meteor ~ Royal Monster]], the stage 4 boss theme.
** The Stage 5 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnuuHf6XskA Milky Broadway]] gives you the feeling that your journey is almost over, and is just outright beautiful.
** An Yaezaki's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyCNGKWGHBg The 1110th Year's Legend of Tobiume]], uses all of the instruments the Kodama have been seen with, and it is gorgeous.
** The Stage 6 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4bx3Lx0Ui0 Spirit Mausoleum of the Spirit of Language]] just pumps you up before the penultimate encounter with the Midboss Hatate.
** Both of Mitama Magahara's themes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSCCAvcrQFo Sky-Filling Departed Spirit ~ Lightning Word ]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkE30i2SQFc Fantastic Light, Ancient Flowers ~ Infinity Lightning]] are epic. Lightning Word gives the feeling of facing a thunder god while Fantastic Light, Ancient Flowers gives the feeling of facing the ultimate power.
** The Extra Stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8AVmMI80GM Diva's Device]], has traces of Brilliant Saint Michael in it, fitting since Michel Sant'Angelo returns as the midboss.
** Riko Toone's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNX5UKhvqhc Life-Guiding Song ~ Prospect Mirai]]. [[VideoGame/HatsuneMikuProjectDIVA It might sound familiar to some]], which is fitting considering [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} what she's based on]].
* ''VideoGame/RiverbedSoulSaver'', from the same developers as ''The Last Comer'' and ''Mystical Power Plant'', has an outstanding soundtrack.
** The stage 3 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNbHwiszXxA Etheric Frosty Sea]], as cold as the area about, foreboding yet engaging. Something solemn is in the air.
** Ruri's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7yc0eJs6xQ Soul Eater of the Abyss]] is sufficiently uneasy and menacing for an eldritch creature of Lovecraftian myth.
** The stage 4 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEBBVJzs_zg Surpass the Gate of the Silver Key]]. ''That rhythm.'' Which is apparently known as ''pyonko-bushi'', originating from the "pyonko-pyonko-pyon" rhythm in the nursery song "The Frogs' Night Patrol".
** Suitenguu no Himemiko's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-AbmLempp0 The Princess who was Erased from History]], is quite beautiful, considering that she was supposed to be a stage 6 boss but her role was rearranged after the reveal of ''Double Dealing Character''.
** The Stage 5 theme is epic as well. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffqpLDBkL_Y The Shangri-La Palace Floating in the Deep Sea]] not only has a soothing yet tense feel to it, it also bears a small snipper of DDC's stage 5 theme thrown in as well. Considering the naming between the two pieces follows a similar styling, the allusion is even more fitting.
** Takenouchi no Tarumi's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnuAEmgqtv8 World Yamataizer]], is packed full of energy and conveys dignity and power.
** Then there's the stage 6 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kpGnRhEQtk R'lyeh, the Capital of the Dead]], a fast-paced waltz with sudden snatches of haunting melody, suitable indeed for its Lovecraftian inspiration.
** The new stage 6 boss, Yamatoyo no Momohime, certainly does not disappoint as a replacement for Himemiko, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eik4Sf3YIsc Fantasy Nation Daybreak ~ Prayer Player]], which is just as elegant as she is.
** The Extra Stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujgsrgN-qTI Deep-Sea Nebula ~ Nebula Stream]], will remind you about Mumumu's theme back from ''The Last Comer''
** The Extra stage boss Yamata no Yato's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRKTpsmkT6I Source of the Starry River, Dragon of the Grass-Mowing Sword]], is very intense.
** The Phantasm stage theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnMG1-OmrcU Lost Capital of Lifeless Blasphemy]] is just full of catchiness. You can almost [[MickeyMousing Mickey Mouse]] when you, as the player, enter Liberation mode to it.
** Abe no Kiyohime's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkryAuMEAlA Yin-Yang-Shi Serpent]] has the feel of a battling a powerful opponent, as expected from a Phantasm stage boss.
* Wanwan, who has composed many of the songs listed above, is also a fan of ''VideoGame/KanColle''. It should come as no surprise that he eventually took "We shall engage in a night battle" from the latter [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX-20zHu0jU and redid it in a ZUN-esque manner in splendid fashion.]] ([[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21446539 On NicoVideo]])
* ''White Names Spoiled Past'' has its own share of awesome music:
** The stage 2 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpDBNAeQMGw Screen of Morning Mist]], especially when the midboss is revealed to be Sasha.
** Uka Kadofuyu's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAbrOilxKA4 The Equations that the General Loved]], is very catchy.
** The stage 3 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZFP-hNjbNg Gathering the Memorious from All Around Japan]]. Especially when Raku attacks you with holograms of the three supporting characters!
** The stage 3 boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7_ob8eOd8c Recollection of Gravel and Dust ~ Vanishing Memories]], is used in a battle against one of the supporting characters, and it fills with mystery.
** The extra stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wRjjEwDiy8 Rainy Torifune Shrine]], plays as Elfin returns, this time with a partner of her own!
** Azuma Himefuji's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCe109KSAD4 Pass Through the Front Line's Wind ~ Flow Scale]], has the thunder theme fitting in an powerful manner.
** Mihana Kayano's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUlcR8D-cMg Princess of the Green Skies ~ Sky Garden]], is leaned towards the side of nature, and it is fabulous.
* With the emergence of a new fanshooter, Shining Shooting Star, a beautiful, sorrowful soundtrack follows this new adventure.
** The first stage theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gow2z9u11BA A Peaceful Summer Night's Breeze]] has some beautiful piano leading the night on the journey's start.
** Ami's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGx7Ufc9ru4 Let's Make Some Noise on this Sleepless Night!]] is filled with determination and strangely dramatic flair for a fairy.
** The second stage track, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1z7a6LAtig Lamplights in the Bamboo Forest]] is a rather expressive ballad of yearning.
** Rakuki's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0tVZRD7FNk Gale Lightning]] conveys the effect of a dogged archer who intends to hit her mark.
** The third stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg-Z6eo_Crg The Kodama's Summer Night Festival]], invokes a familiar sense of blissfully soaring over forgotten celebrations.
** Seiryuu's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPEIJz2Gwe4 Legend of the Willow Tree]], refined and graceful for a dance within the lost forest.
** The fourth stage fading into another world, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVnjKP28Msw Light and Shadows in the Kaleidoscope World]] provides a foreboding atmosphere.
** Kage's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znrwho1YvAo Illusions in the Mirror]]. A sinister, yet playful track for the shadow reflected on the surface of a face.
** The fifth stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMKD6ds7Ivw Eternal Stars in Memories]] as the altar for the Star God is nearing, filled with oppressive anticipation.
** The theme of Rakuki's sister, the shrine maiden whose existence is devoted to calling on the aid of the Star God, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyOAOI6arKA Meteors Illuminating the Night Sky]].
** The final stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0otHIYlp834 The Other Side of the Galaxy]], with a familiar windy, mellow beginning. A track for the end of a journey to see the stars.
** The final boss, Tensei's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU-iu321QO0 The Lapislazuli Star's Wish ~ Dream Star's Wish]]. A star-like track for a lofty person and tragic god.
** The extra stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT-AwGIZbkc New Wind from the World of Hermits]], has some charming and wistful flights of melody.
** The extra boss, Rika's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoE-S6z5K-E Flowers in the Wind, Moon in the Snow]] is relaxing, gorgeous and contemplative, a perfect match for the "four beauties of nature".
* ''VideoGame/BookOfStarMythology'' has its own collection of beautiful songs.
** Akitsu Nezu's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z-E8xbUFX0 Illness Illusioner]] has a creepy feel, suiting a character that can disguise anything.
** Fuma Mishandra's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvNyHPguokA Great Magic of the Power of Words ~ Starry Wisdom]] has the power you'd expect from a Stage 6 boss.
** Fuma's ''second'' theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaPZ_pEbh4U Hate not the Wind, Spring Blossoms ~ Eternal Wind]], plays for her last batch of spell cards. It's suitably grandiose and epic for what is effectively the character's last stand.
* Studio Nenem gives us ''Adventures in Inferno'', an anthology of a PC-98-style album (for the moment) filled with nostalgic goodness.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFK7vWa8BeM Flutter the Dovecotes!]] The theme of Pigeon the musketeer.
** Stage 3, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AZRb689X_8 The Gateway to Hell]]. Suitably ominous but headstrong.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EPgPLE89HU Carefree Guardian]], the theme of the cheerful, yet determined guardian beast Bell.
** Stage 4, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pw4ceykYEM Dark Road ~ Nether Road]], when meeting some familiar faces.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOhS74Y10Ok Eternal Wickedness]], the mischievous theme of Mima, who is one of the two potential bosses.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YBPOYsuNNQ Hell Flower of Fantasy ~ Dreamy Amaryllis]] is a reimagining of Sleeping Terror with new feelings and twice the horror, for the Yuuka who dreams up nightmares.
** Stage 5, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvnkmxMVzx8 Closed World,]] filled with familiar tunes, and a new story.
** Erika, the fifth "boss"' theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrgYhqsSROI Wonderland ~ Washed Ashore]]. Ominous and a little unhinged.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EfUcWmJSXA Illusionary Natural Calamity ~ Ultimate Phantom]], a familiar theme for the final boss, Yomimi.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvUrkqTJvLc Obelisk of a Future Century]], Rin's theme. A long saga of desperate effort for our forgotten Extra boss.
* ''Tri Focuser ~ Outside the Traditional World'', from the same developers as ''The Last Comer'', ''Mystical Power Plant'', ''Riverbed Soul Saver'', and ''Book of Star Mythology'', brings its own collection of awesome music.
** The theme for Levels 5 and 6 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsRv3jFT-Jc Shangri-La Sailing Route ~ Avalon Gate]] brings the tense feel of visiting the mysterious Life-Guiding Tree and R'lyeh for another time.
** The theme for Levels 7 and 8 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0yFsJ3q8_c The Beanstalk Linking Heaven and Earth]] makes use of woodwind for a soothing feel.
** The theme for Level 9 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_BVhJvbUrE Zenith of Destruction and Creation]] is a fitting theme for the ultimate showdown against ''all four final bosses of the four games this game takes its characters from!''
** Saraka Sant'Angelo's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ss0YSV0-0o Deathscythe Paradise]] shows that the fallen angel is being serious this time.
** Tamako Sant'Angelo's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU0D3ib3WX0 A Pure and Innocent Fleeting Flower ~ Absolute Lily]] is about what you would expect from an angel as a final boss.
* ''VideoGame/HollowSongOfBirds'' continues to deliver Wanwan's talent at music.
** The Stage 1 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmewswlJHPM Silent Spring Scenery,]] is a great song to start off the journey with.
** Chii Shirobakama's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4ZkgQFCfw4 An Invitation to the Eensy-Chiinsy Graveyard!,]] parodies some previous Stage 2 boss themes.
** Hikariko Aosagi's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivws5TBRx1E Noble Green Cinderella,]] is a great accompaniment to a character that parodies ''Twitter.''
** The stage 5 theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFGRGj7PdGk Far East Eldorado]], is an intense and mysterious track with an egyptian flair, perfectly fitting the pyramid.
** General Set's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts56QUH8XAA Tyrant of the Scorching Sun ~ Violent General,]] is a suitable theme for a hectic battle with a foe that has an Egyptian feel and can throw out giant punches.
** Horou Torisumi's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkuyUIFcfpE Golden Hymn ~ Ibis Trismegistus,]] dips between mellow and powerful to show her story.
** Fujitsubo Mumei's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW5aZnFuujI Glass Heart Chevalier,]] is surprisingly jazzy and energetic for an extra boss theme, even making use of electric organs as an instrument never before heard in a theme, but it makes for a powerful display of emotion.
* ''Touhou Spell Bubble'' has some really good arranged versions of the characters' theme musics, some of which are vocalized into [[ImageSong Image Songs]]. Which means ''[[DoItYourselfThemeTune the characters themselves are singing the songs]]''. And they do not disappoint.
** Let's start with Reimu Hakurei's theme, [[https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/touhou-spell-bubble-gamerip/2-04%2520-%2520%25E5%25BD%25BC%25E6%2596%25B9%25E3%2581%25B8%25E3%2581%25AE%25E6%2597%2585%25E8%25B7%25AF.mp3 "Journey to the Other Side"]], an awesome rock remix of "Mystic Oriental Love Consultation" performed by Creator/AyakaSuwa.
** Marisa Kirisame's theme, [[https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/touhou-spell-bubble-gamerip/2-11%2520-%2520%25E3%2583%2590%25E3%2583%2596%25E3%2583%25AB%25E3%2581%25AE%25E5%2591%25AA%25E6%2596%2587%25E3%2581%25AF%25E3%2582%25B7%25E3%2583%25A5%25E3%2583%25BC%25EF%25BC%2581%25E3%2583%259D%25E3%2583%2583%25EF%25BC%2581%25E3%2583%2597%25E3%2583%2583%25E3%2582%25B7%25E3%2583%25A5%25EF%25BC%2581.mp3 "Bubble no Jumon ha Shoot! Pop! Push!"]] performed by Creator/NaomiOzora, is quite possibly the most energetic and catchiest version of "Love-Colored Master Spark" you'll ever hear.
** Yukari Yakumo's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVFylbVEXg0 "Feast of the Boundary"]], is probably the most badass version of "Necrofantasia" you'll ever hear. Even better with Creator/ShizukaIto's vocals!
* While a lot of music from ''VideoGame/TouhouLostWord'' is covers of songs from the original works, some are amazing in their own right:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jzcUzbPH2c "The Heat of My Fingertips"]], contributed by VirtualYoutuber Pomu Rainpuff, takes "Septette of the Dead Princess" (Remilia's theme) and adds vocals and catchy instrumental numbers. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru-xuAZ89ao The original cover by Shimamiya Eiko and Yuuhei Sattelite]] is no slouch either.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_A5xAjnEKQ "Blue Goodbyes"]] from Toshihiko Tahara and Butaotome takes "The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field" (Kanako's theme) and adds catchy guitars and vocals.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEWlBnfdSTg "Disillusion"]] by Faylan adapts "Perfect Cherry Blossom ~ Ancient Temple" into a tune well befitting the melancholic alternate Youmu from the third chapter of the main story, complete with heartfelt vocals.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiNfVngQvwk "The Moon and Izayoi"]], an original work by nano alongside Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets, is a fast-paced banger befitting Sakuya, with energetic vocals to boot.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW7WwkB0CLI "No Name, No Life"]], a song for Junko, has a mix of melodic and emotionally charged vocals, suitable for an entity with an active grudge.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH69IbSMK0o "Holy Again"]] is a melodic piece suitable for a religious monk like Byakuren. The nature visuals in the video add to the tone.
