History AwesomeMusic / TouhouPC98Era

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS2OybGInw8 TAMusic]] takes their violin to "Alice in Wonderland", and weaves glorious emotion into it.

This page covers the music from ''VideoGame/TouhouReiidenHighlyResponsiveToPrayers'', ''VideoGame/TouhouFuumarokuTheStoryOfEasternWonderland'', ''VideoGame/TouhouYumejikuuPhantasmagoriaOfDimDream'', ''VideoGame/TouhouGensokyoLotusLandStory'', and ''VideoGame/TouhouKaikidanMysticSquare''. The PC-98 games used [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation_synthesis FM synthesis]] for music, the same kind of synthesis used by the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis and thousands of arcade games.

** UsefulNotes/PC98 arranges are quite rare as it is, but utter masterpieces like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A98nbzXBG5Q Tutti Sound's rendition]] are even rarer.

[[folder:Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream]]

* Going back a little, we have "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5QfOOtp31I A Sacred Lot]]", the main menu theme and the very first touhou music in the series (from the players' perspective). Nagisa's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u6z_L6EHS0 Melty LOVE]]" is a Eurobeat take on both the title and ending themes.
** Since it combines ALL of Reimu's direct and adjacent themes, putting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht6Y032aToE&ab_channel=Minulf this masterpiece]] by Hari Music at the very beginning seems appropriate.

*** Younoumi, part of IOSYS, combines [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJj0D6JyiPg&ab_channel=Minulf Sleeping Terror with Plastic Mind (further down the list)]]. The result is very much awesome.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHYJ9T4zZAI&ab_channel=Minulf Le Cirque de Sept Couleurs]]", as done by Unlucky Morpheus, is ''amazing''.

** Who knew Alice could [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gygAp4RR67I&ab_channel=Minulf drift so well?]]

*** Younoumi, part of IOSYS, combines [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWeBma8sZxM Sleeping Terror with Plastic Mind (further down the list)]]. The result is very much awesome.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JvpjeNB_90 Le Cirque de Sept Couleurs]]", as done by Unlucky Morpheus, is ''amazing''.

** When it comes to Eurobeat arranges, Mortimer (another alias of Travis Stebbins) is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Pg8eFYtHU No Guardian Angel]].

** The Alstroemeria arrangement [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFUCjnoMAhM mashes up surprisingly well with the Squid Sisters' theme]] from ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}''.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Su8UOs0SFA Bad Apple!!]]", Elly's Stage 3 theme from ''Lotus Land Story'', and Music/AlstroemeriaRecords's collaborative [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lNZ_Rnr7Jc vocal arrange]] featuring nomico. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkgK8eUdpAo And this version is a must watch for Touhou fans]]. And a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e7l2vjuOVA three-for-one]] version.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rg6Gz7YcOg Selection]]", an intense theme for character selection that will pump your adrenaline when choosing who are you going to play as. Despite Touhou PC-98's obscurity, this theme is regarded by fans as one of the best character selection theme is the series.

** What happens when you make a remix to Alice Maestra the backdrop to a combination attack showcasing a boatload of Reimu and Marisa's spellcards bombarding a poor victim? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef9KINYFqsE A Single Blow For The Fate of All Gensokyo]], a resoundingly heroic theme for Marisa and Reimu's combo attack, True Trichromatic Lotus Butterfly.

** What does Music/SiIvagunner do with his Special Anniversary (Hi-Quality) Rip of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-uNn9kenjk Bad Apple (Akyuu's Untouched Score Version)]]? Why, he turns the Alstroemeria Record version into a PC-98 chiptune. It is 100% faithful to the PC-98's audio chip, and sounds absolutely lovely.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVbA2EKGYBs This version]] consists of only banjo, mandolin, flute and a drum and bears resemblance to the traditional sounding [=ShouRinka=] version above, but also has some elements of the Nomico-Alstromeria version.

[[redirect:AwesomeMusic/TouhouProjectPC98Era]]

->I was going to use this as the extra stage theme. But I thought the extra stage song should be a little lighter, so I cried and cried and threw it out.

[[folder:Highly Responsive to Prayers]]
* The very first ''Touhou'' game might've been [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness lacking]] in [[BulletHell danmaku]], but it wasn't devoid of awesome music. Check out "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlp7WLGJZ9E Eastern Strange Discourse]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x21zqGC4mOc Magic]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_LJcQfaOD0 Mirror]]".
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_U-h0M7vb0 ZUN's arrangement of Eastern Strange Discourse]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ThIAMywETg earlier SC-88Pro version]].
** For those who prefer ZUN's modern style, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzisBTt8FoY here's the remastered version]] of "Magic Mirror".
** The same for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXGlqI9PEXI Eastern Strange Discourse]].
** When it comes to Eurobeat arranges, Mortimer (another alias of Travis Stebbins) is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Pg8eFYtHU No Guardian Angel]].
* Going back a little, we have "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5QfOOtp31I A Sacred Lot]]", the main menu theme and the very first touhou music in the series (from the players' perspective). Nagisa's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u6z_L6EHS0 Melty LOVE]]" is a Eurobeat take on both the title and ending themes.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzOUqOCRXOs Eternal]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxgC-ZNhfco Shrine Maiden]]", the very first stage music, shows how ZUN was a master from the very beginning.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvfC2iYjkNw ZUN's arrangement of Eternal Shrine Maiden]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ThIAMywETg earlier SC-88Pro version]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oB10qSyNZc TAMusic expectedly uses it]] to create another nexus of emotion, and circle Kissing the Mirror gives the theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV7tS7Yjidk a very kickass classical rock treatment]].
** This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk-B1uYbLKE piano arrangement]] manages to be extremely similar to the original tune yet is very calming and beautiful, outlining the sorrowful impressions of the melody such as nostalgia, melancholy, sadness and regrets.
** [=EastNewSound=] made a beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j7wACjqU6E rocking song]] out of it.
** And RD-Sounds turns the already melancholic theme into a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aaB1aBRSlc beautiful arrangement]] that must be heard to be believed.
** A-One throws you an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygNhqwq9WVA Eternal Party]] on ''Toho Eurobeat Vol.10''.
* Shingyoku's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=572oLBUdaXE The Positive and Negative]]", the first boss theme in the series. Here's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqRu1TfncE4 nice remix]].
* The first set of Makai stages has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keg90dxeJBQ Highly Responsive to Prayers]]" and its probably one of the few tracks where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC5M_hgAOsQ Akyuu's/TH 05 music test version]] is genuinely better.
* Yuugen Magan's and Mima's shared boss theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6QMRKjnFVw Angel's Legend]]".
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-ae3Y6ujdw Remastered]] version is quite nice.
** As is the ''Toho Eurobeat'' version, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umhyyEIpECE Land of Dreams]]".
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCR46xe-98M Oriental Magician]]", Elis' stage (well, set of stages) theme.
** Here's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohyphK4M4w0 Remastered version]].
** UsefulNotes/PC98 arranges are quite rare as it is, but utter masterpieces like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A98nbzXBG5Q Tutti Sound's rendition]] are even rarer.
* The second set of Hell stages has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_6OzOV_AX4 Blade of Banishment]]".
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeMrru0Ghoc The Legend of KAGE]]", the theme of the final Makai stages.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62OGXPzQbdc ZUN's arrangement of The Legend of KAGE]]
** It was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OScqVLbMPks remixed]] in Concealed the Conclusion.
** [=TAMusic=] gives us this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdQZVyFoo7s remix]].
* Hell route final boss Konngara's theme, the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esoCtl_Yga8 Swordsman of a Distant Star]]".
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR_yeo-KmvA Remastered]] arrangement.
** The [[http://www.akaipro.com/ewi4000s Akai EWI]] (Electronic Wind Instrument, aka "Power Flute") [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZvgb-XeKJo remix.]]
* Still, nothing from the first game quite beats [[OneWingedAngel Sariel]]'s two themes, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzt87vI6YT0 Now, Until the Moment You Die]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZaFmz8XvrM Civilization of Magic]]". You get the feeling that she... he... whatever was intended to be the absolute final boss of the game.
** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72vRjBms_9s here's a version]] with power metal and vocals.
** Music/AlstroemeriaRecords [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PC5jquXoKQ does their techno/vocal thing with "Civilization of Magic"]].
** Now we have here [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VX9M7TXJ1Y a remix]] of "Now, Until the Moment You Die" that makes it sound like a church mass music.
** The one by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZUAtvyRdvQ =a-TTTempo=]] proves able to hold its own as well.
** "Where do you go when you die in Hell? I guess when I get to you, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXbmD43_E64 Time Will Tell]]". (T. Stebbins AKA Odyssey.)
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzYNAMeHjsg Iris]], the nice ending theme. Made awesome with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh0wrU_dENk this remastered version]]. It gets this rare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9RTDm9GN2c remix]]. Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5j33bKQLjo ZUN's arrangement of Iris.]]
* When ZUN made ''Mystic Square'', he included all of the music from previous games in the music test, except the original music from this game. Instead, he re-arranged them. ''Akyu's Untouched Score'' uses this version of the soundtrack.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Story of Eastern Wonderland]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omovtwa9xtY Hakurei - Eastern Wind]]" is good, but usually ignored in favor of unused track below. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZk4Qr9Ze1E Its remix]] from ''Concealed the Conclusion'' may help change this. Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGrHRxBvqQw ZUN's arrangement of Hakurei - Eastern Wind]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ybOrz-5rAU in-game MIDI version]].
* Rika's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfBwznnUVHs She's in a Temper!]]", plus the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjKkCyjbQ_o Remastered]] version, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YaSwTSVMes the in-game MIDI version.]]
* Another gem from ''Story of an Eastern Wonderland'' would be the Stage 2 theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQgffFQwwSs End of Daylight]]". Alstroemeria Records did such a [[http://youtu.be/e0pp2ebXT9k cool remix]] for it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0pp2ebXT9k several]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v__Alk2Vo4A well]]-[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nSltdASVX0 done]] {{fanvid}}s have been made for it! Try also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51_t3agl5Js the in-game MIDI version]].
* Meira's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiQjJvI0jcM Power of Darkness]]", and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihe9yzz_3Dk The in-game MIDI version]].
* Here is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJt8Ngw0sZQ World of Empty Dreams]]", the feel of which you can guess from its title. A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AB2Uhz4e8Q Remastered]] version, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=688aCsfnfso the in-game MIDI version]].
* An intense track for the battle with the Five Magic Stones, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuuUNhHRsrk Bet on Death]]. Fitting for the only enemy to have scared Reimu. Try also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut5D3uVyXDU the in-game MIDI version.]]
* The stage 4 music, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5BimnggJQs Himorogi, Burn in Violet]]". An epic tune... which everyone refuses to acknowledge because it's obviously a ripoff of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'''s boss theme. Because, you know, the first few bars have a vaguely similar melody. Somebody did a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFRWTnZ9UKU mashup]]. There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dTBY4kFeMU the in-game MIDI version]].
* One of Marisa's original themes, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pax6R6We9VQ Love-Coloured Magic]]". It's so good, her current {{leitmotif}} Love-coloured Master Spark is a ''remix'' of it. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmIFrcZebK0 ZUN's arrangement of Love-Coloured Magic]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbrLg6lRfC4 in-game MIDI version]].
* The Stage 5 (Final stage in this game) theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZE-nRW3nhg Eastern Sealing Magic Record ~ A Phantom's Boisterous Dance]]". And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Z8Q6lI5wo the in-game MIDI version]].
* Mima's boss theme from ''Story of Eastern Wonderland'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFmL_6xVpdY Complete Darkness]]", is very dramatic and suited to her epic fight with Reimu.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOFo9PWksLk ZUN's arrangement of Complete Darkness]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtKegQ7XOCY the in-game MIDI version]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppxvE7b9KjU Check out]] what Alstromeria Records does to it!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u8lulatEVc Complete Loudness]] rocks all the way out.
** South of Heaven [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gssXIdAOZ0 delivers the epic]].
** Want some metal? Then the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLVexvfw110 Iron Attack]] rendition should be the thing.
* The Extra stage theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RBiCUj-1YY Extra Love]]", does a good job of conveying a raid on a mechanical fortress. One of the Gods of Touhou's arranges, NEO of Tutti Sound, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blxZlv--AiU put his hands on "Extra Love"]]. The result is staggering. Try also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRGK-7kgEvo the in-game MIDI version]].
* The Extra boss theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGAmyzIeolg The Tank Girl's Dream]]", reuses the same short motif over and over again in different keys for most of the song, but the intro is unique and well-done. There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3t24tPYoLo The in-game MIDI version]].
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVVdCuHr2U8 Hakurei Shrine Grounds]]", the awesome, but unfortunately unused, stage 1 theme. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvh_bg1Z0uc Remastered]] version.
* While the ''Story of Eastern Wind'' is less a direct remake and more ''Story of Eastern Wonderland'' with Windows characters replacing the old ones, it has some nice remixes of ''[=SoEW=]'', like the ones of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKkPLjSAa5k Sunfall]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrLBPINhnVk Himorogi, Burn in Violet]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T6ccejOk4Q Love-Coloured Magic]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_x8oGbumqo Complete Darkness]]".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbDazHqhNkU A Dream Transcending Space-Time]]", the nice menu theme. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gOXOqOCjjQ Remastered]] version.
* Reimu's classic theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SytVxfhN2bU Mystic Oriental Love Consultation]]" from ''Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream''. Both fighting games [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbk1j_IptSY have it]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nBmH70LVk4 remixed]] and they still come out awesome. The ''Hisoutensoku'' version rocks out by only playing when the one-shot kill [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Musou Tensei]] comes out in the last round. As they say, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_A_8h3EB94 you are already dead.]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj7IC6ZjGrc Reincarnation]]", [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Mima]]'s theme.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93_bnOj63xs ZUN's arrangement of Reincarnation]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKLYk40ve24 the earlier SC-88Pro version]]
** Unlucky Morpheus does a really rocking vocal rendition of Reincarnation with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P37WImGse00 No Grudge Any More]]".
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxl2v7efKAQ Alstroemeria Records]] did a song of it with haunting vocals.
** Silver Forest's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9esyApHVqQc Holy My Reincarnation]]" turns "Reincarnation" into something Creator/NanaMizuki might bust out for ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''.
** C-CLAYS also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obDwJraSKXQ give it a go]].
** Two [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQWxwS0gIq4 remastered]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ie1zBZS-64 versions]].
** Someone mixed it with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-UQqtFKK4E Love-Coloured Master Spark]]".
** Here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsJLTA7qCg0 one]] from ''Pocket Wars Evolution''.
** Also a really [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8g5wPf8axA ominous remix]] by Tinzuka.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndxKv2YEp2w This remix]] is breathtakingly beautiful, mixing feelings of sadness and majesty. It really makes you wish you could listen to it from a real orchestra.
** Lastly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGKqdUdGNNs Rei of ORIENS]] sends us off to the next world with his magnificent arrange.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiIH-l8bixg And another very soothing one]], this time by higuma.
* Marisa's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXN_Fld0gYE Dim.Dream]]". And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMIMoWB-H0g Remastered]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA5iK7ttkRs versions]].
* Ellen's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9ArMcZ_i_k Tabula Rasa ~ The Empty Girl]]".
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj0_J4FepaA ZUN's arrangement of Tabula Rasa ~ The Empty Girl]].
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6MOBkWvVNY Crying for the Moon]]" has a very jazzy and mature feel to it, sort-of-fitting to the never-aging child-witch.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nip1bZXMVm0 This remastered version]] is alright for the first two and a half minutes, but then it picks up a familiar accompanying melody...
* Kotohime's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2eoPfTG3xQ Maniacal Princess]]". Arranges for "Maniacal Princess" are quite rare, but there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPmBLSNu3tQ this funky techno number]] and [[http://youtu.be/_y27Q6bWlAc this lively Windows-game-style cover]].
* Remixes for Rikako Asakura's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itsWMDO8-Ss Visionary Game ~ Dream War]]" are even rarer.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbjMJm2dGLE Kana Anaberal's]] haunting "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7kVi_WCB2w Vanishing Dream ~ Lost Dream]]"! Her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccYC1ea2pHc theme]] is very spooky and sad, and shows off ZUN's ability to awaken emotions within his fans.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIbuwjDLvLE ZUN's arrangement of Vanishing Dream ~ Lost Dream]]
** Of special note is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWJx_48xA2c this]] rendition from the album ''prima''.
** Despite not personally appearing in the fangame itself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am2ZYews6eA her theme in Touhou Mother]] is quite nice.
** And here one made by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW63WT6rIuI Takase of the Magnum Opus]] circle.
** There's also some very good Hardcore Techno for the fans of it, produced by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdk_Hz-S-vA chiArosCuro of Black Onyx]].
** NJK Records' ''Toho Euro Flash Vol. 2'' gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdy9dYjDzEk Endless Night]], by DJ Command featuring 3L.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_Y3-pJUvGw Decisive Magic Battle! ~ Fight it out!]]", the theme for the decision match, before moving on to meeting the penultimate boss.
* Yumemi's assistant Chiyuri has a pretty cool theme of her own, and it's called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJucbV0BSfA Sailor of Time]]". Cue the [[Franchise/SailorMoon Pluto/Setsuna]] jokes.
* The midboss demo theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUmLAHCY0Vs Hitouitsu Mahou Sekai Ron]], Disunified Field Theory of Magic.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-KX2Ki0LN8 Love of Magical Chimes]]" may be short, but it gets you geared up for the big boss dual
** It gets a lot of techno remixes. Here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRp03ClmD2c one]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB2WCBGyYsY ZUN's updated version]].
* ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream'' also brings us Yumemi's theme, "Strawberry Crisis!!".
** [[http://youtu.be/BCvuK1wKQMA Touhou, if featured in a Hollywood action sequence.]]
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwb2qUE63z4 remix by dBu]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxqiZUX0bMQ Alstroemeria Records' C87 Remix is hella catchy]]
* The nighttime ending music, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhKQcqykybo Eternal Full Moon]]". The ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXQ1ztK4Z8A Concealed the Conclusion]]'' remix shows why the old scores will never die. Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFD039WrVKs ZUN's arrangement]].
* The staff roll theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW5Dm97Jn70 Maple Dream...]]". Few people have noticed that the credits theme for ''Imperishable Night'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEo0KHeg9gQ "Eternal Dream ~ Mystic Maple"]], is a remix of "Maple Dream".
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9uq7v8O8Bs Winds of Time]]", an unused theme which didn't fit anyone in the game. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTl0v9JBCGg Remastered]] version.
* Another CutSong, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtjrcQMLgC4 Starbow Dream]]". If one listens closely one can hear parts of both "Sleeping Terror" and "Cute Devil~Innocence".
* And yet another CutSong, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VPXSZhnlrY Phantasmagoria]]". Short but pretty little theme.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lotus Land Story]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMhCsPqsmR0 Gensokyo ~ Lotus Land Story]]", the menu theme that sounds like it was lifted from the final stage.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmIUeByDYHE Witching Dream]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4tTdu01z5U Selene's Light]]", the Stage 1 themes for Reimu and Marisa respectively. Try also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI0BrX214o4 ZUN's arrangement]].
* Orange's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78_I6sGfNCQ Decoration Battle]]" is proof that even an ordinary youkai can have extraordinary music.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRTAgMkUscI This version]] didn't make the game, but showed up in ''Akyuu's Untouched Score''.
** And because IOSYS apparently just couldn't pass up the opportunity for a {{Pun}}, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KnTDb2qZoY Bad Apple & Good Orange]]".
* The Stage 2 theme for the Lake of Blood, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxjV8k0P9aY Break the Sabbath]]". Tutti Sound turned the epic up to eleven with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNUL8PVkcfw The Abyss]]".
* Kurumi's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdvYffA9BdY Scarlet Symphony ~ Scarlet Phoneme]]", is dreadfully simple (a single 14-second motif repeated over and over in different keys), but catchy as hell. ''Time Limit ~ Momentary'' has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJD2wv-VEK0 nice jazzy combination]] of it with the aforementioned "Decoration Battle". Like Elly, Gensou Shoujou Taisen gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYl_r69D4jA Scarlet Symphony ~ Scarlet Phoneme ~ Break the Sabbath]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Su8UOs0SFA Bad Apple!!]]", Elly's Stage 3 theme from ''Lotus Land Story'', and Music/AlstroemeriaRecords's collaborative [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lNZ_Rnr7Jc vocal arrange]] featuring nomico. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkgK8eUdpAo And this version is a must watch for Touhou fans]]. And a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e7l2vjuOVA three-for-one]] version.
** [[http://youtu.be/2PHtDx6ryRo A rendition by Marasy8]], based on the Alstroemeria Records remix. Utterly amazing. He revisited the song a few years later, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr7uwOp0Yck putting a new spin on this encore performance]].
** It even comes in a gorgeous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okxciv_HG4I piano version]].
** The album ''Time Limit ~Momentary~'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjsm8fRqyLY features another strong arrange of it]].
** The remixers at Website/NicoNicoDouga did a ''lot'' of "Bad Apple!!" remixes. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3i40X04Cg This]] one is done in ''a capella''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex64t8YWhTo As for this one]], if you didn't know it was a nico production, you might mistake it for an ''official'' ZUN arrange!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl6nkH1C9q0 Here]] is an ''awesome'' remix of the Alstromeria Records remix of "Bad Apple!!" uploaded by Something Unreal.
** Even Creator/CristinaVee sang [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owFulRTR1Sc a cover of it]]! Nearly ten years later, she would team up with [=RichaadEB=] for a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xz4NV0zsbY badass metal cover]], then come full circle two years after that with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhClc6X1NIQ a Japanese version of said cover]].
** And then there's this excellent but hard-to-search-for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qYlJD96euc male and female English duet version]].
** And now, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJbJwlM70nA a mashup of every appearing character's theme]].
** Or do you maybe like it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx76YPgZviE more traditional?]]
** How about a quartet between [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyjpeSsARjM ocarina, violin, electric guitar, and drums?]]
** Or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jru3YJcZK5w Think of You]], the Eurobeat version?
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ssaiwGJjsE Koakuma Ringo]], Yuuhei Satellite's take on the original Bad Apple!!.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E44s5sruzCk Little devil]], sung by the same vocalist but with charming English lyrics.
*** And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbOhc7McMbY Eurobeat remix]] of Koakuma Ringo, which one probably shouldn't listen to while driving on their daily commute.
*** Active [=NEETs'=] orchestra would later collaborate with senya in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kIK2HP2qLA brass-heavy cover]] of the remix.
** The Alstroemeria arrangement [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFUCjnoMAhM mashes up surprisingly well with the Squid Sisters' theme]] from ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}''.
** There's also an absolutely awesome [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBtTL_IsZ5k orchestral version,]] courtesy of Cloudjumper, which itself has been in development for close to a year. Time well spent.
** What does Music/SiIvagunner do with his Special Anniversary (Hi-Quality) Rip of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-uNn9kenjk Bad Apple (Akyuu's Untouched Score Version)]]? Why, he turns the Alstroemeria Record version into a PC-98 chiptune. It is 100% faithful to the PC-98's audio chip, and sounds absolutely lovely.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHKQ2ym81zY This]] Eurobeat rendition of Bad Apple is based on the original chiptune, and mashes in elements from the Alstromeria version for a fast-paced and drift-worthy number.
* Elly's boss theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR63JPBeWzQ Spirit Battle ~ Perdition Crisis]]" gets no love, being [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed by Bad Apple]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF6BNVjyBvo ZUN's arrangement of Spirit Battle ~ Perdition Crisis]].
** ''Gensou Shoujou Taisen'' (a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' based fangame) gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_RLrydScnI this remix]].
* Reimu's best-known theme, "Maiden's Capriccio", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r_826wNorw got its catchy start in PC-98]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nua2Yo2R1Z0 ZUN's arrangement of Maiden's Capriccio.]]
** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDvDhZxZUKk here's an exquisite orchestrated update by kiyoma.]]
** Here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6p41SQb_Vg Hachimitsu-Lemon's relaxing arrangement]], mixed with a bit of Spring Lane from the later games.
* Marisa's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kaXK4ab95M Vessel of Stars ~ Casket of Star]]" is the counterpart to the original "Maiden's Capriccio". Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd645reohZ8 ZUN's arrangement.]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K_OOnViIt4 Alice Maestra]]" (which has ''nothing'' to do with Alice at all) plays in the stage 4 (and where Reimu and Marisa fight it out).
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqcz_I6Pr_Q ZUN's arrangement of Alice Maestra]].
** The awesome [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PWRLcZVLLU EWI arrangement]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfFxOusryxs Sound Holic]] and 709sec. add a lot of awesome to an otherwise overlooked theme.
** Sound Holic gave this song a second go around, this time with Nana Takahashi's vocals. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc5YI7qypVM The result]] speaks for itself with the title: "Quod Erat Demonstrandum".
** Demetori's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLXYNVlYvfA amazing rock remix]] is truly a masterpiece.
* Yuuka's original theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnyH-V6PuYs Sleeping Terror]]", the Stage 5 Boss theme. Sinister and majestic, very appropriate.
** A very appropriate [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ5mYOlXqYc remix]] that captures the song's air perfectly.
** The fierce and hopeless sounding "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-5lSz9r0H8 Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream]]" (Stage 6 Boss theme).
** And "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf1pHbFUkEE Lotus Love]]" (Stage 5 theme).
** And "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeFT6TafSW8 Dream Land]]" (Stage 6 theme). Yes, Yuuka has four themes in ''Lotus Land Story''. Four and a half if you count the latter parts of Gengetsu's theme. Bump it up to five if you count the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTOhEWM2kz8 first version]] of "Faint Dream" that remained unused in the final game and sports an even more sinister melody.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWv9LIkRHCM ZUN's arrangement of Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream]]
*** O-Life Japan tried their hand at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F93Vr6jvVY "Faint Dream"]], too.
*** A wonderful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgDrYGaG0Tg orchestrated version]] made by a Nico Nico artist.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_FVXXAJ7kc A wonderful piano version of]] "Faint Dream".
*** "Inanimate Dream" translates awful well as a memorable opening, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8gIo8_uM9k Yu-mu]]", for Kinema Kan 2nd Curtain through Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EDL1L67NpA This]] arrangement of the unused version of "Faint Dream" rather nicely captures the aggressiveness of the battle.
*** Nana Takahashi from SOUND HOLIC rocks out with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVzWIzUdGAI Dream Refrain]]", with the circle releasing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2U7cSwHNsU an equally awesome PV]].
*** Younoumi, part of IOSYS, combines [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWeBma8sZxM Sleeping Terror with Plastic Mind (further down the list)]]. The result is very much awesome.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa13NR7wPys SOUND HOLIC]] delivers again - this time with 709sec.'s help.
* The Extra Stage theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OKt9K23I1g The Inevitable Forbidden Game]]" just swells with being a light hearted silly trek through untold barrages of bullets.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1poYSjKfWLs ZUN's arrangement of The Inevitable Forbidden Game]].
* Mugetsu's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTDE3Y2n-pI Illusion of a Maid ~ Icemilk Magic]]". With a remastered version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4plBCYC5bmU here]]. Enjoy.
* And for those who can't deal with Gengetsu Rape Time, here's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HymHWSc--sY Cute Devil ~ Innocence]]".
** [=FactoryNoise=]'s and AG's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CArI_vFIiZk remix of it]] is supremely well done, while being quite faithful to the song.
** And Tutti Sound did it again. From the same album as NEO's take on Oriental Magician comes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7i184OkCuE this masterpiece.]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BfJrr_O4p4 Dreamy Pilot]]", the unused stage 4 theme. Here are the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOqOcGcdLe8 Remastered]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPtgiCrtMgg versions]], and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmtDGQ88q0k Remix]].
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkL8UKsMFWY Magical Shop of Raspberry]]", an unused Extra Stage tune from ''Lotus Land Story'', gets a rockin' makeover from Music/{{IOSYS}} for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdVZ_xCAm7A Futatsu no Tsubasa]]". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxji3gATmAE Another group, known as kimino-museum, has also acknowledged]] this [[DummiedOut lost track's]] greatness.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd4svwo6dYg A bunch of players in the]] {{MMORPG}} Mabinogi have done a rendition of the Music/{{IOSYS}} arrange.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM1sohWm2DM Once remastered]], this track becomes even more haunting and impressive. [[http://youtu.be/Ozr8_brHXXI Another Remaster]] by マドレーヌ gives it a more UFO-styled feel.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5OE0Q5wYiI Arcadian Dream]]", the staff roll theme. The unused staff roll theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrW4twqERqQ Crescent Dream]]", is not bad either.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4n9pYstX8s Border Land]]", the unused stage 6 theme, is catchy as just about every other theme here.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZG6pwMSbo Days]]", a rather melancholy theme for the bad ending.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mystic Square]]
* The Menu theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLYx8XBm6Jo Wondrous Romance ~ Mystic Square]]", which sets the tone for the rest of the game, and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=781JdGkZO6Y Remastered]] version.
* The Stage 1 theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qq6JSOhddo Dream Express]]".
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dInQZ_o41xE ZUN's arrangement of Dream Express]].
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95KTq2ubm1s Remastered]] version.
** ''Concealed the Conclusion'' gives us an epic arrangement of it named "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug335GttDnM Dream Express ~ Red and White]]", mixing it with "Witching Dream" and "Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Red and White".
* Sara's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZC8RWe-Uig Magic Formation ~ Magic Square]]". And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h_DQAyI_DE Remastered]] version.
* The Stage 2 theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9-UdiZI-zY Dimension of Reverie]]".

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWi6INm2PFE Remastered]] version.
* Luize's theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoV5PMxw3Uo Spiritual Heaven]]".
** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKq8XEqnEfc Rock Arrangement]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cJU4Hn8OK0 Sound Holic delivers]] a great Hardrock blend beetween Dimension of Reverie and Spiritual Heaven.
* All of Alice's awesome themes: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMaqhhrZkvc Romantic Children]]" (Stage 3), "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijituRe039w Plastic Mind]]" (Stage 3 Boss), "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0jbvJjTXPw Alice in Wonderland]]" of course (Extra Stage), and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B9umDBE-78 The Grimoire of Alice]]" (Extra Stage Boss theme).
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI10yKmtKmI ZUN's arrangements of Romantic Children]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxLnriYZRFA Alice in Wonderland]]
** Speaking of which, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_b4JrVU4fo FlanGoY's flute solo]] of "Alice in Wonderland" does the original justice, and almost sounds as though ''Alice herself'' was playing it.
** An awesome remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNDqjVTVKMo "The Grimoire of Alice"]] done for a fan-game called ''Mystic Chain''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS2OybGInw8 TAMusic]] takes their violin to "Alice in Wonderland", and weaves glorious emotion into it.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JvpjeNB_90 Le Cirque de Sept Couleurs]]", as done by Unlucky Morpheus, is ''amazing''.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO0xo8Go824 Hisoutensoku]]"[='=]s remix of "The Grimoire of Alice" is pretty awesome.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1SU4bJ4WS8 Artificial Children]]" by IOSYS is a very haunting remix of "Romantic Children".
** Have some piano versions of both "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXavfDiOgcU Romantic Children]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSpxN1v81l0 Alice in Wonderland]]".
** Rei of Oriens delivers the awesome with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWuZFRDTdlE Alice in Wonderland]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXc-Fa_Wv9g Sealed Sword]]", the latter being an epic orchestral arrange of "The Grimoire of Alice".
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XQzqB7G910 These]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7bAQC-epjA remastered]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO6Db2H6ioQ versions]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HxfKj7IXXw of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAr2wrwpyYs the]] 3rd Stage's Romantic Children.
** Tutti Sound gives Grimoire of Alice their own spin with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhsJc4M0G18 The Ancient Magic]].
** The remix of "Alice in Wonderland", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6IB07Ezd0A La Fleur En Cage]]" by Crest is notable especially since it is sung in French.
* The Stage 4 theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec3C9yovlDs Maple Wise]]".
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNUxYYXN-yc ZUN's arrangement of Maple Wise]].
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJb5RFW1KKc Remastered]] version.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKYOw7F0AQA Forbidden Magic]]", the shared boss theme of Yuki and Mai.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEpRTEMqmO4 ZUN's arrangement of Forbidden Magic]].
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ8lsTKkQqA Remastered]] version.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iblqaIn4ok4 ZUN's arrangement of Crimson Maiden ~ Crimson Dead!!]].
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU9MRcW4QUc Remastered]] version.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-xX4q8Lu2Q Treacherous Maiden ~ Judas Kiss]]", Mai's insanely catchy theme.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T43-ggB0N28 ZUN's arrangement of Treacherous Maiden ~ Judas Kiss]].
** Alstroemeria Records does it again with a vocal remix of Mai's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJq_SWK0l0E Real Intension]]", portraying Mai's feelings for her counterpart, Yuki. [[http://kafkafuura.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/real-intension/ Judge for yourself]].
** The two [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-C5OBjbA_E Remastered]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtH1c4wv18g versions]].
* Stage 5 theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=macGxMXKjI8 The Last Judgement]]".

** Here are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qWhQq1NWyQ some]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSnWNiQ_k6U remastered]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIAXUsGzUU0 versions]].
** As well as a song produced by Music/AlstroemeriaRecords, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAdDGdMQBxE rhythmed by a long intro before the core of the song kicks in]].
** Here is a nice remix named [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckK12a9pDWY Dreaming to Return Again]].
* Yumeko has a great theme in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCDLJFdDSjs Doll of Misery]]", which also comes in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27DRGPD_-60 Classical]] flavour.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsZlUhAcuC0 Remastered]] version.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BBG5IGK3-c Fear the original Ninja Maid]]. SOUND HOLIC made the theme even more awesome.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMrg0V9TYsU This]] remix of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lt3xlTwT3U World's End]]" by Pizuya's Cell and [=MyonMyon=] is epic.
** The excellent "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amT4M_qLYPY Dream Bottom]]" from Syrufit.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i80gNdMY3s Now]] with added heartbeat sound and a drop of ''UFO'' flavor.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7E2pKUSK9I Remastered]] version.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjqVDoL15g8 Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being]]", Shinki's theme from ''Mystic Square''. It takes about 24 seconds for the epic to kick in. A perfect anthem for a battle so epic that it leaves Makai in flames and the fallout of which results in the creation of the Spellcard system.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJj2ZqUmxFQ ZUN's arrangement of Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy9djVEaWVQ This remix]] by O-Life Japan brings the JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient to a whole new level.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doYxxzE40UU Remastered]] version.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udXwKu799Tw The remix by RD Sounds]] is a good five and a half minutes of awesome.
** Then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pItvKu-oEdc there is the version by OUT]] that is a complete masterpiece.
** A Melodic Death Metal arrange, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fLpcDkWoRo Myth Logic Ignite]], by Pizuya's Cell and [=MyonMyon=] brings something epic and uncommon to the table.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMp4KCO6kBw Mystic Dream]]", the Staff roll theme.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1FoACyXN1o Remastered]] version.
** The epic sounding [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhqeiC3V2Ys Pearl Remix]].
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-dvBAhcJ3I Peaceful Romancer]]", the Extra stage's ending theme (and therefore, some of the very last songs of [=PC98=]), is absolutely beautiful.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsQ8U6_ttCw ZUN's arrangement of Peaceful Romancer]].
** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV-Gn1kt2Vw remastered version]].
