Mountain of Faith

• The Aki Sisters have pretty cool themes with "A God That Misses People ~ Romantic Fall" and "Because Princess Inada Is Scolding Me", and COOL&CREATE turns the cheerful song into something heart-rending.
  • In an intriguing change of pace, Shironekobeat turns Minoriko's theme into a folk-ish piece that is almost unheard of today.
  • Does anyone want some Irish folk?
  • Their themes are also mashed with "Dear You" from Higurashi, as seen here.
• The Stage 2 theme, "The Road of the Apotropaic God ~ Dark Road" is definitely memorable, and not just for expanding one's vocabulary.

• "Dark Side of Fate", Hina's theme, has a good, fast-paced tempo, and really invokes the mental image of a spinning Hina.
  • Team Nekokan, the crew who did one of the more well-known arranges of "Airman ga Taosenai", also arranged this theme.
  • Both of Hina's themes are given a severe saccharine injection with Miracle Hinacle, and the world is much more blessed thanks to it. In turn, "Miracle Hinacle" also has a Eurobeat remix by DJ Command on TOHO EURO FLASH VOL. 1.
  • The EWI version is catchy, despite being short.
  • And naturally C-CLAYS created their own wonderful, hip-hop-esque version with Mai Kotohge's help.
  • Yuuhei Satellite's Remains of a Bird's Name is an addictively catchy and great techno/vocal arrange of Hina's theme.
• "The Gensokyo the Gods Loved", the stage 3 theme, is sometimes called the most beautiful stage theme in the series and the theme of Gensokyo itself.
  • Both Virus Key and NeutraL somehow manage to make it even more beautiful.
  • SYNC.ART'S, with the collaboration of Tamari, BB, and TAMUSIC gives us the remix of this theme.
  • How incredible is this theme? Incredible enough that the makers of this spectacular fanvid found a vocal version worthy enough to be included. Enjoy the full version of this vocal masterpiece. Theme by Yuuhei Satellite. senya would eventually collaborate with Active NEETs to add an entire orchestra on top of her beautiful vocals.
  • Yuuhei Satellite's sister circle, Shoujo Fractal, also provided a rearrangement of the same song. Despite the change to the second verse, it is nonetheless still awesome.
  • Slowed down, the melody lends itself well to being played on piano, as these soulful and melodious arranges can attest.

• The stage 3 boss theme, "Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's 'Kappa' ~ Candid Friend", is memorable enough to have been chose as the source of a an fanmade anime opening of Mountain of Faith.
  • IOSYS' remix of Nitori's theme contains dangerous levels of cute, catchiness, and cucumbers, while COOL&CREATE's rendition fills it with energy. COOL&CREATE's "The Broken Youkai who Loved a Human" is even more sad to listen to with the English subtitles.
  • "Optical Cellophane" is just as catchy (with lyrics).
  • Tutti Sound did a rendition of Nitori's theme. It's as good as you might expect.

• While it seems to be overlooked compared to the Stage 3 theme, Stage 4's "Fall of Fall ~ Autumnal Waterfall" is just as stellar. Here is a great vocal/rock remix by SYNC.ART'S. Sound Holic went the Eurobeat route with their "Fall of Fall" cover.
  • Do not discount SHO's version!
  • Louve d'Automne is a beautiful French vocal jazz cover.
• Aya's theme from Mountain of Faith: "The Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain". Also, here's Demetori's rock remix.
  • And two great remixes from Xi-on!
  • Floating Cloud Acoustic Band give the folklore-heavy tone of MoF the treatment it deserves.
  • For the piano lover, here's an excellent sedating rendition.
• This rendition of Sanae's stage theme ("The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl Saw") is beautiful.
  • Splendid Encount by SYNC.ART'S is wonderful to hear.
  • Another one by SYNC.ART'S deserves a mention. It is upbeat that could make the sound waves go rave.
  • As does this orchestra version by SOUND HOLIC.
  • This version which is equipped with a live action PV has all it takes to make a Good Girl Spark!
  • You can't hold them feels. You just can't. The tender instrumentals in the background and Maika's astonishing voice just take you on a train of beauty that won't stop until the last note is played.
• Sanae brings us "Faith is for the Transient People".
  • FELT gives another stellar track with Blue Prayer.
  • One of IRON ATTACK!'s vocalists helped to make "Rain in Vain" a piece to remember.
  • The notable thing about "Faith" is that it makes a natural rocking beat, ideal for METAL remixes. Did you know that IOSYS's Pray can make it sound like a lullaby (which Kanako and/or Suwako may have used to help a little Sanae sleep)?
  • Apparently, TAMusic figured out the same trick IOSYS did, and made "Faith" sound even sadder.
  • This remix of "Faith" by Neutral is just wonderful.
  • Demetori's got us covered here too, and it gets even more awesome when someone charts the drums to Rock Band 2 with undeniable skill.
  • And NeutraL does it again to Faith in a sort of Spaghetti Western style right here.
  • This version by Liz Triangle is very calm and soothing.

• Kanako-sama's stage theme "Cemetery of Onbashira ~ Grave of Being", which is possibly the most epic stage theme in the series. And since Demetori can make anything awesome, here is their rendition of "Grave of Being".
• "The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field" can carry players through their countless attempts to finally capture "Virtue of Wind God". There's a reason the song has served as the recurring Game Over Leitmotif!
  • Demetori's Suwa Foughten Field / Jehovah's Yahveh is probably one of the best ways to listen to Suwa's Foughten Field on Lunatic. After all, what better suits a god than EPIC SPEED METAL?
  • Once more, O-Life Japan delivers with great feeling.
  • Virus Key does it again, with a bonus "The Gods Give Us Blessed Rain ~ Sylphid Dream" at the end.
  • Tutti Sound combines her theme with "Grave of Being" and a face-melting chorus for a result that can only be described as divine.
  • Last Moments from NJK Records combines the awesomeness of Touhou musics with Eurobeat. Warning: Never play this song while driving.
  • A-ONE crashes the party once again, this time with the Christian eurobeat song "FAITH" that reflects Kanako's wish to obtain faith from prospective believers. Bonus points for incorporating a quote from the Bible that also touches on the subject of faith (Matthew 17:20).

• The Extra stage music, "Tomorrow will be Special; Yesterday was Not", is a strong contender for best stage theme in the series.
  • This arrangement by the famed musicians of UNDEAD CORPORATIOn mixes traditional instruments, haunting vocals and face-melting heavy metal into an epic result.
  • Who knew Schranz could be melodic?
• Suwako's theme, "Native Faith", for its cheerfulness and remixes.
  • After hearing of Suwako's desire to have her as a snack, Cirno has issued this rebuttal.
  • FELT brings in another heartfelt piano and vocal piece with Call On.
  • Sisimai keeps the upbeat atmosphere with their trademark piano duet.
  • This techno remix by Rolling Contact is awesome in its own right.
  • Native Face by Cross Gear is what you get when you mix "Native Faith", and "The Gensokyo The Gods Loved". In other words, PURE FUCKING AWESOME.
  • A chiptune/dnb mix of "Native Faith" shouldn't work, but somehow, it does.
  • In case you need something more metal to properly express the terror of Suwako, IRON ATTACK! has you covered.

• And finally there is the ending theme, "Shrine at the Foot of the Mountain", which closes the game on a relaxing pitch. From this, Ping Xing Shi Jie created their own folk rendition that adds in an extra touch of grandeur to the scene.

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody

• The game's versions of "Locked Girl ~ Girl's Secret Room" and "Septette for the Dead Princess" exude grace and grandeur.
  • As is the fast paced version of "Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon" the game provides.
  • Marisa rocks out with "Vessel of Stars ~ Casket of Star", which ranks as one of her most badass themes.
  • Sakuya's "Flowering Night".
  • "Night of Nights", while subject to tons of Fanvid memes and the like over the years, is a quite good, fast-paced and incredibly catchy tune in its own right.
  • Youmu's "Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?", even though it sounds much more playful, still proves to be a good remix.
• The main title theme, "Sky of Scarlet Perception", is such a ridiculously epic piece of music for a video game that it isn't even funny.
• "The Ground's Color is Yellow", the theme of the destroyed Hakurei Shrine. A wild, frantic tune with some amazing violin-work, perfect for a fight amidst changing weather.
• "Broken Moon", Suika's conversation track arranged for a battle theme. Nostalgic, cheerful and silly, justificably could be considered a theme song for Gensokyo as a whole. "花月夜/Flowery Moonlit Night", Yonder Voice's rendition of "Broken Moon", has a longing, melancholic theme wrapped in a energetic, upbeat tune.
• "Crimson in the Black Sea ~ Legendary Fish" is pure classic ZUN and makes Iku's oar-fishy awesomeness apparent.
  • IOSYS' arrange of Iku's theme, "Saturday Night Fish Girl", will make you want to bust out the disco ball and dance along.
  • O-LIFE JAPAN's "Iku-san Should be Fever" is the funkiest Touhou remix of them all.
• "Bhava-agra As Seen Through a Child's Mind" (Tenshi's Last Spell theme music) is amazing for so many reasons. =NeutraL='s remix of it may evoke strange feelings of pity for the celestial brat.
• "Catastrophe in Bhava-agra", Tenshi's proper Leitmotif, is quite badass too.
  • And then we have SOUND HOLIC'S Heartquake Super Shock. Aw man! It is so made of epic win! Now we have a PV version. GO TENSHI!!! And it seems O-Life Japan has granted us this playful, yet somewhat strange, remix.
  • Fox Factory's remix. This Orchestral arrange of Tenshi's theme is so grand, it WILL make you shiver with tears at how unbelievably grand it is.
  • Yuuhei Satellite strikes again with "Kafuka naru Gunjou he".
  • Remixed into Catastrophe in Paradise for Diamond in the Rough (Touhou).
  • Riverside provides a catchy remix of it as well.
• "Skies Beyond the Clouds" and "Flawless Clothing of the Celestials", Iku and Tenshi's pre-battle themes repsectively, are just as good, if not better, than their actual themes. Fox Factory also did a orchestral arrange of "Flawless Clothing of the Celestials". If you liked the original, this arrange will make you appreciate the song even more.
• "Darkening Dusk", a relaxing and catchy Theremin rendition of the SWR Main Theme that plays over the ending slides of the single-player campaign.
• Much like the title theme, the credits theme, "Oriental Sky of Scarlet Perception" is ridiculously epic for what it's set to. This full arranged version of the song from the OST makes it even more epic, if you can believe it.
• Yukari's theme, "Night Falls ~ Evening Star", is a fastpaced and crazy remix of her Immaterial and Missing Power theme that seems fitting for someone who would attack you with a surprise train.
• "Drunk as I like". Part folk, part rock, all catchy. And it's pretty hard to escape if you enjoy watching GMod Monsters/TF2 Freaks.

Subterranean Animism

• The Stage 1 music, "The Dark Blowhole". And once again, Floating Cloud turns the theme into an amazing folk piece.
• "The Sealed-Away Youkai ~ Lost Place", Yamame's theme.
  • C-CLAYS created an almost unrecognisable, yet SPECTACULAR vocal version.
  • O-Life Japan definitely delivers with their rendition of an already awesome song.
  • Here is a nice Piano arrange by PIROPARU.
  • If you like some good techno blended with hard rock, check out this rather badass arrange by Kuroneko Lounge.
• "The Bridge People No Longer Cross", the theme of Parsee's stage, as well as her main theme, "Green-Eyed Jealousy" — the combination of a simple melody and complex music works towards a more subtle awesome.
  • And one group made an absolutely beautiful classical arrangement.
  • Isn't it sad, Parsee?
  • "Mizuhashi's Jealoussic Park". Insane to sing along to, but funny as hell.
  • Naturally, TAM provides his own contribution. The first one is of his usual quality, and the second (beginning at 6:10) transcends even that, creating instant floods of tears.
  • Liz Triangle's version is expectedly beautiful.
  • These two piano pieces, one for each of Parsee's themes, capture her character perfectly.
  • Netaminity Theatre expresses Parsee's train of thought.
• The stage 3 theme "Walking the Streets of a Former Hell".
  • A violin rock remix of that stage theme. It's bombastic and intense.
  • Another excellent version by O-Life Japan.
  • SOUND HOLIC gives us the throaty and percussion-filled Drunkard Ondo of Mt. Ooe.
  • Yuuhei Satellite adds "Yubisaki chokoreito".
  • Courtesy of UI-70 a metal remix that really captures the feeling of a hard-hitting oni.
  • Also bringing the rock to the theme, SSH delivers a great take on the theme, which has been described as sounding like a mix of Van Halen and Daisuke Ishiwatari.
• Yuugi's theme, "A Flower-Studded Sake Dish on Mt. Ooe". It's very proud, boisterous and adventurous, perfectly fitting "Yuugi the Strong".
  • And of course, Neutral delivers.
• Scarlatto di Levante made an excellent arrange of "Heartfelt Fancy", the Stage 4 theme.
  • IOSYS allows "Satori, The Girl Who Knew Too Much" to explain her side of the story.
  • And Conagusuri gives us Inori no Me~3rd EYE=Sad Eye.
  • This one is an interesting tech mix of Heartfelt Fancy and 3rd Eye. Be sure to turn up the volume.
• "Satori Maiden ~ 3rd eye" reminds us so much of the games of our youth.
  • There is even an 8-bit version of it!
  • This vocal rendition is excellent.
  • Marquis de 3rd is a great, done by Sound Holic, with 3L doing amazing vocals.
  • ReSoundWave struck gold here
  • Unlucky Morpheus gives Satori's theme a memorable vocal twist with "Perverseness".
  • This particular rendition by adany of FENNEL SEED is a must-hear.
  • "3rd eye" is sometimes described as the most sinister of ZUN's music. This arrange by Tutti Sound is damn strong evidence for such a claim.
  • The Satori Rag.
  • Buta Otome offers two vocal tracks of this. One is pretty cool. The other is considerably angrier.
  • In another example of "Touhou crosses with anything", the circle Dangerous Mezashi Cat brings us a 3rd Eye HOEDOWN!
  • Here is a With Lyrics version of the original. They portray Satori's absolute terror, loneliness, and misery very well.
  • Kuroneko Lounge's Yoshiki-Narutaki brings this haunting remix.
  • A group innocently called Schafstall (sheep's stable) shouldn't produce music this unnerving.

• "Lullaby of Deserted Hell", the theme for stage 5.
  • O-Life Japan gives their remix a medieval twist.
  • A! of the circle Dangerous Mezashi Cat gives us the incredibly awesome "Apocalypse Now".
  • Momori of SYNC ART'S lends her voice towards making "Tod Und Feuer" a most memorable vocal mix of this stage theme.
  • Lily-an also lends her amazing voice for another unforgettable vocal rendition of "Lullaby".
  • And for those who prefer an awesome orchestral treatment, Scarlatto di Levante has you covered.
  • Sound Holic keeps it simple with a piano and a violin, with Nine Lives, which blends in Corpse Voyage as well.
  • Who says that metal doesn't go with slow and peaceful songs? Here's Ruins in Hell, by IRON ATTACK!!, which sounds really awesome.
  • Hanging Garden gives an excellent non-vocal folk arrange.
  • Yellow Zebra gives a melancholy take, with an accordion. Somehow.
  • If this soothing yet heartfelt traditional version, with or without vocal by Drop doesn't sooth one's restless soul, nothing will.
  • C-CLAYS delivers a powerful remix.
    From the uploader's description: It tells a whole tale, a dramatic escape from the depths of hell
  • The Densou-Gakudan remix is absolutly godly.
  • And here is a music box version as well.
  • A very soothing remix by Riverside.
  • Firing up the Flames of Deserted Hell by DjtheSdotcom manages to capture the feeling of the original while making it ten times more intense. This is further complemented with the addition of Utsuho's theme in the mix, as well as the final boss theme from Cave Story.
• "Heartful Neko-romancer", an amazing remix of Orin's theme, "Corpse Voyage ~ Be of good cheer!", is just epic, they made it so much like "Thriller"!
  • IOSYS got to Rin's theme a second time around - now she's opened a restaurant!
  • ROCK IT, BABE!
  • O-Life Japan provides an immensely, appropriately cheerful version.
    Youtube commenter: Get ye off yer gary glitter and be not afrai' now to pull and malarky about. Dance til' sunrise, now don't slinjing we be doin' tha Riverdance!
  • Another arrange that gained some attention: Prominence from Sound Online. This one kicks ass. And what better way of kicking more ass than with this video: The Subterranean Prominence?
• The final stage theme, "Hellfire Mantle", is impressive too, though it doesn't get very much attention due to the misfortune of her actual boss theme being one of the series' most popular. It does, however, still get a few fantastic remixes, such as this one, fit to be played behind even the most epic of fights to the death.
  • It also has been remixed into this heartwarming and beautiful piece. It's amazing what some of these remixers can do to completely reverse a song's mood.
  • Flame of the Quietness turns Utsuho's stage theme into something that wouldn't be out of place in a movie trailer.
  • From T=NODE comes an orchestral remix that turns the theme into something that can only be described as "melancholic".
• If "Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion" doesn't make you think of epic battles with giant nuke-bullets, nothing will.
  • This remix of Utsuho's theme are even more epic. It even has the CAUTION! CAUTION! warning sirens!
  • O-Life Japan's first attempt at "Nuclear Fusion" sure sounds like a party in hell! Their second rendition, from their album Ishuu Gensyoko, has even better sirens that'll likely take your breath away when they start blaring.
  • IRON ATTACK!'s "Blast from the Sun" will make your speakers reach critical mass.
  • Here's some gabber that will tear your face off.
  • Yet another brilliant, klaxon-blaring remix, this time by ~xi-on~.
  • Scarlatto di Levante gives us Gnosis the Heliolatry, a very well done classical arrange of Utsuho's theme.
  • On the cute scale of things, Unyutei mixes Okuu's nuclear beat with the remix theme "USATEI".
  • One wouldn't think that such an intense, highly aggressive song could translate so beautifully into a vocal arrangement, but CYTOKINE has done this with magnificence. Aki's hauntingly powerful voice wistfully details a descent from awe and innocence into fear and destruction at the hands of revolutionary power.
  • There's also this, used in the greatest rendition of spellcard combat in existence.
  • On the subject of Touhou 3D Dog Fight, "Flames Within These Black Feathers" is the perfect Image Song for Utsuho.
  • Utsuho would like to invite you to get fit with her!
  • Demetori was here; you're all second class.
  • Yohine delivers -The crow of 'YATA'- under the mantle of IOSYS. Yes, that IOSYS. Your soundcard's containment is now breached.
  • Because Utsuho can never have enough metal, here's another one courtesy of Neutral.
  • t=NODE fuses techno and orchestral, producing a badass song with a melancholy core.
  • Magnum Opus would like to present to you Utsuho's magnum opus.
  • C-CLAYS puts a bizarre, Middle-Eastern spin with this one, one comes out with something unique. And awesome. And then they did another version with Mai Kotoge's velvety vocals, lending Utsuho an unexpected mellowness.
  • And on the somewhat disturbing end of the spectrum, EastNewSound blends their metal with terrifying synth auto-tune. Utsuho sounds like a merciless kill-bot, skipping and stuttering. And then she starts talking.
  • "Warning!", the obligatory Eurobeat remix by DJ Command. In turn, this arrangement was crossed over with "This Day Aria" from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
  • Crow's Claw arrived. Let the Metal rage on.
  • little flare from Toho Eurobeat Vol. 8 remixes Utsuho's themes In the Style of Stock Aitken Waterman.
  • The group's name should give it away, but Tohoho Orchestra's orchestral piece is stellar.
• Koishi's stage theme, "Last Remote", is one of the very best Extra Stage themes in Touhou.
  • The upbeat All This Time mixes a catchy beat with kickass vocals and a penchant for unexpectedly breaking your speakers.
  • NeutraL does a very cool arrange of Last Remote that would be right at home in their DARKNESS album.
  • SOUND HOLIC and Nana Takahashi's "Highway to Heaven" combines Last Remote and Sanae's theme into one very kickass arrange.
  • "Clouds Over the Moon, and Wind Over the Flowers" is a rocky song whose lyrics lavishly depict the passion of eternal love, and is featured in Fantasy Kaleidoscope's second opening sequence, which puts a heavy emphasis on the events of Subterranean Animism. A later collaboration with Active NEETs' symphony would produce an even more moving piece.
  • Innocent Key's Josei no Qualia ~ Subterranean Rose is an epic vocal/gothic rock track with violins and Ethereal Choirs thrown in. It's even combined with parts of Hartmann's Youkai Girl below, and even has an animated Seinen PV full of Nightmare Fuel that's centered on Marisa, Alice, Patchouli, and Koishi herself in an adorable detached-sleeved alternate costume.
  • ryu-5150 and Miya made a metal remix of Last Remote called Don't stay which sounds amazing.
• "Hartmann's Youkai Girl", Koishi's theme.
  • dBu always does good Touhou arranges, and their arrange of "Hartmann's Youkai Girl", "Demon Tale Sonata", is no exception.
  • Koishi's theme is noteworthy because of its symmetry - it sounds very similar if you play it backwards, but also infinitely more disturbing. As one person put it, it sounds like the sounds are being sucked out of your head.
  • A very claustrophobic sounding remix from O-Life Japan. Even when it goes quiet, it feels like she's gone into subconscious-mode.
  • This is a "Whole new look on Koishi's Theme" indeed.
  • The same theme, but arranged to sound like it belonged in the PC-98 era.
  • Here's a vocal arrangement from C-CLAYS.
  • Emotional Disorder by DjtheSdotcom is a very frantic take on Koishi's theme mixed in with the Hyper Zone theme from Kirby's Dream Land 3 as a nice bonus.
  • "514", an upbeat, synth-heavy remix that encompasses Koishi's joyful, yet unpredictable nature. It's used during the first part of Koishi's fight against Reimu in the 3D animation "Brambly Boundaries". ^note 514 can be read in Japanese as "Koishi" if one takes a look at the individual numbers (5 is "go", 1 is "ichi", 4 is "shi", making for "goishi" and sounding similar to "Koishi")
  • CENSORED!!, from t+pazolite, is 218 seconds of pure insanity. You almost forget that it's a remix!
  • With a name like "Paranoia Step", it's no wonder this song with more shifts in tone perfectly fits in with Koishi's particular brand of...being. It goes from hard rock with warning sirens right into a melancholy piece with solitary drum beats right into more upbeat rock and right back into the insanity.
• The credits theme, "Energy Reimei ~ Future Dream", comes off as standard fare for its category, but DiGiTAL WiNG take it upon themselves to elevate it into a ridiculously epic Eurobeat tune, dubbed "PLAZMA". Unsurprisingly enough, a MMD video followed suit.

Undefined Fantastic Object

• UFO's first stage theme, "At the End of Spring", sets the atmosphere for the entire game with its energetic, joyful, toe-tappingly catchy melody.
  • Dark PHOENiX arrangement.
  • Spring of Dreams from the Toho Euro Flash album is a delightfully catchy remix with Nazrin dancing playfully to the theme. Now with a dancing Nazrin!
  • Silent Voyage to Eternity from Demetori is a blazing metal remix that wouldn't be out of place in a Super Robot series.
  • FN2 and Rute's rockin' Eurobeat rendition, "A Moment of a Moment", incorporates the stage boss theme during its verse section.
• "A Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander", Nazrin's theme and the best Stage 1 Boss theme in the series so far. It's unusually a rock song with pseudo-guitars.
  • Here's the Dark PHOENiX arrange. Standard awesomeness disclaimer applies.
  • Pixeltune has made a really nice remix of Nazrin's theme, titled "Recital for the Tiniest Commander".
  • IRON ATTACK! was inspired by Nazrin, and gave us "A Little Magician".
  • O-Life Japan's truly EPIC remix. They managed to time stretch it (normally it's 3/4, but this remix is 4/4) without making it sound obvious, props to them!
  • Neutral2 also made a great remix.
  • A vocal version by Lyrica Live.
• Tatara Kogasa would like to warn you to "Beware Of The Umbrella Left There Forever"!
  • This rendition gives her a touch of flamenco.
  • And this one by Unlucky Morpheus makes her rock the night out.
  • Liz-Triangle makes this song overflow with sweetness. Enjoy Now indeed!
  • Buta-Otome brings SHAFT-like visuals to the mix with touching lyrics and their own unique jazzy musical style with "My Awaited Won't Come".
  • "Rainy Stars" by Kinema Kan is a beautiful song coupled with a great "Day in the Life" animation.
  • In ANOTHER example of "Touhou goes with anything", try turning Kogasa's theme into a country song.
  • Have a very beautiful rendition by Kuroneko Lounge, with rain sounds and a short but lovely vocal verse as Bookends.
• The Stage 3 theme "Sky Ruin" has been really neglected by the fans so far...
• "The Traditional Old Man and the Stylish Girl", Kumoi Ichirin (and Unzan)'s theme deserves to be on this list. IRON ATTACK! cranks up their amps to bring us this remix, "Arpeggio from High and Low".
  • Buta-Otome gives us a very stripped down, low jazz number that manages to find some serious power in the end.
  • This piano version is love at first note.
• The Stage 4 theme and Murasa's theme, "Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship" and "Captain Murasa" deserves mention here, of course.
  • As well as Liz-Triangle's remixof both.
  • Murasa is so badass, her theme is one of the few that gets an electric guitar on O-life Japan's latest album.
  • Here is a sexy remix of Murasa's stage theme from Dark PHOENIX.
  • Morrigan and WAVE deliver yet again with "Pirates of the Galaxy".
  • Pizuya's Cell metals the ever-loving hell out of Murasa's theme with "CAPTAiN ZOMViE".
  • "Starmine" is a badass vocal rendition by XL Project, which sounds like it should be in an anime.
  • Jericho's Law adds a dubstep twist to "Interdimensional Voyage" with "Like a Shipwreck".
  • Fast paced guitar, technobeats, and a rocking backdrop to the theme? "Crossanchor Murasa" from Gensou Shoujo Taisen has it all. Jam out as you drag your enemies to their watery graves.
  • Some mad genius decided to give the theme a mash up with the memetic "RED ZONE", and the result was a one hell of a fast-paced techno piece. Behold, "DEAD ZONE".
• "Rural Makai City Esoteria", the Stage 5 theme. Awesome sync with in-game sound effects and spinning projectile movement.
  • O-Life Japan gives us a remix appropriately called "The Universe's Great Leap Forward".
  • Secret Messenger's masterpiece steals the show outright in the orchestra and chanting department.
  • It's been used in this weird mashup.
• "The Tiger Patterned Vaisravana", Shou's theme.
  • The thing that makes it such a perfect song is how well it fits in-game. Other boss songs have a sort of chaotic energy bordering on playfulness (one big marker of ZUN's composition style), but Shou's theme eminates pure, raw power. And she earns it.
  • dBu takes the song to even greater Power Levels.
  • Another epic rock remix by Takase
  • This remix transforms the song into a hymn of power straight out of the cosmos. The theremins are positively orgasmic.
  • O-Life Japan delivers, yet again.
  • On the other side of the coin, there's Yellow Zebra's version.
  • A blast from the past. RIP Foreground Eclipse.
  • You can't have the avatar of Bishamonten not have an utterly epic orchestra.
  • Moro's arrangement is as crazy as Shou's boss fight.
• Behold, the stage 6 theme, "Fires of Hokkai".
  • Lucid Dream from EastNewSound & Chata is amazing. Then again, much featuring Chata is.
• "Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind", the final boss theme. Majestic and tragic, fitting Byakuren perfectly.
  • From the EWI series comes this masterpiece.
  • This remix by Sunpon is very beautiful yet driven.
  • Liz-Triangle's vocal of Byakuren's theme is wonderful.
  • "Skyscraper" by Pastry of BubbleRecords is another great piece based on Byakuren's theme.
  • Courtesy of C77, SYNC ART'S gives us Emotional Rule.
  • Combining this with her stage theme, "Fires of Hokkai", brings us this mix by Gauche.
  • "Star River" proves that IOSYS has not lost their ability to make songs of incredible quality.
  • Here, have two amazing piano versions.
  • Demetori's metal version HAS to be listed.
  • As usual, Tutti Sound created an epic version worthy of the Youchrist.
  • Instead of making this theme even more booming, instead they softened it up with Skyscraper of Passion. It's one of there best mixes.
  • This orchestral masterpiece by Sound.AVE uses both Byakuren's stage and boss themes, and creates a relentless stream of eargasm.
  • Hydrangea by Sound Online will make you cry in joy for the epic vocal remix.
  • The remix by ~xi-on~, whose techno beats paint a lovely picture of a truly epic final battle with the most peaceful Touhou character of them all.
  • Ryu-5150's JAM Project-style arrangement, "Burning Heart", is so heroic it hurts - but that's part of the fun.
  • Yuuhei Satellite's "Emotional Chemistry" brings in more senya vocal goodness.
  • The two Toho Eurobeat arrangements: "Savior of the Sky", sung by Travis "Odyssey" Stebbins; and "Cosmic Rainbow".
  • A trance version by ExiMaster.
  • "Release-Infinity", a vocal trance arrangement by EastNewSound.
  • Sound Holic's version, "Cosmic Magic Shooter", is by far the best Eurobeat arrangement of this song.
  • Hobby Atelier Carrot Wine have managed to outdo Ryu-5150 in epicness. Their version of Byakuren's theme sounds like something out of the finale of a Super Robot show.
• The Extra Stage theme, "UFO Romance in the Night Sky", is a very playful song, very befitting of its name and the concept of the Extra Stage as a search into the mystery behind the UFOs you've been seeing throughout the game. Noteworthy for containing a small sound effect which became known as a laughing youkai.
  • This idol style remix, brought to you by Sound Holic
  • Odyssey gives us another fabulous arrangement with "UFO Lover".
• A flurry of remixes has hit the internet in the days following the release of UFO. Most of them were of "Heian Alien", the Extra boss theme.
  • And the comparisons between both Nue and Flandre have created this, so even MORE people can agree that U.F. Owen was her.
  • The circle Tutti Sound has recently come out with a purely awesome classical arrange of Nue's theme that has been described as "Mussorgsky meets ZUN meets Wagner."
  • Less awesome but still relevant is Dark Phoenix's contribution, sinister and secretive.
  • Crazy Xenomorph by Demetori.
  • Floating Darkness.
  • This vocal version by C-CLAYS is horribly (in a good way) forceful and catchy.
  • DJ Command featuring Aki - "WHO?"
  • Full Power Pitchoon! Project creates an amazing arrangement that wouldn't sound out of place in a Monster Hunter game.
  • Galaxy Collapse, a remix by Kurokotei that feels like a hardcore Rhythm Game boss song.

Hisoutensoku, expanding on SWR

• Reimu's remixed spellcard theme, "Mystic Oriental Love Consultation", is very badass, and very Fatal KO-esque. It also gets the "End of Century" Mix which pays homage to "Ai Wo Torimodose", Zun style.
• Alice gets a throwback to her PC-98 days with "The Grimoire of Alice".
• Sanae breaks out her old clubroom guitar to belt out a new version of her theme "Faith Is For The Transient People".
• Utsuho brings along a nice remix of "Sun Worship of Gnosis ~ Nuclear Fusion".
• Cirno receives a very jazzy remix.
• Meiling finally gets a Hot-Blooded arrangement of her theme along with her first true fighting game appearance (she was patched in to IaMP and didn't have a theme or story mode).
• There's the final boss theme of Story Mode, "Unknown X ~ Unfound Adventure", which while being suitably lighthearted, is also grand and fitting of a boss battle.
  • This version is even grander.
  • A surprisingly gentle arrange by Riverside.
• Suwako's Last Spell theme, "The Floating Objects in the Sky X", is also amazing for the final battle high above in the skies of Gensokyo.
• The game's opening/menu theme, "Did You See That Shadow?". A wonderful remix of "Evening Sky" from SWR. And it's so dramatic! (Fitting for the game's scenario, though!)
• There's also one of the Story mode cutscene themes, "Our Hisou Tensoku". It's quite a shame actually that it's only a cutscene theme. It would be even better for the final battle than "Unknown X ~ Unfound Adventure".
  • The full version is hands down the best piece in all the fighting games so far.
  • And now apparently it's a Giant Robot theme with 900% Hot Blood added.
  • Now with animation! Apparently the kappa have access to real-world entertainment, and are fans of Mazinger Z.
  • Swing Holic Band gave it a beautifully nostalgic feeling with Hisoutensoku For Justice.
  • Then Sound Holic provides their vocal rendition of it.
  • And Ryu-5150, one of the most Hot-Blooded Power Metal arrangers on the Touhou scene, delivers the awesome in a big way.
• The staff roll theme, "The Eternal Steam Engine", sounds amazing, and it's the first time you'll hear bagpipes in Touhou. Bagpipes! "A Huge Shadow and A Tiny Conclusion" is basically a longer version of this remixed with "Oriental Sky of Scarlet Perception", double the awesomeness.

Double Spoiler

• The haunting "Bell of Avici ~Infinite Nightmare".
  • ZUN's own remix from the CD "Unknown Flower, Mesmerizing Journey".
  • And then we have SOUND HOLIC'S INFINITE WORLD which is so full of awesomeness, complete with a PV
  • If you're fond of hard electronic music, here is what Nekonotsuka did for "Bell of Avici".
  • From O-Life Japan comes an uncluttered arrange that can only be described as "techno meets classical wrapped in folk".
  • If soothing guitar and flutes is what you want, Forest306 has it covered.
• The powerful "Nemesis's Stronghold". The circle 5150 offers us a good '80s style rock arrangement.
• "The Mystery in Your Town", a theme that's not only nostalgic in title, but also in nature.
• "Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain" got a lighter, yet decent, remix.

Great Fairy Wars

• "The Refrain of the Lovely Great War", the stage 1 theme. It has an inspiring beginning, but has a touch of silliness, obviously. The original came in the CD that was included with the vol.2 of Strange and Bright Natural Beauty. Look in the supplementary material section for more information.
• "Year-Round Absorbed Curiosity", the stage 2 theme, uses the main theme song as base. As silly as the other melodies, but this one has a badass touch. An interesting melody, indeed.
  • Sound Holic has a neat remix!
  • セブンスヘブンMAXION's remix, yell☆shine☆dance!!, comes off like the Three Mischievous Fairies themselves are singing it.
• "Staking Your Life on a Prank", the boss theme for stages 1 and 2. It's gotta be real hard to make a theme that both sounds cute and sounds like a boss theme.
• "A Midnight Fairy Dance", the stage 3 theme. This is a jazzy and rhythmic melody, with a menacing touch, indicating that you're near to the final confrontation. After which, you are invited to a "Midnight Fairy Party" by WhiTECHNO.
• "Great Fairy Wars ~ Fairy Wars", the final boss theme. Quite the epic tune, with just the right amount of silliness to remind us that these are faeries.
• "Loose Rain", the Extra Stage theme. This one has a dark, intense, and sinister feel to it, perfect for the prelude leading up to the fight against Marisa.
• "Magus Night", yet another epic Marisa theme.
  Youtuber: It's like it's saying: "You're fighting Marisa? What are you, stupid? ...nevermind."
  • MIDI Orchestral Arrange, not really a remix but does sound a bit more "witchy".
    Youtuber: Sounds a hell of a lot more sinister and elegant with orchestral instruments..."
  • As usual, when things are remixed by dBu, it can only get more awesome.
  • Now IOSYS has remixed it. And it's AWESOME.
  • Rokugen Alice's metal version is made of yes and win.
  • The one used in Touhou Sky Arena, Sky of The Universe is one of the best songs in a game full of many good Touhou Vocal Remix.
  • What do we get when combine both Ruse Rain and Magus Magic together? SOUND HOLIC's KIRISAME DRIVE. The music was very hype as if Marisa's having her own concert like a certain character from Umineko: When They Cry. Wonder if Marisa's going to do duet with Jessica.

Ten Desires

• Ten Desires' soundtrack has two "layers" to it: the normal versions, and the Spirit World versions, played when you enter the game's Trance Mode. Playing them both together makes the themes that bit more awesome.
• The first stage's theme, "Night Cherry Blossoms of Dead Spirits" is strikingly beautiful, especially the piano. You'd only expect to hear a piece like this during the final stages.

• Yuyuko's new theme, "Ghost Lead", is very frantic but also a bit playful. It's also the first theme to have ZUN's trumpets return, reminding everyone that Yuyuko is powerful, but she's just messing around and isn't really a true threat anymore. Secret Messenger's Prologue & Silence turns the tune into a surprisingly melancholic yet uplifting piece.
• The second stage theme, "Welcome to the Youkai Temple" has a nice spunky beat, perfect for the mischievous spirit theme of the game. O-life's version of this really highlights the irregular timing.
• The second boss Kyouko's theme, "Youkai Girl at the Gate", has nice music switches that fit a youkai of echoes.
  • Normal/Spirit World Mix.
  • Tomoya's piano version turns a cheerful piece into something sinister and mysterious.
• The third stage's theme deserves a mention. "Let's live in a wonderful cemetary" sounds a bit strange when you first hear it, but fits surprisingly well and provides an enchanting atmosphere.
  • Normal/Spirit World Mix.
  • C-Clays turned "Wonderful Cemetary" into a country song, "Sweet Home".
  • SOUND HOLIC delivers once again with a delightfully energetic tune, "Jive at the Graveyard".
• The third boss's theme, "Rigid Paradise" is the perfect theme for new girl Yoshika Miyako, who just happens to be a stiffly Jiangshi.
  • Normal/Spirit World Mix.
  • And what happens if you dial the exotic vibes of "Rigid Paradise" up to eleven? Egyptian Zombie is what happens.
  • A Metal arrange, from the guys of Demetori: Rigid Paradise ~ Dawn of the Dead. Powerful and interesting, to say the least.
  • This vocal arrange by IOSYS combines "Rigid Paradise" with Lady Gaga, and the result is perplexingly amazing.
  • And Mohican Sandbag decides to mix "Rigid Paradise" with "Magia".
  • TAMUSIC delivers as well. Nothing classic but still bloody awesome.
  • From SOUND HOLIC comes a vocal rendition that is as diabolical as it is rocking.
  • Jerico has a very badass electro mix as well.
  • And so, before we say "Adieu, to this Lively Graveyard" and move on to the next stage, Akatsuki Records would like to tell us the story about "The Spirit Puppet, Or Rather Her Love And Resuscitation", two covers of the same track that are so different, it's hard to believe they're by the same group.
• "Desire Drive", the Stage 4 theme, is an upbeat tune that will make you want to dance. Or shoot down fairies and spirits while flying at high speeds through an underground tunnel.
  • It also translates to the PC-98 midi quite well.
  • Floating Cloud's folk rendition turns the theme into something you really want to dance with.
  • The White Sea (白い海) from Yonder Voice's first piano/vocal album is absolutely beautiful and heartwrenching.
  • Akatsuki Records kills it AGAIN with Necromantic.
• And speaking of Stage 4, Seiga Kaku's theme, "Old Yuanxian", has a fun, fast paced rhythm, perfect for the fight against her and Yoshika.
  • Normal/Spirit World Mix.
  • Its Trance version is as sinister as Satori's theme, if not more. You can feel raw wickedness in it.
  • Want some epic orchestrals? Hobby Atellier Carrot Wine is your group.
  • From AQUASTYLE comes another orchestral arrange that is as soulful as it is energetic.
• The Stage 5 theme, "Dream Palace Great Mausoleum". It's a more peaceful, soothing Stage 5 theme, but it's still a good theme. O-Life Japan's orchestral remix also keeps that in mind.
• Mononobe no Futo's theme, "Omiwa Legend". Not as intense as Seiga's theme, but it's still quite boss-like.
  • This remix of it by dBu adds a suitably mysterious and even more elegant feel to it.
  • O-Life Japan presents a well-done traditional rendition that seems to come out from the Okami soundtrack.
  • AQUASTYLE delivers again with a bombastic orchestral arrange.
• The Stage 6 theme "Starry Sky of Small Desires". It's all DJ like, yet fitting for when you encounter Miko. As such, has much UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ.
  • While not exactly a remix, the piano works beautifully with the theme.
  • Many remixers are staying faithful to the source for this song. Jun.A makes the final stage sound even more epic.
  • And TAMUSIC brought out the emotional side of the theme in his version very well.
• Toyosatomimi no Miko's theme, "Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator", starts off calm, then quickly picks up the pace and gradually turns into a song fitting of the final boss and ancient saint.
  • Hachimistu-Lemon remixed it into True Desire while somewhat preserving the atmosphere of the original song.
  • IOSYS finally gives us an excellent remix, Miracle Miko-tan is excellent, right?.
  • Let's go back in time to "Saint Force" by ALiCE'S EMOTiON.
  • What started out as a one-time joke for the beginning of this Walfas video led to enough public demand that Youtuber Spaztique (using the artist name Spaztique Explosive) created a full version of "Dance Sign ~ Rave In The Divine Spirit Mausoleum".
  • From EastNewSound we have "Endless Time Cycle ~Repeat~".
  • After a really long hiatus, the EWI series returns, and the awesomeness has not died down at all.
  • Some "easy listening" synth metal for you.
  • CarrotWine is sometimes all you need.
• The NICE EX stage theme, "Youkai Back Shrine Road".
• Mamizou Futatsuiwa's theme, "Futatsuiwa from Sado", is very light, fun, and upbeat for an Extra Boss. Such a playful theme is fitting for what many believe to be a very goofy-looking Extra Boss, with very fun and... interesting spell cards.
  • Liz Triangle's version captures the playfulness perfectly, with lily-an's wonderful voice adding extra enjoyment.
  • FlanGoY takes his flute to Mamizou's theme with great effect.
  • Relative newcomer Mojii put out a trancy version recently on Sound Cloud.
  • Somehow, EastNewSound created a dance version that's surprisingly haunting and mournful despite its beat.
  • Yuuhei Satellite impresses us yet again with their own vocalized version.
  • From K2 SOUND comes an arrangement that turns the energetic piece into a slow tune with a folk dressing.
  • How about a piano piece by Assultdoor?

Hopeless Masquerade

• "Shinkirou Orchestra", the title screen that was previously used in the trailer, is pretty cool. And someone has already created a MIDI version of it.
• Reimu rocks out with a remix of "Spring Lane ~ Colorful Path". And C-CLAYS turns that into something nearly heartbreaking courtesy of Mai Kotohge.
• Marisa's theme, "Magus Night", is an awesome arrange that trades the original's intensity for strings and piano.
• Ichirin gets a jazzy remix of her theme, "The Traditional Old Man and the Stylish Girl".
• Byakuren's theme, "Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind" is fast-paced and somewhat relaxed.
• Futo combines many different cultures with "Legend of the Great Gods".
• Miko's "Shotoku Legend ~ True Administrator" carries a similar intensity to the original.
• Nitori apparently took up the flute, as her theme, "Akutagawa Ryunnosuke's Kappa ~ Candid Friend", shows.
• Koishi's theme, "Hartmann's Youkai Girl", is just as mysterious and jumpy as she is.
• Mamizou has two awesome themes which both do the original justice:
  • Her fake theme, an arrange of "Futatsuiwa from Sado", plays when you battle her disguised as another character.
  • Her real theme, however, is a new tune called "Futatsuiwa from Gensokyo", which plays when you battle her in her normal form.
• The theme for Hata no Kokoro, "Lost Emotion", accurately portrays the finality of the battle and the personality of Hata no Kokoro. Bonus points for it also being the theme for her final boss fight. After all, this is her story.
  • This official remix was never used in game.
  • This rock remix, absolutely amazing.
  • JacK the EmotioN ~Lost Desire~, another rock remix.
  • RD-Sounds's "Heart Fabric Tower 「Shinkirou」", set to traditional rock, is a comedic retelling of the events of Hopeless Masquerade, with the singer changing tones for every playable character featured in the game... except Koishi.
  • "Poker Face" by ZYTOKINE is a very atmospheric Electro House remix of Kokoro's theme that manages to capture her character perfectly with itori's superb vocals.
  • Iron Attack delivers a classic metal performance.
  • This fantastic rendition of The Lost Emotion done by Prismriver Orchestra perfectly captures Kokoro's turmoil and, if you replay it at the right time, loops around itself perfectly.
  • Here's a Synthwave-arrangement of Hata no Kokoro's theme done by the criminally underrated artist TheGoldenProof.
• Twilight Frontier seem to have decided to put an incredibly badass song that most people will only hear a fraction of in every Touhou game they make. The Last Word theme, Last Word Unleashed only ever plays for a few seconds and quite possibly exceeds even "Our Hisou Tensoku" in awesomeness.
• At the end of it all, the theme for the credits, "Officially-Sanctioned Twilight Newspaper", makes sure the game ends on a good note.

Double Dealing Character

• The title theme, "Mysterious Exorcism Rod", has a foreboding yet whimsical tone to it that's very pleasing to listen to.
  • Xi-on in particular has uplifted the piece rather quite well.
  • O-life Japan's folk rendition is energetic as it is whimsical.
• "Mist Lake", the stage 1 theme, has a light tune with a hint of resolve. Perfect for a fresh start to a new adventure. Kou Ogata of k-waves LAB created a short remix with an Irish touch.
• Wakasagihime's theme, "Mermaid From The Uncharted Land", blasts us with some rocking metal before shifting to the more familiar repeating rhythm usually associated with stage 1 bosses. And trust dBu to come up with a rock arrangement that turns up its intensity, even with the unusual sort of instruments used.
• The stage 2 theme, "Humans and Youkai Coming and Going at the Canal", has a vaguely mysterious feel to it. Rather fitting for when Sekibanki does her surprise head trick half-way through the stage.
• Sekibanki's actual theme, "Dullahan Under the Willows", has very catchy metal segments along with bringing to mind a feeling of playfulness at some parts, and seriousness at others.
  • Among the noteworthy arrangements of the theme is this rock remix by Buta-Otome.
  • From O-Life Japan comes a modern-traditional rendition that encapsulates the best of both music styles.
  • Shibayan's vocal arrange "Tobidase! Bankikki" is surprisingly cute.
• The stage 3 theme, "Bamboo Forest of the Full Moon", has a very energetic and frantic feel to it, along with containing a portion of the piano for "Retribution for the Eternal Night" mid-way through. Here, have a fantastic piano arrange.
• Kagerou's theme, "Lonesome Werewolf", has a very sinister sounding opening, which eventually gives way to an elegant segment of ZUN's signature trumpets. Candy & Jam ups the ante with an orchestral rendition with a heightened sinister edge.
• "Magical Storm" has a heavy but rhythmic feel to it. Combined with the lightning flashes in the background of the stage itself, and you have yourself a rather electrifying stage 4 theme. And what conducts electricity? Metal.
• The Tsukumo sisters' theme, "Illusionary Joururi", is a gorgeous mix of modern and traditional instruments, perfectly fitting the two instrument tsukumogami.
  • TAM was here. Commence emotional music.
  • Have some Crow's Claw!
  • SOUND HOLIC's "World of Tsukumo" combines both this theme and "Magical Storm" into an incredibly catchy techno-rock duet.
  • RD-Sounds presents "Tsukumo Melody Tale", a traditional rock duet in which the singers playfully exclaim the beauty of music.
  • Leave it to O-LIFE.JP to deliver intricate interplays between western and traditionally Japanese instruments.
  • A complextro arrange for a complex track.
• The stage 5 theme, "The Shining Needle Castle Sinking In The Air", has a serene yet incredibly eerie feel to it. One could say that it's the calm before the storm for Seija's appearance.
  • An amazing piano remix of the theme made it sound even more lonely and eerie.
  • HertzDevil provides a PC-98 instrumental arrange.
• Seija's theme, "Reverse Ideology", is incredibly fast-paced and mischievous sounding, suiting her chaotic and reversed nature.
  • Similar to Koishi's theme, it also sounds nearly identical when played backwards.
  • And, as one could only expect from the Amanojaku's fan following, it didn't take long before amazing remix-music met with Camera Screw in "死神×Resistance".
  • Sound Holic saves the day!
  • From the depths of YouTube comes a peculiar arrange that wouldn't sound out of place in the 1920s.
  • And just when you think you've heard it all, there's now a freaky-fast rap remix, courtesy of TAMAONSEN.
  • You haven't seen anything yet. Check out Jerico's absolutely hardcore dubstep-electro remix of Seija's theme, which includes a hard beat, an ominous choir, and a very villainous buildup.
• "The Exaggerated Castle Keep", the stage 6 theme, is calm, yet with a feeling of direness, containing a portion of "Little Princess"'s tune.
• Shinmyoumaru's theme, "Inchlings of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess", exudes a dignified and powerful aura for such a small person. As people often describe, her theme isn't about the heroines fighting her, it's about her fighting the heroine!
  • From the creator of the MIDI of Sekibanki's theme comes one for "Little Princess".
  • Here, have a glorious PC-98 style arrangement.
  • Xi-on's orchestrated version is even better.
  • And amongst all of the orchestral arranges comes Demetori out of nowhere with an intense metal arrange.
• The extra stage theme, "Thunderclouds of Magical Power", has an ominous yet uplifting feel to it. And Odyssey's lyrics make the song downright MENACING.
• Raiko's theme, "Primordial Beat ~ Pristine Beat", is unique in that it heavily features percussion along with the usual instruments in ZUN's repertoire. And it works.
  • This duet arrangement mixes in some rocking guitar along with the drums.
  • Komeiji Records gives us Pristine War Machine.
  • O-Life Japan gave us a version that goes even heavier on the drums. And it is powerful.
  • Extra drums with a side of flute, anyone?
  • GaMetal's cover provides a healthy dose of electric guitar, but the standout is the drum solo at just after the 3-minute mark simply for how much power it exudes.
• "Magical Power of the Mallet", the ending theme, is an absolutely beautiful rendition of "Little Princess".
• The staff roll theme, "Strange, Strange Instruments", is a simultaneously energetic and calm remix of Mysterious Exorcism Rod.

Impossible Spell Card

• The title screen theme "Raise the Flag of Cheating" is more energetic than usual. The piano arrangement "Raise The Flag of Foul Play" by Komeiji Records adds a sense of fear. Best part? This remix was made BEFORE the actual release of the game.
• The stage 1 and 2 theme "Cheat Against Impossible Danmaku" has a familiar melody in the beginning.
• Stage 3 and 4's theme "Midnight Spell Card" has a "night rushing" feel to it.
• "Romantic Escape Flight", in stages 5-7, has a large amounts of flute and electric guitar in combo.
  • As usual, k-waves LAB tunes it up into a worthwhile folk piece.
  • If you like metal, you'll like Dominated fLIGHT.
• Stages 8 to the Last Day has "Eternal Transient Reign", which has a neutral mood.
  • That doesn't mean one can't make any serious renditions, though.
  • The classical remix by Unchiku Company mixes the playfulness with a bit of musical grandeur.
  • Metal lover? Alex Yin has you covered.

Urban Legend in Limbo

• "Occult à La Carte" brings occultism on the plate, with a dash of insanity and spookiness, and light-hearted fun.
• "Seven-Orb Collection Showdown" has an oriental, and otherwise ancient feel.
• "Fair Scramble", the theme usually associated with Ichirin, is rather catchy, and suitable for a quick brawl on a night for telling stories.
• "Bell of Antipodes" immediately presents you with a fearsome urban legend.
• "Bamboo Forest in Flames" is a theme that suits battles versus Mokou, and generally fighting it out with all one's scary might.
• For this game, Reimu uses an electronic remix of Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Red and White.
• Marisa gets a Jazzy remix of Love-Coloured Master Spark.
• Ichirin gets a more upbeat remix of The Traditional Old Man and the Stylish Girl.
• Byakuren's new remix of Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind opts for a much more intense pace, fitting of her Occult attacks.
• Like Marisa, Futo also opts for a Jazz remix of Legend of the Great Gods.
• Miko rocks out with her new remix of Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator.
• Nitori trades in her flute for trumpets in her new arrange of Candid Friend.
• Koishi's new Rock arrange of Hartmann's Youkai Girl captures the creepiness of Koishi and her Urban Legend.
• Mamizou goes for a Rock remix of Futatsuiwa from Gensokyo. Then HertzDevil did an 8-bit version of this arrange, which feels like something what would have become commonplace in a NES Konami game.
• Hata no Kokoro gets an awesome new arrange of The Lost Emotion.
• Fujiwara no Mokou jumps into the fray as a playable character with a chaotic remix of Reach For the Moon, Immortal Smoke.
• It's certainly a feat to top Sukuna's theme Little Princess but this remix of it certainly does it.
• All five early pre-battle themes are nostalgic and tranquil.
  • This upload has Forms of Manifested Folklore unintentionally slower than usual, and it is markedly different.
  • "Those Who Know the Truth" is urgent and eerie, fitting for the moment you meet the one who seems to be the mastermind...
  • "Outside World Folklore" is eccentric, and sets the mood for speaking with the high schooler behind it all.
• Kasen enters the fray as both a playable character and a midboss with her theme, Battlefield of the Flower Threshold. It also helps that this is the theme for the penultimate boss in Story Mode. The album has a slower arrange more fitting of Kasen's usual personality.
• Newcomer Sumireko Usami's theme Last Occultism ~ Esotericist of the Present World captures the feel of the final battle in the cityscape of the Outside World. And then ZUN remixed it for "Strange Creators of Outer World".
  • BUTAOTOME grants us Two Cinemas for a feeling akin to a crazy dance.
  • An arrange by U2 from the album A Deeply Mystic Music Collection ~ Sumireko Usami and the Clubroom of Secrets.
  • Karasu delivers a fantastic arrangement that expresses the earnest feelings of the lone high school girl.
• The ending theme, "Each Ending" is quite beautiful. And so is the staff roll, "The Arcane is Revealed", solemn and honestly quite epic.
• From the PS4 version:
  • Reisen gets a remix of "Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon", arranged by BeatMARIO (the guy who did "Night of Nights") no less!
  • For the final battle of Reisen's story, ZUN remixed "Unfound X ~ Unfound Adventure" into the even more intense "Unknown X ~ Occultly Madness".

Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom

• The main menu theme "The Space Shrine Maiden Appears" sounds strange and fantastical, readying you for the journey to come.
  • For something even more fantastical, how about a funky dubstep piece?
  • This house arrangement is equally fantastic, with dubstep beats mixing with traditional instruments.
• The first stage theme, "Unforgettable, The Nostalgic Greenery has an alien feeling, reminiscent of the PC-98 days.
  • From this, O-Lifel makes a nice piece that captures the loveliness of the piece.
  • This 8-bit rendition of the theme isn't half-bad, either.
• By 12 May (which is the second day after the demo release), there was already a well-done piano arrange by Komeiji Records of "The Rabbit Has Landed", the boss theme for the Stage 1 Boss, Seiran. This 8-bit arrange was published on the same day as the demo release.
  • Like techno with your jazz? Jericho's Law has your back.
  • TatshMusicCircle serves an electric METAL RABBIT with a surprising guitar accompaniment.
  • Combining tango, waltz, and bossa nova is the amazingly upbeat and danceworthy Strawberry Tango by Ringing Volcano, which mixes this theme with September Pumpkin.
• Going to the secret base by the lake in the Youkai Mountain, we are treated to "The Lake Reflects the Pure Moonlight". The heavy atmosphere of the theme is also present in this 8-bit remix.
• From the demo, it looks like Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom will be a ton harder than the other games. Not surprising, then, that "September Pumpkin", only the Stage 2 boss theme, is awesome enough for a final boss battle.
  • dBu provides an interesting take to the mix, combining techno with traditional music in a fast-packed piece.
  • Heres a nice one by Jericho's Law.
• The third stage in the Dream World brings "The Mysterious Shrine Maiden Flying Through Space" and a sense of flying through fantasy.
• Doremy Sweet, the stage 3 boss, has "Eternal Spring Dream". It certainly sounds very dreamy. Melodic Taste, on the other hand, turns it into a bombastic arrangement worthy of an orchestra.
  • On the other hand, if you want something to rock out then dBu has you covered.
  • Would you like some techno and chiptune by PHOENIX Project with your dreams?
  • Jericho's Law returns with their classical-dubstep mix of the theme. Sweet Dreams.
• The fourth stage theme, "Frozen Eternal Capital", lonely and cold as well as very mysterious. It really makes you wonder "What happened here?". It also bears a similar feel to Imperishable Night's stage 4 theme to tie in the lunar feel both games bore.
  • This orchestral arrangement from the circle Melodic Taste ironically conveys quite a bit of life as well as triumph and calm.
  • If you like piano, then have a lovely piano arrange by Aka Kyuketsuki.
• The theme of the fourth stage boss Sagume Kishin, "The Reversed Wheel of Fortune" is strange and off-putting, and invokes a sense of power. Fitting, given she is a Lunarian with a terrible power.

• The stage five theme, "Faraway 380,000 Kilometer Voyage" is quite literally out of this world. And again, trust Melodic Taste to remix it to yet another orchestral classic.
• Clownpiece clowns around to her powerful, yet silly leitmotif "Pierrot of the Star-Spangled Banner".
  • For a more dignified remix, CarrotWine provides a powerful orchestral arrangement to enjoy.
  • Melodic Taste has the same idea.
  • One Youtuber played the tune on an actual accordion, and it's magnificent.
    Youtuber: It's like this song was made to be played with this instrument.
  • What would happen if you mix tango, swing jazz, classical tunes, and electronic mixes into a song? You'll get SWING HOLIC's amazingly energetic and head-bopping CLOWNPIECE.
  • WARNING! is a great remix. Funnily enough, the entire thing is rendered in Engrish.
  • This crazy hardstyle/hardcore arrangement will certainly wake you up.
  • +TEK's arrangement of Clownpiece's theme from his third arrangement album: "Phantasmagoria of F.M." is simply sublime. Having a distinct inspiration on arcade shooters from the 90's, thanks to the FM Synthesis audio, it has a very peculiar sound that gets you pumping into the powerful beat.
  • On the vocal side of shredding your face off, Sound Holic drops in with 血月の心音.

• Over the Sea of Tranquility, "The Sea Where the Home Planet is Reflected", the final stage theme, perhaps the most beautiful and tragic ever composed. And while the original might be sad, this remix turns it instead into a triumphant march.
• Reprising the stage theme, the simple elegance, and straight-forward raw power of the final boss track; "Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart".
  • Here is a piano-only version. As with everything piano-only it sounds a lot sadder and more tragic than the original which considering Junko's history is entirely appropriate.
  • An epic orchestra arrange by crescentia that starts low and slow, but eventually picks up its power without going overboard.
  • Another orchestral arrange that goes full-power from the start and never lets up.
  • A techno arrange that will induce even more sweat than fighting against Junko herself on Lunatic difficulty would, while staying true to the "spacey" sound of the original.
  • Yet another orchestra arrange, this time going strong with the string intruments and powerful trumpets.
  • It really says something about the song's sheer power when an 8-bit Gameboy remix still sounds like a Pokemon Champion battle in terms of epicness.
  • A beautiful orchestra-metal arrange with Chinese lyrics here.
  • And now, something to rock out to.
  • One Youtuber changes the melody into something somber and powerful, slowly raising the emotions of tune into a beautiful, yet melancholic expression of Junko's rage and sadness.
  • Toa joins Yuuhei Satellite with a techno-rock performance in "Someone lying within my heart". Her vocals are so well-received, she got invited to a collaboration between the circle and Active NEETs' symphony, uplifting the song into a more solemn experience as the two circles provide both a vocal version and an orchestral version.
• The Extra Stage theme, "A Never-Before-Seen World of Nightmares", sets an ominous yet energetic tone for the long and difficult road ahead, as well as the dreaded rematch with Doremy.
• Hecatia Lapislazuli's theme, "Pandemonic Planet", has a mischievous and chaotic tone to it. Partially through the song, there's a pause followed by a more dramatic and energetic melody—which usually coincides with the first time Junko hops in for her turn during the battle.
  • And there's an arrangement that starts out as baroque and becomes lovely metal.
  • And an epic duet of an electric guitar and a violin.
  • Here's an orchestral arrangement that does a great job conveying the feeling of fighting one of the most powerful beings in the series.
  • This rocking vocal cover by AbsoЯute Zero. Rute's singing voice mixes well with the guitar and synth combo for a fun and intense remix. When translated, the lyrics are awesome too, effectively being Break Them by Talking in a musical form from Hecatia's point of view, basically calling out her opponent (presumably Sanae due to using her "Freaky T-Shirt weirdo" quote) as completely deluded.

Antinomy of Common Flowers

• Eientei has a rocking new theme, Corridor that Goes On for Eternity.
• Mushroom Waltz encompasses Kourindou with a jazzy atmosphere.
• Reimu's stage theme is the triumphant return of The Ground's Color is Yellow - Primrose now with a guitar and flute backing up the instrumentation.
• "Immortal Red Soul", which plays in the Bamboo Forest, will have you rocking out to it as you duke it out. Interestingly enough, it seems to sound like a mix between "Last Remote", parts of "Bamboo Forest in Flames" and the Power Rangers theme.
• The new remix of Sumireko's theme, Last Occultism ~ Esotericist of the Present World swaps the dramatics of the original to a much more playful piece that incorporates both ghostly and electronic noises, fitting for a modern high school girl who is obsessed with the occult.

• Yukari's boss theme The Yorimashi Sits Between Dream and Reality ~ Necro-Fantasia which takes cues from both Charming Dominion, Necro-Fantasy, and of course Necrofantasia to make a foreboding remix that perfectly illustrates the mystique and power of the Youkai Sage.
• Yukari brings back the ominous and chaotic Night Falls ~ Evening Star, this time taking cues from the fan remix heard in Concealed the Conclusion and dialing up the psychedelic factor.
• "Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist (Live ver.) ~ Egoistic Flowers" the boss theme against the Yorigami sisters, a nearly 4 minute ballad performed live in-universe by the Prismriver Sisters and Raiko and incorporates the musical styles of each for a song so energetic that the track is backed by the cheers of the concert attendees.
  • Ready to have your faces torn off? Demetori have arrived.
  • Or if you want a vocal version, try this glorious example from Yuuhei Satellite, titled "If You'll Embark Towards Zero".
  • The 17.5 version has a distinct Arabian vibe to represent the sisters trying to be oil barons.
• Tenshi is back and has brought both her battle theme and her pre-battle theme back with her. But not before giving the former a catchy jazzy remix for this game while the latter gets the former's heavenly style.
• The ending theme, Floating with the Tide is a beautiful melancholic piano tune. Thus ends this incident of flawless possession.

Hidden Star in Four Seasons

• The title theme greets us with the light-hearted yet somewhat serious "Cherry Blossom Dancing in the Sky".
• Stage 1 has our characters flying to the exhilarating tune of "A Star of Hope Rises in the Blue Sky".
• Eternity Larva's theme, "A Midsummer Fairy's Dream", is incredibly intense, especially for a Stage 1 fairy boss.
• Flying over the autumnal part of Gensokyo, the cheer of the previous theme changes to the melancholic "Autumn Winds on Youkai Mountain".
• Deep-Mountain Encounter, the theme for the Stage 2 boss Sakata Nemuno has struck a particular chord with the fandom for its sinister intro followed by its heroic main tune.
• Heading back to the Hakurei Shrine, we are treated with the aptly named "Swimming in a Cherry Blossom Colored Sea", the Stage 3 theme. From this, circle Lowlands Blossom created their own orchestral take,"The Mystical Turn of Seasons"
• Aunn Komano adds to the musical repertoire with the appropriately divine-sounding "A Pair of Divine Beasts". A beautiful piano arrange further adds an extra shine.

• For Stage 4, we are treated to the wintry "Illusionary White Traveler". It starts with a melancholic tone, but quickly switches to an upbeat one. Fitting for a winter that's taking place in summer.
• "The Magic Straw-Hat Jizo" is an unexpectedly powerful theme for Narumi Yatadera, the Stage 4 boss. Jerico's Law has arranged the track in big beat-style in a manner that cranks the power levels up to eleven.
• The Stage 5 theme, "Does the Forbidden Door Lead to This World, or the World Beyond?" is as eerie as the title is long.
• The dual bosses of Stage 5, Satono Nishida and Mai Teireida, present themselves with the cacophonous-sounding "Crazy Backup Dancers".
  • Reversed piano sounds are particularly appropriate for this pair.
  • And if you like Russian Hardbass club music, you'll like "Crazy Slav Dancers" by Lenk64.
  • Akatsuki Records has Trance Dance Anarchy, both catchy and creepy.
  • Eons Awake's Battling The Crazy Backups treats us to a "bizarre drumstep/metal hybrid" that brings out the chaos of the original theme by good usage of dischords and distorted sounds.
• Stage 6 greets us with the ominous and atmospheric "Into the Backdoor".
• At last, the final boss faces us with "The Concealed Four Seasons", which contains hints of Okina Matara's true power.
  • Nana Takahashi and SOUND HOLIC obviously wouldn't let any boss theme slide without a rocky eurobeat remix, so they turned this theme into the powerful "WORLD DOMINATION".
  • Akatsuki Records, for their part, composed "METAMORPHOSIS" as a magnificent celebration to the mysterious and secretive hidden god. Sing! Dance! Keniyasahanam!
  • Lenk64's arrange simply called "Concealed" blends the Metal chords with heavy synths for a very high-energy yet emotional take on the theme.
• The Extra Stage plunges us back to the eerie world of the back-doors with the equally eerie "No More Going Through Doors".
• The Extra Boss theme, "Hidden Star in All Seasons" blazes in powerful glory as Okina Matara returns and shows her true power as one of the Sages of Gensokyo.

Violet Detector

• The title screen envelops us in an eerie and ominous mood befitting of an occultist with Diary of Nightmares. Odyssey & The DNA Team deliver an amazing Villain Song for the Dream Selves with Nightmares.
• The first week's theme, Lucid Dreamer is rather otherworldly and somewhat off-putting.
• The third week's theme, Nightmare Diary, makes you feel as if you're stuck in nightmare upon nightmare with no escape.

Wily Beast and Weakest Creature

• The sounds of animal spirits' harshness and feral nature as conveyed by the title theme, "Unspeaking Beast Spirits".
• Stage 1 brings the melancholic and eerie yet pleasant "The Lamentations Known Only by Jizo". Lowlands Blossom's rendition brings out the majesty of the piece.
• Eika Ebisu's "Jelly Stone" lets it be known that while she may be just be a carefree stone-stacking child god, she is not to be trifled with. Or so the mood of the track suggests. And trust YouTube to make a banging DnB and 8-bit NES Cover in record time.
• Through stage 2 and the Sanzu River we are treated to the awesome eeriness of "Lost River".
• Urumi's theme "The Stone Baby and the Submerged Bovine" is a dark and heavy track that shifts into a strange lightness. Fitting for a devilish being like her.
• Stage 3 gives us the quirky "Everlasting Spider Lily" as we cross the border to Hell.
• Crazy time signatures and chickens clucking in Kutaka's fun track "Seraphic Chicken".
• The Stage 4 theme, Unlocated Hell, is a dramatic song that conveys the dire urgency of the heroines' quest as they fly through Hell.
• Yachie's theme, "Tortoise Dragon ~ Fortune And Misfortune", is a powerful draconic theme for one of the heads of the Beast Kingdom.
• The Stage 5 theme, "Beast Metropolis", is oddly tranquil for this late in the game, but with a dark undercurrent that reminds the player they are not somewhere safe.
• Mayumi, the stage 5 boss, has "Joutounin of the Ceramics", a hectic theme for the confrontation with the Big Bad's second-in-command.

• Stage 6 has Electric Heritage, fitting for the Very Definitely Final Dungeon. It also presents us with the final boss' leitmotif.
• Entrusting this World to Idols ~ Idolatrize World, Keiki Haniyasushin's theme, cannot get more final boss-sounding with its menacing and epic intro telling you you're very very screwed facing the idolmaker god in the skies above Primate Garden.
  • Yuuhei Satellite made this theme even better with the help of senya's vocal and Iceon's emotional electronic arrange, titled "Unfilthed Euphoria".
  • This vocal arrange from Pizuya's Cell features a structure and tone being nigh-identical to "Gurenge" from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Not only that, but the circle also made a stunning 360-degree music video to accompany the song.
  • This trumpet cover is amazing in every way.
• The Extra Stage theme, "The Shining Law of the Strong Eating the Weak", lets you know that a very strong being has appeared in hell itself.
• Saki Kurokoma's theme, "Prince Shoutoku's Pegasus ~ Dark Pegasus", is a fun old western theme that also emphasizes how powerful and rowdy Saki is.

Gouyoku Ibun

• Both of Yuuma's themes, "Memento of an Avaricious Beast" and "Memento of All Organisms ~ Memory of Fossil Energy" fits the high stakes of facing off against the third animal leader herself and particularly incorporates parts of Wily Beast's Unlocated Hell theme.
• This game's remix of "Walking the Streets of a Former Hell" is catchy, laid-back, and makes great use of traditional Japanese instruments.

Unconnected Marketeers

• The title theme, "A Rainbow Spanning Gensokyo", is one of the calmest title themes in the series, perfectly fitting this game's lighter tone.
• The Stage 3 theme, "The Perpetual Snow Of Komakusa Blossoms", is one of the happiest and most upbeat themes in the series, mostly due to being one of the few Touhou songs in a major key.
  • Komakusa Jazz by Broken Moon is a wonderful, mellow arrangement of this theme. It captures the same feelings of the original stage 3 theme perfectly.
  • Here's a mashup with "Snow Halation". The similarities between the two songs allow them to mash up smoothly.
• Sannyo's theme, "Smoking Dragon", is shockingly intense and climactic for a third boss theme, even using the "Theme Of Eastern Story" leitmotif for a lot of its melody. Roar, Eternal Flame! by Karasu turns this song into a really good symphonic metal piece. It feels lighter than the boss theme, yet still epic at the same time.
• The Stage 4 theme, "The Obsolescent Industrial Remains", uses guitar and flute to great effect to create the feeling of traveling through a mineshaft. Maritsumi has a good arrangement of this theme called Industrial Remains; it's an electronic instrumental piece with drum and bass elements. It reflects the same sense of calmness seen in the original, while also adding a hint of danger. The violin part is also good.
• Misumaru's theme, "Ore from the Age of the Gods", has a steady intensity combined with mystery to reflect the fact that you're battling a very old god.
• The Stage 5 theme, "The Long-Awaited Oumagatoki", sets the atmosphere as the late evening of the stage with the sun shining under a red sky transitions to the beautiful night sky of the stage's latter portion.
• Megumu's theme, "Starry Mountain of Tenma", is an impressive-sounding and bombastic, yet mysterious track for one of the proudest and most cunning of tengu. Very fitting for a night under the stars. Login Records deliver a euphoric hardstyle banger called "Nebula".
• The Stage 6 theme, "Lunar Rainbow", is a stunningly beautiful buildup to the final boss with some insane piano riffs. It's also the first Stage 6 theme since "Ten Desires" to not use the final boss's leitmotif. Maritsumi is back again with another great drum and bass arrangement, Luna Rainbow. It captures the same feeling as the original stage theme, but at a slightly more upbeat pace.
• Chimata's theme, "Where Is That Bustling Marketplace Now ~ Immemorial Marketeers" is one of the most experimental final boss themes, jumping between melodies at a frantic pace befitting the game's chaotic final battle.
  • Chocofan made a great electronic arrangement, LunaRainbow~marketeer, released only a day after the game's official release! The cheering (or choir?) samples at the start are magnificent, and the vocals are nice as well.
  • Chimata's theme is a FANTASTIC blank slate for various kinds of music as these three arrangements prove. ZUN outdid himself yet again.
• The Extra Stage theme, "The Great Fantastic Underground Railway Network", amps up the tension by using most of the game's prominent instruments.
• Momoyo's theme, "The Princess Who Slays Dragon Kings", is one of the most upbeat extra boss themes in the whole series with a triumphant chorus that signals the end of the game proper.
  • Chocofan made another good arrangement, Mining & Eating, that sounds somewhere between rock and Eurobeat. It feels like you want to drift to it, and it's very catchy as well.
  • Clumsy Record has a great hardcore techno arrangement, Break Centipede. It feels like it'd go hard at a rave.

Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost

• Ran's return to the main series is celebrated with a modern, frantic yet still mystical arrangement of her PCB extra stage theme in the form of Spiritual Domination ~ Who done it!
• Yachie comes in swinging with a frenzied rendition of "Tortoise Dragon ~ Fortune and Misfortune", which features an epic choir to signify the matron of the Kiketsu family stepping in personally to prevent her plans from being overturned in the chaos of the incident.
• Son Biten, the (alleged) reincarnation of Sun Wukong, soars into the fray with "Tiny Shangri-La", a powerful, nostalgic theme with distinctly Chinese elements. This track also is the first to use the erhu as a lead instrument, which enhances the feeling of facing a legendary and wise sage. Even if the story is fabricated.
• Enoko's theme, "A Brave and Leisurely Beast", carries both bite and a strange wistfulness in an otherwise upbeat and emotionally charged package.
• The beautiful Hisami Yomotsu brings wistfulness with "The Path to Yomi Where None Turn Back". The melancholy of this track is equally matched by its frantic energy, almost like having reached the point of no return which you can never escape from.
• Chiyari's theme, "Vampiric Cryptid Chupacabra", is a sinister track with a peculiar cadence for a monstrous person who only concerns herself with lounging around feasting on blood. Despite that, the track has a weirdly melodic and almost beautiful feeling at times.
• Zanmu Nippaku, the final boss and new resident of Hell, gets a grand theme in The Deviants' Unobstructed Light ~ Kingdom of Nothingness, which features the unusual element in a ZUN track of a tribal-sounding vocal that cries periodically through the track, complementing the dark instrumental.
