Touhoid Prime

Not quite what I announced last week, but…here’s a little something I felt like doing. Maybe some of you remember my crossover song Super Touhoid – Lower Gensokyo? If not, here it is:

So, basically, I wanted to give it a little upgrade. There are still some parts that I might change until the final release, but this should give you a very good idea how Touhoid Prime – Former Hell of Blazing Fires sounds. It doesn’t sound as menacing as Lower Gensokyo, especially the Nuclear Fusion parts sound more like “welcome home”. Naturally, since the former hell of blazing fires IS pretty much Okuu’s place anyway. But it has changed…

 

This song wasn’t planned for now, after all both songs (Lower Norfair and Nuclear Fusion) were featured in last week’s upload for the fire element. What I actually had in mind since then was actually quite different. I wanted to make a remix of Torri’s theme (Monochromatic Color) from the RPG Conception II. The song has a nice beat to it, but it can’t really be compared to other songs I usually do. Why do I want to make a remix then? Let’s say personal reasons, k? Gotta make it…more interesting~

As of now, I’m not done sequencing the song, but close. Since there isn’t much, I’ll have to arrange it quite a bit and maybe throw in some other stuff as usual. I’ll likely increase the tempo, 124bpm is a bit slow for my standards (the Touhoid Prime song above has 190bpm…). I’m curious how this will turn out in the end! While the game just sounds wrong most of the time (it’s intentionally very suggestive), it has an amazing soundtrack, especially some great battle themes, maybe I’ll give them a shot one day too!

We like Ike!

I see this as a birthday present from Nintendo. For me, Ike was always a very inspiring character and his Radiant Dawn outfit makes him look even more badass than ever before. To celebrate this, here’s a little fun mix including quite a few FE tunes which will show who’s the better FE Smash Bro!

I still wonder if Chrom will make it into Smash Bros. though. I was sure they would include him or Lucina. I wonder if that is the case?

Also, don’t forget to vote in the Touhou poll!

Touhou poll

While I’m doing lots of research in a desperate attempt to take my music to the next level, I have another poll for you.

This time it’s about Touhou songs! It’s quite different from the last voting, because you basically decide which one of them will be made while the other ideas will get abandoned.

There’s one more or less memorable song from every main series Touhou game. Choose wisely. Speaking of choosing, you should be able to cast up to 3 votes this time, since there are a lot of contestants. Below the poll you can listen to the songs of the voting. Happy voting!

Here are the contestants:

The one which started it all:

That eye…Zero 2’s brother? It’s actually a tank though. Odd…

Strawberries! And crosses for some reason.

That is easily the most popular tune of the PC-98 era.

I love that tune, it’s so…upbeat!

It’s…Flandre! But it’s her stage theme…

…CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! :3

No more bug-squishing! Wriggle…KICK!

Crossing a river, fun! Unless it’s STYX!

Certainly one of the most epic Touhou themes. You can almost feel the fight’s intensity in this song!

The black cat of doom! That theme sounds a lot more relaxing than it should…

Don’t anger the cloud, man!

Let your desires drive!

The most recent and the most ominous of the contestants.
