End of a New Beginning

Finally! The winner of our Touhou voting is here, a remix of Kanako’s final boss theme Suwa Foughten Field from Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith. Saying it took me a while would be a lie, there have just been other priorities after the voting was finished, like…Halloween and such! Traditions~

Unlike the song name might suggest, I’m not breaking any new ground with this mix. In fact, the song name itself is rather mysterious. You’re free to interpret it!

As this is supposed to be a serious final boss end-of-the-world techno mix, I limited myself a bit: No silly sound effects, no random stuff, just a straightforward (techno) approach this time. And I also managed to not include any other themes. Been a while since I did that!

As usual you’ll find the video and download below. Want to show your appreciation? Donate!

And here’s the video:

I’ll also note down some of the other contestants that got a surprising amount of votes. For reference, here are the results of the voting:

Next up I was thinking something Legend of Zelda. Idk what exactly yet, but likely something from the N64 era. As for the next OST focus, we’ll have the main theme of Luigi’s Terrific Quest (LTQ).

That’s about it, I hope you enjoyed the latest mix. Stay tuned!

Vote for a Touhou song!

Ack…at the moment I’m preoccupied with important stuff, so forgive me that I can’t finish the next crossover right now…instead, I let you do something. Sounds fair? To me it does~

So, let’s try this again, for real this time! Let’s have a poll, you can choose up to three themes, the one with the most votes by the end of September wins and will be made! There’s one more or less memorable song from every main series Touhou game. You might want to listen to the themes first as I doubt you know all of them, for this purpose I’ve added YouTube videos for all the songs. The actual poll can be found below. Happy voting!

Here are the contestants:

The one song which started it all. It even sounds nostalgic.

This tune is an insider tip, you should give it a shot if you don’t know it yet. Especially the part around 0:48.

Yumemi’s tune might sound a bit repetitive at first, but I’m certain it would make for a great techno/trance/house mix. Think about the possibilities!

That is easily the most popular tune of the PC-98 era and has been remixed to death already. Well, it’s a really catchy tune, so I’m not surprised.

I personally love this tune, it’s so upbeat. For me, it’s even catchier than Bad Apple.

The Extra Stage theme is something from that game I haven’t tackled yet. This might be the most interesting stage theme of Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil. My favorite is still Rumia’s Stage theme though.

The first stage theme of Perfect Cherry Blossom let’s you dream of a snowy winter wonderland.

An upbeat battle theme with a bug. The first battle theme of Imperishable Night has quite some potential I would think.

Pretty much the theme of Gensokyo’s reaper. Not as grim though, neither in sound nor appearance. But the tune is quite epic, especially around 0:41.

Certainly one of the most epic Touhou themes. You’re challenging a god after all, that certainly isn’t every day’s business, not even in Gensokyo.

The stage 5 boss is what drives people more crazy in that game than the actual final boss. To honor that fact, her theme is among the contestants.

The stage 5 boss with the tiger-pattern and the curvy lasers has one of the most interesting tunes of Undefined Fantastic Object in my opinion, only bested by Heian Alien.

Yuyuko’s theme in Ten Desires is so damn catchy, after quite some thinking I chose her tune to be worthy of representing that game. It’s a bit short, but a remix has the option of overcoming that fact. Could naturally feature a bit of Border of Life as well.

The most recent and the most ominous of the contestants, a theme with certainly great potential.

Finally, here’s the poll, choose wisely:

Next week we’ll have another OST Focus featuring Shadow Dial. I can’t say how much time this “important thing” will still take of me, but I might not be able to finish the next song anytime soon.

New song(s), Voting, Work in progress

Disciples in progress

Have a Disciple song work in progress! With a really long name! “Elemental Disciples vs the 4 Elemental Fiends” is a mix of some elements from the Disciple songs Earth, Water, Wind and Fire (with a little extra in fire) and Dreadful Battle, the battle theme of the 4 Lords of the Elements (or Fiends of the Elements) from Final Fantasy IV and of course Fighting of the Spirit (Tales of Phantasia/Symphonia). Scarmiglione vs Goron Link (Earth), Cagnazzo vs Frog (Water), Barbarizia vs Tornado Man (Wind) and Rubicante vs Samus and Okuu (Fire)!

Why work in progress? There’s still some things I want to try, making everything sound clearer and louder at the same time. Mixing stuff basically, something I’m still not good at…I’ll try, but I have no idea if I can pull that off, so here you go, listen to it:

Elemental Disciples vs the 4 Elemental Fiends

Let me summarize the current standing of the Touhou voting for you:

Bad Apple and Suwa Foughten Field both have 11 votes and are first place, 3rd is Eternal Shrine Maiden with 8 votes. Strawberry Crisis and The Shining Needle Castle Sinking in the Air are both in a good position with 6 votes as well. But there are still not enough votes by FAR to finish that voting.
