Before hitting all the information and stereo stuff I want to wish everyone a merry Christmas. Have you guys all the fun in the world you can get, and remember that, whenever you feel lost, there is always there, always, that remembers you, who you are, and where you are.

I have some time thinking uploading this song. In fact, it was one of the songs that inspired me to open the channel, but I waited to this very season to give you guys a christmas present. The true intention was to upload it at the 25th of December, but I think everyone will be busy opening gifts and spending time with their beloved ones, and not watching youtube videos :P

So here you are, happy holidays, and Merry Christmas to all of you.

This is an arrange that Jesus is Death made to a song with the same title that Dark Phoenix released on its very first Touhou Album. But Dark Phoenix works only with synths, so Jesus is Dead made us the favor to let us listen what Dark Phoenix sounds with real instruments instead of synthed guitars and basses.

To anyone wondering what this song and Dark Phoenix one are arranging, the answer is "花の映る塚" from Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

Title: 魔女達の舞踏会 ～ Magus
Artist: KOUICHI

Album RED x BLACK
Original: 魔女達の舞踏会　～ Magus

Ok, so what is the story behind this song? "WAT IS THIS THEME OF MARISA?!" 
Its part from the Seihou series, not from Touhou. A funny fact I got from Touhou Wikia is that the game was released 2 years before EoSD, and Marisa & also Raymoo featured as extra bosses. This one, or I should say, the original song is the theme of the battle againts Marisa. 

Later this song got its "Tangoish" remix within IaMP, but It didn't managed to get the same popularity such as the other themes.

In the opinion of this mathemathican, this song beats any theme out there. In fact is the only Marisa theme I like, and actually, this song managed to climb to my top 10 of the ZUNGS I like more.

Enjoy the witchy sound ^.^

As Requested by angelscream02.
There are a lot of Metal arranges of Patchy Theme out there. I can recommend UI-70 the most.

(First of all....)

Story: OK! HAPPY 1st TOUHOU ANIVERSARY FOR ME!!!!
Around this days, about one year ago I was "McRolled" in a MMORPG forums. And then I met Touhou. The rest was history, I started to look around, I was amazed by "u.n owen was her?", then one thing lead to another, and here I am as a complete Touhou music fan.

Thank you ZUN! You gave the world another reason to live and to let live. 
Touhou means so much for me guys, If I had to make a list of all the things Touhou has made for me you would get amazed. But there are things that are worth to say, such as that Touhou made me bealive on music again, and that showed me that you don't need more than 1 to make amaising music. CROW'SCLAW and therefore Touhou showed me how wonderfull the world of the guitar can be, they allowed me to forgive my horrid experience when I wanted to make some music, and here I am again, learning once again, happy of playing guitar and Touhou.

Demetori, and therefore Touhou showed me that there is no point of beign with a girl, suffering her cheats and her tragedies, if you do not share something really incredible.

Beyond anything, I'm happy, so happy of sharing all this magic with you guys. Thanks for all your support over the channel, on doujinstyle, and in other parts of internet were Touhou has always been welcomed.

(border of passion)

Semi double update today. I re-uploaded this video cause there was a "skip" sound at the beggining and I didn't noted it before. So here is this wonderfull arrange again. Sorry for the trouble if you had to re-fav this or re-comment in this video. As a way of expressing my apologies, I would give you guys another of my precious image of Utsuho-sama.

Aside from that, just telling that I like this arrange a lot. Why is that? Cause its not a cover. I mean ok, nazz-can version blew us all away when we herd it. but it was a metal cover, but not an arrange. IRON ATTACK on the other side decided to be risky and change tempo, harmony and of course adding the brutality of a Jackson guitar.
i.e: IRON ATTACK! added its own spice.

Thanks for watching.

Im speechless Takashi, you are one of the best composers and arrangers that has ever excisted. 
This album is probably, my favorite one in all the Touhou arranges scenes.

To combine Dream Theater and Opeth elements with ZUN?
You need the talent of a God to do this, not even ZUN himself has ever gone so far.

Thank you Takashi, thank you a lot, and please, do not abandon us again. Keep releasing this illusionary stuff.
Why illusionary? It's beyond of epic, its beyond of a dream, it does not exist!

Its a funny story how actually I founded this particular arrange.
Trough my overload of downloads on ShareEX during the Reitaisai 6, I've downloaded by mistake this IOSYS album. Then I was kinda in the mood for a laugh and I decided to click in any song just to hear what is exactly what I don't want to hear of Touhou anymore (j-pop, overloads of j-pop, and freaking Techno). And suddenly....BANG! I'm starting to hear this. I just felt the rage of Utsuho-sama in my ears. I almost cried when I herd this, so perfect, so powerful, and in the end so metalish. 

The abcense of every instrument of the Metal Genre except for the guitar, plus the orchestra hymn sounded incredible.
Yet again, and I apologize for not staying in one option, but I must say this is the best arrange of Nuclear Fusion it has been heared.

Long live Chernobyl-sama. 
It's redundant to say witch is my favorite character of Touhou series isn't it?

I understand that they wanted to make off-spins, such as it was their Latin Jazz album. I'm not going to lie, its a great arrange. But after that, Syncronic Rezonator came to ruin the whole circle. 
After waiting some time, we recived the news UI-70 was comming back with another metal album. 
But to my ears, it didn't had the same vibe as the past releases. 
Then Dist+ came up that it was a pretty good re-release, remastered and re-mixed. 

Let us pray for a future album full of what they used to be.

I don't know how exactly is the story behind this album, but I'm sure its not a solo release by IKUTO (the guitarrist and the "owner" of South of Heaven"). Is more like a cooperation he made with a keyboardist that I think goes by the name of "Marl".
Anyhow, the album is labeled to be as part of the South of Heaven circle.

I really hope you guys had a good laugh, there was no intention of insulting or affending anyone (except for the ones that went crazy with the Ex-Cirno thing at the Rumia vid XD)
Anyway, anyhow I decided to upload this one today. I was going to wait for tomorrow but the truth is I didn't want to miss the opportunity to upload a Cirno arrange on the 1st of April. It will be remembered in the history :D
I also hope you guys enjoy this one. To be honest, it was a very hard decition to take. Beetwen this one, another form UI-70, dbu, Demetori, CROWSCLAW, IRON ATTACK!, South of Heaven, Magnus Opus, Dark Phoenix, and around other 13 more artist. I guess おてんば恋娘 is in everyones cup. 
Its a very nice song, hope I can ever cover it with my "already-in-shipping" new guitar :D

This guy....is a total virtuosso. Seriously, すのうまん (as I have said before, it reads "Sunouman") is probably one of the best arranges out there. And, I'm not going to joke about this, maybe he is almost at the level that Godspeed has (the best arranger of Touhou of them all). 

This is one of the artist that makes you wonder why Hachikuma/hiderogaph or some technoish trash has an album and すのうまん don't.
Anyway, I have a couple of songs of this guy that are going to have to wait. But I decided to upload this one because its the most metalish song so far in ZUN's as composer, and is the best arrange すのうまん has done in his entire life.

Thank yuu for watching.

EXTREME PROGRESSIVE JAZZ COMPOSITION HERE! Be carefull.
Uploaded by request of LemonFiEsTa.
I was pretty sure there was another artist out there who made an arrange for this song too, namely, IRON ATTACK!
Anyway, I couldn't find it, but after listening this one, what else you can ask?
I don't know why this song is so overlooked by everyone, is pretty metalish in some sort of way, but I must accept its progressive rock in all the means of the word. Guess ZUN didn't lie when he refers to it as "Phantasmagoria of Flower View UNIQUE COMPOSITION!" on the comments. 
Also I can understand that this character gets overlooked too, whoever competes with Alice in terms of popularity has a hard time. Counting that Alice is a 2nd character in most of games. Sadly she was left out in UFO. When ZUN said "the 3 humans" everyone jumped in conclusion it was Marisa, Raymoo and Sakuya, but I though "Alice is not a human? o.O" . Eventually it wasn't Sakuya nor Alice. Curse you Frog girl.

Anyway, whoever guess the why the title "Planet 東方 Metal/Prog Rock 67 X" wins my respect, a cookie and a free arrange :D

First of all, and the question of million dolars, why is Utsuho on the video and there is no Rin there? 
Well as a matter of fact, there was an image of Rin before, but seconds before I started uploading I happen to come across with this HUGE image that screams epic in more than the existant languages that exist. And it fits PERFECT with the song.

Anyway, into the song, I happen to found this release because once again, my butterfingers made me clicking other thing on Share that I was not interested, namely this album. What was my surprise when I gave it a shot and I listened to this. 

I won't laugh or anything if you cry with this song. I did cried, and made me regain some of my faith I have lost in well......that another topic.
This is the reason why, one of my most beloved things happen to be, Touhou Music and arranges.

I'll wait one more video to make the compilation since I want to go from 10 to 10 files.
Thank you for listening.

Requested by AetherShadow, and many others long time ago.
First of all sorry to everyone who asked me an arrange of this and I answered I didn't knew at all. It wasn't till one day before AetherShadow requested me that it came at random at my ipod, and I said to myslef "you moron". 

Anyway, I found this song.....pretty unique. 
I know, its not the "obra maestra" of the Touhou Metal Progressive Rock (By the way, video #70 says "Hi" and "thx") but you have to accept the guitar work on this song is incredible awesome....and god mother fucking complicated. 

If you play guitar, try to play the first riff, and you will then understand what im talking about.
Anyway, pretty progressive my all the means, as the album is.
And also combining the 2 themes of Sakuya in one song? They deserve a Grammy.

Can't wait for another release by this 2 amaising circles.
Oh I also noted I have tons of Sakuya images, without beign a fan of her after all. I need more images of my girl, namely, Utusho. 

Also, lol@ZunComment:

"If you think it's childlike, it's childlike, and if you think it's more mature, it sounds that way. Am I the only one who thinks so?"

Title: 六十年目の東方裁判 ～ Fate of Sixty Years
Artist: Kota-rock
Album: 闇深祭
Original: 六十年目の東方裁判　～ Fate of Sixty Years

As requested by angelscream02.

Right, so to answer the question "Why Kota-rocK was chosen and not other?" Here is the reason. 
First, UI-70 arrange that makes with Demetori is godly epic, but I didn't want to upload something again of the same album, at this rate I'll end up uploading the whole album thing I don't want to do.

And CROW'SCLAW, well I could but its already uploaded by StateofUnrest, so I'll leave he gets the claps on that one. 
Anyway, I was searching among my files, looking for a Sixty Year arrange. I found one, tmade by 黒夜葬 (Kokuyasou), more or less like gothic metal. The problem is that the guy does not know how to equalize. He even beats the bad equalization that IKUTO from South of Heaven does! To be honest at the middle of the song, my ears got tired of suffering and I turned off. 

Then it came this by Kota-rocK. Here is the thing that happens with him. Like ny other multi musican out there, I believe he started focusing on keyboards more than in any other instrument. Note please that this belongs to the 1st album Kotarou ever made, so he only used a "not-bad" distortion guitar just for making some company to the main song. 

As he started working more and more, Kotarou decided he was going to focuse more on guitars, and to this very day, thats what he makes. The problem is, IMHO he is not good at it. The last album I barely listened with joy.

While I know this isn't the very deep metal that CROW'SCLAW has made used to listen, I think it stand pretty decent for what can be called "Hard rock". also you got to recognize that the piano solo is richfull and delicious, something that im sure ZUN has enjoyed too.

Anyway, if you feel this does not fulfill your taste of Sixty Years, please post it (GOOD MANNERS PLEASE!) on a comment in this video and I'll make sure to upload another one. 

By the way, how many of you write "Shikieki" instead of "Sikieki"? 

And also, in other news. The bulleting system is bugged, making me unable to tell news or anything like it. But the volume4 is uploaded, for anyone interested please PM.

Thanks for watching.

Ok doomdragon! It took me like 5 hours to found another "metalish" arrange of 1969 that it wasn't CROW'SCLAW song. I have to say its worth, this artist I found is such a good guitarrist. I believe he is preparing something on his own for Touhou media on the upcoming event. 

He also has an excellent version of Strawberry Crisis that I will make sure you hear soon. 
Also someone out there witch name I can't remember asked me to upload some more "metal/techno" so I believe this enters in that category. That, is what I call killing 2 birds with one stone. 
Of course, nothing like xi-on to do the job.

Oh yeah, and if you wonder "why nobody does arranges of this song?" then you should try it to play it on the closest instrument you have with you, even if that is your voice. Try to follow the piano solo, its god damn crazy.
Nothing like Flowering Night, I azure you.

"Till When Im going to keep posting techno instead of metal?" you may ask.
I know this is not metal, not even closer. Just even a few bad equalized guitars but nothing beyond that.
An apoloize to all if I haven't uploaded recently something as metal, but I enjoy this genre a lot. 

By the way, this video was uploaded by request of Chinchilliot who asked me for another arrange of Youmu's theme. I though there was a lot of metal arranges, but what was my suprise when I found out that I only have 2, the IRON ATTACK! one (already uploaded) and the UI-70 one (that to be honest, it isn't metal at all). Then I heard this....and I said "ok, lets give it a shot and see how people likes".

Now, remember that on Flowering Night arrange I said "There is a terribly bad equalized arrange out there who make my ears bleed?". Well, the same circle behind this arrange did that one I was talking about. As you can see, the song is horribly equalized, and it's nothing I can't correct it even if I do a ProTools section. 

Anyway, I hope you like it. 
Thanks for listening.

So after 2 days of moving my whole room apart, IM BACK!
I have been busy with school and re-designing my whole room, so I haven't been able to keep up daily with Pm's and messages. Also get in the equation that I caught a cold, so now im busy, sick and guitar-less witch makes me terribly sad.

I was originally planning to give you guys a Chen update today and I crossed ears with this song. I couldn't hold up and decided to upload it, since we are covering all of the Yukari's clan.

I hope you guys like it, there is no use on explaning how amaising the guitar sounds.
By the way, someone send me a PM saying something like this: "Me and my friends would like to request more EoSD songs and english titles for those who can't read in japanese". I can't remeber the exact content of it cause I'm an idiot and I hit "Delete" instead of "Response". If someone knows or remeber the user who send me this, please tell him/her to resend me the message for I can reply to him.

Sorry for trouble, delay, and as the past 78 videos, THANKS FOR WATCHING.

I hope the "WARNING" sign is clearly enough, I have make my ears bleed multiple times with this song.

I decided to upload this in order to conclude the PcB saga I started with Yukari's theme, so I hope the way you like it how it ends. This arrange was the very first ones I said "Oh my God! What in the world is this universe?!" when I was barely discovering Touhou. This with Suwa Foughten Field by Demetori makes me remember why I never, NEVER going to betray again my own way of life and convictions due to a girl, due to a situation or due to myself even if this last part sounded werid. 

Everytime I hear this I remember of this, and once again, this is one of the mutiple reasons why I'm such a believer of Touhou (note I didn't say fan).

As you can see its a 2 part arrange, I decided to upload it together cause the acoustic part is more an introduction to the real arrange IMO. 
It would be redundant to say this is in my top 5 of the best arranges of Touhou made ever. 

Enjoy it ^.^
Thanks for all the support and lets keep this channel rockin'.

Finally I came to come across with it, just to found that the circle hasn't done anything since the C74. 
But what was my suprise when I found this arragement down on the "News" section. 
Its delicious, and gothic. Gothic + nuclear = (dark matter)^2

Utusho Reiuji-sama, I will be always loyal to you. 
By the way, its trivia time! 
The question is the following: "Why did I bothered to change the order in the videos for naming this one 東方 Metal/Prog Rock 86?". The real question should be "Why this was uploaded in the 86 place?".

"On the higan retour, that there would be no regrets as this piece... ", thats what ZUN writes at the end of his comment of the song. 
WHo said Touhou wasn't a religion?

Anyway, Komachi is the most gorgeous girl Touhou has ever showed us. Let us accept it, beetwen Komachi, China, and Eirin the sex symbol of Touhou is Komachi.
She also wields a Scythe, witch happens to be my favorite melee weapon, her character concept is about dead and reincarnation!, and she is also a red hed!
Therefore, Komachi Onozuka is one of my favorite Touhou characters.

By the way, to those guys that keep posting about "this song is a rip off of this one" don't mind to, because I'm going to delete it. I already said that there is a diference beetwen rip off and influence. Yes of course, Dream Theater has Metallica influences, but their songs aren't rip offs right?

I say this because we all hear the influnce of "Master of Puppets" in here, but its not necesary to call it rip off, because it isn't.

"OMFG, Is this is Touhou?!" Well yes it is. 
Ladies and gentleman, I give to you the "Touhou Mafia". 

So whats the story about this video? Well is kinda funny. I was listening to this arrange and I decided it was a must hear for everyone out there enjoying metal sound of crunchy guitars with the upbeat of a sweet walking bass. 

So, I was browsing trough my sea of Touhou images, triying every Sakuya image I have to see witch one had the best chance of matching with the actual song. This arrange is so damn good, that trust me, any Sakuya image does the trick. 
So playing around and joking with myself, I decided to put the first image you see, and BLAST! It was perfect! You can actually imagine. 

This song is no actual metal, I know, flame me if you wish. Also I know the images aren't as epic as the other, but you guys have to accept a) The song is amaizing! b) The images are just perfect for this song. 

Anyway, since I know it can be hard to recognize them, I'll list who is who in the respective images.
From left to right.
On the first one is: Sakuya Izayoi, Youmu "Myon" Konpaku. 
On the second one: Eirin Yagokoro, Keine Kamishirasawa (Yeah, without horns), Sakuya Izayoi, Reimu Hakurei (the one in the middle, the boss!), Youmu "Myon" Konpaku, Momiji Inubashiri.

You guys can call this my "Spin-off" for the reasons listed up there, but anyhow, this is the best Metal/Techno arrange I have ever heard, beating even the almighty "xi-on". It's just bussines, nothing personal.

Thanks for watching.

Whats up with the sudden jump to retro Touhou games? Well probably some know, but im going to feature PC-98 metal arranges from 91 to 99. That makes an awesome volume of PC-98 epic songs. 

What else? Well, my PM is full once again, so be patience everyone, im reading every request with detail in order to upload everything what is needed to fulfill them.
I also will take advantage of you guys reading this and say that OHBA's album and the first album of xi-on are already online, so anyone who wishes to rock with them be sure to send me a PM. 

Also, I owe you guys the Volume 6, featuring from 81 to 90. I'll upload it tomorrow, since today I call it quits. Making arranges suck the energy out of me.

9 more videos to reach the 100th one, and in it comes a big surprise for all of you! What could it be?!

Have a nice day :D

NOTE: Who ever DARES to post "ZOMFG THIS IS TEH RIP OFF FROM A SONG CALLED BLACK DIAMOND!!!" or "ZOMFG TATH SONG WAS UPLOADED LANG AGOOO!!!!!111!!" Its going to get deleted, so why wasting your precious time on it?

Title: Strawberry Crisis!!!
Artist: Analyze
Album: N/A
Original: Strawberry Crisis

Oh god, I did it. 
Anyway the story bout this arrange is a bit odd. The reason I discovered Analyze it was because I founded this song floating over there. After a bit of asking, were and who I found about this guy, his circle and eventually what lead me to the Foldable+ album.

This song was hosted in his website, so I said "I'll download it later". After 1 day I returned to download it, the guy had already took it off his website, my guesses are that he is going to include it on his upcoming Touhou album, and he did wanted to stop people from hosting it. Till this very day I have suffered the anxiety of not having it! But IT HAS ENDED FINALLY!

After asking on forums, and wandering a bit, cames out that a friend of a friend of a friend of a cousin of a friend had it, ripped of from a NicoNico video. The only problem was that the quality was awfull. 
Turns out that another friend ripped it in HQ quality.

It still sounds a bit awfull, but trust me its better that the one I had. I'm waiting to see if Analyze is going to host it ever again, or it will be released in this new upcoming album, but for the time beign, we only have this quality. I hope you guys can enjoy it.

Yumemi Okazaki is one of my favorite characters, red head, a blonde as a sexual....I mean assistant. A big ship and a weapon with a cross shape. What more you can ask? And her theme rocks so much, one of my favorites songs among all Touhou Franchise. Just by readin the title "Strawberry Crisis!!!" its enough reason to love it. Now you can flame me as a "ZOMFG I WANT YUMEMI BACK ON UFO!!!11!!" kind of guy. Also, Yumemi scores another point with me when this fan theory saying that the creators of Utusho as a Sun god are Yumemi and Kanako. 
God, so epic!

By the way, I'm handling every PM carefully, so those who had send me already please be patience, soon or later im answering it with all your request. 
Also, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT TO ASK ANY OF THE MATERIAL SEND ME A PM INTEAD OF POSTING A COMMENT BECAUSE WITH THIS ONES I CANT KEEP TRACK OF THEM!

(What a lame way of saying "I killed 2 birds with one stone")

Mima deserves some love after all isn't it?
After all she has the most powerful beam, beating Yuka's and Marisa's one. Although I don't understand why Yuka is still among the stronger youkais in all Gensyoko (NO ITS NOT CIRNO THE STRONGER!)

NO! I did not ran out of Material, as many people may think.
Anyway, the recent delay was because, believe it or not, getting a nice picture of Yumeko was quite a task that took me 1 night and half of a day.
Guess everyone is busy adoring the other maid instead of the original one. As much as I like the concept of Sakuya, you can never get enough of Yumeko, the blonde throwing knife made witch mistress is the own Satan.

How many of you would love to see a battle beetwen Sakuya and Yumeko?
Also I was reading a bit ago about another fan crazy theory witch tells that Sakuya is Yumeko, and that is a spy of Shinki in order to supervise that Alice is fine in outside Makai.

It's crazy, I know, everyone knows that after the PC-98 era, ZUN recreated most of his characters. Shinki=Remilia, Yumeko=Sakuya, Elly=China+Komachi, and so on. He even had another a poltergeist in Makai!

Anyway, hope you like it, the organist, Doubouro, yes dbU got crazy on this release, and he did an splendid job. The guitars are ok I guess, but I think this arrange is really progressive.
Also 悲しき人形　～ Doll of Misery is one of the songs that ZUN composed that has that "metalish" vibe.

By the way, don't asl why this was uploaded, removed and uploaded again. Sorry to bother the ones who saved it on its favorites, but please do favorite this one that is the fixed version.

So, the long awaited 100th video has arrived. Feels like yesterdays since I was listening to Gossun metal arrange and decided to do my own Touhou Metal channel.
For those who have followed the updates from video 50 to now, they know how much Touhou means for me. It is probably the only thing I want to remember from what happened one year ago.

Words aren't enough when it comes describing the Touhou music and its remixes, and that iss what happens me so often. Triying to explain what I feel with it, but it comes quite impossible. 
In fact, describing what is Touhou can be quite complicated. For some a game is just enough, or other people try to label it as a fan-made project (I believe that is what "Doujin" means). 
For me, its just a part of my life, I can say it was the light at the end of a tunnel. An oasys out in the lonelyness and heat of the dessert. A long desert I had to walk 1 year ago. 
For me, Touhou was that light, and it will always remain with me, remembering why I cannot even dare to abandon my thoughts, my passions, my self beign, my family or friends. Why, I can never betray myself again.

The channel is going to keep alive if you guys want it of course, because I do want to keep spreading the "word" of Touhou for all around the world, and for now this is the only thing I can do.
I have still much projects in mind, much of my arrangers are on work, but I hope I can upload my own album as soon as I can.

Thanks to everyone on the channel, those who have commented, those who have rated, those who have PM'd me and those who keeps supporting it. There is still a long way to go.

Thank you ZUN, for giving us another reason to live, and let live. Thank you Funkies, I would never knew about arranges if it wasn't for you and....

Thank you for watching.

Everything that Taka does sounds godly, and this is the perfect video for reminding us that.
For those who does not follow Taka albums, this was the 2nd part of a song he left pendant on the CROSSFIRE BARRAGE album (check video 92).

I used the same image I used on my very first video, and I also wanted to use CROW'SCLAW, since for me its the maximum expression of Touhou Metal.

So, after the wonderfull PC-98 festa, and the obligated Alice arranges I had to upload, its time to resume with old request. As a personal favor, I ask to everyone that asked me to upload a song while I was on the PC-98 and I said to them "after I finish the PC-98" that re-send me a PM (PERSONAL MESSAGE IS DIFFERENT THAN A COMMENT!) asking again its request, cause I didn't written down and now I don't remember of much of them. 

As Chinchilliott (first time I spell it right) requested me long ago, here is another phantom ensemble arrange, and this is the BEST one IMO. South of Hevean arrange is good too, but this is one of many UI-70 phantom ensemble arranges, and its the one that stands for every meaning of metal.
This song in special its from my "must-have" collection, and has a sentimental value such as video 80, since it sone of those songs that.....just inspires to live.

As Suwa Foughten Field, this song tends to be very popular among metal arrangers, so far the unique 2 circles that has not done anything with it its Demetori and CROW'SCLAW, thing that I still have hopes they do for it.

Aside that im in love of the song, in love of the arrangers, I have to tell that im also in love with the Prismriver sisters. The concept of the characters is so creative and so good in my humble opinion. To those who does not know, Poltergeists are a type of ghost or force that manifest their existance by distrubing the order causing sounds or moving things without an aparent reason. When something starts to move and doing sound out of nowhere, or suddenly a book fells out of a shelf with no aparent reason, its supoused that a poltergeist lives around there. 

So what does ZUN does? Creates Poltergeists that are musicans who play their instruments without even touching them!!! The guy is a genious, but we already knew that.
Also I want to point out that the green girl in the image IS NOT HATSUNE MIKU! Its Layla Prismriver...

"WAIT?! NO WAI! A 4th SISTER?!" Yes thats right, according to ZUN official profiles, there is a 4th sister called Layla Prismriver who is the youngest of all them and also the creator or "summoner" of Lunasa, Merlin and Lyrica. There is no offcial art work of her (much fans tend to draw her with green long hair and white dress, with a very strong resemblance to Hatsune Miku), but it is mentioned by ZUN.

For all the wall of text written till now, the Prismriver sisters are one of my favorite Touhou characters. But If I had to choose beetwen the 3, I would say Lunasa is my favorite character. I even can consider MY favorite character, if it wasn't because Utusho. 
For closing the description I want to add 2 more things. The first one goes for Myon/taboovampire, witch she left a comment in my channel saying:

"But.. I think Merlin fits more to the '' Touhou 東方 Metal and/or Progresssive Rock '' playlist...
Stupid ;__; "

Right so, I'll ignore why she used the "stupid". Anyhow, I want everybody picture the following. Imagine Lunasa, wearing a beret with a Moon sign. Now dress her with a tight black latex suit, with a flying V.
Ladies and Gentleman, there is NO WAY in this world Merlin can beat that metalish image. I have been hunting down a fan art like that since I knew Lunasa, but so far I haven't got any luck.

And the other thing, and for finishing this mega wall of text, is that I don't know if you guys noted I renamed the playlist, so when I talk about "Lunasa Playlist" I am refering to this playlist, and when I talk about "Merlin Playlist" I am refering to the classic/unplugged playlist.

Phew....Thanks for watching.

Title: ラストリモート

Original: ラストリモート

"It feels like it's rushing you along for some reason, but there's no real reason
to hurry, and everyone's acting carefree."----ZUN

Ok, if you think that ZUN its not a prophet of some sort, the quote you just read should convince you of the opposite. I'm going to make myself a t-shirt with this quote. If you wonder, that is part of the comment (Translated by the guys at Touhou Wiki) that ZUN writes about this song. 
One of my favorites to be honest, fits perfect with the enviroment of the game at that moment. 

For those who can't yet unlock the Extra mode of Subterranean Animisn I won't spoil you any of the beans, although the image of the video is a pretty good hint. 
I would have loved tho, that the extra stage of SA would have been the escape out of the cave. Picture something like this, Utusho gets crazy because of the "overheating" of her Nuclear Power, then she decides to auto-destruct herself so she can take Reimu/Marisa with her. Then your only option is to fly out of the cave as soon as possible, but then you found Koishi along the way. So you have to battle with her while you have to escpae out of the "about to explode" cave.

i.e N64 Starfox last stage.....

This is why you guys have to thank no one of us could suggest ZUN to do something....

Anyway....This song was requested by raak1010 because he won answering to the trivia on the Lunasa's 98 video. I asked him if he wanted neo-baroque metal, gothic metal, or progressive metal and he told me that he would trust in my musical interests. So as it was obious, I choosed progressive metal. I doubt it for a second, but the drum work behind this song is simply amaising.

I mean, who on the world can make this sounds like Dream Theater and beign only 1 man with his keyboard! Takase, you are godly. Thanks for this wonderfull arrange.

"By the way, the song title has no relation to a certain shooting game."---ZUN
To what game he is making reference? o.O

With this incredible arrange made by 春まき it sounds just perfect! I believe that the fact the singer is out of tone makes the arrange sound more creepy and evil. With U.N Owen was her? you can never doubt.

Artist: Ex-calibur
Circle: Knights of the Round 
Album: Knights of the Round
Original: 信仰は儚き人間の為に (Faith is for the Transient People)

Once again Sanae, but this time its her original theme.
It sounds strange, but the most arranged songs in metal are from Mountain of Faith. Nitori's theme, Sanae's one and of course, the almighty "Suwa Foughten Field" are the most arranged songs when we talk of Shreders. 

Talking about shred, this song is extremely complicated, not only due to the technique skills that ask, also it requires a fine knowledge of E.Q theory in order to make that guitars sound like that. It really rocks, and in my opinion they own IRON ATTACK!. 

Although its quite sad that this guys only have around 5 songs, since they don't have a full album....yet!
Here is the comment of ZUN about this song if anyone doubts what I said in the first lines, although note that when he said about "Metal" he means to the actual metal section of intruments, not about the genre.

"This is Sanae Kotiya's theme.
It feels like the metal section suddenly got bigger here; I thought I'd give this a heavy feeling,
but I got careless and overdid it, which is a bad habit of mine. Tee hee.
Whether it's the melody or something else, it's the heaviest in this game.
From this point on, it suddenly becomes bright, and at the end it kind of lost its touch...
The stronger they are, the less the feeling of tension: I promise this is true in Gensokyo." from Touhou Wiki.

First of all, I know this is not going to be in everyone's cup of tea. At the beggining of the song, it can sounds lame, but trust me, making something sounds out of tone without making the whole song crash its tough job. I just ask you to hold up until the real thing starts on. 

In case you wonder, this is the same artist under the same circle as Lunasa's 106. I think the girl can do wonders without having the vocal.

The all famous with the already known image. 
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you THE mother fucking arrange of all times, and forgive me for this manners, but there is no other way to say it.

By this point you guys must have been tired of me saying "because of Touhou this....", "because of Touhou that...", so I'll keep it short this time.

THIS IS THE ARRANGE THAT MADE ME START EVERYTHING ON THE CHANNEL!
(go figure how much is important for me). In my life this arrange means a lot, more than even Lunasa's playlist 1, 50, 80, 100 combined! 

I'm also aware this arrange has been floating for some time on youtube, but I don't care this time, since this playlist its worthless without this arrange. I'm sure I can free some deafs that haven't herd this arrange yet.

*sigh* So much memories return to me when listening to this song. As a final comment I'll leave this little phrase I came up with, based on what Hilbert said about Cantor's invention:

"No one shall be able to drive us from the wonderland that ZUN created for us".
Amen.

If I could only speak a fluent japanese! I would tak a ticket to japan right now, get to his studio and ask in the most pollite way ever "Oh master, please teach me!". Aside from the daydreaming.....its a great arrange of a great song. This is also one favorite by shredders.

Title: 蠢々秋月 ～ Mooned Insect, 死体旅行 ～ Be of good cheer!
Artist: UI-70
Album: if
Original: 蠢々秋月　～ Mooned Insect (Stirring an Autumn Moon ～ Mooned Insect), 死体旅行～Be of good cheer! (Corpse Voyage ~ Be of good cheer!)

Blame this was 2 in 1 update since the end from the first song left you in a horrid suspense and I didn't though it was fair for you guys, sinc all of you have been very supportive, kind, and wonderful with the channel.

It was requested by Jovyana in the past video (PERSONAL MESSAGE NEXT TIME PL0X! [and this goes for everyone who keeps requesting on comments]). It was a complicated search, and nor precisly because its one of top arranged songs.

I'll be honest, from the stage one bosses (also known as Team ⑨ [include Mistya in there, and take out Minoriko sisters]) the songs can sound kinda lame compared to the rest of the soundtrack that ZUN made. Of course I can understand that he is going to save the best (Necrofantasia says hi) for the very last, but its hard for me to keep with the stage one boss songs. The unique I really enjoy and that to this very day I'm still in love its Rumia's theme. 

As usual, arranges arrive to save the day, and to show you that part of the song that you miss. What a better example than this one, that remember us why we like so much UI-70. 
Talking about UI-70, I have herd some people complaining that "if" album is a totally lame album compared to the past. I accept it, but I think its because I think both of the guitarrist switched to 7-string guitars, and they still they need to get used to them. I'm looking forward to the next metal album. With UI-70 you never know, probably tomorrow we can have the news that they are planning to do a Mariachi album arrange. 

And about Wendy's theme, I had a whole comment about it but I lost it because my computer exploded while I was writting it orz...
But in quick words I was telling that I don't like Wendy's theme that much, since for beign an stage 5 boss its sounds pretty lame, but it fits perfectly with Wendy's personality, since she just wants to help her friend and even keep her out of her madness. This is something we also have to recognize to ZUN, that sometimes creates the song trying to explain the personality of one character.

Title: 永夜の報い ～ Imperishable Night
Artist: 五月雨
Circle: Analyze
Album: Foldable/Foldable+
Original: 永夜の報い　～ Imperishable Night (Retribution for the Eternal Night ～ Imperishable Night)

I'm going to talk with the truth here. When I think about the songs ZUN has made, this one is not my first thought. Don't take me wrong, I think Imperishable Night soundtrack is great soundtrack, but this song is just not of my list......

Or it wasn't till I hear this arrange made by Analyze. Something that I written in the last video about Wendy's theme is that sometimes arranges manage to pull other part of the song that was totally unknown for you. I think this example is the best, because I have never noted that the original song had a very strong influence of classic music (whoever that might be understood anyway)

About the image...............it's one of my favorites. I know that it doesn't match with the song, since when you hear this song there is still a long way to go to meet Kaguya, but I though It could be a nice picture with the song and the music together.

Title: 東方妖々夢　～ Ancient Temple
Artist: Demetori
Album: Il Mondo dove e finito il Tempo
Original: 東方妖々夢　～ Ancient Temple (Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple) 

"This theme expresses the nostalgia that is deep within every
Japanese and the frantic feeling that arises when someone is
approaching. The sounds of Shinto flutes and bells coming from
a distance conjure up images of the netherworld.
Or maybe it's just me?"----ZUN at Song Section on PcB, translated by Touhou Wiki.

Its probably just you ZUN, cause I always imagined another thing when I first herd this song. In fact it remembered me a lot to some old school shooters (Tyrian says "hi!") with this kind of music.
Anyhow, I won't take the credit that sound as a classic pentatonic ("asian" [for putting it in lame words] scale for those who does not know about music theory) scale, making it sound totally Japanese. 

The original of course, cause Demetori transfromed it into a totally complete song. In my quest of uploading arranges of songs I haven't featured (note that all since 121 have been different) I came across with this arrange, and I decided it was a "must hear" for all of us Touhou Metal junkies. 

The image, I have always liked images (as you can note) where it is featured some kind of duels beetwen Touhou girls, but one thing I haven't seen so far is like a triple battle between Myon, Sakuya and Eirin, since they are the 3 bodyguards of 3 mistress, and the 3 white haired girls. 

Before I say good bye, here is 2 curious facts about Myon:

Same as Sakuya, Myon eyes were red first, and then in IaMP she was recolored with green eyes. This suggest Myon and Sakuya are co releated somehow and have some kind of "berserk-mode".

It is known that time rules speed. Actually according to Castlevania, time rules anything, but in this case let us focus on the fact that Speed is a measure that depends on time (go and ask a Physhican, I'm a Matematican). It is known that Myon has an incredible speed, but it cannot beat Sakuya's time shift power, therefore it is believed that Myon has a very big respect, and admiration for Sakuya Izayoi.
(And therefore, that's the main reason of the picture :D)

In other news....thanks to ForswornNasci and KakashiMr who reported me that there is a new album by South of Heaven that is going to be released at C76 most likely. Here is the link to website:

http://s-o-h.jp/products/

The albums hears like the one he did earlier before with some Keyoardist under the name "Marl". They released an arrange album of most of the songs (IKUTO hasn't done U.N Owen, by uknown reasons) in the EoSD. That album wasn't much of guitar work. In fact is more a keyboard work than any other of its albums. Just some bad-ass guitar to acompany, but by this very reason its worth to try it. Looks like now its going to arrange "IN" songs (How on the world they dare to skip "PCB" !!!). I guess its allright, but im still crossing my fingers for some news of CROW'SCLAW, any of it. A new single, a new album, a new post, a new photo! But something.

Talkign about Master Taka, does someone thinks that this album had some kind of similarity beetwen CROW'SCLAW releases? Guess I forgot to tell you guys that this IKUTO album managed to reach the quality that Taka handles? My 2nd Touhou arrange favorite album. Thanks IKUTO.

This song is absurd. Wether you are a guitarrist (God save me!) or a Keyboardist (Never again) playing this song is like trying to found the cure for cancer. This do not mean I'm aiming to play this song once in my life time. 
I took like 3 hours to actually browse around my Touhou Images file and to choose one. By some reason I couldn't think of any of the images to fit this song. Then this one came up and I imagined Yukari saying "In your dreams boy *wink*" refering to play this song on guitar, and then I thought it would be perfect.

Enjoy this arrange a lot, cause its 1 of the 4 arranges that Godspeed has made when it comes to Touhou series. Don't ask me why, but he does not do much when it comes to Touhou. Also he sometimes compose classic arranges, but im not coutning them. I think that beign a top Gourmet Chef (check his blog at ViViX website) and a Guitar Idol does not leaves you too much time for making arranges of other people stuff. 
I think I have uploaded the 4 of them in the channel, so you guys go listen the others when you finish listening this and you will then probably understand why Godbeef.........can beat even Mr. "OMFGIPLAYFAST" Malmshteen. 

Also, be sure to check this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN9MoFW-JCc) arrange of Evening Star. It's not Metal or Classic, its actually Techno, but its one of my favorite Touhou arranges.

"Stage 1 theme
This theme was composed with an image of a natural paradise
that has yet to be discovered by humans. However, I personally
didn't want it to be healing music, so I made it somewhat
rhythmical. Therefore it doesn't have even the slightest
hint of relaxed feelings (^^;" ----ZUN at the Music Description section on PcB

We are pretty sure of that ZUN. 
Who better than Tokunan (the name of the guitarrist) and the rest of the band on Demetori to make this the life proof of what you tell us. But its also healing I can tell you that.

Paradise ~ Deep Mountain it scores in my top 10 of favorite Touhou songs. This theme just gets you into the scene of the first stage of Perfect Cherry Blossom. Thats why I like it so much, because the theme talks by itself. There are only a few words I can use to describe this song, but I think "epic" stays short for the amount of feeling that this song has.

Of course, Demetori arrange is simply gorgeous. As usual delivering power metal, but with a feeling that not anyone can put in it. This is the only song that is also arranged by Taka, and that the "best of arranges" its not the Taka song at all.

This arrange also has a very deep memory for me. I don't want to go again with the story that maybe must of you know,. It's enough to say this is another arrange that made me decide where I am standing now, without regrets.

Guys, lets not forget who we are, because what we are, what we think, and the path we build every second is our only paradise.

Thanks for watching.

I really wanted to upload a very creepy arrange of Suwako's theme due to trival picture reasons, but as you can imagine it is pretty impossible to make Suwako's theme sound creepy at all. Not even this circle that focuses on doing really "dark" and "gothic" (in this days, this both terms are real subjective, thats why the "..") arranges can even do it.
Aside from the EQ, the arrange is pretty well done. For a moment, supouse that it is has a decent EQ, and you will note an excesive amount of Shred on the guitars, and of course the drums are killers (we shall wait and see if kssael wnats to cover it :D)

I know this will not be in the cuo of tea of everyone, and I'll now that some comments are not going to be the best at all. In fact, I supouse that much people will stop hearing it at the middle of the song, cause I know, it kill your ears. But if that happens, try to listen it at a medium volume, and maybe that helps you to understand and enjoy better.

Before I go, I'll ask you to stay tunned, there ar emore updates today, and a solution to this whole "ban panic".
Thanks for watching.

Title: The Night of Eternity
Artist: Wooming, Coro
Circle: Kissing the Mirror
Album: Dreaming River
Original: 月時計 ～ルナ・ダイアル, フラワリングナイト

F**CK YEAH!
There is nothing better that hear a circle pop out of the ugliest to the high epic rooftops of the epic building! 
So yeah, Kissing the Mirror is has now totally my full seal of quality. I didn't liked this circle in any of its previous releases. They first (at least in Touhou) they started pairing a couple of songs on IRON ATTACK! albums, such is the example of the "Blade of Ancient Temple", that is a pair release of this both circles. Then after that they started to make their own releases. The first 2 albums sounded, not good. In fact they just sounded like a drum machine with an amateur guitarrist, and with a horrible keyboardist witch couldn't handle the amount of tools that he had. After that, I don't know what happened with Wooming (the guitarrist and close friend of IRON!, IRON ATTACK!'s guitarrist) that the next release of Kissing the Mirror was more keybaords than guitars. And it was most of it techno, so I didn't like it too much either. Finally their album "Crossing the big River" was like the real start of the circle, there was a better work with guitars and keyboards were better used. But still the sound was "empty", and as the guitarists like to say "without feeling". 

And finally! In the M3-23 festa they released this.....master piece! There are simply no other words to describe this arrange. I mean, combining both themes of Sakuya is the dream of any Izayoi's fanboy, and then adding this classic vibe converting it into an almost "Neo Classic" style of metal is pure winning. I'm so touched by this arrange, that I can't find no other words to describe it.

I mean, if those doesen't suit Sakuya entering to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to hunt Remilia, back when she was a Vampire Hunter, then I don't know what other scene or picture can describe. 
Come on I mean!, Sakuya cuts the gate with her knifes and the music start! Ah! Is too much for me.

Thanks Kissing The Mirror, I want to know as soon as possible, your next release.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Sky Overture
Artist: IRON ATTACK!
Album: THUNDER CONCERTO
Original: 有頂天変　～ Wonderful Heaven (Catastrophe in Bhava-agra ~ Wonderful Heaven)

I must accept Wonderful Heaven its one of those thongs I have lately discovering. Not exactly because I have never herd it, but I never had put the attention I usually put to other Touhou songs.
I like it a lot, describes a lot what Touhou is, or as ZUN would say "I think this is how Touhou sounds".

Anyway, noblet3mp requested me an arrange of Tenshi's theme, so I decided to upload...the best and the only one I have, made by IRON ATTACK!
I like it a lot. As usual IRON ATTACK! prefers to pick the song and compose in it, instead of covering. It's a real work of arrange, that deserves the meaning of the word. The unique thing I complain is that lame keyboard they use. I mean, there are thousen of other leads on a keyboard and they have to pick the one that sounds more MIDI, why?

Aside from that, don't take it wrong the picture. There is no possible way or reason of why I want to insult you guys, is just that it seemed to go pretty good with the image. I don't like that image much due to the sign Tenshi is doing, I would have preffer thousen times she was drawn doing the metal sign, but I guess we can't have all in one. In fact I have to thank noldesu who gave me the image in the first place.

(Wow, I didn't knew Mystia's theme name translation till now. What a rockin' name!)
So after a couple of wait, here is one song that you can find on the "newest" South of Heaven album. I just want to point out that this is not an IKUTO album only, since he joins with a keyboardist named "Marl". They both compose the arrangers. I didn't find their first album [東方鋼鉄組曲] (sample go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RehK4qKKAjY&fmt=18 ) witch is a EoSD arrange album very orgasmic as IKUTO tend to be. I mean, it's obvious since its not a solo-release like the rest of the efforts. This album, its better, but to be honest I think it lacks the massive power that IKUTO has.

I mean, don't take me wrong, I really liked this last album, and there is a grow from the past paired album he did with Marl. He does more guitar shred in here. In fact in this album the guitar feels actually like another instrument instead of just supporting keyboards. I also understand that he can't jump on stage with crazy solos and massive low-tuning since its a couple release album and he has to give the chance to the keyboardist to sound. 
But come on, after that last album....[東方鋼鉄劇] (the PC-98 arrange).

Anyway, this album is also much better Equalized than the past Marl & Ikuto album, as it was expected since the last album he managed to get that excellent EQ we were begging for. But still, I feel it pretty weak comparing it with the the PC-98 arrange album. Most be because now he had to also EQ the keyboards and I'm pretty sure the keyboardist lend a hand on the EQ.

Also, lets not forget this is the 2nd arrange IKUTO has done of Mystia's theme and of 夜雀の歌声　～ Night Bird. The previous one were on the album: 東方鋼鉄夜. To be honest I didn't like them much. But now, together and with some keyboards I just have to love it. 
God bless low-tunned/7-string guitars.

Overvall. its a very good album, better than the EoSD arrange, more guitar added and better EQ, + all of you IN junkies will love it. Is just that I don't consider it as an IKUTO album.

Thanks for watching.

Title: ほおずきみたいに紅い魂
Artist: ゆう
Circle: PHOENIX Project 
Album: Scarlet Inferno
Original: ほおずきみたいに紅い魂 (A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry )

Ouch, this arrange was like a brick stamping in my beautiful face.
Can someone tell me since when ゆう is doing epic stuff?

Let me clarify the things here in case you guys have some doubts, ゆう is the actual leader of PHOENIX Project, a circle that, well it is a bit popular but I always consider it as another "coverist" with an intelligent keyboard (*cough* Hachikuma *cough*)

Aside from it's circle, it has a side project called Dark PHOENIX, a circle that....tries to release metal epic stuff but to be honest there is only a couple of songs that are worth the ear.Most of the work (if it isn't all the work) is done by keyboards, and unless it has the maximum quality that Takase "the keyboard god" from Magnus Opus, S.S.H or nazz-can handles, I throw it away. 

Dark PHOENIX has been one of those circles that I don't raise my hopes up when it comes to new releases. Apparently they stopped with the "Arrow" series and they started working on the "Shotshell". If you was expecting metal, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Shotshell is also "punchi-punchi" ugly stuff.

But yes, you are right, this is not Dark PHOENIX, this is PHOENIX Project, so what is ゆう doing metal in his own circle? I unfortunately don't know the answer.
BUT! What I know is that the guy has jumped out of the dirt incredible well with this song. Finally the "samples" of guitar sounds like a real guitar, that is if it isn't a real guitar, I can't still manage to decide whether that's a keyboard or a real guitar.

Anyway, I know this song doesn't has the shred as the rest I have uploaded, but I'm a low tuning riff fanboy (CROW'SCLAW, IKUTO anyone?), and the beginning was a totally sold out. 
Also, I know the trumpets ruin a bit of the fun, but the piano bridge along the guitar in the middle, is as progressive as you can ask.

I'll leave you guys enjoy this.....metal...SKA...jazzy...thing. What is it? I don't know, but It sure deliver the amount of emotion to be uploaded.

Website: http://www.frontier-create.com/neutral/special/090621/twi...

First of all a very deep apologize to the mess that was created yesterday with a bunch of phantom and ghostly videos. Never mind for now, since after almost 5 hours of research I found the way to abuse Youtube full screen with maximum sound rage! I swear it was like making witchcraft...

AND! Talking about witchcraft.....the question lies ahead.
"WHO IS THE MOTHER FUCKING GENIUS BEHIND THIS ARRANGE!?". Well It was the same question I had when I first come across to the album. Why and how I came across with it....you will have to wait one more video, but the important is the following....

NEUTRAL2 should be called NEUTRAL RESURRECTION or something like that. To be honest, since nazz-can decided to work with non-touhou stuff and therefore left Neutral, I decided the circle wasn't much worth, and that it was not going to continue delivering the stuff we want to hear..

When I heard about Neutral's dead to transform into NEUTRAL2 I didn't paid much attention.
"There goes another popish technoish album for the deafs" I said. But the unique deaf here was your dear angel. Happens that...NEUTRAL2 is doing...a lot of metal. More than it has ever done, and happens that much of the artist behind this head-banging arrangers are just join the Touhou scene, so we can expect a long delivery of crunchy non-synthesized guitars!

The best Marisa theme, arranged in the best of the genres, this song is simply, witchcraft....

Title: Great Great Winners!
Artist: 鯛の小骨
Album: 紅鋼 AKAMETAL
Circle: Azure & Sands
Original: U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか？(U.N Owen was her?)

At this point, those who have been in the ZUN's wonderland for more than 1 year can get really tired of listening yet another arrange of U.N Owen was her? (no wonder, since she is the 2nd most popular character over the entire Touhou series. The first one is none other than Reimu. This results came at a poll ZUN did in his blog some time ago)

I won't lie to you, this was the very first ZUNG I ever herd, and therefore its the one that lead me to this very moment updating the channel, but I have to accept that It is hard for me to listen a fresh and original U.N Owen was her? Go and ask TAM and the rest of the gang on TAMAFIA circle, that have arranged the song nearly 13 times.

Anyway, yes what a surprise, Flandre is a real creepy character, therefore her music is meant to give you the chills (don't tell me you wasn't chilled when you first herd it) and thus, all the arranges tend to be somewhat....creepy. I have to accept U.N Owen is perfect for metal, but beign metal or even techno, we have to accept the composition structure behind the song is....quite.........werid. I have tried to analyze it in many ways, but I can't still say I understand 100% how ZUN composed this one. 

So, all this words for what?
This arrange it's probably one of the most originals, that is if it doesn't the most original of them all. All the arranges we have herd (leaving video 1 in Merlin's Playlist aside) of U.N Owen try to retain this "gothic Loli" styke, by adding creepy voices, creepy sound, child laughes, creepy lyrics (SYNC ART'S version is.....a religion). But who you actually know that goes straight to the core, and re-harmonize the holy thing to make it sound in almost a major scale? 

The solo is also amazing, but since you herd the riffs in the first part, you are just dying to hear more.
Anyhow, you can feel the amount of work this guy did to modify it all, and therefore, it wins a place in the playlist.

Title: 天空のグリニッジ
Artist: Doppelman
Circle: =NeutraL=
Album: Another World
Original: 天空のグリニッジ (Greenwich in the Sky)

Once again Yukari assaulted my real life saying "In your dreams baby!" when I tried to play this song on my guitar. Those type of riffs are stlll hard for me, not so much playin' them, but to keep them clean. I mean, ok play like a speed demon, but if you don't have the accuracy enough, it will all be trash. It's pretty much like, killing someone with a gun.

This artist. "Doppelman" it looks like is the new jewel of Neutral (Neutral2 or =NeutraL=), much like nazz-can was in its time. Except this guy, uses real guitars, and I love the way he shreds. He has a whole album by himself (the one that features this song), and its a total arrange/cover of 大空魔術 ～ Magical Astronomy. I challenge you to tell me another brave artist that have covered this "non-game" album of ZUN. Simply, Doppelman is one of my favorites artist now since I herd this song, and I'm green-eyed of the way he plays. I'm avid to hear more content of him in the future, at least I hope he doesn't dissapear as others artist....

So, why Greenwich in the Sky instead of picking any other song from 大空魔術 ～ Magical Astronomy?
Simply, because Greenwich in the Sky is one of my Top 10 of ZUN. I don't know what is behind it, how the hell did he composed that thing. Kinda a blues-samba thingy? The hell I know. But what I know it's that is addictive. 

Be warned, after you press play on this video, you will watch it....about....7 times. Trust me. 

About the image, "Isn't this is a "Theme" used for Maribel Han and Renko Usami?" you may ask.
So what does Yukari is doing there? I can argue tons of reasons, mainly because it was already said in a previous video what was the theory of Maribel Han, but I can simply say I used this image because I LIKED A LOT. 

One of the things that I always picture with this song, is Yukari, Yuyuko or even characters outside Touhou that are "fan" users (namely Mai from King of Fighters, Suzuka Hime from Super Robot Taisen Saga) doing a dance, moving those fans up and down doing semi circles to do a full circle moving both. 

It's hard to explain it with words, and there is no way I will upload myself doing that dance, but anyway, try to imagine Yukari or any character who you wish, doing a fan dance, and I'm sure you will get it.

天空のグリニッジ, is so addictive.

And what a better fucking way to celebrate the channel aniversary than a metal Nuclear Fusion arrange.
おのっち, is the other new jewel of NEUTRAL2, although this song isn't part of any of the circle release. It actually belongs to another circle, that is, if its an stated circle and not a casual album it was done. 

As you can see the guys know whats the business in here. I love the way that riffs sound at the begging, and of course WE FINALLY HAVE AN ARRANGE WITH THE NUCLEAR ALARM SOUND!

And only because of this last fact, I decided it was a must hear. This arrange is more trash metal than progressive or epic, but It didn't matter, since I can stand the drums without problem. The guy doesn't have a bad EQ after all. 

It was hard to choose the image for this video. First there were a lot I wanted to use, but most of them were already used as backgrounds for other video uploaders, and I wanted to give you a new image to look for. Also since there were this "CAUTION" sounds, I wanted to look for an image with the "CAUTION" words on it, but I didn't find any it will fit with the song. In the end I choosed a pretty nice image, that does not fit with the song, and doesn't have CAUTION words in it. But its new, and Utsuho looks gorgeous in it.

(yes, 130 means a new volume. posting on the blog when its finished to upload)

Title: Never die, to the moon
Artist: IRON ATTACK!
Album: SPARKING
Original: 月まで届け、不死の煙 (Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke)

Every time I check my inbox and I read "Is there a Moukou theme arrange?" I start to struggle.
Don't get my wrong, the song kick-ass, I'm not going to lie and say its one of my favorites, but it has its charm. The thing is that I only know 2 arranges that are worth to listen, this one, and of course the arrange by master Taka. 

IRON! (by the way, thats the name of the guitarrist in "IRON ATTACK!" Circle), does a explendid work here as usual. I insist that IRON ATTACK! always does an excellent job, since they totally take the song and take a fragment on it. Then after they analyze it, they start composing in the own motive of the song. That way ends up being a very own composition but at the same time with a little cover from the Touhou song itself. That is something it must be deserved to mention, since you rarely found someone who do this. (If you are curious, the other circles that does the same are: CROW'SCLAW, Demetori, South of Heaven, UI-70, Toshinori Hiramatsu and of course, the "OMFG RELEASE MORE!" Godspeed).

You guys know I don't have nothing against nazz-can, or the new jewel Doppelman, but I think this guys do more metal cover than what an arrange means. Don't take me wrong, I'm not saying its bad, but it's just different. 

What else can I say, I like a lot the song, and because of that it deserves the painting of one of my favorite artist. You have to love Shimadoriru, I want to marry that gal. Aside from that, my unique "meh" with the song lies on the ending, that is a mayor chord. It's not surprise, since Moukou song has some...."cheerful" segments, but I just feel this song had to be finished in a chaotic and epic minor chord. 

Thanks for watching, and sorry for the delay on this.

WARNING! DON'T TRY TO LISTEN TO THIS IN A HIGH VOLUME!
(You have been warned)

As usual with 刹那, his EQ dosn't help much. But as I have told you guys before, it's less frustrating if you try to hear it in a mid volume setting. 
This arrange you love it or you hate it, and in this case for me I loved it. Not since the first time I herd it, but with the time I learned to dig it. Why is that? The guitar technique behind it is quite good, lots of sweep picking. Also I enjoy the mix of strings turning it into almost a classic arrange, with also a beat-up done by the drums. You can say this is one of those rare arranges where the 3 genres are combined.
I'm going to await the day 刹那 has a good EQ. If IKUTO did it, I don't see why he can't do it. 

I think this image is gorgeous. It's one of many alterations the original image have it, but I found this one quite special. And please! Sikieki, the Judge of dead, with a bandanna covering her eyes, just as lady justice. It even beats ZUN original idea. Not even a thousand objections by Phoenix Wright or Miles Edgeworth can't stop Sikieki, the judge of dead.

Title: Water Imp
Artist: Kota-rocK
Album: 風の音塊　～ボス編～
Original: 芥川龍之介の河童　～ Candid Friend (Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's "Kappa" ~ Candid Friend)

It's payday guys, ZandUhrenberg requested me a Candid Friend arrange long time ago, and so far I though I didn't have anything good to show. But oh well, what a surprise.
Yesterday I was listening to some tracks, and this came up. To be honest, I don't like much the work of Kota-rocK for the reasons I have explained on Lunasa's 73. I never listened this arrange complete. 

Candid Friend is also something it's not in my cup of tea. To be honest, Candid Friend is for me one of those songs I don't like very much. I kinda feel it very friendly and some sort of foolish. All this combined on a Waltz rythm feels so weird that I almost end hearing a mariachi with the combination of trumpets ZUN does there. 

And yes, also Nitori is not one of my favorite characters. I don't know why she has a lot of fans. I just feel it like one of this joke characters ZUN tends to create. After all she turns out to be a good partner and in the future she helps Marisa on SA. But I mean, I don't see any way of feeling attached to her.

But who would think, 3 things that are not in my cup of tea, would turn out so good. 
This arrange is something different I have herd in all this time, and its incredible amaising. 
I love the chord progression behind it (if what you are listening its not progressive rock, then I don't know what the hell is progressive rock), and the music structure is totally superior and far from other works. 

That besides this one fact, I kinda imagine this song as a perfect battle theme againts Nitori in a Touhou RPG. Don't know why I had the sudden "Uematsu" feeling. I think its because of the musical structure and the very good guitar work behind this. Too bad that the bass and the piano is still MIDI. Well its not normal MIDI, but still feels somewhat synthethysed.

What a good way on celebrating Kota-rocK new album:

Artist: Takumi Inohaya
Album: 雪月華
Circle: Frontier Records
Original: 竹取飛翔　～ Lunatic Princess (Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ～ Lunatic Princess)

"Meirin, Meirin watashi no namae"

Right, so remeber the genious behind the RECONQUISTA album?
He is back with a whole new album, but this time...a little bit different.
First of all, RECONQUISTA was released by ALTERNATIVE circle, that is part of Frontier Records. 
This time, Takumi released his work on Frontier Records, but I don't understand what was the move, since it is practicly the same circle.

Anyway, a warning to all of you who might think to get this album. While RECONQUISTA was a more Orchestra+Metal kind of project...this album seems more like, Classic Japanese Music+Metal, BUT BE WARNED, there is only a little bit ammount of Metal in the whole album. To be honest, almost all the album is only japanese traditional music, and some of theme features an electric guitar. Still, is a very nice piece of work added to your collection, so I recomend it 100%

I must accept tho, that I consider RECONQUISTA a better work than this album.
Out of all the tracks, I think this one is the best. The combination of metal with classic japanese instruments is something that I never herd before, and to be honest, it sound REALLY MOTHER FUCKING GOOD. I felt in love of this arrange as soon as I herd, and believe it or not, this is the arrange that allowed me to understand what was behind of Lunatic Princess. To this very day, I didn't understanded why everyone is so much fan of this song. I have said it once, and till yesterday that is I kept saying it. "It's just like a plain unfinished sets of pentatonic scales.".

This arrange was a slap in my face for saying this song was that. So now, another song that I think it was common, has joined to my "VERY BEST OF TOHO". 

The artwork I choosed is awesome, and talking about the artowrk.

NO ITS NOT FROM AN ANIME! "TOUHO" ANIME IS HERETIC, IT'S FORBIDDEN, THE SIMPLE IDEA OF CONCEPT IT'S SUBJECT OF VIOLATION TO ALL THE TERMS, CODES AND POLITICS ZUN HAS STATED IN ALL HIS WORK! THERE IS NO TOUHOU ANIME, THERE WASN'T, AND THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE.

(the only way im accepting a Touhou anime, is if ZUN works on it, and to be honest, that is like expecting Dragonforce can play their solos live, i.e IMPOSSIBLE!)

Thanks for watching.

PD: If you feel that the song have missed some chords...or some measures to the original song.
Take this advice and try to listen it over and over again, till you understand what Takumi is doing with the progression of the song)

Once upon a time, there was a band of japanese talented felas who decided to start a Touhou arrange project. The musicians were awesome, but they had a mayor problem. A horrid vocalist, who couldn't stick with any of tone of the song. Even listening to them was like listening the voice track 1/2 step down the original song. Much of us were dissapointed, and we awaited patiently till they decided to do something completly intrumental.

One day, they decided to kick the vocalist girl out........AN THE WORLD WAS WHOLE LOT BETTER FUCKING BETTER!

That's right, our prayers were attended, and yuki decided to go instrumental. We are for 7th time (yes I count them) in the situation were words are not enough to describe this 2 songs. The way he did the arrange, the way he recorded them, the mastering session, even the EQ is top quality. I would use more bass on the lower strings a bit more, but that is just my spice. The song is a jewel as it is.

To be honest, I didn't wanted to show pictures and music from UFO till everyone is used to the game. Right now im sure there will be some people asking themselves "from what game is that song?!?!?!" cause I know that not everyone is deeply in Touhou, and not many of them had the chance to play the demo (or they didn't wanted to, such as my case)

But this album deserves to make an exepection. Also, I'm posting this to let people know that what it matters is UFO, and not another fighting game. I mean, Cirno as a main character? you gotta to be kidding me.

Oh and by the way:

"7 string Gt, 6 string Ba, Key, Prog, Arrange by yuki"

That's what it reads at the back cover of the album. ANTI-DEPRESSION MODE = ON

Title: 二色蓮華蝶～Red and White～ Remix
Artist: UI-70 & Demetori
Circle: UI-70
Album: 東方ふゅーじょんdemo+４ & 幻視の夜～GhostlyEyes～
Original: 二色蓮花蝶～Red And White

First of all, let me clarify a bit the difference between "Red and White" and "Ancients" songs.
二色蓮花蝶　～ Ancients is the title of the song that ZUN composed for Shuusou Gyoku (Seihou series, not Touhou) as a Reimu theme for her guest appearance in that game. Later, ZUN arranged his own composition giving it a more "ZUNish" kind of sound. The song was entitled as "二色蓮花蝶～Red And White", and was released in the 蓬莱人形 ～ Dolls in Psuedo Paradise stand alone album (albums that, do not belong to any game in particular, and ZUN adds new songs, a pretty nice story and some arranges. But it all keep being part of Touhou series). 

Therefore, this arrange is actually, an arrange over the arrange.
I wanted to upload this arrange no matter what, because of many reasons. I know it's not the best of UI-70 and Demetori together, but its the best of Red & White arranges we can find out.

Reimu is not one of my favorite characters. I rarely hook up with the main character of a franchise, I always tend to love secondary characters more than main characters. And well, "Raymoo the Shrine Maiden" is way to japanese for my taste, but hey! Some of her songs rocks! Colorful Path, at least is one song that arranged well, it can invoke the deepest devils and angels of metal. 

Red & White was this time, and thank god this is not the Hakurei Shrine Neighborhood Association.

Oh yeah, UI-70 is releasing something new on the C76. That was the main reason of this upload.

Then all of the sudden this assaults my computer......

One imagines it must feel good, but it's probably really cold.
Your clothes would probably freeze. I wonder if I'd have the guts to do it. "----ZUN

Ok, its a fact, ZUN gets more weird when it comes to music descriptions.
It is also a fact that this song is my favorite when it comes to UFO (or at least what we have herd till now).
Since the first time I herd it, it nailed a pin in my heart, and I was expecting a metal arrange soon. Who would guess that Unlucky Morpheus was going to do the job.

I have to say that ZUN really managed to transfer this "floating" feeling that he is talking about. 
And eventually this metal arrange adds the hyper speed feeling aside from the other one.
The intro is a master piece of progression, and in fact, this is another song I'm proud to say it has all the Progressive Metal in it.

The image? Well, Reimu and Kogasa are fighting each other, at hyper speed, flying trough the air. F-I-T-S period.

Album: THUNDER CONCERTO
Original: 渡る者の途絶えた橋 (The Bridge People No Longer Cross)

I really have to accept I fail to see why this song hasn't been done by any other of the metal arrangers. 
Probably it gets over-looked because of beign a second stage theme, but to be honest I consider this song as one of the best that there is in SA. Well, I consider that all the OST of SA is excellent, but I consider this song special. I mean, listen to the original song made by ZUN, it has all "SUBTERRANEAN" word marked all over the place. 

It bring me memories of nearly one year ago (YES! It's almost 1 year since SA got released, time goes by huh?) when I first played SA. This was one the very first song I got hooked up with the whole album, and in that moment I though it was going to be the big hit among those who arrange in metal genre. But I don't see why it didn't happened, I consider the song has a lot of potential for metal. 
Anyway, IRON ATTACK! noticed it, and decided to do an arrange of it. It's a very good one, not the best I must accept but I enjoy it everytime I listen to it. Also I like the effect at the beggining of the song, witch by the way I still don't know how he pull the trick.

To be honest this update wasn't mean to be double, but I crossed over this jewel and I decided it is a must upload.
Oh nazz-can, where are you in these moments? It's amaising the work that the guy done.
This was the very first album containing metal arranges of SA, I can remember what my sensations where when I listened it. 

Green-Eyed Jealously is probably one of the most enigmatic songs ZUN has composed.
It is simply amazing to battle along a song like this. Is like, if Parsee were possessed by the envy, and she plans to destroy everything at her way, even herself. Trust me, I was once possessed by the envy (who doesn't?), and only to remember it gives me the chills, in the end, I almost destroyed myself if you know what I mean.

Anyway, cutting this none-sense, I really hope nazz-can ever returns back to delight us with some more of his "keyboardyness" shred (yes that's right, he is using samples, not real guitar! Who is jealous now?)

Curious fact of the day! Parsee is 1 of the 3 characters of Touhou that can clone herself into more beings. The others are Flandre, and Yuka.

Today's update was inspired totally by the art of the video.
I was astonished to see this wonderful art, and I decided no matter what I needed to find a song to match with it. 

Looking through some arranges I have on pending upload, I came across with this one.
Yes, its the all known Kokuyasu with his "non-friendly" EQ. As usual with him I recommend it so listen it at a normal volume to listen every bit of it and avoiding a sound stress in your ears. 

The song made the perfect match with it, has some techno (it's been a while since I show another Techno Metal right?) epresenting the "mecha bunnies", and the symphonic vibe match perfectly with the evil expression Eirin has. The wonderful work of the guitar, makes all more intensive, leaving you with the perfect portrait of what the "Moon Army" is capable of.

It's rare to find a pic like this of Eirin, normally all of them are ecchi or H content, so this one has to remain for the history. Also, its nice to see her drawn in a some more professional clothes. Of course, always conserving this nurse type of vest.

Have I mentioned how much I wish to see a duel beetwen the Maid and the Nurse?
Of course I have, like 70th times already.

Remember that this channel is also focused on uploading gorgeous art with a suiting song on the background. A tribute to History of the Moon, a wonderful tribute indeed.

Title: No Grudge Any More (Off Vocal Ver.)
Artist: yuki
Circle: Unlucky Morpheus 
Album: REBIRTH OFF VOCAL VER. 2
Original: リーインカーネイション

Wow, so many things I need to say that I can't find myself an order.
First of all, as you can see its the off-vocal version (THANK GOD!) Trust me, you guys don't want to hear how the vocal version of this sounds. Remember on that other Unlucky Morpheus video I said they had a horrible vocalist? Well in the vocal version of this song, she appears with an horrendous intonation that made even the dog of the next door bark. I always got a little sad cause Unlucky Morpheus wasn't an instrumental project.....but now it is (THANK GOD! by 2nd time).

Before yuki released the master piece called "Amazement Park!!!" he released a compilation with the best songs without the vocals (THANK GOD!! by 3rd time), so that's the reason why the song lacks of guitar work. 

Unfortunately the album was released without doing a surgery to the EQ, thus there were various problems with it. First of all , it sounds like if the mid frequencies were stronger than anything else, making it sound more rockish than metal. Bass is almost missed, not to mention its less progressive and less metalish. The other problem it was a very low volume. I don't know if this mistake was because someone screwed up the protools at the moment they took the vocal tracks down, or it was made like that so the vocals got more volume. So, I did the surgery myself, I didn't mess up with EQ but I did raised the volume to hear it in a normal frequency. 

Although it wasn't as heavy as yuki did last time, I found it quite nice, and I decided it deserved to be listened by you all. 

Getting out of topic, I want to clarify something that most (if it isn't that all, including me) touhou music uploaders in youtube/niconico. They always make the same mistake, when it comes to this Mima theme and the name. 

There are 2 versions of Reincarnation. Once is named "Reincarnation", it was composed by ZUN and it was Mima's Theme in the "Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream" game. As the time went by, ZUN did an arrange of his own song called "リーインカーネイション" (Reincarnation, written in katakana for those who dosn't know the basics of Japanese language) in the "Dolls in Psuedo Paradise" album. So whats the difference? Beside the Japanese/English writing, there is a very big difference in the songs, namely, the string progression everyone does at the beginning of the song.

Here is the PC-98 version:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hws4X0skF1Y

And here is the arrange version by ZUN:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_adQ22WRY8

Note how the epic string section at the begging (0:25) is missing at the PC-98 version?
So everytime now you hear this string progression in another arrange, means its an arrange of "リーインカーネイション" instead of "Reincarnation".

Solving that, and moving into another and last point of this wall of text. If you hadn't known, Merlin Playlist is now beign managed by a very good friend of mine, and he is hosting the new music on his channel. The main reason of this update, was to do a paired update of the same song.

And yes, Harmless stands for happy rockish feeling and no vocals version (THANK GOD!! by 3rd time).

"Parallelism is a term in geometry and in everyday life that refers to a property in Euclidean space of two or more lines or planes, or a combination of these." Thats what KakashiMr and me are doing today, something we are going to call "Paired" or "Parallel" updates, and what a better way to introduce it that with the song that represent the parallel universe where Renko and Maribel lives on. This updates consist on grabbing the same song, and upload a classic arrange in Merlin and a metal arrange in Lunasa.

I'm totally obsessed with Greenwich. I can't stop it to listen it over, and over and over and over and over for days. I don't know if it's because of the jazzy structure, or the tempo, but it catchy as hell.
Like if it wasn't enough with the original song, Demetori decided to give it a try and to be honest there is only one way to say: ITS A FREAKING MASTER PIECE! 

Tokunan (Demetori guitarist) grows over and over and over at giant steps with every song he makes. Nor those he only decides to change the tempo and the measure of the song. He also changes tone and makes a perfect arrange with his own shredder style without missing any single note of the original song. It's like if Tokunan was a ZUN in a parallel universe!

Original: 信仰は儚き人間の為に (Faith is for the Transient People)

Let us all take it easy (no "yukuri" thing allowed in this court room) and think what just happened with UI-70. I bet more than 1 was pretty excited seeign UI-70 was going to arrange Nuclear Fusion, Reincarnation, among others. 

So what happens? I listen to the music and my first impression is, "Chiptune?".
Further than that, anything I can say it's quite depressing, but let us say that this track you are hearing now is the best made of the album. Everything went mega cheerful this time. On their past album "if", they added some cheerful tunes, but this time they went far away of what the very word "corny" means. 4 of the 4 metal tunes on this album (yeah, not even the whole album is metal now) are way too cheerful for my cup of tea. 

It is not that bad I have to accept. This arrange is pretty well done, and I guess this is were Demetori made its magical appearance. But come on UI-70! What went wrong? What happened?! It's just listens like the first effort of a lamic circle.

Anyone, who I am to judge. Have I made my first release? No. Have I arranged something? I'm still working on that. Have I mixed any song on my life? No. Then I guess there is no way I decide wether UI-70 is on its way to the trash can. 

Putting aside the bad news, today there is a double update, be sure to check the other arrange that UI-70 made. Maybe that makes you change your opinion about it.

Thanks for watching, and I apologize to all of you because of this some sort of rant.

Well, no it isn't. It's actually a mistake of my order to upload Lunasa 144 in the same week than the C76 was starting, but look it on the bright side, you know have 2 reasons to reincarnate and to feel yourself cheerful.

Most of what I wanted to say about UI-70 new release is on the past video. Let's just say this time they went beyond the word "cheerful".
It's a shame you know, I was saving a diabolic mega hardcore image of Mima for an aggressive arrange. But guess we will have to wait that someone else do the job. 

Don't take me wrong, it's not I don't like this new release. It's just...gah I was expecting something more aggressive, after all Demetori was with them.

To be honest I wanted to put an inspiring bit of a poetry I'm making to honor Utsuho-sama arrival into the big leagues (You wouldn't think I didn't screamed like mad when I knew my favorite character was playable in a Tohou fighting game) but I prefer to finish it and give time to see if someone else arranges Nuclear Fusion.

Meanwhile, the Comicket has finished, and with it many good albums are going to show up soon or later, unfortunately this is the best I can offer at the moment.

Yes the almighty Kokoyasu A.K.A "I DONT LIKE THE GOOD EQ" has returned with a new album. 
Fortunately he hasn't changed a thing of his previous releases, unfortunately, he hasn't changed ANY thing of his previous releases.

What I mean with this? As you can hear, the EQ is still way before the adjective "good". To be honest I have learned to listen to it. If you just put the volume to a decent level (say, if your max is 10, let it be around 4-6) and you will hear most of the parts of what the guy wanted to express. 

I know this do not compete with other arranges of Hellfire Mantle, but I liked it a lot. It is just THE perfect arrange for a pre-final battle. In fact, this would be an excellent song for Touhou 12.3 (and yes, Inb4"DontYouSayYouHatedIt?!", come one guys my favorite character is playable, I HAVE to love the game). I just fail to see why the guys who made this new fighting game miss to add a "Custom Soundtrack" feature. Knowing the tons of arranges out there, players would be thankful of listening to their favorite mixes while THEY BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THEIR ENEMIES WHO DARES TO CRTIZICE THEIR FAVORITE CHARACTER. 

Mark my words, and mark them good. I'll avenge Utsuho-sama, or I'm not worthy to be called ChaosAngel.

Oh Patchy, Patchy Patchy. Summon some METAL element for us will ya?
First of all, don't ask me where the hell does IRON is getting the names for the songs. It's a strong combination between surrealism, poetry and "engrish".
Now, SOMEONE (listen UI-70) could learn a thing or 2 about growing up in arranges. Listen for example this, what I consider the best track of the newest album of IRON ATTACK!.

As usual IRON gets very unique when it comes to arranges. We know he tends to grab the original song just as a main structure, and then he adds a full new song with new improvisations and re-harmonization making it sound almost like an original song. 
Some may think this is heretic, but I consider it quite unique. I have to accept IRON isn't my kind of metal, but I still consider it worthy in all means.

Also, I didn't know that the Touhou Japanese community finds Patchy the bookworm, as a sex symbol of the Touhou universe. Well not exactly a symbol, but you wouldn't believe me how many images of what kind I sawed back there. Not that it bothers me :D

Patchy has never been one of my favorite characters. It is simply, not my style of design. 
But, she could suggest me what she does for being an all nighter. In this moments, doing 2 careers at the same time, I feel just like her, anemic, sleepy and incapable of manipulate time.

Wooming from Kissing the Mirror is on his own now. No partnership by Cororo this time, so maybe you can hear a bit empty the background, but overall is a very good album.

This is the first song, and hence the name and the feeling of the song I think its what describes perfect the album, since the last one Kissing the Mirror said "NO MORE!" to ugly arranges and started to do some deep stuff. This time, the Dream Continues, but as I said, it's Wooming on his own.

This time the image was the mere propouse of uploading this. 
Leaving the "I'll BE BACK!" meme by Terminator, I think the image plus the song catches the vibe of Remilia saying "I'll return...". I don't know why, but I just pictured Remilia in a Castlevania game.....AGAIN.

By some reason when I first herd this song, it sounded so oddly familiar.
I think my brain kinda mistook it at the begging by something done by Joe Satriani. I know that It can't be compared, but I don't know why it give me the hint of another song. The begging of "Just Let me Breathe" by Dream Theater? 

Anyway, the picture talks by itself. What I imagined this was Aya flying at all speed trough the clouds of Gensyoko at all speed. Rushing to get a new and fresh story for the day. 
I got to accept I hat that Touhou Anime made by Maikaze, but I cannot deny I laughed a lot when Reimu asks for help and....well go and watch that heretic episode if you want to know the rest, I don't want to spoil the joke.

In case you haven't noted, it's A-HEAD behind this arrange, the same one behind that incredible arrange of Nuclear Fusion. So A-HEAD has scored with the 2 of the crows known in Gensyoko.
Aya isn't one of my favorite characters but the main concept of beign ZUN's mary sue character makes her really interesting. To think ZUN can think of his characters as interviwing them with a fictional character. There is even more, he intrviews himself using his own fictional character! 
ZUN sure knows how to take advantage when it comes to the word "freedom" in art.

Well, so what are you waiting for, go spread your wings and enjoy your freedom while you can.

It's isn't a secret that this song has achieved the No.1 in most of people interests when it comes to ZUN songs. I have to accept its a song in my "The very best of ZUN" collection, and I will always enjoy a very well done arrange. 

But to be honest this can't be called a well done arrange.
This is......something unsual. This is a godly made arrange. It has been a while since I don't post something about the great Takase from Magnum Opus. Don't take me wrong, it isn't because I don't like it. It's just that this channel also supports to support the musicians behind this wonderful songs. 

Aside from that, I have to accept the facts of this channel, and one of them is that if I had to name an arranger behind the magestuosity of this collection that me and the rest of the community are doing, it had to be Takase. Combining elements of Dream Theater, Opeth and Symphony X makes the music of ZUN take a new step in composition. It's so breath-taking everytime I feel all the work behind this arranges. Take for instance this one, you can hear how he focused on every instrument, from Drums to the Keyboards and the Guitar. 

To this very moment, I lack of words to describe the work that Takase does, and for that reason, he deserves to be listened not only by the Touhou community, by the rest of the musicans out there. Leave if they are classics, pop, rock, metal, latin, or jazz composers.

Anyway, since long time ago people has been asking me to upload another Invisible Full Moon arrange. FlonneAdmirer is the one who requested me this "harder" or "extreme" arrange that the one was uploaded before, so I told her/him that the option to those descriptions was Kokuyasu.

It is true, once again the not-friendly EQ guy returns to the channel. But this is the only song I can stand in a high volume. Actually to my taste, this is the best arrange Kokuyasu has done over his 4 albums. While I have to accept going Goth with Reisen is a little crazy, the arrange manages to arise a new original song, with the ZUNish vibe behind. Although I'm pretty sure everyone will note the obvious "Dancing Mad" tribute. You just have to love the organs behind this arrange. As I said, in my personal point of view, this is the best track Kokoyasu has made.

Turns out that Reisen theme is in my cup of tea. Probably because its too weird for me and I'm still unable to understand it. It is that sensation of the unknown because I love it so much, and I wont lie about it, that the touch of guitars is something I enjoy every time I hear it.
It is a surprise most of the arranges I hear I don't like them, cause no one can reproduce that odd sensation ZUN make me feel when I hear Invisible Full Moon. 

Reisen is one of my favorite characters. First of all I'm crazy about guns, the bunny guard uses guns (let it be real guns or using his hand as a danmaku launcher), you do the math. Plus I love her style on Imperishable Night. Her "suit" clothes with that sexy skirt can only mean she is the most hardcore Turk agent Kaguya has. I miss that outfit on SWR or UNL.

Why combining FF VII with Touhou now? I don't know, I have always pictured Kaguya, Eirin, Reisen and Tewi as some sort of Shinra, managing the lowest moral bussines in Gensyoko. (And now, in Advent Cirno the one beign Shinra leader is Yukari). 

Anyhow, this arrange is pure winning for Kokuyasu.
Oh and this time choosing the picture wasn't that hard, only took me 15 minutes! 
Record time for me. 

Thanks for watching.

"Yeah, to put it short, the observations are too expensive."

"It's the same reason for why we cannot take the Moon Tour, right?"

"The energy for separating small objects becomes bigger as the objects become smaller. Molecule to atom, atom to nucleon, nucleon to quark... So as the object gets smaller, the energy needed grows infinitely, right? And then it comes to the very end, and we find an object that cannot be separated even with the biggest energy in the universe. We can say this object is the smallest material in the world. Physics has stepped into the next phase because it has already reached to the smallest world. From here on we cannot observe anymore, so this is now mostly the realm of philosophy."

"Ah, this new cake look tasty! It's smallest units would be artificial egg and artificial strawberry, right?"

The limit of energy is said to be 1019 GeV. If an amount of energy exceeded this quantity, it couldn't exist in the space-time. Incidentally, this 1019 GeV is called Planck energy, which is about as 1021 times as the energy in an atom. ] ---From 大空魔術 ～ Magical Astronomy story line.

Blues, on a the (9) day for you guys.
Well, actually the background on the picture is kind of purple, but what the hell.

This is my way of saying "Happy (9) day!" for all of you Cirno fans out there.
And in case you are wondering, "What is this (9) day?" then you are certainly a (9).

Today is 9 of the 9th month, on the 2009 year, so that makes this day the official Cirno day.
(You are lucky Utsuho born after the 6 day, on the 6 month, on the 2006 year.)

It is not a coincidence everytime I upload CROW'SCLAW I try to match the song with the best picture in the collection. After all, Taka is my favorite guitarrist, it's the least I can do to offer his product with the quality it deserves. Because looking a Cirno image with a Les Paul is kind of day-dreaming (there was one but not as epic) I threw the song with my favorite Cirno image I have. You probably have seen many of these flying trough the internet. He/She is the copycat of the one who made artworks for Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (now UNL), so way before Cirno, Utsuho, Sanae and Suwako were announced as new characters, there was already some sort of official artwork. To be honest, the guy certainly does a better job than the guy in UNL. Tasogare Frontier should really consider hiring this guy for future artwork, let alone if its Touhou or not. 

And talking about blues, I want a Les Paul Custom. 
It's time I sell my house, my car, my dog, my organs and charge for night-fun.
Oh yes, I also want to meet Taka.

Happy (9) day guys!

Original: 天空の花の都 (The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky), 幽霊楽団　～ Phantom Ensemble (Ghostly Band ~ Phantom Ensemble)

Most of you already know the notice posted on the blog (Thanks KakashiMr, you are 1 in a million), but a new member have joined to The Poltergeist Mansion community. In order to cease the hate and reach a truce, KakashiMr and ChaosAngel decided to include Myon (a.k.a taboovampyre) as a member of this community and let her take possession of what it has been a top question from all of you, Lyrica Playlist (that's right, and KakashiMr haven't reached 100 videos yet, consider all of you lucky).

So anyway, the rest of the history can be readed at the post of the blog, but in a nutshell. Although I disagree with 90% of what Myon says, she has good taste on images, she knows a lot of techno, and personally I wanted to apologize with her because of the way I reacted at many flamewars (If you don't understand anything I said, good don't worry it's not vital information). Be sure to check her Lyrica account, be polite, friendly and check out the first video to get the idea of what Lyrica is going to be about.

Life is full of turns thats for sure, foe yesterday, today ally, and today we are giving the proper demonstration of that, such as I've never expected to post MyonMyon on Lunasa, and using a Shimadoriru for it. 

But it's kind of the perfect scene to describe whats going on, to be honest I don't like 90% of the stuff MyonMyon or Pizuya Cell has. It's not that it isn't well done, it is just that its not my kind of metal. But there are always (well most of the times) diamonds in the dirt, and this was one of them. While the Godwood keyboards can be hell a lot annoying, the Bongo bass of Myon along Pizuya's Les Paul come to light in a rage of very well done riffs. Ok yeah, the solo isn't the best, but you have to accept those pinch harmonics sound way too good. It was to be expected from the apprentice of Taka. That's right, Pizuya learned to do Pinch Harmonics and EQ properly thanks to The CROW from CROW'SCLAW. 

MyonMyon welcomes Myon, using a Shimadoriu.

Anyway, it's been a while since we herd about Discord Registers, and allow me to say they have made a lot of progression since their last release, about 1 year ago.
Yes it's true the keyboard can sound a bit odd at first time, but after a while of understanding the flow of the arrange you feel they are on the right place. 

As soon as I herd this arrange I felt in love of it. Let alone the crunchy riffs that are very enjoyable, also the combination they did between Voile and Patchy theme it's just great. It feels like if they were meant to be together for every other arrange we have herd. While it's truth that the guitar work is not the main thing, I can perfectly enjoy the rhythm guitar on the back, as long as there are crunchy riffs like this one.

Curious fact of the day. Did you know that Koakuma was named by fans? Truth enough, this mid-boss character didn't had a name when EoSD came up (I think is rather obvious since there is no name under her health bar). Curious fans started to name her "Koakuma" due to its meaning, "little devil" or "imp". It was later then asked to ZUN what was her name, to what he confirmed it was indeed "Koakuma". The same happened to Daiyousei, 2nd stage mid-boss of EoSD. 

I found odd how although there is no official art of this little devil, she is always portrayed by fans as beign one o the sex bombs in the Touhou franchise. Don't ask me how is that fans can get so many ideas from just 1 piece of sprite with no more than 100 pixels. Truth is that fans always draw her gorgeous, something I thank, since she is one of my favorite characters. 

Libraries with hot redhead devils assistants, running around with tight pantyhose and black dress?
Gee, that hears like the perfect solution to fix the lack of study in so many schools.

*not so tired this time, so a bit of text goes next*

It's no surprise that sometimes, arranges make us admire the songs we overlook when it comes to Touhou. This time, it happened to me with this arrange and Fate of Sixty Years.
Since I'm not a big fan of Phantasmagoria of Flower View, I never had the chance to actually feel all the music behind it. I loved Riverside View because of metal arranges, but the "sixtieth" is very uncommon, and never got the chance to appreciate the incredible sound behind this song.

This is one of the songs I'll remember forever. The sound of guitar is incredible awesome, and the progressions on every bit of the song makes it even more gorgeous. There is one point of the song that makes you feel present in the real last judgment from Gensyoko. 

Shikieki, she is indeed a very overlooked character. Since I started to like her theme more and more, I did a little bit of research, and I was amazed the concept behind this character. I mean, a divine character capable of judging who is going to heaven, who is going to hell, who deserves to reborn, and who must dissapear, and having a Grim Reaper as a subordinate? There is no doubt Sikieki is another character that deserves proper attention in the next Touhou fighting game (our only hope to re-visit characters from previous games).

With an oddly, but epic side-note I'll conclude this video with the following sentence:

"Life is a trial, there are people who is guilty, those who are innocent, the ones in charge of supporting them and the word of the Judge that will decide the end of it all"

All objections overruled.

Original: ほおずきみたいに紅い魂 (A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry), 妖魔夜行 (Apparitions Stalk the Night). 

First of all, I apologize with everyone that likes to listen to the playlist. I have always made this "No synth guitars" police in all the channel, but this time It needed to be different. Let me tell you guys the story. I was making my decision on what to choose for Rumia theme on this section (go to the blog to found more information about what I'll feature from 161 to 169 videos), but I couldn't manage to find something enough creepy and darker to be posted in the immoral compilation. Of course, it wouldn't be easy to find a Rumia theme with a dark essence, since, well, Rumia theme is pretty cheerful.

Then I decided to give Sonic Highspeed Omega a try, since I have received countless PM's requesting and recommending me to check out this circle. I struggled a bit with myself, but in the end I decided to give it a shot and listen. What was my surprise when I managed to found such a beautiful composed arrange of both Rumia themes (stage and boss). While I was a bit still unsure to upload this, since I don't like to upload synth metal (although, if you listen well, the very first video on this playlist is made with keyboards) that doesn't manage to disguise the sound of synths. But this time I had to do it because of the incredible composition behind it. 

I was saving this image whenever I found a "One Winged Angel" style of arrange from Rumia theme, but the chances that someone actually makes it its really hard, so I decided to use it for once and for all, since I wanted to use it since the very first time I sawed it. I know the image does not fit the second part of the arrange, since it's all happy and cheerful, but I wanted to try and see how this imageXmusic video turns out. 

Just in case you aren't very fond to Touhou fan stories, the girl that appears on that image is "EX-Rumia". It's a fan character (meaning there is nothing official about it), made out of Rumia. Legend speak that when Rumia takes her ribbon out of her hair, the dark forces in her unseal, releasing the darker youkai of them all, to make it the most powerful being in Gensyoko that has existed ever.

Official or not, since I read this Rumia has been one of my favorite characters. Even if it wasn't because of that, the Youkai of Darkness, that likes to eat people out in the night, with that loli style of character makes it enough terrifying to deserve an spot in the immoral section.

"You govern the fate of death. But even fate is a truth wound by time."

It is a fact that Sakuya Izayoi is on eof the most enigmatic Touhou characters out there. 
It is true that she works for Remilia as her subordinate, but were she comes, how she get there, and what is her main objective is still a mystery to Gensyoko itself. 

There are questions that never will be answered, or that is best to left unknown, but manipulating time to me, its evil enough to deserve a place in this special section.
Time has so many paradoxes unsolved, so many questions unasnwered, and so much complexity behind it, that any human can freak out about knowing the truth meaning of it. After all what is time if it's not the daily substance, the constant element that make us move every moment.

Manipulating the most important element of life can develop the ultimate power to be known.
That's why we can expect Sakuya to govern the fate of every life being in Gensyoko. 

While you listen to one of the best tracks IKUTO has done, I invite you to write down along your comment, something evil about time that Sakuya would tell to any character of Touhou series, when she is about to win the battle. Here is mine to start the chain:

With an innocent image, and a rotten inside, I consider Satori to be one of the most demonic characters ZUN has ever created. It is true that her appearence can make her look like a little weak girl, but to read your mind and incarnate your worst fears it's an ability that sure makes Satori really demonic. Living in the underground, close to the hell, in a church full of her pets makes the perfect location for the demon Satori is.

And this music makes adds to her theme the perfect spice of evilness that goes along her personality. By some reason, Kokoyasu tracks always sound like if it was the end of the world. Like the last battle of the humanity. Somehow, this track manages to remind me the first time I battled against Satori. My impression when she made copies of Yukari cards out of the Reimu deepest fears was something gorgeous, but at the same time pretty evil. 

To read the mind of others, making their brains and heart burst, incarnating their worst fears.
Satori proofs that "fearless" its a concept that dosn't exist at all.

Original: ネクロファンタジア (Necrofantasia)

Given an open A set, we call a boundary point X to that witch for any radius R bigger than 0, the intersection with A is not empty, and the intersection with A Complement, is also not empty. 

This is one of the main first concepts on the study of Topology and also Calculus.
Since the first moment I read about this (I study Topology), I knew were ZUN was pulling out the concept.

Yukari, is the Youkai of Boundaries. If we wish to put it in a mathematical way, Yukari is the one that manipulates the boundary points (and therefore, the whole boundary itself) beetwen the different sets it exist. Yukari is that transformation on our space that makes boundary points change from time to time. 

Her power, goes beyond the average comprehension o f math, and It's incredible that ZUN manages to represent concepts of Topology with one character of his Wonderland. 
To explain it in a less complex way, Yukari is the one that manipulates the border, the edges of the space, thats how she manages to manipulate the boundaries between Gensyoko and the Netherworld, and even the boundaries between Gensyoko and Japan itself (The train on SWR proofs it). 

Now, besides her power, Yukari personality adds even more mistery to it's concept. 
Without beign defined wether she is a heroine or a villian (like a boundary point of the concept of ying-yang), she does what she wants. She can decide to save Gensyoko from yet another crisis, or destroy it with just one movement of a boundary. And if this isn't enough, Yukari is the only boss, in ALL Touhou series, that wasn't exactly beat by the heroines. She just got tired, and agreed to fix the border between the Netherworld and Gensyoko.

This, aside from the misery behind Yukari true purpose on Gensyoko makes her one of the most evil character that ZUN has ever created. 

Lastly, a phrase from the books of Euclid. The first definition of the concept of "boundary", that human met:

"A boundary is that which is an extremity of anything."

Deep in the basement of the Scarlet Mansion, the greatest of all evils, the insane monster of Gensyoko, the "dirty secret" of the Scarlet Family, the incarnation of the devil, rest away from all human contact besides her sister's servants.

There is no doubt, to anyone on the Wonderland, that Flandre is the most evil character of all Gensyoko. So evil, and so destructive, that ZUN hasn't consider her on any fighting game because it would be "totally broken". 

An unstable vampire, capable of destroying anything at her sight, but among all, the total mistery of what freedom is makes Flandre the ultimare reincarnation of the devil, that only God himself can stop. With the Ragnarok at her hand, she won't hesitate to find out what this "freedom" is, that is until she knows there is something else beyond the Scarlet Mansion.

Such a destructive, infinite power rises the obvious question, "Why she doesn't escape and goes to the outside?". The answer to this question goes more deeper than what it meets to the eye. Goes so deep, that the answer it's another question itself, "Why would you want to escape, if you don't know there is an outside?". If all your life you have lived in a box, what is the point of breaking that box if you don't know it is a box? 

Gensyoko is safe, that is until Remilia can lock her sister down, blinding her with what the real world is, but after that, only God himself will be able to stop the "Uknown" demon. Amen

Emiya here (or KakashiMr in Youtube language), this was a double update planned by Chaos, the rest of the details are specified in the other video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gwv86yFbMg

Shinki, Satan herself, the most evil entity present in Makai.
She lives in the very center of Makai, in the lowest layer of hell, in the scorching flames of Pandaemonium. Pandaemonium, the capital city of hell, a city that no human city will ever be able to be compared to in size or will any sin be able to be compared to in evilness. Yet at the same time it can be considered one of the smallest cities. That is the insanity of hell, a place where you will never know what is what, who is who or how big anything will ever be.

Shinki herself has never gone outside of Makai, this places the question "Can she leave Makai? Is she trapped there?" "If she is, by who?".
Makai, the very meaning of insanity, to go in there and see the horrors that world has in store for you would mean driving a bullet through your skull and extracting it with your bare hands, all done while keeping a smile on your face and laughing. Yet our heroines have ventured inside of it and have come out, sane, and alive, numerous times.

I could bring up a whole Dante reference here, as in Makai being Hell, Gensokyo Purgatory and above Gensokyo in a temple in the skies lies Byakuren and Paradise. What could Reimu's abode, the Hakurei Shrine be?

"...Makai, a world of demons whose entrance is located near the Hakurei Shrine in a mountain cave."
-From Touhou wiki

I wonder, could the Hakurei Shrine be seen as Jerusalem? This also strikes me as quite strange, since technically the last two stages of UFO are in Makai, yet it's in the paradise above Gensoukyo. I wonder, are they two separate places? What is Makai exactly? A separate set of universes?

Maybe the whole Touhou franchise is ZUN's spiritual voyage to cleanse himself?

What more dangerous, and threaten to Gensyoko can be, than a goddes who seeks perfection and equilibrium trough the faith of all habitants, even if these refuses to have any in her. Kanako sure will do anything possible to exterminate the Hakurei Shrine and to make hers, the unique one on Gensyoko. 

Her greed and ambitious on collecting faith are so high, that she is the responsable of the nuclear disasters of Subterranean Animism. Yes you read it right, Kanako is the one that pushes Reiuji Utsuho to the border of insanity, and gives her the "faith" to swallow Yagaratsu's powers. 

For now, Gensyoko suffers the rivality between the Moriya Shrines, and the Hakurei Shrines, and its habitants have the opportunity to have faith in one of them, or both. 
But we know that soon or later, Kanako will plan again her conquer of Faith, and close the Hakurei Shrine once and for all. She won't stop until hearing everyone screaming "we will believe" even if that means, destroying Gensyoko itself.

With this update, I finish the inmoral pack, featuring the 10 (11 in this cause, Nue wasn't planned) most evil characters known on the wonderland. I hope you have enjoyed it.

Emiya here (or KakashiMr in Youtube language), this was a double update planned by Chaos for you guys but because of many reasons he is unavailable right now, and does not know when he will be, so he left updating the channel in my hands. Long story short his computer is malfunctioning, no need to panic though, that is the last thing we want you guys to do. And yes, this is 171, it's not a typo, or is it a mistake. Also, Chaos has decided to extend the Immoral compilation, since there's quite a lot of "evil" material he wants to share with you guys.

Byakuren, an idol among Youkai, compared to a sect leading "saint" who wants to liberate youkai from the "tyranny" humans supposedly have placed them under, but get's ruthlessly denied by our evil, Youkai-hating heroines. But that somewhat makes little to no sense whatsoever, since humans are the ones who live in constant fear of the youkai and the youkai are the ones who are evil and oppress the humans, which is not the same for all of the youkai, there are of course, kinder youkais who show more love towards the human race.

By that I'm referring to most of the UFO cast (along with some other non-UFO characters), with some exceptions, most of the youkais in UFO are not evil, after all, Byakuren was the one who wanted peace, but got a big fat "NO!" from the heroines.

I mean, Christian Touhou fans have even compared her to Jesus Christ himself, she fought for the Youkai's rights, but instead got sealed away for the "sins" youkais have committed.

Christ and Satan, two opposing elements in paganism, Byakuren and Shinki, two opposing elements in Touhouism. Two elements that are in constant conflict and will never settle down, a constant war.

Album: -TRINITY- Metal Side

Another great piece by the already famous Takumi Inohaya.
While the past video (Lunasa 171) didn't have much success, I decided to upload another track and show the potential Takumi has. 

Overval -TRINITY- Metal is a great album, full of crunchy riffing and a huge work behind the arranges. Most of the tracks, enjoy not only the pleasure of being only covers, there is also a pretty good amount of composition back there that is worth to check. I am very thankful Frontier Create decided to invite Takumi to do this project, since the guy is capable of handling any genre at all. RECONQUISTA was a definitive proof of what a guitar with orchestra can do, and TRINITY is not the exception.

The only thing I wonder, is his odd endings. He always manages to finish the song in an incorrect form, or with some kind of bad edition. Thankfully this one is faded out nicely, with a very odd ending, it is well mixed.

Rural Makai City Esoteria is one of my favorite tracks on UFO. ZUN is getting more and more complex with his compositions. The odd patterns on the rhythm on that song are not the exception. The song fits perfect the ambiance of the stage, with all that neon light and star wars battle like. Seems life a definitive epic battle. The amount of bullets on that stage is....wow.

In other news, there is a double update today cause It isn't fair celebrating 1500 subscribers with only 1 delayed video. I have to thank you all for your support. As I repeated this many times, this has turned out pretty good, and your support, and comments are invaluable to this channel, your Touhou Metal community.

Besides that, I ask an apology for the recent delay on everything. Something happened that needs my full attention in this moments. In case you are interested, this is what happened:

Album: Unbeatable Accomplice
Original: 魔女達の舞踏会　～ Magus (The Witches' Ball ~ Magus)

I am not very fond to the Halloween culture, since my culture does another type of celebration. Actually this update was meant to be uploaded the 1st of november, but since most of you celebrate Halloween, I decided to give you a party present that you can use in tonight's party (or to enjoy it all alone). 

As I have said many times already, I consider The Witches Ball as the best of all Marisa themes. The reason is because from my point of view manages to retain all the essence of Marisa, being a somewhat dark character sometime. Let us not forget, that Marisa was formely introduced as a boss, and later became one of the main characters.

Now, this track belongs to a very good album. As you can see, Xi from AQUAELIE (Bad Apple X Startovarious arrange) and yuki from Unlucky Morpheous (I don't need to say who he is) joined forces to produce this album. Having most of the tracks composed by Xi, and the guitar and bass played by yuki. Oh, God bless that 7 string guitar he has. 

So anyway, it is a very good album that is worth to get. Xi keyboards still sound a bit "plastic" to me. I think that a little bit of work behind those can make from this couple, the best circle that has done arranges ever.

Death, is indeed a really delicate topic. Like my grandma used to say "We laugh at dead, cause we are so afraid of it." Wise words that I'll never forget, so let us all remind us that life is finite, and there cant be any second lost, to enjoy our life.

Trick or Treat? It's up to you, but as for today, and the rest of the weekend, let us also think in the one that have departed from this world, and pay a minute of silence in the name of respect. 

Let us also remember that, when we are beyond the grave, nothing else can kill us. Nothing.

Yes, sometimes excessive drumming its nocive for your head, but in this particular arrange I was able to stand it, and I needed to upload it, not to mention the beautiful outworldy introduction. 

It is no surprise that Wooming does this. I mean, 80% of the material made by Kissing the Mirror has a real strong work on those drums, not to mention that sometimes are excesive and I wasn't able to stand them. Since the very beginning, Wooming has loved to do death/core/speed drums alike, and how not, if his main influence is Children of Bodom.

Actually if you listen well, you can hear how Wooming tried to mix some of the distortions used by Alexi Laiho.
It is so sad tho, that there is no usage of Floyd.

I have said it once, and I'll say it once again. Kissing the Mirror was a circle that jumped out of the mediocrity from one album to another. All of the sudden, Wooming started to arrange a lot of interesting stuff, with a hell of a quality that I couldn't resist not to upload.

And why Eternal Shrine Maiden? Cause my inbox was full of PM's requesting for this song.
Actually I never paid close attention to the song until now. You guys judge me or not, but this is now for me, the official theme of Reimu Hakurei.

And because I know this might be a heavily criticized video, please keep your critics constructive, addressed, and free of flame warsim.

Title: 広有射怪鳥事～Till When?
Artist: CASTER
Album: 東方鋼鉄異夢
Circle: South of Heaven
Original: 広有射怪鳥事～Till When? (Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?)

This is an update dedicated to people that appreacite guitar work more than anything else (and I guess most of the memebers here do), so let us not discuss or rant about the EQ of the song.

Ok lets rant for, just a bit. Turns out that South of Heaven has a new memeber. This time wasn't Marl the keyboardist, and it is abiously not IKUTO, circle leader. This guitarrist is called CASTER, and to be honest I liked it a lot.
Can you hear that guitar? I mean, it's true, the main melody of ZUN's song is a bit bland, and maybe it gets a little repetitive over a while. But, that intro at the beggining, and the solo you are about to hear in a couple of seconds are just godly. Not to mention the tapping (?) part on the main ZUN melody. As a guitarrist I have to admit it is a totally succesfull attempt to create a more rockish version of Till When?

But, as we can hear, not everything is epic and perfect. Unfortunately, there is a huge mistake on the EQ. Well, maybe it wasn't consider it as a mistake, but I feel that the drums are really loud, not to mention they hear really proccesed (If you are going to use a drum machine, you have to do the best you can in order to make it sound not virtual) . Aside from that, the bass volume is really high, and takes a lot of shine to that gorgeous guitar on the track.

I feel like if the guitarrist was miles away from the studio, while the drums are in front of me.
I did some research, and turns out that it was IKUTO who mixed the album. I mean...what happened? I thought we were over this? Last time IKUTO mixed the album (PC-98 album), it was a gorgeous piece of music, and it is even one of my favorite albums...of ALL my metal collection (not only Touhou). 

Don't ask me what went wrong on this one, probably it was recorded in another studio with less machines to work on. 
Anyhow, that guitar was deserved to be herd. I really wish to hear more of CASTER on the upcomming events, and who knows, maybe a duo beetwen IKUTO and CASTER? That would really make the channel explode....if its good mixed of course.

Curious fact of the day!
Did you know that: 

Her theme song is titled "Hiroari Shoots A Strange Bird ~ Till When?", named after a story in which a warrior named Hiroari slays a youkai known as the Nue. This is a pun on the storyline. The "strange bird" is a Nue, also called the "Itsumaden", since it makes this cry near unmourned corpses, meaning "How long (will this corpse remain unattended)?"
Judging from the story of Perfect Cherry Blossom, the heroine plays the role of Hiroari, Youmu is the Nue, and the corpse is probably Yuyuko Saigyouji. (See also Flandre Scarlet and Yukari Yakumo.)

Album: -TRINITY- Metal Side
Original: 平安のエイリアン (Heian Alien)

I have said it once, and I'll say it as many times It is needed to be said. 
"-TRINITY- Metal Side" is one of the best metal arranges albums that has ever existed on the Touhou scene.

Takumi is indeed a mad genius with a huge talent to create this arranges, when I herd this song I was astonished hearing all this evil power chords behind it. 
This song has all the pure evil metal heart that makes Nue pretty creepy. The guitars are sick, and they hear incredible well, even if some of them are synthesized. 

About Nue song, I think it this theme has been pretty overlooked due to the resemblance with "U.N Owen was Her?".
But to be honest, there is not only resamblances of "U.N Owen was her?", there is also some parts that sound very similar to "Hartmann Youkai Girl", "Suwa Foughten Field", "Nuclaer Fusion", and God knows how many others. 
The other time I was getting this song in my guitar, and I managed to make all of the songs mentioned above to fit with "Heian Alien". Then it came to me....

It is mot likely that ZUN made it with that propose. In Lunasa 166.6, I described what a the "Nue" creature was, and thinking it as a "chimerish" kind of character, I think ZUN decided to make her theme, a combination of some of the evil characters he has created. Yet, this is merely supposition of mine, cause ZUN does not mention anything of this in the music room description. 

Heian Alien is one beautiful song, full of loli evilness inside, and feeling again that sensation when I first herd "U.N Owen was her?", between fear and madness is something......nice.

Title: Compressed Power

Album: FAR EAST OF EAST
Circle: TatshMusicCircle
Original: 小さな小さな賢将 (A Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander)

Good thing no one ever dared to bet with me about the destiny of metal arrangers and "A Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander".
Since the demo of UFO, I knew this was going to be the jewel of most metal arrangers. I mean, the beginning starts with drop tuned guitars (I doubt ZUN was aware this, since as we all know, he uses keyboards), allowing to make sound those power chords with the power of thousand angry mouses. 

Beign the first song for a boss on UFO, the only thing you can await is for more and more epicness, since "A Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander" is without a doubt, one of the best songs in the entire soundtrack.

To be honest, I was waiting anxiously the arrange of CROW'SCLAW of this song, but since now Taka seems more focused into his solo career rather than making arranges of games, I was left all alone, waiting for someone to make justice.
Don't take me wrong, IRON ATTACK!'s arrange is godly (not to mention it was the first one), and I still hope IKUTO from South of Heaven grab his almighty 7 string guitar and make of this song sound more bad ass.

But I've never expected, that a newcomer in Touhou arranges made.....the incredible master piece of art that you are listening right now.
You remember Tatash right? (Lunasa 166.6), well turns out that most of this album is full of crunchy riffs. While it is not instrumental, and some things tend more to rock than metal, but this jewel is without a doubt, the best song of the album, and without a doubt again, it is probably one of the greatest arranges out there. 

Combining the progressive elements, and crunchy sounds from that guitar (actually, I still don't know if it is a synth or a real guitar), not to mention the master work behind the keyboards, make of this video, probably the one that describes the channel better. So you herd it, if you want to introduce someone to the channel, copy the link and paste it to him/she/it, since this song has all the meaning of "Progressive Metal" in it.

Without a doubt, one of the best songs it has been uploaded here.

Curious fact of the day! Did you know that?

"This is Kogasa Tatara's theme. Most people probably buy quite a few umbrellas over their lives.
You forget them on trains, and you buy vinyl umbrellas when you're caught in sudden rain.
Anyway, I wrote this song based on the image of a self-centered karakasa youkai
who gets depressed easily despite her cheery nature." ---- ZUN @ Touhou 12 Music Room

ZUN's descriptions are getting very weird, but I have to agree that what he composed it is perfect for this "bipolar" kind of image that Kogasa has.
While Kogasa theme is pretty cheery in some parts, there are others were ZUN takes it into a really mellow kind of tune.
This song is one of my favorites in all the UFO soundtrack, despite that is more or less equal to Nazrin theme. Actually, I think that UFO follows one clear melody in most of the songs, making it a soundtrack that fits entirely the game in terms of cinematic. Don't get me wrong, it's not that im saying that other games are just random songs in the game (although there are some boss themes that are weird to listen after the stage theme (Rin)), but I think that the soundtrack that most fits the environment of its game, its without a doubt, UFO soundtrack.

I hope you guys don't get bothered because I already uploaded a lot of songs from the same album.
But I have to agree this one is one of my favorites when it comes to touhou metal. The usage of the 7 string guiatar here is gorgeous, not to mention I like a lot when they add the Floyd Rose.

Well guys, enjoy it ^_^ and don't forget your umbrellas on public places because Tatara might get angry.

You guys know I'm not fond to synthed metal arranges unless they have an extreme sound quality such as Takase from Magnus Opus or Takumi Inohaya from Frontier Records handles.

S.S.H is a different kind of synth metal, or at least that's how I consider him. While the sounds of keyboards are obvious, he manages a level of composition beyond this world. I have always said that S.S.H has a guitarist soul trapped in a keyboardist body, because he always gives a lot of presence to the guitar, be it synthed or not. 

For instance, the late nazz-can from =NeutaL= (now NEUTRAL2), or the already famous dBu. They make metal arranges but they only use the guitar to back-up the rest of the synths, such as leads or strings. They are aware that guitar synth sounds are quite obious, so they decide to keep them on the back, making a great support job, but they never actually give the guitar shine on his own.

Don't take me wrong, I like nazz-can and dBu, but I'm just saying that S.S.H is a wonderful composer and arranger, who even knowing that guitar leads on his synth will not sound the best, he manages to compose something that hears like if it was first made with an original guitar, and then was synthed.

About Grave of Being, well I wanted to update an arrange of this song today. I'm dealing with multiple issues in my life. Being busy with apparently no time to do anything else (replying to PM's as fast as I can. I will reply to your wall of text soon Marcmaxi, as with everyone else who was written to me). Final tests start this monday, and I really feel like if it was the pre-song for a really, stressful, long and difficult last boss. This is it, the final stage.

Eternity is a nonexistent concept of this life, so is perfection and immortality.

While I was thinking what to write about this song, I decided to read all Kaguya's history.
To be honest, I think she has just become one of my favorite characters in Touhou. When you think ZUN has designed the most complex character (Yukari IMO), you found out that there are many other that has been designed with the same dedication to achieve the perfection. In case you are interested, go read the story behind Princess Kaguya while you listen to the song, I'm sure you will enjoy it:

http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Kaguya_Houraisan

Talking about the song. This one really surprised me. When IRON decided to announce the vocal album, I didn't get my hopes up. As much of we know, singer in the doujin dimension aren't that good, and most of the times they come to ruin the whole song (yes, I'm still an Anti-Fuki [Unlucky Morpheous] Elitist). When I listened to this album, the first thing I noted was that the vocals aren't bad, and I could stand them.

But aside from that, this is the song that surprised me. As much of you can hear, IRON is an avid fan of Yngwie Malmshteen and Stratovarious. He enjoys a lot of that speed neo classical metal and you can hear it in most of his songs. But this particular song, he went all into the Zakk Wylde style. This time, IRON decided to tune his guitar really low, and do that kind of bluesy-riffs with a pentatonic scale that one can't avoid to love.

The results were not what I expected, and to be honest I learned something valuable. Do nto expect miracles, and don't put yourself into so much trouble, if you are not sure the victory is yours.

But enough with that. I decided to celebrate my first night of vacations, and the update comeback with something I have been saving for, spring season. Wait did I just said spring season? Yes, actually this update was stored for the next year. We all know that the storyline of Perfect Cherry Blossoms starts when there isn't any signs of spring although it's already May.

Beign "妖々夢　～ Snow or Cherry Petal" the menu song for "Perfect Cherry Blossom", the idea was perfect.
But when I listened, I couldn't stand more the wait, and decided to use it once and for all.

Once again, it's SOUND HOLIC the circle behind this wonderful artist. Finally the full metal album from SOUND HOLIC we all have been waiting? Unfortunately not, this is just the intro of whole album, that does a decent job as "heavy rock", or at least that-s what SOUND HOLIC likes to call it. Most of the tracks nice vocals, and a pretty good jobs on the guitars, but don't expect things that goes extra virtuoso or extra heavy. It is a SOUND HOLIC project, with a bit of crunchy sound.

Overvall, its an incredible album. Even if it isn't the full metal we all wish from SOUND HOLIC, the guitars are outstanding, and 709sec shows that you only need a simple line of chords to make a great solo. Yes, the solos are great, and they will make your heart go all crazy. 

I'll consider to upload another track so you can hear what is really about, this song is the only one like that in the album. Pretty tricky huh? ;D

If you look in retrospective, this is the first arrange of a menu screen. Yes after 180 videos, I'm finally uploading an arrange of a menu screen. I have received some complaints, that I only use arranges of stages and bosses, and I under.rate the songs from credits, storyline and menu. But don't take me wrong, is just that, I'm more used to listen more songs from the stages (Who doesn't?). But anyway I'll try to upload more of this arranges, they are completely worth it.

すのうまん (yes, it's snowman written in hiragana) is one of those artist that everytime you hear him, you start to wish he build his own circle. 
Unfortunately, すのうまん it's still part of Riverside, and only God knows if they will ever let him out.

Anyway, he always does 2 or 3 tracks on the albums. This time he decided to go extremely progressive, and throw us an 8 minute arrange of Last Remote.

Aside from the clearly Dream Theater influence (and the cover of "Lines in the Sand" at 5 minute), the guitar is brutal, and the continuous tempo changes and rhythm structure makes justice to the wonderful song Last Remote is. A lot of artist have draw their attention to this song, and how not, considering it is one of the most dramatic stage song we have herd so far. You can feel all the tension and drama of the story line with that song.

It is a shame for the drum machine tho, to my taste the drums hear over processed, and I think more work could have done with the bass. I think it is an arrange meant to be like Dream Theater style. You can clearly hear that Snowman tried to recreate Mike Portnoy drums. But Dream Theater without a a Myung, sounds a bit empty, and thats like some parts of this arrange sound.
Aside from that, the arrange is brutal, and I still wish and pray that Snowman decides to make his own circle someday.

Getting a decent image of Sanae fighting Raymoo was quite hard. I made myself the idea that it was easy, since Reimu and Sanae are the rivals of Touhou by defacto. Of course this idea was totally wrong, and it took me nearly 2 hours to made up my mind. The image it is not one of the best, but makes justice to the progressive arrange. You can perfectly feel the hell of a battle it was to fight Sanae on the extra stage.

Thanks for watching.

For those shred fans, they have already noticed that this song it is not an ordinary arrange of Sakuya's theme.
It combines the song "Technical Difficulties" from the group Racer X, and combines it with Lunar Clock.

Don't ask me if there was a copyright infringement in here. I seriously doubt Silver Forest has paid the rights of "Technical Difficulties" for creating another song. But hey, I'm not paying the rights for uploading music, and this is how everyone lives a happy life!. Since last upload was also some kind of tribute to Dream Theater, I decided to play along and upload this one, a tribute to Paul Gilbert's gifts. 

The drum intro that you have herd by now, its gorgeous. I love them, and makes a perfect match to those from Racer X.
Of course, asking to NYO to match the same work of guitar as in the real song, but I love how he managed to capture the essence of both songs in one.

Now, don't ask me why he decided on "Technical Diffculties" for combining it with Sakuya's theme. Probably a very good matching between chords, or he was probably whistling the song and they came up with the idea of combining it with Lunar Clock. Probably the title is what made NYO came up with the idea. 

In EoSD, when you get to Sakuya, you know you have serious technical difficulties.

Original: アルティメットトゥルース (Ultimate Truth)

I consider Kokuyasu as one fo the best arrangers out there.
Not only he manages to arrange in his unique gothic metal style, no one else does it besides him.
But he also manages to do something amaising, that I'll proceed to explain.

Not every good arrange is replasable by the original song in the game.
What I mean with this is that, not because an arrange is good, it means you can play, and feel the tension and emotion you felt when you were listening to the original song and playing at the same time.

Well, Kokuyasu manages to create a cinematic athmosphere in every song he arranges. I can proudly say this song it is compltly replasable by the song on that last stage of PCB. From my point of view, this arrange totally blows my mind into the battle that you have againts Youmu before facing Yuyuko. I can even picture the scene on the big screen, Youmu and Yuyuko fighting the 3 heroines at the same time in order to reclaim Gensyoko's spring.

My feelings while imagining this and listening to the song, breaks any boundary on my mind, and that is what It makes Kokuyasu so special to me, even if his EQ is totally screwed up.

After you listen to this song, go and try to do the following experiment. 
Open your PCB game, mute the music behind it, and play Stage 6 while listening to this song.
Trust me, you will find the real Ultimate Truth.

Thanks for watching.

Title: もう歌しか聞こえない
Artist: IKUTO
Album: 東方鋼鉄夜
Circle: South of Heaven
Original: もう歌しか聞こえない (Deaf to all but the Song)

Ok, so double update today for those who want an extra taste of metal.
Long short story, it was originlly planned to be a normal update, using the 2nd song, but I found this awesome image and inspired me to also include the 1st song on the update. 

In this video, we have all the South of Heaven crew, Marl, keyboardist of some tracks, CASTER, and IKUTO, the leader of the circle. Besides the fact that I wanted to justify Wriggle appereance in this image, I also wanted to announce that IKUTO is back to bussines in the Touhou community. He recently announced on the website his release on the C77. Yes, thats right, another PC-98 arrange album, that im sure it will be as epic as the last one.

IKUTO, as the rest of the crew of South of Heaven are one of the best cricles that has dedicate to arrange on the doujin scene. They manage to blend great riffs to the song, without making it lost its originallity and magic that ZUN composed. Not to mention the crazy shred IKUTO adds to it, and the wonderful solo's he make. 
If it wasn't enough. IKUTO adds always the down tunning beast with his 7 string guitar, making it of one of the heaviest, but enjoyable metal there is. 

Talking about the songs respectly, I don't understand how is that much people like "Deaf to all but the Song". Such is the same with "Ghostly Eyes". It is not that I don't like them, but I have seen many comments saying its their favorite songs in all Imperishable Night. I have other favorites, each one has its opinion, but as usual it happens to all of us, once we hear a good arrange we start to love the original song. The riffs of IKUTO on "Deaf to all but the Song" is what inspired me to upload it in the first place, I wanted to share wiith you all the pwoer of that 7 string guitar we are hearing.

I like how this video turned out a lot, just add a couple of "stadium" Special Effects and you will have an idea of how a South of Heaven should sound. Trust me, this is one of my prayers every night, to assist into some sort of Metal Fest held down by every metal arranger of Touhou.

But while that happen, let us all be deaf, but to this great songs. 
Thanks for watching, and enjoy the concert!

Title: God of Misery

Album: 風の音塊 ～道中編～
Original: 人恋し神様　～ Romantic Fall (A God That Misses People ~ Romantic Fall)

Shizuha Aki and Minoriko Aki have suffered the fate of beign the most un-popular characters in all the Touhou Universe. 
Soon or later a character had to be the least popular, with so many characters around it would be impossible to make everyone likes every character.

And to be honest, I am one of those who does overlook this two youkais.
I don't know why. It is not the fact they are the mid and first stage boss. I mean, take for example other characters as Rumia, Letty or Wriggle. They are all first stage bosses, but all of them have different reasons (jokes or serious concepts) to out stand in ZUN's wonderland. It's probably the design of the characters? Not the concept behind them, the clothes design its pretty common? The colors aren't outstanding at all I think,orange and yellow are not my favorite colors, and besides that...make her both look almost identical its pretty confusing. Another hair color would have fixed some things. After all, Touhou knows THE blonde, that is Yukari.

But anyway, once you go deeper into the concept, you see that they are have a pretty nice concept.
Since I don't want to rip the website off, I prefer to advertise my reference when it comes o Touhou storylines, characters, places and etc. 

http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Shizuha_Aki
http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Minoriko_Aki

Aside from the shameless promotion I have just made, the song its outstanding.
From quite sometime I wanted to upload Romantic Fall, it suffers the same fate as other 1st stages themes that gets under-rated. 
I like it a lot, since it fits perfectly with the Autumn scenery there is in the stage. It justifies perfect the presence of the sunset, and the calm progressions after the trhumpets its something I enoyed a lot. About the arrange, there is nothing much to comment. Just listen to those wonderful progressions.

"This is the fourth stage theme.

I tried not to make it too one-sidedly Japanese.
The Palace of the Earth Spirits is surprisingly Western. The people
who live there are probably fancy, too.
But, it's a cat house. I want to be tamed by the cat. " --- ZUN at SA Music Room 

What wrong with ZUN's comment? o.O
Anyway, does your heart feels fancy every time you listen to IRON ?
Yeah, I thought so. Same thing happens to me and that's the reason of this update.

Aside from the speed metal technique IRON manages on his guitar, his ability to compose his own song over the arrange is impressive. I have said it many times already, thats what I like of IRON ATTACK! They are not just simple covers in a metal genre, they are deep arranges that has a lot of creativity behind them.

Not to mention his talent for the solos, I enjoy the solos among all of IRON's work. Those bends makes my heart get all pumped up, and the harmony he creates with the rest of the song is outstanding.

Heartfelt Fancy, it will be graved in my memory as one of the most impressive songs I ever herd on a ZUN game, not to mention the most fitting to the enviroment.
I mean, you enter to an underworld church full with organs and a blac X red pattern?
It remembers me how my Heart Felt Fancy when I first herd it.

It doesn't matter if it is a sad Christmas or a happy Christmas, wether you are spending with family, friends, or simply with your own soul.
What it matters is that, in any occasion, we cannot betray our thoughts or sold our faith to anything or anyone, because in the end, there will be one person sitting next to us, and that will be, ourselfs.

I have always said we born alone, we grow alone, and we die alone, but after some years I begging to understand that we will never be, aside from friends or family (that eventually, they will leave one day) I'll always have myself.

This Christmas I don't want to bring a world wide message peace (I haven't done it my whole life anyway). This time I want to say a message for everyone conflicted with one person. You, and you only. Let us have peace with ourselves in this Christmas, because if we want to give peace, first we have to forgive ourselves from whatever we regret, love ourselves and learn to forgive us to carry one with our life. 

Let us then forgive, of all the things we have said that are unforgiven, and have a peaceful silent night so we can rest our souls at least, once.

Merry Christmas to all of you, happy holidays for those who does not celebrate xmas precisely. I wish you the best to all, and thanks for this wonderful comments of you. Thanks for all those who have supported, even if it is with one comment. Thanks to Myon for accepting our offer when it came the Tehcno channel. KakashiMr, thanks a lot, I don't even have words to describe how much I owe you.

Title: 感情の摩天楼 ～ Cosmic Mind
Artist/Circle: 彩音 ～xi-on～
Album: 東方志奏 4th Spell -Gust of Wind-
Original: 感情の摩天楼　〜 Cosmic Mind (Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind)

There is no fucking place like home.
So last time I updated this I was under the oath that I was going to return the 1st day of the 2010 with a bunch of an epic load.

Before I say anything else, allow me to clarify the following, much people have asked me what I am going to feature from the 191 to the 200 videos. So it's rather obvious that I already started with C77 stuff, but let me put it in the following sentence. 
YOU WILL NOT FORGET THE UPCOMING VIDEOS.

That-s right people, you don't have idea how much uber epic stuff has arrived to my computer, that I don't know even were to start. Mark my words, and mark them good. This uploads will be the definitive collection of Lunasa channel. So, you better have an ambulance near your home, because each of this videos will cause you a heart attack.

But for now, let us stop talking about the incredible future it awaits for us, and talk about the gorgeous present we are listening to know. Starting the year with another great masterpiece that xi-on has brought us again.

For many on this channel, the first attempt to please metal prog rock fans with an arrange of Cosmic Mind was not very good. 
Much people thought Takumi's effort was a bit rushed, and a bit lame for the standards of quality on this channel.

So now I want to redem myself with the mistake commited on the past, uploading a masterpiece by xi-on.
Since their first album, "東方志奏 1st Spell -Airstream-", everyone was very pleased with their talents arrangeging songs. We had to wait a very long time till xi-on decided to do a second effort. Since then, their albums has been very frequent, something that I keep thanking everytime I go to bed.

What it most impressed the first time in xi-on was 2 things. The combination of metal with techno, using low tunned riffs as a ciclic beat while a impressive leads guitar takes all the way. And the second thing was the "Feeling" on that lead guitar and solos. Now, I'm not going to mess around with the "feeling" topic, since it can create a very large discussion between guitarists and other musicians, but what I am going to say is that xi-on lead guitar makes me feel what no other Touhou arranger does (beside Taka (duh), and Godspeed. But this last one is so absent that I cannot even count him). Those impressive bends, and the way the guitar blends the original song with the unique created one makes my stomach feels like an airport, and it has ripped my tears numerous times.

This song was no exception. By some reason I don't understand Cosmic Mind is a song that appears to fit pretty well in the techno genre. And if we wanted to listen a very good arrange of Cosmic Mind, with an electronic element, and a bucnh of crunchy riffs backing up, xi-on was the best for the task.

Something that still diggs my mind is....who is xi-on? Is it a studio? Is it a circle? or is it one artist behind all this incredible music we hear? The website does not gives much information about it, not to mention there is no absolute word of what gear they/he/she/it uses.

With so many emotions to feel, but such elusive words that can describe them, I wish you each and everyone of you the best of the years. Let's start the 2010 like no other year before. 
Prepare for what awaits you guys, there is no fucking words to describe the next 10 videos.

Thanks for watching.

Title: 霊知の太陽信仰　～ Nuclear Fusion
Artist/Circle: Demetori
Album: 曼衍珠汝華 ～ Nada Upasana Pundarika
Original: 霊知の太陽信仰　～ Nuclear Fusion (Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion) 

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the best arrange of Nuclear Fusion it has ever been done.

The most awaited release from the C77 is here.
Demetori, after 1 year releases another album, with a little change this time.
Tokunan, guitarist/bassist and keyboardist of Demetori, does not only pursues the speed in it's technique.
This time he also joined the low tuning race, by adding an 8 string guitar along with a 5 string bass as the main riffs.

Since the very first album, everyone just fell in love with the circle. The idea of making speed and epic metal out of Touhou songs was a splendid idea, but it couldn't be even close to easy. Their impressive technique and ability to compose was, and it keeps being impressive. Not to mention that you can hear how much care they put into every song, trying to compose over the song, but without taking the esccense of the song. And I am not even going to mention the shred ability, that I'm sure it has impressed a huge number of people. Each releases, the circle demonstrates how they keep growing as musicians, with far more complex ideas than what the past release.
I can say now, that Demetori is one of the very best circles, that is, if its not the best.

I cannot even describe the feelings inside of me when I herd this song. It is simply one of the most impressive songs I have ever herd in my life, the sound, the composition, the lead guitar, the main riff, the drums. Everything it is just perfect from my point of view, and I think this is the arrange that manages to captures all what "nuclear energy" means.

Not to mention that you can perfectly imagine the battle between Marisa/Reimu and Utsuho Reiuji, deep down on the center of the earth, a living hell full of agony and desperation trying to save Gensyoko from the experiment between science and faith.

There isn't any word, any sentence, or any expression that can really describe this arrange.

Let us all be part of the Nuclear Fusion, once and for all.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Miss Understanding
Artist/Circle: IRON ATTACK!
Album: Miss Understanding
Original: 少女が見た日本の原風景 (The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl Saw)

For this channel, IRON ATTACK! its one of the most representatives bands among of those who arrange Touhou music. 
The main leader of the circle it's called IRON~!, and as you can guess its the main guitarist. 
The story behind IRON ATTACK! on their website it is obviously in Japanese, and Google Translate does not help either. 
The only facts I know is that although IRON ATTACK! is a doujin band, they are promoted by Fender Japan (huge company of guitars for those who aren't aware), and they always get the support of JacksonStars (a division of Jackson, dedicate to promote some of the artist endorsed by Jackson, another guitar company). 

It isn't a surprise, IRON's ability to play the guitar is impressive, dominating the most complex techniques, at a really high speed, and creating solos that will make your heart all fuzzy.
The other difference with other doujin bands, is that it is actually a band. Normally, CROW'SCLAW is most of the time only one member, or as in the previously video was mentioned, Demetori is 2 members only.

With all this fact to light, it is not a surprise that where there is Touhou convention event, whatever it is, IRON ATTACK! is present.
Wether it is with a new album, or a live performance, IRON ATTACK! its one of those circles that grow's every time they release new material. Everything improves, the quality of the arranges, the equalization, the solos, etc.
IRON ATTACK! does not let get away any track to arrange, and if a new game gets released, be sure that the first metal arrange will be from this circle.

The Comicket 77 was not the exception, and they decided to leave the vocal project for once, and start doing instrumental arranges once again. This time, Sanae it's the topic of this album, arranging most of the tracks that are representative for her persona. "The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl Saw" is a song that has never been featured on the channel, and I figured out it was the best track from the whole album.

I have said many times that IRON ATTACK does not only manages to cover the songs in metal. They also make the balance between a cover and a original song from them, making a perfect balance for the arrange. I liked this song a lot because I think it fits pretty well the battle between Reimu and Sanae in the middle of the stage. Stage 5 in Mountain of Faith its one of those that you can never forget. With that Japanese feeling in the song, that beautiful art in the background, and Sanae is something fans felt in love since the first time. 

I consider this was the intention of IRON ATTACK when they were planning to arrange the song, and this is the way I find to justify the incredible guitar solo at the middle of the song, trying to revive the rivality between the 2 shrine maidens.

IRON managed again to get the best of this track, and I hope most of you enjoy it.

Thanks for watching.

Title: キャプテン・ムラサ
Album: the Splendid World - スバラシイセカイ
Artist: UI-70
Original: キャプテン・ムラサ

After thinking for way too long, I concluded this was the best track out of the new UI-70 album.

For most of us, UI-70 makes us remember what was to listen metal arrangers of Touhou for the first time.
My first tracks I ever herd, back on the days were I only knew the name of "U.N Owen was her?" were made by UI-70, and I always remember of that sensation each time I listen to them.

So let's talk about who is this circle anyway.
UI-70 are two members, Majinn and Nyohi, and they both compose the music, play it, and mix it. For some albums, they were aided by Tokunan, from Demetori. Although he is not listed as part of the circle, albums like "Vaguely Dreams of Scarlet Fullmoon" and "Deadly Dancing Butterfly" were totally aided by Tokunan. The same way, UI-70 list participation in albums from Demetori, such as "Sinen". 

I guess Tokunan spotted the wonderful technique this duo has to play, and to arrange. Tracks like China's arrange (Lunasa #87) are beyond this world, and just leaves all who play the guitar, in a great egoless state. 

I suppose that by work reasons (and of course, I understand UI-70 wanted to take their independence), Tokunan stopped aiding UI-70. Along with that change, UI-70 started to release a whole different releases from what they original had. 
A serious of change that I certainly, didn't liked, and I'm quite positive a lot of people thinks the same way I do. 
Don't get me wrong, the Latin Jazz album, "Spreading Full Colors" (last work with Demetori I think) is a masterpiece. But the rest of the stuff, such as that techno album seemed out of place. 

With a Latin Jazz album, and next a techno album, no one didn't knew what to expect from UI-70 on the upcomming events.
I remember making a joke, telling people that the next UI-70 album was a "Mariachi Touhou Arrange" album, and the most funny of all is that some people believed it. 

After the techno album, they released a re-recorded version of the album Dist, called Dist+. that included one more track. Here is when UI-70 made a great change on their equipment, and they started to record with either a baritone or a 8 string guitar, making it sound way more heavier than it was. 

For the next releases, it was a big letdown for me, since I didn't felt UI-70 was the same. "if" album, brought us a mix between techno tracks, and metal tracks (not to be confused with metal combined with techno), and to be honest, this one didn't had something that the other material had. The album "the gift" was one big letdowns. It was again a strange mix of metal tracks with techno tracks. An acoustic version with Tokunan as a guest, and some metal tracks that herd, like unfinished versions. "Reincarnation" wasn't that bad, but I was very dissapointed when I herd that "Nuclear Fusion" was made with keyboards, and not real instruments. 

After nearly 2 years, I start to listen again some of the old UI-70.
Their new album, "the Splendid World" is a total metal album, with some of the most low tuning guitars I have ever herd in my life. Some of the metal is labeled as "Stoner Metal" (more reference, please use wikipedia), so there are some tracks that enjoy this blues feeling. Look like although UI-70 is back at the headbang street, their taste for experiment other kinds of music is still not satisfied.

Don't take me wrong, experimenting in other genres is something healthy, if it isn't something obligatory for every musician, even the most professional ones. But at some point, you have to ask what are the costs of that experiments.

I'm anxious already to know what UI-70 has planned for the next event, since I'm pretty happy with this "full metal" album, and I think this can be their great comeback, and even if they don't return for doing metal, UI-70 will always be remembered as my first experience with metal arranges.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Layzer Scream
Artist: Tatsh
Circle: TatshMusicCircle
Album: FAR EAST OF EAST II
Original: 虎柄の毘沙門天 (The Tiger-Patterned Bishamonten) 

Tatsh first was herd on this channel here with an incredible metal arrange of Nue's theme.
A metal arrange incorporating elements of industrial techno, and pop genre, something that the japanese culture is very fond to.

Who would guess anyway, that Tatsh would also be the man behind incredible metal arranges that stand for all what "metal progressive rock" means. With a very decent work behind the EQ, and those crunchy guitars, Tatsh didn't left the recent Comicket without a notice, and decided to pull the second part of his album "FAR EAST OF EAST", simply calling it "FAR EAST OF EAST II". 

I don't know exactly were those Tatsh comes, someone with more knowledge about him can comment were he comes from, but something that was mentioned the last time I uploaded a song of his, was that he has done work for some popular dance games, with some techno/pop songs as it is used on that kind of entretainment. This just proofs how talented Tatsh is, and how versatile is his music to the point of creating this song we are just listening to.

I have commented before that when I first heard Nazrin theme, I was sure it was going to be one of the favorite for metal arranges, since it had all what it needed to just plug your guitar, and make those power chords sound.
Well same thing happened to me when I first herd the Obi Wan Toramaru theme.

At first this theme can sound a bit odd. The strange intro, giving priority to the low frequencies, and with a strange harmony may even sound a little creepy at first. But as the song continues, it keeps growing, making it what it will appear to be a cheerful song, and all of the sudden you found again on the creepy section with the full ZUN orchestra (thrumpets, piano's, guitars) at your back. 
I guess it is important to ZUN make the music fit in it's game. Of course, not every song in it can have the same tension and the same tone, because then it would be repetitive, and really boring at short time. But let me tell you something. I believe "The Tiger-Patterned Bishamonten" is probably one of the best theme for a battle it has been ever composed on all the Touhou franchise.

At least for me, Shou always represent a challenge. Her stage is just like warping to a George Lucas film, and she is just like the living Death Star, shooting lazers werever you move, making your eyes ask for a little recces. This, accompanied with the incredible song, that keeps growing the tension in it, makes of "The Tiger-Patterned Bishamonten" one of my favorite themes. 
The scene it deserves an Oscar, such as this arrange.

Thanks for watching.

Album: Original Intention
Original: 幻視の夜　～ Ghostly Eyes (Illusionary Night ~ Ghostly Eyes)

Zakk's Wylde and BLS hardcore fan, the Heineken guitarist that made the world of Touhou music give a twist, the scientist behind the sound, our man, the leader of CROW'SCLAW, Taka.

Words aren't enough to describe the music that Taka creates. Having everything in order, the perfect riffs, and solos that are going to make your heart all squishy. 

It is clear that talent does not only comes when grabbing a guitar. The talent also comes twisting every knob, arrangeging all a room so you can get the perfect sound you are chasing. That perfect distortion that will make the audience scream of it's "gorgeounes". Taka is indeed the master, the professor when it comes to Sound Science. Spending a huge amount of time at his amps searching for that perfect distortion that drives out mad.

Then it comes the edition progress, the mixing were only someone with his talent can manage make every instrument sound in perfect position, with the perfect volume so you can hear everything, without one thing disturbing the other.
And please note that I haven't even talked about Taka's talent for composing stuff, that as you can hear is huge.

So, this time he decided to release an album called "Original Intention", witch are re-recorded versions, in a new studio, with new equipment of some of his favorite songs. From what I can understand on the booklet, "supply", a keyboardist that has always been on the Touhou scene helped him to do some of the keyboards. And it is clearly, there is some serious work on those, along with the guitars. Everything sounds more cleaner than the older version, but cleaner doesn't mean "un-agressive" or "un-powerful". This is clearly what "Eclipced" demonstrates, the song is more clean, you can hear now every intrument, and the songs sounds even more aggressive than the previous song.

Clearly Taka is my favorite guitarist, of all out there. People surprises when I told them this, but the truth is that his talent goes beyond this world. CROW'SCLAW is without a doubt, one of the "must-listen" when it comes to Touhou metal.
And I'm sure that one of these days CROW'SCLAW will be a "must" of the metal scene.

From now and to the end, I thank you Taka, for all the incredible things that your music lead me to discover.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Sinergy
Artist: すのうまん
Circle: Riverside
Album: Gran Sphere 
Original: 少女さとり　～ 3rd eye (Satori Maiden ~ 3rd eye) 

Before I start with the comment, yes It is "Gran" without a "d".
"Engrish" keeps invading the world, good that I already talk in that language.

Anyway, God knows how many references, and cameos Snowman does this time.
Why does this time? Well, let's begin with the story of Snowman.

"Riverside" is one of those mixed circles that produces all kind of arranges. Let it be pop, tehcno, and even some folk.
But anyway, they have always a spot saved for a crazy guitarist called Riverside. Since the first time I heard him, what caught my biggest attention was his incredible technique. Sweep picking, tapping, clean notes, perfect bends, speed of light. What technique you want? Name it, and Snowman should do it for you.

As more songs made by Snowman kept popping out, I started to notice something else. 
You see, it is no wonder why he has such a technique, and what does Snowman is aiming at. I can name many, but surely John Petrucci (and the whole Dream Theater crew) and Kiko Loureiro (Angra) are one of his biggest influences, that is if they aren't the top ones. 

So Snowman always take pieces of songs from this artist, and copy them the best he cans, to develop around a Touhou arrange. Pretty smart huh? And pretty difficult too I bet. For instance, let us take a song of Dream Theater. You name it, how about..."The Root of All Evil". Now analyze what instrument is doing what on that mindmelting band, and then develop another composition adding parts of Touhou songs.

It is impossible, but sometimes, impossible it is just possible.
So, back to the beginning, in this song I can clearly listen to references to Dream Theater. I can't name exactly the song, but I'm sure of it. Also, the sweep picking of Angra's "Carry On" is quite obvious. I challenge you to found it.

What I liked a lot of this album, is that Snowman does half of it. I guess Riverside understands that Snowman is a very big important artist for them. Still, I would love to listen Snowman in an own independent circle. Who knows, maybe he can even fix that mixing and EQ problem that is quite obvious in here.

I think this is the best song of the album, Snowman sure makes justice to what arrange means. He develops a whole new idea of Satori's theme, that fits perfect for the battle against her, my only doubt is, what the fuck he was thinking with that "neo-classical-jazzy" improvisation at the middle of the song? God knows, it is progressive metal rock baby, and time ago I decided that analyze it, can be the work of a lifetime.

Snowman is without a doubt, one pillar of this channel, and as long as this channel remains, Snowman will be always welcome to all the western ears. 

Thanks for watching.

Title: Complete Darkness
Artist: IKUTO & CASTER
Circle: South of Heaven
Album: 東方鋼鉄魔
Original: Complete Darkness

First of all, I want to say I did not uploaded this because of being the best track on the album.
I know some of you have awaited this day, so here is for all of you, Complete Darkness.

Before we go in detail in the song, let's take a brief moment to talk about "South of Heaven", the heavy metal circle we love so much, and to this very day, we are still waiting for that day....I'll explain it in detail.

Somewhere around 2 years ago (wow, time sure goes fast), on a not very highlight event, a new circle popped out.
Thanks to Funkies, I was able to listen to that album.
Wow, remember what was for the first time listening IKUTO's guitar is sure nostalgic. For the first time in my life, I was listening to a full volume 7 string guitar. Because IKUTO's business was all about the 7, the masterpiece of a number, the 7 step to heaven, the 7 string of his guitar.

IKUTO made it into my heart since the very first song, those agressive riffs and solid base line made me fell in love of the instrument by itself. At first, I wasn't aware that IKUTO was playing with a 7 string, In that moment I wasn't even aware of all the guitar aspects, but as soon as I began my research, I was able to find that IKUTO was not normal guitarist.

Not only for that of course, the crazy amounts of shred he can create, and even imitate (Enfermo?), the impressive varieties he gives to one song, and the multi genre he handles left us clear that South of Heaven was in Gensyoko, with serious business. It didn't even took to listen the album, just by looking at the cover, a sexy Touhou girl handling a 7 string red guitar was enough to convince you about the impressive concept.

As any other human (except Taka cause he is God), IKUTO had one minor problem to his arranges. The drums are...somewhat loud, but to this very day, IKUTO hasn't changed the mix, except in one album, but that has already been discussed in previous uploads.

Anyway, what circle would be complete without its collaborations from other members. During some time, and I mean SOME time (in Touhou time that is), IKUTO was absent of the Touhou scene, and he left the other 2 members to take care of Gensyoko wonderland. That was CASTER, another guitarist, and Marl a keyboardist. They released a couple of albums featuring the entire soundtrack of a game re-arranged, but it was never, like IKUTO's solo albums. Specially the last one, that to this very day, it belong to my top 10 favorite albums in the metal genre.

When I heard about this album coming out, I thought it was the comeback of IKUTO, another PC-98 album to conclude his absence on the Touhou scene. Later, we found out that, it quite wasn't IKUTO alone. CASTER was with him, and I see no credits of Marl on the booklet whatsoever, but I'm positive he/she is in there.

Once again, IKUTO lost the battle, again the drums. It has been nearly 2 years doing the same, and my only conclusion to this day is that he likes it how they sound. Loud drums is clearly one of the factors when it comes to heavy metal, and after all, its his mother fucking project, and he can do whatever he pleases too.

So, today, South of Heaven fans are still waiting for IKUTO's big comeback, such as Touhou fans are still waiting for Mima's comeback. It is clearly that ZUN will not bring Mima back, and let us hope for metal sake, that it isn't the destiny of the 7 string God.

But for now, we have a promise fulfilled, Complete Darkness, in the Metal Progressive Touhou channel.

Thanks for watching.

Title: ヴォヤージュ1970
Artist: 高瀬 (Takase)
Album: 東方幻朧悠月抄 ～ Imperishable sin and millennium history ～ 
Circle: まぐなむ お～ぱす
Original: ヴォヤージュ1970 (Voyage 1970) 
Website: http://homepage1.nifty.com/TAKA-S/

Takase was one of the very first arrangers I knew back when I was barely discovering what mysteries and miracles were on ZUN's Wonderland.
Back then, I barely knew what kinds of genres there was when it came to Touhou songs, so imagine what was my surprise to find someone that could combine both of my favorite things, Touhou Music and Metal Progressive Rock.

Without any doubt, it is Takase who stands for the name of this play list I have been sharing with you. His work is sure to be labeled as "Touhou Metal Progressive Rock". 

With influences like Dream Theater, Symphony X, and Opeth (just to name some), this arranger does not leave any spot uncovered. Every instrument you may hear, has a delicate work behind it, that im sure has took hours and dedication to pull every instrument like that.
You can listen perfectly to the drums for instance, or the bass. Everytime you listen to this song, try to put attention to a different instrument, and you will notice you will obtain a whole different perspective.

The name of his circle describes it all "Magnum Opus". It is simple the grand work of a musician that cannot be explained by words, but only felt with the heart. Every album done by Takase, feels like his grand master piece, but he keeps making songs and albums that keeps making every recent work feels more epic, and more grand than the past one.

Now, Takase bring us the album that concludes the Windows Touhou Trilogy, an album that arranges every song in "Imperishable Night" following the same genre under the line, "Metal Progressive Rock". The album is probably one of my favorites by now, and I most accept choosing a song was really difficult, since all the album can be considered as one only song that goes beyond the 70 minutes. So what can I say? Virtuoso at last.

Takase is sure one of the pillars of this channel, and I hope this community remains, so we can admire how every grand songs, goes behind a Magnum Opus.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Master of Puppets
Artist: 刹那 (Kokoyasu)
Cricle: 黒夜葬
Album: ∵Ga[Я]deN∵
Original: ブクレシュティの人形師 (The Doll Maker of Bucuresti)
Website: http://kokuyasou.verse.jp/index.html

Alice theme is what gave life to this channel, you remember the 1st video right?
Well, in order to continue with the "saga" (if there it exist something like that), I figured out to continue with an Alice song, although as you can see, its not her theme.

Alice stage theme (or Stage 3 song, as you may prefer) it's one of the most exciting songs that adds a sensation of frustration and stress to a stage. ZUN's comments about this song can help here a little bit:

"The Doll Maker of Bucuresti
Stage 3 theme. This makes you wonder if you're near the end
of the game. This is because the demo was released very early
and I had to make it a complete game. Due to that, I put the
first pivotal moment in stage 3. The mood is more serious than
usual too. However, the song's similar to what I used to be.
It might be just me, but this song gives a nostalgic feeling."

Perfect Cherry Blossom it's full of "pivotal" (that is a weird translation) moments. Every stage song is simply fantastic, and to the opinion of this humble user, PCB has the award of the best stage songs, matching the environment of the story and the game with them creating the perfect ambient that Perfect Cherry Blossom has. 

Now, I don't know if it's me, but I always thought "The Doll Maker of Buccaresti" its ZUN's tribute to Mike Oldfield, composer of "Tubular Bells", that later was made famous for beign used as "The Exorcist" theme. Don't know what I'm talking about? Don't worry, go watch the next video (don't worry, no scary images or scenes whatsoever):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYmIKcP7Nbc&feature=related

Mike Oldfield is sure a talented musician, one that I consider being part of what today is known as "Progressive Rock". His music has always set the atmosphere for whatever the environment is, and I'm pretty sure most of video games musicians respect him for that. ZUN isn't the exception I think.

It is just probably a merely coincidence, but combining a song made famous for being The Exorcist theme, with a puppeteer/magician girl it's perfect. Some people consider Alice as being just another youkai, that can't help to hide her feelings for Marisa, but I consider her further than that. As a dark character, a troubled soul with many mysteries around (yes, I'm talking about Shinki) who's power way more destructive than the people of Gensyoko thinks. 

Of course, with all of this arguments, there is no doubt why Kokuyasu, the metal-gothic arranger has made the best arrange for the stage, setting the dark environment for the master of puppets. The one that pulls the strings, twist our minds and smash our dreams.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Gorgeous Guardian
Artist: minami
Album: 東方JeuXinTerdiTs
Circle: IOSYS
Original: 上海紅茶館　～ Chinese Tea

By popular demand, I decided to go a little bit further with this album than what I originally have planned. 
My inbox (Macmaxi, your PM's are for the Guinnes Records, believe it or not, I'm still writing the first response every time I can) got quite jammed asking why I haven't uploaded anything of this album. (and yes! I read PM's even if I don't answer them! I'm so ashamed seriously).

Well, the reason is because I didn't consider it metal, I think this arrange more of a hard rockish kind of thing than metal. But once again, by popular demand I decided to listen to it once again, and pick out what I consider the best track. 

But before going there, let's talk about the album first, since I'm sure the word IOSYS has once again made a stomp on your face. As many of you know, there are a few jewels (precious ones, and uploaded here of course) in the metal/rock scene that IOSYS publish. Who of you guys can't remember that Necrofantasia "a la Yngiwe", or the NUCLEAR SYMPHONY, just to name some? (Of course, this is a great opportunity to revive your feeling for Lunasa #1) 

Anyway, only God knows what IOSYS plans for the upcoming album. It can be from a total punchi-punchi joke stuff I hate to a master piece. This time looks like they decided to do a full "metal" album, giving "minami" and unknown shredder for me until this time its own release. 

The arranges are based on the popular ZUN's songs, namely "U.N Owen was her?" and "Border of Life". 
The album is not bad, the recording quality is excellent, not to mention you wont have troubles with any instrument being way too loud (most of doujin projects lack on a perfect mixing, right IKUTO?). The unique I found out of my taste in this albums are the style of the drums. 

The guitar work is impressive, and trust me, the "U.N Owen was her?" arrange starts with the original intro I have herd for this song, but the drums have a pattern I totally dislike. I don't know how to express it, my knowledge on drums is very little, but is that classical pattern used on Ska genre. With those kind of drums, the albums feels a little bit more hard rockish than a real headbanger, but we have to agree that has all the potential.

So why this song? The solo is beautiful, and I found its the most arranged track of all the songs, instead of being just a rockish cover. The intro riff, I love it, and well...it is China! How can you not fell in love of her?

Well, I was actually planning to talk about how deep my fantasies go with the Scarlet Devil Mansion guardian and how much I'm addicted to redheads, but I guess its far more interesting and enjoyable, not to mention mature, to talk about minami talents. And for some reason, that totally herd so wrong.

Enjoy China!

Today, in many countries in the world, the people celerates what it is called "Valentine's Day", or the "Friendhsip and Love Day". We know that this day was created entirely for business purposes, so neither Myon, KakashiMr and me won't let pass the chance to promote ourselves once again.

No, but seriously, whether if you are sitting alone in your house, or you are about to celebrate with your boyfreind/girlfreind/alien, we want you to celebrate you a very good Valentine's day, and please do not I said good instead of happy.

For me, I really cherish my friendship. Thanks to them I have been able to sweep away many difficult moments in my life, not to mention that with their experience and hints, they allowed me to grow up, and understand better in what world I live.
Beign myself my worst enemy, friends always help me to chill down and show me how im totally wrong about something I consider, and sharing the things I most like is something priceless, just like I am doing it know.

About love....Let's remember that love doesn't specify to love someone. What I want to get here is that I'm indeed in love of many things in my life, such as music, mathematics, my guitar, or this channel, just to name some. Love is that thing that keeps us bounded for hours with an infinite "passion" to what we are doing. It is that feeling that makes you say "doesn't matter if I am not going to sleep". Love is that thing that ties you your own self, and allows you to discover more who you are.

Although I don't personally celebrate this festivity, it seems like a great opportunity so we can all learn to be friends with our own self, and to learn to love and respect us.

Thanks to all of you guys, for listening to their feelings and write down the love you feel for music.
Thanks to all the support, and I wish you the very best Valentine's day of your life.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Kissing the Tears
Artist: Bach
Circle: THOUSAND LEAVES
Album: Blind Night Sorrow
Original: ハートフェルトファンシー (Heartfelt Fancy)


So how was your Valentine's day?
If your heart were broken, this is the place to heal it.

Anyway, I'm going to be honest here and say that, when I first listen to the this album, it didn't surpised me.
I have to accept that I have a very high standard of quality in composition and sound of the arrange.
That's why sometimes, I might be to picky in what I hear and what do I not, and therefore on what I upload and what I don't (once again, this is the reason why you won't find many keyboard arranges on this channel).

I received a couple of PM's asking to upload some of this album, so I decided to re-listening and, wow what a surprise.
First things first. The album is a combination of melodic death metal (is that what you guys call it these days?) and speed metal. Let's say that half of the album is under the death metal genre (with all the screaming voices I dislike in any kind of metal) and the other half is under the speed metal genre.

I despite growling lyrics (no kidding), and I am not very fond to death metal, so I decided to stick with the instrumental speed metal ones. 
All of this album was made by 1 member, that goes under the user name "Bach" and, let's be honest, you need a lot of guts and confidence to call yourself like that. Bach, is certainly one crazy shredder that loves speed metal and progressive rock, not to mention I really like the crecendo on this track, and the solo is a living beast. 

Despite of the plain sounds of keyboards at the beggining, the guitar work is really good. I really enjoyed the distortion used, not to mention the main riff is killer, and fits perfectly with the "Heartfelt Fancy" mood. Another thing worth to mention is that the drum work is really great. The pattern on it is very well done, giving the rhythm guitar all the accents it needs, and the EQ is also very good. All the album may be enjoyed without making your ears blow in the process (I'm not going to stop bother IKUTO till he decides to change that horrible EQ). 

About the composition work, here is were things turn out quite interesting. Since "Heartfelt Fancy" was listened by the first doujin musicians, playing trough the hell's church and listening to those pipe organs, everyone felt in love of it. I wasn't an exception, I have said many times, that "Heartfelt Fancy" may be one of my Top 10 touhou songs. 
Of course, many arranges started to be released, and we you can name a few that has been featured in here.
However, I think this arrange manages to capture all the essence of the song. If I had to pick one metal song to be used instead of the original song when playing the game, this should be the winner, capturing all the melancholy and sorrow the song has, not to mention the speedy rhythm pairs perfect with the adrenalin you need for this level.

Anyway, I said that first things were going first, but so far I haven't talked about the circle itself. So who is THOUSAND LEAVES, and who else is member of it? Why it reminds you a lot to IRON ATTACK? 
This questions will be answered, most likely, in the next video.

The analogy of the day! 
Hearts are like a porcelain figure. Once they fall, they broke. As long as you can gather all the pieces, you may put it back together with some blue, but the traces that it was broken, will be be there...forever.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Super Mon-Petit
Artist: 川瀬 / Bach
Album: Daydream
Circle: THOUSAND LEAVES
Original: ティアオイエツォン (withered leaf) [Diao ye zong (Withered Leaf)]

*while eating in front of the computer*
First of all, thousand apologies to everyone for this huge delay that has been. 

So, let us start with our bussines, and continue with the huge mystery that was left on the other video.
What was it? Can you rememeber? Oh yeah right, who is THOUSAND LEAVES, and why it sounds so familiar *cough IRON! *cough*.

169 videos ago, I uploaded an incredible song that I can consider one of the best arranges I have ever herd.
Do you remember it? Well, you should, because that song is beyond epic:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHXVUh1zJkE

Right, so long short story. IRON, main guitarist, producer and leader of the well known circle "IRON ATTACK!", shares his talent with another band. I don't know if it is his former band, or his side project, but the truth is IRON isn't focused 24 hours on IRON ATTACK! (believe it or not!)

This other band goes by the name of "ABSOLUTE AREA", that can be considered as the hard rock genre. "Popish" lyrics, with a common woman vocalist (at least she can sing in tune *cough* Fucki *cough*), with some elements of speed metal.
It isn't bad, but I don't consider it at the same floor were "IRON ATTACK!" belongs.

Among the members, one of them was 川瀬 ( I owe you guys the romanization of the name, since I don't know the translation of those 2 kanjis), that by reason it is unknown to many, he left "ABSOLUTE AREA". During some time, IRON invited him to contribute in the "IRON ATTACK!" project, and therefore it is the reason why the song I mentioned before, it's included on the THUNDER CONCERTO (a.k.a IRON RESURRECTION!, at least for me) album. 

All of the sudden, a new circle popped out called "THOUSAND LEAVES", and to my surprise it was a 2 member circle, 川瀬 and Bach, the crazy shredder we herd last time, and we are listening now. 
They have been constant with the anime and touhou events, however I must accept not all of their material makes me crazy, or at least, nothing so far has made me go nuts like the last song I keep mentioning. 
Anyhow, some of their music is great, not to mention Bach is a really talented guitarist, that I'm sure it has been influenced by the same bands as IRON.

In the credits of this song, and in many others, 川瀬 doesn't appear as a guitarist. He is the arranger behind this song (meaning that he is the one who planned it and re-composed it), however looks like the work of guitars are left to Bach, while 川瀬 focuses on drums, and keyboards. Wether he is behind the wonderful guitars on the "U.N Owen" arrange, or he is the mind behind that incredible arrange, it still doesn't matter, he is an incredible musician.

So, enough of 川瀬 and "U.N Owen" for now. 
This song belongs to the 2nd album. I love this song, and I love the arrange, and I can say its something way too gorgeous to describe it with words. 
I'm not going to lie here, the drums sound so plastic, but there is something very interesting about it.
You see, it is no surprise that when you listen to this song, the first word that comes to your mind is "Malmshteen". 
We can hate him or love him, however we cannot deny he has been a strong influence for many guitarist.
This song hold all the esccense of the "Yngwie" sound, and those plastic drums, along with that guitar sends you back straight to the 90's. It is all what Heavy Metal means. 

Superb song from the THOUSAND LEAVES circle, we can just hope that this pair, 川瀬 and Bach, keeps producing this heavy metal rain.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Day of the Insane
Artist: Tanaka Arctica
Circle: Kissing the Mirror
Album: Day of the Insane
Original: C'mon, don't tell me you don't know....

Because I know many of you that out last chat about U.N Owen arranges (see past video) left you wishing to listen another arrange of this song.

This time, it was Kissing the Mirror who did the job, but it wasn't Wooming this time.
Turns out he invited another musician to collaborate on this newest album. That is right, his name is Tanaka Arctica, (obvious reference to Sonata Arctica in case it wasn't your first thought).

The first time I listened to this arrange, I wasn't very impressed, but as I began to listen it more and more, I was more interested on it, to this very point I decided to share with all of you.

Now to those who question themselves "why this arrange?" allow me to explain.
"U.N Owen Was her?" is probably, the most known song from the Touhou franchise. The many jokes there has been with it (Mc'Roll of course), and the popularity of Flandre among fans, have made that this song gets arranged over and over, in so many different styles, and so many different genres.

Of course, the dilemma resides on witch of them are good, and witch of them are..."standard".
What I mean is, Flandre song has quite a trival objective, To give you the chills. I childish song that at the same time sounds cheerful, making it the standard theme of a gothic lolita (yes, I'm talking way before Nue).

So, having an arrange that takes of this mood, and re-arrange it into a complete different mood and harmony, is very refreshing. I think I mentioned in another "U.N Owen was her?" arrange I uploaded, that I like a lot when musicians do this, and therefore this song deserved a spot in here.

Of course, I'm probably missing a few arguments back there, I do apologize for this since I haven't been able to sleep and in this moments, my spelling is not the best (it is never anyway).

Tanaka totally transformed the theme of Flandre into another thing, not to mention he left some aggressive parts for not taking the whole "Flandre Scarlett" essence behind it. It is a really beautiful work, that I hope you guys love it.

About the picture, well, the cover of the album (as you can guess, this is the main song of the album) displays a very aggressive picture of Flandre, but I kinda liked it the idea of having a cute image since all the cheerful parts on this song.

Please, do forgive my lack of arguments and discussion this time, but in this moments I'm like the Cinderrella, except that instead of my carriage turning back into a pumpkin, it will be my brain, turning back into pieces.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Faces In the Mask

Circle: Crazy Voltage
Album: Drawing the Spell IV
Original: 東の国の眠らない夜 (Sleepless Night of the Eastern Country)

I have to be honest with you Aya folks, and admit I am not a fan of the character, neither of her main theme "Wind God Girl". Actually, its a very good moment to admit that I haven't ever played "Shoot the Bullet" touhou spin-off.

Along with that, I have lost myself of listening a pretty good songs composed by ZUN. Believe it or not, 2 years isn't enough to listen all of them, and finding an arrange that makes your head turns to the original is always something good.
I have listened before "東の国の眠らない夜 ", but never I did actually meant to listen the original.

Now I know a mistake I have done, and to ammend that (and also because im in a personal crusade to upload arranges of different originals) I decided this song would fit perfect, after all, its over 2:00 AM here, so Sleepless Night is a turth.

Crazy Voltage, is a very special circle in terms of rock. 42bit, always rely on his Organ as the mian intrument, while the guitar goes to the back, riffin' to support the lead. Now, in Progressive Rock, a good ol' hammond never get's old. Even the most famous songs of Progressive Rock has a couple of organs here and there. 

I don't mind at all, but something in 42bit organs have always make me run away of his music.
Currently, there is only 2 arranges from him uplaoded to this community, this one, and 95. 
Both of them are uploaded because the guitar part is incredible (and those organs make justice to Yumeko).

However, lets talk about the present. From what I could herd of the album, 42bit has been practicing a new EQ, making the guitar shine a whole lot more. I can't tell yet if its a 7 string guitar backed up with a very good bass.
This song starts in one channel, and then suddenly jumps to another whole different thing. 
I loved the solo, and deserved an spot here.
This is the first track of the album, and it pretty much makes you understand how is it goin got be the rest of the songs.


So it's past 2:30 AM here guys, this is one of many Sleepless Nights on this days.
Thanks for watching.

Album: Knights of the Round III
Original:

For the very first time on this channel, we are featuring a very strange arrange.
Are you ready?

Right, this arrange is....an arrange, of an arrange, of an arrange.
Thats right, this song is based on a song by "Jesus is Dead", that was released on the "Knights of the Round 2" album.
And that song, was originally arranged by " Dark PHOENiX", on their very first album, "Arrow Rain".

It is nice because they have increased each time the number of participants on the song.
At first , on the "Arrow Rain" album, it was only the members of Dark Phoenix, Yuu and Shion.
Then, Justice is Dead (a circle by Shion, and Ese, a really talented guitarist that isn't very present on the Touhou scene, and that he makes really good solo work). 
Finally, this last arrange is made by "Justice is Dead", a circle that has Shion, Ese, and Toshinori Hiramatsu (yeah, the happy metal birthday guy).

As you can listen, the took the song into a different thing. A less metal version, but adding a more rock essence, but so far I still don't understand what about with all the begging, and the sound effects the song has, but oh well, a remix its a remix after all.

About Knights of the Rounds, well I think they deserve some attetion, their first album was a complete blast.
When it came the second album, it didn't impressed me much, however it was really good too.
This album, well its everything but mediocre, but I still miss the prescense of Godspeed in it. It was the only circle I could trust to at least have something of Godspeed, but now, not even that.

Don't take me wrong, the circle still keeps producing really interesting stuff, and Toshinori is so far, a constant member, however, I do miss Godspeed.

Thanks for watching.

Trough many discussions and fights, Myonbel and me managed to get trough it and that way she accepted my offer of taking care of the Lyrica playlist. A playlist dedicated to Techno arranges of Touhou, that I'm sure that has lots of fans.
Besides that, Myonbel likes to focus also on images, and to this very day she continues to choose the best image to fit the song. 

I thank you Myonbel for your work, and let's go for another 100 videos!

Ah, talking about the images, yes, this is the second part of the "Mafia 東方 Touhou Metal/Techno 89".
At the beginning, I didn't knew people would like it that much, so I decided to do a follow up. Do you notice that the only white haired missing on the other video is Moukou? What's the story behind those 2 videos?
What is the secret behind the Hakurei Family and her Silver Haired members? It's up to you.

Time to run and write the other description. 
Yes, that means a double update (it's been a while isn't it?).

Thanks for watching.

Welcome to the Poltegrgeist team Macmaxi!
So who is this guy? Some time ago I received the longest PM someone has ever wrote to me, and with it, a fascination and curiosity over the ZUN's Wonderland was written.

Turns out he is a very talented web designer, and he also is a very direct person, witch analysis and questions don't lack of arguments. When he showed me what he have done with his personal site dedicated to Sakuya (as you can guess, she is her favorite character) I decided that he was up to the task.

It is not a surprise that The Poltergeist Mansion, our blog were we are supposed to do stuff has run into many problems, many of them due to the lack of time. To say that the blog is not near to complete since I created it, not to mention the many comments unanswered, more on already famous "Poltergeist List",
Myonbel doens't have any responsabily there (not that I'm saying she should), and ArcherEmiya (KakashiMr) has enough with the Merlin playlist.

Giving the circumstances we decided that we needed someone with the ability to be friendly with people, and also that wouldn't have a lack of arguments. Nothing would be better, than the "wall of text wizardy", Macmaxi.
You know what we are getting to right? Macmaxi laughed about the wordpress structure, and told us that it was needed a professional site. In order to give everyone who visits the channel the attention it's needed, we decided to give it a try:

http://poltergeistmansion.tk/

Gorgeous right? Well, it's still in it's first steps, and we need to keep working on it, but the fact is that we will now have a new site, and I hope that we can give everyone the attention it's needed. Macmaxi told us that we needed a link straight to the download section, so he made it happen, and now the music and images are 2 clicks away.

Over the time, we will incorporate new stuff.
The other site, is going to remain until Macmaxi fixes all the details on the site.
I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Macmaxi for your wonderful work! And once again, welcome to the mansion.
Thanks to KakashiMr for all the support.

And once again, thanks to you.

Before you leave, listen to what I have to say
It's still winter out there, so don't run away.
The spring is near us, so please just wait
Don't abandon me like this, by heaven sake

I have this hibernation sickness in me,
that does not leaves me chance to live.
Please God, let her stay by my side,
please, talk to me, but don't hide like that

Let us melt this cold land with this heat,
let us break the ice when we meet.
But please, don't run away like this
don't leave me with this empty bliss.

I can't stand this cold breeze 
I can't feel my body anymore
My heart may resist to the freeze
This is something, you can't ingnore.

Title: Strawberry Crisis
Artist: Demetori
Album: 流麗祭彩2
Circle: 龍道SP
Original: Strawberry Crisis!!

After our little crisis last video (thanks for all your kind messages), nothing seems more apropiate than a song that has in it's very title the word "Crisis".

Listen well what I am going to say now, there is simply, and there will be no other arrange that goes beyond this.
As usual, Demetori makes an outstanding job, leaving all the Touhou guitar players biting the dust.
Tokunan, Demetori's guitarist, bassist and keyboardist decided to stick to his 8 string guitar once again, making us know that he isn't going to take it away from quite some time.

Of course, I have nothing against it, in fact I have to say that this song, along the past album was the beginning of a new Demetori, focusing more on the progressive metal genre and leaving the speed metal behind. 
Without a doubt, Demeotri is one of my favorite bands ever, and this song, along the past album is something that it's going to be bounded in my forever.
Tokunan, is one of the best guitarist I have ever herd, and only God knows how many other heart attacks I will have with more material from Demetori.

Unfortunately, this was the only song released on this event, but we can only hope they have already started working on the next Touhou album for the fall of this year. 

Have I said before Yumemi is one of my favorite characters? Well, if I haven't I will say it now. Yumemi is THE mother fucking character. I was a little bit dissapointed with the UFO storyline. I really wanted her comeback, and the story preview made us all get the wrong idea. However, I don't blame ZUN for this. We already know that there is some sort of problem about most of the PC-98 characters, and adding Murasa and Byakuren as a "tribute" to Chiyuri and Yumemi was nice. At least it was like "I know you love them, but I can bring them back, so this is what I can do".

It is not easy when we have to accept we are on a some sort of emotional crisis. Most of the times is hard, but once you accept it, the rest is quite easy, but hey:

Demetori + PC-98 music = BEST FUCKING THING EVER

Short comment this time due to lack of time.
But if you can't sleep without one, well go figure. It is the real IKUTO this time we have been praying to listen for many songs. There is not a strong precense of the 7-string guitar he uses, however this demonstrates that IKUTO is capable to handle very good the ol' 6 string friend.
The drums are perfect! Please God, keep IKUTO doing this kind of stuff.

Epic riffing, with epic drums, with epic solo, and last but not least, epic image.

And because I can't think anything more, here goes ZUN comment:
"This is Koishi Komeiji's theme.

I tried to make it eerie and have the aura of a broken girl.
I think the eeriness is fitting for an extra boss.
Actually, I think a garden with roses strewn all about where thorns can prick you

Album: 東方志奏 5th Spell -Changing Times-
Original: アルティメットトゥルース (Ultimate Truth)

Hold tight to your seats.
In a very joyfull surprise, 彩音 ～xi-on～made an album not too far from their previous release on the C77.
With now a tradition to feature many arranges from 1 game in one CD (aside from the constant names of the album), Perfect Cherry Blossom was now the inspiration.

～xi-on～ is without a doubt, one of the best artist out there, sharing the throne with Demetori and CROW'SCLAW.
Complicated musical structure, incredible solos that makes you tear up, and a combination of genres like metal and tehcno makes this circle one of my favorites.

In this last album, this song was the one that caught my attention.
It's an album full of emotion, that leaves many of the agressive sound in exchange for some groove and for emotional solos.
Border of Life in a very Vai style, and a 5:00 minutes guitar only cover of "Ancient Temple" are just 2 out of million reasons to go and get this album.

As you already herd, this song starts with a pretty melodic techno sound, just to announce you the complicated structure the song will have. The lead is perfect, and it may not be the most aggressive riff out there, but I'm not againts it, since it's very enjoyable.

Without a doubt, this has just become one of my favorite arranges of a song that it may not be very well remembered cause of the stage. Themes from the last stage always seems loose on the arranges due to the fact that they are only an introduction for the final boss theme. Ultimate Truth fits the perfect dramatic scenery behind the last stage, with a land full of cherry blossoms, fighting for your life against the stubborn Youmu, to finally meet the spring holder, Yuyuko.

Oh, and the image is simply gorgeous.
To be honest, there is no image that fits for what ～xi-on～ makes me feel, but still, its gorgeous.
Gorgeous song, gorgeous image, gorgeous album.

Thanks for watching.

Turn out the volume really loud this time.
It's the CROW, doing a Nuclear Fusion arrange!

Let me tell you guys a little bit of the story behind this arrange, turns out it was released on an album made by "Sound Skt" and 白楽亭 (Hakurakutei) circle. It features a little manga about Sikieki's story, and how she has adapted to the live of Gensyoko.

Of course, Nuclear Fusion is the some for a hell crow, and who better than the metal CROW to make perfect justice for her song. 
I would like to listen a full Nuclear Fusion arrange done by CROW'SCLAW (don't worry, its just a matter of time till Taka decides to. Many reasons to support my theory, but for now, try to believe me), but for now, the bit and pieces we can hear from this track is just beyond my words.

Sakabato is indeed a talented drummer, and the idea of making a techno/metal arrange of Utusho is something many have demanded since the very first time we herd her theme. xi-on made justice, not to mention Demetori's grand piece.
But these? Oh my God, it simply leaves me without words.

I have said it, and I still say it, Nuclear Fusion is one of the most incredible songs composed out there. Only a short amount of it can leave you in the floor from a heart attack.
So does Taka from CROW'SCLAW, that forever and ever, will be one of my favorite musicians, because with this kind of music, Taka does not deserve to be called just a guitarist.

THE CROW'S ARE LISTENING.

Truly a masterpiece in every part, as usual, Takase makes this playlist worth of it's name.

I don't have any more words for this song, cause it's simply out of my control what this song makes me feel.

Title: フォールオブフォール　～ 秋めく滝 
Artist/Circle: UI-70
Album: 緑眼のジェラシー 
Original: フォールオブフォール　～ 秋めく滝 (Fall of Fall ~ Autumnal Waterfall)

UI-70 released a 4 track album on the recent event.
And seriously, I don't care about the quantity of the songs if the quality is going to be like what you already start to hear.

I was really to see (and to hear) that UI-70 has successfully returned to their roots, or at least this song brings me really good old memories of what UI-70 used to be. The song is perfectly EQ, and that 7-string guitar makes the new UI-70 born, but without forgetting who they were. The distortion on the main guitar is pretty similar to their past metal efforts, so I can presume they really wanted to revive those good arranges.

Aside from that, I consider this arrange special in some way.
You see, time ago I read an interview done to John Petrucci, were he was asked about his recent work on the song "The Best of Times" from the last Dream Theater album. I remember he said something like "Making a song mostly on major scales, with major motives without making it sound corny and common, it is very difficult for all those who have been playing metal during so much years, in fact, one can say it's almost impossible".

I agree with THE man, now I am not trying to even dare comparing UI-70 with Dream Theater, but what I'm trying to get here is that UI-70 made a beautiful piece, full of all the crunchy stuff we like, on a song that most of the times get's overlooked by all those who arrange metal due to his "cheerful" nature. It doesn't sound corny at all, and will sure cheer you up without getting all the metal esccense we demand so much.

To conclude, I am not going to say "THIS IS THE UI-70 COMEBACK", because so far, it has never been. But this, it can be a pretty good damn start. Oh by the way, I'm reading they are going to release an album dedicated entirely to arrange "Phantom Ensemble". I'm sure it won't be metal at all, in fact im expecting the most album to be techno (steady Myonbel), however, I'm pretty sure it will get one or 2 songs beyond this world.

But for now, let us stop talking about the future, and let us enjoy this wonderful song.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Gates of Hell
Artist: Bach
Circle: THOUSAND LEAVES
Album: GENESIS
Original: Bad Apple!!

WRITING YOUR ALBUM NAME ON CAPS MAKES YOU FEEL BADASS!

No, seriously, I'm sure this is not going to be in everyone's cup of tea, because it takes out the must catchy motive on a Touhou song there is (go and listen the original Bad Apple!! if you doubt).
At first, I had trouble to decide over this song, if it was worth to upload it or not. Actually, it happens me every time with THOUSAND LEAVES songs. 

We have established before that Bach (I insist, you need guts to go around naming yourself like that), has some relation with IRON!, guitarist and leader of IRON ATTACK!, however is it unknown to me if he is also an influence to him.
I say it because this arrange made me remember the way IRON! likes to arrange, taking most of the catchy and notable motives of the original song, and adding a whole other composition over the harmony of the original one.

But anyway, I was really dissapointed at first not listening to the bass line of Bad Apple!!, that intro that you won't take it out of your head during a whole week, however, listening to this song a couple of times, I noticed there is a lot to comment.

With a clear influence of the "multi-speed-neo-classical-fat-i-like-to-say-im-better-than-bach" guitarist, Yngwie Malmsteen, Bach delivers an arrange with a bit of classic influence, and with solo's that will take years to play them.
Those bends was what convinced me about uploading the arrange, but more than that, I think a good arranger can also manage what we are listening now, creating his own song just quoting a few motives of the original one.

Aside from what this song is or isn't, Bach is growing both his skill at playing and his skill at arranging. And without a doubt, THOUSAND LEAVES has won a place on this channel every time Bach decides to rock again.

With this delayed surprise, we hope to fill the dreams of so many, and along with that give you a ticket to heaven, because this 2 arranges, made by this 2 artist, are sure worth to reach the nirvana, or whatever your paradise should be.

Back on the days were I started the channel, there wasn't many arranges of the PC-98 games. At least there were but many of them were synthed, and didn't had many work of production.
After all this time, I feel very good that artist think more and more on the PC-98 music, cause in my opinion, the best music is in those games (my favorite song of all ZUN work, is a PC-98 song). 

Both IRON and Kokuyasu didn't miss their chance to recreate this wonderful music. 
And what a better way to make the characters be alive, than giving each one of the songs the perfect attitude to each one of the character personality.

I'll stop here, because there are songs that doesn't deserve words, and not exactly because they are bad.
They are so incredible, so out of this world, that once again, language and words are useless to describe the sensation.

Thanks to everyone supporting me on this project since the very beginning.
The idea was to share epic arranges like this with all the community, and I'm glad that not only people would enjoy the experience. That also people would like the idea to share their own ideas, and their own favorite songs to the rest of the community.

So once again, I thank everyone with the bottom of my heart.
And Moomaria, thanks a lot for what you did, it really means a lot for us.

Album: Metallical Astronomy

Welcome to the metallic astronomy concert!
Yes, Renko and Maribel are going to hold a concert live from space!

So SOUND HOLIC decided to pull a metallic concert this recent event, and it was pretty obvious one song (or 2 as this case) would end up uploaded on your metal touhou channel.

To be honest, my expectation was too high with this album, since when ArcherEmiya told me "SOUND HOLIC METAL ALBUM" my first thought was the incredible "Fate of the Sixteth Year" arrange 8STYLE made (Lunasa 160 in case you wonder). 

I forgot that SOUND HOLIC goes 90% for vocals, therefore vocals arrange on this album was to be totally expected. 
At first, I didn't manage to listen it fully, I end up tiring of the excessive use on vocalist, but as the time went by, I came to realize that the guitars were impressive, and after all, that was the catch to get them on here, not to mention the instrumental tracks are beyond time and space, like the one you are listening now, Satellite XXX. 

Turns out that 8STYLE is the one behind all the arranges on the album, whether he played guitar on them or not, so you can expect really good arranges from this album. The guitars are played by different artist too. You remember 709 Sec? Well he is also included (soon to be heard making a rap thingy on the next song). The vocals aren't bad either, and its a pretty good mix from the all stars artist that SOUND HOLIC endorse. I decided to go for a "A Trip to the Moon", cause the vocalist there is part from another circle, CREST, witch will be featured in another occasion.
I am not going ot say the entire album is a masterpiece, however if you can stand the vocals, I'm quite sure you will love it.

Album: Day of the Insane
Circle: Kissing the Mirror X Tanaka Arctica
Original: 月時計 ～ルナ・ダイアル, フラワリングナイト

So this song may be a little bit familiar to you.

That is right, 100 videos ago (wow, times goes really fast), I shared with you one of the most incredible arranges of "Lunar Clock", if it isn't that my top favorite.
Since that moment, Kissing the Mirror leader Wooming has never stopped to amaze me, and even if most of the album is not on my cup of tea, there is always one song that is worth to check out.

I still hope for a next album were Cororo and Wooming work together again, so we can enjoy a wonderful new album such as "Dreaming River" was on it's time (not that since that moment, Wooming tracks has never been left out on the channel). 
But while that day comes, Wooming released a couple of re-recorded tracks. Of course, "The Night of Eternity" couldn't be left out, since I think we all agree that is so far, the best work Wooming has done.

However, I do not know why it was needed to use vocals. The song was a pretty good damn solid even without vocals, but knowing Wooming and his influences (Alexi Laiho most likely), it wasn't a surprise he decided to add vocals.
At first I was pretty upset with the idea, since the intro sounds like a full metal cannon, however as I began to listen this album more often (most people didn't liked this release) I wasn't bothered of vocals at all.

In fact, I can say this is one of the most professional arranges I herd. It has a very decent EQ, while everything is on it's right place. If you listen to many other metal/vocal arranges, it can lack of a good EQ (normally, the vocalist always sound 50% more than the rest of the instruments). However, in this arrange re-recorded, you can hear the powerful crunch/bass line from guitars and bass, while the vocalist doesn't mess up with the rest. The strings, and the lead of the keyboard are in the right place, and tuning lower the song was a very intelligent idea (for me, the lowest the guitars are, the better).

It is indeed, one of my favorite arranges, from 100 videos ago to this day.
And yes I still think on Castlevania with this one song (or at least, my particular idea of how Touhouvania should be [following the fan-theory was a vampire hunter before being the servant of Remilia]). 

So allow yourself to get lost on time, enjoying this arrange as much as you can, however it's not fair, Sakuya can stop the time. She can make epic arranges of her theme to be timeless, just like this one.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Zodiac
Artist: タケ
Album: Final Exit
Circle: XOTIC
Original: 魔女達の舞踏会 ～ Magus

Those who knew about this album were pretty excited in the beggining.
The cover displays an image of a Rinnosuke cartoon, playing what it looks like a massive guitar.

This album was recorded with something known as "Warr Guitar", and it is not a joke, it's a 10-string guitar.
That's right, If you thought Tokunan from Demetori was crazy about using an 8 string guitar, this album goes for the 10 string. 
If you want to found more information about this, it you should go here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warr_guitar

As you can read, the guitar is mostly designed for Tapping technique, but there are some people who opposes to this and decided to go all for the strumming as a standard electric guitar.
Don't ask me how the hell do you even play that thing, but one thing is for sure, you need a lot of control on your picking.
7 strings are hard, and I consider 8 strings to be unnecessary (well, Tokunan made me change my vision), however this goes beyond the limit.

Now about the song, the circle, and the album.
I wanted to save this song for a Halloween special, however the image was pretty convincing, and well, it was the only song that was worth (we will talk about the album later). The drums sound plastic as hell, and I accept must of the arrange is done by keyboards, while the guitar only sits there doing the rhythm support for the lead. I like the solo, but probably someone can spot notable "tributes" to other songs from already famous Metal Progressive bands.

Talking about that, well the album is most of it a HOAX. Yeah, you read it right, a complete Bogus in terms of arrangement.
From the 8 songs there are on the album, this one and a rendition to Aki Minoriko theme is the only songs that deserve to be called arrangement. The rest is just a complete mix of random riffs by Dream Theater and other metal progressive bands or either some powerful chords that doesn't resemble to the original song.

Sure, there are an "U.N Owen was her?" an a "Lunar Clock" arranges who cover most of the famous lead of the song, however the rest is a complete different thing from what the song goes. And it's not "different" like IRON! tends to do it, he follows the harmony of the song, and adds his spice here and there to the original song. Here , タケ goes completely out of orbit. There is even a song that is supposed to be a Hartmann Youkai girl arrange, but its nothing more like 7 famous riffs of John Petrucci mixed on one song. Trust me, this can sound interesting, however once you herd it it will stand as a very bad cover, and the plastic drumming does not help either.

So, the unique song It was worth to upload was this, and the Aki Minoriko sister theme, however, this last one only last 1:38 minutes, and after waiting so much, it seems unfair I go for a very short arrange.

As a last piece of information, the circle is not new, and has done certain other things on the metal genre. 
Along with PXP, formed something called PXPANDAXOTIC and to this day they have released one trash metal album (Lunasa #84 in case you wonder), however Trash Metal is not in my cup of tea.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this song, because It was the only I accepted from that album, and I know, the image is incredible awesome, and fits very well with the sound.

Thanks for watching, thanks for the patience, sorry for the long absence, and thanks for all your kind messages.
Amen

UPDATE: I just found that this song is a cover of an arrange made and played by the same artist, on a NEUTRAL2 album named "Twinkle Twinkle". Check the video response to listen it.

Isn't one of the most gorgeous arts I have used to represent a song?

Anyway, I was returning to my home while I re-listened for 5th time Takase recent album.
Listening to this song, I kinda realized how unfair I was with all of you uploading only 1 song from this album (Sleeping Terror justice), so against my policy I decided to slip this one time and upload another song of this album.

Choosing the best song of this album is nearly an impossible task, because every song you hear will be devaoureded by your ears. The sound of the real Metal Progressive Rock, applied to Touhou songs is something that I keep thanking it exists, and I'm glad to know more people get's interested in it. I have said it many times, and I will keep saying, there are two artist out there that make "Touhou Metal Progressive Rock" be really progressive, one is Takase, and the other one is Tokunan, from Demetori (in this new phase of "King Crimsonage 8 String Guitar").

Talking about musicans that grow up into new phases, I consider UFO soundtrack quite different from the others.
I can't remember the site were I read that (most likely, an article on DoujinStyle) ZUN influences when it comes to compose music are Classic, Jazz, and Progressive Rock (Perfect trinity isn't it?).
However, I really noticed an influence of Metal on UFO. I mean, we have herd many "metalish" songs from Touhou games. Suwa Foughten Field is the most popular to this day. However, there isn't a single song in UFO (except for Murasa stage) that doesn't sound metalish enough. 

To this day, I consider this particular song (Shou Toramaru theme) to be the most influenced metal song over all Touhou games (yes, including PC-98 and Seihous in there). This song, along "Tiny Tiny Clever Commander", Stage 5 theme, and without a doubt Heian Alien, are songs that were composed striclty for metal, and I'm sure that was the plan of the mastermind ZUN.

Luckily, "The Tiger-Patterned Bishamonten" hasn't been forgot, and I really expect more incredible arranges on the way. 
Without a doubt, this song makes justice to the epic battle against the "Star Wars fanatic tiger".

Thanks for watching.

Title: Mixed Power
Artist: Wiest
Circle: Far in the distance -4 Ever-
Album: Are you Nuts?!?
Original: U.N Owen....(you already know it)

You guys already know how it's the deal with Flandre arranges.
If they are on the Lunasa playlist is either because: 

a) they are done with a pretty good amount of crunchy riffs.
b) they are different from most of the "creepy loli" arranges.

Turns out that this song does not only acomplish one of the conditions, it fills the 2 of them.
First of all I amazed with the quality of the song, the guitars are incredible good. The mix on the song it's perfect, and makes the drop tuning of guitars along with that powerful bass line to shine even more.
I couldn't believe this song, along many others in the album. Turns out it has another 3 tracks of the Metal/Techno genre, and for that reason is one of the best arrange albums I have ever herd.

So who is this Wiest guy? Well turns out it's not his first time doing arranges. He has been featured on some albums (with MyonMyon, Pizuya, PxP), but he didn't belonged to any circle, neither he had one. All of the sudden, this circle (the name is quite long in my opinion), pops out with this album featuring Wiest, the leader of the circle as a main artist.

I don't know if this guy has some sort of connection with Taka, but I can assure you he has managed to make an album almost with the same sound quality that CROW'SCLAW always do, that at least in my opinion, it is the one that has more quality of sound over all circles.

This particular song was different from Flandre arranges, it takes out the name "creepy" and slams the name "powerful" in your face, thing that to this day, only techno songs manage to do. 
I really hope Wiest keeps releasing more stuff, because without a doubt, this arrange has to be remembered as one of the best it has been ever done. 

Thanks for watching.

Title: The Flowering Night (off vo)
Artist: 龍5150
Album: シンフォニック東方Ⅲ先行版
Circle: 5150
Original: フラワリングナイト (Flowering Night)

First of all allow me to apologize of yet another arrange of Flowering Night, but I wanted to show some evidence of my thoughts on the current touhou metal music scene.
Right so, lately many metal arranges (I'm in pain to say CROW'SCLAW was one of those) have released their music using vocals. So far, Demetori, -xi-on- and UI-70 have kept the instrumental albums all the way. It is a shame that circles like "Unlucky Morpheous" are forever doomed to have a vocalist that kinda ruins the whole beauty of the arrange.

blazinshin and me (and im sure many others) have been dissapointed to see Unlucky Morpheous is yet releasing another album full of speed metal, 7 string madness, and.......Fuki vocals. For those who doesn't have an idea of what I'm talking about, Fuki is the vocalist of Unlukcy Morpheous (previously featured on this channel), that in my opinion, she doesn't sing in tune and spoils all the Yuki (Unlucky Morpheous musician "a beast") work. 

Currently, Lunasa channel has certain policies about arranges. One of them is to avoid vocal metal tracks a much as I can.
Of course, sometimes (Lunasa 666-6.6) the arrange is totally worth it, because the vocals are also incredible and matches perfect with the song, however this is very unusual.

Take for instance this arrange. You remember Lunasa 223 right? Well, as it was expected, many people loved the back music but totally hated the song due to the vocalist, 龍5150. Now, this guy (whose name I believe is inspired on the already famous Peavey amplifier) has his circle, and he has released many material that I didn't herd before. There has been 3 albums released, 2 full of vocals and the last one released many Off Vocal versions of his past works. Thank God, he isn't like Yuki, who still has an album with no "off vocals" versions of some albums released by Unlucky Morpheous.

Anyway, what I'm trying to proof here is that a beautiful and delicate piece of gorgeous music can be totally ruined by adding a vocalist to the list. This arrange is magnificent in every second, combining simple guitar power chords, a decent solo, and lots of keyboard strings. I can even dare to say this arrange off vocal version can disguise as a standard arrange (watch the comments of those who doesn't read these wall of text), however I don't even want to imagine it how spoiled gets when龍5150 comes to sing.

The voice as an instrument is really hard, and I understand that getting the desired result with it can be really unusual.
Composing instrumental music isn't easy too, however I will always prefer instrumental music over music with vocals (except in some cases). So what is my point here? Well, there isn't really one, after all it is just my opinion, and in music, that is all that matters.

Thanks for watching.

With all the sudden cargo of metal that the Reitaisai7 was, I totally forgot to upload this master work by Toshinori Hiramatsu (the happy birthday guy on the "other stuff" playlist).

Toshinori arranges are hard to come by, since he ins't regular on it's touhou releases, however it is good to know he still caughts our full attention when he arranges music of ZUN. To be honest I don't care about not beign regular, as long as he still releases something. And yes, this was a total indirect to Godspeed lack of Touhou arranges.

"This is the stage 2 theme.
It peaks quickly, but the franticness leaves a lingering little something.
That's how I wanted this song to feel.
It was meant to be my ultimate blend of Japanese and Western styles.
On an unrelated note, there's nothing wrong with the Gensokyo girls.
They just enjoy living dangerously..." ----ZUN@MusicRoom

It is true this song never have caught my attention. 
Probably because I feel it very monotonus, and very similar to Mytsia theme.
However, once again, an arranger has made me change the vision about this arrange, and I'll look for more works from this song. And well, about Touhou girls, yeah it's just like Mathematicians, we just simply love complicated things.

Title: 火映塚 ～ Higan Retour
Artist/Cricle: Kota-rocK
Album: 闇深祭
Original: 花映塚　～ Higan Retour 

Going back on some "old" stuff from the Touhou music scene, this was the first song released on the first album by Kotarou, leader and unique member of "Kota-rocK" circle.

Now, getting used to the pieces done by Kotarou can be really diffcult, since I'm quite used to heavy crunchy riffin' when it comes to metal, outside and inside Touhou music. From past songs uploaded in your channel, we already know that Kotarou uses (or used to) the piano as a main instrument, making the guitars an accompaniment for the lead piano.

I have to confess that is one of the many reasons why every song on Kotarou's history is sometimes overlooked, however it is true the expression that they are diamonds in the rough. Or I should rephrase that, because in the end they were diamonds, but I never did took the time to listen them so I can share them with you.

I'm quite sure once you have finished listening this song, you will replay it over and over, cause it's simply gorgeous.
Many times I have said that Kotarou's music it's really good, since it adds a nice decent rock flavor to the original song. 
I'm not saying that Kotarou can match with ZUN musical talent, however if you want something not so different from what ZUN does, but still with a nice variation of the original song, with a nice touch of rock, Kotarou is your best option.

As the time has passed, Kotarou has been using a lot more guitars than it used to be. His riffs are very good, and the lead parts, well not that much, however what I don't like about it is the quality of sound. One of the many things Taka (CROW'SCLAW), Tokunan (Demetori), have showed us, is that using low tuning guitars, perfectly equalized for making the accompaniment can be the perfect addition to a "never forget" arrange.

Perhaps Kotarou doesn't like it that way, however, I would love to listen this arrange with a more aggressive crunchy guitar sound. If I'm saying this it's not because I don't like it, it is just because Kotarou has some great potential.
Going back to listen some of the older stuff is good, when we were barely knowing what Touhou is, so once again we prove that old, doesn't mean bad.

Wooming's Komachi fetish went beyond the conception on the past C77.
Without a doubt, Komachi is for many of us, our must deep desire, however, Wooming gets the big prize by releasing an album full of "Riverside View" arranges.

I decided to upload this one, since I know it's for many of you, one of the top arranges.
And this time, it's re-recorded, without vocals, and more crunchy than ever.

Forgive me this time for the short message.
Uploading the channel & the list tomorrow, so I wont be away for too long.
Meanwhile, here is ZUN's comment:

"Komachi Onozuka's theme.
To sweep away everything, and see what remains is the destiny of the mid-boss. This one reflects that fate, as well as the feeling of sweeping away.
Touhou has done this sweeping idea in the past, but I feel like this is the first time I've put so much exhilaration and pathos into a piece.
On the higan retour, that there would be no regrets as this piece... "

Title: Endless Control (Off Vocal)
Artist: Yuki (and Yuki only!)
Album: Jealously Off Vocal Ver.
Circle: Unlucky Morpheous
Original: ほおずきみたいに紅い魂 (A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry)

Courtesy of Moomaria (sorry pal, It wasn't my intention my comments go against you or Blazinshin), we can enjoy of Unlucky Morpheous without Fuki.

Like if it wasn't enough, Yuki once again amazes us by showing us how good an arrange can be even if it is constructed to use vocals as main lead. 
The rhythm patterns Yuki uses goes beyond on doing a simple accompaniment to the base line. His guitar really manages to pull out from all the rest of the instruments. This may sound a bit irrelevant, however I'm the believe that all of the great heavy metal bands (yes, Im talking about general), have a guitarist capable of doing both a great lead, and a great accompaniment that boost all the rhythm and the bass line.

It is not the first time "A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry" is featured on this channel. After all who can forget the all time favorite "The Beautiful 東方 Metal/Prog Rock 52". The most kick ass rhythm and bass line of all the channel. 
I think this is one of the songs that goes overlooked by it's reference with Rumia, that sadly, is nothing more than a joke character by ZUN. However, this arrange made by Yuki totally breaks that complex. And without a doubt, the EX-Image used makes perfect justice to it.

The fan legend of EX-Rumia lives today, delivering gorgeous pictures of the apparently most idiotic and innocent character on Touhou. God only knows how is that that fans came with this anti-ZUN storyline, however we can't deny it0s already part of the Touhou universe, such as the already famous "Number 9". 

ZUN has proved with Cirno inclusion to UNL, that he may be a little friendly with so many fanboys screaming his name, however getting to EX-Rumia concept is most likely, impossible. However, faith always live, such as the fate on Yuki releasing another instrumental album.

Just a matter of taste, nothing more.

Vo. 電子レンジ剛志
The rest: 平野幸村 (Yukimura Hirano)

Album: 不滅桜花
Original: 少女幻葬　～ Necro-Fantasy (A Maiden's Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro-Fantasy)

Yuki has been releasing a lot of things recently.
And in case you wonder, yes we are talking about the same Yuki from Unlucky Morpheous.

Unfortunately, none of his business has been instrumental only, but we can at least thank he actually decided to "side-project" with another circle, called "Icarus'cry", for one release.
I know how sad our faces can turn when we mention the word "vocalist" next to "Yuki", however this time things have changed for good.
Now, I'm not going to say the vocalist is beyond this world, because clearly he dosn't outstand many out there.
However I do want to give him credit he, at least can tune his voice to the song (the reference to who doesn't do it, its quite obvious).

But you do remember the rules of this channel right?
This arrange, does not have vocals that stand out, however the music is gorgeous. 
For the recent days, I have been troubled myself wether to upload this or not, cause I'm sure some will wonder why I upload this, and not her side kick Fuki. However, 3 things are to be noted on this song.

1) It has been already explained, even if the vocalist sound too way proccesed (probably Yuki used the auto-tune a bit too much [I can't explain why he doesn't do that with....you know]), we still thank it sounds correctly in the song.

2) The mix is gorgeous! The process of EQ in this song is perfect. Drums, Guitar, Bass AND Vocalist are just at the perfect volume, on the perfect levels. (Let's take note for the next IKUTO release)

3 & most important) I don't know what the hell did Yuki made all this time, but his composition level is now fantastic. If yesterday, we were already amazed to what this crazy shredder could do, now it certainly it's out of his mind.
The music is gorgeous, the arrange is quite different, with its own spice, but it still retain the original parts making it perfect, and that seven string guitar is certainly incredible.

Yuki is part of a Visual Kei band (yes also), that to this day, hasn't release anything. However, I will keep track of him wether it is Touhou reletead or not, because in my opinion, Yuki's composition are worth to listen, of course, as long there isn't someone screaming at your ear out of tune.

I'm glad this was not the case, but still, it begs the question.
"Why he insist on using vocals?". Probably this will be one of the mysteries on Touhou Metal Music.
The other are, "Why IKUTO mix drums so bad?" and of course, "Where the fuck is Godspeed?".

Anyway, thanks for watching.

And yes, I know, I'm starving for the voiceless album too.

As many of you have noted, I'm horribly busy at this very moment in my life, and answering PM's has been impossible of me.
I barely have time to update the channel with what I consider "quality" songs.
Time ago, I also decided to stop offering request of "X" Touhou song in metal due to the same reason.
Both of the things makes me terribly unhappy, because I would like to offer each one of you the opportunity to listen your dreams come true. However, l prefer being so "ghostly" as I am, rather than stop uploading.
For the same reason, I'm on a personal crusade to have at least 1 upload of every Touhou song (post PC-98), so everyone has at least one favorite to stick it.

One song It has been reqeusted many times has been the spinning youkai theme.
Beyond the reason this song lacks of arranges, lies the truth that this theme has never caught my attention.
I think this song goes unnoticed for many due to the reason "Dark Road" is such an incredible song.
I like to think of "Dark Road" as a theme for Hina, and not as a stage theme.

However, how many times have we changed our thoughts due to the wonderful art we listen here.
Once again, Kokuyasu comes full of gothic metal to blast my head, and to accept another theme into one of my favorite songs. However, I'm afraid I am beginning to be a little repetitive with the artists I feature in this channel, however you know one of the rules is quality over quantity, and the less synth the song has, the better.

Hina Kagiyama is a character that has acquired a lot of fans over the time. Something has her that Touhou fans consider her to be one of the most gorgeous character from Gensyoko (you won't believe the images you can found about her). Aside from this fetish, I consider her to be one of the most underrated characters of the Touhou universe.

I mean, after all she is a curse goddess that lives in a forest chasing away lost humans, and gathering their misfortunes.
With the ability of storing curses, and a whole army of dolls to scare the hell out humanity, Hina qualifies to be one of the most terrifing characters. Although her intentions, aren't as evil as some people most claim.
However, her "spinning-meme" have made her to achieve her fame, and to this day, we hope that ZUN brings her back in another game, such as we hope to listen more arranges of this underrated theme.

Thanks for watching, and once again thanks for your patience.

Title: Bridge No One Passes
Artist: SHO
Circle: S.H.O. -Sonic Hybrid Orchestra-
Album: TOUHOU TEMPEST V
Original: 

After listening to this, you will hate even more synth metal than you used to be.
Breaking one of the golden rules of this channel, I'm going to commit an exception, with the all loved SHO.
I have said it before, and I will say it again, I try to avoid as many synth metal as I can. But sometimes, this is simply impossible, as it is being now.

I guess this rule has made me overlook many songs that are worth to listen, over and over again. And if we think on videogames, well what would have been of videogames without synth metal? After all, it was synth metal that raised my interest when I was young.

Anyway, I herd this song lost that was kinda lost in my library, and when I herd it, the feeling of sharing was already in me.
SHO makes a perfect balance that synth metal requires. A lot of synth work with a couple of good EQ's on back guitars to provide the proper and powerful sound of heavy metal. One thing I don't like about SHO, is the abuse on the synth guitar, however in this song, it was totally different.

This is nothing new, after all, "The Bridge People No Longer Cross" is totally constructed that way, and SHO magic works great here, because he isn't messing his synthed guitar, with lead parts (and the only time he does that, is what that wonderful solo).
Talking about "The Bridge People No Longer Cross", isn't it sad that to this day we only have 2 metal arranges (this one and the other made by IRON ATTACK!, previously featured on this channel)? This song is one of my favorite compositions ZUN's have, and when I used to play SA, I remeber turning the full volume up with this song.

A hollow yet melancholic song for the green mist cave, that only makes the tension build up for the mystery and dangers that awaits when the heroine meets the Green Eyed Monster.
This song matches as one of my top 10 when it comes to ZUN compositions, and it's very likely because of the fact that ZUN used his synth guitars a lot.

"We're going down deeper and deeper.
It's not too bold and very ambient, so it's the traveling song of traveling songs.
Somehow it feels kind of Japanese, but that wasn't on purpose, hence the "somehow".
By the way, this has nothing to do with anything, but caves are great."-----ZUN@MusicRoom

Well, it sounds Japanese because you only used the Pentanoic Minor Scale here my dear ZUN, but you already knew that.
Who doesn't know it is someone that should make a blues/metal arrange of this song (Taka)?

So, once again I hope I have left clear to main things it needed to be corrected on the future:

A) More arranges of "The Bridge People No Longer Cross"
B) SHO, please use real guitars! We beg to you.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Into the Madness

Circle: IRON ATTACK!
Album: FAR EAST JUDGMENT
Original: 狂気の瞳　～ Invisible Full Moon (Lunatic Eyes ～ Invisible Full Moon)

Not so long ago, I was practicing my guitar skills.
So, I did some sort of practice pattern and I intermediately remembered Invisible Full Moon.
The next couple of minutes I spend playing the intro of the original song, and then I wondered why it isn't one of the first option to arrange in metal.
Perhaps is the fact that Invisible Full Moon is one difficult song in every sense, or at least I consider it that way.
The composition is somewhat odd, but that doesn't make it bad, and the intro isn't something you can play fast and clean in less than 5 minutes. 

I decided that I needed to share with you guys a little bit more about this song, and hence I decided to upload another arrange of Invisible Full Moon, since it has been also requested to me a lot. (Although, my favorite arrange has been already uploaded). If we talk about playing nice, sharp, and clean, nothing like IRON! to do the job. Actually I would be lying if I tell you I didn't have plans to upload this in the past, but time went on me, and I completely forgot about this.

As usual IRON does fair justice to one popular song over Touhou story. Adding a lot of riffing, those trash drums that makes your head bang, and of course, those monstrous technique that IRON will always deliver.

If you are not fond to Invisible Full Moon, this is the time to change your opinion.
I understand the song isn't easy to swallow. Isn't easier when it goes famous by an IOSYS joke (you know what I'm talking about right?), but after a few times, I'm sure you will realize is one master piece on ZUN's art.

And talking about art. I came across that image, and I couldn't resist to share it with you. One of the best fan-art I have ever seen. However I regreat not finding it before for using it in Kokuyasu. Still, Invisible Full Moon it's so odd, that almost any arrange, makes, not the perfect match, but a pretty decent pairing.

Fear is probably the most powerful force on this world.
Not so long ago, I understood that there isn't action that it isn't made by fear.
Fear to death, fear to solitude? Take your pick, but if you search deep inside yourself, you will understand that all your actions are driven by your fear.

Taking this into consideration, makes of Satori a very dangerous character.
Imagine someone who would be able to read your fears?
And not satisfied with that, making your own fears real to drive you mad?
Luckily, Satori is one fictional character. Still, there is people who manages to do what was just described.

"This is Satori Komeiji's theme.

She's the master of the Palace of the Earth Spirits. She's a little fancy and loves animals.
Actually, she should be the highest ranked enemy in Subterranean Animism, but it looks like
fighting isn't her specialty.
I tried to make the song dramatic and otherworldly, too." zun@musicroom

Well, certainly you created one of the most dramatic songs ever, and one dramatic boss too.
Listening to this song, while having a reminiscence of those complicated patterns that you thought never come back.
Satori's fighting skills, aren't that good, however don't you dare on challenge her on mind games.

By the way, the picture is outstanding, my favorite artist, Shimadoriru, does complete justice to what this song, Satori, and fear means for me.

Sanae theme hasn't been the exception when it comes to metal arranges.
To this day, almost every artist known in this channel has, at least, 1 arrange of this song.

It is no surprise, given that Sanae theme has one of the most "dramatic" motives of all ZUN's compositions, or at least that's the way I think about it. However, Sanae theme it isn't one of my favorites, but this particular arrange didn't went overlooked.

It is a shame that the circle "Discord Registrers" has only 2 albums at this day.
I visted their website, and there isn't any news about a new album project. However, it seems they are touring with some of their Touhou songs, witch I consider to be great. 

I like a lot this song.
As I always have stated on this channel, I prefer a good keyboard lead rather than a horrid non tuned guitar lead.
Such is the case of this song. While the crunchy guitars are on the back, the keyboard takes place on the lead parts.
Some lead parts are given to the guitar, however this manages the perfect balance to make a great song.

The picture is gorgeous isn't it?
I couldn't believe how many time I took to find a decent image of Sanae, given that now she is so popular by taking the lead role of the series, but in the end, I can say the time hunting was worth of it.

I repeat, it's a shame Discord Registrers haven't planned anything new.
Without a doubt, this playlist will receive their future creations with arms wide open, that is, if they ever get to work anything new.

Since we are approaching to the end of this cycle (feel like forever doens't it), I decided to finish my "yuki theory", by uploading another song of his "solo" album.
Besides that, I found the Nazrin image you are watching right now, and somehow I needed to use it.

"Undefined Fantastic Object" is a very different game from the rest of the Touhou series.
Beside all the gameplay features that ZUN implemented, I consider the music to be quite different from the rest of the games.
By some reason I can't explain, UFO soundtrack goes perfect with the environment of the game, and every song it's a perfect match to the design of the stage.

"This is Nazrin's theme.

Isn't the song boss-like? Never mind how she looks.
Once, a long time ago, a mouse climbed into the kotatsu with me.
It even bit me. The bleeding wouldn't stop, so I had to stay home from school.
Mice are actually pretty strong, so they're dangerous. Never mind how they look."---zun@musicroom

Well, nothing much we can dig of the comment this time, but I grant ZUN the idea that this song is very "boss-like".
You just have to love how he uses guitars for the bass line. 

Anyway, this time I'll avoid any comment referring to Yuki/Fuki duo, because sometimes, words aren't needed.
Just listen to this wonderful music, and draw your own conclusions.

Since the day I herd this arrange I have been saving it for a special occasion.
It's been a while since I uploaded a "Nuclear Fusion" arrange. After Demetori's work, one would think that there won't be any other arrange to surprise us. (I'm not saying Taka's work wasn't impressive)

However, that is the beauty of the diversity in the world of Touhou arranges.
This channel has witnessed before the glorious works Tatsh has done to ZUN music.
From techno, to classic. From pop to progressive rock arranges, this one should stand as one of the most impressive works I have herd of Nuclear Fusion. 

With so many elements to combine, Tatsh sure manages to represent Utsuho madness (drive by stupidity that is) in this song. Don't you love that claxon emulated sound with the use of the whammy bar and feedback? In this song, some motives are darked, but in general is not as apocalyptic and aggressive as other arranges, thing that It doesn't bother me at all.
This song really manages to capture the esccense of the "final battle", creating the perfect fit on a cinematic battle between Reimu and the Yatagarasu. 

Once again, this song should demonstarte the incredible talent of Tatsh.
And of course, we already are starving for more of his work, on the future of touhou music.

Thanks for watching.

(PS: We finally finished this cycle. I'll upload the images and the music to the site. Just wait patiently).

Title: 少女さとり ～3rd eye～
Artist: adany
Album: FENNEL SEED ～想いし神～
Circle: FENNEL SEED
Original: 少女さとり ～ 3rd eye

(Excessive delay because I wasn't able to find a decent image for the song)

All right.
So, you already know what is the original song, since you are reading this.
Looks like Satori theme can be considered as a favorite on metal arranges. In fact, I'm pretty convinced it can be considered as one of the most arranged songs by now. Let's not lie, the original song beats the hell out of us. That's the truth.

However, how many arranges we have featured here? Around 12? 
After so many of them, and after the work of Demetori, you maybe are wondering "what can this offer"?

To our surprise, this arrange manage to stand out of all the arranges for "3rd Eye".
I can say without a doubt, this is one of the best we have featured, one of the best arranges ever (how many times I have said that?). Pure metal progressive rock to my ears, perfect chords and perfect leads, adding a bit of variety to the main lead, but without making the song beyond what we know. 
Making a balance between the keyboard and the guitars, this arrange fits perfectly on Satori battle, and trust me, to this point I'm convinced this song manages to beat Demetori arrange (yes!, you read it well).
And well, if you haven't herd enough, the best part comes at the end, but of course, I'm not spoiling it.

This jewel was released on Reitaisai7, and I almost miss it. 
So who are this guys? It's been a while since we feature a "rookie" that comes out of nowhere to arrange Touhou songs with great mastery. FENNEL SEED circle has 2 members so far, "adany" and "teekey". Both of them know how to do the job pretty well, but in my opinion, adany takes the crown here, and I'm already begging for more, since he is more fond to progressive metal than teekey. For those who are fond to trash metal, teekey may be perfect for them.

In conclusion, FENNEL SEED might be one of those circles that will blast us with every arrange.
You do remember IKUTO right? South of Heaven hasn't released an album that we haven't said "OMFG", despite of the odd taste that IKUTO has on the drums. 

Truly, a masterpiece in terms of arrange, music, and guitar.
We really hope we can listen more of FENNEL SEED in future events.

Thanks for watching.

Title: フラワリングナイト
Artist/Circle: 彩音 〜xi-on〜
Album: 

FRIESTA Online Event hosted by CROW'SCLAW
http://friesta.crowsclaw.info/list.html

Original: フラワリングナイト (Flowering Night)

So we are throwing a big party over here for 2 reasons.
First and most important, 彩音 〜xi-on〜 just announced new album for the C78.
The 東方志奏 6th Spell has already been recorded and we are all waiting anxiously to get our hands on it.
What does it feature? How does it sounds? Will 東方志奏 6th Spell fall into the vocal nightmare everyone has been up to?

Only time will say, and talking about time, let us freeze it a moment so we can discuss about this song.
So, many of you know already what this "Firesta" project is. Aside from demonstrating that Taka from CROW'SCLAW has a pretty bad knowledge of spanish (Im quite sure he wanted to mean "Fiesta"), this was an online event witch artist send their songs to Taka so he can publish then. So far, I cannot seem to understand the objective of this event, besides the broken google translation that shows:

"Post a music video game music arrangements, aims to exchange creators and listeners."

Later the project was only aimed to Touhou franchise.
So many artist did joined, we have A-HEAD with a wonderful song, witch has vocals and its reallya shame.
To my surprise, 彩音 〜xi-on〜 did uploaded a song (the one you are hearing of course). I didn't understand the objective of joining "Friesta", since it is one of the most famous circles.
Anyway:

"The event will be free from organized coterie regardless of pay, etc. There is no CD to do."

So in other words, Friesta is just an online DB witch try to gather touhou music arrangers with some songs in it.
I really hope it is that, because if it isn't then I totally missed what is the real objective of this event.

Yes, it begs the question.
"Does CROW'SCLAW uploaded something?" And the answer is a dissapointing no.........yet.
We will only have to wait Sakuya unfreeze the time, so Taka starts working on another Touhou Music Project.
And while she is doing that, perhaps she can speed up time, and transport us to "2057", where Godspeed will release his Touhou Music arrange album.

Thanks for watching.

Title: ネクロファンタジア
Album: Euphorbia
Artist: パインツリー
Circle: monochrome-coat
Original: ネクロファンタジア (Necrofantasia)

Ever wondered why pop/techno circles go for a metal work out of the blue?
Don't get too excited about the album, since this is the only metal track on it, although I must confess the pop/techno has very nice vocals. For undergrounds fans of Touhou j-pop like me, that aren't that UNLUCKY to listen BAD VOCALS ,you will love this arrange without a doubt.

Thankfully, we are on a metal channel, and it is already time we talk about the song.
Now, I will confess this isn't the best arrange out there, however it has parts were it really rocks out.
For starters, the intro is wonderful (finally, after so many videos I find an image that fits 100% with the song). 
It is really different from any Necrofantasia arrange we have herd. This mellow/mysterious feeling surrounding Yukari's persona. 

Yeah I know, the crunchy guitars on the back are simply...delicious!
You can totally feel the aggressive power of a low tuned guitar and some good distortion, and in a few moments you will start headbanging without previous warning. 
Now onto the arrange itself, it doesn't feature that many lead parts of the song, witch is perfectly fine for me.
It does feature the "chorus" and the charming intro of the original song, making it totally recognizable. However, many of the arrange is based on a personal composition from the artist. 

The keyboards takes a mayor role here, and we love it. The piano here and there are an excellent touch, and the strings have a very good EQ, making a great balance between guitars and keyboards.
Talking about leads parts, yes you aren't crazy. The lead parts is a 100% keyboard guitar. It is a shame that such a wonderful arrange, with a solid bass line, and a lot of crunchy riffs gets a keyboard guitar as lead. But it must have it's reason, I prefer that rather than listening to a bad tuned lead guitar that craps on the rest of the excellent tune. 

I am not particularly fan of drums on this one. They sound a bit "plastic", and that is because they are not equalized properly. 
Taka also uses "plastic" drums, but since he is a scientist of sound, he manages to make them sound very real.
I also hate the rythm pattern at the chorus part. Only God knows how much I hate drums under that pattern (triplets perhaps kssael?), and listening that from a metal fan is kinda herectic.

But I am a progressive metal rock fan, and I got used a lot to Mike Portnoy, so what can I say?

Great arrange, great riffs, points of for using a keyboard guitar if they didn't feel that a real one could match the incredible song. We do really hope this circle keeps making metal arranges, instead of just joking around on their techno/pop album.

Thanks for watching.

Title: 明治17年の上海アリス
Artist: MAC,緒川春
Circle: 月臥丘書寮
Album: 黒点回廊
Original: 

First of all, and most important to comment.
This China's artwork it's perhaps one of the most charming, gorgeous, lustful I have ever seen.
It is truly a masterpiece.

You probably remember 月臥丘書寮, since it was one of the very first circles I started to upload, back then were there was no HD option and you had to click on a "STEREO" link.
Lunasa #8 it's perhaps one of the most commented videos due to a strange phenomenon of Touhou favorites.
Yes, this guys you are listening are the same with that "faked" live album. To this day I accept it's a very good album, enjoying many richful arranges full of keyboard work and a solid guitar work.

Being 月臥丘書寮 mostly a hentai doujin circle, I thought they decided to stop doing music for the Touhou franchise.
However, thanks to KakashiMr wonderful hunting skills, he showed to me this album that I missed on the Reitaisai7.
As you can already herd, you may be wondering if this album is as good as the "live" one.
Now I must be completely honest here, and tell you that unfortunately I cannot enjoy the same joy with this albums.
Perhaps it's the fact that now we can listen to all clearly, since there is no "live" environment.

Into the song, as you can already listen, this arrange bears almost no resemblance with the original theme.
Sometimes, that is totally awful, but there are other times, like this for instance, were the work suits the job.
We have herd it before, IRON! from IRON ATTACK! enjoys to "borrow" the construction fo the original song and compose something over it. I'm not particular fan of it, however in this case, MAC (that I believe he works for IOSYS too) or 緒川春 managed to make an excellent alternative arrange of China's theme.
I assure you that if Touhou was meant to use only metal/rock arranges, with a fresh style, this would certainly suits the job.
Besides that, I was impressed of the arpeggios at the beginning. Nothing that Tokunan hasn't showed us, however it is always impressive to listen played on a guitar. 

Oh!, and talking about China's theme. You know this strange phenomenom were the stage theme overlaps the actual character theme? Unfortunately that is the case with "Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17". Besides having one of the most strange, but at the same time epic names ever (and the fact that it gathers ZUN's company name , and 2 Touhou characters in it), it is one of the most memorable and charming songs.
Without a doubt, it is a theme that is very underrated. I'm not saying "Chinese Tea" isn't good, however "Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17" is a gorgeous and well constructed song, using mostly pentatonic scales to give it's "Chinese" feeling. 
The song is charming, such as the image, such as the song, such as the arrange, such as the character itself, such as those incredible arpeggios at the beginning.

Lots of text today, if you are still wondering why I uploaded this arrange, with little resemblance, read the last paragraph again. 
China's theme is underrated, and I'm in a personal crusade (yes, another one) that consist in making more people listen this arrange. 

Thanks for watching.

Title: Mother Goddess
Artist: minami 
Album: 東方JeuXinTerdiTs
Circle: IOSYS
Original: ネイティブフェイス (Native Faith) 

Talking about difficult songs to play. Minami isn't quite the best to go around calling this playlist "metal/rock". I consider his style to be a little bit more "hard/rock" actually, however this doesn't take away the fact that minami is a crazy shredder.
His album not may not be on your cup of tea, however it provides a "gorgeous" arrange (quite literal) of Chinese Tea, that it was featured on the very beginning of the 200's. 

Besides that, "Native Faith" isn't the most easy song to arrange, neither to play. Only God knows what ZUN was thinking when he created this song, since it is a very big surprise after listening dramatic songs for extra bosses.
All of the sudden, the most powerful character on the franchise has one of the most cheerful song, that even some people may call it a bit dumb. 

Being that cheerful, and the fact that I have always considered the song to be more techno than any other genre, to do an arrange of this song always gives a suitable challenge for "metal/rock" arrangers.
However, minami decided to go for it, and it is the perfect evidence that minami is indeed one crazy shredder.
The intro of the song it is what it makes it all, and the fact that minami decide to do a little modification makes it all worth.

I am not fan of the drums here (once again Mr.PickyDrums here) the rhythm goes way too "ska" for my taste, and I'm not very fond to the EQ either. However, the guitar work in here is brutal, and more if you consider that minami is more a rock/pop artist for IOSYS circle. There is a nice variation of the song in the middle, that gives the arrange a nice fresh vibe.
Anyway, taking used to this arrange can take a while, but that doens't mean minami hasn't done a great work.

The upload today was inspired in 2 things.
One, that is has been quite some time since I uploaded a Native Faith arrange. And two, minami is releasing a new album!
Yes! I'm glad that IOSYS liked his work, and the very simple fact that IOSYS is being driven by rock from time to time makes my hopes to go high. I mean, how many surprises IOSYS has given to us when it comes to rock?
The best part is that he is releasing it at the end of the month, so we can listen it before the C78.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Power Hope
Artist: IRON-CHINO
Circle: Thousand Leaves
Album: GODS
Original: 明日ハレの日、ケの昨日 (Tomorrow is Special; Yesterday Was Not)

Remember my crusade (the other one, not the recent "China Theme" one) were I want an arrange of every touhou song up here?
Well, it was time for 明日ハレの日、ケの昨日 (Tomorrow is Special; Yesterday Was Not). 
Let's point out here that this song may have the weirdst title of all the Touhou music franchise.
If tomorrow is special, and yesterday wasn't, that means there won't be any special day right?
Think it as a donkey trying to eat the carrot in front of him, that it's been attached to a branch on it's back.

What does ZUN wanted to say with this title, and what does it has to be with the story is unknown for me.
Speaking more of the last stage themes, don't you feel they get always underrated? 
Perhaps the only one who has made it0s numerous set of arranges is "Extend Ash ~ Hourai Victim", from Imperishable Night stage theme. "Charming Domination" has it's fame too, and "Last Remote" has slowly make it into the popularity charts.

But what about "The Centennial Festival for Magical Girls"? Can you even name the game it belongs?
Of course, it's from the all famed Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. I know "U.N Owen was her?" is quite a theme that overlaps againts almost every touhou music, but it is a shame since the extra stage theme is really beatiful.

Anyway, returning to "Tomorrow is Special; Yesterday Was Not", it is a very serious song in the mood of every extra stage theme. Yes, nothing so dramatic as "Last Remote", however "Tomorrow is Special; Yesterday Was Not" adds a very serious feeling to the stage theme, when you are on your way to meet your doom, the extra stage boss. However in the middle you get interrupted by Kanako, the only last boss on the Windows series that makes a comeback after she has been defeated once. So there goes the battle againts the Gods, and after you are done with it, a cheerful frog hat girl comes into the scene with a very strange theme for the scenario. It beats any expectative you had about the extra stage theme boss, but some people can argue that this doesn't mean the battle itself is a pin in the ass.

IRON's arrange sure does justice. As usual providing the original tune but also using own compositions that make "Tomorrow is Special; Yesterday Was Not" a very heavy speed metal song. This upload was also to announce that IRON's announced it's new album. Looks like the highlight this time will be Eirin's theme, and after IRON's last effort, its an album we can't simply wait to listen.

Thanks for watching.

Title: Halfghost
Artist: warinside
Circle: BLANKFIELD
Album: Fast Forward To End of East
Original: 広有射怪鳥事　～ Till When?


What does a KFC bucket has to do with Touhou?
Nothing at all, except that it helped me to expand my musical taste a whole lot, and I wouldn't know what would be of my musican formation if it wasn't for him/it.
Alloe me to explain, as you can see there has been only a minor quantity of updates in the death metal or metalcore genre.
The reason of this is because I can't stand vocals of those both genres, not in Touhou, not even in non-Touhou music.
My metal formation has been more on the Progressive Rock branch, and it is an unfortunate that I can't stand groups like Opeth due to this "vocal sickness" I suffer. 

However, thanks to the KFC, I managed to understand that metalcore and death metal in it's pure instrumental roots can be very well welcomed in my cup of tea. I have herd previous death metal (or metalcore, so many genres now I doesn't even know how to classiy it) that is Touhou reletead, however it either contained vocals, or it was pretty bad mixed. When I'm talking about a bad EQ, is where your ears plea for rest of so many bass and drum volume.

BLANKFIELD was one of those circles that released a death metal (or metalcore, suit yourself) Touhou arrange album. At first, I was too young to accept the sound of it. However even if I listen to the sound now, the EQ is pretty bad (worst than the earlier works of Kokuyasu). Most of the guitar work is almost lost, and in a matter of seconds I was begging for the mute button. However I didn't knew BLANKFIELD released another album, this time with みょん from MyonMyon at the mix console. Now, some of you may argue it is still pretty hard to listen (and to stand) the melody in this song.
However, note that death metal or metalcore, or any other thing among those branches, are made like that.
Perhaps it was not a mistake from みょん, but rather the correct order from the composer in order to keep this album under its genre.

Sometimes in the playlist we go on the pop/rock road, and sometimes we will walk on the rough way of the death/gothic/core metal. Not always that is, but after all, this playlist is called Metal/Rock, and therefore building our self of a more perceptive ear is always we should hunt for, or at least, that is my very humble point of view. After all, what would have been of ZUN without a universal ear?

Title: Last Remote
Artist: 鷹, supply (?)
Album: Last Remote/Gliding with Feather EP
Circle: CROW'SCLAW
Original: ラストリモート (Last Remote)

There is no point on denying it. CROW'SCLAW is back to the bussines, or at least we have the chance to listen 2 songs made by them. Just when I thought this would be another Comicket without new material from CROW'SCLAW, this wonderful EP gets released. 
Now to be honest, I'm quite late on the update, since according to my reliabale sources, this albumw as released before Friesta even hosted by the same circle.

So what does this mean? A new album for the Comicket? Just a tease from our Les Paul Custom lover? An introduction to his newest recordign equipment? 
All the answers are still uknown, but let's think it rationally. CROW'SCLAW just released an EP before a mayor event, and both of the songs sounds under the same genre. It's most likely that this would be the event where new material gets released.

Talking about the genre. Yes, it isn't the crunchyness and agressivity that we are used to. If my supositions are correct, this would be something like "Frozen Frog II". Recovering his roots at southern rock, I bet the next album is going to be under this genre, except with better keyboards.

From what I barely understood on the booklet of the "Original Intention", Taka was very thankful to "supply", who helped him with the keyboards in every way. So this wonderful organs you are listening may be supply, and perhaps Taka has decided to leave the keyboard part to him, so he can focuse more on that guitars we love.

Actually this song kinda remebers me the originis of CROW'SCLAW, when it wasn't known for it's work on the Touhou franchise. You can found songs that sound very similar on the Fate Stay Night arrange albums or in the Raganrok Offline Battle arrange album. Perhaps it is the combination of rich full keyboards and wonderful chords on his guitar that remembers me this.

I don't want to raise our hopes up, but I refuse to deny Taka isn't releasing something for this event.
If it isn't, at least we could enjoy this wonderful Last Remote arrange, that without a doubt gives a total new perspective to this song. Mostly all arrangers go for the dramatic part, since well, it's a pretty dramatic song, suitable for the extra stage.
However, Taka has managed to create an arrange that it may not be that dramatic, but wihtout a doubt it has a much richer composition. As usual, turning songs into blues/metal (in this case more blues/rock).

Returning to the roots is always something good. To build a perspective under the retrospective of who you were, and what you are, in order to conclude if you have lost the path or not.
Oh, and the picture is gorgeous, perfect for welcoming CROW'SCLAW, one of the best circles out there.

Title: Judgment Star
Artist: minami
Album: Faithful Star
Circle: IOSYS
Original: 信仰は儚き人間の為に (Faith is for the Transient People)

As promised, minami album arrived very fast. First of all I would like to thank Moomar who kindly give me a copy of this album for me to listen and share.
First of all, minami isn't on the road of heavy metal. When you listen to him, you will notice he is more on the side of hard rock, or simply rock. However this doesn't take him the credit of beign quite a guitarrist.

In this album the highlight is what you are listening to right now. 
I'm going to be honest and tell you that this song differs from the rest of the albums. Don't worry, the quality of the rest isn't bad, and it all goes under the same genre. However this song has a more rich full composition on the lead parts, and a better constructed solo than the rest of the songs.

Nuclear Fusion arrange isn't bad, however, after listening other arranges, I'ts impossible for me to think it lacks of something.
However, this arrange you are listening goes way beyond. Such as "Gorgeous Guardian" impressed us for making Chinese Tea an incredibly gorgeous song, minami nails it again with Sanae theme, making this popular theme a really gorgeous song. Thus, the selection of the image, I wanted something that really pierce into your heart, and this incredibly image makes of Sanae a really gorgeous lady.

To this day I can't understand the popularity that Sanae has.
I mean, I can't avoid to feel she is just a "re-skin" of Reimu. I do like the idea of the antagonist of the main character beign something very similar and fighting for quite the same. And of course Kanako along the whole Team Moriya (I consider Utsuho to be on this side), is quite of my favorites. Kanako's ambition to adquire more faith as a godess is something way too evil and badass. And that makes Sanae a really badass character too. 
However to me, it is still impossible to understand why she got such a popularity bump over the last years, to the level that she can be considered now a protagonist of the series.

Cricle: Unlucky Morpheus X AQUAELIE
Album: Unbeatable Accomplice

Herd today for the first time by many, or herd already multiple times by others, this arrange was uploaded 200 videos ago.
Well, not exactly the same, but at least the "keyboard" version. 
Now 200 videos later, I present to you the re-arrange version of this song, with guitars played by Yuki from Unlucky Morpheus and Xi (everyone should remember him by Black Diammond X Bad Apple arrange) on the keyboards.

Even though the rough sound of keybaords back on the 50 video, I managed to enjoy that arrange, but many people did find a bit awful the fact that there where no guitars at all.
Thankfully to all of them, and to all of us, Xi took the right choice when he decided to release an album featuring some of his arranges but using real guitars made by Yuki. I have already share with all of you one track of this album, one of our halloween specials, however I was saving this one for this moment.
I have been waiting for this decision on other circles like "Sonic Hybrid Orchestra", however so far, Xi is the only one who has gone with this idea.

Back then when on March 09 of the 2009, I was amazed by the impact of Touhou music in our little wonderland.
I was very thankful to ZUN for all his amount of work, that to this day it doesn't stop to impress me.
Watching my life in retrospective 1 year ago (or 200 videos ago) is something really satisfactory due to the things I have achieved, but nothing compares to what I have felt sharing all this wonderful tracks with you.

After 200 videos, I'm very glad this community turn out how it is. How people post what they think. How many have burst into tears with Touhou music. And how members to this family keep joining every day. 
1 year or 200 videos ago, I keep thanking fro ZUN's work every day, such as every user that comes here and give a listen to this songs.

1 year ago, or 200 videos ago I thanked everyone for creating this wonderful community.
And to this day I keep doing it, because Touhou Music would be nothing, if thre wasn't this woundeful audience to enjoy this music, way beyond the limit.

As usual, thanks for watching, for this past 1 year, or for this past 200 years ago.

Title: Black Sky
Artist: IRON - CHINO
Album: THUNDER CONCERTO
Circle:IRON ATTACK!
Original: プレイヤーズスコア

How many arrangers you know that want to work with the game over theme?
Well that just shows you how IRON! is crazy about doing arranges of ZUN songs, or just a merely excuse to do a sound alike of the now famous piece Black Star by the Neo Classical "father" Yngwie Malmsteen.

Today's arrange was also an excuse to explain what just happened moments ago.
For those who were excited about the "Metal/Rock 東方 Touhou" and that managed to watch the intro/trailer I uploaded yesterday I'm afraid to tell you the project has to be canceled.
When I woke up this morning and I was going to upload the first video of this project I got attacked by the pink/red sign of youtube saying the following:

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by virgildonati.com" along with many other copyright infringement accusation. For those who didn't read the video description, Virgil Donati is the drummer of the song I used on the trailer.
This came to my as a surprise, because the song is actually uploaded by another user that clearly isn't Virgil Donati.
I thought that by using the song in my own audiovisual project I would respect youtube and artist copyright laws (hell it wasn't even the full song, it was edited by my own hands in my own original copy of ProTools). Using the song in quite more a constructive way than just uploading an image and the song made me think I was using it in the right way. I just wanted to promote other artists, and share music that is non-doujin. 
However, I guess this wasn't the case, and that youtube keeps an eye on some channels like mine.

Given the situation, and that I was planning to use songs by many other artists out there (Symphony X, Dream Thater, Yngwie Malmsteen, Derek Sherinian among others) I decided it's best to scratch the whole idea for the sake of keeping the channel alive. It's been 2 strikes already, Jill's song witch I have to take them down (leaving some holes on the playlist actually), and now this by Virgil Donati. 1 more strike, and the channel will dissapear.

Yes I could argue with Youtube or with Virgil Donati about why I'm using the song under legal terms (or at least, why my video gets deleted when others are still floating around youtube), however I prefer to keep my head down and continue with the channel, given that (and let's face it) I have been very fortunate of arriving till this point without being already banned.

Originally I planned to use this arrange once I got deleted and re-opened an account somewhere else, however what would be the point if I don't share it with all the people who has been standing out for 250 videos.
So, for the sake of the channel "Metal/Rock 東方 Touhou" is canceled, and we will continue our normal schedule and normal updates from today.

Thanks a lot to Moomar for all the help, video recordings and for beign volunteer in that "never-done" project.
Thanks to KakashiMr for all the support and suggestions he made.
Last but not least, thanks to you for supporting the project, I apologize to everyone for the letdown.

"This is the Game Over theme.

It's too lonely when the Game Over screen is silent, so I put this in.
Oh, how mysterious, it's even more lonely, now.

But why?"--------ZUN

Exactly ZUN, "But why?".
Thanks for watching.
