I can't remember who did the songs for those but it seems likely.
Gametal was okay even if covering songs from all sorts of games made Touhou uploads infrequent. I didn't go for the other two though. When they were new I liked RichaadEB's but the longer I listened, the more they all started to sound the same. Now I avoid them because I know what to expect.
There was this Chaosangel guy a while ago and he had a whole playlist of rock covers which was full of winners, it was a pretty good way of finding new circles.

Yeah, Gametal is more of a general coverer and he's only done a handful of 2hu songs. The ones he did do are great though. RichaadEB's covers actually variate quite a bit from the originals so you might want to check some of the newer ones out to see if your opinion on it might change. I'll have to check out the chaosangel guy. Is his channel still up?

Looked it up. 15's ReimuA has two shot types so they don't force you to use homing shots, the guy in the video went into slow mode and fired down the middle. Beat the spellcard pretty fast.

Do you have a link that I could see?

Oh well that works too. All the characters meet, final boss gets to look good in the process. Kind of reminds me of how Blazblue CS had all the arcade routes being the final boss constantly rerolling the timeline and getting the wrong results.

lol that sounds pretty funny. What happens to the final boss? Did the protagonists figure it out?

I like Pocket Watch a lot. It's a weird sounding song. And you're in a weird place when it's playing. Not crazy about Luna Dial, but I have heard some arranges that up the intensity. Flowering Night is just one of those songs we've all accepted our fate on. It's going to be in every other Touhou video, like it or not.
Reisen's theme always makes me think of the fight. It's just kind of tedious and all the while the song's taking its time getting to that one part. It's not like you can sleepwalk through the fight either.
I think Shou's boss theme works best when you're new or trying for your first 1cc. It's going for a threatening sound and that works when that the big green spinning bars come out and you don't really understand how they work yet. Personally, I think Nazrin is the worst case of stage theme > boss theme in UFO.
While I was watching the 15 video from earlier I watched that game's stage 5 too. LOLK stage 5 > boss 5.

I just like Lunatic Eye's main riff a lot. I think it's very touhou-ey. She has a very good remix in ULIL too.
My problem with Shou is that her theme just sounds like a wild/generic trainer Pokemon battle. They're fine for Pokemon but I generally expect more elegant themes and catchier melodies from ZUN.
Lol UFO's stage 1 is one of the best stage 1 themes so that's to be expected. I could hear it in my head instantly despite having not heard it in years. I just went and checked Nazrin's theme but I don't think hers is that bad though. I think Shou and Nue's stages are much better than their boss themes. I really like Romance in the Sky while I've mentioned I'm not very fond of Nue's theme at all.

Yeah rainbow UFO invasion is messy, even with the OP exploding frogs. Props on getting the last one though, my eyes used to break after looking at it for too long.

I think Nue's final card isn't as eye breaking as Byakuren's final card. My memories are coming back and I recall actually getting a bit woozy trying an entire hour with the spell practice patch to capture it while I caught Nue's final card in 10 or so minutes.
