I hear nothing but "Oh there's such good music" about Touhou, a subject of which I know nothing except that the main characters all have hats and ruin MPFC contests with vague powers. I'd like to hear some of this fantastic music for myself.

Not that this is necessarily a collection of the best themes, just ones that jumped to mind first or were immediately available on "related links".

As for the everything else about Touhou, it's a Japanese bullet-hell SHMUP where basically all the characters are magical little girls (excepting a punching cloud and a flying turtle). Here's what the actual games look like:



The plot tends to be completely ridiculous.

There are also internet memes, which trend heavily on the obnoxious side, but are sometimes catchy; a few examples:

this is inaccurate, maybe like 10% of the touhou fanbase actually plays the games, most of them are just creeps obsessed with little girls, it's basically the sonic fanbase if the sonic fanbase somehow got even worse

Touhou music's really amazing when it comes to arrangements. It's not difficult to find considering the countless amount of Doujin circles around.

Might as well post one here.

I really enjoy the music, but it's at it's best when you hear them in game. When you're that focused and you're not actively paying attention to the music, it sorta weaves itself into the gameplay. I'm not describing it well, but yeah.

this sounds like a bit of an overstatement. there are a good portion of people who enjoy the music but don't play the games and a good portion of people who enjoy the characters but don't play the games, but I'd say music-only fans are the majority and I doubt 90% of all touhou fans are pedophiles that don't even play the games.

personally I'm a fan of the gameplay first, music second. I usually fastforward through the ingame conversations because I don't care about the story or characters at all.

yeah I don't know about the rest of the fanbase, but I don't think the b8 fanbase is like that. I discovered the music from one of those crazy japanese mcdonalds things on youtube and the more I listened to it, the more I liked it. I play the game too. They're fun and addicting but I'm not really that good at them. I'm pretty sure a decent amount of the b8 fanbase plays the games too. The characters are also actually interesting because the guy who makes the games drinks a lot so you can tell by the dialog and his descriptions of the music tracks that he's probably pretty intoxicated when he makes the games. I just write off the whole "every character is an adolscent girl" thing as the games being Japanese and that's just how they roll over there >_>

probably an exaggeration, I myself fall into that category of liking zun as a composer and not really being into the rest of it, but the fanbase still frequently creeps me out

I mostly just like the arrangements. I've played a few of the games, but I'm pretty terrible at them so I don't anymore.

ChaosAngel's channel has quite a lot of rock/metal arrangements that I am fond of.










All of those are great.

I've heard some amazing music, like seriously jaw dropping music described as being in the "Touhou circle" or part of the Touhou project. I don't really get if this is a band, music lifted from some old windows games or music inspired from those games. halp plox

Probably arrangements of Touhou themes, which is to say, video game music from the Touhou series of games. The 8 I posted, and most of what's been posted in this topic, are of that sort. The rest is the original game music itself.

Touhou itself is a series of shump/bullet hell games. You go through six increasingly difficult stages, dodging bullets and killing the enemies.

is a good watch to grasp the basics.

(The reason the music is discussed so much is because there are tons and tons of arranges - seriously, there's a torrent that supposedly contains "all" of them and it's a bit more than 1 TB in size. On top of that the music's just good <_<)

I'm one of the people who love Touhou just for the music and pretty much nothing else. The games were fun from what I had played but finishing them I found to be too much of a time investment for whatever satisfaction it would have given me.

But the series seriously has some immensely catchy stuff, it's just fun to listen to and yeah it does work a lot better in-game, I'll admit.



^This is such an amazing rendition of one of my favorite songs in the series. I almost always prefer the originals but this is just excellent.

A lot of the best original stuff was already posted though like Nuclear Fusion. But here are some of my other favorites:

So I'm curious: which Touhou is considered the "best" from a technical perspective? The Subterranean Animism review by metroid composit was pretty compelling, but I don't know if everyone feels the same way. I'm partial to Imperishable Night myself.

I have no idea what game is "technically" the best (or even what the criteria would be for that). I know I'm not a big fan of the bomb/power system in SA and MoF, because I only try to cap difficult cards in-run if I'm out of bombs, and if I'm at min power then it's very unlikely to happen.

My favorite is Imperishable Night, but not because of technical merit -- it was my first Touhou game and I'm much better at it than any of the others.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the superior bomb system in Touhou 10/11, as well as the huge bomb window in Imperishable Night and the technical defects of certain spellcards and bullets in MoF. But I was wondering about more technical stuff, like which scoring system is the best, which spellcards are the best-designed (if we can even determine that), etc.

touhou music is pretty good stuffs. i will probably never get around to playing the games (though i have played a few in the same style)]

*tags topic to see what he has not listened to*

I would recommend finding the OST's so you can get an idea of what the main tunes are that get arranged so beautifully...and if you find a circle you like the style of, try and find everything they have and have many eargasms.

"Technically" speaking, the newer games are going to be more polished than the old ones on general principle. Spellcard design is pretty much entirely opinion. Scoring system, in general, doesn't change from game to game.
