ZUN's comment: The title theme.

It's Japanese, because it's Touhou (Eastern). No, really.

However, it's not like the game is (^^;

This doesn't sound like a shooting game piece.

Furthermore, is a title theme really? necessary at all? :)

ZUN's comment:

The image of a midnight forest. As it's the first stage,

I aimed for something a? little energetic, so hopefully

people would get into it.

But isn't it something a little more comical and hectic?


Quote
ZUN's comment:

Not just this, but all the music this time is meant to

be light. This comes from an image of youkai in night.

...or, at least, I hope so (^^;

It's fairly relaxed? and a little silly.

ZUN's comment:

I thought of water and mist, and mixed an omen or two.

In many ways, it resembles the feel of older titles.

I don't? really know why there's a Stage 2 anyway (^^;


Quote
ZUN's comment:

I actually did think of a dim-witted girl for this.

However, I don't? know if what came out can be considered

bright or dark. The tempo is pretty fast, but...

Well, it's stage 2. (ha)


Quote
ZUN's comment:

I intended to make it more Chinese, but it didn't quite

work out. (^^; However it's still Oriental, because I knew

it would be hard to put Oriental songs past? stage 4 (^^;

It's more New Age rather than Fusion, I guess?


Quote
ZUN's comment:

A hint of Europe, mixed with game music. (a 2:8 ratio)

It's strange that it's not? more Chinese, but that's because

it's composed with the image of the French settlement in

Shanghai in mind. But, Meirin looks like she's not human.

Then what is she... (eh)


Quote
ZUN's comment:

From here, the? game moves indoors, so it's

composed with indoor atmospheres in mind. Its tone shifts to

something more ominous halfway through the song, where you

would normally meet the mid-stage boss.

Other than that, there's nothing special about this theme,

but really, it's not a shooting game piece :)


Quote
ZUN's comment:

Again with this sick feeling...

It's a dark song, without any light or bright moments,

despite its quite fast-paced nature.

It could stand to be a little less? heavy, as listening

to this piece could drag someone down :)

ZUN's comment:

A very mysterious song. Its unusual beat toys with

your sense of speed, sometimes seeming to go faster.

I was trying for a rock piece, but as I don't listen

to rock much, it's quite? possible that I have no

idea what I'm doing (^^;


Quote
ZUN's comment:

You can't have a maid without hard rock (j/k)

It's quite? driving, fitting for the second-to-last stage.

...Guess I still don't know much about rock (^^;

Let's just say it's poetic rock, done my way.

ZUN's comment:

The final stage themes have always been loaded,? so I made

it upbeat this time.

As the final stage itself is quite short, I made this piece

not as assertive.


Quote
ZUN's comment:

With this, I tried for a "This is the end!" feeling.

I didn't want it to be regal or ominous, which is? normal for

a final stage, so I made it Jazz-Fusion based with a hint of

loli... wait, that's not any different than normal.

Its melody is easy for even me to get, so I like this song.



Quote
ZUN's comment:

As you? can guess from its name, this is an arranged version

of the title theme. So it's also in a Japanese style.

Well, not that there's anything wrong with that.


Quote
ZUN's comment:

The staff roll has always been dark and desperate, so I

made it a bit more happy and hopeful this time. I think.

As the staff list is always short, I couldn't write a? long

piece. I could have made it more magnificent, but it ended up

a little dry. That was not my intention (heh)


Quote
ZUN's comment:

Sometimes it's Chinese, sometimes it's New Age. Why?

This is what happens after messing with my keyboard.

It's like an accumulation of my laziness. If you listen

closely, there are many strange rhythms in? this song.

In other words, my toy-box.

ZUN's comment:

I liked this one the best out of the whole game. It

depicts a devilish? girl in an Oriental and mysterious way.

Loli-tastic melodies like this are what I'm best at, so I

had a lot of fun composing this.

Nice work on making the topic but... I can't help but think that it would have been better if you just uploaded the proper OST or something, because YouTube is a horrible place to listen to music.

I would've uploaded the proper OST.
