I cannot disagree

Well, according to the popularity polls, yes.

yeah whatever

>Best Touhou theme
>Not Autumnal Waterfall

Not following you.

>>5220835
I thought it was Broken Moon?

I am ok with this. I remember 2chan voting for this, Native Faith and The Gensokyo the Gods Loved

>>5220846
The lastest poll I've read was Border of Life winning.
The Gensokyo I loved was around no.25

>>5220854

Hell yeah Border Life!

>>5220854

>3rd place (new) - Cosmic Mind
>etc

>>5220868

COSMIC MIND?

COSMIC FUCKING MIND?

What are they smoking?

>>5220854
That was a Touhou poll, right? Sorry I didn't clarify, the one I heard about was a game theme one, like, favourite themes of all time, top 100 or something. Septette was like in the top 20 too.

>1st Place for 2yrs - Septette for the Dead Princess
>3rd place (new) - Cosmic Mind

>>5220868

>Cosmic Mind.
>3rd Place.

what is this i dont even

>>5220868
cosmic mind?
what the fuck

What the hell, right? Cosmic Mind is way better than Border of Life.

>>5220897

All my hate.

>>5220897
Sure Border of Life should be number 120 and Cosmic Mind is 119.

>>5220882
I'm guessing it's the hype of the new game.

Personally I do like Cosmic Mind, I have a bunch of arranges of it that I really love, but I wouldn't put it among my top 5. But I guess it's to be expected.

I'm more about how some really good tracks aren't even in the top 30. But with so much music that gets to much attention I guess it's hard to make a poll that pleases everyone.

>>5220854
Which poll was this?

> Best theme
> Not Love-colored Master Spark

wat

Walking the Streets of a motherfucking Former Hell

The O-Life jp arrange might have something to do with this choice.

cosmic mind is one of the very embodiment of last boss themes, You can feel that she really is the last boss compared to utsuho.

>>5220916
The only one that is not "last boss-like" is Remilia motherfudging Scarlet.

Alice in Wonderland for 1st.

>>5220868
>#7: Nuclear Fusion
>#9: Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
>#13: Chinese Tea

Well, at least some of them appear to have a semblance of taste.

>>5220887
Im totally fine with this.

>>5220907

I know my tastes generally don't align with most Touhou fans- my favorite tracks are Fall of Fall ~ Autumnal Waterfall, Capital City of Flowers in the Sky, and Lullaby of Deserted Hell- but Cosmic Mind? Really? It's not the worst music ever, but it's pretty much my least favorite final boss theme.

>>5220930
>#9: Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
Why would someone want to listen to 13 notes repeating themselves in 6 mintues?
It's barely better than Canon in D

A video on niconico had a compilation of the "best" Touhou themes.
The songs were chosen by having 100 people who have never heard about Touhou (and therefore aren't biased by the characters) listen to all Windows Touhou music and vote for them.

Fantastic Legend of Tohno won.
It's also probably what >>5220886 referred to.

>>5220939
Cosmic Mind doesn't really fit as a final boss theme, you're right. But I think it fits as Byakuren's theme and the fact that she doesn't fit as a final boss probably says more about the protagonists than it does about anything else.

>>5220868

Septette for the Dead Princess and Border Life definitely deserve to be up there but... Cosmic Mind? At third place? Oh wow.

>>5220952
>Fantastic Legend of Tohno won.

Fuck yes.

Apparently primaryfags are just biased toward final bosses for some reason.

>>5220976
I think because of the boobs, you know, they do make some disturbances in the Force.

>>5220965


How did you find such a tiny Byakuren?

>>5220928
Yes.

>>5220976

I'm okay with this.

>>5220985
She was sealed away, anon.

Cosmic Mind sounds like something out of a mainstream rpg title

>>5220950
Canon in D is the greatest piece ever created in western music tradition, faggot.

>>5220952
Not really. I was talking about a poll that included video games in general, not just Touhou. It was posted on /jp/, when was it, 1 year ago or something, I can't say for sure. Maybe some Anon or some tripfag who remembers a bit better can find it on the archive.

i really like cosmic mind, it grew on me after a minute or so. theres a lot going on and it has a nice beat.

>>5220994
You didn't get it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM

Cosmic Mind doesn't even belong in the top 15

>>5220992

Also fuck you.
Canon in D is our generation of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.

>>5221006
I'm not sure. I was too polite to ask. Or do anything but effusively bow to her radiance.

Best Touhou theme

>>5221022


Should shake the bottle and wake her up.

>>5221022
I have a mental image of you kowtowing to a tiny bottle with a tiny saint snoozing inside it and I'm entirely okay with this.

>>5221031
Thought you'd bring up something like Hungarian Dance No.5
BUT NO

So enjoy your Remilia's badass theme song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtKCNJmARF0

Niconico has hundreds of touhou compilations, however, when I went looking for a simple one with all the original music in the order they are played in the games, I couldn't find one.

This is pathetic.

>>5221050
Then it falls to you, Anonymous. Make a Touhou music compilation video using the original themes, for the sake of all of us.

I'm the only person that likes Necrofantasia

>>5221069
>Necrofantasia
Yeah right. Probably the most popular song after Septette and Border of Life.

>>5221069
No you aren't.

Although it's a little heavy for me to listen to outside of phantasm stage, unfortunately.

>>5221069
I like it but not as much, cos I once turned volume max and was using headphone.

>>5221080

Agreed.

Bestest touhou theme

While we're talking about music, is anybody as good as dBu at remixes?

Most of the remixes are fucking heavy metal and vocal but dBu actually keeps the spirit of the actual songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_6mN0iYQuA

>>5221107
A very lovely vocal version of "Faith is for the Transient People"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFjfeng_8tE

Guaranteed eargasm ^_^

>>5221107
i gotta agree a little, tough i have to say the next stage theme is better., gets you pumped up for kanako

>>5221069

Necro-Fantasy was here.

Necrofantasia is small time.

>>5221115
Where have you been?
Living under a rock?
There are so many groups better than dBu that I don't know where to start. Pic related.

You can also try searching for SHO Love color master spark and etc.

>>5221129
Actually, Necro-fantasy is the small time version of Necrofantasia.

>>5221069
see
>>5220868
>6th place Necrofantasia

Last year it was 4th, the year before that 3rd. So yeah.

It doesn't matter. Bloom Noblely, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizore ~ Border of Life is still ZUN's Masterpiece for me

>>5221128
and native faith and tomorrow will be special is one real happy-go-by theme for an EXboss.

well I just search youtube for groups every now and then and haven't found a group yet comes close to him yet.

I will listen to any groups you think are better though. I'm liking Ascending Into Naught so thanks. Not heavy metal thankfully.

>>5221115

O-life isnt really on the metal side?

>>5221175
My second favourite group after Demetori.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaI1AkBOG8c&feature=related
Not sure if this is your kind of music.
It is not metal enough and not soft enough.

Nuclear Fusion is the most epic final boss theme.

I want creepy music, like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHXX0t00y2Y

The more it makes you chill, the better it is really <3 I'm sick of all the U.N Owen was her? that only makes you wanna dance Saturday Night Fever. =__=

>>5221255
Try this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q5KBm9hBog

>>5221255
Try this?

Has everyone forgotten Lunatic Princess already?

>>5221268
I haven't! Still my favorite 6th boss-theme.

>>5221268
yes

>>5221268
I think we discussed it already on the other thread. It has godlike intro but that's it.

>>5221255
How is that creepy? It makes me think if tea parties.

>>5221268
Lunatic Princess is shit.
Actually, a lot of the songs in IN are shit.

>>5221288
Name one. Just one.

>>5221288
I'd respect you opinion if you weren't such a dick. Also opinions, lol.

As for IN arranges, there's always this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q1ug5OjgKg

>>5221112
No love for oldschool

>>5221288
IN is home to my favorite 1st stage theme in the Windows games, though.

Mystic Square has my favorite of all time.

>>5221255
Try this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8zn7ZwhIHY&fmt=18

>>5221296
I just did.
Also: both stage 1 themes and the Stage 2 bgm are pretty bad.
Don't really like the Stage 5 bgm either.

>>5221199
Can't say I am impressed, it is not even Wave best song

Song related.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6lzg1sYZq4

>>5221255
Whaaat? Liz Triangle's UN Owen arrange, creepy?

The fuck am I reading?

>>5221288
I have to disagree, IMO Imperishable Night has same quality music as Mountain of Faith, which is even superior to Something of Scarlet Devil (again, IMO)
Though Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke is repeative but ZUN managed to use 3 instruments for it. (?) Lunatic Princess and Invisible Full Moon has annoying beat but the intro/chorus can already back them up. History of the Moon is pure gold, others like Love-coloured Master Spark can have no complains.

They are better than UFO's.

>>5221328
To not look like a total asshole, I can say that I like all of the Stage 3, 4 and Reisen's theme.
The Extra stage ones are pretty good too.

>>5221328
I don't really get UFO music hate. There's nothing in it I particularly dislike (aside from unarranged Heian Alien) and I particularly like Shou's theme, Murasa's theme and Murasa's stage theme.

>>5221311
>Don't really like the Stage 5 bgm either.
Woah dude, you have bad taste... No really. It's the best stage 5 theme by far. Have some nice arrange of it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HPKCgIDFg4

UFO have got some of the coolest themes, in my opinion.
I still can't hear the similarity between Nue and Flandre's theme. Heian Alien is really good, I think.

>>5221358
I don't hate them, I just think they're "normal" but people tended to overrate them, which is quite... annoying.
I'm implying that not everything in Touhou is not overrate

>>5221328
>>5221328
>They are better than UFO's.

I am not sure if you are serious but since music taste is subjective, I am not gonna insult you for this.

None of IN songs hold a candle with
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIidB012kqw
or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo4O4g0GfTE

Once the tempo kicks in with the danmaku its beautiful.

>>5221370
I'm talking about the originals.
Pretty much every theme sound good when arranged.

>>5221384
and some remixes KICK ASS

namely : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSbVgJ4bxrA

I don't know if you guys heard of this yet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhObC2AQhtY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4jWb6wW_OE&feature=related

Epic 13minutes Necrofantasia->Border of Life medley.

>>5221384
I agree with you that UFO music is better as a STG BGM. But I was saying as general music, which I listen to everywhere and everytime.
That's why UFO scored so low in my list.

>>5221384
Not the person you replied to but,
for me, Stage 4 and Stage 5 theme from IN are still epic-tier. Can't disagree with your opinion either, but goddamn is Kagome-Kagome orgasmic when mixed with the sound of danmaku.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bOia1EgdQA&feature=related

Septette for the Dead princess is #1 in the music poll.

Remilia is # 5 in the character poll, after the deadlocked top 4 heroines.

I think 2ch likes her, just saying.

>>5221471
This has nothing to do with the music.
Blame the arrangers. UFO is not even out for a year yet, just wait for C78 and brace for epic UFO arrangements.

>>5221482
>Kagome-Kagome orgasmic when mixed with the sound of danmaku.

Doesn't beat Love Colored Master Spark mixed with Marisa's Master Spark.

>>5221505
Not him, but C77 was filled to the brim with awesome UFO arrangements.

>>5221471
About that, I only play specific songs on specific times of the day or weather conditions.

For example, when it's really windy, I pop Wind God Girl and Suwa Foughten Field, when it's rainny Native Faith, Deaf to all but the Song at night, Cosmic Mind during sunrise, etc.

Sometimes, I like playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q3fy4Pdw3I while walking, looking at the tiles of the pavement. Feels good man.

>>5221505
No, not the arrangers, I listen to original BGMs.
Sleeping Terror as your alarm tune wakes you up 100% man, guaranteed.

>>5221512
Necrofantasia + BoLaD can. At least for me.

>>5221512
godmanit, and now i need to beat stage 4 because you put that song in mah head.

>>5221525
Oh. I wake up to that Iosys song that goes yi er san yi er san.
The high bass in the beginning and then when it goes yi er san yi er san is gurantee to wake you up.

>>5220868
>3rd place (new) - Cosmic Mind
Didn't know psychedelic drugs were that popular in Japan.

>>5221583
of course they are. Didn't you play YMK?

>>5221373
Heian Alien's main theme is basically an atonal version of UN Owen's "creepy" melody that comes in near the beginning.

It's a very different song though, anyone who calls it simply a ripoff or whatever is either trolling or dumb as rocks.
