(PC-98) Waltz 東方 Touhou Unplugged/Classic 13

[jslindsey93]

i came back here to say: SCORE SHEET PLEEEEASE!!!!!!!! :<

[Marthyishot]

I loooove love love this song! Where could i get the sheet music for this? I would really love to play this on my piano :)

[YoungkayG]

trying to learn this from ear... quite hard ><

[SheHasNoFeet1]

Please someone make sheet music out of this! Or better yet a tutorial! ;)

[Bhikshu2]

Such a lovely tune. Refined, yet with something wild lurking beneath the surface. Much like anyone in Touhou who wears a maid outfit...

[Shintear]

@Bhikshu2 Indeed.  For Sakuya, at least, there is most definitely something lurking underneath the surface...

[technam]

Aaaah, I totally missed this arrange, I'm ridiculously glad it's back. Thanks a lot!

[DarkDurushi]

OMG.... Finnaly!!

I have been waiting each day for this one theme to come back!!

So much that my heart started to be filled with pain....

This is one of the most divine songs in the list.

Sad but yet leaves a taste of courtesy or something similar....

Aaahhhh its just really nice t listen to this tune again.

[OzixiThrill]

0 dislikes? I guess it's either too epic, or Yumeko got to them in time...

[Grahckheuhl]

@OzixiThrill

Oop, one person managed to bomb in time.

[alasanof]

ZUN doesn't have the rights to his own characters?

[WayfstrthnU]

@alasanof The PC-98 games were published by a company called "Amusement Makers", which ZUN worked for. He left the company, then started making his own Touhou games for Windows in 2002, but I think he ran into problems with licensing some of the previous characters (which were even his own creations). Ah, the troubles of licenses...

[SarkenHS]

@WayfstrthnU pfff... Licenses ruined everything... ( most of the time. )

[Asiis]

@WayfstrthnU So THAT's why only a few of them are back!

[UTAU53Yui]

@WayfstrthnU Sadly, a similar thing happened to Tezuka aka God.

[mstrswrd]

ZUN apparently has formal musical training in certain instruments, and in others, he is largely self-taught. I think his abilities in composing are also mostly just him playing what "Feels right," or at least that's the vibe he gives away in his interviews.

[Nochibou1]

@mstrswrd YEp but this is obviously not ZUN and he composes with the computer directly... mostly.

[mstrswrd]

@Nochibou1

Well, yeah. He mostly composes on the computer and with a cheap keyboard plugged into his computer. It's a cheap one because it doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to work (he actually said that in an interview, while showing off the room he programs and composes in).

[Nochibou1]

@mstrswrd WOw can i see that interview? ty

[mstrswrd]

@Nochibou1

Unfortunately, while it was English subbed, it got taken down because of copyright complaints. There is a Spanish one, though. It is shorter than the original, for whatever reason; but here's part 1. The room he's in at 9:07 is the room he programs Touhou in, as well as where he keeps many books on different world Mythologies, and a single book on Beer. It goes pretty in-depth on how the culture around Touhou has grown.

Here's part 2 as well.

[Nochibou1]

@mstrswrd

TYVM

"A single book on beer" He doesn't show his love for beer with books, rather with whacky spellcards.

[mstrswrd]

@Nochibou1

But of course. you are indeed correct.

I just mentioned it because it's under a stack of books; the stack was about 20 different books on myth, like "Common Chinese Spirits," and "Ancient Folklore of Japan," and stuff like that. And then on the bottom, was a single book on the world's 500 greatest Beers (if I remember correctly, it may have been 100).

[DeslikKarcasso]

@mstrswrd Sounds like quite the book.

[Kodama867]

@mstrswrd Such is the sign of a true artist. He doesn't overthink what he's doing, he just merely keeps attempting it until he finds that one tune that enchants us as players and listeners of ToHou.

[xXTouketsuXx]

Yumeko's Theme Vs. Sakuya's Theme?

Interesting...

[necorelli]

FINALLY, this one is back! This was my favourite song on the entire playlist.

[YtseJam214]

@the description, ZUN definitely has knowledge of music theory. His music is WAY too complex and layered to just be random. Also, I'm pretty sure he was a composer before he was a game designer.

[MaavBR]

I rofl'd @TAMAFIA.

[BlazinShin]

GODLIKE

[doompoopoo]

didnt like it at first but it grew on me

[ParanoidNEET]

Waitwut.

This one was on this playlist too? I thought I found it first on Naturalistick's channel...

...In any case, not too sure how I didn't catch this on my first view through the playlist o___0

Nice arrange, by the way.

[Shadow45X]

Woo I love this one.

Glad it's back

[WayfstrthnU]

This sounds so regal, like it came straight out of a ballroom. Man, if only M8 did more piano arranges in his circle's albums

[TheSleepingTerror]

*puts this song into the YT-playlist and dances waltz with herself*

[PWNZORRRRRRRR]

FUCK YEAH THIS IS BACK

[00Morm00]

This was one of my favorite among Chaos uploads.

Thanks for re-uploading it.

[HoboWidaLaptop]

oh wow...i love intricate piano arranges

i really wish i could play this :P

[SisforSachiel]

I want to say that ZUN does have at least some knowledge of music theory. I was looking at sheet music for Immortal Smoke one day, and he was following correct chord order throughout the entire thing and even followed correct rules of minor chords. I'm sure there's plenty of times where he doesn't follow typical voice leading rules, but he seems to at least be aware of them.

[sarapovas]

Exquisite!I'm looking forward for more videos from you :D

[westtxtapper]

Very beautiful. Could very well fit among masters like Chopin or Liszt.

[moneraa]

I LOVE IT.

[EvilKittyChan]

Thankyou for the upload Kakashi! :D

[Chibiharlz101]

Downright beautiful! thanks for uploading it :)
