Before you spout "This Saundz liek FLAN'S THEME LOLZZZ!!"
Realize that EVERY. SINGLE. TOUHOU. SONG. share the same core. They ALL have similarities, be it chords, patterns, or notes.You'll here Nue's theme in Flan's, Flan's in Youmu's, Youmu's in Cirno's, Cirno's in Suwako's, Suwako's in Okuu's, Okuu's in Remi's, Remi's in Satori's, ETC.
Now this song just happens to be a little more obvious than the rest? WRONG
If you even Listen to every other song, the similarities are strikingly alike.
@XxXFl0oD3RXxX I don't care. To be honest, I don't pay attention to their similarities. Never even noticed them. All I noticed as they each embodied their respective characters personalities, level, and the boss fight itself. One man made this, and it really isn't that easy to create a song that would "personify" a character.
Something I haven't seen yet that surprises me, this song or a remix of it used for the first boss fight in Breath of Fire 3, which is a Nue. It doesn't take a genius like Eirin to see why it would be, even if only somewhat, fitting.
It's a wonderful STG (ShooTing Game.). Famous for the songs, For the difficulty, for the characters... You can be a fan of the game withouth ever playing a single one. The ammount of fanmade games is incredible, too. But even more incredible, is the ammounts of Remixes of the songs. The characters however, are only girls (IMO, no problem about it.) The only male I've seen is Rinnosuke (From one of the Official mangas!)
Weeell, it's pretty obvious that it sounds a lot like Flandre's Theme. *cough* But it's only that general melody, just like with all the Title Screen Themes. They don't sound like rip-offs either.
The music-style and the feelings emitted are different too. Flandre's got this childishness and plain DANGER and Nue's something mysterious and superior (to me at least).
Yeah... I think both themes are downright beautiful and it just depends on individual musical taste, I suppose.
I don't know why everyone claims that UFO is the hardest in the series, it's the only recent one (Out of MoF, SA, and UFO) that I can consistently get to the final boss without continuing. Sure, the Lunatic mode is without a doubt the most difficult in the series, but...well...that's the point of Lunatic mode! In my opinion, the only game in the series easier than UFO is PCB.
@CzMDavid PCB is the easiest in the series for me, Yuyuko was an absolute joke as a final boss. Youmu was way more difficult than Yuyuko, and Youmu isn't even a very difficult stage 5 boss! I have absolutely NO idea what you mean by "UN", and MoF... well, hm... it was on the easy side. But I still find UFO to be easier.
@cjn1414118 If you have no idea, how come you wrote MoF (Mountain of Faith) as opposed to my incorrect MOF? :P
Anyway Youmu doesn't by no means qualify to be an easy boss unless you use the misdirection tricks on her non-spells. Yuyuko's cards are mindbending, hard yet fun. Both Kaguya and Eirin (Inperishable Night) have proven to be less of an challenge than Yuyuko and Kanako just seems tad easier too.
And I find ufo very hard mainly becouse of the effin load of items that flood the screen.
@CzMDavid Again, I have absolutely NO idea what you mean in that first part.
And anyway, Youmu certainly isn't the EASIEST stage 5 boss (personally I think that award goes to Sanae), but she's definitely the hardest main game boss in PCB. Yuyuko's cards (aside from her survival spell) were an absolute JOKE to anyone who knows what is going on, however, I do agree that Kaguya is easy, but Eirin...well, that one's debatable. I still find Kanako to be about the same as Byakuren, maybe easier.
@NikkiYume OMG SO TRUE i never paid attention but now that said it it's so obvious it's just quicker8O(well for someone that played Castlevania with Richter it's obvious :p)
This theme shouldn't be considered bad just because it sounds like something else. One should rather think whether or not he/she thinks it's good. It's like hating tangerines for being ripoffs of oranges.
@SarkenHS Nue was actually the first EX boss I ever beat. (With a LOT of practice, mind you.... and a really crappy computer. TH12 was the only thing I had running, and it was still at half framerate.)
@Zaephyer For me, the stage was harder than the boss... So i had to do a lot of pratice on the stage, and very less on the boss ( 2-3 try on the boss. 20-30 for the stages u_u ) Well, congrulation for beating her. :p
@SarkenHS Unfortunatly, my old computer died not long after that, and my new one... Odd to say, it NEVER lags. Touhou 12 went from not bad to hell for me.
Hey, i just noticed that the part from 1:19 to somewhere around 1:43 kinda sounded something like Devine Bloodliness, i hope i'm not the only one to notice that XD well... i guess not, i just saw a comment like that.
Yah, so anyway this is one of my fav themes Don't acctualy know why, but i like it =P
@yasemin33221 Indeed. They always have to argue about who pairs with who, this meme and that meme and what not, and general fan hate at each other. Just listen to the music and enjoy, like real fans do.
Yes, I am not the only person who hears it! Can't go wrong with Castlevania music, so loosely remixing it was a smart move on ZUN's part to create a creepy-sounding theme.
@OMGITSBIGFOOT It does matter. If you accuse someone and then tell them to do something impossible. Like look at a description that isn't there. (Which you recently added).
Also I Googled the title, and it just shows links to this video. Or goes to download links. Neither of which answer the question of what it is.
I'm sorry, but what? I've had that description there ever since I uploaded this video. Don't go start pulling shit out of your ass. You're either blind, or can't read.
@OMGITSBIGFOOT My bad, I made a mistake. However your description still fails to inform the audience whether vid is a game or anime. Which was the center of the original argument, and the first 3 or 4 links on google just link to your vid, which still doesn't answer the question.
@ItohKuni I didn't upload this for people who don't know what this is from. It's for people that know what Touhou is. I couldn't care if people don't get any information out of this video at all, it's not intended for them in the first place.
@OMGITSBIGFOOT Then don't reply to the comments asking for the info. Or specify that you don't give a darn instead of telling them look at the description or google it.
@OMGITSBIGFOOT Then what was the point of telling somebody that the song is from some Anime (Says you a some pages back)
You get somebody hyped up by uploading a song about something, which is Touhou's strongest point, people get into it because of the music, so your supposed to spread the Touhou, not give intentional fallacy. I don't even think I need to make an analogy for this.
@saijeehiguchi Like I said before, I uploaded this video for people that already know about Touhou, not to introduce them into the series. If they can't be bothered to look at the description or find out about the source material it's their fault, not mine.
@OMGITSBIGFOOT Yea, but that doesn't justify misleading somebody on purpose. Why bother to reply to somebody if your going to intentionally point them in the wrong direction?
This theme sounds like something from Castlevania. Which is a good thing, since Castlevania games always have had fantastic music, even since the 8-bit bleep era. In fact, 1:18 sounds almost exactly like Richter's theme, "Divine Bloodlines". ZUN, you take inspiration from great sources!
Dang, man... Some people don't know how to take a joke...
Could I have made it any more obviously a joke? (this right here is sarcasm FYI, communication is a lot funner when people understand rhetorical devices, but ever since text messaging and instant messaging became a hit, nobody learns about rhetoric)
*facerock* It's been answered a million times, but. TOUHOU IS NOT AN ANIME! It's from a really hard shoot-em-up game called Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object.
When I first saw her on touhou wiki, my face lit up and I thought, "FLANDRE'S COUSIN!" She has a nice theme song, too. But Flandre is still my all-time favorite character, and U.N. Owen was Her? is still my favorite touhou song. :D
Apparently ZUN has planted a seed of non-identification into this song.
(Did you know? Only in cases in which the affairs inside Gensokyo, he can use ALL abilities of every single character he has made, in this case it's Nue's.)
ZUN and Nue must be laughing at people who say this song as a rip-off of Flandre's or Koishi's, because this kind of claim is far from Nue's true form. Of course ZUN is doing so to protect Nue, a precious daughter of his.
I don't hear a resemblance to UN Owen here. Anyone with any sort of basic understanding of music theory would most likely agree here. The beat section in the "bridge" if you will is sort of similar, but that's something that's been in a lot of touhou songs. The melodies are COMPLETELY different.
I heard that Nue is older than Remilia and Flandre~
Heian is referring to the Heian period (794 AD to 1185 AD) of Japanese history (traditionally depicted as a Golden Age in Japanese History) and/or to a former capital city of Japan (794 AD to 1868 AD), 平安京 "Heian-Kyo", which is now the city of Kyoto.
Lets not forget about the weapon she's carrying, Flandre carried one too remenber? Her clothes are a bit similiar too (but i guess they are smiliar to many others like aya's or medicine's etc etc.)
Almost everyone in UFO had similiar designs to older characters, but i still love them all x3.
if you want to go that far then compare rumia to flandre, they both wear a dress that is nothing more than a palette swap for most of the characters, both have red eyes, blond hair and a red ribbon tied to the side of their hair. of course flandre has a few extras: a hat, crazy wings, snake-like spear thing... and im actually better at finding differences than similarities.
@neko3Noskire if youtube doesn't recognize this comment as a reply.
Not to mention that Flandre's stage, enemy-wise, is similar to Rumias (although much more difficult, of course), and they both reference And Then There Were None. (Rumia in Marisa's Scenario & Flandre's theme).
Ionescel: Very true. By the way, to me, the beginning sounds A LOT like beginning of Team Rocket's hideout theme from Pokémon Red/Green/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/LeafGreen.
And guess what? After realising this and searching for that theme, first thing that came up was ?v=Fzv5tzOrmmc (not that theme) And now compare Team Rocket female's clothes to Nue's... O_O
Looks like Hartmann's Youkai Girl needs to have a chat with Freud and themeenvy.
It makes perfect sense once you think about it. A nue is essentially a Japanese chimera. It's a hodgepodge of other creatures. Nue's theme is a hodgepodge of other themes.
Heian Alien sounds like a bunch of other themes meshed together with the most obvious being UN owen. Fitting, considering a Nue could be best compared to a Chimera.
I see what everyone is saying about the similarities but I like it. I can even hear a little bit of IN's stage 1 theme in there. Flandre's all-around insanity feels as such in her theme, but this one feels very precise, calculated and "in control", and I know nothing of this character other than what I've read in these posts since I didn't know the game was released yet until less than an hour ago
Short description: Shapechanger that likes to scare people, living of fear, planted the seeds of unknown shape, UFOs.
Also she's in the sinister group of extra boss music, like TH7, 8 and 10 being madly melodic (long appregios) while TH6, 11 and 12 are pretty much in this sense. Very often there are heard similarities in style of music on the different stages.
Indeed, it does sound like an outlandish and disharmonious U.N. Owen.
Now, don't get me wrong here, but, to me, it feels a bit out of place for a Touhou theme, something which is happening with other themes too in UFO. It feels more... techno. I don't know why is that, ZUN may have bought new synthesizers, but, looking back to, say U.N. Owen or Necro-Fantasy, you notice a huge difference. I hope this turns out to be for the better.
How much our happy, little series can evolve, huh?
Being honest Heian Alien and Universal Fire were really the only UFO themes I liked; I do really agree that his music is changing a good bit and I'm not all too sure what I'm thinking about it.
But I won't complain; I love this song alot, so in the end, despite my worries, ZUN managed to impress me again.
I like how he's changing his music style a bit for each game he releases. In my opinion, keeping the same style for every game would become a bit boring.
It's not totally unlikely he did. He often reuses small music bytes - you can hear a couple other tunes during the quiet piano bit, for instance... and the song progression and accompaniment for Hiziri Byakuren's theme are also similar to Suwa Foughten Field.
Very very creepy theme. It sounds more evil than any other Extra Stage boss theme I've heard. I don't see this song having any resemblance with U.N. Owen was her? at all, in my opinion.
I thought Nue's hair was short.

(Did you know? Only in cases in which the affairs inside Gensokyo, he can use ALL abilities of every single character he has made, in this case it's Nue's.)
ZUN and Nue must be laughing at people who say this song as a rip-off of Flandre's or Koishi's, because this kind of claim is far from Nue's true form. Of course ZUN is doing so to protect Nue, a precious daughter of his.

If you don't hear a similarity to UN Owen, then you are obviously hard of hearing. Awesome stand alone song regardless though.

They're winglike appendages. She has the power to hide her true form, so it's kinda like sending mixed signals to what she actually looks like.

I don't hear a resemblance to UN Owen here. Anyone with any sort of basic understanding of music theory would most likely agree here. The beat section in the "bridge" if you will is sort of similar, but that's something that's been in a lot of touhou songs. The melodies are COMPLETELY different.

I heard that Nue is older than Remilia and Flandre~
Heian is referring to the Heian period (794 AD to 1185 AD) of Japanese history (traditionally depicted as a Golden Age in Japanese History) and/or to a former capital city of Japan (794 AD to 1868 AD), 平安京 "Heian-Kyo", which is now the city of Kyoto.
So she has some background...

indeed it does with the way the theme is put together. BUT it's smoother
and her wings are also weird abstract shapes instead of practical ones, just like Flandres.
So we have the following for super bosses with freaky wings:
Flandre: crystals hanging from dark abstract wing shapes
Shinki: tri wings of what appears to be a hybrid between fairy and bat wings
Nue: tri-wings of red scythes on one side contrasting with blue wavy tails on her other side

Lets not forget about the weapon she's carrying, Flandre carried one too remenber? Her clothes are a bit similiar too (but i guess they are smiliar to many others like aya's or medicine's etc etc.)
Almost everyone in UFO had similiar designs to older characters, but i still love them all x3.
jorgesora 2 years ago
if you want to go that far then compare rumia to flandre, they both wear a dress that is nothing more than a palette swap for most of the characters, both have red eyes, blond hair and a red ribbon tied to the side of their hair. of course flandre has a few extras: a hat, crazy wings, snake-like spear thing... and im actually better at finding differences than similarities.
Neko3Noskire 2 years ago
@neko3Noskire if youtube doesn't recognize this comment as a reply.
Not to mention that Flandre's stage, enemy-wise, is similar to Rumias (although much more difficult, of course), and they both reference And Then There Were None. (Rumia in Marisa's Scenario & Flandre's theme).
Riolu7 2 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
my personal theory was that rumia is an astral projection of flandre,
after zun made nue though my theory immediately changed to zun being too freaking lazy on some of the designs
that one gag pic (zun teaches drawing) requires an update to cover palate swapping and a version for music (re)composition
(and another thing) Suigintou: "Hey Byakuren! I wanna have a word with you about that dress!"

Well I have an explanation ~
Nue's power is to hide her true form, and you can see what you perceive.
If you think it is Flandre then it is Flandre,
if you think it is Koishi then it is Koishi,
if you think it is _____ then it is _____.

Ionescel: Very true. By the way, to me, the beginning sounds A LOT like beginning of Team Rocket's hideout theme from Pokémon Red/Green/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/LeafGreen.
And guess what? After realising this and searching for that theme, first thing that came up was ?v=Fzv5tzOrmmc (not that theme) And now compare Team Rocket female's clothes to Nue's... O_O

Looks like Hartmann's Youkai Girl needs to have a chat with Freud and themeenvy.
It makes perfect sense once you think about it. A nue is essentially a Japanese chimera. It's a hodgepodge of other creatures. Nue's theme is a hodgepodge of other themes.

Heian Alien sounds like a bunch of other themes meshed together with the most obvious being UN owen. Fitting, considering a Nue could be best compared to a Chimera.

I see what everyone is saying about the similarities but I like it. I can even hear a little bit of IN's stage 1 theme in there. Flandre's all-around insanity feels as such in her theme, but this one feels very precise, calculated and "in control", and I know nothing of this character other than what I've read in these posts since I didn't know the game was released yet until less than an hour ago

Short description: Shapechanger that likes to scare people, living of fear, planted the seeds of unknown shape, UFOs.
Also she's in the sinister group of extra boss music, like TH7, 8 and 10 being madly melodic (long appregios) while TH6, 11 and 12 are pretty much in this sense. Very often there are heard similarities in style of music on the different stages.

youraftermyrobotbee 2 years ago
Indeed, it does sound like an outlandish and disharmonious U.N. Owen.
Now, don't get me wrong here, but, to me, it feels a bit out of place for a Touhou theme, something which is happening with other themes too in UFO. It feels more... techno. I don't know why is that, ZUN may have bought new synthesizers, but, looking back to, say U.N. Owen or Necro-Fantasy, you notice a huge difference. I hope this turns out to be for the better.
How much our happy, little series can evolve, huh?

Being honest Heian Alien and Universal Fire were really the only UFO themes I liked; I do really agree that his music is changing a good bit and I'm not all too sure what I'm thinking about it.
But I won't complain; I love this song alot, so in the end, despite my worries, ZUN managed to impress me again.

tokyorabbiit 2 years ago
It's not totally unlikely he did. He often reuses small music bytes - you can hear a couple other tunes during the quiet piano bit, for instance... and the song progression and accompaniment for Hiziri Byakuren's theme are also similar to Suwa Foughten Field.
But it's still damn good music.
