【東方原曲touhou】幽霊楽団 ～ Phantom Ensemble

[Kokkaku7]

Oh hell, this song reminds me of so much death....

I hated them, yet loved them at the same time. O.o

[Sorflakne]

The images in this video belie the bullet swarm you have to navigate to take these wenches down.

[ShuyaTheDark]

@ShadicSpeed

Every time I play this game, I beat the sisters and end up with only 1 life left. Then "Oh, here comes Youmu, I'm dead"

[UltraSaatana666]

Merlin is pretty good at playing by ear!

[Nazuiko]

@UltraSaatana666 Why does everyone seem to draw her like that?

[DancingDruidStudio]

Should be played live.

Violin, keyboard, and trumpet ;D

[ButtaNToast]

Lol. People having problems with the Prismrivers? I scoff in your general direction.

However, Youmu is understandable...

Very understandable...

[hydrogen004]

ため息が出るほど綺麗な曲だ

[mariogamerforever]

i learned to hate "musical notes" with these sisters xD i can get trough most of there patterns easily but the ones with musical notes that turn into bullets i have to use bombs or else i get owned, the music is awesome i love playing trhough the game to hear this and other themes.

[AlienNoirePomme]

I think it's one of my favorite with " Mooned Insect " from Touhou 8.

It's quiet stunning because... it's a dōjin !

[mickchaaya]

...this song is like silent ensembles little brother.

[andregilfurt]

I absolutely love this song. And the Prismrivers. And the first picture in the video. xD

Lyrica and Lunasa's spellcards were easy for me, but whenever I tried to capture one of Merlin's, I'd always end up bombing about half a second before I complete the card. (It's that or die. and I'd rather lose one bomb than three because I died.) Extremely frustrating. The day I finally beat one of Merlin's, you can bet I'd be trumpeting about it all over the Netherworld.

[tadzioizdat]

By the way, where did you get that first picture with the 3 sisters? I really like it and i want it as my desktop =w=

[tadzioizdat]

this is the best of all touhou musics i heard while playing. It totally absorbs you into the battle and makes yo want to play that stage again and again and again... The primsliver sister's paterns are awesome, they're simple, but very efective.

[GenesicShinZyraelKai]

despite being a really difficult boss, the music really makes up for it... it made me play the game again and again till I finally get their patterns... only got around 60% of their patterns though... XD

[angelofragnarok]

As much as I love Alice...

This song steals my heart and soul.

[MeNotThatKindofOrc]

Hey, if anyone ever wants to get a picture in the videos just view the video in full screen in high quality, Press Printscreen, then go to Paint or your favorite image tool and save as png, and go to iqdb.org and you'll find high quality versions

[1337grenade]

That first picture is desktop background epicness!

[Kingofeurope]

If PCB Stage 4 is a difficulty spike, the Prismrivers are a difficulty skyscraper.

[wildliongirl]

they fucking killed me... FOUR TIMES! well, i was too busy looking at their pretty patterns and listening to the music, but still FOUR times! especially merlin... i hate dodging hers. oh the irony considering i love them :D

[RyuuzakiKaix]

This is perhaps my favorite song in the PCB game and definitely one of my favorite out of most of the games.

[RedRyukinRose]

O_o 1 person disliked this music???

[WarriorxSpiraltail]

@RedRyukinRose 2 people

[RedRyukinRose]

@WarriorxSpiraltail Im guessing you?

[CrestFallenIvyStar]

@RedRyukinRose she is my sister and she listens to this song daily lol. trust me, she was just correcting you ^^ if she does hate it, i agree, she fails.

[RedRyukinRose]

@CrestFallenIvyStar i was just kidding.

[JapanForSale]

Such a dramatic and action oriented song for 3 characters who seem so innocent and harmless. They're just musicians... right??

Anyway, great song, and even better pictures.

[OnixRose]

So I've never seen that 1st pic before but I want it....badly.

[halibonga]

resurrection butterfly the only reason i still cant 1cc touhou7 on normal difficulty, though i admit the prismriver sisters are also hard to beat

[Contaika]

I have more trouble with Youmu than the Prismriver sisters.

[bahamutrunner]

I do not know why, but this is one of my favorite themes, and one of my favorite boss fights (I have only fought them twice, so that is the strange part.) The 3 people all at once I like..

[somepartsareme]

I fainted when I first heard this in the game.

[RayDiTutto66]

Why does the song and the Prismriver Sisters remind me of the Go-Rock Squad from Pokemon Ranger?

[ShuyaTheDark]

I agree with Andreazor. This piece would be awesome if played with real instruments! Maybe ZUN gets an orchestra for future Touhou games :P

[Andreazor]

It's a pity all of this music is just coming out of a synthesizer. Maybe it's just my trained ear that reacts to it, but it sounds very boring when every instrument is synthesized.

[Kagirinai]

If you can't stand it that much then go listen to some stuff done by the fans. There is actual live music.

[ashkrou]

@Andreazor

I like the sound of synths in general, however those trumpets tear at my ears a little.

[7h3d4rkw0lf]

@ashkrou I've seen you before :3

[ashkrou]

@7h3d4rkw0lf

As have I, you.

[7h3d4rkw0lf]

@ashkrou Coincidence? xD

[ashkrou]

@7h3d4rkw0lf

Vaguely. :3

[NICOCYAN2]

Chen,Alice,sisters,and Yomu...They are very strong.

[spy3632]

@NICOCYAN2 you forgot about latty :(

[matteste]

Do anyone else thinks that these sisters might symbolice ZUN.

[j377yb33n]

these sister and suika.

one one side you have the epic musicians and the other the drunkard... yus.

[matteste]

@j377yb33n What Imeant with that comment was when he's composing. The sisters use the same instruments as ZUN.

[XlordchaosforteX]

no... suika symbolizes ZUN they both drink a lot :D

[JustCloudless]

HOLY CRAP THIS SONG IS SEXY

HELL YEAH

[SkyeAng3l]

If it weren't for this boss, maybe I could actually beat Touhou without a continue.

[orbmac]

@SkyeAng3l : I beat them pretty "easy" on lunatic. But thats just because this song boost my danmaku skills by 300 %

[BattousaiHBr]

@SkyeAng3l on normal mode you say... right??

[00720000]

リリカがこの中では良い

[outside0423]

相変わらずＺＵＮ氏の才能には鳥肌が立つ

[XephSlayer]

I'd like the marrisa one

[xDeathInFirex]

I want that very first pic as a wallpaper, someone send it to me. pwease.

[nyasuke1]

I'm sorry.

HDD broke and everything of each wallpaper disappeared.

May I cry?

[mshadow30]

do u have it cuz i want it too D:

[rollonfloorlaughing]

that first bow looks more like a sword :V

or maybe a fishing rod :x

awsm art tho

[WWWWWWWWWVVWWWWWWWWW]

Agh, the first boss fight that starts to destroy you in Cherry blossom x_x

[Kuzul]

Even the boss after the sisters was easier than them.

[PoisenMuffen]

very true.

[NinjaofSweden]

l would love to see someone play this live with real instruments xD

[XCandyjackrX]

Here's something close..

watch?v=GxUtAKPYmFc

[risingumbreon]

See, this is the kind of question that would be answered easily by RTFD. R for read. T for the. D for description. What? You're asking for what "F" stands for? Oh, you are a FUNNY little man, you.

[mosspluse]

no need to be rude.

[metroidmaster69]

No need to be retarded

[Smankh]

Approved.

[Eggmanlover]

I loled

[demonhiei2]

i thought it was "Read The Fucking Description"

[hikarisalterio]

They say the prismvriver sister were actually Layla's older sister..

[paprmastr232]

i wish they will have Layla as a special appearance D:" she can play the Woodwind instruments :o

[ArbalestModel]

Actually I think Layla Prismriver was a vocalist.

[hikarisalterio]

No that's Mystia's role... No one will dare to challage her except...

[ArbalestModel]

Check out We Are Prismriver. Its a neat story.

[lodwyvern]

I like this, flower mix and so many others including ghostly eyes

[SpiritOfKensei]

Even if they aren't my favorite characters, they've got my favorite song from the series. ^^;

[Aznknight102]

awsome song, awsome vid 10/5 gj

[chris2746]

The first picture is quite beautiful. Does anyone know where I can get it?

[ayorius]

chris2746,

1° press print screen in the scene of image

2° edit any image in "my images" and press select

3° click in the right button in the mouse and paste.

Well... that is how i do it. ;)

[chris2746]

Well, I was hoping for a source for it in higher quality than from youtube. preferably of background resolution

[Vikusen]

The music sounds awesome. Where can i find the pic that starts at 0:26?

[MiyuKasu]

Beautiful. Very Beautiful!

[malevolentmaiko]

The Prismriver sisters definitely rank among the top of my favorite Touhou characters. Not only is their theme song well made and beautiful, but the history behind the sisters was pretty interesting. You can look it up on tohou.wikia.

Basically there were four Prismriver sisters; however all four of them were split up. The youngest of the four, who stayed behind, used her powers to recreate her sisters' image and thus created the poltergeists

[santiagoff]

I always wondered if they're still alvie as poltergeists.

[mentaljosh123]

Yup! They're alive (if poltergeists are alive)and well! Their music is so un-earthly, if you aren't in perfect mental sanity, it could screw your head!

[Sondow22]

I feel obligated to mention that if you are in perfect mental sanity, what the heck are you doing playing Touhou? :P

[mentaljosh123]

Good point. But the guys in white say I'm ok! Right? RIte? Write?!?!?

[Sondow22]

Lex Luthor: WRONG!

[RonjaNoku]

To challenge our sanity with awesome background music, cute characters, and tear-jerking / fit-inducing difficulty. Why else would we be playing Touhou bullet hells?

[VileLasagna]

You are waiting for Lily White to appear and take all that from you

[SacredEdge]

This is my favorite of the character themes. ;D

[ocasioc]

Middle part of the song is so soothing. :D

[MasterAsra]

I loved the song, where did you get these pictures from, especially that one in the beginning!

[zodiacdragoon]

i like how the theme was redone for phantasmagoria and flower view. it has a more mellow sound with more of a beat

[goldenbird15]

i love playing this music load, sounds much better that way :D

[goldenbird15]

*loud

[RedX199115]

Exelent quality!!

[Gameboon]

I like the song and i have Imperishable Night (Touhou..uhm..9 or 8 :S?) but it's a shame i can't read japanese so i dont know the plot or characters :P

[merl0c]

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil is 6, Perfect cherry blossom is no 7 so Imparishable night is 8. I like Eirin's theme and Mokou's theme on piano.

Imparishable nights is about the moon princess Kaguya replacing the real moon with a fake one that never grows full, that's because the gate between Earth and moon opens at full moon, and the Lunarians are after Kaguya trying to bring her back.

The fourth boss Reisen is Eirin's apprentice and Eirin is Kaguya's friend and sort of a babysitter.

[HeartLessJilo]

I love Prismriver sisters' song X3

[KrazyCatQueen]

this is one awesome video! X3

[pikarikku]

Love this song
