@SoulOfRandomness I believe you're thinking of Candid Friend, which ZUN said he composed specifically so the listener wouldn't get tired of hearing it.
Haha, what's up with the mosh girl pose in the picture?
Anyway, it's a damned shame that the Aki's aren't more popular. I love autumn, the rusted color of fallen leaves, and this theme. It's pretty much the perfect combination. I think have the most sympathy for the Aki's out of all the forgotten side characters. Even Koakuma lives through Pathy, Mystia thru Yuyuko, and Keine thru Mokou, etc., but the Aki's are like purposefully ignored by everyone. So sad...
A god that loves people... I just really like that name for some reason. Maybe it fits with how modest the Aki sisters are, not really in the spotlight or anything.
but isn't ZUN's music also "music of today"?:< as far as I know he didn't make it centuries ago... many other songs are not about Love,Relationships,Sex,Bars,Clubs,Girls either
that said shizuha's theme is probably one of the best stage 1 themes x3
@tdFuse alright that's a difference... but it depends what people understand with mainstream. in terms of doujin, touhou is the most mainstream you can get considering that 90% at the comikets are about it. but around the whole world it's probably not mainstream. I agree what most people have been trying to say, ZUN's music never gets boring even after the many arranges. it always struck me that it's often video game music that is of such high quality and so original x3
@kotohime26 Also, a lot of people fail to realize that popular music has always been mainly about love/relationships/sex/bars/girls etc. (try reading translations of most folk-ballads from Medieval times). That's why ZUN is so refreshing: his music is just pure music, made by a guy who loves making music for music's sake.
@ErichFreidrichsburg I agree with the part about ZUN, I love his music as well and it's clear that he loves what he's doing. But for me it's always hard to pin down what "popular music" or "music nowadays" is. Because what is popular somewhere is not necessarily on other places of the world. Well I guess what's popular is mostly people's individual tastes...
At First I feel burning and tension but it was cooldown . just like....0:00I am charging my power....run,run,run,0:15jump and fly!dashing in mid-air with a unstoppable power field,anything on my way were definitely FUXK OFF in no time..... but on 0:44 was out of power and I just see Shizuha...and using a dagger to fight her.
man, all of the music from these games is epic. if only i had the patience to sit and download them (they take forever because of their huge file size :/).
Music nowadays is just distateful and the same old stuff all over again. Zun's music, I can listen to OVER and OVER and never get tired of it! Long live Touhou! X3
Which is why I never listen to mainstream American music (rap in particular.) Whenever I need music to listen to, I generally type in the name of the first Touhou song the comes to mind.
@RaveXanaike try to listen indie, metal, game soundtracks, or anime music, and you will find very interesting songs, but I agree completely with you Zun music is excellent, you can find in touhou music a lot of masterpieces.
wow i cant get enough of this song xD
