well almost every religion i studied place a image of there god as a being of fire and puirity =-=(toasty) Pillars of fire, all consuming fire, sphere of fire etc etc... this song makes uthso sound like a god... well she did receive a message from a god and consumed a god X___X
We should consult the guy who arranges this song and ask the reason, but other than that it's a beautiful arrangement (and a nice breakaway from the oh-too-usual metal/techno remix of Nuclear Fusion).
@angelmutsumi: I generally stay away from the techno/metal circles, which are the pretty mainstreams ones, especially rock. Although I like rock remixes, I generally stay with piano and orchestrated compositions, you'd be surprised if you get around the place, you'll realize most of the touhou fanbase is more musically inclined than you think.
Some background which the picture is very appropriate for this song. Djedefre is the Egyptian Pharaoh who was the son and immediate successor of Khufu. He ruled under the title "SUN OF RA," Ra being the solar god. The title itself in hieroglyphics is a duck and little sun to represent the personal name. A crow seems much more fitting though. Well done, sir.
Heh, I kinda find it a bit funny. The song sounds like a Middle Eastern/Egyptian sort of song, and then there's the term "djed" in the name. I'm a tad rusty on this, but I believe the djed is an ancient Egyptian symbol representing stability, and associated with the Ankh and the Was. Kinda clever, even though I personally would call Utsuho anything but stable, in more ways than one.
Anyway, really unique and awesome arrange of my second favorite Touhou song, thanks for uploading!
-goes along with the music reminder crowd- for me, this reminds me an awful lot of the Ace Combat games' music. Which i love, such i love this song a lot =D
In a nutshell, It is about flying little girls fighting against ghost/fairy/vampire/lunarian/goddess/nuclear hell raven/youkai jesus etc. using magic
Here is a 3D rendition of what a touhou fight would look like: watch?v=lx3Tq0QLoOU
After weeks trekking through the desert, the black-and-white Fortune Huntress was beginning to doubt the tales of legendary treasure. She knew her luck had run out when she encountered the egal, radiant Crow of the Sun, reclined luxuriantly in a golden wheelbarrow pushed by a Cat of Deathly Countenance yet good cheer, fanned and served drink by a well-built Oni.
Summoning the last of her strength, she met the crow's three-eyed gaze.
Few millennia ago, there was a unknown Pharaoh. He - I mean SHE - conquered the land with forces unbeknown to any other human beings. From her palm, bright ray of creation could be formed - From the other palm, however, a fierce flame of annihilation could also be generated.
Throughout the bitter test of time, her power and might faded. Along with the legends she made - she disappeared.
And now - might she have lost her memories - she once again tries to regain her throne.
This song and some of the comments below (who Djedefre was and @hotwhire saying it reminded him/her of Yu-Gi-Oh) are making my brain hurt. I can't get the thought of Utsuho cosplaying The Winged Dragon of Ra out of my head, but I can't imagine it that well either.
Quality over quantity my friend. We can't always have our cake and eat it too. If he keeps putting stuff out like this, I'm more than satisfied with one arrange every 6 months.
dont think we would hav enough 2 look forward 2 if theres 2 much of these awesome arranges seeing there would be so much of them all the time. think thats y he doesnt make a lot of these arranges. ppl sure r telling me that in their comments lol
How empty it feels when one already has downloaded a song from the album itself before coming to see it uploaded on youtube, when everytime it was the other way around.
0:00 - An image of a vast desert appears in my mind, heat-waves distorting your vision slightly.
0:37 - Otsuho appears, hair flowing in the still, dead air behind her.
0:51 - She smirks and challenges you to a battle of strength. Your heart drops into your stomach; you know you stand absolutely no chance against her...
Good to see knowone dislikes it so far, I know kakashimr is a prog-metal fan and has the right to upload what he/she wants but its been some time since the old stuff in the old arrangment uploads :D
@FilthyReinfeldt That's because the music feels a lot like one of Battlefield 2's songs... Unless you haven't played BF2, then I guess it's just for the style.
The sitar would go well with a Parsee theme arrangement, I feel... but anyway, the build-up to the main theme of Nuclear Fusion is always what I focus on judging when it comes to arranges of this particular theme, and this was amazing in a very unique way... I caught vibes of Puella Magi Madoka Magica too (which is a very good atmospheric effect to have for a final boss theme....sends shivers down my spine)!

Correction : it's not a sithar. A sithar is actually India/Pakistani and products a higher sound than this.
This is a Turkish tambûr. And to be honest, this song doesn't even sound Egyptian. Its sounds Levantine/Turkish (because of the tambûr).
Nevertheless, this is a good song *thumbs up*

3:05 - Your heart is pounding, you stumble back several paces and land on your rear, staring up at Utsuho in baffled shock.
