Title: 悲しき人形 ～Waltz of Misery
Artist: M8
Circle: 神像彫刻家
Album: 夢幻戯曲抄 ～If.. you hope～
Original: 悲しき人形 ～ Doll of Misery (Doll Story ~ Doll of Misery)

Original description by ChaosAngel:

Sakuya's last video wasn't uploaded because of nothing. In fact the image used on the last video was because I liked to make a "VS" kinda thingy with this video.
I have to accept Yumeko's theme is one of my favorite theme out there. And I'm comparing it with all the Touhou gamesthat has been out, including of course the Seihou. Anyway, this theme is wonderful when you hear it on "raw" form, but this piano arrange caught me by surprise.

It's a must hear for everyone out there, cause there is no other classic arrange made of Yumeko theme so far. I'm waiting that soon or later TAMAFIA decides to do one, but I really hope they don't think on fusing with techno or other werid genres as they tend to do.

I have said this already, but I would love to see Yumeko VS Sakuya sometime. If ZUN ever manage to get the rights of the PC-98 touhou characters again (Don't start again on "ZUN need to get back X"), the proper game for Yumeko would be a game where you could play as Sakuya.

In fact, Remilia Vs Shinki, and Sakuya VS Yumeko would do one of a hell game. But, dreams are dreams, and they are meant to dissapear when we woke up, so let us focuse on reality.

I'm in love of "Waltz" musical form. The 3/4 odd way of "unfilling" an even number is what it makes the charm I think. Songs like this remember me to Suwa Foughten Field, that is also composed as a Waltz. I don't know if ZUN has knowledge of music theory or he just sits one day and start playing and moves here and there.

---------

Personally waltzes are one of my favorite kinds of styles in classical music, along with etudes.
A gorgeous arrange, and above all else, of a theme you don't see much of, then again in general there isn't much PC-98 love.

Thanks for watching!

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.

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.

[DeslikKarcasso]

@mstrswrd Sounds like quite the book.

[jslindsey93]

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

[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.

[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 :)

[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).

@mstrswrd

TYVM

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

[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.

@mstrswrd WOw can i see that interview? ty

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