Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke, TH08

More Touhou. Fewer views. Took this whole week off for a break and finished this song up. Christ, I swear, whatever I do to this song, it just sounds so bad. And it's a true pity, too, considering it's my favorite melody ZUN's ever composed. I present a mostly completed work, but like the FF9 final boss theme, I just gave up after a point and am submitting this now. Damn it, ZUN, stop making music with ten different instruments all spouting out sounds at the same time.

I have not the percussion to pull off half the transitions; actually most of the transitions simply suck regardless, and make the tune sound really broken up. And I don't have half the instruments I want in the proper places (primarily the brass at the end). And the song can't loop well at all because it demands a gradual silencing of the notes at the end of the segment. Did I mention this song took some seven segments?

*sigh* Anyways, this deserves 1's across the board. But I've started looking into another Touhou song and it seems to work better for the most part, except one segment in the middle. That'll be a surprise to you Touhou fans out there, all four of you.

This is amazing! Mokou's theme is my favorite music from ZUN, it's so sad and nostalgic, and this catchs that feeling so well, perhaps because it sounds retro XD.

You did an amazing job on this! I can't believe how detailed it is. Silly me was only expecting the melody, but you have all the parts. ^_^ Its so awsome.

@Chibity Don't you hate idiots who reply to you without looking at the date of your comment?

@Avarion999 I made that comment two years ago, and Touhou has gotten increasingly popular in those two years. If I remember correctly, this video only had 2,000 - 3,000 views when I made that comment.

Dates, good to check 'em.

@Chibity Over 20,000 people is definitely NOT a small amount.

Sounds like it were from the pc98 touhous... But not bad
