(PC-98) Vessel 東方 Touhou Unplugged/Classic 147

Title: 星の器 - Casket of Star
Artist: kiyoma
Circle: Golden City Factory
Album: 東方花歌暦 -2010-
Original: 星の器　～ Casket of Star (Vessel of Stars ~ Casket of Star)

Request filling time, and some pretty old requests at that. Requests from back in the PC-98 compilation. I got like 5/6 requests for Casket of Star, Marisa's PC-98 theme, but at that time I didn't have anything that groundbreaking so I didn't put anything up, but now. Don't worry everyone, I want you all to know that if you have sent a PM and I haven't answered it must be that I just forgot to respond, but do not worry, I have read every single one of the requests you have sent me, as long as they are PMs I will be able to keep track of them (as long as Youtube doesn't delete my inbox again). I will take care and try to fulfill all the requests you guys send me, even if they sometimes seem impossible.

I downloaded this album on a whim, the cover art wasn't all that nice at all (way too moe-moe for me to expect anything like this, and let's face it, the cover art is very important in attracting people's attentions) and most of the album was pretty boring techno stuff, until track 10, I swear I fell off my chair when this arrange reached my ears. What can I say? I know Golden City Factory, and know of the fact that they are good arrangers, I'll admit I also like some of their techno songs, their jazz songs are great and they do have some orchestral potential, from what I've heard in the past, but I'll admit I was not expecting something like this.

For those who have not played the PC-98 games, you should at least know that Marisa was originally a villain, servant of Mima. Thus she inevitably has a sort of "evil" side to her. This is her theme from TH4, Lotus Land Story, it's also one of the "better known" PC-98 themes. Mostly made popular by the fact that it was Marisa's theme in SWR, a rockish arrange done by U2 and ZUN.

It's a very good arrange, it's not "JUST" an orchestral cover, it also adds a certain flare, the choruses, the chanting in the middle and the presence of organs, I'll admit it's very original as far as orchestral arranges go. Now we know that if Golden City Factory wants and if they pump up that orchestral engine of theirs, they can make some solid stuff, keep up the good work guys (and, hopefully, try to release more stuff like these).

Btw, I found this in a C77 album, but it supposedly was released earlier, not sure about this, but might be so. Also, guys, I got some of TAM's new albums, and they contain some gorgeous arranges, look forward to some good stuff (and 85centimeters stories, if possible) in the next uploads.

Thanks for watching!

Marisa is a Badass

[fhqwhgads7]

This upload makes me think of an Ikaruga/Touhou crossover that stars Team Malice, with Marisa covering polarity black and Alice polarity white. So dang awesome.

[Miyuyuko]

I know it from Touhou Pocket Wars xD

[DaikoruArtwin]

This is the reason why I started to seek remixes of even songs I didn't particularly like. For that even for those musics, such BEAUTIFUL MUSIC have also been made! Musics soooo beautiful none of the musics I gathered in the 10 or so years before I've known Touhou can compare to!

That's a face I'd never expected to see on Marisa's face.

"Hmm I think I might have added his to my favourites a while back. Whatever, fuck it lets add it again"

I searched Casket of Star Jazz Cover, but I come here by a mistake... Best mistake ever *-*

[mrxai658]

OMG its alice O_O

[Allycat101010]

Completely unrelated, but I actually really like the picture. Alice looks rather intimidating. She's usually shown all Moe-y, but this picture makes her look like the creepy puppetmaster she is.

[WxIxZEGUY]

At first glance, two strong and intimidating women. But, more attention to their faces reveals... something else? Indecision on the right girl and.. something else on the left. What so say to that, and is it a metephore..? Or sloppy artwork.

You decide *stereotypical point*

[RaginKavu]

This is just so bloody awesome... nothing I could write woul'd do it justice...

marisa's eyebrows.. something about them.
