(PC-98) 東方 Touhou Unplugged/Classic 105

Title: 東方妖恋談
Album: 東方阿漕宴
Artists: バンビ & 2段階右折の人
Circle: Forest306
Original: 東方妖恋談 (Mystic Oriental Love Consultation)

Forest306 came back in this Kouromu/M3, providing us with their (as always) awesome acoustic love. And they don't fail to deliver some of the best acoustic Touhou tracks around. Expect some other tracks from this wonderful album (especially that PCB medley).

Also, most of you people might ask why this song is a "PC-98" track. Well it is, Mystic Oriental Love Consultation is Reimu's "other" theme that is best known in the fighters. But, the song was originally her theme in TH03, Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. Y'know, the "PoFF"-like game.
Here's the original:

And here's the arrange by ZUN, U2 or NKZ, don't ask me who, but I believe the IaMP version is by NKZ, and the SWR by U2/ZUN:

It's amazing what you can do with 2 of the most basic instruments in our repertoire of musical instruments. The song is arranged with just a piano and an acoustic guitar, yet, it sounds so... amazing. You don't need fancy instruments to make beautiful instruments, take TAM for instance, he just uses a piano and violin, yet it sounds so breathtaking.

I also uploaded this arrange with this image to recover a bit of the confidence UFO made me lose in the main character of our Touhou franchise. Guys, even if she acts like a bitch, she's still our main character, since the very first game.

For those who are a bit disorientated by the numbers, KanakoxBach was 104, the Phantom video was 103 and this is 105. The Halloween video is "U.N.Owen" so the number is "Unknown".

Thanks for watching!

It's been revealed in a commentary by ZUN that the reason Reimu was acting the way she was is purely due to selfishness. She seriously gets NO donations. Marisa B is apparently the canon ending, so we can skip the Fantastic Racism bit, but Reimu most definitely wanted a bit of that treasure ship.

Turns out there's no treasure. I'd be a PO'd miko, too.

this is so amazing... make me think of happiness and paradise

@Nordlys Haha, take it from a guy who plays guitar, that's just a scratchy string bro ;) And sure, while that was slightly more pronounced, you can hear 'em bit by bit throughout the whole song.

[Nordlys]

I really doubt that's what it is. There's no tricky stuff going on there in the first place. It's a really weird sound also. The one at 1:30 sounds more natural.

[OminaeYu]

That's actually just "fret noises", which happens when you move your fingers along the strings of a guitar while playing.

[OminaeYu]

Perfect.

[Nordlys]

Sounds like a corrupted file at 1:44 ;(

Soothing song. Not too calm, but nice and relaxing. The accompanying piano sounds great, albeit a bit simple. The strings remind me somewhat of Traverse Town in Kingdom Hearts at the end.

You mean TWO mikos, including Sanae B. :)

[ElMisionero96]

Oh my, I love it! :O

Really appealing and charming, magnificent.

Piano + Acoustic Guitar = Perfection :D

[Asiis]

Yeah. UFO was weird.

I mean, when you're rooting for the Boss you're currently fighting you know something went wrong somewhere.

In fact, I believe that most of my defeats against Byaku were betrayals from my subconscious... like I said, weird.
