Wizardry of 西方 Seihou Unplugged/Classic 35

Title: 白銀のダンスフロア (Silver Dance Floor)
Artist: sisimai-3go
Circle: ししまいブラザーズ (Sisimai-Brothers)
Album: 東方冬風雪灯
Original: 魔女たちの舞踏会 (Dance of Witches)

When you get 2 requests for the same track, it means that an arrange of it has to be uploaded ASAP.

So, what's the dig behind this track you ask? Well here's the story:
You all know about the Seihou series and the small amount of Touhou related tracks there, right? Well, Witches' Ball ~ Magus is one of them. So, time passes, and ZUN feels the urge to rearrange one of his own tracks, with the help of his little friend U2. And thus they rearrange it, and add it in the OST of IaMP, renaming it "Dance of Witches".
The two major differences in the songs can be seen here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1QPo6AEHzc (Dance of WItches, IaMP version)

As you can tell the major differences are in the intro, the IaMP is a more upbeat version, fitting for a fighting game.
And, a ZUN comment:

"Marisa's theme in the night.
I also call it ... "The song where I eventually lost the original idea through continual remaking: Part 1"."
-Translated by Touhou Wiki

That aside, I love the Sisimai-Bros, but well, a lot of their stuff can be considered more covers then arranges, but they feature some pretty amazing piano work, some of the best around.

As you can tell by now I really like these "Night + Character" pics, they really fit a lot of the classical arranges around and, hoho, this one is no exception.

Anyways, please, comment, and tell me what you think about it.

Thanks for watching.

did you obey the comment I made in the last video? BECAUSE I LOVE THIS SONG! if Merlin keeps going like this, you're going to have tons of dedicated fans worshiping you. ChaosAngel couldn't have made a better choice by picking you.

[KakashiMr]

Lol, well "obey" is a bit too much, I got another request asking for this theme so, I decided to up this.

Thanks for watching!

You know, now, actually, that I've thought about this... I realize why I love this arrange so. The Witches' Ball was the first song by Zun that I had ever taken a liking to... I had heard others, but they were mostly just skipped over. This one had a certain...magical quality to it, though, and even though it's not what really got me into Touhou, it still has that charm to it that I so dearly love.

Holy crap, how the hell did I miss this upload?

Thank you so much for uploading my favorite theme for Marisa <3

5/5 and added to favorites

[AkumetsuLord]

@NeoTomoyakun I already know about that, i mean Official

[NeoTomoyakun]

@AkumetsuLord There is a Touhou Anime =) Fanmade I guess, judging from the quality, but I like it as much as the game. watch?v=NiACjYkZohU

@Ilamarea To elaborate on the previous commentor's comment:

The picture is fan-art portraying the magician Marisa Kirisame from the Bullet Hell-style doujin shooting games series Touhou, made by Oota Jun'ya or ZUN. The music is also a fan-remix of a song from the same series, although as you can read from the description that too is in fact a remix of a song from another game series that he has made.

In other news, there's no need to be rude to people asking if Touhou is an anime.

[AkumetsuLord]

@Ilamarea ugh, not an anime its from the Bullet Hell Series, Touhou. Not every picture like this has to be from an anime (even though we sorta wish there would be...sorta)

[Ilamarea]

Is that picture from some anime becouse I like it a lot, and the song is great too but I'am saying that just to be polite, thought it really is a very good song, I just said that becoue I only wanted to ask about the picture while enjoying the song and since it's about this song that's what I've got lost in my thought process and for some reason kept writing this nonsese :S

Allso are you Toho from TWC, or does he/she/it just like you very much? :S

[overwhelming12]

That picture is a must have!!!!

[konataakira]

I have the original version of Witches Ball~Magus :3

[Mesuekie]

FUk whoever put thumbs down

[Mesuekie]

I LUV THIS SONG!

[Iuthicito]

The thing I love about Witches' Ball is how playful yet classy it sounds. Love-coloured Master Spark is more energetic and showy, good duelling music fitting her insanely big spell cards later on, both suit Marisa in my opinion with a different tone, sort of like how both of Aya's themes suit her, Wind God Girl being her reporter personality while Youkai Mountain is her Tengu side working for her people.
