It's 2020 and I still have yet to find a touhou fan in real life

I know that Zun originally just created Touhou just as a vehicle for his music, but seriously, how can one man put out so many great tracks? Think about the mountain of half-finished stuff that he has lying around that none of us will ever hear... >_>

11 years later and this shit still bops

ZUN's note on this song is probably the most ambiguous for me. "Smooth, huh? (haha) This song brings out a feeling of aloofness. I dont express emotions through songs. I make songs with emotions. And really, the game makes the songs... "

This song suits her perfectly. It sounds royal and majestic at some parts, as she's supposed to be, but it still manages to show how unstable and not totally sane she can be.

Imperishable Night brought me here

I can't hear this song without constantly shouting "Eirin Eirin"

🎉 20TH ANNIVERSARY FOR IMPERISHABLE NIGHT 🎉

16 years later, who still here?

This masterpiece sounds like some boss fight music ngl, and it just makes it even better

In fanon, Eirin's assisstance is always called upon. Yet in Touhou 8, it's Kaguya who helps Eirin. I guess people should be saying "HELP ME, KAGUYAAAAA!"

Imperishable Night was one of the best Touhou games, fight me about it.

It's 2020 now and i'm still loving every second of Touhou music.

It's really funny, my early memories of discovering Touhou are blurred, but I can vaguely remembering stumbling upon this video and really liking it, and I'm pretty sure KZfaq's recommendation system just threw Touhou at me me until I got hooked.

The real definition of old but gold. I still haven't played any of the games but im interested, can someone teach me how to download touhou games?

upon kaguyas arrival: "ah, kaguya. musnt be that hard, maybe at least as hard as eire-" middle of battle: *"OH GOD OH FUCK EVERYTHING IS BULLETS-"* last spell: *DISTANT SCREAMING*

EIRIN! EIRIN! TASUKETE EIRIN!

TODAY'S RESULTS: KAGUYA'S VICTORY

when you realize kaguya is not a lunatic, nor a princess.. well, atleast not anymore.

Hi to everyone. Thanks for listening my theme~

Hmm, I love the very regal feel you get from the trumpet in this song. Very fitting for the princess of the moon. Also, speaking of which, I love the contrast between this and Immortal Smoke; even during its faster parts, Lunatic Princess has some very distinctive notes, while Reach for the Moon's notes run together, blending together beautifully. This really emphasizes the rivalry of the phoenix of the Fujiwara and the Tsuki-hime.

13 years later I discovered this song and ultimately touhou after searching for it's source, glad I stumbled upon this masterpiece

I'm a huge osu! And TouHou fan. This song never fails to send shivers down my spine at times. And playing this on osu! Is always a rush. (I also absolutely love the remix that Camellia did with Nanahira. Seashore on the Moon)

I don't get why so many people hate Kaguya.... I like both Mokou, Keine, AND Kaguya.... I mean, how do you hate Kaguya after reading Inaba of the moon and Inaba of the Earth? (How do you hate ANY of the characters in Touhou?)

Over 12 years after hearing this for the first time, have found only two games that have OSTs as beautiful, undertale (tbh only battle against a true hero and hopes and dreams) and celeste. Out of hundreds if not close to a thousand.

so many bangers from imperishable night

Guess which Touhou fan is supposed to be doing her homework XD

It's been 2024 and still recommended

Kaguya is One Hell of a Princess! Change my Mind.

crazy how this song stood the test of time even 12 years later

I'm always torn between this and Border of Life for my favourite Touhou track.

RIP Touhou comments on these videos ;-;

Been here before Lunatic Doom Machine was a thing.

Oh boi, it's that time of year again

Spoiler: Kaguya was raised from a bamboo cutter

It's that time of year again. Greetings from the TF2 community!

after watching the tale of princess kaguya I feel a lot of sympathy for her...

*RESPECT THE PRINCESS!!!!!*

Hourai Elixir... Alice's Hourai dolls... omg now I know why Hourai dolls are so powerful.

I wonder, if Kaguya just used her power more seriously, would she be able to be one of the most powerful characters in the whole cast of Touhou, ability-wise? Wild speculations aside, her power as stated in the game/the wiki seems abit like a more powerful version of Sakuya's power. If I understand it correctly, that is. "Manipulation of Eternity and the Instantaneous."

11 years later and this theme still rocks

I really love this song it... I can’t even pinpoint why, it just sounds amazing as a whole.

Over 15 years later and i still find touhou music amazing to hear

*sigh* I always get a little fed up reading Mokou v Kaguya arguments they always try to paint the situation in black and white. Shades of grey people seriously it is not black and white like the fandom likes to make it. Kaguya was involved with at worst directly sending 1 person to his death (Only one of the 5 princes that took her requests actually died in the original tale according to wikipedia anyways, version of the tale I read no one died) and indirectly killed the lunar emmissaries. One of the princes turned back and 3 of them tried to fake it. Given how most sources I've found said the endeavor SHAMED Mokou's father not KILLED him I'm going to assume he was one of the fakers. And while polygamy was probably still okay in those times it doesn't change the fact he only pursued Kaguya as a trophy wife even though she was physically probably a similar age to his own daughter, you'll have to forgive me if I don't care for Lord Fujiwara. Kaguya is at worst kinda selfish and irresponsible. I list numerous things the other characters in the series have done that are far far worse than Kaguya. Very quickly Remilia and several other characters like Rumia explicitly eat people, Yukari regularly kidnaps a supply of people to be eaten [usually unwanted people like homeless or runaways but still] and started a war with the moon, Kanako fought a holy war with Suwako and Suwako herself has probably cursed people with numerous plagues, Tenshi started an earthquake in gensokyo because she was BORED, Okuu wanted to turn Gensokyo into a new hell (though I would argue Okuu is more stupid than evil), and Miko manipulated her populace and instigated holy wars while secretly trying to make herself immortal. Byakuren is probably the only objectively good character I can think of. As for Mokou she is mostly reckless and irresponsible. She stole the Hourai elixer and drank it (even killed a man to get it although she does regret it) for petty revenge without thinking of the consequences and spent 300 years an insane shambling zombie burning everything in her path. *edit* In regards to her father I have no idea which of the 5 items he was resonsible for getting but based on the fact he was greatly shamed I'm assuming it was the jeweled branch (in the tale, the prince that was sent to retrieve that instead had 4 servants labor for 3 years fabricating the thing and was publicly called out on it when Kaguya insisted on hearing out his servants) TL;DR: They're both their own shades of grey. You can argue Kaguya is darker but she isn't black and Mokou isn't white despite what the fandom tries to say.

I can’t believe its been 14 years since I heard this song for first time ❤️

Interesting thing i've noticed: Kaguya, Eirin and Mokou's theme all have choruses starting with the same 3 notes, just in different keys

It's been 15 years yet i still have not met any touhou fan in real life.

this song goes hard!

I wish I grew my hair long so I could look like Kaguya...

It's 2023 and I still have yet to find a Touhou fan in real Life

HELP ME EIRINNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to University and I still have yet to find Touhou fan in real life.

One of my all time favorites. I wonder why ZUN named this 'Lunatic Princess', Kaguya seems quite stable even after living for so long. Maybe she already got bored of being mad.

it has been over 10 years since this first came out. really makes you think

Ah...my favorite character from the game, so pretty and dark. and with an awesome music.

This video was randomly recommended for me by youtube. so out of the horrible recommendations. thanks youtube for recommending this video, which introduced me to touhou.

This song is amazing, my guy friend is learning it on the piano, he'll sound amazing :D

Actual fans: something actually related tf2 fans: JULY FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Masterpiece

Wish I was born during this Golden age era. Found this out cause of Zeta Gonta

99.5% of the comments are about LDM 0.5% of the comments are about the actual song

Seriously, best track from Imperishable Night ever

She's actually Pc-98 Reimu

To be honest, I am really glad that I found these TouHou music tracks from another song, which I found by clicking on a suggested game song. Quite happy ;)

*sees a Kaguya Houraisan account in KZfaq* *begins to checking Mokou's vids to check for dislike claims*

Who's still enjoying this awesome work?

This was in my reccomended and i was like "Love it war, sure" I was wrong but damn this is good

Touhou music is just Amazing

So This Is The Music You Hear When You Go To Heaven.

when the kaguya is lunatic 😳

July FEEEEEEEEEEEST! Great songs. Both this one and July FEEEEEEEEEEEST

She's just gonna hit you with danmaku so you better get running.

The music is older than me and still great after 15 years

Tis time i indulge myself into touhou theme songs 😂😂

Coming back after 10 years :’) feeling nostalgic

And yet another year has passed, and yet again I find myself celebrating the Canadian Independence Day to the bopping of this song. While I do not condone the spamming of July First, I am somewhat grateful to Philip OnBread for introducing me to this masterpiece.

i remember this song, one day of 2015 i heard it song for first time, that time was M A G I C

when the zunpets hit 👌

This is the oldest video on my music playlist.. I was.. alive when it came out, but I did not even know what a computer was probably

man this song just sounds incredibly good🤷 I just love the melody

ok hear me out..................... is this one of the best tohou themes of all time?????

Ahh, the mysterious yet elaborative theme of a girl wanting to stay on gensokyo but protect her home. Nothing beats this theme for how amazing it is.

Best Touhou song, Kaguya for Empress #KaguyaForEmpress2016

Man, Touhou has such beautiful themes that have been made from it. The instrument highs and the piano are just so flawless and amazing! I love every single one I hear. I can't be the only one!

Remember when Geometry Dash did not come out and this comment section had only probably just Kaguya? Good times, Good times.

14 years, and this is still be my top music playlist

The best records regardless from a man running down the neighbourhood with a hive of bees

I practice myself not to blink just because of this stage

I can't believe I complete this one by accident.

Alright. FINE. I will put an actual comment Okay....."Festive Medic" aside. This is how I truly feel: " The music is GREAT. The way it starts out slow and mellifluous gives a sense of gracefulness and beauty....and the most skillful part is how it MAINTAINS this sense of elegance even during the fast pace notes. Integrating the two seemingly different tempo gives off a feeling of.....some Ominousity and Danger HIDDEN within innocent beauty.....truly a combination of both GRACE and MACABRE......GOOD and EVIL" .....oh, and that girl in the picture looks pretty cute. Happy? :)

Ohohoho, so sweet~

Don't forget, you're hime forever.

//listens to this 3 years before knowing tf2 eye'm the strongest

Ngl best theme of Touhou

This video is months older than me.

I remember when this video was uploaded only 4 years ago. I was looking for tohou tracks to use on Flipnote animations lol good times

Moon Princess Neetguya-Sama.

EIRIN, ERIN (EIRIN, ERIN) EIRIN, EIRIN!!!!!! TASKUETE EIRINN

I was introduced to all this on 9/9/09 because cirno's perfect math class was on the top videos, 5 years later, here I am! Woo!

I somehow feel that Lunatic Princess is underrated in terms of Final Boss themes. Same thing with Missing Power and True Administrator.
