I've listened to this so many times. It might be one of my all time favorite songs ever. Gets me so AMPED. I barely have a surface level knowledge of Touhou, but this transcends any need to know anything. Thanks for the jam!
Damn, thank you for sharing dude! You should definitely check out some more Touhou music if you haven't, the games have amazing soundtracks and there are lots of other rockin' remixes out there!
Dang, that's crazy yo! Legit can't believe it's almost been 10 years since I made this haha, time flies way too fast. Glad you still enjoy it after all this time, thank you!
The song title refers to a specific breed of cherry (which has also been translated as "winter cherry," but the soul part still makes no sense. That's okay, a lot of Touhou song titles make no sense even in the original Japanese, and that's saying something; the Japanese like to string kanji together in ways Westerners (outside of maybe Germany) would never, like "blood art technique."
I always assumed "ground" was talking about a cherry that was ground up (past tense of grind) into a paste, and if you used a very red cherry (like a maraschino) then you'd get a very red color indeed. The soul part is probably referring to either Remilia or Rumia. Remilia because she's a vampire, Rumia because she's a cannibal.

I heard a bit of "Beloved Tomboyish Girl" in there. Rumia will probably be livid at the prospect of a Fairy-type invading a Dark-type's theme.
+RaceBandit Hey, she can't get mad at me, it's their fault for using similar motifs! Thanks for listening, haha.

She'd probably be more upset at Cirno if anything. I don't know what _your_ typing would be, but AFAIK Cirno's confirmed Ice/Fairy.
That, or happy that a fellow member of Team Nineball has her back. :p

Still one of my favorite remixes
Sick
Whoop, snuck a little Beloved Tomboyish Girl in there! Fantastic!
+Clacker Volley For some reason I never saw your comment, so 9 months later, thank you!!
Awesome. I even used this in my compilation.
Thanks, and nice compilation!
+Wally Chantek Oh, you actually watched it? Thank you.
Tbh it'd be a brutally hard Gradius 2 stage. Especially if there's a Darkness gimmick to it
banger
Sounds like megaman xtream for the gameboy color. man i can't stop listening to this.
Tecmo super bowling!
Awsome!!! Rumia+Cirno
Thank you!

Wow! The origin was one of my least favorite Touhou themes, but you made it rock!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

If you make other Touhou remixes, I doubt you'll disappoint!
The download link is broken, any chance of a new one? Really interested to see the FTM for this one!
Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out!
Wouldn't a ground cherry be kind of dirty? And isn't something brown when it's dirty?
Shhh... you're thinking too much about it!

Dark Woman theme

If anyone dislikes this, they will be devoured by Pac-Rumia. XD
sounds like it should have been in megaman 10 or tecmo super bowl
