An anniversary remake of my old Intense Symphonic Metal Cover / Epic Metal Remix version of Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke (月まで届け、不死の煙 / Tsuki made todoke, fushi no kemuri), Extra Stage Boss - 藤原 妹紅 / Fujiwara no Mokou's theme from Touhou 8 / 東方永夜抄 ~ Imperishable Night OST.
The 2nd track for the 10-Year Anniversary album since my music TH-cam channel is now over 10 years old. It's gonna feature 10 most important tracks from the early years, re:made for this occasion and for fun.
Ah, Touhou.
Touhou never changes.
Except it does.
My first ever official attempt on covering 2hu was in early 2014, and it was far from being metal, haha. But I still really like that version, so, surprisingly, it's not unlisted (in case you wonder, it's here • [Remix] Reach For The ... ).
Most of you, who follow my Touhou journey, know the 2017 "typical" metal version. They are both quite different, so this time I kinda combined them together, to make this Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke 2023 ULTIMATE PRO ULTRA MAX Mk. III version. So ye.
Touhou is a huge part of this channel, so obviously it will land on the anniversary album.

I spoil you this year, my beloved average 2hu enjoyers
anyway
falkkone anniversary touhou cover after touhou inspired originals after touhou covers when
🕯🕯
this remaster HITS HARD
absolute banger
🔥🔥🔥🔥
These covers when jokes are getting out of hand
Happy Anniversary!
The piano in the beginning before the song actually begins will never get old
Piano all the way to the top 🔝🔝🔝
Just like Fujiwara-no-Mokou ?👀
This joke is fire
touhou + ukraine = based @@Get_Snuck_Upon_lols
that's my favorite part and sadly it only lasts for a bit
In my opinion, "Reach For The Moon" is the most iconic, most Touhou-ish track that ZUN ever made... Plus, there's all the symbolism that goes into the track, the title of the track, and Mokou herself: The track has repeating sections, evoking the cycle of life, death and rebirth. The title invokes the conclusion of The Tale of The Bamboo Cutter, wherein the Emperor of Japan sends out his soldiers to burn the elixir of immortality along with a love letter for Kaguya on top of the back-then actively volcanic Mt. Fuji, hence explaining the "immortal smoke" that could always be seen reaching for the Moon back then... Mokou herself has so much symbolism put into her, you can write an essay about it. Her design includes a hime haircut, implying noble origins, and pedestrian clothes, signifying her loss of nobility, as well as the ribbons in her hair being based on the tail feathers of the phoenix. Her family name, "Fujiwara", both includes another shout-out to Mt. Fuji, (which was said to have gotten its name from the events of The Tale of The Bamboo Cutter: "Fushi" means "immortality",) as well as one of the noble clans central to the story: The Fujiwara... "Mokou", 妹紅, in the meantime, literally means "Scarlet Little Sister", calling back to the Extra Stage Boss of an earlier game, but can also be read as "Paint Me Red", calling to mind the brutality surrounding Mokou as a whole, and is homophonous with 喪凰, "Mourning Female Phoenix." One kanji in her name is also shared in the Japanese name for the Great Burnet (吾亦紅 Waremokou), a plant that's used to treat insect bites (the first boss in Imperishable Night is Wriggle Nightbug, a firefly youkai), stop bleeding, heal wounds, cure bloody dysentery, stop nosebleeds, and treat burns.
It wasn't until Okina Matara that ZUN would put this amount of work into the symbolism behind a character again.
Jesus Christ I read all that, good comment.
Fr
the least dedicated touhou fan:
Wow, that was incredible, thank you so much for explaining the symbolism and Mokou's character design. I'd love to know more of more characters in this way
Thanks for this comment, I can only love this song even more with all this.
*Burn, blister, and fall... and from the ashes, I will rise!*
*Smoke, leaving its trail, thins nearly into nothing but it never truly dies.*
that's... damn perfect
We fly high, no lie
I saw "reach for the moon" and dropped what I was watching immediately. It's one of my faveorite touhou osts and and glad to see you cover it! The song is fire nice work🔥🔥🔥👌 Edit: I forgot that you have covered this track before. Man its been a while.
You could not have picked a better song to remaster to celebrate your 10th anniversary of making music, FalKKonE, Touhou songs go absolutely _perfectly_ with your style and this is one of the very best Touhou songs out there!!
That whole decade of music experience definitely shows, too, your music just never fails to be absolutely phenomenal!
And this cover is far from an exception, it somehow manages to be even more amazing than usual!! You did an absolutely *_incredible_* job on it!
This is a legendary cover FalKKonE has made. Sure FalKKonE has covered Immortal Smoke before. But what makes Immortal Smoke so legendary ESPECIALLY the fact its an anniversary track, is that it is the *FIRST* Touhou track FalKKonE has ever covered on the channel, WAY back 9 YEARS ago when FalKKonE was still a small creator. Even if it wasn't intense metal at the time. Immortal Smoke definitely deserves to be an anniversary track AND this absolutely BLAZING remix. I hope you won't ever stop making more covers for all the years to come, FalKKonE.
Mokou's theme! And somehow it's even more intense!
Happy anniversary Falkkone!
Time flies, faster and further than any smoke, immortal or not
Happy Anniversary FalKKone,this theme is perfect to celebrate,one of my fav Touhou music❤
every touhou fan is forever in debt to u bro, this shit is too good
mokou definitely lit the candles for this one, happy 10 year anniversary!!
1:07 that sound just scratched my brain GOOD
Congratulations on the anniversary and the release of the new Reach for the Moon cover. This is kind of nostalgic as I first discovered your channel thanks to the former Reach for the Moon cover many years ago. Congratulations for everything that came and everything that will come in the future :D
So this is the song that all the touhou covers began with. Happy 10th anniversary. Discovered your channel 4 years ago and I've been listening to all your music ever since
Congrats on one whole-ass decade of absolute BANGER covers!
I’ve wanted you to do another remix of this song for ages and was just thinking about it the other day, and finally my dream came true!
2hu shall rule forever !
Happy Aniversarry bro!
I love to read those bits of Lore of Falk's Channel haha, and yes, Touhou never changes, except it does....
Sakuya best girl ;)
we getting our father back with this one 🔥🔥🔥
yeah this arrangement is *fire*
LET'S GO!!! THE IMMORTAL PHOENIX ALWAYS RETURNS!
And just when I am stuck fighting her in IN. What can I say you always have the perfect timing XD
Amazing job, you've somehow improved on the original remix, whilst I'm sure I'll still prefer your original for the nostalga I think this is a very worthy successor.
One of my favorite songs and you made it sound absolutely beautiful, happy 10 years!

We about to start seeing some touhou remakes? I liked most of the originals already but im always down for more!
My beloved Mokou
Maybe once, I had a dream
Although I can't remember when
Now, only a dream
I'm rising every morning just to see it all again
Clinging onto the cold edge
With overused and broken hands
Why can't I let go?
That's just the sort of freedom I would never understand
So, life without death
It isn't much worth calling "Life"
But, by the sharp pain
Still searing through my body, I can feel that I'm alive
Really sick of trying
I can't go on without dying
In a hell that's never over
There won't be a key to finding
When there's no way out this nightmare
You can't tell me to remember
Pass the trial, face the challenge
Through the endless stream of carnage
Could I quench that burning feeling?
Hope is dead, but never fading
In a thousand years of darkness
No light pierces through the curtains
Falling through and never sleeping
For my own mistakes I'm weeping
You can't hope to bear this weight
The price that right now I am paying
Now this maze has two ways through
One they'd call "Despair"
To find what was lost
Even knowing that one day
All will be lost again
This maze has two ways through
One they might call "Hope"
To lose what was found
Ever knowing that some day
All will be found again...
Reach for the pale moon
A distance only I could reach
Day, followed by night
That moon is like a barrier, impossible to breach
Flames lighting my way
Into a never-ending night
Night, followed by day
This sun will overtake again its stolen ring of light
Because they're
All that I have left
I'm going to let these feelings burn
Once those have been quenched, then
Some way or another, I'll be ready to return
Burn, blister and fall
And from the ashes I will rise
Smoke, leaving its trail
Thins nearly into nothing, but it never truly dies
Watch as the world grows
But will I ever grow along?
Each failure shows me
Yet another way, another reason to be strong
What more can I lose?
I made a reckless sacrifice
Now, carry this through
There's something that I'll have to do, no matter what the price
Once, I had a dream
Although I can't remember when
Now, only a dream
I fell asleep this evening just to see it all again...
The fact you did this song warms my heart
This was the first song i heard when i started getting into touhou
Ahh Immortal smoke, as beautiful as ever and now even more intense love it
Incredible, one of my favourit 2hu songs remastered again !!! what a banger !!!
Look on the candle. *Mokou is on that candle!*
Happy anniversary! Love your work. Keep it up!🥳👍
I have been waiting for this moment my entire life
A remake huh, it’s been a long time since the first remix. I actually discovered touhou through your channel so it brings back memories
HAPPY 10 YEARS
Happy 10th Anniversary FalKKonE
Good choice for an anniversary song, as always, you deliver strongly.

Happy Anniversary FalKKonE!!
Congrats for your 10 years making awesome music, thank you very much!🎉❤
Happy 10th anniversary! Thanks for the 2hu covers! Is it possible to get a fate of 60 years cover as well?
Let the smoke of these birthday candles reach high. But let my hair reach higher as I headbang to the remix.
HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY! I’m so glad to say that I’ve been here for 7 years!
Happy anniversary and awesome remix
Happy anniversary!! Cheers to the next 10 years!
This is fire (pun intended)
Here's to you and to one the most badass characters in Touhou (my personal favorite, too)! Happy anniversary!
Fun fact: In touhou lore it's implied that Mokou and Yuyuko are distant relatives.
(She's Yuyuko distant great aunt).
