After listening to Bad Apple!! I went on to listening to Night of Nights, Sakuya was then the first character I was able to recognize from Bad Apple!! afterwards, and when I got curious as to what her lore was, I understood the Bad Apple!! video a lot better she's still my favorite character in the series
I discovered night of nights through a roblox game, then I went to listen to it for myself. Then through the same game I heard bad apple and decided to look it up, I only recognized Sakuya. She became one of my favorite characters just because I liked her themes
My first exposure to Touhou. I saw the maid wielding knives, and I thought "okay, is she an evil maid?" I knew nothing about Touhou Project, so I thought nothing of it. I checked out gameplay of Touhou 9 where the remix was based on and I saw (in my eyes) a generic anime game. Over time, I would become more and more aware of Touhou Project. Mostly through memes (thanks Lost Pause :D). A few years back, I decided to look into what Touhou was. I was overwhelmed. So much lore and characters, I thought I HAD to know everything to understand what was going on. Long story short, I checked out the games, and I loved them. But what caused me to investigate (heh) Touhou in the first place? One day, when I was searching for "offbrand" on my phone, I had the urge to search "maid offbrand" into the search bar. Eventually, I found her. Sakuya Izayoi. She was the sole reason I got into Touhou in the first place. Heck, she molded me into the person I am today. Without her, I would have been a VERY different person. Sakuya is a very important person to me (especially considering I'm slightly autistic) and I'm glad I listened to Night of Nights.
Sakuya was my first introduction to touhou too. I found her through the Night of Nights video, and when I saw her portrait, I thought: "Wow, She looks ready to elegantly murder someone." It was love at first sight
I have a question a question which lost pause video how old is the video ive scrolled to literally the first video thinking the video you were referring to was 12 years ago
Simliar for me, I found out about Touhou through a Eurobeat mixon youtube, the thumbnail was Sakuya in lingerie bent over the hood of a car. Not something you forget.
Damn I used to watch lost pause Yeah I also used to think touhou was an anime even though I never had many thoughts on the medium as I was still very young. I remember some touhou videos from when I was younger, mostly niconico reposts put on youtube. Really I found touhou about a year after undertale, from the jzboy animations and people comparing some undertale gameplay to touhou, back in I'd say 2017 I decided to give it a look into. I only got a computer back in 2018 and only learnt there were games that weren't flash games in 2019 lmao. I remember watching pikasprey and looking to his other channel I watched some random series, so I'm not going to elaborate much but I started watching his touhout playthroughs and thought "why don't I try this myself" so I found out moriya shrine existed and ended up getting touhou 6-8, this was my peak in gameplay at least apparently because I got all the way to remilia with one hand on normal because i was recording to show somebody what touhou was. In 2020 I'd fallen off of the touhou train a little. but fast forward to now and I'm probably at my peak of touhou fan-content and actual information about the franchise. I'm just getting back into it so I'm getting some fanon and Canon mixed up but other than that I'm having fun interacting with members of this community. (Also touhou has so much přøñ jesus christ I'm supplied for years)
I also found Touhou through Sakuya and Night of Nights. Well, a remix of Night of Nights (Thanks Undertale). Afterwards I went to the OG and the rest was history
Im not a fan of that remix, however i always liked Sakuya's th6 theme a lot, even if she isn't my fav character, now i know why this remix is more popular than sakuya's original themes
First time I've heard Night of Nights was when I've played Luna Nights, which was also my first Touhou game, safe to say it's one of my favorite tracks.
I’m honestly surprised that the Rampaging Sakuya video was not mentioned. I had never heard of Touhou at the time the video released, but based on what I heard I thought it was at least somewhat influential
Imagine being one of the most iconic character on the internet, yet the iconic songs are both from your children... If you know you'll know what i'm talking about
1:09 I like lunar clock a lot. I think the drums in the song represents a .50 desert eagle firing point blank at you, because that is what you would rather have to face other than Sakuya's Killing Doll. Another interpretation would that the drums is the sound you make when you slam your face on the keyboard after using the bomb you needed for Remilla on Sakuya. It's very deep.
My first real exposure to Touhou project was the fangame focusing mainly around Sakuya and her time abilities called Touhou Luna Nights. The game is a very fun metroidvania platformer style one, and it has some very faithfully reproduced remixes of a lot of music from Touhou 6 EoSD and a few others from later games (Marisa and Nitori's themes, for example). SPOILERS! Night of Nights plays in the last boss fight against Flandre in the last phase of the boss fight, and it makes YOU feel like the boss, haha!
....oh I feel kind of dumb not realizing the Luna Dial part of it lol. Missed opportunity to put Luna Dial in the coverswap. Interesting breakdown of the different segments of Night of Nights, it makes a lot of sense now.
I didn’t know it was as relevant as it is, whenever I show people night of nights or flowering night usually they tell that that it sounds like something they’ve heard before, my age group is from the late late 2000’s like 2008 or 2007 so I guess it is something that they may have heard when they were really young
@@HyperVanilo Yeah but got popular arround 2016 because of sans and even non-undertale players knos about it XD Exactly like night of nights. But idk when NoN got popular.
the "other" song everybody at least heard somewhere before. my first interaction with toho was liz triangles song 幻想郷サーガ from the album GRAY: th-cam.com/video/ckyv-dgRtPg/w-d-xo.html I loved the CD and didnt even know what toho is. So this song made me go and play the games in order and I became a fan. I wish there was a youtube channel focusing on touhou doujin artists and talking and discussing about noteable circles and releases to the western audience. :weary:
You forgot that the song did get an iconic music video like Bad Apple with "The SDM! (Rampaging Sakuya)" around 2009-2010 with several claims that it was one of the first 720p videos on TH-cam (though I can't verify that, nor know if it was on Nico Nico Douga first): th-cam.com/video/DLAQm2OcC-4/w-d-xo.html
Whether you like it or not, if you have been remotey on the internet for the last few years, you have DEFINITELY heard Nights of Nights before.
"Night of Nights? Isn't that the remix of Everything Will Freeze?" or vice versa
"Why does this sound like Night of Nights/Everything Will Freeze?"
Reather you know it or not
Im pretty sure i havent and im a 26 year old boomer.
I barely discovered bad apple like 3 months ago and now im watching this video.
Everything will freeze is the remix.
No, I haven't.
I met Night of Nights because of a flash animation were Sakuya runs after Meiling, and this was one of my first interactions with Touhou.
Dang it, I seen that video the other week. Classic TH-cam, recommending me videos 12 years later.
yep, angry maids running down hallways alll the way back in like 2010 or something
FOUND IT!! th-cam.com/video/DLAQm2OcC-4/w-d-xo.html
i saw it through an edited version with undertsle characters
Same for me
Wow... I can't believe I never made the connection between the intro of Night of Nights and Luna Dial
Yeah it’s something where I was listening to Luna Dial randomly one day and was like: “…Hey wait a second.”
After listening to Bad Apple!! I went on to listening to Night of Nights, Sakuya was then the first character I was able to recognize from Bad Apple!! afterwards, and when I got curious as to what her lore was, I understood the Bad Apple!! video a lot better
she's still my favorite character in the series

i've started using night of nights as background music for games i'm above average in to boost my confidence due to how good the song is
I use it to play Mario Kart lol
night of nights on mute city 200cc > regular gameplay

1:00 well sakuya, oxygen is the 8th element of 118 different atoms
Small correction
She has the power of "Chrotokenises"
The power to ouright control time not just stop it
*Chronokinesis
Because of her ability she is also able to manipulate space
and also compress time to make past, present and future exist the same time
Her ability is timey wimey spacey bullshit
I thought she has churrokenisis, because she can cook churros. Because she's a maid.
Im not a fan of that remix, however i always liked Sakuya's th6 theme a lot, even if she isn't my fav character, now i know why this remix is more popular than sakuya's original themes
Why not? Is it perhaps, *bias?*
First time I've heard Night of Nights was when I've played Luna Nights, which was also my first Touhou game, safe to say it's one of my favorite tracks.
Same lol
0:57 that’s nerfing her power IMMENSELY! She can manipulate time… and I’d be here until tomorrow if I said everything she can do
Spellcare rule: And i took that personally
Every character's ability that sounded powerful is getting immensely nerfed because of Spell Card rules
I’m honestly surprised that the Rampaging Sakuya video was not mentioned. I had never heard of Touhou at the time the video released, but based on what I heard I thought it was at least somewhat influential

The main reason I love touhou is because of it's importance to internet culture
One thing I wonder about her time stop ability I wonder if it's learned or if she was born with it.
She manipulates time, not just stopping it
In some of the games she is rather young so it could be a possibility
I’m not a Touhou fan but I really like a lot of songs produced by the fandom, including this one
I love this song so much!
I didn’t know it was as relevant as it is, whenever I show people night of nights or flowering night usually they tell that that it sounds like something they’ve heard before, my age group is from the late late 2000’s like 2008 or 2007 so I guess it is something that they may have heard when they were really young
I'm happy I finally found this song
Sakuya is my favorite Touhou character and when I first heard Night of Nights, this song made me totally fall in love with itself
Sakuya used to be my favouite character, I even indirectly based my first handle here on TH-cam on her.
i'm 22 and this song accompanied me for half of my life
Arcaea is gettin touhou songs recently. Lets hope nights of nights get charted into the game
Fun fact: The guy who made this remix also played Among Us with ZUN
Also, I really don't like it when people call themes 'songs'.
@@f.u.m.o.5669 yeah lol
Today is the 15th anniversary of this song???
Not quite; that’s May 20th. I say “15th anniversary” in the same way video game companies celebrate the “20th anniversary” of a series all year lol
The better description is just "The megalovania from touhou". That is the way I always describe it to my non-touhou enjoyers friends XD
But Megalovania appeared in 2008 Earthbound Halloween rom hack

awesome :)
