The PC-98 has some pretty awesome music gems. More Touhou fans should at least appreciate the music.
This was the first old touhou theme I ever heard. I've been hooked on these songs since. Though this one's my favorite, I also love Eastern Wind, Eternal Shrine Maiden, Now Until the moment you Die, and Eternal Paradise just to name a few. I think the old song titles were better too. They all felt more emotion driven.
FunniestofFunny Mostly: This, ALice in wonderland, Strawberry Crisis, Vanishing Dream, Spiritual heaven, infinity being, complete darkness, sleeping terror, bad apple.
***** We WERE talking about the subject of the PC-98 music until you brought that unnecessary piece of shit here.
Robo lopez WE were talking? You kinda just showed up. Also, I lot of my friends got into touhou from that song. So I can't say it's the worst thing to ever come from the franchise.
Oh, Cazisto Vanquist, if you're reading this, thank you for that list of the best PC-98 songs. I had no idea what other fantastic songs came from the era.
FunniestofFunny You based your comment on the word that I said. Ridiculous who are you trying to defend? Or your just trying to tell me that i'm no better?
It took me so long realise that the left one is PC98 Yuuka and the right one Windows Yuuka.
In my opinion, Yuuka's PC-98 themes are better than her Windows one.
Dunno, all her themes are pleasant to the ears.
Sleeping Terror however makes you fear her.
pc-98 is better in general
although SA probably has the most best themes in windows
@@CannedPsycho- Yes, but best final boss song is Emotional Skyscrapper, then Pure Furies IMO (ppl still votes for Septtete of Dead Princess).
Faint Dream easily gets 1st place as Final Boss (PC-98).
While yes, one of Akyu's databook things said 'She doesn't attack unless provoked', remember:
- That's Windows Yuuka, not PC-98
- Akyu is unreliable
- Even in PoFV she has bullying tendencies, like threatening pretty much everyone she fights. She also has disproportionate 'threats' in the PC-98 era, like 'Mist of atoms' and 'Gensocide is just a game'.
Is she *as* bad as people make out? No, probobly not.
Is she a harmless, sane, non-violent individual? Certainly not.
Raikaria1 I think that in pc-98, Reimu and Marisa both interrupted her sleep.
@@chickennuggets1990 No sane youkai would invade Makai just because they were bored. Don't skip dialogue, mate.
But in lls reimu and marisa goes to her mantion and interrupts her... Dream? So that's why she got mad and attack them (and she got a point on that)
Congrats to the 0.00000000001% of you who found the original original original original
Thanks. Do you realize that the remix of the remix of the remix of this theme have 130 times more views just on youtube.
Yuuka: *Yawn* Where you really fighthing? It barely woke me up... Are you ready? *Reimu left the game*
AoCF would be the perfect time to bring Yuuka back because of the name alone

YUUKA KAZAMI
Yuuka is a caretaker of flowers of all seasons, likened to a force of nature holding tremendous power. She is presumed to be very old.
She loves seasonal flowers, so throughout the year she moves to the respective places where the flowers grow: spring flowers for spring, summer flowers for summer, autumn flowers for autumn and sometimes winter flowers for winter.
Yuuka is a troublesome and playful youkai. She holds strength in high regard and likes to look down on and toy with those weaker than her. However, she also tends to visit the Human Village and comes off as fairly polite, in addition to often appearing at the Hakurei Shrine on peaceful terms. (from TouhouWiki)
ZUN's comment about the track:
"The last boss theme. It has a very final feel to it.
I think it came out pretty cool somehow~
Nobody really knows if Yuuka herself is cool.
Personally, I think I rather like her."
I find it sad that Bad Apple has more views than the final boss theme, especially since this theme is just so much better. Bad Apple is just typical PC-98 ZUN, while this theme is actually different from most other things he's done.
juan barahoma I know, but still though...
Why was that song chosen above so many better ones?
At least it's still ZUN's work. Look at deadman plagiarizing a bossa nova cover of Yuuka's theme. The cover even got taken down in favor of deadman's "remix", a little insulting to the Touhou community, right?
That picture makes her look so adorable. No matter if it gets me killed, i gotta hug her.
@@sanstheskeleton679
All that means is that she probably gives really nice hugs.
Exactly what I feel when fanon Flandre appears.
Yuuka is just another bored and powerful youkai that finds great fun in teasing others, like making others annoyed/uneasy or simply manipulating others for fun, like described by ZUN (Youkai moe). She doesn't really attack anyone unless they're either close to her power level or attacks her first.
The reason for fanon Yuuka being sadistic is probably because of the quote from MS "Genocide is just another game" which gave that sort of impression.
I remember it was 2am, and I battled her and won this game was my first 1cc on touhou and I still proudly say it lol (and I almost burnt my eyes on the process)
You know, the more I listen to these older themes, the more I realize that ZUN recycled a lot of them. This particular one _definitely_ went into _Crystallized Silver_. You can hear some _Reincarnation_ in _Septette for the Dead Princess_ (which in turn was used in _Capital City of Flowers in the Sky_ and _The Gensokyo the Gods Loved_). And, of course, _Maiden's~Capriccio_ and _Love-Colored Magic_ led to _Maiden's Capriccio~Dream Battle_ and _Love-Colored Master Spark_, respectively.
Kinda cool, ain't it?
Never paid much attention to it. The songs are too freaking awesome for me to notice. I swear, ZUN's best composing days were the days of the PC- 98.
Kaiser Dragon And my favorite: Magic Mirror, the melodies in that song are also in Legend of KAGE, Complete Darkness, Maiden's Capriccio, Magic Square, Plastic Mind and Nostalgic Blood from the East .
I understand that she's an old fella who isn't really interested in action anymore, but still, I'd love to see her having an important role in a manga instead of making simple background cameos. And no, I'm not even asking for her to reappear in a new game anymore, because we all know how unlikely it is for that to happen...
@@creep2539 bruh literally almost all incidents has something to do with flower though...
Entire Arc of her adopting all of the Faries out of boredom, Sakuya facing her off because the Fairy Maids, the Faries are just too scared to run away.
Okay so, I really love Sleeping Terror, and her theme from PoFV, but I feel like I love this the most. (as well as the unused version) All of Yuuka's themes (including the stage themes, if you count those) are the best.
You can only beat Yuuka in LLS easily because she is likely teasing you. _Let that sink in._
HatsODoom It seems like all the older-looking characters just tease you endlessly.
darkbeetlebot
Careful there fella, you're treading into dangerous territory.
HatsODoom Dangerous is my sub-name! Nothing is too bad for the chosen undead! *dark souls reference*
Doesn't mean Yuka isn't a very easy boss. She's a Stage 3 boss with too many attacks.
I'm not kidding. When I first heard Yuka appeared in two stages. I thought Stages 3 and 5.
Congratulations You find music original ORIGINAL ORIGINARU MUSIC
Probably one of the best PC-98 Touhou tracks.
Yuuka please stop licking the Sunflower.
I'm pretty sure that's her chin, the petals just made it look like a tongue.
1:50 is just great
Ah..the long fabulous green-haired Yuuka
banger
I had it stuck in my head for months without being able to tell which theme it was. Glad i re-listened to some old high quality video game rips and found it. Thanks, SiIva.
Every time it gets to the climax of the song, I suddenly feel awesome.
Thank you for uploading this.
I FUCKING LOVE YOUR THEME YUUKA!
I love this song so much and I love Yuuka, I love EVERYTHING!
Damn, how does any banger music I stumble upon eventually lead to either (mostly) Touhou or Toby Fox???
I really prefer Inanimate Dream over Sleeping Terror.
I dont like both the actual full themes,
*BUT:*
I think both their beginning-buildups are easily in the top5 for all of touhou
This song gives me goosebumps holy shit😭😭😭
This isn’t some walk through a sunflower field. *It's a warzone through a sunflower field.*
Took me a while to realize the picture has two Yuukas because the left is the PC-98 one and the right is the Windows one
Hasn't anyone tried merging the two Inanimate dreams together like Voyage 1969 and Voyage 1970?
i know this comment is 6 years old but here you go th-cam.com/video/61pndawdyik/w-d-xo.html
pants yuuka best yuuka
The Necrofantasia of PC-98
ikr xD? I can't help but like it despite it being a little grating, haha
Faint dream>sleeping terror>gensokyo,past and present>tiny little adiantum>omae wa mou
Yes this is it. You have arrived at the end my friend. Peace be with you.
In my opinion, the best PC-98 battle theme, easly. Also the reason why I want to see Yuuka more often.
So no all of the PC-98 tracks sound great in my opinion, but tracks like this are so underated .A.
0:17 is my favorite part.
Sometimes i feel like pc-98 can't sound powerful, then i think about this song
This theme of Yuuka's starts off intensely, as if she encountered the shrine maiden and the magician again, _except_ she's *fully* prepared and *even more* powerful than before, and she's ready to fight the duo _for real_ this time.
Best yuuka theme hands down
That's right! It's so adorable! Yuuka's got to get dressed and get her beautiful long hair done! Now, she's ready!
Can't avoid thinking of Yuuka with crazy wide open eyes when the main melody comes and at the second half two. Enjoying the fight and lusting for more and more. "Do you still think this is a dream, dear!?" Even though it might actually contradict her personality, this theme fits a crazy person so much~
you go girl, you're a loony flower lady and still stage 5 boss, final boss, main character and playable
Yuuks is just Epic
My favorite Touhou character is Yuuka since her name is one letter off from my name, at least in English pronunciation. In Japanese, it's spelled differently using different kanji.
I feel like Yuuka's craziness is a side-effect of early installment weirdness. In folk lore, youkai are not nearly as cutesy or cheerful as many of them appear in Touhou (even the more "malicious" ones such as Nue). They were unhinged, torturous nightmares. So I would imagine that for his first final youkai boss, ZUN wanted to stay true to the folklore.
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE TOUHOU FINAL BOSS THEMES!!!
I think this song's my favorite PC-98 song. It's an amazing boss theme, and definitely up there for final bosses of Touhou in general for me.
I really wish I could hear this song for the first time again
*my opinion on the original:*
woooooowwwww, now THIS is the CRAZIEST theme in the game so far! I kind of like the sinister BEOWW. BOW BOW. BOW. Sega Genesis-like sound in the beginning, it’s so funny! However, 0:18 is when the melody hits HARD. So emotional, man. It sounds like the world is ending and only you can save it. Then at 0:42… Jeez. Now that’s just insanity in MUSICAL FORM right there! It's harsh-sounding, but still
It will probably sound less gritty and more clean in Akyuu’s untouched score which I prefer more, but this is still a Great, EVIL-sounding theme for sure!!!
*my opinion on this enhancement:*
it's better, i guess :)
She should've been the extra boss of HSiFS, while Okina should've had her own extra-extra stage like Yukari
I'm reading act 3 scene 7 of king lear rn and this song is adding to how dramatic it is
Fun headcanon time:
Despite being one of the most powerful youkai, Yuuka has a horribly crippling fear and weakness to fire due to her nature-based abilities. Like, to the point where you could flick on a lighter in front of her and it'd put the absolute fear of god in her
"I fear no man, yokai nor gods, but that thing"
**Points to Mokou**
"It *terrifies* me"
@@bryceisender9142 Yeah, that's a pretty good comparison, actually
Yuuka ❤
I love you ❤
I really like this song. It's pretty.
Such a hidden gem
it hurts but it's very good at the same time
i got about halfway through her fight on the 24th and now i haven't opened the game since because i'm scared i won't be able to make it that far again
This is a lil late but I don't think you need to worry too much, I actually 1cc'd this game on normal which is my first attempt with ReimuA and this is literally the second time I've touched this game after two years or so because I finally found a way to play the PC-98 games on my mac lmao, I feel like the game is more generous with lives, so don't be afraid to use bombs when ya need, hope you're able to finish it! Good luck!
You can really hear the trumpets in this one.
My God this is EPIC!
The more I listen to this song, the most I love it and become a bigger fan of Yuuka, what happens ???
Yes, Byakuren's "Devil's Recitation" Spellcard alludes to both Shinki and the spell she uses that looks exactly like the one shinki used before her last spell.
A very solid theme
0:42 is the best part
This has better mastering than the unused version, but the unused version is better overall.
Still - never a disappointing theme. This version just sounds even MORE like NecroFantasia.
Besides, this one's a little more macabre, and the later part...
is actually better than the unused version...
ok i can't choose anymore. They're both too good.
This one's more final-boss-y, I guess? But the other one starts out better... but this one ENDS so much better, and doesn't prematurely loop...
Yuuka the strongest PC98
side note why are pc98 songs so good with my phone's 3d stereo filter
Ah I see...thanks for clearing that up.
yeah, thats the one. and now though i'm not sure about it either, but it may of been the second part of the song if I recall.
Yuuka's gotta one of my favorites too. Every time I look at her I think "SCREW THE RULES I HAVE GREEN HAIR!".
0w= Beautiful I Luv PVD That Name Dream Refaint But THIS ONE IS GOOD THO
A theme and a half, man
whats funny is that I accidentally added the unused one to spotify so I never knew there was a 2nd melody until I decided to look at Akyuus untouched score again
Makes me fall in love with her.
*_Yuuka Kazami_* _幽香 風見_
¤ Youkai
☆ Plant manipulation
Virtually unchanged from her original version.
Cool novella. All anyone needs to know about Yuuka is that she can be quoted as having said genocide is a fun game.
Is this the original original original ORIGINAL or was there too many or too little?
I had to replay LLS many times to get through it on Normal mode. Reimu is very cruel with her ying-yang orb bouncing around. But Yuuka's double spark is much more scary than that. I completed with no bomb and life left.
pc-98!yuuka is the best yuuka.
Genocide is just a game ~♡
Cool
Yuuk is an easy stage 6 boss, my first time playing normal i pass sleeping "her" and this "her" without losing a life.
I don't believe you, unless you had extreme luck with that ring of stars, It's just plain impossible to dodge without that safespot.
What!? Safespot!? Oh I never knew..
Anyway, I said Normal mode, and the ring of star... ask me don't you, down twice, up once, done. No extreme luck there, because, they were too simple, some of those kind I was met before, like master spark I have fought Marisa in IN Lunatic (It's even double spark, but well), one spell of Yuuka in PoFV. You can say that Sleeping Yuuka got quite skill to beat, but if you known what It do before it launch it's got easier a bit. Even without hitbox, you still know where it is (playing other game too much make you clearly see hitbox without focus), and another, stage 3 and 4 rape me so much so I got 1 life left, thanks to stage 6 given me 1 more so I can get out of panic and scare of 2cc.
If you think carefully, does it easier than stage 3-5 of SoEW? Also the music there is better (PoDD is the best, no argument), I made it through like beating a stage 6 boss in easy.
Well sadly I cannot replay it, and I don't even know how to use fraps...
Lovely Memories~
@@Hizumi9922 how did you exactly remember that you defeated Reimu back then?
@@anunknowninvididual2005 it's simply~ you can tell from the movement. she was easy to beat.
More intense and darker-sounding than the unused version, and that turn during the chorus is everything. Vastly prefer this version.
It seems to me this one has aged rather well
Me: Hey! Yuuka! Wake up, sleepyhead! I want to play! :D
Yuuka: *mumble, grumble* ...fine... Let's "play"... -__-
Me: Yaaay- wait, what was that emphasis you put on the word "plaAAAHH!!
Yuuka: Oh my, it's fantastic how much "fun" we can have together. Why, I don't think I EVER want to stop "playing", do you? Oh, but of course you don't.
Me: MY RIBS ARE IN MY EYES!! THEY'RE IN MY EYES!!
Yuuka: And I'm going to make you wish they had remained there~♥ ^^
where have i heard the first part before
I keep hearing Kero 9 destiny every time I listen to this and Infinite Illusion or whatever the fuck its called. stuck in my head forever, apparently. guhh!
Yuuka is far from gentle in the canon. She's not a full-on sadist as she's depicted sometimes, but she has no qualms killing anyone that happens upon her sunflower field, and was described by ZUN in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense as having the very worst human friendship level among all youkai. I'm guessing the sadism depictions just took this and ran with it.
Let me quote yuuka "genocide is just a game"
Actually, her being an old youkai made her develop a very polite attitude towards those who don't mean harm. She's even often seen shopping for flowers in the human village, albeit always giving off a pressuring aura around her.
@@God-ch8lq That specific quote was actually a joke on her part, and the reactions of the other characters kinda confirm this also. She basically bully and troll people in the PC-98 era.
But yeah, she isn't a sadist but she is still a youkai, and an old one too, so yeah.
@@crowedarken she probably have like 660 years or something
@@God-ch8lq compared to that, Mima dialog is way more sadistic than that. Since she literally make fun of their enemies directly.
