This is the theme for Kiara Hakugaboshi name "Double-Down ~ Vespertine Enthrallment" from fan-made Touhou-Style album "Wavering Oath in Arcadia" Composer: tuck_vstar Artist: BirdFortune
@@AP011Y0N Oh, I could totally envision Kiara as a pirate in an alternate universe. I suppose she has the same sort of clandestine nature. Hmmm. At the time I was studying sample chop-shuffling, and by coincidence there is a bit of a precedent for using that technique in a few types of electro-swing (not that I would call this such). The direct inspirations for this track actually have their roots in speakeasy cabaret, I.E. 1920's speakeasy jazz. Look up Claire Fader and the Vaudevillains for an example -- though I've yet to compose anything quite on that level, I definitely took pages out of their book. Anyway, I felt that splashing in elements of that style into my flavor of Touhou music fit her casino aesthetic quite well, even including a few specific sound design choices like square wave samples that somewhat evoke the noises of a slot machine, along with the coin flip sound effect. In essence this is how I compose all of my music; I try to envision a fitting and nice-sounding concept of a melody, chord progression etc. naturally, and then I analyze other music and see if I can iterate on what they've done myself when expanding on my own music.
I keep coming back to this. The character alone is amazing and something I'd hope to see in Touhou and even see in said Touhou. And the music is just amazing, the start really setting the pace and then the melody at 0:35 and 1:10 is just amazing, wished it was longer since it felt so good with the song. But overall I'm addicted to this music like any good Touhou music.
To be honest I was expecting Unconnected Marketeers to have a boss like her in Stage 4 since it is fitting for stage 4 to have alternate spell cards or bosses and this girl is the type of boss I was expecting.
@@yas_g @Y. G Basically Basically- Th04 - If you pick Reimu you fight Marisa, If you pick Marisa you fight Reimu Th05 - If you take down Yuki you'll have a 2nd phase with Mai, If you take down Mai you'll have a 2nd phase with Yuki. Th06 - Patchouli Alternate Spells depending on your shot type. Th07 - If you pick Reimu you fight Lunasa, If you pick Marisa you fight Lyrica, If you pick Sakuya you fight Merlin. Th08 - If you pick Marisa & Alice / Sakuya & Remilia you fight Reimu, If you pick Reimu & Yukari / Youmu & Yuyuko you fight Marisa. Th11 - Satori's will copy your shot type partners spell cards. Th14 - If you pick Shot Type A you fight Benben, If you pick Shot Type B you fight Yatsuhashi.
This theme feels so much like a dividing point, if you win here, things are going to be very different moving onward, I'm in love with all this music, it perfectly conveys the right emotions and tells such magnificent scenarios, truly one of the best things I have stumbled across... Thank you for this! Please go support the artists for both the graphics and music!!
Funny you should mention that -- when I composed this I didn't really include many elements of breakcore (aside from the very fast tempo and chop-shuffling I suppose) but I AM actually currently working on a new Touhou-style soundtrack with explicit breakcore influences -- lots of heavily processed/chopped amen breaks and stuff. Can't wait for you to hear it!
@@arsann8701 I think they meant more the snake pipe, it is almost a copy of Sannyo's and the fact she appears to be related to gambling, too. She's a bootleg Sannyo. Granted I prefer her this lass's design, actually...
Thank you all for the positive reception on this theme. 🙏
It was so much fun to compose.
@@Sili1505 I'm sure BirdOfFortune would love to see fanart of their designs! I really love Kiara's and all of their other designs too.
Great theme. Good job bro!
late i know
was there anything that inspired you? i get strong pirate-y vibes from this song (its really good dont get me wrong)

SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO: El temazo
Literally obsessed over this theme
Best track in the Album, hands down!
very modern, technological and synth-y. AND THE MELODY GOES OFF DAMN.
I keep coming back to this.

If it's any consolation the Stage 3 boss was a lot like her.
Creadora de los orbes Hakurei y artesana de magamatas genuinas, conecta Hiffu con Touhou Project >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
her theme is so fascinating to hear! and her choice of fashion haha
She looks like a Mexican mom after she witnesses you break a vase 💀 “ *Hey reimu, did you just break my vase with my dads ashes in it…* “
lmao, I felt this, I'm chicano myself

I love the character design and theme!!
If "vouging" had a boss theme this would be it.
Her final spell card better be called "Cocktail Hour" or even better, "Last Hand [Lady Lucks Cocktail Hour]"
this sounds catchy and cool ngl!!
Those loops
yeah this is my first time extending, so you get what you did i guess
Este personaje y la música debe estar en el stage de jefe en Touhou 19
The deign of the character reminds me of sannyo from touhou 18
This theme lowkey gives me some Ace Attorney vibes, in a strange sense, like the beginning at least-
is there lore for these characters? one of my favourite parts of a new touhou coming out is reading the new character bios
One of Sannyo’s “employees”?
There are (very quick) character bios in the latest demo ost
What genre of music of this? I'd like to hear more songs like this! =D
Fall into the touhou style.rabbit hole
I'm stuck and i can't get out.
I don't want to get out anyways, touhou is to good.
touhou breakcore is possible

@@tuckvison i'll definetely look forward to that. this gave me some "EGOISM 440" vibes. perfect theme.
@@NekohitaTenko Thank you!!
69 CARDS
Proof?
@@touhouyamaxmichezuch.1302 look at the first 2 cards from the left in her hand
@@youdonotcare Ohhhh.
Just a comment for the algorithm dont mind me
ドレミーのテーマでも違和感無い
The music and characters had not been made before the release of Touhou 18?
not every chara with cards in it is a damn UM reference :)
@@arsann8701 I think they meant more the snake pipe, it is almost a copy of Sannyo's and the fact she appears to be related to gambling, too. She's a bootleg Sannyo. Granted I prefer her this lass's design, actually...
@@examswillkillmeoneday1265 oh yea for sure, Kiara ATE wit dat dress and do 👏👏 sannyos cool ig but plain in comparison
They were made about a year before UM's release.
@@examswillkillmeoneday1265 If you look at the old trailer you can see that Kiara's pipe wasn't snake-shaped then
What is she? One of Sannyo’s “employees”?
I think she might be a casino owner.
Everyone is making comments about how nice it is (and it is), so I'll be the one making the dumb one.
She does have nice cards before the ace.
