Unfortunetly this one is not from Zun, it's a cover of a japanese children's song that you're supposed to sing while playing a game called "kagome kagome". I too absolutely love what Zun did with it but I wouldn't call it a Touhou OST.
+Kezedrix well i don't really agree about that. What seems to be related to Kagome kagome here is the very beginning of the track. ZUN didnt just inspired himself only from that song (and honestly this little intro is not the best part IMO). But dayum look at this track, there's some original and awesome work in this shit, so for me it's a totally complete touhou OST. EDIT : Of course the ring of Kagome come back often in the track, but please, in a song there's not only everything about the melody itself.
Fair enough. I probably thought this because the intro is so catchy and it's the part I always end up humming. But yeah the magic does lie in the refrain. Damn you Zun, being awesome as always!
Discussing power levels of the characters of Touhou is an extremely pointless task. Simply because, the vast majority of the characters have completely game-breaking powers. Reimu can fly over reality. Remilia can manipulate fate, making her opponent become her servant. Keine can alter history so you were never born. Suika can spread herself all over the entire in-game world at once, hearing and seeing EVERYTHING. Sakuya controls the two cosmic mysteries of the universe. And then there's Yukari.
I get interested in the title of the song, and when I listened to it for the first time, i just thought: "Whoa this is just like the kagome2 I imagined!"
It ain't new to get rekt in a touhou game in the first few tries. But, that's why you have the Practice option. At least, it beats getting decapitated by Nazi scientists. Because once you die in real life, you don't get a respawn or retry.
its relevant to the stage this theme is for. "A pure cage in an impure world," refering to the lunarians sanctuary in Eientei on Earth, the "impure world."
Out of all the fantastic Stage 5 themes out there, this one has to be my favorite. It's so powerful. Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple being my 2nd favorite, and Lullaby of a Deserted Hell being my 3rd.
I watched Robotics;Notes back in 2013 and it uses "Kagome Kagome" as a leitmotif to signal that things are about to go very bad, very quickly. Years later, I played Imperishable Night, got to this stage for the first time, and I don't think I've ever experienced such sheer visceral terror in a video game as I did upon hearing the first bars of "Kagome-Kagome". IIRC I did not survive for long after that.
This music makes me feel like this music sounds to me like I want to be a hero but it is not an easy thing to become a hero because I will face a lot of strong enemies !
Kagome, Kagome, the bird in the cage, when will you come out? In the evening of the dawn, the crane and turtle slipped and fell. Who stands right behind you now?
Good beginning (0:00 - 0:09) Favorite part 1: 0:10 - 0:22 Epic beat! (why does anxiety melody go so hard, lol) 0:23 - 0:46 Again! :O (head-banging commences) 0:47 Music was so intense, the trumpets lost their voice for a bit, LOL! 0:48 - 1:12 SO EPIC AND MOTIVATING. 1:13 Nice traditional instrument, I assume :) 1:32 - 1:42 Nice 1:43 - 1:57 it’s heating up… Favorite Part 2: 1:58 - 2:21 SO MOTIVATING AND HEROIC! 2:22 - 2:33 Noice 2:34 - 2:47 SO TRIUMPHANT. (Loops) Definitely the craziest stage 5 music so far. Side note, but I’ve seen some people claim that the trumpets are “loud” or “annoying”, or that PCB’s soundtrack is “loud”, but I’d just suggest that they turn down their volume instead of playing it on full blast since I don’t see the problem with the music otherwise, and I’m using earbuds, ngl (I understand Necrofantasia, though). I always listen to music with the volume preferably under 70 decibels and it sounds great to me. Honestly, I really like this and I don’t care what anyone says. The music is just so desperate/intense, but awesome at the same time. It gives the vibe of “you have to save the world and if you don’t, it’ll be destroyed” I don’t know which one is my favorite, to be honest. I just find something that I like and talk about it, and there’s not really anything that I dislike about it either. I really like it Well then, let us meet again in the next song, shall we?
Ironic this theme sounds like it's for a tragic character but most people think Twei is a happy-go-lucky prankster. It's a nice song though, I love the drum beat in the background.
Circle you, circle you Please don't try to run from us Circle you, circle you What games will we play, can I guess? Before the moon sets again You can play with us until then!

@pakulu98 What if... That is why discussions on power levels are forbidden. Gensokyo is a nice place. The girls don't go around waging war on one another using their powers to dominate the wonderland, because it wouldn't last one hour if they did. I like the immense amounts of backstory given for the Eientei crew. It really makes them seem quite odd even when compared to other inhabitants of Gensokyo, though.
Lol, though, no matter what, in the end, Reimu's going to end up winning in the end anyway (canonically anyway) since she's the main character so she's pretty much invincible. >_>
wesley wang Yes it's her 3 spell. The green mazething which moves around because auf the big bullets she shoots at it. Probably her easiest spell if you don't count Lavatein.
Flandre's spell is actually named after this song. It's an arrangement of a traditional song in Japan. Kagome kagome / Kago no naka no tori wa Itsu itsu deyaru / Yoake no ban ni Tsuru to kame ga subetta. Ushiro no shoumen daare The accepted translation is: Kagome kagome / The bird in the cage, When, oh when will it come out In the night of dawn The crane and turtle slipped Who is behind you now? In Flandre's case, she was the bird trapped in the cage (basement) whereas for this theme Kaguya is the bird, and Eientei is the cage. The pure cage in this filthy world.
Did you forget Flandre ? That said, in canon Yukari herself said she is not match to Shiki Eiki ... In fact, she said that Her, Yuyuko AND Reimu in the same time still not enough to match Shiki ....
Didn't claim she could, but she can create and change history. Changing things so they never happened is as close to erasing as anyone would need to be anyways.
And Gensokyo is only Reimu's dream, so of course everything makes sense. (And yeah, I know that's not canon, I know it's cliché, but eh, this scenario was epic.)
Eientei is a weird place. They have to be different and have rabbits instead of fairies. Tewi deems you unworthy of her spell cards. Reisen is Yukari-grade powerful with the ability to control waves, but uses it to screw with people's minds. Kaguya has the power to manipulate enternity, which she doesn't use at all (except her Last Spells) and instead spam her lolweak "impossible" requests. Eirin calls everyone stupid, which is annoying, and works part-time as a stage 6 boss. That's just... wat.
@CadrinHaverit yukari already does that border between particle and waves is a spellcard in stb and satouri uses it in SA and if reisen can do that then keine can make sure that reisen was never born using her abilities
@pakulu98 Power levels aside, there is a theory in physics that all particles have properties of both particles AND waves. If Reisen realized that, she could probably warp reality in ways quite similar to Yukari's. We all know that Cirno is the strongest of all. But yeah, Imperishable Night is pretty damn easy compared to other games from the series.
@pakulu98 I really hate doing that. But I suppose so. Keine could write anyone out of history while Remilia could make sure that her adversaries meet a grim fate. Perhaps. Maybe. We will likely never know...
@SauruKakera I listened to the Vocaloid version before this one and knew the translated lyrics. Entire reason why I went "OMFG" and clicked this one to listen to. Happily it doesn't include a Miku cutting you in half at the end.... o.o'''
The first second of the stage: Oh , this seem like a relax theme
Moment later: Holy mother of god....
The reason why zun put good music in touhou to Decrease our stress
Me literally. Like, it's already stressful beating Marisa, and the first things the next stages give was a barrage of near-impossible bullet patterns
This is by far one of the best Touhou OST : That fucking power coming at 0:23 is just pure genius.
Unfortunetly this one is not from Zun, it's a cover of a japanese children's song that you're supposed to sing while playing a game called "kagome kagome".

Damn you Zun, being awesome as always!
The phrase "Heck off Tewi" gets uttered more than anything else in that Stage, I have Reisen down to an artform but Tewi ALWAYS snags a life off of me
Reimu and Marisa always screw me up whenever I’m playing
@@rett064 I have Marisa down, but Reimu to me is the hardest boss in the game.
Good luck 1cc-ing.
I can't help but sing the "Kagome Kagome" song everytime I play Tewi's theme.
Kagome Kagome + ZUN's musical skills = Addiction itself.

Yukari you can't really call her ability a power as much as it is just pure HAX.
*hecatia joined the chat*
Well if you say no clipping to your destination is an ability then I guess it would count
Newbie: "Well, what's Yukari's power?"
Touhou veteran: "Yes."
yet they're all balanced because spell cards :p
Hm. I saw that Title and could only think of one Thing. "Nicolas Cage Cinderella would be Awesome"
Oh god xD
THIS EXIST NOW
I saw it and thought "inuyasha inuyasha"
@@spinkappa7789it does?!
I didn't realize the motif in this was Kagome Kagome until I read the song title.
mind = blown
I get interested in the title of the song, and when I listened to it for the first time, i just thought: "Whoa this is just like the kagome2 I imagined!"
In fact, what appears to to be the melody of the actual song is repeated many times in the music.
1:14 and here's where Tewi comes in.
I use to wonder why this theme gave me nostalgia until I realize it’s been in several videos I’ve loved to watch a lot when I was younger
**search entry: Kagome kagome**
Vocaloid: creepypastas with nazis and decapitation
Touhou: cute little mischevious rabbit loli
Complete 180 as you can see.
Rabbit loli that will demolish you before Reisen Udonge can even reach you
It ain't new to get rekt in a touhou game in the first few tries. But, that's why you have the Practice option.
At least, it beats getting decapitated by Nazi scientists. Because once you die in real life, you don't get a respawn or retry.
@@rett064 I don't know if i'm weird, but i actually had more problems with the field than reisen.
@keine3087 I had more problems with Reimu than Kaguya or Eirin so I must be just as weird lol
Tewi killed me more times than Reisen did
Kaaagome, Kagome, kago no naka no tori wa... ~

its relevant to the stage this theme is for. "A pure cage in an impure world," refering to the lunarians sanctuary in Eientei on Earth, the "impure world."
Probably the biggest troublemaker in Gensokyo.
Well.. the biggest troublemaker or Troll is Seija.
Incidents count as troublemaking, right?
If so then theres moriya shrine
@@uboa8060 xD
Welp, Tewi has poisoned Reisen before so
Out of all the fantastic Stage 5 themes out there, this one has to be my favorite. It's so powerful.
Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple being my 2nd favorite, and Lullaby of a Deserted Hell being my 3rd.

0:45 this straight up sounds like a victory theme
Best Stage theme in IN ever
In IN
Lul
touhou OUT when
This music makes me feel like this music sounds to me like I want to be a hero but it is not an easy thing to become a hero because I will face a lot of strong enemies !
this is my favorite track in all of touhou
its so exciting !!
For those who doesn't know, Kagome is actually a song sung in a Japanese children's game.
the intro even sounds vaguely like said children's song
Kagome, Kagome, the bird in the cage,
when will you come out?
In the evening of the dawn,
the crane and turtle slipped and fell.
Who stands right behind you now?
This is, like, the best "pure fun" touhou track. Dayum this one's good
Touhou music is always the best
Koishi - Can literally stop the beating of your heart

Good beginning (0:00 - 0:09)
Favorite part 1: 0:10 - 0:22 Epic beat! (why does anxiety melody go so hard, lol)
0:23 - 0:46 Again! :O (head-banging commences)
0:47 Music was so intense, the trumpets lost their voice for a bit, LOL!
0:48 - 1:12 SO EPIC AND MOTIVATING.
1:13 Nice traditional instrument, I assume :)
1:32 - 1:42 Nice
1:43 - 1:57 it’s heating up…
Favorite Part 2: 1:58 - 2:21 SO MOTIVATING AND HEROIC!
2:22 - 2:33 Noice
2:34 - 2:47 SO TRIUMPHANT.

Definitely the craziest stage 5 music so far.

Well then, let us meet again in the next song, shall we?
I just noticed the beginning of this song and the midboss portion is actually the tune for the real children's game song "Kagome, Kagome". Damn
Fun fact: the climax of “Kagome Kagome” from vocaloid can be aligned with the beginning of this song
Because both are based on the original Japanese song Kagome Kagome
fun fact: the classic children's song "kagome kagome" from japan can be aligned with the beginning and bridge of this song

In Flandre's case, she was the bird trapped in the cage (basement) whereas for this theme Kaguya is the bird, and Eientei is the cage. The pure cage in this filthy world.
Why are people talking about Koishi, she wasn’t in touhou 8 :p
@Woldsky for me, the ability to control history is the most powerful
Keine FTW!!
Keine can't erase history
2:23 the best part
And also girls coming down from the moon... seems legit
Did you forget Flandre ? That said, in canon Yukari herself said she is not match to Shiki Eiki ... In fact, she said that Her, Yuyuko AND Reimu in the same time still not enough to match Shiki ....
