His sister is Flandre who asked him to play her theme for his debut and Touhou is just Yukari's way of spreading belief of youkai to the outside world and forces Zun to create the franchise
Well the slow part at the end sound a bit like waltz but still it is not waltz. Actually I believe the name death waltz was using waltz for his meaning ( something like balroom ) so the title is something like death's balroom?
***** death waltz didn't sound like waltz either, because no one knows what the hell it sounded like, (though i'm sure waltz didn't have gong duets) it's written as a joke and nothing in it makes any musical sense or any other kind of sense for that matter. the confusing between the two pieces came by when someone made a black midi of UN owen and the bloke who reuploaded it linked the song with Death Waltz because they are both impossible to play.
Never played a touhou game in my life but I know the music well because of Vocaloid. This song in particular is practically a meme in any and all anime communities for being impossible to play (and as people have mentioned, he's playing an easier version, but his skill is still extremely impressive). If you're an anime fan and you like music, it's almost impossible not to run into Vocaloid and Touhou, especially if you're young and hungry for weeb shit. I still don't actually know what the fuck Touhou is other than it started as a bullet hell game and then fans made a million spinoffs. I don't know anything about the characters and frankly I don't really care lol.
As someone who plays piano, I can tell you that kid is damn skilled for his age. Yeah, he made some mistakes, but he never hesitated afterwards and just kept playing. Do you know how hard it is to do that? Because let me tell you, I STILL have trouble with it and I'm almost 21.
lol Sometimes, when we have a concert, we play a game where we try to trick the audience into thinking we're done playing when we really aren't. It's funny when they fall for it.
BoltFraction ... wooow. It's funny when you know a bit about psychology and you can tell exactly from what kind of people those comments come. And also when you exactly know what they're gonna post in reply to this comment. _(On a serious note: Come the fuck on, it's the 21st century... I think we can safely say civilized people are just _*_through_*_ with stereotypes bias towards ethnic, religious or fandom groups. Seriously... ^^)_
AniGa - Anime, Games & More While it's charming how pretentious you are, and how intelligent you pretend to be, bleeding a little less misguided self-importance would aid you well in the future. My comment was in reference to the character who the theme being performed belongs to - Flandre Scarlet (from The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Touhou Project). Said character spent 495 years locked away in a basement by others for fear of her powers. By your comment, I know you didn't expect this reply. Enjoy the curve-ball, and walk away a wiser person.
BoltFraction "misguided self-importance" - Calm down. I was in a pissy mood. :P "walk away a wiser person" - Nope. I walk away a facepamed person because AAARGH, so that's what you meant... Dx But dude, people can't hear your voice on the internet,.. read that comment of yours and try to tell me you're immediately able to tell it's just sarcasm or a joke. It really reads like you pointlessly insulted the kid, that's why I got pissy in the first place. xD
Ani Ga Actually, I don't see how that would be an insult really. I would have interpreted this as the kid is subject to abuse and was forced to practice the piano relentlessly. That's not the kid's fault, and nobody would say that as an insult towards the kid. At least any decent human being wouldn't use that as an insult. Maybe as a joke, but not to straight up insult him. Also, as someone else who knows a bit about psychology, I know not to assume things off such a small sample. I especially wouldn't claim to know what the person is going to say next of that.
KingShoter007 Well, I'm pretty sure the judges weren't pianists, either, but it's about how good it sounds, simple as that. Most people here praise the kid because the music is from a game they like (and because he's a kid, I get it, but children can learn things much faster than adults, and I assume he's been practicing for years). I mean, you can probably tell I like Touhou, too, but this arrangement wasn't very pleasing to listen to. Not discrediting the kid's hard work, though.
I don't enjoy this in the context of passive listening, but as a performance and technical display it works very well. That's... what a talent show is.
Everything impressive here: Somebody his age playing U.N. Owen was Her Somebody playing U.N. Owen was Her on TV The arrangement of U.N. Owen was Her All of the above combined.
Fun fact: he also played night of nights ([flowering nights], but seems the notes he was playing suited night of nights more) In another contest. th-cam.com/video/ovmp3wkgNrE/w-d-xo.html
Yousef S it doesn't take a musician, just someone who understands what they are supposed to be listening for. To be a composer you don't even have to play an instrument. And it doesn't take a virtuoso pianist to hear the mistakes made in a piano piece, even the uneducated can do that much.
"To be a composer you don't even have to play an instrument" " It's not the art, it's the person preforming that's being criticized." what a time to be alive 1- the arrangement is arguable, it's just the core theme mingled with some standard improvisation tricks 2-the arrangement is critisized, not the kid, i personally am not a fan of this arrangement, but i don't even know if he's done it himself 3-if you want to be a decent composer you have to at least study music theory, but it would be quite useless if you couldn't put it into notes through an instrument
I think Pianists are usually the ones more forgiving of other pianists' mistakes. They know how stressful it is to play for a large group of people and can relate to someone missing a jump.

What the hell is wrong with all of you, people!? This kid's amazing! It's his own version, it doesn't have to be exactly like the ones you like. He did an amazing job. This song is hard, you know? A few mistakes are ok, but overall, he nailed it.
+TheGamingEssence hardest song in the world? while the fact he managed it is impressive, and very talented, this is nowhere near the hardest song in the world. In fact, based on the simplicity of it, the lack of the need to move the hand in complex patterns make this a very easy song to master given time to practice.
I respect the hell out of that guy. But assuming that this took place roughly 5-6 years ago, he might be a bit older than me. I’m honestly curious what other Touhou Song can he play other than UN Owen and Flowering Nights
At first I didn't believe that he was really playing the song at all. But paying attention to the keys really solidified my belief he really did that. Pretty gutsy move for someone on national Norwegian tv

ppyporpeem I like how people think it's pronounced "Toohoo / Tuhu". xD
AniGa - Anime, Games & More indeed lololol it's truly amusing :D
Why so much hate? Its quite impressive for a kid playing this. I bet half of you guys can't even play the piano
keep up with the good work m8
Winicrow arrangements dont have to be authentic bud
I personally dont care. A Touhou song is a Touhou song! And it made it on Public Television.
no clapping during performance. NO CLAPPING
This kid! Playing one of my favorite songs. Brutal to play. Well done! And Bravo!
I can hear touhou fans are screaming of joy
Right here, and I'm proud
Damn I miss Touhou. I played Touhou when I was 4 and that was one in 2009. My Touhou game I ever played was Touhou 6. So many damn memories.
This arrangement is truly impressive! he out his own flare in the chords and made it his own, And I'm happy that he's happy
SO GOOOD!!
Playing touho music for a talent show, absolute mad lad
What the hell is wrong with all of you, people!? This kid's amazing! It's his own version, it doesn't have to be exactly like the ones you like. He did an amazing job. This song is hard, you know? A few mistakes are ok, but overall, he nailed it.
Ike ITS A TEN YEAR OLS KID PLAYING ONE OF THE HARDEST SONGS IN THE WORLD
+TheGamingEssence hardest song in the world? while the fact he managed it is impressive, and very talented, this is nowhere near the hardest song in the world. In fact, based on the simplicity of it, the lack of the need to move the hand in complex patterns make this a very easy song to master given time to practice.
+Emily Evelin I said one of them
+Emily Evelin Also, it is based on what I have seen not you.
@@emilyevelan6121 I need your video playing this please pretty please plzplzplzplz.
as a touhou fan i would absolutely do anything to meet this kid. so goddamn talented
THE PEOPLE THERE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GREATNESS THEY JUST WITNESSED
Too bad so many notes were missed but it was absolutely impressive.
(also we got mainstream guys)
The kid just looks like he's having a grand ole time
I ALWAYS WATCH THIS NORWEGIAN SHOW WHY DID I NEVER SEE HIM
Back to this video like a year or 2 later
But this is greatness, best girl's theme UwU
Applaud to the kid aswell for his talented skills, nice job
I respect the hell out of that guy.
But assuming that this took place roughly 5-6 years ago, he might be a bit older than me.
I’m honestly curious what other Touhou Song can he play other than UN Owen and Flowering Nights
Considering your comment's competency, I wouldn't take you for someone younger than the performer here, but hey, you learn something new everyday huh?
Um, do you expect him to write a whole resume
That kid is cultured
If anime is the definition of culture to you, how does it testify about yourself and your own nationality?
@@Tycini1 what does touhou music have to do with anime in ANY WAY LOLLL
I love the fact that every year I come back to this video and every time there's new top comments
I am crying, this is beautiful.
The audience has fallen for the cranberry trap
J'approuve !
J'aurais jamais imaginé voir du touhou à l'incroyable talent !
C'est quand même incroyable la Norvège
Ouai
Not only is he actually talented... great arrangement, it had phrasing, dynamic and musical expression!
At first I didn't believe that he was really playing the song at all. But paying attention to the keys really solidified my belief he really did that. Pretty gutsy move for someone on national Norwegian tv
0:54 *HEY, AN ALIEN!!!*
i really want to see the reactions and the questions of the judges ^^
This arrange is beautiful
Give me your profile picture. I need it.
This showed up in my reccomendations a few years and I didn't know anything about touhou back then, but now im in love with touhou
Bet those guys have no idea what he is playing lol
This kid can play touhou songs and im over here trying to get a fucking shiny magikarp.
absolutely epic
