Marisa is the girl with a witch hat (3:39), and she is one of the 2 main characters of Touhou. Alice is the character who was singing, and she controls dolls with magic threads. Alice also named her dolls after various places (i.e. Shanghai, Hourai, 3:23, etc.). Marisa stole Alice’s Heart, hence “Marisa stole the precious thing.” Marisa x Alice - a.k.a “MariAri” or “Malice” - is one of the most popular fanon ships in Touhou. Both of them are witches, and they have very entertaining dialogue in the games.
Most old Touhou songs are more like meme music videos. My suggestion is Akatsuki Records. They are a big group that releases amazing Touhou songs, and their singer Stack is the Ado of Touhou songs with a really unique voice. Their songs are usually themed after one or two characters from the games. My favorites are "Shout It Out Loud!!!", "HELLOHELL" and "Black Mirror on the Wall" songs.
Im so sorry, there also exist alot of "poop" Touhou stuff. I dont know who gave you this... but they clearly trolled the shit out of you. here some actually good stuff: th-cam.com/video/RtTYQuO1j6w/w-d-xo.html
Touhou's music is extremely rich and wonderful thanks to Zun the only composer of nearly 600 songs. In order not to confuse you, here are the must-listen songs: U.N. Owen Was Her? Hartmann's Youkai Girl Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17 Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind Native Faith ... There are many other great songs, but I will let you find out for yourself. Have fun!
@@spb.Balion Thanks for the suggestion, but based on Luke's reaction in this video, I don't think it's the best choice for him at the moment. Touhou is a masterpiece and music is part of it, so it would be better to suggest him the songs that make up Zun's trademark rather than make him think that Touhou is all about memes.
I think it's worth mentioning that it's OKAY to be confused by touhou because a lot of the meme culture around Touhou was deliberately nonsensical in the same way that Monty Python might be nonsensical. You're doing fine, this content is literally just ABSURD on PURPOSE. Touhou had a strong community of "absurd random bullshit" so basically this came from an era when it was memeable to use the melody of the game soundtrack and shove a ton of random sound clips together. IOSYS definitely leaned HARD into this when they did touhou remixes. We used to spam these songs in TF2 micspam servers
@@chainsofscarlet9054 on the level of actually more serious kinds of suggestions I would probably say Sound Holic's cover of Disunified Field Theory of Magic or the Touhou Kinema Kan Openings and Endings
I'd definitely recommend 'Cirno's Perfect Math Class' (both the original and the ninth anniversary version); they're slightly more comprehensible, and slightly less like you're on an acid trip. Marisa is the witch from the video, and she's heavily memed in the fandom as stealing... well, basically everything. She uses the justification that she's a mortal human and will eventually die, while the people's she's stealing from are immortal and so can take it back once she's dead. She also has the objective of becoming immortal herself.
Some thing you may want to know. The precious thing, is implied in the song, that marisa stole her heart... Touhou is a game franchice, whose game developer, artist, and musician, Junya Ota A.K.A. ZUN, said, anyone can create anything as long as they follow some guidelines... Leaving the freedom of internet grow from the games... Touhou is a danmaku, a bullet hell game, and all the game has music, not songs those are written by the comunity for the comunity. And Usually you could see which character it its is music from because they usually put it in hidden or modified... I think you would like the next groups/circles Undead Corporation, EastNewSound, Unlucky Morpheus, Akatsuki Records
As someone who was just as confused back in the day, Marisa is the secondary main character of the games series and she is somewhat known as a bit of a mischief maker and thief (as well as witch), and this character in the video is Alice a puppeteer from the 7th game and she has a bit of an implied crush on Marisa. The precious thing she stole was her heart. It is being discussed by the character with a brown hat and Alice and it's a bit more clear in the subtitled short version, which also doesn't have the weird ear-buster at the end, which I believe they just added because people asked them for the full version and they complied in the most passive aggressive way possible, (this being the early days of the internet and all)
My recommendation is "Adieu, to this Lively Graveyard" by [Akatsuki Records] and "Necromantic", by the same BTW, if you see 東方 in the title, that is the characters for "Touhou"
Since we're on the mid-2000's nostalgia train, a recommendation that's not directly Touhou, but involves a few iconic Touhou songs: Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga Medley There are a few different Nico Nico Douga medleys, Kumikyoku being the most famous. It features a medley of the greatest hits from anime, video games, and Touhou from around 2007 and was generally considered the internet's unofficial anthem for the mid- to late-2000's. Don't worry about finding the "original" or "true" version of this, as it was originally made and published on NicoNicoDouga, Japan's competitor for early-era TH-cam. AFAIK, the true original is lost to history. There are versions with English translations, versions that show what the source songs are from, and versions that show who the original singers of the medley were - whichever aspect you want to focus on.
Welcome to Touhou fandom, this thing sucked me in so hard that I ended up doing a mini pilgrimage to Akimiya Shrine for my post Covid revenge travel. Personally I'd recommend you to listen the original songs by ZUN first before you listen to the fan take of said song. But that's up to you. Also Bloody Devotion by Akatsuki Records is a banger. Now, if you want a metal take of Alice's OST, look up Doll Judgement by Demetori. Edit: regarding IOSYS, they also did make metal cover albums with Minami as lead guitarist. Sparking Slash, 9190, Beyond the Core, and End of Underground are my favourites.
i need to mention Cirno's perfect math class because it is the most well known Touhou fansongs. a thing I'd like to mention is that the songs that the Touhou community use the original game's songs to make insane songs that are absurd and insane. also if you do start playing Touhou start with 6 embodiment of the scarlet devil as it's a great starting point in the series
You have to keep in mind, Touhou has been around for a LONG time (more than 20 years) it's had time to cook. There are like more than 25 games out there, all with roughly 15 unique sound tracks. Most of those sound tracks have like 10 or more remixes in different genres, not to mention fan animations and such. To say it is "deep" is a vast understatement. I honestly don't know how to advise you to move forward, there are WAY too many directions.
You should definitely also check IOSYS - Convictor Yamaxanadu! (a.k.a original soundtrack "Eastern Judgement in the Sixtieth Year - Fate of Sixty Years") Touhou world is definitely worth your attention)))
Apparently the reason why it was a 4k video is because it was made in Flash. I am sure you could find it on the comments on that video explaining it. Something to do with the vectors. So if you could find the source files online for the other videos they could probably be uploaded into 4k as well. RIP Flash
McDonald's Japan recently contracted IOSYS to recreated this video as an ad for their triple patty 'samurai mac' burger for their Japanese twitter account.
"One of you motherfuckers said to check IOSYS with no guidance and now here I am, confused" You're welcome, Luke 😂 Confusion is par for the course regarding Touhou
Yeah like what I said in your reaction to Bad Apple, Touhou's community makes content that the series creator ZUN accepts. Which also includes bands, song remixes, comics, animations, music videos, fan made animes, video games and etc. Also it should be mentioned that there are no playable males in the series. As the characters of all the games are female. With the execption fo Rinnosuke who is a half human half Yokai which owns a store that sells stuff from our world. As for some recommendations: Cirno's Perfect Math Class and it's 9th Anniversary version. -The reason why there is a 9th anniversary version and not a 10th anniversary is because Cirno is associated with the number 9. Edit: WHO RUINED THE NUMBER OF LIKES?! And I lost the heart that I recieved.... Well at least I have the notification that proves I recieved it.
Touhou is hard to fully understand without at least looking up some basic information about the series Other than that, starting with IOSYS Music Videos is a good way to start, they are catchy, recognizable and popular, although you won't be able to appreciate all the inside jokes they thrown in it. "Akatsuki Records" or "Shinra Bansho" could be another great starting points, since they are bands that make less memey and reference-filled MVs I'd suggest you: - Necromantic by Akatsuki Records - HELLOHELL by Akatsuki Records - HANIPAGANDA by Akatsuki Records - Three Fairies SAY YA!!! by Shinra Bansho - Inconcious Requiem by Shinra Bansho - Nethaminity Theatre "666" by Shinra Bansho All of these can be found on their respective channels and have TH-cam subtitles you can turn on
Beyond that door, is a BEATIFUL PV about Alice (one of the characters). Theres literally thousands of Touhou PV on youtube (Absolute one-way street is anoter amazing one) and don't get me started with the massive music library. You can spend all the year listening to Touhou music in all the genres you can imagine (RD Sounds is my favourite circle). You have entered to a new dimension, I welcome you and wish you a fun and long travel- Pd: BTW, this is some weird extended version I've never listened to, and I'm glad I didn't. The original is just half the duration of this one-
I think it was some kind of meme video. what I want to recommend is not a meme or a song but just a perfect, "Touhou 3d" series by minusT , the short description of this is what the touhou games would look like in 3d, it also has some good music, a very small part of the context from the games themselves, and of course a heeell of bullets 1 episode called [Touhou 3D] Reimu vs Remilia
Day 89 of recommending the Beyblade openings. There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
By the way, this one is more or less a meme. There are a lot of these. This is just a remix of The stage three boss theme of touhou 7. The name of the boss is alice margatroid.
[Touhou 3D] Reimu vs Remilia by minusT A great introduction into Touhou fan made works for both video and music. Song selections are from other fans. There are 6 finalised videos on this channel, best watched in order, all starting with [Touhou 3D], they are Reimu vs Remilia Marisa vs Flandre Reimu vs Yuyuko Humans vs Yukari Subterranean Stars Brambly Boundries
Right I forgot to tell a couple more info Touhou and Vocaloid are unrelated, but the communities are intertwined The music you hear are unofficial remixes of the games' ost, as each character has at least one theme dedicated to them (this time was Alice Margatroid's theme). Touhou has a very loose copyright infringement system, so everyone can make fan content of any kind for Touhou (music, art, games, anime, you name it). Iosys is a Touhou centered band, just like Akatsuki Records and Shinra-Banho and a hundred others, and they all remix Touhou music on literally any genre you could imagine (there are an estimated 100k REMIXES HIDDEN THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET) I've already posted some tracks you'd like to hear on this same video!
Yeah, what people should have also warned you is that a lot of IOSYS's Touhou songs - especially the famous ones like Precious Thing and "It Starts in the Affected Area" have a lot of Stupid Statement Dance Mix, to quote the TV Trope. The ones that don't are full of 2000s anime memes like referencing Higurashi and School Days Anyway, this song is based on Doll Judgement, the song that plays when you fight Alice Murgatroid (blonde girl who fights with dolls) in Touhou 7. Thanks to her interactions with Marisa (blonde witch) in the following game, fandom sees her as a bit of a tsundere. But yes, honestly? Listen to the actual game music.
Please react to【Multilanguage Cover】Touhou: Bad Apple, it is a cover of Bad Apple but its sung in multiple languages by one guy who fluently speaks all of those languages.
Tohou is a series of bullet hell game made by ZUN. He composed amazing music/OST, and let the fan use it. You can start with the OST from the game (boss theme are the most iconic). Or searching for "Tohou PV or PVD", these are top quality fan made music vidéos. And for me, the best Fan made anime is " The Memories of Phantasm" with good opening you can react.
I kind of feel like one third of the internet meme content is from Touhou and another third is from JoJo, and the rest are from somewhere else. I had heard this song long before I even knew where it originated from. If you stay on the internet long enough you are bound to come across some of this stuff sooner or later. Edit: I have to admit that I never thought I'd be hearing this song on this channel but here we are. I can't even remember when was the last time I heard it.
Seriously, for me the best Touhou doujinshi music artist is Stack from Akatsuki Records. Everytimes it's banger: Karmanations, Necromantic (DOKI DOKI WAKU WAKU, it's stuck in my mind forever), Rock 'n' Rock 'n' Beats (Sekibanki... you're too cute to be scarry), etc. I don't really know if Akatsuki Records allow react to his video, but you need to check these songs.
Btw, this song is about Alice (the short hair blond girl) that fell in love with Marisa (the long haired blond witch character appearing in the mirror thing). It's very meme song in Touhou community. So the precious thing is kinda Alice love.
OMG the nostalgia!!! I saw the title and was like "that sounds familiar" then the song started and omg, I haven't heard this in forever! My friends used to love this shit back in the day! It confused me then and it still confuses me now.
Touhou is a series of videogames created by a single japanese developer that goes by the alias ZUN, who does all the programming, illustrations and ingame music by himself. ZUN has been releasing these games ever since 1996. Gameplay wise it's one of those topview downscrolling shooting games with massive walls of bullets in certain paterns that you need to dodge, while simultaniously shooting down enemies, generally these are monsters from japanese folklore depicted as cute anime girls. Every stage has it's own musical theme, followed by a bossfight with another musical theme. The series recieved a massive cult following in japan where fans expanded on the virtually non existing lore with their own headcannon, some of which became accepted by the wider comunity as meme-culture. There are hundreds if not thousands of bands who make arrangements of the ingame music. IOSYS is one of those bands. And Marisa Stole The Precious Thing is just one of over a thousand different arrangements of the same themesong. There are multiple conventions each year in japan where these bands actually sell CD's of their musical arrangements. You'll easily find 10's of thousands of touhou arrangements on youtube alone.
Here we go into another rabbit hole...welcome, my friend~ If i had to say....i would go with U.N. Owen was her, Locked Girl, Necrofantasia or Night of Knights... Overdrive and Help me, Erin are also very good...
LUKE! Check out the original soudntrack before checking other covers like these ones! Maybe even first listen to the original before, and then the recommended fan cover, in the same video! That said... I personally recommend Death Waltz / (UN Owen was her?) By Rush Garcia It explored the orchestrated side of Touhou music
Touhou is a crazy, wierd and amazing rabbithole. If you want directed guidance, you should watch Cirno's Perfect Math Class next, and make sure to watch it subbed!
Yeah, IOSYS is responsible for most of the meme worthy content in Touhou. Don't think too hard about it, a lot of it IS random. There is a other music groups for Touhou out there, if you are looking more normal songs, like from Yuuhei Satellite, Akatsuki Records, Undead Corperation, est. No matter which group you choose to check next, I recommend you look for their arrangement of The Gensokyo the Gods Loved. It's a VERY iconic theme from the series, no matter who does the arrangement. You can't go wrong with it. If you are considering playing the games, be warned that the main games are mostly bullets hells. Or if you're not familiar with the term, they are top down, arcade style shooters where you dodge enemy bullets and shoot the enemies. Except Touhou bullet hells leans HEAVILY on the dodging aspect. The games are infamously hard for new players, and takes a lot of practice to clear even one of them. Good luck, if you choose to play one!
Since you've officially started down the Touhou rabbit hole, I'd like to recommend a few of the more well known music videos for you to react to. IOSYS - Cirno's Perfect Math Class SOUNDHOLIC - Dial Connected "Lunar Clock~Luna Dial" SOUNDHOLIC - Infinite World Sound Online - The Subterranean Prominence IOSYS - Fragrance of Oriental Sunflower
"Osana Reimu" and it sequel "Touhou Reireimu" are sort of dramatized motion comics that have a lot of heart. Though probably wait till a bit more familiar with some other varied Touhou content before these.
... Why oh why out of all doujin circles, you told Luke to check out IOSYS without specifying which song and giving any context... Luke (accidentally) got thrown right into the deep end (meme-y) of Touhou music was amusing, but if he continuously got confused... That doesn't sound fun, so here's some context. :v th-cam.com/video/M0sqbzMWcmg/w-d-xo.html - gave a pretty good explanation, if you want to react to (or even if you don't react to it). However, TL;DR Touhou is a Bullet Hell game, it got a massive following (especially in Japan), that had many doujin circles/indie groups making remixes of the game's OSTs. IOSYS is one of the more well known circle/group ... And you reacted to one of the meme-y songs. Like, imagine megalovania meme video, but it's a full video featuring a remix of the song, complete with (unhinged) fanmade lyrics. Touhou fandom is very wild (in a good way), man. My personal favorite circle is Akatsuki Records, though if you're watching their MVs it's preferable to watch the ones with English subtitles, because (IMO) the lyrics they made for the OSTs are great. My reccomendation (again) would be "Maiden's Salvation Theory" because it (kinda) featured Hakurei Reimu's (Touhou main Protagonist) POV. You might not fully understood the lyrics of the song without knowing the context/playing the game, but at least it isn't one of the meme remix/song 😂. Or, as some people already mentioned, "Bloody Devotion" which is centered around Izayoi Sakuya and potrayed her character pretty well (Also, one of my favorite song)
Oh boy you got recommended quite the insane one Just for context Touhou is a rather long series of bullet hell games with an open source license pretty much encouraging it's gigantic fanbase to make all kinds of content based on it, there is so much fan made content that you could think of any genre of game, music, drawing or whatever and you would definitely find touhou content for it IOSYS for example is a group of fans that makes touhou based music, but the license for it is so open you can find touhou fangames being sold on steam as far as music, Cirno's perfect math class is pretty good and not quite as batshit insane as this one another one I'd recommend is Miracle∞Hinacle (also from IOSYS I believe) and "Help me, ERINNNNNN" from [COOL&CREATE]
Little bit of explanation and a personal recommendation for the next reaction. Note, I've been a fan of Touhou for something like 8 years now, and I still don't consider myself an expert, but I do have a pretty firm handle on things by now. "Touhou Project," which I believe roughly translates to "Eastern Project," is a long running series of bullet hell games that -- as of typing this response -- is getting it's 19th game entry now (not including fan games, spinoffs, or intermediate games such as 10.5) or in the very, very near future. Most games introduce around 5-6 new characters give or take, and so the character list is quite long by this point. The characters are actually a big part of the series appeal, having such a broad spectrum of appeal, it's hard to choose just one favorite for many people. Every game save for maybe one or two is made by just one person who goes by "ZUN," or sometimes the one-person team that has the majority (of not all) of Touhou official content associated with it "Team Shanghai Alice." The games center on a magical land called "Gensokyo," a region of Japan sealed off by a barrier from the rest of the world, and this land is said to be where all forgotten things end up. It is also home to many Youkai, spiritual beings described in Japanese folklore. This in mind, the vast majority of the Touhou cast are Youkai themselves, though there are also ghosts, gods, humans, and of course other things such as angels and demons. Through all of the games, two characters are constant recurring playable characters: "Reimu Hakurei," who is a shrine maiden tasked with keeping peace within Gensokyo as well as maintaining the Hakurei Great Barrier that protects Gensokyo (as mentioned before), and her friend "Marisa Kirisame," a magician that uses various objects as a conduit for magic spells -- who is often portrayed as a thief, taking things under the pretense of just "borrowing things" until she's dead. Touhou 8, "Imperishable Night," was actually intended to be the final game in the series, and it's also the basis for my song recommendation. In the final stage, you face "Kaguya Houraisan," a princess descended from the moon, who calls for "Eirin Yagokoro," a sort of exceptionally powerful and smart sage for help against you in the battle. This battle is the basis for the song "Help Me Eirin!" or "Tasukete Eirin!!" from the arranger "Beat Mario". Very fun song, and if you choose to listen later on, I hope you enjoy!
I am not huge into Touhou and most of my experience is from the older games, I remember absolutely loving one song though from Touhou 6. Hong Meilings Theme - Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17. I definitely recommend that song. Outside of the original music I would also recommend MinusT's Touhou 3D videos on TH-cam, he pretty much creates 3D versions of Touhou battles and I think they are great.
Touhou is one of the biggest anime adjacent rabbit hole you can fall down. Be careful! XD For such a relatively small original creation its fandom has ballooned it into every creative media aspect imaginable. Most notable would be the thousands upon thousands of covers of the music from the original soundtrack, but also art imagery, cosplay, games, comics, stories, and even several independently produced anime.
Fun fact: IOSYS has released TWO official album compilations consisting of other circles' remixes/arranges of this particular arrange. In case you wanted more precious things stolen.
I can't unhear this song when I listen to the (great) soundtrack it was inspired by. The story of Marisa, the protagonist witch with a boasting personality and a tendency to be kleptomaniac who ends up stealing the heart of the tsundere doll maker, this is cute and is a quite popular ship in the fandom. "Why why why don't I miss you a lot forevaaaaaaaaaa?"
It's been a minute since I've heard THIS one. This song is basically what it feels like to drop acid and eat shrooms at the same time. EDIT: Touhou is a bullet-hell style shooter series.
This is an old meme video from nearly 15 years ago now lol For fan music I recommend Three Fairies SAY YA!!! by Shinra-Bansho, it's a cute video that involves story elements in its video
Draw the Emotional has many arrangements of touhou music you would enjoy, post-hardcore/metal. Arranged by Yuyoyuppe, the guy has produced tracks like Towa's "Anemone" and some Babymetal tracks like "Karate" and "Megitsune". There's also another circle named Foreground Eclipse with similar music you may want to check out. I'd recommend these songs but you can't go wrong with any song if you just look up their group names: Just Follow Time - Draw the Emotional Vanished Truth - Draw the Emotional I Bet You'll Forget That Even If You Noticed That - Foreground Eclipse From Under Cover - Foreground Eclipse When Innocence Is Just A Mask - Foreground Eclipse Sad Spring - Draw the EmotionalXForeground Eclipse
This was a perfect reaction Personally overdrive is my favorite from Iosys' touhou works (but im also bias as Reisen is my favorite 2hu and Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon is my favorite song)
The one song I really knew is Flandre's Theme - U.N. Owen was her? as it was a meme waaaay back before they even got called memes, at ye olde days of YTMND, and edits of that song made using Ronald McDonald flipping backwards with a bench. Edit: I just remembered the other reason I know the song, as the song goes so flippin' hard that it became a challenge for piano players to be able to play it on the piano, trying to find an arrangement that works well, and it was so popular there was a kid on Norway's got talent, who played the song on piano in the competition on TV, and no one even knew what the song was. XD
Speaking of Touhou, it's absolutely NECESSARY to react to 暁Records music videos. For example, to "Rock 'n' Rock 'n' Beat" or "Necromantic". They are SO GOOD! I'm surprised they are not recommended for you by many viewers already. They all are pretty recent actually and they are not huge memes like "Bad Apple" or this thing or "Cirno's math class". But man, if you see it, you literally HAVE to check them out at some point
6:57 - (just realizing this is the full version) Oh, I'm waiting for the reaction now.... 7:45 - HAHAHA, yea, that was my first reaction to the full version too....
I definitely recommend "reverse Trigger" (or "rebirth Trigger) by Akatsuki records. I think the singer of Akatsuki records has one of the most unique vocals in japanese music and they are definitely one of my favorites in the touhou community
This is one of the popular ones but only if you're already deep into touhou fandom. A lot of them are mix of the original OSTs turned into meme songs. I recommend checking out UN Owen was her? and Night of Nights
Well... The Touhou rabbit hole is open now. So this are my recommendations (Search with the first name)(Animated and with sub in english in their official channels or another channel) [NAME /RACE/ ABILITY] First: -All the Openings of [Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories of Phantasm~] (Mostly he first) - A full animated FAN-MADE anime of Touhou. 18 eps of 16 minuts each one. -Touhou hakureisou - A good way to get an idea of what is touhou... and memes. (By SOUND HOLIC, not in the official channel) (No subs) More of IOSYS: - Scarlet Police on Ghetto Patrol in 24 Hours - Memes. - Murasame UNITED: The Unbelievable Alice Assault - More Memes.

I listened to this song just a few weeks ago after years of not hearing it from my old mp3 player (I just realized that thing is almost 20 years old and it still works, like damn, I hope it works forever). I don't know anything about Touhou, but as a kid/teen I watched a lot of videos from other fandoms that made their own versions from stuff like this. It's probably a reason why I prefer music with elements of electronic music, drum&bass, dubstep etc. 😁
Jeez, this takes me back... people are still remixing this meme it's incredible. Themes from the actual games: UN Owen Was Her? th-cam.com/video/VIop055eJhU/w-d-xo.html Septette for the Dead Princess: th-cam.com/video/aJQ5HsXlPTo/w-d-xo.html Necrofantasia: th-cam.com/video/195XntreoMc/w-d-xo.html Flowering Night:th-cam.com/video/5wFRIWFraWQ/w-d-xo.html Kaguya's Theme: th-cam.com/video/pw2WQjqKpVM/w-d-xo.html And of course the memes: Overdrive: th-cam.com/video/t-eD1SFkX0Y/w-d-xo.html Convictor Yamaxanadu: th-cam.com/video/arP18TqPZnc/w-d-xo.html Cirno's Perfect Math Class:th-cam.com/video/uv6yK47m564/w-d-xo.html Hakurei Shrine Festival: th-cam.com/video/4MKxV4Aln48/w-d-xo.html And yes *PLAY TOUHOU.* And finally here's a darksynth remix of Bad Apple: th-cam.com/video/QgJr9MNyqOQ/w-d-xo.html
Day 19 of requesting a reaction to the following openings: Chivalry of a Failed Knight op Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress op Darling in the Franxx op Kiznaiver op You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
Wait till he hears that Touhou is about 25 years old. And you should check either Akatsuki Records, Amateras Records, Shinra Bansho or Buta-Otome, they make amazing music of Touhou. My personal recommendations is Shinra Bansho's Unconscious Requim

Marisa is the girl with a witch hat (3:39), and she is one of the 2 main characters of Touhou.
Alice is the character who was singing, and she controls dolls with magic threads. Alice also named her dolls after various places (i.e. Shanghai, Hourai, 3:23, etc.).
Marisa stole Alice’s Heart, hence “Marisa stole the precious thing.”
Marisa x Alice - a.k.a “MariAri” or “Malice” - is one of the most popular fanon ships in Touhou.
Both of them are witches, and they have very entertaining dialogue in the games.
Most old Touhou songs are more like meme music videos. My suggestion is Akatsuki Records. They are a big group that releases amazing Touhou songs, and their singer Stack is the Ado of Touhou songs with a really unique voice. Their songs are usually themed after one or two characters from the games. My favorites are "Shout It Out Loud!!!", "HELLOHELL" and "Black Mirror on the Wall" songs.
you have no idea how much i fear when you start up with this video 😹😹😹
Im so sorry, there also exist alot of "poop" Touhou stuff.
I dont know who gave you this... but they clearly trolled the shit out of you.
here some actually good stuff: th-cam.com/video/RtTYQuO1j6w/w-d-xo.html
Akatsuki Records is a good touhou band, I recommend WARNINGxWARNINGxWARNING
Touhou's music is extremely rich and wonderful thanks to Zun the only composer of nearly 600 songs. In order not to confuse you, here are the must-listen songs:
U.N. Owen Was Her?
Hartmann's Youkai Girl
Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17
Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind
Native Faith
...
There are many other great songs, but I will let you find out for yourself. Have fun!
shanghai teahouse - chinese tea
The world belongs to idols - idolatrize world
Maiden's Cappricio (Dream Battle)
Love coloured Master Spark
IOSYS - Convictor Yamaxanadu!
Thank you for the super thanks ❤️❤️❤️
@@spb.Balion Thanks for the suggestion, but based on Luke's reaction in this video, I don't think it's the best choice for him at the moment. Touhou is a masterpiece and music is part of it, so it would be better to suggest him the songs that make up Zun's trademark rather than make him think that Touhou is all about memes.
@@ntan315151 this absolutely, get him to know the basics first, then we can spread out to the more obscure and weird
I think it's worth mentioning that it's OKAY to be confused by touhou because a lot of the meme culture around Touhou was deliberately nonsensical in the same way that Monty Python might be nonsensical. You're doing fine, this content is literally just ABSURD on PURPOSE.
Touhou had a strong community of "absurd random bullshit" so basically this came from an era when it was memeable to use the melody of the game soundtrack and shove a ton of random sound clips together. IOSYS definitely leaned HARD into this when they did touhou remixes. We used to spam these songs in TF2 micspam servers
they should recommend some more normal none meme ones for starters
@@schobii5643Where's the fun in that?
@@chainsofscarlet9054 Remix version of Overdrive would be a good one for maximum "wut?"
@BlazeEmerald Japanese goblin would be a good one too. Both the original and MTB versions would be great.
@@chainsofscarlet9054 on the level of actually more serious kinds of suggestions I would probably say Sound Holic's cover of Disunified Field Theory of Magic or the Touhou Kinema Kan Openings and Endings
I'd definitely recommend 'Cirno's Perfect Math Class' (both the original and the ninth anniversary version); they're slightly more comprehensible, and slightly less like you're on an acid trip.
Marisa is the witch from the video, and she's heavily memed in the fandom as stealing... well, basically everything. She uses the justification that she's a mortal human and will eventually die, while the people's she's stealing from are immortal and so can take it back once she's dead. She also has the objective of becoming immortal herself.
"She's stealing everything, including other maiden's hearts! CONVICT!" -a certain character from another song xD
“Who Killed U.N. Owen?” by Kororo Yakoh.
I second this recommendation.
oh most certainley
I love that song.
Freddie s
Eastnewsound is also good
Some thing you may want to know.
The precious thing, is implied in the song, that marisa stole her heart...
Touhou is a game franchice, whose game developer, artist, and musician, Junya Ota A.K.A. ZUN, said, anyone can create anything as long as they follow some guidelines... Leaving the freedom of internet grow from the games...
Touhou is a danmaku, a bullet hell game, and all the game has music, not songs those are written by the comunity for the comunity. And Usually you could see which character it its is music from because they usually put it in hidden or modified...
I think you would like the next groups/circles
Undead Corporation, EastNewSound, Unlucky Morpheus, Akatsuki Records
You mean his name isn't actually Zun?
Touhou Memories of Phantasm is a completely fan-made anime with some studio quality animation. I'd say you should check the openings for that
Lol I have a Link to the show
I would also add the OP for Hifuu Katsudou Kiroku ~ The Sealed Esoteric History (another fanmade anime, also really good btw)
@@sms9678 well he deleted the Link or something
As someone who was just as confused back in the day, Marisa is the secondary main character of the games series and she is somewhat known as a bit of a mischief maker and thief (as well as witch), and this character in the video is Alice a puppeteer from the 7th game and she has a bit of an implied crush on Marisa. The precious thing she stole was her heart. It is being discussed by the character with a brown hat and Alice and it's a bit more clear in the subtitled short version, which also doesn't have the weird ear-buster at the end, which I believe they just added because people asked them for the full version and they complied in the most passive aggressive way possible, (this being the early days of the internet and all)
although, i prefer reimari over alimari
"Tiny Little Adiantum" is a classic and was a very popular meme song for a while
It is very good
Love Shibayan Records and i would pick Desert Years (Desire Drive)
Doki Doki Waku Waku
@@Dan-gs3kg Necromantic
My recommendation is "Adieu, to this Lively Graveyard" by [Akatsuki Records] and "Necromantic", by the same
BTW, if you see 東方 in the title, that is the characters for "Touhou"
Another great Tohou songs are Flowering Night and Night of the nights, check them out!
Since we're on the mid-2000's nostalgia train, a recommendation that's not directly Touhou, but involves a few iconic Touhou songs:
Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga Medley
There are a few different Nico Nico Douga medleys, Kumikyoku being the most famous. It features a medley of the greatest hits from anime, video games, and Touhou from around 2007 and was generally considered the internet's unofficial anthem for the mid- to late-2000's.
Don't worry about finding the "original" or "true" version of this, as it was originally made and published on NicoNicoDouga, Japan's competitor for early-era TH-cam. AFAIK, the true original is lost to history. There are versions with English translations, versions that show what the source songs are from, and versions that show who the original singers of the medley were - whichever aspect you want to focus on.
Welcome to Touhou fandom, this thing sucked me in so hard that I ended up doing a mini pilgrimage to Akimiya Shrine for my post Covid revenge travel. Personally I'd recommend you to listen the original songs by ZUN first before you listen to the fan take of said song. But that's up to you. Also Bloody Devotion by Akatsuki Records is a banger. Now, if you want a metal take of Alice's OST, look up Doll Judgement by Demetori.
Edit: regarding IOSYS, they also did make metal cover albums with Minami as lead guitarist. Sparking Slash, 9190, Beyond the Core, and End of Underground are my favourites.
i need to mention Cirno's perfect math class because it is the most well known Touhou fansongs. a thing I'd like to mention is that the songs that the Touhou community use the original game's songs to make insane songs that are absurd and insane. also if you do start playing Touhou start with 6 embodiment of the scarlet devil as it's a great starting point in the series
You have to keep in mind, Touhou has been around for a LONG time (more than 20 years) it's had time to cook.
There are like more than 25 games out there, all with roughly 15 unique sound tracks.
Most of those sound tracks have like 10 or more remixes in different genres, not to mention fan animations and such. To say it is "deep" is a vast understatement.
I honestly don't know how to advise you to move forward, there are WAY too many directions.
You should definitely also check IOSYS - Convictor Yamaxanadu! (a.k.a original soundtrack "Eastern Judgement in the Sixtieth Year - Fate of Sixty Years")
Touhou world is definitely worth your attention)))
Apparently the reason why it was a 4k video is because it was made in Flash. I am sure you could find it on the comments on that video explaining it. Something to do with the vectors. So if you could find the source files online for the other videos they could probably be uploaded into 4k as well. RIP Flash
McDonald's Japan recently contracted IOSYS to recreated this video as an ad for their triple patty 'samurai mac' burger for their Japanese twitter account.
"One of you motherfuckers said to check IOSYS with no guidance and now here I am, confused"
You're welcome, Luke 😂 Confusion is par for the course regarding Touhou
My recommendation is "Adieu, to this Lively Graveyard" by [Akatsuki Records] and "Necromantic", by the same
I recommend U.N. Owen Was Her for touhou bgm. It's one of the best game bgm ever!!!
If there’s a award for a series having the most dedicated and try harding fanbases, it would be given to Tohou. 🤣 Them people just aren’t human.
Yeah like what I said in your reaction to Bad Apple, Touhou's community makes content that the series creator ZUN accepts. Which also includes bands, song remixes, comics, animations, music videos, fan made animes, video games and etc.
Also it should be mentioned that there are no playable males in the series. As the characters of all the games are female. With the execption fo Rinnosuke who is a half human half Yokai which owns a store that sells stuff from our world.
As for some recommendations: Cirno's Perfect Math Class and it's 9th Anniversary version.
-The reason why there is a 9th anniversary version and not a 10th anniversary is because Cirno is associated with the number 9.
Edit: WHO RUINED THE NUMBER OF LIKES?!
And I lost the heart that I recieved.... Well at least I have the notification that proves I recieved it.
Touhou is hard to fully understand without at least looking up some basic information about the series
Other than that, starting with IOSYS Music Videos is a good way to start, they are catchy, recognizable and popular, although you won't be able to appreciate all the inside jokes they thrown in it.
"Akatsuki Records" or "Shinra Bansho" could be another great starting points, since they are bands that make less memey and reference-filled MVs
I'd suggest you:
- Necromantic by Akatsuki Records
- HELLOHELL by Akatsuki Records
- HANIPAGANDA by Akatsuki Records
- Three Fairies SAY YA!!! by Shinra Bansho
- Inconcious Requiem by Shinra Bansho
- Nethaminity Theatre "666" by Shinra Bansho
All of these can be found on their respective channels and have TH-cam subtitles you can turn on
Yesss HANIPAGANDA is goated!!!
All these are must watch songs for sure
Doki Doki Waku Waku
Second Three Fairies SAY YA!!!, love that one
Chose the craziest path to begin touhou, impressive. This is like level 40 touhou fandom.
3 things you must know about touhou
1:) pat the wanwan (Momiji)
2:) Nazrin wants your treasure… and cheese
3:) DO NOT PISS OFF FLANDRE
and it's also important to mention - DO NOT touch sunflowers!
Also, don't say that Yukari is old and don't even say the word "pad".
Wait...
IOSYS is a treasure trove of classic touhou songs. Would recommend you to check more of their songs to experience some of the Touhou rabbit hole.
Once again my recommendation to watch next is "Who killed U.N.Owen." by Kororo Yakoh.
"Oh no he's gonna be so lost"
Beyond that door, is a BEATIFUL PV about Alice (one of the characters). Theres literally thousands of Touhou PV on youtube (Absolute one-way street is anoter amazing one) and don't get me started with the massive music library. You can spend all the year listening to Touhou music in all the genres you can imagine (RD Sounds is my favourite circle). You have entered to a new dimension, I welcome you and wish you a fun and long travel-
Pd: BTW, this is some weird extended version I've never listened to, and I'm glad I didn't. The original is just half the duration of this one-
I think it was some kind of meme video. what I want to recommend is not a meme or a song but just a perfect, "Touhou 3d" series by minusT , the short description of this is what the touhou games would look like in 3d, it also has some good music, a very small part of the context from the games themselves, and of course a heeell of bullets
1 episode called [Touhou 3D] Reimu vs Remilia
Day 89 of recommending the Beyblade openings.
There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
By the way, this one is more or less a meme. There are a lot of these.
This is just a remix of The stage three boss theme of touhou 7. The name of the boss is alice margatroid.
[Touhou 3D] Reimu vs Remilia by minusT
A great introduction into Touhou fan made works for both video and music. Song selections are from other fans.
There are 6 finalised videos on this channel, best watched in order, all starting with [Touhou 3D], they are
Reimu vs Remilia
Marisa vs Flandre
Reimu vs Yuyuko
Humans vs Yukari
Subterranean Stars
Brambly Boundries
Missing "Eternal Night" Part 0 and Part 1 but you're also probably waiting for the continuation like I am (where part 2 T-T)
@@Aeosin, hoping for this year х‿х
together we will one day achieve touhou 3d on this channel !
Right I forgot to tell a couple more info
Touhou and Vocaloid are unrelated, but the communities are intertwined
The music you hear are unofficial remixes of the games' ost, as each character has at least one theme dedicated to them (this time was Alice Margatroid's theme).
Touhou has a very loose copyright infringement system, so everyone can make fan content of any kind for Touhou (music, art, games, anime, you name it).
Iosys is a Touhou centered band, just like Akatsuki Records and Shinra-Banho and a hundred others, and they all remix Touhou music on literally any genre you could imagine (there are an estimated 100k REMIXES HIDDEN THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET)
I've already posted some tracks you'd like to hear on this same video!
Im amazed you decided to react to touhou but very pleased, welcome
Yeah, what people should have also warned you is that a lot of IOSYS's Touhou songs - especially the famous ones like Precious Thing and "It Starts in the Affected Area" have a lot of Stupid Statement Dance Mix, to quote the TV Trope. The ones that don't are full of 2000s anime memes like referencing Higurashi and School Days
Anyway, this song is based on Doll Judgement, the song that plays when you fight Alice Murgatroid (blonde girl who fights with dolls) in Touhou 7. Thanks to her interactions with Marisa (blonde witch) in the following game, fandom sees her as a bit of a tsundere.
But yes, honestly? Listen to the actual game music.
Please react to【Multilanguage Cover】Touhou: Bad Apple, it is a cover of Bad Apple but its sung in multiple languages by one guy who fluently speaks all of those languages.
The channel name is Avlönskt
Fun fact: IOSYS uploaded Marisa Stole the Precious Things on 16 Nov 2006, making it (possibly) the oldest Touhou MV ever
There were many Touhou MVs on Nico Nico Douga for several years before people started porting them to TH-cam in 2006-2007.
"There seems to be a lot of correlation between Japanese and German culture?"
Hahaha *laughs in WW2*
Tohou is a series of bullet hell game made by ZUN. He composed amazing music/OST, and let the fan use it.
You can start with the OST from the game (boss theme are the most iconic).
Or searching for "Tohou PV or PVD", these are top quality fan made music vidéos.
And for me, the best Fan made anime is " The Memories of Phantasm" with good opening you can react.
Oh, Touhou Kinema Kan is a nice video, with lots of characters too.
I kind of feel like one third of the internet meme content is from Touhou and another third is from JoJo, and the rest are from somewhere else. I had heard this song long before I even knew where it originated from. If you stay on the internet long enough you are bound to come across some of this stuff sooner or later.
Edit: I have to admit that I never thought I'd be hearing this song on this channel but here we are. I can't even remember when was the last time I heard it.
Do Cirno's perfect math next
I'd prefer some more variety
Seriously, for me the best Touhou doujinshi music artist is Stack from Akatsuki Records. Everytimes it's banger: Karmanations, Necromantic (DOKI DOKI WAKU WAKU, it's stuck in my mind forever), Rock 'n' Rock 'n' Beats (Sekibanki... you're too cute to be scarry), etc.
I don't really know if Akatsuki Records allow react to his video, but you need to check these songs.
I’d say check out the sound track for the game “embodiment of the scarlet devil.” Or for more memes “Cirno’s Perfect math class.”
Btw, this song is about Alice (the short hair blond girl) that fell in love with Marisa (the long haired blond witch character appearing in the mirror thing). It's very meme song in Touhou community. So the precious thing is kinda Alice love.
OMG the nostalgia!!! I saw the title and was like "that sounds familiar" then the song started and omg, I haven't heard this in forever! My friends used to love this shit back in the day! It confused me then and it still confuses me now.
Touhou is a series of videogames created by a single japanese developer that goes by the alias ZUN, who does all the programming, illustrations and ingame music by himself. ZUN has been releasing these games ever since 1996. Gameplay wise it's one of those topview downscrolling shooting games with massive walls of bullets in certain paterns that you need to dodge, while simultaniously shooting down enemies, generally these are monsters from japanese folklore depicted as cute anime girls. Every stage has it's own musical theme, followed by a bossfight with another musical theme. The series recieved a massive cult following in japan where fans expanded on the virtually non existing lore with their own headcannon, some of which became accepted by the wider comunity as meme-culture. There are hundreds if not thousands of bands who make arrangements of the ingame music. IOSYS is one of those bands. And Marisa Stole The Precious Thing is just one of over a thousand different arrangements of the same themesong. There are multiple conventions each year in japan where these bands actually sell CD's of their musical arrangements. You'll easily find 10's of thousands of touhou arrangements on youtube alone.
Yes, my childhood ❤
Crow's claw, anyone?
Or accept the bloody fate by IOSYS
bloody devotion by akatsuki studios
Here we go into another rabbit hole...welcome, my friend~
If i had to say....i would go with U.N. Owen was her, Locked Girl, Necrofantasia or Night of Knights...
Overdrive and Help me, Erin are also very good...
LUKE!
Check out the original soudntrack before checking other covers like these ones!
Maybe even first listen to the original before, and then the recommended fan cover, in the same video!
That said...
I personally recommend Death Waltz / (UN Owen was her?) By Rush Garcia
It explored the orchestrated side of Touhou music
7:38 My favorite part. Known as "Alice.exe has stopped working" or as "Jumpscare part".
Touhou is a crazy, wierd and amazing rabbithole. If you want directed guidance, you should watch Cirno's Perfect Math Class next, and make sure to watch it subbed!
Yeah, IOSYS is responsible for most of the meme worthy content in Touhou. Don't think too hard about it, a lot of it IS random.
There is a other music groups for Touhou out there, if you are looking more normal songs, like from Yuuhei Satellite, Akatsuki Records, Undead Corperation, est. No matter which group you choose to check next, I recommend you look for their arrangement of The Gensokyo the Gods Loved. It's a VERY iconic theme from the series, no matter who does the arrangement. You can't go wrong with it.
If you are considering playing the games, be warned that the main games are mostly bullets hells. Or if you're not familiar with the term, they are top down, arcade style shooters where you dodge enemy bullets and shoot the enemies. Except Touhou bullet hells leans HEAVILY on the dodging aspect. The games are infamously hard for new players, and takes a lot of practice to clear even one of them. Good luck, if you choose to play one!
lmaooooooooooo what did yall suggest to this guy
there is so much in the touhou world and yall choosed this??!?
im dying lol
Since you've officially started down the Touhou rabbit hole, I'd like to recommend a few of the more well known music videos for you to react to.
IOSYS - Cirno's Perfect Math Class
SOUNDHOLIC - Dial Connected "Lunar Clock~Luna Dial"
SOUNDHOLIC - Infinite World
Sound Online - The Subterranean Prominence
IOSYS - Fragrance of Oriental Sunflower
"Osana Reimu" and it sequel "Touhou Reireimu" are sort of dramatized motion comics that have a lot of heart. Though probably wait till a bit more familiar with some other varied Touhou content before these.
... Why oh why out of all doujin circles, you told Luke to check out IOSYS without specifying which song and giving any context...
Luke (accidentally) got thrown right into the deep end (meme-y) of Touhou music was amusing, but if he continuously got confused... That doesn't sound fun, so here's some context. :v
th-cam.com/video/M0sqbzMWcmg/w-d-xo.html - gave a pretty good explanation, if you want to react to (or even if you don't react to it).
However, TL;DR Touhou is a Bullet Hell game, it got a massive following (especially in Japan), that had many doujin circles/indie groups making remixes of the game's OSTs. IOSYS is one of the more well known circle/group
... And you reacted to one of the meme-y songs. Like, imagine megalovania meme video, but it's a full video featuring a remix of the song, complete with (unhinged) fanmade lyrics. Touhou fandom is very wild (in a good way), man.
My personal favorite circle is Akatsuki Records, though if you're watching their MVs it's preferable to watch the ones with English subtitles, because (IMO) the lyrics they made for the OSTs are great.
My reccomendation (again) would be "Maiden's Salvation Theory" because it (kinda) featured Hakurei Reimu's (Touhou main Protagonist) POV. You might not fully understood the lyrics of the song without knowing the context/playing the game, but at least it isn't one of the meme remix/song 😂.
Or, as some people already mentioned, "Bloody Devotion" which is centered around Izayoi Sakuya and potrayed her character pretty well (Also, one of my favorite song)
Cirno's Perfect Math Class.
Jesus Christ it's like 2008 all over again
i sware if anyone says watch "cyrno's perfect math class" im gonna be on the floor laughing lmaooooooooooo
Oh boy you got recommended quite the insane one
Just for context Touhou is a rather long series of bullet hell games with an open source license pretty much encouraging it's gigantic fanbase to make all kinds of content based on it, there is so much fan made content that you could think of any genre of game, music, drawing or whatever and you would definitely find touhou content for it
IOSYS for example is a group of fans that makes touhou based music, but the license for it is so open you can find touhou fangames being sold on steam
as far as music, Cirno's perfect math class is pretty good and not quite as batshit insane as this one
another one I'd recommend is Miracle∞Hinacle (also from IOSYS I believe) and "Help me, ERINNNNNN" from [COOL&CREATE]
Little bit of explanation and a personal recommendation for the next reaction. Note, I've been a fan of Touhou for something like 8 years now, and I still don't consider myself an expert, but I do have a pretty firm handle on things by now.
"Touhou Project," which I believe roughly translates to "Eastern Project," is a long running series of bullet hell games that -- as of typing this response -- is getting it's 19th game entry now (not including fan games, spinoffs, or intermediate games such as 10.5) or in the very, very near future. Most games introduce around 5-6 new characters give or take, and so the character list is quite long by this point. The characters are actually a big part of the series appeal, having such a broad spectrum of appeal, it's hard to choose just one favorite for many people. Every game save for maybe one or two is made by just one person who goes by "ZUN," or sometimes the one-person team that has the majority (of not all) of Touhou official content associated with it "Team Shanghai Alice."
The games center on a magical land called "Gensokyo," a region of Japan sealed off by a barrier from the rest of the world, and this land is said to be where all forgotten things end up. It is also home to many Youkai, spiritual beings described in Japanese folklore. This in mind, the vast majority of the Touhou cast are Youkai themselves, though there are also ghosts, gods, humans, and of course other things such as angels and demons. Through all of the games, two characters are constant recurring playable characters: "Reimu Hakurei," who is a shrine maiden tasked with keeping peace within Gensokyo as well as maintaining the Hakurei Great Barrier that protects Gensokyo (as mentioned before), and her friend "Marisa Kirisame," a magician that uses various objects as a conduit for magic spells -- who is often portrayed as a thief, taking things under the pretense of just "borrowing things" until she's dead.
Touhou 8, "Imperishable Night," was actually intended to be the final game in the series, and it's also the basis for my song recommendation. In the final stage, you face "Kaguya Houraisan," a princess descended from the moon, who calls for "Eirin Yagokoro," a sort of exceptionally powerful and smart sage for help against you in the battle. This battle is the basis for the song "Help Me Eirin!" or "Tasukete Eirin!!" from the arranger "Beat Mario". Very fun song, and if you choose to listen later on, I hope you enjoy!
A band I really like in the touhou music is Foreground Eclipse, check them out
I am not huge into Touhou and most of my experience is from the older games, I remember absolutely loving one song though from Touhou 6. Hong Meilings Theme - Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17. I definitely recommend that song.
Outside of the original music I would also recommend MinusT's Touhou 3D videos on TH-cam, he pretty much creates 3D versions of Touhou battles and I think they are great.
Yes more Touhou memories of phantasm openings 1-4 plz👏
Touhou is one of the biggest anime adjacent rabbit hole you can fall down. Be careful! XD
For such a relatively small original creation its fandom has ballooned it into every creative media aspect imaginable. Most notable would be the thousands upon thousands of covers of the music from the original soundtrack, but also art imagery, cosplay, games, comics, stories, and even several independently produced anime.
Are you intentionally say Touhou is anime?
Fun fact: IOSYS has released TWO official album compilations consisting of other circles' remixes/arranges of this particular arrange. In case you wanted more precious things stolen.
I can't unhear this song when I listen to the (great) soundtrack it was inspired by. The story of Marisa, the protagonist witch with a boasting personality and a tendency to be kleptomaniac who ends up stealing the heart of the tsundere doll maker, this is cute and is a quite popular ship in the fandom.
"Why why why don't I miss you a lot forevaaaaaaaaaa?"
1:58 so in the 40’s….
It's been a minute since I've heard THIS one. This song is basically what it feels like to drop acid and eat shrooms at the same time.
EDIT: Touhou is a bullet-hell style shooter series.
This is an old meme video from nearly 15 years ago now lol
For fan music I recommend Three Fairies SAY YA!!! by Shinra-Bansho, it's a cute video that involves story elements in its video
Draw the Emotional has many arrangements of touhou music you would enjoy, post-hardcore/metal. Arranged by Yuyoyuppe, the guy has produced tracks like Towa's "Anemone" and some Babymetal tracks like "Karate" and "Megitsune". There's also another circle named Foreground Eclipse with similar music you may want to check out. I'd recommend these songs but you can't go wrong with any song if you just look up their group names:
Just Follow Time - Draw the Emotional
Vanished Truth - Draw the Emotional
I Bet You'll Forget That Even If You Noticed That - Foreground Eclipse
From Under Cover - Foreground Eclipse
When Innocence Is Just A Mask - Foreground Eclipse
Sad Spring - Draw the EmotionalXForeground Eclipse
I would recommend checking touhou Japanese goblin ether the original or fubuki version, both are awesome 👍👍
This was a perfect reaction
Personally overdrive is my favorite from Iosys' touhou works (but im also bias as Reisen is my favorite 2hu and Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon is my favorite song)
I even like that infamous glitch part in this one. I love IOSYS.
Hoping for metal tohou songs like Bloody Devotion by Akatsuki Records!
Some Touhou songs I recommend is
MISATO - Necro Fantasia
Cirno's Perfect Math Class,
U.N. Owen Was Her?,
Unconscious Requiem,
The one song I really knew is Flandre's Theme - U.N. Owen was her? as it was a meme waaaay back before they even got called memes, at ye olde days of YTMND, and edits of that song made using Ronald McDonald flipping backwards with a bench.
Edit:
I just remembered the other reason I know the song, as the song goes so flippin' hard that it became a challenge for piano players to be able to play it on the piano, trying to find an arrangement that works well, and it was so popular there was a kid on Norway's got talent, who played the song on piano in the competition on TV, and no one even knew what the song was. XD
Speaking of Touhou, it's absolutely NECESSARY to react to 暁Records music videos. For example, to "Rock 'n' Rock 'n' Beat" or "Necromantic". They are SO GOOD! I'm surprised they are not recommended for you by many viewers already. They all are pretty recent actually and they are not huge memes like "Bad Apple" or this thing or "Cirno's math class". But man, if you see it, you literally HAVE to check them out at some point
6:57 - (just realizing this is the full version) Oh, I'm waiting for the reaction now....
7:45 - HAHAHA, yea, that was my first reaction to the full version too....
I definitely recommend "reverse Trigger" (or "rebirth Trigger) by Akatsuki records. I think the singer of Akatsuki records has one of the most unique vocals in japanese music and they are definitely one of my favorites in the touhou community
I saw MStPT and I was like "oh no he's not ready for this"
Night of Nights. Specifically, the Rampaging Sakuya animation. And also Sake Monster RaiRai by Shinra Bansho.
This is one of the popular ones but only if you're already deep into touhou fandom. A lot of them are mix of the original OSTs turned into meme songs. I recommend checking out UN Owen was her? and Night of Nights
I would say he should watch the MV for grip & break down. That MV is badass!

I would put more, but I don't remember more right now.
I listened to this song just a few weeks ago after years of not hearing it from my old mp3 player (I just realized that thing is almost 20 years old and it still works, like damn, I hope it works forever). I don't know anything about Touhou, but as a kid/teen I watched a lot of videos from other fandoms that made their own versions from stuff like this. It's probably a reason why I prefer music with elements of electronic music, drum&bass, dubstep etc. 😁
Also, when you said "there was a drop coming", I laughed. I knew you weren't ready for the "drop" 😂
Ah, this brings back some memories from the 2000s
yes... YES HES FALLING
Jeez, this takes me back... people are still remixing this meme it's incredible.

2:46 me when I hear my parents fighting in the bedroom:
Day 19 of requesting a reaction to the following openings:
Chivalry of a Failed Knight op
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress op
Darling in the Franxx op
Kiznaiver op
You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
Amazing space shuffle by halozy it’s a combo of multiple songs
Here is a compilation of all the Touhou anime openings.
Touhou: Senya (The Memories of Phantasm PV) Op 1-5
- th-cam.com/video/w2IVeW796Tc/w-d-xo.html
"What's going on?"
She's counting from 1 to 3. And occasionally to 4.
Wait till he hears that Touhou is about 25 years old.
And you should check either Akatsuki Records, Amateras Records, Shinra Bansho or Buta-Otome, they make amazing music of Touhou.
My personal recommendations is Shinra Bansho's Unconscious Requim
I imagine the levels of confusion he would have with "Cirno's Perfect Math Class" and "EienTewi"
