Touhou - Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart [Remix by NyxTheShield] [Junko's Theme]

After many months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears it's finally here! Many of you wanted my Touhou covers to be available in an album format, so it truly means a lot to me to finally release this huge dream project for you all!

"Youkai - Touhou Metal" consists of all my Touhou Project covers I've done so far - I have refreshed every song on the album to match my current abilities and also fully remastered Pandemonic Planet, Septette for the Dead Princess and Youmu's Theme. I hope you guys enjoy my covers of your favorite Touhou tracks. Love y'all!

I'd also like to thank good guy RichaadEB (www.youtube.com/richaadeb) for nailing an absolute killer solo on Necrofantasia and helping me out with further work on the track. Also a big thank you to Wool (twitter.com/moiwool) for drawing the beautiful album artwork. I've also been a huge fan of his work long before I started making covers, so this truly warms my heart! Go check out both of these guys' work. This album wouldn't have been the same without them!

But most importantly thanks to all of you viewers for encouraging me to make this album a reality! The Touhou journey is not over yet! I will continue to make more Touhou covers (Album part 2?) and also many other franchises to reach all of your musical taste buds! I hope you enjoy listening to "Youkai - Touhou Metal". Thank you! ^^

Kobito of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess

The last few years have been hard on all of us, and the challenging times have definitely shaped the emotion and passion put into this album. After your incredibly generous response to my previous Touhou album "Youkai - Touhou Metal", I bring you this sequel packed with more classic Touhou songs and with all the new skills that I've learned over the years. I'm so excited to finally release this massive labor of love to you!

"Lunatic - Touhou Metal" consists of all Touhou covers I've recorded and produced in the last 2 years, not only including big fan favorites like Bad Apple!!, We Are Japanese Goblin or Flowering Night but also more songs that the hardened Touhou fans might love! I hope you guys enjoy!

I would like to thank RichaadEB (youtube.com/richaadeb) for joining me again to perform his absolutely amazing guest guitar solo on Bad Apple!!, Wool (twitter.com/moiwool) for drawing the beautiful and eye-catching album artwork and also MTB (youtube.com/MTB396) for animating the intro for the Bad Apple!! music video. It was an immense pleasure working with the guys and make this huge project a reality. Thank you so much!

This album marks the first time I have ever sung on a track, which has been challenging, but a very fun and eye-opening experience. You guys seemed to have enjoyed my cover of We Are Japanese Goblin, so I've pushed my limits further by performing Bad Apple!! as well.

I want to thank all of you for your immense support, for sharing my videos with your friends and encouraging me to keep doing my best even during the hardest of times. I'm very proud to present to you this album that is very special to me. Please enjoy "Lunatic - Touhou Metal".
Thank you very much! :)

Love-Colored Master Spark

Another crushing entry in the Primal Black series. This one brings the heat with driving drums that don't let up, pushing forward with relentless energy. Just when you think it might overwhelm you, it pulls back for a brief moment to let you catch your breath before diving back into the fire. Built around themes of ultimate power and control.

CtC Reimu's Last Spell Theme G Free ~ Ultimate Dream

Bad Apple, or "BAD Apple!!" as ZUN likes to spell it
From Touhou 4 Lotus Land Story
Composed by ZUN
Remastered/Arranged by me

Yesterday, i felt like arranging Bad Apple, so i did.
It was quite random, i was just listening to an old arrange i made of Bad Apple in 2017 for something secret (you will find out eventually when said something is actually released...it's not up to me sadly).
But yes, while i was listening to my 2017 arrange of Bad Apple, i listened to Illusionary Sputnik Night from ZUN's music CD; Griomoire of Marisa, and i thought "hmmm...wouldn't it be cool if other old ZUN songs had those cool extended parts too?".
So, well, i figured it wouldn't be very hard to do, so i started working on it, it took around 11 hours.
For this arrange, i wanted to prioritize "remaster" for the first half, and "arrange" for the second half.
I really like the original song, but i have to admit that i am not very fond of the melody at 1:08, and thus, i also found it a little difficult to improve on.
Honestly, that part of the song is quite basic and even boring in my honest opinion, certainly not amongst my favourite melodies ZUN composed.
A lot of people would probably say "but Sylvy, it's the PC-98 era, he was still bad then", and to that i say...really? Some of my favourite ZUN songs are PC-98 songs, a lot of them have great composition.
Of course, i really love the rest of the original aside from that part, just a great Touhou song all around.
I tried making the song a bit longer by adding some new parts, messing with key changes, and adding a piano solo.
There's also some easter eggs hidden in the background melodies, pay close attention, and you might recognize them.
Also, i tried making this song more Marisa-ish than Reimu-ish.
There's 2 paths in Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story, it depends on which character you pick, the stage 1 theme will be different depending on which character you pick.
I always thought it would be kind of interesting to imagine what the music of Touhou 4 would sound like if each stage had like a "Reimu variation" and a "Marisa variation" of the music, this would definetely be the "Marisa variation" of Bad Apple.
I think if i ever made a "Reimu variation", it would sound a bit more eastern (the irony of that statement does not fly over my head), maybe with those cool saw instruments from her theme in Touhou 8...
This song was very easy and chill to work on, so i had fun, especially since i am working very hard on more difficult songs behind the scenes (i'm composing for 2 albums and 2 game OST's, consider joining/donating to my Patreon if you want to hear some of the songs early)

Also i drew Elly for the thumbnail, she's the stage 3 boss of Touhou 4 (this is not obvious for a surprising amount of people because of the popularity of the Astromo-something-i-forgot Records arrange of Bad Apple)
