>>159 I can't really pick out a single favorite 2hu OST Some of the PC-98 themes are really nice and underrated, like Alice's theme The Grimoire of Alice, Yumeko's theme Doll's Story ~ Doll of Misery, and Yumemi's theme Strawberry Crisis. If we're talking Windows Touhou though then I have to stay that my favorite theme is probably Satori's theme.

Flowering Night (specifically from SWR) It's so much better than Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial It fits her better, Luna Dial is too chaotic (but it still sounds good)

i like this one, simply just because it sounds nice, especially around 1:37

>>176 reimu's theme is a classic

I have too much nostalgia for this one It was my introduction to Touhou

Native Faith I love Moriya >>185 I love this flash!

>>159 I actually found out about 2hu a decade ago from doujin music, specifically https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Demetori . My favorites are: 童祭 ～ Innocent Treasures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nahnRPU3OwM メイドと血の懐中时计 (The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood) 亡き王女の為のセプテット (Septette for a Dead Princess) ～ Ascending Into Naught I also love 2hu jazz! Have a comfy TENDER HEARTS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKJrxY-VrgA

>>216 I found out about it through COOL&CREATE Remi's theme is a win >I also love 2hu jazz! I listened to the one you posted not too long ago, I love it

>>166 Luna dial is better...

The Venerable Ancient Battlefield >>160 Really solid taste. I love Satori's theme and PC-98 does get overlooked. The simple sound font used gives it a very different sound, even if a lot of the themes can be quite similar to Windows era.

My favourite two Touhou OST comes from Marisa Kirisame one is Dance of Witches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaaqiCtR3qA&list=PLvNDhqjDZ0C_FrUfpcY8hf-c-Dr-6iqEx&index=9 And the other is Marisa's most popular theme, Love-coloured master spark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RBJ4NMOBV0&list=PLvNDhqjDZ0C_FrUfpcY8hf-c-Dr-6iqEx&index=11 personally speaking Dance of Witches is by far the best OST Zun has ever created

>>159 Necrofantasia though the one from magical astronomy not the one from perfect cherry blossom.

>>159 Why is touhou so popular? Whats good about the series? I know it has a large and dedicated fanbase that makes fangames, doujins and even fanmade anime But the game just looks like a space invaders clone whats the big deal?

>>374 >But the game just looks like a space invaders clone But does space invaders have cute girls? Plus, I feel like the music mainly made Touhou as popular as it is.

>>374 any top-down shooter is a space invaders clone, technically... you have to remember that Touhou's been around for a couple of decades by now, and was made by only one person for the most part; the games are kind of like the progenitor to what we'd describe as the indie scene now. combine its age with fun (and/or challenging) gameplay, high replayability, a cool world filled with likeable characters, yet not super heavy on story so there's lots left to the imagination, and good music, and it's not very difficulty to see why it got popular initially. its enduring doujin scene and dedicated fanbase continues to keep the series and its fanbase not only relevant into the current day, but also still growing.

Minus the screaming bits I have been quite enjoying this English Nuclear Fusion remix as of late. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMJ2xR5KQYM

>>159 I just tried this game for the first time God almighty this is HARD
