I am pretty certain that you abandoned it before then

If you review the data, you'll see a lead up to the inevitable 'wrong pronoun' incident. It was unavoidable.

Superfluous heart activate! 💖 -shwing-

i, too, have suffered from bre's wrong pronoun wrath... i think. memory is fuzzy, might've been someone else but i'm 80% sure

Aubrey (they/them) speaks like this and Shield (they/them) speaks like this... haha just kidding. Ah, memories.

Our profile picture is of Shield, because that's who mostly uses this account...

Hey Lumi, do you have any really fast paced Touhou songs? I have a friend who asked for some and linked this one:


What are we talking here, songs like Usatei? Or just songs that I like that are technically Touhou songs? Because I have lots of the latter and not as many of the former, but for sure, there's the Usatei remix lol. 

I can link a bunch more videos and I will, but I think I'd recommend your friend look into Alstroemeria Records and EastNewSound, especially their older stuff as I've been less of a fan in the last 7 or so years, but who knows.

So, the actual videos like Usatei, there's all the classic "Cirno's Perfect Math Class" and "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing" and all, but for ones more like Usatei musically - Taboo Tears You Up is a super classic from way back in 2007, as is Power of Dream. Then there's ""newer"" stuff like True Administrator by EastNewSound, also an example of my favorite era of Touhou music (~2011) where the artist doesn't necessarily sound like that anymore. EastNewSound and Alstroemeria Records still make music, and it's still fine, but neither tends to feel like they used to to me - so find the old stuff. Preferably past the 2007 era of low quality, lol. 


Honestly I could talk about Touhou music I like all day, so it'll be easier to just give some example albums. Alstroemeria Records' old albums are the most concise, consistent and easy place to start, so I'll link some of those. Note that even their music changes over the years these have come out, so it's a real grab bag, but a few off the top of my head I like (with Youtube links):
Plastik World -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRsyiOb_jDY&list=PLD1B11EC540C6E516&index=2 (playlist)

Killed Dancehall - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM7BWnWjEpA ("Endless" 27:00-31:30 has a cuss word in it pretty extensively)

-- Uh, tragically, For Your Pieces (the album, not the song) doesn't exist on Youtube but contains nearly the most songs of any album I've ever listened to that I decided to keep in my personal music collection... before I found out they were on an album together. For this album and basically all of them that you're not lucky enough to find, you'll need a site like https://doujinstyle.com/ to download them from. Very little Touhou music (especially prior to recent years where some artists use Bandcamp) is actually available for direct purchase anymore as the albums were mostly sold at events held in Japan, so you shouldn't feel bad downloading things here. Anyways, a link to download For Your Pieces: https://mega.nz/file/OMoRyLqC#B_rYCwFrxCJJHLvJ6UMC4669aS0IdAIbiB0n9pY6WVk (Did I mention I love this album?)

Rebirth Dancehall - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY6-kh_1Cbw Slightly newer, various good songs but "LIMBO" by Nhato is one of my overall favorite songs from one of my favorite artists. I wish I could say look into Nhato, but unfortunately he nearly exclusively contributes songs one or two at a time to albums of existing circles like Alstroemeria Records so you really just have to stumble across them.

 

 

And because I should probably stop at some point, I'll wish-I-could-link my second favorite album of all time, Dancefloor Combat, again by Alstroemeria Records. Except once again it's not on Youtube in its entirety, which is a shame since the songs really vary from the beginning half to the rest. All I can sample is this song near the start, Graphical Scenery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChWtNUQjB3o, but, obviously, I highly recommend the whole album, again from Doujinstyle - wait, strike that, apparently this album doesn't exist in either of the two places I know that collect thousands of Japanese/Touhou albums... Tragic! And unlikely..

 

Fine, I'll just link my #1 favorite album, except I'm not sure it's what you had in mind - Toho Cocktail by Mohican Sandbag. And while I love the guy and his other music, for some reason nothing else he's made is like this album at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUIJ_lqKFDk

 

As a final note, my friends tend not to be as impressed with my literal favorite music after over a decade of following Touhou's music scene extensively, so I'm inclined to believe for albums like Toho Cocktail (but to some extent every song, even Usatei and Taboo Tears You Up), being very familiar with the original Touhou themes they're arranges of may actually affect how enjoyable they are to listen to. Likely what you guys hear as just normal music I hear far more in, but that probably means you can learn to love Touhou music more than you might initially lol. 

 

 

Also uh, good luck sending this to your friend if you can't link them to the actual post. At least some of what I said was important..

Thank you Lumi!

I sent them the whole link, I didn't want to paraphrase it. Beautiful post btw.
