THANK YOU FOR THIS. I am a university student and I was having the most trouble finishing this mindfuck of a linguistics/philosophy paper. These 40 minutes of song allowed me to be very productive!!!!!
+Primus That's a shame, hopefully things are turning out better for you now. Dropping in to say that I've been coding to this. I'm getting a similar effect, but coding is less subjective so I'm not as concerned about mistakes popping up later (though it's far from impossible).
@@T_K7 It actually did. Wow that was so long ago. I ended up going to the professors office hours to discuss the paper, and it changed how I approached philosophy. Ended up getting the best grade in the class and obtained a minor in Analytic Philosophy. Although it was only a minor, classmates who majored and even pursued further education in Philosophy still enjoy the insight I can offer when discussing a question or a problem. My current philosophical goal is to read through Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Given how time consuming my real responsibilities are, I expect the reading to take a year if not a year and a half. From there, I'm looking forward to exploring continental philosophy because I was not exposed to much of it during the course of a short minor.

@@Ana-gb5bg Yep, that account is inactive. Mainly because Tumblr feels like a ghost town now, and there was increasingly less activity on anything I posted there. I think most of my followers probably don't even log on anymore.
I know you've been hearing this a lot, but I just want to say thank you for creating this playlist, it's something I've come back to quite a lot to relax to, it's something that is well put together and calming. Thank you.
Aww, thank you! I remember being picky about this playlist... I had some rules like, "no more than two tracks by the same artist" "use a mix of genres," "no repeats of the same original theme," etc. I expected to get maybe 3-4 comments on it and that was it. Definitely didn't expect to still be getting comments over 10 years later. 😂 Credit should ultimately go to the music artists, of course. I'd love to own all their CDs someday! I actually just finished collecting all of FloatingCloud's Touhou albums recently.
@@dranxis Wow. Lately I've seen more and more people that have been in the fandom for over a decade come back occasionally, and that's just... wonderful. Glad to see you're still around. Thank you for this playlist. It's, as the other commenter said, really comforting. :)
2021 Update: UA-cam has changed their terms of service and they now have the right to put ads on all videos. Apologies in advance if they start putting ads in the middle of this! Unfortunately, I can't control it and don't benefit from the ads personally.
what about skipping to the end and then replaying? i have youtube premium so this doesn't bother me. I've been back to this video since 2014 when I was in middle school lol. shits crazy and life is short
@@WilliamTravisIto I've noticed that ads are starting to play at the beginning of my videos sometimes. I'm not sure if an ad will show up if someone skipped to the end and then hit Replay, though. Wow, since middle school? I'm glad my video has had that much staying power for you!
(Notice from the uploader) Hey guys, lately I've been getting a new subscriber every day. I felt I should warn people: I probably won't update this channel anymore! Unfortunately I don't feel like I have the free time to make more videos. But if you like my taste in Touhou music and use Tumblr, I share Touhou remixes over there: touhou-music-twice-a-week.tumblr.com/ That said, thank you to everyone who liked and commented on my uploads here in the past! I did have a lot of fun putting them together.
Thanks for posting your sources. As much as I love this music, I don't always have internet access so I need a copy on my hard drive. I also like supporting the original artists. Now I know where to go for both of those things! :)
Hi kotori87: if you need help shopping for CDs on Japanese websites, I wrote a guide about that here: touhou-music-twice-a-week.tumblr.com/purchasing/ I buy a lot of CDs to support the artists too :) However, if something you want is out-of-print, I would recommend just downloading it. You can look and see if the CD is archived in this lossless torrent: www.tlmc.eu/ Or for lossy, try: dojin.co/
I found this video way back in 2013 and I just want to say thank you for making it. It’s become one of my comfort playlists and it has helped me calm down and sleep on bad nights over the years. Because of this video I found so many new touhou tracks and albums to love. I hope you are doing well!
That's so sweet of you to let me know, thank you! I remember being very particular about what songs I wanted to use in this playlist and what order they played in. I'm glad it turned out to be something other people can listen to over and over without getting tired of it. And I'm doing well, thanks for asking!
If anyone still wants the song "mellow distance" for their music collection, you can download it for free from Forest306's SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/da_f306/mellow
I have been using this playlist to relax whenever I'm having a hard time. It started back in high school, whenever my discord friend group would have a falling out so I could come back calm and collected. That was almost 7 years ago now, and now I'm an adult with a job and it's just as helpful today as it was back then. Thank you for this, you've helped me through so much.
Oh wow, thanks for letting me know! Nowadays there is so much Touhou music (or relaxing music in general) uploaded to UA-cam that it blows my mind when I hear people still come back to this one playlist I made over 10 years ago. I'm glad I could help you in some small way, stranger.
Thank you for uploading all of this, I may have missed the glory days of touhou but I love every single of it. To the games to the music and even fan content. I'm currently enjoying listening this while I'm studying.
You're welcome! It's nice to see people still getting into Touhou. I played my first Touhou game in late 2008, and the series has brought me a lot of joy over the years.
This is very beautiful and relaxing. They all sound really nice and it really helps me when either doing things or when I just want to chillout and relax :3
So thankful for you uploading these amazing songs without putting any ads on the video. It’s so terrible when I listen to relaxing music trying to go to sleep and keep getting woken up by ads. Thank you!
You're very welcome! When I uploaded this video in 2012, I opted not to put ads on it. I don't own the rights to the music, so it seemed wrong to try to monetize it. Unfortunately, I recently received an email from UA-cam that their terms of service have changed, and they now have the right to put ads on every video on the website. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they won't put ads in the middle of my videos. Because you're right, that would be truly obnoxious to have the music interrupted!
Wow I used to listen to this back in the early 2010s during college, alongside some old Japanese Smooth Jazz video that was over 2 hours long (that’s now long since been DMCA’d 😢). And now I stumble upon it again, over ten years later.
For years I didn't understand why people were so bothered by them. Then recently I listened to 'historie' again, with headphones on this time and... the knocks! They're kinda unnerving. Like a ghost knocking on your doll while calming spa music plays.
Anyone know where I can get the first track as its own song? Without cutting and editing this audio. Or to make it simple, anyone know the original video for track 1?
That track actually doesn't have an official title. It's a secret track at the end of the album 'historie' and isn't mentioned or named anywhere on the album packaging.
@@dranxis damn still replying after so many years. I always feel a tinge of sadness seeing these videos wondering where these artists are now. Good to see you are still here though
@@Spine223 Haha, yep--I get an email notification if someone comments, so I reply every once in a while. I know what you mean about feeling a tinge of sadness. Lots of my favorite Touhou music/fanart creators have moved on to other things or seemingly vanished. I just hope they're out there living their best life!
Touhou is a shoot em up game, these are just arrangement of the characters theme songs. You should check out the game and ost yourself, you won't be disappointed!

Same here! I was finishing three separate papers for my professors to get my English BA and this compilation really helped me focus.
