Tldw: - Minor pentatonic for melody - Add Romantic Trumpet - Add more Trumpet for the trumpet - Chords VI VII I - Change key signature for every beer you drink
Considering Touhou music is some of the best in the business, I think you being a natural at making it is more of a feature than a bug. Embrace your destiny!
Become Touhou fan. Here are some songs I’d recommend The Gensokyo the Gods Loved Electric Heritage (and) Entrusting This World to Idols ~ Idolatrize World Kobito of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess Reverse Ideology Reincarnation (both PoDD and DiPP versions) Kid’s Festival ~ Innocent Treasures (not technically a part of a Touhou game but it is a song ZUN made for a Touhou album and it’s ZUN’s personal theme so it’s pretty important) ((also the only song ZUN wrote that has written lyrics, but they didn’t make it into the final song. The lyrics are available online and you can sing them along with the main chorus)) Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion Candid Friend (both MoF and ULiL versions) Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator Fate of Sixty Years Primordial Beat ~ Pristine Beat (must listen) The entirety of the OST for Touhou 16 Eternal Shrine Maiden (original, DiPP, and Akyu’s Untouched Score versions) Strange Oriental Discourse (original, DiPP, and Akyu’s Untouched Score versions) And the most important theme representing the Touhou franchise; Theme of Eastern Story If you want to know about the popular viral Touhou songs, the ones to search for are; U.N. Owen Was Her? Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial Flowering Night (the famous remix is called Night of Nights, some people think Night of Nights is the original when it’s a remix) Bad Apple!! (the nomico remix overshadows the original song, the original song is more interesting musically but the nomico MMD music video is genuinely amazing) Necrofantasia (personal favorite song because personal favorite character) Hartmann’s Youkai Girl
That comment you liked (the one about improvising touhou music) is actually a quote from Toby himself (look up "toby fox touhou improv") Also most of Toby's music in Homestuck was a lot more touhou sounding since he was still developing his sound, so I highly recommend checking out his older music too! Toby did more than just undertale and deltarune guys, and the old stuff is fire as well
It's awesome to see you create music like that in such a short time and have it seal your fate like that hahaha! Please continue to make whatever you want to make, regardless of whatever it gets called lmao. We're all here for it. Here's your hug
Welcome to Touhou music! Where every music you listen to from now on will feel like Touhou when there's trumpets in it I'm liking the structure of the song you're making, hopefully I can hear the full piece!
Hi! I'm touhou style composer here :) I'm very impressed with the time you spent researching Touhou music, it's going to be quite an arduous process :) Good luck, I look forward to what you will do gl!
*hug* PLEASE tutorial. I love this style of music, but I honestly don't know where to start. It would be nice if you could cover: 1. Melodies 2. Instrument choice 3. Chord progressions/harmony 4. Other things that make it "touhou" sound also, found your spotify! 🔥🔥🍟🔥
@@montageofchips 1: For the melodies just go Minor Pentatonic while adding lot of 16th notes when making transition to other notes in the offbeat. 2: Romantic trumpet is his favorite instrument to add for his melody. Piano high pitch for elegancy/purity and texture. 3: 99% of the time just go VI VII I or VI V VII I or VI VII I VII in the minor scale. 4: Other thing i can say is changing keysignature between bridge - drop or midway during drop which is something he does a lot
One of my favourite parts of the soundtrack is that songs will sometimes be rearranged in later games depending on the character's mindset. Like the mysterious Lunatic Eyes becoming more energetic in 14.5 as Reisen becomes more used to life on Earth. Or Last Occultism going from music fit for the stakea of 14.5 to dubstep in 15.5 to fit Sumireko's gen Z status.
just speed it up, adding a rhythmic or arpeggiating (or both) instrument and background string chords and make the bass and drums literally physically impossible to play and you have a touhou song, and also there will always be a piano and it probably will be shredding extremely complicated lines at a extremely rapid pace and still just be in the background and also it is entirely okay to just repeat the same two or even singular melody the entire theme as long as you make it really heckin good (eternal spring dream, kingdom of nothingness)
Listen to "Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess" the trumpets there (especially "that one part") are crazy I have another recommendation for you: "Into Backdoor" (Touhou 16 Final Stage Theme) "The Deviant's Unobstructed Light ~ Kingdom of Nothingness" (Zanmu Nippaku's theme, and my personal favorite cuz of the vocals) "The Path to Yomi where None Turn Back" (Hisami Yomotsu's theme, to me, it's giving Frank Sinatra Love song style-)
As a person who makes touhou remixes , dO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I recommend looking at newer gen touhou music like "Desire drive" ( my personal favorite of all 50+ hours of touhou songs ) or ""A Small Desire's Starry Sky" if you want something groovy, "Pure Furies ~ whereabouts of the heart" for something intense, "Immemorial Marketeers", "Tiny Shangri-la". Touhou music focuses on extremely memorable melodies that sounds like it has its own hidden lyrics ( sakura sakura ~ japanize dream ). ZUN uses old synthesizers like Roland, Edirol, stuff like sd-90,Trilian. Song have a lot of emotion, a lot of drum spams, sometimes weird pacing ( Hartmann's Yokai Girl ). ZUN also tends to put different kind of feels and styles in each song in the modern gen like big difference between "The Abandoned Industrial Remains" and "The Princess Who Slays Dragon Kings" which are from the same game btw. Overall youre doing really great so far I cant wait to see what you cook up!!
I said it when your sound looked like you house when you did the Pokemon battle theme 😂 Your fate was already locked. Now you can't unhear touhou music.
You know… I always liked your music style. And I am big touhou music fan. But until it was pointed out to me I didn’t even make the connection that your style is very Touhou-esque. Not that it is a criticism but it is a funny coincidence.
Okay August 15th is also my kids birthday xD was yours IN 1997? that's fucking crazy if so Also remixing touhou music was so popular for a while there that people would listen to it without knowing the game. Flowering Nights became Night of Nights, which then got remixed with U.N. Owen Was Her into another new song, it's a whole tree of remixes, it's remixes all the way down
I have no idea if you'd ever be down but I just thought of a fun future collab idea. You could make a song based on one of my artworks and I make an artwork based on one of your songs and we make videos from each of our perspectives. Idk I'm just throwing the idea out there 😵💫no pressure tho 😪
He's destined to be a touhou music guy. I'm destined to go to sleep but I'm not gonna because I'm watching Avatar.
Real
Tldw:
- Minor pentatonic for melody
- Add Romantic Trumpet
- Add more Trumpet for the trumpet

It's literally fate
bro was literally born to make touhou music
This video seems like how it was when most touhou fans discovered touhou for the first time. You looked like you were instantly hooked
you thought it was a coincidence
the process works in strange ways
join us
Man, this sounds like Touhou ngl (I have no idea what Touhou is)
The "August 15th is my birthday" realization LOL. If you start playing touhou i bet youll instantly become the best at this point
Another man has fallen to the 2hu lands.
Welcome, brother.
*SENDS VIRTUAL HUG*, 'You can do it, this is your destiny'
this is like the moment in ashow when the hero realize throughout his life his parents have been raisng him to figjt the villain and its his destiny
I think I'm not seeing someone getting into Touhou. Rather someone who just realized his entire existence IS Touhou that he have a midlife crisis
Ur right I never played touhou. But I have a playlist of all the 600+ tracks from the games that I plan to listen to eventually (I will go insane)
One of my favourite parts of the soundtrack is that songs will sometimes be rearranged in later games depending on the character's mindset. Like the mysterious Lunatic Eyes becoming more energetic in 14.5 as Reisen becomes more used to life on Earth.

this was entertaining to watch, thank you!
MINGREEEE UPLOAAAAAADDD !!!
Listen to "Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess" the trumpets there (especially "that one part") are crazy
I have another recommendation for you:
"Into Backdoor" (Touhou 16 Final Stage Theme)
"The Deviant's Unobstructed Light ~ Kingdom of Nothingness" (Zanmu Nippaku's theme, and my personal favorite cuz of the vocals)
"The Path to Yomi where None Turn Back" (Hisami Yomotsu's theme, to me, it's giving Frank Sinatra Love song style-)
Bro is the reincarnation of zun
The prophecy is fullfilled. The inheritor of ZUN's will rises once more
bro realized he was the touhou all along
