__________________________________________________
You can feel the warmth building in your chest. That familiar, comforting feeling had returned, as you rushed round and through and past not just your friend, but your final and first duelling partner. As her red and white paper amulets sliced your arms and face, you can't help but smile like an idiot. The stinging pain is nulled by the thrill and excitement burning in your chest, and seeing her smile from across the airspace at you as she continued to pummel you with yin-yang orbs and pierce you with persuasion needles was enough to make you grin till your cheeks hurt.
Why? Of course, it seems completely foolish and simple to be smiling in such circumstances. But as you crossed your arms and aimed two small hakkeros at her, you knew; this wasn't a dream. This was so much more now. Reimu had never ended her dream and destroyed everything. As the intense magical energy pours from those two tiny weapons, you realise that, instead of ending, the dream had just split itself from the dreamer and taken physical form. Gensokyo was now sat square in the middle of Japan, still surrounded by that mystical Hakurei border; but it was real!
You quickly shove the hakkeros into two separate pockets, and focus your eyes on the cloud of smoke -- and there's Reimu; a bit scorched, but not a scratch on her. She keeps a calm face and walks on the air, as gracefully and fluidly as if she was actually still standing on terra firma. It's a fancy little trick she'd perfected, only for the purposes of showing off. However, watching her makes you smirk just a little, as you remember all the times you secretly watched her practise, and how much of a fool she'd looked. Now she did it like it was a talent that had been given to her. The way she walked so elegantly eerily reminded you of Sakuya.
"Hah, not bad, Marisa. Of course, I let you win." She smiles mockingly and you flush a little. "Like hell ya did, ya sore loser! I won fair and square, and you know it!". She shrugs a little, "Yeah, you did, I know. I still need to get a little used to this. I mean, it's a lot more difficult to win when you're not in control of everything around you, right?" She laughs a little, but then becomes more serious. "I'm sorry, you know. I'm sorry about everything. You were right, obviously, and now look what I've done. Everyone's disappeared, and there's not much any of us can do to bring them back...". You stop her by placing a hand lightly on her shoulder, but it still stings where the amulets have shredded your palm where you tried to cover your eyes. "Hey, don't worry about it. We're still here, right? It's all fine. Now, go and get a drink with Suika. I'm gonna head off and find Aya." And with that, you winked, gave a little salute, and headed off, as Reimu continued to stare off after you. "Marisa," she says quietly, "thank you."
I love how this theme feels a bit less serious than the two G Free remixes. It's still intense, because, you know, this is goddamn Reimu, but it isn't as dramatic or final as her other boss themes. Which is fantastic, as that's all this is really, a fight to celebrate Marisa and Reimu finally meeting once more after so long in the dark about the future of their home.
냥코공략대전쟁 Agrees with your statement.
One day, we all know ZUN will pass on. When I listen to Touhou game music to remember fondly the world I was opened up to, despite this being a fanmade remix for a fangame, this is going last in the rotation. It symbolizes the truth we'll all know: despite everything, Gensokyo will live on, somehow and someway.
Please dont make me thing about that please its to sad.
@Prado If science can find the cure to death, it will have found the cure to humanity.
@@KitsuneDzelda wow dont cut yourself in that edge r/im14andthisisdeep
@@bamshablam5977 This ain't reddit chief
@@fungitower By saying r/im14andthisisdeep
I was referencing the kind of people who are edgelords not the reddit itself lol
That description actually made me shed a tear, this theme really helps too. It sounds like the perfect theme for a reunion battle, which Marisa really deserved after having to go through what was potentially the end of Gensokyo.
AAALL ABOOAARD THE DREAM EXPRESS!
***** Next stop, Emotional Skyscraper for work.

@@KogasaTatara514 i have been waiting until someone pointed that out so thank you
@@Medjedd. ah. Glad I'm not alone in hearing it. And how unusual that I comment that on a 3 year old comment, yet I get a reply 3 hours later. Just found that a bit amusing.
@@KogasaTatara514 OMG, YOUR RIGHT!
the fact that MS was the first touhou I ever played makes this even more awesome and sad
sara and louise are precious
all touhou ms girls are good. except mai. mai can just stop.

This theme gives the feeling of seeing a bird flying full of life across the sky, riding the air currents so intensely it's almost impossible to track it with your own eyes. But instead of a bird, it was a butterfly with a peaceful white and vivid red dichromatic scheme, and it was so vigorous and graceful you aren't even sure if it was real, or just a capriccious daydream.
this theme hypes me up so much god damn, its so intense all the way long
Wow I must say that this song is very good in the way in completely differs from Reimu's previous theme, G-Free. Unlike G-Free which gives of the feeling of finality as you fight the final boss in a battle that will decide the future itself as well as the memories of how the past has led all the way till now, this theme gives off the vibe of a battle with two forces of equal power clashing but not out of conflict but for the pure thrill of battle like a duel between rivals. Awesome remix!
I dare anyone to play this song perfectly on the drums
your description makes me cry ;-;
😡UGH ok
I heard some of "Eternal Shrine Maiden" too.
Check out Witching Dream from LLS. A part of that is heard in here too.
Nostalgia but better, served with a side of feels.
Reimu is beautiful in this picture
It was recently used in that Touhou Doom Mod for what is essentially the Phantasm Stage. It's against Reimu, of course.
With all the Kingdom Hearts running through my mind, I just know...
This could very well fit alongside the canon, and Reimu and Marisa's connections with everyone in the dream Gensokyo would be enough to get them back, with time.
But that might just be wishful thinking. Why am I even worrying about it?
most badass theme today
This song and this image make me think of cupcakes with really sweet frosting.
Any of Reimu's themes can be used for smash reveals...
I don't know if this is a good replacement for the ULiL Reimu Theme. I know there are some parts of it--not to mention the original--in this song but still, this is WAY AWESOMER
(yep, i also know it's wrong grammar)
Oh hi Doremy Sweet.
DREEEAAMMSS
marisa
Dream Express spell.
MissingNom stahp
the background piano at 2:05 sounds kind of like mystic dream from MS. there might also be some eternal shrine maiden in there?
I still have no Idea how to unlock phantasm...
Good thing I can still listen to this theme here though.
Basically it's a bunch of crazy stuff you need to do to unlock Phantasm. Just keep playing and you'll eventually unlock it.
1CC all stories, beat extra, and try to beat lunatic once.
Ben Neuffer I remember needing to do something in Spell Practice too, like capture 81 cards or something like that. Also, I don't see why you need to attempt Lunatic once. You can do that right from the start of the game, you don't even need to be good at Touhou.
You need to have at least 81 spell cards in Spell card Practice
A like this Red Sanae character ^ v ^
I wanna see someone try and play this on Piano.
今日もいい天気☆
Sounds like the theme to a fast paced, chaotic last stand that results in the tables being turned against a stronger opponent.
Aw yis, the theme I've been waiting for
これはかっこいいよ…
Not really, I just like this one.
Splendid! To mix it to Witching Dream
Ah, I read those a long, long time ago. So long ago that I actually forgot whether I really liked them or not.
More like "Witching Dream Express ~ Red and White"
The original Red and -White is best ~
ZUN drummin' too hard aaaahhh
-Spock voice- fascinating.
... I'm not sure if this is a complement or not? "Prosaic" means ordinary, dull, and unimaginative... I'm not sure that's something to be envious of ^^;
The best song, to get your shit rekt to.
I mostly heard the 1st stage theme from MS
I can only find this for CTC... was this an original theme? Did they actually are it official for ULiL? Love this song either way so I'm happy to hear it get revamped. Finally a Reimu theme I actually like.
Seal Sixfour This is a remix of Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Ancients (now named "Red and White" instead of "Ancients") which was Reimu's theme in !Seihou! 1, along with Dream Express, a stage theme from Touhou 4.
Ribbon Ripple Er, 5.
It's the stage 1 theme of touhou 5.
Ribbon Ripple Did I... not reply to this? Ah well, better late than never. I learned this like a month after posting but thanks anyway.
***** After half a year you think I would have learned this myself by now. Come to think of it, I have, and even shows it with my comment right above you. Thanks anyway,
*****
No...
Eternal Shrine Maiden is the stage 1-4 and hell 16-19 theme for Highly Responsive to Prayers.
whats the time signa
:P I think they meant "prosaic" as in "of the prose", they like your prose style. Not calling your style prosaic xD
haha... did you simply mean prose style?
pink diff but lighter!!1! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can lotz a other themes
Man, I sure do like this game, but unlocking the Phantasm stage is complete bullshit.
