Touhou Witching Dream Remix (Reimu’s Stage 1 Theme)

Time for another new Touhou PC-98 GarageBand music! From Lotus Land Story, it is Reimu’s Stage 1 theme: Witching Dream! If you chose Reimu, you’ll hear this stage theme!

Special thanks to guumin for the wonderful fanart of PC-98 Reimu. Had to unfortunately use a twitter (or x I guess…) link… Oh well… the art is stunning though.
My note:
What an interesting composition, it feels parallel to Selene’s Light. Since I already made Selene’s Light, why not do this one too? I’m sure it needs attention as well. It was actually quite a walk in the park with this one and of course, you’ll be hearing a bunch of hint music again this time with Maiden’s Capriccio and the return of the unused stage 1 theme, Lotus Road again. You’ll also notice the piano ending is the same as my Selene’s Light arrange since it is leading toward the first stage boss of Lotus Land Story. If you haven’t listened to my Selene’s Light arrange yet, you might want to listen to that too. Other than that, a splendid well done for this composition. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.
The PC-98 journey continues! I’ll be sending out Orange’s theme at some point. Look forward to it! Thanks for listening, and take it easy everyone!

Thank you, king. You know classic Touhou music like no other. This is art.

[@Aurachan787]

Awesome, Witching Dream is such an underrated song! I absolutely love the ZUNpets and little bits of Maiden's Capriccio/Lotus Road. You did a great job on this remix! ^^

[@ulyssesduckler7345]

Oh this is fucking fantastic. Reimu has all the best themes and you do all the best remixes. A match made in Bhavaagra!

[@xuko6792]

Love how you made it sound fresh, still preserved that feel of longing for the journey the original has.

[@prayagsuthar9856]

Damn, this whole thing in GarageBand??? It's incredible!!! If there was ever a Windows rendition of a PC-98 track, _this would be the one_ 🤩🤩🤩

[@TXFlyveon]

OMG I LOVE IT!!! This is one of my favorites from PC-98! And I love how the outro is Decoration Battle, GENIUSSS! Thank you so much for making this!

Hey dude so this is fucking INSANE

[@TailRecursive]

Really nice! And I love the piano section at the end.
Just a nitpick: I feel like the music is too compressed at some points

[@MarioGm734]

That's how I always play unfortunately, I can't seem to balance sound that well enough. So sorry about that... I'll continue experimenting how to balance the compression. But thanks for the feedback.

Hi, I comment not about this song but about your channel:
I'm not trying to demotivate you, but I think you shouldn't force yourself to arrange every pc-98 soundtrack just because they are unpopular!
The quality and excitement is best when you cover a song that you truly love, as I've been hearing from your non-pc98 songs.

[@MarioGm734]

Hmm… this sounds like a serious discussion… If anything though, I’m not forcing myself to create every PC-98 music. I do this for fun, and it has been a side hobby of mine for years. I always take my time to create them however as best I can. Whenever there’s time (such as my subscriber specials) or when the mood strikes, I do occasionally make other arrangements besides just PC-98 music. But even then, it’s still my content and I chose to create pc-98 music so that people won’t forget them. No matter the quality and excitement, it’s just music. We all love listening to many arrangements. Whether big or small, it still creates an impact to everyone. So really, don’t get too far with this… let me enjoy what I love to create. I will eventually make other arrangements from time to time. I’m sure everyone would love that.
But yeah I’m not good with words, so I hope you understand. But, I would like to discuss this further with you through another platform besides here. Preferably, if you have Discord that would be great. I’ll take some time to hear you out about this.
