  • This is Reimu Hakurei's theme from the fanmade Touhou game published by danmaq, Touhou Mutsuigeki ~ Concealed the Conclusion
    Original(s): G Free
    (Track 7, from 大空魔術 ~ Magical Astronomy)
    少女綺想曲 ~ Dream Battle / Maiden's Capriccio ~ Dream Battle
    (Reimu Hakurei's theme, from 東方永夜抄 ~ Imperishable Night)
    永遠の巫女 / Eternal Shrine Maiden
    (Theme of Levels 1-4, Hell Levels 16-19, from 東方靈異伝 ~ Highly Responsive to Prayers)
    So, I got a bit carried away with the opening. Can you blame me? Besides, it was too much fun anyway :D
    Clips are from 【Touhou Arrange PV】Your Voice【東方アニメ 回路-kairo-】
    • 【Touhou Arrange PV】You...
    ... I'm not going to write an extensive descriptive paragraph today; I think the dialogue speaks for itself. And for those of you who haven't figured it out, speech marks indicate that Reimu is speaking; dialogue without speech marks indicate that Marisa is speaking.

      Yes it is. G Free contains parts of Eternal Shrine Maiden, which is the the stage 1-4 theme for Touhou 1, Highly Responsive to Prayers. Thus it's the first theme to truly play in Gensokyo. Thus the world ends to the first song to ever play in it.

    Marisa knew Reimu like the back of her hand by now. This... thing couldn't be her. Reimu would never laugh like that. Reimu would never talk to anyone, least of all Marisa, in that cold, detached tone of voice. Reimu would never guilt-trip or gaslight her. Reimu would never invite her to rule a dark world at her side. Reimu would least of all try to avoid a fight; for all Marisa knew, she had looked forward to a hero's death even longer than Marisa herself had. But Marisa didn't know what to do.
    Until an old tune, "End of Daylight," popped into her head and she started recalling Reimu's words to her before. "If either of us falls to darkness," Reimu had said before spell cards were established, "the other one must destroy her." Marisa sensed that time had come, and that Reimu was the one who had fallen. But was Marisa up to it? Then Marisa recalled something Reimu had said the very first time they'd met: "Remember, you haven't reached your full potential yet. If you gather all the abilities within your reach, you should become stronger. You may even become as powerful as I am." Those words had driven Marisa's whole life since then. If Reimu foresaw that already back then, surely that point would have come by now?
    As nostalgia powered Marisa, she dug out an old one-liner she'd used on Reimu before: "Alright, alright, I give up, I give up. The creeping despair, people losing the will to fight, incidents stopping, and painting funny symbols on flowers... It's all Alice's fault. Now, bitch, get out of the way!" The girl standing before her said, "Ah yes, you told me that before. It wasn't funny the first time." And then they said to each other in unison, "IT'S ON!"

    as useless as effort. Thank you for dealing with my selfishness
    until now...And I'm *sorry*. So, this is going to be the end soon...
    Don't you have something you want to say?
    Marisa : If there's no way to avoid it, and this is truly fate. To bet on
    Gensokyo's eternal fate I propose a final danmaku duel!
    Reimu : A battle to decide the eternal struggle...I accept!
    Reimu : Gensokyo is *"mine"*, I will not hand it over to you!
    Marisa : Gensokyo isn't just *"yours"*, you can't take it away!
    This is for the first time listeners, and for those who don't know whose line it belongs to. Yeah the feels hits through me.

It doesn't matter who wins, for it will all come to an end either way (I'm aware of the extra/phantasm stage though).

    “The end of a fleeting dream, no matter how blissful...it’s inevitable. I have to wake up at some point. Yet, don’t you see? There’s some part of me that yearns, begs to stay asleep, to never have to face the harsh reality. _You_ are that part of me. The part of me that wants to remain in this blissful dream world, where I’m loved and cherished by all. You shower me with praise and adoration, because you know...when I tire of this place, I will awaken, and it will fade away, with nothing remaining...yourself, included. I’m sorry...but whatever relationship we had was just another manifestation of my thoughts. I’m sorry, my love...but I can’t turn my back from the real world any more, even if you want me to stay. And so, I ask this of you. One last dance between the bullets. I already know you’ll say yes...so...let this be our grand finale...and our goodbye.”

I haven't felt like crying at a game since Silent Hill 2 but there I was, dodging bullets with my heart broken... How bizarre. But I guess that's just how much I love Gensoukyou.
    Leaving aside the unnecessary subplot-thingy with Alice's unrequited love, which broke my immersion completely back when I watched someone's gameplay (thankfully the route I picked turned out to be a different one), this fangame does literally everything right. One of my favorite things about it was the writing for Yukari and Yuyuko. They absolutely nailed their characters.

    I desperately want an AMV for the intro. I can see it in my head:
    Marisa finds out what Reimu wants to do, and rushes to her to convince her not to do it. Tears in her eyes, she begs for Reimu to stop. She tells her to think of all the people they met, the friends they made, the troubles they went through, the crises they averted, but Reimu ignores her. "It's not up to you, Marisa. It's up to me to make and unmake this world." And then, with tears rolling down her cheeks and with a broken voice, Marisa screams.
    "MASTER SPARK!!!"

    Listening to these songs in order, and reading the descriptions... And then finally, this. Just the dialogue practically brought a tear to me. This is a beautiful made fan-game, probably one of the best there will ever be. Trying to live up something as emotional as this, which is already extremely hard to do, is a serious challenge for anybody who is going to make a Touhou fan-game.
    Beautiful, perfect final boss theme. This game deserves praise.

    This song works just on so many levels. The panic of the intro, the lightness of the beginning, the melancholy of the ESM part....what gets me most is the instruments. The 1st section features strings and Japanese flutes, all assoc. with Reimu's themes that all return in the ESM part. On looping, the 1st part is taken over by the ZUN-pets, something featured heavily in WHOSE themes? Plus the doubling of the pianos, which both themes have. It's Marisa's filibuster of Gensokyo's destruction.

    Yes, there might not be canon games made by ZUN, but just think that what if ZUN wants to pass it down?
    Sometimes in life you don't have to think it too negitive of things. The life cycle is different then an normal human being can think of.
    Touhou give bearth to many things we know today, such as: Seihou, Len'en, and to the point even UNDERTALE. If touhou do end, it's like humanity falls into it's knees. So I wish fellow Touhou fans to still support Touhou even if ZUN is no longer with us. We are the ones who made this fandom to an different extent, and gave life to the forgotten Youkais hidden in Gensokyo...
