Titles I can’t wait to use for future chapters :

Kagome Kagome, Cinderella’s Cage (I almost used it twice, including one referring to Iffalunar, but it became Candid Friend)

The Centennial Festival for Magical Girls (this one is really creepy in my head, I hope I’ll be able to express my deep incomfort)

Boys and Girls of the Science Era (Timeless Children ???)

Returning Home from the Sky (Innocet ? the Doctor ?)

Kid’s Festival, Innocent Treasures (LOOOOOMS !!!)

Silent Sinner in Blue (don’t look for a soundtrack, it’s the title of an official comic)

I can’t belive I haven’t used “ Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship” yet. Especially since I already used a lot of OST titles from Undefined Fantastic Object. Once I’m done, I’ll post a playlist of all the songs I used as chapter titles !

Votes for Other Categories in 16th TH Popularity Poll

Next poll, they really need to let you vote for more characters and tracks

Music:

Concealed Four Seasons

Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome Kagome

Entrust this World to Idols ~ Idolatrize World

Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind

Shotoku Legend ~ True Administrator

Pristine Beat ~ Primordial Beat

Capital City of Flowers in the Sky

Green Eyed Jealousy

Locked Girl ~ Girl’s Secret Room

Previously Voted Tracks:

Battlefield of the Flower Threshold

The Sea Where the Home Planet is Reflected

Faith is for the Transient People

Secret God Matara ~ Hidden Star in All Seasons

COMMENTS: I’ve always tried to stick to “1 Track Per Game”, as futile as that is with only 10 musical slots.

The tracks I’ve pretty much always voted are Cinderella Cage, True Administrator (HM ver.), Capital City of Flowers, Green Eyed Jealousy, Cosmic Mind, Locked Girl and (usually) Faith is for the Transient People

I switched out Sanae’s theme for Youkai Mountain and Secret God Matara for Concealed Four Seasons (which I’ve grown to prefer as Okina’s theme). Idolatrize World was an immediate favorite and it pushed out Home Planet (which I don’t remember voting). I also put in Pristine Beat bc of Tsukumo Solidarity. Kasen’s theme got pushed out bc I was just really into ULiL last poll.

I really don’t like voting the music category just because 10 votes is not enough. There are so, so, so many other tracks I’ve never gotten a chance to vote before (shout outs to Bell of Avici, Eternal Short Lived Reign, Maple Dream, Satori Maiden, Reincarnation, Lovely Mound of Cherry Blossoms, Futatsuiwa from Sado, Captain Murasa, Candid Friend, Strawberry Crisis, Grimoire of Alice-

Works:

Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery

Touhou Ibarakasen ~ Wild and Horned Hermit

Touhou Shinpiroku ~ Urban Legend in Limbo

Touhou Shinreibyou ~ Ten Desires

Touhou Kikeijuu ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature

Previously Voted Works:

Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night

COMMENTS: I’ve actually only voted “Works” once (in the 14th Poll).

Forbidden Scrollery is still my favorite piece of Touhou media. Urban Legend in Limbo is my favorite Touhou game period, just because I love fighters and ULiL’s amazingly balanced, multi-character plot.

I didn’t vote Wild and Horned Hermit last time, but it took the series ending for me to realize how much I love that series (and how much I’m gonna miss Kasen T_T). Ten Desires is a game I enjoy for every aspect other than the gameplay, ironically enough. While I don’t enjoy Trance, I enjoy every other aspect of the game, like the graphic design (which is just SO pleasing), the cast of characters (Mamizou and Seiga are amongst ZUN’s best creations) and the music (it’s not the series’ best, but it’s still really easy listening)

As for Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, eh why not. I’m still absolutely in LOVE with WBaWC’s cast and story. The fact that I enjoy the game is also a pleasant surprise (UFO’s, er, UFO system, is one of my least favorite sub-mechanics)

Last thing: they should bring back the shipping vote next Poll

My Top Ten* Touhou Tracks

*...as of September 2019 because I love so many and I’m sure my favourites could change not just in order but be completely replaced by ten different tranks within a month.

Making this list felt impossible at times because I picked out 39(!) tracks that I thought were ‘top ten’ worthy, and obviously reducing that list to just ten was really hard and I’m pretty sure I just gave up at some point and tried going with what my gut told me more often than not. 

That sounds like I didn’t put as much thought into this list as I could have, but I would like to spin this as a testament to how good so much Touhou music is and how much it means- Okay that’s a bad excuse.

Behind-the-scenes-edit: I changed this to Top 11 at the last second because I was writing my number one and realised I forgot a song I liked more than number 10!

10 11. Concealed Four Seasons (Okina’s first theme from HSiFS)

I just really love this one. It’s one of the ‘subtly powerful’ kind of boss themes featuring a riff that I adore. That little snippet of Necrofantasia is also nice for lore and my ears.

10. The Clown of the Star-Spangled Banner (Clownpiece’s theme from LoLK)

I think this track is literally the perfect amount of chaotic, cheerful and dangerous for a super powerful fairy dressed like a clown. On top of that, it still manages to have those elements so many of the LoLK tracks have that really make me feel like I’m in space.

9. Night Sakura of Dead Spirits (TD Stage 1)

My favourite of all Stage 1 themes. I’m at complete peace while listening but it’s not too peaceful that I feel like falling asleep.

8. Flawless as Clothing of the Celestials (Pre-Battle theme from SWR)

This is probably my favourite rendition of that classic Broken Moon motif. It  doesn’t represent Touhou as a whole as much as any of the others, and is obviously more meant for Heaven and Tenshi specifically, but it’s still by far the prettiest to me.

7. Walking the Streets of a Former Hell (SA Stage 3)

It’s so happy and festive! The first time I played SA, I didn’t know anything about anywhere, but I could tell right away from this track and the bright lights of the background that I was flying through a cheerful party. ...which I also lost a lot of lives in.

6. Heian Alien (Nue’s theme from UFO)

My favourite Extra Boss theme. It sounds exactly like what I’d expect from the title: Otherworldly, mischievous, but also a really addictive beat. I actually get chills near the end of the loop where the track goes low and then the trumpets blare out. 

5. Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome-Kagome (IN Stage 5)

It’s beautiful and manages to sound both epic and child-like at the same time. It really is the perfect theme to a bunch of rabbits.

4.  Lullaby of Deserted Hell (SA Stage 5)

I got really emotional while listening to this. I mean, that applies to 70% of touhou tracks, but this one was one of the... 50% that did it the very first time. It’s so good and makes me want to fall asleep among a bunch of sad skeletons!

3. Wind God Girl (Aya’s theme from PoFV)

Super bias time. This was the very first piece of Touhou music I ever listened to. I heard it used in a youtube gaming video, looked it up myself, discovered it rocks, found more tracks in the sidebar, and it all snowballed from there...

2. Desire Drive (TD Stage 4)

Super bias time isn’t over yet. I’ve basically listened to this track and multiple remixes I’d say.... several hundreds of times in the last few years? I’m no longer capable of properly weighing it against other tracks or even articulate why I love it other than ‘It instills happiness into my brain through the most direct of means’.

1. The Shining Needle Castle Sinking in the Air (DDC Stage 5)

Wow there are a lot of Stage 5s on this list. I feel like this track more than either of Shinmyomaru’s themes from Stage 6 actually best represent the entirety of her character and the conflicts of Double Dealing Character as a whole. Also it’s sooo beautiful it soothes yet ignites my spirit every time.

Honourable mentions:

Favourite title theme is a tie between Newshound (Double Spoiler) and Mysterious Purification Rod (Double Dealing Character).

Favourite Stage 1 boss theme is A Midsummer's Fairy Dream (Eternity Larva's theme) and I mention it here because it was the only Stage 1 boss theme among the 39 tracks I picked.

Favourite credits theme is Oriental Evening Sky (Scarlet Weather Rhapsody).

Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome-Kagome

(Song from Imperishable Night)

A song with a similar mindset to "Plain Asia", but this song's melody and the sounds I used are more conspicuously Japanese. This is an original, Touhou-style reinterpretation of the traditional Kagome-Kagome that every Japanese person knows.

While it wasn't composed in the same time period, I think that it's just as powerful as Touryanse, making them the two major fantasy children's songs. While the similarities end there, they both seem to have unfading power. I wanted to see how much I could fool around with the song without reducing that power. I think that's a good way to demonstrate how powerful they are.

By the way, Cinderella is a foreign fairy tale. Huh? You knew that already? Sorry.
