| Description | Title: 稲田姫組曲 -Toho Grand Orchestra- Artist: ネオ (translation: Neo, THE CHOSEN ONE!? *ahem*) Circle: Sound./Ecriture Album: Rhapsody～幻想郷狂詩曲 Original: 稲田姫様に叱られるから (Because Princess Inada Is Scolding Me) So, I don't quite recall who it is but I'm 100% sure I got a request for Minoriko's theme, I hope I'm not wrong? SHOW YOURSELF!!! Well anyways, since we're still appreciating stage 1 why not add in another of ZUN's most Latin/jazzy tracks, which also happens to be a stage 1 boss theme. Not that I dislike deities, gods or stuff like that, actually my favorite 2 characters happen to be goddesses but well these two sisters are pretty plain, I read that they where ranked the LOWEST of ZUN's lolis in an annual TOHO popularity contest, pretty harsh. But, I like that image, it's pretty calming. Well, I won't deny the fact that their themes are pretty catchy, since it's another of those ZUN tracks that have a heavy jazzy influence. "It has a pretty good tempo compared to the rest. I tried making it with the image of a harvest festival and an inexperienced and thoughtless god. The only game that can do this kind of nervousless piece is Touhou. Normally, fighting a boss with this kind of music would be difficult. It is a short loop, but the boss fight itself is short anyway." -ZUN, Translated by Touhou Wiki Let me ask you, how many times have you died in a Touhou game because you where too busy listening to the awesomeness that ZUN provides us? I think the amount of times I've died because of that are near countless. This is probably one of the reasons that this theme gets overlooked a lot, firstly it's a stage one theme, second it's short, combine those two elements and you get a pretty overlooked song. Anyways, that aside, EPIC orchestra is EPIC. Sound./Ecriture is a very mixed circle they combine various stuff in their releases, which I mostly dislike, from mostly punchi punchi stuff to jazz and finally these orchestras, pity it's only one "-Toho Grand Orchestra-" track per album (they are conveniently placed as the FIRST track in these albums), there are a total of 4 albums, but the first one doesn't feature the "CHOSEN ONE", so it's only a total of 3 of these epic orchestras, which is sad, the guy is extremely good after all. The title is a basic reference to a goddess of fertility, well there are various ones from different cultures but I think that Greece's Demeter or Artemis (or Ceres and Diana if you happen to know the Roman equivalents) are the most well-known ones; I'm guessing "Princess Inada" might be another one, I'm not really sure myself though, so I decided to tie Touhou to some Greek stuff; after all, Minoriko is a goddess of Harvest/Fertility stuff like that (HMMM... That sounds pretty dirty...) Anyways, comment and whatnot. Thanks for watching. And thus ends the stage 1 appreciation, did you appreciate it enough? I would have done a full appreciation from EoSD to UFO, but I kinda caught myself off-guard, I did it without actually planning it so yeah, well, maybe I'll do it again in the future, a planned one next time. This could be called a "semi-appreciation" of stage 1ies. My next 2 uploads are very predictable, any guesses?
