Music Room

前言 Foreword[1]
TODO Hi everyone~this is Gureihaunko, the composer for Team Elegant Impermanence of Sakura.

I collaborated with H2SO4 and 豆奶 on the tracks for Blue Devil in the Belvedere.

This time, tracks still mainly revolve around the style of the original Touhou games, but with more of my own style added.

If you like it, be sure to follow our future works!

Abendrot ~ 栖息于霞间 Abendrot[2] ~ Perching Amongst the Red Clouds 百灵猫neko

TODO

Title Screen Theme.

This is theme is "medieval", so I tried a more classical sounding track.

But my harmony theory is all over the place, so you can really only count this as "a track that sounds kinda classical".

Besides the same main Touhou theme as always, doesn't seem very Touhou.

But can anyone hear the main Touhou theme in this anyway?

Stage 1 Theme
雾之湖的芒种 Mangzhong[3] of the Misty Lake 百灵猫neko

TODO

Stage 1 theme.

A very leisurely and light track, creating the feeling of summer, blue skies, scorching sun, and the lake's rippling waters.

And since Cirno makes an appearance, I employed a very "smart" sounding melody.

The part near the end, in contrast, is more leisurely. If you look up, you're sure to see a setting sun.

Night is falling.

Stage 1 Boss - Remilia Scarlet's Theme
Der scharlachrote Teufel Der scharlachrote Teufel[4] 百灵猫neko

TODO

Original Track: Septette for the Dead Princess

Not a track that says "this is it!", even though the melody matches the original.

I wanted to create the atmosphere of relaxation that comes with a stage 1 boss, and indeed it is quite relaxing to listen to.

The remixed melody even has a bit of a comedic and melodious feeling in it, like Remilia is throwing a tantrum to Sakuya again.

A daily life that is as plain as water, how relaxing the Scarlet Devil Mansion must be.

Stage 2 Theme
日暮之下,恶魔的舞会 Devil's Ball At Dusk 百灵猫neko

TODO

Stage 2 Theme.

Gives one a feeling of "sunset" and "nightfall". As a whole, this track focuses more on creating atmosphere.

The setting sun in the background gives one an anxious feeling of endlessness, but luckily night will fall soon.

After that will be the starlight of night, the ground glowing with mushrooms, the skies blurred with starlight. But dangers abound in the forests of night.

Stage 2 Boss - Artemina Lune's Theme
Dasos-Poliouchos Dasos-Poliouchos[5] 百灵猫neko

TODO

Artemina Lune's Theme

A theme that is both elegant yet sorrowful. Fitting for her character setting, since she's a god that protects animals.

I'm quite satisfied with this track's melody, but arranging it took a bit of effort.

One of the sections in the middle uses technique common in Phantasmagoria of Flower View's lategame tracks.

Combined with the main melody, I thought while composing "Will this be too energetic and sound like a lategame track?"

Since she's existed for over a millenia, her track should also have a similar feeling of "I've witnessed all the skies and seas".

Stage 3 Theme
中世纪的晚霞 Red Glow of a Medieval Evening 百灵猫neko

TODO

Stage 3 Theme.

This track is not very "Touhou" at all. Guitar strums paired with panpipes gives one the impression of a European countryside.

Though to be fair, that is the exact setting.

Ah, evening glow, it does have the feeling of evening glow.

Imagine a poet who wanders the lands and seas, looking ahead into the distance, and back at their homeland.

Stage 3 Boss - Eliphia Matthew's Theme
Histoiren de la magie Histoiren de la magie[6] 百灵猫neko & H2SO4

TODO

Eliphia Matthew's Theme.

A track filled with European refinement, since both sides aren't fighting very seriously.

Although the track is not lacking in the excitement of battle, but there's a sort of longing feeling in it.

Once the pipe organ[7] comes up, it gives one the feeling of "slow and steady" and "there's a long story".

In fact, she could have many stories, this time-traveling shrine maiden.

  2. Meaning the red clouds of sunset
  3. One of the 24 solar terms (sub-seasons) of the year, usually in June. Near midsummer, and the last chance for sowing crops.
  4. German for "The Scarlet Devil"
