  永江衣玖のテーマです

  結構昔の話ですが、水族館でリュウグウノツカイのミイラを見ました。
  写真では見た事はあったのですが、やはり実物を見るとインパクトが
  違います。平べったくて異常に長い不思議な魚です。
  その異形な魚は、とてもこの世の物とは思えなません。

  そんな衣玖のテーマ曲です。

Iku Nagae's theme.

This is a pretty old story, but I saw an oarfish mummy in an aquarium once.
I'd seen pictures before, but seeing it in person leaves a totally different impact. It's a flat and unusually long fish.
It's hard to believe it's something from this world.

This is the theme song for that sort of Iku.

Notes:

In Touhou Project, several things in the sky are sometimes seen to resemble ones in the sea. For example, in Second Gensou-Luna War, Reimu took the Sumiyoshi-Three-God Rocket to fall on the near side of the Moon, while Mizue no Uranoshimako rode the turtle to get to the far side of the Moon.
On this title, it means literally "the oarfish swims in deep sea" — an oarfish has the crimson dorsal fin, and there is no light or it looks black in the deep sea. Switching our brain from the marine to the air, we should understand the title like "Iku floats in thunderstorms" — Iku wears the crimson shawl, and black sea can be seen as black clouds. Moreover, watching her dialogs in story mode of Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and focusing on another red one, this interpretation goes "the black clouds are getting crimson", which mentions "the earthquake comes soon".

Pre-Battle (Before facing Tenshi Hinanawi)
天衣無縫
Ten'i muhou

Tenshi Hinanawi's theme / Bhavaagra theme
有頂天変 ~ Wonderful Heaven
Uchoutenpen
Catastrophe in Bhavaagra ~ Wonderful Heaven ZUN

  比那名居 天子のテーマです。

  もの凄く我が儘で自分勝手なキャラをイメージしてました。
  その我が儘さと言えばレミリアとタメをはれる程度。

  本当の天界は悟ってしまったような人格者ばかりなのですが、中には
  こういう不良もいる訳です。
  でも、不良の方が人間味があります。逆に言えば、彼女は天界のオア
  シスかも知れませんね。

  まあ曲とは余り関係無いんですけどね。

Tenshi Hinanawi's theme.

The key image is of a very willful and self-centered character.
She's as self-centered as Remilia is.

Heaven is really full of enlightened persons of character, but even among them there are inferior ones like her.
Still, that gives her an almost human feel. Turning it around, you might say she's an oasis within Heaven.

Not that this has anything to do with the song, really.

Tenshi's Last Spell Theme
幼心地の有頂天
Osana-gokochi no uchouten
Bhavaagra As Seen Through a Child's Mind ZUN

  ラストスペルのテーマです。

  有頂天変を自分なりに宇宙っぽくしました。
  宇宙といえばパイプオルガンですよね。

The Last Spell theme.

I made "Catastrophe in Bhavaagra" to sound space-like in my own way.
Pipe organs are very space-like, aren't they?

  1. 以魚駆蠅 is an idiom referring to an attempt to resolve a problem in a way that's counterintuitive. It's derived from a Chinese legend featured in Han Feizi which states that it's counterintuitive to try and use a putrid fish to drive away flies, which are attracted to putrid odors.
