m (back. init isn't a name - ex: we call it "Ghost Lead", not th13_3... no clear source either way for INTENT so "unclear" is appropriate (let a fan dream..). again, color changes have no reason to be and make the list very monotonous.)

Revision as of 01:26, 27 August 2019

For other uses, see Theme of Eastern Story (disambiguation).

Theme of Eastern Story (テーマ・オブ・イースタンストーリー Tēma obu īsutansutōrī), named as such in Akyu's Untouched Score vol.5, is a song composed by ZUN which serves as the title screen theme in most Windows Touhou Project games. It's thought to be the main theme for the series itself due to the number of times it appears throughout the series. The first physical appearance of the melody appears in the intro sequence of Lotus Land Story, and would later be used in the extra stage theme of Shuusou Gyoku. Later on it appears in the title screen of almost every Windows game, as well as various other songs.

Do note all pieces of information in the "Game", "Use" and "Song Title" columns are clickable links.
