Touhou has been this one franchise that I know and recognize but has zero idea of what it really is. Thanks for making this content because I can finally fill in the blanks on the stuff that I needed to know about touhou.
Explaining Zun's song-naming sense: "You know when you want to say something artistic, maybe in a foreign language too, but end up just spouting nonsense?Well, that, but while you're drunk"
Making a channel on a especific game based can be a curse sometimes... But, I'm still here, We are still here your really fans... No matter what's game, you game sense is awersome!! Aaaand, Please make a video about Shin Megami Tensei!
Yo! This content is amazing for any newcomer interested in Touhou project. Not many introduction videos that talk about the lore include and the music arrangements that dominate the fandom. I'm excited to see more!
I’ve been into Touhou for a few months now and my favorite EoSD characters are the scarlet sisters. Thank you for making this video and your previous introduction to Touhou video. Touhou has been needing up to date introduction videos for years and you’re videos are very informative and well-structured, and I’d easily recommend them to newcomers and long time fans alike. Please do this sort of thing for more of the Touhou games!
Tysm! I just got into the Touhou fandom last week and the summary gave so much information about the characters and the game, while also being quick enough for me to not get bored listening for an hour.
I love this series... I can't believe you have fallen for the Touhou series like I did 8 years ago! All of the music and arrangements you link to are familiar and I'm super glad that this is giving them more of the attention that it deserves! Demetori, Xi-On, Shibuyan Records and SOUND HOLIC are true gems!
I'm really intrigued by all the character designs in Touhou, particularly Patchouli's which is what drew me to try to get into the series. These videos have been really informative and fun to watch, so thank you! I still don't fully understand how to get into the series and know more about the characters but these videos have been really fun to watch in the mean time. :)
Eosd is responsible for introducing me to the European Touhou twitch community. Ever the last 2 years i had a lot of fun thanks to these people. Due to this watching you tackle Eosd was a lot of fun. I spent a lot of time on this game and managed to get a couple of great achievements which i am still very proud of. Also, if you ever need Eosd game-play then you are more then welcome to use mine.
-Gaijin Hunter -Touhou Holy moly what did I miss Though imo the best way to introduce people to Touhou is by the music and the games, stuff like the fan anime should come in afterwards. Nonetheless, never have I ever seen something I never knew I actually needed, Gaijin Hunter talking about Touhou. xD Another thing noting is how almost every character has their different interpretations of their personalities. An example is Sakuya, where the canon variant is about her being the obedient perfect maid for Remilla Scarlet while the fandom portrays her as someone who obsesses about her mistress. You could make a video of those fanon/canon differences. XD
shanghai teahouse is still my favorite from eosd. a close second is locked girl, mainly because i love how ominous it sounds when the main part kicks in.
To those who are new to Touhou, just know that when it comes to the setting and story, it really starts to grow in depth and complexity after Touhou 10 as that's when ZUN really started to make an effort in world building. The plot itself also started to shift to more focus on the tense political climate within Gensokyou as well as the numerous struggles Reimu has to deal with due to her position.
I'm so glad you are talking about touhou. Please make more videos like this if you can! My favorite song in TH6 is The Maid and The Pocket Watch of Blood.
Really enjoying the Touhou content. I was way into this stuff about 15 years ago but, not speaking Japanese, never knew the storylines. Weird timing too, I just started playing again after seeing Zun was putting his newer games on Steam.
Wow nice videos! I didn't know what to expect, but enjoyed it. It definitely fulfills a type of video that doesn't really exist for Touhou. Also, I love the music arranges / fan works that you highlight in your vids in general. You're picking lots of great ones, and covering the really popular/famous ones when it makes sense. The parts of the original track and fan arranges that you include are good too; often in YT vids I feel like they should have showed off a different part of the song. Looking forward to more!
Of the character descriptions I think Sakuya is my favorite! Going just by music though, Flandre's and Meiling's themese were some of the first I heard so they hold a special place in my heart! Thank you for this series!
It's started! Gaijin Hunter's series on Touhou! My favourite character is Meiling. I just love her design and laid-back personality, not to mention her gorgeous rainbow-like danmaku patterns.. Her theme song is also really good (though I prefer her stage music more...). I just wish she could become playable (outside of the fighting game) one day... Even Cirno made it (on top of having her own game, even!).
I first heard the Tohou Songs through the covers of FalKKonE, so I'm glad that you mentioned him, since he has done many great Monster Hunter covers as well. Also I was glad that I recognized so many when you showed the original versions, since I only new his versions before ^^
I really like these videos. I got into Touhou music through the vocal arrangements on OSU and I now have almost every Yuuhei Satellite / Senya song. I really like this video since its showing me the original versions of the covers and the story behind them. Please do more :)
Rumia does have the most potential in future installments. Darkness is an op ability that is found in final bosses. Alongside her ribbon seemingly be a sealing amulet. Kinda wanna know what happens when that is removed.
I'm really glad I found your channel and I'm looking forward to more Touhou videos! Touhou was always something I knew existed but I was so confused by the vast amount of content (due to doujins) that I never actually was able to grasp anything in particular... I'm really excited to finally learn something about it! Already loved your introduction video :)
This is a very good commentary video. Touhou 6th is a game with many famous music. "Septette for a Dead Princess" and "U.N.Owen Was Her?". These two music are always competing for the top in the popularity vote in Japan.
Yes! more Touhou content is always welcome. Loved your MH videos so its nice seeing your take on this series I've loved for so long. Remilia is my favorite in this game, and close to tied for the series as a hole. She and Suika are the best. Also, needs more Ui-70, Demetori, and CROW'SCLAW for music arranges.
I guess Gaijin Hunter is gathering faith for hakurei shrine now also, 2 arranges that I like a lot from this game 東方Touhou [Chillout/Metal] Apparitions Stalk the Night Arrange by: MintJam Circle: XL Project and ☆ミ Title： メイドと血の懐中時計 （Meaning "The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood".） ☆ミ Album： Touhou Transcendence For Pianoforte 4 「ピアノのための東方超絶技巧曲集４」 ☆ミ Circle： TAMUSIC 「タムシック」 also, everything from touhou makuka sai fantastic danmaku festival is also great, and the game is worth playing If you want to find all kinds of touhou music, I recommend for you to go and search for phoenix kappashiro channel, and Touhou Restoration project Channel, they do a great job to put everything they can in youtube
Pretty accurate, though I'll have to correct you on Patchouli. She wasn't born a Magician, she used spells that negate the need for food, sleep and stops aging, which turned her into a Magician Youkai. PS. When she was first introduced in EoSD she was at least 200 years old.
i somehow feel through the course of this series, we will end up hearing some of Stack's legendary vocals from Akatsuki Records. and I'm all for it. My fav MH legend covering my fav game series. also including Shibayan's "Fall in the Dark" is my favorite remix of appirations stalk the night. also came expecting to see Cirno's Perfect Math Class, was not disappointed. you did your research well, both on our infamous women of Gensokyou and the legendary music that accompany them. well played, well done and i look forward to seeing how you continue. also: first time playthroughs when? X3
also Fav char overall is Marisa Kirisame. her character is just so fun and comedic written, even in the most recent games and her personality is very trollish, but she does care when it comes to those she considers friend. (heck Touhou 6 was my first touhou and i instantly fell in love with her dialogue. plus her bomb spell going on to inspire famous things such as Lux's ultimate from League of Legends) but if it's confined to EoSD.....hmm.....honestly Sakuya. my first ever wall playing the game. and no, it's not because of the fan joke that she is Dio Brando's daughter/a reference to him. She is loyal to a T to a mistress of a species of beings she once (in fan interpretation) was sworn to destroy. Even if it caused her great nearly deadly pain, she would defend Remilia with her very life. I always loved that heart felt loyalty in those interpretations. Plus: Luna Clock- Luna Dial and Night of Nights are just too good.
Been a huge fan of the series since Game 7, aka second Windows game! I wasn't real big on Bullethells back then, but the charm of these games and the music, oh my gosh the music!! It's captured me and I've been a massive fan since! I'm loving you informing people and spreading the word of this amazing series around, hopefully people will appreciate these! ♥
Thank you for the informative Touhou videos! I'm going share this to warm people to Touhou Project. I noticed some people were a bit lost as where to start with the series, and your videos might help them. I like how calm and informative you are with the videos. You even went as far as explaining the nuance of the soundtracks, I can feel your love for the series :') Thank you again, and keep up the good work ^^ Going to check out your other videos as well!
Dang, even though I've been a Touhou fan much longer than you and have put countless hours in these games, you seem much more knowledgeable and researched than me. Good job!
Touhou is pretty special among shooters. While many shooters especially at the time prefer big bulking bosses with super large hitboxes, Touhou opted for bosses that are as small as you and move around, which is hard to get old. Big hitbox bosses are quite rare in Touhou.
@@Megamanix His character art in Touhou 17 looks almost identical to what it did 17 years ago in Touhou 6. It's just a bit cleaner and more saturated now.
@@HailGodbug that's how art styles work, bruh. When drawing, of course over the years it develops, it's like learning a new skill, at first it doesn't look that great but when you start using it and practicing it more, that skill gets better snd better, but in a style that you're used to. So as the art style is identical, over the years you can see how ZUN's art develops.
important thing to add that people often leave out, Reimu just didn't immediatly head out to solve the incident, it took weeks for to get annoyed enough to actually get off her ass. Really important to understanding her character imo.
Touhou 6's artstyle had certain charm to it. Reimu and Marisa look extremely cute, I love the style of 6, 7 and 8 because the characters looked like dolls. (That and, back then Gensokyo was still a very new and mysterious world)
The scarlet household is my favorite, with Flan as my favorite character. Love all there songs with U.N. Owen being my favorite and the song that got me into the series.
My first introduction to Touhou was through U.N. Owen Was Her?, and little has beaten it since for me. Zun's music and all of the stuff that was inspired by it is phenomenal. Although I've never had the patience/skill to get to Flandre in EotSD, it's still a wild play. Worth checking out!
Ok, so to answer your question... Sakuya! Another thing, just if you haven't heard of the amazing arrangements by Oriens, just search "Oriens Nightmare" on youtube and listen to that song, is amazing, if you like the song, they made like 8 albums, all of them are really good. Stage 3 theme of EOSD is perfect IMO. Good to know you like the series, Touhou deserves all the love it gets, and even more.
So glad you and Yuna are getting into Touhou! Looking forward to the future touhou vids. By any chance, have you seen the metroidvania Touhou game on steam called Touhou Luna Nights? If not - it's pretty awesome!
I got this game for Christmas many years ago but since I didn't set my PCs local to Japan I couldn't run it properly - it would just freeze at the title screen. Music was still working though so I listened to that title theme for hours while searching a solution for my problem which is why this particular song always makes me feel really nostalgic. EoSD is one of my all time favorite games. Whenever I'm bored or have a bad day, I can always boot it up and have a fun time. It's just a really enjoyable game. Favorite character is Meiling.
Actually, in Touhou vampires don't quite die in the sunlight, rather over an extended period of time they slowly crumble off a bit of their body, which can then just be re-absorbed. However, other than that, you got pretty much everything right, which is absolutely wonderful. I'd really love to see more videos as well-informed as this one both on your channel and just RUclips in general. You did an amazing job with this one and with "Introduction to Touhou Project" as well.
Oh, also, regarding the last question I'm a fairly long-time fan, been into it for about 7 years now, and my favorite character in EoSD is Patchouli Knowledge, and my favorite in general is Alice Margatroid.
I'm new to this Franchise and i'll be honest for picking at first sight favorite character I just kinda naturally gravitated to the Maid whos abilities screamed out the words "Jojo Reference"
Bro Gaijin I mean it when I say this: THANK YOU! If it weren't for you making this video I doubt I would find the character that I saw in a hentai I watched a couple of years heck. Now that I know what franchise the character is from I can go from there! Once again thank you good sir, you have deserved a like from me 😂
Pretty nice video, though one thing I would point out is that while it is true for the earlier games, song titles do have things common with the stage/character in the later games. For example, Junko from Touhou 15 is a character filled with hatred and sorrow, after the death of her son and husband. And her theme is called Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart. And the theme for Hata no Kokoro, a character who lacks emotion and is only able to express via her mask, has the theme named Lost Emotion. And some of them have such deep meanings it's baffling. Like Touhou 15's 3rd Stage theme, which is named Eternal Spring Dream. The stage is within the Dream Realm, where one can be trapped within an _Eternal_ _Dream._ That's not all though, because the events of Touhou 15 takes place in _spring_ and the protagonists, if chosen Pointdevice Mode, will drink a potion of immortality, making them _eternal._ There are lots of examples, and realising the meanings behind the theme names can be a pretty great way of realising a character or stages backstory or something about them.
I have been a sideline fan for years. never really played the games because of what they are. UN Owen was her is one of my favourite songs and I acctually semi adapted the EoSD storyline to a Persona themed tabletop game I was running. A yakuza boss trying to extend her influence and her young sister that she kept out of public view. In the Shadow world they were represented by Remilia and Flandre. Flandre was meant as an optional boss. but my Players convinced her to fight Remelia thus skipping 2 boss fights. In the real world of my game this ended up being the young sister leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to lead the detectives right to her sisters operations, proving that she was the more cunning of the two, but more interesting in having a normal school life with friends.
Reimu beats up a girl who wants to go outside. Totally the hero.
Well I mean, just like how Kaguya wanted to hide from lunarians, it had some bad side effects that needed to be solved
Salty Shunk
Honestly, the “villain” causing the incident just have such innocent purpose and Reimu is there to beat them up.
Cold Reimu... just Cold...
Edits
Well... maybe not all of them, but most of them...
@@Zack_Zander it's a running joke within the community that Reimu isn't exactly a hero and just goes around bullying people.
I may have gotten this wrong, but basically Touhou 6 is a girl who wanted to go outside, Touhou 7 is a girl who wanted to watch her Cherry Blossom Tree to bloom, Touhou 8 is a girl who simply wanted to hide, etc, etc
@@Zack_Zander well part 9 is an actual problem with too many people dying and the ferryman being lazy.
Touhou 10 is Reimu starting a holy war, 11 is her halting the progress of technology, 12 is ANOTHER holy war, 13 is YET ANOTHER holy war. 14 is Reimu stopping a proletariat uprising because she is of the bourgeoisie. 15 she actually stopped an invasion of moon rabbits and does something heroic for once. 16 is her stopping someone from looking for new assistants. Haven't played 17 so I can't tell you what heinous acts she commits in that one.

Plus: Luna Clock- Luna Dial and Night of Nights are just too good.
Wow. The style of this video is amazing. Very good and informative.
Good job man
Been a huge fan of the series since Game 7, aka second Windows game! I wasn't real big on Bullethells back then, but the charm of these games and the music, oh my gosh the music!! It's captured me and I've been a massive fan since!
I'm loving you informing people and spreading the word of this amazing series around, hopefully people will appreciate these! ♥
10:18 ZA WARUDO! TOKI WO TOMARE!
Yep, Sakuya is very much inspired by Dio, right down to her time stop spell being called “Sakuya’s World”.
@@MaskedHeroLucky literal jojo reference. not my favorite character but pretty high up there
The English title of Flandre's theme remix is Last Brutal Sister Flandre S by COOL&CREATE and BeatMario
Thank you for the informative Touhou videos!
I'm going share this to warm people to Touhou Project. I noticed some people were a bit lost as where to start with the series, and your videos might help them. I like how calm and informative you are with the videos. You even went as far as explaining the nuance of the soundtracks, I can feel your love for the series :')
Thank you again, and keep up the good work ^^
Going to check out your other videos as well!
Yes, there is a xi~on remix in here as well as iosys. Hope you make more of these, looking forward to the hisoutensoku one.
Oh boy as a long time 2hu fan, I am happy to see you posting this after seeing your tweets about it
Thank you Gaijin Hunter for creating the perfect video to introduce my freinds to touhou
Dang, even though I've been a Touhou fan much longer than you and have put countless hours in these games, you seem much more knowledgeable and researched than me. Good job!
You can already guess why I'm here...
I would gladly watch more of these
Touhou is pretty special among shooters. While many shooters especially at the time prefer big bulking bosses with super large hitboxes, Touhou opted for bosses that are as small as you and move around, which is hard to get old. Big hitbox bosses are quite rare in Touhou.
My favorite part about Touhou is that Zun's art hasn't improved since he started the series
That isn't true..
@@Megamanix His character art in Touhou 17 looks almost identical to what it did 17 years ago in Touhou 6. It's just a bit cleaner and more saturated now.
I think Marisa in LoLK is Zun's peak art performance.
@@HailGodbug that's how art styles work, bruh.
When drawing, of course over the years it develops, it's like learning a new skill, at first it doesn't look that great but when you start using it and practicing it more, that skill gets better snd better, but in a style that you're used to. So as the art style is identical, over the years you can see how ZUN's art develops.
@@Megamanix I did and it looked back with Zun's penchant doll face.
*Uses continue on Cirno*
Seems about right
important thing to add that people often leave out, Reimu just didn't immediatly head out to solve the incident, it took weeks for to get annoyed enough to actually get off her ass. Really important to understanding her character imo.
So you're covering every windows entry, it's a good way to introduce more people to the fandom, so that's nice
Touhou 6's artstyle had certain charm to it.
Reimu and Marisa look extremely cute, I love the style of 6, 7 and 8 because the characters looked like dolls. (That and, back then Gensokyo was still a very new and mysterious world)
The scarlet household is my favorite, with Flan as my favorite character. Love all there songs with U.N. Owen being my favorite and the song that got me into the series.
My first introduction to Touhou was through U.N. Owen Was Her?, and little has beaten it since for me. Zun's music and all of the stuff that was inspired by it is phenomenal. Although I've never had the patience/skill to get to Flandre in EotSD, it's still a wild play. Worth checking out!
I nearly lost my mind when I heard Fall In The Dark playing. Instant like
absolutely love these 2hu videos
Ok, so to answer your question... Sakuya!
Another thing, just if you haven't heard of the amazing arrangements by Oriens, just search "Oriens Nightmare" on youtube and listen to that song, is amazing, if you like the song, they made like 8 albums, all of them are really good.
Stage 3 theme of EOSD is perfect IMO.
Good to know you like the series, Touhou deserves all the love it gets, and even more.
I love UN Owen was her, such a nice piece. I saw it labeled as death waltz once and never knew much about the back story~!
So glad you and Yuna are getting into Touhou! Looking forward to the future touhou vids. By any chance, have you seen the metroidvania Touhou game on steam called Touhou Luna Nights? If not - it's pretty awesome!
I got this game for Christmas many years ago but since I didn't set my PCs local to Japan I couldn't run it properly - it would just freeze at the title screen. Music was still working though so I listened to that title theme for hours while searching a solution for my problem which is why this particular song always makes me feel really nostalgic.
EoSD is one of my all time favorite games. Whenever I'm bored or have a bad day, I can always boot it up and have a fun time. It's just a really enjoyable game.
Favorite character is Meiling.
Gaijuu has become the Youkai Hunter now. A Shrine Manden.
Bad Apple FTW
Actually, in Touhou vampires don't quite die in the sunlight, rather over an extended period of time they slowly crumble off a bit of their body, which can then just be re-absorbed. However, other than that, you got pretty much everything right, which is absolutely wonderful. I'd really love to see more videos as well-informed as this one both on your channel and just RUclips in general. You did an amazing job with this one and with "Introduction to Touhou Project" as well.
Oh, also, regarding the last question
I'm a fairly long-time fan, been into it for about 7 years now, and my favorite character in EoSD is Patchouli Knowledge, and my favorite in general is Alice Margatroid.
I'm new to this Franchise and i'll be honest for picking at first sight favorite character I just kinda naturally gravitated to the Maid whos abilities screamed out the words "Jojo Reference"
Bro Gaijin I mean it when I say this: THANK YOU! If it weren't for you making this video I doubt I would find the character that I saw in a hentai I watched a couple of years heck. Now that I know what franchise the character is from I can go from there! Once again thank you good sir, you have deserved a like from me 😂
Pretty nice video, though one thing I would point out is that while it is true for the earlier games, song titles do have things common with the stage/character in the later games. For example, Junko from Touhou 15 is a character filled with hatred and sorrow, after the death of her son and husband. And her theme is called Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart. And the theme for Hata no Kokoro, a character who lacks emotion and is only able to express via her mask, has the theme named Lost Emotion.
And some of them have such deep meanings it's baffling. Like Touhou 15's 3rd Stage theme, which is named Eternal Spring Dream. The stage is within the Dream Realm, where one can be trapped within an _Eternal_ _Dream._ That's not all though, because the events of Touhou 15 takes place in _spring_ and the protagonists, if chosen Pointdevice Mode, will drink a potion of immortality, making them _eternal._ There are lots of examples, and realising the meanings behind the theme names can be a pretty great way of realising a character or stages backstory or something about them.
not really potion of eternity, it's more of an elixir that allows you to see the future iirc
12:52
*oof*
my favorite version of Eastern Dream is from Demetori, a really great prog metal-jazz fusion song
I remember coming here for MH Generations tutorials years ago, guess we're a Touhou channel now.
I support this decision.
Regarding the last question:
Long time fan. Knew Touhou thanks to Synthesia piano tutorials.
My favourite character has to be Cirno or Flandre.
"Sweet little sister" also great song for another arrangement of flandere song, you should check that
I have been a sideline fan for years. never really played the games because of what they are. UN Owen was her is one of my favourite songs and I acctually semi adapted the EoSD storyline to a Persona themed tabletop game I was running.
A yakuza boss trying to extend her influence and her young sister that she kept out of public view. In the Shadow world they were represented by Remilia and Flandre. Flandre was meant as an optional boss. but my Players convinced her to fight Remelia thus skipping 2 boss fights.
In the real world of my game this ended up being the young sister leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to lead the detectives right to her sisters operations, proving that she was the more cunning of the two, but more interesting in having a normal school life with friends.
FALL IN THE DARK
i my self have enjoyed the thouhou series for some time, i just love the scarlet sisters but cirno is waayy precious too
Ah yes, the quintessential U.N. arrange, can't wait to see your pick for Reverse Ideology
*_Good story and explanation._*
