  • This is the Extra Stage theme from Touhou 5: Mystic Square
    I wrote a bloody long story called Alice's Adventures in Gensokyo and it doesn't fit in the description box. I am sad now TT__TT

      honestly, much of Alice's entire character is one of the few main plot holes when considering the fact that technecally, the PC98 era is indeed canon (and hinted to quite often in print works)
      of course, as with what ZUN said, in the case of a contradiction, the info that came out later in correct

    Well, Gensokyo IS a wonderland to people like Sanae who come from the Outside...
    We have Alice, the White Rabbit (Two, actually: Reisen and Tewi), Orin or Chen could be that cat, and Remilia's basically the Queen of Hearts (Blood, but who's counting), so all we need is a Mad Hatter and we have a full parody.

      I've been thinking: Yuyuko almost never speaks directly, and she has a thing for her tea. She also tried to bring poisoned sake to the feast in Yukari's story of Immaterial and Missing Power(Mad Hatter's drug-laced tea). All she needs is a hat and she's a perfect fit.

    • @alejandrotti10
      @alejandrotti10 9 лет назад +33

      Yukari as the mad hatter. She's incomprehensible to most humans, she's a fairly important character, and her hat, most importantly, is fabulous~.
      Also, as for the two white rabbits thing, I personally think that Reisen is more of a march hare.

      It's mostly symbolic. Alice is a pupetter. Like an artist with characters. You get the idea. Lot of people think the projection of ZUN is Rinnosuke Morichika, but I think it's actually Alice. The other theory is her book, is actually the memories of ZUN about the PC-98 Era. The book is always sealed and taken personally by Alice. It is so important that she is always taking it. Think about it, it's like you kept your memories close to you but never open it.
      Others hints like during PCB, Alice being friendly with Reimu but Reimu could not remember. Alice, is by definion, bizarre.
      She is the best symbol of fantasy too, with "Alice in Wonderland", so it's quite important.
      Team Shanghai Alice. Team first, characters second, and the artist last.
      Hoewever the word "Team" is first, so we can assumre ZUN see his characters as partners of his own team. It's not just puppets or characters anymore, but something "true" to him.

    Now that I think about it, if Gensokyo is simply a dream in Alice (Or Reimu's) imagination, that would explain the change between PC-98 and Windows, since the characters growing older would explain the setting becoming more mature, the story getting more complex, and the music and colors increasing in quality.

      You could basically say that about any story. Due to the many crazy things that happen in fiction, you could say that it's all a dream and everyone would be none the wiser. In fact, Super Mario Bros. 2 and Alice in Wonderland fully run with this concept. So who's to say this isn't true when applied to other wacky video games or movies.

    Alice’s music from this game is so good, and just makes me more and more curious about her character. How did she get so strong so quickly? When, why, and how did she reject humanity to become a magician? All interlaced with sad and nostalgic music interlaced with discordant (not sure how else to describe it) harmony.

    When i first heard this theme i was like: Where have i listened this before? It was a good theme dude", then i realised i have never listened it till those times o.o Maybe the rhythm was familiar from other touhou themes or something like that, but it's still...

    It's hard for me to revisit these uploads because teenage me already left his mark in the comments and I can't help but burn the Library of Cringe that I've built up over my years online, but by some miracle he didn't touch this one, so it's time for adult me to gush a little about this track.
    I have quite a few favorite ZUN tracks from this era, but this one will quite literally never be beaten by any arrangement ever. Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly has gotten some arranges that are so magical they make me cry, and that's my favorite ZUN song. But this one has such a *specific* vibe that will never be beaten by anything other than its original form. This song takes everything I love about PC-98 FM sound and cooks a masterful dish with it. I don't envy the task of any arranger of this theme thinking about even coming close to living up to the original. A more impossible task I've never seen.

  • @bodhisuryana2447

    i think ZUN has big theme on the world he had created. Zun really likes the old times, the classic. Gensokyo is based on feudal Japan, which consist of forgotten gods and ancient culture. He reference old literature like Agatha Christie and this song Alice in Wonderland. I dont know. I kinda see him as a romanticist.

    Maybe the PC-98 era was a time long before the Windows. Byakuren should have been in Makai in MS, but she wasn't. Maybe PC-98 takes place before she got sent there? Reimu and all the other characters from PC-98 are just ancestors to the windows characters. Those aren't really their names either. Maybe PC-98 is being told to us in a different point of view. So the names were made up to represent the ones in Windows. Does that make sense?
