Touhou 17.5 OST: Title Screen

All rights are reserved to ZUN.
I don't really know who did the music considering the demo released during the autumn season of Reitaisai; expect me to tag composers and artists when the game is finished.

[@harrid14mei]

The beginning sounds like it would fit in Yakuza games.
*Epic clash intro*
TOUTETSU
MATRIACH OF GOYOKU ALLIANCE

[@euphony5552]

Holy shit you're right.

[@MagGunDO17]

Goat of the Gouyoku Alliance actually

[@terra6713]

Holy shit you were right

[@RAEOutofService]

Holy shit

[@nimitzv]

Sound very epic for a title screen or is just me?

[@melamichan8949]

Yes.

[@artasky6093]

Yeah

[@2006man]

Touhou 12.3 also has an epic title theme.

[@prizmastarz742]

They could have done better with the zunpets tbh

[@Sherkel]

@@prizmastarz742 I've always been ambivalent about how Akiyama uses ZUNpets, but I think it's better than just copying them when he does everything else so differently too.

[@DragonGodXIII]

No lie, this one sounds incredibly ominous.

[@0Qualit]

Maybe only the first part. 15 seconds in and the creepy vibe goes away

[@DragonGodXIII]

@@0Qualit Fair enough. Still, it's pretty jarring when paired with any other game's title music.

[@babel_UV]

even the non creepy part is feels "mature"

[@braydeno4189]

This is just as cool and kind of sinister as Wily Beast and Weakest Creature's Title Theme which is fitting. Also considering how batshit insane and cool the game's story is, that makes it even cooler.

00:00 - 00:29
"Something is lurking... Deep inside Gensokyo...
A mysterious black substance...
Some uses it for beneficial, some got suspicious about the substances...
The shrine maiden came, and hope the incident will be solved immediately...
The enigmatic substance's rumour has spread quickly...
Some called it the Kappa's anomaly...
Some called it a new Youkai...
Still, the true nature of this enigmatic substance is yet to be found...
Thus, let this war of fantasies begin..."
*Zunpet came
Touhou 17.5 Gouyoku/Goyouku ibun ~ Mizunagashita/Suiboushita jinyu jigoku
(Is the time enough for all of those words? Idk haha)

[@HirokaAkita]

Perfectly enough time to read my friend, and well fitted with rythm.

[@williewillus]

Heavy Corpse Party vibes at the start for some reason. The trumpets cover it up a bit but it's still there in the bass too.

[@essexclass8168]

feels like the PC version's 1st and second level themes

[@linkkicksu]

Love how you can hear a hint to Flan's theme in there

[@lapatatafeliz]

She was there the whole time...

Fellas I can’t lie I’m more than a little addicted to this track

[@johnshriver8416]

Same

[@spyshark_5002]

WOW. What a theme. EASILY my favourite title theme of any touhou game so far!

[@SodaSizzle]

1:07 sounds like Yuyuko's theme
0:00 sounds like Nue's theme

[@SaigyoujiYuyuko]

1:07 sounds more like eastern story theme
Now i hear yuyuko’s theme

[@xXbrokenvoidXx]

Anyone else hear a bit of Border of Life?

[@SodaSizzle]

I hear it!

0:00 - 0:29 Wait, Zun never manage to do rock on his own...
0:29 Yeah, there it is, that is the Zun music that we wanted...

[@touhouyamaxmichezuch.1302]

This is not composed by ZUN.

[@Tulipia5]

@@touhouyamaxmichezuch.1302 That explains a lot

[@shiggydiggy-n8l]

This sounds like more of a Shin Megami title screen with zunpets lmao

[@adzi6164]

lol, this one has some *heavy* tunes for a Touhou games

[@aurumrs5158]

I heard theme of eastern story somewhere? I dunno...
Anyways, just the main theme makes me scared of what may happen... It gives me a creepy, mysterious, and powerful feeling...

[@Naifu_meido]

Heian alien?

[@SodaSizzle]

No

[@erifaults]

So I wasn't the only one that hear it~

[@nico1520]

It's probably just a coincidence, just like with Okina's theme.

[@abarette_]

absolutely yeah

[@parazygone9567]

Hey! An Alien!!

[@adzi6164]

Oh you XD

[@yinttalmaixyond7661]

Much darker than before, but I really like it

[@cupley8242]

1:07
very faint Eastern Story leitmotif there!

[@mage_no_title]

-every intro track in touhou

[@fluffy_cheese7478]

And I thought touhou 17’s was intense

[@everthon2457]

What kind of title theme is that? Like holy crap!

[@fernandoemiliosuarezchel3665]

Wow.....Rock + zunpetas.... Que EPICO!!!

[@akiradkcn]

Muito foda

[@greenD7244]

It feels like a True Arena waiting room from Kirby mixed with Shadow the Hedgehog

[@weavabird]

that intro is so raw

[@wulerhaufung9468]

The zero dislike is from the player who wanted to start game but stayed for the music

[@georgethompson1460]

Is it just me or has touhou openings been slowly getting more ominous

[@shinki_mania4684]

このフレーズが饕餮戦でめっちゃあったらガチで号泣してたかもしれない…

[@AlfredPros]

This is what I call epic!

[@halifay1668]

holy shit

[@lydiasuliyantowijaya6978]

Oh Yeah! There's zunpet!

[@Roosauec]

Holy shit game, this is just the title screen! You have no right going this hard right as I boot you up!

[@quirk6272]

Wau :O

[@yuithekitsuneko]

The select noise in 17.5 reminds me of the select noise in Shadow the Hedgehog

[@abarette_]

Hoooo I hear Nue's theme in this, very clearly

[@SodaSizzle]

0:28

[@janswhatsupdoc]

Trumpets give me fucking chills

[@ord3r781]

This always gets me hyped to do the greedy challenge
Until I remember that I suck at this game

[@farisazka2568]

its just me or the sound very familiar with heinan alien

[@abarette_]

the counter melody is the one from Heian Alien, yeah

[@konstantinsotov6251]

First i thought it was doom...

[@Ellynam4]

Gracias

[@seancatacombs]

For all the fucked up shit that happens in 17 and 17.5 (late game reveal that you were the bad guy all along, manipulating Flan to use her as a bioweapon (again)) the sinister theme songs are perfect

[@GooberousBeast]

1:07 sounds more like necrofantasia than border of life for me tbh

[@artasky6093]

That's was fast

[@WanderingRonin509]

Not gonna lie the first part of this reminds me of a dragon ball z song till the zunpets kick in that is

i agree

[@prizmastarz742]

Pretty meh intro, the ZUNpets kind of didn't blend nicely with the mood

[@touhouyamaxmichezuch.1302]

I really like it personally.

[@harrid14mei]

Maybe you just misinterpreted the mood
