If the pre-chorus was at a lower pitch, like the original, this version would arguably be the Necrofantasia of PC-98 tracks. That chorus is godly on so many levels, it's odd that ZUN left this one out.
This...has a clear Necrofantasia prototype feel to it. The first super-powerful youkai with an umbrella already had that...hint of darkness in her theme, somehow.
To me, it feels like the in-game version and unused version of this song were “separated at birth.” When the first part of Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream loops, the unused version would kick in like a “verse 2”, then once the unused version would start its loop, it returns the version that’s used.
This actually has potential to be the best music Zun have composed. It's a bit upbeat for Yuuka's theme, but switch instruments to ones from the used version, and it'll be better than even Necrofantasia.
Am i the wierd one here for having the opinion that Sleeping Terror is a much superior theme and one of the best Themes ZUN has composed? I don't even find Necrofantasia that good to be honest. There are a lot of themes that have better composition imo.
Seth Abercromby I don't know, I honestly just plain DISLIKE Necrofantasia, so I don't know. Oh, and I apologize for acting immature... wherever it was... I still don't get that point, but to be fair I don't actually remember what it was.
Kaiser Dragon I was just about to wonder whether you're stalking me now lol. It's cool tho. Maybe i need to practice a little on my descriptive skills.
Yuuka's theme is still Inanimate Dream, but this is an unused version of Inanimate Dream. If you compare the two, parts of this song aren't in the actual version.
Definitely a strange alternate version. The beginning is much lighter and less fitting for the fight, but the chorus is arguably even more intense than the game version. It goes without saying that both are great themes though, of course.
in my opinion, this version really sounds more like a final boss theme than the actual one. the darker sound of the chorus really ties into the rest of the game's soundtrack; Alice Maestra and Sleeping Terror for instance.
The unused versions of the songs on the Gensokyo soundtrack all have heavier bass, basically. Which is better. Basically. But yeah, after Reimu, Alice and Marisa, Yuuka is the most popular PC-98 character for a reason (Mima isn't even in the top 50 overall, Yuuka only just dropped out of the top 10 overall this year; FACE REALITY, MIMA FANS.)
countrybluegrass I reject your reality and substitute my own! Even if she isn't the most popular, Mima WAS the most relevant character in PC-98 after Reimu, as she and Marisa were both in 4 of the 5 games. Genjii was too, but he was basically an add-on to Reimu. I punch these numbers into my calculator and it makes a happy face. Basically, she's most likely to be the next PC-98 character to return, if any of them do. And as for your "reality"... You *really* shouldn't let yourself be held back by such things when it comes to the affairs of Gensokyo.
+moondriven Switch Sleeping Terror with Gensokyo, Past and Present ~ Flower Land and you have my list. I don't hate Sleeping Terror, I just sorta prefer Flower Land over it.
I'm going to go out and state my controversial opinion here: I like the used version more, mainly because I prefer it melody-wise. My favorite part is the little flourish that plays after each verse during the chorus.
Yeah i also prefer the used one more but i gotta say this song has a tad bit more variety. Along with the epic 8bit solo at 0:43 but the thing making it sound weird is the pitch thing. It sounds better when it's lower.
Late idc of past many years. *_Can you feel the overwhelming flowing through onto your sin? Its bloom onto your doom!_* Yeah.. im badly screwed up. *PI-CHUUN!*
@@GamerHalt_ Yep,still relevant today.Just had to find a game series that would keep me thrilled and now i'm a fan.Just here for the gameplay and music.
While I quite like this version, I prefer the regular version's rather more percussive intro. I also think the different parts connect more seamlessly. The more sinister mood of this one earns some listens from me once in a while, though.
There's a different pitch for 0:17 - 0:41, 0:41 - 1:30 sounds slightly like part of the original, but not by much. It's pretty different. It was possibly replaced by the version actually used for Yuuka's theme because the opening doesn't fit with the rest of the song. But this is still amazing.
This theme is more light and lively give you better mood while playing LLS, but the other is epic and pumping so you can enjoy LLS very much, maybe everybody want to try set volume to max while battle Yuuka?
THERE IS A PART HERE THAT IS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL VERSION I'M SO HAPPY, AFTER SO MANY MONTHS I FINALLY FIND THE THEME WHERE THIS PART WAS COMING (yee good english, i'm french)
I have some good proofs that yuuka is near or at yukari level, in the PC-98 version she teleports you in the dream world (Mugetsu world ) for fight Reimu and Marisa, so that mean she can open dimension. She is more than immortal,like fairy immortalities, yukari cant do anything to her, fact that Reimu beat Yuuka was lie, yuuka begin to learn magic at the end of Mystic square after Beating Shinki a freaking godess and said she was weak (danmaku rules doesnt exist in PC-98, it was like a death match), in touhou 13 she fights Shikieiki, and wasn’t affraid. I think that means that Yuuka can win almost all the fights, Even if you are more strong than her, she will be always the predator, like Chara vs Sans, Chara will still smile and find a way to beat you= Yuuka will still smile and find a way to beat you.
I dunno, I like the other one better, but I feel like this one fits yuuka better because it feels more like a mature woman who has abilities linked to flowers. The other one feels like a little loli who has powers of mass destruction, yet she still acts like a rather serious final boss.
i like the original better cause one big part thats missing in this one... is the replaced part at 0:41 and that part is my favourite part on the original. i said part a lot lol. and also.. Y U MAKE SO MANY ALT THEMES ZUN?
Around the part of 0:16 there is a different kind of tune meanwhile in the original it's way different, there's a difference. Try listening to the original, or get the original and play the original at the same time with this and maybe you'll learn which parts are mended.
The pre-chorus kills the mood with how light and far too upbeat it sounds, and the chorus is way too repetitive and uninteresting and not as intense as the used version. Not a fan.
If the pre-chorus was at a lower pitch, like the original, this version would arguably be the Necrofantasia of PC-98 tracks. That chorus is godly on so many levels, it's odd that ZUN left this one out.
hey I just made it. I've been thinking about this comment for like a few months and decided to make it myself
@@placeholdername6903 I checked it out, and damn, good job
This...has a clear Necrofantasia prototype feel to it. The first super-powerful youkai with an umbrella already had that...hint of darkness in her theme, somehow.
Everlasting Beauty of Darkness...
In 0:43 you can hear that this has a necrofantsia vibe to it like your fighting confronting an actual boss similar to yukari 😮
To me, it feels like the in-game version and unused version of this song were “separated at birth.” When the first part of Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream loops, the unused version would kick in like a “verse 2”, then once the unused version would start its loop, it returns the version that’s used.
just listen to the Jynx remaster of Faint dream ~ inanimate dream
GypsySprite it’s incredible!
My guess is that the Yuuka fight ingame was too short for both songs to be combined.
This actually has potential to be the best music Zun have composed. It's a bit upbeat for Yuuka's theme, but switch instruments to ones from the used version, and it'll be better than even Necrofantasia.

Seth Abercromby No, that's just something that happens to me a lot.
I hear about something, and then suddenly it's all over the place.
Yuka Kazami is an good example that PC98 era characters can fit well with modern characters I want to see more of them in new games
Mima quite fits too... I wish we had both more often.
***** yea, they were awesome.
what about alice? she fits too!
That's because Yuuka stands out though.
@@BlackMademoisellee Alice already appeared way more often than Yuuka
Yuuka's theme is still Inanimate Dream, but this is an unused version of Inanimate Dream. If you compare the two, parts of this song aren't in the actual version.
CONGRATULATIONS
YOU FOUND THE ORIGINAL OF THE ORIGINAL OF THE ORIGINAL OF THE ORIGINAL OF THE "ORIGINAL"
Definitely a strange alternate version. The beginning is much lighter and less fitting for the fight, but the chorus is arguably even more intense than the game version. It goes without saying that both are great themes though, of course.
+HappyTriscuit I'd imagine that'd be Yuuka then retaliating violently at 0:42...
And now I've finally found YU-MU's missing part of the lyrics :)
in my opinion, this version really sounds more like a final boss theme than the actual one. the darker sound of the chorus really ties into the rest of the game's soundtrack; Alice Maestra and Sleeping Terror for instance.
Both versions are awesome in my opinion. Yuuka is awesome too, after all. 8D

I just like it when someone comments things like this and then people reply and have an unrelated argument on the reply section XD Jokes XD :)
Mekakushi Actors I like when people like my unrelated arguments. I also like pie. (=^_^=)
CrypticNazo I agree with you, because if ZUN really wanted to he could make YuugenMagan the next PC- 98 character to return.
Used version of Inanimate Dream + Unused version = JynX remaster (And I think it's the best one)
The one used in the game sounds very upbeat, while this one sounds darker and more sinister.
Both are awesome, I like this one more though
Out of all of Yukka's themes this one is my favourite ^^
+moondriven Switch Sleeping Terror with Gensokyo, Past and Present ~ Flower Land and you have my list.
I don't hate Sleeping Terror, I just sorta prefer Flower Land over it.
Zun is too good.
0:16 - 0:43 makes me think of if the original Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream was in Ten Desires and got a Spirit World version
I'm going to go out and state my controversial opinion here: I like the used version more, mainly because I prefer it melody-wise. My favorite part is the little flourish that plays after each verse during the chorus.
Same here, may I also add that the key progression in the used one has a better effect than the unused one. That's just my opinion though.
This one to me actually sounds too bright.
Yeah i also prefer the used one more but i gotta say this song has a tad bit more variety. Along with the epic 8bit solo at 0:43 but the thing making it sound weird is the pitch thing. It sounds better when it's lower.
Your opinion is controversial 'cause you're on the unused version video
Best soundtrack best game
I will forever love this version more than the one used in-game.
Do you still prefer it
Omae wa mou: bad ending
Tiny little adiantum: good ending
Yuka theme: True ending
Yuka's unused second theme (this one): secret ending
I love this version more than the one that was actually used. This one sounds way more intense
reminder that missingno could have gotten this track in KFAD2 since its sourcelist includes unused content
Why is everyone comparing this to Necrofantasia?
Great, now each time I listen to the actual version on the 00:00:15 my ears are expecting this transition and it feels as if I were deceived...
Late idc of past many years.

This could have been a final spell theme.
No more a second theme after her final attack. Like yuuka begin serious a bit.
ugh not really last spells are short tracks cuz you know.....is the end of the figth
@@bamshablam5977 Phase 2, then
No since there are no spell card rules i think a second theme
Or Yuuka's theme for Marisa route
Do not argue which version is better. Enjoy it better *sighs*
Why not?
because all Songs are lovely on her own way~
Right, now that's your opinion.
People can have their opinion as well.
I like to burn your field.
that's not really how opinions work lmao
you're basically saying that it's her opinion that people can eve have an opinion on things
There's a different pitch for 0:17 - 0:41, 0:41 - 1:30 sounds slightly like part of the original, but not by much. It's pretty different. It was possibly replaced by the version actually used for Yuuka's theme because the opening doesn't fit with the rest of the song. But this is still amazing.
Wish there was a version that combined both versions
Kinda like Jynx's remix but obviously in the pc98 soundfont
Because the chorus on this one slaps
I feel like if 0:42 was in the used version I would've been more satisfied
the most badass touhou theme ever, prove me wrong
This theme is more light and lively give you better mood while playing LLS, but the other is epic and pumping so you can enjoy LLS very much, maybe everybody want to try set volume to max while battle Yuuka?
I'd hurt my ears because I have gaming headphones that can go beyond a safe volume.
please do not suggest people to blow out their eardrums. Sincerely, someone who knows about how max volume can permanently damage your hearing.
This theme is more suitable for a quieter yet more deadly Yuuka in my opinion,
YU-MU actually sang both versions. This one's part come after the in-game's part.
Different version of the ost...
Reminds me the spirit world versions.
THERE IS A PART HERE THAT IS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL VERSION
I'M SO HAPPY, AFTER SO MANY MONTHS I FINALLY FIND THE THEME WHERE THIS PART WAS COMING
(yee good english, i'm french)
who knew anime thighs could lead to such a rabbit hole.
Same 😞
Touhou itself is a rabbithole
this version and the used version= YU-MU.
Arguably the best Kishida Kyoudan song ever.
@@DoujinDude Agreed
Spacy and void like~
Persistent like usual, of course~
Why doesn't ZUN use it?
It's better than the in-game version
Omae Wa Mou :)
Well look like someone come from deadman lol
I have some good proofs that yuuka is near or at yukari level, in the PC-98 version she teleports you in the dream world (Mugetsu world
) for fight Reimu and Marisa, so that mean she can open dimension. She is more than immortal,like fairy immortalities, yukari cant do anything to her, fact that Reimu beat Yuuka was lie, yuuka begin to learn magic at the end of Mystic square after Beating Shinki a freaking godess and said she was weak (danmaku rules doesnt exist in PC-98, it was like a death match), in touhou 13 she fights Shikieiki, and wasn’t affraid. I think that means that Yuuka can win almost all the fights, Even if you are more strong than her, she will be always the predator, like Chara vs Sans, Chara will still smile and find a way to beat you= Yuuka will still smile and find a way to beat you.
I find this one is slightly faster than the used one
I dunno, I like the other one better, but I feel like this one fits yuuka better because it feels more like a mature woman who has abilities linked to flowers. The other one feels like a little loli who has powers of mass destruction, yet she still acts like a rather serious final boss.
I actually wasn't absolutely in love with the original. I thought it was good, but I preferred the sleeping Yuuka theme. This, though, I do prefer.
I don't know what I was saying. All are amazing!
I get a few Strawberry Crisis-vibes from this version.
YU-MU sang this song in the Touhou anime op?
i like the original better cause one big part thats missing in this one... is the replaced part at 0:41 and that part is my favourite part on the original. i said part a lot lol. and also.. Y U MAKE SO MANY ALT THEMES ZUN?
Y U MUAKE *
I think it's part of the creative process. :D
Is it good or bad that I think this is better than the one that was put in the game?
Around the part of 0:16 there is a different kind of tune meanwhile in the original it's way different, there's a difference. Try listening to the original, or get the original and play the original at the same time with this and maybe you'll learn which parts are mended.
I prefer the instruments on the official version, but I much prefer the melody on this one.
You this theme is used right? The last battle with Yuuka?
there are some parts that dont even sound the same...
She looks like raiko
If this is unused then what is Yuuka's actual theme? It sounds the same...
Is there a fm 86 version of this one
I can only see the title theme here.... The hell is wrong with the videos?
it's alright
PCB Yukari's theme is overrated, btw
Ran's theme >>>>> Yukari's
