SC-88Pro - Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke (MIDI version) - 東方永夜抄 ～ Imperishable Night OST

月まで届け、不死の煙
Extra Boss - Fujiwara no Mokou's theme from 東方永夜抄 ～ Imperishable Night

th08_19.mid | Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
Recorded on a real SC-88Pro. ® ZUN / 上海アリス幻樂団
The MIDI music in Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishable Night and Phantasmagoria of Flower View were all made for the SC-88Pro, but unlike Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (in EoSD the 88Pro MIDIs are the originals) they were only included as a quick bonus. In other words they wont sound as good as they could. In some cases, the MIDI versions may be based on earlier versions of the WAV tracks.

ZUN's comment:
Mt. Fuji erupting would be scary. The smoke would have many different components to it.
That mountain is rife with impurities...
If that smoke reaches the moon, the moon would become tainted as well.
This is Mokou Fujiwara's theme.
I tried to bring out as much intimidation, power and coolness I could that some shadiness came out. But even if the song isn't shady, the character certainly is.
I always like kicking it old school for the Extra Boss song. This time around I really kicked it.

藤原 妹紅のテーマです。
出来るだけ格好よさや威圧感、パワフルさを抑えて、如何わしさが出るようしました。いやまぁ曲で如何わしくしなくても、キャラだけで十分如何わしいんですが。
エキストラボスはいつも昔のゲームっぽい曲にしている所があります
今回は大昔のゲームっぽい曲に（ぉ

1:16 HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO DIFFERENT

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

That part sounds closer to the electric guitar covers of this theme than it did to the original xylophone-y soundy thing.

[@jeromesol2725]

Out of all the covers, this one is the best because the software used for it fits Mokou's theme so good

このぴっちすき

[@ReiujiUtsuho712]

this version hits different

0:27 Hey this synth kinda fucking lit lol

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

True. Also you're here too?? I thought you only lived in vtuber clip comment sections

[@abarette_]

@@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache I was into touhou before vtb tho
not to mention that I don't even follow vtb stuff that much anymore

素晴らしいこれはマジで
西方感あるわ

[@wownice1771]

This is very great

[@naldinhoostman7535]

so the MIDI version of the songs in Imperishable Night are only avaiable in a SC88pro? i dind't quite get it

[@RomantiqueTp]

ZUN's MIDIs were meant to be played on a SC-88Pro module.
This is their intended sound.

[@naldinhoostman7535]

oh i think i get it now

[@LumaControl]

@@RomantiqueTp or an SD-90 Edirol/Roland

[@ShaffySwitcher]

​@@LumaControl nope it wasn't meant to be played on a SD90
playing it in a sd90 will sound really bold and flat since the midi were meant to played on a sc88pro
and even if you put the correct patch everywhere you'll notice that most of the sound like 40% come from super quarlet/drum kit or the steinberg guitarist for this era

[@LumaControl]

@@ShaffySwitcher oh, didn't know that, thanks! I always figured, since the SD was the module ZUN himself used that would work too... The more you know...

[@MAGInHeaven]

Midi moment

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

Yeah it's literally in the title, what did you expect

[@emishimaru-sama6449]

1:39 Sounds like Plain Asia midi version.

[@LoveFor298Yen]

The beginning piano lacks the punch of the WAV
