Border of Life - METAL COVER - Touhou PCB [Yuyuko's Theme]

[@YaboiMatoi]

More songs like this are on my *Touhou album!* 🎵 *LISTEN NOW:* ampl.ink/Q0mkZ Hey, guys! 👋 Thank You so much for checking out my cover of Border of Life! I wanted to put as much work into it as the original deserves. I actually got inspired to cover this theme by the Yuyuko PV song and animation by Shoujo Fractal, which is why I wanted to try out different styles with clean guitars and a full orchestra beneath it. I'm super proud of the way it came out and I hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching, guys!!! 😁

[@Farsuvon]

*gets the **0:39** part right* THANK YOU

[@teteuscot5098]

is it wrong that i subbed only for these amazing touhou arranges?

[@YaboiMatoi]

Totally fine, dude. I try to do a little something of everything, with 2hu being my main focus. Thanks for watching, man!!

[@AndreaForlani]

So I am not the only one! I did subscribe mainly for Touhou arranges, too. However, do take a look at Yaboi's other works: they are excellent!

[@BenersantheBread]

I wish someone would cover this song and include the actual Border of Life at the end, the one that plays during Resurrection Butterfly. I don't consider the song finished in my mind without that.

[@YaboiMatoi]

Ah ye I see what you mean. I think in a cover format Resurrection Butterfly would sound almost identical to Border of Life. Its elements are also part of Border of Life in harmony or melody. So every Border of Life cover is also kind of an indirect cover of Resurrection Butterfly in a sense :D What makes Resurrection Butterfly unique is the piano rise in the beginning.

[@RawFish2DChannel]

2:07 you got that part right

[@zwushhd2962]

God after knowing Yuyuko past/backstory, I never hear/feel this song the same again

[@YaboiMatoi]

It’s such a well written plot! Probably my favorite Touhou lore

[@bullethellfire7997]

I can't wait for more Touhou this is truly spectacular ⑨

[@stellerseider270]

It's Always nice to see the musician while they are playing. The face mirroring all the joy and Emotion when all the Heart is poured just into playing the Instrument unfiltered :D In another Note, Have you thought about covering reach for the moon, Immortal smoke? It seems to fit quite well for a cover with electric guitar, with the calm Melodic and fast paced energetic Segments. (And I really Love that Theme, so I might be a bit biased ^^')

[@YaboiMatoi]

Immortal Smoke is *Definitely* on my must-cover list. I will do it sooner or later! I love Mokou's theme myself! Thank You so much for the kind words, man!

[@JLippe]

BORDER OF LIFE!!! YEEEEESSSSS!!! I love this song (oh really!?), I think this is one of the best songs (if not the best song) from PCB! When I managed to make a 1cc run in Touhou 7 this song kept playing in my head for hours (I was really happy, it was my first 1cc run in any Touhou game lol). You did a great cover for this music, as you always do!

[@YaboiMatoi]

Thanks so much! I've never 1cc'd ever. I gotta challenge myself sometime, lol. But yeah, Yuyuko has a sweet theme! PCB in general has a beautiful vibe to it.

Thanks so much! I experimented with some ideas on clean guitars here. Very happy you like it! :D

I think Touhou is a lot more popular on bilibili than here, but I'm very happy you joined here on KZbin to watch as well!

[@flandrescarlet9264]

YaboiMatoi I mean that your video has been reprinted in bilibili by an uploader, with more views than that in KZbin. So you may as well publish videos on bilibili，bilibili has many Touhoufans

[@YaboiMatoi]

I know the uploader. He has my permission to reupload it there. No worries! Thanks for letting me know, nonetheless! 👍

[@YaboiMatoi]

That’s so cool of you, man! I’ll keep at it! Thanks so much!!!

[@10kmilesy]

The vibe is REAL

[@ivlaox7359]

Touhou 7 is my second favourite part of the series(after TH16) and this theme in particular is to me one of the best themes in the whole series. You've done a great work of playing it on differrent guitars. I hope you doesn't mind what I'll say next, but to my mind your arrangement is a little bit too slow. Yuyuko is a very happy and energetic person so I think her theme deserves some move. And almost everyone forgets about her last spellcard theme and I think it would be cool to add a final bit of it to the end. The final chords of it give me such a good memories of finishing the 1cc after dodging all her spellcards and they're so energetic and beutiful. But nevertheless, great guitar arrangement.

[@YaboiMatoi]

Thanks for the feedback, man! I see what you mean, I didn't wanna stray away from the original tempo of the song, hence keeping it the way it is x). I appreciate the comment, man. Thanks so much!

[@loganminton2412]

[@subterraneanrose2722]

Nothing short of stunning!

[@dms9662]

Thanks for the amazing cover of Border of Life. A bit sad that you didn't incorporate the resurrection theme too, but that's a minor nitpick honestly. This cover absolutely rocks! And personally I think I like your version a bit better than Richaad's. Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward for that Immortal Smoke cover.

[@YaboiMatoi]

Thanks for the feedback. That's a brilliant idea with the resurrection theme. There's so many possibilities with a cover so that just flew way over my head. Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're looking forward to a cover of mine. I really appreciate it, man!

[@XziledBlog]

I love this! And seems you really enjoyed this too xD

Sick cover once more dude. Really liking all the Touhou stuff you are putting out. Waiting for the Flowering Night cover. :P

[@YaboiMatoi]

Should I do Flowering Night even if I've referenced it so many times already? Sure! :D When I get to it, I think I'd spice it up something along the lines like BeatMARIO did with Night of Nights. Up the tempo and make you feel like actual knives are flying at you lol. Thanks, man!

[@jm0062]

Damn nice. Your videos are seriously amazing. The music, the editing, even your faces; they're all great. Keep it up, man. By the way, have you considered doing a cover of Youmu's theme? Maybe even combine it with Border of Life and Necrofantasia for a nice little medley.

[@YaboiMatoi]

I was always thinking of medleys as being these giant projects but a minimedley like that is a pretty good idea! I'll try that concept some time! Thanks, man! You mean the PoFV Youmu's Theme, right? I know you've commented on the Hiroari cover video, which is why I'm asking. 😅

[@jm0062]

YaboiMatoi No, I meant her PCB theme, but I just realized I'm a complete idiot and I forgot I watched that video literally yesterday. Nevermind...

[@YaboiMatoi]

@@jm0062 Haha! It's alright, dude. I'll keep the minimedley idea in mind though!

[@dms9662]

Y'know, I feel bad about saying this since you've already done Hiroari and this song too. But a medley of the two plus Necrofantasia is a freaking good idea.

[@YaboiMatoi]

No need to feel bad. I’m always looking for reasons to remake a song since they’re that fun to cover. Matter of fact, I’ve been thinking of doing a full length PCB medley for a while now, but there sure is a charm about just the 3 songs next to each other. I might do one or the other ^^
