Today I'm finally playing BORDER OF LIFE on piano!! This is Yuyuko's Theme from Touhou 7 PCB. I'm pretty sure this piece needs no introduction. If you're a fan of the series, you know that this is an S Tier final boss music. I also play her "Resurrection Butterfly" theme, and let me tell you, it wasn't easy. Quite the opposite of easy actually lol
I'm sure most of you guys were probably expecting this cover since I started playing Touhou music on the channel. It's finally here, so...enjoy!!

The perfect Boss theme for a boss that just refuses to die

[@hanjjaze]

Undyn- yeah yeah Yuyuko that's what I said

[@randomvietnamese]

beating Yuyuko before RB (spell card) : woo yeah baby that's what I'm talking about *BoL Final Spell plays, dies instantly cuz caught offguard* "fffffffffffffffff[bleep]"

[@kokodi01]

​@@hanjjaze *but it refused

[@spaghettiking7312]

And we celebrate that Yuyuko refuses to die.

[@Darkusaido]

You know you can't kill ghosts, right?

[@snackyberry]

me, placing this in the backround "man, this is such a good arrange" 2:39 "what" "WHAT" "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO" intense flashbacks to 1cc-ing PCB

[@RemindMeToCheck]

3:51 - You ACTUALLY did it!

[@BuruKyu]

Even without the zunpets it's amazing

[@fabiaaquino2207]

*_We are not ressurrecting the saigyou ayakashi with this one!!!!_* 🥶💀🙏

[@imanzahran1529]

We are making out of Hakugyokurou with this one !!!

[@James-om5yo]

Happy Birthday!

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Thanks!! :)

[@NIGHTMAREX505]

​@@ViddyWellSA11 OMG! Happy late birthday! Sorry

[@kiwi_446]

Happy birthday piano Jesus!!! Hope you enjoyed doing all these Touhou (and Len'en) covers!

[@ucminhnguyen-lw3wy]

Oh no fat ghost has come

[@ryuura6642]

Oh lawd she coming

[@newmaker62]

Fanon Yuyuko

[@spaghettiking7312]

One of the most beautiful and fitting themes ZUN has ever created. What's incredible is that these themes still hit as hard as they always have, if not harder, as time goes on.

[@gari6]

Zun gets the themes from the same place where Sakuya gets the knives

[@cdg670]

The resurrection part was godly. I saw the credits too early in the video and I thought: "Oh, I know what you're going for. Alright, I'll follow along your game. Surprise me". And you surprised me. Nice performance.

[@randomvietnamese]

when the zunpet proceeds to jumpscare you with the final spell/resurection butterfly : yes hearing BoL on piano was nice, what's more nicer was to realize how "loud" and "intense" it is as heard in resurrection butterfly version of BoL (ngl) keep it up with the content, maybe we all would love to hear your entire set of [Touhou OST] but on piano !

[@randomvietnamese]

yes lunatic mode was for the lunatics- ghosts do jumpscares, so yuyuko did caught me offguard during final spell card now hearing it back gives the nostalgia of how many hours spent just to be happy that you've won a touhou 7 normal run (as a new player to bullet hell, which I am)

[@williamr5618]

Legends say he's still playing Border of Life - Resurrection Butterfly part to this day

[@PresTsukasa]

Border of Life is absolutely one of the best songs for a piano cover, quite wonderful!

[@TreeFlob]

You’re so fucking talented, I’m sure there have been at LEAST 50 people (probably more) who have been inspired by you to learn how to play piano. Make it at least 51 because holy crap I want to learn now too

[@Tohorazen]

I wouldnt say talent but skill

[@fabiaaquino2207]

Count me in the 52's!

[@justagoofyahhusername]

53rd here :)

[@thepanman674]

​​@@Tohorazen learning to play by ear is both immense talent and skill. Speaking as a former pianist, trombonist, and (presently) perfect pitch haver. Almost forgot to mention that this guy is self-taught if you didn't know.

[@Tohorazen]

@@thepanman674 wow i was under the impression that you shouldnt write someones hard work off as simply ‘talent’, but i didnt know that talent actually does play a massive role in being able to play piano

[@paladin9195]

One of the best 2hu theme remixed by you ! that's perfect ! (and this fumo is godlike !)

[@Whatareyou---]

YUYUKO FUMO+THIS BANGERR dude fr the goat

[@dodoridodomeofficialch.6630]

BORDER OF LIFE LESGOOOOOOO

[@thepanman674]

I've been waiting for this for SO long! Imo Border of Life is the most climactic final boss theme that I've listened to so far (I like it as much as Idolitrize World, for reference). Amazing cover as always. Happy birthday as well! I only noticed your pinned comment once you started GOING CRAZY with the "Resurrection Butterfly" part. This is such a good cover.

[@B0rets]

NO WAY, one of my favourite Touhou soundtracks, related to my favourite character, by one of the best pianists. Happy birthday, mate!

[@HeruWilliams]

Absolutely great work. I respect your dedication! Also what a nice Fumo!❤

[@ImCrimson]

Yay, one of my favs! The intense flurry of notes 3:50 onwards sounds right up your alley lol

[@jesussalazar4385]

Aaaaahhhh lo hiciste lo hiciste, de verdad pusiste mi canción favorita de touhou que tanto estaba esperando y que una vez pedí en el canal 😭😭😭❤❤❤ No tengo palabras, no hay como describir lo magnifico que te quedó; me tocó profundo en el pecho y me llenó del mismo sentimiento que la primera vez que la escuché cuando finalmente pude llegar hasta yuyuko 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ Gracias, muchas muchas gracias 😭❤

[@DUSKvsDAWN]

this is so good omg. you are so insanely talented

[@user-bt5tz9fv1t]

Happy birthday day viddy🎉🎉🎉 Btw waited this phano cover for soooooooooo long time. Finally it happened 🔥🔥🔥

[@topc7398]

Ain't no party like a Viddy party !!!!!

[@Kalefromai]

Screw the red butterflys in the final attack

[@ViddyWellSA11]

yeah it's pretty tough

[@spaghettiking7312]

Part of me hates the final attack, but it's something to get better at for future playthroughs, and the theme is so awesome, it's really intense.

[@fabiaaquino2207]

Its so beatiful i get blind and lose the 1cc immediately 😭.

[@spaghettiking7312]

@@fabiaaquino2207 Relatable.

[@arystanbekjetisy7329]

Yeah I died on that part

[@Fleming_the_Lemming]

Awesome as always! I know there is a lot of really good Touhou songs, but honestly, these two might be my favorites. I mean, just listen to those melodies, it's so emotional for some reason ❤

[@YoannBB]

YO that solo is even more faithful than usual! Congratulations, it's near perfection 0_0

[@cornbeefcycles7336]

great job man, been waiting for this ever since the medley and once again you surpass my expectations completely with another banger! actually got chills down my spine when border of life (final spell) started playing. actually one of my top 5 final boss themes, elegant and mournful in just the right ways that tickle my brain. happy birthday!!!! you're one of the few reasons i look forward to mondays now (timezone differences ;P) because i'm always excited for another banger cover. hope you have another great year ahead of you!

[@DarkOverord]

First: Happy birthday Second: I am SO glad you included the Last Spell version of Border of Life as well, while I know it's an arrangement of the boss theme, I genuinely love it

[@thefeyseamster]

the sheer power and melancholic majesty of this theme is why it's among my favorite ZUN pieces... and you managed to evoke those feelings astonishingly well :) thank you for reminding me why you're such an inspiration to keep practicing the piano to me, and happy b-day!

[@minhmkvn4289]

Finally, a Yuyuko's final spell theme cover 🔥🔥🔥 Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIANO JESUS 🎉🎉🎉

[@LimaBr_]

man if only you did the same as pure furies video and also put ultimate truth in the beggining

[@ViddyWellSA11]

I was thinking about that, but then it would have been 3 covers in one...I kinda wanna give Ultimate Truth a proper treatment by giving it a video of its own :)

[@LimaBr_]

@@ViddyWellSA11 if you do an emotional cover im boutta get emotional

[@rtype2922]

great! your BoL is full blossom! Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas!!
