Changeability of Strange Dream - Track 5: Boys and Girls of Science Era

◊ Title: 科学世紀の少年少女
◊ Artist: ZUN
◊ Album: 夢違科学世紀　～ Changeability of Strange Dream
Wow, this song is pretty awesome. However, even though Maribel and Renko are supposedly from a future where all food is synthetic and where children don't smile, all their songs seem pretty old aged and happy. I guess that's the magic of ZUN?

How the heck does this man to make every single song I think "Oh, never heard that before, let's do it!" sound so fucking awesome!? I freaking love ZUN.

Braviqui We clearly haven't been playing the same games if you think Reimu is anything but the gayest lesbian to walk the face of the planet.

[@EldricVanguard]

Reimu Doll!!! Now, we need a Marisa Doll owo

[@ceroders103]

[@Alyssa_Swift]

Actually, if one of the key differences of '20 minutes in the future' is that children don't smile, why the hell is there a ferris wheel?

[@anueutsuho7425]

Well, most kids don't. Apparently economic inequality is pretty bad in this future so it probably costs like 6 million dollars to go on it once. So only the richest of the rich could go on it..

[@Awalys]

Is that a CReimu Mary is holding? Makes sense, becuase all of the Touhoumon games have these two as playable characters. Oh yeah, and Red in the background.

[@Awalys]

Heh, I was just joking, you know.

[@HeraldoS2]

***** That could be a great idea for TSA as merchandising a Maribel with a Reimu doll.

[@HeraldoS2]

***** Anyway, I have realized that I have been having one existential question about Maribel and Renko all this time: Who is younger?

[@MysteriousYou2br]

HERALDO SUPREMO 2 Lmao YES

[@Geoff69420]

Definitely not Red. It looks like some totally unimportant gas station attendant.

[@Usami_Salami]

This song needs a lot more recognition.

[@Tycitron6000]

I agree fellow Sumi

[@Poggle566]

ZUN gets his own theme so I choose this as mine. XD

[@elvergalarga-jo9vs]

That little reimu...

[@Antsaboy94]

The beginning reminds me of Hong Meiling's theme.

[@ilyenamaru]

It’s the same chord progression, and it has its roots all the way back in Mystic Square with Yumeko’s theme Sorry for being, uh, 6 years late

...Well, I did it. I found a touhou track that I've never heard in any way, shape or form before. And by ZUN does it slap.

[@The_Vible]

Fun fact: The track is used for a leitmotif in the extra stage for touhou 18

So the melody on the black mirror on the wall was this?

[@RAEOutofService]

I mean yeah because black mirror on the wall is an arrangement of the original songs

[@fcantil]

It's that and also the 9th track "Border Between Dream and Reality".

[@Nicius-]

The future is now.

[@burr69]

Hold the phone was that the licc??? 0:15

[@vegasj10]

I love the Reimu doll Maribel is holding ;3; I want one too!! D: but I'm gonna make my figure hold it

[@pizywizy506]

+gatra1320 No they're from the Near Future, although how near is never said.

[@EinherjarMadCat]

pizywizy506 , to be fair, the near future is based on how long-lived a species is.

[@pizywizy506]

EinherjarMadCat That comment is based on old information. The time period that the music CDs take place in has been calculated to be in the 2150s, based on the astronomical events in MA, iirc the right cd. Even then, saying that near is based on the lifespan of people is reasonably applicable, but not the end all of time frames. After all the collapse of the Western Roman Empire happened ~1600 years ago, but that's within the ~30000, if that's the right number, years of human history, that itself is within the entirety of the history of the world. This just means we should work within the limits of the timeframe of Touhou, which is a question that is pretty open ended, so I will let you decide for yourself what that is. I personally use the lower limit of the initial conceptualization of Gensokyo, which is ~400 years prior to the sealing of Gensokyo, and the upper limit of whenever the latest music CD is. In that sense the Near Future is near, but definitely not within our lifetimes. Feels bad man.

Yes, the gender that only have relevance as romantic relationships for the most important female protagonists of entertainment media. Get your facts right

[@phoenixhartmann7121]

for a sec I thought renko had three arms idk why

[@azurechen123]

one more step and that pokemon trainer will spot them in his "vision"

[@dualwieldroxas358]

Well, Gensokyo is set apart from the real world, so they may even come from the present at that time.

[@TwilightSwordman120]

the first part reminds me of the potion shops music from Zelda

[@TenninWorks]

Is that a doll of reimu or an infant cosplaying as reimu?

[@gatra1320]

ummm dude i think you got it wrong.... Renko and Maribel might be came from the past as implied by PMiSS (maybe wrong though)

[@kienphucnguyen2001]

Actually they are not in the same world or same timeline where “touhou project” took place. They’re from the near future , about 100 years later when they’re members of secret sealing club founded by sumireko. Google them , doujin albums even have stories about them.
