Ghostly Field Club - Track 4: Ancient Temple in the Netherworld

◊ Title: 古の冥界寺
◊ Artist: ZUN
◊ Album: 蓮台野夜行　～ Ghostly Field Club
Hakugyokurou? Ha, I wouldn't be surprised, since this creepy tune fits it like a puzzle piece. Actually it's only creepy at first, then it picks up a lighter tone, and gets a bit lively. Haha, like Yuyuko, I guess XD
*Also, bad transition is bad, but it was the closest to the original that I could get, so please, I hope you still enjoy it*

For the Music category in the recent Touhou Popularity Poll 10, this track received 16 votes out of ~31,000 total. Mine was one of them. Too bad this hasn't been featured in a game; people don't know what they're missing!

5 years later. Eh. SAKAMOTO!

[@painovoimaton]

This song is exactly like the Netherworld of touhou. You have died a few hours ago, judged by Eiki Shiki, you arrive to your new homeworld. First it seems creepy and silent, but starts to show it's beautiful elegant side. Then you find out that the place is much more lively than you expected at first glance.

[@jayrs1528]

Except that everyone in Gensokyo goes to hell after death. That's canon.

[@touhouyamax2755]

Did you mention me?

[@HanakkoLove]

@@jayrs1528 Mind telling me where you got that from?

[@jayrs1528]

That comment is partially a result of Eiki's flanderization of judging people as guilty, and partially because of depression.

[@anonymousanonymous8216]

@@jayrs1528 sooo it's not canon and you fabricated it

[@Kopoane]

It's almost like finding a missing PCB theme. This song really takes me to Gensokyo.

[@KitsuneVoidsinger]

This sounds like a beautiful combination of PCB and the PC-98 style and it truly is a beautiful piece.

[@anonymousanonymous8216]

it sounds like neither tho

[@Hakkuden]

There was a fangame that used this music for one of its levels, and that level itself was one of the most mentally exhausting video game experiences of my life, so I can't help but associate this music with bad things... y-y The music is very good, but my trauma is bigger.... (btw the fangame's name is Touhou Wandering Souls, and aside from that level, it was pretty good)

[@Toastkoro]

Songs like this one really take me all the way to Gensokyo. However, when I get confronted with the reality that it's just an illusion, the feeling turns bittersweet in the blink of an eye. Oh how I wish I could actually be in an ancient temple in the Netherworld...

[@juliusjerome1188]

Toastkoro How do you think Yukari gets there?

[@Bravidunno]

Julius Jerome Yukari is also an illusion.

[@Omehatl]

Cannonically, when outside humans appear in gensokyo, is to be food for yokai. So dunno If i wanted to be there lol

The solo in this song holy shit

[@luckluster]

I've just now realized how much this song has grown up in me. I mean it's simple, but why it's not n any game? Why!?

[@firstsliceofapieinover4yea344]

The picture and song is making me nostalgic, idk why Edit: still a beautiful song tho :)

[@Saianpwns]

this would fit in a extra stage

[@david1621]

This song is lit af!

[@francis_p]

That bit at 3:06 tho

[@LynxLunairetic]

I wouldn't be here if not for Sound Holic's epic new Yurica (ZOMFG THAT WOMAN) vocal remix of this. Holy shit they're actually making me like more themes than I already do with their music.

[@prizmastarz742]

this should have been stage 5 song though (not that i hate Mystic oriental dream)

[@kimcringson7106]

This song is too calm for stage 5 standard (*cough Lullaby of Deserted Hell)

Yo bro you still alive? just checking.

[@Arzvet]

[@BerryjuiceSmudge]

What a nice piece. Can't believe I'd never heard it before. I'd be disapointed in the fact that I've never heard an arrange of it before but Touhou arranges are crap these days.
